fight among Washington fan;
and Greensboro players two
nights ago at Uline Arena.
McLenahan, who played here
in the early 1940s with the
Washington Eagles ice hockey
team, was cited by Lockhart
for leaving the bench to fight
with the fans. The melee STEM

players said was Continuous
and abusive heckling from the
fans"
Meanwhile, Washington was
preparing to meet the Phila-

For Fair Representation

Among the various problems facing
metropolitan areas, few are more vexing
than the inadequate consideration which
most State legislatures give to the ex-
ploSive needs of the urban regions. In
the Washington area, where this di-
lemma is especially acute, two small but
commendable attempts are being made
to do something about it.
The most hopeful is new legisla-'
tive reapportionment plan submitted to
Governor TaweS by special commits
sion, which would increase the repre-
Sentation of WaShington'S nearby coun-
ties in the Maryland House of Delegates.
Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties, under the plan, each would increase
their delegation strength from six to
eight, and Anne Arundel would add one
to the six delegates it now sends to An
napoliS Each additional 100000 popu-
lation in the counties would add one
more seat, up to a maximum OF ten.
Both Montgomery and Prince
Georges now are lowering around the
$4,000 mark in population. Under
the present formula, they have the same
representation they would have with
population of $4,000. This inequity is
shameful, and certainly the proposed
change is a minimum one. It's pros
poets, nevertheless, are by no means
bright. There will be no strong SEN
timent among rural members OF the
House and Senate for a change. So even
this initial step toward fair apportion-
ment probably will depend on whether
Governor TaweS lives up to his cam
paign promises to assist urban areas,
and makes a strong drive for the plans
enactment.
In Virginia, where the rural
dominated Legislature is even less SYM
pathetic to urban needs, an effort is
under way to impress that States law
makers through direct exposure to the
problems. The plan, proposed by the
Northern Virginia delegation, is to invite
the entire Legislature to visit this area
for week end in January. Modest as
this effort is, it should be well worth the
estimated cost Of $20000-to be shared
by the Jurisdictions of the region. This
is no substitute for more basic reforms
in Virginia, such as reapportionment
plan similar to that in Maryland, but
some good might come from f1rst-hand
view, Sensibly presented, Of the traffic
congestion, shortages in public facili-
ties and other headaches affecting the
closely packed communities along the
Potomac.

@. How much drop in tenn
perature does it take in the
polar regions to change open
seas to permanent ice?-
C. r.
A. AS long as winter tenn
peratures remain above %
degrees F., the approximate
freezing point of ocean
water, the polar seas remain
open. At slightly lower tenn
peratures, the ice frozen dur
ing the winter melts again
in the following summer and
the seas remain effectively
open. But if the winter tenn
perature falls about 5 de-
grees F. lower than the freeZ-
ing point of ocean water, an
ice cap will form. Its growth
will be slow at first. but sum-
mer melting will not quite
offset the effect of winter
freezing. After its radius has
reached about 600 miles, the
growth of the ice cap be-
comes rapid because the ice
itself has a cooling effect on
surrounding areas and the
rate of summer melting Is
thus reduced.

Diqnified Art Contest

The contest between the National
Gallery of Art and the Metropolitan
Museum of Art over which gallery Is
to get which art masterpieces from the
Timken collection will be dignified-
but not by any means dull. This will
be friendly rivalry according to pres
ent indications, with virtually price
less paintings by Old World masters at
stake.
The contest arises as the result of
the failure of the late Mrs. Lillian Guyer
Timken, roller bearing heireSs, to specify
how her famous art treasures were to
be divided between the two galleries to
which she bequeathed them. Dying at
78 in New York City, she left notable
collection of works by Rembrandt, Goya,
Titan, Correggio, Van Dyck, Raphael,
Millet, Reynolds and other artists. One
Rembrandt, Christ and the Woman of
Samaria," is reputed to be valued at
quarter of a million dollars.
1t obviously is no simple matter to
divide such a collection in a manner
that would leave both galleries content.
Presumably every effort will be made
by administrators of the estate to bring
about an amicable, voluntary agree

Preacher Jockson's Story

The -thickening effect of quiz
show cheating seems to have spread
even to some members of the ministry.
This, at any rate, is the logical con-
cluSion to draw from the story told by
the Reverend Charles E. Jackson, who
won total of $4,000 on "The $64 900
Question" and ''The $4,000 Challenge"
3, Mr.. Jackson was working for a
worthy cause-trying to pay off debt
on home for underprivileged boys.
Prior to going on the air he was put
through a question: -and-anSwer review,
which included the questions to be asked
and the answers wanted. AS things
have turned out, this was pretty much
routine in quiz-Show procedure.
There is an unusual aspect to
Mr.. Jackson'S case, however. Between
appearances, he says, he told fellow
ministers in his home community in
Tennessee what had happened. And,
according to Preacher Jackson, without
exception" they told him he had done
nothing wrong and to keep going" Mr..
Jackson added this comment: II have
not been cenSured nearly so much for
taking the money as for opening my big
mouth"
1t is not for us to be preaching
sermons. But if Mr.. Jackson and his
fellow ministers did not see anything
wrong in taking $4,000 under false pre-
lenses, then the line between right and
wrong has been wiped out. And this is
something for the adult community to
think about as it wrings its hands over
the upSurge in juvenile delinquency.

