NEW YORK R - Remarks that school teachers get tired of hear ing:
 duties, Miss Elmo, we expect you to act as chaperon at school dances, put on three plays a year, and act as career counselor We sure would appreciate it, too, if you could help take tickets at the football games this fall"
 Well, yes, you have the ex perience all right, but speaking frankly, we'd hoped to get a younger teacher with a more ad vanced degree After all, the job pays S3,650 a year"
 We realize you have to make both ends meet, MT. Johnson, but I'm afraid we can't countenance moonlighting. It just doesn't look right for a high school civics tea cher to hold a job on the side as a night watchman"
 q think you'll find us a pretty liberal school board, Miss Elmo. We haven't burned a library book in three - no, I think it's four years" :"
 My teacher used to hit my palm with a ruler if I couldn't spell word. You won't do that to my little Oswald, will you?''
 ''This is by no means a hide bound community, Miss Elmo, but I think you'd make bigger hit with the parents if you uh - wore a little less makeup and - uh--didn't use a cigarette holder in public.''
 ''Yes, MT. Johnson looks harm less enough now, but my cousin knew him in college and says he was always circulating petitions for something or other - l forget what"
 ''Ain't you the new schoolmarm ma am? Whatcha got on for to- night? I'm free as a bird"
 Johnson, whats this nonsense you've been giving my wife about my boy being socially shy? I've told that kid a dozen times Tc break every bone in his head i. he didn't speak up in class wher it was his turn"
 T admit we're paying you less than the town dog catcher, MT Johnson - but he's the mayors brotherin-law, and besides, he has to work all summer
 My child never acts that way at home. If he didn't learn it here at school, where did he learn it?''
 We're proud to have you, Miss Elmo, but I guess nobody will ever take the place of Miss Greene in our hearts. She served in our school system for 45 years - until she retired this summer and en- tered an old ladies home with the money she'd saved

The $5-million grant which the
Ford Foundation has earmarked for the
National Cultural Center should be a
powerful Stimulant to this vital project.
The fact that one-Sixth of the total
construction cost will be available from
this single source contingent on the
remainder of the goal being metz is
obviously cause for elation in itself.
Beyond that, however, the action of the
Ford Foundation supports the argument
that the center will be truly national
facility, deserving nationwide support.
Perhaps this is the push that was needed
to revive the Embarrassing effort around
the country and to spur Congress to
complete the acquisition of the site along
the Potomac. We hope so, for surely
there is no doubt about the need.

Adjustment

1t was fairly easy for Montgomery
Councilman Thomas M. Wilson, novice
following some bad political advice, to
lead the movement for his county's
withdrawal from participation in Metro
politan Area affairs. 1t was considerably
harder for DR., Wilson, finding that he
was wrong, to say so. To his credit, how
ever, this is what he has done.
DR.. Wilson says he changed his mind
about Montgomery County membership
in the Washington Metropolitan Council
Of Governments after attending some of
its meetings-especially an all-day COM
mittee session on council policy recently,
at which he was very impressed"
What particularly impressed him,
the doctor continued, was that he sensed
an inclination on the part Of other local
politicians in the region to put func-
lions back in the hands Of elected Off
Gals" This must be somewhat puzzling
to these locally-elected politicians, since
none of them thus far has surrendered
a smidgen Of local autonomy to anyone.
Nor is such thing likely, at least in the
immediate future. There is a great deal
Of good which can be accomplished
through cooperative decisions on re-
gional programs, however, and 1t is
encouraging TO see that the newly elected
guardians OF Montgomery County may
be ready to open their eyes to this fact.

Heavenly Horse Race

1t is good to note that the Soviet
Unions latest lunar probe has stirred up
little excitement in our country. A few
years ago any such event would have
greatly agitated many Americans, and
more than few Cassandras would have
cited it as further evidence of the Vests
decline and communism's steady march
toward Spatial position so dominant
as to make the Kremlin master of the
entire earth. Happily, however, as far as
exploring the heavens is concerned, all
OF us have acquired better sense of
perspective, and certain amount of
wholesome sophistication, with the
passage of time.
To say this, of course, is not to
suggest that the new Soviet moon probe
is an inconsequential thing. Actually,
as President Kennedy suggested at his
news conference yesterday, the voyage
of Lunik-4 serves as a reminder that the
United States still lags behind in the
field of weight-lifting rocket power.
True, our deficiency in that respect may
we'll be eliminated in the next few years,
and ,conceivably we may forge ahead of
the Russians. Meanwhile, though, they
probably will be busy trying to develop
something bigger and better than ours,
and they are likely-deSpite the enor-
nous costs involved-to spare no effort
to be first in making manned landing
on the moon.
AS for the exact meaning of Lunik-
as mission, the Kremlin, with character
istic secretiveneSS, has thus far given
the world nothing but the most gener-
allied information. Outsiders can only
ask questions at the moment. Thus, as
surfing that the craft remains on course,
will 1t orbit the moon to send back
pictures and other data vital to human
lunar expedition? Or will it make a soft
landing on the satellite to determine
what the place is made of? After all,
wholly apart from the whimsical green
cheese theory, some, experts have sug-
gested that the moons surface consists
of layers of cosmic dust 20 feet deep-an
environment that would be most inhoSpi-
table to Spacecraft with either Ameri-
cans or Russians abroad.
In that particular, the moon is
certainly no respecter of earthlings,
regardless of theology or place of birth.
Accordingly, to the extent that it may
help to reduce the hazards of human
lunar expeditions, Lunik-4 merits best
wishes for success. AS for the long-range
prospect of American-Sovie competition
in the high heavens, DR.. Hugh Dryden,
NASA's distinguished deputy admins
traitor, seems to us to have struck the
right note in declaring that the whole
business is comparable to horse race
in which sometimes one horse is ahead,
and sometimes another"

