GI Education

The CT education bill
passed the Senate Labor
Committee on August /, 1861
/, and will shortly come before
the Senate for vote and
later, If passed, on to the
House. I am hoping that
you will lend assistance and
reach interested individuals
to ask them to write their
representatives suppo r t / n g
passage of this bill.
AS far as I am concerned,
there is little difference be-
tween a cold war GI" and
any other CT. Ask any young
GI or veteran today, as they
wait-fully trained and in
readiness = watching the
world sit on a powder keg-
hoping and praying that
they will still be here tomor-
row, or the next day instead
of defending our country on
some foreign soil-ask them
how much difference there
is between . "cold war CT"
and any other CT. Are they
not entitled to the same ben
efitS as other veterans?
The Government would not
be giving anything away
but merely investing it in
the future since there are a
great many veterans such as
myself who cannot afford to
finish school as we desire,

Back Chief Stewart

Congratulations on the
splendid editorial appearing
in Sundays Star regarding
Chief Harold F. Stewart,
United States Park Police.
Chief Stewart is not q
member of our order or of
our faith. but he is a Chris
tian gentleman doing an out
standing job in his profession.
The duties of my office nee
essitate meetings with repre-
sentatives of many organiza-
tions. I have had occasions
to meet with Chief Stewart
regarding Inter-Faith, ALI
American Columbus Day cell
ebrations. He is an efficient
administrator, cooperative,
and it is easily seen that he
is dedicated to police work
and the success of the United
States Park Police. This cal
iber of American is sorely
needed during these trying
times. Chief Stewart should
be commended for the
splendid job he has done and
is doing, and politicians who
are not acquainted with the
work of policing should con-
fine themselves to their own
backyard.
Again congratulations for
presenting to our American
public another unfair Udall
incident.
Justin J. Mccarthy.
Executive Secretary,
knights of Columbus.

I commend The Star for
its editorial in defense Of
Park Police Chief Stewards
position. I personally know
Chief Stewart and rise to his
defense. Here is q capable,
dedicated, hard : working
man, devoted to his duty, as
chief of a fine organization.
He spends many overtime
hours at his desk, striving
for decency and efficiency
within the force. Why Sec
retary Udall insists on oust-
ing a man Of Chief Stewards
caliber to satisfy a handful
of agitators is beyond me. II
the Secretary really wants to
help park police morale, he
can see that legislation Chief
Stewart proposes is submit
ted for action, so the few
who are responsible for dis
sension can be ousted.

How to Beat the Rop

l948, reveals remarkable success in
beating the rap, insofar as serving time
IN jail is concerned
Jackson, held for the grand Jury on
charges OF homicide, drunken driving,
speeding and operating car on a re-
voked permit, has one of the thickest
files at the District Department of Motor
Vehicles-all of 1t bad His operators
permit and tags have been suspended
three times and we're revoked (and
never restored) in 1854. He has been
charged over the years with 81 traffic
otfenses, ranging from illegal parking
and ignoring stop signs to drunken driv-
ing, hit-and-run and other types of
driving recklessneSS. Yet he has not
spent day in jail as result OF his
numerous conUictionS.
Outstanding on JackSonS record
are convictions in 1850 for drunken
driving, and in 1855 for driving on a re-
voked permit. His sentence on the for
mer charge-to which he pleaded guilty
after the dropping of hit-and-run and
driving on they wrong-side countS-was
500 or go days in jail On the other
charge he was sentenced to $100 or so
days. Apparently he had no difficulty in
raising money for the fines At the Dis
trict Jail 1t was stated that jackson ap-
peared there on one occasion, but man
aged to pay his fine before he was
imprisoned.
jackson found that suspension or
revocation of his permit was not neces-
sarily disastrous, for the records show
that after his license was suspended sew
eral years ago he was arrested several
times for moving-traff violations, but
allowed to forfeit collateral when he dis
played Maryland or Virginia permits.
1t was pointed out by the Department
OF Motor Vehicles that it is relatively
easy to get out-of-the- District permits
by giving addresses, real or fictitious, in
the other jurisdictions. No check Is
made by State authorities unless they
have reason to suspect fraud. A new,
national system for clearing all such
cases at central records office In the
Department of Commerce has just been
established, under Federal law. The
States have promised to cooperate. .s
Jackson'S latest traffic accident oc-
Cured last Thursday in the Northwest
section. The victim died at Children's
Hospital shortly after being struck by
Jackson's car. The question that arises
is: Why are such flagrantly dangerous
drivers as Jackson allowed to remain at
large until they kill or MAIN innocent
people? If the courts will not volun-
tarily send potential killers to Jail, the
law should make Imprisonment manda-
tory in such cases.

