Or. MuIik and the u. NJ.

The United Nations General Assem-
bly, has chosen well in electing Lebanese
Foreign Minister Charles Malik as presi-
dent of its 18th regular session. In a
narrow sense, since most of the Arab
League and the Soviet bloc were lined
up against him in favor Of his good
friend Mohammed Ahmed Mahgoub of
the Sudan, his victory by comfortable
majority may be regarded as a sort of
triumph" for our side. For he has
been strongly. pro-WeStern and pro-
American in his views, including not
least of all those bearing upon our coun-
try's July military moves in response to
Lebanon's call for help.
Yet it would be mistake to put
too much emphasis on this aspect of
Dr. Malik'S election, as if 1t were some
thing full of extraordinary significance
in the contest between East and West.
Actually, he has long been leading
candidate for the post, and his elevation
to it is in keeping with kind of gen.
tlemen'S agreement reached last year
in the Assembly. More than that, in
accepting the honor, he has been at
pains to stress that he intends to do
everything possible not to favor one
side against another. Instead, as he
has put it, his objective as president
will be to serve the U. N. as a whole
rather than his own country or any
bloc, and to that end he will strive to.
promote "a spirit of forbearance and
tolerance and patience and understand
ing and mutual accommodation"
This is as it should be. After all,
the role of the ASSembly'S presiding
officer is supposed to be diSpaSSionate
and beyond partiSanship. The scholarly
and perSonable DR.. Malik has made
clear that he is keenly aware of that
fact, and he can be counted upon to
conduct himself accordingly. The entire
General Assembly has reason for full
confidence on that score.

I wish to take exception to
your editorial commencing
proposed access route "B" to
the Chantilly airport. You
assume that people living in
the area of Tysons Corner
would relish the idea and the
actuality of a clover-leaf for
a freeway in their front yard!
Have you ever thought that
there is an electric line pos
sibility to that airport? Why
didn't you suggest that a fast
monorail would be the an
swer, instead of abetting an
other freeway to the three
poor overcrowded bridges
that such a freeway would
further jam with automo-
bileS?
If were a Senator perhaps
1 could prevent a clover-leaf
from cluttering up acres of
ground in a peaceful COM
munity, especially when there
is Route so and a railroad,
both with right-of-wayS al
ready acquired.

Most people take vitaminS
to make them feel better.
So that was how Temple
ton Jones got around to royal
jelly.
This substance, stolen from
the hive, has been used for
the last two years for human
consumption, on the belief
that what is good for the
queen bee is good for peo-
pie, too.
It has blossomed in a hum
dred face creams, for the
ladies, and in vitamin mix
lures for everybody.
The joker, of course, is that
what may be good for the
queen bee may not be at all
good for the rest of the hive
including the members Of
the human hive.
But Temp Jones, an ex-
perimenter by nature, thought
he would try it,

potent.
Jones swallowed a colorful
capsule with his customary
gusto and i'll concealed hope.
Just what he expected. he
didn't know exactly himself.
Was it to fly away on the
wings Of song, bee fashion? q
Or was it to become rich

What happened was none
of these.
He got the worst headache
he'd had in years.
Did he think the royal Jelly

growled he and threw a lit
tie bottle of yellow capsules
into the wastebasket. One
thing was sure, Temp Jones

Women Could Do the Job

AS result, of urgingS by the Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency, Police Chief
Murray has agreed to assign more po-
licemen to the parking meter patrols on
Saturdays. 1t may be that this reas-
Signment of men can be carried out
without materially weakening the force
available for patrol of beats in critical
crime areas. But the reaSStgnment
comes at a time when felonieS once
more are on the increase in Washing
ton and at season when nights are
longer and the opportunities for mug
gings, burglarieS and many other Of
lenses are wider. Under the circum-
stances, it would seem more logical to
reduce the parking meter patrols and
strengthen the forces on guard against
major criminals.
Chief Murrays dilemma could be
solved by adoption of proposal sup
ported by the Traffic and Enforcement
Committee of the District of Columbia
Advisory Board of the American Auto
mobile Association. The committee
favors the employment of women to
relieve policemen Of the task of check
ing on overtime parkers and writing
tickets for violators. The Police Chief
has said that he intellectually in
dorSeS the idea. However, legislation
probably would be required for such
special meter corps. The plan certainly
is worth study by the District Commit
tees at the next session of cQpgress.

