ICAO's recommendations" regard
ing visas, travel documents, and
customs procedures at interna-
tional airports, according to a
statement by Mr.. Warner.
Still another annex-on Aero
dromes, Air Routes and Ground
Aids'-has been submitted in-
formally to governments for COM
ments. It would include plan
for airport approach and runway
lighting, designed to lead a pilot
safely on to a runway through
fog or murk. A reliable system of
approach lighting, together with
electronic aids, would enable air.
liners to fly safely in weather
conditions that now keep them
grounded.
The provisions which came into
force last ! January specify stand
ard aviation practices in rules of
the air, preparation of aeronauti-
cal maps, meteorological codes, and
the licensing of personnel
According to another report to
the ICAO Council, a number of
governments have asked ICAO
for technical assistance in inn
proving their civil aviation SER
vices.

One government has asked
ICAO to send a technical mission
to advise on the setting up of
a civil aviation administration as
part of a detailed, long range
economic development program.
Another has asked aid in develop
ing an overall aviation transport
policy.
A number of under-dcsc,--. Cd
countries, the report points out,
have few roads permitting trans
port of goods from one district
to another. To them air transport
is an important element in gen.
eral plans for economists develop
ment. Faced with an acute short
age of managerial and technical
personnel. they have applied to
ICAO for fellowships for aviation
specialists, for visits by technical
experts in several aviation fields.
and for aid in building airports.
Fellowships have been request
ed, for example, for overseas
training of pilots, aviation me-
chanics, airport safety engineers,
navigators, aviation meteorological
forecasters, air traffic control
specialists, and civil aviation ad-
ministrators.

Beware Mr.. Horris-Beoring Gifts

1t was Representative Oren Harris of Okla
homa who took leading part in the fight two
years ago this spring, to keep the Dirksen Home
Rule bill from coming to a vote on the floor of
the House. Had it come to vote, it probably
would have been passed.
&c. when Mr. Harris himself introduces
home rule BILL as he did the other day, the
observer is put to the task of questioning his
motives. His chief motive probably is prepared
ness. The eventuality suggesting this prepared
ness is that the District Committee may be
discharged by petition of its control over the
pending home rule bill, which has been bottled
up in committee ever since it passed the Senate
last year.
: This discharge petition requires 218 sigma
lures to become effective. The last count showed
a net of about 179 names. There is possibility
that 40 more members may be persuaded to
sign the petition, though that possibility di-
minishes every day. But if the bill were brought
to the House floor it would stand good chance
of passage-and Mr.. Harris does not want that
to happen.
If the petition seems apt to succeed it is
probable that Mr.. Harris would open hearings
before his subcommittee on his own bill That
would take time The hearings would provide
additional argument against completing the
petition And should the debate on home rule
IeaCn Cne uOOT, HARRIS WOulQ DC Ill peLIer
position to oppose it with substitute bill than
with nothing but negative opposition.
AS for the merits of the Harris bill itself
there is something to be said for the election of
a voteless delegate in the House by the people of
the District of Columbia, the election of school
board instead of its appointment by the District
Court, and for reorganization of municipal
government departments But neither this bill
nor the more elaborate elected city council bill,
passed by the Senate and now bottled up in the
House District Committee, offers genuine home
rule for the people of the District.
Representation in Congress-voting repre-
sentation chosen by the ballots of Washing
tonians-is the nearest thing possible in this
Federal city to genuine home rule. That requires
a constitutional amendment. While Mr.. Harris
has joined Senator Nicely in proposing the
appropriate amendment, both proposals lie
dormant in committees and are dead for this
session.

