Good Idea to FORGET

There is no merit, as far as we can
see, in the suggestion that the Districts
compulsory school attendance age be
raised to 81.
The thought behind this seems to
be that there are too many "dropouts"
by youngsters over 16 who could, but
who won't, do their Schoolwork. And
since many of these youngsters get into
trouble after leaving school, DR.. Row.
land Kinks, Board of Education mem
Der, thinks it would be good idea to
keep them in the classroomS until they
are 81.
We disagree. There may be COM
munity need for some answer to this
problem, but we do not believe that the
solution is to convert the claSSrooms
into detention homes for the drop
outs" in the 16-to-21 age group. The
schools have troubles enough as it is.

The Man for the Job

1t is not surprising that the Senate
has acted with singular speed, and with
out dissenting vote, in confirming
President Eisenhower'S nomination of
Admiral Paul F. Foster as American rep
reSentative to the International Atomic
Energy Agency. His qualifications for
this important post (Which endows him
with ambaSSadorial rank are beyond
dispute. Certainly there are not many
men in our country, or in the world at
large, who know as much as he does
about the atomS-for-peace program.
Although primarily naval officer
(the first in our history to have won the
Congressional Medal of Honor, the Navy

The Least He Could Do.

The ceremonies are over, and John
Foster Dulles rests now in a grave site
chosen by his widow on sun-swept
knoll in Arlington Cemetery. 1t was a
moving service-the assembled digni-
taries, the 19-gun salute, the rifle vol
leyS and the bugle notes which drifted
away over the surrounding hills. For
Mr.. Dulles, the struggle and the heart
break are things Of the past. He gave
all that he had to give for the principles
in which he believed, and it was entirely
fitting that the great and the near-great
should have gathered on his burial day
to pay homage to his memory.
We suspect, however, that Mr.. Dulles
would have cherished most the tribute
paid to him by the little people-the
thousands who filed through the Beth
lehem Chapel of Washington Cathe-
dral to bow their heads and murmur
prayer for man whom most of them
had never met.
In his lifetime, although he kept
such things to himself, Mr. Dulles Suf-
fered at the hands of critics who were
harsh, relentless and often grossly UNI
fair. So it is too bad, we think, that
he could not know about the man who
came down by bus from Geneva, New
York, to pay his respects because he
thought ut was the least could do" 1t
is too bad that he could not know about
the woman who felt that he had given
his life for his country, or about the cab
driver who commented that she had
plenty of reason to quit but he was
fighting for peace and stuck it out"
This tribute, from the little people,
would have been heart-warming ex-
perience for much-harassed man. Mr..
Dulles cannot know about it. But those
of us who survive him do know, and
perhaps, if we think about it bit, it
will have its useful consequences Per-
haps it will help us to leave unsaid the
barbed word, to soften the bitter jibe
which, once uttered, cannot be recalled;
and, remembering that we all have our
failingS, it may also help us to credit a
man during his lifetime with the good
that he tries to do.

