, however, emergencies can be stretched
over many years beyond the cessation of
hostilitieS.
The property in question consists of
100 acres of rolling land now occupied
by barracks and other buildings, extend
ing toward the Potomac and the Penta-
gon. The structures are an unSightly
scar on hillside ultimately intended as
resting place for the Nations war
dead. 1t is good news, therefore, that
they are to be torn down within the next
few years, as new quarters are found for
the men stationed on the post.
Return of this land to the cemetery
reservation will not solve the Arlington
burial-space problem, except for the i'm
mediate future. Ultimately more land
will have to be acquired If the cemetery
is to accommodate all the veterans who
may desire to be buried there. That is
why there is still need for congressional
consideration of Senator Muskie's bill
to reserve the Nevius tract to the north
for cemetery use. This would be better
freedom memorial than the proposed
walled enclosure known as the Freedom
Wall"-a project which we hope has
been permanently abandoned.

Chdnqe at the u. N.

AS he prepares to end more than
seven years of service as United States
Ambassador to the United Nations, Henry
Cabot Lodge is fully deserving of the
well done" message addressed to him
by President Eisenhower Mr.. Lodge has
filled demanding role in period of re-
curing world crises in which the United
Nations has most often provided the
center stage for debate and launching
site for action. He has, as the President
wrote in accepting his resignation, dis
played talents of f1rmness, perseverance
and imagination" and the spotlight of
news coverage on the U. N. has presented
him in a deServedly favorable light to
the American public.
AS the Republican nominee for the
vice presidency, Mr.. Lodge will turn on
September to new chapter in his
career in public life. Once more, as
he was during earlier service as a United
States Senator from Massachusetts,, he
will be back in the field of partisan poll
tics. For this reason, it is fitting that
he should step out of the nonpartisan
responsibility Of representing our Gov
ernment in the principal international
forum.
To succeed Mr.. Lodge, President Eli
Senhower has nominated James j. Wads-
worth, the present deputy chief of the
United States delegation to the U. N.
In sense, Mr.. Wadsworth has the quail
f1cations of career officer" for his new
assignment. He has served as our deputy
chief at the U. N. since 1853 and is thor
oughly familiar with the workings of
that body as we'll as with the problems
before it. Although Republican in poll
tics, he has held Government posts un-
der Democratic administrations and is
above any suspicion of partisanship in
the important task to be assigned him.

'Pottern of Corruption

A recent grand jury report on police
connivance with gamblers in Richmond,
Virginia, was bad enough, but the re-
port of a special investigator for the City
Council depicts conditions both shock
ing and shameful to the State capital.
The report describes pattern of cor
ruption" in the police department that
has developed over many years." The
big unanswered question: How could
such a serious breakdown of law en-
forcement continue so long without
detection?
The grand jury disclosed the police
perfidy in connection with the indict-
ment of Harry L. Donovan, head of
what was characterized as multimil-
lion-dollar gambling empire. Many po-
licemen refused to testify before the
grand jury for fear of Self-incrimina-
ton. The special investigation then was
ordered by the City Council. According
to the investigator, police became so
accustomed to accepting payoffS from
gamblers and other criminals that they
regarded the extra income as fringe
benefits" He said the police vice squad
even maintained bag man" whose job
it was to make collections of protection
money"
The report said that top officials of
the department "have been derelict' in
failing to discover" the corruption and
in failing Ito initiate an aggressive, all
out investigation to determine its ex-
tent" If the allegations in the report
are substantially in accord with the
facts, that is an understatement if there
ever was one.

Passing of the Foot Soldier?

What is the Army coming to? It's
turning into an outfit that has no room
for foot soldiers, that's what. At least
that is the prospect foreseen by high
military men as the need for moving
armies quickly from one place to another
becomes apparent in this age of speed.
AS result of studies ordered by
General Matthew B. Ridgway when he
was Army chief of staff, plan called
"Momar" has been developed. The word
stands for Modern Mobile Army-a con-
cept of fighting force in which nobody
walks"
The news will be received with
mixed emotions by infantry veterans of
two world wars-the doughboys of 1918
and the sad-Sack GIs of our more recent
wars. They will be inclined to shake
their heads obviously, if not in sorrow,
at the predicted passing of an era of
earthly (muddy, that is) warfare i'm
mortalized in song and story. At the
same time, they will be glad that their
sons and grandsons will be spared the
rigorS of forced marches through muck
or dust, If Uncle Sam should call them
to service in another emergency. Obvi-
ouSly the mobile army is a natural out
growth of the hurry up and wait"
policy with which so many Army vet
erans are familiar. BY getting there
faster, of course, the boys will wait
bit longer.

Supreme Ballad Maker

Oscar HammerStein, who died this
week at the age of 65 left great legacy
to the folklore of his country. For this
gentle giant of man, who looked more
like a football coach than a maker of
ballads, ranged far and wide over the
American scene in the fashioning of
lyrics which have graced the music of
long list Of notable composers.
Mr.. Hammerstein is best known
today, and perhaps will be best remem-
bered in the future, as the partner of
composer Richard Rodgers, and the two
have spectacular record of popular
and successful musical collaboration
dating back to 1912. Not only their
versatility, but their responsiveness to
the American spirit-gay, sad, romantic
and even at war-shows through such
varied works as oklahoma, Carousel,
South Pacific and many others. In thus
partnership, Hammerstein was the orig
inal writing his lyrics longhand
at an oldfaShioned, tall bookkeeper's
desk where he stood in order to act out
the lines of his own making From there
they went to Rodgers for the tunes.
Even earlier in his career the Hammer
stein lyrics likewise had provided in
spiration for the music making of such
as Friml, Romberg, Kern, YoumanS and
GerShwin.
The Manhattan-born Mr.. Hammer
stein came by his instinct for the theater
most naturally-from father and grand
father who had been there before him.
He dallied most briefly at the study and
practice of law before turning all his
talents toward his real love. The Amer
lean story is better told and the lovelier
to listen to for this happy decision.

