Uncontrolled Trailer Parks

Controversy over trailer parks in
Fairfax County has brought to public at
tention glaring lack of county authority
to regulate such enterprises. There are
coming controls with respect to location
of the tourist Ravens, but, once estab-
lished, the county has little or no power
to regulate their development and opera
ton.
The demand for adoption Of a county
ordinance governing trailer parks has
grown as a result of debate over an appli-
cation for rezoning of land adjoining
Hybla Valley Airport. If the application
is granted, one Of the largest trailer parks
In this area will be laid out on a 6l-acre
tract now zoned "urban residential"
Civic interests in the area have modified
in opposition to the rezoning. The Fair
fax County Board of Supervisors is
scheduled to decide the issue tonight.
The citizens have urged that action be
postponed, pending passage of trailer
ordinance.
Whatever the decision OF the county
with respect to the Hybla Valley appli-
cation, the need for an effective ordinance
controlling tourist camps, as they once
were called, or trailer parks, as they have
come to be known, has been made clear.
This is problem which the newly elected
board, soon to take Office, ought to
consider at an early session.

More Apparent Than Real

Inc annual SOVIET budget, ike tea
leaves in cup, lends itself to all sorts
Of interpretations whose reliability is very
much open to question. But there is one
thing that everybody can be sure of, and
that is that the figures involved do not
necessarily mean what they seem to mean
not by a long shot.
Take, for instance, the projected
military expenditures that Finance Min
lister zverev has presented to the Supreme
Soviet (the Kremlin's rubber-Stamp
parliament). On their face, tranSlating
the rubles into dollar terms, these OUTLAWS
suggest that Russia's collective leader
ship" intends to reduce it's defense invest
ment by about 8.5 per cent during the
coming year. They suggest, further, that
the USSR will spend almost $40 billion
less on its armed forces than the S34
billion or so that our own country is
likely to spend in the same category in
fiscal 1856.
At first glance, the figures thus make
it seem that the Kremlin is considerably
less arms minded than the United States,
and Mr.. Zverev has been at pains to try
capitalizing on the propaganda value of
that impression. AS he has put it, 1.-THE
reduction in military appropriations
means that the Soviet Union not only in
words but in deeds, shows its concern for
lessening world tension and insuring
peace and international security" How
ever, although the appearance of the
thing may deceive many people abroad,
the fact is, as Mr.. Zverev himself has de-
clared, that the ruble's purchasing power
today-aS result of Moscows decision
to slash wholesale prices some months
ago-is substantially greater than it was
last year. So the prospective cut in
Russia's defense spending certainly is not
as big as 1t looks. Indeed, it may be
nothing but bookkeeping illusion, with
the actual OUTLAWS being as large as ever,
and possibly even larger
In any case, the Soviet budget
which next year will continue to place
major emphasis on developing heavy in
dustry at the expense Of consumer goods
production-cannot accurately be
equated with our own Federal budget.
There are many reasons for this One is
that the entire Russian economy is owned
and controlled by dictatorship. An
other is that the Kremlin. which camou-
fages quite few of its military expendi-
lures. can fix its own prices for anything.
And by the same token, since it does not
have to reckon with the private profit
motive or with high wage rates and
material costs comparable to ours, the
USSR almost certainly can buy more
military power with its rubles than we
can with our dollars
Accordingly, despite surface impress
sions to the contrary, the United States
and its allies must continue to proceed
on the assumption that the Kremlin's
defense cut is more apparent than real
and that the Soviet arms effort is at least
equal to, and probably greater than, that
of the West. To assume otherwise would
be dangerously wishful.

Looking at Next Year

Secretary of Commerce Weeks ap-
pears to be on reasonably sound ground
in his forecast of a continued growth in
the Nations business activity in 1856.
His opinion now is that the current mo-
mentum will carry on at least through
the first half of next year. Generally
speaking, his estimate is Endorsed by most
economists and is supported by variety
of statistical measurements.
1t would be surprising perhaps, If
there were not some levelling of next
year in the booming pace Of business.
Even basically healthy economy needs
an occasional breathing spell" in pro-
longed upward rush-a time for adjust
ment and assessment. And the fact that
there is a national political campaign
coming up is almost certain to warrant
a pause in long-term business planning.
For Government policies-particularly in
the fields of spending and taxation-have
become in the past 20 years significant
factor in the economy. Even so, a great
deal of underlying strength Is given the
situation today by the long-range COM
mitments for plant expansion announced
in recent months by several Of the basic
industries. Many of these will create
demand for materials and labor in volume
matching, or even exceeding, that of the
past IL months. The likelihood that Con-
gress in the coming session will enact
programs for Federal aid to highway and
school construction brightens prospects
for this type of heavy-industry activity.
The continuing development Of new
III kI1r y, al IL ox,l
chemical research-and increasing pro-
ductivity through mechanization have
further direct effect
There is, of course, a cyclical pattern
of rise and fall in a national economy.

