Governors1 Meeting Is Useful
|N the |wst 12 years, the annual ifovernors’ conference and ■
* the permanent organization behind it have risen in stature |
until they now contribute markedly to the growth of respon-
sible government in America.
As was shown in the 42nd meetinR just concluded at |
White Sulphur Springs. W. Va., the governors’ conference is
no mere social assembly highlighted by a few speeches from
top national figures.
Around four-fifths of the nation’s governors appear each
year. They wade eagerly into a fat agenda of problems
common to most of the states. Carefully conceived solutions
are offered and discussed.
Most important, the governors meet each other, gel on
a first-name basis, talk over their mutual difficulties infor-
mally in hotel lobbies and dining rooms. Their work is
earnest, and largely above politics.
• * *
WITH the ice thus broken, the governors find it easy when
they return home to pick up the telephone and call one
another to confer on some government wrinkle that may
develop.
This is not to say, of course, that no political overtones
creep into the conferences. Quite the reverse: they have
become effective sounding boards for governors eyeing the
presidency. And the extensive press coverage gives the na-
tion a yearly chance to see how particular governors stack
up against their colleagues as presidential timlier.
While politics is naturally incidental to conference pur-
|Kise. that by-product aspect affords the people some useful
clues when they start measuring candidates.

f|THE situation in Korea looks
-I- bad, especially for the South
Koreans, and not too good for us.
As an arm chair strategist, my
thinking Is that the Commies
have Jockeyed us Into corner
where we must either come out
fighting or admit our foreign re-
lations policy looks good on pa-
per. but . . .
What I cannot quite under-
stand is when John Foster Dulles
felt it necessary to reassure the
infant republic of 8outh Korea
of our undying devotion and pro-
tection why the necessary in-
gredients to bake such a cake
weren't immediately delivered. It
couldn't have been such a "sur-
prise assault” as is indicated by
the news. When I see a fellow
oiling up his gun. I can assume
he Is preventing rust, but when
he throws five shells in the
chamber. I should know he in-
tends to shoot, and be governed
accordingly.
We will soon know If the united
nations is good for anything or
if it is another tub without any
bottom. I keep recalling what
happened to Ethiopia, and the
mewling, parsimonious way we
handled the Chinese fiasco, and
wondering if in all the United
States there is not one who is
smart enough to spend a lot of
money where it will do some good
and get us off this "too-little-
and-too-lale" platform
We have more of everything
than has any other nation. Our
people are all educated. How it
is possible for us not to know
everything that goes on around
the world is a mystery to me, but
we keep getting caught looking
out the window and then yelling
"Surprise, surprise." It seems lo
me we count the cost in dollars
and pay (or tt with men.

Airforce Public Relations
Stunts Will Be Toned Down
WASHINGTON. June 27— (NEAi
*' —Recent changes in Its high
command will give the air force a
new kind of personality as far as
congress and the public arc con-
cerned And there will probably be
some changes In policy inside, al-
though these are more difficult to
predict.
Here's the way the pentagon ex-
perts size It up:
Air Chief of Staff General Hoyt
Viuidenberg will come in for a
fuller partnership on top policy. Al-
ready the office of air force public
relations hus been taken out from
under the secretary and put under
him. New Secretary Tom Flnietter
will still have a voice In public re-
lations but he won't be running
the whole show, the way it was
under former Secretary Stu Sym-
ington.
The effect will be fewer spectac-
ular public relations stunts and less
spotlight on the secretary. Finlet-
ter, who shuns personal publicity
and any display of flamboyancy,
wants It that way. The same will
be true of the air force's relations
with congress. Its lobbying will be
toned down considerably and less
pressure will be applied to individ-
ual key members on the appropri-
ations and armed forces committee.

The British are working on a new
gadget which is expected to aid the
escape of persons trapped inside the
cabin of a crashed plane. It's a
telescoped pole with a charge of
dynamite fixed In one end. Pur-
pose is to blast a hole In the side
of the plane as an escape hatch.
Since they've been building pass-
enger planes with pressurized cabins
for flying in the high altitudes, the
sides of the planes have had to be
built very thick. This thickness
makes a crashed and burning plane
an Inescapable trap. If the gadget
proves effective for this purpose it
will be made standard safety equip-
ment on all planes.

nURAL counties will be the chief
D benefactors of the new housing
law which permits veterans to bor-
row money for a new house direct-
ly from the government, when they
can't get a loan from private
agencies. Veterans administration
attorneys have ruled that the $150,-
000.000 which was appropriated for
this program will be divided on a
county basis. Of course, counties
which have plenty of private lend-
ing firms already doing business
