Control of Interstate Roads

Fears that the Federal Government
might move into the field of traffic
control on interstate highways are ill
founded, to say the least. The far
fetched idea was advanced at the annual
Virginia Highway Conference, during a
discussion of the effects of the new Fed
eral aid to highways law. But the law,
while adding vast mileage to the Nations
interstate highway system, will impose
heavy additional traffic responsibilities
on State authorities. In the interest Of
public safety, the States should lose no
time in planning to cope with the new
traffic problem.
Virginia State Police representa-
tive told the conference that the Federal
Governments investment in new inter
state roads to the extent of 80 per cent
of the cost might lead to Federal efforts
to control the highways after they are
opened. The law makes no provision for
Federal control. however, and 1t is in
conceivable that Congress would amend
It to provide for such regulation. AL
though most of the construction cost will
be paid by the Federal Government, the
oululilB dliu oPVAoeiO VI GA PoA 70 "a eA'S
system are to be a State responsibility.
The only roads over which Federal con-
troll is exercised are those in Federal
reservations and those. like the George
Washington Memorial Parkway and the
Baltimore Washington Parkway, which
we're built by the Government And the
National Park Service now would like to
rid itself OF the burden of maintaining
and policing the latter parkway and GER
tain others not in Federal parks.
However, Federal authorities will in
sist that the interstate highway network
conform to an approved pattern. provid-
ing for dual lanes and limited access
More than 1000 miles Of such highways
will be built in Virginia alone. The State

Hungary and the u. N.

"Premier" Kadar'S Soviet-controlled
regime in Budapest has once again re-
fused to let the United Nations send a
team of observers into Hungary. In a
formal communication turning the truth
upside down, it has told Secretary
General Dag HammarSkjold that any
such move would violate Hungarian
sovereignty" and be contrary to the
principles" of the U. N. Charter. How
ever, as if to make itself seem reasonable,
it has declared that it will welcome a
personal visit from Mr. Hammarskjold
''at later date"-in the indefinite future,
presumably after the Kremlin has had
time to cover up some of the worst aspects
of it's terrible crime against the people
of the country.
In commenting on this latest rejec-
ton of the General ASSembly'S repeated
appeals, Ambassador Lodge, our chief
delegate to the United Nations, has
rightly described it as yet another ex-
ample of the Soviet'S Unions complete
contempt for the purposes and principles
of the world organization. It is also
further demonstration of Communist in
humanity, and to counter it, to keep on
trying for humanitarian solution of the
crisis, Mr. Lodge has proposed that the
Assembly make lone final appeal" calling
upon both the Kremlin and its puppet
Kadar regime to consent, by December
7, to the entry of U. N. observers into
Hungary. In Mr. Lodges words, I'VE
must set deadline. We cannot allow
ourselves to be fobbed off," But UNI
happily, barring the totally unexpected,
the lone final appeal" will almost GER
tainly be either ignored or formally re-
jected.
And what then? The General Assem-
bly, may adopt condemnatory resolution
and possibly send observers into Austria
to find out whatever they can along the
Hungarian border. In addition, it might
move to impose sanctions of some sort
and expel the Kadar government" from
membership. But action along this line,
although serving to keep the historical
record straight, can be of Scant help to
the suffering people of Hungary. That
is one of the most tragic realities of the
situation. Short of reSorting to force,
which is not contemplated, the U. N. can
do little more than exert moral pressure
in the hope Of being able to persuade the
men of the Kremlin to get off the tiger
they are riding and cooperate, for once,
on the side of humanity.

Hail to the Redskins

The Redskins probably ran out of
1855 championship gas last Sunday aft
ernoon in Yankee Stadium. But Wash
ington football fans have picked up
lot of exciting yardage this season. Even
in the days when titles we're more or less
routine for the George p Marshall Acad-
envy" it is doubtful that any squad won
itself more admiring support than this
one. For this is team that has had
Lady Luck" playing against it in line
up Of accidents that set in before the
league season began. One after another,
top backfield men we're eliminated by
injuries, and one result Of this showed up
in the loss of the first three games. The
winning string Of five straight that fol-
lowed earned the coaching staff and the
players lasting respect, on the field and
of.
Actually, it has been we'll demon
strated this season that there are no
pushovers in pro football On any day
any one of the IL clubs is capable Of
being up" enough to knock over its OPP
position. Careful scouting for talent, the
best Of coaching and the intangible
quality sometimes called desire" are all
needed to post winning record. The
1856 Redskins have proved they have a
large share-if not quite enough-of these
qualities. And as a consequence, the fans
have had It pretty good.

