Sound First Step

Representative Thompson has come
up with a sound suggestion that an in
formal committee, perhaps headed by
DR.. Milton Eisenhower, advise the PreSi-
dent on appointments to washingtons
new national cultural center commits
sion. The Importance of care in selecting
citizen leaders to serve with ex-ofacio
Federal off1cials on the board Of trustees
for this venture cannot be overempha-
sized. For these citizen leaders are the
ones who must shoulder the main
burden Of planning the center, directing
its construction and raising through
private contributions, the necessary f.
nancing, estimated to range between $40
million and $25 million.
Several lists of possible appointeeS
containing far more than the Is citi-
zen trustees to be named by the
President under law-already are being
drawn up. 1t is gratifying, of course,
that there appear to be so many able
citizens who presumably would be will
ing to devote time to this enterprise Mr..
Thompson's point, however, is that a
small advisory group is needed to aid
the President in the difdeult time
consuming job Oh selecting a panel

Quiz Question

No question from even the toughest
OF TV quiz show categories could hold
the public interest more firmly than the
big question which two former contest
ants have raised as to the integrity of
such shows. More specifically, the ques-.
ton is whether any of the contestants
on at least two of the quiz shows we're
given advance coaching before going on
the air. A New York grand Jury is try
ing to find the answer.
One show was dropped by both
national networks after Standby"
contestant complained to the Federal
Communications Commission that an
swers were supplied certain competitor
on the program. The TV-Viewing pub
lie did not really sit up and take no.
tice, however, until similar charge was
made by another former contestant
against the well-known, money-disburs-
ing quiz show, Twenty One" This man,
one Herbert Stempel, won $49, 900 on
Twenty One" before losing to one of
the shows big money-winners, Charles
Van Doren. Mr.. Stempel has told re-
porters he was furnished answers to
some of the questions, was told to miss
other questions and finally was induced
to take a. dive" in order to let Mr.. Van
Doren win.
Pending the grand jury's report, the
quiz show fans would be well advised to
withhold Judgment. Two things about
the "Twenty-One" case are very puz-
zling, however. One is Mr.. Stempel's
reported admission that he had signed
statement generating the shows pro-
ducers of any wrongdoing, with the ex-
PLANTATION that he did so because he had
been promised an appearance on an
other quiz show, "Tic Tao Dough-" The
other strange thing is that 1t should be
necessary for any contestant to miss
question deliberately In order to enable
Charles Van Doren to become winner.
Somehow, having been among those who
watched Mr.. Van Doren in action, we
just don't believe it.

which would be most representative Of
national interests in the center and
which at the same time, would be most
likely to contribute to It's success.
DR.. Milton Eisenhower, president of
Johns Hopkins University, would be emf
nently suited to participate in such a
project. He already has voiced to Mr..
Thompson his strong interest in the
center, and apparently Is in full agree
ment that special pains must be taken
in this initial step. We hope the Presi-
dent will give serious consideration to
the suggestion that he turn the screen
ing job over to small advisory group
on whose judgment he could rely.

kresponsibiity'

In signing the $1.1 billion public
works bill, President Eisenhower criti-
cized congressional inclusion of certain
rivers and harbors projects as another
instance of responsibility" in spend
ing. He made no reference, however, to
irresponsibility of a different sort, to
which the Budget Bureau was a party.
This was in connection with the APP
preparation for continuing the engineer
ing survey of the Potomac River above
Washington.
The omnibus appropriation bill pro-
vided only 100000 for the Army En-
gineers' comprehensive study of water
supply, flood control and other phases
of the Potomac River development pro-
gram. This was 100000 short of the
minimum sum which the engineers tes-
titled was required to bring the tagging
survey work up to schedule. And, it
also was testified, the danger of a Sc
riouS water shortage in the next few
years would be greatly increased unless
impounding reservoirs were built in the
near future. Construction of such res
ervoirS must be delayed until the survey
is completed.
Despite the request of the Army
Engineers for 100000 with which to
speed up the studies, the Budget Bureau
slaShed the item to 100000 and Con-
greSs voted that amount. To make
matters worse, the Senate Public Works
Committee recommended that this sum
be devoted principally to survey report
on the river above Harper'S Ferry. II
the Army follows this suggestion, the
urgently needed report on water con-
servation and control in the vital area
just above Washington, from which the
city and some. of It's suburbs derive their
water supply, will be indefinitely de-
layed. Certainly this is an instance of
irresponsibility" that is hard to beat
and harder to understand.

