Public Interest First

Congress created the Department Of
Insurance of the District government to
regulate insurance operations in Wash
ington as a protection to the insured
public But the testimony by District
insurance Superintendent Jordan before
Senate Commerce Subcommitte raises
a question as to whether the department
is fully aware of its responsibilities to
the public.
1t was brought out at a hearing on
overcharges by the Service Fire Insur-
ance Company of New York and the
Industrial Insurance Company of Iowa
that Mr.. Jordan had persuaded the Better
Business Bureau not to publicize warn
ing by its Chicago affiliate against over
charging by the New York firm. bureau
representative testified that the insurance
superintendent had explained that he
did not want to disturb the public"
Mr.. Jordan later told The Star that
he had felt that the proposed Bet
ter Business Bureau press release would
have created false impression about
the company's operations here. He said
he had become convinced that the over
charges made by the firm to certain
customers had been due to carelessness.
rather than a deliberate plan to defraud
them.
The fact remains, however, that Sub
committee Chairman Monroney stressed
that it was the regular practice" of the
two companies to charge all customers
the highest rate, although many of them
were entitled to lower rate because
they were over 25 years of age and not
In military service. And it is also fact
that although refunds to the total
amount of $9,536 have been made to
District residents after negotiations"
between the insurance superintendent
and the New York company, the depart
ment has no way of knowing whether
all such overcharges have been repaid.
In view OF this, 1t is hard to under
stand why the department did not issue
It's own press release to notify the public
that overcharges had been made, and
to advise the policyholders to check
their records and determine If they were
entitled to refunds. Certainly no repu-
table insurance company would object
to making amends for it's mistakes, nor
should it expect protection from adverse
publicity when it makes mistakes Nor
would the victims Of the overcharges
the disclosure that they had paid too
much for their collision insurance, and
were entitled to refunds.

Appropriate Visit

Inc Visit here OF the three repro
ductions of the square-rigged sailing
ships which brought. to jamestown
in 1907 the first permanent English
coloniStS is appropriate historically as
well as sentimentally. For it was only a
year after the founding of jamestown
that Captain John Smith, leader of the
colony, embarked on a cruise up "the
fair Baye" (the Chesapeake) and into
the river Patowomek" as far as Little
rails, just above the Georgetown of to-
day. Although Captain Smiths famous
diary does not make it clear what vessel
he used in his explorations of this area.
1t is possible that he used one of the
three vessels which first brought him
and his hardy little band to America.
The fleet which has been reproduced
for the 350th anniversary of the James
town expedition this summer consisted
OF the Susan Constant, of 100 tons; the
Godspeed, of 40 tons, and the Discovery,
OF 20 tonS-all smaller than the May
flower which brought the Pilgrims to
Plymouth Rock 13 years later. Having
established the colony at Jamestown, the
inquisitive Captain Smith began to ex-
plore the many inlets and "freshes"
(fresh-water streamS) of the bay.
He reached the mouth of the Poto-
mac about the middle of June, 1908. and,
after inspecting that region briefly,
sailed up the river itself He wrote "The
10th Of June we fell (in) with the river
PotoWomek. Having gone SO high
as we could with the bote apparently
to Little Falls) we met divers Salvages
in Canowes, we'll loaden with the flesh
OF BeareS, Deere, and other beasts,
whereof we had part. Here we found
mighty rocks growing in some places
above the ground as high as the shrubby
trees and divers other solid quarrieS and
divers tinctureS; and divers places where
the waters had falne from the noun
tains. - 1t is from the latter refer
ence that historians have inferred that
Captain Smith, leaving his "bote" at
tidal water limits above what is now
Georgetown, went to Great Falls by canoe
and portage. The diary also tells of
trading with the "Anacostan" Indians
at villages along the river, particularly
near Little Falls, on "AnacoStan Island"
(noW Theodore Roosevelt ISland), along
the AnacoStia shore and on the bluff
which now is the site of Fort Washington.
So the visit to Washington this week
OF the reproduced Smith fleet honors not
only the city which has replaced the
ancient Indian villages but also the
doughty captain who helped to found
this Nation and who was the first white
man to see the land which was to be-
come the site Of the Nations Capital.

