Neglected Stream

Rock Creek sorely needs the protection
which special council plans to give 1t. The
deterioration of this stream over the years
from sparkling, clear Potomac tributary
to what Federal conservationiSt aptly
termed "foul-smelling, mud-laden, debris
choked watercourse" Is the result Of shame
full neglect. The blame rests on all juris-
dictionS sharing in the control, as we'll as
the benefits, of the beautiful watershed
When Rock Creek Park became a ma
tional reservation in 1890, the creek was in
a wild state, virtually uncontaminated by
sewage or SILT Many of it's pools were safe
swimming places for children of the COM
munity. Generations of residents and visi-
tors had enjoyed its meanderings and its
forested banks. Robert Fulton repeatedly
tried out his model steamboat there. John
Burroughs and Joaquin Miller tramped
along it's hillsides. How time and progress"
have changed the old stream! Residential
subdivisions have encroached close to it's
waters creating erosion problems that still
send tons of silt downstream with every
freshet. Sewer lines along the creek have
become overloaded, spilling raw sewage into
the stream and forcing the closing of rec
reational areas for long periods. Only last

to take care of the recurrent overflows. Silt
from Rock Creek has impeded navigation in
the Potomac and kept channel dredges busy
in recent years.
The Rock Greek watershed offers typical
examples of the pollution and silt problems
being studied by the National Watershed
Congress, in session here, and by such or
CARNATIONS as the Interstate Commission
on the Potomac River Basin. The new coun-
Gil for the preservation of Rock Creek is, in
fact, an offshoot of the latter commission.
The twin goals of the council will be the
elimination of sewage and silt from Rock
Creek and the development of the entire
park for recreational purposes. 1t is big
undertaking that cannot possibly be sue
cessful without the cooperation of all juriS-
dictions in the watershed The councils
efforts to secure this cooperation deserve
the support of every one interested in saving
Rock Creek from further deterioration.

Properly Qualified Man.

civilian committee which earlier had drafted
program for State Department-Foreign
Service reorganization and indignation
added a recommendation that the top
administrative officer in the department
be properly qualified man who can come

been designated in President Eisenhower's
nomination of 10y W. Henderson, veteran
career diplomat, to be Deputy UMdersec-
rotary of State for Administration. Mr..
Henderson, United States Ambassador to
Iran for the past three years, will succeed
Charles E. Saltzman, who has been serving
as Deputy Undersecretary with the under
standing that he wished to return to private
life by the end of this year.
Mr. Henderson was appointed to the
Foreign Service in 1922 and has served in
many parts of the world since them His
greatest experience, however, has been in
that sensitive crescent of the globe stretch
ing from the Baltic Sea through the Middle
East into South Asia. Before becoming
Ambassador to India in 1948, he had served
in all three of the Baltic capitals and twice
in the Embassy in Moscow. In 1851, Mr..
Henderson went to Iran as Ambassador and
his patient and painstaking efforts have
been credited in large part for the settle
ment last summer of the Anglo Iranian oil
dispute.

tons for his new post is the experience

baltimore Case

Your editorial of November 26 on the
affidavit of prejudice in the baltimore
case appears to be based on misun-
a misunderstanding SO serious as to
undermine completely the releVance of
your argument.
Quoting from a 1885 opinion of the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, you
make the point that the United States
as a party litigant to criminal prose-
cutions has a clear right to file an
affidavit of prejudice against a judge
in any case in which the facts appear
to justify such action. With this posi-
ton no lawyer would disagree. When
you go on, however, to imply that the
'sextravagant criticism" of the decision
to file the affidavit was therefore un-
justified, you ignore the clearly stated
basis for that criticism. The many
lawyers and other thoughtful persons
who were disturbed by the Govern
ment's action in filing the affidavit.
were not challenging the right of the
Government to do SO in an appropriate
case. Their complaint was that the
baltimore case was not an appropriate
case and that this was apparent even
on the face of the affidavit itself.
Obviously, the rules that govern such
affidavits must be the same for the
United States as they are for all other
litigantS. Those rules are relatively
simple and easy to understand. AS
the Supreme Court made clear over 40
years ago, an affidavit of prejudice was
never intended to enable disconnected
litigant to GUST judge because Of ad-
verse rulings made" The device was
intended only for cases in which ''the
affiant is able to state facts which tend
to show not merely adverse rulings
already made, which may be right or
wrong, but facts and reasons which
tend to show personal bias or prejudice"
In the baltimore case the entire
thrust of the affidavit was that Judge
Youngdahl should remove himself from
the case because of previous rulings he
had made In it. The fact that the
affiant included in his affidavit a sworn
statement of his personal opinion that
Judge Youngdahl was biased, could not
of course remedy the basic defect in the
affidavit, which was that the only

