Coupled to this inconven-
1ence is the certainty of
higher taxi fares because of
the distance. At that, the ride
will be less than that from

ton may cut his travel time
from airport to hotel to q few
minutes. Within 10 years, avi-
alton experts say. the "bus"
type helicopter should be in
operation.
However, finding a suitable
"Heliport" site in downtown
Washington may be difficult.
For safety, it must be a tall
building, specially designed to
bear the weight of Helicopters
on its roof. It must have ade-
quate space for landings and
takeoffs; and it should pro-
vide a parking garage for
"commuter" patrons.
If it can be worked out, it
would eliminate Andrews main
drawback-the time element.
But. the ,CAA warns, regard
less of the outcome of Wednes-
days conference, don't expect
to take a plane from the new
Andrews airport any time soon.
It'll be two years at least. In
stallation of even the simplest

There's Nothing Of GoebbeIs

many's new regular overseas
radio program, Die Deutsche
Welle" (the German Wave)
nightly beams news, music and
features to listeners through
out the world.
From it's sleek new studios
In the shadow of the great
Cologne Cathedral, German
language broadcasts are going
out to Germans and former
Germans in all parts Of the
globe.
Conscious of the lamentable
propaganda of DR.. Joseph
Goebbels, this new German in
formation service is free OF
government supervision. "The
German Wave" is run jointly
by six privately owned West
German radio companies. The
programs are beamed from
transmitters at Osterloog, on
tie German North Sea coast.
It's chief editor, DR.. Hans
Otto Wesemann, maintains
that obtectivity as far as in
formation is concerned can be
served better by private rather
than state ownership of an
overseas broadcasting serv-
ice. BY pooling resources and
sharing expenses the six radio
companies hope eventually to
add English and other foreign
language broadcasts to their
program.
The purpose of this program.
according to DR.. WeSemann. is
to keep the world and, in par
ticular, the Germans living
abroad abreast of the latest
developments in Germany, in
politics. arts and sciences. A

political leaders are also car
ried. A round-table discus
sion from Hamburg, program
OF Bavarian folk music or a
concert by the Berlin Phil
harmonic are rebroadcast from
the domestic channels.
Unfortunately" DR.. Wese-
mann said, most Germans liv-
ing abroad have little notion
of what is really going on in
the Fatherland." Strange as
it may seem. he added, many
people need to be told that
Bismarck, the Kaiser and Hit
Ter are dead, and unmourned.

bility, too, if any new appoint
ments are made, is Rowland F.

to succeed DR.. Cannon but
resigned to take a Justice
Department job before serv-
ing. Mr.. Faulkner was then
appointed. Mr.. Kinks; is now

What sort of people do the
judges appoint? Generally. the
men are lawyers or retired
businessmen. This may be be-
cause the judges are lawyers,
know more lawyers, think they
have more time for the job,
or hope for the judicial ap-
proach to board problems. OF
the six male members of the
present board, MesSrs. Leon
Tobriner, Wesley Williams,
Steinem and Faulkner are at
torneys. Board President c.
Melvin Sharpe is q retired
businessman.
Other man members in the
past have been from the pro-
feSsions-doctors and clergy
men.
There is no recognizable
pattern in the women. Gen
orally they are housewives who
have been active in women's
civic groups.
Should the board be more
representative? There have
been suggestions that the
members should come from
various sections of the city.
Under the revised home-rule
bill in the Senate, the men,
berS would be elected from
political wards. Others have
suggested that large commu-
nifty groups, such as labor,
should have a voice. These
suggestions, however, have
never prevailed over the pres
ent broad-gauge representa-
ton of sex, race and religion.
After all, there is a limit to
the amount of representation
you can cram into a nine-mem-
ber board. Some are bound
to be left out. Even now clique
voting often results in mat
terS having racial overtoneS.
Two Good Exomples
The type of board members
the community needs, if it can
get them, is represented in two
former memberships. Henry
Grattan Doyle, for many years
board president, and John H.
Wilson, an attorney who
served many terms as a col
ored member.
Both of these saw the board
for what it was supposed to
be-a policy making body for
a dual school system. Neither
dipped into school admin
istrative problems unless the
problems were brought to
them. Each was interested in
the school system as a Whole,
not just in the white or col
ored sections of it, according
to their race.
Colored members often are
under heavy pressure from
racial groups to use board
meetings as a forum for anti
segregation propaganda. Some
have done so. Not Mr. Wilson.
He accepted the dual system
not because he liked it but
because it was the laW-the
same law under which he was
appointed. His devotion to
both sections of the system
won him no friends among the
agitators among his own race.
however. Time and again they
sought to prevent his re-
appointment.
Under Mrs. Doyle's leader
ship the board reached a peak
of community respect and
prestige it may have equaled
before, but not since. Tactful
and attractive. she smoothed
the ruffled feelings of District
officials and congressman,
when they developed. She
won victories for the school
system in appropriations and
legislation that less adroit and
dignified handling might have
forfeited.
In the appointment of such
people is the justification of
the present system.