out as military weapon. But with the
increase in U-boat warfare the blimp
again became in demand, and served ef-
fectively during the war as spotting
station for our antisubmarine forces.
Since the war, however, additional duties
have been assigned to the Navy's airship
fleet, numbering now about fifty.
The new role of the blimp is in con-
nection with our off-shore warning Sys-
tenn against attacks from the air as well
as from the sea. For the airShip has
been found ideal as an airborne radar
outlook station, tied in with the con-
tinental detection screen set up to guard
us from surprise air attacks. The blimp
as the recent long-distance cruise of
the ZPG-2 has demonstrated-is capable
OF maintaining long patrols over the
ocean under varying weather conditions.
And while keeping on guard, by radar,
against aerial aggression the blimp crews
also can guard against submarine forays.
both by visual scanning and sonic equip
ment lowered into the water. It is not
surprising, therefore, that the blimp is
enjoying a new lease on life with the
fleet.

Mr.. Beck and His Records

With something less than tremen-
oouS enthusiasm Dave Beck, headman
OF the TeamSterS Union, has announced
tnat ne Will appear before the Mcclellan
committee on Tuesday, bringing his per-
Sonal financial records with him. But.
Mr.. Beck has not quite said that he
Will turn these records over to the
committee
In stating that he would heed the
committees Gala matter in which he
had no choice-Mr Beck said he would
bring along the records without preju-
dice to my rights under the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights" In other words,
ne presumably is reserving the right to
refuse to let the committee examine his
records on the ground that an inspection
of their contents might tend to incrimi-
nate him.
1t is to be hoped that Mr. Beck, if his
conscience is clear, will not invoke the
Fifth Amendment. For as Senator McClel-
Ian has said, he has a higher duty
namely, to make an accounting to his
union members of the way in which he
has handled their affairs.
On the basis of testimony already
received by the committee, these affairs
have been handled very badly indeed.
Many thousands of dollars of teamster
funds have been frittered away, if not
actually stolen. The union, through some
OF its officers, has been involved in
shameful activities with shady politicians
and variety of racketeerS. If Mr.. Beck
has remained pure in the midst of all
this, he ought to be willing to stand up,
under oath, and tell his story-including
the whole Of his personal financial story.

Journeys End

There is no precise way of measuring
the effectiveness of Vice President Nixon's
eight-nation tour of Africa But reporters
who have been with him on his physically
wearing travels seem generally agreed
that he and Mrs. Nixon have once again
generated lot of good will for America

ably has gathered mass of impressions
and information that should enable him
TO offer worthwhile counsel regarding
our Governments policy toward the coun-

with the Kremlin making a determined
effort to inf1ltrate and undermine the
whole OF Africa, the friendship of all
these lands is important to us, and the
same holds true for their economic and
political stability. Looked at in any light,
therefore, Mr. Nixon'S African visit has
been a timely one that promises to be
Irult1ul IN terms OF fostering mutually
oenencial relations between them and us.
40 d 4cSulI VI WIldU ne mas seen and
heard during the % days of his l8OOO-
mile tour, the Vice President has indl-
Gated that he will recommend a specific
program Of action designed to establish
such relations on firm basis. To that
end, the program repeatedly would in
clude accelerated economic and technical
aid, sharp increase in cultural exchange
projects, an expansion of International
activities that would place special en-
phasis on library centers, and steps to
effect personnel Improvements over there
In our embassies, consulates and offices

Now that he is back home any ad-
vice Mr.. Nixon may have to offer on
matters of this sort will deserve careful
consideration. For he has worked hard
during these past weeks, not merely as
an ambassador of good will, but also as
a key representative of the executive
branch looking for ways and means to
strengthen Americas position in Africa.
Together with Mrs Nixon, he deserves
the Nations commendation for his good
efforts on that score.