an indication of such bias were the
judges expressed view of the law APP
splicable. It is because the affidavit fell
go far short Of elementary requirements
that it was stricken as scandalous, a
reprimand from which the Government
(. wisely decided not to- appeal.
IT is to the absence of any color OF
foundation for the affidavit that the
criticism has been directed, and If 1t
has been "extravagant" it may be as
sumed that it is because this extreme
and unprecedented step was taken in a
cause celebre in which the charges of
the United States attorney backed by
the Department of Justice, were so
widely reported in newspaper headlines
all over the United States. Such mis-
take In such a case has tremendous

The modern sun worshiper belongs
to the suntan cult, as it is called today.
Autumn means more than just the
fall of leaves to him. It means q lack

things he may do. He may go South,
If he has the money, and he may buy
a sunlamp. Both have their uses, and
both their drawbacks.
Mostly, the local suntan enthusi-
asts simply lament the lack Of sun

The sun that remains (and how good

West Berlin Votes

While the West Berlin elections are sub
ject to varying interpretations, the net re-
suit should be considered broadly encourag-
ing to the free world
For example, in city-wide election in
1946 the Communist Party polled 1877 per
cent Of the West Berlin votes. In the years
since, the Reds officially have boycotted all
election tests In the western sector of the
city until deciding to allow their followers
to bid this year for Office in the unicameral
legislature. Although hundreds of East Ber-
lin Communist agents were known to be in
the western sector during the final two
weeks Of the campaigning, the party polled
only 2.7 per cent Of the Sunday votes In
order to reduce the influence of splinter
parties, the West German and West Berlin
election laws require that party must poll
at least 5 per cent of total vote In order
to claim any seats in the legislative bodies
The result, in this case, merely records the
weakness Of the Communist cause in the
free part of Berlin.
At first glance, however, the fact that
the anti-rearmament Social Democratic
Party recaptured the mayoralty might be
considered setback to the cause of collec-
tive security in the West. Fortunately, even
this conclusion does not stand successfully
the test Of analysis of the votes For the
Social Democrats, although the strongest
single party in West Berlin, have been losing
ground steadily since 1946. In 1948, for
example, they polled 64.5 per cent of the
total vote and in 1850 they were down to
AT per cent. In the voting last Sunday
they were down to A per cent. Meanwhile,
the Christian Democratic Party of Chancel-
lor ACCOMPLISHMENTS supporters of re-
armament within the Western alliance
have moved up from 1914 per cent of the
West Berlin vote in 1913 to 246 per cent in
1850 and 30 per cent in 1854
When Mayor Ernst Reuter- Socialist,
died last year the West Berlin city council
named Dr. Walter Schneider, Christian Dem
ocrat, to succeed him pending this years
general election. DR.. Schneider has gov
erned since through coalition of the three
major parties, joined in their anti Commu-
mist feeling even while differing on other
matters. DR.. Otto Suhr, slated now to be-
come the Socialist Mayor already has in
Dictated that he favorS the continuance of
coalition administration under the nearby
threat of Communist pressures. It would
appear, therefore, that the West may feel
confident that its outpost municipality with

refusal to recognize and seat this fic-

time to blockade the entire China

The blockade, I am convinced. re-