serious color problem of her

trace rioting occurred in
Britain back in 1917 and it
certainly isn't caused by the
Teddy Boys, undesirable
housing, or economic compe-

antagonism between the two
races, aggravated by the abb

factor is the high rate of
Negro crime, which is making

Honoring the Poles

Governor Almond has diSpelled any
fears that the State government of Vir-
ginia Is likely to be too hospitable" to
a satellite nation of Communist Russia,
namely, Poland. Invited by the Polish
Ambassador to the United States and
blythe Jamestown Foundation, host for
the program, to ceremonies comment
Grating arrival in America of the first
Polish settlers in the early 1600s, the
Governor has declined-after receiving
protests against any such determination.
AS consequence, the ceremony sched-
uled for this week end has been can
celled, although q second one, arranged
Independently by the Polish American
Congress for a week hence, is due to
go on as planned.
Perhaps the Governors decision will
please those who protested. But there
are other ways to look at it.
There are few people whose home
land more often has been battle-ground
for invasion, or who have suffered more
from foreign tyranny, than have the
Poles. For more than three centuries,
America has been land of sanctuary
and Of opportunity for Polish emigrants
-as it has been for many peoples seek
ing freedom.
In the days when the American
colonies (including, of course, Virginia)
were fighting for their independence,
there were PoliSh-AmericanS in our
military ranks. And from Poland itself
came volunteers to our cause, profess
sional soldiers of daring and distinction.

FRAGILE Barrier

Although the initial headlines were
concentrated on what he had to say
about the crisis in the Formosa area,
Secretary Dulles, in his address to the
United Nations the other day, touched
upon all the major issues that continue
to bedevil the world. These cover
wide range They include the still
explosive situation in the Middle East
and the dangerously unchecked arma-
ments race. They also include queS-
tons bearing upon the threat of recur-
rent aggression and the deSirability Of
creating special standby u N peace
force" to cope with that threat.
Mr.. Dulles has tied in all these
problems with the yearning of human
beings everywhere, especially in under
developed lands, for an improvement
In their well-being health, their
housing, their education, their living
standards in general. AS he has put it,
"The major obstacle to maximum eco
nomic development is the ever-present
danger of direct or indirect aggression
and the consequent staggering cost of
armament and of collective security.
Whenever there is an outburst of mill
tary activity, as now in the Taiwan
Straits, that is setback both to peace
and to mankind'S material betterment.
So the Secretary has emphasized to
the world that the United States-which
takes no pleasure whatever in spending
huge sums of money on arms-iS deter
mined to do everything within reason
to promote agreements of a sort that
would enable all nations to devote the
great bulk of their financial OUTLAWS to
the constructive ends of economic adj
vancement. IN that respect Mr.. Dulles
has been at pains to affirm that our
country is prepared to make new and
far-reaching commitments to speed up
international developmental programs
But at the same time, observing that
the u NJ exists chiefly to maintain
peace and work for human betterment,
he has warned the Assembly as follows:
We need to see more clearly that
progress in raising living standards and
in extending freedoms around the world
is being held back because of aggressions
engineered to advance the expansionist
urges Oh CeTtdlu Inc treasures
and energies of the nations are largely
being directed into a tragic and vain
search for armed security in a world in
which aggression is not yet effectively
outlawed. Every aggression is not only
a threat to the fragile barrier that stands
between us and general nuclear war, but
also another setback for the aspirations
of mankind
Finally, having said this, Mr.. Dulles
has asked the Assembly: MAY we not
hope that if the minds and efforts of
governments concentrate more fully
upon the welfare of their own peoples
and creative tasks of universal import,
the issues that divide the world may
fade away and the cold war become a
thing of the paSt?" The answer can at
best be only speculative right now In
the last analysis, everything depends on
what the furtive Soviet empire really
has in mind in relation to "the fragile
barrier"

Whittier 240?

Your September Is article,
planners Scored on 240 STALL
ing" presented Donald E.
Gingery's position. which
shows that he must have had
eyes and ears closed at the
public hearing held by the
Maryland State Roads Com
mission in Bethesda last
January on proposed routes
for US. 240 into the District.
The public, well and ably
represented at that hearing,
went on record against what
Mr.. Gingery wants.
The proposed Wisconsin
Avenue Corridor" if approved
and engineered, will be a
limited access, high speed
super highway. AS such it
will automatically be imprac-
tical as a fully useful route
from the Bethesda area to
downtown; for if Bethesda
residents wish to use it they
will have to stand in line
at the few entrance roads to
get on it and, if that is the
case, they might as well go
into town the old way. Con-
seouently, it cannot serve
with all efficiency the people
in the area.
The original plans to bring
Route 240 to Cabin John to
bypass the District and con-
meet with circumferential
arteries in Virginia by way
of a bridge across the Poto-
mac certainly should make
U. S. 240 an interstate road
and qualify it for Federal
funds under the Government
road building program. 1t
does not have to connect
with D. c. at Western avenue
to qualify for this.
What Mr.. Gingery wants,
it seems, is for the Federal
Government to pay 80 per
cent of the cost for route to
carry residents from farther
out in the country quickly
through Bethesda into the
city. This can still be &C
complished more logically r.
a route west of Bethesda, or
more direct by a route east
of Bethesda, through Rock
Greek Park.
Rush-hour traffic into and
out of town is no picnic now.
The only solution is a fast
and efficient rapid transit
system, so that there will be
no need for So-called by
passes" or corridors" for at
best they can only serve us
we'll for a few years. Does
their expense warrant that?
Efficient mass transporta-
ton should be the aim for
1880.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Nixon Performance to Start Soon
By GOULD LINCOLN

