All Washingtonians, according to bus
drivers, want to get on the first bus.
They simply will not wait, though
there be two behind with empty seats.
No, the impatient Washingtonians
jam onto the first bus, and stand up for
seven miles. rather than wait a few
seconds for another bus and seat.
The passenger, of course. will claim
that if he does that, he will have to
wait Is or 20 minutes, but that, doubt
less, is just another side Of his general
impatience.
The trouble with everybody piling on
the first bus. according to the drivers
way Of looking at things, is that this
makes the first bus carry most Of the
load, and therefore forces its driver to
stop and let people on and off dozens
of times more than the drivers of the
buses just behind. This slows up his
schedule. and gets the followers all out
of kilter. and you can see how that
would be-
In addition. bus drivers are harasSed
by scores of rules and regulations which,
if observed, would slow the running
time up 100 per cent. or more. Nobody
expects them to observe them, but If
they get into an accident. then they
are asked, why didn't you observe
Regulation H-906?"
Templeton Jones looked up at Mr..
Hatton's honest face. and thought:
Well, he has his problems, too just as
the passengeS have. But I wish he
would work OK his field data better.

Now. Jones feels, the driver pretends
not to see him. No doubt the schedule
is too tight.
These are all operational difficulties,
he realizes, looked at from totally diff
ferent viewpoints by the operator, on
one hand, and the dear old passenger
on the other.
Drivers are human beings, too, in
the main very decent fellows, who have
their own problems.
They tend in time to regard the
great general public as a bore (only
they do not express it quite that way)
They have their own outlookS on the

1t would seem to the passenger that
if there were any set of men who ought
to know something about making traffic

Where COMPROMISE Is Unfair

The House passed the District Appropriation
Bill last March g. The Senate passed it more
than a week ago. on June 49, There are differ
ences between the House and Senate versions
of the bill that must be settled by conference
But the bill has not yet gone to conference,
although it's effective date is supposed to be
tomorrow.
No real difficulties in the mechanics of local
government are anticipated as result of the
delay. For if the final version is not agreed to
before tonight a continuing resolution, tackled
on to another BILL will take care of the legalites
of temporarily operating the local Government
without appropriations. The disadvantage to the

stances, is that expediency and time are apt to

Templeton Jones was reading the sign
at the front Of the bus.
"Mr. John Hatton." said the caption,

years. gathers the important field data
for making schedules"
Jones thought to himself Well, we'll,
well! always wondered who it was
who made me miss my bus.
So it was you, John!
It was you who arranged it so that
when pulled in on the Maryland bus
at the terminal, the downtown bus
pulled out Immediately. leaving me and
others standing there.
It was you, John, who conceived the
fine idea Of making transfer passengers
at Porter street walk back half block
and cross two streets to make transfer.
It was you who thought up the bright
idea of giving operators no more time
on the northbound trips than on the
south.
Templeton Jones wondered if Mr..
Hatton had anything to do with the
way drivers wait until you run up to
catch the bus at Thirteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue until you are right
at the door then pull out.
It seems to the would-be passenger
that the driver could wait just q few
seconds longer.
In the old days, when John Hanna
was running the old Capital Traction
Co. (the green cars) motormen would
wait while passenger ran half block.

CUPREME COURT opinions seldom
~ make light summer reading. Their
frequent spriteliness, however. pleases
friends of the Court and sometimes
astonisheS others. It surprises those who
either too stuffy to bother with or too
deep to wade through.
Sayings of the Justices often waste
their pithiness, if not always sweetness,
in the October-to- atmosphere. A
few gems (to mix metaphor after the
fashion of Thomas Gray deserve to be
chipped from legal tones and glisten as
long as they can.
"Just how long is too long?" Justice
jackson asked in an opinion early in the
recent term. That discourages endless
quoting of the Justices. It nevertheless
provides convenient cause for recalling
out-of-conteXt comments. Such an off,
season pursuit proves, If anything, that
judicial sentences need not be punish
ing or ponderous.
AS phrase-coinerS and paragraph
poliShers, members Of the Supreme Court
demonstrated again this year that they
literally know how to employ the last
word. In fact. Justice Frankfurter has
emerged as champion of the forgotten
word and Of the more than one-third Of
the language which generally is ill-used,
unknown or poorly digested.
Followers of the law, literature and
other printed matter hastened to the
dictionary last January when he men
toned "cybernetics." The word remains
mystery to many because it isn't in
many dictionaries. Forsaking the ultra
modern, Justice Frankfurter this month
dug into medieval law and offered
'deodand" to keep scholars on their
toes and set the rest of us on our heels.
Justice Frankfurter, Of course, uttered
some readily grasped expressions such
as:
''Puss = in the corner adjudications"
-. HE is given an equal start in the
race to the courthouse, not a head
start" "These are the only islands
of clarity; otherwise we are at sea" &.
Congress did not write such Hobson's
choice into law" Criminal justice is
concerned with the pathology Of the
body polite" Even judges need not
be blind to the facts of political life"

UnuIurmed by Fluoridution

Fluoridation has been much excori-
ated. The plight Of us non -fluoridators
is realistically similar to q mythical
situation involving American soldiers
described graphically in a pamphlet
found on the magazine rack at South
ern college about 1916. This article
claimed that the death by heart failure
of American soldiers during World War
II was high compared to the rate of
similar fatalities in the Canadian Army.
The cause Of these deaths was
not combat but the American fondness
for milk and its results. Milk. the ar
ticle decried, was a ARCHAEOLOGICAL soup
and a damning influence. Since the
Americans liked milk and consumed it
copiously In contrast to the lesser con-
sumption by the Canadian. milk it was
to be assumed. would soon destroy the
American people.
It is Of interest to note that the pub
lie water supply of the District is now
being "fluoridated" in the modern mode.

