Fifteen of this year's 95 seniors will step directly from cap and gown into military uniform after tomorrow gradua tion exercises at College Park. All fifteen received Jtheir com missions as second lieutenants as well as orders to active duty at pre- commencement exercises held in the Second English Lutheran Church this morning. Five will join the Army Dental Corps and ten the Air Force Dental Corps 13 Others Enter Reserves Thirteen of their classmates also received reserve commissions as first lieutenants in the Army and Air Force. More than 80 members the graduating class are veterans. At this morning's exercises Ralph William McCue received the university gold medal for the high est scholastic average during the four-year course.

Certificates were presented five other members of the honor roll: William Randall t'UOUU.

-1 i ule uew tnronomeier IS a nuge I error. Probably there are activities which half second a day mat- ters. Fortunately for most of us, they are no concern of ours. To have to plan ordinary pursuits to the sixty-thousandths of a minute would be intolerable. Life indeed may be as Shakespeare had it, time's fool.

Happily not so much lts fo1. as yet that it has to obey a chunk of quartz and a set of tubes. Beef And Controls At the moment, the problem of controls divides itself into two. First and more important is the question of continuing the law under which controls over prices, over allocations and over credit are imrjosed. The law expires on i by Mr.

Charles E. Wilson's organization will be seriously im paired; the price control effort under Mr. DiSalle and' the restrictions on credit set up by the Federal Reserve Board would also collapse. That is one thing. Another thing is beef.

The effort to con trol beef prices has reached a temporary deadlock. Confronted by a rollback (effective on Mon day) of ten per cent in prices for rattle on the hoof, stockmen have curtailed their marketings. As a result the supply of beef is threat- ened. That is to say, there is a possibility that we may see the history of the year 1946 repeat itself, when the supply of legal beef diminished almost to the vanishing point while the supply of black-market beef achieved substantial proportions. Perhaps this threat of a return to 1946 is only temporary.

Mr. DiSalle, who is responsible for price-control administration, thinks the will pass. Appearing on a television 'program on WMAR last night, he said that "just as soon as cattle raisers get it into their heads" that the OPS intends to go through with its plan for further rollbacks of prices, cattle will again move to market. That is a possibility, but the cattlemen are working to bring about the abandonment of the plan for further rollbacks, and cattlemen have votes. In this matter we are up against the stern fact that controls to be effective cannot be administered without regard for their impact on the people controlled.

This is an unfortunate fact, as we have seen, in the case of the wage ceilings. It has been found expedient some people would use the word necessary to make some exceptions in those in order to avoid a head-on conflict with labor. Some concessions to the cattlemen may be expedient too. As to that we shall see what we shall see. The point to note is that the question of beef is a question of administration.

It centers on the problem of how to do the job. The larger question of controls in general, which must be passed on by Congress, is one of deciding what job to do. This point must be kept clearly in mind. Controls are going to be more needed next fall when the defense program begins to consume larger proportions of' our available supplies than is the case today when defense production is still in its initial stage. It would be most unfortunate if the acute difficulties over beef should bring the whole system of controls into disrepute.

That is not likely, but it is possible. The best way to guard against it is to remember that the, beef controversy centers on the matter of administration, the legislative controversy over controls in general centers on basic issues. Richardson Retires In the highly charged political atmosphere of Washington it is not surprising that a man who describes himself as a "lifelong, contentious Republican" should be on the receiving end of a con tinuous brickbat barrage from members of his own party. This has been the position of Mr. Seth W.

Richardson, who for health reasons has now resigned as head of the controversial Sub- versive Activities Control Board, In spite of ill-informed personal I attacks on his integrity, mostly by fellow Republicans, Mr. Rich ardson managed to turn in a high ly creditable job in a very tick- lish situation. To understand why Mr. Richardson managed to get himself so vilified while in office It has to be realized that there has been deliberate effort to make political capital out of "subversion." Mr. Richardson, by administering the Loyalty Review Board in a nonpartisan and objective fashion, did not lend himself to the tactic.

As a result, he was accused of being a "Truman Republican," and a pliant tool of the Administration. In particular, Mr. Richardson has been flayed for neglect in reviewing the charges against William W. Remington when his is to he his as old he to ing Loyalty Review Board. And he is charged with having abetted a "whitewash" of the Roosevelt Administration in the Pearl Har bor investigation, when he was counsel to the investigating com mittee.

As Mr. Arthur Krock has pointed out in the New York Times, the fact is overlooked that Mr. Richardson made a minority report in the latter case which was rejected by the Democratic majority. Also overlooked is the fact that the frame of reference by which he was limited in the Remington, case compelled the Loyalty Board to clear- the accused Partisan heat does not gener ate much respect for facts. Mr.

