Jensen and ChrisIeybLead
In Turning on Old Buddies

Sis!er in Rubber
Game Tonight
BY BURTON HAWKINS
star star Writer

one-time buddies are maxi
ing their former companions
moan In the current Red sox-
Senator's series which winds Up
tonight at Grifnth Stadium.
Ex-senator Jackie Jensen has
batted In ls-runs this season. II
at the expense Of Washington
and nine as a personal punch
at Pedro Ramos. He has
cracked six homers and three
have been delivered against
Ramos.
1t was Jensen's grand-slam-
mer In the first inning which
started the Senators toward q
9-6 defeat last night before
.S,l95 fans. Later he smacked
across another run with one
Of his two singles.
Meanwhile Pete Runnels and
Lou Berberet, whose last homes
we're here. enjoyed the game.
Runnels contributed a triple,
double and single, while Ber-
beret slugged a triple.
Chrisley Hits No. 4
But ex-Boston players now
with Washington also were
giving their former chums a
nervous time. Neil Chrisley
pumped his fourth home run
in his last four games. while
Ken Aspromonte cracked a
two-run triple in the fourth
inning which enabled the Sem
ators to surge back from a 40
deficit and tie the score.
Ralph Lumenti, who idolized
the Red Sox in general and Ted
Williams in particular as a
youngster, will get a chance to
embarrass them tonight when
he takes the mound against
Dave Sisler.
Manager Cookie Lavagetto Is
hoping his 2l-year-old left
handler will display sharper
control than in three previous
outings. He dropped starts to
Baltimore and Cleveland when
he couldn't locate the plate,
but he hung around long
enough in his last effort to
notch his first major league
win against Detroit.
Never Say Die
The Senators are giving their
supporters something to cheer
about even when seemingly
hopelessly out of things. After
rebounding to lock the game at
"A against Riverboat Smith.
they entered the last of the
ninth trailing by five runs.
They brought it down to .
point where Jim Lemon could
have reknotted the score at 90.

ArIinqton's S Dilemma

Faced with mounting demands for
a variety Of public Improvements, Ar
lington County tomorrow will decide
whether to borrow nearly So million to
finance them or let things ride as they
are. Ordinarily this would seem to be
an easy choice, for community which
fails to keep up with its needs is a back
ward one. But Arlington, II 1t chooses
to issue more bonds, must pay more
taxes to retire them-and higher taxes
are extremely unpopular, especially now.
Arlington's voters, however, always
have shown their willingness to pay for
better services and facilities whenever
the need was shown. Right now Arling-
ton urgently needs new high school
(Yorktown), additional sanitary and
storm sewers, central library, enlarged
recreational facilities and other i'm
provementS. These will cost minimum
of $79 million, according to the careful
estimates Of county officials and engi-
neers. Under the circumstances, it may
be expected that Arlington will vote in
favor of the bond issue necessary to
assure these new public works.

Only the First Step

Recent passage of a Federal bill
board control law was only first step
toward protecting the new interstate
highway system from roadside deface-
ment. AS the National Roadside Com
mittee, leader in the Nationwide anti
billboard fight, has stressed in reviewing
provisions of the new law, the next move
and the most essential one-iS up to
the States. The degree of success in the
battle against billboard blight on the
new expreSsways will depend entirely on
the extent and the effectiveness Of State
cooperation in the Federal plan.
All the Federal law does is to offer
small highway-fund bonus to States
which take adequate measures to re-
strict advertising signs along the inter-
state highways Several States, like
Maryland and Virginia, recently passed
antibillboard legislation in anticipation
of enactment of the Federal law. Many
other States, however, have done little
or nothing to qualify for the extra Fed
ere! ~'cney.
To guide the States in taking "ade-
quate" action, the Department of Com
merce, under the law, must adopt
standards for permissible directional and

other signs. The Federal law establishes
a national policy against commercial
signs other than limited number de-
signed 10 inform motorists OF roadside
facilities. These signs can be erected
only within few miles OF interchanges.
The size and number Of such signs will
be fixed In the Federal standards.
Having lost It's fght TO prevent pas
sage OF Federal legislation, the billboard
interests undoubtedly will concentrate
their attention on State legislatures.
Yet one OF the chief arguments OF the
industry against Federal legislation was
that billboard control should be left to
the States, Meanwhile, 1t is reassuring
10 learn that the National Roadside
Committee and associated groups will
continue TO fight for a stronger Federal
law. Welcome though the present Fed
eral legislation is, II has weaknesses
such as the loophole leaving signs un-
restricted on portions Of the new high
way system that may follow old routes.