An Air Force captain plans to
force a legal test of Fairfax
County trailer regulations, even
though the law might be modi-
fed to accommodate people in
his predicament.
He is Capt. James D. Kent,
who appeared before the Board
of County Supervisors yesterday
to protest the law which makes
it illegal for him to live in a
trailer on his own lot on Route
682, Forestville, Va, above Great
Falls.
Capt. Kent, his wife and their
four children have lived in a
trailer at that location for about
a year. Fairfax County has an
ordinance, however, which pro-
hibitS trailers from parking any
where in the county except at
regular trailer camps.
No Law Against Shacks.
"There is no law that says a
man can't put up a shack or tent
on his own land and live in it.
Why can't he use a trailer?"
asked Capt. Kent.
He said he agreed that trailers
might detract from the value of
adjoining real estate, but he pro-
tested that the Government has
no right to tell people how to
live.

ment has a right to protect other

peoples property?" asked Super
visor Arthur Shaffer.
Mrs. Lillian Ermentrout, who
owns five acres across the road
from the captain, said she
brought his trailer to the atten-
ton of county authorities. She
said she wanted to build home
and feared bankers would not
approve a construction loan if
they saw a trailer across the
road. Mrs. Ermentrout said she
understood Capt. Kent planned
to build house on his lot and
would not object if he continued
to live in the trailer while his
house Is built.
Objects to Principle.
Capt. Kent said he does plan
to build house soon but he
objected to the principle of the
trailer law.
commemorative Attorney Hugh
Marsh said he would have to
get a warrant issued in the cap
tain's case, since the trailer
ordinance violation had been
called to his attention.
The supervisors decided to
have the planning commission
consider the possibility of amend
ing the ordinance to permit use
of a trailer on a private lot. while
the owner is building a home.
Capt. Kent told reporters he
planned to test the ordinance
anyhow, regardless of the pro-
posed amendment.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 6.-Sena-
tor Goldstein said IT think I'm
going to put my bid in" today
for one of the five decommis-
stoned ferry boats up for public
sale by the State.
The Democrat from Calvert
County would use the ferry on a
run from his county to Dor
chester across the Chesapeake
Bay. He and other legislators
from that area failed to force
the State to inaugurate such a
ferry run.
Bids on the five boats are to
be opened at noon by the State
Roads Commission. The boats
went out of service when the
bridge across Chesapeake Bay
was opened last year.
Senator Goldstein said there is
a possible hitch in his purchase.
There was a stipulation when the
bonds for the bridge were issued

that none of the boats would be
sold for competition with the
span. He said it hasn't been
settled legally yet whether the
proposed ferry across the lower
bay would violate the bond pro-
vision.
The last legislature rejected
two proposals to have the State
run ferries across the lower bay.
The State Roads Commission
had opposed the idea. saying it
would be losing proposition.
II think we could make it pay
if we get the boat reasonable"
Mr.. GoldStein said.
He said it was planned to OPP
crate the boat during daylight
hours between Cove's Point in
his county and Taylor's Island,
8 miles across in Dorchester. At
night it would be used for ex-
cursions.
Mr.. Goldstein said he is not
interested alone in the venture.
