Red China:
Cautions

midas Prime Minister Java
harlal Nehru on Friday warned
Communist China once more on
intimidation" New Delhi's re-
straint so far while Peiping has
rained insults and accusations
over the Tibet revolt should not
be interpreted as a sign of weak
ness, the Prime Minister said.
Chinese efforts to wipe out the
Tibetan theocracy, Mr.. Nehru told
Parliament, were wrong even if
some of the aspects of reform were
in themselves good. 1.-THE moment
a good thing is done by imposi-
ton, it becomes a bad thing" he
observed. Changes and reforms
in backward, lama-ruled Tibet
must come from the Tibetan peo-
pie themselves, the Indian leader
declared.
In Peiping, the official Peoples
Daily said the Nehru philosophy
defended "the cruelest and most
savage system of serfdom in the
world" China's rule would per-
NIT, the newspaper said. the shap-
ing of "a democratic, prosperous
Tibetan Autonomous Region :.
bound to be a factor in CONSOLE
dating and strengthening friend
ship between India and China"

Accused by Anderson

He was accused by his principal
critic, Senator Clinton Anderson,
Democrat of New Mexico, at one
point in the hearings of telling
the committee unqualified false
hoods"
In a voice taut with emotion,
Mr.. Strauss replied that he was
being attacked with false and
defamatory charges.
The questioning of Senator
Anderson, airman of the
Joint Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy. covered the gamut
of his long feud with Mr.. Strauss
over atomic policy. Despite the
bitter opposition of Senator An
derson and some other Democrats
to the Strauss appointment, how
ever, the Secretary is still ex-
pected to win eventual Senate
confirmation.
The CONNER Committee,
which hopes to wind up the
lengthy hearings this week, has
IL Democratic and six Republican
members. Indications are that
three or four Democrats will join
the G. o. P. minority to provide
the margin for committee ap-
proval of Strauss. The vote on
the Senate floor may be closer
than originally expected, but con-
firmation still appears virtually
certain.

Cites Lame Duck

He said the amendment should
be repealed because it makes a
'lame duck" out of a President
whose prestige and influence de-
cline in his second term.
Mr.. Eisenhower, the first Chief
Executive subject to the constitu-
tional limitation (Mr. Truman was
specifically exempted, has had
mixed feelings on the subject.
Last January he told a news
conference: eff I were asked to
give an opinion officially on this
now would say I would rather
see it repealed than be kept"
When the matter came up again
last Tuesday he recalled (erro-
neously) that the last time he had
expressed himself on the subject
he had said he thought that on
balance the amendment gives
greater assurance to America than
it's repeal would"
He does not feel like a lame
duck" and doesn't find that his
powers of Office have been dimin-
ished because he can't run again,
Mr.. Eisenhower added.
AS to repeal of the Twenty
second Amendment, he said, he is
willing to leave that to the good
Judgment Of the American people,
because I don't feel too strongly
about it."

Rogers in Opposition

The President completed his
about-face later in the week, when
it was announced that Attorney
General Rogers would oppose re-
peal of the two-term ban.
While many members of Con-
gress, including some Republicans,
now feel that the amendment was
a mistake in that it could deprive
the Nation of an indispensable
leader in time of crisis it is
doubtful that the move to repeal
will gain much momentum this
year.
If the Twenty-second Amend
ment is eventually repealed. as
now appears likely, the presi-
Dental succession act also passed
by the Republican 80th Congress
may also be strapped. To many
critics it makes even less sense
in that it could change the ma
tional administration from Re-
publican to Democratic or vice
versa overnight, a possibility that
makes politicians shudder.
Currently in the line Of success
sion behind Vice President Nixon
are two Democrats, House Speaker
Rayburn and Senate President
Pro Tempore Carl Hayden.

Presidency:
Changing Ruler

The Twenty-second Amendment
was approved by Congress in 1947
in a remarkable show of Republic
can unanimity. Not a single Re-
publican in either the House or
Senate voted against the conSti-
tutional restriction limiting future
Presidents to two terms in the
White House.
Democrats, who voted more
than 2-to-1 against the amend
ment that became effective with
its ratification by SO States in
1851, have long charged that it
was inspired chiefly by G. o. P.
spite against the long reign of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. For the
first time since ratification, there
is serious effort III the current
Democratic controlled Congress to
strike the Twenty-second Amend
ment from the Constitution.

