By Charles E. TroceweN
George Frederick Miller.

The nose demands 70 degrees or less,
indoors. but how often does it get it?
In Offices, both government and bus
mess, in buses, in stores, practically
everywhere in winter the human nose
is subjected to a constant assault of
heat and dryness
1t trades allergies from shrubs and
flowers and grasses outdoors. for al
lergies indoors from too much heat and
too much drSness.
The nose takes a terrific beating all
year long. but sticks to its duties there
on the front of the face, about half
way down, just East of one ear and
West of the other.
Temp Jones raked his leaves with
abandon, satisfied with his nose, as
Cyrano de Bergerac had been before
him.
Mans nose is an even better friend
than his dog. His faithful dog may
wander away, his gasoline buggy may
fail him. the light company may plunge
his house in darkness, but mans nose
is right there before him, leading the
way in darkness, taking blows for him.
and summing up the world as he ad-
vanceS. And when the last scene of
all comes. when his other features have
gone back on him, his mouth crooked,
his bones aching and pain in his neck.
there stands his old nose, faithful to
the last gasp.

This and That

"I miss you most" walled the lady on
the radio, when the leaves begin to
fall"
Ha. ha. says Templeton Jones, she
must be afraid she'll have to rake 'em.
Raking up the annual leaf fall is
Washington suburban sport.
In some communities they burn them,
with the result that it is all Foggy Bot
tom for days on end, and nights. too.
In others, they rake 'em up and
leave 'em. Yes. leave EN-. for the men
who are supposed to come around
and never do.
Or, if they do. they miss Jones' pile.
There was old Temp Jones. sweat
ing 1t out over his leaves.
The wind was blowing them from the
Smith house across the street.
Somehow, when the leaves begin to
fall. they always blow Jonesward.
Never in the other direction.
How does it happen" Jones wanted
to know, that in the fall the wind
always blows our way?"
Mrs. Jones had no answer for this.
She had noticed it, herself.
IT miss you most, my darling, when
leaves begin to fall"
In autumn. what Templeton Jones
missed most is summer.
Ho, no, for summertime! Somebody
wrote song, once, about summertime.

Virginia Takes q Bow

Virginia has received ell-deServed COM
pliment from the National Municipal League.
Charles Edison, former Governor of New Jersey
and now chairman of the leagues executive
council, paid his respects to the State for
pioneering in administrative reorganization.
Speaking at the annual meeting Of the league
in Richmond, Mr. Edison said: You people here
in Virginia may not realize that few States have
ever had the substantial modernization of State
administration that you achieved under the
leadership of Governor Byrd nearly 20 years
ago"
Mr.. Edison said that any Virginians who
feel that their State is tagging in governmental
reforms should take look at governments in
most of the other States. There, he declared,
administrative procedures are outmoded most
legislatures are $50 unwieldy and cumbersome
that they lend themselves much better to
manipulation by professional self-seekers and
pressure groups than to full and orderly delib
Grafton among the elected members" and, all
in ALL the governments are 'less secure in the
confidence of their own people" The inevitable
result, he warned, is an increasing tendency of
the people to rely more and more on the Federal
Government for solution of their problems and
less and less on State and local authorities.
To indulge in an underStatement, there is
no getting away from the implication In Mr..
Edisons remarks that the so-called Byrd
machine" has not done so bad for Virginia,
after all.

And long before that, there was "In
the Good Old Summertime"
There never has been any idea but
that summer is the good time, despite
the bee stings. the ants in the sand
wiches, and the perspiration.
Good old honest sweat, as it used to
be called, has lost its terrors now.
Modern chemistry has seen to that.
Along with atom and even more hor-
rible bombs, inventive genius has seen
to it that human beings no longer
smell.
This puts us all one-up on summer
time. Templeton Jones thinks.
The strict modern has a great fear
Of offending others in physical way.
He does not mind in the least offending
them mentally
Summer is the great corrective to
winter.
Plenty of fresh air for every one,
even the timid-
T.. That is summer. and it is all to the
good, especially to the nose.
Templeton Jones thinks that the
human nose, as Doc Kinsey might call
it, has never been given half the credit
it deserves.
Not only do We breathe with it. and
smell with it, he says. but it is ba-
rometer and thermometer in little, and
sometimes not so little, either.

The Trumun-White Affair

1t now appears quite clear that
President Truman did know of the
FBI report on the spy activities of
Harry Dexter White, then Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, about the
time that the nomination of White
was confirmed by the Senate for ap-
pointment as director of the 1nterna-
tional Monetary Fund.
The President, at the time, had the
advice of James Byrnes, former JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court, and Fred
Vinson. soon to be Chief Justice. and
he also had available the advice of
his Attorney General and Solicitor Cen
eral in the Department of Justice.
1t is reported that Mr.. Truman ex-
pressed to ByrneS some doubt as to his
right to withhold the commission to
White, the Senate already having con-
f1rmed the appointment.
AS Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, Harry Dexter White held an Office
without term and in the discretion of
the President. Truman could have
discharged White at any time as Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury.
In the famous case of Marbury VS..
Madison, decided in 1903, there was

Juvenile Crime 'Hysterio'

Juvenile Court Judge Edith Cockrill picked
poor time to charge that an erroneous feeling
of "hysteria" is being created in the public
mind by the things that are being said and
written about juvenile delinquency
The timing was bad because the judges
comments on the erroneous feeling came
against the background of the exposure of de-
linquency at Paul Junior High School-the
arrest of a youth who was shaking down"
other youngsters, followed by the savage gang
beating of the 14-year- old ~boy who reported
the racket.
This is only one incident in long succession
of juvenile crimes. 1t is situation which gives
rise to a deep concern in which there is no
element of hysteria. Judge Cockrill estimates
herself that there was 10 per cent increase
last year in juvenile complaints. And while
other estimates are higher, an increase of
even 10 per cent is enough to justify concern,
and, one would think, to discourage any at
tempt to attribute that concern to hysteria.

