6 BROOKLYN EAGLE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1954 Germany as a NATO Partner Might Solve Defense Wrangle While the free world is flushed with success and gratification over its accomplishments at Manila where an Asian mutual defense pact was signed, the puzzling European problem looms larger than ever. The question of a unified defense plan embracing the Western continental nations is floundering in a moirt-s 01 politics and di-i-enMon. A nine-power conference lias been for tTie near future but whether suih a helpful step will transpire early enough to be fully effective is problematical. Time is working the potential partners and areas of disagreement widen as the separate discussions continue. A major stumbling block is France which rejected the European Defense Community plan due to two factors.

Public sentiment against the rearming of Western Ormany and the failure of Premier Mamies-France to make any specific recommendation he tosed I lie in'o the Ip of the National The i rux n( the nidt'er lies in the obvious neel of including a rearmed Ormany the co-operative defence effoH. But in formula i larking. Forf-1511 Secre'ry Anthonv Erien of Great Brnam is currently on a minion to explore new approaches Meanwhile, the impatience of United States diplomats is understandable since they, more than anyone el-e. are conscious of the tiig-nr in the la-k of tightening the safeguard agam-t new Communist aggression airoad. I nforttinatelv this country is ra-t in the role of bystander in a European prcblem.

It can persuade hut not dominate the collective thinklnz of her allies It would he a grave mistake if we attempted to force our will on aiv of the dissidents. The net effort would be to increase antagonism. It ma 'here can be no revival of the EDC proposal or even something similar. But at least it should be possible to proceed with the rearming of Germany and accept her as a partner in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a proposal highly satisfactory to American officials. The rearming of Germany is inevitable as is her acceptance as a nation.

But there is much 10 be said for avoidance of emphasis on a resurgence of nationalism in view of the still vivid memory of days when Miller's Germany menaced the world. As a working partner in a tight pact some controls could be exercised. France should appreciate this fact and go along with a sensible compromise. An abstaining policy would not only heighten the Red threat to France but work against the interests of all concerned. UNHANDY MAN Br EIXiAR A.

RAY TUCKER'S COLUMN Tulsa Overturned Traditions To Take Over a Museum While Ray Tucker has been on vacation there have been guest columns by prominent newspaper editors, the last of which follows' Today's column it by Marshall L. Smith, editorial writer for the Tulsa World (Okla.) and the oldest active newspaperman in Oklahoma, Mr. Tucker resumes his own column on Monday.

By MARSHALL L. SMITH Traditionally, there should not be excitement about a museum of lively proceedings in a bond issue. Also, a museum is supposed to have ancient airs, musty formality, and is presumably dedicated to antiquarians, ethnologists, students Itinerant savants. Precedence long has been given to extinct nations, vanished peoples. Tulsa overturned the traditions and went American in a big way when it voted recently a bond issue of $2,250,000 for museum purposes, not to build for a group or for specialists, but to tako over a museum already going and popular.

Most of the circumstances were unusual. This museum had been built by the Thomas Gllcrease Foundation on a high hill just outside the city and had for several years been open to the public without charge. There persisted until recently the Impression that It was exclusively an Indian institution, but it turned out to be vesatlle, modern in many respects and catholic in appeal. The museum is In Osage County, coextensive with the Osage Reservation, probably the only Indian reservation running into large city. Settlement of West Htreiaed The founder wa Thomas Gllcrease, himself part.

Indian, who had been an Independent oil producer. The location was in Blackdog Township, only a little way from where there were three Indian tribes which existed up to Statehood, 1007. The museum Aid start with Indian but It soon outgrew that concept. It carried a vast collection of Indian pictures, history and utensils, and It ha a regular art gallery, with original painting and notable American works of art. Its specialties are Indian ways and the settlement of the West The museum represents an investment of from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000.

In its gallerle are pictures by Remington, Winslow, Russell and other eminent painters of Western scenes. A conspicuous item Is the original Audubon wild turkey. White and Indian leader are impartially shown throughout, and much of the history of settlement i depicted; there are many battle, travel and household scene. Also numerous historical document from Columbus on down and a number of first editions of historic value. The history of the five civilized tribes Cherokee.

Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole is brought out In many details, and there is much concerning the Osages and the blanket tribes of the West There are painting Illustrating tragic, pathetic and humorous episodes In Western life a century age and since. Fonader failed for Aid Gllcrease, who traveled much and bought art and history in volume, got a little over his head; trying to get fine and costly thing at hat he considered last opportunities, ht got behind more thari S2.000.000 and called for help. The universities of Oklahoma, Texas and North Carolina made tentative bids for taking over the museum; Oklahoma, through Gov. Johnston Murray (also part Indian), intervened in behalf of the State to prevent removal of any of the museum's treasures to any other State. Various expedients were suggested, but soon there came a volunteer "Save the Museum" movement In Tulsa.

This group raised $10,000 to pay campaign expenses and got the Issue submitted; It was carried nearly three to one. Gilcrease turned over to the city the proceeds from several oil-producing properties to provide for maintenance of the museum, which la in charge of the Tulsa Park Board. The city pays 1 a year on the lease. The mueum came to the public a a chic enterprise, a matter of pride, a center of scholastic and general Interest, a tourist attraction and a distinction for the State. The location was appropriate on account of the numerous Indian features.

The people took over the" museum tradition, modernity, eth nology, art, vivid history and all. WE'VE SURE ENJOYED HIS VACATION Letters to the Editor of the Eagle GRIN AND BEAR IT By lichty So much so that even in the military the trend seemed to be away from the traditional respect for tho-e In higher authority. The first "curse" should be eliminated by re-education of mothers on the relative values of restraint and "non-frustration." Progressive ideas are to be favored hut the elimination of restraint for the promotion of uncontrolled "non-frustration" ha exacted a high price In ultimate delinquency and crime. The second "curse," "free wheeling progressive education," Is in a parallel category. In fact the two go hand in hand.

There must be a middle course which secures the hleslngs of proper restraint and guided self-expression. The respect for and not fear of the police should be brought to a proper lex el. This I necessary to combat the delinquent and criminal element In the current growing generation and to prevent a further Deterioration in the future. It ha been with amazement that we have watched this cancerous growth of delinquency and lawlefness a it has been disgusting to ee tho-e In high place permit thi. condign to develop.

Progressiva Education lomee for Dslinquoncy To the Editor of the Eagle: This appraisal of current conditions of delinquency and crime may seem an oversimplification of their causes and remedies bui 10 anyone who has cared to observe the trend certain events are significant. Some 20 years ago child successfully advocated the policy of greater freedom of expression for infant and small children less restraint to avert "frustration." Mothers fiercely adopted and maintained this policy. This was the beginning the first "curse" on a new generation.

"Progressive Education" quickly followed. This fur-thered freedom of expression and reduction of restraint and a lack of respect for proper authoritythe second "curse" on a new generation. Commenced In the administration In New York City and continued thereafter, the police 'were not only restrained by curtailing the ue of night slicks and the ue of other proper force to maintain order, but their effectiveness, so far as the youth were concerned, was complete-Iv discouraged by the administrations, certain courts, and the The ensuing war with Its dl-regard for the value of human life contributed to the condition which were to develop. Reader Finds Merit In the Swedish Man To the Editor of the Eagle: 1 fell in love with the true American democracy so beautifully evident in the old Dow East schooners on which I sailed, starting back in 1910. Now, when retired on a very skimpy railroad pension with rent and commodities sky h.gh.

It does not look so enticing. A few years ago, 1 had some newspaper clipping about the medical and social security system of little Sweden. I handed them around among some fellow workers, and, unfortunately, never got them back. It would prove Instructive for our lawmakers to fke a trip over there and study the subject. Of course, any improvements on these lines would be fiercely.fought by the medical society.

Those gentlemen have no earthly use for the poor saps that.F. D. R. called "the third of a nation." ANDREW E. HELIESSON.

Urges Mora Emphasis On Religion, Literature To the Editor of the Eagle: The case of the four boys who killed for a thrill points up above everything else the need of tightening parental responsibility.