Promise in Colombia

Democracy has come into its own
again in Colombia. After a decade Of
recurrent violence and civil strife, cul-
minating in last years overthrow of the
Rojas Pinilla dictatorship, the people of
the countrywide have just overwhelm-
ingly elected Alberto Lleras Camargo to
serve as their President for the next
four years-can look forward with conf
dence to government stable and strong
enough to maintain individual and group
liberties.
The chief reason for this is that
Colombia, in keeping with a national
ten into its constitution a provision
under which the country'S two major
partieS-the Liberals and Conservatives
are Solemnly committed to bipartisan
government for the next 16 years. This
means that PreSident-elect LleraS, a
Liberal, will be entitled to solid legisla-
tive support until his term expires in
1862, at which time the presidency will
constitutionally shift to Conservative.
There is no absolute guarantee, Of
course, that this unusual arrangement
will work out as the constitution pro-
vides. However, all but relative hand
full of the Liberals and Conservatives
have firmly pledged themselves to it in
order to avoid renewal of their past
bitter struggles. Moreover, DR.. LleraS,
former Secretary General of the Organi-
zation of American States, is so deeply
respected in his country as a statesman
and champion of the democratic process
that his four-year presidency promises
to nurture the new bipartisan system
in a way that should insure continuing
stability and freedom.
Actually, Colombia is not unaccus-
toned to stable and freely elected gov
ernments. Until its political troubles
began in the mid-1940s, it was long
regarded as one of Latin Americas
most tranquil and most advanced de-
mocracies. In that respect, therefore,
the election OF DR.. LleraS may be viewed
as an event Symbolizing and dramatic
ing the restoration of good way of life
that was only interrupted, not destroyed.
May 1t continue to thrive now without
letup.

Posters and Politics

The Northern Virginia Re-
publican Committee has sug-
gested a ban on billboards
during the coming election
campaign on the ground
they tend to clutter the area.
On the surface this appears
to be a fine plan to enhance
the beauty Of Virginia. A
closer study, however sug-
gests the plan was originated
to enhance the chances for
reelection Of Representative
Broyhill.
With no billboards it would
be nearly impossible for the
Democratic candidates to be-
come known, leaving the in
cumbent familiar to the vot-
ers from previous campaigns.
In my opinion this is a low
sort of political trickery and
should speedily be rejected.

Powell Indictment

IL is q commonplace 10 say tnaJ
public judgment of an indicted man
should be suspended until all the facts
are known. This is especially true in
the income tax indictment of New
York's Representative Adam Clayton
Powell, jr.
For it can hardly be said that the
Powell case has taken routine course.
The Powell grand jury was convened in
December, 1855, two months after Mr..
Powell came out for the reelection of
President Eisenhower. The jurors sat
until February, 1857; then, for fourteen
months, nothing happened.
The Jury investigation of the Powell
! charges was not resumed until, accord
/. ing to some reports, the grand Jurors
. had threatened to take matters into
their own hands. At the outset, the
case was being handled by Thomas A.
Bolan, former assistant United States
Attorney. Mr.. Bolan has said he was
told by the Department of Justice to
drop the case because it was "too hot to
handle" And Negro political leaders
in New York have charged that there
was deal between Mr.. Powell and the
White House-to have the charges
! dropped in return for support of the
President.
All of these accusations have been
emphatically denied by United States
Attorney Paul w. Williams and by other
interested Federal officials. The IA
month delay 1t is said, resulted from a
need to evaluate the evidence against
Mr.. Powell, and certainly, in a case of
this kind, there was every reason for
careful evaluation of the evidence. The
congressman has been an active and
vocal figure in the civil rights fight.
To indict him, without adequate sup
porting evidence, would look like per-
Secution.
The trial Of Mr.. Powell will test the
suff1ciency of the evidence against him.
United States Attorney williams has in
timated that he may take action against
Mr.. Bolan, and the latter says he well
comes "any action which will reveal to
the public what has happened in this
case"
So the stage seems set for a show
down, not only on the Powell charges,
but on all the charges. Obviously, it
would be wise to withhold judgment un-
til the facts are in

