Local Control Assured

The Interior Departments latest effort to
acquire control Of District Fairgrounds has been
squelched with proper frmness by the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission. Refusing
to accede to the request of Secretary Chapman
that title to playground sites be transferred from
the District Recreation Board to the Interior
Department. the commission has decided to adj
here to its long established policy of conveying
such land to the District. The decision was made
in connection with the assignment of three new
Fairgrounds to District ownership and control.
The commission apparently was no more
impressed with the fallacious arguments of In
terror officials than was District Court Judge
Pine when the issue popped up collaterally in
recent anti-segregation suit. In that case-which
the court dismissed-Judge Pine commented that
the reasoning of the Interior defendants with
respect to playground controD is not convincing"
When he asked Interior attorneys if they wanted
him to make definite ruling on the subject, they
said they did not
After the suit was filed Secretary Chapman
asked the NCPPC to withhold action on any fur
ther playground transactions until the court had
ruled In the case. Meanwhile the Interior De-
partment induced the Justice Department to
resurrect 1948 opinion by the Interior solicitor
holding that the District no longer had valid
claim to playground property because Che said)
troll when the 1912 act creating the Recreation
Board was passed. It was this reasoning" in
brief presented to the court, that Judge Pine
could not follow. It is not surprising that the
Government attorneys decided against pressing
for court ruling on this line of argument.
It is no secret that the sole motive Of the
Interior Department in making claim to play
ground ownership was to pave the way for Sec
retary Chapman'S long -nurtured plans for sweep
ing racial-policy changes But the District Rec
reation Board has demonstrated that it can make
good progress in this controversial field without
help of MIR. Chapman or his staff. This is a prob
lem which best can be solved by local authorities.
The planning commission, by sticking to the
policy established by the Capper- -Cranton Act Of
1924 has assured continued handling of the diff
icult racial question by an agency which has
shown it is well qualified to do so-the District
Recreation Board

must take issue with the philosophy
stated in your May IS editorial, "The
immigration Bill"
After celebrating on the contents Of
the complex McCarran bill and on the
criticisms made by its opponents, you
conclude, 'The legislation as passed is
no more inviolate than any other action
Of the Congress. II its application
proves unsatisfactory or damaging to
American interests, it can be revised by
another Congress. What is good about
it can be kept and what is bad about
it, when demonstrated in its workings,
can be corrected without discarding the
long and tedious job that has now been
done"
It is true, Of course, that government
in democracy must be conducted by
means Of trial and error, and that we
often must correct parts Of legislation
which seemed satisfactory at the time
they were passed, but which later turn
out to have been mistakes.
The necessity for using the trial and
error method, however, does not justify
passing complex and questioned legisla-
ton merely because its preparation was

off-hand manner as II to say. Eyes.
there are parts Of the bill which look
bad now, and will probably turn out
bad in practice. but let's get it out Of
the way now and we can change those
parts next session"
The McCarran bill will affect thou
sands Of people, here and abroad. IF
there is reason to suspect that parts Of
it may work injuriously, as the bills
critics believe, these parts should be
examined by Congress and corrected, If
necessary. noD. not left to be revised
next year or in future years Cor never,
for revision Of bad laws Is difficult to
achieve once those laws are on the
bookS).
The system of trial and error in gov
ernment requires exercise of reason.
When that trial and error is made at
the expense of human beings, even
more judgment is required. Judgment
cannot be exercised hastily or without
consideration of the issues involved
Congress should look to the conse-
quences Of legislation at the time of