SeIective Pruning on Aid

The House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee has exercised its judgment in re-
Sponsible fashion in approving a $3.642
billion mutual security program for the
coming fiscal year. For while this total
reflects net reduction of about $267
million in the $50 billion minimum
figure" recommended by President Eli
Senhower, the committees pruning was
carefully Selective. In general, it con-
formed to the growing opinion that the
most effective pattern for continued for
eign aid calls for increasing emphasis
on economic rather than military assist
ance and for loans rather than grants.
In keeping with this philosophy, the
committee proposed cut of $3.50 mil
lion in military assistance while favor
ing an increase of $100 million in the
$500 million asked by the President for
the Development Loan Fund. Even in
its proposed reductions in military aid
and in defense support grants, it was
indicated that the committee is not
thinking in terms of cutting help to our
front-line allies around the perimeter
of the Communist bloc, and that in any
case it favors leaving the administra-
ton full flexibility in distribution of the
funds.
One cut, we think, was unwise. This
was the decision to slash in half the
Presidents requested 5000 million con-
tingency fund In his special message
to Congress in March, Mr.. Eisenhower
pointed out that urgent needs (which
cannot be foreSeen at all or with Suffi-
cient clarity to program in advance"
arise each year and that safety and pru-
dence' require available reserve funds.
He cited the Middle East crisis of last
year-a front-line one, incidentally-aS
an example of the unforeseen need and
of the effective use of such reserves.
Congress appropriated $155 million for
contingencies in the current fiscal year.
The Foreign Affairs Committees &C
ton is only one of the many steps, of
course, in shaping up the foreign aid
program for next year. Like the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, it is work.
ing only on an authorization measure.
The SevereSt tests will come when the
money bills are considered by the APP
preparations committees and when they
reach the floors of the two chambers.
The House committees approach, how
ever, has been a constructive one and
it should contribute much to final enact
ment Of program beneficial to our
selves and to the other free nations.

Missile Brondisher

en- On its face, Nikita KhruShchev'S
speech opposing the establishment of
missile bases in Italy and Greece (there
has been no announcement of any such
plan with respect to the latter country
Is rather pointless.
3as. Mr.. Khrushchev contends that
these bases, supplied with American
made missiles, would clearly threaten
Russia and its satellites to such degree
that he might feel obliged to set up
counter bases in Albania and other Com
InuniSt lands. But Mr.. KhruShchev and
some of his erStwhile associates have
talked about their missiles before. And
the essence of those earlier remarks was
that they already had enough interme-
date range missiles to wipe out West
ern Europe and Britain as we'll So why
build more missile bases in Albania?
y If there is any significance in this
i1issile-waving exhibition by the Soviet
Premier, it may be found in his appar-
ent desire to prevent the establishment
pf surrounding ring of missile bases
which, in event of war, could complicate
RuSsias defense problem and increase
the risks in Soviet surprise attack. As
Stunning that Mr.. KhruShchev has some
thing of this sort in mind-that he
really is concerned more with safeguard
ing his own country than with keeping
the Western nations weak-thiS matter
of missile bases may offer a negotiating
point. At any rate, if the Soviet leader
is interested in safeguards for the West
rs well as for his own empire, the pos
sibility should be and undoubtedly will
be carefully explored.

Justice Handicapped

:. District Court Judge Holtzof has as
sumed leadership of movement among
local judges, attorneys and laymen de-
signed to solve problem that is handi-
Gaping the courts in arriving at what
he calls "juSt results" in cases involving
expert medical testimony. The problem
is a major one, arising from frequent
conflicts in testimony between doctors
representing opposing sides in personal
injury and similar litigation. Since other
Jurisdictions have found ways to avoid
such confusing conflicts, there is no
reason why jury confounding medical
evidence should be tolerated here.
In appointing a special committee
made up largely of attorneys and physi-
clans to tackle the problem of securing
impartial medical testimony in court,
Judge Holtzoff suggested that the med
ical-teStimony systems established in
New York City and in Baltimore be
studied In both cities there are court
sponsored medical panels from which
expert witnesses are drawn to examine
injuries and ailments at issue in dam
age suits. These doctors have no con-
nection with either side and thus cannot
fairly be accused of bias. Their teSti-
mony is accepted by the court as au-
thoritative and trustworthy. In New
York the doctors are paid from public
funds, whereas in Baltimore their fees
are assessed equally against each party
in the litigation. Medical organizations
in both cities are cooperating in the
plan.
Having had number of battling
experiences in his own court with dia-
metrically opposed testimony by doc
tors for plaintiffs and defendants, Judge
Holtzoff UNDERSTANDABLE gave the prob
lem first attention as he assumed the

pert testimony in the difficult personal
injury cases which are reaching the
courts in increasing numbers