Murk in Moscow

News from behind the Iron Curtain
seems at the moment to be like some
thing seen dimly and uncertainty
through a dense fog. Murky rumors
and speculation abound. Among other
things, they suggest that Premier Nikita
Khrushchev may be in serious personal
trouble, with Red China backing his
Stalinist Notwithstanding especially
the old Molotov crowd-in an effort to
topple him because of his past tolerance
Of theological deviationists In countries
like Poland and Yugoslavia.
The sudden renewal of bitter at
tackS on Marshal Tito and the Yugoslav
Communists is cited as one piece of evi-
dence in support of this theory Also
cited are such facts as these: (1) AS
demonstrated by its harsh veto of the
proposal for an international system of
Arctic inspection to minimize the dan
ger of surprise attacks, the Kremlin ap-
pears to have returned to a tough and
truculent line in the United Nations;
and (2), although Mr.. Khrushchev has
been calling loudly and persistently for
a summit conference, Soviet policy in
recent weeks has become so intransigent
as to indicate that Moscow is deliber-
ately intent upon discouraging any
meeting of that kind in the near future.
Meanwhile, however, as if he were
still undisputed boss of his country, Mr..
KhruShchev has Just sent a new and
rather conciliatory letter to President
Eisenhower on the subject of studying
ways and means of establishing trust
worthy mutual inspection to police a
ban on nuclear testing. Meanwhile,
too, in contrast to the speculative re-
ports about how he may even now be
engaged in a deadly struggle to save
himself, there have been weekend news
stories depicting him as a confident
leader apparently entrenched strongly
enough to tell the people of the USSR
that they can count on him and the
Central Committee of the Soviet Com
munist Party to provide them with a
vastly increased output of consumer
goods over the next six years. More
over, despite Peiping'S rumored opposi-
ton to the idea, he has been quoted
again as declaring that he really wants
an early heads-of-government con-
ference.
To put 1t mildly, as far as outsiders
in the free world are concerned, this
welter Of contradictory rumors, reports,
tea-leaf readings and informed or un-
informed gueSseS adds up to fogginesS
sufficiently thick to make the head
swim. Is Mr. Khrushchev actually in
danger? Are the oldline StaliniSts about
to get rid of him? Or does he still sit
firmly in the saddle of Soviet power?
Certainly, until the current murk in
Moscow is cleared away by the unfold
ing of events themselves, only the rash
would be reckless enough to hazard
dogmatic answers.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE

termine the extreme possible
limits OF the universe-the
point at which galaxies are
moving outward at the speed
OF light. 10000 miles a Sec
ond. which theoretically is
the greatest velocity which
can possibly exist.
The Carnegie astronomers
assume that the red-shift
law obtains throughout Gre
alton. There remains, they
admit. a slight element OF
doubt. The law cannot be abb
solutely guaranteed for un-
limited distances but Or.
Baum and his associates have
been unable to find any
exceptions within the region
where 1t is possible TO obtain
star system spectra. There
is a remote possibility that
some OF the reddening effect
may be due to vast clouds Of
unknown matter in outer
space through which the
light must pass.
Survey Of Universe BrOadens
Each year. up to now, it
has been possible to extend
the survey Of the universe a
few hundred light years fur
ther towards the ultimate
boundaries Of creation. OF
late this has been extremely
difficult due to light condi-
tions caused by the present
maximum number of spots
on the face Of the sun. Study
Of previous Photographic
plates taken in connection
with the National Geograph-
ic Society's sky survey has
revealed at least four more
vast clusters Of galaxies with
recession speeds ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 miles a
second.
In other surveys by DR..
Baum about a dozen sus-
pected clusters at the ex-
treme range of observation
were found. All were small,
however-that is containing
not more than 10 or a dozen
l00-billion star galaxies-and
1t was impossible to get re-
liable distance determina-
tions.

they know a thing or two.

something to make it vomit,

this does the trick.
Much of old time herbal
medicine was mans imitation

That much Of this "medi-
cine" was pure hokum cannot
be helped.

Man. himself, is the great
medicine taker.
No matter his formal edu-
cation, he is a product of the
centuries, thousands upon
thousands of years of living
behind him, so many that the
figures are meaningless.
In all that time, man must
be expected to have picked
up a store Of natural healing,
much of it wrong, perhaps.
but some Of it good.
Man also has got himself
unconsciously into the habit
Of taking" something for

II here again he often fails,

the formal and orthodox

no perfection anywhere in

If a human being likes to

at least from the mental
standpoint.
Whole nations. notably
Great Britain, go in for self

The danger, of course, is
apparent-a real malady may
be masked by palliative
measures.
1t all gets back to how
much of himself does one

Adult, he has a right to do
what he pleases, within
rather broad limits.
This includes the sheer
pleasure Of taking pills when

nobody short of a complete

moderation, he may have a

Distrusts Russia

Why is Dorothy Thompson
so tender = hearted toward
Russia? Does she want us to
be sitting ducks as we were
at Pearl Harbor, or is she
sincere and does not want
any harm to come to Russia
regardless of what happens
to us?
She says, Let's practice
the golden rule" Russia has
always practiced the golden
rule, my dear Dorothy, only
like everything else Russia
does, she places the wrong
Interpretation on it, and
actually says; do others be-
fore they get a chance to do
you"
She so ably has practiced
this in Korea.
We and Russia Cor we and
China established a no
mans land between North
Korea and South Korea, and
Russia, obeying the golden
rule, established large forti-
fications and ammunition
dumps in this neutral zone.
Let us withdraw our planes
and men from the Arctic and
she will again have the urge
to practice the golden rule
and set up business in the
Arctic.
Miss Thompson stated on
Saturday, May 3: Under
those conditions the obvious
way to lay the groundwork
for an ultimate settlement is
for the armed froces Of the
two great powers to keep a
good distance from each
other"
Does Russia or will Russia
ever agree to this? Would
anyone in his right mind
trust the Russians for one
minute If they did agree to
keep their planes and troops
far from us? The answer Is
Nyet.
