Testimony Of scientists before A con-

the question of fluoridation of District

With this testimony, however we'll

has been given for every crank and
crackpot to take up the battle against

Eye Injuries From BIB Guns
Parent.

The D. c. Society for the Prevention
OF Blindness welcomes any remedy which
may cut down the increasing number of
eye injuries from BIB guns, but we feel
that no one remedy can be effective.
We. therefore, consider it unfortunate
that The Star account Of our recent con-
ference on BIB guns emphasized the least
numerically important of the possible
ways to prevent such eye injuries.
The conference members learned that
while BIB gun eye injuries were not
numerically enormous each represented
q preventable accident as well as per-
Sonal tragedy. A prominent ophthal-
mologist informed US that an eye punc-
tured by BIB shot is more than likely to
be blinded, either Immediately or years
later. We learned that it is illegal to
discharge q BIB gun in the District and
in most Of the urban areas surrounding
it. SO the gift of BIB gun may be an
invitation to lawbreaking. Informing
the public. and parents In particular, Of
these facts Is q most important means Of
BIB gun injury prevention.
Protective legislation regarding use,
possession and sales Of BD guns In Prince
Georges and Fairfax Counties would be
helpful In cutting down these accidents,

For a Rule of Reason

The Senate has passed a bill which is de-
signed to assure more sensible application of
the secrecy rules at the Juvenile Court than
has prevailed there in the recent past. It should
not be necessary, Of course, to take up the time
of Congress with legislation to require a rule
of reason in this or any other court. But be-
cause Of an arbitrary and novel Interpretation
of the present law by Judge Cockrill, legislative
action was deemed imperative to make the court
operate as it was intended to operate.
The Juvenile Court was intended to operate
in close association with and with the advice
and aid of other agencies concerned with the
welfare of children. But Judge Cockrilrs inter-
probation of the secrecy provision of the law
creating the court suddenly closed the courts
records last year to welfare agencies and other
groups or persons having legitimate interest
in juvenile delinquency. The order was followed
by number of designations of key members
Of the courts staff and by a storm of protests
from public and private sources. The Senate
BILL approved by the District Bar Association,
the District Commissioners and other interested
parties, would require the court to open its social
records ITO such persons governmental private
agencies and institutions as have legitimate
interest In the protection, welfare, treatment
and rehabilitation Of the child, and to any court
before which any such child may appear"
barreu-and properly eo-Would pc lnd1Ecrlm~
mate public inspection" Of the records. The
bill also would permit the Judge to admit to
hearings, In her discretion any persons she
deems to have legitimate interest In the case
or the work Of the court"
Discretion still would rest with the Judge
a. to precisely which agencies organizations
and persons come within the general scope Of
these which have 70 legitimate interest" In the
work OF the court, But the report OF the Senate
District Committee on the bill makes II plain
that, II Congress eaaets the legislation the court
will be expected to resume the normal relations
between the tribunal and other agencies which
existed prior to Judge ceckrils own interpreta-
ton OF the law,

More k-Street Campaigning

1t is traditional in American politics that
some rather dirty infighting frequently comes
to light in campaign periods The mere fact
OF Its happening, however, does not justify 1t,
nor Is the practice by any means essential to
the proper functioning of our political system.
Nearby Washington had taste Of this type
Of campaigning in the 1850 senatorial race in
Maryland when faxed photographs and defama-
tory literature intended to make the incumbent
Senator Tydings appear disloyal to his country
and friendly to communism were circulated
throughout the State. There was reason to be-
lieve that the device played part in the Sem
ators defeat and Senate committee investi-
eating the election wrote bitterly critical re-
port on this "despcable back street type of cam
paigning."
The same type Of campaigning now has
cropped up In the Republican preconvention
race, with General Eisenhower the principal tar
get. The pattern is much the same as that
found in the Maryland case, cartoons and photo
graphs that suggest sinister relationship be-
tween the general and Communist leaders and
captions that imply disloyalty and subversion on
his part
In the light Of General Eisenhower's accom-
plishmentS in World War II and his devotion
today to the effort which the free nations are
making to defend themselves against Communist
aggression, 1t is outrageous to charge him with
disloyalty toward his country or toward the
fundamentals Of democracy. The other aspirants

They ought to disavqV any approval Of or con-
