Pittsburgh, Pa. = For
the past two months we have
advanced the proposition of
having a GU. Midwest Bas-
ketball Tournament, viewing
it as a possible means of re-
activating that sports inter-
est in that area which gave
rise to GU. basketball &C
tivity that has settled itself
in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Regrettably we received
but one reply and this an an
nonymous one which could
as such be nothing else than
personal. We cannnt lead our
self to believe that GU. bas-
ketball interest, fraternal in
terest, is so lackadaisical.
IF travelling is a problem,
especially where quartering
Juniors for two days can be
expensive, then let us have
a Midwest tourney, if suffi-
cient teams and lodges show
an interest. The hosting of
such an event normally, calls
for willingness on the part of
group of sportsmen with
which the Sports Educational
Department will cooperate.
This promotion should also
bear attention from Central

Good Appointment

President Eisenhower has picked
well-qualif1ed and experienced prosecutor
to succeed Leo A. Rover as United States
Attorney. Oliver Gasch, as principal as
sistant to Mr.. Rover and, before that, as
assistant corporation counsel, has demon
strated his unquestioned fitness for the
important Office which Mr.. Rover will
vacate when confirmed for the chief
judgeship Of the Municipal Court OF
Appeals.
1t is gratifying to have another ma
tive of the District as United States
Attorney and one who is so familiar with
the peculiar District-Federal setup of the
local court system. AS chief trial attor-
ney for the Corporation CounselS Office,
prior to transferring to the Federal job,
Mr. Gasch handled much of the city's
trial work involving torts, contracts, in
functions and the like. During World
War II he was on active duty as reserve
officer in the Judge Advocate Generals
ONCE of the Army. His legal background
and his reputation as civic leader and
good citizen are such as to leave no doubt
as to his being confirmed.

Service figures that it pays we'll and

allegedly funking his arithmetic, Mr.
Paul still reported total income Of about
$4,000 during those same four years
during which his base pay never exceeded
$4,000 yearly. So the Service, which
counts Mr. Paul's case as only one of
many by which the Government may
have lost millions of dollars in tax reve-
nue., has arranged to have Mr.. Paul in

figures Mr.. Paul owes lot of money in
back taxes.

Asking Too Much?

Win sudden change OF mood
Nikita S. Khrushchev has become ami
able once again-at least for the time
being. In conversation with Marshall
MacDuffie of New York, he has conducted
himself more or less as he did at last
July's Big Four summit" conference in
Geneva. Srnilingly, with display Of deep
sincerity, he has warmly praised Presi-
dent Eisenhower and averred that all the
top men of the Kremlin "are convinced
that American leaders -. baSically strive
for peace and do not want war" Coupled
with Premier Bulganin's friendly" new
letter to Mr. Eisenhower, this suggests
that the Soviet high command has de-
cided to reverse its recent hostile propa-
ganda against the United States and the
West in general.
There is reason to suspect, of course,
that the reversal has been timed to have
some effect on the impending Anglo
American talks between Prime Minister
Eden and President Eisenhower, or that
it has other detectives of kind designed
to create difficulties for the Western pow
erS. However if one looks at it in the
most hopeful light and assumes that it
conceivably may represent bit more
than just new zig or gag in Soviet
policy, it presents an opportunity to chal-
lenge the Kremlin to translate its words
into deeds. Mr. Khrushchev is right when
he comedies that our country's leaders
are striving for peace. He is also right
in declaring that I'VE should have dis
armament, and we should think how to
avoid new war" But these assertions
will remain meaningless as long as he
and his colleagues in Russia's collective
leadership" merely smile and speak
sweetly while persistently following a
course of action that makes a mockery
Of what they say.
Deeds, not words. It is deeds that
must be the proof of sincerity and good
faith in our dangerously troubled world.
If Premier Bulganin's friendly" letter
really means anything, or if Mr.. Khrush
chev's currently pleasant remarks consti-
tute more than today's zig that will be
Cancelled out by tomorrow's gag, then the
Kremlin should so demonstrate-with
concrete acts that will justify some meas
ure of responding trust on the part Of
the free world. Is this asking too much
Of the Soviet Union? If so, how can there
be international confidence, and how can
a decent and enduring peace be built?

Why the Bypass?

Unless there is something more than
meets the eye in the House Parliament
tarian'S decision to send the transit
authority bill to the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee, that de-
ciSion should be reconSidered
The Washington Metropolitan Transit
Authority is established, under this bill,
as IAN agency and instrumentality" Of
the District of Columbia It's five directors
are to be appointed by the Commissioners.
Until the Authority begins to function
under its own steam, the Commissioners
will run it. 1t is logical to assume that
House jurisdiction over the bill, in the
preliminary stages, lies with the House
District Committee. On the Senate side,
the same bill was sent to the Senate Dis.
trict Committee.
:. We have no doubt that the House
Commerce Committee is fully capable of
handling the bill. But affecting, as it
does, SO many local interests, as distinct
from those which usually engage the at
tention of the Commerce Committee, it
properly belongs with the District Com
nnittee-a committee which participated
in the preliminary proceedings leading up
to the situation which calls now for Gre
alton of the Authority.
This complex measure requires i'm
mediate consideration and thorough ex-
animation. The hearings should become
the business of a joint committee of
House and Senate District Committees.
# handled by the District Committee on
the Senate side, and the Commerce Com
mittee on the House side, there are COM
pications that should be avoided. There
are enough of them as it is.