Richardson, if he didn't provide enough fuel to keep the Red hunt going full steam, at least has the satisfaction of having done a needed job in a commendable manner. The Beltway Proposal The big question about the new Harrisburg pike has been where to bring it into Baltimore city. The answer may come out of the conference yesterday of repre sentatives of the State Roads Commission, Baltimore county and Baltimore city. Baltimore county made a pro posal to the State which in a sense is precedent-setting. The county offered to bear the full cost of obtaining the right of way for a heltwav rnnner-tino- tho suburban population centers around Baltimore city, provided the State bears the full cost of its construction.

The Harrisburg pike would terminate at the belt-way and would not come directly into the city. The beltway would connect with the proposed Jones Falls expressway when the latter reaches the northern city line. The beltway would be a divided highway, and probably would 'have no major intersections at grade. Undoubtedly it would be heavily traveled and would be come an important link in the State roads system. At the same time, it would be an important local thoroughfare running through the county's thickly populated metropolitan district.

It would be comparable, say, to streets in Baltimore city which are parts of State and national arteries. Plainly both the State and the county have a legitimate interest in the beltway the county prob- more than the State, since the State's primary concern is bringing the Harrisburg pike into Baltimore city. For that reason the State has agreed to consider the county's plan seriously and to take a position on it soon. That the State is willing to consider the beltway as an alternative to bringing the Harrisburg pike directly into Baltimore city a significant development. Both the county and the city in the past have committed themselves to the beltway idea, but the State has until now shown little inter est in it.

It looks now as if there might be a meeting of minds. Mr. Billopp Unexpected Ally You say to yourself that life is too short to be taken up with vio lent arguments. You are distressed over the times you have let your passiono run away with you. Therefore, when you meet Jones, you are on your guard.

For Jones and you have not seen eye eye on many issues. In fact, your impression of Jones is that is not well informed. Further more, in your opinion, Jones is actuated more by his emotions than by sound reasoning. In consequence you do not men tion what you have just read in the newspapers or heard on the radio or over television this morning. Instead, you remark on the ideal state of the weather.

You question Jones about his vacation plans. You ask after the health of wife and children. You behave as though there was no such thing as a critical world situation or a government either here or abroad. Instead, you engage in such pleasant subjects food and drink, and what good pictures, if any, there are at the movie theaters days. You remind Jones of the good days.

You mention mutual acquaintances and ask Jones what knows about them and imp'art him whatever news you have. You discuss the numerous ail- ments from which you are suffer- and you listen patiently while Jones describes all of his. The meeting is dull and unexciting enough. But, at any rate, you have not let yourself in for a heated and unpleasant argument with Jones. So you can part as friends.

However, just as you are leaving you grow a trifle careless. You make a chance remark on current affairs. And Jones responds. And-what is your surprise and astonishment to find that your precautions were not necessary For, strange to say, this once at least, Jones thinks exactly as you do.

Truck Noise In County To the Editor of The Evening Sun Sir: I Jead with great in terest a letter in the Forum last night objecting to the noise of trucks and motorcycles in the resi dential areas of Baltimore city. We; in this usually quiet community of Cub Hill, have had just that same thing "shoved down our throats." Most of the homes in our neigh borhood are less than three years old, all of which are nice homes into whieh we put our life's sav ings, we bunt tnem nere Decause it was a quiet place in which we could safely raise our children without the "fear of them being mowed down by trucks. Then the George D.

Fox Com pany came along and bought a nice dairy farm up the road on whioh they now store big tar trucks. This mormng alone I counted six of these trucks passing my home between 6.30 and 7.30, not to mention the ones that rum ble by in the middle of the night and all day long. At least 90 per cent of the resi dents objected to the rezoning of this property but they were still granted the permit. Last week we personally appealed to the county commissioners and we now have A WW an appeal Deiore me zoning Board. We won't go down without a good fight, believe me.

What we'd like to know is, does the majority still rule or must we put up with this type of thing just be cause we don't "stand with the right people? Mrs. J. E. Seidl. Towson, Jun 6.

Questions Air Editorial To the Editor of The Evening Sun Sir: May I congratulate you on your choice of words for the heading of your editorial of May 30 entitled "More of the Same" in reference to General Vandenberg's testimony before the Senate committee. That is ex actly what it was more of the same sniping at tne Air i orce and air force policies which you have indulged in from its begin ning. Your recent editorials have praised the Joint Chiefs because they were looking at the overall world situation instead of the lo calized Korean viewpoint. At the same time, you take General Van- denberg to task because he did not devote himself to Far East ern issues, but instead discussed the 'dangers of war in general terms. His point that air power has been the "sole" deterrent of Russian aggression came in for its share of the beating, and was magnified out of proportion, as usual.

