Water Line
Regulations

Fairfax County, long troubled
by inadequate water systems, has
a new set of regulations to con-
troll all future water line extern
sions in the county.
The regulations were drawn by
County Executive C. c. Massey
after State legislation became
effective January / permitting
the county to control extensions
of water systems. The Board of
County Supervisors approved the
regulations last week and they
became effective Immediately.
They require that the Director
of Public Works must approve
all extensions Of water systems,
and proof must be furnished of
ability to supply adequate pres
sure.
The regulations specify pipe
capacities, water quality, and
other standards considered adj
visable for satisfactory water
service. Line mains must be
large enough and pressure suf-
iicient to serve fire MIGRANTS.

shortcomings. but at least would

like ReshevskY and Botvinnik, is
also Jewish. When Bronstein
challenged Botvinnik for the
world title. the match ended in a
deadlock. and when that happens.
the champion retains his diadem.
But at that time. Bronstein re-
vealed himself TO be the equal of.
if not the superior to. Mikhail
Botvinnik.
On December l, ReShevsky
commences a 24-game match with
Bronstein and the winner will
have the inside track to match
with Botvinnik. VASTLY Smyslov,
the other great player of the day,
who also drew in a match series
with Botvinnik, also waits in the
wings for his chance.
When Sammy ReshevskY was
only years old. he established
himself as a chess prodigy. "A year
earlier he had learned the game
from watching his father play.
and his perception of the moves
was so keen that he soon showed
himself to be extraordinary at the
complex game. At 6 he started
touring Poland. and at 8 he ap-
peared in all the capitals of the
world. amazing chess lovers with
the variety and brilliance Of his

game. When he was only 9. he
came to the United States. and
here too he left chess masters and
fans gasping with the adroitness
of his play.
Reshevsky was a prodigy who
did not fade as he grew older. He
took command of the American
chess scene and has not yet relin-
quished it. He was U. S. champion
five times and, in all international
tournaments, he outshines all
other Americans, as well as near
ly everyone else. He has never in
his life been defeated in match
play; that is to say in a direct
contest with a. single opponent,
although in tournament play. he
does not always win the greatest
number of total points. But place
him across the board f r m any
master, in series of games, and
he will win. That, at least, has
been the past history of Sammy
Reshevsky, and there is a good
chance that he will continue this
record, even against so brilliant
an opponent as David Bronstein.
An insight into ReshevskY's
idea of chess is this: He was once
asked How many moves do you
think ahead in game?" And he
replied: Zone more than my op-
ponent." If he continues thinking
and moving along these lines. he
can't miss winning from Bron-
stein. and then. if he meets and
defeats Botvinnik. he will add
lustre to the history of the Jew
in chess. for in the history of
modern chess. there have been
three Jewish International cham
pions: William Steinitz. Emanuel
Lasker and Mikhail Botvinnik.
Steinitz ruled for 28 years. and
Lasker for 27. Thus these two
Jewish champions held the crown
for l55 years in row. And now
Botvinnik is the title-holder.
ReshevskY would make a fine
successor to them all.

Unless one subscribes to the theory
that the process of choosing Supreme
Court justices is somewhat akin to pick
Ing numbers from hat, 1t must be as
sumed that the whole story of the
nomination Of William Joseph Brennan,
jr., has not yet been told.
Obviously, one factor in the selection
OF Mr.. Brennan to replace Justice Minton
was the desire to name Catholic to the
Supreme Court. Another factor, which
we believe to be important, is that he has
had about seven years of judicial expert
ence in the New Jersey courts. But these
considerations, standing alone, are hardly
enough to explain the choice of Justice
Brennan for this highest judicial honor.
There must have been some other reason
for the nomination of this comparatively
unknown State judge, and we suppose
that, with time, 1t will be disclosed.
One thing which seems certain is
that this nomination was not dictated by
partisan political considerations. For
Justice Brennan, while he has not been
active In politics, is a registered Demo-
crat. Nor is there reason to believe that
Justice Brennan was chosen because he
adheres to any particular judicial phi
losophy. Most Of the work of State
judges is not concerned with the larger
questions of constitutional theory which
occupy so much of the time of the Su-
preme Court. And If he, through his
opinions, has shown any particular lean
ings in this respect, that fact is not re-
vealed in the information concerning his
career which has been made available.
What has emerged is picture of an at
tractive young Judge who has served
creditably on the courts of his State. The
answer to the $64 question-where he
will take his stand on the larger consti-
tutional questions-must await the test
Of his service on the Supreme Court.

