FOR FAST RESULTS TRY A
FRoNTTERSMAN CLASSIFIED
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-14
Angry Voters

Connecticut's Governor Ribicoff is a
highly respected public off1cial wherever
his good works are known. And not the
least Of these, by any means, is his
success in drastically reducing the
slaughter on his States highways.
This has been done by cracking
down hard on the speeders, the DRINKS
and the reckless drivers. Some $4,000
motorists have been fined or had their
licenses revoked, and some Of these are
reported to be planning to take 1t out
on the Governor when he comes up for
reelection this year. Since he won by
only 5000 votes in 1854, this could be
serious threat should it really mate
rialize.
The Governors safety campaign has
reduced traffic fatalities in Connecticut
by about two-thirds-a truly impressive
record. There ought to be enough people
in the State who appreciate this safety
record, and whose votes will offset the
malcontentS who have been punished
for traffic violations. 1t would also be
a great help, of course, If Governor
Ribicoff's Republican opponent were to
announce that, If elected, he will con-
tinue the about drive against the bad
actors on the highways. Politics being
politics, however, this probably is too
much to hope for.

Her Opportunity

It is obvious that political consid-
erations entered into the appointment
of Mrs. Barbara Gates Gunderson as a
member of the Civil Service Commission.
She is known here largely for her effec-
tive political work as the Republican
National Committeewoman for South
Dakota. But political patronage in such
appointments is nothing new. 1t has
happened beforehand more often than
not the selections have turned out to
be good ones.
There is no occasion, therefore, to
be overly concerned about Mrs. Gun
derSon'S appointment to a commission
whose chief reason for existence is the
elimination Of political patronage from
the civil service. While Mrs. Gunderson
has been active in politics, she has an
nounced that she will resign her G. o. P.
office and suspend all political activities
while serving on the commission. She
also has stressed that she is strong
believer in the merit system for Federal
employees and has promised to do her
best to sustain and improve the Gov
ernment's career service. Those who
know her say she is person Of integrity,
intelligence and unbounded energy.
Apparently President Eisenhower is
convinced that she will do good job as
a civil service commissioner. At any
rate, the best time to appraise the
appointment is after she has had an
opportunity to serve.

The Murphy Mission

Many persons have been searching
in recent weeks for solutions OF the
Middle East troubles. More time must
pass before final judgment can be rem
dered on the success of these efforts,
individually or collectively. At this
moment, however, it seems appropriate
to commend Deputy Undersecretary Of
State Robert Murphy for his tireleSS
endeavors to keep open the essential
channels Of person-to- person commune
cation at the highest levels for such
mutual understanding.
In four weeks, Mr.. Murphy con-
ferred with the top spokesman Of gov
eminent in nearly dozen capitalists
far apart as London and Adds Ababa,
and concentrated most Importantly
around Beirut, Amman, Baghdad and
Cairo. For the public record, he talked
infrequently and always in careful
terms, but there was evidence that his
professional skill as "trouble-shooter"
was serving our Government and others
in good measure in his crowded schedule
of private conferences.
Returning to New York on the eve
of the emergency session Of the U. N.
General Assembly, Mr.. Murphy told
newsmen "the prospects for peace look
brighter than they did" If he is correct
in this cautious evaluation, 1t is quite
likely that his own contribution to this
desired result has been major factor.

