By CARL HELM

The other day was trying to
recall something interesting
heard on a TV news program,
and for the life of me couldn't.
It was an interesting fact that
wanted to store away for fu-
ture use, and I wished I could
have a "play-back" of it. But
that you can't have - except
for a lot of dough and technical
tiles: once a fact or anything
else goes out on the air it van
ishes into the ether unless
you've locked 1t up in your
brain cells.
That's what I like about news
papers, and I don't throw them
out until they begin to get yell
low around the ears. You can
go back and look up something
you've semi-forgotten, and it's
yours all over again. You can
clip out the item and file it
away. if you have the kind of a
forgettory' memory that I have!
And that's why newspapers
will be here and thriving long
after improbable as it seems
now something still stranger
and newer has displaced radio
and TV.
There is a loftier ambition
than merely to stand high in
world" wrote Henry Van Dyke.
ut is to stoop down and lift
mankind a little higher!"

race relations in the city.
Mrs. Edith M. Steinmetz, found
er and first president of the Chris
tian Friends for Racial Equality,
an organization devoted to better
relations among people of diverse
cultural and racial background and
a recognition of the principle of
equal opportunity for all, was the
recipient of the Civic Unity Com
nittees award.

ute to one who had won the honor
not through any fanfare of pub
lefty but by long years of dedica-
ton, prayer and tireles work.
AS she accepted the award, Mrs.
Steinmetz responded with the fol-
lowing remarks:
ITO the President and officials
of Civic Unity Committee: 1t is
with the deepest appreciation that
l acknowledge this award, and it
is with the keenest realization that
it is not l who is deserving of this
honor. First, it is the dedicated
Filipino, Mr.. Victor CarreOn, who
urged the formation of the Chris
tan Friends for Racial Equality;
and second, the splendid men and
women who, through these years
since May, 1912, have kept our
program going through their men,
bershipbership, participation and
support. l amsaying this, not be-
cause it is the proper thing to say,
but rather because know it to be
true. l am sure the Civic Unity
Commute will approve my asking
these fine people to share with me
the honor of this award. thank
you with all my heart"
Another award from Civic Unity
Committee was given to the King
County Harhorview Hospital for
its operation policies which reflect
the American ideal of equal treat
ment for all people without dis
elimination on the basis of race,
religion or place of national origin.
The citation was read by Mrs.
Robert M. Jones, member of the
Advisory Council of Civic Unity
Committee, and the award was re-
ceived by DIR. K. K. Sherwood,
superintendent of King County
Hospital.
The foregoing awards were made
at the annual meeting of Civic
Unity Committee, held at the
Georgian Hall of the Olympic Ho-
tel last January 10.

The citation, which was recited
by Attorney P Allen Rickles, a
board member of the Civic Unity
Committee and president of Chris
tan Friends for Racial Equality,
reads as follows:
"This award goes to woman
with mission as recognition for
a life time devoted to furthering
the highest ideals of brotherhood.
Throughout the past six decades,
she has with gentleness, under
standing and persistence, given the
major portion of her time and in
credible energy toward the goal of
a world where all will be equally
free to share in the opportunities
of a free society without restraints
due to differences. Perception =
Conviction - Action - is her pat
tern for fostering respect across
racial and religious lines.
"The Christian Friends for Ra-
cial Equality, organized by her al
most 20 years ago as vehicle by
which people of different races
and religions might meet and come
to know each other, is a vital DEM
onstratiOn of the strength of those
convictions and her power to in
spire others to act against injus-
tice.
"a pioneer and leader against
prejudice and discrimination, she
called attention to the inhumanity
of restrictive covenants in deeds
of Seattle property long before the
Supreme Court invalidated such
deeds; she long ago Knocked on

In a Hurry to Die

An analysis of last years record
humber of highway accidents has dis
closed that nearly million men, women
and children were killed and injured by
the urge of drivers to '"step on the gas"
They were hurried to their graves or
hospital by too-prevalent tendency of
drivers to be impatient with speed limits
set for their safety.
According to a study made by the
Travellers Insurance Companies, more
than 40 per cent of all traffic accidents
in 1858 were caused by excessive speed.
Reckless driving not involving speed
accounted for 1914 per cent of the cas-
ualtieS, Failure to yield right of way
caused Is per cent of the injuries Slip
perry roads and bad weather played only
minor parts in the tragic story of high
way slaughter.
The findings Of the analysts Justify
the increasing use of radar to catch
speeders. They also justify the moves
toward sterner enforcement of speed
laws by police, prosecutors and judges
And very effective corollary of these
procedures is the point or other sys-
TENS for depriving dangerous drivers
of highway privileges Nothing can APP
ply the brake so well to those prone to
step on the gas as suspension or can
collation. OF their driving permits.

