On Crossing BRIDGES

One of the witnesses who testified
at the concluding session Of the Senate's
hearings on the bill to modify the Su-
preme Court ruling in the Mallory case
said that the legislation, II passed,
might be struck down by the court on
constitutional grounds.
This, of course, is a possibility. 1t is
also bridge which need not be crossed
at this time, and which ought not to
be crossed until 1t Is reached.
The Mallory decision was not based
on constitutional ground. 1t was based
on Rule (a) of the Federal Rules Of
Criminal Procedure. This rule, q rule
of evidence, calls for arraignment with
out unnecessary delay, and the court
held this requirement was not satisfied
in the Mallory case. The result was the
release of q convicted land clearly
guilty. rapist.
The legislation which has been
passed by the House and which is now
under consideration by Senator 'O'Mah-
oney's subcommittee would modify the
Mallory rule by providing that mere
delay in arraignment, In and Of itself,
would not be sufflcient to invalidate a
voluntary confession.
What the Supreme Court might do
with this in some future case is anyone's
guess. 1t should be pointed out, how
ever, that other witnesses before the
oMahoney bcommittee-fully compe-
tent witneSSes-have testified that the
legislation is not unconstitutional. It
should also be pointed out that the
Supreme Court has never held that q
delay In arraignment, which of itself did
not amount to coercion, is a violation
of any constitutional right. On the con-
trary, the court, In many State cases,
where the constitutional issue was pres
ent, has not been willing to invalidate
confessions merely because Of delay in
arraignment unless the delay was Of
such duration as to have a coercive
effect.
II the pending legislation is passed
1t cannot be struck down by the court
on constitutional grounds without bring
ing all of the States within the scope
of the ruling. For our part, we doubt
that the court viii do this. But in any
event, this Is q question for the future.
What is needed now is legislation to
relieve the very serious obstruction Of

Teacher Pay

The Teachers Advisory
Council of the d. c. Public
Schools wishes to make a
last appeal to the congress
sional committee handling
teacher salary legislation for
the enactment of a more
generous salary scale than
either Of those recently ap-
proved by the House and
Senate. The scale proposed
by the Board Of Education is
the minimum which should be
enacted into law. No one has
questioned the need or the
Justice Of this schedule; the
Commissioners have opposed
it on the ground that the
District cannot afford" it.
We do not agree with this
contention of the Commits
sioners. Washington, as the
Capital Of the United States,
is the Capital of the most
affiuent society yet known to
history. What the Commits
sioners mean is not that the
District cannot afford to sup
port its public schools but
that their preference is to
keep public school expendi-
lures at a minimum sub
sistence level.
When one considers the
many serious problems facing
the District school system
and the continuing shortage
of qualified teachers it would
seem that it is not the time
for false economy. A report
recently issued by the Insti-
tute Of Administrative Re-
search. eachers College,
Columbia University, shows
conclusively that there is a
direct relationship between
the amount Of money spent
for schools and the quality
of the education which re-
suits. The problems Of

United Charity

1 wish to make several
observations as q physician
concerning the controversy
over a united charity cam
paign versus separate fund
campaigns.
The American Medical As
ISOLATION Endorsed the sepa-
rate fund campaign on the
grounds that the united
charity campaign made little
or no provision for research.
Actually the ANA would like
to channel all public funds
collected through solicitation
or taxation into research
rather than service to people.
The ANA fears that a united
charity program might foster
and finance medical care pro-
grams. Such activity, the
ANA alleges, leads to some
intangible known as "sociali-
cation" which destroys some
thing even more intangible
known as "the doctor-patient
relationship" This attitude
toward group purchase of
medical care was well il
Illustrated in the concerted at
tack by the ANA on the
Forand bill designed to pro-
vide medical services to the
aged under the Social Secu-
rity Act.
Today. the objective Of O
charity program should be
to help the individual.
Federal funds for research
grants in disease fields are
ample to meet the needs. For
example. in fiscal year 1859
FEDERAL research grants
available for cancer rose to
approximately SIS million;
mental health, $50 million:
heart, $45 million, and on
down the line. Several re-
search workers have COM
mented that research funds
in certain disease fields in
their opinion have reached
such a proportion that addi-
tional funds cannot be used
productively-that a maxi
mum speed limit also exists
in research efforts.
The pooling Of funds into
q united charity program will
eliminate duplication of adj
ministrative and numerous
service costs, will permit
placing money In areas of
greatest need. and will as
sumo the proper role Of help
to the individual In distress.

With reference to your edi-
torial of July ~. Surprise
in Cambodia." may I -sug-
gest that there is nothing
either inscrutable or surpris-
ing about Cambodia's recog-
milton of the Peoples Re-
public Of China? In fact. the
only surprising thing about
the establishment Of regular
diplomatic relations between
Cambodia and her huge
northern neighbor is that
recognition was not granted
long ago; every other neutral
nation in Asia land even two
members of SEATOD has
had diplomatic relations with
China for some years.
Moreover, recognition of
Peoples China by Cambodia
is the logical consequence of
recent events in Southeast
Asia. Cambodia is sand
wiched in between two
understandable pro-Western
states. 1t is In part because
Of this difficult geographical
position and our intense de-
sire to dispel any suspicion
and to avoid threat and &C
cusation that we have post
poned our recognition of
China. In spite Of our good
intentions and our strict neu-
trality, our frontiers have

There are three or four
possible ways In which an
atomic or hydrogen bomb
explosion might AFFECT
weather. The major ones
are:
1. Cloud seeding - flling
the atmosphere with minute
dust particles around which
rain droplets can form.
2. Changing. the electric
pattern Of the atmosphere
with an excess Of radioactive
particles.
3, Reducing the amount Of
sunshine reaching the
earth's surface by stilling the
atmosphere with dust clouds.
u. 8. Weather Bureau ex-
perts have analyzed these
from every possible angle,
especially In view Of the In
creased number Of COM
plants received Of late due
TO the quite abnormal
weather Of the Eastern United
States this year. Many APP
parently believe the bomb
explosions in the Pacific and
Russian test explosions are
the chief cause Of uncom-
Portable cold, heat and rain.
The work has been assigned
chiefly TO the bureaus spe-
cial projects section headed
by Or. L. Machta.
Findings Negative
Their findings to date are,
in brief. that there is very
little evidence Of anything
but the slightest local asso-
citation between bombs and
weather. Most obvious Of the
alleged effects would be that
due to cloud seeding. Within
the past few years techniques
have been evolved Of deliber-
ate cloud seeding which have
had some effect and offer the
most likely prospects at pres
ent that weather actually can
be changed by man.
Ordinary air coptains myr-
lads of tiny dust particles.
Around these the water vapor
in the atmosphere tends TO
condense as water dropletS,
when the humidity gets high
enough. But there usually are
so many particles present and
the available moisture is di-
vided among so many drop

densation process to fall as

it is a national language.

French is a major Western
