look at Mr.. Bowles' thinking
may do so in a new, short,
to-the-point book - The

In it he describes the de.
velopment Of what we call
the American Dream" The
United States, says Chester
Bowles, has had three great
eras Of dynamic, Affirmative

Bill Of Rights was adopted;
when the two-party system
grew out Of the clashing

second was in Lincoln's day
and the third in the Rooses

Representative Bowles be-

Of dynamic growth. The 1860
election will determine it.
His views Of the Republi-

up as follows:

u. S. Seen on Verge of Dynomic Growth
Period-Depending on 1860 Elections
RALPH McGILL

It is a caustie commentary
on the Democratic Party that
at a time when it seems so
discouraged by the prospects
of its avowed seekers after
presidential nomination,
Chester Bowles, whose COM
pass has always pointed in
the right direction, is not be-
ing vigorously advanced as
the possible nominee.
He is q member Of the Con-
gresS from Connecticut. He
was a successful Governor Of
that State. As an ambassador
to India he achieved a repu-
tation for himself and his
country not previously at
tained by any ambassador to
postwar Asia. He earlier had
demonstrated his executive
ability in business and ad-
vertising and as a wartime
price administrator.
Mr.. Bowles is a man pos
sessed of the political assets
Of a commanding appearance
and a personality which is
quiet, friendly and inspiring
Of confidence. He is a person
Of demonstrated intelligence.
1t was my privilege to see
him at work in India. I
know from Nehru himself
that Chester BowleS rendered
immense service to his coun-
try-and. therefore, to India.
Mr.. Bowles was there when
India was in her first years
as republic. He sought, with
good success, to give to In
dians, and through them to
Asia, an image of the United
States as a country born of
revolution against great
odds. 1t is largely due to him
that our relations with the
young government in that
ancient land were established
on a friendly, working basis
and have so remained.
Chester Bowles has always

considered a Peronist leader,
and Benjamin Menendez, who
has been linked with National
iSt groups.
The government gave out no
details on the alleged plots.
Aside from the arrests of a
few labor leaders, there were
no signs of breakdown.

No License,

A 57-year-old "irisologist, I"
arrested yesterday, will appear
in Municipal Court to answer
a charge of practicing medicine
without a license.
Max o. Garten of Dulzura.
Calf, was arrested by two de-
tectives in a downtown hotel
after he looked into a police
woman's eyes and diagnosed
her trouble as an abdominal
boil
Deputy Police Chief Roy E.
Blick said Garten came to
Washington about a week ago
with a schedule of lectures and
a list Of local people who were
interested in health foods. He
gave one lecture at the hotel
and then invited those needing
individual treatment to con-
suit him in his room, Inspector
Blick said.
The policewoman was sent to
see Garten, Inspector Blick
added, after a complaint was
turned in by a woman who al
ready had been to the self
styled "irisologist." The iris IS
a part of the eve.
Deputy Chief Blick said Gar
ten advised the policewoman to-
return with a urine specimen
and a nightgown to wear dur
ing the treatment. The com
plainant said she had been
given Simila" instructions. When
the policewoman returned to
Garten's room, Inspector Blick
said, the man told her he would
cure her through bloodless
surgery-a half hour of manip-
ulation. Garten was then ar
rested.
In Garten's room, police said
they found his luggage packed
for departure, so specimen bot

ten was arraigned before Mu-
nicipal Court Judge George D.

