Promotion From Ranks

President Eisenhower appears to
have recognized ability "in the ranks"
in nominating Frederick H. Mueller as
Secretary Of Commerce. During his four
years in Washington, the Michigan busi-
neSSman has served successfully as As
Sistant Secretary, UnderSecretary and
Acting Secretary Of the department. In
the wake Of the unfortunate episode Of
the Strauss case and the Senate's refusal
to confirm the admiral'S nomination to
the cabinet post, Mr.. Mueller brings no
element of ontroversy-political or
otherwise. The fact that he has four
years of background in the department
and acquaintance with its problems and
personnel should contribute much to his
further service. Quick confirmation
would be in the interest of the Govern
ment.

PICKING q Good Man

= Not many VirginianS, asked point
blank, would be able to identify Theo-
dere Roosevelt Dalton But inquire about
Ted Dalton, and they would know him
well.
- For he is the man who has led the
Republican political charge in the Old
Dominion, and he came closer (45 per
cent of the vote in 1859 to successfully
storming the Governors Mansion in
Richmond than any other G. O.P. can
didate in the memory of living men.
8 President Eisenhower has nominated
the State Senator from Radford to the
Federal bench, to succeed Judge John
Paul of HarriSonburg, who has an
nounced his retirement but who has
been staying on until successor has
been named and confirmed. Ted Dalton
has the necessary qualifications and, in
our opinion, he will make an excellent
Judge. We cannot imagine that he will
have any difficulty in obtaining Senate
confirmation.

Charity Abroad

Why couldn't the West

Berlin to West Germany like

Do the worlds International

be able to convince the grass
roots of America that charity
begins abroad? Are the goose
eggheadS worried because
the grass rooters refuse to be

more sensational than the American
s. s. Savannah of lao years ago-the
worlds frst ocean-going steamship, and
a very clumsy one. At any rate, our new
nuclear vessel is really quite girl. Sleek
of line, and 545 feet long, she is designed
to carry so passengers together with
about 10000 deadweight tons of cargo,
and she will be able to travel some 300,-
600 miles-at speed Of 20 or 81 knots
on a single load Of enriched uranium
weighing substantially less than a ton.
Clearly, she will have what 1t takes to be

starts sailing around the world.
At the christening ceremony, Mrs.
Eisenhower wished the Savannah a

have reason to join in the wish. They
have reason, too, to congratulate every
body who has had part in building this
wondrous vessel.

Quite a Girl

AS the worlds first atomic powered
merchant vessel, the N. S. (Nuclear
Ship Savannah, which Mrs. Eisenhower
has just chriStened, marks the begin
ming of an era of far-reaching change
in the physical equipment Of peaceful,
commercial Seafaring.
True, the change is likely to take
place rather slowly, bit by bit. After all,
a total of about Sal million will have
been spent on the Savannah before she
is put into full operation year or so
from now, and such an initial invest
ment is obviously prohibitive for private
shipping firms that are in the business
for profit. But the men who know the
most about the project-men like Chair
man Morse of the Federal Maritime
Board-are confident that ways will be
found in due course to build ships Of the.
same type on an economically sound
basis, money-making basis. They are
CONFIDENT, also, that these nuclear
merchantmen will begin to become
fairly common sight which the world
will take pretty much for granted in the
next decade or two.
Meanwhile, however, the pioneering
N. s, Savannah will occupy a unique
place on the seas, and it is a place that
may have considerable importance in
terms of international propaganda. In
that sense, the ship promises to be even

Chill in Moscow

Nikita Khrushchev has bounced
upon our proclamation Of Captive Ma
tons Week" as an instrument with
which to blunt the good will effect, II
any, Of Mr.. Nixon's trip to Moscow.
Mr.. Khrushchev has denounced the
proclamation as "direct interference in
the Soviet Unions internal affairs" This
denunciation and the Soviet Premier'S
show OF righteous indignation may be
taken with a grain Of salt. For while
anything which tends to keep hope for
freedom alive in the captive countries
touches sore spot in the anatomy Of
the Soviet empire, the chances are that
Mr.. Khrushchev seized on the proclama-
ton as a matter of convenience. On the
basis Of past performance, 1t is reason
able to assume that, had there been no
proclamation, he would have found some
other excuse for blasting the United
States in particular and capitalists in
general.
Even so, it remains fact that the
timing Of this proclamation left some
thing to be desired. 1t was passed as a
resolution by the Senate on July 6, with
the explanation that it was designed to
strengthen the hand of Secretary Herter
in the Geneva negotiations, although
just how 1t would strengthen his hand
Is difficult for US to see.
The resolution requested Mr.. EiSen-
hover to designate the third week in
July as Captive Nations Week, and the
President duly complied. It happens,
however, that this was the week in which
our exhibition in Moscow was to be
opened, with Mr.. Nixon on hand to do
the good will honors. If it is necessary
or desirable to proclaim such things as
Captive Nations Week, along with Apple
Week, Sweet Potato Week and Be Kind
to Animals Week, why is it also neceS-
Sary to choose the worst possible time?
The chances are that no one in this
country really thought about the COIN
cidence in timing. But Mr.. KhruShchev
did think about it, and he has used it
rather effectively-flrSt, to put the chill
on both Mr.. Nixon'S visit and our exhibit
ton, and, second, to argue to his own
countrymen that we are meddling in
their affairs. This Is always a potent
propaganda appeal, and the probable
result in this case will be to stifle rather
than lift the hopes Of people in the
captive countries.

