Bridoe 'BoondoqoIe'

The big lie" that another
bridge is needed across the
Potomac River has just about
prevailed; and the fact that
the people of the District will
be taxed for the inflated cost
compounds the absurdity Of
this boondoggle.
Let's face one big evident
fact. During normal times of
day, the present bridges more
than adequately carry the
traffic. When the Jones Point
bridge is completed the situa-
ton will be even better. There
fore, this new bridge is needed
solely for the gypsies who scoot
back and forth across the
river twice a day to their places
OF work.
What is the responsibility Of
the District government in
handling and abetting this
swollen influx and egresS twice
daily? The traffic experts say
it should be sped to its des-
tination with the least possible
delay, but-that is their mis-
sion. Should the traffic en-
gineer be allowed to enlarge
a mere mission into policy?
! doubt if the Commissioners
have set a real policy on inter-
state commuter traffic. and the
local taxpayers responsibility
to these commuters.
The greatest number Of COM
muters come in from Virginia
to Washington. and take their
pay checks back to Virginia. A
lesser number are Washing
tonians who go to Virginia and
back: and there is another
large group who zip through
Washington from Maryland
and into Virginia, and then
back through town in the eve
ming. Why should the WASH
ington taxpayer pay the freight
for this motley mass of wheeled
ZombieS?
It would be self-evident in
less complicated eras that it is
to the advantage of both en-
ployers and employees, espe-
cially those of the Defense De-
partment, that the worker live
near his work. The savings in
gasoline, tires, time. nerves and
capital expenditures would be
tremendous if this committing
could be reduced.
Therefore the city govern
ment has only two policies to
decide upon: How to encour-
age these commuters to live
on the side Of the bridge they
earn their living on; or, how
to get these commuters to pay
for extra bridges and roads
needed solely to service their
daily whimsy.
It would be naive to sup
pose that any educational pro-
gram would encourage an APP
preciable number Of these
commuters to move their place
Of residence, but the city gov
eminent has at its command
wonderful means Of coercion.
Each day, survey teams could
hold up one bridge or another,
lanes could be blocked for un-
dersurface inspections, ETC., till
it finally penetrated to even
the dullest daily doodlebug that
they we're playing a losing
game. This policy should be
continued till the rush-hour
bridge traffic decreased to a
reasonable figure. If the Com
missioners shy from this. then
bridge tolls should be instituted
during rush hours. from s to
$3.50 am. and 4 to z pm, so
the commuters could pay their
cost to the city. / think Is
cents each way for Virginia
and Maryland cars and 10
cents for city cars would not
be unreasonable.

Retarded Children

Since this is National Re-
tarded Children's Week, / pre-
sumo to seek the forum your
community minded newspaper
affords to point up a commu-
nifty problem that has too long
been neglected.
Only the problems of men,
tai illness are commensurate
in size with those Of mental
retardation. 1t is estimated
that 3 per cent Of our total
population or some 100000
Americans are retarded in
some substantially handicap
ping degree. OF each 100000
persons in our population, an
estimated 200 are blind, 300
are permanently crippled by
polio. $50 by cerebral palsy,
700 by rheumatic heart con-
ditions and 5000 are mentally
retarded.
The District Of Columbia
unhappily has its share, and
even more uNhappily, the fac.
ilitieS and staff of the Dis
trict's school system are trag-
ically inadequate, in terms of
size and number, for the Job
that needs to be done.
1t is estimated that the Dis
trict school system has be-
tween 1000 to 1000 mentally
retarded children who have
an indicated ability to achieve
minimal educational progress
and to become self-Sustaining
if they receive the proper spe-
cial training which their con-
dition requires. At present
these children are in large
classes Of normal children but
cannot successfully be inte-
grated in school activities.
They are not learning. They
are, in many cases. develop
ing behavior problems and be-
coming social outcasts; and,
Of equal Importance they are
depriving normal children of
the teachers full time and at
tention. The appointment of
approximately 80 teacher
specialists is urgently needed
to take care of these and other
handicapped children.
In addition to educating
more adequately the marginal
retarded, or the so-called edu-
cable category, it is essential
to take steps to expand the
classes devoted to training the
severely retarded. These chill
dren were formerly considered
to be hopeless, but the expert
ment started in September,
1858, when three such classes
were established in the Dis
trict school system has clearly
demonstrated the effective.
ness of such a training pro-
gram. In some cases teachers
have discovered children who
were believed to be severely
retarded but who actually
were suffering from emotional
difficulties more than from
true learning disabilities.
Finally, there is a pressing
need TO establish a sheltered
workshop wherein mental re-
tardates can be taught simple
tasks and trades which will
enable them to become self
sustaining members Of society.
Such workshops have been
successfully established in
other communities and there
is no sound reason for the Dis
trict to lag behind. II the
District pleads lack Of funds,
the short answer Is that a
workshop properly organized
and operated should prove
self-supporting.
To reject the special educa-
tional and industrial training
needs Of the mentally retarded
means to accept greater bur-
dens for the taxpayer in the
future arising from increased
institutional care. delinquency
and the loss Of productivity Of
both these children and Of
their parents.