Down-but Is He Out?

Standing out in the somewhat
scrambled national election picture is
the latest Of Harold Stassen'S resound-
Ing defeats at the polls. The two-to-
one drubbing he has taken in the Phila-
delphia mayoralty "race" from incum-
bent Democrat Richardson Dilworth in
what Mr.. StasSen had hoped would be
his political comeback would be enough
to discourage less hardy soul. But,
with typical StasSen stoicism, he has
told reporters that he may run again"
for some political office One wonders
what there is left for the former Re-
publican "boy wonder" to run for.
Undaunted by his remarkable rec
ord of successive rebuffS in his aSpira-
tionS for numerous high Offices, from
the presidency to the Pennsylvania Gov
ernor'S chair, Mr.. Stassen astounded
everyone but himself by volunteering
as the G.. o. P. opponent of popular
Mayor Dilworth. His campaign was
marked by good bit of demagoguery
and general bombaSt. The voters in the
City of Brotherly Love were not greatly
impressed, as evidenced in the piling up
for Mr.. Dilworth of what may be the
largest Democratic majority ever re-
corded there. Even normally Republi-
can Strongholds gave heavy votes to the
incumbent Mayor, seeking second
term.
Mr.. StaSsen'S resiliency in bouncing
back from one political setback after
another has been such as to indicate
that he may be serious in announcing
that he has not given up hope of winning
an election some day, some where. If
so, it would seem that any potential
opponent would welcome his opposition.

When the chairman of the
board and treasurer of a
prominent local store gives
as his reason for flying the
United Nations flag in front
of his store the thought that
I'VE cannot ignore the wishes
of the State Department and
President Eisenhower" he
raises a very pertinent ques-
ton.
Is not the State Depart
ment going way outside its
powers as established by law
when it even suggests" that
the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association ask its
members to fly the U. N. flag?
1t knows full well that it will
be difficult and unpleasant
for most people to resist such
q suggestion. Things have
come to a pretty pass in this
country when private enter
prise as well as individuals
feel constrained to obey this
suggestion. 1t is indeed the
beginning of a strange doc
trine in a free country-to
have to kowtow to the wishes
of any department outside of
their province as granted by
law.
It is the privilege Of any
one to fly the u. N. flag, or
any other flag, provided they
do not transcend the flag
code of the United States.
But we believe it is important
for us to oppose any state
ment or step taken by any
Government agency it does
not legally possess the rlgnC
to. Otherwise one of these
days we'll have all our lib
critics taken away from us
by the power of Suggestion
and become subservient to
the whims of not only the
State, but any other depart
ment which feels like telling
us what we shall or shall not
do, whether they are en-
powered by law or not.
Also, business firms here
may well inquire of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers
Association why it chooses to
indulge in giving political di-
rection to it's members. The
proclamation of United Ma
tions Week contained no re-
quest to fly the U. N. flag.

EIectronic Mail

to awe us simple souls. Now
we are told that before too
long we will be able to send a
letter from Washington to
Los Angeles in about seven

Unfortunately, not even the

safe to say that it will still
take the seven-second letter

Youth in Politics

There is even the possible
ity Of creating new germs
and viruses or greatly In
creasing the potency OF such
historic maladies as plague,
typhus, cholera, smallpox.
Perhaps some old ones, like
the still mysterious "black
death" Of 18th century Lon

