distinction. Born and reared in Washington, he
understood the peculiar problems of this city,

His comprehension of the social and cultural
character of the community was improved by
his work as newspaperman. Later, while still
young he had the advantage of close association
with his father -in-law, William Gibbs McAdoo,

bar began In California, but was centered in

Dear Sir:
What do you think of planting grass

II have heard that fall is the best
time to renew a lawn in Washington,
but do not know whether it would be
so over here.
Where I come from, in the States,

1t, what seed to use, and subsequent
treatment.
Sincerely. D. L."
There is no question that in this
vicinity, including nearby Maryland and
Virginia, the best time to plant grass
seed is autumn.
Not only is this due to comparative
mildness, with good sunshine and plenty
OF rain. in the usual season. (This is not
usual.)
There actually seems to be some
quality in the air that helps the grass
grow at this time.
AS strange as this may seem, it prob
ably is fact, but even if it isn't it
makes little difference; the main thing
is that grass seed terminates we'll and
grows Justify here in the fall.

Any good mixture, with plenty of blue
grass in 1t, will serve.

is good, along this line. and sell reason

Young Mons World?

We seem to be developing something
of an Iron Curtain Of our own wherein
people over 35 or 40 years are being
denied employment in many business
establishments, regardless Of their ex-
perience, capabilities and efficiency. In
fact. many Of the advertisements for
help wanted contain some provision
that person is not to be over a
certain age. It makes one wonder If
employers prefer pretty young girls to
look at. or maybe do not realize how
much more and better work might be
done by an older person who is more
likely to stick to the job and be con-
scientiously concerned about getting
the work out.
1t is really an unfair situation for
these people in view of the fact that
statistics have shown that a person is
at the height OF his ability to perform
the work for which he was trained
when between the ages of 40 and so,
especially because of the experience
he has acquired over the years and the
knowledge he has developed of the
fine points of his work. Also, a person
of that age is usually more conscientious
and is more likely to be willing to stay
after hours occasionally to advance the
interests Of his employer.
At time when we are trying to
get people to overcome the feeling Of
discrimination on account of race, creed
or color. it Is hard to understand how
age discrimination has developed in
such a big way.
What are people between 40 and so
expected to do?

Progress on an Important Highway

Maryland's selection of q route through
Montgomery County for the new Washington
National Pike, also known as the Northwest Free
way, clears the way for completion of a highway
project of great Importance to the District the
Federal Government and Virginia. The four lane
expressway from Frederick to Washington will
provide fine new approach to the Capital from
the west and north, will link Washington
with vital defense installations near Frederick
and will stimulate planning for a new Potomac
River bridge to carry the highway to a junction
with the Shirley Highway in Virginia.
A seven-mile unit of the pike already has
been almost completed near Frederick, generally
parallel to Route 240, which now is the principal
highway between Frederick and Washington
Construction of another section from Urbana to
HyattStoWn is progressing Delay in acquiring
rghtS-of-way for the remainder of the route had
been occaSioned by controversy over location of
the road in Montgomery County. The State
Roads Commission now has decided to split the
road south of Rockville so that traffic will feed
smoothly into q number of main approaches to
Washington One fork will lead into Macarthur
Boulevard near Cabin John Bridge and the other
fork will connect with Wisconsin and Connect-
cut avenues and the East-West Highway. The
State plans to build about rs miles of new high
way in the Washington Metropolitan Area as
PdAt Vi GAc pIOJcSt.
The route chosen is essentially the same as
that outlined in the National Capital Park and
Planning Commissions so-called master plan for
development of the Metropolitan Area. A chart
prepared by the commission and published in the
latest regional thoroughfare plan for Washing
ton envisions extension of the Northwest Free
way across the Potomac River at Cabin John
and thence to Shirley Highway in the Franconia
area. The Virginia stretch would form link In
belt highway encircling the District of Colum-
bia and providing bypass opportunities for
traffic seeking to avoid the congestion of down.
town Washington bridge across the river at
Alexandria would carry the belt highway to the
present Fort Drive in the District and also to a
proposed outer road curving northward across
Prince Georges County and back into Montgom-
cry County, where it would rejoin the Northwest
Freeway.
All of this, of course, is very long range
program, as far as the bridges, the Virginia ex-
tension and the belt highway links are concerned.
Determination of the specific route of the free
way to the District line brings the dream bit
closer, however, for it makes possible more
definite planning of the corollary parts of the
program. This planning should proceed, regard

1t seems to me, after almost II years

and their employees had better get on
the ball and provide decent service for
cash customers.
Washington has been booming for
nearly 20 years. During the war the alibi
for lack Of service and incompetence
was manpower shortage and inexperi-
ence. But since the war that has not
changed. Let me cite few examples:

sonal matters while I waited to buy. I
finally got action by believing for serv-

Blow to Advisory Commissions

PRESIDENT Trumans abandonment of his pro-
poSal for special commission on internal
security and individual rights" was a logical
step, in the wake of congressional failure to
exempt members of such a body from the So
called confict-of-interests law It was but nat
ural that Admiral Nimitz and the other ap-
polntees to the commission refused to serve if
ther temporary mission were to cut them off
from having business relations with the Gov
ernment for two years after their job was done
1t Is not so much what has happened to the
Nimitz Commission that should be of public
concern-it is what effect the Nimitz case will
nave on other citizens sought for similar tenn
porary Federal assignments
Had the policy which majority of the Senate
Judiciary Committee adopted with regard to
the Nmltz Commission nominees been in effect
when the Hoover Commission was appointed
there might have been no Hoover Commission
or, at least, none of such wide and distinguished
membership. Congress readily exempted Her
bert Hoover and his commission associates from
the conf1ict-of-interes act, just as it has
exempted other temporary appointees in the
past. But Chairman McCarran and number
of his fellow members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee baked at extending similar cour-
tesies to Admiral Nirnitz and other outstanding
citizens named to study the Government 10y
its Improvement Although the committee never
gave any reason for this discriminatory atti-
tude, it apparently resulted from belief that
the commission would be in competition with
the McCarran groups own inquiry along the
same lines Actually, an objective inquiry by
such bipartisan, unbiased commission as
that chosen by the President might have been
helpful in strengthening internal security and,
at the same time, reconciling screening pro-
cedures with individual rights under the Con-
stitution. Mr.-Truman was not justified, how
ever, in implying-aS he did In his letter to
Admiral Nirnitz-that Congress is not as con-
cerned as he is with this problem AS a matter
of fact, the House passed the exemption legis-
lation promptly and the Senate probably would
have done likewise had the bill ever reached the
floor.
Unless Congress makes it plain at the next
session that 1t favors, as general policy, ex-
empting members of temporary commissions
from the ordinarily sound restraints of the con-
1ict-of-interests law the President is going to
have hard time inducing citizens to serve on
future advisory commissions.
