G. o. P. Pep Talks

The Republican orators gave 1t the

came into our living room was not the
sort Of thing that sets the prairies afire.
On the contrary. 1t was dull and unin-

when 1t was necessary TO turn ones
mind resolutely away from the impress
sion that these were politically con-
demned men eating last meal.

or as a prophet Of gloon and DOOM"
or what have you. Maybe II is bit
early to be writing OF the Republican
prospects next November. At any rate.
10000 Of the party faithful turned out
for the dinners across the country, pay
ing from SIS to 500 a plate for the
privilege. We have seen no figure on
the exact total Of the take, but 1t
must have amounted to tidy sum. So
the Republicans. while they may not be
able to snare the wary voter In winning
numbers, certainly should have the
wherewithal TO get in there and try.
Nor is the wherewithal an item to be
sneered at in'any political campaign.

Time to Smile Again

Miss Frances Knight, Director OF
the Passport once, obviously is lady
who believes that vanity has a proper
place In life. Probably ever since pass
ports were invented travellers have been
vocally unhappy and defensively apollo
getic about those attached photographs.
Invariably, the fault was with the pic
ture-taking man and his techniques.
He made all travellers look like escapes
from a chain gang. Miss Knight,
wisely indulgent, has decided TO humor
the customers. She has appealed TO
photographers ito help applicants relax
and put their best face forward" And
she has announced that the United
States Government will blaze a bright
new trail by being the first to accept
passport photographs in color. Ger

case Of Dallas williams. He Is q free
man today-despite his shocking GRIM
inal record. despite the fact that he
pleaded insanity as a defense at his
latest trial, despite the warning from
the doctor that, II released. he may 20
out and kill someone. Is this record,
and prospect. which suggests that
justice is functioning nationally and
irhpartially In the District Of Columbia?
We do not think so. For justice Is sup
posed not only to safeguard the interests
Of an accused person, which has been
amply done In this case. Justice Is also
supposed TO concern itself with protect
Ing the public interest And that has
not been done in this case.
1t is not our purpose to attempt to
fix responsibility on any individual for
the release Of this dangerous man. Per-
haps 1t should be pointed out that
Williams. with time of for good be-
havior. would have been released this
coming September II he had been sent
to jail to serve his sentence after his
first conviction In this case. And he
would be just as dangerous In September
as he Is now.
The essential point, we think, Is
that there Is something seriously wrong
with system of Justice" which frees
a man with Williams incredible record.
This Is an oftense against society. II
an individual were to commit such an
offense he surely would be entitled to
plead, under the Durham insanity rule,
that he was suffering from mental
disease or defect. or what the PSYCHE
artists now describe as a "sociopathic"
personality. Justice, as justice has
functioned in this case, must be suffer-
ing from some equally serious disability.
There may be those who will think that
this is carrying 1igurative analogy a
bit too far. II so. we suggest that they
60 back and reread the third paragraph
of this editorial and then ask them
selves: BY what rational process Of JUS
tice has Dallas Williams been turned
loose?

Reports" he continues,
rarely idenify clearly the
conditions under which the
so-called tar was produced.
Different results reported are
probably due to the fact that

doubtful whether the tobacco
condensates actually have
enough resemblance to the
smoke pulled by humans to
bear significantly on the
problem at all. Organic mat

being what they are. the mere
fact that tobacco served as
the original source Of q
complex mixture resembling
tar does not by any means
assure that tests with such a
product can shed any light on
the effects Of tobacco use by
humans.

For Want of q Plan

Arlington County at last has de-
veloped a master plan-although still
a tentative one-to guide 1t along orderly
paths in its future growth. How the
county has managed to get by so long
without such plan Is hard to under
stand. For, without one. mistakes in
routing roads. in controlling land use
and in other fields Of community devel-
opment were inevitable. 1t is too late,
perhaps. to correct some of the early
errors, but 1t Is not too'late to make sure
that future growth is properly regulated.
Previous attempts to prepare mas
ter plan were defeated by factional
strife that finally ended in dissolution
Of the county'S original Planning Com
mission. In 1856. however. the commits
sion was revived. with bipartisan sup
port. One Of the major detectives Of
the new body was the preparation of
plan which could serve as a pattern for
expansion for years to come. Much Of
the work was done by Chief Palmer
Robert N. Anderson, jr., and a staff Of
conSultants. The plan must be approved
by the County Board before 1t becomes
official.
Since the program Of development
recommended by the planners involves
new radial highways, rezoning OF some
areas-such as Rosslyn-and other
changes affecting property owners. some
Of the proposals are obviously contro-
versial But the issues can be discussed
in public hearings and notifications
effected in the public interest. At least,
a basis for intelligent discussion Of the
county's plans for the future has been
provided. Out Of the discussions should
come firm blueprint for the building
Of greater, more prosperous Arlington.