States who is not restricted by
the two-term limitation, Harry S.

GERMANY'S ROLE

price, its best approach would be
to profess great indifference to
the purchase. But Chancellor
Adenauer could not agree to this
strategy. Whether in his heart
he really wants Identification or
not, he could not appear to his
people to have abandoned the eff
fort, lest his party be thoroughly
whipped in the forthcoming cleo
tons.
1t is at least conceivable, United
Nations optimiStS say, that the
two sides ultimately could come
together on a reunited and neu-
tralized Germany. Such a step
would roll back the Iron Curtain
at least to the Polish frontier, but
would have such a damaging eff
feet on NATO that other substi-
tute forms of security undoubtedly
would be required before the West
could agree.
Whatever the outcome, unless
of course the conference breaks
down in a hot war, Germany
seems likely to be gamer. Rarely,
if ever, has history seen a parallel
case in which the defeated enemy
of one decade was so largely the
master Of its victorS' fate in the
next.

Expressed in the Bill of Rights,
in the Fourth Amendment, it pro-
vides to every citizen safeguards
against unreasonable searches
and seizures"
By a 5-to-4 vote. the Supreme
Court last week held that the
Fourth Amendment does not offer
the inviolate protection against
the advancing tentacles of bu-
reaucracy that many Americans
had believed.
Before the high tribunal was
the case of Aaron D. Frank of
Baltimore, who was fined $40 by
the city for refusing to permit
health inspectors looking for rats
to enter his basement without a
search warrant.
In a far-reaching and contro-
versial decision, the f1ve-man
majority held in effect that the
welfare of the community out
weighs the limited rights of the
individual.
Time and experience have
forcefully taught that the power
to inspect dwelling places is of
indispensable Importance to the
maintenance of mmunity
health" declared Justice Frank
furter. speaking for the majority.
Speaking for the four diSsenters,
Justice Douglas took bitter issue
with the majority view. He saw
no logic in arming health inspec-
tors with more authority than that
possessed by police in their search
for narcotic peddlerS, rapistS,
kidnapers, murderers and other
criminal elements"
1.-THE decision today greatly
diluteS the right of privacy which
every homeowner had the right
to believe was part of our Ameri-
can heritage" he asserted.
Noting that Baltimore has
prosecuted only about one person
a year on similar charges, he
added:
"One rebel a year is not too
great a price to pay for maintain
ing our guarantee Of civil rights
in full vigor."

1T has 10 be planned as a place

These conflicting PHILOSOPHERS
are nowhere better demonstrated
than In the present controversy
over the location for a new
sports stadium.
Dispute on ArmoV
The Armory Board has recon-
mended that the stadium be built
In the center Of the bowl at the
foot Of East Capitol street. This
site has been approved by the
National Capital Planning Com
mission.
The Commission Of Fine Arts,
however, refused to go along with
this recommendation because the
site would "preempt for the ath-
letic stadium one Of the last I'M
portant sites now in reserve for
a great memorial. such as the
ones to George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln"
This monument would serve as
the eastern axis Of the East Mall.
AS an alternative the commits
sion has recommended a stadium
site northeast Of the National
Guard Armory. This site was
turned down by the Armory Board
on the advice Of an engineering
consultant but this did not seem
to carry much weight with the
Commission Of Fine Arts.

Posses on Store Fronts

Perhaps least understood by the
public is the controversy over the
commissions ruling on Pennsyl-
vania avenue signs and store
fronts.
One such case involves Martyrs
Restaurant at 11l3 Pennsylvania
avenue NV. The restaurant
changed hands two years ago and
a new neon sign was put up under
District regulation which permits
"repainting" of signs.
The Commission of Fine Arts
discovered this and complained to
the District government that it
had not been consulted. The res
taurant made another application
and it was forwarded to the COM
mission, which again turned down
the sign.
The District Department of Lii
cenSes and Inspections accepted
the commission recommendation
and ordered the sign taken down.
The restaurant then took it's case
to the District Board of Appeals
and Review, which also upheld the
commission.
This decision is now being re-
viewed by the District Corporation
Counsel. The commissions au-
thority is being challenged on
grounds that the Shipstead-Luce
Act does not specify that signs be
included in the review provisions.
The commission maintains, how
ever, that signs have lot to do
with the appearance of the city.
"Our position" said Mr.. Finley,
sis that we want to keep the city
dignified. We do not want to turn
the center of the Nations Capital
into Broadway"
Still before the commission is
the matter of new exterior on
Kann's Department Store at
Eighth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. The commission
agreed to let the store sheath part
of its building in blue, gray and
gold aluminium while a panel of
three architects looked on.
The commission approved the
materials but asked the store to
submit new design. This was done
but the commission has not yet
ruled on the revised plan.
Other recent controversies have
involved administrator of the Old
Georgetown Act, which gives the
Commission of Fine Arts reSpon-
sibility for preserving the histor-
ical character of Georgetown. IN
der this law, approved by Congress
in 1850, the District is required to
submit plans for new buildings or
alterations to the commission be-
fore issuing building permit.
On one occasion. a windowleSS
parking garage was turned down
on the advice of the commission
because it had no windows and its
exterior would not be made of
building materials customarily
employed during the (coloniaD
period covered by the act"
In another case, an uncolonial

