is expected of these monsters" as The
Star calls them, to go down-hill up to
speeds of 1880 miles per hour and
uphill 10 to Is miles per hour permitting
no passenger car to safely and legally
pass. Personally, I think our highways
would be safer by far without these
freight cars on wheels. However. since
they seem to be here to stay. could not
legal steps be taken to limit their loads
to smaller capacities and really en-
force the speed laws that are, we hope.

John @. Public?
Also, do go along with The Stars
contention of too much attention given
to overlooking, since regretfully. this
too, seems to be merely a delaying
device rather than an effective way to
reduce weights. as very few, as I can
observe, of these truck-trailers are de-
tanned at the various weighing stations.
I know these problems are some
times overwhelming I think more
can be done to slow down these trucks
which are beating passenger car time
throughout the Shenandoah Valley
area.

An UntouchobIe Deficit?

The rough time which some members of his
own party have been giving Postmaster General
Summerfeld over his plan to raise postal rates
is indicative of the phoninesS in much of the
talk about budget balancing. Republican
members of the House Post Office Committee
were the ones who took Mr.. Summerdeld and
the administration to task for trying to reduce
the $600-million annual postal deficit.
Mr. Summerfield encountered a storm of
opposition when he pleaded for approval of
higher postal rates. The pushing around he
received last Monday by several committee
members of his party was wholly uncalled for.
Representative Hagen, Republican, of Mime
sofa, leading the opposition, wanted to put
the whole matter off until next January But,
as Mr.. Summerfleld pointedly observed, the
deficit meanwhile will be piling up at a rate
of more than 81 million a day. This sort of
waste of Federal money is too staggering to be
regarded with complacency by any one or to be
ignored today for consideration next year or
thereafter.
It may be that the postal service never will
be put on a completely Self-Supporting basis,
but no time should be lost in cutting down on
the size of the annual losses which the depart
ment has been incurring for so many years.
The new rates suggested by the administration
would produce an additional $240 million in
revenues. That would knock a Sizeable chunk
off the annual deficit, without imposing any
real hardship on the users of the mails. The
prospect of such a saving is worth the i'm
mediate and sympathetic attention of Congress.

official actions. But this same principle
OF protection should also apply gener-
ally to other situations where there is
no conflict of interest with the Federal
Government. This would include the
conduct of usual local community af-
fairs.
Present difficulties indicate that the
entire situation needs immediate clari-
fication. The Legislature can and should

Meanwhile, we can ask that ali parties

deliberately obstruct orderly procedures

Case for Vocational Schools

The purpose of this letter is to ex-
press to you my appreciation for the
very fine article written under the
name of John r. Maxwell and entitled
THE Case for Vocational Schools" !"
which appeared in The Sunday Star
on July S.
This article was extremely we'll pre-
pared and is one which should be very
valuable in acquainting all persons who
read it with the Importance and need
for training programs in vocational
education that are being conducted
under the provisions of the National
Vocational Educational Acts.

Arlington School Board Case

The request just denied for court
review Of the Arlington County School
Board case hits the jackpot. It again
challenges the right Of Federal en-
ployeS to exercise their responsibilities
as citizens by serving in local commu-
nifty Offices. It threatens the educational
welfare of thousands of county school
children. In addition. because of the
constitutional issue involved its i'm
plications may go far beyond the queS-
ton of membership on local school or
county boards. It may raise questions
regarding the legality of official actions
and the legal status of hundreds of
State and local personnel throughout
Virginia-in the Legislature and in ad-
ministrative and judicial positions. The
Arlington and Fairfax County bond
difficulties may be only the beginning
of problems all over the State unless
the issue is faced squarely and clarified
promptly.
Briefly. the situation is this: Among
the opposition to Federal employe par
ticipation in local affairs the viewpoint
is held that
The State constitution, adopted prior
to 1900, prevents any one in the Federal
service from holding State or local Office
in Virginia.
This applies to all Federal service.
whether it is part time or full time,
military or civilian.
That the Office in Virginia becomes
automatically vacant as soon as the
person involved performs Federal serv-
ince for which reimbursement is re-
ceived.
1t is also stated that the Legislature
has not acted properly in permitting
exceptions for conduct of local affairs.
Other contrary views are expressed by
those who favor the participation of
Federal employees. However. If the first
view prevails and is carried to its ulti-
mate conclusion some major problems
are encountered.
For example, many local and State
officeholders are members of the coun-
try'S military reserves. Part of their
time is spent in military training, for
which they receive pay from the Fed
eral Government. GSuch a situation was
not anticipated when the State con-
stitution was adopted) Are these per-
sons to be excluded from their State po-
sitions because of patriotic service?
And are their official actions to be sub
jected to legal sniping?
In such cases where there is clearly
no conflict of interest with the Federal
Government, the Legislature can and
should take every necessary action to
assure the legal status OF these positions