Approve the Extension

All OF the arguments, pro and con.
have been made In the case Of the Cap
itol's east front extension. And out Of
the hubbub Of fact and history, Of senti-
ment and extraneous comparison, there
Is only one question which really has any
Importance: Would the extension be re-
GREETED In years TO come?
The answer, we are convinced, is
clear. There would be no regret because
the extension, once the emotionalism Of
the moment is removed, would be recog-
nized as a distinct Improvement.
Extended S2Is feet forward, the east
central portion Of the building, in APP
pearance, would be virtually indistin-
guishable from the way 1t looks today.
1t would preserve every detail Of
the present ornamentation and archi-
lecture, and retain the characteristic
concept Of court between the House
and Senate wings.
It would do nothing to impair the
magnificence Of the true central feature
Of the Capitol-its tremendous dome
but would provide more pleasing set
ting for 1t than now exists.
It would halt the shameful disin-
tegration Of the present sandstone front,
through its reproduction in enduring
marble.
And it would provide an initial in
stalment of the additional Capitol space
which Congress so desperately needs.
There should be no surprise in the
sentimental objections which have been
raised. Such objections spring up when
any change Is proposed in any old build
ing. Yet virtually all Of those most
intimately familiar with the Capitol
those who certainly yield to no one in
their love for the old building-favor
the extension.
Nor should it be forgotten that the
eas: front extension is only first step,
and that other changeS-many far more
drastic than this-must be made in the
future. The west front, and very pos
sibly other portions as well, must be
enlarged; the disgraceful appearance of
a second-rate parking lot must be rene
died; improved access roads must be
provided ALI these things are needed to
reclaim Capitol Hill as symbol Of the
dignity of the Nation, a symbol which
also provides the functional facilities
Congress must have to perform its duties.
The east front extension is part
of the package. 1t should be ordered
Immediately.

Fair Trade

Your newspaper recently
carried an article describing
the efforts Of q Four Corners,
Nd, pharmacy to stop other
drugstores from selling GER
tain items at lower prices.
This is indeed a sad COM
mentary on the free enter
prise system, and the phar-
macy in question has no
moral grounds on which to
base its case. If it cannot
compete with the other stores.
then it has no right to be in
business. Obviously. the other
stores are making a profit
even when selling at lower
prices. What this particular
pharmacy wants, conse-
quently, is a maximum profit
and no competition.
The so-called flair trade"
law on which the pharmacy
is basing its complaint is
really a maximum price"
policy protecting inefficient
stores. AS such, the law should
be revoked and the free enter
prise system re-established.

l Measured by any standard, the Pres
ident's address to the General Assembly
was a notably successful effort. 1t was
well delivered and Il was excellent in
tone and content. It set forth the
United States position with candor and
firmness. Yet there was nothing In the
speech to give offense to others. Finally,
and most important, Mr.. Eisenhower
outlined a positive and hopeful program
"a program which could light the way
10 new and vastly better day in the
Middle East.
Mr.. Gromyko must be wondering
why he left Moscow. For his speech,
presumably drafted under the watchful
eye of Comrade Khrushchev, was an
empty thing-a feeble, self-defeating
effort. The Russian Foreign Minister
decried the invasion" Of Lebanon and
Jordan, ana he inveighed against the
threat to the peace of the world. For
our part, we doubt that single member
Of the Assembly believed word he said.
And we suspect that Mr.. Gromyko didn't
believe himself.
II this is true of the General As
tembly, however, it will not necessarily
be true Of the people in some parts Of
The world. The delegates in New York
have means Of distinguishing truth from
falsehood which are not available to all
or even to most of the people Of the
Middle East. Yet these latter are the
ones who must be reached with the
Eisenhower message.
1t is precisely in this respect, how
ever, that the President was most effec-
tive. Mr.. Gromyko had nothing to offer
except the same old tired, mendacious
propaganda line. But Mr.. Eisenhower
offered a program. 1t is a program
which respects legitimate Arab aspira-
tons, which holds promise of security
for all countries of the Middle East, and
which enviSages a cooperative effort to
Danish those real and ancient enemies
Of the Arabs-poverty, ignorance and
disease.
The real problem now is to get
through to the Arab people with the
Presidents message. If this can be done,
and if the Arab leaders, especially Colo
mel Nasser, are really concerned with the
welfare Of their people, they will en-
brace the opportunity offered them. It
is incomparably superior to anything
proposed by MeSSrs. Khrushchev and
Gromyko. It is, in fact an opportunity
which could mark the turning point in
the unhappy history Of the Arab world.
