gave their lives then and many more
are in prisons today. No doubt there
will be new evidence of these cruelties
introduced into the debate.
And when this discussion takes place
it might be well to place in the record
also the text of the cynical remarks
made only this week by Communist
Premier Kadar, whose regime has been
carrying on with a harshneSs compa-
fable to that practiced by his Soviet
masters. Mr.. Kadar was speaking in
village near Budapest in celebration of
Communist Constitution Day. BY ironic
coincidence, however, to most Hunga-
rians 1t also was the day Of celebrating
the Feast of st. Stephen, the first Chris
tan King of Hungary, whose birth date
has been q national and religious holi-
day in that country for almost a thou
sand years. This was Mr.. Kadar's mes
sage: The imperialiSts say our system
is cruel. But today ). spoke to some
workers delegations. Our workers and
peasants hnd the regime is not cruel
enough" Presumably, Mr.. Kadar has in
mind satisfying this complaint" in time
for United Nations consideration.

SoIutes Senator

Let me salute Senator Full
bright Of Arkansas for a
brilliant and courageous
days work in the Senate.
Every American whose heart
beats for liberty must APP
preciate these two things he
did: He blocked the APP
pointment Of a lifelong mill
tary man to be head of the
policy division of the State
Department. and he called
on the Senate to stand UP
and be counted against Sec
rotary of State Dulles per-
sistent violation Of the Bill
of Rights in refusing until
recently to let the American
press cover events in China.
Probably we do have, as
DR.. C. Wright Mills of CO.
lumbia University has written,
a power elite" running the
country and without doubt
the military are an impor-
tant part Of it. But at least
the military should not be
given a key spot in formu-
lating diplom a tic policy.
Some thoughtful Canadian
professor-he was no Red,
either-wrote a book a year
or so ago saying that Amer
lea has become a "para-mili-
tary state" Do President
Eisenhower and Secretary
Dulles want to prove this
mans thesis for him?

Our Crowded Prisons

The recent annual report of the
Washington Criminal Justice Associa-
ton throws some light on why the
Districts prison population is higher
proportionately than that Of any State.
The association, which analyses crime
trends here, has found that our correc-
tional institutions are overcrowded be-
cause OF two factors ~ improved police
efficiency and (2) longer sentences being
imposed by the courts Thus, while the
number of prisoners jammed into the
jail and the reformatory is cause for
concern to penal offlcialS, the high
prison rate is not a reliable index Of
crime conditions here.
Actually, as the association pointed
out In its report for last year, the crime
rate here has been dropping steadily as
the number Of policemen on the streets
has been increased in the last two
years. More and more criminal re
peaters" have gone to jail-and for
longer terms than was the case several
years ago.
AS result, the report stressed, the
local penal institutions are dangerously
crowded" 1t was because Of this con-
gestion that the association recon-
mended study Of the problem, includ-
ing the possible wider use of probation
and parole to relieve overcrowding. A
committee appointed by the Commits
sioners subsequently recommended a
moderate construction program at Lor-
ton and enlarged probation and parole
staffs. The annual report of the Federal
Bureau Of Prisons, showing q ratio OF
prisoners to population here more than
twice the national average, gives further
evidence Of the Importance of thacom-
mittee' Recommendations.

Press Ban Lifted

The State Department does not
identify the new factors which have
persuaded Secretary Dulles to modify
his ban on the assignment Of American
reporters to Red China. This may be
nothing more than a face-saving phrase
coined to cover a graceful retreat from
an untenable position. We do not think,
however, that it is matter of any great
Importance. The important thing is
that the State Department now rec
ognizeS that it is desirable ito have
the American people better informed
through their own representatives about
actual conditions in the areas under
Chinese Communist control"
This essentially is the argument
which representatives of the press have
been making for the past year, and
which Mr.. Dulles, first on one ground
and then on another, had consistently
rejected. The oflcial view has been
that 1t would not be Consistent with
the foreign policy of the United States"
to permit newsmen to report the facts
at first hand from Communist CHINA
erroneous. Consequently we welcome
Mr.. Dulles willingness to change his
mind and permit at least limited COW
erage by Americans Of the news from
China.
The State Department has put its
modification Of policy on an expert
mental" basiS-which means that "a
correspondents will be stationed on the
China mainland ION a resident basis for
six months or longer" We see no par
ticular reason to object to this limita-
ton. For it should be possible, within
six months. to determine whether the
Chinese will provide a reasonable op-
portunity to report the news from their
country. If they do not, If the American
correspondents are arbitrarily denied
access to news sources, there will be
little point in keeping them there. This
experiment, however, is one which GER
tainly deserves fair trial We hope
that the Peiping authorities will feel the
same way about it.

