gagement the Japanese fleet was taken
by surprise and suffered a disastrous
defeat-one which proved to be turning
point In the war.
After the war Admiral Mccormick
became Vice Chief of Naval Operations
and then was made commander of the
Atlantic Fleet. Despite Prime Minister
Churchill's insistence on British COM
mander for the new combined fleet under
the 12-nation North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, Admiral Mccormick was
given the post. He had the distinction
of commanding the first NATO fleet
maneuver ever staged-a sort of shake
down operation that proved of great value
in improving teamwork among the forces.
His experiences in two world wars and In
the NATO mission fitted him we'll for his
last assignment, as head of the Naval
War College. The Navy has lost an

Promising Deal

The agricultural transaction now
being negotiated between India and the
United States promises to be mutually
beneficial. 1t would make available to
the Indians great amount of our surplus
wheat flour, rice and some cotton. In
return, while being relieved Of an excess
OF commodities that it does not need. our
country would receive over long-term
period rupee reimbursement with a
value equivalent to about $40O million
money that could be used in part to meet
our embassy and other official expenses
In India.
This b uSinesslike arrangement.
which would include safeguards against
any leSsening Of midas normal purchases
from countries like Burma and Australia,
is reported to be in the last stages Of
negotiation in New Delhi From the
standpoint Of the United States, 1t could
do much to ease the problem of SURPRISES
by paving the way for similar transactions
elsewhere. AS for the Indians, it would
give them supply of foodstuffs that they
could put in storage as kind Of insurance
against possible critical crop shortages in
the future. Everything considered, it has
all the earmarks Of deal that would pay
good dividends all around.

Moderation Prevails

Roy wilkins, spokesman for the
NAACP, says that the Republican plank
on civil rights and school desegregation
is thin shade stronger" than the plank
adopted by the Democrats. Perhaps he
is right. But as we read these carefully
phrased declarations, the difference be-
tween them is about on a par with the
difference between tweedledum and
tweedledee.
The Republican plank accepts" the
Supreme Courts decision that racial dis
elimination in the public schools must be
progressively" eliminated. The Republic
cans also concur" in the courts conclu-
sion that school desegregation should be
accomplished with all deliberate speed
locally through Federal district courts"
The plank decried resort to force or vio-
lence, and observed that progress must
be encouraged and the work of the courts
supported "in every legal manner by all
branches of the Federal Government"
The Democratic plank said that party
recognizes" the Supreme Court as one
OF the three branches of the Federal Gov
eminent, the decisions of which are part
of the law of the land" without specifi-
cally mentioning the school decision, it
said that the eradication of diScrimina-
ton requires Federal action" and went
on to say that the Democrats will con-
tinue to work for "full rights to education
IN all publicly supported institutions"
We cannot see any significant differ
ence between these two plankS. Both Of
them, in effect are designed to minimize
intraparty differences without, at the
same time, unnecessarily alternating Negro
voters. This approach may be condemned
as moderation" or, to use a word which
once was beyond the pale, "gradualism"
But 1t is an approach which makes much
more sense than would an irresponsible
bid for Negro votes based on reckless and
irredeemable promises. For experience
IN the more than two years since the
courts decision has shown, we think that
the race problem is not one which can be
solved by threats, force or demagoguery.
A solution is going to take time and pa
tient effort, and the plankS of both parties
reflect lively awareness that this is so.

Important Bridqe Project

The Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission is giving
special attention to the need for bridge
across the Potomac at Cabin John. The
commission is justified in stressing the
urgency of this project, for such a bridge
has taken on added importance as
result OF the decision of the Central IN
telligence Agency to build huge office
building near Langley, Virginia
A bridge near Cabin John has been
discussed by highway planners for many
years, but it generally was listed as some
thing to be seriously considered in the
distant future. The CHA decision has
brought a change in plans, however A
bridge at Cabin John would materially
relieve traffic congestion during morning
and AFTERNOON rush hours, since 1t would
provide convenient link between the
little Pentagon" and the Maryland shore.
Many CHA employees live in Montgomery
County or the District. Chain Bridge
does not have SUFFICIENT capacity to
handle the expected CHA traffic.
The Cabin John bridge also would
be vital part OF the proposed circum-
ferential highway around Washington.
This belt would cross the Potomac again
via the new Jones Point bridge at Alex
andria. This belt highway will be eligible
} for funds under the new interstate high
way program, for which Federal money
will be available on a 9-to-1 matching
basis. Thus, the Federal Government
could pay 80 per cent of the cost of a
bridge at Cabin John and of highways
serving it. This is bargain agreement
that is too good for Maryland-or any
juriSdiction-to overlook.

