Many an American undoubtedly

lots Of us tend to burn ourselves out at
too young an age by attempting to do too

also at play, which sometimes exacts a
greater physical toll than the routine at
the Office. True, Vice President Nixon
has drawn us pretty picture of future

economists have even predicted the COM
ing OF 35-week work year. But that
time is not yet; we are living in the here

long-lived, maybe we could all do worse
than emulate the French who feel that

other facilitating ailments-is a fit

Traffic Court Test

Chief Judge Walsh of the Municipal
Court has undertaken an interesting trial
experiment that should help appraise the
wisdom OF assigning Judge to devote all
his time to traffic cases. The proposal
for full-time traffic judge was revived
recently by the Commissioners Traffic
Advisory Board, following a survey which
showed wide variations in traffic penalties
under the rotating judge system.
Some other Jurisdictions have
adopted the all-trafflc judge plan with
reported success AS the Traffic Advisory
Board has pointed out, the plan elimi-
mates the practice of defendants or their
attorneys in shopping around" for
judges with record of Softness toward
trat11c vtolators. 1t also assures more
uniform sentences and, II the traffic
Judge is well chosen, a certainty of
adequate punishment for major offenSes.
After receiving copy of the boards
report, Judge Walsh decided to try out
the six-month rotation plan recon-
mended sometime ago by the Metropoli-
tan Area Traffic Council. Judges now
are required normally to serve only four
or flve weeks on the traffic bench. The
theory behind the longer assignment is
that judge is likely to become gravely
concerned with traffic offenses and their
impact on public safety after hearing
evidence in such cases for several months.
The current experiment will be watched
closely by those who have felt that
trat11c cases have become too important
70 be given routine handling at court.

SoIutes Eisenhower

Democrats Of supposedly
good standing have been call
ing President Eisenhower "a
double-faced racketeer." In
reply may I quote from the
book entitled Assignment:
Churchill" by a man named
Thompson, who was as
signed by Scotland Yard as
Churchill's bodyguard and so
served for years. He writes:
On the evening of July 3,
1851. at Grosvenor House,
London, where Gen. Eisen-
hover, then Supreme Com
mander of the Allied Powers
in Europe, was the English
Speaking Unions guest of
honor, Churchill, in a toast,
said: What shall 1 call this
man? How shall I refer to
him? By what title shall I
address him? This great
soldier. this educator and his
torian: this statesman-for
truly he is one of the great
statesmen of all time. Why, I
shall call him what 1 have al
ways called him-Ike!'"
Truly this describes our
PreSident-no mediocre, part
time President, but a man of
outstanding ability to hold the
highest Offices in our Nation
and indeed in the world, yet
still with the simplicity and
modesty that make it natural
for people to call him "Ike."
The Republicans do not
claim that everything is per-
feet. Just when was every
thing perfect? With world
conditions as they are, and the
Russians as they are, could or
would the Democrats have
done any better? They can
not prove that they would
have-no one can. President
Eisenhower has kept peace
through moments of high ten
sion. and in peace, not by war
profits. brought us to one Of
the highest levels Of economic
prosperity in our history.

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
Russians to Sail Around Antorctico
By THOMAS r. HENRY

Plans to circumnavigate the
Antarctic Continent during
the South Polar winter of
1858 have been announced by
the Institute of Oceanography
of the Soviet Academy of
Sciences, which is in charge of
the Russian program for
the International Geophysical
Year.
Besides the land stations to
be set up on the great conti-
mental ice cap, says a state
ment just received from DR.. v.
Kort, director of the institute,
Soviet scientists will make four
voyages to Antarctic shores
during the next three years in
the specially equipped Diesel
electric ship oh. The first of
these already is on its way.
The OBJ is fitted out with lab
oratories and six deep-sea hy-
drologic winches to obtain sea
bottom samples.
To Trace Old Course
1.-THE main task" says Prof.
Kort, will be Investigation of
the interaction of the waters of
the Antarctic. Atlantic, Indian
and Pacific Oceans and the
effect of Antarctic water on
the atmospheric circulation of
the Southern Hemisphere. The
scientists will investigate the
plant and animal life of the
Antarctic, the topography of
the ocean bed and its geolog-
lcal structure. ice conditions
and the size of waves and cur
rents.
Special interest will be at
tached to visiting the places
where more than a century
ago the Russian seamen F. F.
Bellingshausen and M. P.
Lazarev sailed the Antarctic
waters in small wooden ships.
The scientists on the OBJ will
repeat at the same points the
observations made about %
years ago from the German
expedition ship Meteor. Com
pariSon of the data of the two
expeditions will present con-
siderable interest for an evalu-
alton of the variability of the
phenomena taking place in the
ocean.
During the second cruise of
the Oh. 1867. the Soviet
expedition will conduct inves-
legations in the Atlantic. In

