of Mr.. Snelson, still wearing a cast from
the accident, wept when she heard the
courts decision. Fortunately, Judge
Bazile's concept of justice in this case
is contrary to that which prevails In
many other Virginia courts. Most judges
and safety authorities hold that only
stern penalties will curb drunken driving
and other recklessness on the public
highways. Certainly. on the basis OF
published reports, 1t Is hard to imagine
circumstances in which stern justice
would have been more deserved than In

The implications OF the breakdown
OF the radar-warning screen during "op-
Grafton Sagebrush" maneuvers In the
South are so serious as TO justify recon
sideration OF our whole continental de-
fense program. The radar network sup
posed to alert and protect the defending
Army and Air Force contingents during
the 10-State war games was basically
similar to the DEW" distant Early
Warning) system which we are building
at great cost to alert and protect Canada
and the United States against an aggres-
sor. Yet the radar screen was quickly
put out Of commission by "jamming"
I technique. Theoretically, about 30 per
cent of the defense,b ,bases we're destroyed
by enemy bombers.
One observer, a civilian electronics
expert, told The Stars military reporter,
John Al. Giles, that until we solve the
jamming problem the air defense system
may be worthless" Undoubtedly our
military and civilian technicians are
working on the problem, for they must
have known before the n1aneuvers that
a new type of radar jamming had been
devised and was practicable. While de-
tails of the janrning process were with
held for security reasons, the invader"
bombers apparently directed powerful
electronic waves at the radar stations,
SO distorting the radar reception as to
render 1t useless in tracking airplanes.
In the wake of this defense confusion
many enemy planes slipped through to
key targets in the 10 States and, presum-
ably, wiped them out with atomic bombs
Half of the defenders aerial interception
forces were destroyed before they could
get into the air.
Janlming. Of radar was first tried with
some success by the British In World War
II, using the simple method Of dropping
streamers Of aluminium foil to disrupt
radar search operations. However, ac-
cording to reports from maneuver head
quarters In Louisiana, an entirely new
jamming technique was used by the "in-
yaders." It would be foolhardy to assume
that other nations do not have similar
equipment. If they have. the elaborate
radar defenses which we have been build-
ing across the northern part Of the cor1ti-
nent and even far out at sea, with the
help OF Texas towers" may. indeed, be
worthless Certainly, their value will be
questionable until we develop some
counterfneasures to defeat the jainnning'

Odd Concept Of Justice

How many people does q drunk
driver have to kill for Judge Leon M
Bazile, of Hanover County Circuit Court,
to send him to jail2" asks the Richmond
Times-D Dispatch In an editorial The
query seems to be a pertinent one, in
view of the amazing leniency which the
! Virginia circuit Judge displayed In the
case Of an intoxicated driver convicted
IN the killing Of man and his two small
children last January.
sa The l1ead-on crash occurred near
Montpelier, Virginia, when car driven
By Roy M Tuttle veered into the wrong
lane and smashed into an automobile in
which John M Snelson and his family
were riding, according to the testimony.
Last April Tuttle pleaded guilty to in-
voluntary manslaughter before Judge
Bazile. After commenting that "this Is
not case in which society or the ac-
cused would be benefited by putting the
accused In the penitentiary," the Judge
gave TuttIe suspended sentence Of two
years The state prosecuted Tuttle also
on drunken driving charges. He was
convicted before Trial Justice Landran,
who sentenced him to serve 30 days IN
IAN and pay $3.50 fne. Tuttle's appeal
to the circuit court brought him again
before Judge Bazile, who eliminated the
jail sentence and reduced the fine to
500. The Judge said: Il know men In
prison usually come out worse than they
went In"
The commemorative attorney had
told the court he regarded the circum-
stances OF this case Nas fragrant and
tragic as any have ever handled, = add
ing that If he did not ask for . jail

Psychiotry in Brief

special reference to a complete

1t would seem that In the city

Intellectual Chaos

The recent suggestion Of the
executive secretary Of the Ma
tional Education Association
that educational theory. meth
DDS and curriculum are not
suitable matters for the COM
ing White House conference
reveals q lack Of responsibility
among educational admins
traitors toward the American
taxpayers.
Granted that more money Is
needed for an adequate educa-
tional system. there is still
need to inquire whether the
billions even now being spent
for education are used to best
example.
AS a parent, I shall be great
ly disappointed in the confer
ence II 1t does not reveal
something Of the intellectual
chaos resulting from arbitrary
substitution Of picture guess

