Area Traffic PIonnind

further encouraging sign that officials of
the component political parts of the METROPOLITAN
Area are thinking in terms of the common good
Is manifest in the formation of a permanent
committee to ease the areas overall traffic
headache
Organization of the committee is a result
Of the Governors and Commissioners Confer
ence on Greater Washington Traffic Problems,
held here two months ago. The plans for a
permanent traffic study group for the area was
adopted at that time.
Representatives Of the District, its four
neighboring counties and the Cities of Alexandria
and Falls Church have named District Engineer
commissioner Bernard L. Robinson committee
chairman. General Robinsons appointment
promises to be sound choice. He has not only
taken the lead in planning for more efficient
local government, but stands in the forefront
OF those conscious of the fact that maximum
orderly development of the Metropolitan Area
can be achieved only through full cooperation
Of its separate communities.
Stated goal of the new committee is to
coordinate the traffic policies of the city and
county governments participating. This, accord
Ing to General Robinson would certainly mean
uniform traffic safety education program for
the area. Law enforcement and traffic regula-
uonS must be considered in the light of area
welfare. Likewise, the inadequacy of highway
and parking facilities should appear on future
agenda, along with the overall problem of
traffic congestion.
The committee has also set its sights on
another important target-citizen participation
This would involve setting up a citizens group
comparable to the Districts own successful
Traffic Advisory Board
Chairman Robinson, speaking cautiously of
his new committees prospects for success quotes
the saw: "The proof will be in the pudding"
The first business session of the committee in
Montgomery County in November will be closely
watched to see if the pudding" is getting firm

Red Dean
III. Il. Nj.

Although it may not be possible to
try Dean johnson of Canterbury for
treason. there is no reason why he
could not be tried for heresy. Heresy
trials in the Church of England must
be prosecuted in secular courts For this
purpose the English state only recog-
nizes as heresy denial of the dogmatic
teaching of the first four general coun-
ellis of the undivided primitive Christian
Church. Even under this minimum
standard it is self-evident that the Red
Dean is neretic. An atheist cannot
hold the Nicene Greed or other dogmatic
statements defined by these councils; a
man, therefore, who breaches co-opera-
ton with atheists in the name of reli-
gion repudiates the anathemas pro-
nounced by these councils upon those
who reject their teaching
Only one thing stands in the way of
bringing DR.. johnson to trial. Those
authorities of the Church of England
who have the power of bringing charges
against him are committed to the ideal
of wide and roomy church in which
even Reds have the right of free speech;
they are, accordingly, reluctant to act in
a way that could start trend to more
primitive ideal of Christian authority.
These authorities are appointed for
political reasons, hence the official po-
sition of this church is not necessarily
held by the actual membership of the
same; about half of which are Anglo
Catholics, loyal to the very conservative
high-church principles of the Trac-
tartan movement of the 10th century.

Another possible approach would be to
secure an appropriation of about $780,
600 to furnish salaries for lit teachers
for Division 2. and thus bring it's pupil
teacher ratios to the levels prescribed
by board standards-levels not only
reached but surpassed by Division /. In
February, the authorities tried to get a
supplemental appropriation for 66 sal
aries for this purpose. They couldn't even
clear that proposal through the Com
missioners. Even more difficult to
achieve would be the third possible So
luton: to secure funds-about $780,
O00-for the salaries of the 357 teachers
needed in Division 2 if it is to enjoy the
same pupil-teacher ratios which OBJ
tanned in Division on October 10, 1851.
Under the segregated system now in
operation, the fourth-and most eff
fective-remedy would be to transfer
from Division teachers or salaries for
So senior high school, SIS junior high
school and So elementary school (grades
1-6) positions, total of 1866. This would
not only equalize pupil-teacher ratios,
as desired by the House of Representa-
tives Appropriations Committee, but
would comply substantially with the
board of standards at the junior high
and elementary school levels and ap-
proximate sound professional standards
in all senior high schools.

Spain HoggIes

No one should be greatly surprised at the
indications that Spain is trying to drive hard
bargain in the current negotiations for American
use of Spanish air and naval bases.
For years we adhered in the United Nations
to the left-wing line that Spain was one OF
the untouchables among the countries OF the
world. We would have nothing to do with her.
Then, when it became evident even to the least
far-seeing of our statesmen that Spain might be
important to us in a Communist-threatened
world, we were grudging and ungracious In the
overtures that finally were made.
If this past attitude of hostility is responsible
for the current GOODNESS on Spain's part, those
Americans who fed the mood of the down-With-
Franco period should be the last to complain.
And if they do complain no attention should be
paid to them
The chances are however, that past sights
have little If anything to do with the seeming
unwillingness of the Spanish government to come
to terms with us. Generalissimo Franco and his
aides are practical men, and it is reasonable to
suppose that they are interested in practical
things Chief among these, from their point
of view, is the fact that Spain remains excluded
from NATO and from a share in the dollars
going into Europe through the Mutual Security
program.
The Spaniards take the position that If we
want them to assume the risks of military colabo-
ration, they are at least entitIeo W NC ueateu
on terms of equality with nations receiving
American aid for doing no more, and in some
cases for doing less, than Spain is asked to do.
There is nothing unreasonable, nor should
there be anything surprising, in this attitude.
We should accept the demand for quid pro quo
as being one of the facts of international life,
and we should not get emotional about it, If
we can deal with Yugoslavias Tito we can deal
with Spain's Franco. Our policy should be to
decide exactly what we want from Spain, how
much it is worth to us, and then be prepared to
pay that price and no more.

United States and U.S.S.R. were offered

seems to me that such conduct and mu-

road to establishing real friendship and
understanding between the American and
Russian peoples It goes much deeper
than Truman doctrine, Atlantic pact,

our people and the Russians, which was
amply proven by the contact and
friendly relationship with the athletes
at the Olympic Games, similar contest

arranged between the Russians and
Americans either on neutral ground, on
our own soil or even in Russia, a meet

establishing real friendship between our

generally much smaller than those used
in the United States?-P. E.
A. Europe has specialized in small cars
largely because motor fuel is expensive
there. In the United States petroleum
deposits are abundant and with the

speedier and more glamorous. Typical
car-miles per gallon in this country are
