International Links

ScottiSh-American relations may end
up "in the rough" this week if golfers
Eisenhower and Macmillan have time
for a round at nearby Burning Tree.
The buildup for the match already has
started, with indications that war of
nerves" strategy is being followed by
both Of the prominent internationalists.
The Scottish British Prime Min
lister, for example, has pronounced him
self well pleased" after shooting a neat
81 on one Of ScotlandS rain-drenched
courses. BY itself, this might scare off
a lot Of opponents, but our own White
House champion-almost like military
tactician-is taking advantage Of the
publicized score to start haggling over
a handicap. Noting some Scottish boasts
that their man Is to strokes better
than ours, the Eisenhower managers
have indicated that he will demand a
few strokes before the first ball is lost.
OF course, as a good host at this
sort Of summit conference, Mr.. EiSen-
hover may feel that few judiciously
missed puts would be small concession
to make on behalf of ScottiSh-Amerlcan
solidarity.

Wrong Location

There has been general agreement
that the proposed National Cultural
Center could be placed appropriately
either on the Mall or in the Foggy Bot
tom area. There has been disagreement,
however, over the Smithsonian Institu-
TONS plan to build a great National Air
Museum on the Mall, just south of the
National Gallery of Art. The move in
Congress, therefore, to authorize the
Mall site for the Air Museum and Foggy
Bottom for the Cultural Center will
Arts Commission is on record against
the museum on the Mall, on the ground
that the location would be more appro-
pirate for an arts center. We agree.
On the other hand, the National
Capital Planning Commission has IA
vored the proposal to put the Air Mu-
scum on the Mall. 1t presumably
became committed to this plan after it
had helped to persuade the Smithsonian
Institution to abandon its original plan
to spread the museum athwart the pro-
posed Southwest Mall development
along 10th street. But the shift of loca-
ton on the Mall, while ending conflict
with the Southwest Redevelopment pro-
gram, pre-empted site which the Fine
Arts Commission long had envisioned
for building devoted to the arts in
some form. And the Mall site would
allow little room for future expansion
of the Air Museum, which will surely
grow in size If current and future air
craft are to be included as they become
obsolete or historic" .---...
We still think it would be mistake
to reStricbthe Air Museum to a site that
may limit the growth of its collection
and we hope that Congress will give
further consideration to this phase of
the problem.

Keep the Big Hammer

The Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, recommending new authorize
ton of SO billion for mutual security
purposes in the coming year, presented
some persuasive arguments in support
of this 10-year program. They will be
debated and analysed at length before
this controversial issue clears Congress.
But perhaps the most striking pas
sage in the committee report was the
smile offered in rebuttal to those who
have criticized mutual security expendi-
lures on grounds of misuse here and
there, while failing to propose an effec-
tive or essential alternative The COM
mittee said: But carpenter does not
throw away hammer simply because
from time to time he may miss nail
and hit his thumb Nor does he
trade it for smaller hammer. If he
did so, his mistakes would hurt less, but
1t would take longer to drive the nail
and 1t might not be possible to drive
the nail at all"
The mutual security hammer" I'M
doubtedly has missed "the nail" at some
points in building the structure of free
world alliances and even less formal
relationships. But If the work had not
been undertaken at all, or If the scar
penter" had quit whenever he hit his
thumb, there may have been precious
little shelter existing today for those
who wish to live in a house of safety
and freedom.

Kind Words, but =.

Within recent weeks President Tito
Of Yugoslavia has been on the receiving
end of savage verbal attacks from Pei
ping, Moscow and every other Commu-
mist capital behind the Iron Curtain.
All of sudden, however, on his seth
birthday, he has had sent to him
surprisingly cordial message of congrat-
ulations from Nikita KhruShchev, who
has wished him happiness and expressed
the hope that "fraternal" and "com-
radely" ways will be found to overcome
existing misunderstanding" between
Tito'S independence minded MarxiSt
government and all the conforming Red
regimes elsewhere.
To put it mildly, this constitutes
an interesting change in temper On its
face, it suggests that the recently re-
vived assault on the "heretical' Yugo-
Slav CommuniStS-an assault in some
ways as unreStrained as in Stains time
lis not going to be carried to a Sta
iiniSt extreme. Still, as If to contradict
the Soviet Premier'S kind words, the
kremlin now has announced that 1t is
once again ''postponing" time for
five years-any action on its commit
ment to help Belgrade with credits
amounting to $685. million. Thus Mos
COW appears to be employing the honey
OF sentimental theological talk and the
vinegar Of economic reprisal in an EFFORT
to lure Marshal Tito back into the fold.

