Lucky Young Man

The Japanese court at MaebaShi
has tempered justice with a large
amount of mercy in convicting William
S. Girard of having been moved by a
childish whim" and "capricious mis-
chief" when he killed a woman scrap
"Scavenger" at one of our firing ranges
over there. AS expected, this American
soldier has received completely fair
trial, and the sentence imposed upon
him-a suspended three-year prison
TERMS self-evidently mild one, even
though he has called it kind of tough"
He is lucky young man. Had he been
court-martialed by our Army, he almost
certainly would have found the going
a lot rougher.
Because his case has involved our
status-of- forces agreements with nu-
merouS foreign lands, young Girard has
been the subject of great deal of talk
and agitation at home and abroad. He
has been tried by the Japanese only
because of our Supreme Courts decision
Ia wise one, it seems to us) upholding
our Governments legal and constitu-
tional authority to hand him over to
their jurisdiction under arrangements
sanctioned by our Senate-approved
treaty with Tokyo. The soundness Of
this ruling now seems clearer than ever
in view Of the fairness of the Maebashi
proceedings, the lightness of the SEN
tence and our continuing good relations
with Japan.
AS for young Girard, If the prose-
cution does not seek a reconsideration
of his case. which is unlikely, his sem
tence will cease to have any practical
effect as soon as he leaves the country
Accordingly, considering the lamentable
role he has played in this highly regret
table incident, the sooner he gets out OF
Japan, and the sooner he is separated
from the Army, the better it will be for
him, his japanese bride and everybody
else concerned.

lie to the dangers of such indifference
is causing the foundation and public
health authorities much concern.
Before prevention program was
developed the public was demanding
further research to find a way to combat
the dread disease. And when suitable
vaccine was found, public impotence
with efforts of the pharmaceutical in
dustry to produce the vaccine in sufii-
cient quantities for immediate use was
widespread. Now that plenty of the vac
cine is on hand for everybody, however,
the demand has fallen off alarmingly.
Yet, according to Mr.. Voss, As mil
lion persons under 40--in the age
bracket most susceptible to poliomyelitis
have not received the immunizing
shots.
Because so many persons are incur
ring these needless risks, the foundation
will join with public health agencies in
all parts of the country in stressing the
availability of the vaccine and the
advisability of taking the shots without
further delay. Medical societies in the
Washington area already have under
taken community educational cam
paigns. Why anyone should neglect to
obtain this protection for themselves
and members of their families is hard
to understand.

Some Laws Needed

Chairman Mcclellan of the Senate
Labor Management Committee has
made clear his own opinion, at least
that Congress should enact legislation
to prevent some of the corrupt practices
uncovered by his committee. 1t is an
opinion that Will be shared by many, for
the continuing disclosures of "gangster-
ism and racketeer control" of certain
unions and, through the unions, of whole
industries make the need imperative.
1t is true that the AFL-CIO leader
ship has moved vigorously against some
of the guilty unions. notably the Team
sterS. But it has not yet been able to
break the power of TeamSter President
elect Jimmy Hoffa and his closest asSo-
ciateS. And even If the FederationS
disciplinary action finally leads to ex-
pulsion of the big union, there is no
assurance whatever that its power to
paralyze much of the Nations transport
industry will be decreased. A house
cleaning in unioniSm. where needed,
requires a power of enforcement stem
ming from law and, in the opinion of
Senator Mcclellan. is beyond the capac-
ity of organized labor itself.
Labor's political influence has been
demonstrated effectively in the past.
There is little doubt some of this inf1u-
ence will be brought to bear against
restrictive legislation If introduced next
winter. Responsible labor leadership
has been aroused, however, by the Nc
Clellan committees findings. For its
own good, as we'll as for the public in
terest, it should be ready to accept leg
islation designed to eliminate conditions
which have permitted these abuses to
flourish.