r. G. Solomon, in an obvi-
Gus reference to the state
OF Israel. refers to "the ir-
ritating carbunckle on the
map of the Near East" This
writer has pity on one who
could have such malice in his
heart toward this tiny coun-
try, which has been the only
hope Of the remnants of
Hitler's gas chambers.
About 20 years ago, this
writer attended a mass meet
ing at which Miss Dorothy
Thompson spoke. She de-
nounced Hitler and made an
impassioned plea for justice
for the Jewish people. Miss
Thompson once was one of
the best friends of the very
cause which she has more re-
Gently vehemently denounced.
Let us hope that she will
some day give her blessing
to the Jewish people and
espouse the same causes
which she did when Jews
were being murdered by the
millions. Then she was one
of the most eloquent de-
tenders of the very things
which we ZionistS still sup
port and will continue to
support.

Forced Feeding

New York's Liberal Party has eaten
some of It's own words in indorsing
Democratic senatorial candidate Frank
s. Hogan. And, If 1t matters, there is
plenty of evidence that 1t was forced
feeding" operation.
The Liberal decision was made by
a three-to-one vote of the party'S advi-
sorry committee. In the several days of
preparation for the voting, the commit
tee was treated to the following fare:
Thomas X. Finletter, the partys own
choice for the Senate race, declined the
nomination and appealed instead for in
dorSement of Mr.. Hogan as an alterna-
tive to Republican victory. Governor
Hartman, who did not want Mr. Hogan
originally, but subsequently identified
himself as close friend, urged the
Liberals to be equally, friendly. Mr..
Hogan himself conferred with Liberal
Party leaders and successfully passed an
examination" which the Liberals sub
mitted to him by QUESTIONABLE. Mayor
Wagner in New York and former SEN
ator Lehman in Switzerland likewise
helped show the Liberals the course of
true political wisdom. And a policy sub
committee discovered by surveying the
record of Representative Kenneth B.
Heating, the Republican senatorial can
didate, that he had been wrong" on "a
votes and fright" on only % during the
past ten years in the House.
This is, of course, perfectly UNDER
standable and legitimate politics. The
Liberal Party ordinarily polls several
hundred thousand votes-enough to
mean the margin between victory and
defeat for one of the two major parties.
Some Of the party leaders originally OBJ
jected to becoming rubber stamp" for
the Democrats and even suggested that
the Liberal Party had no reason for
existing If it had no independence. If
they haven't eaten these words, at least
they have been outvoted by some of
their best friends.

Now You See 1t ;.

There is a certain element of now
you see it and now you don't In Viz
ginia's massive resistance" to any
school indignation anywhere.
On Thursday Governor Almond
seemed to swing back to a firm no-inte-
grafton plan. In formal statement he
admonished local school boards not to
assign any Negroes to white schools, and
he insisted that the Federal courts were
without authority to compel them to
make such assignments.
On that same day Virginia's At
torney General, Albertis Harrison, was
arguing the Arlington case in Alex
andria. Urging delay, he told Judge
Bryan: "Given time, given understand
ing, given tolerance, there is no problem
that confronts Virginia, confronts the
South, that cannot be solved. Maybe a
year from now some of these applica-
tons (from Negro children) might be
granted. ="
This does not sound to us like the
language of spokesman for the no.
integration-anywhere philosophy. But
Mr.. Harrison, in Federal courtroom, is
not in the same situation as the Gov
ernor in Richmond. 1t would be help
full, however, If there were one authori-
tative spokesman for Virginia in this
matter-a spokesman who would not
appear to contradict some other State
official and, indeed, who would not
appear to contradict himself.

