The PubIic's Right to Information

The District Commissioners have made
proper distinction between confidential and
publishable information in their order opening
some of their meetings to the press. In con-
Quoting the public's business there are certain
personnel and other administrative matters which
should be discussed behind closed doors But,
as General Gordon Young pointed out in
memorandum, the public should not be shut off
from sessions at which broad questions of policy
are discussed and decided.
General Young gave as examples of business
that should be conducted in executive session
the selection of personnel for promotion or de-
motion, settlement of personnel or departmental
disputes, consideration of employees complaints
and similar problems of administration It is
standard practice among public agencies to
handle such matters out of public view, usually
through city managers or other administrative
officials However, when the Commissioners sit
as city council to fix tax rates, to draft laws
and ordinances, to receive citizens petitions or
to hear their complaints, there is no justification
for excluding the press. This is public business
which the press and radio reporters have both
the right and the duty to cover The Commits
sioners have instituted a long-overdue reform

Honors for Msqr. Sheen

The new honors which have come to
Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen have been earned
He has been tireless worker in his field since
he was ordained in 1919 Today he is without
question a leading advocate of his church
He attacks error like prophet of old. but his
methods and his mediums are modern to the
last detail. He has reached into uncounted
millions of homes and he has been welcome
guest in vast majority of them. His "fan mail"
runs into thousands Of letters a day. p
Not Catholicism only has benefited from
Monsignor Sheen's labors. He has made it
difficult, if not positively dangerous, to attack
religion of any variety. The Communists never
fooled him for a moment. More than decade
ago he branded Russia the enemy of the
world" Some of the most eminent of his con-
yerts were Reds until he argued them into
saner point of view. The logic of Christianity
as he expounds it, sweeps the romantic dognas
of Karl Marx into the everlasting dustbin.
Washington regards Monsignor Sheen as
neighbor. Much of his activity has centered
here at Catholic University At 56 he still is
young and full of fire. If his elevation to the
status of a bishop and his appointment as
Auxiliary to Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of
New York, enlarge his opportunities and add to
his facilities of achievement the wide circle of
his friends and admirers will rejoice They
applaud the recognition which has been accorded
him.

Meaning of Aging

The Associated Press prefaces some
remarks of the celebrated Dr. Barnes,
Bishop of Birmingham, England, by
terming him aging" In its second
paragraph, this news agency tells us
that Dr. Barnes is not only aging but
he is aged It says specifically that he
is II years old.
Now, each of us is aging. including
day-old infants and the Associated Press.
But what is often intended by aging"
is that the subject. if it be human
one, is approaching either senility or
state in which he is not what he used
to be.
Would the Associated Press have us
believe that only doddering, or partly
dotty man would speak the views
credited to Bishop Barnes? Or does it
wish to convey that we should not pay
too much attention to these views since
they are the product Of an aging, IT.
year-old gentleman?
Time was when 77-year- old bishops
were thought to be possessed of mel
low wisdom unknown to 30-year-old
curates or even 40-year-old reporters.
1t so happens that DR.. Barnes, 'aging"
or not. has one of the livelieSt minds in
England. He has been something of a
hair shirt to the dogmatic and the ortho-
dox, ancient minded opponents of prog
ress and change. But to some at least
he is wise, watchful and faithful

A Dispute the Reds Will Exploit

Seth W. Richardson head of the SubverSlve
Activities Control Board, has described as ian
unfortunate misunderstanding" the controversy
which has interrupted the important hearings
on the Communist Party's foreign ties. That is
an understatement of the situation. For the fact
is that the Communists are not apt to let the
dispute remain in the category of just mis-
understanding between members OF the panel
hearing the case They will lose no opportunity
to exploit the development for their own purposes
and one of their chief purposes is to discredlt
the proceedings which have been Instituted
against them under the McCarran Act. Tney
may be expected to take fullest advantage OF the
situation, even though the misunderstanding Is
patched up, as Mr.. Richardson predicts it Will be-
The trouble arose during cross-examnat1on
of a Government witness by attorneys for the
Communist Party. The chairman OF the panel,
Charles M Lafollette, suddenly recessed the hear
ing with an announcement that he was stepping
down as chairman in favor Of Peter Campbell
Brown, fellow panel member He charged
Government prosecutor with showing "disdain"
for him and, in effect, accused Mr.. Brown OF
showing partiality for the Government Those
are serious allegations. That the Communist
PARTY will make the most of them cannot be
doubted Certainly basis has been laid for
Communist challenge as to the competency OF
Mr. Brown to sit in judgment on the party.
Under the circumstances, the entire board
may find it advisable to take over the hearing,
which has barely begun But complicating
factor in the whole affair is that none OF the five
members of the board has been confirmed by
the Senate. They are serving under recess ap-
pointments Their names were sent again to
the Senate last February, but the Senate Judicl-
ary Committee has not acted on any OF them.
If any or all OF them should be rejected, the
situation would be further confused. The present
controversy may have considerable bearing on
the outcome of deliberations over confirmation.
In view of what has happened, it might
have been better if the board, pending Senate
action on the appointments, had assigned a
hearing examiner to conduct the caSe at least
in its early stages. Such procedure is specifi-
cally authorized in the Subversive Activities Con-
troll Act 1t might even now be wise to start
over again under this plan, pending Senate action
on the board. Certainly the present regrettable
impasse in the hearing should not be allowed to
drag along indefnitely-to the benefit and doubt
less the delight of the Communists.

bases in fear and greed, not to mention the

Potomac Bridge BottIenecks

The need for additional bridges over the
Potomac River is clearly shown by the traffic
studies just reported by District highway plan
ners The number of vehicles using the new
Fourteenth street bridge has increased As per
cent since its opening a year ago.. The total
traffic across the river has risen about Is per
cent during the past year, and the trend Is still
upward
. While the survey showed small declines in
traffic on both the Memorial and Key bridges,
these were more than offset by the big increase
in use of the two Fourteenth street spans A lot
of the cars which formerly used the Memorial
and Key bridges en- route to and from Arlington
and Fairfax Counties now use the Fourteenth
street bridges Both the Memorial and Key
bridges are still badly congested especially dur
ing the morning and evening rush hours. An
other factor that has led many motorists to avoid
the Memorial bridge has been the rough condition
OF the granite-bock surface there. Fortunately,
steps are being taken to lay an asphalt coating
over the undulating blocks. When that is done
there is sure to be an increase in the number
of cars crossing this structure.
Because of emergency conditions there
to be little likelihood that any new bridges
will be built across the Potomac in the near
future. But the time is at hand to begin serious
planning of new crossings, not only in the vicinity
of Alexandria, where the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission favors bypass bridge
for North-south traffic, but at one or more
points between the Highway and Chain bridges.
AS the amount of traffic over the present bridges
grows with the city's expansion, the need for
relieving bottleneck conditions at the crossings
will become more urgent. Proper attention has
been given to the AnacoStia River problem of late.
The emphasis now should be directed to solution
OF Potomac bridge problems.
