New Lobby Probe

1t Is gratifying that the Senate Is
determined to conduct an expanded in
vestigation of lobbying pressures. We
hope, however, that the usefulness OF this
inquiry is not going to be dissipated by
scatter-gun tactics.
Majority Leader Johnson Is quoted
as saying that the investigation will
"cover the waterfront" Chairman Bridges
of the COP Policy Committee indicates
that members of his party want the
probe to cover everything, including the
Americans for Democratic Action, union
lobbying, foreign countries and vne ex-
ecutive establishment.
The danger here is that the trees Will
obscure the forest The disclosures which
have come out of the investigation of
lobbying in connection with the natural
gas bill reveal need for thorough
INQUIRY. 1t is desirable in an election
year that this be done by bipartisan
committee But 1t is to be hoped that the
committee will exercise some discretion,
and will stick to the area outlined In
the Joint observation-disclosures to infiu-
ence Senators improperly or Illegally"
If the committee is going to 60 march
ing off in all directions, the chances are
that such real evils as may exist Will be
buried under mass of essentially irrel-
evant and unimportant election-year
maneuverS.

Strained RuIinq

The Pennsylvania State Labor and
Industry Department appears to- have
strained hard to make ruling favorable
to the Westinghouse strikers. 1t has de-
cided that the strike Of AFL-CIO cleo
trical workers which began last october
is now lockout" and that strikers In
that State are entitled to unemployment
compensation. AS justification for the
ruling, the State agency cites the conf
pany's refusal In December to submit the
dispute to arbitration. BY contrast, the
Ohio Bureau Of Employment Compensa-
ton has reaffirmed an earlier ruling that
the work stoppage resulted from "a labor
dispute" and that the strikers are not
entitled to iobless pay. No other State
having Westinghouse plants has found
the stoppage to be lockout.
The prolonged Westinghouse shut
down has been costly, both to company
and union treasures, to employees and to
the stockholders. The union is asking
for adjustments applicable only to the
second half of an existing two-year con-
tract. The company has~proposed, and

Factors in the Defeat

Arl1ngton'S rejection OF $9.4 million
school bond issue in yesterdays refer
endum cannot fairly be regarded as an
indication that the county is not inter-
ested in improving its school system. The
citizens there have always responded
readily with votes and money when con-
WINGED Of the need for new bond issues
for schools or other worthy purposes.
Two factors probably had more to do
with the defeat of the bond plan than
anything else: ~ The cost and scope
Of the School Boards latest program. (2)
The unfortunate timing Of the refer
endum.
The Arlington Chamber of Com
merce and apparently majority of prop
erty owners were not adequately sold"
by the School Board on the urgency Of
the need for such heavy borrowing at
this time for school system on which
$40 million from recent bond issues al
ready has been spent. Some Of the lead
ing critics of the plan had indicated they
would not have objected to smaller
bond issue covering needs of the imme-
date future.
The bad timing resulted in stimuli
taneous balloting by. the citizens on both
the bond issue and the election Of Airing
tons delegate to the Gray plan conven-
ton. It was inevitable that some voters
tended to associate the school construc-
ton plan with the Gray proposal, inte-
grafton and, perhaps, the allied contro-
versy over Arlington's elected School
Board. Certainly the defeat Of the bond
issue Is a severe setback to the School
Board. But Arlington once before re-
jected a large bond issue for schools and
then, q few, months later, overwhelmingly
approved q more modest spending pro-
gram. 1t could happen again.

Woshinqton's Farewell

Today, in each house of Congress, a
member will read George Washington's
Farewell Address. in which our first Presi-
dent, then Ga, announced his decision to
retire to private life. The address has a
particular poignancy and relevance at a
time when our foremost soldier-citizen
has absented himself from the Capital to
search his soul in regard to similar
decision. II President Eisenhower in his
Georgia retreat were to peruse President
Washington's Stiff-jointed but states
manlike lines, he would find high-minded
guidance for either choice.
Here is Washington telling his fellow
citizens how devoutly, four years before,
he had wished to retire to Mount Vernon,
when prevailed upon to stand for second
term:
The strength of my inclination to do
this previous to the last election had even
led to the preparation Of an address to de-
clare 1t to you: but mature reflection on the
then perplexed and critical posture Of our
affairs with foreign nations and the unani-
NOUS advice of persons entitled to my conf
dence impelled me to abandon the idea.
If President Eisenhower is Arm in his

sentiments that would do any dutiful

the pursuit Of inclination incompatible with
the sentiment Of duty or propriety. and am
persuaded. If Partially may be retained for
my services that in the present circumstances
of our country you will not disapprove my
determination to retire. Satisfied that II
any circumstances have given peculiar value
to my services they were temporary. have
the consolation to believe that while choice
and prudence invite me to quit the political
scene. patriotism does not forbid It.
30 while George Washington's fare
well provides precedent for either action,
Mr.. Eisenhower's decision, as he has so
often said, remains his and his alone.