Restudy of Public Works

Construction projects contained in
the Districts tentative general fund
budget tor the next fiscal year indicate
that the city is falling behind in its ten
year public works program. General
Lane explains that this is due chiefly to
rising construction costs
But the program has departed in
other respects from the conditions on
which 1t was based Instead of one, we
have already had two substantial in
creases in local taxes And Congress has
twice refused to appropriate the full
amount of the Federal share authorized
IN legislation to finance the program
Citizens organizations have been
urged to send representatives to the pub
lie hearings on the budget, beginning
Wednesday morning before the Commits
sioners. Even more important than the
pending budget, however, is the state of
the public works program of which the
pending budget is merely a part.
We hope that citizens who testify
at the budget hearings will urge the
commissioners to undertake a careful
analysis OF the public works program that
will emphasize its failures along with its
progress. In such an undertaking, the
Commissioners should revitalize the citi-
zens' committees which helped to draft
the original public works program in the
beginning and were so helpful at that
time in perSuading the Budget Bureau
and Congress to support it,
The conditions on which the program
was originally based should be met by
Congress as well as local taxpayers. II
the conditions are not going to be met,
the program should be revised or aban-
doned. The Commissioners should have
the help of citizens in reaching decision
on the steps needed to carry out the
program, If 1t is to be retained, and their
support in making that decision stick.

Nonportison Crisis

The memory of political candidates
is UNDERSTANDABLE flexible, an obvious re-
quirement when comparing the sins of
the opposition with the virtues of ones
own party. 1t is, Of course, nonpartisan
quality and not one that should be con-
strued as marking deliberate departure
from "high-level" campaigning. 1t might,
indeed, be taken as proof that candidates
are only human after all-perhaps truly
forgetful of some of the details in fast
moving events of the past.
And so it is that while sharing Adlai
Stevenson's deep disquiet about the state
of the Nations public school system one
need not be too critical of his assessment
OF party responsibility for what has not
yet been done. On last January IL, Presi-
dent Eisenhower asked Congress to enact
legislation providing for broad program
of Federal aid to education. In doing so.
he expressed great concern-juSt as did
Mr.. Stevenson in Milwaukee last week
about the urgent need for more class
rooms and improved teaching standards.
He expressed similar concern, as did Mr..
Stevenson, that Federal aid should not
odPPAoltG 4OOdl C11OIO VI l6dQ 10 F6QeId1
control. 1t was approximately six months
later that bill reached the House floor
of Congress under Democratic control.
There were many explanations for its
death there, and the responsibility was
well divided on both partisan basis and
sectional basis. But If any single fac
tor was more responsible than another
1t was the successful effort of Repre-
sentative Powell, New York Democrat, to
amend the measure to bar Federal aid to
prosegregation States. 1t was primarily
from Mr. Stevenson's own party that OPP
position arose to this amendment and
later to the legislation in its entirety.
Undoubtedly there will be new recon-
mendations for Federal aid to education
before the next Congress, whether Re-
publican or Democratic. Concern for the
welfare Of American youth is indeed nom
partisan. 1T is likely, also, that any credit
for what may be done eventually to
improve the Nations school system-or
blame for its Shortcomings-can be fairly
divided between the two parties.

The old Pros Take Il

The preseason betting favoriteS won
the National League championship yes
terday. And If they were not the Senti-
mental favorites of most of the Nations
baseball fans it still does not detract from
the Dodgers glory or from the pure
ecstasy found in Brooklyn From April
until September the Dodgers pursued this
second straight pennant the hard way
chasing one club and sometimes two that
always seemed out in front of them. At
one point the team was reported upset by
squabbling on the squad and fussing with
its manager At others, its veterans
looked too tired and there never did seem
any spectacular youngsters to back them
up. But in the stretch drive the veterans
found new lease on life-perhaps
brought along by Sal Maglie when that
much-travelled old-timer moved into
Ebbets Field. And on their last weekend,
against a Pittsburgh club that had beaten
them three out Of four only few days
earlier. the Dodgers "old pros" were not
letting a championship and its heavy
money get away.
On Wednesday. another real grudge
fight begins. Mr.. Charles Dillon Stengel
and his New York Yankees we're beaten
UP by these same Brooklyn Dodgers last
October and the memory in Yankee
Stadium has remained warm and vivid
This one will be "for keeps" too. BY the
time It is over, both the players and the
fans will be ready to call It quits for the
year.

States Supreme Court has the
last word as to the distribution
of powers between the Nation
and the States. Its interpre-
tation of the Constitution is
the supreme law Of the land.
1t is significant that poll
ticians whose careers are
closely tied up with the eco
nomic and social interests of
particular States and regions,
as that Of Calhoun was, may
rise to become State Cover
nors and members of Congress,
but they never reach the
presidency. The Office of Presi-
dent apparently has been re-
served by the people for politi-
clans who can transcend their
sectional origins and become
national statesmen. Thus, no
President since Andrew john
son has been a Southerner
except Woodrow Wilson, who
came to the presidency from
New Jersey and who was truly
of national stature.