Economizers and the Atom

The House has given rough treatment to the
Presidents request for $3.1 billion in supple
mental funds for atomic expansion. The figure
has been cut down to just a little bit more than
$1.1 billion. Since the expansion is to be car
ried out over a period of years. advocates of
the slash have argued that its seriousness is
much more apparent than real, but numerous
expertS-in and out of Congress-have sharply
attacked it as an example of the kind of econo-
MIXING that the Nation can i'll afford in these
days of world danger.
Among the protesting experts are members
of the Joint Senate House Committee on Atomic
Energy. They are much better informed on the
subject than most of their colleagues in Con-
gress and they have unanimously recommended
in favor of the $31 billion that the President
has called for. In their judgment the drastic
cut that has been made if it is finally enacted
will upset the expansion timetable in a way
that could be extremely risky for the security
of the United States. What they fear is that
lack of adequate funds, besides adversely affect
ing special research and production, will slow
down the construction of the new facilities
needed to keep the Nation well ahead of Russia
in the grim nuclear armaments race-a race
that now involves the indescribably deadly
hydrogen bomb.
BY coincidence, news of the House slash has
paid Mr.. Truman by Chairman Gordon Dean of
the Atomic Energy Commission and DR.. J. Rob-
ert Oppenheimer, the celebrated head of the
Aces general advisory committee. Though
guarded in his comment, Dr. Oppenheimer has
left little room for doubt that the visit has had
to do with matters Of very big and excep-
tionally important nature in the field of nuclear
science-"such great developments" that he and
Mr. Dean have felt impeled to report on them
directly to the President" The report itself
remains top secret, but the way in which its
presentation has been announced strongly sug-
geSts that there has been extraordinary new
progress in the fabrication of A-weapons and
perhaps even the H-bomb.
In these circumstances, and In view of the
fact that the joint congressional atomic COM
mittee has unanimously recommended against
it, the House cut seems to be thing of de-
cidedly doubtful wisdom If our country has
scored fresh advances in nuclear science every
effort should be made to exploit those advances
to the full, without delay. What we have got
to remember is that we have no monopoly on
progress in this portentous enterprise. The Rus
slams are moving ahead, too, and we can be
sure that they are engaged in an all-out attempt
not only to catch up with us but to take the
lead Clearly there should be no careless or
whimsical economizing here; it could be the
worst kind of folly.

Nobody Can Win

Nobody will be the winner If there is
transit strike in Washington. story in yes
terdayS Star contained additional evidence of
the truth of the general thesis that everybody
especially the public-loSes in such an semer-
gency. The story told of what happened when
Baltimore was crippled by a public transporta-
ton strike last January. The company the
union, riders and merchants shared the adverse
effects of the 19-day transit paralysis.
There is no reason to believe that the
results of strike would be any different here
Yet there is open talk of a strike, with each
side blaming the other for an impaSse in nego-
tlationS and with District officials preparing to
put special parking and traffic rules into opera
ton if the blow should come overnight.
What makes the strike threat particularly
tnexcusable is the fact that the Capital Transit
Company and the Amalgamated Association of
Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach En-
ployes of America (AFL) are reported to be in
agreement on major provisions of new contract
Two collateral points are said to be keeping the
parties from complete agreement. One is the
reported determination of the company to con-
dition any agreement for higher wages on
prompt action by the Public Utilities Commits
sion to increase fares The other is the proposal
by the union that the dispute be submitted to
an arbitration board
The riding public is apt to share the unions
dim view of conditional contract. If the COM
pany were to insist on hinging a wage hike to
a rate increase, the indirect effect would be to
hold club over the PUG in its current consid-
Grafton of the pending fare-raise petition. The
PUG should not be subjected to the threat of
an ultimatum from either side-even indirectly
Rate making should be done carefully and OBJ
jectively. On the other hand, there is some
justification for the companys impatience with
past delays of the PUG in acting on fare petit
tionS. The last fare increase was granted five
months after filing of the application It should
be possible to hold hearings, make studies and
hand down decision in the present case in less
than half of that time. If the company's state
ments as to declining revenues are accurate,
the outlook is for some action by the PUG to
increase earnings. No club will be required to
bring fair decision, based on the facts.
The company opposes arbitration of any
new issues. The Star believes however, that
impartial arbitration, as final resort, cannot
logically be rejected by either side when an en-
tire city and the Federal Government itself are
threatened with ruinouS tieup of the transit
system. The public welfare must come first in
such crisis.