Of the entire country. He may
be q formidable candidate
for any Democrat TO oppose
when the chips are down. He
is not q new Nixon" as he
has sometimes been de-
Scribed. He is a more mature,
more experienced Nixon as
q result Of his service in
House and Senate and his
six years as Vice President.
He has an opportunity to
learn at first hand more about
the Government Of the United
States and It's problems. both
foreign and domestic, than
any other man in the Govern
ment today except the Presi-
dent, himself.
The Picture Can Change
1t is true that, as of today,
Republican chances for VIC
tory in 1860 do not appear
bright. The Democrats are
confident they can elect any
candidate they present for
President. But much could
happen in the next two years.
For example, If President
Eisenhower we're to weather
all storms and the country
remain at peace, and II the
country were to recover en-
tirely from the recession Of
1888 and prosperity we're
again at a record, the pros
poets of the G. o. P. would
be vastly different partic-
ularly as the Democratic
Party seems in danger of a
split between the Northern
and Southern wings over ra-
cial issues.
In the old days, a Vice.
President stood in a kind Of
political backwash. His job
was to preside over the
Senate and to make a few
speeches here and there. Not
so with Mr.. Nixon. He at
tends all cabinet meetings
and meetings of the National
Security Council-and pre-
sides over them if the Presi-
dent is absent, as he has
been on a number of occa-
sions. He is chairman, too,
of the Committee on Govern
ment Contracts, and he also
attends the meetings of the
legislative leaders with the
President each week.
But perhaps his greatest
activity has been travel.
Travel over the world on
goodwill trips for the United
States, and travel throughout
the United States, for both
political and nonpolitical
reasons. Frequently he has
been sent on these tours as
the personal representative
of the President.
On his goodwill tours, Mr..
Nixon has visited SIS countries
-circling the globe. He has
visited all important island
possessions of the United
States. He is personally
known to the heads of gov
eminent and leaders in all
these countries, located in all
the continents. He has done
a good job wherever he has
gone, even in Venezuela
where he was spat upon by
Communicated mobs. He has
covered 137,764 miles in his
goodwill trips abroad. In this
country, he has travelled in
six years 248,670 miles. De-
cidedly, Mr.. Nixon has seen
the world, and the world has
seen him.

Inteorotion Views

The American people have
suffered loss of their rights
and liberties because of
usurpation of power by the
Supreme Court. Public opin-
ion on the indignation ques-
ton is increasing daily.
The will of the people will
prevail over any judicial rul-
ing, for the people will work
their will on the Constitution
and the needed amendment.
One sequel will be a change
in Supreme Court procedure
and scope of authority, for
the people are rapidly dis
covering that the court is
making law conducive to
communism and socialism
which they reject. In the
process they will discover who
is running the Supreme
Court and the United States.
The large majority of the
citizens of Virginia will sup
port Gov. Almond to the end
for segregation and States
rights.

Stephen Rocks letter set
forth the correct definition

confident that Mr.. Rock had
no intention whatsoever of
agreeing with me on my
views Of Article I, Section /
of the Constitution, but,
nevertheless, that is exactly
what he did in the end, when
he said in effect that the
Supreme Court is the inter-
prefer of the law and, of
course, not "the law Of the
land" a title by which the
highest court of the land,
for some unknown reason, is
known these days. AS for
Mr.. Rocks remarks about
myself and others stirring up
a hornets nest by criticizing
the courts decision, I feel the
Supreme Court has already
gotten by with too much for
too long.
The sooner Congress is
aroused to a point of curbing

Temp Jones has been ex-

royal jelly, the food of the
queen bee.
In recent months, a craze
has arisen for this substance.
1t is put in cosmetics, to
the despair of governmental

products, to the despair of
other Government agencies.
People go right ahead buy
ing it, just the same, for the
American people are a hope
full people, and are always
willing to try anything once.
Our friend Jones is the
most hopeful of all.
He has been hoping for
years that he could find some
substance that would make
his hair look as it did 20 years
ago.
Sometimes he stands in
front of his photograph and
wonders at the youthful
sweep of looks that once was
the despair of his associates.

Somehow, in America, it is
all right for men musicians
to wear their hair long, but
not for businessmen, writers,
bus drivers, timers, rooters,
or what are you.
Somehow, the old gag about
long haired men and short
haired women still rankles in
the American mind.
1t is all mixed up with

In the old days, Temple