Neither General Vanden- berg nor any other responsible air force officer has advocated to my knowledge the policy of letting the Air Force do every thing and relegating the other services to a minor role. If you know of any, they should be re vealed. Otherwise, such charges are mere insinuation and implica tion. By your own admission, Gen eral Vandenberg emphatically de- nied this and recognized the im-' portance of the other services. Air force policy seems to have been predicated on the thesis that air supremacy is necessary ior survival in modern warfare.

It would appear that many persons outside the Air Force also hold to this idea. If we consider the possibility of all-out war in the immediate fu ture, the only country which would seem to be our main op ponent is Russia. The question arises as to how to carry a war to a country so situated. Under such circumstances, Mr. Editor, would you suggest that our main policy should be to attempt to match Russia's land armies, or to fight it out with them on the sea with our superior navy? In January, 1948, the Presi dent's Air Policy Commission sub mitted its report.

Among other ii t-v things, it called for an Air Force oi vu comoai groups, jrresiuein. Truman slashed that to 48. When Congress appropriated funds for 52 groups, Mr. Truman refused to allot the money for the extra four groups. Under the circumstances, the Air Force emphasized the stra tegic bombing aspect as our best defense and deterrent to aggres sion, certainly, our aecimatea Army and Navy in moth balls dur-' ing the postwar years was not much of a deterrent.

When hostilities arose, the calamity howlers immediately screamed bedause we did not have a large tactical air force in combat readi ness. At the end of your editorial you emphasized that the Air Force cannot perform its major missions without sea and land power to supplement it. What you have consistently failed to bring out is that the same is equally true of the other two. Edward F. Cooper.

Ellicott City, June 1. Editor's Note This newspaper has consistently advocated a strong, land-based air force as an indispensable element in a bal anced military setup. There have been repeated reminders, how ever, of the dangers in overem phasis on long-range, land-based, strategic bombardment to the neglect of tactical air for the support of ground troops and carrier- borne aviation, which is both tacti cal and strategic in its potenti I Music Festival To the Editor of The Evening Sun Sir: Now that the Civitan Club is again sponsoring a music festival at the Memorial Stadium, it is to be hoped the affair will be a great success. I understand the proceeds from this event are to be used for the benefit of retarded children. Since the range of mentally re tarded children extends in so many directions, I am wondering where and how the money is to be used.

Will it be used to train teachers for opportunity classes in the pub lic schools? Classes which should have an enrollment of 10 or 12 are overcrowded with 30 or more pupils. Will the money be used to set up a number of summer camps? At the present time there are no moderately priced camps geared to accept such children. The Civitan Club, through their splendid efforts, is making it pos sible to hope to solve the problems concerning retarded children. However, in order to assure con tinued success in this worthy cause, I hereby appeal to other organizations to join in helping the long-neglected, forgotten, mentally handicapped children. Mrs.

Charles Volk. Baltimore, June 6. Editor's Note Last year the proceeds from the festival were used to provide scholarships for teachers of handicapped children. This year the proceeds will be ad ministered by a committee headed by Dr. Clifton T.

Perkins, State commissioner of mental hygiene. and Dr. Harry Latshaw, director of special education for the Balti more public schools. Sixth District Complaints To the Editor of The Evening Sun Sir: On April 25 a speaker for the Mayor spoke of his good protection to schoolchildren crossing streets. Is there a more dan gerous corner than Fulton avenue, Hollins street and Frederick ave nue intersection for them to cross? It is almost impossible for pe destrians to cross this intersection without protection against the ter rific traffic on Fulton avenue.

This corner should have a traffic light. About October 1, 1950, 1 mailed a petition to the Mayor and Coun cil covering the area from West Fayette street to Wilkens avenue. It contained about 285 signers. including representatives of schools, churches and residents, requesting that intercity trucks and busses be rerouted to a differ ent course because of destruction to properties, annoyance to school classes, church services and per sonal disturbances to residents night and day from the terrific traffic and noise on Fulton avenue raceway. So far this request has been unrecognized.

Another campaign speaker spoke of the playgrounds and swimming pools which had been erected since Mr. D'Alesandro' be came Mayor so that children could have ample recreation facilities. Why is it the taxpayers of the Sixth district cannot have a play ground in the area of School 48 for the small children who have to play in the streets? Also, why can't we have a swimming pool in this district, in Carroll Park, for instance? pool was put in Patterson Park, where they al ready ihad one. Most of all, the playgrounds and pools were put in East Baltimore, forgetting there is a West Baltimore. The Mayor and Council should remember the people of the Sixth district pay taxes the same as the people of East Baltimore do.

