Salute to CosobIonco'

The District Of Columbia is pleased
and honored to have as its guest the
distinguished Governor Ahmed Bargach
Of Casablanca, Morocco. He has come
here in response to an invitation ex-
tended to him in 1857 by Commissioner
Mclaughlin, and after his visit among
us-which is part of the American Mu-
nicipal Associations "People-to-People"
programme will make a month-long
tour of the United States, which has
maintained close and friendly ties with
his country ever since the days of George
Washington.
Fittingly enough, the District Com
missioners have formally proclaimed a
Salute to CaSablanca" for the period of
Governor Ahmed's stay in Washington,
where he will remain until Saturday
afternoon. We hope he enjoys every
minute Of the visit, and we hope the
same for his coming travels to various
parts of our country. He can be sure
that Americans everywhere will welcome
him not only as the head Of great and
colorful city, but also as friend from
proud and ancient land that cherishes
freedom.

The Anti-Semitic Issue

In our opinion, having followed as
closely as possible the Senate fight over
Lewis L. Strauss, there is no reason to
believe that his critics are influenced by
religious bias. Those who have at
tempted to destroy Mr.. Strauss may
have been motivated by many things.
But we do not think that anti-Semitism
is one Of them.
We agree with Senator Morse.
The anti-Semitic insinuations, as he
says, are vicious propaganda" And as
Mr.. Morse claims, they also are attempts
to falsely pin the anti-Semitic label on
him and on others.
For the record, however, Mr.. Morse
has been working overtime pinning
labels on Mr.. Strauss. He has said that
Mr.. Strauss is an enemy of the people"
an enemy of democracy" a dealer in
"half-truths," and similar rot 1t seems
to us that all of those who protest in
such anguished terms when they are
smeared unjustly as being anti-Semitic
should be little less eager to smear Mr..
Strauss. For the chances are that he
feels the sting of vicious propaganda"
just as keenly as his critics.

Back on the Track

The Army Engineers survey Of the
Potomac River Valley - an important
preliminary to development of a secure
water supply-will be able to get back
on the track If recommendations Of the
House Appropriations Committee are
adopted Congress derailed the survey
last year when it gave the engineers less
than half the sum required to carry on
the study and then barred any use Of
the money in the area where the survey
is most needed-between Great Falls
and Harpers Ferry.
Now the committee has approved
100000 for resuming the survey-just
twice the amount granted last year
and has lifted the restriction against
operations in the watershed immedi-
ately above Washington. The studies
In this part of the basin are needed not
only to determine how best to insure an
adequate future supply Of water for the
Washington Metropolitan Area but to
devise fiood-control and antipollution
measures. Actually, the Army says that
100000 is required to put the survey
back on schedule, so that the target date
of 1861 can be met. We hope the House
and the Senate will go further than the
House committee in providing the means
for early completion Of the survey.

II Premier KhruShchev really wants
a heads-of-government summit confer
ence, he had better bride his tough
talking tongue and instruct Andrei Gro
myko to be less unyielding and more
accommodating at the Geneva foreign
ministers meeting.
This is the plain implication of what
President Eisenhower has just said at
his news conference. In his judgment,
the foreign ministers up to now have
made no detachable progress that
would justify the holding Of summit
meeting" More than that, the Soviet
Premier recently has given voice to
statements certainly not calculated to
ease tensions and to promote a re-
Taxed atmosphere" for the negotiations
at Geneva.
The offending statements have in
cluded missile brandishing warnings to
Italy and Greece and reaff1rmation by
Mr.. Khrushchev that he is still thinking
Of signing separate peace treaty with
the East Germans treaty under which
they would be given control over the
Vests access routes to free Berlin. Such
talk adds up to menacing kind of
diplomacy, and Mr.. Eisenhower has
answered it effectively enough, though
with almost excessive restraint, in de-
claring that II don't see how the head
of any self-respecting government can
go to an international conference in
response to any kind of thing that can
ha intarnrotad q q throat
AS for what he believes is needed
to persuade him to take part in a sum-
NIT meeting, the President has spoken
in rather vague generalities, perhaps
deliberately so. But he nevertheless has
strongly indicated that one of the es-
sential preconditions must be firm Soviet
assurances against any move-such as
Mr.. Khrushchev has Suggested-that
might impede, diminish or interfere with
Western rights in Berlin. Beyond that,
Mr.. Eisenhower has called only for
enough progress at Geneva-modest
progress Of a detachable sort-to hold
out the promise that a heads-of-gov-
eminent get-together would be worth
while.
In an effort to promote this kind
Of progress, the West now has sub
mitted new plan at Geneva. 1t is a
plan that would effect a symbolic re-
duction Of French, British. American
and Russian troops in partitioned Ber-
lin. 1t would also impose curbs on
"subversive" activities in both parts of
the city-activities about which the
.Kremlin has made a lot of loud and
phony complaints Now our side awaits
Foreign Minister Gromyko's answer.
To repeat, if Premier Khrushchev
is genuinely anxious for a heads-of-
government meeting, he will tell Mr..
Gromyko to respond in more or less
reasonable spirit. Otherwise, and rightly
so, President Eisenhower will become
more allergic than ever to the idea of
traipsing of to the summit.