Fifth Amendment

I have been a close follower of the
proceedings of the subcommittee now
conducting hearings in connection with
the charges of Senator Mccarthy.
In this hearing Gas in all similar ones)
well-known Communists have claimed
that immunity is granted them under
the fifth amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, when refusing
to answer as to whether they are or
ever have been Communists or con-
nected with communistic activities.
The relevant parts of the fifth amend
ment reads as follows:
mo person shall be held to answer
for a capital or other Infamous crime
unless on a presentment or indictment
by grand jury. Nor shall he be COM
PEELED in any criminal case to be a
witness against himself, nor be deprived
of life, liberty or property without due
process of law"
AS 7 read the above. it only applies
to those charged with capital or other
infamous crimes, who need not be wit
nesses against themselves. Up to the
present time there is no Federal law
holding one to be criminal because
he is Communist or actively associated
with communistic activities.
Therefore, the refusal of witness to
answer the before mentioned question
always means to me that the person in
question is communistic or connected

Joint Action Against Pollution

The movement toward joint action by
nearby Virginia communities to reduce pollution
of the Potomac River in the Washington Metro
politan Area deserves public encouragement and
support With huge quantities of raw sewage
being dumped into the river every day by Arling
ton and Fairfax Counties and by Alexandria, not
to mention the partly treated sewage from
Washington all the inhabitants along this sec
ton of the Potomac have a common interest in
the problem of cleaning up the river. 1t is pos
sibe that this community of interests might
lead to pooling of financial resources for con-
struction of inter- community treatment facili-
ties
J. Maynard Magruder, one of Arlington's
delegates to the General Assembly, told the Inter-
state Commission on the Potomac River Basin
Evening star., 1950-05-14

that such Joint action was feasible. He urged
that study be made with view to preparing
plans for consideration by the affected jurisdic-
tionS. Fairfax County has taken the lead in
financing a treatment plant and additional
sewers through bond issue. Arlington is badly
in need of another plant. Alexandria has no
treatment system for most of the sewage it
empties into the river. The possibility of having
Arlington and Alexandria join in sewage treat
ment project is worth exploring.
The suggestion even has been made that
areas across the river might pump their sewage
to new treatment plant on the District side.
The District should be ready to cooperate in
any practicable plan, for Washington has much
to gain through the reduction of the sewage
flow from the Virginia shore The Interstate
Commission will have rendered a notable service
to the Metropolitan Area if it succeeds in bring
ing about the sort of effective interjurisdc-
tional cooperation that eventually will make
the Potomac less like the open sewer it resembles
today

Substituting OverpopuIotion?
By Bruce Borton

In the middle of the last century an
English historian. Henry Thomas Buckle.
wrote a statement that was to shock his
contemporaries.
Up to his time history had been writ
ten largely in terms Of famous or no.
torious ndividuals-kings. queens. gen.
erals, popes.
Buckle rejected this formula. Instead.
he began collecting almost innumerable
facts extending over many countries"
These proved to his satisfaction that
given set Of natural forces would produce
the same results anywhere at any time.
His shocking statement was that even
the number Of marriages annually con-
tracted is determined, not by the temper
and wishes of individuals. but by large
general facts over which individuals can
exercise no authority. -.
1T is now known that marriages bear
a fixed relation to the price Of corn 1--WE
call 1t wheaD. In England this
great social and religious institution
(marriage) is not only swayed but is
completely controlled by the price OF
food and the rate Of wages"
In other words, plentiful food and
money produced automatically more
marriages and more population.
Preachers politicians. poets and critics
all howled, but Buckle stuck TO his guns.
Most modern historians know that there
is a great deal Of truth in his position.
In the '30s a Spanish historian and
philosopher, Ortega y GasSet, published
a little book entitled The Revolt OF the
Masses" I often wonder how many Of
our bureaucratic think-masters have
read 1t.
Ortega pointed out that for the IL
centuries preceding 1900 Europe's popu-
lation stood still at around 180 million.
In the single century 1900 1900, the total
leaped to 460 million.
This meant, said Ortega. that great
masses Of people were preserved who. in
earlier times, would have perished from
war. pestilence or famine. This increase
of the masses would continue, he prophe-
sled; power would pass more and more
into their hands They would make and
control q socialiStic world.
Some years ago the Red Cross aban-
doned its relief activities in China. say
ing that nothing permanently construc-
tive could be accomplished until the
problem Of China's overpopulation was
realistically faced.
The United States is now engaged in
making food cheap land money plentiful
in countries all over the world. This is
a high-minded and generous program:
1t should be also humane program.
But further increase Of population in
countries already overpopulated Is not
humane 1t may even become cruelty
self-defeating.
No American politician dares to talk
about this. But 1t should be talked
about. What sorrows may descend upon
some Of these crowded foreign countries
