Auditorium Study

WaShington'S lack of civic auditor
ium adequate to the needs of city of this
size and Importance long has been of con-
Germ to public and private interests. De-
mandS for a hall large enough to accom-
modate unusual national or local events,
such as inaugural balls, operas, expositions
and the like, have been recurrent over re-
cent years. There never has been special
study of the various problems involved in
a major project of this kind, however.
Therefore, the House has taken step in
the right direction in voting to create
21-member commission to consider the
auditorium problem.
The move is timely because of the
possibility of fitting the project into the
broad program for redevelopment of
Southwest Washington. The Zeckendorf
plan envisionS large meeting hall and
cultural center in the heart of the rebuilt
community along the water front. Sites
in other parts of Washington have been
suggested from time to time, including
one near the East Capitol Street Bridge.
More vexing than the site question is the
problem of financing so huge an undertak-
ing. Always in the past any proposal for
Federal or District financing has withered
under the drought of funds for noneSsen-
tial improvements.
Lately, however, there has been talk
Of interesting private investors in a COM
munity auditorium enterprise. There have
been reports that outside promoters have
made inquiries into the availability of suit
able sites and into economic aspects of
such plan. The proposed commission can
help to clear up the confusion over loca-
ton, sponsorship, financing and uses of
great hall for public and commercial gath
erings in the Nations Capital. Until some
authoritative information on the project
is prepared, the auditorium idea is not
likely to make much headway.

False Trends in Schools

One of your columniSts,
Dorothy Thompson, is to be
commended for the clarity of
thought expressed in a recent
article directly pegging the
main cause for illegal teen
age tantrums known as juve-
nile delinquency.
I refer to Miss Thompson's
recent column captioned
False Trends Seen in Educa-
ton" discussing the point that
Admiration For Truth Is At
All-Time Low and 'Undemo-
cratic To Growing Youth"
Of course, thinking parents
will realize that these False
Trends" are particularly glar-
ing and obvious in taX-sup-
ported public schools, some
times referred to as Brain
Laundries." The public schools
appear to be grinding an axe
for a questionable crusade via
UNESCO to transform sincere
American students into be-
fogged internationalists with
no standards of conduct, mo-
rality or national patriotism.
Thus, the public schools stand
charged at the bar of public
opinion with culpable and
sometimes tragic neglect of
their trust to give American
students sound and worth
while American education.
The National Education As
sociation appears to be Of
doubtful, if any, value to the
purpose of American public
education and in many ways
seems to have outlived its'use-
fulness. This applies also to
the rather high sounding
American Council on Educa-
ton, which has collaborated in
producing several negatively
American UNESCO handbooks.
About 10 years ago the opera
tors of NEA tried to BRAIN
wash negative Americanism
into the minds Of public school
students by their Building
America" booklets which were
denounced in the California
Legislature. These NEA wheels
have since been doing their
best to pump UNESCO into
public schools and evidently
the American Council on Ed
ucation is trudging along be-
hind.
Because nothing in the
UNESCO program appears to
promote proper or meaningful
standards of decency, moral
ity, academic learning or ma
tional patriotism, any and all
public school systems using
this program must be found
guilty of the charge stated
above. And, regardless of how
strongly NEA and some teach
ers' colleges may push UN-
ESCO, any and all teachers
eullible and insincere enough
to use that program are actu-
ally betraying their trust to
the people of their community.

Virginia Milk Prices

While householders in the
District of Columbia and near
by Maryland areas enjoy the
recently announced lower
prices for stipulated quantity
purchases of milk, both in re-
tail stores and home delivery,
the Virginia Milk Commission
protects" the consumers on
the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac by forcing the retailers to
charge minimum prices that
are some 20 cents per gallon
higher.
And for what purpose does
the commission dictate higher
prices for Virginia milk sales?
Is the milk relatively better?
Obviously not. 1t comes from
the same producers to the
same diaries and chain sys-
TENS and is sold under the
same brand names on both
sides of the river. Do the re-
tailers want the higher prices
in Virginia? On the contrary,
they have petitioned the COM
mission to lower the prices
and in at least one instance
have gone to the courts in an
attempt to force the commits
sion to relinquish its price-fix-
ing powers. Do the producers
want the excessive prices in
Virginia maintained? Appar-
emily not, since the reductions
in D. C. and Maryland prices
were not made at their ex-
pense. Do the consumers want
the higher prices? I, for one.
emphatically do not. I have
five growing children and for
the so gallons of milk they
consume each month I am
forced by an autocratic price
fixing agency of the State,
over whose actions I have no
voice, to pay an extra $40 a
month to the retailers who, in
turn. are forced by the same
agency to accept it against
their wishes. l could make
good use of that extra $120 a
year-in fact it would enable
me to meet the perennial in
crease in taxes Arlington
County will undoubtedly i'm
pose this year, as it does year
after year.
You residents of Virginia
who feel as I do, take the time

WHetop Nonsense

When Justice William o. Douglas was
called upon for proof of his statement that
thre were $4,000 official wiretaps in New
York City alone in 1852, he disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the authenticity of the f1g-
ure. That information, he said, had been
furnished him by someone else. But, he
added, II am convinced that when all the
facts are known the figures will prove to
be conservative ones"
The facts are becoming known, and
the $4,000 figure is not proving to be con-
servative one. Instead, it is being shown
to be fantastic Misrepresentation.
Frank Hogan, New York County Dis
trict Attorney, has testified that in his 13
years in office the total of wiretap orders
has been GIG, or an average of about 10 a
year. Edward E. Silver, Brooklyn District
Attorney, says that in 1852 only 480 orders
for taps were issued by the courts, and
that of these only 1888 were requested by
the police.
From this testimony, and indeed by
his own admission, it is clear that Justice
Douglas did not know what he was talking
about when he wrote that New York City
officials had obtained $4,000 wiretap orders
In a single year. If a Senator were to be
equally careless with the facts in listing,
say, the number of Communists in Gov
ernment, he would be quite properly sub
ject to rebuke as reckless and irreSpon-
sible. There would be indignant demands
that he live up to the responsibilities of
his office. Are we to expect less of a
Justice of the Supreme Court?

Views on Vaccine

The Nationwide hysterical
demand for Salk vaccine for
all pays tribute to propa-
ganda and little else. Para
lytic polio affects a small mi
nority in comparison to other
killing and manning disorders,
accidents alone, for example.
One year of evaluation of a
new vaccine is not enough.
The vaccine appears safe to
administer when properly
prepared. Assurance is needed
that every laboratory engaged
in the manufacture of the
Salk vaccine can prepare it
properly and not release liv-
ing virus by mistake. So far
as has been demonstrated, the
vaccine confers some degree
Of immunity for an undeter-
mined period Of time. The

George Kennedy's recent

Heurich mansion was most
interesting and I can supply

the identity of the architect
