Threat to Virginio' S Park Program

Curtailment or abandonment of the Capper-
Cramton park development program would be
a doubly serious blow to Arlington and Fairfax
Counties AS was pointed out in the series OF
articles in The Star on accomplishments OF the
Capper- -Cramton Act, nearby Virginia only re-
Gently evidenced any interest IN preservation
of its stream valleys. It would be ironic II,
after the States beated decision to take ad-
vantage of the act, Congress should decide to
scrap the whole program. Such a drastic and
unwise step has been suggested by Budget
Bureau officials.
Virginia was less farsighted than Maryland
at the time of passage of the Federal park aid
law in 1880. At that time nearby Virginia was
still replete with wide-open spaces. Nobody
foresaw the deep inroads which residential ex-
pansion of the succeeding decades was to
make in the wooded areas of the two Metropoll-
tan Area counties. Had Virginia elected 23
years ago to become partner in the park
conservation enterprise launched by the Capper-
Cramton Act, much of the encroachment could
have been averted and a great deal of money
saved. Today property values are so high that
it will be very costly to acquire land along the
streams that ought to be spared for recreation
purposes.
Maryland, on the other hand, was pioneer
partner with the Federal Government in the
park program. It's foresight has paid big divi-
dends Among its assets now are fine sylvan
park areas along numerous streams. Thousands
Of dollars have been saved by buying up these
sites before the spectators got crack. at
them The program is not completed, however,
and any threat to the Capper- -Cramton program
is threat to the Maryland development plans.
Virginia, fortunately, has shared in one
phase of the Capper-Cramton program. This is
the George Washington Memorial Parkway,
planned as link between Washingtons home
at Mount Vernon and the scene of his canal
building project at Great Falls. Under Joint
financing arrangement, the parkway has been
completed as far as Lorcom lane in Arlington
County, and most of the right of way thence to
the Fairfax County line, near Chain Bridge has
been purchased. The right of way through
Fairfax County remains to be bought, however.
If the Budget Bureaus slashing of park funds
is approved by Congress, completion of the
parkway will be indefinitely delayed-perhapS
to a degree imperiling the Fairfax extension
altogether. Virginia stands ready to carry out
her part of the parkway bargain. It would be
regrettable If the Federal Government reneged
on its obligations at this advanced stage of
the project

Livingston asked Foreign Minister
Talleyrand what the eastern boundary
OF the territory was. Talleyrand said
he didn't know. He advised the Ameri-
cans, in effect, to try to push the bound
ary as far east into Spanish territory
as they could get away with.
How far west the territory went was
matter to be established by explora-
ton and dickering with the Spanish,
who also held the Southwest and the
land on the other side of the Rockies.
There also had to be negotiations with
the British over the northern boundary.
There were other details. The people
who inhabited most of the territory,
the Indians. Of course were not con-
suited. President Jefferson was quite
sure the purchase was unconstitutional,
but he couldn't get anybody aroused
about the subject. When the United
States took over they did not take over
from the French but from the Spanish.
The Spanish had remained as governors
even after they had re-ceded the terri
tory to France. So it was the Spanish
flag which was lowered at New Orleans,
st. Louis and other places before the
United States flag went up.

Welcome, Judge Clark
~

Rockville is fortunate in having trial magistrate with
the legal training and ability that is possessed by our new
Judge, r. Duncan Clark.
Judge Clark has been active in county affairs for years
and he has grasp the intricate mechanism that has de-
veoped in this county In addition he has served
in the Legislature and knows what it is that makes laws
tick.
We feel that his experience and his human understand
ing will be of great aid to him in the difficult job of de-
liverng decisions in this court that really is much
court of human relations as of law.
We congratulate the trial magistrate upon his ac-
cession to the bench but also feel that Rockville also is
to be congratulated
Our commentator for the judge in way is a
condemnation of the old. Trial Magistrate Walter Moor
also has had human understanding and at times per-
haps has leaned too far backwards in his efforts to
that the rights of the defendant have been protected We
find little fault with this trait It is belief that
too many violations of the Bill of Rights condoned for
the sake of expediency and few sbacked judges who
believe the defendant must be proven guilty beyond
sonabe doubt necessary to maintain free

Congratulations Firenlen

There has been such marked improvement in the drv-
ing OF the volunteer remen in Rockville responding to the
lire siren that we feel mpeled to comment.
For the past several weeks the fremen have been OPP
Grating in much safer while responding to the
alarms and the fire engine drivers have observed safety
precautions coming out of Perry Street into the Montgom
cry Avenue intersection.
We feel that the ability of the firemen to accept the
recommendations of the Sentinel and the citizens of the
city OF Rockville and correct these traffic dangers worthy
OF considerable commentator.
Naturally, we are gratified that suggestions have
been heard by willing ears but are even more pleased
that the remen have step farther and extended their
safety measures beyond the Bank Corner We have OBJ
served that the fire engine operators also taking due
precautions and operating safely at the traffic light con-
troned intersections.
1t gives us great pleasure that we can extend our
thanks and congratulations to the Rockville Volunteer
Fire Department for their evident desire operate safely
through the city streets We had doubt that the fire
ladies would respond just well and as gladly to this
need they have for years the fighting of fires and dis
aster and the saving of human lives.
