Ia charity law enacted by Con-
-gress last summer.
Walter F. Chappell, former
Navy captain and State De-
partment official, heads the
council. He said today he hopes
the council can start work on
the proposed regulations within
a few days.
The new group intends to
work closely with Cabell
Gwathmey, director of the Ii
censes and inspections depart
ment, Mr.. Chappell said. He
added that he has already con-
ferred with Mr.. Gwathmey as
well as with Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin about
the councils work.
Weapon Against Rackets
Congress enacted the charity
law to combat charity rackets.
A main target of the law is
fraudulent telephone fund soli-
citation. The law also calls for
periodic financial reports by
soliciting organizations. The
Star campaigned for enact
ment of the law.
Mr.. Gwathmey said his Office
has been working closely with
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment in writing the pro-
posed regulations. These are
now in their fourth draft, and
should be ready to hand to the
council in about a week, he
said.
After council action, the
regulations will be submitted
to the Commissioners.

concerns is to see that the reg

Supt. Hobart M. Corning said
a committee of school officials

would probably recommend an
increase, at least in some areas,
by the next session of Congress.
Mrs. Ruth Spencer and Mrs.
Dagney Petit, together with
Mrs. Frank Phillips, all men,
bers of the board, also asked
school officials to examine ways
to prevent pay inequities which
arise following every salary in
crease.
DR.. Corning said that each

Israel and Suez

There Is a great deal to be said in
favor Of the idea that Israel should make
q test Of its legal rights by attempting to
send one Of its ships through the Suez
Canal. At any rate, as President Eisen-
hover has declared, the United States
can see no objection to such a test If it
Is carried out in purely peaceful man
ner. For in that case, assuming that
Egypt refused to let the vessel pass, the
issue could be brought before the Inter-
national Court Of Justice or some COM
parable body equipped to hand down a
frm and authoritative judgment on the
matter.
i, This would be a rational procedure.
Not rational, however, would be a resort
to force by the Ben-Gurion government
In the event that Egypt-in keeping with
past policy-barred the ship from the
waterway. The President has given voice
to an understatement in saying that an
Israeli reaction of that sort would be
"reprehensible." It would be much worse
than that, particularly in view of indica-
tons that the Nasser regime may be will
ing to take the issue to the World Court
and abide by whatever decision is reached.
In these circumstances it would be folly
for Israel to seek test by anything but
peaceful means.

Reasonable Solution

Provided the Federal Government is
willing to pay the bill, the substitution Of
six-lane tunnel for six-lane bridge
across the Potomac River at Constitu-
ton avenue is, as Park Director With
has put 1t. a reasonable solution" Of the
tunnel-bridge impasse. It will cost some
millions of dollars more to build such
big tube under the river, but the plan
would meet the objections Of those who
have fought bridge for esthetic or navi-
gational reasons Mr.. Wirth's concilia-
tory letter to Chairman Bible of Senate
District subcommittee on the bridge
tunnel issue may well mean an end to
the exasperating delays that have oc-
CURED since Congress authorized a
central-area bridge in 1854.
However, Mr.. Wirth's offer to have
the National Park Service build the tun-
mel should be declined, with thanks. This
agency already is on record as not being
in the bridge or highway construction
business. Nor should Congress project it
into the tunnel business. Congress made
the mistake Of designating the Park
Service as the builder of the Jones Point
bridge when that structure first was au-
thoriZed, and 1t took another act Of Con-
gress to rectify the error. The Federal
Bureau Of Public Roads, 1t was then
agreed, is the proper agency to build a
Federal highway facility. It would be
illogical now to give the Park Service the
responsibility for such nonpark facility
as tunnel to serve regional traf1lc needs.
If six-lane tunnel ct should not
be Of narrower width) is approved, we
hope that Congress will back its reversal
OF stand on the bridge question with
immediate and adequate appropriations
to start work as soon as the engineers are
ready. For the urgency of a new river
crossing daily becomes greater and
greater.

Hands off Loeb Ness!

Hector Hughes, Laborite member Of
the House of Commons, has come for
ward with a deplorable proposal. He
wants the British government to invade
Scotland with underwater TV cameras
and other equipment scientifically de-
signed to plumb the depths Of Loeb Ness
and determine, once and for all, whether
"a prehistoric or unique monster, fish or
reptile of some kind" turks there. This
obviously should not be allowed to hap
pen, and Parliament, II 1t has any sense
Of the fitness of things, will rise against
It almost to man, Just as 1t might be
expected to rise against comparable
efforts to inquire into the authenticity
OF Santa Claus.
To say this, Of course, is not to sug-
gest that there is no difference between
Santa Claus and the Loeb Ness monster.
But still, ever since having been first
sighted In 1871, the latter has been one of
the worlds incest and most engaging per-
sonalities. Through all the years, never
harming anybody, he has given his own
peculiar touch Of charm to life. And by
now, far from being Just another tourist
attraction, he has acquired the stature
Of what great numbers Of people every
where regard not as hoax, not as an
hallucination, but as a virtual eternal
verify, and very enchanting verify at
that.
Why, then, should men snoop around
IN his watery lair trying to And out
whether this creature is really there?

Suburban issues

our area. We live In Arlington.
Va, where the homes for the
most part are from moderate
to good priced and the owners
have spent a great deal Of time
and money to make their

About four blocks from us is
a small shopping area. Just
recently, an old house was torn
down at the edge Of that area,
and a filling station built with
its usual bright lights and
signs, not contributing at all to
the beauty Of the neighbour

every vacant lot a potential
store?
This spreading Of business
leaves few neighborhoods free
Of the threat Of dishguring
construction. As the article

Of the shops are too small to
have much choice Of mer-
chandise and, consequently.