esthetic quality Of structures along
the Panama Canal-are accepted
because Of the stature Of the COM
mission.
Aside from the Lincoln Memo
rial, one Of the commissions most
notable victories was selection
Of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
site. When construction Of a new
Potomac River bridge was pro-
posed in the 192Os, some officials
wanted it at New York avenue.
Wins Bridge Point
The commission insisted on a
Potomac Park-ArIington Gene
terry location. A bridge at these
points, the commission success
fully argued. would serve as a
monument as we'll as a bridge and
add to the sweeping beauty Of the
river scene from both shores. 1t
also pointed out that a bridge con-
Meeting the Lincoln Memorial with
the Arlington Cemetery would
symbolic the peaceful reunion Of
North and South after the Civil
War.
Another great controversy-and
one which the commission lost
decisively-took place in the
1940s when the commission rec
commended against addition Of a
portico balcony to the White
House.
In Directing to the project, the
commission said the balcony
would impair the original design
of the White House." President
Truman favored the addition and
a Nationwide dispute ensued. In
the end, the balcony was built and
President Truman replaced six
of the commissions seven men,
bers when their terms expired.
Frequently the commission
agrees to compromise. A case in
point is the Constitution avenue
Theodore RooseveIt) bridge. The
commission did not want bridge
at all, but a tunnel.
I'VE felt that a bridge too close
to Memorial Bridge would destroy
the fine appearance Of the area"
said Mr.. Finley. But we were
told that a tunnel would cost
three times as much and it had
to be a bridge. If we couldn't
have a tunnel, we wanted bridge
that would do the least damage"
After years of disagreement,
general accord was reached about
a year ago on design and loca-
ton. The bridge, on which work
is to begin next year, will pass
over the lower tip of Roosevelt
Island.

Age in the Space Age:
Flyers From Is to =?

at the age of l6 years and a
single day.
There is great contrast in the
CAP in flying ages, probably
more than in any other phase
Of civil aviation. Flying members
range up into the 70s in the
age bracket.
Among civilians one of the
country's most notable examples
is Mrs. Zaddie Bunker, a Cali
fornia grandmother in her middle
70s, who flew her new, twin-engine
private plane to Las Vegas, New.
late last month for the World
Congress of Flight.
Another is William Piper,
founder of Piper Aircraft, Lock-
haven, Pa, who still flies many
and most of his firms planes at
70-plus.
Military regulations Of recent
years have put a crimp in early
day accomplishments when, as
biographers have quite often re-
corded, a career ground officer or
naval man "wOn his wings when
he was AZ"
The Top Age Is Is
Now the same rules apply to
the career man as to the cadet
just learning to fly. In the Air
Force the cadet must be 10, but
can't be over 261a years old. SINH
lar rules apply in the Navy.
In commercial aviation a man
couldn't legally acquire the edu-
cation and flying time experience
to be flying even as a co-pilot be-
fore he's 20.
Yet in most instances, airlines
have no mandatory retirement
age.
Only recently Northwest Air
lines Leon "Deke" DeLong retired
at IS. His retirement was about
the same time as an announce
ment that the Federal Aviation
Agency is studying a proposal to
limit the age of commercial jet
pilots to 60.
Northwest officials, lauding Pilot
belongs service, said 1--WE think
it is significant that in reaching
this milestone, Deke has provided
an answer to the skeptics who
question how long a man can re-
main a good air line pilot.
"Deke'S record is Exhibit A in
witness of the fact that it all de-
ponds on the man."
