Dr.. Hansen

Now that school is over, I
feel 1t my duty as parent of a
student who benefited greatly
by the Four-Track Program to
publicly thank DR.. Carl F.
Hansen for introducing this
system to the public high
schools Of the District of
Columbia.
! read somewhere that a
good leader is one whose fol-
lowers. when the Job is done,
say we did 1t ourselves. This
Is surely true Of DR.. Hansen. I
remember hearing him outline
his plan several years ago at
a Commissioners Youth Coun-
Gil (Area F. meeting. He
worked very hard to get public
support Of the Four-Track
plan. but now that 1t is an
apparent success all Of the
teachers who helped to make
1t so may well feel I'VE did 1t
ourselves"
Therefore. I feel 1t is fitting
and proper that all parents
whose children have been
helped should Join In express
ing to DR.. Hansen our graft
tude for a Job well done.

UnspoiIed Wilderness

In February a bill was in
PRODUCED by Senator Hum
phrey to establish on public
lands Of the United States a
National Wilderness Preserva-
ton System. This is a measure
designed to make sure that
some parts Of America may al
ways remain unspoiled and
beautiful in their own natural
way, untrammeled by man
and unmarried by machinery.
This represents response to
a need urged by many con-
servationists and by such we'll
known organizations as the
National Wildlife Federation.
the Sierra Club. the National
Parks Association, the Ameri-
can Nature Association, the
Wilderness Society. the Wild
life Management Institute, the
Izaak Walton League, the

door Clubs, the National

Friend From Japan

Japan'S golf1ng Prime Minister No
busuke KiShi, who is visiting among us
now, is recognized by his compatriots as
one of their ablest and most energetic
political leaders. In addition, both per-
sonally and as head of the governing
Liberal Democratic Party, he has shown
himself to be good friend of the United
States. And it is as such that he has
%the bonds Of true partnership" and to
strengthen and deepen even further the
mutual understanding already existing
between our countries"
To that end, besides playing golf
with President Eisenhower, Mr. Kishi will
hold frank talks with him and other top
American officials during the next few
days. The talks will cover numerous issues
Of varying degrees of Importance, includ-
ing the unfortunate Girard case, nuclear
testing, the slow pace of Tokyo'S defen-
sive build-up, the scheduling of our troop
Withdrawals from Japan, and problems
Of foreign trade. The trading outlook,
Of course, looms especially large in the
minds Of the japanese. After all, they
must export to live, and this is the basic
reason why their conservative minded
Liberal Democratic government is bound
to feel ever-mounting pressure to do busi-
ness with Red China unless adequate
markets can be found for their goods
In Southeast Asia or the United States
and the West in general. Their economy
cannot survive otherwise. AS one of the
worlds most advanced and productive
peoples, more than IS million of them are
now crowded into relatively tiny inSular
homeland, and only by being able to carry
on large-scale international commerce
can they hope to support themselves or
enjoy reasonably decent standards Of
living.
On all matters of this sort Prime
Minister Kishi will certainly have the
attentive and sympathetic ear of our
Government. In that respect, his trip
here promises to be fruitful both for
his own country and for ours. Despite
some occasional strains, Japanese
American relations are remarkably good,
and they can be expected to remain that
way, or become even better, as result Of
his visit He and his countrymen can be
sure that our Capital City and the Ma
ton at large regard him as very well
come guest.

New Planning System

Nearby Maryland today begins a new
era in regional and local planning. one
that promises to guide Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties along orderly
lines Of progress. Under the new program
both counties will have a larger voice
than ever before in the planning of parks
and land improvements for the benefit
OF today's and future generations.
The revised planning system was
authorized at the recent General As
sembly, after long debate. Under the
old system the membership of the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was chosen by the
Governor-an arrangement which led to
charges Of political interference with
and State domination of function which
should be nonpolitical and should have
more local control. The new commission.
enlarged from six to ten members, was
appointed by the governing bodies of the
two counties and hence will be responsible
to those counties, not to the Governor.
Furthermore, the five members from each
county will constitute planning agency
authorized to handle purely intracounty
planning duties as service to the county
governments. This extra-duty plan was
adopted to meet criticism Of the lack Of
separate county planning agencies. In
fact, there was strong pressure on the
Legislature to abolish the bicounty plan
ming setup altogether in favor Of inde-
pendent planning by the countless
move which would have been step back
ward in regional planning for the Metro
politan Area
The new commission, upon It's organ
ization today, will take over the planning
tasks for all Of Montgomery County and
large part Of Prince Georges County.
One Of the first jobs will be to prepare
a preliminary master plan for the two
counties, as tentative general pattern
for future development. This is an essen
tial basic step toward assuring proper
control Of urban development in the fast
growing Maryland suburbs Just across
the District line.

