adverse to the E street bridge, or rather
adverse to the Dissertation" of Roose-

while one veteran committee aide on
the House side predicted recently that
there was no chance of congressional
approval of the E street bridge over the
Roosevelt Island
The accumulation of strikes against
the street site ought to be enough to
induce the coach to look around for
substitute
There are some good ones available,
but must agree with General Prentiss
that the proposed Jones Point bridge
at Alexandria can never be substitute
for central area bridge. Jones Point
is for by-pasSing; the central bridge is
for the daily ebb and flow of suburban
ties. In addition, the only feasible way
of financing the Jones Point project
is with Federal funds Gas per Mr.. Broy-
hills bilD since the bridge location
achieves the almost impossible feat of
passing through the District of Colum-
bia, Maryland and Virginia. Imagine

can and Pacific security agreements and the
other devices by which we have sought to pro-
tect ourselves and our friends. 1t is by no means
essential that Republican administration need
carry on these projects in precisely the same
manner as would a Democratic administration,
and even Mr.. Truman did not say SO. In fact,
the course of events requires f1exibility in the
implementation of any policy, however soundly
conceived There has stemmed from these en-
deavors, however, an invigoration of the West
ern world which was badly needed in the face
of Communist subversion and aggression and it
is well to have a voice from the party out of
power restate the values contained in them.

End Of an Absurd Practice

On recommendation of Police Chief Murray,
the Commissioners have ended a courtesy"
credentials practice that never should have
been started. Perhaps, as has been contended
from time to time, the honorary badges and
courtesy cards were intended only as "Sou-
venirs" of the Police Department., but, if so,
some recipients have taken them more seri-
ously There have been instances in which
holders of the souvenirs sought to use them to
six" traffic tickets or otherwise soften up po-
licemen. One Congressman not so long ago used
his courtesy badge to try to impress taxicab
driver whom he had accused of cutting in front
of him. CThe cab driver was not impressed.)
Another citizens card was revoked when he
flashed it on a policeman who had arrested
him for traffic offense. Obviously, the card
holder was not just showing the souvenir"
because he thought the officer was interested
in souvenir collecting. One of the proud pos
SCISSOR of a courtesy card is the well-known
Henry CThe Dutchman) Grunewald.
All of this has been rather embarrassing
to Chief Murray, who never cared much for the
courtesy card or badge idea, anyway. Whereas
his predecessors are reported to have scattered
the souvenirs around generously especially
among persons with whom they wished to curry
favor), Chief Murray has cut down sharply on
their issuance since taking Office. Nobody
seems to know just how many have been
issued in the past or who still holds them. No
effort will be made to recall them. But the
department has been put on notice that no
special privileges go with these "souvenirs"-.
that all citizens are to be treated courteously,
whether or not they are able to display badge
or card That is the way it should be in a
public-Service department.

later by q 4-lane bridge connecting
Arizona avenue and Canal road with
Lee highway via Spout Run parkway
and also with George Washington park
way along the Virginia side of the river.
The highway department is about to
launch the huge and highly COM
mendable project Of building a south
west freeway all the way across the
southwest section on the line of F
street, including a new bridge across
the Washington Channel The current
idea is to tie the west end of this route
into the Fourteenth street bridge ap-
proacheS near the Jefferson Memorial.
Our proposal is to keep the south
west freeway clear of the present Four
teenth street bridges and instead to ex-
tend it across the river on a new bridge
and tie into the Shirley highway, U. 8. /,
Washington boulevard, and Mount
Vernon highway between Reaches Run
and the Pentagon.
BY linking the southwest freeway to
Shirley highway. the highway depart
ment can produce continuous, easy
flowing expressway extending from
Woodbridge at the Fairfax-Prince Will
liam County line to South Capitol
street few blocks from the Capitol
Building.
Inbound traffic from Virginia could
peel off" the freeway and approach
the central area via Twelfth, Ninth,
Seventh or Third streets. Meanwhile
the Fourteenth street bridge would
continue to deliver Virginia traffic to
the White House area, and the Me-
fol -
section west of the White House. The
east-weSt flow Of rush-hour traffic
would be mercifully minimized.
The southwest Shirley location would
avail itself of D. C.. approach (the
southwest freeway) that is going to be
built anyway rather than lot of ex-
pensive construction necessitated en-
tirely because of the bridge, as in the
case Of E street.
The southwest-Shirley bridge would
not disturb the Arlington Towers and
Potomac Plaza projects. It would re-
quire taking no additional private land
on the District side and very little on
the Virginia side.
If this bridge and it's Arizona avenue
companion can't be built for less than
the cost Of the E street bridge and its
necessary approaches, I will gladly eat

