rector Of the vocational program At
Carver High School, Baltimore,
Md.
After welcoming the returning
alumni to the college, President
Alonzo G. Moron answered . ques-
ton about the issues involved in his
offer to resign last month.
DR.. Moron detailed the follow
ing: ~ His two and . half years
effort to get the Boards support
in an effort to raise funds for i'm
proved classroom facilities. These
efforts have not met with Board
approval. (2) He cited the presi-
dents responsibility for the 40
ministration of the college which
is in conflict, in this instance, with
the Boards feeling that they have
a right to deal directly with the
faculty, staff and students.
There were four alumni men,
bers of the Board of Trustees pres
emit at the meeting. They were:
DR.. Flemmie p. Kittrell, Washing
ton; Charles H. Williams, Hamp-
ton; DR.. Saul M. Perdue, Balti-
more, Md; and James J. Hender-
son, Durham, N. C..
They spoke in rebuttal to DIR.
Morton's statements, charging that
they were conscious of the need
for better classroom facilities. Be-
cause of this they had hired a New
York firm of consultants against
the presidents wishes) to survey
the needs of the college.
They also denied any interfer-
ence with administrative matters
until "they felt they had to inter-
fere."
Answering the trustees state
ments DIR. Moron pointed out that
it was not necessary, in his opinion,
to spenI $4,000 to have a firm of
cOnsultants confirm the need for a
new communications center.
He then detailed needs for bet
ter classroom facilities and de-
plored the inadequate science build
ing, the music building, the liberal
arts building and the building used
for nursing and home economics.
New officers elected to guide the
alumni association in the coming
year are: President, DR.. William
Watson, Virginia State College,
Petersburg; First Vice President,
Miss Bertha NJ. Sawyer, N. Y, N.

Thomas Gardner, Norfolk, Va;
Third Vice President, David Smith,
Washington; Treasurer, Walter r
Brown, Hampton; Recording Sec
rotary, Miss Laura Billups, Hamp-
ton; and Parliamentarian, w. Hale
Thompson, Newport News.
In his annual message, Hugh
Victor Brown, GOldsbOrO, \. C..
president of the association, urged
those attending the reunion to sup.
port the institutions president in q

When Smeors Boekfire

In describing Red smear attacks on
congressional committees and the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, FBI d.
rector Hoover told the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics that, con-
sidering the source, such tactics do not
disturb him. Mr.. Hoover has the right
attitude, we think. The time for him
to be disturbed would be when the Com
munists stopped throwing brickbats and
started tossing bouquets.
The FBI director pointed out that
the smear weapon is an old one In the
Communist arsenal. ut would be a
sorry day." he said, "if the FBI should
cease to be the target of Communist
attacks. We may well be judged by the
enemies we make" We are glad that
the FBI continues to make enemies of
the spies and other subversives who still
operate in this country. 1t would be
surprising If the Reds did not fight
back-with the sort of underhanded
tactics and devices for which they are
notorious.

AntipoNution Speedup

Arlington's decision to speed up Its
antipollution program SO as to provide
for secondary treatment of sewage by
1865 was long overdue. The county has
been tagging in proceeding with plans
to cooperate in cleaning up the Poto-
mac River, meanwhile pointing an
accusing finger at the District, which yet
has long way to go In abating the
sewage menace. But the District Is
completing a new treatment plant and
is actively considering further measures
to improve the condition Of the river.
Arlington, In Its own interest, can Ill
afford to be apathetic toward the prob
lem within It's jurisdiction.
Originally the county had put OF
a start on construction of secondary

loo Good to Be True?

