those with "a zeal to econo-

some members of Congress.
He also expressed confidence

tense systems of the free world.
Approved by Eisenhower
Mr. Dulles address had the
full advance approval of Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who read it in
advance at his Augusta (Ga
vacation headquarters. Press Sec
rotary James C. Hagerty said
Mr.. Eisenhower also had dis
cussed it by telephone with Mr..
Dulles.
The address was the Secre-
ltary's first major review Of
United States foreign policy since
last fall, and also his first speech
of Mr.. Eisenhower's second term.
Mr.. Dulles said the question
of how the United States should
deal with Communist "despot-
ism" is not an easy one 70 an
swer. He declared the United
States had set an example to
stimulate forces for freedom
throughout the world and ne
assured Soviet satellite countries
that I'VE shall never make a
political settlement at their
expense"
He ruled out action by the
United States to 'incite violent
revolt" and called instead for
measures to encourage an evolu-
ton to freedom" To Russia, he
had this to say:
! Let us also make apparent to
the Soviet rulers our real pur-
pose. We condemn and oppose
their imperialism. We seek the
liberation Of the. captive ma
itons."
Demands Inside Bloc Told
In describing the "pressures Of
liberty" which he said are ris-
ing within the Soviet bloc. Mr..
Dulles said there is increasing
demand for greater personal Sc
curity. freedom and economic
benefits within Russia; that in
ternational communism is be-
set with "doctrinal difficulties"
and that the "cruel performance
of Soviet communism in Hun
gary" had led many Communist
Party members throughout the
world to desert communism.

said, Russia no longer has the

Relief for Penal Jam

The program of legislative and ad-
ministrative reforms planned by the
Commissioners should help materially to
relieve the dangerous overcrowding at
District correctional institutions. More
than that, they would give aid to a
variety Of minor offenders in need Of
rehabilitation.
Adopting many Of the recommen-
dations of a special committee of Dis
trict offlcialS, the Commissioners have
directed the Corporation Counsel to pre-
pare proposed bills for the treatment,
rather than imprisonment, Of drunks
and for other changes in the method Of
handling minor violators Of the law. A
system would be authorized for volun-
tary commitment of alcoholics for inde-
terminate periods, during which, instead
OF cluttering up the jail and the reform
atory, they would be under supervision
OF the District Alcoholic Division for
purposes of rehabilitation and release.
For those who failed to respond to treat
ment, the director of the division could
request their commitment to jail Other
legislative proposals will be studied.
Administrative changes would CO.
ordinate local alcoholic, narcotic and
psychiatric services under q new mental
health bureau, would revise the police
system Of dealing with alcoholics so as
to Soft-pedal the implication of crimi-
nality and would enlarge the probation
stan Of the Department Of Corrections.
All of these Improvements are de-
signed to ease the congestion at the Dis
trict Jail and at Lorton Reformatory, a
substantial part of which has been at
tributed to the prevalence of such minor
Offenders as alcoholics. This would be
but first step, however Some expan-
sion Of the facilities at Lorton will have
to be made before the density Of popu-
lation in present buildings is lowered to
safer levels. A moderate construction
program would be a prudent investment
as an interim security measure.

Bad News for MoIenkov

We do not suppose that the inter-
continental missile tested recently by
the Russians was fitted with the person
OF Georgi Malenkov as substitute for
a warhead. But dispatch from Moscow
leads us to believe that it might as we'll
have been
This dispatch tells of an article
written by Nikita Khrushchev for the
magazine Kommunist. According to Mr..
Khrushchev, his erstwhile buddy, Mr..
Malenkov, was "a shadow and tool" of
the late Mr.. Beria, secret police chief
who was shot in 1853. Furthermore, ac-
cording to Kommunist's distinguished
correspondent, Mr.. Malenkov, although
occupying high position in the govern
ment at the time, did not restrain
Stain, but very skillfully took advan-
tage Of Stalin's weaknesses and habits
in the last years Of his life" (Comrade
Khrushchev also held high position,
but his article does not tell us what he
was doing during the last years OF
Stains life.)
Mr.. Malenkov, ousted as Premier by
Mr.. Khrushchev, was recently reported
to be in charge Of power station in
Central Asia. The Kommunist article
does not indicate that he is due for a
promotion any time soon.

