The current bill is patterned
after Pennsylvania's system. Vir-

BY GENE GOODWIN
Star Sta6 Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. H. The
proposal for compulsory auto
mobile inspections in Maryland
was up to the State Senate again
today.
That chamber has been its
burial ground in past sessions of
the Maryland Legislature.
A bill that would require that
all Free State motorists get
their cars inspected once a year
in a State licensed private ga
rage passed the House of Dele
gates yesterday, 90 to Is, with
all u of the Montgomery and
Prince Georges delegations voting
for it.
Killed by Two Votes
1t is the same bill that passed
the House by a good margin in
1855 and then was killed by two
votes in the Senate the last
night of the session.
Delegate Lansdale G.. Sasscer
jr., Democrat of Prince Georges,
made an unsuccessful attempt to
get the measure recommitted
yesterday to amend a provision
that the proposed inspection
system be supervised by State
police. He said he favored the
bill but thought the inspections
logically should be administered
by the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Delegate Blair Lee, Democrat
of Montgomery. drafter OF the
inspection bill, said one of the
reasons the bill put State police
in charge is that at the time 1t
was written a year ago, the COM
missioner of motor vehicles
showed no visible enthusiasm
for the measure.
Since the 1855 session. a new
commissioner. Frank Small. jr.,
has taken over the department.
Mr.. Lee said Mr.. Small supports
the inspection proposal and al
though he feels the administra-
ton of it should be under his
department, he is willing to go
along with this bill in the hopes

Gold Coast Proqress

The British government is following
its consistently sympathetic policy toward
colonial areas in announcing plans to
grant independence to the Gold Coast
early next year. Political and economic
progress of the West African colony has
been steady in the postwar period and
attainment of an independent status
within the British Commonwealth has
been virtually a foregone conclusion. A
general election earlier this summer and
supporting action by the Legislative AS
sembly demonstrated popular favor for
this move. Under the proposed new gov
eminent setup, Britain will be represented
AS in other Commonwealth countries
by Governor General but the Gold Coast
will have full jurisdiction over its national
affairs.
Aside from the meaning of this de-
velopment for the Gold Coast itself, there
is particular timelineSs in the action.
Much of Africa has been stirred by the is
sue of colonialism, emphasized indirectly
again in the Suez controversy. But the
British record on this matter has been a
good one in the past decade as one after
another of its dependent areas have
gained independence within the Common
wealth family. The Gold Coast case sup
plements this record.

Five Years in China

Premier Chou En-lai produced an i'm
preSSive set of statistics in his outline of
new f1ve-year plan of economic develop
ment for Communist China. But like many
statistics, their absolute meaning is not
fully clear. Addressing the Eighth Con-
gress of the Chinese Communist Party,
Chou predicted vast gains percentage
wise in China'S national income, capital
expansion and both its industrial and
agricultural production. Being expressed
in percentages, however, and with the
base figures being generally unknown to
the outside world, the five-year blueprint
falls short of being a reliable picture of
China'S economy today or what it may
become in the near future.
In viewing the Chou outline with
some reservations, however, one is not
justified in minimizing either the progress
or the capacity of the country economi-
cally. Along with a vast reservoir of man
power, China also is possessed of sub
stantial natural resources. For several
years past, Soviet technicianS have been
aiding in the development of the coun-
tryS industrial plant, helping to increase
its power production and to improve its
agricultural methods. 1t is reasonable to
assume there have been tangible accom-
plishments, although there is little reason
to believe there has been any important
Improvement in the standard Of living.
One of the country'S greatest needs, sug-
gested by Chou himself. is development of
an adequate system Of transport and COM
munications-a vital requirement for both
industry and agriculture.

Hcon Be Done

The remarkable success of soil con-
Servation efforts in the PatuXent River
basin should stimulate similar Silt-pre-
vention programs in the Potomac River
valley. The PatuXent is the source of
water supply for Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, through the services
of the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission Silt pollution of the stream
had been serious problem until the war
on soil-erosion began about eight years
ago. The Potomac is similarly affected
today, with too little being done about
1t.
The good work on the Patuxent's
upper reaches was accomplished as the
result of educational and promotional
efforts by the Maryland State Soil Con-
Servation Committee. This was a CO.
operative undertaking in which State,
county and other public agencies and
varied private interests, such as farmers
and builders, took part The objective
was to arrest the gradual movement of
top soil into streams and reservoirs used
for nearby Maryland's water supply.
Numerous remedial measures were en-
ployed, including contour blowing of
farmland, planting of bank holding
vines and grasses on stream banks and
roadsides and other conservation moves.
Farmers, real estate interests and citizens
generally were made to understand that
their teamwork helped to prevent de-
probation of land values and deteriora-
ton Of farm land
The Interstate Commission for the
Potomac River Basin has advocated a
similar conservation program along the
Potomac, and some progress has been
made. But the Potomac still is burdened
with countless tons of top soil washed
from farmlands and deposited down
stream. The sitting is problem to Army
engineers in charge of Washington's
water supply, as well as those concerned
with keeping ship channels open in the
Washington area What is needed is an
overall master plan for controlling all
types of pollution in our river, including
not only silt but sewage. Until such
plan is worked out, the fight against poll
luton cannot be waged with proper eff
cheney and effectiveness.

lowing quote from Leonard
Hail: Il (Franklin D. Roose-

a distortion typical of the

What Franklin Delano
Roosevelt said in Boston Il was

we would not go to war I'M
less we were attacked. This
we were in 1941.
In the same article by Gould
Lincoln, Mr.. Hall also enjoys
talking about the late lament
ed Woodrow Wilson. I will
say to Mr.. Hall that if the Re-
publicans in the Senate had
stood by Woodrow Wilson in
1918 and 1919, there would
have been no World War II.