st. BarnabaS Hospital for
Chronic Diseases. in New York,
was formerly the Home for In
curables. That institution re-
ports that modern medical
science has made it possible
for a high percentage of its
patients to return to normal
life, and its present less for
bidding name probably helps.
The name may also attract
more contributions.
It would not be at all diff
cult to change the name of our
Home for Incurables. A private
bill in Congress would be suffi-
Gent, in all probability; in
deed, it might not be neces-
sary to resort to legislation at
all. A part Of the institution
might well be named the
Washington Hospital for
Chronic Diseases. and if neces-
sary some such wording as
Affiliated to the Home for
1ncurables" might be under
lined. However, I have no ex-
pectation that anything Of
the kind will be done.

DipIomocy's Day

The announcement of the Anglo
French decision to withdraw their troops
from Egypt without delay means that
diplomacy is being substituted for force
as means of solving the difficult prob
lens OF the Suez area. The hope must
be that diplomacy will succeed where
war failed. But it is too early for easy
optimism on this score.
France and Britain, although the
pill was bitter one, have done what
was both right and necessary. The
armed attack on Egypt was morally wrong
and gross political blunder. It could
have LED only to the disastrous end which
has been reached, and the mistake had to
be rectified
The United Nations is entitled to a
great deal of credit for this better turn
OF events. But it would be mistake, we
think, to overestimate the power of the
U. N. 1t has played an important role
In reversing the course of intervention.
But the Anglo-French decision to with
draw, as well as that of Israel, has been
influenced also by other considerations
the threat of Russian intervention, the
stoppage of the flow of oil, the upsurge
of hostile public opinion both at home
and abroad. These factors should be
kept in mind, for otherwise we may come
to expect more of the U. N than it is
capable of doing in the negotiations
which lie ahead
These negotiations, if there is to be
any real settlement in the area, must look
toward prompt clearance of the canal,
he ckak 1fcIav -
which will prevent discrimination with
fair division of the revenues, and, finally,
a solution of the differences between
Israel on the one hand and Egypt and
the other Arab countries on the other.
Furthermore, under the Security Coun-
cil'S october IS resolution, these things
must be done with due regard for Egypt's
sovereignty.
This means that the U. N. cannot
dictate terms and conditions to Egypt'S
President NaSSer. He will have to be per-
Suaded to accept reasonable conditions,
and he has not been notably amenable
to persuasion in the past-unlesS a given
proposal seemed to serve his own purposes.
So we must not jump to any rosy-hued
conclusion that the end of trouble is in
sight. Mr.. NaSser must be brought to see
the light-to recognize that reason and
cooperation will serve his own best in
terests and those of Egypt. To this end,
concessions will be required. And it may
also be necessary to convince him that
he has choice between future economic
benefits and economic penalties. In any
event this is the direction which the
negotiations must take, for the only alter
native is force-and force has been tried
and has failed. Diplomacy is the hope of
the future, and diplomacy has rugged
road to travel.

Song PIugger

In regard to the efforts OF
the District Commissioners to
find a suitable official song for
the Nations Capital, ! recall
that shortly after the close Of
World War II a song entitled
We're From the District Of
Columbia" was written by
Col. Julian G. Hearne. jr.,
composer. Of the official West
Virginia State song.
Colone' Hearne. then on
duty III the Pentagon. offered
the song to either the Army or
the Air Force band, which pre-
pared an arrangement that
was played on one Of the serv-
ice radio programs.
AS / remember. the tune was
catchy, written in march time,
and included the words Dis
trict Of Columbia" in the lyrics.
I suggest that the Commits
sioners give 1t a hearing before

On Changing O Name

One Of your correspondents
recently called attention to the
desirability Of changing the
name Of the Home for Incur
ables. I offered the same sug-
gestion in a letter to The Star
two or three years ago, and
followed 1t up both at the
home and at diocesan house.
The latter disclaimed any re-
sponsibility, and not much in
terest was shown at the home.
I was told that the residents
had voted in favor Of keeping
the present name.
That might very well be ex-
pected. For one thing. they
have become accustomed TO IL.
apd for another they APP
pfeciate the care they receive
there and don't want TO create
any complications. But II must
be most unpleasant indeed for
the patient about 10 be ad-
mitted; he feels that there are
two strikes on him already. and
the effect must be most de-
pressing. / know Of my own
experience the disastrous effect
on q patient admitted for
disqualification and discovering
later the actual name Of the
place.
The name should be changed
not only because II Is depress-
ing but because II 10 Inaccurate.