NUNS the Word

An average layman must be par
doned if he feels just little bit con-
fused by some of the statements being
made before the House Government In
formation Subcommittee. The state
ments are all against secrecy. In effect,
they suggest that the Soviet Union is
licking us scientifically and militarily-
especially in the field of missiles simply
because the Eisenhower administration
has been following stubborn and stupid
-the-word policy instead of being
frank and aboveboard and as revealing
as possible.
Consider, for instance, Chairman
Moss of the subcommittee. In ringing
600-word declaration which nobody has
been allowed to interrupt or qualify or
black-out in any way, he has had this
to say: In March, 1856, group of the
Nations top scientists i. warned that
the blanket of excessive secrecy over
scientific thought was sitting our Ma
TONS technical development. They
said Russia was gaining on the United
StateS-if not surprising us-in the race
for chronological supremacy Maximum
security, they warned, is not gained by
maximum secrecy. The only true ma
tional security is the security of
achievement"
These are impressive wofds-sono-
rous, solemn, authoritative and quite
persuasive at first glance, or first hear
ing. But let us not forget our confused
average layrnan He listens to this stuff
with great interest, but he still has some
questions in his mind How come, he
asks, that our Governments so-called
Excessive secrecy" is such milestone
around our necks when the Soviets seem
to thrive on keeping everything COM
pletely under wraps? Is there any
country in the world that talks less
about what it is doing than the USSR
talks? And what nation can even re-
motely rival ours in terms of shooting
off its mouth about its operations in all
sorts of fields, including nuclear energy,
and even missiles?
Actually, as he reads the newspapers
or watches TV or listens to the radio, our
average layman must feel tempted to
call upon Mr.. Moss and his Subcommit-
tee to invite few Russians to testify
as to how and why their secrecy-com-
plete and utter-workS for them where
as ours, which seems relatively loud
mouthed, does not work for us. Could
1t be that we all talk much too much
about everything, at high levels and
low? The question may we'll be worth
the subcommittee attention.

First Jet Landing

On June 2 you published
q letter Of mine in which I
had protested an article in
your May 20 issue which
claimed the French Cara
velle jet as the first jet trans
port to have landed at Ma
tional Airport. In publishing
my letter you were good
enough to acknowledge / was
technically correct in claim
ing the Avro "jetliner" had
preceded the Caravelle by a
number Of years.
In view Of this I was cha
grined to read an article in
your November IA issue relat-
ing to Gen. LeMay's landing
at National Airport. which
again implies the Caravelle
was the first multijet to land
there. Isn't 1t about time we
stopped ignoring the fact
that our Canadian neighbors
have an unquestionable
first? They designed. built
and few the first jet trans
port plane to fly in North
America and made the first
multijet landing at National
Airport.

Posture for AnnihiIotion

AS indicated yesterday by Secretary
Dulles, one of the most portentous items
to be dealt with at NATO's coming
summit" meeting in Paris will have to
do with the establishment of Stockpiles
of nuclear weapons and the preparation
of numerous new bases for intermediate
range balliStic missiles
This is project full of great COM
plexities. 1t involves, for one thing,
questions as to whether it will require
congressional amendment of our atomic
law. And beyond that, as far as our
allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization are concerned, it will call for
the negotiation of firm agreements COW
ering such matters as ~ the custody
of the weapons to be placed on their soil
and (2) the training of forces that are
to handle those weapons-including the
IRBMs, which we hope to have ready for
shipment to them in operational guam
titles by the end of next year.
The Kremlin can. be counted upon
to rail against all this with the same sort
of threats as it addressed to several
NATO members some months ago, and
it conceivably may succeed in intimi-
dating certain of those countries. But
the indications are that most of our al
lies, if not all of them, are anxious to
put into being the project that Mr..
Dulles has outlined. They have very
great reason, of course, to feel this way.
Close as they are to immense Soviet
power Including missileS), they know
that the fundamental law of self-pres-
ervation demands that they build up as
much defensive strength as possible
within the framework of the Atlantic
alliance.
Hence, assuming that next months
NATO meeting takes positive action
along these lines, free Europe between
now and 1859 will arm itself with new
dimensions of power to counter the
Kremlin'S might. Barring some inter-
vening explosion, therefore, point will
eventually be reached when weapons of
the deadlieSt kind will be poised for
instant use on both sides of the Iron
Curtain-weapons like the incredibly
swift IRBM, weapons capable of wiping
out entire cities in the split second it
takes for the unleashing Of a nuclear or
thermonuclear hell
Thus the world sees itself moving
toward a posture for mutual annihila-
ton. Yet the grim logic of events, par
ticularly the menacing build-up of Soviet
power and the Kremlin's apparent de-
termination to reject any reasonable
and just settlements, makes it impera-
tive for the United States and its allies
to arm themselves accordingly. 1t is a
situation in which mankind can do
little more than hope that such action
will serve to deter Red aggression and
ultimately persuade Russia's leaders to
cooperate in establishing a genuinely
trustworthy peace