Back Where 1t BeIonqs

Plans for the gradual withdrawal Of
the Army from land east of Arlington
National Cemetery are being made some
what belatedly-but the retreat will be
nonetheless welcome. The tract, long
reserved for future expansion of the
cemetery, was taken over as an emerg-
ency measure during World War II and
designated as Fort Myers South Post.
The understanding then was that the
land would be returned for cemetery use
when the emergency was over. AS with

He Wanted to Go Home .

Hundreds of thousands of hapleSS
commuters in Greater Boston have just
been subjected for "a hours to the enor-
nous indignitieS, inconvenience and
discomforts of a sudden, unexpected and
altogether crippling transit strike. Why?
Well, it seems that bus driver up
there-a 42-year-old man named Ed
ward Burns, with "a very good record
refused to take on an overtime task that
would have required him to work,
according to his boss, only an extra two
minutes. He disputes this. He says
it would have been nearer a half hour.
Anyhow, he walked away from the job.
AS he has put it, II just wanted to go
home"
In response, Mr.. Burns boss tempo
rarily suspended him, and then his union
reacted by going on strike without
warning-at the height of the evening
rush hour for buses, streetcarS and sub
way trains. There then followed chaos
in the, transportation system run by
Boston'S Metropolitan Transit Authority,
whose general manager bravely de-
clared: Il don't intend to retreat one
bit. The basic point at issue is
whether management is going to run the
MTA or whether the union is going to
run it."
This is good talk and sound prin-'
ciple. Yet the fact remains that the
people of Boston's metropolitan area
people who like to travel normally to
work in the morning and who want to
go home in the evening quite as much as
anybody elSe including Mr.. Burns-have
been caught in the middle. On one
hand, the transit authorities have sought
to be properly firm; on the other, acting
with what might be called iron-fisted
whimsicality, the union has created
paralysis of transportation in protest
against the mild disciplining of driver
who had refused to work few minutes
overtime at overtime pay.
Perhaps we should hail this event
as another example of how wonderfully
free is our free way of life, and how
gloriously armed are our unions to safe
guard their members from laboring a
few extra minutes at bonus rates of pay
Boston's commuters, however, probably
take less CHEEKY view of the matter.
Some people, of course, can be pretty
narrow minded.

The Powers Case in RETROSPECT

Presidential Secretary
Hagerty. I thought, was a bit
on the vague side about our
Governments interest in the
future Of our scout Powers.
For example. he omitted all
reference to pay. which may
have a real bearing on what
the Russians do to carry out
their sentence. Shall we con-
tinue his salary, sending the
checks to his wife? If not,
why not? We know, from
the public statement of the
President of the United
States. that this man was
carrying out orders, not fly
ing the wild blue yonder on
some caprice of his own. We
know, from the same high
source, that his mission was
wholly legal, in fact, neces-
sary, in view of the state of
secrecy maintained by the
Soviet Union. We know that
his capture was a foresee-
able hazard, normal to such
an assignment. and. in fact,
it was so highly foreseeable
that we gave him a suicide
kit, just in case. And we
know, by published accounts
of his testimony, that he dis
closed no information of
value to Russia - not as
much, counting various f1c-
tions, conflicts and discrep-
ancies, as our Government
departments disclosed. Then
don't we owe him the money?
I, for one, think We do, and
I would think the Russians,
on the discovery they had
presented him by their SEN
tence, with $4,000 a month
for 10 years, or 100000 in
good capitalist money, might
find themselves in a guam
Diary. They might easily be-
gin to wonder if this para
doXical result was quite COW
cred by MARKHAM principles.
And, they might, it is not in
conceivable, turn him loose,
as one enriched by too much
punishment.
OF course, If you ask me,
our position is 100 per cent
nonsensical, not to say hypo-
critical, not to say silly. If
this flight is justifiable, then
so is the whole Soviet pro-
gram of spying. and it is
wrong Of rs to put their spies
to death, or imprison them.
Do they have secrecy? Then
what have we got? ANY
thing they can do we can do
better" There was scarcely
a commentator who thought
our case made sense, but
that's our case. Let's stick to
it, up the line and down the

money, and if it runs to quite
a sum, we have the conso-

There appeared in your

which, in my opinion, excel
lently states the case of the
opponents Of the Minimum
Wage Bill, while at the same
time showing to what ex-
tremes some will go under the
excuse of compromise. You
recognize that. had the Mon
roney Amendment prevailed,
a bill far "less sweeping in
its future implications would
have resulted.
1t is true that the princi-
pie of establishing minimum
wages in interstate commerce
by the Federal Government
has long been acknowledged.
This is done under the Com
merce Clause of the ConStitu-
ton which gives Congress the
power to regulate Commerce

among the several States"
