New York State Thruw0y

The "pay-as-you-go" method Of financing
bridge and highway construction has chalked
up another major accomplishment with the
opening of a 115-mile section of the New York
State Thruway. This expressway, due to con-
meet New York City and Buffalo, will be close
to billion dollar project when it is completed
but, as highway of the future" nc serious
doubts are held now that it will prove to be
profitable investment in every respect.
The building of toll roads and bridges has
increased at a rapid pace in postwar years and
the New York job represents high mark in
planning and construction No stop lights, no
crossings and no grades exceeding per cent
are to be found on the divided highway, and
the speed limit is set at so miles per hour. An
estimated IS per cent of New York States
is million population lives within 20 miles Of
the thruway and its feeder-spurs. 1t is easy to
see, therefore why hackers of the project speak
of it as the new highroad for commerce and
travel between New England new Hudson
River bridge is to provide connection to Con-
necticut-and the Middle West. 1t is, also, as
President Eisenhower said in his message OF
CONGRATULATIONS to Governor Dewey, an impor-
tant contribution to the national economy and
to the national defense system.

Chief Murray Praised

Neutrality-suspicious. should support
heckle-our police department, which
is headed by one Of the outstanding
police executives Of the United States,
in its efforts to solve crimes in the
District Of Columbia. Chief Of Police
Murray has demonstrated his fair
mindedness and square dealing. both
to the public and to the men who
comprise his force, and it is not to
be doubted that he would take prompt
action in any bona flde case Of irreg-
ularity brought to his attention. His
procedures dealing with certain MEM
beers of his force who were guilty Of
irregularities are ample evidence that
he would not condone acts of brutality
or cruelty on the part Of his men in
dealing with juvenile or other suspects
or potential criminals.
Chief Murray is to be commended
for his insistence that those who al
lege brutality or cruelty must give him
complete and trustworthy informa-
ton to back up their charges as q
prerequisite to his initiating investi-
gative procedures. Regardless of
whether those involved are juveniles
or adults. Chief Murray and his force
are entitled to the support of the en-
tire community In their efforts to run
down criminals.

Military Personnel Problem

Great debates are staged in and out
of Congress about the need for more
dollars for airplanes, guns, ships, etc.
for national defense. Science daily is
increasing the technology of warfare.
The idea seems to be that wealth of
material and chronological instru-
mentation will insure the defense of
the Nation. Equipment of warfare,
however, is no better than the brains
and trained manpower which will put
it to use.
designations of seasoned career mill
tary personnel of the armed forces are
increasing; Of even more Importance,
from the long range point of view, is
the reluctance of capable and intelligent
young men to make the services ca
reer. Today, for instance. we read of
efforts being made, and rightly so, to
increase the wages of Civil Service en-
ployes. But nothing is heard of any
such plans in the interest of military
personnel. Who in the executive or
legislative branch is concerning himself
with making the services attractive for
men with families. Mere knowledge
that active efforts are being made in
regard to adequate salaries, etc., would
do much to bolster morale.

PLEDGE of Allegiance

A fact that has been lost sight OF
is that up to the year 1923 the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag was recited
in the schools of our country, II pledge
allegiance to my flag" etc. At that time
I was teaching English to adult for
eigners in settlements in Boston, and
one class had consisted Of Italian
adults. The Boston Herald published
the pledge and asked that names sign
ing it be sent in to that paper. In
teaching and explaining its meaning to
my classes, it was necessary to change
the words my flag" to ''the flag OF the
United States of America" Each of
the students learned to recite it that
way, and then each signed his name
to the printed form as changed to
meet their needs and sent to the
Herald the twenty or more slips thus
signed. The paper gave quite write-up
to the matter, sending photographer
to get a picture of my class that had
signed the pledge.
Shortly after that, the schools and
other organizations made the same
change, and it became universally used
as had initiated 1t in my class.
Incidentally, I kept in touch for
some time after left Boston with

Templeton Jones was feeling blue, so
he decided to walk home from the end
of the bus line.
It was about a mile walk, along a
winding road which has changed very
little in the past quarter of a century.
One old house along the way still
has the barred window on the second
floor. In the years that have passed
since Jones first walked there, the traf-
f1c has increased immensely, but it is
still country road, to all purposes.
And the bars are still at the window.
Years ago the walker wondered who
or what was immured there? He could
think of lonely maiden, half-mad. or
something, or an idiot boy. Poor idiot
boys, there is better UNDERSTANDING of
them today, but not much; insanity Is
still dread thing, which makes even
the parents and relatives afraid.

AS Templeton Jones walked along, he
thought of an article he had read re-
Gently. It was in a medical magazine,
and was about the evaluation OF sui
eide attempts as guides to therapy.
Medical men in recent years have
been very active in trying to stop sui
cides before they are started. It is q
great subject. and while something has
been achieved, much remains to be
done, here as elsewhere.
Templeton Jones began to grin.

We have grown from our swaddllng

Where is the courage that bled on
the beaches of Normandy. on the hot
plains of Africa, and in the sinking
iungles of the Pacific? Are we to
strangle on the blood of our own
people? Are we to run in fear from
shadows. hoping to find sanctuary in
the apathy of our own minds?
Americans, stand up and face the

Templeton Jones had been afraid to
read any more.
He thought that almost every one at
times suffers from one or more OF
these traits, and that the careless or
ignorant reader might make wrong
diagnosis. So might the careless or hur-
ried physician!
Jones laughed at his memories Of his
"maladies."
Some of the great men on earth to-
day would be put into various such
classifications.
Persons suffering from manic -depres-
sive psychosis. for instance. are likely
to be pretty wonderful people.
BY this time Jones, the walker, had
walked and thought himself into
bright mood.

was far behind him now.

haps, to know how unfailingly his
bright temperament is able to find the
honest joke, wherever it may show its
head.
Often these jokes are solely his own
reaction to some grim subject.
Jones already was beginning to cheer
UP, as he walked along. partly because
of the physical effects Of the exercise.
and partly because Of his humorous
reaction to that article.
He recalled, with widening inward
smile, how the article had said that
first the modern physician must dag
nose the patients illness as one OF the
following conditions, giving them at
some length:
Schizophrenia, dementia. manic-de-
pressive, anxiety neuroSiS, etc.
Templeton Jones found traces OF
himself in four!
Withdrawal from contact with other

Almost Too Good to Be True

News that the Senate and House at last
have approved 100000 appropriation for
beginning a flood-control project at Bladens-
burg's oft-submerged Peace Cross intersection
is almost too good to be true. Congress has
blown hot and cold on this plan for so many
wears that motorists had about given up hope
that relief ever would come. Bladensburg had
become virtually resigned to its watery fate as
an unwilling sluiceway for the recurrently
overlooking Anacostia.
The Federal appropriation not only will en-
able Army engineers to start major food
restraining operation at the junction of U. s..
Route with the Annapolis highway, but will
release more than 81 million of Maryland road
funds allotted as the States contribution to the
