Puerto Rico Is Showcase
For Study Of Democracy

simply, What I learn here, We
can apply at home"
A visitor from India said
Puerto Rico's success or failure
is of first Importance TO mil
lions living in underdeveloped
areas throughout the world"
Gov. Munoz Marin was the
first to recognize Puerto Rico's
qualifications for its unique
role in worldwide technical
cooperation. For more than a
decade before 1850. this self
verning Commonwealth
whose people are United States
citizens, had well-conceived
economic development pro-
gram.
The Governor knew that
conditions of climate, of dis
ease, poverty. malnutrition.

is the basis of the islands

The means of pulling itself up
from poverty and backward
ness are explained by Gov.
Munoz Marin with these words:
We are neither radical nor
conservative. We are merely
realistic.
Since 1850, when it launched
the program with $4,000,
Puerto Rico has appropriated
$4,000 year in addition to
providing personnel and lab
oratory and other facilities.
The United States has invested

nists have been unable to neu-
tralize the experiences of the
hundreds of technical assist

On Transit
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

One possible solution of
Washington's transit crisis
which would take Congress on
a most embarrassing hook
was suggested a few days ago
by Engineer Commissioner
Thomas A. Lane.
The idea rests on the Public
Utilities Commissions asserted
power to authorize any would
be transit operator to run q
mass transportation system in
Washington by issuing a per
nit"
So far, nobody has been
much impressed with that
thought. Every group The
commission talked with in
hunting for a new operator to
take over the Capital Transit
Company franchise wanted the
greater assurance of a "legis-
lative franchise" from Con-
gress. Getting the permit was
regarded as only the first step
in getting the franchise.
Generally, the thinking was
that any new operator faced
the problem Of raising new
capital from investors and that

The Tydings-M ahoney cam
paign in Maryland seems to
be a race to see who can wear
out the most pairs of shoes.
Both candidates are spend
ing virtually all of their time
shoe-leathering. That's the
term being applied to the cam
paign technique of getting out
and meeting voters face to face
and soliciting their support.
In this type of campaign
ing, fatigue frequently becomes
the candidates biggest enemy.
And because he has to move
fast if his shoe-leathering is
going to cover enough ground
to help him, the candidate has
practically no time to discuss
issues or feel the public pulse.
All he can do is shake hands,
pat backs, kiss babies, pass out
cards and keep moving.
The Kefouver Technique
On the national level, the
greatest exponent OF shoe
leathering Is Senator Kefauver.
In Maryland. George P. Ma
honey has made shoe Leather
ing his byword. He has used
it with great success in his
four previous Statewide cam
paigns.
One of his hackers boosted
recently that Mr.. Mahoney
had worn out 10 pairs of shoes
during his 1854 campaign
when he narrowly lost the
De ocratic gubernatorial
nomination to H. C. Byrd.
Willard E. Tydings, who is
MIR. Mahoney's principal rival
in the current race for the
Democratic nomination to the
United States Senate, re-
marked in Frederick last week
that he has just about worn
out three pairs of shoes in the
approximately 40 days that he
has been touring the State.
Shoe-leathering is also hard
on auto tires.
The candidates use cars. of

course. to carry them from one
cluster of voters to the next,
and here again speed seems to
be Of the essence. Speed limits
are violated right and left as
the candidates push their car
avans along.
The other day in Charles
County, the car in which Mr..
Mahoney was riding became
Water-logged because it had
been pouring most of the day.
Mr.. Mahoney's personal Cadil-
lac pushed the disabled car for
about five miles over a newly
graded road bed, full Of ruts
and gumbo traps.
This was done at a speed Of
over 40 miles an hour, which
brought about a temporary
news blackout on the Mahoney
campaign since this reporter
the only newsman with the
caravan at the time-just
couldn't keep up.
A Hit in Hungry Neck
Mr.. Tydings tells a story
about how he was shoe -leath-
ering through Worcester
County recently and he ar
rived at a little crossroads
called Hungry Neck. A man
there told him ne was the only
politician that had stopped
at Hungry Neck in 100 years.
I'VE vowed 'em in Hungry
Neck" Mr.. Tydings reported.
Although Mr.. Mahoney has
built up a reputation as a SUI
perb Shoe-leatherer, Mr.. Tyd-
ings seems to most observers to
be doing more of it and cover
ing more ground.
Mr.. Tydings. of course, has
more reason to shoe-leather
harder. He got into the race
late. after Mr.. Mahoney had
already signed UP commit
ments from Democratic organ
izations all over the State. Mr..
Tydings' chief hope of victory
lies in convincing enough
uncommitted or independent
Democrats to get out and
vote for him.

Civilion Competition
The problem of keeping men
in uniform is not entirely one
of pay and benefits. however.
Mr.. Wilson's letter comedies
that military service cannot
hope to compete with civilian
life IN America in many i'm
portant respects, such as the
chance of a stable family life
and the absence Of the regi-
mentation so unappealing to
most Americans. Pay cannot
compensate for many OF the
inherent disadvantages Of mil
itary life.
Yet within the natural limi-
tations Of service In the armed
forces. the Pentagon feels cer-
tain that many more desirable
individuals would consider a
military career If some Of the
more diSagreeable factors
were compensated for by an
increased feeling of security.
For years the Army and Navy
offered the best economic Sc
curity in the world for those
who priced 1t most, although
the pay was low and the hard
ships many. But the old Army
and Navy and the world they
served are things of the long
ago. and the rapid growth of
fringe benefits in private
employment have lessened
the security advantages OF the
military considerably.
The question. as Mr.. Wilson
points out. is not a purely
mercenary one. II is the ne
cessity, cold and harsh. Of
maintaining for the indefinite
future a large military estab-
lishment equipped with the
latest weapons and manned by
the best-trained personnel
possible. And the job cannot
be done II the key people in
the vital Jobs are TO be only

posts, eager TO get back to ci-

In the fall of 1949, little Ivan

completed seven years of gen.

Unlike young Johnny John

Ivan will not have the privilege
Of deciding which fork to take.
After taking eight years to

LittIe|von Gets Heavy Dose Of Science
And Strong Incentive for High Grades

What does Ivan study? Says
Mrs. Lowman:
The more than one million
Soviet students graduating
from secondary schools last
June had taken five years of
physics, one year of astronomy,
four years of chemistry, five of
biology, ten Of mathematics,
including algebra. geometry
and trigonometry."
More Stress on Science
From the mid-30s until last
year. the Soviet school student
spent 40 of every 100 hours
studying sciences, 81 in hu-
manities and six in physical
education. Now sciences &C.
cupy Al of every 100 hours.
BY comparison. less than a
third of last years million
United States high school
graduates had taken as much
as a year of chemistry. Only
about a fourth had taken a
year of physics; about an
eighth any form of advanced
mathematics.
Russia has sought TO develop
secondary schools to a point
at which they will turn out
as many graduates as United
States high schools. The result
has been tremendous pressure
on colleges and universities.
Only about 80 per cent of the
country's secondary school
graduates can now be accom-
modated at a higher level.
Last year. Premier Bulganin
said Russia was producing
enough college trained profess
sional people for the present.
He said the country should
concentrate on technicianS and
Sub-professional workers.
If Ivan manages to get past

verSity studies, the odds are
he'll wind up teaching in a

But say Ivan doesn't wind
up his first seven years with