O1lc recurring Qu6SClOn IN
discussions about the ad-
ministration's foreign aid
program is What is new
about this years proposals."
The most important new ele-
ment is that economic as
sistance is now planned for
the realistic long haul of
helping the underprivileged
masses In the developing
countries realize their aspira-
tions for economic, social and
political change.
The overall approach in
ciudes these other important
new emphases:
/. Long term financing.
The concept of borrowing
authority for long term
financing is not, of course,
new. There are % examples
Of it in existing Federal lend
ing programs, and congress
sional control over the use of
borrowing authority would
still be exercised in many
ways. The use of long-term
financing for development
loans was recommended by
Presid t Eisenhower to
Congress in 1857. Such au-
thority had been granted
earlier for lending programs
under the Marshall Plan, and
borrowing authority received
congressional approval as re-
Gently as April, 1861. when
it was made part of the new
Area Redevelopment Act.
2. Recipient countries to
repay loans in dollars rather
than in local cIrrencies.
Payment in dollars avoids
unmanageable accumulation
of local currencies which
would result from continua-
tion Of the previous practices
Of soft currency" loans.
8. Increased insistence up
on Self-help measures by the
recipient countries. Secre-
tary of State Rusk has called
self-help one of the "princi-
pal strings" Of the aid pro-
gram.
4. The purposeful and sys-
tematic attempt to deal with
the priorities of a recipient,
country's whole development
program on an integrated
basis, instead Of giving as
sistance to a series of indi-
vidual projects which may or
may not dovetail. Such plan
ming will take into account
all factors that contribute to
growth - capital, develop
ment Of sound public admin
istration and technical as
sistance, skilled labor forces,
managerial skills, the crea-
tion of the necessary motives
and interests. and greater
emphasis on the development
Of human resources and
economic and social institu-
tions.

sin Corridor" and reporting
efforts of Donald e. Gingery
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Capital Park and Planning
Commission to force" the
District to locate highways
within the District to suit
outsiders.
Mr.. Gingery is quoted as
saying that Montgomery
County should serve notice
on the District that I'VE in
tend to meet them at the
Western avenue location and
at no other place"
The matter of location of
highways within the District
should be for the decision of
District officials and District
residents. Why should any
State have a SAY" on prof.
ects on which they pay no
part within the District)
which are for the convent
ence and accommodation of
their residents and to the
detriment of residents Of the
District?
So far as 1 am concerned,
I'd like to see Montgomery
County run. q highway to
the District line at q loca-
tion not preferred by the
District, and have it dead
end there. I'm personally
pretty sick of our building
highways to bring in those
who have fled the city and
pay their taxes elsewhere. /
don't think we owe them any
services whatever, and If
they don't get any, maybe
they'll move back to the
District to keep their jobs or
find a job nearer home and
quit cluttering up our streets.
Why this city should be
torn to pieces, its trees re-
moved to make way for wider
streets and its public trans
portation slowed down by the
influx Of foreign cars" and
its parking places taken up
by outsiders so city dwellers
can't park in front Of their
own homes, Is beyond my
comprehension. If outsiders
want highway accommoda-
tions within the District to
accommodate their residents,
let the States-and especial
ly Mr.. Gingery = pay for
them!
We lose taxes on property
removed to make way for
highways, and other real
estate has to be taxed higher
to make up the difference.
Our home assessment has
been increased twice within
two years, the second time
by % per cent, and rates are
now to be increased from
$3.50 to $3.50. Displaced
people who can afford it
move to the States and pay
their income and sales taxes
there. It's time we say an
emphatic mo" to paying for

fit its residents.

