Wallace Sued
With Cohen

LOS ANGELES. July 8 (R.-
The elevised comments of for
mer gambler Mickey Cohen last
May 10 brought on two damage
suits yesterday totaling $3,000,-
400.
Los Angeles Police Chief
William H. Parker and Capt.
James Hamilton of the police
intelligence squad sued TV in
terviewer Mike Wallace, Amer
lean Broadcasting Co, the
sponsors and advertising
agency handling Mr.. Wallace's
program and 10 John Does,
alleging libel, SANDER and defa-
nation of character.
On the telecast Cohen de-
nounced Chief Parker and
Capt. Hamilton. In New York,
where the Wallace program
emanates, the district attorney
said that oral defamatory re-
marks ordinarily classified as
SANDER do not fall within the
purview of the criminal libel
law"
ABC offered an apology in a
later Wallace program. but at
torneys for Chief Parker and
Capt. Hamilton said this was
wholly inadequate to remedy
the damage done.
They asked for 100000 gen.
eral damages and $500 exem-
plary damages each for Chief
Parker and Capt. Hamilton for
the New York telecast, plus
the same sum for Chief Parker
for the kinescope film of the
interview shown in Los Angeles.
The law provides that for
any sum recovered in libel the
plaintiff is entitled also to costs
plus 500 attorneys fees.

Industry in Arlington

Arlington. southern approach to the
Nations Capital, is primarily residen-
tial community, but there is no reason
why a moderate amount of industrial
development should not be encouraged
for its revenue-p producing possibilities.
1t is logical therefore, to give industry
adequate consideration in the prepara-
ton of a master plan for the county.
The Arlington Planning Commission
wisely has employed an expert consult
ant to advise it on the role and place Of
industry in Arlington.
The consultant, DR.. Dorothy Muncy,
after q survey of the county, has sug-
gested the rezoning Of ATS acres Of land
for industrial expansion The new areas,
she said, would tend to Offset a recon-
mended decrease in industrial activities
in Rosslyn. She proposed that land now
zoned for residential (but largely unoc-
cupied) along Jefferson Davis highway
and along Four Mile Run of Shirley
highway be converted to industrial uses.
She would gradually eliminate all indus
try from Rosslyn and designate the area
for redevelopment into more attractive
neighborhood. Unfortunately, under
present law, Arlington cannot qualify
for urban renewal or redevelopment,
since it is not a city. However, this sit
uation might be corrected through leg
islation. "Rosslyn, as the gateway to
Arlington" DR.. Muncy said, "offerS an
outstanding redevelopment opportunity.
Only bold, imaginative redesign will be
worthy of this unrivaled SITE"
DR.. Muncy cautioned against uncon-
trolled industrial development, however.
She said that industries allowed to build
in the new areas should be required to
have attractive structures, suitably land
scaped. BY promoting this sort Of de-
velopment, 1t was pointed out, the
county could obtain much higher tax
revenues from the land than now is
possible. The program outlined by Dr.
Muncy is worth careful attention Of the
county planners.

Still in the Race

Representative Mahon, a Texas
Democrat and something of congress
sional expert on national defense, does
not think we have lost the missile race.
After an all-day session behind
closed doors with the men who head the
missile programs in our armed services,
Mr.. Mahon emerged to say that he had
been encouraged very much" by what
he had heard. He still thinks we are
tagging in the whole area Of balliStic
missiles, but he also thinks 1t is obvious
that the three services have not fallen
on their faces" in ballistic missile
progress and that we should be going
into production on an intermediate
range ballistic missile Every SOON
perhaps within few days. Mr.. Mahon
also expressed the belief that long-range
bomberS will continue to be the greatest
deterrent to aggression for perhaps
another flve years-during which time
balliStic missiles will be produced and
stockpiled.
There is a measure of reinsurance
in this because Mr.. Mahon, while he
does not know all the answers, knows a
good many Of them. Furthermore, al
though he may have gone too far in
defense budget-cutting in the past, his
whole record suggests that he is well
qualified to speak on the matter of
national security.
What he is saying now, as we under
stand it, is that the missile race has not
been lost. We are behind, but we can
catch up. OF course, there is more to
the story than this. The missile race,
while very important in itself, is but
one aspect of the continuing struggle
for national security. It is a short-range
AFFAIR." matter Of few years at most.
We could overtake and match the
Russians missile for missile, but this
alone would not insure the security of
our country. The test Of this may come
in five, or ten, or more, years, and Mr..
Mahon is not talking about this aspect
of the problem Perhaps his fellow
Texan, Senator Lyndon Johnson, will
look into the long-range prospects in the
inquiry which he is launching next week.

