Tied Up in Ribbon

In our politically sophisticated en-
vironment there is something appealing
about the ribbon-snipping crisis that
was reported from our neighboring city
of Baltimore.
In Baltimore, and in Maryland at
large, there is an election coming up
this year-a circumstance which often
makes the small episodes in public life
take on important proportions. Posi-
ton, prestige and protocol become mex
tricably entangled in political meaning.
In Baltimore, they became entangled-
more Speciflcally-in ribbon. 1t was not,
literally at least, red tape, but it was
ribbon. 1t was ribbon, stretched SYM
bolically and in fact across an entrance
area leading to the spot where a new
helicopter service was to be inaugu-
rated between our friendly communities.
Governor McKeldin, Republican, had
been invited to cut the ribbon-a cere-
mony roughly equivalent to smashing a
bottle over the bow of a new ship.
Mayor D'Alesandro, Democrat, had been
invited to attend-mistakenly serene in
the impression that he was to be the
ribbon cutter Mr.. D'Alesandro was dis
mayed to learn otherwise-cut to the
quick himself, it might be said To
him, flight from the whole affair was
the only recourse-an alternative from
which he was diSSuaded only when
Governor McKeldin graciouSly surren-
dered the shears.
There was, fortunately, a happy
ending Mayor D'Alesandro cut the rib
bon. Governor McKeldin, bravely ex-
pressing himself as mot disappointed"
thereupon cut the ribbon some more
to provide souvenirs for his friends.
Uneasily, perhaps, bipartiSanship had
triumphed.

Much Smoke, No Fire

The Harris subcommittee has not
produced any evidence to show that
Bernard Goldfine received favored
treatment at the hands of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission. In fact,
as we read the testimony, the SEC bore
down on him rather hard.
This is not circumstance which
necessarily justifies the efforts made in
Mr.. Goldfne's behalf by Sherman Adams
and by Senators Payne of Maine and
Cotton of New Hampshire. On all the
evidence which has been produced to
date, these gentlemen, and Mr. Adams
In particular, would have been well ad-
vised to have kept hands off.
The fact is, however, that the SEC
does not appear to have been influenced
one way or the other. 1t handled the
Goldfine matters slowly, but they were
handled effectively When the facts
show that a Federal regulatory agency
has been derelict in its duty, that dere-
LECTION should be exposed. 1t is also
important, however, to refrain from
undermining confidence in such an
agency when the facts do not show any
dereliction.

Holding the Line

The Commissioners are justified in
trying to hold the line firmly against
higher District taxes, despite the GER
tainty that millions Of dollars more will
be needed to finance pay raises for all
municipal employees. They also are right
in contending that the tax burden al
ready is weighing heavily on local tax
payers and that the time has come for
Congress to carry out its implicit pledge
of a substantial increase in the Federal
payment.
Congress probably will grant raises
to teachers, firemen and policemen as
we'll as to classified and blue collar"
workers, and Senate subcommittee has
approved the Commissioners recon-
mendation of 1872 per cent hike in the
first three categories. This will cost
about $10.4 million-on top Of the $l8
million which Congress already has
voted in pay raises for classified workers
and $1.2 million recently granted to the
blue collar" group.
Against this background, the $50
million authorized by Congress for the
Federal payment is anything but ex-
travagant. And the House action in
repudiating the authorization in favor
of a meager $40 million payment as
SumeS ridiculous aspect. The depreSS-
ing prospect is that even If the full $32
million payment is voted this year, the
District still will be scraping the bottom
of the fiscal barrel for funds with which
to carry out needed programs.
The House should take another look
at the Districts financial plight, in the
light of additional burdens about to be
imposed on the city.

For Aviation Safety

In recommending creation OF Fed
eral Aviation Agency with paramount
authority" over the use of air space,
President Eisenhower has proposed
control system which recent air disasters
have shown to be an urgent necessity.
The loose, cooperative arrangement I'M
der which civilian and military aircraft
have used the Nations airwayS has
proved to be tragically inadequate in
these days of increasing airway conges-
ton. The time has come to invest one
overall Government agency with full
powers to control traffic by all planes,
military as well as commercial.
Such a powerful authority was rec
commended year ago by the Presidents
special assistant on aviation facilities,
Edward P. Curtis. The Curtis report
showed that the rapid development Of
aviation, especially in the jet field, had
outmoded present technical facilities
and organizations for the handling of
air traffic. To improve technical facil-
tiles, the Always determination Board
subsequently was set up. The proposed
Federal Aviation Agency would carry
out the organizational changes urged
by the Curtis group.
1t will take long time to effect the
technical modernization of the Always
needed to improve airway operations
and provide better radar and other safe
guards for planes. But as the President
has pointed out, the reorganization Of
the control system can be accomplished
now-provided Congress concurs. And
the recent midair collision beween an
airliner and National Guard jet near
Brunswick, Maryland, accentuated the
need for quick action to bring military
and civilian aircraft under one center
of control. That tragedy has brought
number of voluntary reforms in mill
tary use of the airwayS. But something
more than voluntary compliance with
safety principles is required to assure
the public of better protection. The
new agency would make compliance
sure and complete-aS it should be.