than at any time In, the past

now can afford to operate
openly, defying the govern
ment to take effective eoun-
ter measures. ~
There has been evidence
enough of this In the last
few days. In Algiers the town
is plaStered with posters Of
the "OOOAAASSS", q secret
army organization. -
Propaganda den ouncing
President de Gaulle and glori-
flying leaders of the rebellion
circulate freely through the
mails both in Algeria and
metropolitan France. This
week, conspirators myteri-
ously succeeded in blacking
out Radio Algiers for Is min
utes while broadcasting a
violent attack on the govern
ment and summons to rebel
lion on the same frequency.
Leaders of all this activity
include many of the same
men who led the abortive "re-
volt of generals" against the
Fifth Republic last April.
Gen. Raoul Salan, although
condemned to death in ab-,
sentia by French courts. still
apparently operates freely
enough in Algeria. His pro-
paganda claims that o new
uprising Is being prepared
which will sweep him to.
power and that tomorrow
this leader win be your
leader. Even timing of the
coup is being advertised as
scheduled for the end of next
week-when most Frenchmen
are off enjoying their vaca-
ton and Paris is left largely
to tourists.
1t would be easy enough to
be able to dismiss all this as
simply a bit Of midsummer
poppycock.

self is reported, to be quite
undisturbed. But at, the same
time one cannot help notice
ing heavy reinforcements Of
police that have appeared
around the Elysee Palace and
key government buildings
within the last few days. Or
quiet announcements that
top members Of government
President de Gaulle included
have decided to cancel
their own vacation plans
over this critical period.
One can't help noting,
either, a growing conviction
among careful observers in
France that unless this con-
spiracy is finally destroyed,
1t will in the end succeed in
its aims. Though the ma
jority Of the country GER
tainly doesn't support it to-
day, there would be few
enough to fight it actively in
event of a showdown. In
deed, there are many who
believe that without Presi-
dent de Gaulle, q military
dictatorship in France is vir-
tually inevitable. And If It
comes. everything which
President de Gaulle has stood
for-including the solidarity
Of the Western alliance-will
be imperilled as never be-
fore. 10 -

PARIS.

. NA4sAASs
There is q certain irony
about the result of the meet
ing Of Western foreign min
listers here. A firm line on
Berlin has been virtually i'm
posed on the Atlantic alliance
by one member whose own
political stability Is becoming
more uncertain every day.
There is no question that
French arguments on the
Berlin crisiS-and what the
proper allied response should
behave prevailed here this
week. The British, backed at
least lukewarmly by Ameri-
cans, would have preferred
some positive Western move
toward reopening negotia-
tions with Soviet Premier
Khrushchev on Berlin. In
the end, they were persuaded
that this in itself would be
an unnecessary concession to
the Russians at the present
stage.
The cool "wait and see"
approach to any new moves
which the Russians may
make, bears the unmistakable
stamp of French President
de Gaulle's diplomatic ap-
proach. 1t is in fact his
characteristic reaction to any
crisis that threatens him
from any quarter.
So far as Berlin is con-
cerned, this approach may
be sound enough. What Is q
good deal less certain is that
President de Gaulle's frosty
aloofnesS will pull him
through the crisis on his own
home front that is daily tax
ing on more sinister over
tones.
Another Threat
It is natural enough, per-
haps, that so little has been
written about this crisis out
side Of the French press. SO
far as outsiders are con-
cerned, there is an almost in
evitable reaction of "0h no,
not,again" to reports that still
another military coup d'etat
threatens in France. That
wheels Of conspiracy still are
spinning merrily is the un-
pleasant fact of life which
most people prefer to ignore.
And the possibility that this
time 1t will succeed where
others have failed Is still
more unpleasant.
Simple facts, however, can
not be ignored. And the
central fact is that there
still exists in France and in
Algeria a well-organized con-
spiracy against the govern
ment, determined at the
proper moment to overthrow
President de Gaulle and set
up a military dictatorship on
the ruins of the Fifth Re-
public. Its avowed purpose
would be to continue the war
in Algeria at all cost to
France and the West, revers-
ing completely the process
of "decolonization" President
de Gaulle has followed since
returning to power.
From all evidence, this
conspiracy has survived vir-
tually intact over the last
three years. Despite success
sive defeats and ensuing
"purges" of the army, it is
