Ex-President Humans ar
ticle on the Middle East (The
Star, March 49, serves time
ly warning that the loss of
this important area would be
disastrous. But the panacea
prescribed for combating
Russian penetration-econ-
omic aid-falls short Of fac
ing facts.
No one familiar with exist
ing conditions will dispute
the need for economic and
technical assistance.
But to combat Communist
penetration we must first
recognize the conditions
which paved the way for it.
1t is easy enough to join
the millions here and abroad
who blame Mr.. Humans
vigorous support of Zionism.
And / must confess that /
have done so. But the fault
lies with our political system
which permits a small but
vocal group to exert undue
pressure against our policy
makers.
The one effective remedy
is to take the Palestine prob
lem out of domestic politics,
as it has been suggested by
Secretary Dulles and Secre-
tary Forrestal before him.
But the leaders of our two
political parties have not
seen fit to do so, and conSe-
quently our position in the
Middle East continues TO de-
teriorate.
Another problem with
which we must grapple is
die-hard Imperialism. IN
fortunately some elements in
Britain and France are still
unwilling to believe that CO.
lonialism and "gunboat di-
plomacy" are now out Of
fashion.
Can economic aid undo
the harm that British and
French policies have done, or
cause the million refugees
to forget that ten years ago
they had homes Of their
own?
BY all means we should
discourage the formation of
rival blocks, for these will
only benefit the U.S.S.R,
The masses want unity. not
division, and we would pe
we'll advised to espouse their
wishes.
II we are to regain the
favored position which our
country enjoyed not long ago,
we must support this Deep
rooted aspiration for unity,
without which there can be
no comprehensive economic
or industrial development,
Wise leadership in Washing
ton can create a united and
strong Arab world, and make
1t once again a staunch
friend Of America.

Teachers Pestered

I have been wondering
what kind of a bug it is that
has been stirring under the
schoolyard chips that has
set afloat so many rumors
that large numbers of teach
ers leave with the pupils at
3 pm"
The foregoing is a quote
from a directive from the
school superintendent to
three high school principals.
The knowledge obtained is
to be used "as a basis for
objective conclusions by mem
bers of the Board of Edu-
cation who are concerned
about the rumors they have
heard"
The language used in ask
ing teachers what time they
leave school is nothing less
than a mild accusation that
they are Sinking certain du-
ties, Are our teachers hired
as instructors or monitors?
1t has all along been my un-
derstanding that their duties
extend from the opening bell
at nine until dismissal at
three, after seeing their
rooms vacated of all pupils,
after which they are free to
leave the grounds and build
ings.
While I have nothing to do
with the schools personally.
! have had many contacts
and am fully aware that the
teachers are now putting in
more hours than they are
generally credited with. !
know as a fact that the
teachers of my acquaintance
are putting in long hours af-
ter school, often until mid
night. They have to forego
many pleasures such as re-
ceptions, lectures and invita-
lions to dinner because they
have pupils papers to 60
over. The strict routine our
teachers have to follow makes
their life a humdrum exist
ence. 1t narrows their view
point and ability to keep up
with the world.
We insist on our teachers
having a high educational
standard, yet we limit their
capabilities with drudgery,
Our school grounds are sup
posed to be cleared immedi-
ately after school is dis
missed. If we must have
monitors to attend to that
let's hire a few tough ones
and give them authority to
dust any pupils pants with a
hickory stick whenever nee