When students graduate from

unable to fit into their high

more advantageous, for them,
to attend a junior college
rather than go back to high

establishment of such an in

the expenses of students.
However, l was disappointed

He went on to win the election
in November over his Repub-
lican opponent by the largesS
margin ever given a Governor
Of Kentucky. At that time
Mr.. Clements and Mr.. Barley
both supported Gov. Chandler
in the general election. In the
1856 election, however, Mr..
Chandler was instrumental
in the election Of Senator
Thruston Morton, Republic
can. now chairman of the
Republican National Com
mittee, over Senator Glenn
ents who was seeking re-elec-
ton. Obviously, in Kentucky
politics, anything can happen.
Democratic Agreement
II Mr.. Combs is elected
Governor, the Kentucy dele
CATION to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will 60 un-
instructed for any presiden-
tial candidate. That is accord
ing to an agreement entered
into by the anti Chandler
Democrats earlier this year.
Wilson w. Wyatt, a strong
supporter of Adlai Stevenson,
planned to run for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nominal
ton against Mr.. Combs. If he
had done so, it would have
split the anti Chandler
forces badly. Mr.. Wyatt
agreed to run for lieutenant
governor with Mr.. Combs
running for the top spot.
Earle Clements is a good
friend of Senator Lyndon B.
johnson of Texas, majority
leader and a potential candi-
date for the 1860 presidential
nomination. So the deal was
made that if Mr.. Wyatt would
go along. the Kentucky dele
cation next year should 60
to the national convention
uninstructed. Kentucky will
have 30 delegates presumably
in the national convention.
The delegation could be in
strumental in deciding the
battle over a presidential
nominee, which now promises
to be hard fought.
With Gov. Chandler out of
the picture, and unable to
dictate to the States delega-
ton. he himself will not fig
ure as a favorite-son candi-
date-and the long list of
aspiring Democrats seeking
the presidential nomination
will have been depleted by
one. Mr.. Clements and Mr..
Wyatt might split the Ken
lucky delegation under these
circumstances. Senator. Glenn
ents is inclined to go along
with Senator Johnson, a
moderate, and Mr.. Wyatt, re-
garded as a liberal, will go
along with one of the liberal
candidates, and plug for Mr..
Stevenson as the strongest
man the Democrats can
nominate, particularly if the
convention S ould become
deadlocked-as it may.
Under Kentucky law, a
Governor may not succeed
himself. There is no law
against his trying later. This
is the second time Gov.
Chandler has been Governor
with a long interval during
which he was Senator from
Kentucky. He is only Sc years
old-and he may not be as
dead as he appears.

fiscal troubles with a Repub-
lican legislature was most
appreciated. ] was glad to see
the issues clarified.
Mr.. Lincoln's suggestions,
however, that the situation is
comparable to the Demo-
cratic Congress in January of
1888 failing to act on lame
duck President Hoover's pro-
posals did not seem particu-
larry apt. Gould Lincoln may
be right, since he is a much
more seasoned political OBJ
server than I.
/ do recall a speech made
by the late Mayor La Guardia
in Chicago in the 1914 cam
paign. The Little Flower"
described how he had been
among a group of Congress-
men who urged President
Hoover to exercise certain
powers of the Federal Gov
eminent to halt the disas-
trous trend of the boom-and-
bust period.
Apparently, the President
felt he could not act in any
way to control the business
economy. This would have
been unconstitutional, &C
cording to the popular Re-
publican theory of govern
ment.
Instead, President Hoover
directed the executive branch
to make certain studies. I
have heard that some of
these studies, particularly in
the field of housing, were
more comprehensive than any
that came later in New Deal
days. But jobs were not forth
coming. Private enterprise
was fiat on its back, as were
a good many American peo-
pie.
Since President Hoover had
failed to act earlier when he
had a Republican majority
in the Senate and House, is
it likely he could have helped
the country materially in the
8 weeks before Roosevelt
was sworn Uneven with the
Democratic Congress coop

In his 10 years as Demo-
cratic Governor of a former
one-party Republican State,
Gov. Williams has never had