Enforcement Works

Washington is beginning to show
the beneficial effects Of a stern policy
OF forcing owners Of rundown housing
and other properties to comply with
safety and sanitation requirements Of
the new housing code In fact, the re-
pair-and-clean-up program has so i'm
proved the appearance Of some parts of
the city that Federal officials are point
Ing to it as model for other cities to
follow.
The block block and building
by-building renovation drive began in
the fall Of 1855, with the establishment
OF new housing division stated with
additional inspectors under orders TO
see that the housing code was strictly
enforced. This was co-ordinated with
the broader Slum- clearance, redevelop-
ment and urban-renewal programs in
the Southwest and Northwest sections.
The initial pilot project was begun in
the Northeast, in a 44-block area of old
houses that were, for the most part, in
sorry state Of deterioration. Inspectors
covered the blocks between Second
street NE. and the Anacostia River,
~ANAAA ONAAoNAbNOAOAA aNChuC W oCIlIllIlR
road. They investigated thousands Of
complaints about unsafe and insanitary
housing, checked on licensed housing
and consulted with owners and tenants.
AS result Of the surveys more than
100000 in repairs and other improve
ments were begun, mostly on a Volun-
tary basis. The threat of the law was
enough to bring cooperation.
In recertifying for Federal aid the
Districts urban-renewal program, Fed
eral Housing Administrator Albert M.
Cole commended the Commissioners for
their code enforcement efforts. Mr.. Cole
said that the upgrading of the Northeast
blocks set an example that would be of
interest on national scale. This is a
far cry from the situation only few
years ago when Washington's blighted
areas were being pointed to in national
magazines and in Congress as glazing
examples of urban decay.

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Eisenhower Power to Be Felt in 1860

that Jackson would not seek
q third term, and Roosevelt
had said fatty three years
and more before 1908 that he
would not run for reelection
because he considered he was
concluding two terms in the
White House - the first
when he succeeded William
Mckinley, assassinated six
months after his second
term began.
Popularity Runs High
Eisenhower has as great
personal popularity - with
the people - as jackson or
Roosevelt. Theodore Roose-
welt was fought as hard by
the Old Guard Republicans
as Eisenhower. He had his
troubles with them in Con-
gress, too. though he did not
have the additional handi-
cap Of facing a Democratic
controlled Congress. And in
1912, when Roosevelt deter
mined to seek another term
in the White House because
he believed that Taft had not
continued his. Roosevelt's.
liberal policies. the Old Guard
beat him in the Republican
National Convention of that
year. The point, however, is
that Roosevelt retained his
influence even though every
one was on notice he would
not run in 1903, to such an
extent he was able to domi-
nate the nomination for Pres
ident. The chances are that
Eisenhower will do the same.
President Harry S. Truman
early in 1852 announced he
would not run for reelection,
despite the fact he was
eligible to do so under the
Twenty-second Amendment.
He did not lose his influence
with his party, as shown
when the Democratic Ma
tional Convention picked Ad-
lai Stevenson, then Governor
of Illinois, over the 'front.'
running Senator Estes Ke-
fauver of Tennessee, because
Truman did not want Ke-
fauver and preferred Steven
son.
It's early to predict the
1860 Republican nominee for
President. At present Vice
President Nixon is generally
regarded as in the lead.
President Eisenhower has
many times spoken out in
praise of the Vice President.
He easily could have set
Nixon aside for another run
ming mate in the 1856 cleo
ton campaign. He didn't.
And when the President came
to San Francisco as the ma
tional convention was OPEN
ing. he put a final end to
Harold E. Stassen's drive to
eliminate Nixon-which was
abetted by Gov. Knight of
California. But whether
Nixon will be the Presidents
choice for President is any,
body's guess.
One thing is certain. how
ever: Any candidate for the
G. o. p. presidential nomi-
nation will be glad to have
Eisenhower support. And Re-
publican candidates for Gov
ernor and Congress this year,
next year and in 1860 will be
d elig h ted to have that
support. too.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

around Washington are too
hot all winter.
Part of this is due to the
great mass Of the people.
The voice of the people is
the voice of God" somebody
said, but Temp Jones says
whoever said it didn't know
modern living conditions.
Ladies who ride buses, for
instance. do not want any
fresh air, because it blows
their hairdos. Or they just
plain don't like fresh air.
The result is overheated
vehicles.
Many warm-blooded folk
perspire mildly. so that when
they get out into the open air
again. they are prime victims
for catching colds.
1t may be true. no doubt.
that nobody can catch a cold
without getting a germ or two
first.
That is a mere detail. Jones
says.
The main thing is that one
catches a cold. or the flu.
Soon people, at the first
sniff1e, will begin to yell "flu."
1t was the same way in 1918.
Everybody with a little cold
had the FLU" Maybe they
did, and maybe they didn't.
Templeton Jones believes
that by following his FIVE
point program he may be able
to escape this time. Keeping
away from crowds, if possible.
staying away from public
eating places, washing ones
hands before eating. wear
ing a hat, and colder street.
cars and buses
These things. and one
other-try to keep other
people from sneezing upon
you.
This last is almost i'm
possible. since many people
rather foolishly regard the
whole thing as a joke, but at
any rate Temp Jones says he
is going to try.
Drinking more than the
average amount Of water. he
says, is another thing worth
trying.