Area Transit Debate

Surprise, and some measure Of
CONSERVATION, have been expressed at
District Engineer Commissioner We'll
ling'S new suggestion that existing rail-
road tracks might become the basis of a
Washington area rapid transit system.
The surprise is generated by the fact
that General yelling was an active
participant in the areas recently pub
liShed Mass transportation Survey,
which proposed an elaborate $3.50 mil
lion system Of commuter subway and
surface trains to operate on their own
rights-of-way.
We do not believe, however, that the
general meant either to diScredit the
more elaborate plan or to suggest that
any part of it be dropped His intention,
as made clear in a statement to his
fellow governing officials of the region,
was to cite these two points: % That
the SIS billion system Of freewayS and
SubwayS recommended in the report is
an ideal solution to traffic problems,
which might well have to be trimmed to
At more realistic financial pattern,
and (2) that more study should be given
to possible alternative plans at this time.
Both these points make sense Hear
ingS are expected to be held late this fall
before House-Senate committee on the
transportation report, and there is a
real danger that the testimony could be-
come merely collection of meaningless
platitudeS. To escape this, the COM
mittee of area officials headed by Vir-
ginia State Senator Charles Fenwick
should proceed Immediately to develop
a realistic analysis of the regions hnan-
cial prospects as to transportation. And
it should gather as many facts as it can
now about all sorts of other transporta-
ton ropoSalS-including o. Roy Chalk'S
monorail and General Welling's system
of railroad facilities.

D. c. Goes to Doqs

viii citizens of Washing
ton, D. c., forever have to
endure treSpaSsing on their
private property by stray
dogs? Dog owners will in
dignantly say that their dogs
are certainly not stray dogs!
I can hear them. But I say
that they are definitely stray
dogs when they are pur-
chased. collared and then
allowed on the streets I'M
leaShed "a hours a day. There
ought to be a law! I mean
this literally. for a dog in a
city should be loved enough
to be fenced in or walked on
a leash so that he will not be
able to run, romp. brighten
birds and other wildlife and
destroy grass and shrubs on
neighbors' property. This law
would be a greater protec-
ton to the dogs themselves
than to anyone else, and
every dog deserves the best
treatment his family can give
him. Otherwise, the family
should not take a dog into its
home to run wild. taking a
great chance of becoming a
public nuisance. or, even
worse. being killed in the
street.
Has Washington, as a we'll
governed city. not given
thought to a law to restrict
pets to their owners private
property and to allow them
on streets only on leash? Be-
fore a dog arrives in the fam
lily there should be a protec-
tive fence and plenty of space
for him to run.

Highway COLLAPSE

Bertram Tallamy, the Federal high
way administrator, has handed Con-
greSS blunt warning that the national
highway program is on the verge of
collapse and that, If this happens, Con-
greSS will have no one to blame but
itself.
TeStifying before the House Ways
and Means Committee, Mr.. Tallamy me-
thodically traced the steps by which
Congress previous authorizations for
highway Federal aid grants have been
undercut by an inadequate supply of
Federal aid money. These, he said, are
the somber prospects which will result
unless Congress acts Immediately: O) A
nine-month Stoppage, beginning right
now, in the approval of new highway
projects; (2) delays this fall in Federal
payment Of bills already incurred by the
States for completed construction, and
(S) a so per cent cut in money for the
interstate highway system through 1868,
instead of a continuing outlay of some
$2,5,billion year. In effect, Mr.. Tallamy
was saying, the program which members
Of Congress lauded such a short time
ago as the most ambitious public works
project in history" is about to fall on
its face.
Effects of the financial crisis already
are showing up. In Maryland, Virginia
and the District, for example, highway
officials have announced delays in mil
lions of dollars worth of scheduled free
way and bridge projects until some
remedial steps are taken.
The one bright spot, as Mr.. Tallamy
said, is that most of the threatened harm
cansbe averted if Congress will provide
the needed funds by 11a-cent increase
in the present 3-cents-a-gallon motor
fuel tax. House Democrats are said to be
developing an alternative Embarrassing
package, and the committee will hear a
number of other proposals, including
financing by borrowing and by a bond
issue. The gas tax boost as proposed by
the President is by all odds the most
feasible, however, and it should be en-
acted without delay so that this vital
program can continue.