the people he represents In
Congress, should the people
also be refused the opportunity
to hear his opponent? And
should Mr.. Quenstedt be pc
nalized because the incumbent
declined the committees invi-
tation to appear at these meet
ingS? True, Mr.. Quenstedt, if
present, is permitted a few
moments at the end of the
meeting to attempt to address
an audience that is preparing
to leave, and whose more dis
courteous members are al
ready moving toward the exits.
This hardly lends dignity to
the Office of a member of Con-
gress or reflects credit on the
Committee for Candidates
Meetings. Mr.. QuenStedt's
pleasant acceptance of it is
the only graceful thing about
the situation.
In what I am sure is a WE'LL
intentioned although ill-ad-
vised effort to be impartial,
the committee has bent so far
backwards that it is standing
on its head. Although the Re-
. publican incumbent apparent
ly feels no moral obligation to
account to those he represents,
/ trust that he has at least
discharged his social obliga-
ton of thanking the commit
tee for aiding his campaign for
reelection by denying Mr..
Quenstedt the opportunity of
participating in the Candi-
dates Meetings.

Third Term

tutional questions of grave i'm
portance involved In the cur
rent election campaigns. The
latest voice on repeal Of the
Twenty-second Amendment is
that of President Eisenhower.
The dual character OF our
Government with it's provi-
Sions for both Federal power
and reserved State powers, has
been under attack for some
time and this threat accounts
for the birth and growth of
the States Rights movement.
But it was a shock to read a
statement by Warren D. Quen-
stedt that, "as a Representative
in Congress-" he would pro-
pose an amendment to repeal
the Twenty-Second Amend
ment. :" This, the last Of
the amendments, limits the
length Of a citizens service in
the presidency to two terms.
And what a relief it was to
vast numbers of Americans
when this stopper" on bud
ding dictators was adopted!
Although Mr.. Eisenhower
stated at a news conference
that his sentiment for repeal
Of the Twenty-second Amend
ment was prob a bly, not as
strong as the convictions of
those who indorSe it as a wise
provision; on the other hand,
Mr.. Quenstedt. 10th District
congressional candidate, lists
submission of an amendment
to repeal it as the first item
Of domestic legislation which
would occupy him if elected.
How bad a violation of the
two-term precedent can be, is
too fresh in our memories to
be recalled without pain. But
the foresight of Jefferson on
this subject. in a letter to
Madison in 1887, is a warning
Of even worse consequences.
Jefferson wrote: The sec
ond feature I dislike Tin the
new Constitution and strongly
dislike, is the abandonment,
in every instance, Of the prin-
ciple of rotation in Office, and
most particularly in the case
of the President. Reason and
experience tell us that the
first magistrate will always be
reelected if he may be re-
elected. He is then an officer
for life. This once observed,
it becomes Of so much conse-
quence to certain nations to
have a friend or a foe at the
head of our affairs, that they
will interfere with money and
with arms. If once elected,

while the majority are aided

hence, will be much more in

than ever the election of a
King of Poland was. Reflect on

Seasonal changes come
about, with them, as they tend
to migrate from one block and
neighborhood to another.
Thus one year, our block

Just how much the creatures

Destruction Of the charming
features of suburban life, by
the losses and factors de-

a real loss since such suburban
living had come to be truly
civilized living.
Both country and city have
long had harsh features. To-
day. unfortunately, the large
city, wherever it is found, has
come to take on aspects OF the
concrete jungle" where men
are afraid to go out at night

The suburban community. at
its best, was safe. and still had
many OF the best features Of

When the beautiful wood

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL

Gradually the neighborhood
is becoming city.
The rabbits are dying out.
the wood thrusheS no longer
come.
Everywhere the city like

people, who come more and
more to live their own lives.
1t is among the wild life,
however, that the greatest
changes have taken place.

Whether this has caused

Certainly the disappearance

Arlington Politics

DR.. Blevins Of AIM is trying

lieve that the philosophy of
the organization which Sc

Grafton in the campaign. but
the individual himself. This he
does by attempting to avoid
questions on how he stands
on issues supported solidly by
AIM.
1t is quite obvious why DR..

Of the county has been con-
trary to the interests of the

he will have four years to
further the AIM cause. More
over. he knows that by his
unanimous selection, he repre-
sents their views but that he
cannot be elected on these
views because of the record of
AIMS actions, such as:

Ban On Arms
Sale To Israel

OTTAWA, (JTA)-A lifting of the
ban on arms shipments to Israel
was announced in the Canadian
House of Commons by Prime Min
lister Louis st. Laurent. The Prime
Minister revealed that the cabinet
had released three shipments worth
about $165, 900 and had two others
under adviSement.
The cabinets action followed the
release 10 days earlier of IL Har-
ward trainer planes for Egypt
st. Laurent said that the three
arms applications released for
shipment were: spare parts for
Sherman tanks, worth over $780,
600; less than 1000 rounds of 25-
pound artillery ammunition worth
100000, and 40 electronic devices,
worth about $1,000. He said the
shipments were the remainder of
a $565, 900 order placed in 1854. The
other items had been delivered.
Political observers here conSid-
cred the approval of the Israel
shipments as extremely significant
in view of the Canadian govern
ment's earlier announcement that
ii was co-ordinating its arms sup
ply policy on the Middle East with
that of Washington and London.

American citizens as their spon-
Sors. "New assurances are cur
