who hit his 18th homer on Satur-
day racked up a triple and single.

In Saturdays game Grantsville
defeated Flintstone 1871 behind the
five-hit twirling of Earl Oracle.
After three successive singles in
the seventh inning, Oracle walked
Billy Hook, his mound opponent
who had struck out three times pre-
viously to force in the run. Oracle
struck out seven, walked five. Keis-
ter hit a triple and single and also
collected two hits. Rappit Keister
raped out two triples and batted
in four runs Tucker Cain hit safe
ly twice, both doubles; Llewellyn
singled and doubled to pace Grants
ville's 15-hit attack.

will have play-off series. Hynd-
man, Grantsville and BarrelvilIe

Crisis in High-C

In these uncertain times II Is hardly
surprising that the new year was less
than 48 hours old before an entirely
fresh international crisis was bright
ening our front pages. And unhappily.
as with so many others Of our tried and
tested crises-the sort we have been
living with for most Of the past decade
this one also involves us with our
friends, not our enemies. 1t is possible
even that this one, like others, may
shake the foundations of the grand
alliance on which the free world banks
so heavily. 1t is. indeed, sorry note
and therein lies clue.
For underlying this crisis is a dis
pute as to whether the notes OF
American-born Prima Donna Maria
Callas were good or bad. Among a blue
ribbon audience attending the gala
opening Of the 1858 Rome Opera season
"a Jury" traditionally well qualified
there was marked difference of opinion
as Nine. Callas sang her way through
the first act Of Norma" From the
balcony, where the authentic opera
experts Sit" there were catcalls. From
the orchestra stalls, where the distin-
guished audience included President
and Nine. Gronchi, there was warm
applause as the act ended But from
Nine. Callas herself there we're no more
musical notes at all, as she first locked
herself In her dressing room and then
retreated to her hotel by underground
passage. To the management, aided by
police, was left the problem Of termi-
mating the evening.
But this crisis, like Others brought
strong figures to the fore. Elsa Maxwell,
whose versatility-at least is unuues-
toned, emerged in the dual role OF dag
nostician and champion. Nine. CallaS,
DR." Maxwell explained, had a bad
cold . simply lost her voice entirely.
Right now the poor girl can barely
whisper" Perhaps with even greater
courage, Opera Manager Carlo Latini
disclosed darkly that Nine. Callas "cele-
brated the beginning OF the new year
until late hour, without observing
necessary precautions" And Socialist
Deputy In the Italian Parliament de-
manded to know what the government
intends to do"-an interesting question,
the more one thinks OF It.
On the whole, II we must have
crises. this is one much to our liking--a
beauty at bay, while crowds surge In this
streets and people who may or may not
know what they are talking about ex-
press authoritative opinions. Seldom,
II ever, has an opera season gotten OFF
to q more dramatic start. Viva callasl

The Falls Church School Board has
fought the good fight, and lost the
battle. In an unusual proceeding, the
school board chairman, armed with a
petition signed by 1909 city voters, had
asked circuit Judge to require the
City Council to hold q referendum on
q $750,000 school bond issue. The Judge
ruled, however, that the council, under
the terms Of the city charter, was within
its rights in refusing to permit vote on
the bond issue question.
This leaves the community faced
with the problem of packing an esti-
mated 1850 students by 1861 into a
junior-senior high school designed to
accommodate ESQ. This is a prospect
which promises to have q seriously ad-
verse effect on one Of the better schools
in this area. Perhaps a majority Of the
voters would prefer to have 1t this way.
But only referendum could determine
this, and it Is a shame, In our opinion,
that the people of Falls Church have
been denied an opportunity TO speak for
themselves.