We who live in the 10th

Have We come fun circle?
This short essay on history
begins when Nero was En-
peror Of Rome. and for what
ever he defined as sins could
burn q subjects body. flesh
and bone. The mines were
operated. fields were titled by
men who could not call their
souls their own: The blood
Of innocentS was freely
spilled: the rights Of men
were Nero's-hiS alone. Here
the first lesson ends.
The wheel Of history turned
Q thousand years before the
charter granted by King John
gave man the right to trial by
his peers, and freedom his
affairs to carry on. No longer
could the common workers
backs be broken by imperial
decree: The people claimed
the privilege to tax. and held
their persons and possessions
free. The wheel Of history
turned.
Five centuries we're num-
bered with the past before
the human dramas stage was
set to free those minor
characters at least whose
slavery was token Of their
debt. The debtors prison,
once q living hell, has van
ished from the scope Of
human ken-the creditor no
longer can compel the serv-
ices Of bankrupt fellow men.
Another turn Of the wheel.
The wheel rolled on. A
government was born which
rooted deep in basic human
rights. and by q bloody civil
strife was torn to prove that
blacks should not be slaves to
whites. No longer might the
color Of the skin. parental
name, or accident Of birth
deny the fact that all men
are akin. or raise the question
Of ones moral worth. The
circle had not closed.
A further revolution. and
the state gave labor unions
legal rights to rule their
membership. and to eliminate
each critic, as q traitor or a
fool. The mines were oper-
ated. fields were titled BY men
who dared not call their souls
their own: The blood Of in
nocentS was freely spilled:
the rights Of men were
Hoffa's. his alone. Full circle:

We can believe that this

want to kill him.
Many cat owners have
their own ideas of proper
care.
Some do not think a cat
should be kept in.
But probably a million cats
are kept in, in stores, post
Offices, places of many kinds
and degrees, all glad to have
a cat around.
These cats do not suffer in
the least, because they are
adaptable.
This is one of the fine
points of this popular an
imal. Like dogs, they do more
or less what some human
being wants them to do.
The house cat will kill
birds. if he has a chance, in
many instances, but not all.
Properly brought up cats
often are rather amused by
birds. They watch them, but
do not try to catch them.
Stories of how every cat
catches 400 birds a year are
pure propaganda by the cat
haters.
1t is impossible to police q
cats movements all the time,
but quite easy for 80 minutes
at a time. This gives Tabby
or Tom all the outdoors it
needs.
Cardinals and other birds
often play the broken wing"
trick on cats; that is, they
trail one wing on the ground,
to entice the cat away from
the nest. Often it works.
Sometimes, with a persistent
cat, it fails.
Efforts to safeguard nests
with branches, wire and
cords usually result in failure,
and perplex the bird family.
The only thing to do is to
keep the cat away from the
nest. This usually requires
about three weeks of careful
policing.

Sented and their families.

Miss Beale speaks of the
commercial tinge" that sur
rounds presentation abroad.
Perhaps Miss Beale has q
suggestion whereby any trav-
eler may journey even to
another city. let alone abroad,
without entering into COM
mereial dealings. Airlines.
hotels. etc. are commercial,
and any trip must perforce
involve commerce. Miss Beale
should know that the young
women presented at YER
Sailles last year and in Lon
don this year paid for their
tour only. as any traveller
would. The privilege of being
presented to and accepted by
any circle Of people cannot
be purchased.
No one, more especially a
person Of Miss Beale's knowl-
edge, would expect that a
young woman. merely by the
act Of making q formal debut
within her own circle, is sud-
denly transformed into q
well-informed. sophisticated
and well-grounded adult.
Maturing socially. as in any
sense, is o long and involved
process. Certainly q few

create the transformation:

effort and expense on the
part Of parents and social
arbiters such as I. are sin

more important and educa-

been presented to her own
