Father Devlin urged the par

teenage sons and daughters. He
said: THE child with a high 10
who thinks he is a moron will act
like one; whereas, one with an 10

1t Should Be SqueIched

Governor Almonds opposition to a
proposed legislative investigation of
Virginia's teachers and textbooks is
soundly based. No evidence has been
produced by the Thomson committee or
any other group showing conditions
which would justify such dragnet OPP
Grafton. Nor is there any evidence that
there is need for an inquiry directed
specifically at public schools In Northern
Virginia, which seem to be the main
target OF Delegate Thomson's curiosity.
In the absence of such evidence, a
fishing expedition Of the sort which Mr..
Thomson has asked the General Assem-
bly, to approve would only disrupt the
school routine, impair teachers morale
and stir up needless Controversy at
time Of crisis In the States educational
program. The Legislators ought to take
Governor Almonds advice and squelch
the Thomson scheme promptly and
emphatically. =

New Order in Caracas

The overthrow Of the Perez Jimenez
dictatorship in Venezuela offers that
country the bright prospect Of political
freedom. But 1t is prospect that can
be realized only II those forces that
have played leading roles in the revolu-
ton join in an enlightened exercise OF
responsibility. recognizing that q mere
shifting Of power Is not In itself an
attainment Of liberty.
In Venezuela today, this recognition
is the more important, and perhaps the
more difficult, because Of the very nature
of the revolution. For there have been
two revolutionary movements--one mill
tary and one civilian-working toward
the same objective (the overthrow Of
Jimenez) but joined only in committee
like leadership alliance with the future
pattern of governmental administration
not fully cryStallized. The military, who
took the initiative in an air force revolt
that fizzled on New Years Day, already
have taken executive power through
formation Of junta. The civilians,
with nominal leaders Of the major po-
litical parties in temporary exile In the
United States, have formed a junta OF
their own and have announced condi-
tional support Of the military leaders.
1t is an interesting parallel, at least,
that Jimenez himself approached power
as a member of military clique that
overthrow an earlier uniformed Dictator
ship In l945.
With these qualifications expressed,
however, there are no apparent grounds
for assuming that the current turn of
events will fall short Of their bright
promise. Both military and civilian
spokesman have placed early, free cleo
tions as prime objective, political
prisoners are being released, censorship
is being lifted and newspapers are re-
turning to publication. Given time to
establish order and authority, there is
reasonable hope that a broadly based
and democratic form OF government will
come TO life.
From our own standpoint, there are
numerous reasons for interest in the
course Of the Venezuelan affair. We are,
OF course, approving Of any genuine
increase In political freedoms within our
neighbor countries. We have, also, a
tremendous stake of more than purely
economic implications in a vast invest
ment OF United States capital in the
rich petroleum and mineral resources Of
Venezuela. In encouraging and pro-

They Bleed Easily

Sherman Adams is not the type to
make q career Of winning friends and
influencing people-especially among
the political opposition. And when one
compares his Minneapolis speech earlier
this week with the no-politics- in de-
tense effort Of the President at Chicago,
It Is dificult to escape the impression
that the administrators right hand
does not always know, or care, what the
left hand is doing.
Conceding this, however, there still
is an element Of wonderful nonsense
In the Democratic reaction. It has been
a reaction Of shock. incredulity and
horror. Mr.. Adams. according to the
more excited Democrats, is Ratchet
man, fellow who travels the low road
lin short, a thoroughly obnoxious char
acter. III 8
Presumably, this anguished cry is
coming from new breed. It could not
be coming from the same hardy Demo-,
Gratis who clapped their hands and
whistled gleefully when Herbert Hoover
was being chopped UP into little bits
and pieces-by the Democratic OPPOSE
ton. 1t could not even be coming from
the same Democrats who shouted for
more when Harry Truman was carving
the Republican carcass with a none
too-sharp meat ak. No. this must be
new breed Of Democrat breed which
bleeds even before the skin has been
pricked.
It is possible. however. that there Is
another explanation-an explanation
rooted in the fact that this is an election
year. Keeping this fact In mind. is there
anyone who believes the Democrats
really we're shocked by the Adams
speech? Is there anyone who thinks
that the Democrats are not playing
politics with national defense? Is there
anyone who believes that the Repub-
licans. through Mr.. Adams or otherwise,
will not do the same? II so. II there Is
any such credulous person. he was not
born yesterday. He was born just few
minutes ago.

