No Place Like Home

The President has come back looking
remarkably f1t from his arduouS venture
in personal diplomacy. Very few men
of his age could have stood the pace and
many who are his juniors would have
been worn to a frazzle after 19 days
devoted to travelling $4,000 miles through
II nations on three continents. And
while Mr.. Eisenhower seems to thrive on
this sort of thing, we venture to say
that he is in hearty accord with John
Howard Payne's belief that there's no
place like home"
Now that the trip is over, there
remains the inevitable question: Was 1t
worth the time and the effort? Was
anything accomplished which couldn't
have been done as well through the
regular diplomatic processes? The an
swer, in our opinion, Is definitely yes,
although the benefits do not lend
themselves readily to being weighed or
measured.
For one thing, assuming that the
physical effort is not too great, 1t Is
good thing to get out and see at flrSt
hand the people, the places and the
problems with which one is concerned.
And this certainly is no less true or
Presidents than of other people. A
trip such as Mr.. EiSenhower's also is
a good thing because, however intan-
gibly, it makes its contribution to
mood and a climate that are conducive
to better understanding and which, IN
some degree, help to establish better
relationships.
It probably is true that no real
solutions have been found for outStand-
ing problems, although more may have
been achieved in this respect than we
know. But this is not an essential ingre-
dent of successful trip. Problems can
be worked out later. This trip was worth
while If Mr.. Eisenhower succeeded IN
convincing his hosts that the United
States, as a matter of enlightened self
interest, is genuinely concerned with
peace and their well-being; and, also,
If he was able to make some headway
In countering Communist propaganda
picturing our own country as the foun-
tain head of greedy imperialism. We
think he has enjoyed notable success
In these respects, and this is why we
are happy to join in saying: Well done,
and welcome home.

For Their Own Benefit

The Commissioners, in proposing
changes in the working hours of many
Federal employees, were primarily con-
cerned with relieving traffic congestion
for the city as a whole. But the en-
ployes who would be affected by the
new hours would be special beneficiaries
of the program. The prospect Of fewer
traffic snarls and faster progress be-
tween home and Office should tend to
offset any disadvantages Of earlier ris-
Ing, altered lunch hours and the like
which would be entailed in some in
stances.
Under the Commissioners plan, some
$1,000 Government workers would start
for work and leave for home earlier.
The schedule shifts would range from
IS minutes to half an hour, depending
on office location. The proposal is the
result of special study which revealed
the advisability of spreading the inflow
and outflow of workers over longer rush.
hour periods. It was found that more
than a third of the Federal workers
leave their offices at pm. or later
and this is when traffic congestion
reaches its afternoon peak. BY releas-
ing part of this force between and S,
traffic authorities hope that some of
the worst jams will be averted or at
least moderated.
The shift of schedule would have to
be approved by the Federal Budget
Bureau-and the bureau undoubtedly
would consider carefully the reactions
OF the employees and supervisors. If the
plan can be worked out satisfactorily
to all concerned, the daily Slowdowns
and tieupS which plague all motorists
during weekday rush hours could be
substantially ameliorated.

Stress on Science

A group Of educators has found
that the Naval Academy is readjusting
its curriculum to fit the needs of the
new era of chronological warfare-but
the readjuStment should go further. In
general the investigating committee,
headed by DR.. Richard G. Folsom, presi-
dent of Rensselaer, Polytechnic Insti-
tute, agreed with Vice admiral Lyman
G. Rickover that today's graduates of
the academy are not being sufficiently
prepared to cope with the complexity
of war techniqueS in an age of nuclear
weapons, nuclear power, rockets and
electronicS. The committees findings
ought to expedite the efforts Of the
academy to keep its books and lectures
in pace with the fast-moving military
evolution of our times
The report praised ga number of
significant improvements" in the cur
riculum recently instituted at Annapolis.
These changes were designed to broaden
and deepen the studies in mathematics,
engineering and the sciences, with spe-
cial reference to nuclear developments.
However, the educators recommended
that the courses in mathematics and
the physical sciences be expanded even
more, that additional attention be given
to analytical treatment of naval science
subjects, that naval instructors be given
more graduate preparation in their par
ticular subjects, that greater opportu-
nifty for research be afforded civilian
faculty members, that entrance require
ments be stiffened and that the mid
Shipmen be given less cruise training
so they can spend more time in class.
The report also suggested that the
courses in the social sciences and the
humanitieS be strengthened.
If the recommendations of the COM
mittee are adopted-and some or all of
them undoubtedly will be-the middies
of the future will have to do even more
boning than their predecessors. The 60
ing may be rough for while, but the
young officers who survive the courses
will be thankful for what they have
learned. For their learning well may
mean the difference between death and
survival of their ships and shipmates in
some crisis of the future.

whether the kids ought to

nese, ETC., in the third grade.
I doubt if they should so long
as they are kept in total un-
relieved ignorance of short
division. From what I can
learn I doubt if a single child
short of the eighth grade, un-
less taught at home in de-
f1ance of specific instructions,
could divide 1928 by 2 with
out using long division. And
he would end up by ensconc-
ing an RI at the tail end of
the quotient.

