Dan and I feel we will really
make q great team. We have
been going cut together ever
since we were kids and we have
the best times together. When
we 60 out with others We are
always uncomfortable and the

our quarrels but we always

Truth and Food

Ammunition for a double barreled
attack on Communist propaganda and
oppression is being assured through a
Embarrassing campaign currently being
conducted among Federal employees This
is the annual drive in behalf of the
Crusade for Freedom and OF CARE.
President Eisenhower succnctly summed
up the important detectives of the cam
paign when he said in message to civil
and military personnel: "Our support OF
this crusade is direct evidence to the
peoples Of the world of our personal in
tereSt in their hopes and welfare. 1t
will provide food for the hungry every
where and truth to the oppressed behind
the Iron Curtain"
Last year Government employees in
the Washington area alone contributed
more than $4,000 for this truth and
food" crusade. The money was enough
to provide more than $50 hours of
broadcasting over Radio Free Europe
and $4,000 CARE surplus food packages
to hungry people overseas The barrage
of facts and food has proved highly eff
fective In countering the Reds big lie"
technique and in winning friends for the
United States abroad Thus, the project
is one which merits support.

No KremIin Puppet

President Tito has been quick 10
make clear at the current congress OF
the Yugoslav Communist Party that he
and his country are not going 10 be In
undated into kowtowing TO the Krem-
lin. He has done this In polite and re-
strained language, but he has left no
room for doubt as TO his meaning. In
effect. he has told Premier Khrushchev
that Yugoslavia-iust as in Stains day
intends TO keep on being its own mas
ter and that no political, economic or
other pressures from Moscow will mod
ify Its resolve in that respect.
Moreover, driving home the point
with blunter language, Yugoslav Vice
President Rankovic has warned the So
Wet government and its puppet regimes
behind the Iron Curtain against Sharp
ening the old and rusty weapon OF the
Cominform" in renewed effort to force
Yugoslavia to surrender Its independ-
ence to the Kremlin. Certainly, as both
Marshal Tito and Mr.. Rankovic have
intimated. that sort OF pressure under
Stain accomplished nothing but a COM
plete break between Belgrade and Mos
COW, and II 1t is tried again, the same
kind OF trouble will ensue.
Even before the "heretical" Yugo-
Slsv Communists began to convene this
week. the Kremlin-together with It's
satellite ollowers-demonstra its dis
taste for Marshal Tito's nonconformism
by ostentatiously refusing to send an
official delegation to his party congress.
But 1t allowed its ambassador to attend
as an observer" along with the ambas-
sailors from its branch offlces in places
like Prague and Bucharest. Now, how
ever, all these observers" having staged
an indignant walkout during Mr.. RAN
kovic'S speech, are boycotting the event,
thus dramatizing the fact that rela-
tons between Belgrade and Moscow
despite the Khrushchev-B ulganin mis-
sion OF apology few years ago-seem
to be getting to be about as bad as they
were when Marshal Tito broke with
Stain in 1913.
The root cause Of this trouble, OF
course, Is the same now as 1t was then
namely, that YugoSlavia, though run by
an avowedly Communist government,
refuses to be a lackey OF the Krem-
lin. Instead, very admirably, 1t insists
upon being self-respecting, independ-
ent nation. This is something, inciden-
tally, that should sober those Americans
in and out Of CongreSs-who have re-
Gently been saying that President Tito is

Foreorminq in ARLINGTON

Despite the evidence to the con-
trary, We find II diff1cult to believe
that Governor Almond will close public
schools If indignation comes to Airing
ton County. Yet this may happen, and
those who want the schools kept open
are well-advised in starting now to pre-
pare their tactics and strategy.
There is every probability that some
integration, under Federal court order,
will hit Arlington during the coming
school year. At the outset, at least, 1t
will be on very limited scale. But any
Indignation will bring into play the State
laws designed to maintain segregated
schools, and it is conceivable that those
schools which may be integrated will be
cloSed-at least for a time.
In our opinion, public sentiment in
Arlington will prove to be overwhelm-
ingly opposed to the closing Of any
schools But public sentiment, in the
absence of careful preparatory work, is
not necessarily an effective force. This
being so, the Arlington County Coun-
Gil Of Parent-Teacher Associations has
acted wisely in voting to establish a
special committee to study all legal
means OF keeping schools open, or of
promptly reopening any schools which
may be closed. Once schools have been
cloSed-if they should be closed-it will
be too late for effective planning and
preparation. The time for this Is now.