Slick Trick?

Newly designated Republican Ma
tional Chairman Morton may have won
his party few votes from proper gram
marians when he rewrote the G. o. P.
dictionary to identify the opposition as
the Democratic, not Democrat, Party.
For some of our most learned friends,
denying any partisan motivation, have
been simmering for years about what
they referred to as dramatically du-
bious" elision-arguing eloquently that
a noun should not be used to describe
another noun.
There is, too, the further conSidera-
ton that this rather tricky little gibe
has often caused deep feeling of in
suit to those loyal to the party of JET
ferson and Jackson. 1t may be unlikely
that Mr.. Morton expects to Subvert any
Democrats from voting Democratic. He
may, however, feel that he can lull them
into belief that he is such friendly
fellow there is no further need of being
belligerently angry about Republicans
either national chairmen or candidates
The Democratic Advisory Council may
deal with this poSSibility-the dangers
in coexiStence, as 1t were-in the near
future.

Questions Castro

Some questions for Mr..
Castro.
How is it possible for the
head of a state to overrule
his own court las Castro did
in the trial of the aviators) +.
and how is it possible in a
free country for the head of
the state to announce the
outcome of the second trial
(as he did while it is still
in progress?
How come no other politi-
cal parties are allowed to
form and why is public criti-
cism not permitted without
the criticizer being de-
nounced as a traitor?
How come the censorship
of the press is more strin-
gent than under Batista? Say
what you think down yonder
and your life of ponder be-
comes the life beyonder.
Last but not least, why is
Marxism being taught to
soldiers at La Cabana?
Any honest-to-goo
d-blooded Cuban would be
very happy to answer these
questions.

The Washington Metropolitan Area
will be a hotter-t han-ever hot spot
for hoodlumS and racketeers under the
co-ordinated law enforcement program
mapped out by regional police chiefs at
an FBI conference. Full cooperation
Of the Federal crime-buSting agency was
promised by FBI Director Hoover This
is the sort of teamwork which diScour-
ages criminals and heightens public con-
f1dence in law enforcement It has not
always been so in this area.
There was time, not so many
years ago, when Washington had the
reputation in the underworld of being
a safe place for many criminal activ-
tiles There was little liaison among
the county and city police departments
Of the area or between them and the
FBI. But things have changed, and
much of the credit is due to the co-ordi-
mating influence of the FBI National
Academy. 1t is significant that police
chiefs of eight of the jurisdictions in
nearby Maryland and Virginia are grad
yates Of the academy or are attending
current sessions. They have learned the
Importance of INTERPRETATIONS team

- Statistics have reflected the decline
In crime, especially that of the gang
type, in Washington and vicinity in re-
cent years Professional gambling has
been hard hit, although 1t has not been
wiped out by any means. The numbers
racketeerS are finding 1t increasingly
difficult to operate, however, with no as
surance any more that safe Ravens will

line. Mr.. Hoover urged the police off,

criminal elements that they can't light

word gets around the country that
community is unfair to hoodlumS," the
rowing robbers, "con" men and other
lawless elements are pretty sure to give
1t wide berth. We hope word Of the
latest anticrime move is spread around
the country-in places where 1t will do
the most good.

