Let Youngster Tell
His Own Story

this and also because he has
not given an answer to, Tell
me all about it," or What
did you do?"
To my mind the best way
to guide a child into telling
his parents about his activ-
tiles is for us to listen SYM
pathetically. Parents who are
too busy to listen need not
expect a confiding child.
They miss a world of fun,
too. If a mother or father
will just wait, with an easy
going, friendly manner, their
child is likely to talk happily
and naturally. When a
youngster is in the middle of
a story. please do not COR
rect grammar and never,
never ridicule or make COM
parsons. Afterwards you may
correct mistakes if necessary.

BY LETTICE LEE STREET.

Give your child a chance
to tell you about his day.
Interested. devoted parents
want their boys and girls to
confide in them not only
about the gay and amusing
moments of every day living.
Yet many a parent signs and
says sadly. MY child is Sc
cretive and seldom tells us
about his happenings"
AS parents we need to
know that some individuals
are gregarious while others
are reticent: Both in varying
degrees. 1t is a waste of time
and causes a strain to try to
change a child, who does not
talk freely. into a chatterbox.
Also. everyone has a right to
his inner thoughts and this
includes children. To probe
can make a youngster become
taciturn.
Natural Resentment
Remember that a normal
child has a natural amount
of resentment toward his
parents, often unconsciously.
Kids get pleasure out of win
ming any game with adults
who are so tall and know-it-
all. One way boys and girls
may think they are winning
the game called children
against-adults is when they
hide their activities. This is
why youngsters dote on Sc
cret societies, gangs, make up
codes and are great whisper
ers.
However, even though chill
dren quite naturally band
together with other young
sters to form clubs, ETC., a
happy child will be glad to
talk to parents he trusts and
thinks are truly listening to
his words. This also helps
him to gain self-confidence
and to express himself easily
before others.
Never make a bald state
ment such as, What did you
do today?" This is not even
good manners. 1t also has a
dictatorial tone which may
make anyone feel unco-op-
erative and dries up any
sparkling desire to describe
the day. If a child gets the
mistaken idea that his par
ents are spying and do not
trust him, he will feel worried.
Is he doing something which
his mother and father do not
approve? He can have a stir

country store and its traditional cracker
barrel as the setting for ''the greatest
deliberative body this country has ever
known" From the earliest days Of the
Republic, this has been stage on which
both big and little considerations of
public welfare have been debated. The
opinions and the conclusions may not
have been 4official" ones, but it is safe
to say they have been reflected in more
formal forums on later occasions. 1t is
too much to expect, unfortunately, that
all our current problems can be resolved
in the same manner and spirit around
a 2oth-century cracker barrel. It is
not far-fetched, however, to believe
that keeping the practice alive will help
democracy in any century.

Arlington County Manager Lund-
berg's statement condoning the actions
Of county policemen in serving an over
time parking warrant on Mrs. Roy A.
Stephens in her bedroom ignores the
main point of what has aptly been called
an unfortunate" incident. Mr.. Lund-
berg contended that the officers were
entirely within their authority" and
they did what is sometimes necessary
In the due process of law" That expla-
nation might be pertinent in the arrest
OF gangSter or other hardened GRIM
inal, who might be expected to try to
escape through window. But we do
not think it is pertinent in the case If
an overtime parker-even one who has
ignored parking ticket and failed to
answer the door after retiring at night.
According to the County Managers
statement, the officers made two visits
earlier in the evening to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephens and, finding
them absent, asked a baby-sitter to
have Mrs. Stephens telephone the po-
lice. When no call was received, three
police officers went to the house about
II pm, knocked on the door and,
when no response was forthcoming,
opened the unlocked front door and
went upstairs to the bedroom of the.
sleeping couple. There they entered the
bedroom and aroused Mr. and Mrs.
Stephens, who were in bed. An officer
thereupon read the warrant to Mrs.
Stephens and then attempted to hand
her the warrant. She was told to dress
and accompany the officers to police
headquarters, which she did. Her hus-
band was denied permission to accom-
pany his wife to the court house. He
followed her there in his own car, how
ever. The next morning she was fined
S., but the fine was suspended on pay
It1ent of $425 court costs.
II County Manager Lundberg can
see nothing wrong in the actions of the
police in this case, the County Board
should take whatever steps are neces-
sary to prevent recurrence. Policies
and procedures which permit such an
outrageous intrusion on the privacy Of
a citizen whose only offense has been
overtime parking ought to be changed
and promptly.

