Besides the outlines, we
caught colds, poison ivy and

Beauty Enchanced
The beauty of the courthouse
lawn was further enhanced last
week when several flower beds
were prepared by Custodian Dick
Fogle. The geraniums of many
colored blooms add much to the
attractiveness of the courthouse
lawn.

The Long Walk
Jon David Fast was to meet his
father at 1870 a. m. Thursday
but school was dismissed a half
hour earlier so thereby hangs a
tale. A member of the third
grade here in Caldwell, his father
is principal of the Belle Valley
school. So Jon David walked the
three miles to Belle Valley and
then on up to the grade school
looking for his father, who in
the meantime was in Caldwell
looking for his son. The nine
year-old was a tired little boy
that night when he went to bed.

Eisenhower Recruit

The enlistment of Adam Clayton
Powell, jr., in the Eisenhower for Presi-
dent camp is not an unmixed political
blessing, 1t is development which has
both plus and minus side, and no one
can say with any certainty whether it
will turn out, on balance, to be political
asset or liability.
Mr. Powell, New York Negro con-
gresham, is an incorporating cham
pion of the Negro cause. 1t was his anti
segregation rider which, more than any
other single thing, killed the school con-
struction bill in the last session of
Congress.
In 1852 he supported Adlai Steven
son. Only few days ago he announced
that he would not vote for either Mr..
Stevenson or President Eisenhower. But
after conference at the White House
last week, he emerged to announce that
he had changed his mind and that he
would campaign actively for the Presi-
dent. Two reasons were given-that he
and the Negro race had been "Snubbed"
by Mr. Stevenson, and that he preferred
the Presidents stand on civil rights
1t is reasonable to suppose that Mr..
Powell will be able to influence Negro
votes in certain areas. He intends to
campaign in eight or ten cities where
there are large blocS of Negro votes and
this may have considerable effect, If not
on the presidential race, in close and cru
cial House and Senate contests. But the
enlistment of Mr.. Powell under the
Eisenhower banner is going to hurt the
Republican chances in the South. In
Virginia, for instance, where all signs
have pointed to very close race between
Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.. Stevenson, the
Powell announcement might very well
tip the scales in favor of the Democratic
candidate. And much the same thing
must be true in Florida and Texas which
Mr. Eisenhower had been given some
chance to carry.
So here again is an illustration of
the point that there is no such thing in
politics as one-edged sword, especially
where Special-interest groups are con-
cerned. That which helps in one section
hurts in another, and the Powell indorse-
ment of the President is bound to cut
both ways.

Anniversary at DC. VILLAGE

Today marks the beginning Of
weeks celebration of the f1ftieth ami
versary of 1.-The Home for the Aged and
Infrm" at Blue Plains, known now as
D. c. Village. When it was built in 1906
it was regarded as something Of a model
for institutions of the kind. It's construc-
ton did mark a notable step forward.
Fifty years before that, in 1856, the
Washington Asylum, at Nineteenth and
B streets Sc, was only ten years old.
It accommodated the former population
of three poor houses" and was in itself
a vast improvement. Yet Washington
historian, visiting the institution in 1880,
wrote of his Impressions: 1--WE passed
through a part of the building where
among old, toothleSs women, Semi-im
beetle girls-relictS of error . few
yards off, though out of hearing, were
the thick forms of criminals, drunkards,
wantonS and Migrants, seen through the
iron bars of their wicket !. The asso-
citation of the poor and the wicked af-
fected us greatly. Almost under the same
roof the vicious are lodged for punish
ment and the unfortunate for refuge"
The model institution at Blue
Plains, only twenty years ago, had fallen
into comparable disrepute. Some 72O
senile aged, feeble-minded young, cpl
leptics, alcoholics, non-violent insane,
the diseased and the dying, were herded
together in anonymous misery. Mrs.
Roosevelt, paying an unscheduled visit,
shocked the community by her descrip-
ton of what she found. There was
Congressional investigation, policies were
changed, a full-time doctor was hired,
the staff enlarged. Two years ago new
hospital was opened and finally stated

which had become associated in the
public mind with "the end Of the road,

Village. signifying new and expanded
approach to services for the aging in this
city.
One reason for this weeks golden
anniversary observance is that 1t marks
the gradual transition from yesterdays
poorhouSe to the institution Of the future,
OF which D. c. Village today offers an
encouraging, II incomplete, glimpse.

