Merited Praise

President Eisenhower has given
George A. Garrett well-deserved praise
for his quiet but effective co-ordinating
efforts in expediting the redevelopment
of Southwest Washington. Assigned last
March to act as sort Of mediator IN
bringing together conflicting views OF
those involved in the far-reaching pro-
gram, Mr.. Garrett worked energetically
and tactfully to break what looked like
serious impasse.
Perhaps the most difficult part OF his
task was to find a satisfactory solution
of the controversy between the Zecken-
dorf interests, on the one hand, and the
Smithsonian Institution and National
Capital Planning Commission, on the
other, over site for the proposed Air
Museum. Mr.. Garrett informed the
President that this final problem has been
disposed of insofar as any interference
with redevelopment is concerned. He
pointed out that the planning agency
has recommended that site elsewhere
than on the Southwest Mall be found for
the museum. (Of course, the problem OF
finding such a site still remains) Mr..
CARROTS optimistic report to the Presi-
dent and the latter'S confident comments
on the progress Of the great rebuilding
enterprise In the Southwest are highly
encouraging to those who had been dis
mayed by recurrent disputes and delays.

Our New Commissioner

To most Washingtonians the Presi-
dents announced decision to nominate
David Brewer Karrick to succeed Samuel
Spencer on the Board of District Commits
sionerS next April may come as a mild
but Welcome-SurpriSe
The surprise arises from the fact that
Mr.. Karrick has not been included among
those perennially mentioned as candi-
dates for commissionership in the spec
ulation that always precedes filling a va
cancy on the board. Nor has he played
part in local Republican politics which
would suggest that his selection was re-
ward for party service. In fact, it was
only last Thursday that his name leaked
out publicly as possibility.
Mr.. Karrick'S qualifications seem to
The Star to be outstanding. Although
born in Boston, he has lived in Washing
ton almost continuously since he was six.
He has distinguished family back
ground. He is businessman-lawyer with
special qualifications in financial and tax
matters that should stand him in excel
lent stead as a Commissioner. AS sub
stantial property owner, being the head
OF Fidelity Storage Co. and Karrick Prop
critics, he has a vested interest in the
well-being and development of the capital
city. He also has a notable distaste for
red tape and is direct in his approach to
problems.
The Star welcomes the choice of Mr..
Karrick as nonpolitical effort by Presi-
dent Eisenhower to give the District
the qualified leadership which will be
urgently needed in this community in the
years ahead

EnviobIe Greenbockers

Although the fact has received scant
attention, one man already has been
formally and definitely nominated for
the presidency of the United States. The
Greenback Party has seen to that. With
out any fuss or feathers, or the expensive
and exhauSting Whoop-de-doo of a big
national convention, it has held a mail
referendum in which it has chosen as its
standard-bearer Fred c. Proehl, grocer
from the State of Washington. In addi-
ton, 1t has decided on his running mate
"a Bostonian named Edward K. Meador.
With the preliminaries thus out of the
way, the only thing it has to bother about
now is to get out and win, which it
proposes to do on platform that stands
four-square in favor of abolishing "spe-
cial privileges"
The Greenback Party, of course, is
not as strong as it was back in the 187Os
and 1880s, when it created quite stir,
and elected numerous congressman and
State legislators, with its cry for things
like easy printing press money However,
even though it polled such tiny vote in
1852 that it can hardly get place on
the ballot this year, its nomination of
Messrs. Proehl and Meador has the quaint
and somehow pleasing virtue of injecting
at least one note of certainty into these
days of national political uncertainty.
Unlike the Republicans and the Demo-

To the Hate Monqers

Carl Sandburg did not spend all of his
18th birthday gazing out on the Great
Smokes from the porch of his Flat Rock,
North Carolina, home. He also offered
comment which should be helpful to those
who think of our relations with Russia in
terms of mutual hatred.
The distinguished poet and Lincoln
biographer noted that in the past arms
races have always led to warS-Wars in
which numerous nations and tribes have
been totally destroyed Once again there
is an arms race, this time between the
United States and Russia. But both
countries, as Mr.. Sandburg observed,
know that if this race leads to war each
nation can completely destroy the other.
And this knowledge, he said, may mean
that there won't be third world war.
The real danger, in his judgment, is that
hatred may feed upon hatred until reason
Is submerged.
Those who go about the world
preaching doctrines of fear and distrust
which lead inevitably to hatred ought to
heed this wise mans admonition. For
the end result of their counsel, If 1t pre-
walls, will very probably be war. Given
the present capacity for mutual destruc-
ton, this is form of madness.
There is but one rational course to
follow. First, we must maintain state
OF military preparation which will dis
courage any attack. And in addition we
must strive patiently and unremittingly
to reduce the tensions and the fears
which bar the way to a decent peace.
This will be long and painful process.
There will be many setbacks and dis
couragements. But if this world is to look
forward hopefully to the future, it is a
process which, in the end, must be
successful.

