Dark Horse StumbIes

Scrutiny of Tuesdays off-year cleo
ton results throws little new light on
what to expect in the main event of 1860,
the presidential race. With few of this
years contests having potential Signifi-
canoe, probably the greatest national
interest conferred on the bid by New
Jerseys Governor Meyner to lead the
Democrats to a complete capture Of
the State government. Mr.. Meyner, one
of the darker "horSes" in the large
stable of possible Democratic presiden-
tial nominees. has had increasing ma
tional attention since his initial election
in 1858, his repeat in 1857 and his con-
tributions to the party's good showing
in New Jersey in 1858.
BY narrow, but nevertheless con-
elusive, margin he suffered setback
this week. OF greatest Importance in
this instance was his about effort to
gain Democratic control of the State
Senate, result that would have per-
mitted him if he wished to turn over
the governorship and the State admin
istration to another Democrat in order
to run for the United States Senate next
year or to be freely available for a place
on the national ticket. When the votes
were counted, however, Republicans still
controlled the State Senate and had

Much Heat, Little Liqht

Nothing that Is really constructive
has emerged from the hearings before
a gubernatorial commission on propos-
ais to enlarge the board of regents Of
the University of Maryland. There have
been numerous charges directed at the
present board and the university admin
istration-charges of inefficiency, politi-
cal maneuvering and the like. There
has been little or no supporting evil
dence, however. And, in view of the
failure of the past General Assembly to
approve enlargement of the board, 1T
probably will take something more per-
suasive than opinions of the boards
critics to induce the Legislature to
change a system under which the
university maintains creditable edu-
cational standing.
There are now eleven regents, in
Guiding several alumni. Most of the
criticism, incidentally, has come from
the Alumni Association. It was charged
during the legislative hearings last year
that proponents of an expanded board
wanted to ''pack" it with alumni more
interested in improving the university'S
athletic standing than its academic
standing. However, proposals under
study do not specify that additional
regents should be alumni. One of the
recommendations is for enlargement of
the board to twenty-nine members.
University President Elkins and rep
resentativeS of the board already have
advised the commission that a larger
board might prove to be unwieldy.
They have testified that the present
board is functioning well. Certainly the
educational prestige Of the university
under the present board and admins
tration is unquestioned. 1t may we'll be
that the board should be more widely
representative from a geographical
standpoint Montgomery County has
no regent, while Baltimore is heavily
represented. If, however, the next Leg
islature should decide to authorize more
regents, the members should be chosen
not for political reasons, but because
of their interest in promoting the con-
tinued growth and prestige of the Col
lege Park institution.

Panama Joins In

The anti-American rioting In Pan
anna, while similar to the efforts being
made by agitators to stir up hatred Of
the United States in Latin America,
apparently had no relation to recent
disturbances In Cuba and elsewhere.
Panama long has regarded the United
States as an intruder in Central Amer
lea, albeit a benevolent one. Although
the United States helped Panama to win
independence from Colombia Sc years
ago, Panamanian Nationalist in recent
years have campaigned to have us re-
linquish some or all of our rights under
the 1908 Panama Canal Zone treaty.
That treaty gave us authority over the
10-mile-wide zone and over the isthmian
waterway through it.
It was a celebration of Panama's
independence day that touched off the
violent demonstrations in Panama City
against the American Embassy and in
Colon against American property. The
demonstration had been well advertised,
but the celebrantS had been advised to
be peaceful" Instead, mobs stormed
and stoned the Embassy and the United
States Information ONCE building, over
turned American automobiles and tore
down and destroyed an American flag
in front of the Embassy. Panamanian
policemen, flremen and national guards
men finally brought the disorders under
control.
Ambassador Julian Harrington's
strong protest to the Panama Foreign
ONCE has met with countercharges.
However, President Eisenhower has
wisely counseled against taking the in
cidents too seriously. He blamed ex-
citable groups for setting off the rioting.
And, as he stressed at his news confer
ence, it is to the mutual advantage Of
Panama and the United States to main
tain the friendly relations which have
prevailed in the past.

Warning on w Ads

In announcing more vigorous
Federal Trade Commission breakdown
on false or misleading televiSion COM
rnercials, Chairman Earl w. Kintner has
warned that the greater responsibility
for welding the cleanup broom rests
with the broadcasting industry itself.
Dishonest TV advertisements, those
which misrepresent or mislead in vio-
lation of the law are Every much our
concern" Mr. Kintner said. It is to halt
illegal huckstering" in such cases that
the ETC will expand program monitor
ing and will require networks to submit
nationally used commercials for advance
screening.
The bulk of the offensive TV
and radio commercials, however, falls
outside the FTC's Jurisdiction. They
involve advertising excuses" which
"exaggerate, irritate and nauseate."
They dance on the edges of the law"
and the clamp against them must be
applied by the broadcasting industry.
The FTC's expanded activities
against the illegal commercials, in re-
Spouse to public pressure, is the result,
in very real sense, of the industry's
failure to police itself. The warning
inherent in Mr.. Kintner's statement is
that the public also is concerned about
those commercials which skirt the
law" And some sort of Federal regu-
lation of these is likely If the industry
cannot or will not handle the problem
itself.