Meritinq a Short Answer

Red China's newest propaganda out
burst is a ridiculous sort of thing. 1t
comes close to being peremptory de-
mand that the United States agree, forth
with, to full-dress meeting between
Secretary of State Dulles and Foreign
Minister Chou En-lai More than that, it
strongly suggests that the agenda for such
a meeting must consist chiefly of our
country's kowtowing submission to terms
Of unconditional surrender as regards
FormoSa and our defensive alliance with
the Nationalist government of Chang
Kai-shek.
Thus, speaking through Wang Ping
nan, its representative at the Sino-
American ambasSadorial talks in Geneva,
Peiping has fatty declared that FormoSa
is major substantive issue that can be
settled only at Dulles-Chou conference.
And on what basis can it be settled? Well,
Judging from Mr.. Wang'S remarks, the
Mao TZe-tung regime holds that Mr..
Dulles must sit down with Mr.. Chou
real soon-and agree () that the United
States is in an Illegal alliance with the
Nationalist, (2) that it must withdraw
its forces from the area, (3) that it must
recognize the whole issue as a Chinese
domestic" affair, and az that Peiping
must be allowed to "liberatep Chiang's
stronghold by fair means or foul, mill
tarily and otherwise. In short, to be on
good terms with Red China, the only
thing our country needs to do is abandon
a key ally, dishonor itself and capitulate
abjectly.
1t seems hard to believe that even the
Chinese Communists would demand a
Dulles-Chou meeting on such basis Yet,
considering the implications of the Wang
statement that is what they appear to
have done. If they must have an answer,
the most fitting one that comes to mind
at the moment is the simple but eloquent
four-letter response that General Nc
Auliffe sent back to the Nazis during the
battle of the Bulge.

For Early Draft

Many college graduates find
it most difficult to obtain good
jobs after graduation if they
have not already given their
two years service in the armed
forces. 1t costs concerns much
money to train these men in
business.
Why would it not be better
to draft our youth as soon as
they have completed their
high school education? The
boys will be more mature when
they enter college; many will
have established purposes in
life and will get much more
out of their education.
There is a restlessness among
college students today. Many
do not properly apply them
selves to their studies. They
expect to be drafted into the
service after graduation.
Scientific advancements to-
day are so rapid that those
who have taken scientific
courses in college find them
selves out of tune with modern
thinking and modern methods
when they seek work after
serving their term with our
armed forces.
II youngsters are taken into
the service after high school
graduation. they will have the
opportunity to find themselves:
they will know just what they
desire to become after further
education.

Snow .Emerqency'

Why is it that Washington seems to
get panicky whenever the Snowfiakes
start to fall hereabouts? Take yesterday,
for example. After light snowfall that
the Weather Bureau at the airport had
trouble in measuring, all sorts of things
began to happen in official circles. Tele-
phones awakened key officers of the local
government early in the morning, hasty
consultations were held, Snow Emergency
Order No. was declared in effect, police
and highway crews were alerted and,
finally, the public schools were ordered
closed for the day.
Traffic Director Keneipp said he pro-
claimed the emergency at sos am. after
receiving advice Of bad conditions" on
the streets from understanding crews
which had worked most of the highland
from the police. He Cancelled the order,
which requires strict compliance with
WITHDRAWING regulations on certain
main streets, when he found that by 10
am. the danger was over. 1t was the
shortest-lived snow emergency recorded
since adoption of the be-prepared- or-else
program for District motorists
AS for the school emergency" Dr.
Corning said he and Board of Education
President Melvin Sharpe decided to keep
the schools closed after consulting Mr.
Keneipp and the Capital Transit Com
pany. The CTC reported transit condi-
tons difficult, because of slippery streets.
This suggests that school authorities
nowadays are less concerned with holding
classes than with inconvenience which
the students might encounter in trying
to get to school. 1t was not like that in
days of yore! Most of us older folk can
remember when schools were not closed
down even when the snow lay deep on
the ground and the winds howled merci-
lessly out of the north. The decision then
as to whether or not children went to
school was made by the parents, not by
the school board or the superintendent.
Are today's children too soft to venture
out in little snow? Or are we grownups
just getting too jumpy about these re-
current-and normal-Weather flareups
OF the winter season?

Traffic Case

The undignifled and highly
suggestive reporting found in
your paper recently of a vio-
lation of District traffic laws
by a Montg om cry County
teacher left me personally and
professionally disillusioned.
Until teachers are treated
with understanding. dignity
and respect by the public-and
especially by the greatest organ
OF its opinion. the newspaper,
many highly desirable yet
equally senSible) men and
women will be discouraged
from casting their lot with the
teaching profession.
I feel The Star. which has
long had a reputation for
honest. straightforward report
ing. caused much personal
damage to the particular
teacher involved by oversen-
sationalizing his case.
This type of reporting causes
many incumbent teachers to
feel less secure in their jobs,
wondering how the press would
play up their plight if they
were human enough to make a
mistake.
Perhaps an even more Seri-
GUS effect is the realization on
the part of potential teachers
how really downtrodden is this
profession they had considered
joining.
When teachers receive little
or no understanding from an
enlightened press. why should
they expect sympathy or sup
port from anyone in the COM
munity?
