Battle Jackets?

The relatively gay plumage that has
set apart most Of the males of the animal
kingdom has been matter of envy to
mere men. 1t could, perhaps, be one Of
the reasons why so many drably attired
homineS seek refuge each afternoon in
the places where canapes and shrimp
are standard fare. There are those, how
ever, who are not content with defeatism
who sense that the masculine figure

OF course, be men of duller Sensitivity who

grays; or men who don't really care how
they are dressed as long as they get to

Mr.. Bruce's $1,000

II there is anything in the back
ground" Of David K E. Bruce which dis
qualities him as Ambassador to West
Germany, as suggested by South Dakota's
Senator Case, this, of course, is a legiti-
mate subject for senatorial inquiry prior
to confirmation. But we hope that men
of the stature of Senator Watkins of Utah
are not going to vote against Mr.. Bruce
merely because he contributed 81 900 to
the 1856 Democratic campaign fund.
Senator Watkins has said that the
Bruce contribution "raiSes a question in
my mind whether he supports the Eisen-
hover foreign policies" We do not under
stand why. Presumably, Mr. Bruce made
the contribution because he is a Demo-
crat Does Senator Watkins think man
cannot be Democrat and also be sup
porter Of the Eisenhower foreign policies?
Certainly the President would not
have picked Mr. Bruce for the important
Bonn post If he had entertained doubt
as to his support of the Administrations
foreign policies. But one need not indulge
In guesswork on this matter Mr.. Bruce
has served for years in diplomatic work
under both the Truman and the Eisen-
hover administrations. His record is the
best measurement Of his attitude and his
background" whatever Senator Case
may mean by that. We trust that the
Senates action on the Bruce nomination
will be based on an appraisal of his
record-not his political contributions.

Clinton Contempt Issue

The American Civil Liberties Union
has joined the ranks of those who believe
that the Clinton, Tennessee, school in
junction is too broad, and therefore in
valid. This is especially interesting since
the ACLU supports the Supreme Courts
school ruling and has urged all citizens
to obey it.
The ACLU does not question the au-
thority of the court to enjoin covert acts"
which hinder" or "obstruct" the Clinton
indignation order. Those committing such
acts, assuming proof is available, can be
tried and punished for contempt. The
injunction goes further, however. 1t pro-
hibitS all persons, acting in concert with
certain named defendants from further
hindering, obstructing, or in any wise
interfering with the carrying out of the
aforesaid order of this court, or from
picketing Clinton High School, either by
words or acts or otherwise"
In the ACLU view, as in the opinion
OF many others, this language is so sweep
ing, In the absence of clear and present
danger to the maintenance of peace, that
it cuts across the First Amendment. The
difficulty, of course, is in determining
where the line is to be drawn between
protected free speech and speech which
inciteS to violence. The ACLU points out,
however, that the First Amendment re-
quires that such line be drawn, and goes
on to contend: For the sake of our free
society, whose freedom is preserved by the
free exchange of all kinds and shades Of
opinion, curbS on the First Amendment
guarantees should be allowed only when
the danger is clear"
If this view is sound, and we think It
is, the difficulties which the courts will
encounter in the Clinton case become
self-evident. The major problem, how
ever, concerns the constitutionality of the
injunction itself, and the ACLU has sug-
geSted that the pending trial of 16 de-
PENDANTS should be deferred until this
question is settled. This has merit in that
1t could protect the individuals against
contempt punishment for violating an
injunction which subsequently might be
declared invalid.

For Safer Airports

! read with interest the three
letters appearing in The Star
on February IL, in which
Messrs. Crank, stone and
Carson said the recent tragic
LaGuardia accident could be
repeated at the proposed Burke
airport.
What makes 1t even more
tragic is that LaGuardia. like
Washington National. is a
small airport Of only $50 acres.
Compare this to Burke's 4.500
acres plus 1000 acres in air
safety easements, totaling
$500 acres.
Had the same incident &C.
Cured at Burke, 1t would have
happened on the airport. In
stead Of taking off on 4,360
foot runway. the pilot at Burke
will have 10000 feet Of lighted
surface under him. This should
be very comforting to pilot,
passenger and residents who
naturally desire maximum
protection.
Mr.. Carson's suggestion that
the children at Burke are
more precious than the chill
dren at Friendship misses the
point. Aren't children every
where precious to all Of us2
Don't they deserve the pro
lection that the safest air.

