Communists. They have come from the
extreme right, where feeling against
Pakistan and against the Moslem minor
ity in India is most intense. But most
of the issues are local-food prices in
some areas irrigation projects in others,
and social problems involving caste and
language differences.
There is basic significance, how
ever, in the whole proceeding. This is
democracy at work as men and women
Of all stations in life, of castles that in
years past could never touch or approach
each other, stand patiently in line before
the voting boxes. The choices made will
be those of the people, influenced per-
haps but not dictated by those who are
practicing politics. This is young ma
ton, proving that the democratic pro-
cedureS can work.

Courage Pays OFF

Israel's Prime Minister Ben-Gurion
has met and mastered the political
enemies in his own house. BY margins
on the order of three to one, he has
beaten down attempts to unSeat him by
those who, for one reason or another,
bitterly opposed the Israeli withdrawal
from Egypt.
This outcome is tribute to Mr.. Ben
Gurion'S political courage and to the
good sense of that majority of the Israeli
Parliament which stood with him. For
despite the uproar from the extremists,
withdrawal was both the right and, we
think, the necessary step for Israel to
take. Continued defiance of the U. N.
might have brought some Short-term
gains, but certainly would have been dis
aStrouS for Israel in the long run.
Mr.. Ben-Gurions exemplary per-
Torrance had its counterpart in our own
country. 1t was not an easy thing for
the President and Mr.. Dulles to stand up
to their political opposition and insist
upon Israeli withdrawal as the the first
condition Of any settlement in the Middle
East. But this was the right thing, per-
hapS even the necessary thing, to do, and
they did it.
They are still faced, of course, with
the problem of dealing with Colonel Mas
ser and his Arab allies. This, too, will
call for skill, courage and a fidelity to
purpose. But if Mr. Dulles and the Presi-
dent can pull it off, if they can find some
way to tolerable adjustment of Israeli
Egyptian differences. they will have rem
dered a high order of Statesmanlike serv-
Ice to the world. And, incidentally, they
will have put to shame those extravagant
critics in this country whose reckless
accusations certainly have not made the
task any easier.

Kinc-Size Election

The biggest and perhaps the longest
free election in history is going on today
In India. 1t began on February "a and
the polls close on March IL. Nearly 200
million persons, men and women, have
qualified to vote and more than half are
expected to exercise the privilege. At
stake are 494 parliamentary seats and
about 5000 state legislative seats. APP
proximately 10000 candidates have been
campaigning. There are four major par
ties and scattering of local splinter
groups. There are no television networks
and political speeches are banned on the
radio. Most of the campaigning has been
by talking Give" to audiences wherever
they can be found and very few candi-
dates go outside their own villages or
districts. Prime Minister Nehru, leader
OF the dominant Congress Party, is an
eXception--he has been "air hopping" the
country diligently.
AS far as the course Of current world
events is concerned there Is relatively
little significance In the election. Mr..
Nehrus party is expected to retain its
national control easily. Few Indians dis
agree with his neutralism in the cold war,
or with his social goals for the country.
The strongest attacks on the Nehru adj
mhlistration have not come from the

Struggle to Survive

The Fairless report on foreign aid
and collective security has been rather
severely attacked in this or that detail.
But in its essential findings the report,
1T seems to us, is both significant and
sound.
The former chairman of the board
OF the United States Steel Corporation
and his six civilian associates came
to this fundamental conclusion: The
United States is engaged in an inescap-
able struggle for its existence; we must
assume that this struggle will continue
Tor long time to come; our best security
Is collective security, and we must not
Ialter IN carrying our share of the load.
This finding by group of men
whose collective judgment should COM
mand respect comes at time when
foreign aid is under heavy attack. Con-
gresSmen profess to detect rising popu-
lar discomfort, a growing unwillingneSs
to continue to shoulder the heavy burden.
1t also comes at a time when there is
much dissatisfaction with the size of the
Eisenhower budget, and there certainly
will be a determined drive in Congress
w SO0 ~. DuC ~ Id IlOO easy W CUT d
budget, especially in areas which affect
ones own constituents or the national
defense. This leaves foreign aid, which
the FairleSS group estimates for fiscal
1856 at about So billion, and it is in
this area that the severest pruning
attempts are to be expected. When the
economy knives are out however, this
report will stand as a clear warming to
those who would use them recklessly.
The FairlesS group broke its S8-billion
figure down into S3.9 billion for military
assistance, SIT billion in nonmilitary aid
and $2.3 billion in expenditures abroad
by our military forces and civilian agen-
cieS. AT this level" the report said, 1T
is believed that the total cost of collec-
tive security does not outweigh the results
being achieved; and this total amount
should under present conditions be ade-
Quate to provide reasonable eXpecta-
ton of achievement of the goals of
United States foreign policy without
undue strain on the domestic economy"
In other words, we can carry the
load If we will, and if We do carry it we
will secure the ultimate triumph of
freedom" This is the key conclusion,
and it should not be lost sight of in any
argument over details

