Regard for Others Marks Judge Bostion
By Harriet Griffiths

One of the best-liked judges
of the local bench is President
Eisenhower's nominee to the
United States Court Of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia.
There is a gentle reserve about
Walter M. Bastian which allows
him a heartiness of frame and
disposition without being blus-
terry.
AS for his size. II history re-
peats itself, the appellate bench
is in for alterations. A six-footer
with three inches to spare, Judge
Bastian found the bench In his
Federal District courtroom too
low to accommodate his long
legs.
One of the most treasured 1T
tings of his chambers to be
scheduled for a move upstairs to
the fifth floor of the courthouse
would be the red and white silk
District of Columbia flag which
he displays with the National
Emblem.
Proud of Native City.
The District flag underlines the
62-year-old jurist,s pride in his
native city. where he practiced
law for nearly 81 successive years
before former President Truman
appointed him to the Federal
bench here in 1850.
AS was the case then, the judge
may go to the appellate court
under a recess appointment. since
his nomination reached the SEN
ate on the eve of it's adjourn
ment,, apparently too late for
confirmation action.
Judge Bastian had been prom
inently mentioned as q prospec-
| tive member of the Court Of APP
peals the year before his appoint
ment to the District Court. Those
appointed, however, were Judges
David L. Bazelon, George T.
Washington and Charles Fahy.
| On the District Court bench,
Judge Bastian joined two of his
| former classmates in the George
town Law School Glass of 1913
Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws and
Associate Judge David A. Pine.
His law practice had been de-
voted almost exclusively to
handling civil actions, but under
the rotation system of District
Court he has heard virtually all
types of cases.
Considerate of Others.
| 1t was with "a little satisfac-
tion," the jurist admits, that he
returned as judge to the court
where he had worked as Sec
rotary to Judge Frederick l..
Siddons before going into service
at the time of World War I.
II think that is typical of
America" he said, pointing out
that he had wanted to be a
lawyer since his youth.
His few years on the bench
have earned Judge BaStian
special reputation for considera-
ton of others. At least one law
yer receiving the news of the
recent nomination was heard to
express mixed emotions pleas.

He was in Chicago, attending
the American Bar Association
meeting and serving as chairman
of it's American Citizenship Com
mittee, when he received word
of the nomination Friday morn

AIRFIELD IMPROVEMENT

III is GOOD that the Alexander Hamilton Airport here
is to be improved, and the Governor is to be given credit
for seeing to il that this opportunity will not be lost,
IN THESE DAYS when the accent is on economic pro-
blems and the discovery Of ways to help make these Islands
self supporting it is highly important that each and every
step be taken in that direction. An improved, highly efficient
and workable airport in these Islands is essential to practical
y every phase Of life. Then there is the added advantage
which good airfields can offer in time Of conflict.
WITH TO-DAY huge commercial planes and Jet bomb
ers the demand for longer and better runways had increased
tremendously. And even the smaller planes, because Of their
greater power require larger fields than before. So we see
that ST. Thomas is looking about for ways Of improving and
e~nlarging.
AS FOR Alexander Hamilton, there is need to look to
the future. Air freight is no longer a novelty, and the day
may come when great quantities Of products will reach
these Islands is essential to practically every phase Of life.
Then there is the added advantage which good airfelds can
offer in time Of conflict.
THEN THERE is always the possibility that Alexander
Hamilton may find itself the Midway Of the Caribbean
area, with planes headed for Trinidad and South America
refueling and checking here. Much Of this IS now daae in
San Juan, but with that island a major airways center, there
may be advantages in having added facilities conveniently
close.
WE LOOK forward to work progressing rapidly, and
with its conclusion in short order. It is a great step in the
right direction.

Russia is showing more than aca-

When GenghiZ Khan, the Mongol
conouerer, hit a city or a region IL
stayed hit. They had a vivid saying
to describe the completeness or the
ruin he wrought: where the
hooves of Genghiz' horse have troo,
the grass never grows again"
This was literally true as regards
a large area in what is now Iran.
The hordes swept down upon a Ter
tile and heavily populated country.
They masSacred the inhabitants py
millions, and then withdrew; out
before withdrawing they broke down
the complicated irrigation system
by which the land was watered, ana
the handful of native survivors were
incapable of repairing it. The hordes
did not return, but the region be-
came a desert and has remained a
desert for seven hundred years. The
grass never grew again.
The Roman Campagna In the
earliest times seems to have been
a healthy and denSely populated
region, drained by an elaborate net
work of underground conduitS. But
when the rising republic over
whelmed the cities of Latium in g.
long series of wars, care OF the
drainage system was neglected and
the area became a malarial swamp,
to remain so for many centuries.
Here is contrast: In the one case
the fury of man dried up the land,
in the other case, drowned it; but
in both cases repeated wars de-
stroyed much of the lands capacity
to support human life and the dam
age endured for many generations.
In Southwest China there is a re-
gion that two centuries ago sup
ported a large population in relative
comfort, but that today consists OF
mountains of naked rock and rub
ble-f1lled valleys. Yet it was not the
hooves of Genghiz' horses that
ruined it. Repeated wars had little
if anything to do with it. The coun-
try was destroyed by the process OF
ripping away the timber and under
growth that once covered the hills,
so that transforms swept away the
soil. The folly Of man can be as
ruinouS as his fury.
Restoration Is Expensive
The Campaigns is now being
brought back to productivity by an
elaborate and expensive drainage
system. Perhaps the Iranian desert
might be restored by an even more
elaborate and expensive irrigation
system. But the mountains or
China win remain useless through
out the practicable future. One y
