otherwise lacking in the tram
sit crisis and surprising even
the craftsmanship to which we
are accustomed.
In addition to the debt Of
gratitude which President Eli
senhower so rightly said we
owe members of the Metropol-
itan Police Department, I hope
we. can find some way to pay
them more money and some
other fringe benefits" for
which it is the privilege Of the
transit workers to strike.
Let's pay them for their

them a substantial bonus for

For 30 years I have been q
resident Of Washington. but
five years ago, after my hus-
bands death, I moved to Prince
Georges County, from which
place I drive in each day dur
ing this strike. My trip takes
me to the main Navy Building.
Along the route both going and
coming I am able to observe
Washington's efficient police
force handling the tremendous
traffic problem at this time.
They should be given some
award in recognition Of their
loyalty and wonderful per-
formance of duty in the hot
sun and under adverse condi-
tions.
c. L. M.
Our Metropolitan Police
force deserves a hearty vote of
thanks and congratulations
for the orderly and efficient
way they have handled the
present traffic problems. I am
sure speak for many District
and suburban residents when I
extend these warm thanks.

AS one who shares in WASH
ington's gratitude for the
superb job our policemen are
doing in the transit strike, I'd
like to offer two suggestions
for making their work a little
less grueling:
Cd To the Commissioner of
Police: Why do the men have
to wear those hot. long -sleeved
shirts? Couldn't they wear
light. short-sleeved ones while
they're doing traffic work in
this miserable heat?
(2) To the public: Have you
thought of carrying a glass of
fruit juice. a coke, or even
plain cold water to the officer
on the corner? That's thirsty
work he's doing. He'll be
grateful.
Lucia Lhamon.
As a native Washingtonian
and an area citizen all my life,
I have never observed a more
effective operation by any mu-
nicipal agency than the very
efficient job the Metropolitan
policemen have done, and are
still doing, in expediting and
moving traffic during the bus
and streetcar strike. The per-
formance is proof that the hui
man brain and eyes are far
superior to mechanical devices
for controlling traffic, in that
an officer can appraise the
competing traffic demand at
important street intersections.
An accomplishment such as
this only goes to prove again
that our municipal govern
ment is organized to meet 10
cal emergencies as they arise.
without ostentation and fan
fare.

Government opinion is that the
time is approaching when there
will be no room in the country
areas for Africans who do not stay
and make their living there. The
country will be "owned" by indi-
viduals, each with a stake in the
land and jealous of his own pro-
prietary rights. The government
envisages the advent of a new sta
bility in the lives of the Africans,
who will be town dwellers or coun-
try dwellers but not both.
The tribalized African system
of shifting agriculture is held ba-
sically destructive, and land de-
terioration has been so serious that
officials have warned Of famine.
Production Scars
Some individual African farm
ers in the colony's native purchase
areas are already providing heart
ening examples of what ownership
can do. Good homes have been
built, and production has rocketed.
With the African shut off from
his communal lands, it is held that