New Era in Canada

Canada enters a new political era
this week when the first Conservative
government in % years takes office. The
pattern of that era is by no means clear
in advance. It was not made so in the
campaign which preceded the surprising
Conservative victory, nor has 1t been
clarified in the weeks interim which
preceded Liberal Prime Minister st.
Laurent's resignation and the call to
Conservative leader John Diefenbaker to
form a new government. This quality
of the relatively unknown is not, however,
a signal of impending crisis or of distress
ing uncertainty either in policy-making
or administration. Indeed, in making his
decision to resign before suffering an
actual setback in Parliament, Mr.. St.
Laurent is assisting in the orderly trans
fer Of responsibility. Furthermore, he
has pledged that his own party, although
outnumbered by only five seats in the
new House of Commons, will not attempt
"by obstruction" to embarrass or handi-
cap the new Conservative government.
Actually, the cautious analyses which
have followed the election upset are in
general agreement that it was more a
desire for new faces than for new policies
that prompted the voting switch. In
external policy, Canada has become
accustomed to a role of dignified indie
pendence without modifying her con-
stantly close relationship with the British
Commonwealth and with the United
States. In this role she has been an
important and effective member Of the
Western community and 1t is not likely
that the course will be changed mate
rally. On the domestic stage, the Liberal
government had been criticized for its
own tight money" policies and for per-
uniting United States investments in
Canada to become an almost controlling
factor In the national economy. Even
so, there is no firm evidence that the
Conservatives will attempt any abrupt
reversals Of these conditions.
II there are unfortunate implications
in the situation they arise in the fact
that the Conservatives will not have a
majority in their own right in Commons.
With only 100 seats in the 265-member
body, the government party may be forced
at various times into tactical alliances
with minority factions or into compro-
misses on certain issues. Only on specific

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Congress Takes Notice of Antarctic
By THOMAS R. HEINZ

taneously by Admiral Charles
Wilkes of the United States
Navy and the French Capt.
Uncomfortable. Even at this
late date, however, there prob
ably would be little dispute
over an American claim to
the vast territory between the
base Of the Palmer Peninsula
and the Ross Sea, explored
and mapped by the late
Admiral Byrd and now desig-
mated as Marie Byrd Land on
most maps. This area does not
fall clearly within boundaries
of other national claims.
More debate might arise,
based on the somewhat dis
puted doctrine of contingency,
to claims for discoveries of
Capt. Finn Rome to territory
at the head Of the Weddell
Sea, the least known part of
the continent and the most
difficult of access, despite the
fact that Capt. Rome himself
long was the only man to
have been there.
Admiral Byrd himself never
had authority to make any
territorial claims, although he
strongly advocated them. On
the High Jump expedition Of
1856 all Navy flyers dropped
markers along the routes they
followed. to be used as a pos
sible basis for claims on
grounds Of discovery If the
Nation ever should choose to
make them.
U. S. Has Big Investment
But during the past half CEN
tury, due mostly to the eXplora-
lions of Admiral Byrd and later
those of Capt. Rome and ADJ
miral George Dufek, this coun-
try has piled up considerable
investment of both money and
effort in the ice-covered con-
tinent. This is eliminated by
the very extensive Internation-
al Geophysical Year program
now under way, with a major
United States station at the
South Pole itself.
The Byrd Antarctic Com
mission proposed in the bills
presumably would replace the
United States Antarctic Office
Of the Department of the In
terror, first set UP to superin-
tend Federal activities associ-
ated with the Byrd expedi-
tons. There now is every
likelihood that the basis Of
scientific exploration which,
will be laid down during the
coming 10 months will be
followed up for many years
both by government and pri-
vate institutions and some Of
the camps now set up probably
will be maintained perman-
nently. This is being done now
by British, French, Chileans
and Argentines. Occupation
on at least a semipermanent
basis is one of the requisites
for territorial claims. The
third requisite, besides dis
covery, is exploration in which
this country has played a
leading part in this generation.
