The Carlton and Cannes are
synonymous, although the latter

Living at the Carlton is a
unique experience. Not because
it is perhaps the worlds best
known, so to speak, play pen.
There are more luxurious hotels,
certainly many more expensive
ones. It's distinction lies. elu-
sive and unfathomable, in a
stately warmth that permits the
guest to feel that he is briefly
presiding over a great house.

scribe it to the guest with i'm

Not even a film festival, with
all its gaudy excitement and
glamour, can do more than
ruffle the aplomb of the Carl
ton. 1t stands in the almost
exact center Of Cannes utterly
lovely CroiSette, or beach road,
and it can stand anything, or
anybody, that may come along.
Cannes, exotic still despite
its progressive commercialism,
has two seasons. One of these
is the film festival in the
spring, the other the social sea-
son in July. August and early
September. The Carlton is at
its busiest during each of these,
but the hotel itself has no such
thing as a season"

Impossible Mile

1t seems incredible that only few
years ago the people who are supposed
to know about such things doubted that
any man would ever run a mile in four
minutes.
On May 6, 1854, however, the i'm
possible was achieved. Englands DR..
Roger BanniSter ran a mile in 1894.
But look at what has happened now. In
Dublin the other day Herb Elliott of
Australia ran the mile in 3:54.5. There
we're five men in the Dublin race, and
all of them broke the tour-minute
barrier. Three, in addition to Elliott,
bettered the standing record of 1858.
What's impossible now?

The Courts Guardians

A great deal of pure nonsense is
being fed the public these days about
alleged projects in Congress to under
mine, sabotage or otherwise clip the
wings of the Supreme Court. The self
appointed guardians of the court who
are peddling this nonsense seem to think
there is something almost indecent about
a congressional proposal to modify a
court decision, even though the deci-
sion in question was based upon mis-
Interpretation of congressional intent.
The Steve Nelson case is a good ex-
ample. In that decision the Supreme
Court held that Congress, in passing the
Smith Act of 1910, intended to pre-empt
the field of subversive activities. Conse-
quently, said the court, Nelson could
not be convicted for Subversive activity
against the Federal Government under
State antisubverSion statute.
The only question here is whether
Congress actually intended to pre-empt
this field from the States If it did not,
then the Supreme Court misconStrued
the intent of Congress, and there is no
reason under the sun why Congress
should not enact new legislation to
make its intent, Enthusiastically clear This
seems so self-eVident that the hue and
cry from the overly excited defenders of
the court sounds like something out of
Alice in Wonderland.
The one real question has to do
with the form which correction of the
courts misinterpretation should take.
Two proposals are pending with respect
to the Nelson ruling. One, which we
think is greatly to be preferred, deals
specifically with the Nelson case and
merely disavows any intent to pre-empt
this particular field. The other is a
broad approach to the problem, which
attempts to set up a guide or standard
to cover all presumption cases. The
effect of this, both as to scope and con-
sequences, is uncertain. We are afraid
that, If adopted, it might do much more
harm than good.

Hail to the Nautilus!

The latest achievement OF the USS
Nautilus. the worlds FIRST atomic sub
marine, takes its place In history as one
Of the most significant voyages ever
made since man first put out to sea.
For this fabulous craft has pioneered a
potentially revolutionary new Arctic
Ocean route between the Eastern and
Western Hemispheres. II Is a route
much shorter than any now in use be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific, and the
key part of 1t is submerged for a dis
lance Of 1880 miles under the polar ice
cap.
In guiding the Nautilus through this
heretofore uncharted undersea passage,
Commander Anderson and his 116-man
crew have displayed skill and intrepidity
Of the first magnitude, and all Ameri-
cans join now in hailing them and taking
proper pride In their magnificent per-
Torrance. Quite obviously, of course,
their feat has very great military i'm
plications in our burgeoning age of in
termediate and intercontinental guided
and ballistic missiles, some Of which are
specifically designed to be launched
from deeply submerged Iiuclear-powered
submarines Equally important, how
ever, and perhaps even more important
in the long run, these Navy men have
dramatically demonstrated the posSibil-
ity of Harvesting the atom for peace in
yet another form of human endeavor.
This possibility, as emphasized by
President Eisenhower in his citations
honoring Commander Anderson and all
the men of his marvellous ship, is that
the new Arctic passage may in the flu
ture be exploited as great submerged
commercial seaway between the major
oceans of the world"-a Seaway that
would be heavily used by huge cargo
carrying submarines. Such craft are by
no means fantastic. Indeed, they are
already on the drawing boards, and
they will almost certainly become a
reality, like numerous other nonmilitafy
atomic wonders, If only peoples and
their governments avert a global war
and learn to live and work together in
a decent and enduring peace The
Nautilus, in any event, has shown the
way.

Stote of Virginia

I was not surprised mot
even as a native Virginian)
at the recent revelations Of
Virginia fiscal officials that
the Old Dominion faces q
deficit of four million dollars
during the next two years."
and that "the State is ending
the fiscal year with personal
income tax collections down
more than one million dol
lars"
State experts have at
tributed this crisis to the

convinced, however. that the
Virginia situation is caused
partly by a supplementary

the Old Dominion and sew

My theory is that the State

tax base and that of its sew

taxes and favorable labor
conditions. But one m ay
speculate that no prudent in
dustrialist is going to move
his business into a State
with a school chaoS-where
schools are apt to be closed!
The successful businessman
is educated, he reads the
newspapers. he receives ex-
pert advice, and he knows
that our schools are related
to every facet Of our life and
particularly to our economy.
Even Gov. Almond recognized
this when he said in his in
augural address: The we'll

