Parking Problem, Anyone?

Sometimes it takes a newcomer to
ask the obvious question, and this was
the case when Lewis E. Breuninger.
newly-installed member of the District
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency, put his
colleagues on the spot the other day.
Why, he asked, hasn't the agency made
some specific plans for spending the $2.4
million 1t has piled up from the nickels
and dimes dropped in parking meters?
Then, in the next breath, Mr..
Breuninger came up with proposal
spend some of the money to build ga
RACES under couple of parks in the K
street business district, where parking
spaces are in critical shortage.
Being novice, Mr.. Breuninger may
be overly optimistic about the park
scheme. Such proposals in the past have
been bludgeoned to death by park off,
Gals But that is no reason not to in
veSt1gate his idea, and his basic point
tnat the money now is being wasted
is especially timely. A strong move al
ready is under way to transfer it to
other District uses, where needs are
both pressing and specific.
1t would be unfortunate if the money
were lost in such way, for it is ridicu-
lous to say that Washington has no
parking problems. When the new State
Department is completed, with its 5000
occupants, parking needs in Foggy Bot
tom will become desperate, and Con-
gresS may then be more willing to listen
to the agency'S plans for that area.
Aside from Foggy Bottom, however,
agency members have been singularly
unimaginative. Perhaps Mr.. Breunin-
gers prod will arouse them to action
before it is too late.

The Supreme Test

Prototypes of new auto
mobiles are highway-tested,
punished over washboard
roads, driven millions of
miles, and otherwise wrung
out before a model is re-
leased to the public. But the
big motor manufacturers
have failed to put these mod
ern monsters to the supreme
test. Why don't they see
how they'll stand up with a
parking lot or garage "jock-
ey" behind the wheel? If a
new car can survive the
rough handling of these
ramp-racerS, who can make
tires squeal like a stockyard
full of unhappy porkers, then
it is indestructible.
I've had tenders crumpled,
headlights shattered; bump
ers twisted, door hinges
sprung and tires shredded
and now the entire steering
assembly of my car has failed
to pass the parking lot test |!
Come on, Detroit, give us
cars that aren't just turn
pike-tested but can take it
from the teen-age terrorists
who roar the ramps and
grind the gravel!

show that may become rather common
place in the future. The experiment
proved the feasibility of sending bal
loon to great attitudes and initiating it
automatically. There was no attempt to
place this big ball in orbit. But within
a few months, perhaps, our rocket ex-
perts expect to send similar balloons far
into the sky, where they will become
satellites readily visible to the naked eye
under favorable conditions.
And the time no doubt will come

Reqrets-ond Good Wishes

1t is disappointing, of course, to lose
so impressive fight as Washington'S
boosters waged in an attempt to bring
tan Area. Nevertheless, we sincerely con-
graduate our chief rival, New York City,
on being chosen as the site for the big
exposition. Gov Rockefeller and Mayor
Wagner may rest assured that the Ma
TONS Capital will cooperate whole
heartedly in making the fair the success
1t undoubtedly will be.
There is some Solace for Washing
ton in the special mention which the
Presidents advisory group gave to our
efforts to get the fair and to our capacity
to stage such show. 1--WE have no lack
of confidence" the commission said, "in
the intentions or the ability of wash
ington's) proponents nor do we ques-
ton the merits of their proposal, either
in concept or otherwise" But the COM
mission felt that our city is more suited
to such permanent undertakings as the
National Cultural Center and similar
enduring institutions" We commend
the District Commissioners, the Metro
politan Washington Board of Trade and
the special exposition organization for
their good fight in behalf of Washington.
The only question as yet unresolved
now is the attitude of the International
Bureau Of ExpositionS Americas and
New York's bid for the 1864 fair will be
presented to the bureau when it meets
next week in Paris. The bureaus oppo-
sition could prevent any fair from being
truly worldwide in scope. Although the
United States is not a member of the
international body, we hope that the
bureau either will officially approve or,
at least, will not oppose the holding of
the 1864 exposition in New York.

Our Booming Libraries

A recent analysis of reading habits
by the Public Library of the District of
columbia has disclosed some interesting
findings. Foremost, perhaps, is a basic
conclusion that WaShingtonians are
reading more and more, as shown statis-
tlcally by the library'S circulation of
"a million books last year-an increase
OF lOO,36O over the previous 12-month
period. More than half the demand.
furthermore, was for nonfiction, in
t1eldS ranging from popular biography
TO the 1ntricacieS of quantum mathe-
mates.
Another finding may ease somewhat
the apprehensionS of the parents of
small children: TeleviSion so often
mal1gned as time-waster-haS proved
TO be an active stimulant to reading! Sew
eral years ago, in the early days of TV,
great dispute ragged among Librarians
over its effects. The experience here.
according to the report, is that many
specific requests" for books of all kinds
can be traced directly to TV and to
related entertainment media. Among
the younger group, the report said, an
increasing interest in science matches
"the dramatic upsurge" in adults de-
mandS for books in all scientific fields.
The other popular subject areas include
foreign affairs, sociological problems
and religion.
All of this is evidence of the potent
force which libraries are continuing to
exert in the life of our community. And
their wider use is a dramatic demon
stration of their ability to adapt to the
needs Of people in this modern age of
satellites, Sprawling metropolitan areas
and international strife.

