And the public reaction would depend

Ifthe fee system should manage to
corner most Of the more attractive pro-

World Series, championship tights and
so on, the commercially sponsored pro-

and the larger the investment the bigger
the charge that would have to be as
sessed to assure profits. The sponsored
industry has argued that If pay TV were
able to achieve monopoly OF the
better programs, the chances are that
eventually the quality Of the offerings
would decline and the public would be
the victim. On the other hand, It might
well be that competition from q new fee
system, as opposed to sponsored TV,
would raise the quality Of the latter
with the public the chief beneficiary.
Under the circumstances, the FEC
wisely has decided to move slowly, with

Dulles vs.. Cronyko

SAkS~SeNep
the United Nations General Assembly,
Secretary of State Dulles and Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromyko have given
Numerically opposed versions of what
has happened to intensity tension in
the explosive Middle East. In one of
these versions, the Kremlin is the vii
lain OF the situation; in the other, the
evildoer is our own country acting in
concert with its allies in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
But Mr. Dulles, although he has
caused considerable confusion by blow
ing hot and cold and then hot again on
this issue, has told far more convinc.
ing story than has Mr.. Gromyko. For
there can be no doubt that the Russians,
who have long aspired to win mastery
over the Middle East, have been doing
everything possible to turn the entire
region against the Western powers as
a prelude to sovietizing and enslaving
1t. To that end, with heavy arms ship
ments and numerous subversive ma
neuvers, they have already made such
great progress in Syria that Turkey,
both In its own and Mr.. Dulles iudg-
ment, has real reason to worry about
the danger Of a Kremlin-directed north
south pincers movement against it.
Moreover, as Mr.. Dulles has indi-
Gated, comparable potential threat
confronts every other nation in that
part. Of the world as a result of Soviet
policy. It is policy deliberately de-
signed to stir up trouble throughout
the area by encouraging nationalist ex-
tremists to embark on reckless adven-
lures, by sending in ornaments to make
paciflcation more difncult than ever, by
resorting to propaganda Of the most
mendacious and incendiary kind, and by
employing the techniques of subversion
and indirect aggression to undermine
and ultimately destroy the independ-
ence Of all the Middle Eastern countries.
That is why the United States, as Mr..
Dulles has once again warned Moscow,
stands ready to help those countries re-
main free-even to the extent Of inter-
vening with its armed forces II they are
attacked and ask for such intervention.
Mr.. Gromyko has responded to all
this by trying to persuade the General
Assembly that the Soviet Union is alto
gether innocent Of trouble-making and
that the present great tension stems
from American efforts, through NATO,
to dominate the Middle East. More
than that, he has served notice that the
kremlin cannot be an "impasSive OBJ
server" Of the ituation-which means,
apparently, that It will continue to fish
In the troubled waters. Clearly, in Mr..
Dulles words, this is a risky business,
and the U. N. should do whatever it can,
which may not be much, to put an end
to 1t for the sake Of peace.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

teaching Of the young Is so
basic a function that few
variations may be played on
this funda m e n tai theme
without wandering far afleld.
Certainly we have per-
mitted the innovators in edu-
cation much too free a hand;
but the fault lies with us, not
the teachers. We have been
too disinterested. too eager to
abdicate our responsibilities
to the teachers. At the same
time, by our inertia and neg
lect, we have attracted into
the teaching profession
mostly second-rate talent
talent incapable Of resisting
or turning these new, untried
theories to best advantage.
We have failed to recognize
the Importance Of teaching;
we slyly vote against pay in.
creases or new construction
that require money, we have
refused to accord the teacher
q place In either our society
or our esteem commensurate
with his responsibilities, and
we have failed miserably to
encourage the most able Of
young people to enter the
profession.
We can never criticize
teaching or teachers without
at the same time casting a
stone in our own direction.
Education is not the model
but the reflection Of the So
ciety in which II functions.