Also DispIeosed

Exercising their Judgment
as policymakers, seven mem
bers of the Board of Educa-
ton have elected to postpone
important appointments to
the staff of the incoming SUI
erintendent Of Schools until
he has had an opportunity to
select them. This has dis
pleased the outgoing super
intendent, who is quoted in
the press as saying that dur
ing the next Az months he
may interfere with the busi-
ness of the Board by refusing
to bring in recommenda1
on any major issue which
might arise. He specifically
indicates future development
of the District Teachers Col
lege, the question of extra
pay for athletic coaches. or
ganization of a sex education
program. establishment of an
occupational school, plan
ming of the school budget for
fiscal 1860, curricul u m
changes, and many other
important items"
This petulant attitude is
not only unbecoming to a
high officer in the school sys-
tenn at a time when cheerful
cooperation is needed but it
indicates a disrespect for the
judgment of the. Board of
Education, which is a bad ex-
ample to other employees.
If the Superintendent feels
that he has lost the conf
dence of the Board. he should
resign at once and clear the
deck for the immediate ap-
pointment of his successor.
This would be the dignified
and proper way to act. 1t
would also insure continuity
in the school system.
I am credited with per-
suading other members Of
the Board to retain the Su-
perintendent when the ma
jority of the members be-
lieved that his contract
should not be renewed in
1852. I would like to think
that my confidence was
justified.

Prospects OF q new major
grain crop for this country
the sesame of the Bible and
Arabian Nights-have become
bright with breeding Of i'm
proved varieties by Depart
ment of Agriculture special
lists.
Experimentally some Of
these have produced as much
as 1000 pounds Of sesame
seed per acre, compared with
q world average Of ESQ
pounds. The total world pro-
duction is close to 8 billion
pounds. The need for q

fact since the war imports,

have ranged from 9 to "a
million pounds added to q
domestic production Of about
10 million pounds on $500
acres. Even so, the use has
been very limited, especially
in human food.
Harvesting Difficulty
A major difficulty has been
in harvesting. The seeds are
found in small capsules at
the base Of the leaves. When
dry. these capsules burst open
and the seeds are easily lost.
This has made harvesting a
laborious hand operation.
Plant explorers in South
America q few years ago,
however, found some "inde-
hiscent," or mountaineering
varieties. which are quite
suitable for mechanical har-
vesting and which have been
greatly improved by plant
breeders. Samples of the
seed have been distributed
through the South and
Southwest where the crop
can be grown most easily. It
can be fairly PRINTABLE. how
ever, as far northas Nebraska.
Sesame. says a Depart
ment Of Agriculture report, is
q unique crop, requiring rich
land with just the proper
amount and kind Of moisture.
The conditions are fairly well
met. however, through much
of the cotton belt and in
the Southwestern desert with
irrigation.
There are many outlets for
the crop, some of which have
not been exploited anywhere.
The combined oil and pro-
TEN content of the seed is