Fading Summit

II the Russians 90 through with
their apparent threat TO boycott the
technical discussions scheduled TO begin
next week in Geneva, any thought OF
a summit meeting In the foreseeable
future can be quietly laid away.
For these technical talks on means
OF detecting nuclear explosions are an
essential first step toward any agree
ment banning tests and, presumably,
any agreement covering larger area.
The Russians, judging from Mr.. Gro
myko's surprise note. are demanding
a cart-before-t he-horse procedure. They
want the United States to agree TO ban
tests before 1t has been determined
whether an adequate method for de-
tecting violations of the ban can be
set up. or course, we will not and should
not agree to any such condition as this,
and President Eisenhower has made 1t
clear from the beginning that we would
not.
The Russians have known this all
along. Yet as late as last Tuesday Mr..
Gromyko handed our Ambassador in
Moscow a note naming the Czechoslo-
vakian and Polish delegates to the tech
nical meeting. SO the last-minute switch
reflected in yesterdays note can only be
taken as a mark of bad faith. And II
the Russians actually go through with
their threat to boycott the meeting, this
conclusion will have been amply con-
f1rmed
There is reason to doubt that our
own Government really wants to diScon-
tinue nuclear testing at this time or in
the near future. But we were COM
mitted to the technical discussions and
were prepared to go through with them.
If these talks were to result in an agree
ment for an adequate inspection sys-
tenn, it would be very difficult, If not
impossible, for the United States to re-
fuse to proceed with ban on testing,
and the Kremlin, of course, knows this
is true. Therefore, the eleventh-hour
Soviet balk, taken with the latest out
break of anti-Western demonstrations,
can only be construed as meaning that
the SovietS are playing their same old
sinister game. 1t is discouraging, but
that's the way 1t is.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Throwing pearls before
swine. in the old saying, has
many facets. This is one Of
them. People who love COM
munities of people, all to-
gether and Heaven help the
faint and timid, will never
understand the yearning for
privacy.
1t is based, we believe. on
reading.
Now. there has been a great
whooperray-boys in recent
years about reading. We are
told that Johnny can't read,
and that all of us ought to
read faster, faster, faster.
Can it be true?
Not for the lover of his own
privacy.
We are told that we must
no longer read word by word.
Somehow. that is wrong. We
must read whole sentences.
even paragraphs. at a time.
In the old days. we had a
word for that.
Skipping. it was called.
and the reader who skipped.
people thought, was not a
good reader. And we still
think so.
AS for writing. whether in
an ivory tower or standing
on a corner of Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t must be done word
by word.
Sometimes the thoughts
sing, and then the writer
throws a number Of words
together in a hurry and as
tounds himself with how well
they read. But mostly he
must write word by word,
and in this process his whole
attention is demanded. He
does not like to be watched.
It is too much like being
Spied upon. Because here. as
with sleep, no one ever
catches the essence Of the
thing by watching others. It
must come from the heart.
the mind and the soul. all
ones own heart. mind and
soul.
All Offices in which writ
ing of any kind is done
should have the desks ar
ranged so that nobody can
look over the shoulder Of
anybody else. 1t is particu-
larly disconcerting TO the
sensitive to have an associ-
ate so seated that he stares
full face against the side Of
another. In an era Of stress
and strain, some Of the stress
and good deal Of the strain
could be lessened by paying
attention to such matters.

Conservative Democrat
The Democrats in Indiana
have come up with a rather
conservative candidate for
the Senate, seeking the seat
which is being vacated at the
close of the present Congress
by Senator william Jenner.
In so doing they turned their
backs on Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul M.
Butler and picked Mayor
Vance Hartke of Evansville.
who had the support Of for
mer Democratic National
Chairman Frank E. McKin-
ney of Indianapolis. Mr..
Hartke's closest opponent for
the senatorial nomination
was State Senator Marshall
F. Kizer. a Butler man
although Mr.. Butler in his
keynote speech to the Demo-
cratic State Convention
Tuesday did not state a
preference.
There is no love lost be-
tween the Butler and Nc
Kinney factions. However.
the Democrats will endeavor
to close ranks in the fall
campaign, for Indiana's
Senate seat is another which
the Democratic Party is
anxious to pick up from the
Republicans.
Indiana dominates its
senatorial candidates in State
party convention. The Re-
publican convention. which
will be held Friday, is ex-
pected to nominate Repub-
lican Gov. Harold w. Han
dley, a friend of Senator
Jenner, over Russell Bon
TRACER. who has been a State
Senator. Philip Willkie. son
of the late Wendell Willkie.
Republican nominee for
President in 1910. has been
dangling his feet in the sena-
torial waters, but is not ex-
pected to be a candidate
when the convention meets.
Mr.. Hartke, 80 years old, is
an attractive and able cam
paigner. The Republicans at
this stage do not regard this
as an easy battle at all.