,Worninq of Big Brother

Reorganization of industrial man
agement in the Soviet Union, a project
personally promoted last year by Pre-
mier Khrushchev, appears to have run
across a few unforeseen shoals. Al
though the trouble has not been pub
Hcized in detail, a report in Pravda
indicates that the regional economic
councils which replaced a more highly
centralized government system of su-
perviSion are not behaving like one big,
happy industrial family. They are, it
seems, more interested in producing for
their own regions, or at most in CO.
operating only with neighboring areas,
than with serving the national interest.
This has left some of the republics at
disadvantage, inadequately supplied
with products manufactured elsewhere
and even some essential raw materials.
In the first instance, the government
attempted to correct this imbaIance by
offering bonuses for good inter regional
shipments. When this incentive plan
failed to overcome the problem, the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet issued
a decree stating that failure to deliver
goods to other regions or to the national
government would be considered fla
grant violation of state discipline" in
volving criminal responsibility" Harsh
punishment, especially for second Of
lenses, was promised where local officials
seemed unable to grasp the overrid-
ing Importance of filling their delivery
quotas.
This sort of "big brother" man
agement function is quite different, of
course, from the system in our own
country. But it also is true that our
industrial managers are always quite
ready to ship their products wherever
they can find market. This may be
a sort of hit-or-misS dependence upon
"decadent" capitalist incentive, but it
takes that much worry off the shoulders
OF the 'presidium" in Washington.

For Better Service

Viewed broadly, the postal pay-and-
rate bill signed by President Eisenhower
is constructive legislation, despite some
provisions properly regarded by the Pres
ident as Objectionable. On the credit
side is the fact that Congress finally has
voted substantial increases in rates in
an effort to reduce the enormous annual
postal deficits. And pay of most postal
workers will be raised to enable them
better to cope with higher living costs.
The precedent thus is set for similar
increase in classified pay.
But the Presidents objections to GER
tain policies affecting pay and rates are
well founded For the legislation would
further unbalance an already unbal-
anced pay structure and, more drastic
still, would establish wholly new basis
for budgeting some postal services.
The pay schedule to be set up under
the new law, for example, would dis
criminate unfairly against postal en-
ployeS in the more responsible positions.
Lower salaried workers would receive
the full 10 per cent increase in pay, but
employees in important supervisory posts
would receive much less or nothing at
ALL Yet the general idea behind the pay
increases presumably was to help all
postal workers meet the high cost of
living.
Even more questionable is the laws
Sleight-o trick of reducing the
annual postal deficit (now running close
to $7O0 million) through the strange
device Of charging certain special postal
services, such as the rural star route
deliveries, to the Treasury's general fund
instead Of to the Post ONCE Depart
ment. Mr.. Eisenhower stressed that this
financial maneuver is CLEARLY in error
and without precedent" There is no
question, of course, as to the determine
ton Of Congress over the years to sub
Sidize certain mail services as essential
to the public welfare, but the losses
incurred by these nonself- supporting
services ought to be included in the
postal deficit, as a matter of honest
bookkeeping.
AS it is, the higher postage rates
provided in the legislation Expected to
bring in about $3.50 million additional
revenues) still will fall short of meeting
the annual deficit, even without the
extra cost of the $685. million in pay
raises. And the Governments financial
burdens will be hiked further when-as
is certain-Congress enactS similar pay
increases for classified employees. AS a
matter of simple equity, however, Con-
gress can do no less for the classified
personnel than it has done for the postal
EMPLOYEES.

