The Dade County Young Demo-
cratic Association held its fourth
annual Calendar Tea, at the File

festivities offered during the
afternoon.
In a short but very timely pro-
gram presented during the affair
State Representative Joseph Orr,
a candidate for reelection to
the state legislature, was the
principal speaker. Also offering
timely remarks on the occasion
was Atty. Robert G.. Givens, well
known Miami lawyer. But what

crowd attended the affair and all
were high in their praises of the
significant event.
Speaking upon the subject, "a
Persons Desire For Success and
the Possibilities of Reaching That
Desire" Atty. Arlington deliv-
cred che of the most inspiring adj
dresses ever heard on an occa-
sion of that kind. The attorney
quoted a number of well known
successful persons in developing
his topic and establishing the
fact that to really become sue
cessful one should begin with the
desire and willingness to give,
! ~ather than a desire to receive all
that he can for his own selfish
interest. It was a very fine adj
dress and was well received by
a most appreciative group of
ceople.

Meet the Need-Now!

Senator StenniS, who has been pre-
siding at the District budget hearings,
wants to know what became of the rec
concentrations resulting from the 1948
survey of District school needs conducted
by DR.. George D. Strayer. We hope some
body can tell him. For the most part,
however, the same things happened to
the Strayer recommendations that have
been happening to others in the past
seven years. They have been gathering
dust, lacking the money to pay for putting
them into effect.
We hope, however, that a study of
what happened to the Strayer study will
not divert attention from the greatest
single need confronting the District
schools today. That need is for more
teachers, substantially more teachers
than the Commissioners have been will
ing thus far to recommend. 1t has been
argued that more teachers will mean
higher taxes. That may be true. But
we have been paying tax increase after
tax increase since 1948 and we still lack
the funds required to do, in the schools,
what must be done.

have not been used to overcome deficl-
encies in the operation of the schools,
or other local government departments,
but have been used in large measure to
make up deficits caused by reductions in
the Federal payment The Federal Gov
eminent is largely responsible for the
condition in the District schools today
1t has a real obligation to improve that
condition. If the Senate committee will
approve the full Federal payment that
Congress has authorized, the needed
teachers can be hired. and a good start
made in restoring standards in achieve
ment by District pupils that are being
dangerously debaSed.

Contoqion in Poland?

Communist Poland seems to be de-
Stalinizing itself more thoroughly and
more enthusiastically than any other
Soviet satellite in Europe. The latest in
a series of noteworthy developments
along that line is Jacob Bermans "resig-
nation" both as deputy premier and as
key member of the Politburo in Warsaw.
To outsiders, this news may amount to
something less than a sensation, but the
Polish people have reason to welcome it
as rather exciting indication that their
country may be pulling away from COM
plete subServience to Moscow.
Berman, in any case, has been the
personification of such subservience. Ever
since the end of the Second World War,
he has been one of the most powerful of
Poland's Communists. Indeed, according
to some assessments of the man, he has
been the real boss of the Warsaw regime,
operating quietly behind the scenes as
the Kremlin'S chief agent in carrying
out the enslavement of his native country.
And he has been a pure, undiluted, 100
per cent StaliniSt who in the past has
played a major role in suppressing and
Furnishing "TitoiSt" comrades for having
"criminally" dared to argue for a meas
ure of national independence
So Berman's downfall strongly sug-
gests that the Soviet grip on Poland is
becoming considerably less iron than it
used to be- This seems the more true
because his resignation" has followed
the rehabilitation" of a number of the
former Red leaders disgraced and jailed
as advocates of the nationaliStic, nom
puppet brand of communism eSpoused
by Marshal Tito of YugoSlavia. And there
have been other signs within recent weeks
of softening of MoscoW's control. There
has been open and sharp criticism, for
example, of many of the satellite govern
ment's policies and actions Similarly,
voices have been raised-including Com
muniSt voiceS-in favor of an investiga-
ton to determine whether Russians or
Germans were responsible for the Katyn
Forest massacre of Polish officers, and
steps have been taken to restore honorS
and pensions TO the survivors of Polands
heroic non-Communist Home Army-the
army that Stain deliberately sacrificed
to the NaziS in the Warsaw uprising OF
1914.
Although 1t is possible to exaggerate
the significance Of these developments,
they certainly add up to a picture of
extraordinary change. In effect they in
dictate that "Titoism," having been ac-
cepted and blessed by Moscow'S post
Stain collective leadership is now
making itself felt in Warsaw in way
that may yet lead to profoundly far
reaching results. With their discomfort
and pressures of opinion, the overwhelm-
ingly Catholic Polish people historically
nationalistic and anti Observation-Disclosures
edly have had much to do with this
transformation, and they can be counted
upon to keep on striving to win back their

did in the recent primary
from the Ray Miller organiza-
ton in Cleveland. Not long
ago D m cratic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler said
publicly he doubted Lausche,
if elected to the Senate, would
vote with the Democrats to or
ganize that body in the new
Congress. This because of the
Governors openly expressed
admiration for President I'll
Senhower. Whether Buffers
comment was intended to hurt
Lausche or help him, the net
result may be in Lausches
favor. His Republican support
ers, it is argued, may conclude
that they can continue to go
along with the Governor on
the ground that he will vote
in the Senate with the Essen
hover administration. On the
other hand, it may be argued
that this would cause Dem
ocrats to refrain from voting
for Lausche-or even to vote
against him. 1t is historically
a fact, however. that Lausche
has been able to hold the
Democrats in his past VIC
tories.
Mayor CObO Causes Stir
Lausche. IN addition to run
ming for the senatorial nomi-
nation. also ran for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation, as a favorite-son cam
didate. Here he met slight
check-for apparently he has
lost four or five of the delegate
votes out of Ohio's So delegate
votes in the party's national
convention. The upshot of the
primary results has been to
encourage Senator Bender and
his Republican supporters. 1t
should be remembered. how
ever, that it is mighty difficult
10 defeat a personally popular
candidate in any election.
The political picture in
Michigan has been stirred by
the recent announcement of
Mayor Albert E. Cobo of De-
troit that he is a candidate
for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination. Cobo, a Re-
publican, has been three times
elected Mayor of the city
which is the Democratic
stronghold d Michigan. Be-
fore that he was city treas
urer.
The mayoralty election is
conducted on a nonpartisan
basis. Nevertheless, Mayor
Cobo is expected to get far
more votes in Detroit than any
other gubelnatorial candidate
the Republicans could put up.
Eisenhower carried the State
in 1852 with lead of $4,000