Dogs for Protection

I do not believe our police
force could cope with the
crime wave that would follow
if it were against the law
for homeowners to keep a
sizable dog.
Very recently I read in one
Of our papers of the need
for outlawing door-to-door
sales solicitation because a
wave of burglaries so often
followed in the areas solicited.
All could likely be prevented
by a "king-sized dog" in the
house. A Harmless little dog"
would be of little value ex-
cept to warn.
Almost every day the news
papers report a new list Of
horrible crimes in this and
many other cities to such an
extent that I do not believe
1 would want to live in a
house anywhere were I de-
prived of the protection Of
what E. c. P. in a letter to
The Star calls a "king-sized
dog"

edge has any government
ever admitted that these
dark agents." even when
caught red-handed, were act
ing under its instructions, or
in its service, if possible to
deny. This again is part of
the state system. And no one
should be disturbed by these
reports unless he proposes to
challenge the state system.
1t is very important for the
American people to note that
the first casualty in any war,
hot or cold. is truth, and al
ways has been. 1t is not that
the individuals engaged in
international subversion are
immoral themselves, but
rather that the system itself
is amoral.

Many a child went into
the ping-pong business on
mothers favorite table, after
convincing her that no harm
would come to it.
No damage was done, as
far as we can recall, except
a few scuffs on the legs, and
some mars on the rim.
Tables had to be able to
take it in those days. Now
and then a table was turned
over and made into a sort
OF flying machine, according
to full directions contained
in Mark Twain's TON Saw
yer Abroad"
Occasionally a table turned
on its side became a Boer
fortress. There was no know
ing exactly what the dining
room table would become
next.
Mother, however, had her
own idea Of what it would
become.
1t became a dining room
table, exactly that and moth
ing else, from the Boer war
on.
To get back to Offices
In every Office, there Is at
all times some one who
ought to be fired.
The sad fact is that usually
he isn't.
He isn't, that is, for such
a long time that the salutary
effect of his dismissal loses
all the good effect it should
have.
Such a guy often seems to
lead a charmed life. He is
obnoxious, but there he is.
When he finally goes, he is
gone; rejoicing abounds, but
it has lost its zeSt.
Management fails here be-
cause Of the weight Of its own
rules.
1t tries to be fair, and in
being fair. 1t sometimes be-
comes unfair to those who
walk the straight line.
We have always thought
that perhaps the old boss,
with his keen eye, would be
a good person to have around
today.
He looked over an appn-
cant, and if he didn't like his
looks. he turned him down.
Maybe he didn't like red
headed people. or persons too
thin, or too fat. Whatever
it was. it was a handy rule
of thumb that saved much
stress and strain and some
times worked. That's all you
can ask Of any rule.

Deborah F. Culman.
I would like to offer q few
comments on the television
quiz-show affair:
Cd Since it seems agreed
that the fixing" of these
programs offended no exist
ing statute. the former con-
testants are being compelled,
under threat of perjuring
themselves, to admit in pub
lie to moral wrongdoing in
an area accessible only to the
judgment of individual con-
science. They are thus, in a
very real way, being convicted
ex post facto, by the publica-
ton of their actions. Neither
the mass media, nor the Har-
ris committee, nor indeed
anyone connected with the
affair (save Prof. Louis
Hacker, foreman of the
original grand jury has done
anything but intensity the
unjust effects of this investi-
cation upon the lives and
characters of the contestants.
Owing to his background and
professional status, Charles
Van Doren energies as the
greatest sufferer. Maybe he
should have known better
than to participate in an en-
terprise made to order for
"f1xing"-I, for one, think he
shouldn't this is just the
point: for that decision was
all his own, and so were
whatever other decisions he
had to make. Thus the in
justice of prosecuting him
now for having violated, If,
anything at all, his own con-
science and nothing more.
Could anything be more IRA
tional?
90 The whole distasteful
affair is valuable chiefly as
an index to certain of the
more alarming symptoms Of
moral unhealth in this coun-
try: our infatuation with per-
Sonalities and our habit Of
taking personality as a sign
of competence in anything
beyond personal relations;
our meretricious notion Of
knowledge" as the memo
rization of factual informa-
ton; our unbelievable moral
innocence, which we COM
pensate for with an equally
unbelievable moral cynicism
the cynicism of innocence
betrayed: our misunderstand-
ing of the distinctions be-
tween illusion and reality
NEATLY shown in the ridicu-
lous efforts of TV executives
to "clean house" in their in
dustry); and the insidious
self deception which permits
the mass media to justify, in
the name of freedom of in
formation, practices that
have much more to do with
money than with news.