The overland race to the South Pole
Just won by Sir Edmund Hillary, the
New zealander who conquered Mount
Everest, is reminiscent of similar race
IS years ago In which the Norwegian.
Road Amundsen, won a victory over
the Britisher, Captain Robert Scott. The
two contests cannot readily be COM
pared, however, for the l9l1-l2 race
was test of human and canine endur-
ance. whereas the latest dash depended
largely on mechanical efficiency. This
is not to detract from the impreSSiveness
Of Sir Edmund's bold exploit In beating
his British competitor. DR.. Vivian Fuchs,
TO the pole.
In the case Of Captain SCOTS expe-
dition. the savagery Of the Antarctic
continent and Its weather was beyond
the endurance Of Scott. his companions
and his faithful dogs. After battling
their way against winds, snow and Ice
for more than two months. only to ind
that Captain Amundsen had reached
the pole five weeks before, the Scott
expedition persisted from malnutrition
and exposure late in March of 1912. The
group had completed the longest jour-
ney ever made by dog sled. l.s42 miles.
Amundsen, favored by better weather
and following different course, had
arrived at the pole on December II, 1911,
with 5 men. So dogs and 4 sleds.
BY contrast. the Hillary and Fuchs
expeditions are equipped with powerful
tractors capable Of blowing through
deep snow and over rugged ice. The
tractors pull caravan of sleds and
equipment, including heated cabins for
the drivers and many other comforts
unknown TO earlier explorers OF the
white wilderness. Radio maintains COM
munication with supply bases. The world
knew Of Sir Edmunds arrival at the
bottom Of the world within a few min
utes Of his dispatch of the victory
message to Scott Base from which he
set out October Is. Meanwhile DR.. Fuchs,
delayed by bad weather. is pushing to-
ward meeting with Hillary at the pole,
whence DR.. Fuchs will press on toward
Scott Base in an effort to be the first
to cross the whole Antarctic continent.
Certainly the spirit of adventure
which animated Captain Scott and his
men-and which was reflected in his
last note to the world-has been an
inspiration for all who have followed
him into the bleak Antarctic. including
Hillary and Fuchs. Scotts final written
words, found on his body, were: II do
not regret this journey, which has shown
that Englishmen can endure hardships,
help one another and meet death with
as great fortitude as ever in the past"

Water Supply Problem

Suburban Maryland officials, in re-
ports to Senate House committee, have
stressed that the water supply problem
has become a major concern in nearby
Maryland. They have reason to be wor-
ried, for the Patuxent River, once the
main source Of supply for the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission, can
not furnish the water demanded by rap
idly growing communities OF the area.
They are looking now to the Potomac for
future relief. However, while there is
no shortage Of water In the Potomac
valley for all the needs OF the WASH
ington Metropolitan Area, new storage
and distribution facilities will be needed
to meet future requirements.
While Maryland "owRs" tho Poto-
mac River along its boundary, 1t has
no desire to control the use o. water
from the stream. The States principal
public service and planning agencies
informed the congressional committee
that Maryland looks TO the United States

Commission on t4 Potomac River Ba-

Diplomatic Note

The MANA article from
Tripoli which appeared In
the December 81 issue OF
The Star under the title
French Patrols in Libya Put
United States. Britain on
Spot" contains conceptual
inaccuracies which ! would
like to rectify. No doubt that
the French armed forces in
the last three months have
violated the Libyan frontiers
with Algeria in contempt of
the international law. No
doubt also that the Libyan
Government was In consulta-
ton with the British and
United States Governments
on the subject. But consulta-
tons were made In the
spirit and framework OF
the Anglo-Libyan Alliance
Treaty and Of the Libyan-
American friendship and CO.
operation.
To say that the British
and United States Govern
ments were brought into
the picture because 'Libya's
Government has little eifec-
tive authority outside the
Mediterranean coastal belt"
and that THE British handle
Libya's foreign affairs" Is q
clear misconception. The
Libyan Government exer-
cises fully those authorities
given to them by the Libyan
federal constitution equally

Wire-Top Tempest

Those who have an abiding faith
In the infallibility OF old maxims will
look hopefully for some good to come
out of the wire-tap tempest which has
been stirred up by New York judge.
Justice Samuel Hofstadter says he
will issue no more wire-tap warrants
despite a State law which authorizes
them In certain circumstances. He takes
the position that Supreme Court rul-
ing last month bans all taps as being
illegal and he says he will not be a
party to any illegal procedure.
For years, the Supreme Court has
held that Federal agents could not use
vire-tap evidence in Federal courts.
Last months ruling broadened this by
holding that such evidence cannot be
used In Federal courts, even though 1t
was obtained by State agents acting
under State law. Justice Hofstadter
now has administered the final blow,
announcing that he interprets the SUI
preme Court decision as meaning that
all wire-taps, State authorized or other
wise, are Illegal.
This has created quite stir In New
York law enforcement circles, where the
authorized wire-tap Is considered an
indispensable tool in dealing with GER
tain types Of crimes. But the tempest
which Justice Hofstadter has kicked up
may be one Of those Ill winds which
finally blows some good.
The Federal ban on overlapping
traces back to Section sos of the Federal
Communications Act, which makes IL
Illegal to intercept and divulge phone
conversations. Some people think 1t Is
illegal merely to intercept them. How
ever this may be, there is no doubt that
the Supreme Court has q basis for its
position, and there Is also no doubt that
some Of the language used by the court
last month seems to support Justice
Hofstadter's stand
The remedy. II there Is to be one,
lies in amendment of Section sos by
Congress. We have never thought that
the legislators intended that this pro-
vision should be construed so as to
create privileged sanctuary for crimi-
nails. But this is what has happened.
and Congress, despite repeated requests,
has failed to amend the law. II Justice
Hofstadter is right, however, and II law
enforcement is to be crippled in enough
States, 1t may be possible, at last, to get
some corrective action.
