Readers Letter

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I GER
tainly applaud your columns
concerning the public apathy
toward the mounting slaugh-
ter on our highways, and as q
driver who piles up between
$4,000 and 10000 miles q year.
! have more than an academic
interest in its solution.
There is a ready method of
reducing this frightful price
we are paying II our Govern
ment had the courage to take
1t. Our high standard Of liv-
ing. Is geared to our automotive
economy. which probably ex-
plains why our automobile in
surance setup has been so uni
versally ignored in the coun-
ellis Of safe driving.
Make 1t unlawful for, any
company to insure an auto
mobile, and see how many lives
are saved the first year Of
such a program. OF course,
our economy would suffer, and
that's where the courage comes
in. Are we determined to stop
the slaughter or do we tenn
porize our determination by
insisting on protecting the auto
mobile industry at the same
time?
Before you dismiss such q
proposal as radical, think about
1t for a moment. Without in
surance, there would be no in
stallment buying. without in
surance, reckless driving would
impoverish the guilty. Without
insurance, the average family's
car would become its most
precious possession and its loss
through carelessness q major
catastrophe. Without insur-
ance. there would be few teen
age drivers, few drunken driv-
ers. few reckless drivers. And,
Of course, there would be fewer
drivers altogether. which, in
itself. is q safety factor.
Dollars or lives? That's the
question. Here's q way TO save
UP to IS per cent Of the livei
now being squandered II we
really want to do II. Sincerely
Mr.. CD.S.

irStution
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Armed Services
Committee has eliminated a
$3.2 million appropriation au-
thorization voted by the House
for a Naval Academy air sta
ton near Davidsonville, Md.
1t said it did so because no
specific site had been selected
and for other reasons.
The committee said it sees no
reason why the Secretary Of
Defense cannot arrange for the
Navy to utilize a portion of
Andrews Air Force Base.
The committee called on the
secretary to direct the Navy and
Air Force to develop a plan for
the Join utilization of Andrews.
The Navy last year had asked
for an authorization of "a mil
lion to establish an airf1eld near
Davidsonville. primarily to in
doctrinate midshipmen in naval
aviation.
At that time, the committee
report said, the authorization
was not granted because of the
heavy concentration Of defense
air facilities in the Washington
area.
This year the Defense De-
partment in presenting its re-
quest for military construction
authorization, did not ask for
funds for the Annapolis base.
However, the House in approx
ing the military construction
bill included a So million item
for the base.

One of the amendments to

Control At Issue
The brief claims the place.
ment act violates the State
constitution because it takes
control away from the local
school board and places it in
the hands of the three-member
State Placement Board.
Section 1873 of the Virginia
constitution is cited, which
provides that the supervision
Of schools in each county and
city shall be vested in q school
board"
The brief contends, therefore,
that the constitutionally-
ferred power Of local school 81.
pervision is exclusively vested
in the local school board, and
that this power of local SUPER
vision is not subject to limita-
ton by the legislative power Of

adopted the placement law)."
The State has until the end
of August to file a reply brief,
and Mrs. DeFabio'S attorneys
then have 10 days in which to
