I would like to be able to take
pride in our parks and the
grounds around the public
buildings in our Capital. How
ever. after long observation, /
have come to the conclusion
that We have the quantity but
not the quality.
AS a suggestion for remedy
ing this. and knowing how
much I have enjoyed getting
out in. my back yard each

that apartment jewellers with
green thumbs might enjoy
banding together for the pur-
pose of taking over the plan
ming and planting of certain
parks throughout the city.
The Government could supply
the tools. seeds. ETC.. and the
apartment jewellers the neces-
sary originality, enthusiasm
and physical effort. Contests
could be conducted among the
various groups to see which
could produce the most attrac-
tive results, as is done at the

Syncopoted Diplomacy?

The Soviet "stilyagi" are digging that
boy. The Russian Zoot-Suit set likes Elvis
Presley-even at $l2.50 per record. Trav-
elerS report, in fact, that the teen-agers
behind the Iron Curtain have consid-
cradle resemblance to teen-agers over
here. They like American-Style multi
colored sports shirts, loud neckties, and
chewing gum-as well as American Jazz
music. And even as here, Elvis has moved
in on the RuSski culture to succeed Frank
Sinatra as the favorite among the
younger swooners even though the thin
man" still commands large following OF
those who like it sweet" rather than
"hot"
There probably is not much basis
for hoping that the cold war might be
eased by exchanging Presley for his Rus
sian counterpart-if there is one. 1t Is
notable, though, that American music
the Boston Symphony Orchestra on tour,
the travelling company of Porgy and Bess
and the Presley-Sinatra school-has
found uniformly popular reception be-

Sick Leave Plan

The letter signed Govern
ment Employe" criticizing the
proposed legislation on sick
leave displays a complete mis-
understanding of the purpose
OF such legislation. 1t would
not reward those fortunate in
staying we'll" and "penalize
those whose savings and sick
leave have been wiped OUT;
rather it would recognize the
fact that some employees have
spent more hours on the job
than others-sometimes hun
dredS or even thousands more.
1t is. Of course. unfortunate
when any person suffers a long
illness. but such illness can
hardly be blamed upon en-
ployes who have not used sick
leave. More important. how
ever, is the fact that most
workers use their sick leave
a day or two at a time. The
line between sickness and
nonsickness is a fine one,
and sthere is at present
no incentive to induce an en-
ploye to work when he feels
even hint of illness-except
for his conscience. The pro-
posed law would remedy this
situation by providing an in
centive to stay on the job. II
requires peculiar sort of logic
to come up with the conclusion
that legislation which rewards
those who work the most is
discriminatory or unjust.

Blunt Worninu

The Presidents latest statement on
the Israeli Egyptian dispute seems to
leave little or no room for further bar
gaining.
In brief, Mr.. Eisenhower has remind
ed Israel that all members of the United
Nations, including Israel, are "solemnly
bound" by undertakings assumed under
the U. N Charter, and that these seem
to preclude using the forcible seizure and
occupation of other lands as bargaining
power in the settlement of international
disputes" The statement acknowledges
that Israel has Legitimate grievances"
with respect to the GAIA Strip and the
Gulf of Aqaba. and that there should be
visible prospect of remedying them. In
effect, however, Mr.. Eisenhower says that
the remedy will have to come after, not
before. Israeli withdrawal, and he argues
that positions taken by the u N. and the
United States provide Israel with the
maximum assurance that it can reason
ably expect at this juncture, or that can
be reconciled with fairness to Others"
Finally, the President contends that
Israels best hope of security lies in CO.

true to, and support, the United Nations

principles of the Charter as the worlds

There is nothing in this statement
to indicate what reasons, if any, the
President has for believing that Egypt
can be induced to accept fair settle
ment of the GAIA Strip and Gulf of
Aqaba questions. and these of course,
are the matters on which Israel has
been demanding guarantees. Still, the
statement has tone of finality about it
which suggests that Israel now must
choose between going it alone and ac-
cepting the assurances which have been
given. We hope that Israel will decide to
comply with the u N. demand for it is
our belief that, in the long run, this is
the course which will best serve legiti-

Costly Settlement

More than six months of bitter wran-
Cling and two paralyzing strikes of the
East Coast waterfront seemed near an
end today as the International Long,
shoremen'S Association submitted to its
membership an agreement reached last
night with the New York Shipping Asso-
citation. At best, however, it may be several
days or longer before the eastern ports
are back in full operation, and en-
bargoed rail shipments still are piled up
along good deal of the coast.
The costs of this labor dispute have
been high in dollars-estimated at So mil
lion per day to business interests relying
on the Port of New York alone. For the
three-year duration of the new contract,
II it is honored during that period, the
concessions granted to the union will
mean an estimated $50 million additional
charge to shipping interests and their
customers. The interference with COM
merce for nine days last November and
for another week, at least, this month has
been dangerous and intolerable burden
on the national economy. All the ma
chinery of local and Federal mediation,
including the 80-day cooling off period
provided through the Taft-Hartley Act,
have been employed in this case An end
of the trouble must be hailed with salts
faction, but the means of reaching it
have involved far too high a charge
against the public interest. The lila, ex-
pelled from the ALL in 1858 because of
corruption, has proved its power again,
but in way that makes clear it is still
not responsible union, and that exist
ing labor relations law, in such circum-
stances, still is woefully inadequate.