Tribute to q Newsmon

1t was entirely fitting that the As

have keyed its tribute to Mr.. McLean's
lifelong devotion to "a factual, nonpar-

the AP for 20 years at the time OF his
resignation last October. They we're
difficult years, spanning two wars and
witnessing the emergence of trying
problems for the cooperative, nonprofit

certainly, is the truest measure of his
stewardship

however, ran the Genital thread of dedi-
cation to honest reporting. 1t is this

Time for q HEARING
II Is dime for the HnI,

1t Is time for the House Interior
Committee to begin hearings on the
long-Stalled bill to create national
historical park along the upper reaches
OF the old Chesapeake g. Ohio canal.
The canal and the adjacent Potomac
River are In attractive springtime garb,
Turing fishermen, canoeistS, mixers and
nature lovers generally. All OF these
leisure Sportsmen" are potential wit
neSSes In favor Of the pending legisla-
ton. Why not give them or their repre-
sentativeS an opportunity to express
their views on the park proposal?
The Senate already has approved
the measure, under which the National
Park Service would be authorized TO
acquire up to $4,000 acres OF land along
the l65-mile canal stretch from Great
Falls to Cumberland. The canal itself
became Federal property in 1898. The
park plan, sponsored by Maryland's
Senator Beall and Representative Hyde,
Is designed Ito preserve the historic and
scenic values" of the canal by restoring
and preserving some of the old works
and making available to the public rec
reation areas between the canal and the
river
Some opposition to the project has
been raised by commercial interests on
the upper parts of the river However,
the Interior Department has indicated
that 1t would be willing to work out an
agreement exempting certain "impor-
tant" industrial and agricultural areas
from Federal jurisdiction. We hope
that both sides will be given an early
hearing by the Interior subcommittee
to which the Beall-Hyde measure has
been aSsigned-and that the House will
receive from the full committee a report
that will assure passage Of the legisla-
ton.

Israel at the Age of 10

An atmosphere OF tension and in
security still surrounds Israel today as
1t marks the 10th anniversary OF It's
4 founding as a modern state. This I'M
Z ease in its environment, this general
condition Of tautness and uncertainty
throughout the Strategically crucial area
in which it finds itself, stems largely
from the fact that its Arab neighbors
I'm the Middle East are not yet reconciled
to either the reality or propriety Of It's
existence.
Indeed protesting to fear Israel as
an aggressive intruder, most of these
MoSlem nationS+-apparently sincerely
convinced that they are right-con-
tinue TO call for its liquidation. More
than that, in the years since its forma-
ton, they have grown increasingly less
friendly to the Western powers, partic-
ularly the United States, for having
helped with its birth and given 1t large
scale support ever since.
Yet, despite all this, and despite
the Ben-Gurion governments misguided
and ill-Starred adventure against Egypt,
the fact remains land 1t is a highly i'm
pressive fact) that Israel has achieved
great things since 1t came into being
10 years ago. Politically, economically
and ENTHUSIASTICALLY in terms OF
its amazing agricultural and industrial
growth, and its action in opening up a
promising new life for hundreds of
thousands OF homeless and prosecuted
Jews-it has set striking example OF
progress under a system of freedom.
Moreover, by its attainments in that
respect, it has demonstrated that the
same sort of human advance could be
made throughout the entire Middle East
II only there were definitive peace set
Element in that sorely troubled region.
Unhappily, as matters now stand,
the outlook for such settlement seems
about as dim as it has ever BEEN Never
theleSs, although this casts pail over
what could otherwise be a completely
joyous anniversary for the young Jew
ish state-which Ambassador Eban once
aptly described as spiritual adven-
ture"-there is good ground for hope.
And the nope is this: That the Arabs
and the Israelis will yet succeed in sub
ordinating passion to reason and nego-
tate peace under which they will live
and thrive together as good neighbors,
with neither side questioning the others
right to existence.
