Rescue Squud Commended

Please, few words Of commentator
for what is probably the best volunteer
organization in the United States. .
On June z, while erecting carnival
at Twenty street and Mill
tary road NV, for the purpose Of
raising funds for a new st. Johns
College High School, one of the
participants suffered heart attack. A
quick phone call, and the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Rescue Squad was on
hand within minutes-an so competent
and sincere in their work that it makes
one who has had anything to do with
paid, professional personnel a bit
ashamed. Their attitude, efficiency, and
ability should be a criterion to all who
have had a desire to help their fellow
man.

An Empire Changes Hands

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that an
empire is changing hands as Robert r. Young
and his associates take over control OF the New
York Central Railroad Company. For the Cen
trail with its estimated assets Of about $2.6 bill
lion, not only is the second largest railroad IN
the country; it is also great busineSS-1nduS-
trial enterprise owning ships, wharves, ter
minals grain elevators, hotels, apartment
houses office buildings and some of the most
valuable real estate in the world.
As railroad it has rich history-from the
time a charter was granted to a 17-nile
line between Albany and Schenectady in 1926,
through birth of the New York Central name
from a merger of ten small roads in 1853, the
acquisition of control by Commodore Vanderbilt
in 1869 and the years Of war and peace since in
which the big banking interests of New York
City have been the dominant owners. A new
chapter starts now with "big money" from
outside New York holding the throttle.
There. will be many fascinated observers
looking over the shoulders of the new manage
ment in the months to come. Mr.. Young has
been an individualist in his finance and railroad
dealings He has challenged the entire railroad
industry with some of his charges in the past
accusing much of it Of unimaginative inef1ci-
ency and with being the worst run industry in
the country" His criticism has been most
pointed In the long and bitter battle with the
defeated management of the Central. Now the
time is close for him to back up his own prom
ises Of running better railroad, while recording
higher earnings and paying fatter dividends.
Other railroads and other transportation in
dustries will be watching closely.
The Young slate of directors represents
breadth of interest and proved ability in many
fields Included will be the "woman's touch" as
q contribution from Mrs Lila Wallace maya
zine owner and editor. Perhaps the smarteSt
personnel choice Of all, however, was Mr..
Youngs prompt selection of Alfred E. Perlman,
executive vice president OF the Denver d Rio
Grande Western Railroad to be the new presi-
dent Of the Central. Mr.. Young was attacked
during past months as being palm Beach
and Newport hnancier" rather than . rail-
reader. Mr.. Perlman has been railroader on
the operating side, not the financing, all his
life and his record is considered one Of the
best in the industry.
The battle for control was spectacular but
the rest of the show could be good, too.

Secondary Bridge Relief

House approval of the Jones Point bridge
across the Potomac at Alexandria was crafty
ingly prompt, as BELTS project on which all
interested jurisdictions are agreed. The ease
with which this bridge bill swept through
committee channels and the House itself is in
sharp contrast with the difficulties which have
stalled congressional action on an even more
urgent trafic-relief structure, bridge in the
central area of Washington's water front. The
impasse in the street versus Reaches Run
bridge controversy is so rigid as to justify con-
alteration of secondary relief plans.
One such secondary plan calls for the en-
largement Of the traff1c-carrying capacity Of
Key Bridge, from Georgetown to Rosslyn,
with major improvements also to the ap-
proaches at both ends. This bridge was not
designed for the daily traffic load which con-
gests its narrow lanes today. Another bridge
in the central area would reduce Key Bridge
congestion materially. If Congress is unable
to bring the current ''battle Of the bridges" to
an early and satisfactory conclusion, plans for
the improvement Of Key Bridge merit more
priority than has been given them in the past.
It is good news to motorists, therefore,
that the District Highway Department has
called q conference of Federal District and
State highway authorities to discuss the mod
ernization of Key Bridge. The four lanes
Of the old bridge have been taxed beyond
capacity ever since the opening Of the White
hurst freeway Traffic bottlenecks exist at both
ends. The purpose Of the conference, 1t Is said,
Is to consider the feasibility Of increasing the
number Of lanes to six, by removing the side
walks and perhaps suspending them by CAN'T
lever means on the outside Of the structure.
Better approaches on the Georgetown and
Rosslyn shores would necessarily be included
In any such reconstruction program. This
would require co-ordinated teamwork on the
part Of all jurisdictions concerned. It is not
too early to begin discussions with view to
making preliminary plans or at least explor-
ing the jurisdictional angles. Key Bridge will
have to be rebuilt or replaced sooner or later
and unless more progress is made on the cen
tral-area bridge issue the job will have to be
done sooner than otherwise would have been
the case.

