A Trust BETRAYED

Tt is bad enough when an ordinary
citizen goes wrong. It is immeasurably
worse when an officer sworn to uphold
the law betrays his trust. Nevertheless,
Policeman Raymond L. Taft of the Elev-
enth Precinct has become involved in
what police charge was burglary plot
Private Taft, after three years of ap-
parently satisfactory service on the
force, was found hiding at am. in a
Southeast theater, with set of tools
used by burglars nearby. In the theater,
also, was the policeman's roommate, an
employee of a safe and lock firm. The
policeman allegedly gave Investigators a
statement involving at least one other
HOUSEKEEPING Both men are charged
with HOUSEKEEPING in the theater case,
and grand jury inquiry has been re-
quested by Police Chief Murray.
Chief Murray is determined to have
this case thoroughly investigated And
the public will want assurance that the
theater incident is not part of a more
sinister breakdown of law enforcement
such as occurred in Denver, Chicago and
some other cities. One big difference
here Is that the disclosures and arrests
were made by the police themselves
not by some outside agency. We have
no doubt that Chief Murray will do his
utmost to get to the bottom of the mat
ter

And You Were There

We have seen no estimates as to
the number of Americans who spent
most of yesterday in front of their tele-
vision sets. But the total must have been
very substantial, and for those who were
able to spare the time it was show of
shows.
Col. Glenn was in orbit for nearly
five hours, although the television
cameras were able to focus on his space
ship for just few seconds after blast
Off Nevertheless, through ingenious use
of visual aids, recordings of the space
mans voice, shots from Cape Canaveral,
etc., the television people were able to
sustain high level of interest through
out the entire time. Regrettably, the
splash" or Col. Glenn's descent into the
sea, could not be usually recorded. But
even the achievement of this cannot
be far away-not in an age in which
science can send men off into space
while we watch from the comfort of our
living rooms

Un-Americunism

The Evening Star carried
the report that the Maryland
General Assembly is consid-
ering a bill which provides
that persons who do not OBJ
serve their Sabbath on Sum
day would have to file an af-
fidavit with police before
they could work on Sunday"
Forty-one years ago I be-
came a Seventh-day Advent
list and have felt that in
America no one should be
stigmatized for his religious
beliefs. To the present I have
never had a police record.
Now I am to register with
the police just because I may
want to do some work on
Sunday.
This un-American legisla-
ton must be defeated.

Politics and Judues

The American Bar Association Is
concerned-but, we surmise, not greatly
surprised-to find that 80 of the IS
judges so far named to the Federal
courts by President Kennedy are Demo-
Gratis. There is no occasion for surprise,
for politics always has played part in
the selection Of judges, whether the ad-
ministration in power was Democratic
or Republican. More important than
the question of party aff1liation Is the
fitness of the appointees for the heavy
responsibilities they must assume on
the bench. And, according to the ABA's
Federal Judiciary Committee, the Ken
nedy regime has scored quite well as to
the qualifications of the new judges.
Bernard G. Segal, chairman of the
bar committee which, at the request of
the President, has passed on the fitness
OF 429 men considered for judicial ap-
pointments, expressed regret that the
large preponderance of Democratic ap-
pointments under President Kennedy
has tended to unbalance what had been
an approximately even division of judge
ships between Democrats and Repub-
licans. There had been gross imbalance
IN favor OF the Democrats after 20 years
of Democratic rule, but the Eisenhower
administration saw to it that Repub-
licans finally were given a fair break.
And, in an effort to induce the Demo-
cratic Congress to enlarge the judiciary,
Mr.. Eisenhower had promised to appoint
an equal number of men from each
party to the new judgeships.
However, President Kennedy made
no such promise. AS Deputy Attorney
General Byron White commented in re-
ply to the ABA criticism, appointing
judges is "a political process in the best
sense Of these words. don't see any,
thing particularly odious about it. The
whole Government Is political system"
He asserted that fitness for the bench
was the overriding consideration in
making the selections. But Mr.. White
added that it was safe to assume that
some of the remaining Al bench vacan-
cieS would be filled by Republicans.
It Is reassuring that most Of the ap-
pointments already made were of can
didateS deemed by the ABA screening
group to have satisfactory attributes.
Fourteen were rated as Exceptionally
well qualified" Al as well qualified"
and % as qualified" Only seven were
regarded by the committee as mot quail
fed" It is unfortunate, of course, that
the whole slate could not be approved
and only time will tell whether the COM
mittee'S appraisal of the unidentified
seven was justified or not.

