The Danger Is Not Over

The news of this years Christmas
trafiic slaughter is no more depressing
than the fact that the most dangerous
season on the highways is not yet past.
With well over 200 men, women and
children dead and thousands Of others
injured as the result of automobile
crashes during the Yuletide holiday,
safety authorities warn that the toll
will climb to much grimmer heights be-
fore the New Year celebration ends next
week. II is always so, despite the best
efforts of trafilc. highway and other
agencies to reduce the carnage.
During the period Of peace and good
will Just passed the number Of traffic
fatalities rose discouragingly close to
the all-time-high mark Of 253 for the
one-day Christmas holiday in 1s46.
Last years four-day Christmas celebra-
ton Saturday through Tuesday, was
marred by the worst holiday highway
death total OF record-7O6. The COM
bined Christmas-New Year toll last year,
LIS deaths, also was record. The
Nations motorists now have made a
substantial start toward equaling or ex-
ceeding that shocking total.
study Of accident statistics has
shown that this season Of merrymaking
invariably is the most perilous period to
venture onto the public highways. And
analysis of the causes OF the fatal ac-
cidents has shown that the chief Of
fender is that deadly combination, speed
and alcohol. An insurance executive, H.
@. Kemper. points out that "the drink

Defense Red Tape

Edwin l.. Weisl, special counsel TO
the Senate Preparedness subcommittee,
summed up the Nations lag In missiles
and In arms production generally with
one phrase: red tape. In an interview
In the New York Herald Tribune he
blamed lead time" (years required to
develop new weapons) on the ''inbusi-
nesslike" way the Defense Department
goes about providing the armed forces
with new devices for waging war. We've
got to speed our decisions" he said, "cut
out red tape and allow funding for q
long-enough period SO plans can be made
and carried out to finality. BY the time
we get weapons system finished It's
obsolete"
Testimony before the subcommittee
tended to support this view. Professor
J. Sterling Livingston of the Harvard
Business School, for example. deplored
the fact that It takes US five or six years
to develop new weapons system,
whereas Russia manages to do 1t In only
q year or two. This time advantage Is
a dangerous gift to give our potential
enemy in an era when security Of q
nation can depend on the speed with
which new missiles and rockets are
developed and produced.
Mr.. Weisl said that the subcommit-
tee received abundant evidence Of the
current superiority Of the Russians in
the missile race. IF they continue at
the present rate" he warned. they'll
be ahead of us in everything" What
seems to have been lacking at the Pen
tagon in the past has been a sense Of
urgency, perhaps engendered by an un-
warranted assumption that Soviet tech
nology and Soviet production could not
match ours. II there was such an as
sumption, 1t disappeared simultaneously
with the appearance in the sky Of the
first Of two Russian-launched satellites.
1t is safe to infer that there was no
excess lead time" In the development
of the Sputniks or, more Importantly.
of the powerful rockets which sent them
into their orbits about the earth. II
the Russians can cut red tape, ofhcial
indecision, inefficient methods and the
other factors that affect lead time, there
is no reason why we cannot do 1t, too.

The Queen on TV

Judging from all accounts, Queen
Elizabeth II scored big hit on Christ
mas Day in her first personal television
appearance in Britain. This was q sort
of fireside chat in which she welcomed
her countrymen Ito the peace of my
own home" to extend to them there her
best wishes for happy holiday season.
She was pretty. She was charming. She
impaired a great sense of warmth and
sincerity. And to crown everything, in
q very nice womanly and wifely fashion,
she departed from script to throw few
beguiling and quite unrehearsed smiles
at her off-camera husband, Prince
Philip.
But the performance was excellent
for more reasons than the fact that the
young Queen seemed so radiant to her
viewers. 1t was excellent, above all, for
the simple but eloquent nature of the
address she delivered. She spoke Of the
profound changes in our time-a time In
which many people feel lost and unable
to decide what TO hold on to and what to
discard" And then she went on to warn
against those who would "carelessly
throw away ageless ideals as II they
we're old and outworn machinery. They
would have religion thrown aside, mo-
rality in personal and public life made
meaningless, honesty counted as fool
ishnesS, and self-interest set up in place
of self-restraint. >. Today we need
special kind Of courage, not the kind
needed In battle but kind which makes
us stand up for everything that we know
is right, everything that is true and
honest. We need the kind of courage
that can withstand the subtle corrup-
tion of the cynics so that we can show
the world that we're not afraid of the
future"
AS for herself, the young Queen In
her Christmas message made a point
OF telling her people, Il cannot lead you
into battle, do not give you laws or
administer justice, but can do some
thing else-I can give you my heart and
my devotion" Small wonder that her
countrymen have been impressed by
both the counsel and the affection she
has thus addressed TO them. Her erst-