Strange BedfeIIows

The Senate's protracted debate over
the Presidents Middle East program has
produced some mighty strange Demo-
cratic and Republican bedfellowS They
include, among others, Senators Tai
madge, Morse, OMahoney, Jenner and
Malone. In more ways than one, they
constitute an unnatural alliance, but they
are nonetheleSS firmly united in their
opposition to the administrators pro-
posals to counter the Kremlin's very real
threat to one of the worlds most vital
strategic areas
BY and large, moreover, this OPPOSE
ton has been expressing itself in I'M
usually extravagant arguments distin-
guiShed more for emotionaliSm and DEM
agoguery than for common sense. They
are not arguments that appeal to reason.
They greatly minimize, if they do not
ignore completely, the hard realities and
the grave challenges Of our time. On the
whole, Willingly or unwittingly, they
play upon passions, prejudices and fears,
and they must surely be pleasing to any
voter (not to mention the Kremlin) who
has grown tired Of foreign programs or
who feels that all of us would be happy
and safe II we'd Just forget about the
rest of the world and "let it stew in its
own juices"
Indeed, some of the arguments
against the MideaSt program have been
so extreme in tone and content that more
than few members of the Senate-Such
as Democratic Senator Neuberger of Ore
gon-are fearful that the net effect of this
unbridled oratory may be to set off kind
OF congressional chain reaction ending all
forms Of foreign aid in favor of new
brand Of American isolationism. At any
rate, as Mr.. Neuberger has declared, the
opponents OF the Presidents proposals
seem to be working themselves into po-
sition where their ultimate logic or lack
of it, would have the United States scrap
international cooperation and follow a
go-it-alone policy, which could be suicidal
in this age of supersonic flight, nuclear
weapons and developing intercontinental
balliStic missiles.
There is good reason to be confident,
of course, that the Senate will finally en-
act the Presidents program for the Mid
die East. Meanwhile, however by pro-
longing the debate through endless repe-
tition OF their oratorical extravaganceS,
the strange bedfellows may succeed in
winning over enough votes to hurt the
project by creating a world impression
that the American people are too irreso-
Lutte and too divided to stick with it and
make it work. Needless to say, as far as
the Kremlin is concerned, this is con-
summation devoutly to be wished.

Poor Field for Economy

Amid its budget-cutting activities,
the House wisely has spared the fund
requested by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission for completion Of land
buying for the George Washington
Memorial Parkway. There would have
been no net economy in trimming or
eliminating the important right : of
way item. II the purchase of the land
needed to complete the parkway on
both sides Of the Potomac River were to
be further delayed, the cost of the right
of way would soar far beyond the current
estimates. Similar postponementS of the
buying program in the past have proved
to be false economy of most costly kind.
The House Appropriations Committee
evidently had this in mind when it de-
cided to approve the parkway item.
Moreover, the appropriation this year
of STATS, 900 for rights of way in Virginia
and Maryland is essential to the fulfill
ment of Federal obligation implicit in
the parkway agreements reached with
those States. The States and counties
involved already have appropriated their
matching funds at the urgent request of
the National Capital Planning Commits
sion. But at least one Of these jurisdic-
tions (Fairfax County, has made 1t plain
that its appropriation was voted on the
condition that the buying of land in that
county is begun at once-before real
estate prices go any higher. Fairfax
authorities are still grumbling good
reason-over the fact that Federal delays
cost the county twice the amount origi-
nally agreed to for a previous right-of-
way purchase.
Still another reason for congressional
approval of the parkway appropriation
is the fact that completion of the park
way by 1865 is part of the National Park
Services Mission &c." We hope this part
of the NPS program will not be imperiled
by ill-advised delays in land acquisition.

