dent, should like to say that we have
been advised by the District Commits
sioners that, in their opinion, they will be
able to make arrangements with other
interests for the operation of transit
system in this city. The Commissioners
are quite confident they. will be able to

Mr.. Morse: will bet you, Mr.. Presi-
dent am speaking colloquially now
that there are numerous companies which
would be willing to come into the District

chiSe arrangement with us, one which
would have as its motivating design the
serving of the people Of the District with
adequate transportation. Congressional

Horn footing Racket

There will be widespread public APP

posal for curbing automobile horntooting

prepared to go as far as some cities

urge the Traffic Advisory Council to spon-
sor strict regulation against indiscrim-
mate and unnecessary blasting of the
horn button.
Such regulation, Of course, would
be unfair to taxi drivers bent on blasting
their way through stalled traffic, to
SWANS signalling their arrival in resi-
dental areas and to husbands who i'm
patiently await completion Of their wives

be a welcome boon to jittery and noise
harassed citizens who crave reasonable
quiet, even in city. Automobile horns
should be used only in emergencies in
volving public safety. Any other use
should subject the offender to the penalty
of confinement for at least 80 days in

Important Judqeship

The elaboration with which the adj
ministration is considering the local
Juvenile Court judgeShip indicates that
Federal officials are fully cognizant Of
the importance of this appointment.
This courts responsibilities have grown
as the problem of juvenile delinquency
has increased in scope and perplexity.
The administration of justice in this
difficult field is major factor In the
community's efforts to combat the up
ward crime trend among our youth.
Great care should be taken, therefore.
In the selection Of Judge thoroughly
qualified to handle the job in a manner
that will command respect Of those
brought before the tribunal and the con-
hdence of the public at large.
Judge Edith Cockrill's term as head
of the court expired several months ago.
Under the law she will continue to serve
until reappointed, or until a successor
has been named and confirmed. Judge
Cockrill has worked energetically and
sincerely during her six years on the
bench. Devotion to duty is not, however,
the sole qualification for service on this
court. Nor Is it even necessary that the
Juvenile Court judge be woman. AS
matter of fact, the first two judges Of the
local tribunal were men. And two OF
the three persons recommended for the
judgeship by the District Bar Association
are men. We hope that Attorney General
Brownell will give this judgeship his close
personal attention, with view to In
surfing that the Districts Juvenile Court
will be presided over by the best qualified
Judge available for the post, irrespective
Of sex or politics.

Executive Reorganization

Some new advice on Government re-
organization has come from that OLD
master of Federal reform, former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover. On the basis Of his
own experience in the White House and
of his intimate knowledge of top-level
executive operations today, Mr.. Hoover
has proposed the creation Of the office OF
Administrative Vice President. 1t is UNI
wise, he holds, to impose on the President
a multitude of administrative details
which could be handled as well by a COM
petent assistant, legally deputized to act
for the Chief Executive. The proposal.
especially pertinent now, would be worth
serious consideration even II President
Eisenhower were in the best of health.
Speaking with remarkable vigor, de-
spite his 81 years, on televised meet
the Press" program, the Nations re-
spected elder statesman pointed out that
his first reorganization commission de-
plored the crushing burden" of the
presidency. Both commissions recon-
mended certain changes in the executive
establishment designed to help the Presi-
dent discharge his duties more efficiently.
But neither commission went as far as
Mr.. Hoover himself went In giving his
personal suggestion for easing the presi-
Dental task.
Mr. Hoover made 1t plain that the
new presidential assistant would in no
way impinge on the elective Office Of the
Vice President The elected Vice Presi-
dent, he said, would continue his consti-
tutional duties as presiding officer of the
Senate and would continue to aid the
President in policy matters, public rela-
lions and other fields in which Vice
Presidents have made themselves useful.
The Administrative Vice President, on the
other hand, would be authorized by Con-
gress to act for the President in numerous
departmental and other matters which,
largely by custom rather than constitu-
tional requirement, need White House
attention. Sherman Adams, presidential
"chief of staff" is limited by lack of legal
authority in what he can do to relieve
his boss Of many executive duties. It Is
encouraging to learn that the question

White House Wit?

