A Route 24O Solution

The most sensible proposal which
emerged from the Commissioners Route
240 hearings was fortnight suggestion
by the American Institute of Architects.
Actually, the Ala plan is not new: 1t is
a return to the original concept for
bringing Route 240 traffic into the
Capital.
1t calls for using a route along the
Potomac within the District. At the
Maryland line. however. instead of an
expensive and unnecessary swing north
ward to River road, the route would
continue to follow the Potomac-along
the right-of-way acquired for the four
lane George Washington Memorial
parkway. Near Cabin John 1t would
connect with the west leg Of 24O.
The sketch below illustrates the
route discussed here.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-01-13

zealousiy prudent in every cent they
spend.
(T) The Ala proposal requires only
slight revisions In plans the Park Service
already has for the George Washington
Memorial parkway. This parkway is to
be built anyway. And the use Of this
parkway as connection with Route
240 will cause no more damage to park
values than will already occur. In
either case, a four-lane, divided 9oad
would be built. The only real difference
is that trucks. which certainly would be
limited in number, would travel the
road for the short distance between the
District line and Cabin John. Between
Cabin John and Great Falls, park Of
ficials could ban trucks as they plan
to do.
Park officials will oppose this pro-
poSal. 1t would require the approval
Of Congress. So will anything else that
Is decided. As the Ala noted, however.
1t is becoming increasingly ridiculous
that the pet ideas of divergent agencies
can block "a sensible plan that will serve
the best interests Of the community"

Pesticide Hazards

The growing hazards from the wide
spread use Of pesticides to control in
sects and plant diseases are cause for
concern to both public health authori-
ties and wildlife conservationists. The
development of new chemicals for use
In mass-spraying operations has aggra-
waited the problem, since many Of the
new products have never been tested
adequately to determine their effects on
human and animal life. In view Of the
potential seriousness Of the problem,
the Conservation Foundation and the
New York Geological Society have issued
a report warning Of the dangers and
urging Nationwide study Of pesticides
and their possible perils.
The conservation report comes as
nine Southern States are engaged in an
intensive war on fire ants, an especially
destructive pest in agricultural regions.
A new insecticide, said to be far more
potent than DOT, is being used against
the ants And the report follows pro-
tests In court suits against the mass
spraying Of DOT in New York and New
Jersey last year in Federal-State at
tack on a gypsy moth invasion. DR..
John L. George, associate curator OF
mammals of the New York Geological
Society, was quoted in the report as
warning that many Of the spray ingre-
dents are toxic to humans as well as
insects and fungi against which they
are directed. Science cannot predict
all Of the effects which some of the
chemicals may produce.
What is urgently needed, the report
said, is national research undertaking
On a broad scale. The cost Of an ade-
quate program Of this sort would be
more than private organizations could
bear. Unless there is some such study,
however, the threat to public health and
to wildlife is likely to continue to an
ever larger degree. 0

Another Appomottox?

There Is precious little in Governor
Almonds inaugural address to encour-
age the hope that Virginia, under his
administration. will adopt a new and
more rational approach to the school
integration problem. Governor Almond
blew the bugleS and beat the drums. But
when he had finished, the net effect Of
1t all was to encourage the impression
that another Appomattox is in the ofing.
There were few lines which raised
some faint hope. The new Governor
said Virginia must maintain a position
Of "fiexibility." He said the State should
not rely on any "Maginot Line" He said
he was mot dissatisfied" Che did not say
he was satisfied) with the statutory ode
fenses"-the so-called Stanley package
erected by the Legislature IS months
ago. And, finally. he said he would not
hesitate to convene the Legislature in
special session whenever the public in
tereSt may so require"
Against this one must set of the
rhetoric. Governor Almond said the
"agonizing study" he has given the
school problem has persuaded him that
so far as State system goes, "integra-
ton anywhere means destruction every
where" He said he could not conceive
Of such thing as a. little integration"
any more than he could conceive Of
small avalanche" He has become con-
WINGED, he said, that there is mot one"
political subdivision in Virginia. where
racially mixed schools can be conducted
without such serious and irretrievable
loss and damage to the cause Of public
education as to render the attempt, even
on an experimental basis. all but futile"
We had hoped and believed that
Lindsay Almond, having fought the in
tegration battle through the courts, and
having come, as he said himself, to the
end Of his legal rope, would offer some
thing more than this. For he knows
he must know-that there Is going to
be some indignation in Virginia, and
also that this. when 1t comes, viii not
mean the destruction Of the public school
system everywhere.
1t may come first In Arlington, where
Federal judge has ordered that seven
Negroes be admitted to white schools.
This will be delayed for few months
perhaps until next September. But 1t
Is surely coming. and what will Governor
Almond do then? Will he cut of State
aid to Arlington II the law providing for
this Is re-enacted? Possibly so. But
there will still be some indignation in
Virginia, for Arlington Is not going to
shut down its schools. Will the Governor
then take the position that public edu-
cation has been destroyed everywhere in
the State? OF course, he will not, for
he knows better
We still venture the hope that Lind
say Almond will avail himself Of the
escape matches in his inaugural address,
even though they were small and few
in number. For he is knowledgeable
man, and we do not think he really wants
to lead Virginia down the road Of futile
resistance, knowing that 1t can lead only
to forced surrender.

Fairfax Annexation

AS a resident Of the Town
Of Fairfax. / would like TO
express some opinions con-
corning the towns annexa-
ton case currently before the
courts.
The town officials have
painted q bright picture Of
the immediate benefits to be
expected by the residents Of
the annexed areas. ! recall
no mention by town officials
Of the long-range effects Of
annexation on the orderly
development Of Fairfax
County and the Northern
Virginia area. This should be
thought through carefully by
all town residents and county
residents as well.
In view Of all the giant
steps that the town has been
undertaking. would recon-
mend that the town look to
the county government for
some guidance in keeping
town residents better in
formed. Meeting dates and
times Of the county board are
generally announced in the
area newspapers frequently
with agenda. Whenever ordi-
nances or budgets are to be
considered. general public
hearings (as required by law
are held in order to ascertain
the views Of those affected by
the decision. These hearings
are well advertised and
usually well attended. This
corresponds to our ideals OF
democratic government.
II appears TO many town
residents that vital decisions
made by the town council re-
ceive a great deal OF public
notice only after they have
been made. I am certain that
the large number Of new
residents are unaware that
each town council meeting is
open TO citizens for the ex-
preston OF their views. I
would like TO urge the town
council TO encourage more
town residents to take an
active interest In the proceed
ings Of their government.