curity of the Nation, even the
survival of Western civiliza-
ton, depend to a large de-
gree upon the education Of
the coming generation"
If one school is closed one

the ensuing inability to at

Coy. Enubus Wins

Your candid editorial. Gov.
Faubus Wins" contains a
truth about high policy that
President Eisenhower could
apply to our desperate and
anxious world: But when the
Governor used the National
Guard to prevent indignation.
and when the President sent
in Federal troops to impose it.
all hope for moderation went
out the window" Until we
understand why the patriotic
citizens Of Arkansas over
whelmingly approved a To-
bacco Road demagogue defy
ing our President. there is
small hope of conciliating
international contempt and
contumacy in foreign lands
where those following our own
pattern of political revolution
neither speak our tongue nor
concede our Puritan virtues.
We, who enforced a Monroe
Doctrine since 1928, now find
our President unable to en-
force his will and methods
within our own domestic
domain.
In a comparable situation,
almost two centuries ago,
Edmund Burke, speaking on
the Cancellation of the Amer
lean colonies rebelling against
King George III. had this
wise counsel to give all
thoughtless leaders. impatient
with moderation and COM
promise: u do not know the
method Of drawing up an in
dictment against a whole
people" Neither does Presi-
dent Eisenhower. But in at
tempting to do it. the Presi-
dent forgot the black magic
of graphic symbolism, which
even the primitive and un-
learned not only understand,
but blindly follow to death.
Whether it be the cross, the
swastika, the hammer and
sickle or the clenched fist.
these understandable symbols
trigger mass emotions and
energize them into wars. re-
bellions, riots and defiance.
Demagogue Faubus won the
rebellion at Little Rock be-
cause Gen. Eisenhower used
the wrong symbol to persuade
free men: With mystifying
political ineptitude he used
the naked bayonet instead Of
the flag. Bayonets we hate.
and too many of us have been
soldiers either to fear or re-
Spect them. But even a bloody
Civil War could not tear our
nag apart.

Helping Turkey

Although 1t can accomplish no over
night miracles, the massive economic aid
now being made available to Turkey
the free worlds strongest and most reso-
lutte ally in the Middle EaSt-promiSeS
to be of decisive Importance in helping
that country overcome its present crit
ical inf1ationary problems.
These problems stem in large part
from the fact that the Turks are en-
gagged in one of the worlds most ambi-
tiouS industrialization programs 1t is
a program which in some ways has,
sought to do too much too soon, and
which also has involved certain degree
Of miSmanagement. AS a result, despite
rules Of auSterity under which the
people of the country have had to do
without such things as coffee and auto
mobile parts, there has been an ever
increasing export-import imbalance,
with Turkey buying far more from
abroad than it has been able to sell in
foreign markets.
The resulting imitation, which has
been severe, has been aggravated by the
fact that the TurkS-aS members of
both NATO and the Baghdad pact
maintain at great cost to themselves a
combat-ready military force of at least
100000 men. This force is one of the
free worlds most valuable defensive
assets. But 1t has put a dangerous
strain, along with the export-import
imbalance, on the Turkish economy.
That is why the United States, operating
in concert with the International Mon
etary Fund and with the Western pow
erS making up the Organization for
European Economic Cooperation, has
worked out with the Ankara government
an agreement under which the latter
will receive $3.50 million in aid of various
types.

II the Senate ever sticks its tongue
In its cheek when it approves legisla-
ton, that was its posture on Wednesday
when 1t passed the home rule bill for
the District Of Columbia. Five Senators
were in their seats when the debate
began-six, II one includes the presiding
oflcer. Discussion of the bill and inser-
ton of relevant documents consumed SO
pages Of the Congressional Record. Yet
only three Senators-Clark, Bible and
Morse-participated.
The SO Senators who voted 81 for
and 20 against the home rule bill knew,
as Senator'S who three times previously
voted favorably on home rule bills for
the District knew, that the bill has no
more chance of consideration in the
House than, as Senator Morse politely
phrased it, "a SNOWFALL in hot oven"
But some things we're said in debate
that are worth mentioning. Senator
Clark indirectly quoted his colleague,
Chairman Bible of the Senate District
Committee, as saying that 1--WE must
keep on trying, trying and trying until
we get justice for the inhabitants Of the
District of Columbia; the same demo-
cratic rights which other citizens of the
United States and the citizens of all free
democracieS enjoy to elect their own
representatives"
Such rights, of course, have very
little bearing on the bill under discus
sion. The rights enjoyed by other citi-
zens are the rights of choosing repre-
sentativeS in the Government which
taxes them and sends them to war;
representatives in Congress, the Presi-
dent and the Vice President. No home
rule bill grants such rights.
We do not share Senator MorSe's
adverse opinion Of the bill which was
approved, setting up territorial form
of local government 1t is a more real
istic and workable bill than the one he
sponsored with the late Senator Nicely.
But we do heartily agree with Senator
MorSe'S subsequent propoSal-establish
ment of charter commission, and the
submission of its proposals to local
referendum. For surely one of the rele-
want questions which such a commission
should submit in a referendum would
involve preference of the people here as
between a locally elected city govern
ment, and the right of representation in
Congress and in choice of a President
and Vice President. We believe that
local opinion would overwhelmingly ia
vor the latter, which does not involve
the complexities of home rule in govern
ment of city set aside by the founders
as the seat of Government, under the
exclusive control of Congress. We hope
Senator Morse's charter commission pro-
posal will receive more attention in the
next Congress, and that the President
will see fit to support it, with certain
reviSionS.

Whereas. the police Of

Whereas, the transfer in