Cautious Appraisal

Secretary of Labor Mitchell has
offered an appraisal Of the national
economy that is mildly good and mildly
bad. On the good side, he told news
conference that the persistent rise"
in costs of living appears to have halted
and that "the infiationary period" of the
past two years has come to an end. At
the same time, noting a "leveling of"
in the pace of business activity, the
Secretary predicted that unemployment
by February will rise above the level of
a year earlier-but not to a serious
degree.
There are, of course, many variable
factors to consider in measuring the
economy, particularly at time when it
obviously is pausing for breather The
consumer price index rose steadily for
thirteen months through last Septem-
Der. But the October figures released
since Mr.. Mitchell's conference showed
no change in the latest recorded month,
marking break in this trend New-car
prices are expected to push the index
up again slightly for November, but only
minor seasonal fluctuations are foreseen
for the near future. As for other evil
dence that the inflationary pressures
have eaSed, temporarily at least, Gov
eminent spokesman already had noted
a slackening in credit demand, inventory
increases in certain lines and deferment
of some projected capital expenditures.
These, in turn, are among the factors
accounting for the expected rise in I'M
mployment-although the relatively
moderate variations up to now appear
to justify Mr.. Mitchell'S opinion that the
joblesS total will not reach a serious"
level. Unemployment currently is esti-
mated at 2.5 million and was 81 million
last February.
1t is probable that Federal spending
plans will have the greatest impact on
the economy in the first half of 1858.
Current indications are that the defense
section of the budget will be enlarged
and that offsetting economies in other
programs will be hard to flnd-particu-
larly in an election year Administration
thinking on defense spending-that it
must be adequate for the needs-has
been expressed by President Eisenhower
and others, most recently by Vice Presi-
dent Nixon in warning that I'VE must
never make the mistake of putting a
price tag on military strength" An
appreciable boost in this category of
spending, If not offset by cutbacks else
where, could revive the infiationary
pressures. Until this picture is clarified,
tab - - 1911 tAa
taken action on the budget requests,
long-term predictions on the state of the
economy will be highly speculative.

Park Police Hondicops

The critically constructive report
of a police administration consultant
reveals some serious handicaps under
which the Park Police force has been
operating. The findings tend to ex-
plain why the Federal agency has been
plagued by personnel difficulties, in
GLIDING discomfort over promotion poll
icies. Such internal diSsension is bound
to impair the efficiency of any law en-
forcement body.
Donald s. Leonard, former presi-
dent Of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police, pointed to num-
Der of "glaring weaknesses" such as
an unsatisfactory promotion system"
and limited promotional opportunities"
poor disciplinary procedures, low re-
cruitment standards and insufficient
authority for the chief of the force.
The promotion system already is the
subject of litigation in Federal court,
as a result of q suit filed by a sergeant
who was passed over for promotion.
Other promotions meanwhile have been
held in allegiance.
AS for discipline, the consultant
particularly criticized the lack of trial
board plan for dealing with officers
accused of wrongdoing. Whereas the
Metropolitan Police Department and
other outstanding police departments
rely on the trial board system, the Park
Police chief has no independent dis
ciplinary powers. He may make recon-
mendations to the Superintendent Of
National Capital Parks for disciplinary
action in specific cases, but cannot even
suspend a subordinate pending action
by higher-ups. Furthermore, the report
to Interior Secretary Seaton said, park
policemen occasionally go over the head
of their chief to consult with Park
Service officials regarding matters that
should be taken up with the police chief.
And the chief himself must deal with
an assistant park superintendent, rather
than the superintendent
1t is not surprising, in view OF this
muddled administrative situation, that
the Park Police force has morale and
efficiency problems that should be Of
general public concern. Some OF the
proposed reforms, including the insti-
tuition of trial board procedures, call
for congressional action. The Leonard
report deserves special study by the APP
propriate legislative committees at the
next seEion.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

The leaves attract us most.
just as the clothes of people
do: sometimes we even Judge
character this way.
But the architecture Of q
tree is seen only in fall and
winter.
Then we can understand
how these mighty plants
managed to survive all the
storms and wrecks of mil
lions of years, and stood so
foursquare to all the winds
that blew.
Fall and winter are sad
times to some observers.
Then the coldness and the
blowing and the last scurry-
ing leaves manage to make
them think that Shakespeare
spoke truth when he coined
the phrase, "the winter of
our discomfort"
One way to overcome this
feeling is to keep warm, es-
pecially around the chest and
back. the feet dry. and the
head cool. and then to right
ly see the glories around us.
Our small and larger parks
are full Of beautiful things
at this season of the year.
The azaleas change colors a
hundred different ways. no
two bushes the same.
Everywhere the grass Is
loaded down with colorful
pigeons, sometimes regarded
as nuisances, but really
among the best scavengers Of
the modern city.
If the drive to get rid Of
them succeeds, it will make
our big cities dirtier and less
picturesque, and deprive
thousands Of their last touch
with reality.
