Cornfed Cadillac

The newspapers carried a photo
graph the other day of farmer named
William T. Smith and his shiny new
Cadillac. Farmer Smith, trying to make
a point, had attached to the Cadillac
large sign which said he bought the
new car with money paid him by the
Government for not growing corn.
Mr.. Smiths point was that he
thought there was something immoral
about farm program which provided
him, at taxpayer expense, with the funds
to buy an expensive automobile In re-
turn for doing nothing. Farmer Smith
thinks the taxpayers should be burned
up, and we think so too.
Mr.. Smith runs 1,200-acre farm
In New York'S Chemung County Ac-
cording to the Binghamton Evening
Press, Mr.. Smith heard that money could
be picked up for not growing corn, and
went to the Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation Department to in
veStigate. Once there, he was told he
could get $6,500 from the Government
If he would take 40 per cent of his 262
acres of corn land out of production
this year. He agreed, and since there
were no specifications, Mr.. Smith took
out the poorest 104 acres, collected his
$500 dollars and bought the new car
Then he planted the remaining 158 acres
in corn and expects, by heavy fertilizing,
to harvest about as much corn as ever.
Ironically enough, while this was going
on, the Chemung County Extension
Service, another governmental agency,
was busily distributing information to
farmers telling them how to produce
more corn per acre
If this reads like wacky business,
don't rub your eyes. It is wacky.

Smart Beginning

Perhaps the most difficult thing
the National Capital Transportation
Agency has to overcome is a feeling
that the concept of a truly effective
rapid transit system for Washington
is so grandioSe in scale and so distant
IN time that it seems somewhat removed
from reality. 1t is especially heartening
therefore, that the agency is making
plans to develop large commuter
parking stations at strategic points
along the George Washington Memorial
parkway, now being built in Maryland,
for express bus service. This is an
easily-attainable project that could pay
heavy dividends, and which should be
widely supported
The META expects to ask Congress
for funds this year to develop the
commuter parking facilities. Once
these are assured, negotiations can be
opened with the new regional transit
regulatory agency to insure that express
bus routes are set up, to function
within the District as well as along
the parkway. In addition, the trans
portation agency is seeking money to
buy extra-wide median StripS-to hold
future transit lines-in two major
expreSSways for which rights of way
now are being laid out. In making these
requests, the agency will need all the
support it can get from the Washington
region.
c. Darwin Stolzenbach, the agency
director, is soliciting this support in
precisely the right way-by calling on
the various governing bodies of each
political subdivision in the Washington
area to fully explain the program We
hope the local political leaders will
freely criticize any aspects of the plan
they do not like, so that faults can be
corrected. Then the entire region can
present solid front on Capitol Hill
in support Of the needed appropriations.

"A Split Ticket

There are those who contend that
= the Byrd organization, or the Byrd ina
chine as the critics call 1t, will be
" fighting for its life in Tuesdays Demo-
cratic primary in the Old Dominion We
think that this is an extreme view
that the Byrd organization will remain
very much alive whatever the results of
the balloting.
1t probably is more accurate to say
. that the primary will determine whether
moderate or relatively moderate Demo-
Gratis can play an effective role inside
&. the organization with which they have
d. long been associated. For the truth is
+. that no great theological gulf separates
the opposing candidates. The differ
/. tnceS are largely matters of degree, and
even If the StephenS-Bo Boyd slate
!. should win the election Virginia politics
!. would not move significantly to the left.
AT most, there would emerge a certain
: liberalization of fiscal policy, accom-
panied by somewhat more flexible at
titude toward such problems as school
deSegregatioh
Perhaps this is another way of say
Ing that personalities will figure more
, Importantly than issues in this election.
Many voters, certainly, are not going to
be pushed into casting their ballots
within an organization VS.. anti-organi-
:. Eation framework, They will split the
i. ticket and vote for man, not faction
= We think this is good thing-a devel-
ppment which may inject certain mod
Grating influence into Virginia politics
without undermining the sound policies
which, generally speaking, have pre-
vailed in Virginia.
AlbertiS Harrison, in our Judgment,
Is eminently qualified to be the next
Governor. The election of Armistead
Boothe of Alexandria as Lieutenant Gov
ernor not only would bring progressive
minded man to that post, but would
promise some overdue recognition in
Richmond for Northern Virginia. There
Is, perhaps, less basis for a clear-cut
choice in the race for Attorney General
From what we have seen of the cam
paign, however, our preference is for T.
Munford Boyd, professor of law at the
University of Virginia
In summary, although our ballot will
not be counted on Tuesday, we would
split the ticket and vote for MesSrS Har-
riSon, Boothe and Boyd.

