In Kansas she once tried to

Kneeling on the sidewalk out

His second conviction and

Fire Prevention Week
Inspections Arranged

The District Fire Department
will observe Fire Prevention
Week beginning tomorrow, with
a door-to-door canvass offering
residents inspection of homes
and businesses for elimination
of fire hazards.
Engine companies will be on
the streets from Monday through
Friday, from $3.50 am. to noon
and from / pm. to 3 pm.
Fire Chief M. H. Sutton said
the canvass would not disrupt or
impair the departments fire
fighting efforts. He said the en-
CINE companies are equipped
with radio gear which will per-
NIT dispatching them from the
street.
Meanwhile. 5000 Washington
sixth-graders are being asked to
make inspections of their homes
during Fire Prevention Week,
for elimination of fire hazards.
Chief Sutton, aided by the
Washington Junior Chamber of
Commerce and the District AS
ISOLATION of Insurance Agents,
is sending letters to all sixth
graders in public. private and
|parochial schools in the District.
1.-The letter includes an inspec..
ton FORM" Chief Sutton ex-
planned. After the schoolboy
or girl makes the inspection, the
form is signed by parent and
returned by the child to his or
her teacher and then forwarded
Ito u.s."
Completion of the form en-
rolls the sixth grader in the
Washington Junior Firefighters.
Chief Sutton urged all Dis
trict homeowners and businesses
to inspect heating plant areas
for fire hazards. He pointed out
that persons or firms wishing
such inspections by members of
the District Fire Department
need only to fill out and mail the
accompanying form to Fire De-
Ipartment Headquarters. Fourth

Judge Stedman Prescott thoroughly
deserves the promotion which has come
to him with his elevation to Maryland's
highest judicial tribunal, the State Court
of Appeals Judge Prescott will bring to
the court an invaluable experience in the
field of jurisprudence covering many
years in the lower courts, both as
attorney and as iurist.
A native of Montgomery County, he
has played leading part there in civic
affairs generally and public life particu-
larly. AS States attorney he proved to
be vigorous prosecutor, feared by the
criminal element and respected by his
fellow citizens. Later, as State senator,
he came to Statewide attention for his
effective championship of legislation
which he believed to be in the interest
of the public at large and of his own
constituents He was elected, when only
AZ, to l5-year term as judge of the
Sixth Judicial Circuit, embracing Mont
gomery and Frederick Counties.
He was chief judge of the circuit
when Governor McKeldin named him to
the supreme court of Maryland. This

and Judge Prescott Democrat, and once

Merit System Facts

Civil Service Commissioner Philip
Young has cited some persuasive facts
to counter Democratic criticism of Repub-
l1can administration of the civil service.
Most of the attacks so far have been of
general nature-chargeS of favoritiSm,
political patronage and other inroads on
the career system. The figures and other
data given by Mr.. Young in memoran-
dunn to President Eisenhower paint a
quite different picture, however.
Speaking of inroads on the career
system in Government. Mr. Young
pointed out that when the Republicans
in 1882 lost control of the executive
branch 80 per cent of all Federal employees
were under the competitive civil service
system. BY 1884 the ratio had dropped
to 81 per cent and by 1886 the percentage
under the merit system was only go.
After that the percentage began to rise
again and by the time the Eisenhower
administration took over the Government
In 1858 about "a per cent of Federal
employees were under civil service. The
figure has risen to IS per cent today.
Mr.. Young defended the right of any
administration, on coming into power,
to choose its own executives for policy
making jobs. But he stressed that the
vast majority of employees remain pro-
tected by civil service safeguards. And
100000 temporary-indefnite employees
have been brought into the permanent
career service, after properly qualifying.
This has made for more stable Federal
establishment, one in which the annual
turnover has dropped from 26 per cent
in 1858 to IA per cent today. The Young
memorandum indicates that the merit
system is standing up very well, despite
the professed fears of some political
orators.

