LEWIS AND CLARK RETURN TO MONTANA
One hundred and fifty years ago this spring Capts. Meri-
wether Lewis and William Clark, on the greatest land explora-
ton in history, returned across part of Montana from the Pa
cific Coast.
In the year before they had reached the mouth of the Column
ba River after spending much of the summer in Montana on
the Missouri and its tributaries
In the two crossings of the Treasure State, in 1905 and
1906, the expedition spent more time and covered more miles
than in any other state.
The travellers left Montana in October of 1905 and returned
To its present boundaries in June of 1905 from Fort Clatsop,
at the mouth Of the Columbia, where the expedition had win

A Lot of Plans

White House Press Secretary jim
Hagerty has announced that President
Eisenhower has "a lot of plans for the
campaign" Exactly what they are, Mr..
Hagerty declines to reveal just now but
he added intriguingly that 1--WE are in a
new age-an electronicS age-and We
have lot of ideas and lot of thoughts
on how to campaign" Presumably, Mr..
Hagerty is thinking primarily of televi-
sion and radio. There had been indica-
lions before that the President would de-
pend largely on these electronicS media
to present to the American people his case
for a second term. AS media, their effec-
tiveness has been proved and it is not UNI
likely that the technique for utilizing
them may be refined and improved in the
months to come Mr.. Eisenhower already
has demonstrated his own talents at talk
ing to the Nation, and projecting his own
personality, through these means.
There are other aspects of Mr..
Hagerty's weekend announcements that
are deserving of comment. First, was the
franknesS and detail of his reporting on
the findings of the doctors after their
examination of the President at Walter
Reed Army Hospital. 1t was, of course,
in the pattern that was set almost i'm
mediately after Mr.. EiSenhower'S heart
attack last fall, but it is reassuring as a
campaign develops that this concept OF
faithful reporting on a question of OBJ
viouS Importance still prevails. No PreSi-
dent before ever has been subjected to
this degree of authoritative public eX-
animation" of his physical well-being. 1t
is precedent that may yield high returns
to the national welfare.
Second, in order if not in Importance,
was the conclusion of the doctors that
the Presidents general condition con-
tinues good" that the injury to his heart
is "well healed" and that he is, in short,
in normally fine shape. Mr.. EiSenhower's
attack last September brought forth a
flood of messages expressing hope for his
full recovery. These hopes have been
encouraged through his long and careful
convalescence and are encouraged fur
Their by this latest examination. His an
nounced willingness to run for a second
term was predicated on his belief that he
is fully able to discharge the duties OF
office. The latest findings of the doctors
support that belief.
There will be valid issues between
the two parties in this ampaign-among
them farm policies, the conduct of foreign
affairs and the handling of other domestic
problems 1t is gratifying that certain
Democratic spokesman are re-emphasiz-
ing these differences while expressing
pleasure at the good report on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's health.

BeIuted Conservation

Arlington County's effort to share In
the benefits of the Capper- Cramton park
preservation program is 26 years late
but even belated start on stream-valley
protection is justified When the Capper-
Cramton legislation was pending more
than a quarter of a century ago both
Virginia and Maryland were invited to
become partners with the Federal Gov
eminent in the whole program. Maryland
accepted, but Virginia agreed only to join
in plans for extension of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway along the
river to Great Falls. 1t declined to join
in a stream-v valley development under
taking, with Federal aid.
This lack of foresight on Virginia's
part has been regretted by Arlington and
Fairfax officials in recent years. AS both
counties have grown, there have been
steady encroachments into park areas
which would have been adequately safe
guarded under the Capper- Cramton pro-
gram The shrinkage of these park areas
has deprived the two counties of land
which ought to have been set aside years
ago for recreational and scenic purposes
Creek and other stream valleys. However,
there are still few open areas in Airing
ton and Fairfax Counties which can be
preserved against further residential or
business encroachment They could have
been acquired ten or twenty years ago at
far less cost than now, of course, but the
price will continue to rise If purchase is
delayed. Action now would be possible
If Virginia finally we're to be included in
the stream-valley protection appropria-
lions of the Capper- Cramton Act.
Congress in 1852, at virginia's re-
quest, amended the original law so as to
authorize Arlington and Fairfax to par
ticipate, but neither county has taken
advantage of the amendment until re-
Gently, when the Arlington County Board
decided to ask for Federal funds. The
National Capital Planning Commission
has promised to cooperate in working
out an agreement under which one-third
the cost of buying park land would be
paid by the Federal Government. The
dollars spent now will not go as far as they
would have gone years ago. but the in
vestment will be worthwhile nevertheless.

