Legion Auxiliary
PanAmerican
Study Club Meet

One of the most interesting
porjects of the American Legion
Auxiliary, is it's Pan American
Study Club.
Very important too, in the
Americanism Program, is the
study of those countries which
make up the organization OF
American States.
The Organization of American
States (OAS) is the oldest and
most successful international or
ganization in the world. It's men,
bers are the Fl Republics of the
Western Hemisphere: Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chilli, Columbia,
Costa RIGA, Cuba, The Dominican
Republic, Ecuador, Ell Salvador,
Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mex
leo, Nicaragua, Panama, Paragua,
Peru, the United States, Uruguay
and Venezuela.
The GAS developed from the
Union of American Republics, es-
tablished by the First Information
al Conference of American States
in 1890, but it's inspiration goes
back to 1926 when Simon Boil
var called the first interna-Amer-
lean conference at Panama City
From 1910 to .1948 the organiza-
ton ~functioned as the Pan Amer
lean Union. At a conference of
Bogota in 1948, the 81 American
Republics created the GAS, with
the Pan American Union serving
as its General Secretariat and
central working agency.
The aims of the GAS are to
strengthen the peace and securi-
ty of the Americas, prevent dis
putes, among the Republics, and
settle them by peaceful means
when they do occur, provide for
joint action by all of the Re-
publics to repel aggression against
any one of them, and promote
the economic, social, and Gull
tural development of the Ameri-
can Republics by cooperative ac-
ton.
The underlying principals of
the GAS can be summed up as
follows: The relations of the
American Republics are governed
by international law and good
faith; the American Republics are
equal in the affairs of the GAS;
No American State may inter
fere in the affairs of another;
disputes are to be settled by
peaceful means and an act of ag-

The next couple of weeks will be Of
great Importance to tie United Jewish
Appeal. Its 1858 objective is to raise
500 million. The hope is that the drive
here in Washington will succeed in con-
tributing $2.5 million to the total being
sought. The goal of the local effort is
twofold: 81 million to help finance the
transportation and settlement Of 10000
individuals scheduled to migrate to
Israel this year from countries like
Hungary, Poland and Egypt; and SIS
million to support the UJAs regular
program Of Offering food and medical
aid to thousands Of other Jews in North
Africa and Europe who urgently need
such aid while waiting to be resettled.
This is an undertaking that adds
up to the best kind of humanitarian
work. AS far as Washington Is con-
cerned, the UJA campaign is already
gathering steam, and it will enter upon
its most intensive phase between April
20 and May /. Given the support 1t de-
serves, it should be every bit as success
ful as its directors hope, and all who
contribute to it will have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that their generosity
will be Of vital help where help is sorely
needed.

Trial by Jury

= The last paragraph Of letter from
Senator Morse, printed elsewhere on
this page, is gratuitous misrepresenta-
ton Of fact. Throughout the debate on
the civil rights bill, The Star consistently
supported, and continues to support, full
protection Of all voting rights without
the impairment Of other valued rights.
In We still believe that Congress should
Nave authorized jury trials in all, not
Just In some, criminal contempt cases
arising under the civil rights law. To
suggest, as Senator Morse does, that this
might permit lawful court orders to be
4outed is reflection of lack Of con-
adence in the jury system which we do
not share. We believe with Justice
Hack that the exclusion of juries in
criminal contempt proceedings seems
inconsistent with the most rudimentary
principles Of our system of criminal
Justice. ="
Congress saw At to authorize jury
trials in civil rights cases In which the
penalty exceeds As days in jail or q
$500 fine. Where is the logic in denying
fury trials II the penalty should be A
days in Jail or 1929 fine? We hope

ings. without a jury, but with
the ample projections OF re-
view by Federal courts OF
Appeal and the Supreme
Court.
Let us remember that the
Jury trial" issue in the civil
rights debate concerned ade-
quate projections for the civil
rights Of Negroes and other
minority groups as citizens.
! argued-as the court has
held once again-that there
was no constitutional require
ment for a jury trial for those
who violated Federal court
orders to remedy infringe
ment Of constitutional rights.
The Star can see only the
nonexistent rights" of de-
PENDANTS who decline to honor
court orders issued to help
Negroes obtain their consti-
tutional rights as citizens.
Yet The Star cares little for
the rights of the Negroes who
have been denied full rights
for decades throughout the
country. This is only further
evidence that The Star has a
bias OF its own.

