Our state is growing at phenomenal rate Each
year our population increases many thousands of new
homes built and hundreds of new businesses and
industries spring up here.
It's healthy thing to behold
All this growth creates an urgent demand for new
telephone service
1t means we must spend millions more each year
for new equipment.
1t means we must hire and train more and more
telephone people to install this equipment to operate it,
to maintain it.
1t means that we must constantly increase the num-
Der of people who can qualify to do telephone work.
That's healthy thing, too, for we must keep pace
with booming Delaware.
We have big stake in Delaware's future !. as

Against the optimistic slam
contract Mr.. Abel opened the
king Of diamonds. Mr.. Cham
pion won with his lone ace and
stopped to figure out his best
line Of play. He had eleven
tricks on the top and, as he
saw 1t, there were four chances
for the twelfth trick.
II the opposing trumps were
divided 2-2 he could run his
fourth club in dummy. If the
clubs were divided 3-3 he could
win four straight club tricks.
II diamonds were divided IA
vorably. dummy's fifth diamond
could be set UP. Finally. one
OF the defenders might make an
error. Only one of these alterS
nativessdeveloped-the last one.
Mr.. Champion first tried the
diamond suit. He overlook his
king Of hearts with dummy's
ace, returned q diamond and
ruled 1t high. He led q small
heart to dummy seven spot and
noted the spade discard on his
left. He returned another dia-
mond and ruffed it. Here Mr..
Abel discarded q small club
and at this point two Of the
four chances were gone
neither red suit had broken
evenly.
Now the only hope seemed
to be that Mr.. Muzzy would
have to follow suit to three
leads of clubs. If so the fourth
club would either set up auto
matically or the fourth club
in the closed hand could
be ruffed in dummy. Mr..
Muzzy still had q trump but it
was not high enought to beat
dummy's remaining trump. the
eight. So Mr.. Champion led q
small club to dummy's king.
He was just about to continue
with the queen when it occurred
to him that the lead Of the
deuce might offer the best
chance Of realizing his fourth
alternative. He led the deuce
and Mr.. Muzzy triumphantly
ruffed.

Another Great Debate

Two separate Senate committee
hearings currently are building a volu-
m1nouS record of debate and discussion
on the No. domestic problem of our
time. 1t is, stated mostly simply, the
problem OF imitation. And while there
are differences Of opinion, some of it po-
l1tically partisan and some of it highly
technical, on the true causes and on the
most effective ways to cope with the
matter there is no substantial disagree
ment on the basic seriousness. With this
degree OF agreement there is hope, at
least, that the committee Studies-one
by Senate Finance and the other by the
Antitrust Subcommittee = will provide
some helpful guidance. for arresting the
recently slow but steady deterioration of
the dollar.
In the controversial area, the divi-

Democrats the question Of whether

Furthermore, Mr.. Humphrey has pointed
out that wholesale prices already have

cratic interrogatorS have challenged the
administration thesis about cause and
cure. Before the Antitrust Subcommit-
tee there has been testimony that lad

sellerS-have played major role in the
current imitation and that the admins
tration remedies are more harmful than
effective.
The political overtoneS will remain,
Of course, in both hearings. Unless there
Is an abatement of the inflationary
trend. it will be foremost political issue
in 1858. In sense, however, this is a
great debate" in which both parties
have the national economic welfare most
deeply at heart. The final record before
the two committees, and their conclu-
sionS, should add up to a worthwhile
contribution to economic knowledge and
opinion.

Chance to Save

ConfereeS on the Defense appropria-
ton bill have an opportunity to effect
an important improvement in military
buying-one which the Hoover Com
mission has predicted would save mil
lions of dollars every year. This economy
measure can be insured through ap-
proval of the Senate-passed O'Mahoney
amendment, which is aimed at eliminat-
ing overlapping, outright duplication
and other wasteful procedures in pro-
curing defense supplies.
Senator O'Mahoney'S amendment
has the Endorsement of former President
Herbert Hoover, although it falls short

Gated by his Commission on Organiza-
ton of the Government That plan
called for creation in the Defense De-
partment of a special division to handle
purchasing activities of the various
armed services The pending amend
ment would direct the Secretary of De-
Tense to take such actions as are neces-
sary" to eliminate competition and du-
plication among the services in the pro-
curement field. The Secretary would be
authorized to reorganize "noncombatant
services" as may be required to bring
about more economical procurement.
We hope the House will agree to this wise
provision in the Senate-approved version
Of the Defense appropriation bill.

