Commercial aviation has come a
long way since wood-framed Fokker
transport took of for Havana, Cuba.
from Key West, Florida, 80 years ago
today, to inaugurate overseas CONNER
cial air service under the United States
nag. This pioneering fight, without
benefit Of any Of the electronic gadgets,
meteorological services or other aids to
modern flying, was the forerunner of
regular air service to South America and
eventually Of tranSoceanic passenger
and cargo services across the Atlantic
and the Pacific and, indeed, around the
world. Pan American World Always
therefore has right to be celebrating
the thirtieth anniversary of the trail
blazing flight of its three-engine Fox
ker. The -girdling airline has made
an outstanding contribution to aviation
progress during the past three decades.
And it is looking ahead to greater
achievements in the age of commercial
Jet airliners just ahead.

Russia shot her wad when
she launched the satellite,
hoping we would start brag-

some eager-beaver would spill
the beans.
The Kremlin tactics Of

boomeranged. Sputnik has
succeeded in uniting all fac

Room for Both

Fairfax County Is considering two
shopping center programs that seem
to be in conflict One, proposed by
consultant, calls for 70 "neighborhood"
centers within walking distance of most
of the county's residential communities.
The other, recommended by the County
Planning Commission as part of a
master plan, would concentrate COM
mercial activities In IA major retail
centers, with the bulk Of patronage
carried by automobile. Actually, there
may be room for both types of shopping
centers-as has been demonstrated in
adjacent Arlington County and as Is
already evidenced In Fairfax County
itself.
There are several major commercial
centers in Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties, the outstanding of which in Fairfax
is the new Seven Corners development.
The larger centers include branches of
big Washington department stores and
of nationally known retail merchandise
ing firms. In addition, there are nu-
merous small centers scattered over the
two counties, usually composed Of
smaller markets, cleaning and dyeing
establishments, self-service laundries.
drugstores. hardware stores and the like.
Even II the Planning Commissions
plan for a few major centers should be
adopted, there will remain the problem
Of the nonconforming smaller shopping
centers already in existence. The COM
mission, apparently recognizing the
difficulty involved, is opposed to the re-
zoning of out-of-line business properties
to residential use. Perhaps the eventual
solution will be compromise between
the major and minor center plans. OF
course. in any event, owners of resi-
Dental property have right to be pro-
tected, through reasonable coming reg
ulations, against improper commercial
encroaclment on home communities.

cause Of pay ceilings for specialists Of
advanced education and experience.
The Ellsworth group recommended
a number OF legislative and administra-
tive remedies, including higher entrance
pay. more Jobs paying top-level rates
from $4,000 TO $4,000, and q variety
Of fringe benefits. Among the latter
would be Government-subsidized train
ing In colleges or industry for picked
employees. encouragement Of member
ship by employees In professional soci-
cites, reimbursement fer pre-employ-
ment travel and other concessions al

Although President Eisenhower dis
approved general Government pay

larry care for q flying SQuir-
rel indoors. even in the attic.
When springtime comes
around, there viii be a family
Of them up there, and the
patter Of their little feet will
be disconcerting.
y -
Hence it is best to get one
out Of q house.
The flying squirrel does not
make an acceptable pet, in
the modern sense. 1t is too
much Of the wild. though at
times it has been tanned.
The best way to handle one
in the attic is to watch in
tently at the point Of entry.
and wait until the animal
has gone out.
Then board the place UP.
This may take some days Of
watchful waiting. but it pays
OF in the end. since there is
little gained by letting one
take UP residence.
Several years ago this coll
umn carried the account Of
q family Of flying squirrels
in a Chevy Chase attic.
The owner finally got them
out. trapped them. and took
them away to a point some
flve miles beyond his home.
When he arrived home in
his car, the first of the re-
leased squirrels was jumping
back into his attic!
The others, the mother and
three little ones, were all in
side again within the hour.
How did they do 1t?
BY leaping from tree to
tree.
This Is an interesting mode
Of locomotion. and one which
no other animal uses.
The flying squirrel runs up
the trunk of one tree. and
jumps from 1t to another.
If the woods hold out, it
can make splendid time.
In the case instanced, the
trees ran almost solid along
the wayside. and the family
Of rodents was able to make
II back home almost as fast
as the man in his automobile.
The flying squirrel is inter-
esting, but not enough so to
make 1t an enjoyable house
guest.
1t is better of outside, and
certainly any home Is better
OF without 1t inside.

