Aid for Our AiIinq River

1t has become evident, after Is years
Of experience, that the Potomac River
Basin Commission has about reached
the limit of its usefulness under the
original interstate compact of 1945. That
compact signed by Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and the
District of Columbia, was written care
fully in order to gain the approval of
State authorities jealous Of their own
antipollution activities. The commission
was restricted to studies of river con-
tamination and recommendations for
pollution abatement. Many studies have
been made and the recommendations
have helped the States along the river
to improve conditions materially. Now,
however, there is a growing need for
broadening the scope of the interstate
agency and giving it more authority
yet without encroachment on State ju-
risdiction.
The movement for amendment of
the compact has gained some headway
in the past several years, but has not
resulted as yet in any legislative action.
However, the decision of Secretary Flem-
ming of the Department of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare to support the plan
for extending the commissions powers
may provide the impetus that has been
lacking. The proposal, in general, is to
give the commission authority to advise
the States and communities along the
river not only on antipollution measures
but on problems of water supply, soil
erosion and other related matters. More
specifically, the agency would be en-
powered to set up water-quality stand
ards as guide to local authorities in
designing facilities to keep the river
reasonably clean. No such standards
exist at present.
The plan will require the approval
not only of Congress but of the several
State legislatures which approved the
original compact This will take some
time, so an early start is advisable We
hope Congress will get the program 60
ing this year by passing legislation soon
to be submitted by Secretary Flemming.

Grocery Strike Ends

The grocery strike has ended in an
atmosphere which suggests that all
commemorative store workers, their
employers and certainly the area house
wives-have had enough. BY tomorrow

to be back in business, and this will be
welcomed by the shoppers who have had
to scramble for food in the ne-third

Whether the strike was worth the
cost is questionable. Public incon-
Venience aside, the striking butchers

less crime among the juve-

Modern Office chairs tilt
backward and forward, and
swivel around, in order to give
some exercise to persons who
otherwise might not get any.
1t is true. perhaps, that the
original idea for this move
ment in Office chairs was one
of ability to stretch and
reach papers, telephone book,
etc.
Some modern physical cul-
turists even go so far as to
advocate the keeping of the
telephone at the far end,
back, of the desk, so that the
worker will have to stretch
for it.
Knocking things off onto
the floor, too, permits him to
bend down, one of the old
standard exercises for in
creased girth.
AS slight as such move
ments may be, they do some
thing for you, according to
the experts.

Breach of Contract

Maryland and Virginia spokesmen
are right in denouncing the House Ap-
preparations Committees action killing
Capper- -Cramton funds for further park
development as breach of faith by the
Federal Governments reputation of a
contract previously approved by Con-
greSS in the interest of a more attrac-
tive National Capital.
Maryland and the Federal Govern
ment as long ago as 1881 entered into
partnership for park development of the
Washington area. Virginia did not join
in the program until recently, however.
Under the agreement the Government
pays one-third Of the cost of stream
valley park development in the Metro
politan Area. Included in the funds
deleted from the Interior appropriation
bill was more than $500,00O for the first
park projects in nearby Virginia under
the Capper-Cramton program. Also
killed were a 100000 grant and a 81
million loan to Montgomery County for
further improvement of Rock Creek val
ley-a project important to preserva-
ton of the beauty of Rock Greek Park
inside the District.
The uncertainties which have sur
rounded appropriations for regional park
and parkway development in recent years
are confusing and exasperatiing to the
local communities which have set aside
funds to carry out their part of the
Capper-Cramton bargain If the Capper-
Cramton program, mutually beneficial
as it has proved to be for both the Fed
eral Government and nearby counties,
is to be scrapped after all these years,

Fixes McGWs Piano

Much in the manner of a
tone-deaf pianist laboriously
playing a church hymn by
notes. Ralph McGill unsurely
pecks out a fact-deaf piece
about the cause and effect of
Negro Migration From the
South"
To begin with, the plight of
the colored man in the South
has always been economic
rather than social. Since the
Civil War the South has been
absolutely incapable of sup
porting the Negro economi-
cally except at a bare sub
Sistence level.
1t was the North and not
the South that let the colored
man down. Knowing the
plight of the South following
the Civil War, the North
should have arranged for the
orderly migration of a good
share of Negroes to the
northern industrial centers
instead of waiting more than
a half century for the boil
weevil to point out the ad-
vantage Of a ticket to
Chee-cago."
Mr.. McGill thinks the
South is going to pot and
says: Year after year there
has been a steady parade Of
white and colored to the jobs
and opportunity climate of
the industrial North, East
and West"
If Mr.. McGill would get his
piano tuned and quit playing
by political notes, he could
equal the beautiful sound of
the industrial revolution in
the South. The real truth is
that the workers from the
North are parading to Dixie
and out West. and the East
is going to pot.
Another McGill point: "As
the out-migration of Negroes
has grown (since 1920 the
power of the Southern bloc in
Congress has declined in al
most the exact ratio"
l wasn't aware that the
seniority rule in Congress
had been changed. 1t seems
to me that Lyndon johnson
and the other great South
erners still hold all the key
congressional com mittee
posts.
The purpose of this piece is
not to discredit the colored
mans fight for civil rights in
the South, but to point out
that his economic rights in
the North have been denied
since Appomattox.
1t is quite a shock to real
ize that it was the boil weevil
and not the warm Northern
political heart that finally
brought about his emanci-
patton.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Civil Rights Issue and Politics

