interest in the restoration and care
of the restoration family burial
ground, which is located ON the
old (Thonas Davis farm in Cedar
Greek Hundred, several miles east
of Milford, on the road to Reho-

There will be a small sign at the
entrance of the lane to the farm,
which has been owned continuous
ly by descendants of Mark Davis,
born 1882, and son of Nehemiah

encourage similar form Of capitalism
in currently slave labor states
Zone out of twelve adult Americans
owns stock in an American corporation"
Mr.. Mcdonald told the steelworkers' con-
vention, land one out of twelve certainly
includes many members Of the steel
workers union Contrast this with
what exists in the communities of the
Communist countries. Perhaps one out
of twelve in the Soviet Union is political
prisoner, political slave"
The extent of labor ownership in
American industry has advanced sharply
in recent years, and on two fronts. In
numerous cases, the unions themselves
through their welfare and pension funds
have become big investors in stocks,
bonds and properties In many other
cases, as Mr.. Mcdonald points out, en-
ployeS have become regular purchasers of
stocks in their employer-companie or
through investment plans applying to
other companies. 1t may be true, as other
labor leaders contend, that this latter
participation does not affect controlling
ownership 1t seems reasonable to as
sumo, however, that in the long run 1t
leads toward a greater mutual interest
and understanding between labor and
management.

Ladies and Potatoes

There must be something about
ladies and potatoes that just doesn't mix
well. Two hundred ladies whose hus-
bands grow potatoes in some of our
Northeast States have been giving the
Department of Agriculture a bad time
because current prices for their spudS
have dropped as low as 81 per 100 pounds.
But only couple of months ago lot of
other ladies who do the family marketing
were refusing to buy potatoes because the
retail price had reached a record high
level-high enough so the lady potato
growers then were receiving Sc per 100
pounds. And all the time there are many
other ladies who just will not eat po-
tatoeS because of their waistline effect
state Of affairs reflected in Agriculture
Department statistics showing that potato
consumption per person in the United
States has dropped by so per cent since
1910.
At various times the department
probably has worried quietly about all of
these facets of the lady versus potato
problem. Whether under Republican or
Democratic administration, the depart
ment undoubtedly would like situation
where the potato growers get fair price,
the potato buyers find potatoes retailing
at reasonable price and the potato
eaters just bring good healthy appetite
to the table. This would, of course, be
sort of potatolike paradise-perhaps
too much to ask. It was not so long ago
that the department was buying potatoes
and dyeing them purple to see that no.
body ate them. This was known as part
OF the Fair Deal and cost lot of money.
1t made some people unhappy. Even now
the department is buying the less elite
potatoes and taking them of the grocery
counters. This costs money, but less so,
and Still makes some people unhappy.
The potato, by itself, is an inoffensive
sort OF tuber. 1t is Just too bad it has to
be involved in so much trouble. Perhaps
there just isn't enough gravy to go
around.

We Are Out of Step

We are glad to learn that Washington
is out of step with the remainder of the
country in one respect. According to the
Semiannual FBI crime tabulation, our
crime trend is downward, while that for
the Nation as whole is upward. This is
encouraging to the citizens of commu-
nifty which, in past years, has been
depicted as soft spot" for criminals.
And it provides evidence of the effective
ness Of Washington's accelerated law
enforcement program.
The local decline of crime is par
ticularly gratifying in view of the fact
that lawleSSnesS nationally has taken
sharp climb to record limits. The mid
year report shows that major offenSes
rose 14.4 per cent throughout the country
during the first six months of this year.
Here, however, the number of serious
crimes declined nearly 2 per cent. At the
same time, the Districts penal institu-
lions were bullying with prisoners-proof
that yokers, holdup men, burglars, sex
f1endS and other criminals were waging
a losing contest with a strengthened
police force, backed by sterner proSecu-
ton and judicial policies
Police Chief Murray has reason to be
especially proud of the high standing
which his force enjoys with respect to
crime case clearances. Whereas the
national average of clearance was 28.4
per cent, the local department solved 55.7
per cent of the serious cases. The local
rate of conviction for most felonieS, in
GLIDING murder, rape, robbery, burglary,
larceny and automobile theft, was well
above the national rate.
The only areas on the crime picture
in which Washington Jagged were those
involving conviction for negligent man
slaughter, negligent homicide and ag-
gravated assault. Convictions in those
categories were substantially under the
average for other large cities. The rea-
son for this disparity is not clear. A
study Of this situation by the Washington
Criminal Justice Association or similar
group might prove worthwhile.

Nixon, Now and Then

I am amused to hear Vice
President Nixon complain that
Senator Kefauver is indulging
in the use of innuendoes. Mr..
Nixon is far more experienced
in that field. If Senator
Kefauver's attack was vicious.
I am at a loss for words to
describe the following quota
ton taken from Nixon's 1854
speech in Cheyenne, Wyo.
1T is time to talk frankly
and bluntly about the most
sinister element Of this cam
paign to date. Why is the
Communist Party of the United
States fighting SO desperately
and openly for the defeat of
the Republican candidates !.
for the election Of an anti
Eisenhower CongreSs?"
Does a quotation such at this
befit a man holding the second
highest Office in our Nation?
In 1852. the American Polit-
ical Science Association, a
nonpartisan group. rated Nixon
as seventy-first in excel
lence of the ninety-six Sena-
tors. Can we afford to dip
into the lower third Of the
Senate for a Vice President,
especially when the choice is
SO vitality important to the
Nation?

