President Eisenhower has
asked Congress for an additional
$68. 043 900 for the Civil Aero
nautics Administration to speed
up development of a five-year
air trafiic safety program.
This stepup in the program
! is aimed at meeting the in
creased use of commercial Jet
transports in the immediate fu-
ture.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said the deci-
sion to speed up the program
was not related directly to the
collision Of two airliners over
the Grand Canyon recently, al
though that accident emphasized
the need for increased air traf-
f1c safety facilities. 81

Sergeant Slain
BY ) on Cyprus

NICOSIA. Cyprus, July 10 (P).
"A Royal Air Force sergeant
was shot dead by three masked
men yesterday while he was
visiting a pretty Greek Cypriot
woman on the outskirts Of Nj
COSTA.
The victim was only partly
clothed when the three gunner
entered the house and opened
fire.
Investigators were unsure
whether it was a crime of passion
or the work Of anti-British Greek
Cypriot extremists.
Police detained the girl, curry,
dark-haired Nitsa Georghiou,
after finding a photograph of
her in Greek Army uniform.
Delving into the background
of the 25-year-old girl. they
found she had suspected strong
Greek Nationalist sympathies,
and visited Greece last March
for Independence Day Celebra-
tions.
The name of the sergeant was
not released.
On the political front, Lord
Radcliffe said last night he came
to Cyprus to draw up recon-
mendationS for a constitution
and his mission did not depend
on negotiating with anyone.
The British law expert gave
that explanation in the face of
widespread refusal by Greek
CypriotS to consult with him.
Lord Radcliffe arrived last Sat-
urday for a fact finding survey.
Since his arrival, Greek Cypriots
have advised him the only per-
son who can negotiate is their
exiled leader, Archbishop Ma
karios, who was deported last
March to the Seychelles Islands
in the Indian Ocean.

Here's Hoping

Mr. Truman fought ferocious battle
with straw man of his own making last
week The straw man was the charge,
put forward by Mr.. Truman, that the Vice
President had called him traitor At
one point MIR. Truman even marched to
the brink of fisticuffs At least, he said
he didn't want to meet Mr.. Nixon for fear
that he might punch the Vice President
II their paths should cross.
Now, happily, things have ,simmered
down bit. Mr.. Nixon ignored Mr.. Tru-
man. Republican Chairman Hall tried,
without success, to find out from Mr..
Truman when and where Mr.. Nixon called
him traitor. Mr. Truman didn't get down
to cases because, while he has been called
many things, no one would call him a
traitor. Finally, the former President
withdrew into kind of brooding silence.
Il have no further comment" he declared.
Let's hope that this proves to be the
case For the political campaign of 1856
Is going to be heated enough, and ugly
enough, without torturing Interpretation
to discover charges that were never made.

Japan'S top policy-makerS delivered
two significant, and very similar, speeches
In the Tokyo Diet last week The speak
ers were Prime Minister Hatoyama and
Foreign Minister Shigemitsu. In sum-
mary, they said the following: ~ That
continued cooperation with the United
States and the Western democracies will
be keynote Of Japan's foreign policy,
(2) that every effort will be made to
suppress Communist infiltration at home,
(3) that efforts will continue to agree on
. peace treaty with Soviet Russia, but
not at the cost Of giving up Japan's
claims for island territories now held by
the Russians, and a. that while trade
may be increased with Red China, diplo-
matte recognition obviously cannot" be
granted while Tokyo recognizes Nation
alist China.
The meaning of these declarations,
In short, is that Japan of growing in
dependence and strength intends to re-
main in its role of friend and ally of the
free nations. There were predictions to
the contrary when Japans application
for membership in the United Nations
was vetoed by Soviet Russia in retaliation
for Nationalist China's veto of Outer
Mongolia. One prediction was that
Japan would turn to a sort of wounded
neutraliSm. Another was that Japan
would turn against the United States for
our failure to dissuade Nationalist China
from its action. Actually, it is not sur
prising that Japan is doing neither. Mr..
Hatoyama and Mr.. Shigemitsu have OBJ
served the course of Communist policies
In the Far East in the postwar decade.
They are aware that association with
Soviet Russia or casual acceptance Of
communism as a domestic force can
exact high price in terms of political
and economic freedom. Quite logically,
Japan looks forward to the time when
American security forces will not be
needed in the country and its economy
will be more self-sufacient. AS the best
approach to those detectives, the nations
leaders wisely prefer to stick to their
present course.

