changed for II the long stand

and which permitted the loans

The President said he would
resist any attempt TO repeat
these provisions In the future.
Senator Gore. Democrat Of
Tennessee. chief sponsor of the
measure. said the Presidents
statement indicates "he is
against the provision OF the
bill designed to break the back
OF the recession"
Senator Gore said the $500
million fund contained the best
job-making potential OF any
section Of the bill because ABC
projects can get under way
more quickly than the more
complex superhighway con-
Struction.
The Senator said 1t was

Clinic for DeIinquents

Juvenile Court Judge Ketcham
could make good use Of such PSYCHE.
atric clinic as has been proposed by an
advisory group of experts on mental
health. The court could deal more in
diligently with juvenile offenders if it
knew more about the mental quirks or
ailments which make them act the way
they do. The courts lone professional
adviser on such matters has been helpful
in determining defendants competency
to stand trial, their chances of rehabili-
tation and the course of action most
likely to protect the public interest.
However, the present conSultant,
DR.. Laurence L. Frost of the National
Institutes of Health, can handle only
fraction of the cases on which the Judge
needs expert medical advice. Nor can
he devote the time to each case which
normally would be used in diagnostic
and treatment procedures It was in
recognition of this weakness in the
courts Setup that Judge Ketcham re-
queSted study of the courts PSYCHE
atric needs by professional committee,
of which DR.. Frost was member. The
group has recommended creation of a
fully stated pSychiatric clinic at the
court, similar to those available to some
courts in other cities.
Such clinic, If provided with ade-
quate facilities and personnel, would
cost substantial sum. But If it would
enable the court to deal more effec-
lively with the increasingly serious
problem Of juvenile crime in Washing
ton and assure better protection for
the public from young hoodlums with
incorrigible tendencies, no effort should
be spared and no time lost in setting
1t up.

To Promote Teamwork

Legislation sponsored by Arlington
delegates to the General Assembly would
open the way for broader regional team
work of the sort that has become a
necessity in the Northern Virginia
metro" area. The Legislature in the
past has approved special bills of SINH
lar nature, but restricted to particular
projects. The new measure, prepared
by Delegates Mann and Winston, would
extend the cooperation authority into
all fields Of local administration.
Nearby counties and cities already
have pooled resources in providing Joint
sewage disposal facilities, water supply
systems, regional detention home for
children and the like. Each undertaking
has required a special act Of the Legis-
lature. There are other fields in which
co-ordinated action will be desirable in
the future, such as traffic control, park
development and utilities The plan to
obtain standing authority for Joint
approach to these problems is sensible.

Message From Space

Although one of its two radio trans
mitters has worn out, Explorer still
is sending back some very enlight-
ening information from it's orbital
adventures in space. AS it travels around
us at its fantastic speed, at distances
ranging from about $50 to 1900 miles
above our planet, it is telling us that
man can journey in the same area with
out having to worry much las long as he
is properly equipped) about cosmic rays
or collisions with pieces of meteors. It
is telling us, too, that although the tenn
perature of its outer skin varies from
212 degrees below zero Fahrenheit to 572
degrees above, its interior temperature
is mild, holding at relatively comfortable
levels between so and SO degrees-which
is something human beings are COM
pletely accustomed to.
These are some of the facts that
Explorer has been transmitting to our
world at regular intervals and with great
clarity. They have been authenticated
at the California Institute of Technology,
which is one of the places where Scien-
lists are keeping in close touch with our
country's first artificial moon. 1t is a
moon whose sophisticated" instrument
tation has made it apparently more in
formative than either Of the much big
ger Soviet SputnikS. And its chief mes
sage seems to be that any man seriously
interested in travelling through space
can be sure that he is not being silly