Upddtinq Road Needs

When Maryland's 12-year highway
program was laid out a decade ago, it
constituted neat little package of
then-foreseeable needs, financed by
revenues which include special $685.
million bond issue. But both the costs
and the designs standards of the projects
turned out to be woefully underesti-
mated. Over the years, large amounts
of available funds have had to be di-
verified to expressways. Today, less than
half the original program has been
completed. And money from the bond
issue is due to stop flowing in during
1865.
It is in view of all these things that
Maryland Roads Commissioner Funk
proposes to make a comprehensive re-
analysis of road needs in all categories,
including those projects for which coun-
ties and cities look to the State for
financial aid Certainly review of such
magnitude is in order. In seeking in
dosement of his study by the Legisla-
ture, however, Mr. Funk really is putting
members of the General Assembly on
notice that they should be prepared to
consider what in effect will be new
long-range program at the regular ses-
sion next year, one which in all likeli-
hood will require additional financing.
The normal recurring revenues of the
commission will be sufficient after 1865
to provide local matching funds for
Federal interstate highway aid, but,
according to commission officials, there
will be very little left for more.

What Downed Powers?

Rapture of the Sky" a

sibility not considered in a
news feature (Star, February

ever, the article does consider
almost everything else.

gen mask or system at high

that, after all, the United
States spent billions after the
war to restore Western Eu-
rope to its present booming
state. He is entirely right IN
suggesting-in. a nice way, OF
course-that the Europeans
owe us something for this,
u. N. or no U. N. and all that.
Their View Of u. s.
Possibly the Europeans are
wrong, too, in believing that
American policies in the U. N.
have been too coldly right
eous about their profound
difficulties in Africa and
Asia, and less than Sympa-
thetic in weighing Asian
African interests against
Western European interests.
But the plain and undeniable
fact is that the Europeans do
most bitterly believe this.
They believe it from Lon
don to Paris to West Berlin to
Brussels and to Lisbon. This
has been a dozen times con-
firmed by the most reputable
correspondents in Europe.
This columnist has had over
whelming proof of it over and
over in conversations with
allied diplomats and foreign
ministers. This is the one
absolutely certain-and alb
solutely vital-fact of life IN
the whole wretched affair.
This columnist, himself no
admirer of our U. N. policies
on "colonialism," has made
earnest efforts to grasp the
basic realities of our position.
(This position in the direct
sense is largely the RESPONSE
bility of Assistant Secretary
of State Harlan Cleveland
and U. N. Ambassador Adlat
StevenSon.)
To put the matter by ne
sessity too briefly, the con-
clusion is that what we &C.
tually do in the U. N. is not
so harmful as the impress
sion we leave with our Oldest
allies about what we do.
If this is so, the first,
indispensable step is to re-
move this misunderstanding,
at least. Until it has been
removed we shall get very lit
tie allied cooperation about
Cuba-no matter what bland
public statements to the con-
trary may be made in allied
quarters.

order to plan our future school needs"
This is evident indeed, and nowhere
more so than in the disruptive effect of
new highways. An early meeting at
which highway officials can brief the
Board of Education on imminent prof.
ects-and provide procedures for the
continual flow of information" of
which DR.. Hansen speaks in the future
is of course necessity. The concern of
the school board serves to emphasize
the degree to which the massive high
way program effects far more of COM
munity life than the moving of traffic.