With the Senate de-
bate over new and strong
er civil rights legislation
getting under way at this
early date in the congress
sional session, the passage of
a bill in the Senate seems
inevitable. Also, its enact
ment into law. From a politi-
cal point Of view, much will
depend on the character and
content Of the legislation.
The measure as finally en-
acted may affect vitality the
chances Of one or more of
the Democratic aspirants for
presidential nomination. 1t
may have a far-reaching i'm
pact on the results Of the
general election next Novem-
ber. 1t could cause great
disaffection in the Demo-

drastic law is enacted, the
Southerners will have the
choice Of furnishing the
Northern Democrats by CIV
ing their electoral votes to a
Republican candidate for
President or furnishing both
the Democrats Of the North
and the Republicans by plac-
ing a presidential ticket Of
their own in the field - and
possibly throwing the elec-
ton Of a President into the

may decide to go along with

particularly impelled to put

want the votes of the Negro

West. Clearly and numeri-
cally. the passage of a civil
rights bill through the Sen
ate must be a bipartisan
affair. Although the Demo-
Gratis have IS Senators to 35

Timely Anecdote

The report about the Civil
Liberties Union and a jew
ish lawyer defending the
right of Nazis to advocate
lawlessnesS and mass mur-
der, is reminiscent Of the
following anecdote:
In olden times, in France,
there lived a marquis known
for his fervent patriotism.
One expression of reverence
for his country was that he
jumped to attention and
saluted every time the Mar
seillaise was being played.
One night burglars entered
his bedroom, but he heard
them and reached for the
pistol beneath his pillow.
Prepared for such possibility,
one Of the burglars pulled
out a flute and started play
ing the Marseillaise. The
marquis, in his nightgown,
stood up on his bed at atten-
tion. saluting, while the bur-
glars looted his home.
The moral of that anecdote
is: Idealism, patriotism, the
Marseillaise are holy. Yet,
the marquis was plainly an
idiot:
Similarly, in our case, the
Nazis when apprehended,
pulled out the flute and -
for them a big joke - played
a tune in which they them
selves did not believe. Like
our marquis paralyzed and
turned into a puppet of the
burglars flute. the organiza-
ton and the lawyer con-
cerned jumped to attention
and saluted, while the very
rights for which they stand
were being burglarized.

Reminds President

Had I not grown to expect
such things over the past
seven years, I would have
been shocked and surprised
when I learned that in his
last press conference our
President, in reply to a ques-
ton from The Stars Jerry
OLeary, said he considers
Federal financial assistance
for teachers salaries a rep
resensible new idea.
Aside from the arguments
having to do with the obvious
need for increased teachers
salaries, it might be we'll to
remind the President of the
illogic Of his plea that &.
If the Federal Government
started paying schoolteachers
then it would have to figure
out the correct pay for every
councilman and all other To-
cal officials. For instance,
let's take the period between
fiscal 1853 and fiscal 1859
for obvious reasons. During
that period the Federal Gov
vernment administered $751;
$4,000 under the Vocational
Education Acts, of which ap-
proximately 80 per cent went
for teachers salaries. For the
same period, the Federal
Government administered
$685. million under Public
Law 874 (for current operat-
ing and maintenance ex-
penseS, of which approxi-
mately IS per cent went for
teachers salaries. This totals
about $685., ,950,000 for teach
ers' salaries between fiscal
1858 and fiscal 1859.
The President may not
know Of these two programs.
but even now I seriously
doubt that he would advocate
their repeal. Should Mr.. Ell
senhower, in hot pursuit Of
the bent Of his own type of
logic, discover a single coun-
Gilman whose salary has been
affected by Federal aid for
teachers salaries, then per-
haps one could listen seriously
to his admonition, II can't
imagine anything worse for
the Federal Government to
be into"