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The purple finch is a bird
which drops in on Washing
ton and its environs in win
ter.
He is always welcome.
In the suburban areas of
nearby Maryland and Vir-
GINA he comes to leave a
rosy impression.
IF you have anything of
interest on the purple flnches.
please let us have it," writes
r. j. B. of Alexandria.
Three males have been
around for ten days. Since
the females are not recog-
nizable to the casual glance
as different from the ordinary
sparrows, there may be many
more of them.
1T seems to me they are
early this year.
Beautiful birdsl And they
leave so soon, probably for
the north"
Purple flnches are not real
ly purple, and that is very
confusing to many watchers,
who believe that words ought
to mean what they seem to
mean.
The meaning the purple"
has in purple finch" is that
Of the old Roman emperors.
The royal purple was ac-
tually the rosy color Of dawn.
Anyone who has watched
a fine dawn in a good light
will know just how it resem-
bles the celebration Of the
purple finch.
This is a nice-sized bird,
the male really rosy, and the
female plain sparrow colored,
as our correspondent indi-
Gates.
The male. Of course, bears
away the prize in any beauty
contest. as the males mostly
do in the natural world. as
distinguished from the hui
man world, which is becom-
ing quite unnatural, at times.
~ 4
These birds do not stay
long.
They are just here on the
way north. and like to inves-
tigate bird feeding stations
as they 60 along.
They will remain q few
days. or several more, pro-
viding they find food to their
liking.
In our own neighborhood,
we have not seen these beau
ties for at least is years.
Just why they don't drop
down, we do not know.
1t is true we no longer have
as many trees in the neigh
borhood. but still there are
many. including a great many
more dogwoods than for
merry.
80 -
The finch family is one Of
the greatest in birdland, and
that is why the purple
finches feel at home almost
everywhere they go.
Our personal impression is
that this is a species that
likes a feeding station close
to o house.

Britoin and Missiles

Britain is to be congratulated on its
Defense MiniStry'S announcement that
it is developing medium range ballistic
missile more advanced than any of the
same type now being produced by the
United States. This is news that the
West as whole has reason to welcome.
For what 1t demonstrates, in effect, is
that the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation is not dependent on our country
alone for rocket progress of a sort that
strengthens the common security of all
NATO'S members.
Moreover, this is development that
deserves special commentator as an
example of the kind of shared effort
that can do much to add to the efficiency
and might of our interallied defenses.
Thus, as explained in the white paper
just published by the Macmillan gov
eminent, the British, far from doing the
job all by themselves, are working on
their new missile designed for launch
ing from underground sites) in "close
cooperation" with U.S. And they are
doing it on a basis of highest priority"
with view to increasing the "over-
all superiority of the West" vis-a-vis the
Soviet Union.
Judging from the white paper, the
British are confident that that superb
GRITTY is at present quite substantial and
that it will grow if the Western powers
do everything that must be done to keep
their defenSeS up to date as long as
Moscow continues to veto all moves to
stop the arms race. AS for the Soviet
intercontinental ballistic missile, Brit
aims official view is that several years"
of additional Russian effort will be re-
quired to make the weapon accurate
and stable enough to justify its produc-
ton in quantity.
This may constitute a wishful down.
grading of the Kremlin'S ICBM claims,
but the British apparently believe other
wise. In any case, while acknowledging
that the launching of the SputnikS
shows that the Russians have made Ere
markable progress" in rocketry, the
white paper declares that it would be a
mistake to assume that this has upset
the international balance of military
power. Actually, in Britain'S Judgment,
the Western deterrent remains so for
midable that the Soviet Union-aware Of
the mutual humiliation that would
ensue-is not likely to unleash a world
war.
However, although relatively opti-
miStic on that score, the British white
paper warns that there can be no real
peace, no genuine security for any ma
ton, until ways are found to end the
arms race. At the same time the paper
makes clear that the free West, while
ceaselessly striving for agreement with.
the Kremlin, must go forward with the
development of missiles like the new
one in Britain, and others yet to come
in our own country. This is simply
common sense In keeping with the fun
damental law of MISREPRESENTATION.