cupied by engineers, pseudo

performed by one who is not

action could conceivably allie

Temporary Tenant

Despite the fact that they have not
heretofore been fellow members of any
mutual admiration society, Adlai Ste
venSon and Secretary Dulles seem to
have had congenial time of it at their
get-together yesterday. Indeed, the tit
ular head Of the Democratic Party has
described the meeting as extremely
cordial, friendly" and encouraging"
so much so that he now has become a
temporary tenant" of the State Depart
ment, with convenient office facilities
from which he "can just run across the
hall" for future talks with Mr.. Dulles.
This is all to the good. Although
Mr.. Stevenson is only one of many DEM
ocrats (Some of whom challenge his
leadership, he still is man of more
than little influence in his party. So
he can do much, in consultation with
Mr.. Dulles and congressional leaders, to
help promote genuinely effective brand
Of bipartisan cooperation in the field
Of foreign policy, especially as it bears
upon the North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization and interallied political, eco
nomic, scientific and military defenses.
There is no question about the
need for such cooperation. The So
Wet Union, with its Sputniks and mis-
siles, now looms larger and more darkly
than ever as potential menace to the
free world. Accordingly, together with
our allies, we must be united in spirit
and effort to meet the challenge. We
cannot afford the luxury of partisan
ship in that respect, and Mr.. Stevenson
has dramatized the point by becom-
ing temporary tenant" of the State
Department. He has set a good ex-
ample for all Americans, Republican
and Democratic alike.

Reserve Board Action

The Federal Reserve Board has
given timely evidence of its sensitivity
to general economic conditions in APP
proving reduction in the discount rate
charged to member banks for borrowed
funds. In effect, the authorized drop
from 31a per cent to per cent marks
limited relaxation of the tight money
policy and should make both business
and personal borrowing somewhat easier
in the near future.
Presumably, the board was mott
waited primarily by two factors in its
decision. There has been evidence in
recent months that the business boom
had leveled off, at least temporarily.
In several categories, for example,
wholesale prices have weakened, inven-
tories have mounted and retail sales
have slowed. Business borrowings have
declined slightly at a. season when they
normally rise. Capital spending has
been curtailed, or at least deferred, with
high interest rates and uncertainty over
the near-term business future offered
most frequently in explanation. Gov
eminent statistics released in recent
days on the drop in industrial produc-
ton and in personal incomes this fall
confirm the downward business trend.
OF basic interest to the Reserve
Board during the past three years has
been the steady inflationary course of
the economy. The boards first move
to combat this trend was made in April,
1855, when the discount rate was in
creased from 11a per cent to ia per
cent From that date until last August
there we're six more increases to the 3ka
per cent rate. There have been no cate
gorical declarations that the inflationary
period is ended, but 1t was notable that
a Federal Reserve spokesman said that
the rate reduction approved last week
is in recognition that imitation. at least
temporarily, has ceased to be the
dominant factor in the economy"
Policies of the Reserve System alone
will not, of course, determine the direc-
ton of the economy in the months to
come. But the powers Of the board and
It's flexible application of them can have
great effect The current action seems
warrapted and constructive in the light

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL

Down with everything
that's up"
This, the supposed motto
Of an English critic Of hui
mainly. has its echo in every
heart.
There is no man, civilized
or not, educated or no, lit
erary or scientific or math-
ematical, who does not
know it.
1t is responsible for vandals
and their destruction, too.
It is behind every inept
and needless criticism in the
everyday life.
1t is the basic fear Of the
mob.
The educated life Is an
oasis against it.

his ABCs as he Shouldn't

things.
He has no jealousy of
those in high posts.
Still he may feel the urge
to throw a brickbat at him,
as the saying goes.
In times Of chaos, dis
hearteningly more common
today than we would like,
some men want to tear down
everything that's come TO
the fore.
They comprise the ugly
mobs which wreck. destroy
and despoil.
Civilization is an effort to
keep this state of mind In
check.
Those charged with keep
ing civilization intact, or at
least as intact as possible, are
responsible for letting the
herd mind get a start.
When they permit, by lack