Andrew Blngham'S stories
on D. c. schools are interest
ing. as are all efforts to shed
light on educational facilities
whether District or elsewhere.
With four children in three
schools I am supplied data
in abundance to study-and
file. A parent might as well
file this data. You can't fight
city hall. Arithmetic (the less
it's taught the more it's
called mathematics), and So
cial studies, are particularly
rich sources of data to file.
The ivory-tower set in
charge of curricula for ele-
mentary children Is now in
a perfect frenzy about
science. Molecular physics,
jet propulsion, and such like
are standard fare for tykes
who may never be taught to
correctly write the arabic nu-
merals or the more difficult
letters such as a, o, x. But
then one shouldn't be unrea-
sonable. Our kids have come
home with some unbelievable
things that they have been
taught. Someone needs to
tell the curriculum makers
that our colleges and our high
schools could teach math and
physics faster if they did not
first have to teach reading,
writing and arithmetic.
The lady physicist teaching
at Sidwell Friends sounds
just too righteous about not
being interested in teaching
the markup Of a used-car
dealer. She ought to teach
that in Washington. Most Of
its school population will pre-
sumably need that very in
formation, judging from the
reports we have of some
used-car-lot margins. In elite
schools, arithmetic surely
needs reference to business
since such schools probably
hope to number many law
makers" among their alumni.

comparison, do the marks on
the two bullets always match
exactly? M. D.
A. This depends on wheth-
er the gun has been fired in
the meantime. According to
the American Rifleman, the
marks that the gun barrel
makes on the bullet change
from time to time as the gun
is used. Hence if the gun is
fired at all between the time
of the crime and the time Of
the test bullet, the marks
may have changed so much
that they will not match.
@. Is the language which
Jesus used still spoken? P. C.
A. The use of Aramaic, the
language probably spoken by
Jesus, died out in the 7th
century Of the Christian era.
Aramaic is now reported as
spoken by only a few thou
sand persons, mostly Chris
tians, living in some small
villages near Damascus in
Syria.

@. When the flag Of the
United States is displayed
with flags of other nations,
what is it's proper position?
L. H.
A. The U. S. flag code states
that when flags Of two or
more nations are displayed,
they are to be flown from
separate stats Of the same
height, and that the flags
used should be Of approx
mately equal size. Interna-
tional usage forbids the
display of the flag of one
nation above that of another
nation in time of peace. In
1858, Congress passed a bill
to permit the U. N. flag to be
flown above the flag of the
United States and those of
other member nations at U.N.
headquarters in New York.

the heavens. Temp Jones saw
it all in one binding flash.
Men, he foresaw, will have
to be abolished.
They have had thousands
Of years to make this a good
world, and they have failed.
We stand now on the brink
Of complete annihilation.
The 100 per cent males, the
tobacco users, the whisky
drinkers. the gun toters and
the cruel ones, will have to
go.
The world Of living things
can TO longer tolerate them.
They have been tried in the
fiery furnace Of their own
wars and self-made troubles,
and have been found wanting.
In Jones dream, it was all
very clear.
The males Of the race had
been put away somewhere,
the matches closed down, and
the key given into the keep
ing of somebody feminine.
This world was run better.
There was only clear skies,
sunshine and happy smiles
in this world.
1t was a land of entertain
ment, roses and fun.
Uncouth and blatant males,
covered with whiskers, had
been put out of sight for
good, except when they might
be needed for such tasks az
cleaning the streets, building
things and repairs.
A few might be let out.
but they had no place in the
new republic of the world,
run by and for humanity.
Only a few happy entertain
ers, and Templeton Jones
recognized himself as one Of
these.
That this picture has it's
flaws, few will dispute. How
can it be done? The dream
did not answer. Dreams
never do. They only point to
the future.
Laugh at this dream. if you
will. This preview of the
future world stands on it's
own feet. It is useless to
say that it has been tried
before and doesn't work.
Nonsense" says Temple
ton Jones. THE bees and
WaSps have made it work"
If Jones dream doesn't
come true, what else is there
left except annihilation?
