The plant is that of Standard

William D. Shaw, plant man
ager, said about 25 employees will
be held over. A few will go to
other cities where the company
has plants. Some will remain to
close the plant and make me-
chanical repairs and some will
be retained to work in the pro-
duction of vinegar, which will
be continued. The vinegar

Flexible Nonsense

The same gentlemen on the Senate
District Committee who engineered in
Congress the superb transit fiasco of last
summer have come up with brand-new
idea for an even more magnificent one
next summer.
In brief, the plan is to set up tenn
porary or interim public transportation
authority" for, say one to three years.
At the end of that time, presumably,
something else might turn up. At least
the election campaign will be over. This
authority must be flexible" The reason
flexibility is required is simply this: There
is now in progress mass transit study
of the Metropolitan Area, costing $780,
900. Nobody knows what it is going to
find out. One gathers, however, that with
fexibility the transit authority can go
one way if the transit study finds one
thing; it can go another way If the transit
study finds something else. With adequate
flexibility, of course, the transit authority
could go both ways at once. What all this
would cost, nobody seems to know. 1t
probably makes no difference, for the cost
would be borne by the taxpayers.
This flexible and interim transit
authority, the Senators say, should be
placed "Squarely in the hands OF the
District Commissioners" together with
responsibility for operating the trans
portation system" One of the advantages
of public authority, the Senators further
explain, is that it has complete control
over the service rendered the public"
How this complete control" is to be
exercised by the authority however, with
responsibility for operating the system
placed "squarely in the hands of the Dis
trict Commissioners" will presumably be
explained in the next inStallment OF
Transit FollieS" Another interesting
point made by the Senators is that
public authority is not motivated solely
by excessive. quick profits" evidently in
contrast with private operation 1.-THE fact
is" say the Senators, that mass transit
systems throughout the country are not
an attractive investment possibility and
in most instances are either losing money
or paying very low returns Who is it,
then, who hopes for excessive quick
profits?
We do not remember having read
more complete nonsense than the letter
addressed to Chairman Nicely, setting
forth their plan and signed by Senators
Mcnamara, Morse and Case OF New
Jersey. 1t is nonsense because it will be
a practical impossibility, in the time re-
naming between now and next August
IA, to establish finance and equip
public authority capable of operating
mass transit, regardless of whether 1t IS
to be flexible or non-fexible, interim or
permanent.

Like Any Other Taxpayer?

In a Singularly inadequate statement
commenting on the INTERNAL Revenue
Services spectacular crackdowns on the
Communist Party and its mouthpiece,
the Daily Worker Revenue Commits
sioner Harrington says that "this case
is being handled precisely as any
other similar taxpayer matter would be
handled"
y. If this is the fact, the statement
needs amplification and we hope that 1t
will be given. What the Internal Revenue
Service can do to one taxpayer, it can do
to another Details of the relationships
between taxpayers and the Internal
Revenue Service are protected by law.
Yet without revealing any precise details,
it should be possible for Mr., Harrington
to explain where the bureau draws the
line as between normal claims for back
taxes, with established procedures in col
lecting them, and the resort to simulta-
neous raids padlocking and seizures OF
records and assets. 1t is important, in
other words, for the bureau to establish
beyond public doubt that it proceeded
against the Communist Party and its
organs because they were delinquent or
defiant taxpayers, ana not because tneE
are unpopular.
The crackdowns may enjoy consider
able popular support for the moment.
They may even have some domestic polit-
ical advantages in an election year. But
in the long run we know, for we have
learned it from experience, the dangers
of using the powers of the income tax
bureau for political purposes And the
Communists are apt to reap propaganda
benefits throughout the world OF consid-
erably greater value than anything the
Government will get from it's tax liens
assuming that the claims can be proved.
The most surprising element of the
whole affair is that the raids seem to have
been ordered without consultation in
Washington. For the implications OF the
incident should have been weighed most
carefully at top levels before any action
was taken, We would feel more comfort

