Mclaughlin
To Referee
Court Fight

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said last night he
would call together Police Chief
Robert v. Murray and Juvenile
Court Judge Orm w. Ketcham
promptly, to resolve their diff
ferences over treatment of
youngsters summoned before
the judge.
Chief Murray has charged
that the court has become too
technical. Judge Ketcham has
insisted that youngsters be pro-
tected by court procedures.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he had
not considered the problem
thoroughly enough himself to
have reached a conclusion.
Concepts Cited
THE original concept of the
court was to hold informal
hearings on charges that OBJ
viously' must be believed by the
judge in order to be acted
upon" he said on the WWDC
radio program, Report to the
People,"
Maybe we are going too far
in applying legalistic require
mentS," he added.
He said he already had dis
cussed the matter with Chief
Murray. He expected to con-
vene the conference as soon as
Inspector John E. Winters OF
the Youth Aid Division returns
to Washington, probably within
a few weeks.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, who is the
Commissioner responsible for
administration of the Police
Department, said he also had
been seriously considering using
disabled veterans or handi-
capped persons to issue traffic
tickets.
IAgal Renuirennent
/ Law now requires that ticket
ing be done by policemen. So,
the Commissioner said, that he
supposed that police employees
other than officers themselves
might be chosen to do the work
in the future.
However, the law could be
changed to permit special
licensing Of handicapped per-
sons to do the job.
Asked to comment on charges
that Health Department mo-
rale is worse than ever, Mr.
Mclaughlin said he could not
agree. The House District Com
mlttee has heard employees COM
plain about Office morale for
the past week. Mr.. Mclaughlin
said he feels the morale in the
Health Department is much
higher than it was two years
ago.
I He agreed that the discomfort
might be coming from a small
minority loyal" to the former
administration of DR.. Daniel l.
Seckinger. His successor, DR.
Daniel Finucane. was appointed
after a House Appropriation
Committee investigation.

Hold on to your handker-
chiefs: The hay fever season
has arrived.
Ragweed pollen will start
swirling in the air this week,
And the quantities of it will
give thousands of area residents
plenty to Sneeze about.
Just one plant gives off 8
billion grains of pollen each
year. according to DR.. Eloise
w. Kailin, the Districts pollen
expert.
1T takes only a few grains
to cause trouble" she says.
DR.. Kailin figures the total
ragweed pollen produced each
year in the United States is at
least l million tons-enough to
make a pyramid so floors high
with a base 1000 feet broad.
Relief Is Possible
Despite such awesome statis-
tics, the situation is not hope
less. The following suggestions
by DR.. Kailin may provide some
relief for the many people who
do suffer from hay fever but
don't have the foresight-or
patience-to seek relief through
medical treatment before the
season starts:
/. Avoid outdoor air exposure
as much as possible for the
next three or four weeks. And
certainly don't try pulling UP
weeds in your garden.
2. Drive with your car win
doWS closed.
3. Sleep with your windows
closed-or set up a filtering
service to screen out the pollen
They used to hang a wet sheet
over the window in the old
days" DR.. Kailin says.
4. Dry laundry indoors or in
a dryer.
SUCH remedies may seem
rather drastic. But, as DR.. Kai-

25-FoId Flow
Seen in Dams
For Potomac
BY JOHN w. STEPP
Star stan Writer

Water storage dams in the
Potomac River basin could pro-
vide at least Is times the total
amount of water now used by
major industry in the valley, a
report released by the Wash
ington Board of Trade dis
closed last night.
This tremendous yield OF
about 1900 billion gallons an
nually of steady river flow fol
industrial use alone would be
a key factor in the future eco
nomic development potential OF
the Potomac, the report made
clear.
The study was prepared by
Jerome P. Pickard as back
ground data for the boards
economic development commit
tee. Mr.. Pickard is research
director for the committee.
Wide Gap in High, Low
The Importance of controlled
flow was UNDERSIGNED by the
fact that. while the average
annual water volume has been
2,640 billion gallons over the
last q years. the flows of in
dividual years range from as
low as 49 per cent of the aver
age to 1873 per cent of the
average.
More limited periods show
even greater flow and high flow
extremes. according to the re-
port. For example, the lowest
flow of record, August Is, 1880,
was only Z per cent of the aver
age annual 2,640 billion gallon
figure. The heaviest flow, re-
corded March 10, 1896. was 43
times the average yearly figure,
According to figures supplied
Mr.. Pickard by the Army Engi-
neer Corps, storage of about
900 billion gallons of water in
artificial reservoirs would guar
antee a flow equivalent tC
about go per cent of the total
average annual river volume.
This proportion of water
storage would assure an indus
trial water supply Is times
greater than the amount now
used.
Equalize Variations
Thus, Mr.. Pickard concluded
available data indicates there
is an ample supply of water ir
the Potomac River provided
some storage is supplied tc
equalize the seasonal and an
nual variations of flow"
The researcher noted that the
Potomac is one of Metropolitan
Washington's great assets fol
future development. He added
that, with proper flow controls
the projected in duStrial
growth of the area would not
interfere with the water re-
sources and supply of the Po-
tomac River BASIN"
Mr.. Pickard pointed out that
the 2,131 manufacturing plants
of all sizes and types in the
Potomac watershed represented
only IA of l per cent of the
Nations total in 1854. He noted
incidentally that 935 of the val
ley's industries reported they
were using water in their pro-
lcessing and that rs of these
could be classified as large
water users-20 million gallons
or more per year each.

will come from August 20 to
September 4. BY the end of
September, it'll all be over.
Air-conditioning does help,
but only after the sufferer gets
used to it. Hay fever victims
are sensitive to temperature
changes" DR.. Kailin says. Co
ing into a cool room may make
them more uncomfortable than
ever for an hour or so before
they start receiving the bene-
fits"
Each day from now until the
end of the season. DR.. Kailin
will issue the official pollen
count for the District. The Star
will start publishing this figure
tomorrow.