1t Will Have Its Columbus

Most of us may be too earthbound
to thrill to the prospect of taking trips
to the moon or of venturing beyond
there to places like Mars and Venus.
Yet, despite the tendency to shrug it
of as a Enthusiastically impractical idea,
talk about such travel must be taken
seriously in the age now rushing in
upon us. And it must be reckoned with
as something full Of tremendous i'm
plicationS" -nonmilitary as well as mill
tary-for mans life here on his troubled
little planet.
This. at any rate, is the judgment
of the distinguished scientists who COM
prise the Earth Satellite Panel Of our
National Committee for the Interna-
tional Geophysical Year. Headed by DR..
Richard w. Porter, the panel-in a re-
port submitted to the President last
month, sbut Just made public-has
summed up the fundamental signif-
canoe of the matter in these words:
"The interests of human progress and
our national welfare now demand that
long-term program of space explora-
ton be formulated and pursued by the
United States with the utmost energy.
Although there will inevitably be bene-
fits from such program Of very prac-
tical nature, the basic goal of this ex-
ploration must be the quest of knowl-
edge about our solar system and the
universe beyond"
Accordingly, the panel has recon-
mended that our country, advancing
from the mere launching of earth Satel-
liteS, embark upon series of great ex-
ploratory projects in the high heavens.
These projects would be aimed first at
the moon, 'our nearest neighbor in
space" and they would proceed from
there to Venus and Mars, "the most in
triguing of planets as well as the closest"
planets about which it may be said
that 1.-THE most compelling question is
undoubtedly what forms of life, if any,
do they have?" DR.. Porter and his COL
leagues are certain that the equipment
for such undertakings can and will be
built, to be operated by remote control,
without humans aboard. They are GER
tain, too, that this machinery-rockets
and the ike-will pave the way for
lunar and interplanetary travel by
manned space ships. AS to that, the
panels report declares
Although it is impossible to predict how
quickly man himself will follow his ex-
ploring instruments into outer space the
inevitable elimination of his efforts will
be manned space flight and his landing
on the nearer planets. 1t is clear that
he can develop the ability to do this, and
3 1t is hard to conceive of mankind stop
ping short when such a tempting goal is
within reach -, 1t is, in a sense, an
article OF faith that man will indeed
be required to do the Job of cosmc ex-
ploration perSonally-and, furthermore,
that he will want to do the job himself,
whether required to or not.
In short, as the ICY panelists see
the future, the day is unquestionably
coming when outer space will have its
own Columbus, exploring, discovering
and opening up stupendous new world
for the human race. The doubling
ThomaSeS among us may still be inclined
to scott, but in the lifetime of our chill
dren, if not in our lifetime, this seeming
fantasy may we'll become as real as the
proSaic ground we now stand on.

The Maryland University
Symphony Orchestra is made
up of college students and
residents of the community.
They rehearse each week,
trying hard to reach the
standards set by the con-
ductor. DR.. Joel Berman. I
have been sitting in on re-
hearsals since the beginning
of the school year, and have
enjoyed each period Of prac-
tice. DR.. Berman has brought
together players of diverse
abilities and given them the
rich experience of musical
expression. The university
and the community are i'm
measurably benefited by this
highly trained and talented
musician.
Last Tuesday, DR.. Berman
directed the orchestra in the
second concert of the school
year. 1t was an achievement
for the student players, and
the musicians who Joined
them, to give the university
an evening of music.
The next day. The Star
reviewed the concert with a
snobbish. nose-in-the-air
manner. The criticism called
attention to deficiencies of
amateur orchestras, weak
nesses that music lovers are
much aware of and never
theleSs overlook in their
ardent support of musical
activity. They know that
amateur orcheStras can af-
ford mot unaccountably) to
play works that the profess
sional ones cannot. 1t is
through college groups, like
the one under Joel Berman,
that rarely-heard music is
often played.

an environment of penury.
The parents of most of them
were born in Europe. That
day, what Lincoln said to
that group some would call
underprivileged children was
recorded by one present. The
simple, yet profound words
he uttered might be called,
This is America" Here are
two Of the Lincoln sentences:
You children must always
thank God that you have
been born in a country where,
if you will lead a decent,
clean life, trust God and work
hard. you can rise. The only
things that will limit you are
your industry. your charac-
ter, and your brains" Here
was one of the greatest Of
Americans assuring these
youngsters whose parents
had come from foreign lands
that because this is America
the way for them was open
to the top.
That was almost a century
ago. Then and now when its
glory is rightly evaluated.

100 Years AGO

Revival OF the slave trade
was under discussion 100
years ago, and in one case
a measure proposing it lost
by a narrow margin. On
March 25. 1858. The Star re-
ported: THE Senate of
Louisiana recently laid on the
table the bill from the lower
House Of that Legislature to
charter a company to import
from the African slave coast
5000 Negro apprentices. The
majority against it was two.
The fact that it was de-
feated by so small a ma
jority is likely to give rise to
other similar efforts to bring
about the re-establishment Of
the African slave trade in
this country"