Walter Koriq

Seldom has Washington seen a news
paperman with such varied talents and
interests as those which distinguished
Walter Karig. His burial in Arlington
National Cemetery yesterday marked the
end OF but one phase of his colorful
career-his naval service in World War
II and the Korean conflict. But, even
while serving in uniform, Captain Karig
always was newspaperman at heart.
He loved to write and he wrote with a
flne flair for trenchant phraseology that
drew and held attention.
Indeed, 1t was his journalistic Prov
ess which led the late Navy Secretary
Knox to commission him for special
duties in the Office of Public Relations
early in World War H. In the course
of his assignment as head Of the book
and magazine section Captain Karig
became especially interested in a vast
accumulation Of official records detailing
naval battles in the Pacific. He was given
the job, after the war. of delying through
these records and preparing a series OF
officially designated Battle Reports"
covering most Of the major achievements
OF the Navy in the war against Japan
The Battle Reports were written in pop
ular, journalistic style, with emphasis on
the human-interest angles OF naval war
fare. The series left the more definitive
details OF tactics and strategy to other

Third Force in Europe

There certainly is a connection be-
tween the Suez Canal issue and the revival
Of interest in European third force
political and economic strengthening Of
the Western European Union
The suggestion that this is so seemed
clear in Secretary Dulles original re-
marks at his Tuesday press conference.
He said then that there is some difference
In our approach and that of the French
and British to the Suez problem. He also
said that this difference relates perhaps
to some fundamental things, and among
these he included the so-called problem
of colonialiSm. With respect to this, he
said, the United States plays somewhat
independent role.
Mr.. Dulles tried later on to soften
the impact of these remarks. His press
conference transcript was amended to put
the policy difference on the Suez question
in the past tense, to eliminate the refer
ence to the fundamental nature of the
difference, and to divorce the Suez ques-
ton from the colonial issue. In our view,
this was diplomatic retreat. The differ
ence does exist, the issue in a sense is
fundamental, and the colonial question
plays its part
1t would be better for all concerned
if the facts were faced Squarely. One of
these facts is that a strengthening of
the Western European Union would be
a desirable development. Mr.. Dulles has
said as much in the past, and he repeated
1t Tuesday. If Britain were to join the
otherS-France, West Germany, Italy, the
Netherlands. Belgium and Luxembourg
in workable trade and political associa-
ton, real third force" might come into
being. And this third force, as West Ger
many'S Chancellor Adenauer has said,
could serve as balancing factor between
the power units headed up by the United
States and Russia. AS yet, this third
force is pretty much of a CLEAN in the
eye. But the possibility is there, and its
realization need not entail any weakening
OF the Western front against the threat of
Communist aggression.
At the same time, the emergence of
such European bloc need not be incon-
SiStent with Mr.. Dulles original thesis.
He was right the first time when he said
that the United States, with respect to
such problems as colonialism, plays
somewhat independent role Certainly
this country, on such an issue, can hardly
take sides either with the colonial powers
or with countries that are demanding full
independence now. If we can play any
useful part in that contest, it is to facili-
tate and assist an orderly and gradual
solution. AS an avowed partisan on either
side of the question, we could accomplish
little or nothing. But the emergence of
European third force" confederation
not so dependent on the United States,
might provide some room for effective
mediation.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Presidents Activity Sparks Party Fight
By GOULD LINCOLN