Constitutional Principles" by
certain Southern Senators and
Representatives and expressed
the wish that "the wisdom OF

over the demands of political
expediency."
The calamitous results OF
this philosophy of doing

have been demonstrated over
the past quarter century in the
gradual whiting away OF the
reserved constitutional rights
of the States, until today the

q dead letter. All honor to

Good Days Work

Nine months have dragged Dy since
the President first sent the nomination
of Warren E. Burger to the Senate. Dur
ing that period the work of the United
States Court of Appeals for the District,
on which Mr.. Burger was picked to serve
as successor to the late Chief Judge
Harold M. Stephens, has suffered, and
needlessly so. For there never was any
substantial basis for opposition to Mr..
Burger, as demonstrated by the Senate's
unanimous vote to confirm him.
Still, even though it is inexcusably
late in coming, we welcome the favorable
vote on Mr.. Burger. When it is combined
with the confirmation of Leo A. Rover to
succeed Nathan Cayton as Chief Judge
of the Municipal Court of Appeals, good
days work has been done. Both of these
men have served well in the past-Mr.
Burger as Assistant Attorney General and
Mr.. Rover as United States Attorney. We
have every confidence they will continue
to serve we'll in their new capacities.

Cost of Delay

At this time of further dillydallying
over Potomac River bridge construction
it is worthwhile to consider what the
long delay in replacement of the OLD
Fourteenth street bridge has cost the Dis
trict. When Congress in 1946 authorized
the building of twin spans to replace the
venerable Highway bridge, it was estl-
mated. that the two structures could be
built for 81 million, which amount was
authorized. But the single bridge for
northbound traffic, built in 1850, used up
nearly all of the authorization. Now, with
the Highway Department ready to, start
planning the second bridge, the estimated
cost of the twin span has risen to about
50 million. That is nearly three times the
cost estimate of 10 years ago.
Therefore, it has become necessary
for the Commissioners to request an
amendment of the original authorization
to cover the latest estimate for the second
bridge. This legislation must be passed
> before funds for preliminary planning
can. be appropriated. Nobody can justly
be criticized for the failure to complete
the twin-bridge project before this. DIS
trict officials simply felt that the old
southbound bridge could be used safely
for several years more and that other
traffic relief measures should be given
priority. But the fact remains that the
1O-year delay is going to cost the city
close to 50 million that might have been
allotted to other highway and bridge

Powerful new space WIN
dows" - radio telescopes - by
which astronomers can look
into the farthest reaches of
space, are under construction,
or in the planning stage, all
over the world.
They may reveal l0-fold
more of creation than has
been known before from opti-
cal telescopes.
Their sensitivity' is to the
radio wave radiation of the
stars, the whirling universe of
stars millions of light years
away, and mysterious radiating
objects among the stars. Ex-
tending over much wider bands
than the wave lengths that
can be seen by the eye or
recorded on Photographic
plates, these radio waves en-
able the astronomer to detect
hitherto completely invisible
objects and to look through
the great, black dust clouds of
the Milky Way galaxy.
England Leads Way
The major radio telescope
at present is one being built
at Manchester. England. Con-
sideration now is being given
to several powerful instru-
mentS in the United States.
Other countries have an
nounced plans for such instru-
ments so distributed that they
will give a fairly comprehen-
sive picture of the Northern
Hemisphere of the sky.
The Southern Hemisphere,
however, is much richer in
celestial objects and much
less known. Aided by a grant
from the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, the Commonwealth Sci
entific Organization of Aus
tralia. organized by the gov
eminent, will build a giant
radio telescope in that country
within the next three years.
The nearest of the outer
galaxies, the so-called Clouds
of Magellan, can be seen only
from the southern skies. AL
though these are small COM
pared to the gigantic Milky
Way system of which the solar
system is an infinitesimal part,
they are believed to be much
the same sort of stellar or
CARNATIONS.
In the southern heavens,
also, are a vast number of
galaxies at much greater dis
tanceS which are comparable
in size to the Milky Way. The
new telescope is expected to
give much information on the
structure of these aggrega-
tons of billions of whirling
stars and star systems.