OF mathematics and the
sciences by survey and snap

Too Much Secrecyo on Transit

! - The Board of Trades membership
luncheon meeting with Chairman Hayes
and Public Utilities Commissioner Weston
was enlightening although the results
t~were negative.
1t brought from Chairman Hayes,
speaking for the p. U. c., q carefully
Morded admission Of failure thus far to
nnd an operator with an acceptable offer
20 take over mass transit facilities next
August, coupled with another expression
Of hope that something may yet be worked
out. There was marked absence, however,
Of the bubbling official optimism Of last
summer regarding the availability OF
private operators anxious to take the.
place of Wolfson and company after the
latter were run out Of town.
We continue to hope that private
operator, will be found. We have no
quarrel with the p U. C. for leaving the
door open for further discussion, although
one Of the things that slips through an
open door Is time, and time is running
out. But there is justifable apprehension
ever the possibilities inherent in the policy
of deep secrecy which continues to mark
the negotiations of the p. U. G. with pros
pective, or prospecting, private operators.
OF course the P. U. C. is correct In
declining to reveal at this time the
identity and financial capabilities Of those
who are angling for a franchise. OF
course these anglers are within their
rights In seeking such protection until
one OF them is singled out as the group
with which the P. U. 9. Is willing to- do
business. The P. u Css mistake, In our
opinion, is In refusing to spread publicly
on the record the conditions which must
be met by any applicant for a franchise,
and to make public the concessions that
the P. U. C. is willing to recommend to
Congress as inducements to private
operator.
To make such things known to the
public is commonly accepted principle
when government agencies ask bids from
private interests. In so far as the public
Is concerned, the principle has been
ignored In looking for transit operator.
That is particularly unfortunate in the
present circumstances The P. U. c. and
the Commissioners put themselves on the
spot through inept handling OF the transit
strike last summer They have an under
standabIe urge to be taken of the spot
by private operator willing and able
to invest the millions which will be re-
aruired to take over public transit In
Washington.
e There Is thus created an atmosphere
which Is not conducive to protection, In
secret negotiations, of the vital public
interest at stake. For that reason alone,
the r. u. c. should make known In all
candor what 1t requires Of an operator,
sAnd what the operator may expect from
kthe p. U. c. and the Commissioners IN
return. There is no legitimate excuse
FOR withholding such details from the
apublic.

THE CANE OF POLITICS
VIII Stevenson Be Funny or Serious?
By FRANK R. KEN

it is argued, think the presi-
dency is q serious job and they
do not want In the White
House a funny man surrounded
by smart alecks.
To this end they are urging
him to keep in the background
the Steve Mitchells and Paul
Buffers. who seem so congenial
and devoted, and put the STRAIT
egy and management of his
campaign in the hands Of the
Jake Arveys. the Jim Finne-
gans and other professors Of
practical politics who really
know the score. A certain
number Of "eggheads," they
say, is all right and perhaps
to be desired. But to have the
"egghead" flavor too pro-
nounced and too powerful Is
poor stuff for q presidential
candidate, either before or
after nomination. Also, they
insist that "wisecracks" from
the candidate are Intellectual
and out Of place. Let some
body else make them.
Good at Compromising
As between these widely di-
Vergent views, it can be seen
that Mr.. Stevenson's chances
Of q placid ride from now on
are not very good. He viii, Of
course, compromise, at which
he Is very good, indeed. Al
ready, he has named Mr.. Fin
negan as his campaign man
ager, but at the same time
designated Hyman Raskin,
Stephen Mitchell and Wilson
Wyatt as advisers" It win be
interesting to watch Mr.. Ste
venson play these opposing
forces 30 as to keep both salts
ned. It IL, Of course, vital to
him to keep his reputation a.
q man OF independence and
principle"
This was somewhat damaged
by his subservient yielding to
the labor bosses in 1852 and
his recent Weaseling on the
farm problem. about which he
avoided taking q firm stand
but did demonstrate that he
personally knew little about
the basic problem. His practi-
cal political friends enjoy i1av-
ing him propagandized as a
man of principle" but they
don't want this principle busi-
ness carried too far. In light
Of his labor shift in the last
campaign and his present
vagueness on the farm problem.
1t does seem that they need not
worry too much.

Nothing matters but caring"
Always the dimensions Of our
care measure our real stature.
How far does our care reach?
That is the acid test. Care
that is really Christian has
elasticity enough to stretch

as far as Indiana but snaps
long before 1t touches India Is

.Surfucine q Bridge

A bit Of Yankee ingenuity
was mentioned in The Star
on November 8, 1905. in a
report on the new Highway
Bridge, rapidly nearing COM
pletion. "The contractors en-
gagged in laying the asphalt
base on the roadway of the
new Highway Bridge have
adopted q novel method for
the quick and labor-saving
way of handling the material
In preparation for laying 1t on
the bridge flooring" The Star
said. 1.-THE hot asphalt is
mixed ut the plant Of the
paving company at George
town. and. ready to be laid
down, is loaded on carts. The
carts are placed on q big scow
and In tow of the tug william
H. Mohler are taken to the
new bridge. There q big crane
takes the wagons and their
contents and one by one they
are hoisted upon the bridge
and dumped on the spot
wanted. The wagons are then
lowered 10 the scow and are