Moscow Bound

Only short time ago, Richard M.
Nixon might very well have been picked
as the man least likely to succeed on a
good will mission to Moscow. But times
change, and the Vice President, at Mr..
Eisenhower'S request, soon will be on his
way.
The outlook for this venture is
hopeful. For Richard Nixon is not the
same brash young man who burst upon
our national political scene in the
drivers seat Of an anti-Communist
bandwagon. In the intervening years
he has grown up and has learned lot.
He understands as well as any American
the true nature of the conflict between
the free and the Communist worlds. In
Moscow, he will be an authoritative
spokesman for the Vests point Of view,
and he will not be mesmerized by any
show Of good fellowship which Khru-
shchev and company may put on for
his benefit.
The important thing is not to ex-
pect too much from this journey. This
sort of personal contact" is useful, or
at least potentially useful, but 1t is not
the stuff of which political miracles are
made. If Mr.. Khruschchev is under
any illusions concerning the position of
the West, Mr.. Nixon can set him
straight. The Vice President should be
able to absorb some impression as to
what Is really in the Soviet mind, and
this could be helpful to the President if
a summit conference is held. But we
should not expect much more than this.
There remains the question of the
effect on Mr. Nixon's personal political
fortunes. This undertaking involves a
risky gamble on his part. If, at the
end East-WeSt relations worSen, or APP
pear to worsen, the Vice Presidents
political position will be hurt, perhaps
badly. If things get better, or appear to
get better, the Nixon stock should soar.
AS of the moment, the odds seem to
favor the latter.

Welfare Funds

The recent stroke OF genius
on the part of Congress in
cutting the District budget
seems unjustifiable.
Certainly there are many
benefiting under existing pro-
visions who in truth qualify
in no way for such help. But
surely this is an irrational
way of attacking the prob
lem. Many people, in partic-
ular mothers of families, are
in desperate need and there
is no other decent or ade-
quate way Of solving their
problems-sometimes tempo
rarily, sometimes permanent
ly. Many of the men respon-
sible for the plight of such
families have served their
country. and frequently the
physical. mental or even
moral inadequacy which pre-
vents them from caring for
their families is due in no
small measure to the effects
or after-effects of such serv-
ice.
It is easy to raise funds
for the unseen-the suffering
children in foreign countries.
OF course, we want to help
them. Their suffering is real
although the natural out
come of war. but it is no more
real and no more urgent than
the suffering on our own
doorstep. Senator Morse's
down-to-earth attempt to
feed hungry schoolchildren of
the District is indeed a splen-
did one, but how much bet
ter if the mothers Of these
children could be given the
opportunity and the pleas
ure of meeting these needs
where they should be met,

Lost in Three Weeks

President NaSser Of the United Arab
Republic has made a surprisingly out
spoken attack on the Soviet Union and
alleged Communist designs to mount.
"counter-revolution against Arab ma
tionalism" And perhaps even more
interesting than Colonel Nasser's UNI
equivocal charges is the fact that he
chose to make them by interview pub
hshed in an Indian newsmagazine, Blitz,
having wide circulation in a country
always highly sensitive to any foreign
threats against its own nationalist
movement. Currently troubled by Red
Chinese oppression in neighboring Tibet,
India is more than normally in a mood
to ponder thoughtfully the suggestion
that friendly association with commun-
ism merely opens the door to "subver-
sion and sabotage"
For Moscow, reading of the NaSser
charges must have been disconcerGing-
II not worse. 1t was at the annual Com
muniSt Party Congress in Moscow early
this year, the Egyptian President said,
that plans were made to organize an
all-Arab Communist undergraduates
signed to break up the UAR, to establish
a Red fertile crescent" (Iraq, Syria,
Jordan, Lebanon and Kuwait) with
Baghdad as its command post and to
substitute for the Arab nationalist
movement political front under their
domination. His answer, he added, was
ito tell the. Russians that we do not
want this new type of colonialism and
were not ready to sell our country for
700 million rubles of Soviet aid -. the
enormous Soviet good will built up over
three years of friendship was lost in less
than three weeks"
Actually, there has been evidence
before that Colonel NasSer was more
concerned than complacent about Com
muniSt activity in the Arab world, de-
spite his acceptance of Soviet arms and
aid on the Aswan Dam project. In
Egypt itself, the Red party is outlawed
and domestic political action Sternly
suppressed. The Egyptian-Syrian mer-
ger took place when there were signs
that the Syrian Reds were about to
take over the Damascus government
and Cairo has been increasingly antag-
oniStic toward the revolutionary gov
eminent of Premier KaSsem in Iraq as
evidence has mounted of Communist
influence in Baghdad.
The UAR President may have spoken
overconf1dently in his interview about
the strength of Arab nationaIism with
out foreign allies" He has made it
seemingly clear, however, that he is
under no further illusion that there is
any way to accommodate pan-Arabism
with communism. If he has learned
this lesson, and If the telling of it to
an Indian audience helps spread the
truth to an already questioning South
Asia, these are indeed promising devel-
opmentS.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Dulles Best Is Very Good
By GOULD LINCOLN

