Mr.. Golf, when it was his turn
said that one of the difficulties
was "overzealouS" individuals.
The Foreign Agents Registra-
ton Act of 1888 originally
required only foreign agents in
the United States to file and
label their propaganda. A ruling
of the Attorney General in 1910
however, made it applicable to
all agents of foreign principals
outside the United States The
proposed amendments would
write this ruling into the statute
Another opponent of the bill,
Werner w. Clapp, Chief Assistant
Librarian of the Library of Con-

make it necessary for the mail
clerk of the oxford University
Press of England to register as
an agent of a foreign principal
Failing that, he said, the Ameri-
can Libraries receiving material

humping along under the Lead

Cabin John Bridue

There was time not so long ago
when the proposal for Potomac River
bridge at Cabin John was something to
be filed away for future consideration"
However, the picture has changed in the
past year, as result of the determination
of the Central Intelligence Agency to
build it's new home near Langley, Virginia.
If the CHA Langley project materializes,
as now seems probable, a bridge at Cabin
John will be virtually necessity. The
time is at hand to pull the bridge plan off
the shelf and give it immediate study.
The National Capital Regional Planning
Council is showing commendable leader
ship, therefore, in pressing for such a
study.
-r The problem of bridge in the Cabin
John area requires INTERPRETATIONS
consultation and agreement. Involved are
not only the Federal Government, which
will have to put up most of the money
for the project, but Maryland, Virginia
and the District. Maryland and Virginia
are concerned with the approaches, if not
with the financing of part of the cost.
In fact, Maryland and Virginia had indi-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-02

Gated some time ago their willingness
at some future time-to build the bridge.
If the project is taken into the proposed
interstate highway system, up to 80 per
cent of the cost could be assessed against
the United States, under the new highway
financing plan.
The Districts sole interest in the
Cabin John bridge is in its potential value
as traff1c-relief project for Washington.
A bridge at Cabin John would be an es-
sential link in the long-planned outer
highway belt around the District Thus,
it is proper to include representative of
the District in the Cabin John bridge
conferences. But the District will be only
bystander when the questions of financ
ing and construction are taken up at the
interjurisdictional meetings.

Miss Lucv's EMULSION

The latest turn of events in the case
of Autherine Lucy raises an issue which
can be resolved only by the court
On Wednesday, Federal Judge Hobart
Grooms ordered the young woman re-
admitted to the University of Alabama.
She was expelled the next day by the
university trustees.
This action was based on formal
accusation filed in the court last month
by Miss Lucy, through her attorney. In
this document she accused the university
authorities of bad faith, alleging that
they Intentionally permitted the riots
which marked her earlier appearance at
the school as part of "subterfuge" and
cunning stratagem" to exclude her. On
Wednesday her attorney moved to dismiss
this complaint, stating that latter care
full investigation we are unable to produce
any evidence to support these allega-
tons"
One would think that if the COM
plant was made in good faith it would
not have been filed with the court
without prior investigation to ascertain
whether there was any basis for the
charges. For the accusations were pub
liShed around the world, and the effect
was to discredit the university author
tiles without the slightest basis for doing
so Certainly this is a serious matter.
Standing alone it would seem to justify
the expulsion of Miss Lucy, or any other
student, for that matter, who had been
guilty of such conduct. In this instance,
however, the expulsion has to be APP
praised against the whole background of
the. case. Was Miss Lucy expelled be-
cause she made the unwarranted charges,
or because she is Negro? Which was the
real motivation behind the action of the
trustees? This is the question which the
court will have to decide if Miss Lucy.

Still Morkino Time

Veterans Administrator Harvey
Higley has good cause to be impatient
over the frustrating delays that continue
to plague the long-planned veterans
hospital for the Washington area Orig
inally authorized in 1947 and designated
as part of an impressive medical center
on the Soldiers Home grounds, the
project still is marking time Nobody is
sure where the hospital will be built, or
when. Meanwhile the need for more ade-
quate hospital facilities for veterans in
this region is growing.
The confusion over the new hospital
has arisen as a result of uncertainties
over civil defense in the nuclear age Not
so long ago dispersal policy was in effect
that blocked further Federal conStruc-
ton in such target zone as the District
of Columbia. Tests with the hydrogen
bomb, however, caused an official "reap-
praisal' of the dispersal program. The
more powerful bomb rendered obsolete
radial standards for locating buildings
away from the center of Washington.
More recently the old dispersal program
was strapped in favor of policy which
permits heads of agencies much latitude
in the selection of sites for new buildings.
The former dispersal rules prompted
the VA to begin search for sites farther
from the center of the city than Soldiers
Home. But the hunt proved futile, for
medical authorities insisted that the new
hospital must be convenient to medical
schools and city clinics, on which the VA
relies for staff assistance The Soldiers
Home site was ideal from the doctors
standpoint, for it was adjacent to the
Emergency Garfield Episcopal hospital
center being built there. Administrator
Higley said that when it seemed that the
revised civil defense policy would permit
resumption of planning for the Soldiers
Home site, word was received that the
location would be approved only if the
hospital contained protective construc-
ton" So far, however, he has been I'M
able to learn just what that term means.
We hope that these and any other OBJ
StacleS in the way of prompt construc-
ton of the VA hospital will be cleared
away soon. The present outmoded and
overcrowded veterans hospital, Mount
Alto, cannot be expected to carry the
whole burden Indefinitely.