With Britain's Parliament, like our
own Congress, taking spring recess,
Conservative Party leaders are engaged
in a thoughtful reappraisal Of the
party's political position. Some Of the
signs are disquieting, foremost being
rather steady erosion of popularity as
indicated by the by-election barometer.
In the three most recent of these tests,
the Conservatives lost that many seats
In Commons In thirteen by-elections
over the past year, their total popular
vote was reduced by more than 100000.
1t is not unusual, of course, for a
party In power to lose interim elections
as the pendulum of popularity tends to
swing away from the Gins" But the
breadth of the Conservative losses, on a
geographical basis, indicates that their
weakening Is widespread and not ex-
planned by local factors or candidates.
Accompanying this evidence is realiza-
ton also that even in districts normally
unfriendly to the Labor Party there has
been a significant revival in strength Of
the Liberal Party
Winning only six seats in the 1855
general elections, the Liberals have in
dicated that they will contest at least $50
in the nationwide voting expected late
next year or early 1860. There Is no
belief that they will win a substantial
number, but there is genuine fear that
they may take enough votes away from
Conservative candidates to bring the
LaboriteS back to power. Several Of the
Labor by-election victories showed this
shifting to third force" and the Lib
erals themselves picked up one of the
seats.
With these cross-currents at work,
reorganization Of the Conservative Party
leadership, and perhaps revision Of some
of the governments policies, may take
place in the coming months.

Pentoqon 'Goq Rule

Defense Secretary McElroy has been
accused of clamping gag rule" on his
subordinateS, and that, in a sense, is
what he has done. On the whole, how
ever, it seems to us that it was a rather
sensible thing to do.
After speech at the National Press
Club, Mr.. McElroy was asked how far a
military officer could go in opposing the
Presidents defense reorganization plan.
The Secretary was primed for this one
with written answer.
He said, in substance, that military
and civilian members of the defense
establishment should not 60 around
making public speeches, in their official
capacities, in opposition to the program.
He also said, however, that officials Of
the Defense Department teStifying be-
fore Congress are required" to give
frank and full answers to questions
asked them.
This strikes us as being an attitude
which makes sense. With the President
and Commander in Chief firmly COM
mitted to this reorganization program,
1t would be absurd to have General X
running around the country making
stump speeches against it, while Cen
eral Y makes stump speeches for it.
The proper forum for study of this plan,
and for the airing Of views for and
against it, is in Congress. The legiSla-
tors, and through them the people, have
every right to the honest opinions of
the people in the Pentagon, and Mr..
McElroy's statement, as we read it, APP
parently imposes no gag on the express
sion Of such opinions. If this is the
case, there is no reason for anyone to
be tearing his hair and shouting Gag
rule"
This. comment is subject, however, to
one reservation. Mr.. McElroy, in saying
that witness before congressional COM
mitteeS should testify frankly and fully,
also said that the witness should do this
with consideration of his position as
a member of the defense organization
which is commanded by the President"
This Is an ambiguous statement,
with threatful implications. Mr.. McElroy
ought to clarity 1t. II he does not do so,
he should be summoned by Congress as
the first witness and called upon to
explain exactly what 1t means.

Your editorial. Service
Pay Gimmick," If anything.
applies even more so to re-
tired enlisted men. Many re-
tired enlisted men are up in
years and physically incap-
able Of performing gainful
employment and are conse-
quently dependent entirely
upon their retired pay for a
livelihood. inadequate though
1t may be Gin some cases less
than is considered a bare

authorities on the subject.

the comparison is not apt.
Once a civil servant retires.
the Government has no

The catchword Of the serv-
ices in the past has been "Give
me your youth and we will
take care of you in your old
age and infirmity." But under
the present House bill this
doesn't seem to be the case
any more. II would appear
that the military retirees in
the future are to be the
forgotten men Of America!
The various services fire.
quently ask retirees to help
sell the idea Of military
careers to the young and

hardly encouraging the youth
Of our land TO embark on
military careers, especially II
they know in advance that
the ground rules may be
changed after they are irrev-
ocably committed to such
careers. II 1t can happen to
the ones already retired. 1t