Father of His Country

bdrSdlIl-IluIlGerS dIlQ GILL.
dren's parties where toy
hatchets are distributed have
tended to eclipse the real
meaning of February %.
Many people appear to be-
lieve that Washington's birth
day is a holiday to comment
crate a myth concerning a
boy named George who had
an unusual regard for the
truth.
A few minutes research of
an encyclopedia will remind
us of the character, human
ness, industry, the fore
sight and the value of this
Virginia surveyor. Although
ITO years have passed since
he babe his troops farewell
and retired to civilian life, he
is still and will continue to
be regarded as the father of
a grateful country. He
acquitted himself with honor
as a lieutenant in the French
Indian unpleasantness, and as
a two-term President of the
United States; but his great
est claim to fame is that he
was Commanding General of
the United States forces
throughout a six-year strug-
gle for American independ-
ence.
Read his farewell address
to his army, delivered Novem-
Der 2, 1888. Imagine you are
one of his. soldiers in the
audience. How your spine
tingled when he reviewed the
exploits of his command and
his gratitude to them. How
God had helped a bedraggled,
ill-clothed, ill-fed, often I'M
paid army to ultimately de-
feat the well-trained, ad-
equately equipped army OF
the crown.
Review with Washington
the disappointments and the
hardships endured by him and
his army-endured because he
kept always in his heart and
in his mind that God created
man to be free and that God
was truly on his side.
Let us think again OF some
of the things we heard at
high school when February
% rolls around, and be more
respectful and grateful and
happy that George Washing
ton lived when he did.

Inside France

Your February IA editorial,
"De Gaulle and the Mob"
asks: why then should per-
sons like Mendes-France who
ought to know better, play
leading parts in such a po-
tentially explosive undertak-
ings as yesterdays march of
some 100000 Parisians?" On
that I'd like to comment, be-
ing a close follower of French
politics ever since I served
over there as a soldier.
A former Premier of the
French, Mendes-France is per-
haps best described by your
own Constantine Brown, now
in Europe writing illuminate
ing articles about the adverse
effects of our curious foreign
policy on European countries.
He wrote:
Mendes-France Is one of
"the vultures awaiting in the
wings" to pick white the
bones of France whenever De
Gaulle slips up, or loses out.
Others include the Commu-
nists DuClos and Thorez, MIR.
Brown has advised us. Also
your interesting correspond
ent, Crosby S. Moves, has
limited as much. Mendes-
France is a left-wing Social
list.
You'll remember, no doubt,
it was Premier Mendes-
Frances mo victory" policy
in French Indo- China that
started France downhill to
lose it's overseas possessions.
Illustrate the French Army,
and laid the basis for the
Algerian crises of today. Now
look at the mess in Southeast
Asia! American troops are
going into action there,
thanks to the French Glib
eral," Mendes-France!
Likewise in Tunisia, the
French fastened to pull out.
instead of holding on to most
of their rights, because Of
policies initiated by Mendes-
France. Then, after having let
Tunisia go on the east, and
Morocco on the west, another
French government sought to
hold Algeria as an integral
part of France. It didn't make
sense to the Moslem world,
to let two countries go, but
hold on to the third
Now, Mendes-France stirs
up his socialists to riot, and
forces the gendarmes to shoot
to keep order so he can then
turn around and complain of
police brutality, thus to en-
nance his chances of taking
over, if De Gaulle is over
thrown or slain.

School Displacement

School superintendent Hansen Is
Justly concerned about the impact OF
new freeways on District schools. Ac-
cording to his estimates, proposed ex-
pressways in the Northeast and South
east alone will destroy the homes Of
more than 1900 elementary school
pupils. This displacement of families
presumably WI require shifts in the
location of some So classrooms, or the
equivalent of two large school buildings.
"It is evident" DR.. Hansen says,
"that continual flow Of information
from all District agencies is essential in

termine how much the Ma
rines in question were against
communism, or to cast any
aspersions upon their loyalty.
Its purpose was not only to
determine the extent Of their
knowledge of the sinister
workings of communism. in
order for them to more
readily detect it, perhaps at
it's source, and thus aid in
preventing its spread, but
also for the purpose of deter
mining the amount of or lack
of instruction or information
received by the Marines on
the subject of communism
from their superiors.
Every loyal American. and
I am sure the Marines will
agree, in addition to being
against communism for vari-
Gus reasons, should take
every opportunity to learn
about its methods of opera
ton to better cope with and
recognize the devious devices
employed by the enemy.
To allege that such cross
examination" reflected on the
loyalty of the Marines is as
ridiculous as alleging dis
loyalty of members Of the
Canine Corps. To interject
the loyalty issue" at this
time apparently was for the
purpose of swaying public
opinion against such investi-
cations by waving the Ameri-
can flag.
