There's no harm In talk
ing openly about q "reces-
sion" or q "readjustInent,
but there's q good deal OF
harm in exaggerations by
politicians. They sometimes
seek only to blame the oppo-
site party or else to develop
an atmosphere that will push
a panicky Congress into big
spending programs.
What would really be
most helpful and construc-
tive would be o discussion
that puts the whole economic
situation in perspective.
II, for instance. unemploy-
ment Is to be reduced and
held to q 4 per cent level,
which is considered normal,
it will be necessary to have
Q net growth of about 1925
600 new jobs every year from
now through 1865. This is
based on official forecasts by
the. Department Of Labor on
the coming Of age Of new
workers and the number re-
tired each year.
In addition to this, even
more jobs possibly another
2,725, 900 per year-will have
to be created to take care Of
the persons who will be dis
placed by automation and
increased productivity per

It Is easy enough to handy
about figures on what the

is sometimes facetiously re-

The National Association
Of Broadcasters has heard
its first speech by its new
president, Leroy Collins.
Some members reportedly
were startled, but all were
on their feet to cheer as he
concluded. Mr.. Collins, while
Governor Of Florida, had
demonstrated a respect for
principles and for candid dis
cussion Of them. He has not
changed. The result may be
good. not merely for broad
casting, but for all Of us.
II do not here quarrel with
the validity Of the audience
measure, or program-rating
services" he said, "but I am
shocked by their far-reach-
ing influence in the whole
nroadcaSt1ng industry. In ef-
feet, their reporting is de-
termining in large measure
not only what the American
broadcaSting diet will be, but
also at what times the meals
will be served"
This blunt conclusion was
but one Of the major points
made in a candid call for bet
ter programming. for a struc-
tural reorganization Of the
association so that it might
speak with one voice. The
NAB should be the primary
contact, he argued, not the
networks, in all important
matters concerning broad
casting.
Mr.. Collins conclusion on
rating services is q welcome
one because it concerns us
all, being by no means re-
stricted to broadcasting. Not
merely television, but many
aspects Of our public life are
affected by this urge to try
to discover the lowest COM

(AP) Maj. Gen. Stephen r.

Mr.. O'Connor's nomination

Dancer Found
In Man 'sAuto
Pleads Guilty

A 22-year-old dancer yes
terday pleaded guilty in NUM-
cipal Court to taking an ad-
mirer's wallet, car keys and
automobile.
Naomi D. Edmunds, billed as
the "exotic Naomi" at the
Dunbar Hotel, was arrested
July 13 after a minor accident
in the mans white convertible.
After humping the rear of
another car at Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV,
the girf produced a license she
said was her husbands.
Police Pvt. Walter G. Rourke
Of the traffic division said he
also saw a mans wallet in the
girls purse. She was taken to
headquarters for questioning.
Checking one of her stories
about how she got the car and
the wallet, police located a man
in a house of the HOO block
Of Oates street NV.
Where's my wallet, where's
my carp" police quoted him as
saying when they woke him.
The dancer pleaded guilty
yesterday to taking property
without right, colliding and
driving without a District per-
init. A robbery charge was
dropped.
After her brief run in court,
the girl, left for screening at
the probation office. She will
be sentenced September 8.
In another office, Assistant
United States Attorney Tim
Murphy, as a parting reminder,
urged the convertible's owner
to steer clear of dancers.

love. Christ is the Prince of
Peace. just what is a just
war;"
THE PRINCIPLES of a just
war have been clear for cen
turtles, notably since the time
of st. Thomas Aquinas, and
for that matter long before
him.
The principles boil down to
this - a just war is a war
fought for just and sufficient
causes, by just and moral
means.
Application of the princi-
pies, however, can become
agonizingly difficult, both be-
cause men do not have divine
wisdom, and because Of the
question, "What are the
facts?"
The principles might con-
veniently be divided into five
parts.
1. There must be no resort
to war unless there has first
been every responsible effort,
in good faith, to find a peace
full means of settling the dis.
pute.
2. The cause must be just
for example, grave violations
of national rights.
3. The causes to be defend
ed must be serious enough to
justify suffering the evils in.
volved in war.
4. The good which victory is
expected to achieve must not
be grossly exceeded by the
evils which war causes.
5. immoral means of fight
ing are not permissible.
1t is sometimes impossible
for the individual to deter

ditions are fulfilled.

They have wrestled with
the. problem; they know the
facts. and sometimes some of
i. the facts cannot safely be
made public; they have shown
that they do not desire war
but desire peace with justice;
they are more capable than
most of us of reaching the
correct decision.
THEREFORE, if they de-
eide, in their positions of
great responsibility, that war
is the only possible way to de-
fend values which may not be

citizen should be extremely

doing that, he would need to
be sure - nationally sure -
that he is right and they are
wrong.
In the present situation,
there cannot be any doubt
that the communists, who
have enslaved hundreds. of
millions, have given the free
world just cause for war over
and over again.
The free world, however,
has been exceedingly patient,
because the devastation pos
Sible in a nuclear war is so
terrible that it is better to suf-

choose war.

than dead" Anybody who says
that is saying that it is better
to be an atheist, a blasphe-
mer, an oppressor of the
weak, a prosecutor of religion,
and a torturer of ones fell
lowmen, than to be dead.
The truth is that if the
choice must be made between
dying or handing mankind
over to hate-filled goddess
ness, then it is inexpressibly
better to be dead than Red.

it is Christian. But if we will
