Maryland and Virginia agree with
the billboard industry on one thing, at
least - that protection of highways
against billboard dissertation is basil
cally State responsibility. And it is
highly encouraging to note that bill
board-control legislation is making good
Roadway in the General Assemblies of
both States, despite strong resistance
from the outdoor advertising lobby. (The
induStry'S spokesman have opposed Fed
eral control, too, on the ground that this
was a matter for State action)
The Maryland House is nearing
what appears to be final approval of a
bill to restrict commercial signs on State
expresswayS and interstate highways.
Passage of such bill is essential if
Maryland'S limited-accesS roads and the
new Federal-aid interstate routes are
to be protected from the sort of roadside
deterioration that has disgraced U. S.
Route and some other important high
ways.
Action at the State level now while
the Maryland and Virginia Legislatures
are in session would serve, too, to spur
Federal incentive" legislation, under
which States which safeguard their
highways would receive bonus in Fed
eral aid to interstate highways. Parallel
Federal and State billboard-control
legislation would forestall plans of the
billboard interests to exploit to the limit
the thousands of miles of new highways
which, but for signboard curtain,
would bring new ViStaS 0f natural
scenery to the Nations motorists.

Argentina Chooses

In its first free election in 80 years,
Argentina has chosen President gener-
ally described as a left-wing intellectual.
DR.. Arthur Frondizi, the winning candi-
date, is lawyer by profession and re-
spected student of economic and social
problems of his country. When Juan
Peron was the all-powerful dictator in
Argentina, DR.. Frondizi was a political
opponent-jailed at least once for his
opposition. In the past, he has been as
ISOLATED with DR.. Ricardo Balbin, whom
he defeated overwhelmingly in this cleo
ton, as the two represented the left and
right wings, respectively, of the Radical
Party. In the campaign just concluded,
DR.. Frondizi received Endorsement from
the far right Peronistas and the far left
Communists, but he did not identify
himself with either His victory state
ment" emphasized that he has mo COM
mitmentS to anyone"-an assertion
which has been received with some
SkepticiSm in Argentina-and that he
will govern solely for the benefit of 20
million Argentines.
DR.. Frondizi will take over from the
provisional military government of Pres
ident Pedro Aramburu. He also seems
assured OF majority in the new legisla-
ture which will convene on March 81. It is
difficult to forecast the course of the new
government. 1t is clear, however, that DR..
Frondizi enjoys broad popular support.
1t is to be hoped he will demonstrate
that he is not dangerously indebted to
extremists on either side and that he will
indeed direct government that is good
for his country and for the community
of nations in which political freedom and
liberty are essential.

GPO 'StepchiIdren'

Once again the Govern

Government workers except
GPO workers we're excused

that those not reporting
would be excused. Their re-
ward was being worked right
up to the bell. although other
agencies excused their en-

waited for more than so min

Stretching the Reminder

President Eisenhower has described
the statutory debt limitation as "a
proper reminder" Of the necessity for
economical operation of the Govern
ment. At the same time, it is obvious
that placing fixed ceiling on the debt
involves certain hazards at time when
essential expenditures are running high
and revenues for one reason or another
are not coming in at a pace to meet
current obligations. This has been the
problem facing the Treasury Depart
ment in recent months as the debt total
has lowered close to the $275 billion
limitation while tax collections have
followed the traditional pattern-due
largely to the schedule for corporation
payments-of sloughing off during the
winter.
One result, as Treasury Secretary
Anderson informed Congress, has been
that cash balances "have been running
distreSsingly low" Another result, with
the small margin available between out
standing debt and statutory limitation,
is that the Treasury has been unable to
sell long-term issues in advance of the
@NSA@SA@ANAAO AnbCo All OUllRd-
tionS-a practice that means temporary
overlapping" of debt but which permits
financing at more advantageous terms.
With budget deficit now estimated
for fiscal 1858, with an expanded de-
tense program certain to push expendi-
lures higher in the coming year, and
with the decline in business activity
creating doubts about revenue estimates
OF the near future, there has been
acceptance by Congress of the need to
raise the debt ceiling. The legislation
enacted has set new limit at $3.50
billion, effective until June 80, 1859.
although Senator Byrd Of Virginia and
others made strong appeal to hold the
figure to $278 billion. BY Mr.. Anderson's
estimates, the peak of the public indebt-
edness will be reached in mid December
OF this year and will then taper of to
level on June 80, 1859, at which the
present $275-billion limit may again be
adequate. In any case, there will be OPP
portunity at that time for another con-
gressional review of its proper re-
minder" on behalf Of economy.

