Dr.. Judd's Service

With the ending of every Congress
there is toll, voluntary or otherwise, of
members who have made an imprint
upon the workings of the legislative
branch or upon the interests of the Ma
ton. An unusually large group in the
9th Congress already has announced
plans either to retire or to run for other
public offices. Many of these are deserv-
ing of ''well done" and good luck"
as far as their past service and future
plans are concerned.
One of these is the scholarly Repre-
sentative Walter Judd, 63-year-old Min
nesota Republican, who has announced
that he will not seek reelection because
he feels there are other things he can
do more uSefully" in future years. DR..
Judd's own varied background supports
his confidence that he can indeed per-
form useful services in the future. AS a
member Of the House for twenty years,
he has achieved distinction, particularly
as an authority on Far Eastern prob
lens, on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
A Stanch Republican party-wise, DR..
Judd has approached foreign affairs at
the higher level of non-partisanship.
His counsel in the committee and on
the floor of the House will be missed if
he does not return next January.

Playing Out the Steel Show

1t was a foregone conclusion that
the steel melodrama of last week would
be followed closely by an imaginative
variety of proposals for Government
conducted inquiries into how that indus
try, or perhaps any industry now, could
dare to suggest raising its prices, for
possible price regulation, or even for
breaking up the corporate giants" All
such proposals, of course, are advanced
''in the public interest" but with assur-
ance that they would not be pursued
in either punitive or partisan spirit.
One of the champions of the break
up theory, both vertically and horizon
tally" is Senator Gore, Tennessee DEM
ocrat. In pressing legislation to accom-
pliSh his purpose, Mr.. Gore does not
want to be punitive" only corrective"
and he makes some complaints against
United States Steel that sound almost
like complaints that have been heard at
times against the United States Govern
ment. Mr.. Gore says that Big Steel
suffers from a swollen bureaucracy, it's
cost controls are out of hand, it is en-
gagged in too many outside activities and
it has floated too much debt. Mr.. Gore
indicates that he is not necessarily
against price-fixing, assuming the price
fixer is more efficient" than United
States Steel-perhapS meaning that this
job could better be done by the United
States Government.
A somewhat broader approach-the
inquiry approach-iS made by Senator
Humphrey, Minnesota Democrat. Mr..
Humphrey proposes that the COM
petitive and pricing practices of the
steel industry be examined by "top-
level, blue-ribbon" Presidential COM
mission made up of representatives of
management, labor and the general
public. Mr.. Humphrey is not suggesting
"a controlled economy" indeed he de-
fendS our free enterprise system as hav-
ing "given us the highest standard of
living in the worlds history" but he
does see the need for the Government to
play positive role in regard to the
conduct Of the great private economic
power blocS," referring, of course, to the
steel industry as one.
There are some things about the
steel induStryS on-and-off decision of
last week that have not yet been ex-
planned satisfactorily the
timing and the near concert in which
the big companies first acted. But it is
moving pretty fast to conclude that
their awkwardness in that instance
juStifieS breaking them up. There is
ample reason to doubt, also, whether
even blue-ribbon commission, set up
in the still emotional climate Of last
weeks episode and beginning its study
in the months before a nationwide
election, could be as non-political as It's
supporters profess to hope. Further
more, if prices are to be fixed by Gov
ernment the same thing must apply
to wages and other costs. Perhaps the
best thing to have right now would be
a cooling-off period. 1

These Verbose Marques

English is an over-abundant Ian
guage, yet one with which millions
Of persons including foreigners have
learned to live. Its extravaganza is
fact of experience over which only two
groups of humans have exercised
moderate degree of control.
The groups in question are news
paper headline writer's who live crushed
between column rules, and those who
devise or create titles for plays. Now, the
latter have revolted, crowding theater
marques with more words than the
auditorium itself may be crowded with
patrons.
In contrast to the immortal abrupt
ness Of Hamlet" titles run to such
torrents of words as How to Succeed in
Business Without Really Trying" and
"a Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to the Forum" Topping even these is
that captivating piece Of gibberish of
Arthur Kopit's, "Oh, Dad, Poor Dad,
Mama's Hung You in the Closet and
I'm Feeling So Sad"
Two of the three have turned out
to be hits, the third, "a Funny Etc."
still is just beginning it's road trek
toward Broadway. In the myStique of
the theater, success is the sort of thing
that leads to vogue, or fashion. The
public perhaps should consider itself
alerted. Or maybe mere shrug will
be ample.