American people by charging
that Mr., Dulles. by his poll
cies. has carried us to the
brink Of war" They do not
stop to think that had II not
been for the firm stand taken
by Mr.. Dulles and the Pres
ident war would have been
much more likely.
The critics, too, have made
fun Of the reliance Of Mr..
Dulles and the President on
what they have called the
country's power of massive
retaliation" to any attack
that might be launched by
Soviet Russia or Red China.
Yet this power has held both
Russia and China IL check
not once but again and again.
Inflexible for Right
Another favorite charac-
terization Of Mr.. Dulles by
his critics has been that he is
"inflexible." He has been in
flexible in his opposition to
making agreements with the
Communist Russians and Chi
nese when neither the Rus
slams nor the Chinese have
given any cause for reliance
on their word. And wisely so.
Mr.. Dulles, like President
Eisenhower. has been willing
to talk, to confer and to ex-
plore avenues which might
lead to peaceful settlements
and an end Of the cold war.
Indeed. Mr.. Dulles has trav-
eled almost at the drop of q
hat to the far corners of the
world, seeking by personal
contact to advance the cause
OF peaceful adjustment, or
to strengthen our alliances.
At the same time, Mr.. Dull
les has not failed to take into
his confidence his assistants
in the State Department and
to build a strong team. 1t is on
that team that the new Sec
rotary of State will have to
rely, as has Mr.. Dulles him
self. Probably no man in
American public life today
has been so strongly inocu-
lated with diplomatic tradi-
ton and the facts of life of
American foreign policy, as
well as the foreign policies of
other nations, as Mr.. Dulles.
Foreign affairs have been
his avocation as well as his
vocation since he was a young
man. He has served his coun-
try in positions of great trust
under Democratic as well as
Republican Presidents. He
was a tower of strength in
drafting the treaty of peace
with Japan. He aided in the
drafting of the United Ma
tons Charter, and he has adj
vised the American delega-
tons which have attended
U. N. meetings.
He has stepped out of office
in the full knowledge he has
given his best to his country.
And his best has been ex-
tremely good, as history will
show.

numerous positions Of trust, including
terms as vice president OF the Amer
lean Council on NATO and as Assistant
Secretary Of Defense for International
Security Affairs under President Tru-
man and as a special consultant TO
President Eisenhower. His death two
years ago at the age Of AZ brought his
brilliant public service to an untimely
end. The Frank G. Nash Memorial
Lectures on international problems will
give appropriate recognition to his self
sacrificing dedication to the cause Of
peace and better government.

Defends Civil Defense

Senator Young, Democrat
of Ohio, assails the present
civil defense program as
"outmoded and obsolete as
Civil War cannonballs." 1
remember a Civil War can
nonball that recently came
into possession Of a member
of Congress, that proved far
from ineffective-if some
what outmoded.
Senator Young is deserving
of the greatest respect for
personal honesty and sim
certify but, as one who has
been associated with the
problems of nonmilitary de-
tense for the past several
years, I am convinced that
he speaks without adequate
investigation of his subject.
Senator Young is correct
that Mr.. Hoegh was defeated
for reelection as Republic
can Governor Of Iowa, but
many members of outstand-
ing ability in Senator Young's
own party land mine) have
paralleled this experience. l
am convinced that the serv-
ices of a man who-upon the
occasion of a battlefield pro-
motion-waS praised by his
commanding general for
keen foresight. sound tacti-
cal judgment, complete 10y
atty and tireless efforts"
should not be lost to the
Nation because of fluctuating
political sentiment.
I feel sure that, with ade-
quate research into the rea-
sons for Mr.. Hoegh's recon-
mendations that hometown
ers build basement shelters
and lay in two weeks supply
of food and water" Senator
Young would no longer de-
scribe these recommendations
as fantastic"
I know from personal ex-
perience that Leo A. Hoegh
would allow no political con-
sideration to influence him
in selection of a person most
capable of doing a specific
job. On the other hand, a
basic purpose of the civil
defense program is to pre-
serve the structure of our
Government so that the
people may continue to
choose who will represent
them in our legislative cham
bers, and our elected execu-
tives may appoint subordi-
mates who-because Of party
affiliations-may be counted
upon to properly interpret
the policies of those whom
they directly serve. In the
case of Mr.. Hoegh, the poll
cies are those of the elected
President of the United
States.