Authoritative Appraisal

Members Of a grand jury are In a
particularly good position to appraise the
quality of law enforcement In commu-
nifty. They hear testimony as to the
nature and extent of crime. They also
are confronted with first-hand evidence
Of police efforts to cope with murderers,
robbers, drug peddlers and all the other
gangsters and lone-wolf hoodlums that
roam the streets. 1t is gratifying there
fore, to have the retiring grand Jury
express high praise of the Metropolitan
Police Department in general and OF its
chief, Major Robert v. Murray, in
particular.
Leo A. Cold, foreman Of the summer
grand jury, said he was voicing the senti-
ments of the entire panel when he wrote
an unusual letter to Chief Murray in
praise OF "the excellence" of police work,
as revealed during the three-month
sitting. The letter added: Throughout
all our hearings it has been evident that
the morale of your department is ex-
tremely high. that the skill Of its leaders
is Of exceptional caliber and that the
attention to duty Of all ranks is constant
and exemplary" That such commen-
dation is deserved is attested by the
splendid record Of the local force in re-
ducing the amount Of serious crime here
during the past year-and at a time when
lawlessness elsewhere in the Nation was
taking a sharp trend upward.

contend that the District of Columbia
should pay. one-third share" OF the
cost of maintaining the proposed Wood
row Wilson bridge at Jones Point. The
claim rests on the fact that small
section of the water under the new bridge
is SHOWN on the map as within District
Jurisdiction. But if this were to be
accepted as basis for allocating main
tenance costs, Maryland should pay most
of the upkeep expenses, for nearly all of
the long span will be built over part of
the Potomac River that is claimed by
Maryland. None of the river is within
Virginia's territory. The District Com
miSSioners are justified in refusing to
accept any part of the maintenance bill.
Congress wisely ignored the water
under the bridge situation in decreeing
that Maryland and Virginia should split
the cost of maintaining the bridge,
without any help from the District. The
District previously had agreed to expend
nearly $40 million on the AnacoStia Free
way approach to the bridge, providing an
essential link between Virginia and Mary
land for traffic using the Baltimore
Washington Parkway. The act author
izing the bridge recognized that this
project was different from all previous
similar projects in the Washington Met
ropolitan Area, since the new bridge was
intended primarily to serve Maryland,
Virginia and points north and south. 1t
will provide bypass around Washington
for through traffic. Why should WASH
ington be asked to share maintenance
costs equally with Maryland and Virginia
for such a non-DiStrict undertaking?
1t cannot be said that the District
has not borne its share of bridge main
tenance costs up to now, either. Although
Virginia has benefited directly from the
two Fourteenth street bridges and the
Key and Chain bridges, the entire cost
of maintaining these structures has been
assumed by the District. The District
also has paid for most of the construc-
ton involved in providing such important
connections to Virginia. For Virginia and
Maryland now to balk at dividing the
relatively small maintenance cost of the
Jones Point bridge ESTIMATED at 100000
a year, is uncalled for and unreasonable.

Those H-Bomb Tests

Adlai Stevenson, who will speak
again on the subject tomorrow night,
has served clear notice that he intends
to keep on making campaign issue OF
our country'S hydrogen bomb tests. He
wants an international agreement to put
an end to them Cat one time he suggested
that we experiment with unilateral dis
continuance) even though the agreement
itself would offer no fool-proof guaran-
tees against Soviet violations and eva
SionS. He thinks this can be done without
any risk to our national security or Scien-
tific progress. Judging from what our
highest atomic authorities have said,
however, he is wrong and in the PreSi-
dents view, he is wrong in way that
tends to create confusion at home and
misunderstanding abroad.
Our Government, of course, is on
record as being ready to stop testing and
to control the use of all instruments of
mass destruction within the framework
of an effectively policed international
disarmament program. But up to now
the Kremlin has adamantly refused to
agree to such program, and it has been
engaging at the same time in an about
effort to equal or even SurpaSS us in the
atomic field. Accordingly, as the PreSi-
dent has warned, our experimentation
in Nevada and the Pacific continues to
be vital to the Nations safety. Our most
recent tests, for example, have helped us
to know how to design and produce nu-
clear weapons for the defense of our
cities against enemy air attack. And
equally important, as DR.. Libby of the
Acc has just confirmed, they have en-
abled our country to succeed in produc-
ing less inhumane H-bomb with IAN
inherently smaller amount of fallout"-
a development full of great military
promise.
Yet, if the Democratic presidential
nominee were to have his way, there
would be no such tests. Instead, even
without ironclad assurances against the
danger of Soviet bad faith, our country
would debar itself from all further ex-

to make his position sound more sensible
in his speech tomorrow. At the moment,
though, it has all the earmarks Of being
about as unrealistic and as unwiSe as
anything could be.