Conditions in Geneva

I thought you might be
interested in the viewpoint
of an American-half tourist
and half would-be native Of
the wonderful city Of Geneva.
I speak French and a little
German, so ! feel that I've
really made contact with the
Genevois.
The foreign ministers con-
ference is killing the tourist
trade. Geneva, which was
alive with visitors shortly be-
fore the conference started,
is dead. Business in the res
taurants and many Of the
hotels Is about on a par with
the winter trade, which Is
slow.
The same was not true at
the atomic energy conference
in September. Apparently the
scientists and experts COM
pensated by their spending
for the tourists they scared
away.
/ feel strongly about this
because q good friend Of mine
is q restaurateur and has
been hard hit. Anybody who
thinks we are doing the peo-
pie Of Geneva a favor by
holding conferences there is
mistaken. We are really ruin
ing them.
Geneva is a perfect city for

Farewell to Schools

The stage seems set in Virginia's
Prince Edward County for a decisive test
of desegregation in community whose
people will not accept integrated schools.
This is anything but a happy devel-
opment. But it does not come as sur
prise, for the people of Prince Edward
have made it plain from the beginning
that they would abandon their public
schools before they would integrate
them. 1t was this fact Of community
resistance, more than anything else,
which persuaded Federal Judge Hutch
eson that the desegregation issue should
not be forced at this time. He was over
ruled by the Fourth Circuit Court, how
ever, which decreed that desegregation
must begin in September.
The response of the county's six
man board of supervisors has been the
unanimous adoption of a resolution stat
ing that "it will not levy any taxes for
the year 1959-60 for either the operation
of public schools or for educational pur-
poses" This means that the county au-
thorities are bidding farewell to their
doned. In their place, system Of pri-
vate schools will be operated by private
corporation for white children. Nothing
has been done to provide schools for
colored children, who constitute ma
jority of the county's school population,
nor for the placement Of colored teach
ers. And it seems evident that the
Prince Edward authorities have no in
tention of doing anything for them.
This, we think, is heavy price to
pay. There are those who contend that
popular resistance must not be per-
nitted to stand in the way Of enforce
ment of the Supreme Courts decision.
They may be right, both in theory and
in principle. Even so, the practical con-
siderations remain with us.
Chief among these is the high prob
ability, If not the certainty, that the
experience in Prince Edward County is
going to be duplicated in hundreds and
hundreds of other communities in the
South as the desegregation drive is ex-
tended The public school systems are
going to be abandoned, and the educa-
ton of all the children is sure to suffer.
Those who will suffer most, however, at
least in the foreseeable future, are the
colored children-the children who were
supposed to have been the principal
beneficiaries Of the Supreme Court
ruling.
This is why Judge Hutchinson advo-
Gated delay, and this is why we have
thought that he was wise in doing so.
We are very much afraid that bitter
and even tragic-experience is going to
confirm this view.

Model for Diplomats

If composite picture were to be
drawn of a model diplomat, it might
well be a portrait of Baron Silvercruys,
who retired this week after Al years
in the Belgian diplomatic service. For
nearly 16 of these years, he has been
his country's Ambassador to the United
States. AS 1t happens, Baron Silver
cruys began his diplomatic career here
in 1918 with the initial assignment of
planning visit to the United States by
King Albert and Queen Elizabeth Of
Belgium. His final major assignment
was to make similar arrangements for
the visit last month by King Baudouin.

