Occoquon Powder Keg

It takes closeup inspection Of the
sort made by Board Of Trade commit
tee TO impress outsiders with the critical
nature Of overcrowding conditions at
the OccoQuan Workhouse. District penal
officials repeatedly have warned Of the
dangers inherent in such congestion In
a prison, Of course. but the general pub
lie has shown little interest. Yet the
situation Is one which ought TO be OF
realspublic concern.
Members of the Public Projections
Committee of the trade organization
visited the workhouse and the Women's
Reformatory at the invitation OF the
Corrections Department. They found
that 1880 prisoners were jammed into
the workhouse. although its rated safe"
capacity Is only 1850. The population
at the Women's Reformatory was ais.
while its rated capacity Is $50. The
businessmen observed beds so closely
packed together that there was little
space for walking between them-a con-
dition conducive to q breakdown OF
. discipline and to unrest and possibly
explosive disorders.
It was such conditions that moved
q committee Of District ofiieials some
months ago to recommend to the Com
missioners a number Of remedial meas
ures, including some new construction
and wider use Of probation and parole.
The first-hand reports Of the Board OF
Trade committee and of other interested
groups should be helpful In arousing
public support for administrative and
legislative proposals to meet the prison
emergency. without such support the
penal authorities very likely will md
their campaign for major Improvements
at Occoquan unavailing.

Difficult Students

a survey by the New York Times OF
New York City's "difncult schools"
problem has revealed conditions which
should be Of grave concern to everyone
in that metropolis. But at least some
Of the conditions prevalent in New York
are not confined to that city. Washing
ton, too. has It's problems with "dificult"
school children-those unable or un-
willing to learn. The question that arises
is what should be done with these prob
lem students. Should they be allowed
indefinitely TO disrupt and retard the
process of education for children able
and anxious to learn?
The situation In New York, As dis
closed in the Times report, Is truly
shocking. 1t was found that one-fourth
of the citys elementary schools and
one-third Of the junior high schools
have been classified by the Board OF
Education as "difiicult schools" That is,
the To- and achievement levels are so
far below city-wide norms as to set the
schools apart from the average. Many
of the pupils cannot even speak English.
Twenty-Five elementary schools, mostly
where Negroes and Puerto Ricans domi-
nate the population, have so per cent or
more Of non-English- speaking pupils.
Sixty-eight schools have from 40 to Is
per cent Of such pupils and % have
from "a TO 10 per cent.
But the IQ. and language deficien-
cies are but part of the problem. Lack Of
discipline. ranging from sullen defiance
to physical assaults on teachers and
pupils, is widespread In the "dificult
schools" One newly appointed teacher
told of her troubles with rowdies. II tell
them to STOP" she said. IF they do not
mind. I 60 right on with my work and
ignore them, hoping that eventually
they will tire OF their mischief. don't
know what else to do" Another teacher
told of q visit by three members OF
a chastised pupils gang" The trio
warned the teacher TO LAY on or you'll
get hurt"
1t is not surprising TO learn that
many teachers resent assignment To
troublesome schools and that some quit
rather than teach there. New York
school officials have called for volun-
teers for the difiicult schools, but few
have responded. Many more are needed.
1t was recently suggested that 1t might
be necessary To rotate teachers from
non-difiicult TO difficult schools-but
teachers organizations have protested
this proposal strongly. 1t was predicted
that mass designations would result
from such q course.
Tia sad part Of the story is that In

Tito and Germany

In extending diplomatic recognition
to East Germany's puppet Red re-
gime, President Tito of Yugoslavia has
brought his policy still more closely into
line with that of the Kremlin. The effect
OF this on his relations with the West
remains to be seen, but 1t Is not likely
to be helpful The United States and
Britain have already indicated as much
by officially declaring that they regard
the action as "regrettable."
AS for West Germany, the Adenauer
government has said In the past that
1t would view as an "unfriendly" move
any decision by any country To recognize
the East German Communists. So now
1t has broken of diplomatic relations
with Belgrade. At the same time, how
ever, It continues to maintain such re-
lations with Moscow, even though Mos
COW has long been dealing with puppet
East Germany as free and independ-
emit" nation. In these circumstances,
as a logical or practical matter, there is
some reason to wonder whether much
can be accomplished by Bonn's severe
response TO the Yugoslav action, which
may be emulated by one or two of the
Arab states.
What is certain, however, is that
Marshal Tito, by recognizing the frauds
ulent East German regime, has given the
impression Of having been sold bill OF
goods by Nikita Khrushchev and COM
pany. It is not wholesome bill OF
goods, and 1t strongly suggests that he
is tying his wagon again To Moscows
star. His press spokesman deny this,
but the appearance Of the thing is far
from reassuring, and 1t is not going to
bolster his stock in the United States
or elsAwhere In the West.