schools are a valuable con-
tribution to knowledge. For
the first time the public was
given a detailed view of what
goes on in the public schools
Of this and most other Amer
lean communities. The pic
ture is frightening.
Despite the boasts and
promises Of the progressive
educators, we can see that
school children now learn
nothing well; especially in
regard to the basic instru-
ments-reading, writing and
arithmetic-which they will
have to use through life.
Fitting from subject to
subject in playground fash
ion, the children touch upon
a mass of unrelated facts
which they cannot digest.
They are asked to run before
they can walk, to discuss
world problems before they
can read or write well. Mean
while, during their most for
native years, they are losing
the opportunity to acquire
the discipline of staying with
a subject until they know it
well, or even how to study.
Because of this situation,
the speech of School Supt.
Carl Hansen before the
school personnel last week is
of vital Importance. DR..
Hansen's words reflect cour-
age and initiative of the
highest order. Following his
lead, Washington schools
could become first in the Ma
ton where most schools are
run by superintendent who
refuse to see that progress
Sive education, so called, is
robbing children of the OPP
portunity to acquire an ade-
quate education.
The battle, however, has
by no means been won. DR..
Hansen has raised the stand
ard, but his efforts will be
fought vigorously behind the
scenes by those whose philos-
ophies and special interests
are endangered. DR.. Hansen
will need a lot of moral sup
port in the coming months
and The Star is to be con-
graduated for what 1t has
already done.

Real Pro- Retires

It was fully in keeping with Robert
Murphy'S dedication to his Nations
service that he described his decision to
retire as an lawfully tough one to
make. For the practice of diplomacy at
It's highest plane of professional effec-
tiveneSS has been a way of life for Mr..
Murphy for nearly forty years. During
much of that time, particularly since
1910 when Mr.. Murphy was our Charge
d'Affaires in the captive capital of Vichy,
France, his assignments have been those
demanding not only the greatest Of
skills and diScernment but often phys
ical courage and hardihood to match.
The roles which he played in some
of the critical international episodes Of
the past twenty years-from his pre-
invasion negotiations in 1912 in North
Africa with the French Admiral Darlan
to his similar mission in Lebanon at the
time of American troop landings in that
country in 1958-Were as dramatic as
any adventure story in fiction. To Bob"
Murphy, however, they were merely part
of a career in which he applied vast
knowledge of people and of history to
the recurring crises of our times Pres
ident Eisenhower, whose own close aSso-
citation with Mr.. Murphy dates back to
1912, was not eXaggerating when he
wrote that the retiring career ambas-
sador-a rank equivalent to that denoted
by five stars in the military service
had well earned your unofficial title of
our number one 'trouble-shooter'.
AS he leaves his post of Undersecre-
tary of State for Political Affairs, Mr.
Murphy is entitled to "well done" in
the fullest meaning of that accolade.

1t would be amusing, if it

full, to see the Government of
the United States trembling
before the threats of a punk
like Fidel Castro, a man,
whose brother-in-law tells

a Havana gangster-m mob and
murdered a man to start out
his notorious life. 1t is one
thing to tear down a nation,
Fidel is finding out, and an
other to build UP a nation.
1t is one thing to cry out

to produce the wealth to heal
that poverty.

Stdssen in Trouble

Dame fortune has not smiled on
Harold StaSsen's political ventures in a
long, long time, and it looks as though
fate has nothing in store for him this
year except another frown.
AS Governor of Minnesota, Mr..
StaSsen enjoyed something of reputa-
ton as boy wonder. But in 1914, 1913
and 1852 he tried and failed to get the
Republican presidential nomination. In
1855 he tried and failed to torpedo the
Nixon vice presidential candidacy. Last
year he tried and failed to get the
G. o. P. gubernatorial nomination in
Pennsylvania Now he is trying to get
p himself elected on Tuesday as Repub-
lican Mayor of Philadelphia. And it
; looks as though he is going to fail
: again.
A beaming Mr.. StaSsen has been
conducting a free-wheeling and Wild
swinging campaign. But his Democratic
opposition has just hit him where, polit-
ically speaking, it hurts most. 1t claims
that for four years Mr.. StaSSen failed
to pay the Philadelphia tax on wages
a tax which other Philadelphia voters
have had to pay.
Mr.. Stassen's reaction to this COM
plant has been bit confusing. At first
he said, or was understood to say, that
he had paid the tax and would produce
receipts to prove it, Now he is con-
tending that the State constitution eX-
empted him from the tax because he
, was gin the service of my country"-aS
a $25 ,000-a-year disarmament adviser
. to President Eisenhower.
D.. We would not presume to express
. an opinion on the legal merits Of this
f. tax dispute. Politically speaking, how
. ever, it probably will put the finishing
, touches on the cooking of the StasSen