Up to Senator Byrd

The Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals operates in a specialized legal
field and for this reason some lawyers
who practice there have not favored the
appointment to that bench of ]. Lind
say Almond, jr., former Governor of
Virginia. Mr.. Almonds experience in
the law has been extensive, however,
and we have no doubt that he is quail
fled for the post to which the President,
after some delay, has nominated him.
His real problem is political in
nature and is concerned with Virginia's
senior Senator, Harry F. Byrd. Mr..
Almond had hoped for an appointment
to Federal judgeShip in Virginia.
However, 1t has been reported, probably
correctly, that Senator Byrd would have
done everything in his power to block
Senate confirmation of such an appoint
ment, and this, if true, is factor which
the President could not very we'll ignore.
If the Almond nomination to the
Court of Customs and Patent Appeals
has been cleared" with Senator Byrd,
that fact has not been revealed. But it
is choice which may be less objection
able as far as the Senator is concerned.
AS Federal district judge, Mr.. Almond
would have served in Virginia and might
have had occasion to rule in desegre-
cation disputes. This will not be true
OF the post to which he has been named.
Senator Byrd has also said that he will
have no comment on the nomination
until after it has been reported to the
Senate by the Judiciary Committee We
take this to mean that he will not try to
prevent committee approval, which he
probably would have done had the nom
ination been to the Federal district
bench.
This falling out between two emf
nent men who have contributed much
to Virginia dates back to the collapse of
massive resistance" to the school de-
segregation decision. Senator Byrd has
been and still is adamant in his oppo-
Sition to the courts ruling. He will not
change. Mr.. Almond reversed his field.
At first he was vehement in his oppo-
sition and then, after becoming Cover
nor, he switched to the freedom
choice" approach rather than see
Virginia'S schools closed We think he
was sincere and that this about-face
was matter of conviction with him.
Senator Byrd however, doubtless thinks
that 1t was an act of betrayal after the
votes in the gubernatorial election had
been counted. So he probably will speak

Attacking the Police

The charges repeatedly made against
the police department by the Rev. E.
Franklin Jackson, head of the local
branch OF the NAACP, are grave in
nature and harmful in effect. They
also seem to be without basis in fact.
Consequently, We publish elsewhere on
this page a letter from Police Chief
Murray which answers the accusations
in detail.
Mr.. Jackson suggests that recruit
ing practices are responsible for what
he says is prejudice by policemen
against Negroes. Specifically, he was
critical of recruiting of white appli-
cantS in Maryland Virginia and in the
Deep South. The fact is that appoint
mentS to the force are made through
the Civil Service Commission and that
police officials do not know an appli-
cant'S color until he has been certified
by the commission. Furthermore, by
way of example, the record shows that
in 1861 there were 96 policemen ap-
pointed from Pennsylvania, 40 from
Maryland, 35 from Virginia and total
of nine from the Deep South
MI. JdCkSOu also accused Cne Qe-
partment of turning its back" on some
types of crime, and called for action
against "grafters in politics, embezzlerS,
SwindlerS, narcotics suppliers and others
who are just as much a criminal as
a pocketbook snatcher" Mr.. Jackson
offered no facts to support this accu-
Sation and we do not believe it is true.
If he has any proof, however, it GER
tainly is his duty to come forward
with it.
In addition to being head of the
local NAACP, Mr.. Jackson is vice
chairman of the District Democratic
Central Committee So his words may
be presumed to carry some weight
Consequently, the diSService is greater
when unsupported charges and innu-
endoeS are used to undermine public
confidence in the police department.
Crime is no reSpecter of race or color,
and the whole community will suffer
as the effectiveness of an excellent
police force is unjuStly impaired.

contact with the applicant.
The Police Department
does not see the applicant
until he is called in for a
physical examination after
being certified to us by the
Commission. I have stated
publicly on many occasions
in the past and would like to
reiterate now that I will be
most happy to accept any
well-qualified applicant GER
titled to the Department by
the United States Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
With reference to promo
tions, it is also a well-known
fact that our examinations
from Private through Cap
tain are conducted by the
United States Civil Service
Commission and are COM
petitive. We have no desire
or Intention of showing
preference in our promotion
al examinations to anyone
because of race, creed or
color, or the State from
which they originate. Pro-
motions are based on an in
dividual'S proficiency and
examination mark, which
determines his standing on
the United States Civil Serv-
ice Commission register.
1t is inconceivable to me
that a responsible civic leader
of the community would
make such remarks as al
legged to Rev. E. Franklin
jackson, unless based on
fact, and I have called upon
Rev. Jackson to produce
such information, If it is
available.