I have been collecting for
the United Givers Fund and
have been discouraged by the
lack Of response. Individual
drives by numerous small or
CARNATIONS have undermined
public support Of the UGF
campaign. with its lao or
CARNATIONS.
II we would increase our
donations to the UGF and
cut down on our donations to
the innumerable small drives.
the latter groups could be
persuaded to join the UGF.
Then we would get the most
good from our dollars at the
smallest operational cost and
we would know that we were
giving to bonafide charities.
We would be able to budget
our giving and be freed from
the constant annoyance Of
multiple appeals. Yours for

Stands by FBI
American.

The suggestion made in q
letter by Elmer c. Helm that
perhaps FBI investigators
were lying when they denied
using illegal methods in get
ting information on Faubus.
and that those investigators
could have done as charged
and not confessed to j. Ed
gar Hoover. sounds silly. I
think that Mr.. Helm should
take time TO read "The FBI
Story" by Don Whitehead.
He could find food for
thought in Just these two
sentences from the book:
"One myth which was
planted by the Communists
was that an attack on COM
munism was an attack on
freedom Of thought. The sus-
picion gained Roadway in
some quarters that the FBI
was an agency Of reaction and
a symbol Of intolerance"

Arlington Probe

The accusations which Ralph Raul,
Arlington County Board member, has
made against Maynard Magruder, who
Is seeking election to the board, cannot
be disposed of by the counter charge of
dirty politics"
There is no doubt, we think, that
the accusations were politically inspired
In the sense that they were expected to
hurt Mr.. Magruder's election chances
and to help his opponent Herbert L.
Brown. The real question. however, Is
whether the accusations are true or
false, not whether they spring from
political motives
The accusations, obviously, are very
serious. Mr.. Raul says he is not charg-
ing Mr.. Magruder with a crime. But
he Is accusing him Of overcharging the
county for work in real estate reassess-
ment. II this is true II would cast the
gravest doubt on Mr. Magruder's fitness
to hold ONCE. If it is not true, and
Mr.. Magruder insists that It is not, then
the voters would have ample reason to
conclude that Mr. Kaul Is guilty OF
anu tklaJ Mr.
Brown. in whose camp Mr.. Raul is work.
ing, must accept responsibility for the
smear tactics
The dispute comes down to a queS-
ton Of whether Mr.. Magruder charged
the county for work which was not per-
formed. The controlling consideration,
as We see 1t, Is not whether the fees
were calculated on daily or an
hourly basis. If the latter. as has been
indicated, then the real question is
whether Mr.. Magruder actually worked
the number Of hours for which the
county was charged.
The County Board ought to be able
to find the answer in the special hearing
which begins today. And we think the
board has clear duty to stay with its
investigation until the facts have been
established.

This fall the Republican
Party tof which I have al
ways been a member) is en-
deavoring TO elect q Repub-
lican candidate for the Of
fee Of Commissioner of the
Revenue in the City Of Falls
Church.
At the Republican conven-
ton ! made every effort to
convince the party that it was
q mistake TO introduce parti-
san politics into such q small
community as Falls Church.
It is evident that anyone
elected as q Republican must
support the party by employ
ing in his office only Repub-
leans. Likewise. II q Demo-
crat is elected on a partisan
basis. he would have the
same obligation to employ
only Democrats. Every time
,there was a change in the
party Of the elected ofiicial.
there would have to be a
change in the personnel of
the clerks doing the detail
work. with consequent addi-
tional errors, loss Of time.
and expense to the taxpayers.
At the present time. the
employees Of the ONCE Of the
Commissioner Of the Revenue
are employed strictly on an
efficiency basis. with no con-
sideration as to their party
afiiliations.
It is also self-evident that
real estate and personal
property assessments should
be made on a nonpartisan
basis.
Therefore. I believe that
every Falls Church taxpayer
interested in efiicient and
economical government for
our small community should
support only a candidate for
the Office of Commissioner Of
the Revenue who runs as a
nonpartisan candidate. and
who is well qualified by char
acter. ability. and experience.