Jubilee Joy

The National Press Club is having
its golden jubilee dinner tonight and
Joy threatens to be unconfined. II so,
it will be fully in keeping with the So
year record Of this lusty organization in
which the habits Of hard work and
Of hard play have fiourished happily
together.
It is safe to say there is no other
club In the world quite like the National
Press Club. Those which may resemble
1t are not as big. Those that are as big
do not resemble 1t. In its own peculiar
way, the Press Club is perhaps the
Number One Communications Center
for the world. AS all quarters Of the
globe have been drawn closer together
over the years, so has the Press Club
become more and more the workshop
where the news Of war or peace, Of
prosperity or depression, Of politics or
private life, has been exchanged, ana
lyzed and made ready for the public
records. The Press Club is town
crier," speaking through the clacking
typewriters of 1000 active-member,
working newsmen and the added voices
Of another $500 members whose pro-
LESSONS range from A to 2.
The Press Club has reason to be
proud of this professional performance
in spreading the word" 1t has reason
to be proud, and perhaps slightly over
come at its own economic health as
owner Of the Capitals tallest building
and budget that has the comfortable
bulge Of seemingly permanent prosper
ity, One secret of this success may have
been the rule proposed so years ago by
J. Russell Young, one Of the early mem
bers: mo credit" For when 1t went on
a cash basis, the new Press Club sue
ceeded where previous attempts failed.
SO the Press Club and its members have
reason to be joyful on this jubilee, and
to receive the confident predictions Of
friends from everywhere that the next
nifty years will be even better.

as people. look up to a ma
ton that demonstrates its
strength. Some nations 60 to
war to do this. but the United
States Is not a war-making
country. Instead, we should
take a firm stand on all polit-
ical matters. as well as mill
tary. The United States will
give anything to keep peace.
Our enemies know that. That

but surely toward their goal.
A quick, warlike effort would
ruin their plans by making
people see their real inten-
tons. Instead. they are. as
inconspicuously as possible,
taking our friends from us.
and the countries from our

the United States to throw of
the shackles Of timidness and
stand flrm on its policies and
beliefs. II we are afraid to
do this. just remember that
the Communists will not be
satisfied by the little bit we
give in. They will want a
little more. then a little more

Parental Responsibility

The English-language newspaper,
Moscow News, recently carried an article
commenting on what the writer called
the low rate of juvenile delinquency in
Russia as compared with that In the
United States. With due allowance for
the propagandiStic nature Of the article,
there is nevertheless an interesting dis
closure as to how Soviet authorities con-
troll youthful lawleSsnesS. They delegate
the job to the parentS-and hold them
legally responsible" for doing the job
well.
According to the author of the ar
ticle, one v. TadevoySan, chief Of the
civil law section of the Law Institute of
the Academy Of Sciences, the threat of
state punishment hanging over parents
Of children who get into serious trouble
is very effective in strengthening home
discipline. He pointed out that parents
not only can be punished for offenSes
committed by their children but can be
held liable for damages. They even
can be deprived Of parental rights for
neglect of parental es"-presumably
meaning that their children may be
taken away from them. Punishment OF
the children themselves is regarded as
Of merely incidental Importance" the
article stated.
The Soviet methods of dealing with
the juvenile crime problem, however
effective they may be, would not At
in well with the American scheme Of
things, Of course. But, II the Russian
figures on delinquency can be believed,
American parents have 1t in their power
to do a great deal more than they are
doing to curb juvenile gangsterism and
hoodlumism. Many authorities, includ-
ing FBI Director Hoover, have attributed
the rise in juvenile delinquency to
breakdown Of discipline In the home.
Parents who shirk their disciplinary
responsibilities cannot escape a large
share of blame If their children become
entangled with the law.

Schools and Equality

You are right in your edi-
torial, Schools and Equal
ity," that bright students
should be given special OPP
portunities by schools to make
full use Of their talents.
However, you are sadly wrong
in assuming that educators
are opposed to that view.
More than so years ago
educators pointed out the
mistake Of neglecting to pro-
vide for those capable Of
learning faster than the ma
jority. Early in the present
century schools began to ad-
just their organizations to
the individual differences Of
pupils. The public schools Of
Pueblo. Colo. for example, at
that time promoted pupils
individually instead of by
groups. Since then nearly
all school systems have recog-
nized the importance of adj
justing the instruction to the
individual abilities to learn.
That adjustment involves, of
course, special attention to
the most intelligent.
1t would be dificult to find
any significant number of
offended pedagogues" who
you say have attacked the
establishment of special
classes for brighter pupils.
Ask school superintendent
and principals, teachers and
educators whether they
are opposed to such classes
where conditions will per-
init them. You probably
will not find one in a hun
dred who Is so opposed.
Educators do not expect
their professional work to be
exempt from criticism by
laymen. The public schools
belong to all. and those per-
sons directing them should
always be ready to consider
suggestions from any source
for their improvement. But
precautions should be taken
to prevent the current food
Of ignorant and irresponsible
complaints about schools
from doing too much harm.

We should like to express
our profound thanks for and
intense support Of your edi-
torial entitled Schools and
Equality"