Terrorists Hanged

Three more Greek Cypriot terroriStS
have been hanged by direction OF the
British authorities on Cyprus-making
total OF eight such executions in the
past year and half. Perhaps, in the
atmosphere of violence which hangs over
that Mediterranean island, stern repres-
sive measures are necessary. But there
is, nevertheless, strong impression that
they may be self-defeating in the end.
In order to carry out the executions,
the British deemed it necessary to erect
barbed wire barbados and close the
streets of Nicosia to all but military
patrols. The hangman's identity was kept
secret to prevent reprisals against him,
and 1t is reported that he was flown out
of Cyprus Immediately after the execu-
tions. The bodies of the hanged men were
buried in the prison grounds for fear
that they would be buried as national
heroes" If the remains were turned over
to relatives Finally, members Of the
families of the three men, who were per-
mitted to visit them shortly before the
hangings, emerged from the prison gates
to report that the three were calm and
proud to die as heroes"
The British are faced with desperate
situation. But the efficacy of methods
chosen to deal with it is open to grave
doubt. Under the circumstances surround
ing these hangingS, there is at least as
much likelihood that resistance will be
stimulated as there is that terrorism will
be repreSsed.

Modern Spartan

On September Is you re-
counted a little incident about
a boy and a bee, who shared
the cramped space under a
desk during practice afraid
alert. The bee resented the
boys intrusion, and proceeded
to sting him. Anyone who has
ever been stung by a bee can
well appreciate that this is no
pleasant experience, and in
many cases would result in
howls and gyrations by the
victim.
But not so this little man.
He had been told that quiet
and absence of panic were i'm
portant during a session Of
this kind, and with COM
mendable calm and will
power he endured the pain
and the shock of surprise until
the all-clear signal released
him from this obligation.
1t is to be hoped that this
example of bravery and forth
tude will be remembered by
thousands of children and
grown-ups when suddenly
faced by fear and discomfort.
These little anecdotes in
your paper form a welcome
balance and relief from the
pages devoted to political
wranglings and rumors of war.

Iowa Welcome

If crowds and crowd reaction were
synonymous with votes, President Eisen-
hover would seem to be in pretty good
shape in Iowa. But it is still too early to
say whether the rouSing reception &C
corded the President yesterday was a
personal tribute or an expression of poll
tical preference
In an Iowa motor tour that covered
some 100 miles, the President ran into
only one unfriendly demonstration. And
this group, according to news reports, was
composed of handful" of people. For
the rest, the tour was on the triumphaI
side, with well over 100000 people cheer
ing and applauding Mr.. Eisenhower and
his party
There is ample evidence, however, of
widespread farmer dissatisfaction with
the Eisenhower farm program. The PreSi-
dent seemed to acknowledge this when
he said that his new plans for agriculture,
to be unveiled in speech Tuesday night
in Peoria, ILL.,, would not satisfy everyone.
Evidently the President intends to stand
his ground and stay with the essential
features of his farm program, adding
few items in the hope of bolstering farm
income, but rejecting anything in the
nature of general retreat.
So the test in the farm belt lies in
the future. The shape of things to come
will be clearer after Adlai Stevenson
makes his farm speech this afternoon
and the President replies next week.
Meanwhile, one should not assume that
applause and votes necessarily go hand
in hand.

The Constructive Atom


the epochal 81-nation atomic energy con-
ference which has Just opened at the
United Nations. The hope rests on the
demonstrated fact that the atom, feared
since Hiroshima as destroyer Of men
and cities, can be harneSsed for construc-
tive, beneflcent purposes. 1t will be the
task of this unprecedented conference to
set up an international agency to foster
the peaceful uses Of atomic energy on a
worldwide scale.
No cooperative venture in history
has held more promise of good for man
kind than the atomic agency now in the
making, in pursuance of President Eisen-
hower's bold proposal of 1853 for the
peaceful pooling of international atomic
resources and know-how The immediate
job of the delegates to the conference is
the adoption Of proposed statute to
create the fateful agency and guide its
operations. A draft of the statute has
been prepared by IL of the leading ma
tons in the movement, for consideration
by the whole assembly.
AS listed by Chairman Lewis Strauss
Of the Atomic Energy Commission, the
statute (Which eventually must be APP
proved by the legislative bodies of all
participating countries) would authorize
the diversion of substantial amounts of
fashionable materials from A-bomb fac
tories to laboratories dedicated to peaceful
uses of atomic power, would stimulate
research in medical. power and like fields
of atomic energy, would aid nations not
now equipped for nuclear research and
development to join in the program and
would encourage young scientists to spe-
cialize in the efforts to unlock more of
the secrets of the atom-for the welfare
of all peoples.
All of this great program will be con-
tingent, of course, on what the future
holds for the world in an era of feveriSh
preparations for possible nuclear warfare.
For as long as the shadow of the hydrogen
bomb threatens the peace of the world,
the use of the atom for constructive pur-
poses will tend to be subordinated to its
destructive potentialities. Perhaps the
new agency will play part in bringing
agreement on system of control that
will end the threat for all time.