Lonq-Ronqe Objective

The Federal City Council Is right
In holding that a Metropolitan Area
authority, with statutory powers to act
on interjurisdictional problems. is the
ideal ultimate remedy for regional con-
fiict and confusion. Such an overall
oficial agency could get things done in
fields Of public service where voluntary
intergovernmental teamwork has made
little or no progress. But the creation
of an authority with the wide powers
proposed by the council is necessarily
a long-range objective, possible of full
realization only through co-ordinated
legislative action by the Federal Govern
ment and the Maryland and Virginia
General Assemblies.
The council points out that New
York and New Jersey, acting by COM
pact have established the Port Of New
York Authority, which builds and con-
trolS docks, airports, bridges. tunnels
and other transportation facilities serv-
ing the two States. The authority was
a long time coming into being, however.
1t was discussed for years before joint
commission was set UP in 1917 to study
means Of achieving INTERPRETATIONS
action. II was not until 1871 that a
compact approved by the two legisla-
lures was ratified by Congress. But the
New York-New Jersey agency has proved
well worth all the trouble.
The creation by compact Of a sim
liar authority in the Washington area
would not be an easy task, either. There
Is always a reluctance by State agencies
to surrender any of their powers to a
higher authority. Virginia has been
particularly sensitive on this pont. But
the two nearby States are becoming
increasingly aware Of the need for better
coordination of planning and action
in the Washington area. They are find-
ing it to their advantage to cooperate
more Fundamentally than ever before
In solving water supply, sewage disposal,
traffic and other problems of mutual
concern.
Voluntary INTERPRETATIONS action
locally is an encouraging sign of an
awakening attitude throughout the met
ropolitan region. Such teamwork should
be strengthened and expanded wher-
ever possible. Ultimately, however, as
the Federal City Council has empha-
sized. more dependable and more
effective means Of insuring coordination
must be devised. The compact plan
seems to offer the best hope Of achieving
this end.

Effect on Walking
by the end of the first

leaning on all four extrem-
tiles. The rear paws bend un-
der and the animals fall, most
frequently to the left side.
The body is still curved some
what to the right. The AMI
mails begin TO walk by the
start of the second week.
They stand during this period
with their left sides against
surrounding objects and
spread their paws widely.
Their gait is uneven and they
frequently fall. Gradually
their walking improves.
Three weeks after the
operation the dogs. as a rule.
walk well although some
alterations are still present.
There are staggering. Disco
ordinated movements, some
times falling. The right
limbs are raised higher than
the left and held longer than
usual in the air. Often they
stop with a raised right rear
paw. making involuntary
movements with it. This is
true TO a lesser extent of the
right front paw. The dogs
standing, leaned principally
on the left legs. On occasion
an animal stood on its left
limbs. holding up the right.
by the end of the second
month the majority could
walk well and run, SO that
1t became difficult to tell
operated animals from un-
operated. But the motor dis
turbances could still be noted
when they had to perform
more complicated tasks, such
as walking on a ladder, es-
pecially downward. Electric
measurements still showed q
somewhat heavier load on
the left legs than on the
right. Further improvement
did not occur.

You know a bit about such

So you somehow decided
that it would be a good thing

Planning in the everyday

1t might mean getting

1t might mean, this old

Tox-Exempt Education

Amen 70 the suggestion OF
Representative Jennings. Vir-
ginia that we extend an
additional $500 income tax
exemption 10 the parents Of
college students.
A college education was
once regarded as an oppor-
tlinity and a privilege. for
which many young people
and their parents worked
hard. 1t Is now being pound
ed into the ears Of adoles-
cents that 1t Is an obligation
they owe their civilization.
II is illogical. inconsistent,
and insincere TO expect them
and their parents 10 take
this too seriously 90 long as
they are taxed for doing their
duty.
It would not be costly to
government to exempt from
income tax the board. room
clothes. tuition. books and
supplies required to pursue
a course Of study in an ac-
credited college. In most in
stances the figure would be
over $1,000. But we should 60
all the way and exempt the
actual cost Of the education.
This should hold whether the
parent Is footing the bill, or,
as is often the case with post
graduate students. the stu
dent himself. Many of them
work part time and borrow
heavily. Then they are sound
ly taxed while they repay the
borrowed money from the
modest salaries they move
into. This should not be,
Why not also name courses
Of study to which these ex-
emptions could be applied? II
the country needs engineers
and physicists. what would be
wrong with presenting the in
centive of tax exemption for
students in those courses?
Let's make sense. Free men
in a free country have shown
what they can do up till now.
Removing the burden of in
come tax from students We
claim to need would merely
make them free again-free
in a way our fathers and
grandfathers were free. The

zens in any case-hut let US