Pact With Puppets

Few things could be more sterile
or more unrewarding than efforts to
figure out exactly why the Kremlin,
after all these years, has suddenly
decided to work out and sign mutual
defense" treaty with the puppet Com
munistS of North Korea in Pyongyang
Possibly, as some observers have
SurmiSed, the treaty is meant to serve
as further evidence of an widening
split between Moscow and Red Peiping,
which heretofore has supposedly been
the chief mentor and master of the
North Korean regime. On the other
hand, however, quite different set of
theories suggests that the whole business
is tied in with such things as ~ South
Korea'S recent change in government
and (2) some shrewd but very murky
Soviet maneuvering in connection with
critical events in places as far removed
from each other as Laos and Berlin.
Quite obviously, speculation along
these lines is just that and nothing
more, and it certainly does not help to
illuminate the situation. Accordingly,
it seems pretentious to attempt to arrive
at definite understanding of Moscow's
pact with Pyongyang. All we can be
sure of Is that Nikita KhruShchev has
described it as something designed to
counter "a growing threat" of aggression
from South Korea, and also as some
thing required because "the United
States, Japan and other powers have
turned down all our proposals toward
the relaxation of tensions and ensuring
security in the area of the Far East"
In all Of this, as in everything the
Kremlin does, there may be much more
than meets the eye, including what is
vulgarly known as Schmaltz. Even so,
there is one thing that may be said with
certainty: The Soviet Union, as the
prime mover of the 1850 aggression
against free Korea, still has blood on
its hands and is in no poSition-morally
or otherwiSe-to lecture us as it signs
a treaty" with its Pyongyang puppets

muscle here so years ago
when it received delivery of a
spanking new Burgess
Wright biplane. AS soon as
it was assembled on a 1000

aloft. The Star reported on
July 6, 1911 that the first
flights were made by two fly
ing lieutenantS, one Of them
Henry H. (Hap) Arnold, "who
went up to $500 feet, estab-
fishing a new altitude record

100 Years Ago

Observation balloons played
a role in the Civil War, and
one of these was an object
of wonder here a century ago.
Prof. Thaddeus Lowe, an air.
minded young inventor,
backed by Prof. Joseph Henry,
director of the Smithsonian
Institution, had developed a
gas balloon, made of silk, with
an observers basket, which he
believed Union troops could
use to keep tabs on Confed-
crate maneuVering. He made
a number of captive" as
tensions in Washington, on
one occasion carrying with
him a telegraphic instrument,
attached by wire to the Presi-
dents Mansion. Mr.. Lincoln
was properly impressed when
he received the message: THE
city, with its girdlc Of en-
campments, presents a superb
scene" More fanciful was the
story that Gen. Winfield
Scott had gone up with the
professor before the Battle of
Bull Run and spotted Jeff
Davis having breakfast with
Generals Lee and Beaure-
gard, with a vast army of
10000 men sprawled about
them. An intrepid representa-
tive of The Star (whoSe
name was not given) went
aloft with Prof. Lowe and
wrote this account on July 13.
1861: Yesterday afternoon
Prof. Lowe was exercising his
balloon in the clouds for the
benefit of those who were
SollcltlouS OF an aerial trip,
and were willing to pay their
proportion Of the gas bill.
The fare was not high con-
sidering the expenses of an
initiation, and all who went
up, we believe, held that they
fully got their moneys worth.
1t was our good fortune to
participate in one of these
trips. We liked it, rather, and
vote for the airline above
all other modes of travel. Up
we slid 500 or 1000 feet into
the evening sky. with so
placid a motion that our
vehicle seemed stationary and
the earth sinking away from
us. 1t was so wonderful to see