Hail and Farewell

As far as we know, Harold F. Stewart
was good chief of the Park Police. But
the politicians in the Interior Depart
ment wanted to get rid of him, ana they
have finally shipped him down the river.
AS public official with Civil Service
status, Chief Stewart was entitled to be
served with charges juStifying his custer
and with hearing on those. charges. No
charges were preferred and no hearing
was held. The reason, we think, is be-
cause no provable charges against Mr..
Stewart could be advanced. Instead,
Secretary Udalps minions "exiled" the
Chief to Guam for the transparency
phony purpose of studying and reporting
on Guam'S police force. If any citizen
sometimes wonders what happens to his
tax dollars, here is small illustration
of where they go. How about trip to
Guam some time for an ordinary tax
payer?
Well, Chief Stewart, bowling to the
inevitable, finally has resigned de-
cision on his part which possibly was
made bit easier by salary raise last
June which will increase his retirement
pay in some small degree. Thus, the New
Frontier politicians have had their way.
To the erstwhile Chief Of the Park Police,
we say: Hail and FAREWELL To those
Civil Service procedures which the New
FrontierSmen have trampled on in this
case, we say: Good luck from now on
out!" (They will need it,

We're With Arthur

There has been more than one &C.
caSion when we thought that Arthur
Sylvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Public Affairs, demonstrated a Spe-
cial talent for the foot-in-mouth per-
Torrance. But we would like to be
counted as standing 100 per cent with
him in this fantastic business of lie
detector tests for ranking officials in
the Defense Department.
According to news reports, the
Deputy Secretary of Defense and the
Navy and Air Force Secretaries had
agreed to take lie detector tests in con-
nection with the Mcclellan Committees
investigation of the Tx controversy
Mr.. Sylvester, more power to him, stood
up and said in effect: To He'll with it!
Let's stop and think for moment
about what kind of madness this really
is. Is the Deputy Secretary of Defense,
or the Secretaries of the Navy and the
Air Force, to be put in the same class
with pickpockets and Second-story men?
If so, Heaven help us. We will be buried
sooner than even Mr.. KhruShchev thinks
In saying this, we do not forget
Teapot Dome and similar governmental
scandals. And if the Mcclellan Com
mittee thinks witnesses have lied to it,
there are ways of ferreting out the truth.
But, please, not lie detector tests for our
highest officials We are happy that Mr..
Sylvester knocked this one down, and we
are glad that President Kennedy Stomped
on it at his news conference.

There is only one honorable
solution vis-a-vis the world
situation today: Recognition
of the fact that we are at
war and action accordingly.
The first and perhaps decisive
step of that recognition of
war should be to free Cuba of
its Communist bonds. That, of
course, should mean a sudden
descent on the island in over
whelming power. If it results
in World War III, better now
than later, but the probable
tiles are it will result in no
such thing. The Russian at
tack on Hungary in 1856 re-
suited in no Third World War
- though 1t should have.
An American attack on the
Communist government Of
Cuba would at least ,estab-
lish a fact that we have
enough courage and relative
power left to protect others
and incidentally ourselves in

Arqentino's Turmoil

Political and economic crises have
been a way of life in Argentina for most
of the past 20 years. In more ways than
one, this weeks uprising preserves a
pattern that has become familiar-one
(of bitter rivalry between military fac
tions, with the fate of civilian authority
baSically at the mercy of the service
(quarrelS.
Since Juan Peron, an army officer
himself, the military either has occupied
the presidential office or has had the
dominant voice in debating the identity
and behavior Of whoever carried the title.
The closest to free election in this
period occurred when Arturo Frondizi
was voted into office in 1858, but military
diSpleasure at both political and eco
nomic policies of his administration
finally led to his custer in early 1862,
long before the end of his term. It was
the military then that promoted Jose
Maria Guido from the presidency OF the
Senate to the presidency of the country.
While DR.. Guido has paid public tribute
to the principle Of civilian political
authority, his administration has by
necessity been a near dictatorship that
has survived thus far largely because he
has been both skillful and lucky in his
dealings with the rival military cliques.
Roughly, the division within the
military has centered to great extent
on the issue Of Peronism. One faction,
including the Navy leadership, has been
both disappearing and fearful OF the
political strength shown by followers
Of the exiled dictator, and for that rea-
son has been hostile TO the suggestion
that Peronistas should be allowed to
vote In national elections, which Dr.
Guido had scheduled for next June 49,
Their alternative would be suppression
Of political rights and the creation Of
another government by military junta.
The President and those of the military
who are loyal to his government favor
civilian rule basically and believe that
the Peronistas-w ithout-Pero must be
absorbed into the political system.
It is unlikely that this weeks revolt
will be the last An unfortunate by
product of these recurring political
crises, however, is that the problems Of
budgetary deficits, initiation, unemploy-