Forbiddinq Enigma

Nikita Khrushchev, in the course
OF his recent Leningrad speech hitting
hard at Georgi Malenkov, came out four
square in favor Of the idea that the So
Wet Union, besides trying for much
bigger output of meat, butter and milk,
should start manufacturing things that
appeal to the eye and the heart and the
human desire to be colorful rather than
drab. AS he has put 1t, what he ia
vors is that Russian shops be filled
with many inexpensive and pretty fab
RIGS and clothes-everything that makes
mans life more beautiful"
Back in 1858. Mr.. Malenkov, who
was then the Soviet Premier. and who

Road Blocks on 24O

Finding a generally satisfactory
route into Washington for Maryland's
240 highway (the Washington National
Pike is proving to be a very difficult
problem. Originally it had been planned
to bring an approach through Rock
Creek Park to downtown Washington,
but storm of opposition arose from
park conServationistS. A search then
began for alternatives But the alter
native proposals also ran into op-
position. Now the Montgomery County
Council and the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
have revived the Rock Creek plan. So
another battle looms between those who
are concerned with traffic movement
and those who are concerned with park
preservation.
The blunt fact is that the question
OF suitable route must be settled soon,
for the 240 highway from Frederick is
reaching out ever closer to Washington.
Maryland'S impotence over the long
delay in designating a Washington
approach is well justified. Several al
tentative routes have been considered
recently, but Maryland highway author
tiles have shown little interest in them.
The District Highway Department has
proposed a riverside course, with varia-
tons, connecting with the Maryland
approach to the projected Cabin John
bridge over the Potomac River. It also
has suggested a route through the
Glover Archbold Park and thence to
Wisconsin avenue and Bethesda. Mary
land has objected strongly to the river
side plan, however And the Wisconsin
avenue route would involve costly con-
struction through congested areas.
Thus, the choice Of a route linking
Washington with $40 involves esthetic,
engineering, economic and other factors
that must be weighed, one against the
other. In the final analysis, some COM
promise will have to be agreed upon that
will recognize the paramount impor-
lance Of an adequate channel for the
trafiic from the pike destined for WASH
ington. And II parkland route is the
eventual decision, every effort should be
made 70 build the road so as to cause a
minim2tn Of disturbance TO park areas.

Budding Scientists

I would like to make the
following observations con-
corning the letter Of July 9
from Federal Employee" re-
lating to the student scientist
trainees at the Bureau Of
Standards.
The holders Of scholar
ships are expected by the
colleges to work and set aside
some of their summer earn
ings to help pay their college
expenses, which make it
mandatory that they find
summer employment. These
prospective scientists have
found that summer jobs are
not easy to obtain, even
though they are "the cream
of the crop" Very few pri-
vate organizations engaged
in scientific activities will
hire students. Most such
organizations can't use them
until after their junior year
in college. Ordinary summer
jobs are not much easier to
obtain. especially for young
men.
The work required Of the
trainee scientist is interest
ing and instructive. A stu
dent who spends four sum-
mers as a trainee will be
able to command a salary
equivalent to that usually
given to a graduate with a
masters degree when he
graduates with a B. S. de-
gree. This has been shown
to be true by an actual survey
made in the past.
The trainee gets a chance
to look around and to be
somewhat surer that the field
he has chosen is the one he
really wants. If another field
looks a, little greener, he may
try that one next summer.
This will enable him to
choose his options in his
junior and senior years at
college much more wisely.
OF course more salary
would be good. Much general
improvement would be made
If the program were expanded
to include many more pros
pective scientists and If more
private organizations would
also do their bit to help these
young people earn and learn.
I am the appreciative
father of a scientist trainee.