Weapons Against Crime

1t is something of a surprise to
read that Governor Averell Hartman
has vetoed two bills which would have
outlawed the unauthorized "bugging" Of
private conversations. On the record
Of his overall performance, one might
have expected to find the New Yorker
on the other side Of this issue.
Governor Hartman had an excel
lent reason, however, for vetoing the
bills. Modern science" he said, "has
supplied the criminal and the racketeer
with many up-to-date weapons in his
war against society. We, too, have
modern weapons. We should use them"
The latest newSworthy bugging cpl
sode occurred when New York Transit
Authority police planted a microphone
in the headquarters of the Motormen's
Benevolent Association in connection
with the recent subway strike. This
caused an uproar, and the antibugging
bills were designed to prevent incidents
of this sort.
1t was not politically easy thing
for the Governor to veto them. He had
the support, however, of the Bar Asso-
citation of the City of New York, the
State Association of Police Chiefs and
the New York Police Commissioner. The
Governor said he would have approved
the bills had they contained "hot
pursuit" clause-a clause permitting the
use of microphones for a brief period
Of time prior to obtaining court authori-
cation. Without such clause, he felt
the proposed laws would unduly and UNI
necessarily handicap police investiga-
ton.

cent evidence that this may
produce in the atmosphere
changes reaching down as low
as 40 kilometers. But these
changes would be only q small
fraction Of the total radiation.
Efforts to find connections
between solar activity and

based mainly on statistical

have been obtained that are
highly suggestive. but none

duced conclusive evidence

One Of the great difficulties
hampering research in this

the lack of phenomena on

bers. which follow a regular

But with the progress Of
research in solar physics,

none is sufficiently convinc-
ing that this can be taken
for granted. Even If such a

it need not necessarily indi-
cate solar influences. It is,
at least, not impossible that
the lower atmosphere exerts
an effect on that part Of the

the example which the New York Gov

'Sepnrnte but EquolP

I read a good example OF
educational policy as al
legedly practiced in my ma
tive Virginia and other
States. when I received the
weekly paper from the place
of my birth in Page County.
It told of a plan to erect in
Warren County, over 25 miles
from Luray. for Negro edu-
cation. a school to cost $4OO.-
900. At present about 40
Negro children are trans
ported some distance to an
other county for their equal"
opportunity. The plan now
is for the Negro students
eventually to attend the new
Negro school in Warren
County. when completed.
AS a Virginian, who has
broken with those who would
continue the inhuman and
un-American practice Of ra-
cial discrimination and seq
regation, and rejects the
, second-claSS status Of any
citizen because Of his color,
I hope that when the War
rem County school is COM
pleted. Page County Negro
students will refuse to at
tend. Let it remain vacant. TO
at least that extent, standing
as a sorry monument to pref
udice, superstition and ig-

Senator Byrd Will Run

There is no reason to doubt that
Senator Byrd'S statement of the reasons
which prompted him to change his mind
and seek reelection is accurate as far as
1t goes. But it may not tell the whole
story.
Certainly the reaction to his Feb
ruary IL statement has been unprece-
denied in Virginia. It was a reaction
which subjected the Senator to great
pressure to run again, and it must have
played significant part in Mrs. ByrdS
Willingness to concur. It is equally
certain that there is nothing synthetic
about the cheers with which the organi-
cation leaders in Virginia have received
the news. They want the Senator-and
they need him.
They need him because a Byrd can
didacy is one way-perhaps the only way
of avoiding bitter primary struggle
Tor the right of succession between
former Governors Battle and Tuck. With
Senator Byrd in the field they, of course,
will step aside. But if the Senator had
stuck by his original decision the Tuck
and Battle forces would have been at
each other hammer and tongs in the
July primary-and the consequences of
such clash could have been disastrous
to the organization.
Senator Byrd, of course, did not
mention this in his statement. Never
theleSS, we believe it was an influential
factor in his reconsideration.
There may be those who will believe
that the whole thing was planned this
way from the beginning But we do not
think so, and for the following reasons.
Very few people knew of the Senator's
plan to announce his retirement. One of
those who probably did know was
Speaker Blackburn Moore of the House
Of Delegates "Blackie" Moore halls from
Berryville, the Byrd home town, and he
is one of the Senator's oldest and closest
friends. Yet when the February IL an
nouncement was made public Speaker
Moore FASTENED to introduce in the
House resolution of appreciation for
Senator Byrd's past services. There was
nothing in it which urged him to recon-
slider, and the Speaker rejected requests
that he hold up his resolution so that it
could be revised to urge the Senator to
change his mind. This amendment was
not incorporated until the resolution
reached the Senate.
All of this leads us to believe that
Speaker Moore was acting pursuant to
the expressed wishes of Senator Byrd
that the latter wanted to burn his bridges
and choke off appeals to reconsider.
1t is our guess that the Senator
failed to anticipate the strength of the
demand that he reconsider and that he
also failed to correctly appraise the diff
Guilty of choosing a successor and the
threat which Tuck-Battle clash would
pose for the organization. When these
considerations, especially the latter, be-
came clear there was but one way to deal
effectively with them. That was for
Senator Byrd to change his mind, and
that is what he has done.