The most interesting bit Of minor
information to come out of the White
House this week is the rumor that Presi-
dent Eisenhower is said to have said that
Governor Hartman of New York is "a
Park Avenue Truman"-a most creditable
shaft. The mere fact that the White
House didn't deny he was the source is
in itself significant in small way.
For hitherto the crusading Republic
cans have had no time for comedy. After
all, there is no evidence that st. George
en- route to the rendezvous with the
dragon stopped Off and exchanged few
wise cracks with other knights. No.
Adlai Stevenson has had things all his
own way there. Throughout the last
campaign he shot arrows into the air
and the Republicans never even looked
to see where they fell to earth. Apart
from this fresh sign that the White House
doesn't think he's the man to beat, 1t must
gall such master Of repartee that
on the one occasion that the President
chooses to be funny, his target should
be sober-sided Averell Hartman, who
disappointingly parted with demure
rejoinder that he loves being compared
with Harry Truman. Poor Adlai, no one
ever calls him anything-just an egghead,
term Unfortunately applied to his
followers
The presidential jibe may be an
isolated one, and 1t could be that this
little ripple of humor may not be con-
tagious. But 1t would be interesting II
other Republicans, ever anxious to emu
coin few phrases for the campaign.
Harold Stassen, who has been busy dis
arming everyone, may try to be witty
rather than modifying. And Senator
Knowland Of California, q man of massive
earnestness, might possibly at this very
moment be grinly polishing up epigrans.

More Than One Diamond

The least surprising event of the year
Is Senator Kefauver's announcement that
he is a candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. However, all
though thoroughly expected, his decision
to throw his hat in the ring is bound to
stir up considerable commotion within his
party For the decision plainly indicates
that Adlai Stevenson, who is generally
regarded as the front-running man in
this pictlve, must now reckon with a
formidable challenge that could con-
ceivably-though improbably-be his
undoing.
Senator Monroney Of Oklahoma has
summed up the situation rather pi-
quantity. AS he has put 1t, Democrats
like to look at more than one diamond
in the showcase. We have lot Of good
men, and I think the best one-Mr.
Stevenson-will win the nomination"
But MIR. Kefauver of Tennessee, with or
without his coonskin cap, can be counted
upon to do his best to demonstrate that
he is the outstanding gem Of his party,
with more vote-getting carats than any
body else, including particularly the front
runner from Illinois. And to prove his
point he has declared himself ready-as
a peoples candidate"-to enter as many
State primaries as he can, depending
largely on how much money he is able to
collect for campaigning purposes.
In the Democratic jewelry box, Of
course, there is no more glittering dia-
mond than Mr.. Stevenson, who has
already committed himself to test the
magnitude of his caratS in no fewer than
five primaries-in California, Florida,
Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Illinois
Mr.. Kefauver, In announcing his alto
gether nonsurprising availability for the
presidential nomination Eat the moment
he spurns the idea of running for any,
thing elSe), has pinned himself down to
only one direct contest-in the politically
unpredictable Golden State-between
himself and the titular head of his party.
But the chances are that he will seek the
same sort of head-on clash In a few other
places, and 1t is just barely possible that
he will come out on top in some Of them
an eventuality that could gravely under
mine Mr.. Stevenson's position at the ma
tional convention in August.
But Messrs. Stevenson and Kefauver
are not the only Democratic diamonds
vying against each other. To be sure,
they are the "mosteSt'' at the moment,
but there are also Governors Lausche of
Ohio and Hartman of New York, and
there are others-such as Mennen Will
liams OF Michigan-who have some, II not
much, potential political glitter BY way
of contrast, with President Eisenhower
still bordering the question Of whether
or not to run again, the Republican
jewelry box seems to be In shadow, and
this is thing that can hardly fail to
have an effect on the American electorate.