Naval 'Breokthrouoh'

In this age of Jet propulsion the
development of revolutionary marine
propeller Is apt to seem relatively un-
important. Actually, however, the Navy
has cause to be excited over the news
that the Once of Naval Research has
broken through the "cavitation barrier"
In naval circles this is an achievement
roughly comparable to aviation's mas
terry Of the sound barrier.
Cavitation-the tendency of ships
propeller to spin in vacuum chamber
OF its own creation-long has been an
obstacle to high speeds by large YES
sells. AS more power was applied to the
ships propeller, the vacuum tendency
increased, with consequent loss Of speed.
Many propeller designs have been tried
out in an effort to overcome the cav
itating effect, but with little success.
Now the Bureau of Ships has dis
closed that new propeller, shaped
somewhat like screw, has been de-
signed and tested successfully at the
David Taylor Model Basin at nearby
Carderock, Maryland. This propeller,
the Navy says, will enable ships to make
so miles an hour or more-and with less
expenditure of power. The potential
tiles of such device with respect to
submarines as well as surface craft are
great. And not less so are the posi-
bilities in the nonmilitary field of sea
transportation. The development GER
tainly should be made available to naval
architects and shipbuilders genarally.

Democrat Platform

Montgomery County DEM
ocrats evidently don't believe
there is a trend toward the
Informed" vote, and mean
to make their pitch toward
the ''misinformed." For ex-
ample, let's take a look at
two platform items at which
they're pointing with pride:
First. they're claimin g
that except for school ex-
penditures. the cost of county
government under their four
year reign has shown an
actual decrease"
Yet a breakdown of COM
parative expenditures car
ried in our county news
papers shows that appropria-
tons made in the current
Democratic budget for OPP
erations, other than schools,
are actually 1885 per cent
higher than those last au-
thorized by the Republicans
for the 1954-5 fiscal year.
Second, Democrats are
pointing with pride to an
"antfbulldozer" law which
seems to have even bull
dozers confused. For a short
drive from practically any
point in Montgomery County
might show bulldozers going
about their usual merry way
~ leveling out natural ter
rain which easily might be
protected and pushing
over trees which have stood
in majestic beauty for hun
dreds of years. The result: A
f1attened and denuded area
completely devoid of interest,
beauty or shade.
The truth is, Of course,
that this law" which county
Democrats are trying to claim
credit for has never been
supplemented. And until it is,
it is of absolutely no value.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES s. TRACEWELL

Probably people now are
more interested in power"
as such, than in good lawns.
Maude E. writes:
THE letter from E. L. NJ.
about the mockingbirds was
delightful.
I'VE. too, had a hooking
bird who, during the big
snow last winter, spent a day
in a tree near our kitchen
window on the fourth floor.
"She ate generally three
raisins, softened in water,
placed on our window sill.
"She would return to the
tree on the side away from
the wind and snow, and
almost Immediately put her
head under her wing and
slept. This she did many
times for an hour.
Her mate appeared this
spring, and for only a few
times did they come together
to get raisins. We did not
see either again until last
week.
1--WE heard a young bird
calling.
There was our mocking-
bird and her child on the
tree. She tried to make it
come to the window sill, but
failing she few over three
times and stuffed her hungry
baby.
They flew away towards
Rock Greek and we've not
seen them since"
The woods were the birds
first home.
They love to return there
when they can. Only mans
kindly interference lures
them away at any time.
Much the same can be said
of the squirrels; these hardy
rodents love trees In a way
no other living thing can.
perhaps.
Both tend to seek the shade
now and then, both birds and
squirrels, since neither has
the need for sunshine that
perpetually assails mankind.
Usually in September. and
sometimes in early october.
the birds return to us, for a
few brief days of eating and
drinking and flying around,
before they set off on their
Journeys to far places.
1t is nice to think they have
remembered we were kind to
them. Out of this reservoir
of gentleness may some be .
left for us all in a time Of
need.