precisely there is where the
danger comes, for with light,

Even if the light is there,
many persons become careless
about turning it on.
We have gone a long way

deal of work, trimming and
cleaning the wick. and keeping
the lamp full of oil.
All we have to do, now. is to
press a button. as it were, and
there is light.
Too often we are too lazy
to press the switch.
Since modern genius and
ingenuity have given us these
lights, we should make full use
of them all the time, not just
part of the time.
In this way. we will make
full and better use of STAIR

Coast Guard Keeps an Eye on Weather

craft. Total personnel. includ-
ing the crew, is about 100, and
cost of maintaining a ship for
a year runs near 100000.
The daily program calls for
surface reports every three
hours, upper wind observa-
tons with pilot balloons every
six hours and soundings every
IL hours with radiosondes. the
balloon robots which
automatically record and ra-
dio back to the ships pre-
sure, temperature and humid
ity of the upper atmosphere.
The program also includes
weather reports every three
hours as well as data on waves
and temperature of sea water
at various depths.
Service on the weather ships
is hard and adventurous.
One rainy night, for example,
an observer spent four hours
in efforts to raise a radio
sonde balloon in the face of
a 65-mile gale. He finally
admitted failure. Another
has described the days on
station: "They don't go
around chasing fronts or
steaming through lows. They
just go out. way out, and Sit"
The ships must ride out
storms. They cannot run
away from them.
Reports Correlated
Reports from the weather
ships and others received from
merchant vessels and CONT
mental and island stations are
combined to compile daily
weather maps of the North
ern Hemisphere. Charts are
plotted for several layers of
the upper atmosphere. show
ing temperature, wind distri-
button and humidity. These
layers are approximately
1890, 10000, $4,000, 10000
and 10000 feet above sea level.
From these charts the meteor
ologists at shore stations pre-
pare forecasts and advise on
scheduled ocean flights. Oft
times. because of the consider
able distances between ocean
stations. they must forecast
conditions over a large area
of the route on the basis Of
reports from single weather
ship.
At present the United States
is maintaining four such float
ing weather stations in the
North Atlantic. BY interna-
tional agreeme nt, France,
Great Britain. the Netherlands
and Norway also operate sta
tions. Belgium, Denmark, Ire
land. Portugal, Sweden and
Switzerland contribute funds
to support the program.

Federal Accountants

With the adoption OF mod
ern accounting system with
its accrual accounting and
cost budget concept, the de-
mand for qualified accountants
by the Federal Government
has increased tenfold since the
close of World War II. In ad-
dition, the establishment Of
internal auditing Offices in the
majority of the Government
agencies has created a demand
for thousands of experienced
auditors.
There have been discussions
about creating the title Of
Certified Government Ac-
countant" to be conferred by
a nationally recognized group
such as the Federal Govern
ment Accountants Associa-
ton. the Society for the Ad-
vancement of MANAGEMENT or
the Institute of Internal Audi
tors. Such a title would confer
a great deal Of prestige on
qualified Government account
ants and identify them as an
especially qualified group with
in the Federal Government.
outside Of the Government the
title Of Certified Public Ac-
countant" is a much-coveted
one for which thousands Of
persons have put in untold
hours Of study and have made
serious financial and other
sacrifices in an effort to
achieve. The CPA is immedi-
ately accepted as a qualified
accountant. and the attain
ment of the title is a prerequi-
site to a successful career in
his chosen field. Unfortunately,
however. the accountant en-
tering the Federal Govern
ment service from public prac-
tice does not automatically
become a qualified Govern
ment accountant. in spite Of
the general tendency TO as
sumo that he is. In many
agencies one must be a CPA
to receive consideration for
the higher accounting and
auditing positions tabove
GS-l2) with the result that
employees we'll qualified
through years OF actual OPP
Grating experience within the
agency are completely blocked
out Of the higher paying posi-
tions.
The creation OF the title Of
Certified Government Ac-
countant" would influence
thousands Of promising young
college graduates to enter the
Federal service. in spite of the
monetary awards now prom
Used by private industry to at
tain the prestige such a title
would confer. The creation
OF a special salary range for
the Certified" man would
also assist in attracting our