Madison on ChopIoins

The Star has published
inflammatory and erroneous
interpretations Of the mean
ing of the First Amendment.
1t is significant that all of
the attacks had a common
element. Theycited permitted
exceptions to the First
Amendment as justification
for further violations. A ia
vorite exception cited was the
system Of Government chap
lains. Jenkin Lloyd Jones
said sarcastically: "B tn

to atheist citizens? Let's fire

Do Mr.. Jones and his fell
low critics know or care that
no less a parsonage than
James Madison, our fourth
President and a principal
figure in the writing of the
First Amendment, was out
spokenly against the Govern
ment chaplain system? It is
certainly appropriate enough
to use Madison's own words,
quoted below from his de-
tached Memoranda" to show
how the authors Of the First
Amendments religious clause
felt about its meaning (note
especially the first sentence
and his use Of the words "es-
adjustment" and establish
esq:
"The Constitution Of the
United States forbids every
thing like an establishment
Of a national religion. The
law appointing chaplains es-
tabliShes a religious worship
for the national representa-
tives, to be performed by
ministers of religion, elected
by a majority of them; and
these are to be paid out of
the national taxes. Does not
this involve the principle of
a national establishment, APP
plicable to a provision for a
religious worship for the
constituent as well as Of the
representative body, approved
by the majority. and con-
Quoted by ministers of reli-
gion paid by the entire Ma
ton?
THE establishment Of the
chaplainship to Congs (sic)
is a palpable violation of
equal rights, as well as Of
constitutional principles"
Anyone familiar with the
writings Of Madison and
jefferson on such matters
knows that they and the
others most important in the
writing of the Constitution
opposed violations of "con-
stitutional principles" exem-
plified by the Government
chaplains system. In par

for his statement that the

Recent news stories did not
fully report actions taken by
the Board Of Managers of
the d. c. Congress Of Parents
and Teachers with respect TO
DR.. Hansen's recommended
program for improving dis
cipline in the public schools.
To complete the record and
to clarity the position taken
by the Board Of Managers
(which II stated did not nee
essarily represent the feeling
Of the local associations). /
wish TO report the following:
/. The board unanimously
Endorsed the superintendent
recommendation that "rea-
sonaLle force may be invoked
by school personnel In emer-
gency situations TO protect
the health and safety of the
pupils and the school per-
sonnet. or 10 protect school
or public property. and Tor
TO protect the normal func-
tioning Of the class or
school," Reasonable force Is
defined In the Superintend-
ent's guidelines as that de-
gree OF force which a rea-
sonable person would deem
necessary 10 employ TO cor
rect an emergency situation
-. and may include such
actions as taking a pupil by
the arm or coat lapel TO pro-
pei him in a desired direc-
ton after pointed opposition
TO authority or direct DISC
bedience." The Board TOOK
the position that discipline
situations could be ade-
quately handled under this
policy. Frankly, Board mem
bers felt that this authority
already exists and is outlined
generally In the administra-

Report on Britain

AS a visiting Englishman,
I share your view that the
present friendly relations be-
tween our two countries will
remain, even If Harold
Wilson should come to power
in Britain at the head of the
Labor Government. Like Mr..
Attlee's brand, Mr.. Wilson's
may well prove less extreme
than is now anticipated.
Doubtless you are quite
right, too, in rating Mr., VIII
sons chances of office as
pretty good, and. of course,
despite present reverses, the
Conservatives cannot be elm
mated as possible victors.
May / suggest, however, that
on both sides of the Allan
tic, political upsets are not
unknown? The British Liberal
Party is still the only one of
our three political outfits to
make steady progress in ev-
cry type Of constituency. Your
readers would be wise, there
fore, to keep in the backs of
their minds the possibility Of
the Liberal outsider" being
first past the post. if not in
1864, then certainly in 1868.
While 1 would be the last
to deny that Mr.. Wilson and
President Kennedy may have
much in common, I suggest a
Liberal government at West
minister might be even more
to the liking Of Washington.

lief that through efforts to

Of the discipline problem can
be attacked. To this end the

by attempting TO contact
those parents who need as