Stamp for Lafayette

1t is hoped that the Eisen-
hover administration will issue
a commemorative stamp in
honor of Gen. Lafayette. and
that it will be released in
Philadelphia. where he re-
ceived his commission as major
general without dbay and be-
came a member of Washing
tons staff. Lafayette was
born September 6. 1857. at
Auvergne, France.
Upon arrival in Phila-
delphia, Lafayette was ignored
by the Continental Congress.
The French had settled in
Canada and in the Mississippi
Valley. so he was regarded
with suspicion by the colonists.
Subsequently an honorary sap
pointment as major general
was given to him. His military
ardor and bravery were demon
strated during his first engage
ment as he was carried
wounded from the battlefield
at Brandywine. Gen. Wash
ington shortly thereafter
placed him in command of a
division. Through the influ-
ence of the Marquis at the
French court. military and
naval reinforcements were
sent. resulting in the ultimate
victory at Yorktown in 1881.
Our Government issued a
stamp during 1852 in con-
nection with the l75th ami
versary of his arrival in the
United States, showing La
Fayette in the uniform of a
young officer. II is recon-
mended that commemorative
stamp be authorized in OBJ
servance Of the 200th anniver-
sary of his birth. showing his
portrait when he visited the
States in 1924. The portrait
in the Hall of Representatives
in the United States Capitol by
Scheffer. adjacent to that Of
Washington. or the splendid
portrait by Samuel F. B. Morse
in the City Hall in New York
could be used.
His life was characterized by
unflinching devotion to the
cause Of democracy. Let us
emulate his example in solving
the problems Of today.

To Safeguard Pedestrians

An analysis OF last years pedestrian
deaths in Washington amply justifies the
breakdown which Traffic Director Ke-
neipp has ordered on drivers who ignore
pedestrians rights at street intersections.
Accident figures for 1856 have disclosed
that 10 persons were killed while cross
Ing legally at intersections. These were
not jaywalkers, but men and women sup
posedly enjoying the right Of way which
the law gives pedestrians who comply
with signals and crosswalk restrictions.
Their deaths constituted % per cent Of
pedestrian deaths last year. The re-
mainder were men, women and children
mostly the latter-who were crossing
the street between intersections.
Mr.. Keneipp, after studying the
figures, decided to increase the number
OF points assessed against drivers found
guilty Of failing to accord pedestrians
the right of way at crosswalks Hereafter
q total of five points will be marked down
against such motorists, instead Of the
previous three points if an accident was
involved and two points if the pedestrian
escaped being hit. Furthermore Chief
Judge Walsh of the Municipal Court has
increased the minimum collateral in such
cases from $40 to S25 The new plan makes
sense. When pedestrians are told that
they must obey signals and keep inside
the crosSWalks they have a right to be
protected from drivers who, through
carelessness or fragrant disregard Of the
regulations, endanger the lives of persons
trying to get across the street.

