Visitor From Japan

During his visit here this week,
Japanese Foreign Minister Aiichiro
Fuiiyama will discuss with Secretary
Dulles and other top American officials
a number of issues of prime concern
both to his country and ours Not least
of all he will be interested in exchang-
ing views on the potentially grave situa-
ton now existing in the Formosa area.
Beyond that, the talks will cover such
subjects as our mutual security arrange
mentS and measures designed to bolster
Japan'S economy.
AS far as economics is concerned,
the Japanese are particularly worried
about their long-range trading position.
As one of the worlds most advanced and
industrially productive peoples, they
must carry on large-Scale export-im-
port business to maintain their popula-
ton of over IS million on reasonably
decent standard of living. Indeed, given
their lack of raw materials and their
relatively tiny homeland, they can
hardly survive otherwise. Accordingly,
with Red China virtually closed to them
as market, they must have adequate
outlets for their manufactured goods,
not merely in the West, but especially
in Southeast Asia. That is why Mr..
Fujiyama, who is one of Japan'S out
standing induStrialiStS, is expected to
urge our Government to do everything
1t can to help the free Asian nations
develop thriving two-way commerce
with his country.
1t need hardly be added, of course,
that Mr.. Fujiyama's views on this
matter will receive, close and sympa-
thetic attention during his welcome
stay here, and the same holds true for
whatever he may have to say about our
defensive treaty with Japan and the
ominouS developments around Formosa.
This is as it should be. His country,
after all, though our bitter enemy little
more than a decade ago, now is one of
our friendliest and most important allies
In world full of danger.

Wrong Principle

While Alexandria's superintendent
of schools, T. G. Williams, is defendant,
along with members of the school board,
in an Indignation suit, he knows very
well that the suit is impersonal and
directed at issues which neither he nor
the others named as defendants are able
to solve. While Mrs. BloiS o. Handley,
employed as cook by the school SyS-
TEN, is complainant in the indignation
suit, everybody realizes that her action
is directed against condition affecting
her own and other children, not against
the personalities who compose the school
board or the school administration.
These things being true, the firing
of Mrs. Handley was an error which Mr..
Williams and members of the school
board may in time regret. The integra-
ton suits represent clash of principles,
not personalities, and the petty injection
of personalities in this case by the school
officials is Of greater injury to the prin-
cipleS which made them defendants
thar, to the cook they dismissed.

There Goes Maine!

The political tide-watchers have
neither much of a choice nor much
of a problem in evaluating Mondays
election results in Maine. The Demo-
Gratis won "big"-as they hoped to do
and 1t is reasonable to interpret the
results as a reliable sign of many adj
ditional victories across the Nation in
November. After allowing due weight
to local issues and personalities, the
Democratic sweep of four out Of five
major contests in the Pine Tree State
still cannot be discounted as evidence
of current national trend Only one
incumbent Republican Representative
won reelection, while the Democrats
took seat in the United States Senate,
the governorship and two other places
in the House. For the G. o. p, it was
the worst defeat ever absorbed in Maine.
The number one race, of course, was
that in which retiring Governor Edmund
S. MuSkie defeated Senator Frederick G.
Payne-the first time in history that the
Maine voters themselves have chosen
Democrat for seat in the upper branch
of Congress. Mr.. MuSkie's good record
as Governor and his personal popularity
in the State undoubtedly were major
factors in his convincing S-to-2 victory.
But the fact that Names economy has
suffered badly during the recent recess
sion, and that Senator Payne was among
those who received gifts from Bernard
Goldfine, probably figured in the voting.
In sense, both of these factors are
Republican liabilities which are likely to
count in other States, too.
For the long term, or as far away
as 1860, 1t would be risky to "overinter-
pref" this weeks results. Maine has
displayed some Democratic strength in
other off-yearS, but has reverted to
its Republican pattern in presidential
voting. Furthermore, in today's fast
moving world, many things can happen
in two years to reverse the tides of po-
litical sentiment In any case, Names
historic function as political barom-
eter"-no really reliable in modern
timeS-haS come to an end with its de-
cision to do its voting in November,
along with the other States. If it is to
be two-party State from now on, its
preference will not be recorded in time
to provide campaign ammunition. "As
Maine goes, ETC." has served the Demo-
Gratis best in this final test.