Matter of Fact

An Associated Press dis
patch from Atlanta, appearing
in The Star under a December
81 dateline. stated Rupert L.
Murphy Of Atlanta, sworn in
as a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, thus
becomes the first Georgian to
serve on the board in more
than so years."
My father. Commissioner
Judson c. Clements, also a
native Georgian. represented
the 7th Georgia district in the
House of Representatives for
10 years prior to his appoint
ment to the ICC. He was APP
pointed to the ICC on March
II, 1892, and served continu-
ously for rs years, until his
death June 10, 1917. This was
SO years ago, not SO.

Back on the Job

1t is good to have President EiSen-
hover back in the White House today
"in full Swing"-aS he promised in his
Key West news conference yesterday.
The next few weeks will be busy ones
with long list of messages to Congress
and meetings with Britain'S Prime Min
lister Eden being high on the Presidential
agenda. And 1t will be in the discharge
of these full duties of the Presidency"
as Mr. Eisenhower expressed it, that he
will be testing himself and the extent Of
his complete recovery from his heart
attack of last September.
Meanwhile, he made clear yesterday
he has thought long and seriously about
the paramount question of whether or not
he will make himself available for Sec
ond term nomination. He has, he implied,
reached tentative decision but it is not
a fixed one. Quite in keeping with his
lifetime record of public service his sense
of duty will be a guiding factor-along
with his own feelings and the opinions
of his doctors on his health.
In summary, Mr.. Eisenhower is ap-
plying a enthusiastically careful and
thoughtful sense of responsibility to the
question he Is facing. He has not hurried
to any conclusion on a basis of political
preSSures or personal desires. It is safe
to assume, therefore, that his final deci-
sion-when he makes twill be what he
considers to be best for the Nation as well
as for himself. Nothing more could be
fairly asked, now or later.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Though the day was bitter
cold, Jones got the old chair
out Of the garage and took it
to the spot on the lawn where
he had sat for his sun baths
all summer.
Stubby had always Joined
him. and perched on q small
stool by his side.
Jones thought that, If he
sat down, and called. maybe
Stubby would come join him
as Of old.
Suddenly he felt the soft
touch of fur. and there was
old man Stubs.
The cat ate some ground
beef and drank a saucer of
half and half.
Then he went into the house
with Jones and beat up two
other pets.
BY this time our old friend
was convinced that Stubby had
q few lives left. He could find
nothing wrong except two
broken whiskers and q small
cut.
Today Stubby is as belliger-
ent as ever, but very jittery
about cars.
Maybe that feeling will help
conserve his seven remaining
lives.
Seven lives are none too
many in modern traffic.

Peiping's Latest

The latest propaganda outburSt from
Peiping is a characteristic potpourri OF
falsificationS. 1t charges that Chinese
nationals in the United States are being
restrained from returning to Red China,
and it berates our Government for the
endless dragging out Of the Sino-Amert-
can talks" that have been going on in
Geneva ever since last August /.
But what is the truth? Actually, all
Chinese citizens in the United States are
now perfectly at liberty to go back to
China if they want to. Further, II any
of them feel that our authorities are
seeking to deny them that right, they
are free to invoke the aid Of the Indian
Embassy here in Washington, and Peiping
itself may request the same embassy to
investigate the situation should there be
a dispute over individual cases. In short,
Red China's propaganda on this subject
is simply lie
AS for dragging out" the Geneva
talks, the demonstrable fact is that
Peiping has deliberately stalled those
talks by reneging on it's agreement to
permit American civilians in Red China
to return "expeditiously" to the United
States. There are at least thirteen such
individuals still being held over there,
with most of them probably imprisoned,
and possibly as mistreated and in as poor
health as the recently released Brad
shaWs. And now, far from living up to
it's pledged word, the Mao Tze-tung
regime has indicated that it intends to
keep on using several or all of these
unfortunate persons as pawns in cruel
OBTAINING game that may last for long
time to come This is the primary reason
why virtually no progress has been
achieved by the negotiations being car
ried on at the ambasSadorial level in
Geneva.
Yet, more or less like Beelzebub
striking holier- than-thou attitude, Pei
ping is putting on a show Of righteous
Indignation and trying to ascribe its own
bad faith to the United States, which
has done no reneging whatever. At the
same time, while implicitly threatening
to break off the current talks, the Chinese
Communists are calling once again for
full-dress Sino-American negotiations at
a higher level-presumably between Sec
rotary of State Dulles and Premier and
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
All of which smacks of an effort by
Red China to pressure our country into
the kind of talks that would imply diplo-
matte recognition. Eventually, Of course,
something like a Dulles-Chou meeting
may be advisable if it promises to yield
good results as regards such issues as
FormoSa. At the moment, however, the
idea is unworthy of consideration, and 1t
will remain that way as long as PeipingS
conduct continues to be what 1t Is.