Since these requests were made the voters of the Sixth district helped to re-elect the Mayor and supported his candidates for Council. Speaking for the taxpayers of the Sixth district, I wish to impress on the Mayor and Council that we want their kind attention and action on the above reauests. adie Gregson. Baltimore, June 6. Editor's Note The city has plans for replacing the wading pool in Carroll Park with a swim ming pool.

They are being held up by the Federal restrictions on the use of building materials for recreational projects. Editorial Criticized To the Editor of The Evening Sun Sir: Your editorial of May 25 on the Park Beach Plan was thoughtless. If you, and others who think like you, would take time out and read the Constitution of the United States, you would either agree or go elsewhere. Surely, people who do not abide by the Constitution of our country are enemies of the progress of our country. Please read your United States history, and you will learn that colored soldiers have fought, and died in every battle of our country safeguard its Constitution: they have never been traitors.

People who do not want to use public, tax-supported parks be cause colored Americans are sharing same do not have to go. The policy of the Park Board is caus ing loyal American citizens to hang their heads in shame, and a blot on the name of the Mayor who appointed them and who hap pens to be a member of a minority group. Any person who has racial prejudices should not be appointed on any board of the city. We are Americans, and are here to stay. Those who use their posi tions to discriminate against minority groups because of race, color, creed or foreign birth are GRADUATION SONGSTRESS Carolyn Long, young soprano and a native of Cambridge, will sing at the University of commencement exercises at College Fark tomorrow morning.

Congress will still have to take action on a detailed plan for U.M.T. sometime in the future, and if the international situation should appear temporarily peaceful. Congress might conceivably fail to take final 'action. There is also the grave question of whether the six months of training proposed in the bill will actually provide i uic udMc military education on iu uuuu a gooa reservist. Finally, as Mr.

Mark S. Watson points out in The Sun today, the short period of training assumes a fairly large standing armed force which will give trainees six months or so to be, brought up to combat efficiency in case of an emergency. If we begin again to demobilize our existing units to the extent we did in 1946, there will be legitimate doubts about the six months' training period. But none of these reservations can obscure the tremendous step forward represented by congressional acceptance of U.M.T. For the first time America as a country has faced the fact that in the long run it is wiser and cheaper to have a large reservoir of partially trained men than it is to build to peak strength from scratch when war does come.

And it faces the fact that World War II was probably the last occasion on which we would have that period of grace. Improving Touch At yesterday's afternoon session of the Senatorial committees now hearing the Secretary of State, Senator Wiley followed Senators Brewster and Morse in examining Mr. Dean Acheson. Toward the end of Mr. Wiley's interrogation he put a question that dealt with Chiang Kai-shek's forces on Formosa, the Nationalist guerrillas active in Communist China and official policy on these two forces.

The Secretary of State replied that he found it "a very difficult question to both understand and to answer." The reference was to the phrasing. So Senator Wiley put it a different way. But before doing so he said: Well, it is probably my fault. You have had a long chore here, sir, and have done a grand job for yourself with that mind of yours. Keeping everything in it is a remarkable accomplishment.

Mr. Wiley has been and doubtless remains a hard critic Administration policy in the Far East and of the Secretary of State. But yesterday he took the opportunity to pay Mr. Acheson the compliment quoted above. It is worth noting, becauset represents an attitude which should be encouraged on both sides of any honest debate.

It is the part of intelligence as well as honesty to respect an antagonist, however sharp the controversy, and to recognize his abilities with real admiration even while opposing him. Senator Wiley's little interjection yesterday showed that touch of generosity and courtesy for which any discussion is better. Super Clock The country's fixed up with a Hew clock which is more accurate than the earth's own rotation. That's what they say, anyway. The planet's movement is a sec- ond wrong every year that is, every 31,536,000 seconds.

The new master clock varies less, than a ten-thousandth of a second a day. It's not the kind of thing you hang on your living-room wall, though. The recipe calls for some quartz crystals, 600 electronic tubes and a variety of other ingredients. Wind well and let strike. No doubt it is a horologi-cal dream which should delight the hearts of the punctual.

But of what real use is such an exact timepiece? True, it will establish the criterion to which other clocks will conform or try to conform. But, being inferior, they cannot match the precision of the master. One way or another they will always be "out" and subject to its correction. Of course, we shall now know how much they vary, if it's any good 1 a v. xx xxx x- x-x xx Mllfr MU i X---X-XXXXV GRADUATE NURSES This year's graduating'class at nurses' school of the Church Home and Hospital includes, first row, Patricia V.