Tunnel Advocate

I am writing as a citizen
and legionnaire to express my
interest in preserving the
beauty Of Washington. D. C.,
as the seat of our National
Government.
I noted that the District
Commissioners took action
recently to have plans drawn
for a low-level bridge across
the Potomac River at the foot
OF Constitution avenue. with
the purpose Of starting con-
struction early in 1858.
I sincerely hope that this
bridge will never be built. as
! believe that It will detract
from the beauty of the Lin
coin Memorial area and the
Lincoln Memorial Bridge
close by.
1t appears that the main
objection TO the proposed
four-lane tunnel at this same
site is that 1t will not meet
the needs Of future traffic. II
a six-lane tunnel is needed
for this purpose, why not
build such a tunnel, regard
less OF the higher cost?
I recall hearing many IA
vorable comments made by
Britishers. Canadians and
Australians about the beauti-
full city Of Washington, d. c.
Isn't this beauty worth
preserving? Remember, once
a bridge is built that will de-
tract from the beauty Of the
Lincoln Memorial area, we
will have to live with 1t for
ever.s

OF August IA. "Broyhill's
Bridge" signed by Morten S.
Boyer. president, Young
Democratic Club of Fairfax
County.
Mr.. Boyer refers to Glib
Crockett's recent cartoon en-
titled "Broyhill's Bridge" as
the funniest, cleverest. and
yet most devastating indict-
ment of Representative Broy-
hills record. He says it de-
picted the vacillation. expe-
diency, inconsistency and
downright righteousness of
the bridge situation. which is
so typical of our Congress
mans record on the airport.
Government salaries. public
education. and every other
issue Of concern to our dis
trict.
This sounds very ungrate-
full and appears as a direct
rebuke to the voters who re-
turned Representative Broy-
hill by a landslide to Con-
gress. They had faith in him
then and he has justified their
faith in that he has fought
for many issues for our dis
trict. including the "Broyhill
Bridge" and has about won
that fight. Too bad we can
not have several Broyhills to
represent us in Congress.

Syria Plays With Fire

Syrian government of1cials have
been quick to dispute charges that they
are leading their country into the status
of Soviet satellite. They have, by their
Interpretation, found greater under
derstanding with the Soviet Union" than
with the West and their criticism Of
United States policies in the Middle East
is unqualified. Their expressed point Of
view merits some study and analysis.
1t may be, for example, that those
who are currently in power in Damascus
are not deliberately-at leaSt-Setting
the stage for Communist capture of the
country. Communism as such, has no
broad appeal to a predominantly Mos
lem Arab population and there is no
incontrovertible evidence that the lead
ers Of the Syrian coup are party menu
berS or even permanently faithful fell
low-travelerS. It is more evident that
they are jealous nationalist who have
chosen-perhapS to an even greater de-
gree than have their opposite numbers
In the Nasser regime in Egypt-to join
in increasingly close relationship with
representatives and agents of the Soviet
government. But the history of such
partnerships is a depressing one and
leaders of the controlling Syrian clique
are being incredibly naive. at best, If
they share the opinion of Defense Min
lister Khaled el-Azem that the Soviet
Union has no designs in the Middle East
except to see Arab nations entirely in
dependent and free from any influence"
The record even antedating Communist
control Of Russia, refuteS any such in
genuouS conclusion.
AS for criticism OF American policy,
Mr.. Azem is appealing to old preiudices
In the Arab world when he links our in
terests with those of British, French
and Zionist Imperialism" And to all ex-
cept Arab extremists he makes his case
even less persuasive when he charges
that we seek ito replace French and
British influence with our own and to
guarantee for the interests of oil COM
panies and other monopolieS a world
wide field for their activities" 1t Is sig
nificant that in no other Middle East
country-poSSibly not even In Egypt
are such views held in places of author
ity. Acceptance Of our Mid-East Doc
trine supporting the independence Of
the states of that area has been wide
spread, with the real menace being rec
ognized as the historic Russian design
to extend its influence to the Persian
Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea
President Eisenhower has indicated
that our own course will be one of
watchful waiting In the meantime, out
OF consultations going on among Syrias
neighbors-aS well as between ourselves
and these other states-there appears to
be emerging a policy of political iSola-
ton Of the Damascus government. Even
the Cairo government of Premier Nasser
has been noticeably quiet about approx
ing developments in Syria. If the cur
rently ruling Damascus clique is indeed
depending upon Arab nationalist SEN
timent for its basic support this sur
rounding reaction may become an effec-
tive force for moderation in the Syrian
capital.