Virginia Airport Sites

Although the discussion of particular
sites continues, there is encouraging
evidence Of growing determination in
Northern Virginia to cooperate in find-
ing suitable site in that area for a
supplemental national airport Such
cooperation is essential if the persistent
efforts in Congress and elsewhere to
designate Baltimore's Friendship Airport
as Washington's auxiliary air terminal
are to be defeated
State Senator Charles Fenwick of
Arlington, chairman Of the Virginia Air
port Study Commission, has issued a
timely warning against protracted "bick-
ering" over Virginia location for the
airport. He pointed out that a victory
by the Friendship advocates would mean
the loss to Northern Virginia Of IAN
annual S33million payroll" This payroll
is an economic plum which Maryland
UNDERSTANDABLE covets very earnestly.
That Fairfax County is beginning to
realize the Importance of such a revenue
producing asset is indicated by the move
ment there to find substitutes in the
county for the controversial Burke site.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, a member of the
Board of Supervisors, has revived a pro-
posal to place the new airport in the
Chantilly-Pender area of the county.
Meanwhile, the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration is studying the Broyhill sugges-
ton Of Belmont Bay, in adjacent Prince
William County.
The Chantily and Fender sites pre-
viously were studied by CAA consultant,
who found them to be suitable from
virtually every standpoint except distance
from Washington. Secretary of Commerce
Weeks advised the Senate Commerce
Committee in 1855 that the ground
travel transportation time and distance
would be greatest for Chantilly, inter-
mediate for Pender and the most salts
factory for the Burke site" He said Burke
was the lone site within the specification
maximum" of 30 minutes driving time
to downtown Washington. However, both
Chantilly and Fender are far closer to
our city than Friendship and hence either
would be far preferable for our airport
purposes than Baltimore's terminal.
In summation, 1t is clear that there
are several sites in nearby Virginia which
are more suitable for a supplemental
Washington airport than Friendship. And
If Congress is opposed to proceeding with
the Burke proiect--in which the Govern
ment already has invested close to 81
million-then the logical alternative is
one Of the other available sites in North
ern Virginia. Furthermore, the final deci-
sion ought to be made soon, for it will
m hull tIa

winning re-election) a signifi-
cant difference in basic party
strength. demonstrative Of
Democratic Party superiority.
However. other factors indicate
that Democratic Party strength
may be declining"
For example, although DEM
ocratic congressional candi-
dates increased their percent
age of the two-party congress
sional vote over 1852, their
percentage of the two-party
vote in 1856 was down from
1854. In 1856 this percentage
was, nationally, 51.3. and out
side the South. AIS, while
their percentage Of the total
vote in 1854 was, nationally,
52.6. and outside the South,
49.4. Also. in 20 so-called
Swing States" which have 314
congressional seats, the Demo-
Gratis won only 145 in 1856.
If the four Southern States,
including the swing States, are
omitted, the Democrats won
only 103 of the remainings270
seats. The four Southern States
included in the swing list are
Texas. Virginia. Florida and
Kentucky. The other swing
States were listed as Califor-
MIA. Connecticut, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa. Maryland, Massa-
chusetts. Michigan. Minnesota,
Missouri, New Jersey, New
York. Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Washington and Wisconsin.
Further. the "a States in
which the Democrats won
congressional majorities have
only 242 electoral votes (for
PRESIDENT, too few for VIC
tory at the national level, a
discouraging factor for the
Democrats in national cleo
tons.
Cites Declining Support
But more serious = and
ominous-the analysis said,
was the steady and sharp de-
cline in urban support for the
Democratic Party in the last
decade. 1t pointed out that
all nine congressional seats
won by the Republicans from
the Democrats in the last cleo
ton are classified as either
metropolitan" or "mid-ur-
BAN" In contrast, of the II
seats won by the Democrats
from the Republicans, ten are
classified as rural or small
town"
The Democrats won a ma
jority of the 1856 presidential
vote in only 16 of the lib
most populous counties in the
20 swing States. This was
almost so per cent fewer than
the 80 carried in 1852, and
less than a fifth of the 83
carried in 1948.
Commenting further on this
change-for the worse-in the
Democratic vote in populous
areas, the analysis showed
that the Democratic presi-
Dental ticket last year won
only five counties in the South
which include centers with
over 100000 population -
counties which included jack
sonville. Fla; Atlanta, Ca;
Nashville, Tenn; Jackson,
Miss. and Waco. Tex.
