Our AHinq Trees

Walking through the city
this time of year is to me
always somewhat depressing.
Nowhere in the United States
land 1 have been almost
everywhere east of the Mis-
sissippD have 1 seen trees
so uncared for and unsightly
as in the District.
When I lived in Phila-
delphia the tree surgeons
came around every March
and cut to the trunks II
necessary trees that were
sick. Are there any tree
surgeons in Washington?
Better no trees at all than
these grotesque ones with as
many leaves at the bottom as
at the top and half in winter
and half in summer garb.
Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh
away: and every branch that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more
fruit" John xv,2). This
points to a fundamental
principle of nature and OF
life. Washington may be i'm
pressive, but beautiful. never,
in its present condition.

Stores at Fault?

In The Star was a lament
by the tradesmen of Wash
ington because of their losses
by pilferage. In the course
of the story the usual dep
rivation of rights of the
ordinary citizen was banded
about as the only cure.
I suggest these people look
to their own shortcomings
first. They pile things upon
counters in proximity to
weak willed kleptomaniacs,
now abundant in Washing
ton, then argue all people
must be suspect.
1t would be far better If
they were more realistic and
put a barrier in front of their
merchandise, compelling the
purchaser to raise his arm
and reach forward to secure
an article. than contemplate
ing hit-or-miss accusations.
AS there has never been a
thief in my family, I don't
know what impels people to
steal, but I do know they
have been aided by wishy-
wsshy display.

Deterrent NORAD

The new 10-year Canadian Ameri-
can agreement on Joint air defense Is
well designed to safeguard North Amer
lea against the threat implicit in
advanced nuclear weapons, SuperSonic
bombers and balliStic missiles. To that
end, it significantly improves upon
and supplantS the cooperative arrange
mentS that have heretofore existed
between our two countries.
AS explained in the notes formally
calculating the new pact, the sup
planted arrangements consisted OF CO.
ordinated but separate Canadian and
American plans that failed to provide
authoritative control over the defen-
sive action that would be needed in
the event of attack. Although adequate
enough when first drawn up, these plans
have been outdated by progress in mill
tary science and technology. Accord
ingly, to strengthen their own security
and the security of NATO as whole,
our two countries now have In opera
ton, and have had for some time,
North American Air Defense Command
(NORAD) whose main feature is that it
is more tightly "integrated" than the
former Setup.
This means that NORAD, which is
directed from headquarters at Colorado
Springs, Colorado, is capable Of marked
ly swifter defensive action than that
provided by the old arrangements. It's top
commander is General Earl E. Partridge
of the United States Air Force, and its
deputy commander is Air Marshal c.
Roy Slemon of Canada. Between them,
subject to the chiefs of staff of both
countries, these two men run the show,
with General Partridge exercising "op-
irrational control over the American
Canadian forces assigned to him-con-
troll of a sort calculated to promote the
fastest possible response to threatened
or actual attack on North America.
OF course, in the age of supersonic
bombers, not to mention balliStic mis-
siles, there is precious little time to
counter an attack. Even so, defensive
arrangements like NORAD-if vigor-
ously sustained on an alert around-the-
clock basis-can make good use of that
time. Indeed, in that sense, its exist
ence can serve as powerful deterrent
to the potential aggressor. ~

Still Inching Its Way

Among my old papers ! md
a 1853 Star Pictorial Maya
zine stating that with state
hood for Hawaii apparently
a certainty" a stream of de-
signs for a modified flag was
being submitted to the Gov
eminent. One design was set
out, with an added star in the
lower. free corner of the pres
ent flag; another with two
such stars, apparently to in
clude Alaska. Now comes an
other publication, announc-
ing that United States flag
makers are watching anx-
iously as Alaska statehood
inches its way through Con-
gress," which means for them
"49 stars in Old Glory-and
40 million new flags to be
sold" What an argument!
Forty-six years ago our
last State was admitted and
America became full-grown.
a great republic Of contiguous
States-her flag of 4S bright
stars now known to all the
world. I am old. / will leave
none to come after me. to be-
vail her fall If her sover-
eighty is scattered from the
Arctic to the Equator. But

ter her greatness for political
advantage-what will their
children say?