Too EorIy for the Summit

George F. KEENAN,, former United
States Ambassador to Moscow, has Just
offered some timely counsel against the
wishful thought that another summit"
conference with the Kremlin might be
productive at this time. Nikita Khru-
shchev has intimated that he would well
come such meeting at an early date,
and there has been considerable West
ern comment in favor Of the idea. Ac-
tually, however, the arguments against
it are so weighty that it seems alto
gether naive and unrealistic.
Thus, speaking over the facilities of
the British Broadcasting Corporation,
Mr.. Kennan, one of our foremost au-
thorities on Russian affairs and chief
architect of the Vests anti-C Communist
'containment" policy, has summed up
his caveat in these words: There is
nothing that could be said to the Soviet
leaders in the space of a few days that
would change their strangely corrupted
mentality. They are men who can be
directly influenced by situations, but not
by words expressed in any Technology
other than their own" And this is the
more true because right now--as II
emboldened by their successful Sputnik
launchings and their progress in the
missile field-they apparently are in no
mood to negotiate reasonable and just
settlements of the great and dangerous
issues that divide the world.
In these circumstances, as Mr.. Ken
nan has said, 1t seems self-evident that
the effort to work out live-and-l et-live
understandings with MoScow-under-
standings covering such vital problems
as German reuniflcation, stability in the
Middle East, and disarmament-call not
for a brief summit" conference under
the spotlight of publicity" but for,
slow, step-by-step, patient, quiet, or
derly use of the regular channels of
private communication between govern
ments." In other words, gathering of
the Western and Soviet heads of gov
eminent at the present juncture prob
ably would be worse that futile AS he
has put it, surely, If the usefulness of
these senior figures is to be protected
and the raising of false hopes avoided,
such meetings should occur, If at all, at
the end of the negotiating process, and
for the purpose of formulating agree
ments already arrived at, rather than
at the beginning ="
This is advice whose common sense
is beyond dispute. Certainly, If there is
ever to be trustworthy general agree
ment with the Soviets, it will have to
be negotiated on piecemeal basis at
levels lower than the summit" and the
negotiating might well include, as Mr..
KEENAN, has suggested, bilateral Ameri-
can-Russian talks. But the process, in
any case, can hardly fail to be long
and extremely difficult one, and its ulti-
mate outcome, It's success or failure, will
depend in large measure on how much
strength and unity we and our Western
allies develop and maintain in the mean
time.

Railroads PLIGHT

proposed withdrawal OF
BIO services to New York
focuses attention upon the
highly inequitable situation
confronting railroads. Roads
using Union Station pay
more than 81 million in an
nual taxes, plus as much in
interest. plus operating costs.
Airlines pay little, in con-
trast. excepting minor user
charges" at National Airport.
Now another huge airport is
to be donated to them. As
a result, they can make rates
so low as to skim business
of the tax-paying railroads.
How much longer is this UNI
fair competition to exist?
Meanwhile one airline is ask
ing for subsidies again.
With rail passenger serv-
ices being rapidly decimated,
municipalities will get stead
lily smaller taxes from rail-
roads (part Of which have
gone to provide free facilities
for their air-competitors).
Much Of the high-school
business-up to $4,000 pupils
a year-comes to Washing
ton by B8O-half or more
Of 1t on the New York line.
Loss Of this will have a
serious effect upon Washing
ton hotels and sightseeing
companies. restaurants, etc.
Long-distance buses simply
could not carry such a vol
ume, nor is any other railroad
disposed to solicit, or handle,
this heavy spring travel. It
just means that much Of this
travel win disappear forever.
From q defense standpoint,
elimination of more and
more rail passenger service
poses a dangerous problem.
The cars will be scrapped;
there will be fewer locomo-
tives and train crews avail
able to handle military per-
sonnet. If it takes some Is
trains to move a division, the
President and the military
well may ponder how this
could be handled If there
were insufficient cars, INSULT
cient engines. unframed OPP
Grating forces. no local sta
tons, no dining cars or
sleepers-all this well can oc-
cur in a few years If the
present trend continues.
In a sense the unions have
created this by unfair wage
demands 1.-TWO or three days
pay for a 225-mile run. etc.,.
But it is now a national haz-
ard. The railroads just can
not meet subsidized compe-
tition longer. If it is to con-
tinue. it is obvious that the
military must rely on air and
bus to handle $4,000 or So 900
troops in an emergency.