personnel and insure an ade-
quate supply Of new talent

lenge, take certain steps to

/. Follow the basic tenets
and registration procedures
established by the National
Society of Professional En-
gineers before granting an
engineer title to a Govern
ment employe.
2. Anyone classified as an
engineer who has not had q
four-year professional en-
cheering course leading to a
BIS. degree in an accredited
college or university, or who
has not had equivalent expe-
rience which truly demon
Strates that he has a thor
ough knowledge of the fun
damental. physical. and
mathematical sciences under
lying professional engineer
ing comparable to that which
would have been acquired
through the successful COM
pletion Of a four-year. en-
cheering curriculum, should
be reclassified and trans
ferred to another function.
3. Engineers currently &C.
cupying positions demanding
no application or interpreta-
ton Of pure science should be
reassigned to areas where
their skills can be utilized,
not wasted; vacated jobs
should then be taken out Of
the engineering series and
filled by other personnel.
4. Establish a separate
classification schedule for
scientific and professional
personnel.

Changes on the sun may
affect profoundly the worlds

proved.
This is the substance Of @
statement by the American

ming up the present state of
knowledge on this highly con-
troversial subject. which is a
major International Geophys-
ical Year topic.
The official statement fol-
lowed a conference at the
High Altitude Observatory of
the University Of Colorado.
There are. the statement
points out, two distinct kinds
Of radiation-electrom
and corpuscular-which reach
the earth from the sun. The
former constitutes light and
heat while the latter is re-
sponsible for such phenomena
as the aurora. There is no
certain evidence, it is stressed.
that there are actual varia-
lions in the first. They have
been claimed. but measure
ments are extremely difncult
and results uncertain. There
unquestionably are consider
able variations in corpuscular
radiation. but no certain con-
nection between them and
observable weather.
Variations Analysed
The changes in electromag-
netic tradition, it is stressed,
at best are very small COM
pared with the total output Of
the sunless than a hundred
thousandth at any one time.
Variations in corpuscular ra-
diation, however. at times
may be very much larger, but
of extremely short duration
in most cases.
Solar radiationS and their
variations produce striking
changes in the rarefied high
layers Of tho atmosphere"
says the statement. The cleo
tro-magnetic radiation dis
sociates and ionizes air mole
cules. The effects are quite

energy fluxes involved are
small. because the density Of
the atmosphere at these levels
is q millionth or less Of the
sea level density. But it is
impossible to see. at the pres
ent state Of our knowledge,
how varied electromagnetic
radiation can affect the
denser. lower atmospheres.

to former members of the
Metropolitan Police Boys
Clubs, Division !.
Our organization is, of
course, vitality interested in
whether the Metropolitan po-
licemen will be permitted to
solicit contributions for the
future support Of the Police
Boys Clubs.
1t would be a loss to the
city, indeed, if these clubs
were abolished, and this or
ganization speaks from ex-
perience. We know how much
these clubs have done, and
are continuing to do, for the
youth Of our city. The sys-
TEN of enhancing boy-police-
man friendship is of inesti-
mable value and goes a long
way toward holding the good
citizen of tomorrow. This
system. which is beneficial to
all, must continue.
The Benefactors of Youth
Society is in complete accord
with the policies set forth by
the Board of Directors of the
Metropolitan Police Boys
Clubs. We unanimously rec
ommend that the present
method of soliciting contri-
buttons for the Metropolitan
Police Boys Clubs continue.
and thereby give the boy of
today a better opportunity
to become the good citizen
Of tomorrow. We know be-