Tronsit Radio

It is most regrettable that the Su-
preme Court has upheld the invasion
of ones personal comfort and privacy
by the streetcar radio broadcasts. which
as Justice Frankfurter stated, victim
ize" the listener.
One very important point that ap-
pears to have been overlooked is that
they are against public safety because,
in self defense, the persons on the cars
and buses must develop the habit Of
not listening. Thus an announcement
important to public safety might well
be ignored.
I personally boycott things adver-
tised on Streetcar radio. am SO much
annoyed by it that I will not have
radio of my own at home-and have
absolutely no desire to own one. Enough
is enough.
Fannie Pritchard Ross.
Webster defined music, 1.-THE science
or art of pleasing, expressive or intel
ligible combination of tones" Scarce
are the transferable selections which
have even an essence Of that definition
revealed.
AS for those Irritating commercials,
no refined words can express how people
in general regard them!
If this situation must be wished on
us, may it be music and soft, sweet and
low and not megaphoned into our de-
fenSeless ears. Perhaps some day the
words of Longfellow will be a revelation
that music is the universal language
of mankind" or that it has Charms to
soothe'' rather than being conducive to
making mankind savage.
M. Bache.
Now that transit radio Is legal. why
not rebuild the streetcars and buses,
making them double -deckers? Since the
Supreme Court has ruled that the Tran
sit Co. legally is in the entertainment
business. let the upper deck be devoted
entirely to entertainment, with card
rooms. reading rooms. dancing space
and juke boxes.
To avoid the discontinue of passen-
gers when streetcars fail to get them

Bonn Agreement

Inasmuch as the contractual agree
ment signed at Bonn with West Ger
many is to be pattern for any later
treaty with o unified Germany, it would
seem highly necessary that United
States citizens know exactly what the
provisions are regarding disposition Of
the large tract claimed by Germany in
Antarctica and approve those provisions.
For the Western Hemisphere this
may be as potentially important as
whether or not German soldiers are in
tegrated with Atlantic Pact soldiers at
once. 1t is to be hoped we have not
rushed headlong into a treaty without
careful attention to prewar overseas
territories claimed by the conquered
country. Expediency carried to ex-
tremes may erase all the gain.

Store Thief Loses
Camera He Stole
To Second PurIoiner

Police today charged man with
grand larceny for stealing a camera
from a person who may have
stolen the same camera from a
store last September
Amazed detectives began tracing
the cameras history of illegal
owners when they recognized 1t in
a pawn shop earlier this week.
George Lee Davis. 81, colored, of
the 300 block Of Seventeenth place
NE. had pawned it for So.
It turned out to be the same
camera stolen from a camera
shop in the 2100 block of K street
NV. last September.
But when General Assignment
Squad Sergt. Samuel T. Creech
charged Davis with the theft, the
suspect said he had taken it from
an automobile.
Municipal Court Judge Andrew
Howard set $500 bond on Davis
for the cameras latest change in
ownership and continued the hear
ing until July %.
Now Sergt. Creech believes, he
may have the original thief, if
he can just find the car owner.

Army 10 Discontinue
Subsidized College
Training for Officers
By John A. Giles

Army subsidized college training
for its officers, the largest proper
ton of which is furnished by the
University of Maryland, will be
discontinued.
The recently passed 1858 ap-I
preparations act prohibits such
payments, which have amounted
to so per cent of the tuition costs.
1t also reduced from rs to so per-
cent the portion Of enlisted mems
tuition costs that may be paid
by the Army.
Navy and Air Force programs areI
not affected, since the law
specifically mentions the Army
only. But the Navy said today
its program for training lawyers
will be discontinued after the cur
rent ce-students complete their
study.
Critical of Law Courses.
Fifteen Navy officers are being
taught law at George Washington
and Georgetown Universities.
Members of Congress were criticall
of subsidies for law courses for
officers.
The Army program, part OF it's
overall education program. is Of
fered on or near installations by
about 80 cooperating colleges and
universities.
In addition. overseas programs
are conducted by the University of
Maryland at Sc centers in Europe; /
the University of California, at So
in the Far East, and Louisiana
State University, at six in the
Caribbean area.
About 5000 Army men have
participated in the program, the
majority of them officers. The
Army asked for $4,000 for such
payments, which Congress re-
fused. Those who received vet
erans payments for their education
under the CT bill and ROTC pro-
grams are not affected.
Courses in Off-Duty Time.
The courses are taken in Off
duty time, and the Army said the
objective was to increase ETH
cheney by raising the academic
level of the personnel"
The local effect cannot be de-
termined until Maryland COM
pletes its registration and the
records are surveyed. AS of March
81, 223 were receiving part of
their tuition from the Army
locally. In addition. 129 Army
officers were getting their tuition
from the Veterans Administration,
and 113 were enrolled in group
study classes at no cost.
A total of 234, Air Force officers
and 224 airmen are receiving help II
from one source or another while
attending local universities.
The Potomac River Naval Com
mand reported 204 officers and
500 enlisted personnel are par
ticipating in its college program
locally.