Kinq-Size Heodoche

Mayor Wagner OF New York City
has raised plaintive voice in the trafiic-
Jam wilderness. He wants thinner and
shorter automobiles. and his desire Is
not based simply on whimSy. Nor is he
alone, although the giants in the auto
manufacturing industry have been quick
to point to their healthy looking sales
statistics as evidence they are giving
most Of the buying public what II
prefers.
As noted, however, Mr.. Wagner's
ofiicial position on the matter Is not
dictated. primarily at least. by personal
taste. Indeed, the New York journals
report that he travels in Limousine
more than nineteen feet long-giving
him q rather substantial overhang be-
yond the average American four-door
sedan" which measures seventeen feet,
eight inches. His Honor is concerned
instead with the related problems OF
city parking and congested streets-a
pair of steadily worsening headaches for
those who drive as well as those who
administer government In the Nations
metropolitan centers. 1t Is not, of
course, merely problem Of fun-making
implications. and Mayor Wagner has
made q serious appeal to the auto
makers TO consider some of the conse-
quences of the dreadnaught-design
trend of recent years.
Speaking OF his own community
and undoubtedly his contention applies
to others. including our own-he has
advised the manufacturers that in the
past decade the average parking lot has
lost IS per cent of It's disable space, while
prewar garages have lost 40 per cent.
Meter-regulated, curb-side spaces of 20
feet no longer will take modern mon
'sters. and the extra bulges in width have
filled driving lanes to danger point.
Obviously, these are considerations af-
fecting more than the convenience OF
motorists; they affect utilization Of pub
lie and private real estate, bear upon
public safety and so forth.
There are, 1t seems, fashion trends
in automobiles as well as in clothes. And
the Big Three have persuasive evidence
Of consumer acceptance Of, and perhaps
even demand for, their bigger and more
powerful models. But while the small
car share Of today's inarket-approxi-
mately 100000 VS.. 6 million-has hardly
become threat as yet, its percentage
growth In the past two years alone has
been relatively spectacular. From smaller
beginnings, there have come revolutions
In style and habit Be patient, Mayor
Wagner, but take heart.

Wiretop Progress

Senator Mcclellan and several Of
his colleagues have introduced legisla-
ton to wipe out the Gripping effects
Of the Supreme Courts ruling in the
Benanti case. This was the case In
which the Supreme Court. purporting
to be following the intent of Congress,
held that wiretap evidence obtained BY
State officials acting under State law
could not be used in Federal courts.
The opinion also cast doubt on the le-
gality Of any use Of wiretaps by the
States.
Senator Mcclellan, joined by Sem
ators Ives. Erwin. Mundt, Goldwater
and Curtis. has offered an amendment
which would exempt State wiretaps
from Section sos Of the Federal Com
municationS Act, which makes 1t illegal
to intercept and divulge telephone mes
sageS. In other words, State officers,
II they act under State law and with
authorization from a judge. would be
permitted to tap wires and use evidence
so obtained in criminal prosecutions.
In submitting the amendment. Sem
ator Mcclellan said 1t was his belief,
and he undoubtedly is right, that "Con-
gress never intended to cripple and
hamper law enforcement agencies in
their efforts to stamp out crime and
punish criminals" This Is all to the
good, as far as 1t goes. But Congress,
In our opinion. never intended to cripple
law enforcement by State officials or by
Federal ofiicials. And the Mcclellan
amendment would provide no relief
from the Supreme Courts ban on the
use IN Federal courts Of wiretap evil
dence obtained by Federal agents.
Furthermore. II Congress should
specifically exempt State wiretaps. while
making no provision for Federal wire
taps. there would be much force to the
argument that Congress really intended
TO ban the latter. In our belief, 1t Is
Just as important to permit the FBI.
subject to proper safeguards, to tap the
wire Of an espionage agent, and use
any evidence obtained thereby, as 1t Is
to permit State officers to tap the wire
Of a racketeer. We hope that Congress
will enact corrective legislation, and
that 1t will cover both fields - not
Just one.

For the Record

On January Is. q letter by
Mrs. Anna o. Blum. Monroe,
Wis. captioned Backing In
to Science" took the Ma
tional Science Foundation TO
task and attempted to hold
it up to ridicule for the type
Of research it supports.
! should like TO set the rec
ord straight. The foundation
did not and could not support
research OF the type she
mentioned. but not for the
reasons she evidently had in
mind.
As she accurately stated.
the foundation, an inde-
pendent agency Of the Fed
eral Government. supports
basic research and training
and education in the sciences.
Basic research deals with the
increase Of scientific knowl-
edge. II is research where
the primary aim OF the in
vestigator is a fuller knowl-
edge or understanding Of the
subject under study. rather
than a practical application
thereof.
The specific projects men
toned by Mrs. Blum were
not concerned with basic re-
search. but rather with APP
piled research. For this rea-
son. the foundation did not
support the projects men,
toned.
However. contrary to the
opinion Of Mrs. Blum, the
projects (which we're sup
ported by another Federal
agency are eminently prac-
teal. Research dealing with
body measurements. space
requirements for various body
movements-even the meas
uring OF "sitter's sterns" TO
which she refers-is OF great
value for the design Of chairs,
Of pilots seats, etc. and for
determining the most eff
cient use Of a given space in
which workers sit to perform
their duties. Another project
she mentions. dealing with
activities related to leisure
and recreation and the play
OF children. has the useful
end result Of providing archi-
tectS with information for
designing better homes.