A BOOK FOR TODAY
By DONALD MINTZ
Government and Its Underpinninqs

Political parties are a ma
jor seat of power. Allan P
Sindler of Duke University
offers a very clear account Of
tha at remarkable coalition
that exists in seeming de-
fiance of all common sense,
the Democratic Party. THE
Unsolid South: A Challenge,
to the Democratic Party" is
as lucid an exposition Of the
jockeying Of recent years as
one could wish. 1t focuses
primarily on the two con-
ventionS at which Adlai
Stevenson was nominated for
president.
John P. Mallan Of Smith
College and George Black
wood of Boston University
write about THE Tax That
Beat a Governor: The Ordeal
of Massachusetts," The essay
concerns the abortive at
tempt of Ex-Governor Forster
Furculo to be coldly reason
able about the sad condition
of his States finances with
out at the same time taking
into account some of the po-
litical realities of life in Mas
SachusettS.
THE CONCLUDING study
in the volume is in some ways
the most provocative. Andrew
Hacker of Cornell deals with
Pressure Politics in Pennsyl-
vania: The Truckers VS.. The
Railroads" Everyone will
agree that lobbyists, trade as
sociations, and public rela-
tionS firms, especially Carl
Byoir & Associates, were
somewhat over-zealous in
their efforts to win converts.
Indeed, the Pennsylvania
Motor Truck Association and
a number of truckers sued
the Eastern Railroad Pres
identS Conference, quite a
few railroads and the Byoir
firm for damages under the
antitrust statutes for alleged
abuses occurring during the
railroad-financed Byoir cam
paign to prevent the passage
of a bill raising the maximum
truck weight in the State.
The plaintiffs won in the
lower courts. but the decision
was overturned by the Su-
preme Court.
Prof. Hacker shows how
difficult it is to distinguish
what is legitimate from what
is not in this kind Of activity.
His wise remarks on the place
OF pressure groups and public
relations activity in American
politics close a scholarly vol
ume that can be said with
out exaggeration to be es-
sential to an understanding
OF our political scene today.

My husband is a stroke
patient. He has been retired
for almost two years from
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment, where he was en-
ployed for 1917 years prior
to his illness. We do not
want charity but do need
help in giving him, and 9TH
ers like him, an opportunity
to make a comeback, based
on his abilities and not or
his disability.
The Easter Seal Treat
ment Center in Lanham has
given us hope and a feeling
of accomplishment. Thera-
py, assistance and counseling
are available to all who need
it-with no loss of self-re-
spect. We pay for my hus-
bands Easter Seal therapy
at the center. Some pay more
and some pay nothing, de-
pending on their financial
resources. But no matter how
much money we had we
could not find the same ex-
pert treatment and therapy
elsewhere, as there is no 9TH
er outpatient rehabilitation
center in our vicinity.
The Easter Seal program
is a wonderful, voluntary ef-
fort on behalf of independ-
ent Marylanders interested
in helping their disabled rel
atives or neighbors. We want
to thank all of you who have
helped publicize and support
this community service.

Falls Church Taxes

Your edition Of Tuesday,
April 10, had a news article
headlined Fails Church
Okays 83To Tax Increase.
The article itself correctly
stated that the action taken
so far was only preliminary
approval" by the City Coun-
Gil at its meeting April 9,
and that final action is
scheduled after a public
hearing on May H."
Nevertheless, many taxpay-
erS in Falls Church, who
perhaps failed to thoroughly
analyze the Star article care
fully, are under. the impress
sion that this sensational
tax increase proposal is al
ready an accomplished fact
and something that they are
going to have to live with,
"willy-nilly." Of course this
is not the case because every
taxpayer in Falls Church is
going to have the opportunity
of expressing his or her
position on this vital mat
ter before any final action at
the May IA hearing can be
taken.
In my own opinion, the
Councils proposal to prac-
tically double the existing
real estate tax rate is un-
reasonable and unsound and
very unwise. On this same
subject, I read the letter of
Nell Seymour in the Star.
Mrs. Seymour labeled the
tax proposal "confiscatory"
and, to my knowledge,
many of the qualified voters
of Falls Church share this
opinion. At the same time, I
do believe that, as a last
resort, a taxpayers strike" /"
such has been proposed.
would be a drastic and most
unfortunate development and
extremely detrimental to the
city in meeting its obliga-
tions. I sincerely hope that
a self-imposed tax mora
torium will not become nee
essary.

Protest

of illegal activities in his pos
session which would have
prompted him to make such
remark.
Rev. ackson is also
quoted as stating that
the Police Department
should show preference to
District residents and was
critical of police force re-
cruiting Of white applicants
in Virginia and Maryland
and in the Deep South. If
this statement is true, it is
made in spite of the fact
that Rev. Jackson knows full
well that the recruitment Of
applicants is handled strict
ly by the United States Civil
Service Commission. To fur
ther point out the irrespon-
sibility Of this statement
which has no basis in fact,
I refer you to an available
chart which indicates the
States from which the 432
men came who were ap-
pointed to the force in 1861.
Please note that 126 were
District residents and 90
came from Pennsylvania
which is more than 500 from
these two places alone. In
addition, there is no indica-
tion of the color" of an ap-
plicant, as such information
is not used on United States
Civil Service Commission ap-
plications and has not been
used since 1941. Therefore,
the Commission has no way
of knowing the color Of an
applicant until they have
successfully passed the ex-
animation and reported in
person. Up to this point, the
Police Department has no