in this field, her count will give

RICHMOND, Va, - Ca
tholic journalists m u t
make it clear when they
express their opinions that
they are not speaking as
the official voice of the
Church a bishop who is an
editor said here.
Auxiliary Bishop Phillip
M. Hannah of Washington,
editor-in-chief of the Catholic
Standard, Washington archdio-
cese weekly, spoke to news
paper and magazine editors
during a session of the 48th
annual convention of the Cath
olic Press Association on the
topic: "How can We Avoid I'm
plicating the Church in Our
Handling of Temporal Issues?"
Another speaker at the ses-
sion was Msgr. Francis J. Lally,
editor of the Pilot, Boston arch
diocese weekly, who discussed
the topic us Interpreting Tenn
poral Issues Our Duty"
Mssr. LaIIy declared his
opinion that II is the fvne-
fion Of The Catholic press ITO

Cautions Journalists
In Handling Stories

one TO The other, TO provide .
kind Of leadership which
faithful Christians will be en-
covrssed TO follow"
Bishop Hannah began with
the observation that "the ma
gisterium,' the teaching author
ity of the Church, resides not
in the office of the newspaper,
but in the Ordinary of the do
cese."
HE alone" said the
Bishop, has the right TO
reach Catholic doctrine,
whether II be . defined doc
frine, or . doctrine that is
commonly held but not yet
soIemnIy defined. He has the
right TO teach that doctrine
and It's application.
Therefore, in our handling
of temporal issues, we cannot
assume the authority of the
Ordinary. We cannot slant or
edit the news on temporal is
sues so that we are actually
expressing a theological opin-
ion, unless the Ordinary has
permitted it."
But Bishop Hannah went or
to say that actually the field
of revealed and defined doc.
ltrine is small and restricted
compared to the field in which
discussion and speculation il
permitted"
II is in this field Of discus
sion, The prelate continued,
that "a journalist should be
very careful TO inform his
readers that the opinion ex-
pressed in his opinion, not
the official opinion Of the
Church."
"In many issues, there are
differing Catholic views, not &
single Catholic view. The Ordi
nary may state the Catholic
view; the editor may state "a
Catholic view, if he is per
mitted. In many temporal is
sues, there are several Catholic
views and the honest Catholic
editor will be quick to admi
this truth" he said.
Bishop Hannah also said tina
eff the writer is expressing ar
opinion, he should be perfectly
willing to have it challenged
humility is the mark of .
Christian, journalist or non
journalist"
The prelate urged the as
sembled editors to avoid 9Th,
type of 'hard-swinging' policy
that shows more courage thar
sense"

to reach as well as TO report"
he said. "The teacher must be
more careful Of the truth
than Of his style; and If care
fvI distinctions destroy what
he considers his style, then
fhs style must Co."
The Bishop also said that
"there are times when silence,
even in the midst of bitter con-
troversy, may be the best pol
icy"
"The Ordinary has not only
the right, but the duty, to i'm
pose a silence on controversies,
if he feels that the best inter-
ests of the diocese so dictate"
he said.
But he added THAT This does
not mean "ths death knell Of
Catholic journalism" He
pointed out that during the
Al Smith presidential cam
paign, Catholic journals and
clergy in general maintained
"a very disnified and at times
heroic silence" and that this
benefited the Church.
"In retrospect, almost every
commentator who mentions that
campaign notes the f~orbearance
of the Catholics, which is the
crushing answer to the charge
that they are overweening and
selfish conspirators against the
public good" he said.
In conclusion, Bishop Hannah
said that 'it must always be
remembered that the law Of
charity extends beyond every
field Of legitimate discussion,
and especially in the field OF
temporal issues"
"Our handling of temporal
issues" the Bishop said, must
not only not involve the Church
in an effectively wrong judg-
ment: it must not involve the
Church in an Incorporate and
uncharitable defense of a cor.
rect position.
1--WE are bound to evince
Christian principles not only in
the matter, but in the manner
of our writing. We are dedi.
Gated in our writing of every
line to furthering the cause of
Christ. We cannot win a Chris.
tan cause with un-C Christian
means. The cause of Christ
must be won in the spirit Of
Christ"
Msgr. Lally suggested three
ways in which Catholic editors
can assist the Church in its re
lations with the civil and social
order.
The first, he said, is to "exer.
else a prophetic function on the
world" He added that "by this
we should understand that the

Church stands in judgment
upon the times, that it recalls
men to their responsibilities be-
fore God, and that it does this
without fear or compromise"
The second way, he con-
finued. "is as q witness for
Christ among men," He said
that "it is not enough TO call
the world back from the brink
Of disaster. not enough TO call
down the divine wrath upon
the malefaefor, but we must
give witness to The light, be
yeast for ths leavsning, give
SAVIOR to The SALT"
He called this ga dread re.
sponsibility" and said that "we
would properly shrink from the
task but that the teaching
Church supports our weakness
and channels our strength"

.In this area, it is plain that

he stated.

Enthusiastically, Enthusiastically
human thing about human beings
is not their muscles, it is their
mind, their spirit. A strong man
is not strong in the full human
sense of that word unless his
strength shows somewhere besides
his bones and muscles.
Lone Wolf
Another wrong notion OF what
a strong man" is, can be seen in
many popular plots in novels and TV
dramas. There the strong man is
often the man who is a sort of
lone wolf. playing a lone hand. a
man without partners or intimate
friends. Now there is some truth
in the idea that ''he travels the
fastest who travels alone" but
strength is not in Stand-offishness,
it is not in being law to oneself.