New Atomic School

In cooperation With the National
Science Foundation and the American
Society for Engineering Education, the
Atomic Energy Commission will launch
a promising new project next June as
part OF the general effort to cope with
the dangers inherent in this country's
actual and prospective shortage of Scien-
fists and engineers. The project - a
summer training institutes not de-
signed to accomplish any overnight Won
derS, but 1t can make an important con-
tribution In terms of helping to check
a trend that threatens to deprive us of
our supremacy viS-a-vis Russia lin the
field of military and nonmilitary nuclear
and thermonuclear power.
AS explained by Chairman Strauss
of the Acc, the new institute-which will
be located at the Argonne National Lab
month specialized training course for fac
ulty members of American engineering
colleges. The course will be available
every summer to about go selected in
dividualS, who will receive coSt-of-living
allowances and travel expenses. On its
face, the project seems to be almost too
small to be particularly significant, but
its potential value is very real. For the
fact is, in Mr.. Strauss words, that it
would be futile to establish courses of
nuclear studies in undergraduate and
graduate curriculums, and proceed to
build expensive research reactorS and
other nuclear facilities, without first in
surfing the professors and instructors
qualified to teach nuclear technology, and
the understanding of those intricate and
costly machines. This brings us up
against the cold statistic that the short
age of science and engineering instructors
qualified to teach the fundamentals of
nuclear technology is even more serious
gineers capable of working in the field.
1t is nearer the root of our difficulty"
Right now the Soviet educational
system is turning out far more scientists
and engineers than are our own colleges
and universities, and the Aces summer
school for faculty members is obviously
only one of many projects that must be
undertaken If the Nation is to deal effec-
lively with this menacing competitive
situation. But the course at the Argonne
National Laboratory certainly constitutes
an important step in the right direction.
In addition to training instructors to
instruct students and other potential
instructors in the nuclear arts, it can
play key role in encouraging young
Americans to make science and engineer
ing their life work And the more en-
couragement there is along that line, the
sooner viii our country overcome the
shortage which now endangers its long
range military security and economic
well-being.

Debating to Judqes

Connecticut's Governor Ribicoff Is
trying to do the right thing a wrong
way.
The Governor is concerned, and
properly so, at the alarming increase in
traffic deaths in his State. He believes
that this is due primarily to speeding,
and he has made up his mind to crack
down on the speeders. A feature of this
tougher program is to be the mandatory
3O-day suspension of drivers license
after the first speeding conviction, in
stead of after second conviction.
Though drastic, this may we'll be
necessary to restrain the speederS. But
Governor Ribicof has gone a step fur
ther. He has called upon the States
Judges to support his safety drive, and
he has said that ANY judge who fails to
cooperate in this all-out program to
make our highways safe need not expect
reappointment from me-"
This threat turns the spotlight on
the gravest defect in the practice OF
appointing judges for term OF years
instead of for life. They can be, and
often are, pressured by political officials
for good purposes as well as for bad.
Governor Ribicoff did not spell out what
he meant by fails to cooperate"
Henceforth, however, 1t will take courage
for Connecticut judge interested IN
reappointment to acquit an accused
speeder, even though the Judge believes
him to be innocent.

Arms for Israel

Our State Department has
pledged itself to maintain a
balance of power between
Israel and the Arabs.
Some time ago, Israel for
warded TO our Government a
list of arms necessary for de-
Tense against Arab aggression.
Surely our State Department
must know that Egypt has
started an arms race in the
Middle East. thanks to her new
friends. the Communists.
Has the State Department
acted expeditiously to supply
Israel with arms for her de-
tense? Not yet.
Many peculiar arguments
have been aired against sup
plying arms to Israel. Two of
the most shocking were that
Arabs number 40 million and
the Israelis only Ia million
and that Arab oil is more
precious than our loyalty to
friends and to principles of
democracy.
But what about justice? Can
democracy be served by ap-
peasing ,feudal Arab dictators
and by Furnishing tiny demo-
cratic Israel?
Recently the Arab dictators
have been emboldened and
their harassment of the bor-
ders of Israel has been in
tensifled to a degree that re-
taliation by Israel against
Egypt and Syria became neces-
Sary.
Syria and Egypt now accuse
Israel of aggression.
Israel wants peace and she
has been proclaimlng her in
tense desire for friendship with
all her neighbors. Israel is
neither expansionist nor ag-
gressiye. She must, however.
retaliate under provocations
as all self-respecting countries
must do.
Our State Department must
realize that the only way to
establish stability in the Mid
die East is to maintain a bal
ance in areas between Israel
and the Arabs. Such a policy
will lead to a final and just
peace settlement.
Let's dispense with the red
tape" and lame excuses and
supply Israel right now with
the weapons she needs!

YISTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
Green Liqht in Space interests Sovonts

TOPICS in medicine is just dawn
ing in spite of an enormous
advance in the past ten years.
This was reported to the
association here by DR.. Mar
shall Brucer, chairman of the
medical division at the Atom
ic Energy Commissions Oak
Ridge, Tenn, laboratories.
Nearly 4,500 physicians
throughout the country now
are using these isotopes al
most routinely, he said. From
a few thousand millicuries
tunit of radiation measure
mentl at the beginning of the
period, he said, the amount
now used has risen to 2.5 mil
lion a month.
There remain great hurdles
to be crossed, especially for the
drug industry. he stressed.
Theoretically two of the most
valuable isotopes should be
radio sodium and radio chlo-
rine. since both of these ele-
ments form part of body It's
sues and would not act as for
eign substances introduced in
the blood stream. But, he said,
drug manufacturers are licked
on the problem of spoilage and
shelf life. Radio sodium has a
half life of only IL hours.
Radio Chlorine Short lived
ANY amount bought on
Monday isn't there on Thurs
day." DR.. Brqcer said. Radio
chlorine has a half life Of
only half an hour. Any
amount purchased Monday
morning isn't there Monday
night. Radio gold may be a
remarkable therapeutic agent
but it is looked on with dis
favor on the West Coast be-
cause few people can afford
to pay for the decay waste
during transportation.
Radio sodium gives off a
very high energy gamma ray.
The pharmaceutical industry
is accustomed to handling
poisons, but in this case a
strong bottle, a tight cork, a
skull and croSs-bones stamp
and keeping it out of the
reach of children are not suf-
ficient. The outside of the
bottle is more dangerous than
the inside. The material must
be stored behind several inches
of lead. When one makes a
shipment he ships a few pounds
of lead, not just a few milli-
grams of a drug"
Use of isotopes, he said,
might be much greater were it
not for the maze of regula-
tons, most of which are justi-
fed at present. But, he
stressed. in several diseases
today they have become the
preferred means of diagnosis
and treatment and methods
OF procuring them probably
will be simplified.

Flank Attack

I see that the Army has
reprimanded 1t, Col. Lilies for
aiding the enemy while he was
a prisoner of the Communists.
Corpl, Dickinson got a life
sentence at hard labor. l do
rot know all the circumstances
OF Col. Lilies trial. However, I
co krow that in the Army in
World War II there was one
kind Of justice for enlisted
man ard another kind for
officers. Nothing / have read
since indicates that the situa-
ton has changed. l was de-
tailed to a provost marshal's
Office and two different Army
headquarters, and remember
many examples of Army JUS
tice. There was the case where
the Army would not bring a
defense witness from a camp
30 miles away, but few in
prosecuting witnesses hundreds
of miles to testify against an
enlisted man. 1t was the gen.
eral practice to throw the
book" at an enlisted man. An
officer guilty of the same Of
Tense was usually reprimanded
and quietly transferred to an
other command. Occasionally
an oficet may be sacrificed If
necessary to save an officer of
higher rank. the military hi
erarchy. or the administration
itseif---as witness the actions
after Pearl Harbor.
l say, Thank God for the
Marine Corps. Americans can
also be thankful that the Air
Force and the Navy try to
follow the example of high
honor and intellect set by the
Marine officer corps. AS long as
we have the corps we will
have a bright living symbol as
a beacon. And. who knows,
sometime a genius may appear
in the Army vino will see it. a
genius who has the strength
OF Hercules. the patience CT
job. the diplomacy of Chester
field, the true heart Of r. E.
Lee, the dedication of T. J.
Jackson, and the verve Of
j. K. B. Stuart. Such a man
may be able to change the
course of Army history.
The Army has fine officers
who 90 their jobs superlatively
we'll and are too seldom heard
Of. How many remember Hun
ter Leggett of World War I,
one of our ablest commanders
who almost lost his command
because Army brass thought he
was too fat? How many can
recall the name of the great
commander OF the 1st Army in
World War II? And many
others with courage, skill and
a little Christian humility?
There have been many of the
opposite sort, too many. who
have set the tone for the Army.
William NJ. Burdette, Jr.
