Siding With Dems
Costly COP Told

publican leader Joseph Martin
earlier last week warned MS
party in the House OF Repre-
sentatives, not to side WIN
Southern Democrats to scutue
the general civil rights Din
which had the Eisenhower ho-

In an unusual speech. Martin
said: IF the Republican Parry
follows the Southern Democrats
in helping to defeat this DILL
Republicans will regret 1t every
day of the coming election

Craftsmanship in Madrid

Morocco's quickening pace toward
unity and independence carried the North
African country long step forward last
week when the Spanish government de-
clared an end to its protectorate. 1t was
a development that came with almost
surprising ease after brief period Of
negotiations, a confirming announcement
IN Madrid and a state visit by Sultan
Mohammed Ben YouSsef to Generalissimo
Franco in the Spanish capital.
For Morocco, it means that country
divided since 1912 with French rule pre-
vailing in one part and Spanish in an
other, becomes a single geographic entity.
Only the international zone around Tan
gier will remain under foreign control.
In separate negotiations, the Ben Youssef
government will now work out the terms
of its continuing relations with Paris and
Madrid. In the latter case in fact, talks
already are under way with reassuring
pledges from the two chiefs of state.
Spain's principal detectives, 1t is under
Stood are military alliance, safeguards
for Spanish nationals and investments
in Morocco and continued control of two
Mediterranean ports.
For Spain, the agreement marks an
other commendable accomplishment In
its recent conduct of foreign affairs. With
Arab nationalism becoming an increas-
ingly strong force in the Mediterranean
Middle East area, the Franco govern
ment placed its relationship with the
Arab states on solid foundation through
economic and cultural agreements ini-
tailed in 1882 While maintaining official
neutrality in the French-Moroccan crisis,
Madrid was unoff1cially sympathetic to
the Moroccan independence movement.
Against this background, the Spanish
willingness to free its part of the North
African territory is logical and should
add further to Spanish prestige in the
area.
From the American standpoint, these
orderly developments also have welcome
significance. We have important military
installations in both Spain and Morocco.
Their security is better assured under
conditions of political stability within the
two countries, as well as by friendly re-
lationships between them. SPANS Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, Don Alberto
Artajo, leading figure in the negotia-
ton Of our own agreement on the Iberian
air and naval bases and in clearing the
way to Moroccan independence, will be a
visitor In Washington this week. He
comes at time when his part in directing
his governments foreign policy reflects
high order Of craftsmanship.

CITY of CoIIeoe Park

College Parks phenomenal growth
during the past decade has transformed
the once-Small college town into a thirty
ing residential and business community
that we'll merits being called city. SO
it is not surprising that the residents of
what is now Prince Georges Countys
largest incorporated area have decided to
adopt city form of government.
College Parks development has par
alleled that of the University of Maryland
and of its predecessor, the old Maryland
Agricultural College In the days of
an. A. c." (old-timerS will recall those
letters on the Jerseys of the institutions
athletes) the little hamlet was known as
College Station. 1t was then little more
than station on the main line Of the
Baltimore b Ohio Railroad The town
took on livelier aspect in the early part
OF the century as result of the estab-
liShmeni of an "airdrome" where the
Wright brothers, Glenn Curtis and other
aviation pioneers demonstrated their
crude airplanes to the Army and taught
some of the first Army pilots how to fly.
1t was not until after World War II,
however, that College Park really began
to grow, by leaps and bounds. The pop
ulation has increased by 10000 since l945
--outstripping its one-time bigger neigh
Dor, Hyattsville. And the new city will
have another square mile of territory and
500 additional residents II an annexation
referendum in the communities of Sunny
side and White House is favorable. We
of the big city on the Potomac welcome
the blossoming into full maturity of the
little city adjoining the MU campus.

Still a Parking Lot

The Fine Arts Commission regards
a parking area for automobiles as park
ing lot, even though it may be officially
designated as driveway with space
for parking The commission has seen
the sad effects of allowing grassy plots
around Federal buildings to be taken over
by parkerS. What happened to the park
behind the District Building should not
be permitted to happen to other public
buildings in the Federal Triangle. The
commission is on sound ground, therefore,
in opposing plans of the Post Office De-
partment to convert grass plots on two
sides of It's building into "driveways with
parking spaces"
Both the Fine Arts Commission and
the National Capital Planning Commits
sion have objected to the departmental
plan. NCPC officials have pointed out
that, in addition to the esthetic angle
which guided the Fine Arts Commission
in its opinion, there would be created a
new traffic problem on the Twelfth street
side of the building. This block is used
by Alexandria bound buses as a loading
station. We hope the Post Office De-
partment will consign its parking plan
to the dead letter division

Operation Courtesy

Army life is taking on new peace

manders promptly Furthermore, the
commanders must return the calls within

cards are recommended And just to
indicate the Army does not really feel
clannish, it is suggested that similar
social calls be paid upon Navy, Air Force

Your reporter. Alex Preston,
is to be commended for his
fine article concerning the
muddled. miXed-up, foolish,
antique taxi rates that pre-
vail in and about the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area. It
is too bad he could not have
had more time and space to
spread this necessary news to
more people, as well as con-
vince the -that-be, who
are responsible for such a con-
condition as exists. WASH
ington, of all places, should be
a model for the entire coun-
try instead of being the laugh
ing stock OF the entire world.
Briefly. the whole situation
can be corrected In the Dis
trict of Columbia, within a
matter Of hours. simply by
Congress allowing the Public
Utilities Commission to per-
form It's lawful duties with
out interference by a few self
ish, uniformed members Of
that great assembly. who are
elected to represent the masses
and not a chosen few.

Volunteer Teachers

While the teacher load re-
mains high. while the need for
remedial reading and arithme-
tic seems to be the biggest
problem in the District integ-
rated school system. and while
Congress debates. there is one
project that might be tried
without delay
There are many women in
Washington. eX-teachers or
women with enough educa-
tional background to qualify,
who would be willing and able
to assist with slow readers in
the school system. Truancy is
often traceable to reading diff
ficulties, when the boy or girl
has feeling Of inferiority and
isolation.
Why can't an intensive
training course in the tech
niques of remedial reading and
arithmetic be given TO a volun-
teer group of interested women
who could then be assigned to
schools where they are needed?
This Is not meant as a perma-
nent cure TO our school ills but
an immediate salve to help a
sorry situation.
o. W. Rauh.