ment: 1T would seem the part

Temperate Man

Adlai Stevenson has hitched his
wagon to star that is far removed from
the hurly-burly of partisan politics.
To a Fresno audience, he said: II
say to you frankly that don't intend to
take positions which would reduce my
effectiveness as President-regardless Of
the cost in votes" And as If this were not
enough, he went on to recall to his Cali
fornia listeners the words of st. Paul to
the Corinthians: And every man that
striveth for the mastery is temperate in
all things"
MIR. Stevenson meant that he is not
going to be pushed into all positions which
other Democrats may urge him to take.
He thinks that any one who would be
President must preserve the responsibility
and perspective of the Office. He believes
that the right answers to most of today'S
hard problems do not lie at the extremes:
they must be sought by temperate man
endowed with sense of restraint and
responsibility. In short, he was saying
that while he is no believer In half
measures, he does have distaste for that
brand of demagoguery which is most
often found in the all black or all white
school of politics.
This is high political ground, and 1t
will not be easy to hold it. For example,
the echoes of the Stevenson speech had
hardly died away before some influential
California Negroes announced that they
were swapping their Stevenson buttons
for Kefauver buttons. 1t seems that the
Tennessee Senator had made statements
onscivil rights at closed meeting which
were very much to the liking of the Cali
fornia NAACP. Obviously, the heat was
being put on Mr. Stevenson, and there
viii be lot more of the same before the
Democrats finally pick their candidate.
1t will be very much to the credit of
Mr.. Stevenson II he stands his ground

Red Cross Helpers

The Red Cross is again send
ing out an urgent appeal for
volunteer workers. We usually
think of women doing volunteer
welfare work. rather than men,
when there are many men very
we'll fitted for this work, tech
nically and emotionally. and
who because of their sex are
often better suited to working
with men. This work generates
a great deal OF comfort, sat-
isfaction and happiness, to the
dp'er as well as the receiver,
and is a great assist on the
rocky road to heaven. It would
be a delinquency deterrent for
men Of all ages--men are not
as resourceful in leisure time
occupation as women, and who
so often get into trouble
through lack of something to
do, Retired men, especially,
have long years of experience
In skills through which they
could contribute much to the
help of others, and it. would
turn their boredom into zest-
full living again.
1t would be an excellent idea
to start mems volunteer hu-
man welfare corps. for men
and boys Of all ages. The Star
has done such wonderful, Won
derful work in advancing
human welfare, through its
press crusades and campaigns
for better living, 1t could very
well do another valuable work
in this field.

Soviet Sweep

An American Olympic Games official
has summed up the just-concluded winter
test as one of superior performances" by
athletes out of This world" That this
was no exaggeration is attested by the
scores of records which fell in the 10 days
of competition in Italy's Dolomite Alps.
And showing the way by clear margin
were the entries of Soviet Russia, repre-
sented for the first time in the winter
games, with an unofficial team total OF
121 points and six flrst-place medals.
Only In figure skating did the United
States produce individual winners, two,
and the American team total of 54I2
points was good enough only for sixth
place.
Actually, the Soviet performance was
not completely unexpected. Two years
ago, Russian speed skaters ventured into
international competition In games in
Japan-giving sound trouncing then to
Norways Olympic champions of 1852. A
fortnight later, Russian skiers and Red
clad hockey team appeared in Switzerland
to register equally convincing triumphs-
the hockey team topping Canada then

at Cortina. The Kremlin may find some
political significance or propaganda val
ue in these Russian victories. But coaches
and athletes will see the answer in the
effort put forth by the Russians in prac-
tice and training. They won this winters
games because they worked harder and
longer. Many believe they will repeat
their victory in the track and field games
in Australia later this year.
The winter games were staged with
out any major unpleasant incident. And
one may indorse the hope Of Avery Brun-
dage, American president of the Interna-
tional Olympic Committee, that the poll
ticians of the world will adopt the same
principles of fair play and good sports
manship that prevail in the Olympic
movement"

Skull and Bones Stuff

Randolph Carlson deserves
credit for digging up the date
when Della Bacon tried to dig
up Shakespeare. Anyone who
wants a good literary who
didn't-dun-it should read Haw-
thorne's fascinating account OF
this lady in Our Old Home,
Recollections of a Gifted
Woman" where he tells the
whole story. The clerk and the
vicar of Holy Trinity Church
in Stratford finally gave per-
mission for her to open the
grave OF the great man. but
it would have to be at night.
And then they spied on the
poor lady, cropping her way
with a dark lantern, peering
down at the awful stone with
the immortal curse upon it.
She couldn't do 1t. She never
did. 1t got her. Three years
later, the Mayor of Stratford
wrote to Hawthorne and told
him that poor Miss Bacon was
afflicted with insanity. She
died there in a madhouse, in
1859.
I can't wait to see how this
writer Hoffman makes out.
His publisher says he's going
to dig up Walsingham before
the middle of February, and
lis keying some major promo
ton of the book to the tomb
opening which is certain
to receive worldwide coverage
in all news media"
How Shakespeare would love
to be there, being a great
skull-and-bone man himself!
And what a scene he could
write about It!