No FUn at PIoyoround

Our Hyattsville neighbor-
hood children began to play
baseball in the street. They
lodged automobiles and an
moved property owners. I
volunteered to take the boys
to their school playground
several nights a week.
On May % we went to
EVANSVILLE Junior High.
There are two ball fields
there. and. since neither was
occupied, we picked the better
one and started our game. A
short time later. some men
arrived and / inquired II they
were going to play a game
where we were. Receiving an
Affirmative answer, I moved
my group to the other cor
ner and began play once
more. Soon, however, three
automobiles drove up and
the occupants started to
force my 8 and 10 year olds
of the field. In my discus
sion with these invaders, I
was informed that they be-
longed to a Hyattsville church
league Of young adults. The
first team on the other dia-
mond also belonged to the
same church. I was amazed
that adults, and especially
members Of a church team,
would show such lack Of good
manners. such forceful be-
havior. and such personal
abuse as they did in their de-
sire to force small children
from a public school field.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Morse Attacks Neuberqer Aqoin
BY GOULD LINCOLN

in the campaign next year to
point out to the voters Of
Oregon "the sorry record"
Senator Neuberger has made
on issue after issue. and let
the record speak for itself.
Senator Neuberger sent TO
newspapers In Oregon q reply
TO the Morse speech In Mari
on. It was then that Senator
Morse told the Portland Ore
gonian he would oppose the
reelection Of Senator Neu-
berger next year.
He Needs q Candidate
Whether Senator Morse
win persist In this attitude
remains to be seen. Further,
there must be O candidate In
the primary next year to
oppose Senator, Neuberger.
Whether Senator Morse can
and will produce one also Is o
question. The Oregonian, in
it's story last week of the
Morse determination to de-
feat his colleague, mentioned
Representative Edith Green
and former Gov. Holmes as
possible selections. Mr..
Holmes said flatly, however.
he would never run against
Senator N berger. Mrs.
Green, while she left the door
open to running. said she had
no intention Of becoming q
candidate for the senatorial
nomination.
However, II Senator Morse
goes through with his plan to
try to defeat Senator Neu-
berger next year it win ere.
ate q muddled situation. For
example. leading Democrats
and offlceholders will have
to decide whether to back the
senior or junior Senator in
this struggle-and this may
not be easy. Also, Oregon has
a comparatively early presi-
Dental preference primary,
in which a number Of Demo-
cratic aspirants may be en-
tered. II they go into the
State to campaign. they may
find it difficult to speak
glowing words about either Of
the warring Senators. Also,
should Senator Neuberger win
the Democratic senatorial
nomination, Senator Morse
would be confronted with
need Of supporting the man
he had been reviling-or run
ming out on the Democratic
Party.
This ruction between the
two Democratic Senators nat
urally is relished by the Re-
publicans. They. too. will
have to decide on a senatorial
candidate Of their own. They
were able last year to elect
an attractive young Cover
nor. Mark o. Hatfield. How
ever. If Gov. Hatfield should
be nominated and win for
the Senate. he would have to
turn the governorship over
to q Democrat for the fol-
lowing two years-the presi-
dent Of the State Senate,
Walter Pearson. a Portland
attorney. This the Republic
cans would not like.
incidentally, Senator Morse
seems to be laying up trouble
for himself If and when he
seeks reelection In 1862.
Those who live by the polit-
ical sword sometimes die
by it.

Gornishment Law

The Star Of May 20 re-
ported Senat tor Langer's
statement to a Senate Dis
trict subcommittee that gar
nishment should be abolished
in the District. I own a col
lection agency. and such leg
islation is of importance to
my business. No garnishment
is a blind mans approach to
the problem of abuses Of
punishment laws in the Dis
trict by so-called Seventh
street credit houses"
I do not represent any Of
these stores. and wish to have
no part of their collection
business. I am in sympathy
with Senator Langer's feel
ing, and those of many others
in our field, that these stores
have used the total garnish-
ment laws to excess, and that
a fairer punishment enact
ment is sorely needed. The
type of bill now before the
Senate District subcommittee
would solve all the problems
of garnishment which seem
to be vexing Senator LANCER.
It would eliminate the ex-
cesses of the Seventh street
stores" in use of the garnish-
ment law, and would also
make them aware that they
must SCREEN their credit
buyers before they sell, other
wise they will not have re-
course to garnishment to col
lect. The new garnishment
enactment would help all the
collection agencies and attor-
neys in collection practice by
knowing that such attach
ment can be made, and even
If you are second or third in
line for punishment, when
your time comes, you will be
paid as the law specifies with
out depriving the employe OF
money for his food, clothing,
living, etc. This Is a more
equitable arrangement. and

tain, favor such a garniSh-
ment law. Hank Kravetz.