baseball, as business which might be subject
to antitrust law has centered upon the uni
form contract and the reserve clause by which
players are bound firmly to the contract
holding club with no option of selling their
baseball services elsewhere. Other complaints
have been directed at the territorial franchises
which permit area "monopolies," and the con-
troll of broadcasting and televising rights.
While forceful legal arguments can be and
have been made on each side Of these questions,
there is twilight atmosphere" around the
entire field of professional sports that is not
found in connection with any other activity for
profit. One club owner, Phil Wrigley of the
Chicago Cubs, summed up the frustrating quail
tiles of this dilemma when he said: Baseball is
now too much business to be sport, and too
much sport to be a business"
The best practical solution would seem to
be to leave it right where it is-which is just
about what seven members Of the Supreme
Court decided.

vote as counterpresSure group. Then.
without artificial prices, farmers would
continue to produce as economically
independent, self Prospecting citizens.
The fact that most farming is carried
on primarily for subsistence is often
overlooked. Prices are of no significance
for goods consumed where they are
produced. Eggs, milk and meat are
just as nourishing at zero prices as at
the peak of support prices. Wool, cot
ton and wood supply just as much
warmth and protection when they
can't be sold as when they bring high
prices. The cash that farmers need
to pay taxes and to buy modern i'm
provementS would be obtained under
free enterprise from the sale of prod
uce to large urban populations always
requiring large quantities of food,
shelter and clothing.
If price support for farm products is
essential, why were farmers in this
country prosperous for a century or
two before the advent of the New Deal?
Such support serves not fair distribu-
ton of goods but the accumulation of
wealth by one class at the expense of
the majority.

Bethesdu's New PIun

The Chamber of Commerce Of Be-
thesda has recently announced its plan
for the expansion of the business area
of Bethesda plan which contem-
plates turning its residential streets
into commercial industrial thorough
fares, and which contemplates the
complete evisceration of the Edgemoor
area of its beauty and desirability as
a residential area. The most serious
threat is that of widening Arlington
road from 20 feet to 80 feet between
Wilson lane and Elm street, In order to
accommodate truck traffic.
We submit that this would depreciate
not only the fine homes in the Edge
moor area, but would ultimately de-
prive the Bethesda area of its only
stock in trade-itS proximity to homes
of fine suburban quality. Unless this
factor is recognized the short-visioned
merchants who eSpouse this program
will succeed in depreciating the COM
mercial area by forcing out the long
established residents who set the stand
ard in the are and give it its basic
character If Edgemoor is reduced to
a commercial industrial throughway.
the high commercial frontage values in
Bethesda will give way in favor of 10
cations farther out, and more acces-
sible to residents. Frontage values on
Wisconsin avenue vary between 81 and
$40 per square foot in choice areas.
This is not due to any intrinsic value in
BetheSda's shops, but to the proximity
Of the shopping center to fine homes.
The plan" for the Bethesda area,
and especially the suggestion that Ar
lington road should be widened, is ar
rived at as pure commercial plan,
without any consideration for the ulti-
mate good of the area. For example,
if Arlington road is widened, what hap
pens to the hundreds of small children
who walk to the Bethesda Elementary
School along Arlington road? Shall
they dodge trucks roaring by in an 30
foot roadway? And the YWCA, the Ii
brary and the three churches in the
vicinity of Arlington road and Wilson
lane-shall they close because the
merchants want the area for their
trucks? The Chamber of Commerce
does not explain what the Edgemoor
residents along Arlington road are sup
posed to do Presumably they must
either join the ver-increasing group
of escape-sellers, or have the task of
removing whisky bottles and trash
from their doorways as the trucks
roar by.
We submit that if any master plan
has been drawn or considered by the
County Council, it should be discarded,
and a committee of residents should
have say in future planning in the
Bethesda area The proposed Route
240 will take lot of the strain from
Bethesda. 1t will also take business
away, unless the commercial interests
see the value of maintaining the resi-
Dental areas that presently exist.

Tope-Recorded TeIevision

An announcement by the Radio Corpora
ton of America concerning a method of re-
cording televiSion in color or black and white
on a magnetic tape has not received the pub
licity which such revolutionary development
merits. The reason for this Is that the dis
closure was made incidentally during another
newSworthy event-the first coast-to-coast
transmission of color TV. Transcontinental
color television is an important achievement, Of
course, but so is the reported perfection of an
inexpensive system for recording not only
sound but sight" on a Photographic tape.
RCA Chairman David sarnoff disclosed the
TV tape recorder to correspondents and indus
,trialists witnessing the pioneer coast-to-coast
transmission of TV in the new compatible.
color process. The tape will be demonstrated at
the RCA Laboratories in Princeton, New Jersey,
on December /. The process has tremendous
significance, for it not only would simplify the
recording of televiSion programs for record or
rebroadcaSt purposes but might draStically af-
feet the motion picture business. General
Sarnof said that home recordings of TV pro-
grams could be Immediately "replayed" over
the home televSion set. Moreover, representa-
tives of the movie industry envision the
"electronic tape" as a substitute for the con-
ventional Photographic sight-and-sound color
film, which involves time-conSuming and costly
developing processes.
So the intriguing prospect for the television
fan of the future (and General Sarnoff said the
tape process may be ready for public use in
about two years. is that he will be able to
turn on his TV set, snap switch and then
take his wife to a party, content in the
knowledge that he will not miss that prize fight
or ball game after all. On his return home he
need only snap another switch and enjoy
recording of the missed program-in full color
even. The domestic benefits inherent in such
q system are no less sensational than the
scientific and industrial aspects.