FriendH Reaction Ah-ord

Presidential elections in the United
States prompt an understandable degree
of apprehension, or at least impatient
suspense in foreign countries. A possible
change in administrations here implies
possible change in our foreign policy.
1t was for this reason, despite General
Eisenhower'S wide personal popularity in
Europe, that considerable European senti-
ment in 1852 tended to favor continuance
of Democratic administration in this
country. Europe was acquainted with and
adjusted to the Truman-Acheson foreign
policy It was not so sure what the policy
of Republican President and Secretary
of State might be-
1t is now not surprising that the
announcement of President Eisenhower's
willingness to run for second term has
been warmly received in these same
countries, in Europe and elsewhere. For
despite interparty differences here,
American foreign policy remains funda-
mentally one of international co-opera-
tion-primarily economic aid and mill
tary support-within the free world COM
munity. Along with this, President Eisen-
hover himself undoubtedly added to his
personal popularity by his attendance
and conduct at the Geneva summit"
conference last year and by his other
gestures of good will toward friendly ma
tions abroad.
Official spokesman, quite properly,
are guarded in their comment on grounds
that they should not intrude on our
domestic politics. Editorial comment,
however, is less inhibited and Mr.. Eisen-
hover has reason to feel pleased at the
friendly reaction that has greeted his
momentous decision.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

To be a finicky child is tc
lay up disappointment for
yourself as a child.
To be a little roughneck, is
to make sure of troubles later:
The f1nicky kid may out
grow most of his juvenile wor-
ries, whereas the young
roughneck gets worse and
worse, or at least so it seems to
Templeton Jones.
Jones was, as a little one,
extremely troublesome.
He was afraid of dogs, also
of umbrellas.
Since there was no Freud
then, nobody had any au-
thority to turn to except old
Doc Jones-no relation-and
he never said anything except,
HE will outgrow it,"
X x X
In the meantime, young
Temp Jones didn't outgrow it
at all.
He screamed bloody murder
every time some mild old
pooch, with the lovelight in
his eyes, happened to ramble
along the sidewalk.
AS for umbrellas, they were
akin to deadly sin, or some
thing, in the young mind.
He'll outgrow it," indeed,
not when there was old Rover
going along, minding his own
business, but sending the
young child into fits just the
: same.
When the boy grew to the
reading age, he still kept his
finicky ways.
He liked his books just so,
with pages clean and unrum-
pied, covers unsmeared and
not dog-eared.
TOO finicky for this world"
said old Aunt Lucy, shifting.
Aunt Lucy was the village
pest, but at the same time she
did a great deal of good after
her peculiar fashion.
She washed and swept, and
cleaned and dug out dirt wher-
ever she found it, without fear
or favor.
Aunt Lucy had a tight roll
of hair at the back of her
head, and a tiny grim mouth,
and enough padding to equip
three women.
THAT child" she said, when
she saw young Jones and his
books, will come to no good
end"
Pressed for his probable end
ing, Aunt Lucy pointed a fig
urative thumb at the peniten-
tiary.
All boys. according to Aunt
Lucy, ended up there.

Bitter With the Sweet

occasionally we hear COM
plants about radio and TV
commercials.
Commercials may be COM
pared with life itself. In going
through life we have to accept
the bitter with the sweet. 1t
seems that we cannot have one
without the other.
So. let's be more tolerant to-
ward these commercials to
which we are deeply indebted
for the entertainment we en-
joy on television and radio.
You might say the same for
the advertisements in our
newspapers. If it were not for
advertisements, newspapers
could not survive. Advertise
mentS are the main source of
revenue for newspaper, and
really belong in the same cate

and radio. Very often CONNER
Gals and advertisements pro-
vide valuable information that