School Financing

A previous letter Of mine
In The Star was intended TO
interest Montgomery County
taxpayers In the continuing
expansion OF the public
school curriculum and other
additions rejecting school
costs. Ghis is TO outline coun-
ter measures for meeting
these requirements without
taxation.
Subjects additional To the
regular school courses. in
tended to afford specialized
eduction. should be sepa-
rated from the unsupported
schools. The means TO pro-
vide the desired amount Of
further improvement and
cultivation Of the individual
is seen In the pupils them
selves. 1t Is plain TO be seen
that the teen-age population
supports various amusement
enterprises. and In particu-
lar the multi-million dollar
record industry. The money
comes mostly from family
allowances. Without dwelling
on the merits Of the juke-box,
record player and radio
music programs, the question
Ia whether or not Mont
gomery County's contribution

verted TO another use.

viduals for mutual improve

Another Welcome Visitor

Prime Minister Macmillan's decision
to visit washington in October instead
Of In February, as originally planned.
must have been prompted by certain
sense Of urgency. But there Is no reason
that we know Of TO suppose that there
is any ''crisis" aspect to the expedited
journey
There are many things which the
President and Prime Minister. each an
"old and trusted" friend Of the other,
can probably discuss at this time. One
is the question Of closer collaboration
between British and American scientists
in the nuclear feld. This Is now severely
restricted by United States legislation
desisned TO safeguard our secrets" But
Russia's accomplishments with Sputnik
and the ICBM suggest that we would be
wiser to share-and pool-our secrets"
with the British, who are quite COM
petent in this field in their own right.
Other promising items for an
agenda would be the serious situation
in the Middle East. the cold war in its
larger aspects and the fundamental
matter of the relationship between the
United states and Britain. Mr.. Macmil-
Ian spoke Of this In vigorous terms re-
Gently in his address to his own Con-
sentative party-stressing the overriding
Importance Of the strongest Anglo
American unity. We do not think this
relationship, though butieted bit, has
really been seriously impaired. for no
sensible person In either country can
doubt that Britain and the United
States must stand together or suffer
separately. Surely both Mr.. Macmillan
and Mr.. Eisenhower have the most lively
awareneSs Of this. and their Bermuda
meeting Of last March testiies TO the
fact. There Is much that remains to be
done, however, and Mr.. Macmillan will
be warmly welcomed In Washington
next Wednesday. This would be assured
II for no other reason than that his
arrival follows 50 closely upon the visit
from Britain's charming and captivat-
Ing Queen.

Veto Power

There Is a certain plausihility TO
Senator Knowland's suggestion that II
Is illogical and immoral TO permit the
Soviet Union to use It's veto In the Sc
curity Council to fiout It's obligations
under the U. N. charter. In effect. Mr..
Knowland asks: Why expect the charter
to be binding on law-ahiding nations.
and on small nations, when II Is not
binding on the Soviet Union. armed with
Its veto power?
There is no easy answer to the ques-
ton. But perhaps It may be useful to
examine Mr.. Knowland's proposed REM
edy and It's probable consequences.
He thinks Russia's veto power can
be curbed under q charter provision
which provides that Q party TO dispute.
under certain circumstances. shall abb
stain from voting In the Security Coun-
ell. Suppose this should be invoked and
that the Security Council then should
return finding adverse to Russia's In
terest. What would happen7 Mr.. Know
land thinks the Russians might walk
out, and that the U. N. would be the
better for It. But is this really true?
To be sure, the Security Council
would be able to bypass the veto power
and reach its decision on q given issue.
But how would the decision be en-
forced7 Does Senator Knowland think
the Council has either the means or the
will TO compel Russia TO accept It's
fnding2 II not. what Is gained by en-
abling the Security Council to make .
decision which 1t cannot and win not
enforce?
There Is one other point to be con.
sidered. II Russia can be deprived Of
Its veto power, or have It curtailed, the
same thing applies to France. Britain.
China and the United States. Having In
mind the changing lineup in the u. NJ.
we do not think that the people Of the
United States. morals and logic notwith-
standing, would be willing to surrender
our own veto power in some future dis
pute to which We might be party. This
would be all the more true II the council
were prepared TO reach decision ad.

After that, they tend TO
revert TO the wild. and since
their teeth are very sharp,
and their tempers unstable,

water and suEaf.
1t Is best fed with q medi-
cine dropper, or doll nursing
bottle.
Care must be taken to see
that the animal Is getting the
fluid. and that 1t Is not run
ming down the side.
Stale milk on animal fur
makes q very bad combina-
ton.
One little squirrel was
nearly starved to death be-
fore the owner discovered
that the milk was going to

Let Us turn away from the
turbulent conditions Of the
world and dwell for q moment
on the more pleasing topic
Of how to keep ever youngl
The efhcaciousness Of the
following recipe-as cleaned
from the life Of Gertrude
Clarke Whittall - was re-
markabIy demonstrated on
the occasion Of her Goth
birthday. a. celebrated at
the Library Of Congress on
October 7.
This happily smiling lady
-honored by . special cere-
mony on the platform Of the
Coolidge auditorium-gave no
sign Of age. but seemed to be
the very essence Of youth.
Gertrude Clarke Whittall--
bright-eyed. smiling, still avid
for life, seems ageless. To
what does she owe this un.
fading exuberance?
The chief lesson which the
life and career Of Gertrude
Clarke Whittall conveys TO US
Is: TO keep happy. through
activity. service. and har-
monious and loving associa-
ton with our fellow humans;
never to dwell on or regret
the past: never TO be in
tensely affected by disagree
able events; ever to keep
v!abie, by planning and exist
ing for the future.
In her music foundation
which has for 20 years con-
tributed richly to the cultural
enjoyment Of Washing
tonians. and her poetry
foundation. more recent, the
success OF which Is also
thrilling TO her-Mrs. Whit
tall iinds q never-failing
source OF interest. Of plan
ming and Of expectancy.
In this last word-expect-
ancy--lies perhaps the whole
key TO the matter. Ones life
expectancy is. in some mys-
ferrous way, correlated with
ones emotional expectancy.
A. long as We have something
to look forward TO, as long as
we have something we avidly
wish TO live for - we keep
young and confuse the calen-
dar.