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
By THOMAS R. HENRY
New Atomic Fusion Process Reported

attached to a proton, forming
an atom similar to the ordinary
electronic atom but scaled
down 200-fold in total size.
In natural hydrogen, one
atomic nucleus in 5000 has a
neutron attached to it's proton,
and is called a deuteron. 1t
can be shown that a mu-meson
prefers to form an atom with
a heavy particle at its center,
so it will combine selectively
with a deuteron. even though
protonS are much more abun-
dant. Any mu-mesic atom will
eventually attach itself to an
other hydrogen atom to form a
molecule.
The result OF all these proc
esses is that shortly after a
mu-meSon comes to rest in
hydrogen it finds itself hold
ing a deuteron and proton to-
gether in the form of a tiny
molecule. The deuteron and
proton are bound so closely that
they soon fuse to form helium
three. The mass of the helium
three atom is less than the
combined mass of proton
and deuteron, and the diff
ference is available as energy
-54 million electron volts"
Laboratory Phenomenon
The radiation laboratory
tests. however, showed that
only about two mu-mesons in
10000 were preciptiating such
a reaction. Thus, says the re-
port. "up to now this energy
producing reaction is only a
laboratory phenomenon. The
chain of reactions cannot con.
tinue long enough to generate
commercially useful amounts
OF power because mu-meSons
decay into other particles too
quickly. Also they can be
generated only in high-energy-
nuclear collisions of particles
accelerated by cyclotrons and
other expensive machines.
However, the scientists de-
scribe as interesting the pos
sibilities if much -longer-lived
particle, with properties sim
liar to that Of the mu-meson,
were ever found. The Russian
physicist Alikhanian has re-
ported evidence for such a
particle"

Moqsoysoy Tribute

In time of great crisis it
appears almost miraculous that
the nation can somehow al
ways produce a man capable
of leading his country through
its hours of darkness. Such n
man was Winston Churchill
to Britain in 1910, or, some
might say. Franklin Roosevelt
to the United States in 1892.
Such a man also was Ramon
Magsaysay to the Philippine
Islands in 1853. For ii was he
who gave to the people of the
Philippines a government and
President in whom they
could have absolute trust.
II was he, who. by his OUT
standing ability. moral integ-
rity and warm personality,
brought the Philippine Islands
to the stature they now enjoy
in the community of nations.
Against potential internal
chaos brought on by Com
munist guerrilla warfare, Pres
ident Magsaysay waged an
unrelenting struggle. But he
fought not only with guns,
but with ideals. 1t was through
his policies OF clemency in ex-
change for loyalty to the gov
ernment that he broke the
back of the Communist Ruer-
rilla warfare.
His endless fight for efficient
and incorruptible government
made him a symbol of the peo-
Piles trust in democratic gov
ernment.
His policies OF close inter-
national cooperation made
him a warm friend OF the
United States. The future
governments OF the Philippine
Islands will have an eternal
debt 10 his name to emulate

Montgomery Spendinu

More and more realistic and
conservative minded people Of
Montgomery County are be-
coming aroused in opposition
TO IT," wasteful and extrava-
CANT misuse of tax funds by
county officials. Upon looking
at an almost doubled tax bill
over Just few years ago.
reasonable taxpayers begin to
look around for a justification
by an increase in benefits.
services or civic activities.
However. any such Justification
simply does not exist in Mont
gomery County.
BY a strange legal paradox.
the most wasteful use OF tax
funds is committed by au-
thority Of a semilegal. pseudo
civic board whose members are
not considered by an assistant
attorney general Of Maryland
10 be county officers. l refer
10 the County Board of Edu-
cation. Thus. only part OF tax
waste and misuse of funds can
be charged to actual county
offlcers. BY far the larger
amount must be charged TO the
misconception of their civic
duty by the present members
Of the County Board of Educa-
ton.
Because there is certainly no
valid justification for the pres
ent higher than necessary
taxes in Montgomery County,
there is not the slightest rea-
son why any further increase
should be at all seriously con-
sidered. Pulled up, unrealistic
budgets that cannot stand the
light OF factual analysis are
the general rule in Montgom-
cry County. In the last 10
years. not one budget request
by the Board of Education had
the merit of actual educational
need in its entirety. Many par
entS and taxpayers will recall
the insincere lamentS of board
members during the past dec
ade to the effect that so many
essential needs would have to
be abandoned unless the
boards budget were approved.
When the boards requested
budget was not approved, it
just happened that none OF
their laments were shown to
be founded on facts. BY the
boards acts shall we know
them.
With broader and greater
interest by the huge conserva-
tive element Of right-thinking,
realistic Montgomery County
parents and taxpayers. it is to
be ho ped that more and more
value will be received for our
tax dollars, instead of con-
tinuing to pay more and more
dollars for less and less COM
parative value.