Social Security Angle

Your September % edition carried
a very interesting article by Thomas
L. Stokes on the Federal Social Security
program
wish to point out that Mr.. Stokes
badly muffed one very important angle
of the present program when he said
Outside income now is limited to $75
a month. This limitation is one of the
chief grievances against the present
system"
This statement is only half truth.
It does not point out that person can
receive an insurance annuity or a COM
pany pension, or dividends on stocks
or interest on bonds in any amount and
still receive his social security benefits.
What Mr.. Stokes means is that per-
son cannot receive wages or profits
from a business he operates in excess
of SIS month and still collect social
security benefits. G.. r. Rowland

Chief Justice Warren

There is little point in attempting to pre-
dict the quality of Governor Earl Warren's per-
formance as Chief Justice of the United States.
If the President had chosen an experienced
juriSt as successor to the late Chief Justice
Vinson the case would be different. For such
nominee would have behind him a record which
would serve as guide to the probable nature
of his service in the Nations highest judicial
post. But Governor Warren has no judicial
record. 1t is known that he opposed President
Roosevelt's move to "pack" the court, that he
shared the States rights view in the off-shore
oil controversy, and that he approved the de-
cision multiplying President Trumans seizure of
the steel industry. These are issues in which
he participated as a distinguished figure in
public life, but not as judge.
Isolated incidents of this Sort however,
afford no real clue to a mans legal philosophy.
The same thing may be said of Governor War
ren'S experience as lawyer. AS prosecutor
and as State Attorney General, he moved in
relatively restricted field-a field in which he
had little or no occasion to eXpound his views
on most of the great constitutional and other
issues that will come before him as Chief
Justice.
The things that are known about the
California Governor, however, speak well for
him. It is hard to think of any one in the
realm of active politics who would be better
qualified for the post. Governor WarrenS
integrity is not open to question. He is pro-
gressive and liberal-minded. AS Governor Of
the complex State of California, he has proved
himself to be an able administrator. And he
is personable, vigorous, comparatively young and
his participation in past political campaigns
has made him a national figure.
He will have need of all these qualities when
he assumes the Chief Justiceship on an interim
basis next Monday For the division within the
court is such that any presiding officer would
be faced with difficult task. And ineXperience,
obviously, will compound the difficulties.
That Governor Warren is under no illu-
Sions on this score is indicated by his comment
when informed of the Presidents decision. II
will apply myself to the task" he said with
the very best that is in me and will compensate
for any limitations with industry and faithful
ness to the cause of constitutional government
in America" This is statement signifying
sense of humility which marks good be-
ginning.

Mr.. Truman Speaks Wisely

There was praiSeworthy pointedness to Mr..
Truman'S address in New York when he pleaded
with his fellow Americans of whatever political
afhliation to keep and strengthen the grand
alliance of free men," not because of any soft
ness" toward foreigners but in the very interest
of the United States itself
For Mr.. Truman believes profoundly, and
most responsible thinkers agree with him, that
the preservation of genuine freedom IN the
Notwithstanding the Four Freedoms which were
being honored on the occasion Of his address
depends upon the concerted effort and deter
mination of those people who have learned to
value liberty and the dignity of mankind. That
such effort cannot be made effectively in isola-
tion-either political, economic or military-has
been made abundantly clear.
Mr.. Truman was overSimplifying perhaps
but was not too wide of the mark when he chal-
lenged "the people who say the really important
thing is to cut taxes regardless Of national
danger or that it is too much trouble to have
allies, or that books should be burned, or that
the United Nations isn't any good because it is
too full of foreigners, or that we should simply
let foreigners fight foreigners Actually, no
voices in authority have spoken these words but
there have been overtoneS of feeling-in Con-
gresS, for example-that the collective security
effort in which we have taken the lead has rep
resented more cost than value. Inc cost lndeeo
has been high but infinitely higher might have
been the cost if we had allowed Western Europe
to drift into economic collapse and quite
probably, in the case of some of the countries
still free today into communism.
1t was, then, plea for more than the
preservation of Democratic administrations
policy in international affairs when the former
President asked the continued support, regard
less of partisanship, of the reciprocal trade
program, strong defense establishment the
North Atlantic alliance, the progress already
made toward European unity, the inter-Ameri-

The American Way

On recent television program some
OF our scientists proclaimed to the
world our weakness and our inability
to stop Russia from atom bombing our
big cities. What with practically in
viting Russia to strike before we are
stronger, and helping to fill the psy-
chiatrists' Offices with people who are
already worried and afraid, that pro-
gram did as much harm as though
Russia had actually dropped an atom
bomb on the United States.
One of the strongest weapons Russia
has in her cold war against this country
is her ability to keep her big mouth
shut. When will we learn to do the
same? F. G. Campbell.