CdJlOu.
At a press conference after
the luncheon meeting, discus
sion leaders for the two-day
meeting said they felt that the
proposed plan generally had
been received favorably and
that the 300 delegates would
return to their counties to help
develop support for it.
The new plan would abolish
State support Of a minimum
program and substitute for it
a system in which the State
would be pledged to support
IS per cent of the total cost of
education. The percentage
State support would vary, how
ever, from a low of 81 per cent
in Baltimore City to 81 per
cent in Somerset County.
BOLD Thinking" Seen
Mr.. Schmidt said that the
new program provides the
bold imaginative thinking"
that is needed to meet today's
problems and is geared to pro-
viding the maximum or opti-
mum for our use"
According to State School
Supt. Thomas G. Pullen, jr.,
the State last year paid about
$l13 of the estimated 1929 per
child cost of the State minimum
program. He added, however,
that the actual per pupil cost
of public schooling last year
was 1915.
Maryland during the last
school year spent some $50
million in State aid for public
schools. Under the new plan,
State aid would be increased
to at. least $110 million in
the fifth year of a five-year
transitional period.
The cumulative cost over the
transitional period would ex-
ceed by at least $50 million
the anticipated increases in
State aid under the present
system.
DR.. Pullen took issue with
arguments that the plan calls
for the Governor and the Leg
islature to abdicate its author
ity to determine how fast
school expenditures would be
increased. He said the Legis-
lature could provide a ceiling
on a per pupil cost basis be-
yond which it would not share
and could write into the pro-
posed law specific programs
that would be excluded.
Won't Go to Legislature
He later said that he did
not anticipate submitting the
plan to the Legislature at the
1860 session.

exports. / do not agree. Last
years decline in our exports was
due largely to a world recession
which accompanied our recession
here at home. 1t was also due, in
some measure, to political ten
sions abroad.
In my opinion, the real impact
of Euromart on u. S. foreign trade
is yet to come. As this united trade
program of France, West Germany,
Belgium, Luxembourg, The Neither
lands, and Italy gathers steam,
many traditional European mar
kets for our goods will absorb less
than their usual amounts. Some of
these markets will be closed to us
entirely. So far, Euromart has not
hurt our exports much, perhaps be-
cause it has been slow in getting
under way.
CHALLENGE, NOT THREAT
Our foreign trade need not be in
long-term period of decline. Our
trade position is not so much
threatened as it is challenged by
the European Common Market. 1t
is challenged also by the growing
importance of Great Britain. She

THE HUMAN RACE ENDUREs

Practically every speaker, including those
on The air and behind the pulpit, and most of
the writer's for the press, are busy advertis-
ing the crisis at hand for humanity.
This is the day of great decisions, they
assert, almost in unison, and, upon the deci-
sions we make now rests the hope of human
ity for future years. The general idea is to
excite the emotions of readers and listeners,
and thus persuade them to ''unselfish ac-
tion", which, it is suspected they will not
accept on the basis of intelligent argument.
While the people of the world do face great
difficulties at the present time, there is no
reason to believe that they are insurmount-
able or that they are unsurpassed in magni-
tude. Nearly every generation hears the
same argument advanced as men and women
battle for political, social economic and re-
igious aims.
It may be encouraging to note that, so
far, the human race has refused to commit
suicide. 1t evidently possesses greater sta
bility than some of its members would have
us believe. Modern civilization, despite crises,
real and imaginary, continues to spread
throughout the earth, and men and women
everywhere seem to be making progress to-
ward the goal of better human beings.
There are reasons why the United States,
as the wealthiest nation in the world, should
make an effort to extend help to the peoples
of under-developed and war-torn areas. In
telligent analysis of the world situation lends
support to the belief that such assistance
will, in the long run, be definitely in the in
terest of the United States and its people
There is no use, however in this connec-
ton, to continually cry, wolf, WOLF, and
depict the fate Of humanity as hanging on
the ropes, awaiting our action. In fact, the
suspicion is becoming somewhat general that
the people are getting little weary of the
never-ending announcements about crises
and being told what they must do or not do,
in order to save humanity and preserve civil
lization.