Arabian Riohts

The Joint statement by Pres

years in exchange for economic
and military aid during this
period.
Few can squabble over the
necessity Of maintaining a
United States base within a
thousand miles of the Soviet
border, but we must examine
what we are giving in exchange
and what conditions govern
the exchange.
Is there a clear understand
ing between the President and
King Saud that the arms that
we give them will not be used
against the Israelis? Has
President Eisenhower made it
clear that in the future the

what the economic aid would
be used for and whether or not
the people would benefit
from It,.
These are important ques-
tons and / hope that they

Another Airport Site

The Civil Aeronautics Adninistra-
TONS decision to study carefully Repre-
sentative Broyhill'S proposed substitute
for the Burke airport site was a wise one.
While advocates of the Burke location
may regard the belated Belmont Bay
plans as a diverSionary tactic by oppo-
nents of the Burke site, no possible alter
native should be overlooked. For If the
Burke project should be killed, and if no
other nearby site is found, Washing
ton may find itself saddled with an un-
satisfactory alternate" terminal, namely
Baltimore's Friendship Airport.
While the general area involved in
the Broyhill proposal had been ruled out
by the CAA In previous surveys, no serious
study OF the downriver site, near Wood
bridge, Virginia, had been made. The
aviation experts had avoided considera-
ton OF areas on or near the North South
axis Of the National Airport, principally
because of potential conflict with flight
patterns laid out for Gravelly Point Such
a technical difficulty is an important
factor in airport location, of course. And
there may be other obstacles In the way
of designating the Belmont Bay area for
airport operations.
However, the need for a second air
port is so urgent that no possible site
within reasonable distance of the city
should be brushed aside without good
cause. Only thorough study by airport
specialists can determine whether the
Broyhill suggestion has enough merit to
warrant abandonment of the Burke
project.

The characteristic part Of a

The troubles in the Middle

current upset. which dates back
to establishment of the state Of
Israel In 1913, which resulted
in a war never satisfactorily

The Stork and Survival

The American people today number
In excess Of ITO million, or about 100
million more than in 1900. Ten years
from now, assuming that the present rate
OF increase continues (aS seems prob
able), the total will be in the neighbour
hood of 200 million-plus. And by the end
of the century-which is really not very
far away-the Nations population should
be well over 800 million.
Socially, politically, economically and
otherwise, this is prospect Git would
vanish, of course, should there be an all
out atomic-hydrogen war; whose signifi-
canoe defies exaggeration. For example
our population growth is likely to create
new problems in the field of law enforce
ment. Similarly, in view of this coming
growth, We must reckon with such things
as the nightmarish potentialities of mil
lions and millions of additional automo-
biles pouring into highway system that
is already inadequate. and into cities
which even now feel that traffic is
Strangling them. And what about our
educational structure, which struggles
today with deficient school facilities and
shortage of competent teachers? How
will it be able to take care of the oncom-
ing armies Of children yet unborn?
These are only few Of the things we
must think about as we contemplate the
explosive multiplication of our numbers.
a multiplication which is being duplicated
throughout the world at large. Will our
food supply be adequate? There seems
to be little question that it will be, but
hot hnaY
water to run our industries, water to keep
our soil productive? An immense problem
is involved here. AS explained. to the Ma
tional Farm Institute the other day, in
a speech delivered in Des Moines by
Assistant Interior Secretary Aandahl. it
is a problem that revolves around this
fact: That the 1875 population of the
United States will need about 453 billion
gallons OF water day, or almost tDice
the amount needed now. How is such
vastly increased demand to be satisfied?
Mr. Aandahl and other authorities are
optimistic. They feel confident that
atomic power. and in time even hydrogen
power, will be so harnesSed as to bring
about a cheap de-salting process that
will make 1t easy to render the oceans
potable and pipeline them to our homes,
factories and farms.
Here we have another remarkable
demonstration of the atoms potentiali-
ties. On the one hand, given its employ
ment in total war, nuclear or thermonu-
clear energy can eliminate the worlds
population problem by annihilating most
of the population itself. But on the other
hand. given decent and enduring form
OF peaceful coexistence among nations,
this very same power can be utilized to
provide reasonably good and happy life
for tremendously enlarged human race.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

A prominent heart special
list recently advised older peo-
pie not to be afraid of shovel
ing snow.
1T will be good for you,"
he said heartily.
The Templeton Jones meth
cd of snow shoveling fits in
neatly with this dictum.
The Jones system entails no
heart strain. produces a good
appetite. and leaves the hands
free for holding a book. for
instance.
The Jones plan. as our
friend calls it, means just
sliding the shovel into the
snow and walking along with
it.
At intervals. it must be
admitted, it must be raised,
TO get rid Of the surplus.
In the main, it means just
a width of the shovel cleared,
and no more. 1t is enough,
he says.
-
Jones stresses the idea Of
nonperfection.
Do not worry in the least
about how ragged the job
looks.
1t is better than most Of
the neighbors. any way you
look at it. from above it,
behind or before it.
Even from an upstairs win
dow. it doesn't look too bad.
The point. our friend in
sistS, lies in the fact that you
have tried.
Just room enough for the
feet, and that is enough.
The Jones method also APP
plies to climbing steps.
Now. in his younger days,
steps meant nothing to Tenn
pleton Jones except things to
climb.
He even ran up and down
the Washington Monument
steps when he was 10 years
old
All the way up, and all the
way down. honest. Strangely
enough. the coming down was
the hardest. Even a small boy
then finds that he has muscles
in the back of his legs he
never knew existed.
The modern Jones method
of stair climbing is based SOL
idly on the advice of certain
well known experts, whose
names he has forgotten. Prob
ably it makes no difference,
since most of their ideas are
based solidly on those of the
late Bernarr Macfadden. This

tiers had many ideas later
