Settlement In Tokyo

An unhappy incident has been brought
to formal and mutually satisfactory close
with the agreement Just reached In Tokyo
on claims filed against the United States
as a result of injuries and damages suffered
by sJapanese citizens during last years
hydrogen-bomb tests In the Pacific.
The injuries and damages occurred
when radioactive debris fell on % Japanese
fishermen operating in a deep-sea area that
was thought to be at safe distance from
our Eniwetok- Bikini proving ground. Actu-.
ally, under normal circumstances, they
would have been well out of the danger
zone, but an unexpected shift In the wind
carried the "fall-out" to them, and one Of
them subsequently died-apparently from
radiation sickness, though some experts
have expressed doubt as to that.
It is primarily to compensate these men
and their families, and to cover the costs of
the Japanese fishing catches that were de-
stroyed at the time because Of a suspicion
of radioactive contamination, that the
United States has now agreed with the
Tokyo government to settle all claims lin,
full" with payment of 50 million. AS our
note has put it, the chief significance Of
the payment is that It constitutes IAN adj
ditional expression" of our country's re-
peated declarations of deep concern and
sincere regret" over the whole incident-an
incident that the Communists have grossly
distorted and exploited for anti-American
propaganda purposes.
At the same time, our note has made
point OF declaring that the settlement has
been reached without reference to the
question of legal liability" In other words,
the mere fact Of this agreement does not
mean that the United States considers itself
responsible for all accidental damages or
"acts of God" that may occur during Amer
lean thermonuclear experiments conducted
under appropriate safeguards that now are
likely to be more elaborate than ever.
In any event. with the Soviet Union
busily intent upon staging similar tests, the
United States must continue to conduct its
H-bomb experiments as long as they are
essential to the security Of the free world.
Meanwhile. the Japanese and all others
concerned can be sure that extra-special
precautions will be taken to prevent rep
etition of what happened last year.

De Luxe Committing

It will be. interesting to watch Develop
nnents in Capital Transit's latest plan for
stimulating business. The company, en-
couraged by successful experiment by
Cincinnati bus line, has announced its will
ingness TO undertake de luxe CLUB" bus
service between Chevy Chase and the down.
town district-at extra cost. Reserved seats
and club-car-like camaraderie are among
the attractions to be held out In descrip-
tive brochure.
The plan provides for monthly charge
Of SIS on a fat-rate basis. Figuring an
average Of 81 work days to month, the
cost will break down to about IS cents for
the 12-mile bus ride-15 cents above the
regular fare. Several years ago the COM
.pany tried out a premium-fare express serv-
ice, but declining patronage led to discon-
tinuance of the enterprise. Now, however,
such program should have more appeal.
Increasing congestion inside the buses, with
even standing room unavailable at times
during rush hours has driven many riders
back to their automobiles-only to be con-
fronted with harassing traffic congestion on
the main north-south routes and reduced
parking space in the business section.
Under the circumstances, Capital Tran
sit may f1nd its latest express-bus plan more
popular than its first attempt. Not that the
company can guarantee any great saving
In time for the trip. An express bus can
go only so fast on congested Connecticut
avenue. But, as the company will explain
in friendly letter to prospective customers,
one at least can relax in reserved seat,
smoke or even "catch up with little of the
sleep you lost the night before" while others
stand and suffer during the long ride to
office or back home. That is an outlook that
ought to appeal to many Chevy Chase COM
muters. -'

Met This Type2

Law-Ahiding Citizen wrote dispar-
agingly about "Hornblowers Here is
something would like to add on this
subject.
To drive In Washington, q man needs
three things: Nerve. push. and horn.

enough nerve, he can get along without
push; II he has enough push, he can

withoutsa good loud horn, he has more
nerve and push than is good for him.
In Washington, there are many oc-
casions when blowing the horn is
essential These are:
When you see another car.
When you see pedestrian.
When you see anything in the road.
When you come to an intersection.
When you are in an intersection.
When you leave an intersection.
When you have driven awhile with
out seeing an intersection.
When you come to q place where it
looks as If there should be an inter-
section.
When your nerve or push get to the
point of being too much for you.
Blowing the horn at any other time
should be penal offense.
AS for when pedestrians are trying
to cross 'at an intersection, the thing
to do is to speed up and blow the horn.
Here is where some drivers make their
mistake. They slow down. It cannot be