Curbino Crime

The Star performed a worthwhile
public service by its editorial support,
recently, of congressional action for
police pay raises and expansion of the
force to full capacity. particularly in
its citation of figures showing hot
weather increases in crimes of sex and
violence.
In such connection, wide survey Of
city defenSeS against crime might
reveal some additionally effective
weapons. For instance, Cleveland sew
eral years ago put a curb on crime by
reducing its car patrols and putting
many more officers back on beats on
foot. Baltimore recently undertook q
similar step. Such patrols. it has been
found, make officers much better &C
quainted with the aberrated and OBJ
sessed in their areas.
During Cor perhaps even before) the
last war, Portland, Oreg.. police made
excellent use of virtual all-age cur
few, commonly known as the "after
hours law" During the trying days of
the conflict, it was vigorously observed
but afterward was relaxed as to general
application while still leaving an effec-
tive means to the police to control
night wrongdoers. I believe the
law set 10 pm. deadline for youths
under Is. II pm. for those from Is to
18. But the law definitely set midnight
for all. However, it was not dicta-
torial oppression of citizens rights. Any
one could be out after the prescribed
limits If for proper cause. It was those
on the prowl without legitimate excuse
that were liable to application of the
ordinance.
Such prescriptions as those of Cleve-
land, Baltimore and Portland might
serve Washington we'll. Still other
cities may have other devices to offer.
The Capital certainly needs them.
SCOOP" Shutz.
The enemy is with us. When we drive
about the city we pass where some
shopkeeper. woman, child or police
man fell. The ravages of war are
graphically pictured daily and people
pray that we may realize an end to
the carnage. For some unknown rea-
son they do not comprehend the gravity
of the situation here at home During
the past year the newspapers have en-
deavored to arouse the public to be on
guard. have implored Congress tena-
ciously to give more attention to the
situation and have backed the Metro
politan Police Department assiduously,
to no avail.
Congress owes it to the Nations Cap
ital to grant at least an examination
of the situation, with the proper wit
nesses, out in the open. so that it can
be rectif1ed before the lid blows of,
which is imminent.

Flirting With Disaster

The name calling and armed tension which
have once again settled over the Suez Canal
zone as an aftermath of the disappearance of
a British airman have set stage ominously
reminiscent of one found there in January,
1852. Outright tish-Egyptian conflict at
arms and heavy bloodshed resulted then, with
the destructive anti-British fire riots following
week later in Cairo. The coup by which the
present military controlled government took
over the reins in Egypt came six months later
as the chain of events led inexorably to such a
climax.
Many of the elements present today are
closely comparable to those present eighteen
months ago. British troop units, equipped with
battle gear and reinforced in recent weeks.
have ringed the town of Ismailia while Egyptian
forces-army now as against auxiliary police
then-have mounted guard over public build
ings. 1t was British decision to dsarm the
police that precipitated the fighting in 1852 but
shooting could begin today without premedita-
ton. formal state of war was not far away
in January, 1852, and it could be close again in
July, 1853.
It is poor testimony to the efficacy of mod
ern diplomacy that two powers having as many
long-standing mutual interests as do Britain
and Egypt should be so close to reSorting to
war as q means of solving their differences.
Resolution of the Sudan ISSUE in principle at
least, several months ago encouraged hopes
that the question of maintaining and operating
the big British defense base in the Suez area
could be negotiated with relative ease. Ma
tionalist pressures within Egypt, however, have
forced the Naguib government to maintain an
uncompromising position in favor of evacuation
of all British troops. Although Britain has
several times agreed to this point in principle,
the deadlock which set in more than two
months ago came over the relatively insignid-
cant detail of how many foreign presumably
BritiSh) technicians should remain to maintain
the base and whether their command control
should be direct from the British War Office or
be channeled through the Egyptian government.
During the succeeding weeks, the British
have reinforced their canal zone garrison
while Egyptian government spokesmen have
talked menacingly of war of liberation" :"
Obviously, such a war would mean neither
liberation for Egypt nor security for the British
base It is time for realism to supplant the
false pride of both parties.

Reduced Milk Deliveries

Most recent meekness is seen in their