Zhukoy,s Stor

The inner workings Of the Kremlin.
where a struggle for personal power still
seems to be going on, are so devious and
hidden that outsiders can make only
blind guesses as to the significance Of
Marshal Zhukov's sudden change OF
status at moment Of high interna-
tional tension.
AS Russia's most popular war hero,
the marshal--whom the jealous Stain
exiled to obscurity in the late l940s--
has within recent years risen steadily
on the ladder of prestige and power In
the USSR. He has done so even to the
point of becoming full member OF the
l5-man Presidium that constitutes the
top echelon of the Soviet dictatorship.
But now he has been abruptly relieved
of his duties as Defense Minister, and
the Kremlin, for reasons best known to
itself, has yet to make clear whether
the change means that his star has
fallen or that he Is on his way to a
higher position, perhaps to succeed
Nicolai Bulganin as Premier.
On the face of things. there is much
to support the view that Marshal zhu-
kov Is not actually on the downgrade.
At any rate, during the critical contest
last June between Nikita KhruShchev
and the Molotov- Malenkov -Kaganovich
coalition, the marshal is supposed to
have thrown decisive support - the
weight of the Red Army-behind Mr..
Khrushchev And he Is supposed also
to have acquired great new degree OF
power, enough so TO make the allegedly
grateful Mr.. Khrushchev dependent on
him in large measure. Moreover, be-
cause Of his wartime friendship with
President Eisenhower, and because Of
the recent Khrushchev hint that the
Kremlin might still be interested in
sort of summit meeting between these
two men. a plausible case can be made
for the idea that the Zhukov star will
rise some more.
Yet there Is something very strange,
If not ominous, about the timing. the
suddenness. of the marshals departure
from the Defense Ministry. The official
announcement Of 1t came only within
about an hour after his return from a
trip to Yugoslavia and Albania trip
that kept him out of Russia during the
time in which Mr.. Khrushchev and the
Soviet propaganda machine began what
has since become persistently threat
full drumbeat of charges about an
American Turkish pilot" to attack
Syria. Could 1t be that Marshal Zhukov
who is reputed to be an honest man
and a military moderate-objected to
this dangerous tension-breeding course?
Could it be that the Khrushchev faction
in the Kremlin conspired during his
absence to bring about his removal lest
he obStruct some reckless adventure in
the Middle East?
These are some of the darker ques-
tons that have been raised by the Zhu-
kov change. and no one outside Mos
cows inner circle will be sure of the
answers until the men of the Kremlin
or events themselves clarity what has
happened. Meanwhile, the world can
only hope that the event is not the
precursor of some great new evil from
the Soviet dictatorship.

Timely Approisol

The globe-circling Russian satellite
tends to add timely Importance to the
report OF a presidential advisory COM
mittee on the shortage of scientists and
engineers for Government research and
development. The situation, the COM
mittee warned, is critical" with Federal
agencies unable to compete successfully
with private industry in the quest for
chronological experts. The principal
handicaps Of Government agencies, the
report said, are pay and benefit systems
that compare unfavorably with those
offered outside the Federal establish
ment. The committee is convinced that
industry will continue to win the con-
test for research personnel until Federal
pay and benefits for such specialists are
more attractive.
One Of the committees more dis
turbing findings is that the young scien-
lists and engineers now applying for
Government employment are largely
from among college graduates with
lower and lower standing in their gradu-
ating classes" In other words, the cream
OF the science and engineering graduates
from the countrys leading universities Is
going to jobs outside the Government
chiefly in private Arms and labora-
tories. In seeking the reasons for this
situation, the committee, of which Civil
Service Chairman Harris Ellsworth was
head, cited the relatively low entrance
salaries offered college graduates in
physics, chemistry, engineering and
other technical fields. For example, the
present entrance rate Of $3.50 to $4,48O
year averages from $1,000 to $4,000
below the pay offered by private industry
for comparable work. Furthermore,
promotion opportunities are limited be-