called Classical Music for
People Who Hate Classical
Music"
1t is a catchy title, but it
needs explaining. for actually,
no one can hate classical music
who knows classical music.
That, no doubt, is the intent
of the title.
There is the light classic,
and the heavy classic. There
are works difficult to under
stand" as we say. and others
which trip over the heart
strings with the ease of a
waterfall.
Music is music, in other
words. 1t incorporates all that
is good in us. and very little
OF the bad. This is another
reason why it creates an
atmosphere in which cares fall
away from US.
Somehow. the heart of man
longs, as the hart pants for
the water brooks, for a world
in which all is good.
The unexampled sale Of
happiness pills" in this era
attests to this. No thinking
person wants to be freed from
the normal stresses and strains
which make US what We are.
men and women in a warning
world. but each one of us sees
that things could be better.
and ought to be better, and
maybe sometime we can make
them better.
This is the great hope which
great music gives us as nothing
else can.
II tears come, unbidden, at
the completion of a fine SYM
phony we'll done. it is a tribute
not only to composer. leader.
and orchestra, but also TO the
listener, who for a moment.
out of the long journey of life,
has found perfection at last.
The swelling chords, the
simple song, the last of life for
which the first is made
These combine somehow in
great music to assure us, that,
first of all. we are not lust
animals grubbing for a living,
but something more; second,
that we can make our hearts
and minds sublime, if We really
work at it; and third, that the
listening ear is one of our
greatest assets.
1t is only when we listen to
the best, however. that we shall
receive these plain benefits, and
know something of the Joy of
the composer in creation, and
OF the musician in his second
airy act. Such creation is our
portion of God, whom we call
the Creator.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Music hath charms to
soothe the savage breast"
Yes. but it has the ability
also to draw tears, too, from
susceptible eyes.
Recently we listened to the
last concert of Bruno Walter,
leading the New York Phil
harmonic in Mahler's Second
Symphony"
This long work, in which
leader. orchestra. chorus and
soloistS co-operated. built up
such an impression that. at
the end. tears came, despite
ones belief that such tears
are unnecessary.
No instrument" in the
world is quite like the great
orchestra.
Under such a conductor, it
can play soft. loud. gentle, fast
and slow. These are but the
rudiments of music. The real
leader gets from them a new
dimension.
One of Washington's INTEL
lectual leaders recently ac-
costed Templeton Jones. our
old friend.
DO you remember" this
man asked him. when you
took me to hear Brahms
'Second?'
No. l do not remember"
said Jones, honestly.
Il do" smiled the other.
You introduced me then to a
whole new world" "
1t was and is true.
The world of great music is
a world in itself.
The world of the orchestra
is a second world.
Combine them. and you
have a third. something very
perfect in an imperfect uni
verse.
Try as one may. he never
quite gets over the idea that
here is about the best we can
have.
In the good orchestra. prop
erly led, playing real music.
the listener finds his heart.
mind and soul at rest. The
cares of the day, the give-and-
take of the Office, the Interrupt
tions Of the home. the national
and international cares
these one and all fall from the
shoulders.
Only a listening ear is left,
guided by the mind and heart.
1t is because real music.
played by a good orchestra,
can create this mood, that it
will always have a place
among civilized people.
Such an orchestra plays
mostly classical music.
There is a radio program