There are two ways that
biological warfare agents
could be used," said Mai.
Gen. william B. Greasy, re-
tired chief Of the Chemical
Corps, in a recent statement.
"The open method would be
by such means as airplane
sprays. bombs or aerosol dis
pensers Of almost any type.
However, a BW agent Is not
likely to be dispensed through
a munition that employs a
large or heavy bursting
charge. Micro-organisms are
living things. They are
capable of becoming CASUAL
ties of any explosive charge
used to disseminate them.
"A second method presents
the greatest danger to an
attacked nation. Saboteurs
could plant disease germs al
most anywhere they chose
in water supplies. food sup
plies, air-conditioning sys-
TENS. Under such conditions
it would be hard to say
whether a disease outbreak
was an act Of nature or Of
man."
No Tactical Plan
There are, at present, no
"BW tactics" There hardly
can be before more is known
about actual potentialities.
Such tactics are not taught
in any military academy or
described in any textbooks.
There have been sensa-
tional reports which, Of
course, cannot be confirmed
such as those about in
creasing the virulence Of
some deadly germs as much
as 1,000-fold. There is great
reluctance to talk about it
much.
Quoting Gen. Greasy again:
ITO ignorance we must add
one of the most unrealis-
tic forms of sentimentaliSm
which which has ever sup
ported evil on earth-the at
tachment of man to cruel
and inhumane methods Of
killing the enemy. Down
through the ages almost
every new weapon has had a
horror tag applied to it,
before man has placed that
particular weapon on his So
called acceptable list"

LeveIinq Trade Walls

Two of the worlds great trading
nations. Britain and Japan, have given
dramatic evidence In recent days Of
their postwar economic recovery. An
nouncing in each case a wide relaxation
of import controls, and particularly
those which have kept many American
products out of their markets, the two
countries, in sense, are reaftirming
their dedication to- the free world alli-
ance and attesting to the fact that 1t
exists on the economic front as well as
on the military and political. For it
is not without significance that both
actions have followed quickly upon an
American appeal that existing circum-
stances demand an end to long-stand-
ing, and no longer justifiable, discrimi-
nations against American exports. In
the long run, their removal should
benefit all.
The British action, presented in
detail in Parliament today and effective
next Monday, virtually terminates AM
import licensing system that has applied
since the outbreak of World War II in
1899. Except for few items, 1t removes
these restrictions on all goods other
than those coming from the Commu-
mist bloc Cncluding China) and Japan.
British-Japanese trade relations cur
rently are under review and negotiation
in connection with the General Agree
ment on Tariffs and Trade. OF greatest
potential Importance among the dollar
goods now being freed are automobiles,
textiles and scientific instruments.
Britain's recovery has been most
marked during the past year or so, and
has been accompanied by earlier steps
toward freer trade and convertibility of
currency. Raw materials, basic food
Stuffs and most machinery items were
freed in September, 1858, and additional
items were decontrolled last summer.
A trading surplus with the United
States, the first since 1865, strengthened
British reserves of dollars and gold and
permitted London last week to pay off
in advance of due date a $250-million
Export-Import Bank loan.
The Japanese action, likewise taken
against the background of favorable
international payments position, applies
specifically to American goods. In that
case, the Economic Bureau of the For
eign Ministry announced that all re-
strictionS against imports from the
United States will be lifted Eat the
latest" by April /, 1861. Some will be
removed by next March 81, the end of
Japan'S current fiscal year.
There are hopes, perhaps 'expecta-
tionS, that others of the now prosperous
trading nations of the free community
will soon follow the British and Japa-
neSe moves. The sixty-eight member
International Monetary Fund has ex-
preSSly indorsed such step and Under
secretary of State Dillon recently warned
that the alternative would be "a reSur-
gence of protectioniSm." For our part Of
course, as this pattern of freeing trade
unfolds, there will be the responsibility
to keep our own markets open. There
will be, also, if we are to benefit, the
necessity that our own goods be COM
petitive in price and Quality-a require
ment which rests jointly upon American
industry and labor.

this way draw the attention

otherwise be overlooked.

1t is one thing to have a
nice lawn, but quite another
to fuss and fume in order to
have a nice lawn.
If a leaf gets on it, some
persons we know fuss as if
something awful had hap
pened, when all the time the
leaf acts as accent.
Borders of lawns need not
be clipped to perfection all
the time.
The straying edges attract
birds, we are sure of that,
and even make the place
seem more friendly to cats
and dogs.
We are convinced that old
Fido does not mind a few
dandelionS in his masters
lawn.
In fact, he will like 1t all
the better to roll in.
Unkept places, even un.
kempt spots, make the wild
creatures, both winged and
furred, feel more at home.
What is a place for, except
to give this feeling to its in
mates, in which list must be
included the birds and four
legged guests?
The latter we may not al
ways invite, but they come
anyway and judge our places
by what they find, as every
body else does.
A show place is good, per-
haps, we are not quite sure,
but a used place is better,
and if it is used peacefully
by people, birds and animals,
and even the plants, so much
the better, one may think.
If commonly disregarded
flowers, such as the dande-
lions, and maybe a big plan
tain and a burdock, honor us
by finding our place a for
tunate one for them, why
should we worry? Let us re-
joice and be glad there is
something to rejoice about in
a day of evil fumes. bombs
and irritated people.
