the commerce and welfare clauses
of the Constitution as most prob
able examples.
The difference between those
decisions and the one on Segre-
CATION is simply this: The people
at least a majority Of them. were
willing to accept those decisions
But the anti-segregation ruling
interpositionists say. affects the
daily lives of hundreds of thou
sands of persons. many of them
unwilling to accept the ruling.
This line of reasoning would
seem to reduce the meaning OF
the Constitution. and apparently
the authority of the Supreme
Court to interpret it, to a def
milton Of what the people are
willing to put up with or abide by
Checks and Balances
Just so, interpositionists con-
tend, for, in the executive
judicial Legislative system OF
Federal Government, there is an
interlocking system of checks
and balances. And who. ulti-
mately, is to check on the validity
Of the decisions Of the court?
The people themselves, inter-
positionists answer. At least, a
majority of the people, and the
way to determine the will of the
people is to propose an amend
ment to the Federal constitution
which will affirm or reject the
decision.

A MAN stood beside his
parked automobile on Calvert
street. His hands>were on his
hips and there was a grim
look on his face as he watched
the cars toll past. He voiced
the usual criticism of the new
conner:
IF I were back in Ohio,
there wouldn't be all this
trouble over a little bit Of
Ice"
What he failed to empha-
size was that his own car was
parked, while the natives were
making the effort to get to
work.
And another, just before his
auto Skidded sideways across
the street, blocking traffic,
grumbled:
If these people would get
out of my way, I could make
some time"
In contrast was the man in
the rear seat of a chauffeur
driven limousine on Connecti-
cut avenue. The car bore dip
lomatic license plates, and
the passenger had the COM
pleXion of one from a SUMMER,
easier cline.
He was slouched comforta-
bly,, reading a newspaper. and
letting his bored chauffeur
worry about getting him
where he was going.

BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE

The Federal commission set
up to plan an auditorium and
cultural center in Washington
has decided to reach no policy
decisions until an advisory group
of experts has time to study all
possibilities.
The commission, at an all-day
session yesterday, heard a pre-
Iliminary rundown on nine pos
Isible sites--including Roosevelt
Memorial Island and saw
sketches of how the center might
look If certain facilities are in
Icluded.
But 1t followed the advice OF
Its technical advisers-a board
of eight prominent architectural,
planning and engineering firms
that this is not the time for
decisions either on the site or
makeup of the center.
Time Table Set up
Charles Luckman of Pereira
and Luckman, the firm co-ordi-
mating the studies. set up this
ambitious time liable:
BY February /, the Advisory
Board will give the commission
three or four" possible designs
for the center. and narrow the
sites to three or four possibilities
BY May / it will be a single
strong recommendation" show
ing precisely what the center
might include, its architectural
layout and its location.
The description of sites under
study ranged from Foggy Bot
tom to the far northeast, and
covered their general physical
characteristics. The only sur
prise in the group was Roosevelt
Island. the wilderness memorial
in the d-Potomac near the
Lincoln Memorial.
Mr.. Luckman stressed. how
ever, that neither the island nor
the other sites have been studied
extensively and that nothing has
been determined as to their suit
ability or availability.
Given Free Hand
Congress. which authorized
the study last year. said the
center should include an audi
forum, a place for presidential
Iinaugurations. music facilities
and a mass communication
center. 1t put no strings on how
the commission should interpret
the facilities.

| firm yesterday showed sketches
Iof ABOUT 20 possibilities. with

ditoriums in various layouts and

The wags and the critics are
always out in force whenever
the weather Snarls Washing
tons rush-hour traffic.
Yesterday was no excep-
ton.
On Wisconsin avenue, along
that normally fast section be-
tween Western avenue and
Bradley boulevard, two work
bound maids had been trying
for what seemed like hours
to find a hole in the creeping
traffic so they could walk
across the street.
Il got up early this morn
ing" one said disgustedly,
but now I'm later than ever"
In an automobile which was
part of the morning crawl, a
woman told her driving hus-
band:
It'll be noon before we get
downtown. And if we don't
leave at noon, We'll never get
home"
A wrecker, some 20 minutes
and two miles later along
Wisconsin avenue, was well
equipped-with chains on the
tires and a sandbag comfort
ably perched near the tall
gate.
But the hood was up, and
the driver was leaning inside,
giving himself emergency
road service. A pair of teen
agers-they may recently
have been reading a history
of the ancientS-walked past
and shouted:
Get a horse!"

On a crowded elevator, a
man was saying:
Hes a worrier. He worried

he worried about whether he
ought to vote. Then he wor-
ried about whether he ought