MADISON, Wis.-President
Eisenhower has given the Re-
publican campaign, which for
weeks has been dragging its
feet, a much needed shot in the
arm in this Midwest country
as well as i'll other parts of the
Nation. He has emerged once
again a hard fighting, full
time campaigner.
Also the Presidents stepped
up participation in the battle
for the presidency and control
Of the next Congress has served
to answer effectively three
criticisms leveled at him by
Adlai Stevenson, Senator Ke-
fauver and former President
Harry S. Truman. First, that
he is handicapped by health;
second, that he is a part time
President: and third. that he
is no leader but is a captive of
the men who surround him.
In addition, the President is
now showing that the Demo-
cratic-controlled 84th Con-
gress is in reality responsible
for the failure of much needed
school legislation, for amend
ments of the Taft-Hartley
labor law, and for more civil
rights legislation.
The Democratic spokesman
have tried to lay these failures
at Eisenhower's door. But it
is obvious that responsibility
rests on the Democratic-con-
trolled Senate and House
committees, and on the Dem
ocratic majorities in both
Houses of Congress.
Attacks Have Had Effect
The constant reiteration of
the charges brought against
Eisenhower and the admin
istration by Stevenson, Ke-
fauver and Truman have had
some effect-as shown in con-
versations with clerks, indus
trial workers, farmers, taxi
drivers and business men.
Many of them. while admit
ting they like Ike" have ex-
pressed fears that the Presi-
dent is no longer in control of
his own administration; that
he himself does not make the
decisions that are the re-
sponsibility of the Chief Exec
utive, and him alone, under
our system of Government.
The President, by his cam
paigning, is brushing a lot of
this criticism under the table.
Suggestions have been made
and published-that the
voters are not interested in this
campaign, that too many are
apathetic. Nothing is further
from the fact. And while a
very considerable number are
not saying how they will vote,
it is obvious they intend to go
to the polls.
There is a very large num-
Der of independent voters who
wear party collars lightly if
they wear them at all.
This is the vote which was
cast in large numbers for Eli
senhower in 1852. 1t is the
vote which. in all probability.

Legal Paradox

II laymen are confused by the latest
decision in the protracted litigation over
the fatal Eastern Airlines crash here
nearly seven years ago. it is understand
able. Even one member of three-judge
appellate tribunal cannot understand the
reasoning of his colleagues in their denial
of EaStern'S appeal for new trial. The
majority has ruled that a lower court
Judgment against the airline must stand.
judicial anomaly thus has been pre-
scented.
The important caSe-regarded as a
test on which many similar claims against
Eastern will rest-grew out of a collision
over National Airport of an Eastern air
liner and fighter plane piloted by
Bolivian air force officer. The fighter
craft sliced the airliner in two as both
planes were about to land at the airport.
All SIS persons aboard the airliner were
killed.
The anomalous situation now is that
both Eastern Airlines and the Federal
Government have been held accountable
for the collision-the airline company be-
cause it landed without clearance from
the CAA tower and the Government De
cause the tower cleared both the alrliner
and the fighter plane to land at the same
time on the same runway. (The Bolivian
was cleared of blame by the lower court.)
Judges Edgerton and Fahy of the United
States Court Of Appeals held the lower
court verdict against the airline was mot
so clearly against the weight of evidence
or so plainly the result of passion, preiu-
dice and sympathy, or otherwise so unjust
that the trial judge can be said to have
abused his discretion in refusing to grant
new trial" But Appellate Judge Wilbur
K. Miller disagreed, contending in a dis
Senting opinion that the lower court judg-
ment was "hagrantly against the great
weight Of the evidence" and that grave
injustice will flow from it,
Judge Miller stressed that "the only
substantial basis for attributing negli-
gence to the stricken airliner is the charge
that it had not been cleared to land
and had negligently placed itself in the
path of danger" Yet the tower operator
testified that he did give clearance to the
liner The only testimony tending to
throw doubt on the clearance angle came
from the pilot of another airliner in the
vicinity. He said he did not hear the
clearance announcement. Judge Miller
attributed the astonishing" Jury verdict
in favor Of the Bolivian pilot to emotion
rather than evidence"
As Judge Miller pointed out, the
Supreme Court, in earlier affirming a
judgment against the Government, has
stamped approval on the finding that
the Eastern plane was cleared to land"
along with the fighter plane. Yet the
new appellate ruling apparently is based
on the assumption that no clearance was
granted the airliner. This is a legal
paradox, TO say the least.
