Saving Fairfax PorkIonds

The movement in Fairfax County

encroachments has been given new
impetus by the report of the National

of the county, has submitted COM

Grafton of park proposals for so many

In addition to recommending devel-

take advantage of Federal aid to parks
offered through the Capper- Cramton
Act. When this act vas passed many

Bourguibo's Olive Branch

President Habib Bourguiba, in his
speech marking the second anniver-
sary of Tunisia's independence, has re-
affirmed his o-Western policy in such
strong and unequivocal terms that there
is good reason to hope for an early ami
cable settlement of the bitter contro-
verSy between his country and France.
This assumes, Of course. that Paris will
respond in spirit that will make pos
sible mutually satisfactory compromise
along the lines suggested by the Anglo
American good Offices mission.
In any event, speaking for both,
himself and his government, Mr.. Bour-
guiba has made clear that lTunisia has
no intention Of turning its back on the
free world. On the contrary, as If to
dispel all misgivingS caused by his re-
cent remarks intimating that he would
desert the Atlantic community unless
the United States and Britain fully
supported his demands against France,
he has emphatically declared that his
country will continue to reject neutral
ism" or policies of a sort that could
benefit international communism. As he
has put 1t, I'VE are with the West. We
tell our Arab and oriental brothers: We
have chosen the West, and we will stay
with the West to close the gates of
hell"
At the same time, moreover, Mr..
Bourguiba has made a special point of
praising the work of the Anglo-Ameri-
can .conciliators, and he has spoken
OF France in language moderate and
friendly enough to leave little room for
doubt that Tunis is ready and eager to
re-eStablish good relations with Paris in
an agreement that would be fair to both
sides. Thus. If words mean anything,
the crisis caused by last months shock
ing French air attack on the village of
Sakiet Sidi Youssef has been abated to
point where the prospect seems bright
for q reasonable and Just settlement
redressing Tunisia's grievances and pro-
tecting Frances legitimate interests in
Algeria and North Africa as whole. 4
Credit for this must 60 in large part
to the Anglo-American conciliators, who
appear to have done a superb Job in
bringing reason and good will to bear
upon the issues involved. Credit, too. is
owing to Mr.. Bourguiba himself, whose
temperate role in an exceedingly difi-
cult situation merits the admiration Of
the free world. Certainly, If Premier
Gafllard's government in Paris responds
In kind, as it seems anxious to do, the
Atlantic community. can be confident
that the Tunisians and the French will
settle their. differences in way that
should hamper the Kremlin's subversive
activities in North Africa.

Prize Prose

Senator Watkins, Utah Republican,
has offered prize to anyone who can
translate 2l2-word sentence in the
Governments income tax instructions.
The Senator did indeed pick out a
beauty, although in his expressed adj
miration for simple and lucid prose one
wonders why he should expect to find
any such understandable, or enjoyable,
reading in tax manual. Some Of the
much shorter sentences, including "pay
this amount" have been troubling highly
literate taxpayers for long time.
However, the Senator should have a
good response to his challenging compe-
tition. And Just as an unofficial entry,
he might consider that, whatever the
long sentence says, what 1t means is
about this: You had better interpret this
provision correctly, or at least not be
caught wrong.

of the compact. Meanwhile, Maryland
has received millions of dollars from the
Federal Government to help preserve

Under recent legislation. Virginia has
become eligible to participate in this ex-
ceptional conservation program. Fairfax
County still has thousands of acres of

saved for future generations by prompt

further ignored.