Twits Fine Arts

Due to alterations In his
Georgetown place of business,
Lad Mills hung a sign saying,
We're All Shook Up, But
You're Welcome AS Always"
The English and size Of the
sign seem to have shaken the
Fine Arts Commission as
very improper"
How nice it is to have a
Combined School Of English
and Art to see that WASH
ington knows how to use both.
There is nothing abusive in
the wording, and I see no
harm in what Mr.. Mills has
done on a temporary condi-
ton Of business. I rather
think the Fine Arts Commits
sion and other civic organi-
cations of our city should
look first into the crude and
lewd motion pictures, being
shown before our teen-agers.
We can expect no better be-
havior from them until we
clean our city of cheap, vile
and worthless magazines and
motion pictures.

Little Rocks Plea

The Supreme Court meets tomorrow
to hear final arguments In the Little
Rock Casa case which presents what
the local school board rightly calls ques-
tons of tremendous Importance"
These questions, as set out in the
Little Rock petition, are ~ whether a
court Of equity may postpone indignation
II continued enforcement will result in
an intolerable situation and great dis
ruption Of the educational process :. :"
and (2) whether 1t is the responsibility
of local school board to undertake to
quell violence, disorder and organized
resistance to deSegregation.
What these questions come down to
is an appeal to the court to deal with
the real heart of the Little Rock issue.
No one doubts that the Little Rock
school officials came forward in good
faith with their desegregation plan, nor
Is there any reason to doubt that they
tried in good faith to put 1t into effect.
The result was measure of turmoil
and chaos which disrupted the educa-
ton of all the Students-colored as well
as white-at Central High School.
In such a situation, is postpone
ment permissible or must indignation
proceed at whatever cost to the educa-
tional system? If the courts answer
should be that indignation must go for
ward without delay, who is responsible
for obtaining compliance? If some de-
lay is acceptable, under what circum-
stances will 1t be granted? What, really,
did the court mean when it used that
ambiguous phrase-all deliberate speed?
I 1t is of the highest importance, we
believe, that the court give answers to
these and related questions as far as it
is possible to do so. For the lower courts,
not to mention local school bodies, need
the benefit Of all the guidance they can
be given. If it is not forthcoming, more
rather than less chaos will be the
inevitable result.

Formoso and an Open Door

1t is gratifying that Secretary
Dulles, at his latest news conference,
has plainly indicated to Red China that
the door is still open to peaceful settle
ment of the critical situation in the
Formosa Strait. Enthusiastically, he
has couched his comment in rather am
biguouS language. Even so, he has made
1t clear that the whole explosive problem
would lend itself to reasonable negotia-
tion-negotiation that could produce i'm
portant American conceSSionS-if only
Peiping would unequivocally renounce
the use of armed force to attain its ends
In the area.

Dulles has said nothing essentially new.

Chinese Communists to commit them
selves to such Remuneration lin which
our own country would join) as prel-
ude to efforts to negotiate a mutually

status Of FormoSa and the offshore
islands of Quemoy and Matsu. Up to

posal 1t has preferred, instead, to keep
on talking about It's determination to
Hibernate" these disputed territories in
one way or another, even by military
means If necessary.
1t is because of this fact that the
FormoSa area has once again become
a zone Of acute danger. Still, with
Moscow's support, Peiping has affirmed
its willingness to resume tension leasing
ambasSadorial talks with our country,
and our own Government has responded
aff1rmatively, with renewed emphasis on
the assurance that the military renun-
citation we seek from the Mao regime
need not involve renouncing claims or
the pursuit of policies by peaceful
means" If the Chinese Communists re-
strain themselves accordingly, the door
held open by Mr.. Dulles may lead to a
real abatement of the current crisis.