The infuriated stockholders
Of the Suez Canal Company
may be well advised to do
some sober second thinking
over Egypt's offer to pay the
current market price for their
holdings which most impartial
people would consider a fair
proposition.
But If Britain and France
should implement their war
like threats. there would be
an entirely different situation
and the offer would no longer
stand. AS, according to the
old adage. "all is fair in love
and war;" q principle Britain
has often acted upon to her
own aggrandizement. If Egypt
should win In a military con-
test or, losing. sabotage the
canal, the stockholders could
hardly expect to get anything
at all and, in addition to the
cost Of the war itself, other
commitments Of themselves
and allied investors would be
jeopardized.
1t is most pertinent in this
instance to ask: What price

The Best Plank Yet

The 1885 Democratic convention In
Philadelphia adopted resolution calling
Tor study and report ION granting to the
residents of the District of Columbia the
right of suffrage" But an effort to get
District suffrage plank in the platform
was defeated. Four years later, in 1910,
after being voted down twice in commit
tee, plank was inserted, following refer
ences to more self-government for Alaska,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico: I'VE also favor
the extension of the right of suffrage to
the people Of the District of Columbia"
In subsequent conventions both par
ties have included such planks. This
years Democratic convention in Chicago
picked up the same language from the
1852 platform: "We favor immediate
home rule and ultimate national repre-
sentation." The Republicans, in San
Francisco, have particularized bit more:
I'VE favor self-government national
suffrage and representation in the Con-
greSS OF the United States for residents
OF the District of Columbia" AS far as
planks go, that is the best one, and comes
nearest to spelling out what most people
here really want.
We have never thought that "home
rule" without representation in Congress
would accomplish any desirable results
for Washington, and might prove quite
the contrary Such representation is a
necessary part of government, for
Congress will always be the real govern
ment OF this Capital At any rate, If
platform pledges represent the beginnings
of national policy-and some Of them
have-we have at least reached the stage
when District suffrage plank is a fixture
instead of novelty in national platforms
and foreShadows coming events.

Time Marches On

One measurement of the changes in
our society may be found in the respective
receptions accorded Herbert Hoover and
Dwight D. Eisenhower in San Francisco
last night.
There was nothing contrived about
the warmth with which the convention
greeted Mr.. Hoover. And there was moth
ing artful about the deep emotions which
that greeting stirred in the former Presi-
dent.
For all of his 80 years, Mr.. Hoover
stood erect and spoke out firmly in behalf
Of those principles which have ever been
his guiding StarS-human liberty, free
dom of the individual, love of country and
faith in God. But as this Republican elder
statesman spoke on, as he sounded his
appeal to the delegates to restore the
foundations of right thinking" the strong
impression grew that Mr. Hoover had not
Kept abreast of the political tides, that
time had left him behind
Certainly the Republican Party to
which he spoke last night is a far cry
from the Republican Party of 1928. That
concept of rugged individualiSm" which
one associates with Mr.. Hoover is hardly
paid lip service in the platform of 1856.
Instead, it is platform which embraces
most If not all of the philosophy of the
New Deal-that political creed which Mr..
Hoover fought against so Staunchly, and
to so little avail, "a years ago.
And if Republican philosophy has
changed, so have the instruments for ex-
pressing the new philosophy. We do not
mean to suggest that Mr. Eisenhower is
less dedicated to the ideals of human
liberty, religious faith and devotion to
ones country. But he has recognized, as
Mr.. Hoover evidently has not, that these
broad principles alone cannot sustain a
political party in these changed times.
They must be accompanied by specific
programs which, by whatever name they
may be called, add up in substantial de-
gree to the paternalistic state.
One may be tempted, in nostalgia
moments, to deny that this is so. But the
denial cannot stand in the face of the
fervor of the crowds gathered to greet
President Eisenhower as he came into
San Francisco. He is the modern apostle
OF RepublicaniSm, he is its successful
salesman, and there will be no turning
back OF the clock as long as he is at hand
to speak for the party.

DR.. John Dimick, research
associate of the University
Museum. will be in charge Of
the restoration projects and

Edwin M. Shook, on loan from

Washington.
The first year will be de-
voted to setting up adequate
living and working conditions
and clearing paths to enable
Psychologists to select struc-

The difficulties are shown by
a report of one Of the last
Tikal visitors, DR.. Nelson S.
Knaggs Of the Cincinnati Mu-
scum of Natural History, in
the last journal of the Explor-
er'S Club:
still dripping from Is days
of continuous rain, the jungle
floor was a morass. While
many tropical rain forest floors
are fairly free of large plant
life, the jungle floor of the
Peten is covered with great
vines, lianas and creepers,
making progress slow and haz-
ardous. Wallowing belly deep
in the mud, our mules had
difficulty lifting their feet
which gave out loud reports as
they were released with effort
from the suction of the mud.
Monkeys Make q Racket
1.-THE twilight gloom of the
jungle accentuated the deep
forest silence. broken only oc-
casionally by the distant piping
of a bird. Halfway to Tikal
the oppressive silence suddenly
was shattered by a terrifying
roar. 1t sounded like a thou
sand attacking lions. We were
relieved to learn that we had
only encroached on bowler
monkey territory.
THE next day it was neces-
Sary to cut our way to the tree
covered ruins we could see
'rising out of the jungle. Tenn
pie No. 2, which we scaled
first. was overgrown with trees
of many types, the roots Of
which probed every crevice and
inexorably pried the massive
