uate level. They would then
receive the equivalent of a
masters degree and would be
ligible for appointment to the

For a Broader Approach

1t is clear from discussions at the
recent conference Of business and gov
eminent leaders at Hartford, Conn, that
Washington is not alone in wrestling
with problems Of rapid Metropolitan
Area expansion. Most large cities are
trying to cope with the growing pains"
that have followed the development Of
satellite communities. No remedy APP
plicable to all urban centers has been
found. AS Lewis Mumford, an expert
on municipal affairs, told the confer
ence, there is too much "one- dimenSional
thinking" and not enough thought given
to the need for regional coordination
on the local government level.
1t is because Of the too-prevalent,
one-dimensional thinking in the WASH
ington Metropolitan Area that Con-
gress, at the past session, created a
Joint, congressional committee to study
the possibility Of bringing about better
regional teamwork here. The study will

Sheer Persecution

A Maryland grand jury has returned
criminal contempt indictments against
the publisher and editor of the st. Marys
Enterprise, a weekly newspaper. Spe-
cif1cally. the charge against the two men
is that they have been maintaining a
common public nuisance" and obstruct-
ing justice.
In our judgment, this is nothing less
than an undisguised attempt to intimi-
date and prosecute critical newspaper.
We have read the editorials and the
news story in the Enterprise upon which
the indictment was based. There is no
doubt that they were critical and pos
Sibly inaccurate in some respects. But
this is far cry from "obstructing JUS
tice" in any accepted sense of that term,
and it will be a sad day for the people
of st. Marys County If criticism of public
officials, including judges, can be sup
pressed on the fallacious contention that
this constitutes public nuisance" II
any official has been damaged by false
statements in the Enterprise, he has
every right, of course, to bring suit for
libel. But this resort to criminal con-
tempt is shameful, and, we think,
shocking abuse Of the judicial power.
Presumably, this matter will now
move on to the process of trial and, If
necessary, appeal. We hope that a
spokesman for the Enterprise is in ear
nest when he says that the case will be
carried to the highest court If necessary,
and we also trust that any appeal will
be supported by all those who believe
that the sometimes shady business of
politics is not entitled to any immunity
from critical examination.