THE House Called Science"

that ut Is proper ana Just that the
patronage Of science by society Is in
large measure. based on the increased
power which knowledge gives But
we also know how little Of the deep
new knowledge which has altered the
face OF the world 8. resulted from
quest for practical ends or an interest
In exercising the power that knowledge
gives. For most Of us, in most of those
moments when we are most free Of
corruption. it has been the beauty of
the world Of nature and the strange
and compelling harmony Of its order,
that has sustained. inSpirited, and led
US And if the forms in which
society provides and exercises its pa
tronage leave these incentives strong
and secure, new knowledge win never
stop as long as there are men,"
Stated another way, as DR.. Open
heimer has stated 1t, the incentives Of
''open access to knowledge" and "un-
locked doors" in the field Of science
fare mark Of freedom as fundamental
as any. They give q freedom to re-
solve difference by converse, and,
where converse does not unite, to let
tolerance compose diversity. This
would appear to be q freedom barely
compatible with modern political tyr
amy. :. It is q cruel and humorless
sort Of pun that so powerful present
form Of modern tyranny should call It
self by the very name Of belief In
community communism The
open society, the unrestricted access to
knowledge, the unplanned and unin-
hibited association Of men for its fur
therance-these are what may make
q vast, complex, ever-growing. ever
changing, ever more specialized and
expert chronological world nevertheless
world of human community"
And elsewhere in his little book of
lectures, referring to "the house called
science" DR.. Oppenheimer has this to
say: cit is vast house indeed (.
there are no locks: there are no shut
doors: wherever we go there are the
signs and usually the words of welcome.
It is an open house, open to all corners"
The words seem Singularly opposite,
in a sad and even tragic sort Of way,
at moment when the writer Of them
though cleared as thoroughly loyal
American-finds himself barred, for
security reasons, from our Federal
house Of atomic science.

On Memorial Day. my synagogue
held a picnic for about TOO people at
Rock Creek Park. When we arrived,
we found that Negro church group

as we did. Instead Of confusion or
name-calling over the error by the
Recreation Department. the two picnic
chairmen agreed to divide the area
and share all of the facilities. Each
group carried out its planned program.
The afternoon concluded with an I'M

showed their youngsters how the Lord

in peace and with respect for each
other.

Risky Economy

I noted with interest and pleasure
your editorial of May 80. entitled,
risky Economy" Apparently the
House subcommittee and full Commit
tee on Appropriations have needed its
message as they have recommended TO
the House that the tuberculosis grants
to-States budget be increased by $2.5
million. AS we stated in our comments
to the House subcommittee, recent &C
ton at the Federal level concerning the
control of tuberculosis has been puz-
zling. The mass X-ray survey assist
ance to large cities, where the tuber-
culosis problem is concentrated, has
been eliminated completely, and the
proposed 1855 budget called for So
per cent reduction in grants to States,
which money is used principally to ind
cases. In other words, it seemed that
the attitude was: Nov that we have
effective drugs and other improved
methods of treatment for tuberculosis
which will give patients better chance
for recovery and stop them from
spreading their disease to others, let's
stop finding cases'-which just doesn't
make sense to us.
We deeply appreciate your co-opera-
ton and hope the House and Senate
will vote to accept the Appropriations
Committees recommendations.