Not Fantastic

It is a measure of the fantastic ma
ture of our age that Dag Hammarsktold,
Secretary General of the United Nations,
has seriously proposed to the Confer
ence of Governors in Florida that all
the worlds powers promptly join in re-
nouncing any territorial claims to outer
space. BY coincidence, in approving
bill to establish civilian control over our
own country'S nonmilitary ventures into
the high heavens, special House COM
mittee has called for essentially the same
sort of international celestial agreement
to insure that mans coming explora-
ton of the regions far above us will be
carried out solely for peaceful purposes.
AS Mr.. Hammarskjold has put it,
once this exploration goes beyond its
present modest limits, the nations en-
gagged in it will face the problem-legal
and otherwiSe-of avoiding potentially
dangerous rivalrieS in relation to ce-
lestial bodies like the moon, Mars and
Venus. These are places, judging from
all expert predictions, that will one day
be visited by human travellers, to be ex-
plotted thereafter, in one way or an
other, for mankind's use. Accordingly,
In Mr.. Hammarskjold'S words, 1--WE have
here vital field Of activities and joint
interests for which rules must be estab-
lished and procedures must be created
that will render it possible for the world
community to safeguard the observance
of those rules" This means, Of course,
rules designed to insure that no one
power will seek to extend its sovereignty
to the interplanetary field and that the
universe around us will be International
ized-with no single piece of it subject
to the sovereignty or military control OF
any state-for the benefit OF peoples
everywhere.
At the moment, to the earthbound
among US, all this may appear to add
up to an issue too remote to be taken
seriously. But that is not really the fact
of the matter. Actually, as the experts
have emphasized, the space age-an age
in which man will almost certainly be-
come lunar voyager and interplanetary
explorers rushing in upon us very fast.
That is why Mr.. Hammarskjold, with
the support of the special House COM
mittee, has Solemnly advocated an early
international agreement on the subject.
Fantastic as it may seem, the idea
which is scheduled for debate in the
u. Ms real enough to merit careful
attention right now.

Not PERSONAL

The outburst of resentment
against Vice President Nixon
and his wife was not per-
sonal, but a protest aimed
against our Government try
ing to sell foreign countries a
democracy they do not want.
The population % these
countries. south Of our bor-
der, consists of a proud peo-
pie who vary in complexion
from white to black. living
together in perfect harmony.
In a recent trip to one Of
these countries the driver of
our touring car said. In my
country, you eat and sleep in
our best hotels and enjoy
all privileges. Why is it under
your democracy you are seq
regated on streetcars, buses
and hotels, disfranchised and
your children cannot attend
school with other American
children?" I tried unsucceSs-
fully to explain that this was
a minority action confined to
a few Southern States.
His comment was Then in
your country the tail wags
the dog; in my country the
dog wags the tail"
No country can command
respect of their neighbors
when it tolerates mistreat-
ment, denial of civic rights
and allows racial discrimina-
ton.
We must remove the causes
that foster disrespect.

Justified Rush

"Railroading" of legislation through
Congress sometimes subjects the legisla-
tive body to JUSTIFIED criticism, especially
when the rush is designed TO avoid
proper consideration of all the issues.
But the efforts of Majority Leader Lyn-
don Johnson and of Chairman Bible Of
the Senate District Committee to push
two vital District bills through to quick
passage are completely justified. For
both measures-one to shift the location
of the proposed Constitution Avenue
bridge and the other to authorize a
$l12.2 million public works program
have been studied thoroughly by COM
mittees of both chambers and have been
recommended as urgent.
AS a matter of fact, few pieces OF
legislation have been considered and
reconsidered as thoroughly as the bridge
bill. And the public works measure was
carefully prepared by joint committee
of the Senate and the House which de-
voted much time to hearing witnesses
and otherwise exploring the Districts
need for capital Improvements and for
larger Federal share in the cost Of run
ming the Nations Capital. Not sur
prisingly, the House sped the bridge and
works bills to passage last Monday. And,
In view Of the commendable determine
ton of Senator Johnson, the chances
seem very good for prompt enactment of
both bills next Monday. If ever any
legislation deserved to be "railroaded,"
these two bills are proper subjects for
such action.

New School Head

The selection of DR.. Carl F. Hansen
as superintendent of the District school
system provides this community with
new opportunity in local education. The
choice, we think, was wise one. DR..
Hansen has the ability to "sell" needed
innovations within the system. He can
take criticism-yet he does not appear
to be overly sensitive to the constant
preSSures that play on a man in his
position. OF more Importance, perhaps,
DR.. Hansen has been ready in the past
to face indignation and its problems
effectively and realistically.

the Association of State and

We of the association are
not going to scold. But we are

What can I do about the

be fully as important to him
as the far more frequently
voiced query, why don't
they do something about
traffic deaths?"
One Of the major tasks we
have, and this is particularly
true in the District of Column

that the "slow down" cam

to speed in the 70-80-90-mile-

fortunately, is the picture
generally created when we
refer to the speed men,

is a major death and injury
factor, but dangerous speed
