Maritime Mischief

Thanks to a suggestion" from
AFL-CIO President George Meany, the
Seafarers International Union has at
last put an end to its picketing of the
Cleopatra, an Egyptian owned vessel
docked in New York According to Mr..
Meany, the picketing-carried out pri-
marily in repriSal for CairoS blackliSting
of American ships calling at Israeli
ports-haS served good trade-union
purpose" True as that may be, however,
the incident certainly has not been
helpful to our country's efforts to i'm
prove relations in the Middle East and
promote progress toward a solution of
the Arab-1Sraeli conflict 1t is disturbing
that private organization thus has
been able to throw its weight around
internationally and place the State De-
partment in the position of seeming to
have to bargain with it for a cessation
of operations deemed miSchievous by our
Government. But such action apparently
is quite permissible under our laws, and
so we can only hope that responsible
labor leaders like Mr.. Meany will counsel
against further resort to 1t.

Korean Complaint

Being a student from
Korea, I cannot help chal-
lenging the distorted report
on the Korean situation car
ried in Constantine Browns
column on May 3.
Mr.. Brown should be aware
what the true aspiration of
the majority in South Korea
has been during the past
decade. The most astonishing
part of the article was his
pronouncement that the stu
dent revolt is the movement
of an intellectual minority,
Communist inspired. He fur
ther asserted that the major
ity of South Koreans want
Syngman Rhee to continue
in office.
Thus Mr.. Brown has given
an incorrect picture on the
South Korean political condi-
ton. The simple facts were
distorted time and again by
Mr.. Brown. The student re-
volt against the corrupted
government was primarily
motivated to protest against
the tyranny of minority rule
(Syngman Rhee, Ii Ki Poong
and the Liberal Party) over
the majority, instead of vice
versa.

Relief in Oreqon

Behold There is a State
in the Union that is awaken
ing to the decadent situation
of our relief rolls.
Several Oregon counties are
letting people work for the
handouts; that is, those able
to work. Gerson Goldsmith,
a member of the State Public
Welfare Commission, reported
to the Wall Street journal on
May 5 that it has had the
effect of improving the morale
of most welfare recipients.
He also stated that in some
cases chronic loafers are be-
ing cut from the welfare rolls.
This latter group would cut
a minimum of so per cent
from the Washington relief
rolls. With a few more men
like Mr.. Goldsmith of Oregon,
we could balance the budget
by 1861.

Moqic in Space

Pioneer V, our 95-pound planetoid
now in orbit around the sun, has been
travelling in space for more than two
months past, and it still is performing
in magical fashion. It's latest feat,
carried out in response to command
signal from the Kaleidoscope at
Jodrell Bank in England, has been to
turn on its 150-watt transmitter and
start talking" to earth over distances
in excess of 8 million miles.
DR.. T. Keith Glennan, chief of our
National AeronauticS and Space Admin
Stration, has not exaggerated in declar-
ing that "thiS is truly an historic event
quite in character with the other &C
compliShmentS of this amazing space
craft" Never before has there been
anything like such enormously long
range communication between man and
one of his instruments, and it is
communication that is expected to
continue-loud and clear and informa-
tive-for months to come as Pioneer v
moves farther and farther from our
planet at rate of we'll over l million
miles week
With its swat tranSmitter, which
is now silent, this remarkable vehicle,
according to NASA, has already sent
back to us more than 100 hours of
data on coSmic radiation, charged
particle energies and magnetic field
phenomena" The much bigger and
stronger 150-watt tranSmitter, whose
messages will be received at Jodrell
Bank and station in Hawaii, will be
allowed to operate only briefly three
or four times day in order to conserve
the power of it's batteries. Even so, the
expectation is that it will send us a
great amount of information of high
scientific value.
The Russians, it is true, are un-
comfortably ahead of us in the thrust
power of their rockets. But we ought
not to underestimate the fact that we
are catching up with them in that
particular and probably are distinctly
superior to them in the "sophiStication"
and "miniaturization" of our instrument
tation for space operations. Pioneer
VS. performance to date has been alto
gether reaSSuring on that score.

British Scholarship

In The Sunday Star there
was an item about winners
of Phi Beta Kappa keys at
Howard U. The news story
stated that of the Is, five
came from the Federation
of West Indies (Jamaica and
Trinidad, two from British
Guiana and one from Ger
many. 1t appears that the
school system developed I'M
der British colonialism has
obviously outstripped our own
in producing quality scholars.
Like ourselves, they obviously
have had the problem of edu-
eating Negro children from
households with poor educa-
tional background, but seem
to have done a better job
of it. Have they developed
some techniques and proce-
dureS that we lack? 1t is OBJ
viouSly worth looking into.
AS for the remaining seven
winners, only two were local
residents, one from Balti-
more and the remainder from
above Mason and Dixon's line.
None came from below the
Potomac.