MoHcompIoint

Oak Grove, Va, is at a
crossroads and before
January l, 1858, we had mail
from four directions and
daily mail to and from every
post Office in the Northern
Neck. There were two mails
to and from Fredericksburg
daily, and two mails q day
down the Northern Neck.
The first incoming mail ar
rived around 8 am. and the
last outgoing m all left
around 4 pm.
Beginning January /, 1858,
we were put on a rural route
out from Colonial Beach.
This mail arrives here after
10 am; the driver continues
on his route and is back
here to pick up mail around
noon. When we heard of the
planned changes in mail
service we Immediately got
up a petition, signed by over
200 people, protesting the
change. This petition would
have been ignored if we had
not sent a copy Of it to our
Congressman. When he in
vestigated the matter the
postal officials told him
that we would get excellent
mail service.
After over six months of
this mail service we do not
agree with them.
So please give us our old
mail service back again. It
was more satisfactory, and
cheaper too.

of this, it long has been rec

to tides on low beaches all
over the world.
This. however, does not ac-
count for the whole decelera-
ton. The unknown factor
may be the hitherto unSus-
pected "plasma" filling inter-
planetary space. This has just
been reported to the Amer
lean Physical Society by Drs.
Serge A. Korff and Arthur
Beiser Of New York Univer-
sity. Their Investigations were
supported in part by the of
flee of Naval Research.
The plasma thesis, they
report, explains an apparent
displacement of the magnetic
field of the earth shown in
cosmic ray measurements
especially the most recent
surveys by the National Re-
search Council of Canada and
the University of Chicago.
These have utilized cosmic
ray neutron counters carried
on ships virtually from Pole

pected. The actual picture
is somewhat different.
Space Conducts Electricity
To explain the difficulty,
DR.. Korff said, I'VE have
found it necessary to assume
that interplanetary space is
a conductor of electricity.
The traditional view is that
the solar system is almost
devoid Of matter except for
such objects as planets and
meteorS. Current astrophysi-
cal thought, however, favors
an interplanetary region
filled with a tenuous gas con-
SiSting mainly of ionized hy-
drogen. If this is correct
then the rotation of the lines
of force of the earth's field
must induce electric currents
in this surrounding inter-
planetary fluid. This process
is the same as that govern
ing the operation of a
dynamo.
According to calculations,
the induced system of cur
rents surrounding the earth
far out results in a magnetic
field of it's own.
In other words. the gradual

Whot Price Glory

This is to congratulate you
upon the publication of the
letter by 1t. Gen. Sturgis,
What Price Glory for Old
Soldiers?" in your issue of
Tuesday, September 2.
The action of the 85th
Congress, which provided two
separate pay classes for re-
tired officers of the armed
forces. established an unjust
situation which should be cor
rected promptly when the
Congress reassembles in Janu-
airy. Your publication of the
letter by Gen. Sturgis should
give material help in secur-
ing a revision of the act
which unjuStly discriminates
against all officers who re-
tired prior to June /, 1858.
There is one further step
in this situation, not COW
cred in the letter which you
published. This is the unfair
discrimination against a rel
atively small group of retired
officers Of the reserve COM
ponents whose records in
clude service prior to No
vember IL. 1918. These re-
tired officers of the reserve
components are paid on a
basis which is not the same
as that of those who were

Bills to correct this injus-
tice were introduced into the
85th Congress, Senate bill
1895 and House bill $50, to

ton Is Of the Pay Readjust-
ment Act of 1912 Csc Stat.
1857. Neither the Senate nor
the House bill was granted a
hearing. and of course did not
reach the floor of either
chamber for a vote.

continue to support the point
of view expressed by Gen.