THE POLITICAL MIL
Labor Aiming for Victory in 1860
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Organized labor-its leaders
in particular is bent on
electing a labor government
in Washington in 1860. AS a
preliminary. it is going all
out to elect candidates whom
it considers favorable to its
demands in the congressional
and gubernatorial contests Of
1858. The labor leaders be-
lieve the present business re-
cession and large unemploy-
ment is playing into their
hands-and it may. Also,
the instrument which. these
leaders plan to use to get a
labor government - as they
have used it in the past-is
the Democratic Party. Not
all Democrats relish this idea,
particularly those south of
Mason and Dixon's line. There
are others. too, such as Dem
ocratic Senator Frank j.
Lausche of Ohio, who was
five times elected Governor
Of his State, despite his inde-
pendence in his relations
with organized labor.
The leaders of labor will
look. beyond a doubt, to So
called liberal Democrats of
the North and West for a
presidential candidate in 1860,
and they probably will get
one, although Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee - the
most prominent liberal from
his section Of the country
may make another bid for
the nomination.
Obviously, one of the liberal
candidates who first springs
to mind for the Democratic
presidential nomination is
Gov. G. Mennen Williams,
scion of a wealthy family,
who has five times been
elected Governor of Michi-
gan and is expected to win a
sixth term next November
Gov. Williams has had the
solid backing of the Go
JAW, headed by Walter Reu-
ther. in his victories in the
past.
Butt Of GridirOn Jibe
Many a serious word is
spoken in jest. For example,
in a skit dealing with poten-
tial Democratic presidential
nominees, the Gridifon Club
at its annual dinner here last
week, had a pseudo Reuther
sing the following advice to
another character represent
ing Gov. Williams:
Button up your union suit
On a stumping spree.
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me.
If by chance the Democrats
Vote you nominee
Make sure they understand
I have a share in thee. +"
Gov. Williams, in the same
skit, was dubbed "the poor
mans Hartman" a reference
to the fact that millionaire
Democratic Gov. Averell Har-
riman Of New York is an
other potential candidate for
the 1860 presidential nomi-
nation. Mr.. Hartman is CIV
ing signs, too. of playing UP
to the labor leaders, whom he
will need in his coming try
for a second term as New

Heodwoy Against Cancer

Cancer Is no longer the uncon-
trollable mystery it used to be. Since the
mid-193Os, for example, the cure rates
for certain types of the disease have
risen from per cent to around 40 per
cent, and improved surgical techniques
have brought about great increase in
the effective treatment of some of the
worst malignancieS. Similarly, expert
mentation with chemical agents indi-
Gates that the day may be nearing when
this major killer will cease to be the
dread thing it now is.
These are but few Of the consid-
erationS that have led DR.. John r.
Heller, director of the National Cancer
Institute, to tell House Appropriations
subcommittee that the outlook in this
field is bright, with research programs
advancing with momentum that was
unknown only relatively short time
ago. AS a result, he and other experts
feel confident that major breakthroughs
against the disease may be achieved in
the not too distant future. One such
breakthrough may make it possible to
develop antibodi, pr vaccines against
leukemia and othGr forms of malignancy.
Another may take us into an age in
which chemotherapy and new family
OF drugs will be powerful curative
weapons.
This testimony does not mean, of
course, that the complete conquest of
cancer is just around the corner, But DR..
Heller has left little room for doubt that
there Is good reason to expect that the
war against the Scourge will bring VIC
tories of first Importance in the years
Immediately ahead. Here again we have
striking example Of how science wen
as it constantly perfects the techi.4ues

same time to make significant progress

Tells DR.. Teller

The Star Of March 10 car
ried an interesting Associated
Press dispatch from Cleveland
on two speeches DR.. Edward
Teller apparently made on
the A-bomb. Speaking as a
scientist. DR.. Teller prescribed
certain antidotes for nuclear
attacks. Speaking as q lay
man, directly to the press,
DR.. Teller made the astound-
ing statement that we should
have notified the japanese
in advance Of our Hiroshima
and Nagasaki bombings.
= DR.. Teller's naivete seems
to be In keeping with the es-
tablished philosophy of the
professional scientist: Let
the United States make all
the concessions. Until these
unusually gifted men face
up to the grim realism which
walks both sides of the street.
they are best kept at their
laboratory tables and away
from the worlds political
councils.
DR.. Teller considers him
self a layman insofar as the
decision to drop the A-bomb
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
is concerned. Several mil
lion other laymen, like DR..
Teller and myself. might have
been spared many months Of
Inconvenience from 1941 to
1945 had the Germans given
the Poles warning in 1899
and had the Japanese told
us in advance Of their Pearl
Harbor plans in 1941.
i will buy the rest Of DR..
Teller's philosophy, sight I'M
seen. If he can wiring from the
Russians their drawingboard