~ Is it conceivable that we are moving
toward an age In which IL will be
possible to wage global war without
Killing anybody? Major General VIII
, ham M. Greasy, retired former chief Of
the Army Chemical Corps, seems to
think that the answer Is a strong and
definite yes. At any rate, as result Of
his recent testimony on the subject,
he has left that impression with the
House Committee on Science and AS
tronautics, and 1t is rather comforting
impression, all things considered.
Thus, as the general has told the
committee, there now exist various
types Of nerve gas"-some tremen-
dously lethal, and others temporarily
incapacitating but harmless-that could
"immobilize" whole populations for "a
or 40 hours without hurting them. He
has described these weapons as psyche
chemicals" and he has suggested that
II they were put to work In Congress,
Senators and Representatives would
undergo an immediate and drastic
change In behavior: Some members
would dance on their desks, others
would give fiery speeches completely at
variance with their past speeches, and
nobody present (since all would be
weirdly affected) would see anything
strange or startling in the performance.
The substances involved have already
been tested in many ways. A normally
ferocious cat, for example, after having
been subjected to the stuff, has fed in
terror from q mouse.
ALI this, quite obviously, has great
potentialities in the military field, and
presumably also in the ronmilitary.
For If the "psycho-chemicals can be
perfected along the lines projected by
General Greasy, and by other experts
who agree with him, war could almost
become fun, or at least pleasantly nom
fatal. Anyhow, why blow up everything

- The Majority Leader of the United
States Senate is a man who must wear
two hats-the hat of the leader Of a
political party seeking every political
advantage that opportunity offers, and
the hat Of the leader of the Senate In
Its exercise of functions assigned to 1t
as part Of the legislative branch Of
our Government.
~. The grace with which he can wear
these two hats depends In large measure
Upon his ability to seek political advan-
tage for his party without infiicting
injury to the interests of hts country.
We have been one of many who have
developed genuine respect In the years
Of his leadership for Senator Lyndon
johnson. He has worn the two hats
with considerable grace.
- And it is with considerable regret
that we express the opinion that both
of his hats look rather ill-f1tting on this
week end. He had 1t in his power to
see that Lewis Strauss was confirmed
or defeated, and he chose the latter
course. He did 1t for political expedi-
ency, which is a part of his Job. But
we are not sure that such expediency
will pay on for him, or his beloved
Senate. 1t was the Senate under his
leadership that committed an error In
craftsmanship and fair play which
many admirers of that great institution
will continue to regret.

'Dev' as President

It is fitting that the people of
ireland have overwhelmingly elected
canon de Valera to serve as their Presi-
dent for the next seven years. The office
is basically a ceremonial one, but 1t is
laden with numerous honors, and these
certainly become him very well In the
sunset phase of his remarkable career.
Now in his 77th year, the American
born Mr.. De Valera has been Prime Min
lister of Ireland for the better part Of
the past quarter century. He could have
remained in that office, In which he has
served with great distinction, until 1862,
but he chose instead to run for the
presidency. Presumably his failing eye
sight Che is nearly blind) has been one
of the factors accounting for his deci-
sion In that respect, and the voters Of
Fire have responded accordingly: They
have given him a handsome majority
which serves in Its own way as kind
of grateful tribute both to the man
himself and to the fine service he has
rendered his country.
Mr.. De Valera will succeed the re-
firing President Sean T. O'Kelly, who
spread charm everywhere during his re-
cent trip to the United States. We hope
that "Dev," as his countrymen affec-
tionately call him, will be able to pay
US similar visit as Fires chief of state.
In any event, he can be sure that the
American people, and not only those of
Irish descent, wish him well In his new