The Presidents Critics

TnlS Is gOOo Time 70 take naro
look at some Of the criticism which has
been heaped on the Presidents head
because Of his handling Of the Little
Rock situation. For as things stand now
In that troubled community, the free
swinging critics. political and otherwise,
should be in mood to eat their words.
The extravagant criticism which
has come from Negroes, Louis ARM
strong being conspicuous example, is
at least understandable, for with them
this is highly charged emotional mat
ter. Perhaps the criticism which has
come from the politicians, such as New
York's Governor Hartman, is under
standable, too. For their interest is
deeply rooted in partisan politics.
We do not believe, however, that it Is
helpful In situation Of this kind for
anyone, politician or otherwise, to con-
denim the Presidents conduct unless he
has something constructive of his own
to offer.
Speaking of Mr.. Eisenhower, Gov
ernor Hartman has said: First by his
failure to speak out, and then by his APP
peasement Of the Governor Of Arkansas
the President has failed to check, and
In fact encouraged, those who are at
tempting to block peaceful indignation"
We do not know what this means.
Nor does it convey any clear idea as
to what Governor Hartman would have
done had he been in the Presidents
shoes. It is quite clear, however, that
the President has served notice on Gov
ernor FaubuS that he intends to use
every legal means at his command to
obtain compliance with the law as inter-
preted by the Supreme Court. It is also
clear that the Attorney General, acting
at the direction of the President, sought
and has obtained an Injunction for
bidding Governor Faubus to interfere
with peaceful indignation in Little Rock.
And the Governor says he will comply
with this order.
We think that this clearly results
from the wise, yet Arm, stand which the
President has taken. In our Judgment,
he has done exactly what q President
Of the United States should have done,
and we know of nothing more that he
properly could have done.
The dispute in Arkansas, ugly
though 1t is, is a matter which must be
settled in the courts through lawful
procedures. It is not something that
can be remedied with emotional out
bursts or invective. Consequently, we
are glad that the President has not re-
sorted to the name-calling and the
cheap politicking which have been the
distinguishing hallmarks Of his critics.

Jean SibeIius

Jean Sibelius is dead, but the
treasury Of great music of the Western
world is enduringly richer for his having
lived. Often described as q brooding
and mystical figure, Sibelius spoke with
magnificent eloquence in the interna-
tional language of musical composition.
His message, drawing its rugged colors
from his northern country and its proud
people, was one Of faith that mankind
is born to be free, that there is majesty
In the human soul that need not bow
to the artificial tyrannies Of politics or
material power Finland, his native
country, provided him the inspiration
for this faith and his own genius
enabled him to speak 1t in terms that
were recognizable far beyond geographic
frontiers.
Sibelius' place among the worlds
greatest composers was established be-
fore the turn Of the century when his
tone poem, Finlandia, was recognized as
a monumental work In the course Of
producing seven major symphonies and
tnnumerable other compositions, Sibelius
often departed from the traditional. At
times critics Of his experimentation were
heard, but his music won a steadily
enlarged following. It is gratifying that
his popularity has been widespread and
unquestioned in our own country. Every
major symphonic orchestra in the
United States includes many Of his
works in It's repertoire. His death at 81
Is loss, but his music will remain to
enrich generations living and still

Designing the New Bridge

Now that the bridge or-tunnel con-
troversy has been settled in favor Of a
bridge at Constitution avenue, it is re-
assuring to know that the highway en-
gineers, the National Capital Planning
Commission and the Fine Arts Commits
sion are getting together on details The
two commissions properly are seeking
to protect the monumental aspects Of
the Lincoln Memorial Memorial Bridge
area, and in this connection, the NCPC
has approved the approach layout pre-
pared by the Highway Commission,
sensibly rejecting request for further
delay.
A fruitful" conference between
District and Fine Arts Commission ON
Gals already has been held. At this
meeting the commission urged that the
new bridge be so designed as to har-
monte in general appearance with the
arched masonry Of the Memorial Bridge.
Engineer Commissioner yelling subse-
quently announced that consideration
will be given to a stone-arch design
similar to that Of the bridge which
links the Lincoln Memorial with Airing
ton National Cemetery and Lees home
there. Cost is an important factor in
working out a design, Of course, but
every possible effort should be made to
build bridge in keeping with It's beau
tiful surroundings. We hope that such
q bridge can be designed, with the adj
vice and cooperation Of the Fine Arts

Lyndon Johnson Has Ups and Downs

Things change very quickly
in Washington. Give them q
week or so and quite often
the politicians who appeared
on top Of the wave are at the
bottom. Sometimes, those
thought to be very close to
grasping the highest Of all
prizes-the presidency-sud-
denly find it almost COM
pletely out Of their reach
not through any fault or fall
ure Of their own but solely
through the incaIculable and
unpredictable whirl Of the
wheel Of circumstances which
could not have been fore
seen.
Take, for example, what
happened to Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas q short
time ago. For weeks Senator
johnson was creased by all
the intellectual and liberal
journalists in the country un-
til he shone like q piece Of
highly polished saddle leather
because Of the "briIliance" Of
his leadership in the civil
rights debate, resulting in the
passage Of the act without q
fllibuster from the South lex
cept for q one-man show or
q real and bitter cleavage in
his party. Because Of the ex-
cessive delicacy with which
all reference to this subject
is now dealt by the press Q
more apt expression, old as
the hills, could apply to Sen.
ator johnson, but It is not
likely the editor would permit
it to remain In this piece.
However, 1t makes no differ
ence. so long as the point Is
not blurred. Anyhow, SEN