Transit Strike Ban

If Senator Lehman was cor
rectIy reported in The Star as
saying there had not been any
strikes on the publicly owned
transit system in New York
and that 1--WE haven't needed
any" ban on striking, he is
guilty of seriously misleading
his colleagues.
Technically he may be COR
rect but there is a very strin-
gent law in New York that
makes it illegal for such a pub
lie authority to rehire strikers
within a certain time and pro-
vides other penalties for strik-
ers. While this may not say
in words of one syllable that
there shall be no strikes, it
goes much further than such
a prohibition and needless to
say is equally effective. Would
Senator Lehman be willing to
insert such a provision in the
proposed Washington transit
authority bill?

Only a Palliative

Considering the nature of the prob
lem with which 1t must deal, the District
once of Civil Defense has done a
worthwhile job in preparing its map Of
evacuation routes for the guidance of
Washingtonians in the event of threat
ened atomic or hydrogen-bomb attack.
For the map, which is now being distrib-
uted by the tens of thousands, is we'll
designed to be a large-scale life saver
and all of us could do worse than get
1t clearly delineated in our minds.
OF course, II Washington we're at
tackled without any warning whatever,
this design for escape would be utterly
useless. However, given advance notice
of approaching enemy bombers three or
four hours away, much of our population,
by following the routes shown on the new
map, could be saved. And this would hold
true even If large numbers fled into the
downwind zone 'of radioactive fallout-
a zone in which simple protective meas
ureS, such as moving to the basement Of
ones home, would greatly increase the
chances of survival.
Needless to say, even under the most
favorable circumstances adequate fore
warning, no panic in the streets, smooth
flowing traffic and proper protection in
the fallout area), big percentage Of us
would die in nuclear or thermometer
attack on our city. Yet orderly evacu-
alton would enable thousands to survive,
and that is the objective of the District
plan. AS explained by Chairman Herbert
p. Leeman Of the Citizens Civil Defense
Advisory Council, the basic idea behind
1t is to try to save as many lives as we
can and to avoid unnecessary loss and
suffering" in what would at best be a
CHASTITY shambles. Certainly, viewed in
that light-as an undertaking calculated
to salvage as much as possible from
catastrophe-it is an altogether praise
worthy project.
Still, with that said, the fact remains
that this evacuation plan could be no
more than mere palliative even II there

The Sensible Way Out

The House bill to restore Capital
Transit Company's franchise is a COM
nonsense way out of the existing transit
mess. It will be approved If there is
genuine desire to see private transit
operation continue in Washington. The
interim authority bill, passed in the
Senate last week, means Government
ownership in its least desirable form.
Under the House bill, private opera
ton of a debt-free company with SUBJ
stantial cash reserve and sound assets
would continue under conditions that
should make it workable. Under the
Senate's interim authority bill, the Com
miSSionerS, after Seizing what they want
OF the transit property and paying for
it with public funds, are authorized to
sell 1t to a private operator If one turns
up In the next three years. Even those
who wrote and supported the Senate bill,
however, are publicly skeptical that any
such thing will happen. Once Govern
ment sets up its version of a transit
operation and gets into business with
new payroll, the taxpayers are going to
be stuck with it from that time on.
Consider, on the other hand, the
strong likelihood of what would happen
under the House bill. There is reason
to believe that the WolfSon interests, with
the recorded consent of other stock
holders, would be willing to dispose of
their own holdings and get out. It is
believed that the money to buy them out
would be available. Under predominantly
local control, with inducements by way
Of realistic concessions based on the
highly competitive character of what is
no longer private monopoly, privately
owned and public-Serving operation could
succeed. The House bill, at any rate,
offers practical way to find out, without
the Governments invoking the extraor-
binary powers of eminent domain to de-
stroy company because some politicians
are painting to vent their spleen on one
of its stockholders. Private financing to
produce change in controlling ownership
is unlikely, however, until existing legiS-
lative uncertainties are removed, and
private ownership is given another trial.
The House should pass the bill pre-
sented by its Commerce Committee, and
insist that it become law. If experience
reveals no reasonable or demonstrable
alternative to public ownership of transit
in Washington, we should get into it
through the front door with sound
authority bill written in the conviction
that it is the right thing to do. Let's
not slip in through the back door, piouSly
protesting public ownership, but wailing
that it is wrong for Wolfson to be a
transit stakeholder!

Even a small parcel Of
ground. as it is sometimes