Georgio's Next Senator

Herman E. Talmadge, the man who
in all probability will be Georgia's next
Senator, is being brushed aside as DEM
agogue by those who don't like his pol
iticS. There is reason to doubt, how
ever, that this, in the strict sense,
is an accurate characterization of young
"Hummun."
AS a politician, he is far removed
from his late father, "Op Gene" Tai
madge, of red gallus and tobacco chewing
fame. The son had a very credtable
record as Governor of his State He also
can beat the political bushes with the
best of them, and he pulls no punches on
the issues of racial segregation, States
rights and letting foreigners pursue their
own foreign ways. But this does not
make him a demagogue in the sense that
he does these things to incite the people
in order to promote his own political
fortunes.
There is an important distinction to
be made. Herman Talmadge doubtless is
wide awake to the political effectiveness
in Georgia of his type of campaigning.
But he does not harp on these issues
merely to drum up votes for himself He
really believes in segregation, in States
rights, and in no foreign entanglements.
Furthermore, he is an intelligent young
man who is quite capable of polished,
effective exposition of his beliefs. Those
who think that another rabble- Of
OF the old school is on his way to Wash
inptOn are in for a SllrnriSe.

full independence. What is more, they
may get what they want in the long run.
And how must the other satellites
feel? They have seen the Kremlin apol-
ogize to and fawn upon Marshal Tito,
and now they see Red Poland-without
any adverse reaction from Moscow thus
far-beginning to act less puppetlike.
SO why should they remain completely
servile? The question must surely be
occurring to them. This is thing that
could conceivably become a contagion-
a benign contagion that could in time
put an end to the Iron Curtain and all
the tyranny and threat it hides

How Many B-52s?

We do not think that national de-
Tense will suffer because the House has
refused to appropriate an additional
ST billion for B-52s.
This proposal was made by Repre-
sentative Flood, Democrat of PennSyl-
vania At prevailing prices, it would
have made possible the purchase of about
125 additional intercontinental bombers.
Mr. Flood said that we have about SO of
these planes on hand, and Defense Sec
rotary Wilson has testified that there are
funds in the new budget to buy 202 of
the big jet bombers.
If national security were synonymous
with numbers of bombers, Mr. Flood
would have a strong argument. But this
is not the case, and it seems to us that
Representatives Scrivner, Republican of
Kansas, and Mahon, Democrat of Texas,
who opposed the 81 billion addition, had
much the better of the debate.
Mr.. Mahon, who cannot be accused
of any partisan interest, and who has
proved himself friend of national de-
Tense, said fatty that the defense posture
of the United States would not be i'm
proved by appropriating an additional
billion dollars at this time. If the bill
becomes law as it stands, he declared, the
Air Force alone will have SOS billion for
procurement on July /. IF we could snap
our fingers and bring into being today
1000 additional B-52S," he continued,
I'VE would not necessarily be great deal
better off. We would not have the men
to man them-the mechanics and tech
nicians. !. >. Why make a gesture of fiscal
responsibility and provide an additional
billion dollars when the funds could not
be properly used at this time?"
Mr.. Mahon asserted, and there
seemed to be general agreement on the
point, that the thing we desperately
need" to strengthen our Air Force is more
trained personnel. Several Democrats
contended that budget policies of the
administration are responsible for the
inadequacy of Air Force manpower and
bases. This may be true. But nothing
emerged from the debate on the House
floor which would lead one to believe that
we would be better off with an additional
billion dollars earmarked this year for
the purchase of more B-52s.

Time to Bury 1t

Testimony given House District
subcommittee by District officials ought
to be sufficient to kill the revived Potomac
River tunnel proposal without further
ado. Engineer Commissioner Lane, High
way Director Robertson and others gave
number of persuasive reasons for inter-
ring the tunnel and proceeding forthwith
with construction of the already-author-
lied bridge at Constitution avenue
General Lane pointed out that the
four-lane tunnel advocated by park au-
thoritieS would be, in effect, an under
ground bottleneck instead of the traffic
relief facility urgently needed in the CEN
trail area Such a tube, he testified, would
be able to handle only half the traffic
which the bridge would be able to handle.
And even if a six-lane tunnel were built
Cat cost about three times that of the
bridge) the movement of traffic would
be slowed by the grades required to bring
the tunnel entrances above ground. Fur
thermore, the subcommittee was told that
leveeS would have to be provided to safe
guard the entrances against river floods
of the sort that have inundated Potomac
Park in years past.
In short, the tunnel plan has eco
nomic, engineering and traffic drawbacks
that outweigh the esthetic considerations
stressed by its advocates. Such being
the case, no more time should be wasted
on the tunnel measure Instead, prompt
approval ought to be given pending legs-
lation authorizing minor shift in the
location OF the Constitution avenue bridge
and clearing the way for actual construc-
ton Of the badly needed structure.