LEGATION Of this article, attended by the

also your representative resulted In
unanimous expression of resentment.
Unfortunately, your paper did not re-

Suffce it to say. however. those present
all feel that there must be more behind
your insult than mere removal Of q
building that Is not an eyesore and
which has so magnificentIy served q
most useful purpose for veterans these
past nine years.
Recognizing the fact that there are
many more unsightly temporary struc-
lures belonging to the Federal Govern
ment, the question arises as to why
you should place so much emphasis on
this very necessary function Of the
District government. The leaders Of
the veterans group have no hesitancy
in stating that they believe there is
an Interior motive, and 1t is not merely
to clear up the site. Can it be that
you have in mind to make an effort
to abolish the Service Center? Possibly
you have in mind to remove the CEN
ter activities so that the Board of
Trade or its affiliate, the GNCC. may
use the building. We are all mindful
Of the fact that the GNCC was inter-
ested in the building short time ago.
If there is "grimy" appearance to
the front OF the District Building, that
is basis for unfayorable criticism. How
ever. to link the Service Center with
that criticism is criminal You knew.

all attempts to remove the present

Airport Situation

The recent report on operations Of

two things: First, the airport has been
elf-sufhcient or supporting and at q
profit. Second, the increase in air
travel into this most important city
in the world today has created prob
lem past the acute stage with respect
to incoming and outgoing planes.
Despite the recognized need for larger
airport facilities. there still is battle
Of selfish interests which prevents the
Capital from acquiring q suitable tract
for its much-needed enlarged airport
facilities. The Maryland Baltimore
Friendship airport supporters have sur
rendered. What are the other forces
at work? Representative Broyhill has
offered suggestion to use Andrews
Field-a fine suggestion.
Why not develop Andrews Field as
an auxiliary to our present National
Airport? Then use the Burke site for
Andrews Field. thus keeping Andrews
Field In the Capital area and using the
present Andrews Field as supplement
to the National Airport. This would
give the Capital facilities for future

oSeries Opening Tonight
NAV Give A. L. Pennant Clue
Four Contenders
Clash; White Sox
Hope to Profit
BY the Associated Press

A couple of three-game series
opening tonight in New York
and Cleveland might we'll be the
beginning of the end for two
teams among the five contenders
in the American Leagues fren-
zied pennant race, its highest in
many years.
Holding the top spot in general
interest is the series at New
York's Yankee Stadium, where
the confident Red Sox, who seem
to be the peoples choice nation
ally, go against the Keeling
Yankees. who have won only IL
of their last "a games for a 1853
mark. That's worse than the
season percentage of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, the National
Leagues tail-enders.
Willard Nixon, who has beaten
the Yankees three times in four
starts this season, is due to start
for the Red Sox against Whitley
Ford, Casey Stengels best left
handler. Nixon has a lifetime
record of To against New York.
Score VS.. Carver
Going into the big series, the
Yankees are in second place, just
three percentage points behind
the Chicago White Sox. Third
place Cleveland is half a game
behind, with Boston a game and
a half back of the leaders.
Detroit, in fifth place, is 512
games off the pace.
In Cleveland tonight, there
will be another battle of con-
tenders, with the Tigers going
against the Indians. Ned Carver,
veteran Highlander whose win
ming streak ended in Boston on
the last Eastern trip, is to start
for Detroit against Herb Score,
the Indians fireballing south
paw of strikeout fame.
Meanwhile. the leading White
Sox are in Kansas City and have
a chance to pull away some at
the expense of the sixth-place
Athletics. The AS, however, have
been pretty tough to handle
recently, having just taken two
out of three from the Red Sox
in their own Fenway Park. Billy
Pierce is slated to pitch for the
White Sox against Bobby Shantz.
Recently, it's been a strange
case of contented contenders,
with second-division clubs giving
them fits. Now the situation
rules out such foolishness. The
schedule puts on the squeeze and
something's got to give.