THE AMERICAN WAY

man could worship God in the
way he saw fit; where he could
rise by industry, by thrift, by
intelligence to the highest places
in the commonwealth, secure
from tyranny, secure from in
justice-a free agent--the maker
or destroyer of his own destiny -
Well, you know what happened
in 1888 when this ardent cham
pion (?) of States Rights moved
from Albany, NJ Y, to Washing
ton, d. c. to commence sthe first
of his four terms as President
Of the United States. His actions
and public utterances from that
time on were diametrically op-
posed TO what he said in that
1880 speech. He accelerated the
pace Of the movement toward
Capitalization of government at
Washington, which had been
under way prior to his election
to the presidency. The very
things which, while Governor of
New York State, he declaimed
would destroy the u. S. A., he
put into practice at Washington.
When the Supreme Court ruled
against the NRA, which he had
launched, he made desperate
effort to pack our highest court.
Fortunately, the Congress rebel
led and he was frustrated in his
attempt to appoint members to
the Supreme Court who would
do his bidding.
When death called President
Roosevelt and Vice President
Harry Truman took over as
President, the new incumbent
continued the policy of mulcting
the individual states Of the pow
ers granted them by the Con-
Stitution. Whereas Franklin call
ed his administration the New
Deal" Harry named his the
Fair Deal" A change in name
only, both the same in practice.
This is 1856. There will be a
national election in November.

elected to Congress, that a man
is elected to the presidency, who
will start in action 4 movement
to return power to the individual
states that the Federal Govern
ment has misappropriated. We
must remember the words of
Governor Roosevelt, not the
actions of President Roosevelt:

speech.
The doctrine of regulation
and legislation by master minds,
in whose judgment and viii, all
the people may gladly and
quietly acquiesce, has been too
glaringly apparent at Washing
ten during these past ten years.
Were it possible TO find master
minds SO unselfish; so willing
10 decide unhesitatingly against
their ~oWn personal interests or
private prejudices; men almost
God-like in their ability to hold
the scales Of justice with an
even hand-such a government
might be to the interests of the
country; but there are none such
on our political horizon, and we
cannot expect complete re-
versal of all the teachings Of
history.
''Now to bring about govern.
ment by oligarchy masquerading
as democracy, it is fundamentally
essential that practically all au-
thority and control be centralized
in our National Government. The
individual sovereignty of our
States must first be destroyed,
except in mere minor matters Of
legislation. We are safe from the
danger of any such departure
from the principles on which
this country was founded just so
long as the individual home rule
of the States is scrupulOusly pre-
served and fought for whenever
they seem in danger.
Thus it will be seen that this
home rule is a most important
thing-the most vital thing-if
we are TO continue along the
course which we have so far
progressed with such unpreced-
ented success.
"But what are the underlying
principles on which this govern
ment is founded? First and fore
most, the new thought that every
citizen was entitled to live his
own life in his own way so long
as his conduct did not injure any
of his felloW-men. This was to
be a new Land of Promise where

Congress, through the estab-
lishment of the Smith-Hughes
funds at the close of World War
|, provided for assistance in the
training of young farmers. AS a
result, the present generation of
farm owners and operators are
men of training and ability. Later
Congress saw need to assist in the
technical fields and in the diStrib-
utlVe services. As a result, funds
were appropriated known as the
George Barden funds, in very
much the same manner as the
Smlth-Hughes funds. The other

school IN GAINESVILLE and was

school students are taught
through practice, demonstration
and example, many things about

Congress cannot do it all. In
fact, the training of specialists