Marriage CounseIing

Miss Miriam Gutenberg and
your newspaper are to be
commended for the recent
series on marriage COUNSEL
ing.
The Family Service As
ISOLATION of America and its
almost 300 family casework
agencies are providing mar
rage counseling to a sub
stantial number Of distressed
couples. Our counselors have
special training and expe-
rience and work under the
supervision and auspices Of
recognized family service
agencies supported by united
community campaigns.
The experience Of our
counselors has shown that
they deal with complex prob
lens which are difficult for
the most skilful. When ap-
propriate they use the con-
sultation of psychiatrists and
other. specialists, and they
have full knowledge Of COM
munity resources.
We believe that your paper
has performed a real public
service in helping make the
public aware Of the fact that
there are unqualified people
calling themselves marriage
counselors who may actually
harm rather than help. The
established agencies and pro-
LESSONS need your continued
cooperation in protecting the
people a against unqualified
practitioners.

counSeling. We have been
very concerned about the un-
qualified persons who have
set themselves up as mar
riage counselors.
I feel that the articles were

of this agency, may I thank
and commend you for your
excellent coverage Of this

be better than an insect
attractor.

AS explained here not long
ago. special attention must
be paid by the thin skinned
to the areas lacking in fat
beneath the skin.
These are the corners Of
the mouth. the bridge Of the
nose, the elbows, knees and
tips Of the ears.
The skin is a wonderful
organ. 1t is far more than
just a covering. The photo
synthesis which controls sun
tanning is one Of the wonders
Of nature.
On all skins over 20 years
old there will be spots, here
and there. especially on the
forehead, where nature tends
to build up plaques. as the
doctors say, when exposed to
much sunshine.
These spots need extra pro-
lection. Sometimes q dab Of
calamine lotion will serve.
\ 4 \
Male members of the fam
lily. whether at home or shore,
will do well to make their
sun preparations in secret,
since not all persons, even to-
day. understand the neces-
sity.
Men who use cosmetics are
laughed at, as q general
proposition. and perhaps
rightly. but use of q sun pro-
tecting lotion may be essen
tial. It is easier to apply
them without comment; this
should be done in advance,
and nobody will be the wiser,
since the better ones do not
show.
There is no argument
about the modern suntan
preparations. If you do not
need them. all right: this ap-
plies to both men and women.
Some Of the latter even pride
themselves on alligator skins.
But they will be sorry. later
on.

Disaqrees With Us

As q regular reader Of The
Star for many years I have
usually agreed with you and
have found you to be a pro-
ponent of things beneficial to
the city Of Washington. It is.
therefore. with disappoint-
ment and amazement to find
you in favor Of a four-lane
highway through Glover
Archbold Park, as expressed
editorially May 30.
Glover-Archbold Park Is
long and narrow and the pro-
posed highway viii destroy
most Of the beautiful trees
now growing in unspoiled
beauty in the park.
Apart from the evident
dishonesty Of destroying q
park, donated for park pur-
poses only. and using 1t as q
highway. the writer Of the
editorial has ignored entirely
the irreparable damage to
Wesley Heights. one Of WASH
ington's most lovely residen-
tial sections, and damage TO
the Glover Park section Of
the city.
The highway through the
park is not required. 1t viii
not materially help the traf-
fic situation and actually viii
cause congestion at its south
ern intersection with the
roads on Potomac River. It
will without doubt spread
the blight which has en-
quilted the city as far west as
Sixteenth street and cause a
further rush to the suburbs.
It Is suggested that you
give this matter more en-
lightened consideration, and
use all your influence to re-
stricting any road in Glover
Archbold Park to the type
now found in Rock Greek
Park and other parks.
