Reflective Strip
Job Is Completed

With the new stripping Of Route
95 from Quartzsite to Yuma COM
pleted by the state highway de-
partment, all roads in the state
highway system now have reflec-
tive stripe that is as bright at night
as in the daytime, ana recognized
as safety factor to motorists.
Expanding suburban growth of
cities extending along state high
ways has also kept stripping crews
busy placing and marking new
cross walks, islands, divisional
lanes, and school crossings. In ad-
dition to middle of the road strip
ing the department, during the last
nine months, has placed the follow
ing pavement markings: Railroad,
81; crosswalks, 1887; school cross
ings, 80; passing bays, 2; islands,
AZ; bridge, Al; signal installations,
rs; stops, 43; stop bars 789; zig
zags 39, and inspection stations, 5;
plus So blocks of parking and 1881
feet of curb markings.
Marking point and reflectorizing
beads used in these projects cost
approximately $4,000.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD We
have come today to eat crow. We
have been extremely critical of
Walter Aston and his highland
ed methods of dealing with the
Brooklyn Buns" We have said
many times that his more or less
rough approach simply would not
do, that it did something to under
mine the confidence of the player
and made him insecure, because he
never knew when his job was safe.
However, in 10 the case of Don
Newcombe, who is once again be-
ing called one of Brooklyn's star
hurlers, the treatment was sue
cessful. For some time there had
been a tendency to play along with
Don and coddle him. They knew he
had the stuff, and the fact that
he wasn't pouring it on was some-
thing of a puzzle. Then, Mr.. Aston
seems to have come up with the
proper treatment. He delivered the
crushing blow to the NewcomDe
ego. He had the champ pitching
batting practice.
Well, Newk got mad, all right.

Sports Closeup

He was no batting practice pitcher,
he said. He wanted to start games.
He said so, and refused to fit into
the groove. Of course, he needed
discipline for that one, and he got
it. But the fact that he was mad,
also was impressive, apparently,
and he got "a chance to prove
whether or not he was ready once
again to start games" He started
one on May 10, 1855, against the
Chicago Cubs. He finished it, too.
He pitched one-hitter and faced
only II men. This is a feat not
many pitchers can boast.
So now, with a good shut-out as
the kickoff, maybe Don New
combe is on his way to becoming
the pitcher he once was. And all
because Mr.. Aston, one time any
how, hit on the right prescription.

When you are color-shooting

want to be more careful than
usual about the sunniness of the
day. You'll find that the best color
quality is obtained outdoors in
bright or hazy sunlight, with
shadows kept soft yet full of de-
tail. ,
Your best effect will come from
soft lighting-behind you and full
on the subject - without the
strong contrasts of light and
shade that make for deep harsh
shadows. Let the contrasts Of
color take the place of contra&-
ing light and shade, and look for
simple backgrounds, preferably in
cool colors like blue and green.
Also, remember that your best
time for shooting is after the sun
has been up for several hours or
in the mid-afternoon about two
hours before sunset.

wise, why don't you shoot in color
this spring? Try it, and you'll be

Mississippi Acquitted

There is ample room for difference
Of opinion concerning the jury verdict
which freed two Mississippi white men
charged with the murder OF Emmett Till,
14-year-old Negro boy.
THE jury foreman said that three
ballots were taken before the acquittal,
and that the thing which swung the
decision was doubt that the body taken
from the river was actually that Of the
missing boy. On this point there was
a conflict Of testimony and opinions will
differ.
II one may Judge from the press
reports, however, the prosecution was
conducted with vigor and no favoritism
was shown the defendants in the rulings

factors which form the essence Of fair
trial, and 1t is to be hoped that they

cused men are brought into court on

Research Triumph

research SO very important" Not In Q
long time has there been more impress

In this particular instance. the re-
search had its inception some years ago
when young scientist named Richard 7.
Whitcomb joined the staff Of the labora-
tory operated at Langley Field, Virginia,
by the National Advisory Committee on
Aeronautics. Mr.. Whitcomb, who is now

Until now, although they have been
available on classified basis to our avi-
alton industry since September, 1852, Mr..
Whitcomb's findings have been subjected
to exceptionally strict security precau-
tions, and presumably the NACA has re-
vealed them at this date only because
other countries have acquired full knowl-
edge Of the principle involved. It is q

Controversial Report

The Commissioners have received

that the report prepared by Consultant

All Of these changes, Of course, would
tend to restrict downtown redevelopment

that trade and building groups already

Argentine in Transition

After q decade of repressive rule

difiicult period of social, political and
economic readjustment. An suspicious

not going to be easy. and IL he is to
succeed In It, he viii have to have the
unstinting cooperation Of every friend
Of liberty at home and abroad.
This Is so because President Lonardi,
who plans to hold national elections at
the earliest practicable date, must reckon
with home-front forces that could keep
Argentina In turmoil for months to come
These forces forces Of hate-breeding
division and class-against- cIass disunity

extraordinary action to repair the grave
economic damage reflected In declining

that has been caused by reckless Peron-

Quite obviously, In such circum-

that the Argentine people are now out
Of the woods and have nothing more to
worry about. Actually. despite their
great advance In putting Peron to flight,
they are still faced with enormous prob
lens Of the most complex kind, and per-
haps the hardest Of these is the problem
Of regaining their spirit and drive as
united nation. But President Lonardi
and his government seem acutely aware
Of this, and there Is good reason to hope
that they win succeed In putting the
country back on Its feet as leader
among the free republics Of the Western
Hemisphere. Certainly their efforts to
that end should have the fullest support
Of the United States.

Sewage in Foirfox

The Fairfax County Board OF Super
visors is on the right track in asking for
a study Of the problem Of pollution in
Fairfax streams. The boards modest
idea Is to see whether 1t really is neces-
sary to make every stream in the county
serve as conduit for conveying sewage
from treatment plants to the Potomac
River.
In carrying out this study, the County
Planning Commission may want to set It's
sights little higher, even. There are
two points that ought to be borne In mind.
First, the modern, sanitary way>of carry
ing treated sewage to It's destination In
the river is in pipes. Piping costs more,
Of course, but 1t makes for clean streams.
In the second place, the time is COM
ing fast when Fairfax win have to con-
slider another step forward: Moving to
dispose Of its sewage In one efficient,
consolidated operation, as other COM
munities In the area already are trying
to do. The Fairfax planners should look
ahead to this time. The reason so many
Of the county's streams are being de-
spoiled Is that small sewage treatment
plants are popping up with each new
community. II there were one large plant
for Fairfax instead Of many small ones,
the question now vexing the county
officials would not exist.
Some day, the sewage problem Of this
entire Metropolitan Area will have to
be dealt with as whole. For 1t Is one
problem. Meanwhile, though, gain Is

It is o sickening realization
that many Of our American
rivers have been gradually
changed from peIlucid streams
to putrid sewers. That con-
tamination can happen moral
ly to the land through which