Appeosing Peron

Adlai Stevenson's charge that the
Eisenhower administration "chose to ap-
pease" Juan Peron, the ousted Argentine
dictator, is bit battling, to say the least.
Just what was Mr.. Stevenson trying
to accomplish? When last heard from,
about month ago, Peron was heading
for political asylum in Venezuela. Po-
litically, he is dead duck, and certainly
no issue in our own 1856 political cam
paign. So why did Mr.. Stevenson dredge
him up as the main theme Of his Miami
address?
He says that we, meaning the EiSen-
hover administration, made loans to
Peron while the latter was piling up
big bank balances in Switzerland for his
own use. Peron may have piled up the
bank balances before he was overthrown
year ago, but it is not true, according
to Secretary Dulles that the Eisenhower
administration made any loans to the
Peron regime. Instead, Mr. Dulles says,
the preceding Democratic administration
made upwards of 500 million in loan
agreements with the Peron government.
Mr. Stevenson also said that "a mem
Der of the Presidents personal family"
had assumed special, if informal, re-
sponsibility for our relationships with
Argentina" This reference was to the
Presidents brother, DR.. Milton Eisen-
hover, who has done some excellent work
in improving our relations with our
neighborS to the south. Mr.. Stevenson
did not cite anything that DR.. Eisenhower
had done in connection with our relations
with Peron. Instead, he was content to
link him, by innuendo, to the discredited
dictator This has all the earmarks of
the smear technique, and we cannot
understand why Mr.. Stevenson saw At
to inject it into the campaign
Presumably he was not inviting COM
parsons, for it was with large though
unattended assist from Democratic adj
ministration, some 10 years ago, that
Peron rose to power in Argentina. That
was the period when we were trying to
influence an Argentine election-an
attempt which backfired and undoubtedly
helped Peron. We do not know of any
thing done by the Eisenhower adminiStra-
ton, Intentionally or otherwise, which
had comparable effect. If Mr. Steven
son does know of something, if he has
anything which supports his appeasement
accusation, he ought to tell us what it is.
If not he would do well to drop this

ancholy reflections in his Venezuelan

Interstate Authority

It is becoming evident that proposals
to enlarge the powers of the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac River Basin
may run into States Rights difficulties.
There are increasing indications that at
least some parties to the interstate anti
pollution compact will object to any reg
ulatory powers for the commission that
would impinge on the authority of estab-
lished State water-control agencies. It
would be unfortunate, however, If any
serious diScord should develop among
commission members, for unity is prere-
quisite to an effective pollution abate-
ment program for the Potomac valley.
The movement to clothe the Inter-
state Commission with greater authority
gained impetus recently at the Southern
Governors Conference. Governors of sew
eral of the States in the Potomac River
compact agreed at the conference that
some expansion of the commissions au-
thority is necessary If the work of clean
ing up the Potomac River is to make
further progress. There were no detailed
recommendations, however, as to the
scope Of an extension of powers.
The Governors action was noted
last week at the meeting of the Inter-
state Commission at Oakland, Maryland.
Chairman Rogers of the commission APP
pointed a committee to study the problem
OF strengthening the commission, as sug-
gested by the Governors. Up to now the
commission has had only advisory and
educational powers and very little
money with which to advise or educate.
The enforcement of antipollution meas
ures has been the job of such State agen-
cies as the Virginia Water Control Board
"a very active and effective regulatory
body-and the Maryland Water Pollution
Control Commission. These agencies may
be expected to resist any transfer of their
powers to an interstate group.
A less controversial suggestion is that
the commission be given funds and more
authority to chart an overall master
plan" for eliminating raw sewage, silt and
industrial wastes from the river Lack of
such a plan has hampered States and
communities along the Potomac from CO.
ordinating their antipollution measures.
If the commission is strengthened only
enough to accomplish such overall PLAN
ming, an essential public service win have
been performed.

netic material and the like. If
the surface Of the planet were
perfectly smooth, the two
poles would be identical.
The same holds true, also,
DR.. McNish points out, for the
two equators--the geographical
equator and the temperature
equator. IN theory, II the
earth were perfectly smooth
and atmospheric conditions
entirely euuable. the maximum
temperature belt Of the earth
would follow the geographic
equator. It doesn't. as is we'll
known. This is due to local
terrestrial variations.
Only the dip Pole"
The situation in the Ant
arctic is approximately the
same with the supposed mag
netic pole. located in the mid
die Of Victoria Land, now
recognized as only the dip
pole" So far as known, nobody
ever has visited the actual
south magnetic pole. but its
precise point can be calcu-
lated from the position Of the
north magnetic pole.
A major effort during the
coming International Geo.
physical Year will be made to
clear up the highly complex
field Of the earth's magnetism,
with observing stations quite
close to all four poles. It now
is recognized that the appar-
ent magnetic field Of the earth
that designated by compass
needles and until recently the
basis Of much Of navigation
has shifted markedly during
geological time due to in
fiuences not yet clearly under
stood.
The actual shifting Of the
north magnetic dip pole"
first was observed by Canadian
flyers over the Arctic q few
years ago and it now is rec
ognized that no actual mathe-
NAUTICAL point can be desig-
mated. From time to time the
needle may point straight
downward almost anywhere
within the general Ellesmere
Land area. depending on largely
unexplained shifts in local
conditions. But it is highly
unlikely there ever will be any
shift in the position Of the
true magnetic pole to which
cosmic particles are attracted.