irresponsible LeqisIotion

Death of the bill to increase postal
rates means a continuation Of the ris-
ing trend which has sent the postal
deficit over the half billion dollar mark.
Against the background of such deficit
with even higher losses expected as
costs Of postal services continue to ride
the infiationary spiral, the action of
Congress in sending the President a
postal pay bill which would virtually
double the deflcit was highly irresponSi-
BILE. 1t may be good politics to make such
a gesture in behalf of the politically
powerful postal employees, but the futil-
ity of the move is self-evident. The
President has no alternative but to veto
the measure.
Perhaps he would veto the postal
and classified pay legislation even II
postal rates had been raised, for admin
istration Spokesmen had made it plain
that he was opposed to any general pay
increases now that would add to the
country's inflationary troubles. But a
half-billion dollar boost in postal reve-
nueS, as was provided under the bill ap-
proved by the House, would have eased
the pay impact on the Government. The
rate bill never reached the Senate floor.
Chairman Johnston of the Senate Post
once Committee effectively blocked
committee action to the last.
The annual postal deficit had been
substantially decreased since 1852. when
the losses totaled $72O million. Econ
omies, including curtailed services, had
brought the deflcit down to 1858 million
in 1855. But costs of the services out
raced the economies, with the result
that the deficiency went up to $464 mil
lion in fiscal 1856 and to $515 million in
fiscal 1857. The estimated deficit for rs
cal 1858, without counting pending rail
rate increases, increased employe fringe
BENEFITS and expansion of facilities, is
$685. million.
It should be obvious to every user
Of the mails that there must be an end
sometime to the steady upward curve of
these huge deficits. We do not contend
that the postal service should be entirely
self-supporting. But 1t is only common
sense to require users of the mail serv-
ices to pay a reasonable share Of the
cost. They are not doing so now.

Trusts Gen. Quesodo

I have been a consistent
opponent of the proposed
Burke Airport. as 1t would be
within several miles Of my
home in Fairfax.
For years the Burke con-
troversy has been stuck in
q mire Of political contro-
versy, in which it was inn
possible for anyone to make
an objective evaluation and
decision as to where the best
place for the airport would
be. 1 believe that Congress
took a wise step in placing
the matter in Gen. Quesada's
hands, and instructing him
to take a fresh look at the
whole question.
I am, therefore. sorry to
see our Representative joel
Broyhill again pushing his
way into the picture. and
again trying to drag the
whole problem into a political
mudhole. The purpose OF
Congress was to get the air
port question out Of the
hands Of the politicians, and
away from all those with
fixed opinions in the Board
Of Trade, ATA, CAA, Board
Of Supervisors. and so on.
/. for one. am willing to
leave the decision to Gen.
Quesada, and hope that Mr..
Broyhill will cease to NEEDLE
and muddle with a problem
which Congress deliberately
took out Of his hands.

Passing of the B-36

The Air Force, with mixed emotions
Of sorrow and pride, has confirmed the
scrapping Of It's once huge B-36 bomber
program. 1t is sad, in a way, to have
to consign such powerful and costly
airplanes to the junk pile. But the
record of the B-36 is something to be
proud Of, even though 1t never had a
chance to show what it could do in time
of war. For 1t is quite possible that the
very existence of the formidable inter-
continental bomber was a major factor
in keeping the cold war from getting
hot.
The enormous B-36 was developed
after World War II to give America
unquestioned superiority in airpower
1t was designed to carry a l0,oO0-pound
bomb 10000 miles or more. AS the B-36
fleet grew in strength, Improvements
were made in design to give the bomber
even greater range and striking power
Meanwhile, work was proceeding apace
on Jet aircraft, including heavy bombers
intended eventually to replace the
slower. propeller driven B-36s. When
the Jet bombers, including the B-52,
came into production, the days of the
B-36 were numbered. The B-52, with
its eight Jets, can ny rings around a
B-36, and 1t can 60 greater distances
and deliver a greater punch than It's
conventional predecessor.
So, Of q total of 3s3 B-36s, once the
proud possession OF the Strategic Air
Force, nearly a hundred have been

Of food available and there

a system Of procurement

amounted to genius in its
ineficiency. And there were
the teamsters. Most of these
were civilians. organized and
farmed out by civilian wag-
onmasters. They were prob
ably more unthinking than
conscienceless. but 1t often
happened that to tighten a
load the teamster would

Of salt beef. with quick spoil
age resulting. Others were
given wrong destinations and
dumped priceless grain sacks
into empty. muddy fields to
spoil. Here and there drivers
merely became fed up with a
mired hitch and dumped
what they carried by the
roadside. Lacking grain and