Gifted and Unqifted

The pedagogical nom
sense" that it is undemo-
cratic to give special school
ing to gifted students may
arise from confusion over the
meaning of equality. In this
country we say all men are
equal. We mean by this that
all men have. or should have,
equal rights and opportunities
or that all men are equal in
the sight of God. The phrase
does not mean that all men
are equal, in the ordinary
sense of the word. A farmer
is very different from a
carpenter and both are not
the same as an atomic phys
iciSt. Further confusion arises
from the common feeling that
if two men are not equal, one
is somehow better than the
other. If, on the other hand,
we say that two men are
different, then this value
inference is not made. Words
like ''undemocratic" and
equality" are so charged
with a variety of emotional
meanings that it is difficult
to use them for clear COM
munication or reasoning.
Conversely they are useful
words for the pedagogue who
wishes to rationalize or dis
guise his actions and reasons.
1t is not "undemocratic"
for educators to recognize
that students are unequal,
i.e., are different in many
ways. Similarly it would seem
obvious that different persons
require different schooling,
both in type and amount.
1t is surely more democratic
to allow a gifted student the
opportunity to develop his
abilities than it is to force
all students to a common
level of mediocrity.

ArIinqton Schools

In The Evening Star ar
ticle of May % entitled "ABC
Names Urbanske for County
Board Race" it is noted that
Mr.. Urbanske stated that
Arlington's most urgent and
pressing problem is preserv-
ing our public schools" and
his approach to the school
situation would be to fight
for keeping schools open even
though a State law would
close them if they are inte-
grated by Federal Court
order"
Possibly it is Mr.. Urban
skies inexperience in county
and State matters that gives
him the erroneous idea that
as a county board member
he can decide State laws. He
is a candidate for the wrong
office, he should have run
for the General Assembly. AS
the law now stands only one
of ABC's favorite organiza-
tions, the NAACP, can close
our schools. Parents of Ar
lington need not again be
fooled with the bugaboo that
only ABC can save their
children'S rightful heritage,
a good education. Our Demo-
cratic Governor will guaran-
tee our children and all Vir-
ginians the best of every
thing and no local political
power-seeking group such as
the ABC can change this one
iota.

compensate him enough out

can he not. as an educator,

the school board duties and
the county board duties. or
is he seeking more power

Answers Acheson

There comes a time in the
life Of each thoughtful
American citizen, when to
remain behind his accus-
toned curtain of silence is
apostasy. Up went my cur
tain when I read in your
paper of May 26 the words
Of former Secretary of State
Dean Acheson: 1.-THE govern
ment (this administration
is incapable of truth :.
the American people have
been bewitched into believ-
ing an obviously aging and
incapacitated man was fit
to carry on the most merci-
lessly exacting Office in the
world" These words are
Strikingly reminiscent and
true of the last administra-
ton Of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Mr.. Acheson is
suffering from either am
nesia, administration wise, or
from a guilt complex; in any
event, from responsibility.
The present world situa-
ton is indeed disturbing. No
less disturbing is the state of
affairs in our beloved Nation.
I would remind Mr.. Acheson,
our former President Harry
S. Truman and all thoughtful
fellow citizens that it is not
possible to have arrived at
our present situation over
night. We are but reaping
the wild wind from former
years of some incapable men
in high Office who did not
and do not las witness the
mouthings of our former
President and former Secre-
tary of State) revere the
good of the Nation above
party politics.
We are proud Of our two
party system which permits
a change of administration.
1t is not possible to have an
administration which does
not err, and intelligent, con-
structive criticism of policy is
a healthful thing. Many cit
liens are aghast, however, at
the "give 'em hell" pattern
of criticism so frequently di-
vorced from good, sound COM
mon sense, to which many Of
our so-called statesmen have
subscribed with relation to
the sincere efforts of Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles. One
wonders if reaching a state
of hell" is the goal of some
of our fellow Democrats and
if that is more to be desired
by them than an honest,
harmonious working together
for world peace. Is it more
constructive to feed griSt to
the Communist mill by cast
ing blame upon Vice PreSi-
dent Nixon for the unpleas-
ant situation in Venezuela,
or to stand together as Amer
leans in seeking the cause
and working toward an i'm
provement in our relations
with our Latin-American
neighbors?
1t is high time that, as
Democrats and Republicans,
we face squarely the fact
that our country needs the
best of our thought and
energy if we are to preserve
our American way Of life.