and it was odd to hear their
voices simmer down from the
hoarse huzzah to the fainteSt
bee-like hum. Then we began
to notice the extreme beauty
of the basin in which Wash
ington lies, as seen from our
elevation; not unlike the
famed Paris basin as seen
from commanding points
about that city. Just beneath
us were the graceful sinuo-
stiles of the Smithsonian
drives and walks, and Down
ing's admirable plan of these
grounds was seen for the
first time as a comprehensive

smoke. showing where the
Rhode Island boys were prac-
ticing their batteries. At this
time an open umbrella
dropped from the balloon
sailed down parachute fash
ion, taking its time to reach
the earth; and soon after we
made our descent in the
same tranquil frame of
mind. :" The launching
site for this adventure ap-
parently was what is now

forms of entertainment tied
in with the grim business of

I took my two small daugh-

for what I thought would be
the thrill of their lives-the

the Congressional Record, that Signif-

must be pardoned for certain oversightS
. in the terrible rush of current events,
have not paid as much attention to this
speech as it deserves, and so we present
some portions of it herewith:
In 1858 the Russians were well advanced
in nuclear weapon knowshow. If they have
continued testing while we stood still with
our self-imposed ban they might we'll perfect
the fantastic weapon that Khrushchev boasted
about. Let me remind you of the Khrushchev
boast on January IA, 1860. That was more
than a year after we imposed the mora

is what Khrushchev told his Central Com
smittee of the Communist Party: Though
the weapons we have now are formidable

in the Matching stage is even more perfect
and more formidable. The weapon which

we might lose face, let us remind them-and
ourselves-that more than face will be lost

Byrd's Wisdom

Since we are told that a
big vote in Northern Virginia
for the Stephens slate of
candidates could destroy the
so-called Byrd machine" I
am moved to ask myself
whether those who seek to
destroy Senator Byrd's lead
ership are of a caliber to give
to Virginia the Kind of lead
ership which Senator Byrd
has given us through his en-
tire mature life.
The effects of gubernatorial
elections go far beyond
State lines and it is wise to
take a look at those who so
bitterly oppose Senator Byrd.
When I see Congress again
raising the National debt
limit by billions of dollars
and also see that the whole
gang of radical Spendthrifts
who have settled themselves
in Washington would rather
get Harry Byrd's scalp than
to get Khrushchev's scalp, 1
realize that we cannot afford
to lose the wisdom and COM
mon sense which Senator
Byrd has supplied to our
councils through many, many
years. Stain said, 1--WE will
make America spend herself
white" Russia has accomp-
lished much in that direction.
If this Nation had listened
to Harry Byrd's warning
voice through the past 80
years. we would have avoided
literally billions of dollars Of
waste. Frank G. Campbell.

World Disputes

In these depressing times
of grave International situa-
tions, I am reminded of q
statement made by Secretary
Of State Elihu Root in an
address delivered in 1908, in
connection with ceremonies
incident to the laying Of the
cornerstone of the building
erected by the Pan American
Union. The Secretary said:
There are no controversies
so serious that they cannot
be settled peaceably, If both
parties really desire peace
able settlement, while there
are few causes of dispute so
trifling that they cannot be
made the occasion of war If
either party really desires
war"
In 1943, I discussed before
the Institute of international
Law in Washington the sub
iect Pacific Settlement Of
International Disputes" 1
cited notable examples of
peaceable adjustment of i'm
portant questions between the
United States and Great
Britain. I further referred
to successful recourse to
processes Of peace provided
for by Convention Number
I Of The Hague: Such as
judicial methods, mediation,
good offices and commissions
of inquiry.
There have been failures
in connection with proper re-
sort by Nations to judicial
and quasi-judicial methods
of settlement of difficulties.
Briefly stated, such failures
may be ascribed to lack of
interest in these processes;
remarkable neglect; inter-
9inable delays in the settle
ment of controversies; a fall
ure to improve methods of
procedure; even fraud in
amazing forms.