THE SABREs LEAVE FRANCE

Between two and three hundred Super
Sabre jet fighter r-bOmberS are pulling out of
France. They constitute three Wings of the
United States Air Forces fighter forces.
They are leaving because General Charles
de Gaulle, currently President of France,
has refused to accept the conditions under
which their retention in France would have
been satisfactory to the u. S. Air Force and
President Eisenhower.
In short, General de Gaulle wanted more
authority over the use of nuclear weapons
than the United States was willing to grant
him. This country has maintained a policy
of retaining final authority for the use of
these weapons, and rightly so.
In England the problem has been solved
by giving both powers concerned veto in
the final use of these nuclear weapons. Thus,
if the United States wished to use nuclear
weapons available in England, it would have
to have the approval of the United Kingdom,
or vice versa.
The latest indication of French stubborn
ness on mutual defense problems is merely
one in long series. The French have failed
to meet their NATO commitments, have sent
most of their arms, and much u. S. aid
equipment to Algeria, and have proved a
flop as far as NATO is concerned.
And although General de Gaulle is bring
ing order to a completely impotent and vas
cillating France, finally, de Gaulle's pride is
easily hurt, and he is constantly seeking a
larger role for France in Big Power deliber-
ations. In addition, he is determined to be-
gin the testing and explosion of nuclear
weapons, and will go ahead with this, prob
ably, even if there is an agreement between
the United Kingdom the United States and
Russia to continue the moratorium on nu-
clear testing.
In summary, France is going its own way,
with delusions of grandeur and out
of all relation to the actual strength and val
ue of France to the Allied team. The fact
that three Wings of u. S. fighters must be
withdrawn from France, and transferred TO
West Germany, where the Germans welcom-
ed their arrival and are pleased to meet the
reasonable conditions which are laid down
for their presence, is a rather serious indi-
cation of the extent to which the French will
90 to have their own way. -.

lected for the trachoma project.
A survey revealed that four chill
dren out of every five had trachoma.
Nurses making the survey told the
frightened children they were
painting pictures in their eyes as
they took smears with thin wire
rings.
Treatment cycles then followed
in all the schools. Nurses ap-
pointed to each school applied eye
ointment to each student twice
daily for a period of six months.
The nurses then trained the older
children to apply the ointment to
the younger ones.
Results showed a so per cent
drop in the number of active cases
among children in the villages
treated.
The second step was to bring
the treatment into the homes. Mo-
theirs were brought in groups of
80 into village health centers and
instructed how to apply aureomy-
Gin. Each mother was given sew
eral tubes of the ointment to take
home.
The ministry of health hopes,
when final results come in, the
home and school treatment will
bring down the trachoma cases by
75-per cent.
The next step will be a nation

PACIFISM IS NOT PEACE

The over emphasis that some religious
leaders place upon pacifism is unfortunate
because this tends to develop an erroneous
attitude on the part of young men as to the
duties and responsibilities that rest upon
them as citizens of great nation.
This effect can be seen in the number of
young Americans, who. during our recent
wars, proclaimed their conscientious Objec-
tions to war. Surely no man in his good
sense, would suggest that we submit supinely
to the attack of barbarians and permit them,
in their ignorance and avarice, to destroy
the civilization that we think has been Gre
ated very largely by the Christian philoso-
ply itself.
While we realize that every person, pro-
Tossing any religion, should follow its teach
ings, there is nothing to be gained by allow
ing a misinterpretation of great principles
to cause one to turn his back upon the prac-
tical problems of human life. The idea that
pacifism is the way to peace has never been
established.
The example of India, often praised for
its non-violence campaign for independence,
is of little value because what gave the peo-
pie of India their freedom was the conscience
of the British people. This conscience was
based upon the character developed under
religious influence.
If anyone thinks this is mistaken con-
clusion, let them think of what happened to
those who stood in the way Of Adolf Hitler,
and those who now face the might of Com
munist Russia.

Four out of every five Egyptian
village children suffer from ira
choma according to the United Ma
tions Children's Fund (UNICEFO.
The disease is not in all cases
in the active or infectious stage.
Active and advanced trachoma inn
pairs the vision and can scar the
eye through eyelashes curving in
wards. 1t often causes blindness
especially among children.
The widespread infection of this
disease is mainly due to the COM
mon fiy-which probably does more
harm in this country than any
where else. The fiy's dirty work is
made easier by the congested living
conditions in the Nile Valley where
almost the entire population of
close to 81 million is squeezed into
about $4,000 square miles, less than
5 per cent of Egypt's total land
area.
Infectious trachoma as a rule
ends with teenage but the disease
remains in the system even though
eye soaring may be slight or abb
sent.
The government has initiated a
major experimental program which
if successful will be applied to the
whole country.