Tito and Soviet Aid

Semioficial reports from Belgrade
indicate that President Tito will soon
send to Moscow a special delegation
charged with the task Of trying to per-
Suade the Kremlin to carry out its
pledge Of economic aid to Yugoslavia.
This pledge, hailed at the time as a
t1rm commitment, was made last Au-
gust. Under it, Nikita Khrushchev and
Company promised to extend to the Tito
government the equivalent of $3.50 mil
lion in Sorely needed long-term Soviet
credits. The aid was to have been used
for the construction of such industrial
projects as an aluminium plant and an
electric power station
However, not many weeks after the
commitment had been made, the Krem-
lin ran into critical trouble with Po-
lands independence minded Commu-
niStS, and 1t next faced a full-Scale
rebellion in Hungary. These two events
so deeply stirred Belgrade that it did
not hesitate to reveal its sympathies. It
openly lauded the Polish Reds for their
nationalist" effort to achieve measure
of freedom from Moscow. More than
that, Marshal Tito publicly deplored as
"a fatal mistake" the brutal Soviet sup
preston of the Hungarian uprising.
All this, Of course, infatuated the
Kremlin. And so the Tito government
which had been anathema to Moscow
from 1948 until the Khrushchev-Bulga-
min reconciliation" mission of 1855
thereupon found itself, once again, on
the receiving end of a venomouS So
Wet propaganda attack. Among other
things the attack accused Belgrade's
maverick Reds Of sabotaging interna-
tional communism and promoting the
ends OF, aggressive" Western Imperial
ISM" Finally, to make clear their dis
pleasure, RuSSia'S collective leaders"
reneged on their promise of help to the
Yugoslavs
But now certain former key figures
among those Enthusiastically the Bit
terly anti-Titoist Mr.. Molotov-are no
longer in positions of power. AS result,
even though Mr.. Khrushchev has had
some surly things to say about Belgrade
during his Czech tour, the time may be
ripe for another effort to patch up the
1855 reconciliation" Presumably, II
the prospects were poor on that score,
there would be no plans for an early
Yugoslav mission to Moscow.
The success of this mission, II it is
carried out, will depend primarily on
whether the past Soviet promise of aid
Is revived and effectuated. If Marshal
Tito manages to get an affirmative re-
spouse without weakening his own in
dependence, it will be another feather
in his cap, and striking indication that
the Kremlin-for reasons best known to
itself-still feels impelled to WOO him.

Age of Speed

The number Of automobile
accidents is appalling. Driv-
ers are told not to drive while
drinking. to obey traffic laws.
careless driving is kid stun"
and "the life you save may be
your own" But this is the
age Of speed. Teen-agers have
their souped-up models and
race through the streets at
all hours of the night. Adults
are no less speed-conscious.
Advertisers for new cars
speak of speed and the feel
ing Of power.
Surely by now it has been
proved that drivers are not
willing to abide by rules. laws
or slogans. If we saw a child
with a stick in his hand re-
peatedly hitting everyone on
the head, we would not con-
tinue to appeal. beg. warn or
threaten him. The stick
would be removed and a
harmless toy substituted.
In the accident in which a
l5-year-old girl was killed.
the car was travelling 100
miles per hour. Why are the
automobile manufacturers al
lowed to make q car that win
go 100 miles per hour?
Laws should be passed reg
ulating the manufacture of
fast cars. Such vehicles as
fire trucks. ambulances, po-
lice cars. ETC., would be ex-
cepted. Each car should be
required TO pass q test each
year. Spot tests during the
year should be conducted.
Let's make II a stiff penalty
to own a car that will travel
over q prescribed limit. When
laws such as these are passed
and enforced, then and only
then will we begin to make
progress. Then we can hope
that the roads and highways
will become safe places.
It's time to put the finger
on the real culprits--the de-
signers, manufacturers. pro-
motors and advertisers Of
high-powered cars. Automo-
biles get faster and the death
rate increases. Let's put q
stop TO II.