Task for odd Friends

President Eisenhower drew an in
teresting distinction between submits"
and his attitude about visiting them at
his news conference this week. Philoso-
phizing, with reference to the proposed
East-West summit meeting. on the
false doctrine" that heads Of govern
ment should meet frequently, or at least
every time there is difficult problem
that foreign ministers have failed to
resolve, the President called 1t "a step
backward in diplomacy" At the same
time, although in quite different con-
text, he welcomed warmly the idea Of
two-party summit meeting with Presi-
dent De Gaulle of France.
There are, of course, good reasons
for the distinction. France and the
United States are allies and friends
today, as they have been through most
of the past 100 years. The fact that
there are differences of opinion" cur
rently between the governments In Paris
and Washington, primarily within the
framework Of the NATO alliance, does
not imply any diminution Of the friend
ship or any lack Of good will on either
side. There is the further important fact,
as Mr.. Eisenhower said, that he and
General De Gaulle are "old friends, COM
rades of the war and since"-a circum-
stance that provides a highly favorable
atmosphere for personal conversation,
and negotiation If need be.
As for the differences Of opinion,
they have tended to expand in recent
months-like the widening ripples
raised by dropping a stone in still
pond-and they involve more than
France and the United States alone.
They have their origin, perhaps, in
General De Gaulle's own proud national
ism and his insistence that France is
great power and must be treated as
such. There is no basic disagreement
with this point Of view in Washington,
but the French Presidents reported con-
ditions for It's recognition have created
some tricky problems. He has aroused
other powers In NATO, for example, by
proposing in effect a Big Three control
Of the alliance. Meanwhile, he has
declined to integrate French air power
A1ibO q uAAAA4CA GA ACACAAoC NOAAAA0AAA Ava
Western Europe and has withdrawn the
French Mediterranean feet from NATo
combat control. He has asked for full
sharing Of nuclear data and weapons
custody, currently impossible under the
provisions Of our Atomic Energy Act.
He Is pressing, too, for clear indorse-
ment Of French policies In Algeria and
African issue with potential pitfalls
for everybody.
Against this background, there Is
reason to welcome President Eisen-
hower's expressed hope and belief that
two "old friends" might ease some Of
the rough points In these arguments
and possibly solve them" 1t will be q
high service to the entire Atlantic COM
munity when this is accomplished.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Who Wants to Face Senate Now
By GOULD LINCOLN

In the debate on the nom
nation announced he would
oppose confirmation. Mrs. I
Smiths vote came as q sur
prise. She made no speech
prior TO the vote.
Mr.. Strauss served his
country well as chairman Of
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, to which he was first
appointed by former PreSi-
dent Harry s. Truman. He
was one member Of the COM
mission who insisted on going
ahead with the development
Of the hydrogen bomb, and
In this he went right along
with President Truman. Had
the United States not pressed
for the development of--and
had not developed - this
bomb Of tremendous force.
we would have been outdis-
tanced In the field Of nuclear
weapons by the Communist
Russians.
Foe Of Communists
Mr.. Strauss, too, has been
strongly anti-c Communist at
all times, and committed to
maximum security for this
country. It is easy to under
stand that the Communists
abroad and In this country
will rejoice at the defeat he
has now suffered at the hands
Of the Senate. When Presi-
dent Eisenhower became
Chief Executive in 1858. he
persuaded Mr.. Strauss to ac-s
cept appointment as chair
man Of the Atomic Energy
Commission. After his term.
he was appointed Secretary
Of Commerce. During his
service on the commission, he,
ran afoul of Senator Clinton
p. Anderson Of New Mexico,
chairman Of the Joint Com
mittee on Atomic Energy,
who has been a persistent
and bitter foe Of Mr.. Strauss
ever since. The Anderson VEN
delta finally paid on.
The Senate, by its harass-
ment and attempted char
acter assassination Of Mr..
Strauss, has done itself no
good. II by its action 1t has
seemed to say to the outside
world. President Eisenhower
does not have the support Of
Americans in his firm stand
on Berlin and Germany, Is
opposed to the Russian Reds.
1t viii have done the country
no good.
One thing the Senate sue
cessfully accomplished. BY
its long -drawn-out inquisi.-
ton Of Mr.. Strauss, Its per-
mission Of charges by in.
nuendo and the fiimsiest kind
of argument. it has made it
even more difiicult to get the
most competent men In pri-
vate life to accept appoint
ment to high Office which
must be confirmed by the
Senate. Many win hesitate
to subject themselves to such
attacks animated by personal
venom or partisan politics.
