Peace on the Potomac?

A Joint Maryland Virginia "armi-
Stice" commission has agreed tentatively
to general terms of a peace pact that
promises to end the interstate "oySter
wars" on the lower Potomac River. If
no laSt-minute hitch develops in the
negotiations - and none is expected -
the two States soon will report to the
Supreme Court their amicable settle
ment of a controversy that dates back
to 1785. Much of the credit for the
agreement will go to retired Justice
Stanley Reed, who, as court-appointed
special master in the case, has used his
persuasive powers to bring the diSpu-
tants together out of court.
The ancient controversy between
Maryland and Virginia fishermen and
between authorities of the two States
resulted from a compact signed 173
years ago, under which Virginia agreed
to give Maryland ships free access to
Chesapeake Bay in return for equal
fishing rights on the Maryland-owned
Potomac. But Maryland'S restrictions on
fishing have caused discomfort on the
Virginia side, especially with respect to
harvesting of oysters. Maryland has
outlawed dredging for oysters, whereas
Virginia's laws permit use of power
dredges. Internationally there have been
outbreaks of warfare" between Viz
ginia'S dredgers and Maryland's en-
forcement officers.
The recurrent battles finally led to
reputation by the recent Maryland
General Assembly of the 1785 compact.
Virginia Immediately challenged the
validity of this action in suit filed with
the Supreme Court. The high tribunal
agreed to hear the suit, but as a pre-
liminary step appointed Justice Reed to
try to effect an out-of-court settlement,
or, at least, to collect the facts for court
consideration. Justice Reed prevailed on
the two States to appoint joint COM
mission, pointing out that Maryland and
Virginia always in the past had sue
ceeded in settling other disputes by
mutual agreement.
The commission has not completed
its work, but its members have an
nounced that they are in substantial
agreement" on adoption of uniform
fishing laws and regulations and on
possible establishment of bistate au-
thority to control the river These meas
ureS would require special approval of
both legislatures. However, there are
reaSSuring evidences on both sides of
the Potomac of a determination to
bring about a permanent agreement
that would end the serious friction be-
tween these otherwise friendly neigh
bors We hope the present armistice will
end in lasting treaty of peace.

President Eisenhower has drawn a
graphic parallel In likening mutual Sc
curity dollars of peacetime to the am
munition Of war. Expressing distress at
the action Of the House Appropriations
Committee In cutting 1854 million from
his requested total in foreign aid funds,
Mr.. Eisenhower described 1t as a denial
of ammunition" which could bring
important losses for the free world and
a serious decreasing of the security OF
the United States" He appealed to the
House and to Congress as a whole to
restore the cut.
There is, Of course, no magically pre-
else figure by which essential mutual
security needs can be guaranteed. In
its best judgment, however, the admin
istration estimated a requirement Of
$685. billion for economic and military
aid to friendly nations in the coming
fiscal year. After careful consideration,
the House and Senate agreed during the
past week to an authorization bill fixing
the money ceiling at $3.675 billion.
There were indications the adminiStra-
ton had no serious objection to this
moderate reduction, providing the full
authorized amount was appropriated.
The full House Appropriations Commit
tee, however, went even beyond the
recommendations of its own Subcommit-
tee to vote the deeper cut.
Suffering particularly at the hands of
the full committee was provision for the
new development loan fund-for which
the administration had asked $625 mil
lion, the subcommittee had recon-
mended $415 million and the full COM
mittee favored only $500 million. Fortu-
nately, there has been showing Of sem
timent in the Senate for greater atten-
ton toward the development loan pro-
gram. Acting Majority Leader Mans
field of Montana has described the
House committee decision as mistake
and has said there will be a strong move
ment in the Senate to appropriate the
full $625 million, or even more. At a
time when the Soviet Union is making
an intense effort to "seh' its brand of
economic aid, our own approach to-a
new development loan program should
not be cut down to skeleton proportions.
In any case, the Presidents concern
for an adequate effort in the foreign aid
field-for enough ammunition to fight
and to win-Should not be diSregarded
by the Congress.

Home Care Program

late The Star on the inform
alive article of June IA on
the Health Departments
home care program. This
program, through which in
digent patients with chronic
illnesses are released from
District General Hospital and
given medical care at home,
is beneficial In three direc-
tons: Cd 1t helps the city
budget. for occasional visits
by public health nurses and
doctors are much less costly
than hospital care. 90 1t
helps the hospital by free
ing scarce beds. 80 1t helps
the patient by reuniting him
with his family. Other cities
have developed extensive sue
cessful programs of this type
and the recent Steinle re-
port on District health facili-
ties recommended an expan-
sion of ours.
The league has frequently
requested appropriations on a
restricted basis. We hope
that your article will stimu-
late additional interest on
the part of both citizens and
public officials.

track of the fact that Wash

Virginia and Maryland for
them. Virginia pays her part

Little Rock

Congratulations on the very
timely and factual editorial
June %. entitled Little Rock
Turnabout."
Since the ruling of the
Supreme Court outlawing
segregation in public schools,
too many school officials have
been seeking every legal
means to evade this court
order, while boards of edu-
cation sit quietly making lit
tie or no adjustment to
change over from a segre-
gated system to that of an
integrated one.
The law Of this land must
be obeyed and upheld. The
South is holding fast to seq
regation as it did to slavery.
A concerted stand has been
taken to flout this Federal
decree ruling out segregation
in public schools.
Our Federal courts are
challenged to take a positive
stand. If not, the very evils
which gave rise to the forma-
ton of our laws and courts
may be supervised by the
official lawbreakers.

Fairfax Reaches Out

The venerable town of Fairfax, seat
OF the county of the same name, has
thrown off the lethargy of many years
and has emerged as one of the up-and-
coming small cities of Northern Virginia.
Rapid growth of residential communities
on the outskirts of the old town has
been climaxed by successful annex
alton proceeding which has nearly
doubled the towns area almost over
night. Admirers of the historic town
will hope that the march of modern
progress will not destroy its colonial
aspect and traditions.
The town is built around its ancient
courthouse, In which are the wills of
George and Martha Washington and
other priceless documents associated
with the country's early days. For many
decades Fairfax was content to stand
by while other towns and communities
in nearby Virginia grew phenomenally
under the impact Of Federal expansion
In Washington. Inevitably, however, the
development of residential and CONNER
cial communities brought new suburbs"
to the town. Municipal water and sewer
services were extended to these new
naighborS beyond the towns limits and
the fringe communities became more
closely linked to the town itself.
Most of the communities thus served
by the town now have been annexed
under orders of a three-iudge court
which heard advocates and opponents Of
the change. Most of the opposition,

The wagging tongue is q

parison with the impact Of
what one says for and by

Right here, the boss may
put up a second paper on
the big board:
NOTICE
"While coffee drinking is
forbidden, it is better in the
lunchroom than at the desk.
THE coffee break. a silly
phrase at best, may be per-
mitted under certain con-

They have too much

The personal impact Of
hot coffee seems to loosen

riots with gossip.
The lowdown, it is usually
called, which means that
somebody is getting raped.

monotony of the job. but who
ever said a job was monoto-

What the break does to
the ego is immense.

He drank 40 cups a day.
