Effective Regional Planners

The National Capital Regional Plan
ming Council deserves commentator
and support for its current efforts to
strengthen its organizational structure.
Since its formation by Congress in
1882, the council has been closely tied
to the National Capital Planning Com
mission. The two share common stan.
and are financed by single Federal ape
preparation. Many Of its members
representatives of the areas various
local jurisdictions--view the council as
a sort OF monthly social forum, to which
they owe little responsibility or allegi-
ance. The reason. primarily, is that they
look on 1t largely as Federal agency.
They feel the council never will.become
an effective regional force until It has
a greater measure Of control over It's
own finances, technical stan and policy
programs.
These sentiments are understand
able. Certainly higher degree Of inde-
pendence from the NCPC-especially
involving finances-should engender a
more active. effective program. The
council Is wise, however, in not leaping
TO any precipitous action. In whatever
course Of action II decides. the councils
future relationship to the NCPC should
be carefully considered. To have these
two important agencies at loggerheads
would only complicate the Capitals
already-muddled planning picture.
II it is to stand alone, the council
also must determine, in advance Of any
action. just what support it can count
on from the various local Jurisdictions
1t represents. The council should take It's
case to each jurisdiction. and we hope
the Jurisdictions respond. in the inter-
ests OF Joint attack on their common
problems Of area growth.

Strange Attitude

The attitude of the Virginia Advis-
DRY Legislative Council toward a pro-
posed modernization of the highway
fund allotment formula is puzzling, TO
say the least The council conceded that
the formula is unfair to rapidly growing
areas Of the State, such as Northern
Virginia, but recommended that the
inequitable arrangement be continued
for the present. In so recommending,
the council rejected the advice of its
employed experts, who had cited injus-
tees resulting from use of the outmoded
formula.
Under the system adopted in 1892,
when the State took over the highway
network and launched a farm-to-
market road program, funds for high
way construction and Improvement are
being allocated under a formula which
uses decennial census figures as one
factor in calculating road needs. Thus,
the 1850 population figures for Arling-
ton, Fairfax and other expanding COM
munities still are being used, although
they obviously are far under today's
population levels And In the appor-
tionment OF money for primary high
ways, no consideration is given to traffic
volume. The consultants' report to the
council stated that II this method of
fund distribution Is continued until 1870
some rural counties will receive two or
three times as much money as their
road needs justify.

lature: I'VE are cognizant Of the prob

Opportunity Knocking

III moving 10 speed up the Develop
ment Of an anti-misSile missile, the De-
tense Department has indicated that
the progress already made leaves little
room for doubt that such q weapon viii
eventually become an operating reality,
and maybe in relatively short time.
Certainly. in terms of defense, the
promise implicit in 1t is so great that
no effort should be spared to bring 1t
into being at the earliest possible
moment.
Yet. even though a device Of this
sort would offer a large measure Of
protection against MISUNDERSTANDING
and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
1t could not be 100 per cent effective.
In spite Of it. certain number of
RBMs or ICBMs-enough to cause al
most unimaginable atomic-hydrogen
devastation-would surely get through
to the target areas in total assault.
Accordingly, in the sense that there can
be no fool-proof defense against all of
them, these fantastic new instruments
Of mass destruction come close to being
weapons Of ultimate" or absolute"
power as'far as obliteration Of cities and
nations is concerned.
1t is for this reason that President
Eisenhower has proposed to Soviet
Premier Bulganin that prompt action
be taken to establish an international
system Of control under which missiles
and all other outer-Space machines
would be used exclusively for peaceful
purposes. Such a system, as Secretary
Dulles explained last Thursday at the
National Press Club, could be easily
established within the United Nations as
a genuinely workable safeguard against
the enormous danger that this partic-
ular phase of the arms race-if allowed
to go on unchecked-would equip the
human race with the capacity to destroy
itself quite quickly and quite completely.
Thus. in Mr.. Dulles words. The
kind of instruments that are used now,
at least, to penetrate the world atmos-
phere and to reach outer space are
large, cumbersome /. and they could
not be concealed from even the most
superficial form of inspection II it were
from the air. Therefore. at the present
stage of the art, you might say, we
have something which is readily subject
to being controlled. And the important
thing, perhaps the vital thing, is TO
get into this control business while that
is still the case" In short, do it now. or
q decade hence the ICBMs and related
developments may be as uncomfortable
as are today's nuclear weapons.
AS the saying goes, opportunity
knocks but once, and the opportunity
knocking now in outer space is, as
Mr.. Dulles has said, almost staggering
In its possible implications-its impli-
cations II we do 1t, and its tragic i'm
plications II we do not do It," What
remains to be seen is whether the Soviet
leaders feel the same way. II they re-
spond affirmatively, the world will have
reason to be hopeful. Otherwise, con-
sidering the fearsome potentialities of
the missile age, mankind will have to
be excused If it just feels like staying
in bed with all the blankets pulled up
over its head.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

We have too many things
TO think about. and no better
equipment TO do the think
ing with than the cavemen
of prehistory.
Somehow, we like that
word, prehistory.
There must have been an
awful lot Of 1t, and it must
have changed US all in varied
and unaccountable ways.
The cave, in itself. was
quite an institution. 1t pos
sessed all the charm, to a
caveman. of a modern hotel
complete with bath and
television.
Prehistory is in all Of us.
and we have never been able
TO get rid Of it.
No words come down to us
from those days. The only
way We have to know any
thing about 1t is by guess
work.
Since guessing is still a
great part Of knowledge, to
make q guess about some
thing Of which We know
nothing or little is a fine way
TO associate ourselves with
prehistory.
"a -
Today's unalterable liking
for facts. as we call them,
shows better than anything
else just how much guessing
We do. and about facts, too.
We are still guessing, and
still failing to admit it.
So we must work up some
sort OF complex as the doc
tors call our queer mixtures
Of thought and emotion.
We see the Sputnik in the
sky. up above the world so
high, and according to our
inheritance from prehistory
was pass it Of with a Joke or
cringe secretly in our hearts.
We cannot get away from
1t all. and this is what they
call guilt complex. Perhaps
1t is as good q term as any.
1t means our ability to forget
what has gone before is
mixed UP in ones mind
with secret facts so long lost
they are totally forgotten
except in this way.
If We look at the best man
has been able to produce. We
are innocent beings.
If We see his worst, we are
guilty.
Let us try to keep the good.
and the glory. and the good
intent. in our minds and
hearts.
Then We, too, shall feel
innocent.
