Mutual Benefits

Both Fairfax County and the Dis
trict OF Columbia would benefit from
the Joint sewage disposal plan suggested
by David Aud, director Of the Districts
Sanitary Engineering Department. The
county would be assured of adequate
disposal Of sewage from the increasingly
important Pimmit Run watershed-and
probably at less cost than an independ-
ent treatment program-while the Dis
trict would be relieved Of a potential
pollution hazard In the Chain Bridge
area Of the Potomac River.
Mr.. Aulds plan, outlined in a letter
to county authorities, is a modification
OF an old proposal for joint use by the
District and nearby Virginia commu-
mites OF the modern sewage disposal
plant at Blue Plains. The original plan
called for piping Of all of the sewage
from Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax
across the river TO Blue Plains, where
the District would take care OF treat
ment under contract with the various
jurisdictions concerned. The proposal
was rejected by Virginia officials, how
ever, on the advice of engineering con-
sultants, who favored joint facilities on
the Virginia side.
In the meantime, the Maryland
Suburban Sanitary Commission has
signed a contract with the District for
disposal and treatment of sewage from
Prince Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties. The Blue Plains plant has plenty
OF capacity for this additional work.
Fairfax County, too, might find 1t adj
vantageous TO send its Pimmit Run area
sewage-which includes that from the
new Central Intelligence Agency build
ing-across the river to the Districts
facilities. The plan merits careful con-
sideration, anyway.

The Dog and the Tick

John L. Lewis long ago established
the fact that his opinions are provoca-
tive ones, usually expressed with head
line-making eloquence. On both counts,
he was in good form in a recent tele-
vision appearance when he criticized
the AFL-CIO for expelling corruption
charged member unions. This, he said,
Is merely shooting the dog to remove
the tick"
1t was Mr.. Lewis premise, in part,
that the labor federation does not have
the right to exercise police power against
hundreds of thousands Of wage earners
-. because of bitterness against indi-
vidual members" And it was his fur
ther view that union members may not
be indicted for immortality" because OF
charges Of corruption against their lead
erS. Actually, both of these declarations
might reasonably be debated. BY its
Interpretation of its own constitution,
the federation does have the authority
to suspend or expel unions considered
In violation of its code of conduct. Fur
thermore, in the case of the Transfers
and the other unions recently expelled,
there were far more serious grounds for
the federation action than bitterness"
against individuals. And il this action
Is to be interpreted as an Indictment Of
union members for immortality, 1t might
be pointed out that the charges Of cor
ruption against the ,Teamster leader
ship, for example, were pretty thoroughly
supported-and yet majority Of the
unions members did not choose to re-
pudiate this type Of leadership. II the
Transfers themselves had removed "the
tick" the dog" would not have been
shot, choice that was specifically Of
fered to the Teamsters brotherhood.
Interestingly too, Mr.. Lewis him.
self made the point that the future Of
the labor movement will depend ION the
quality of the leaders, There is Moth
ing in the record OF the United Mine
Workers president to support belief that
he would condone in his own union
the much-publicized practices of Dave
Beck or Jimmy Hoffa. Mr.. Lewis made
news in his television interview, but he
hardly seems TO have made very good
case for these particular opinions.

Worth Preserving

The survey Of Virginia's historic
buildings being made by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation is an es-
sential step in the commendable move
ment to preserve the States antiquities.
With the survey nearly completed, the
trust has reported that at least 1000
venerable buildings have been found to
be worth preserving because of their
historic associations. They range from
mansions to smokehouses and other
relics Of Virginias earlier way of life.
During the survey the investigators
sadly noted that some of the fine old
structures dating back to Colonial days
are disappearing as new subdivisions and
shopping centers RISE Other homes Of
historic interest have been "done over"

II seems Mr.. Wilson is still

that is the reason why we

Hiqh-FIyinq Russian

The report that the Russians fred
q man 1876 miles into the air and then
brought him back by parachute has not
been confirmed or denied by the Krem-
lin. 1t could we'll be true, however, and
1t viii give our returning congressman
something new to think about as they
begin their session today
There is no doubt that the Russians,
using the equipment employed to put
their half-ton satellite into orbit, could
send man up 1876 miles, or even much
higher. Getting him back alive would
be different matter. For the capsule
In which man would have to be en-
closed, If permitted to fall freely, would
travel at speed of around 5000 miles
an hour. Some kind Of braking device
would be necessary, and there is nothing
-rumor excepted-to support belief
that the Russians have solved this
problem.
But they will solve it-and so will
we. The real question Is not whether
the thing can be done, but who will be
first to do 1t. We sent a man up almost
"a miles last year in test plane. And
the Air Force has announced that an
other pilot will attempt to climb to 100
miles in the Kills rocket plane. II the
current report from Moscow is true. then
1t may be assumed that the Russians are
ahead Of us-though probably not very
far ahead.
or one thing. however, we may be
sure. Man is making his first tentative
experimental probings into space And
the day is surely coming, perhaps sooner
than most OF us think, when he will
break out Of the earth's atmosphere
and travel on the pathway to the stars.

1t takes at least IS years
for a person to see what time
does to q suburban commun-
ity as far as wildlife is con-
cerned.
When the city man and
his family move to the sub
urbS, one Of the first things
they notice is the number of
living creatures seldom If
ever seen in the built up
areas.
These include rabbits. opoS-
sums, occasionally foxes.
some 20 species of birds, and
the ever present squirrels.
There will also be field
mice, much prettier than
house mice. and shrewS. bel
ligerent small creatures with
short stubby tails.
The latter greatly resemble
common mice and are taken
for them by most observers.
-
An average old-line sub
urban community will not
have as many houses in it
as it can hold, because the
people who built first usually
wanted large yards.
Today, the trend is toward
smaller and smaller lawn
areas. This not only comes
about because Of cost, but
also because a typical modern
suburban dweller simply does
not want TO be bothered.
He is an organization man.
as they say. and is deter
mined to get away from the
individualist strain once so
common in America.
We are all the product of
our times. and our times ask
of us cooperation, talking
things over. and putting a
great deal of energy into
communal efforts.
So many do not have
enough energy left over to
NOV large lawns, or even to
want to think about moving
large lawns.

average thing.

Actually. II comes into

PET Dictatorship

When there is so much talk
OF peace-much Of II unfor-
tunately insincere-I'd like to
put in a word in favor Of
ending hypocrisy in propa-
ganda as a means Of promot-
ing peace.
I refer to the State Depart
ment's eternal emphasis on
democracy" as a concept for
denouncing Communist dicta-
torships. Now l hate dictator
ships Of all sorts-Communist
and fascist-but unless we
mean deliberately to be hyp-
ocritical. we can't be toll
Grant OF one set Of Dictator
ships and denunciatory OF
another. Yet this is the set
policy Of the State Depart
ment and of the USIS.
II we feel we have to be
chronically denunciatory
toward Communist dictator
ships. let's be chronically
denunciatory toward them
all, and thus antagonize not
Just half the world but three
foNrths OF IL.
Take the Government OF
Venezuela. for example. A
story In The New York Times
January 2 refers to the ruler
ship Of President Marcos
Perez Jimenez as zone Of the
toughest. hardest military
relationships In the Western
Hemisphere" The same story
adds that president Perez
Jimenez has derived an arti-
fetal strength from his ma
tons oil prosperity and from
the friendship Of the United
States State Department"
Since The Times is an ac-
curate and conservative news
paper, I take this to be no
reinstatement. The State
Department also eagerly sup
ports undemocratic govern
ments In other oil-rich ma
tons. such as Saudi Arabia
