Challenges Ruling
G. r. w.

Your paper recently car
ried a follow-up article on
the case of Roy r. Torcaso,
whose application for notary
public in Montgomery County
was turned down because he
was not a theiSt. Mr.. Tor
caso's plight represents the
continuing problem of def1n-
ing the separation of church
and state which should be
of great concern to every
American.
The ruling of Attorney
General Sybert, if left I'M
challenged. means that the
State of Maryland has the
right to demand a religious
test for Offices Of profit or
trust; l.e., that a. candidate
for such Offices has to have
a theistic faith. This is con-
Trajectory to our constitu-
tional guarantees. It is def
initely not the business of
the State to ask whether any
of its citizens are thesis or
humaniSts, let alone what
religious Affiliations they
have.
A mans right to work at
his chosen occupation, and
his worth as a citizen, should
not be determined by the
strength of his theism, or the
lack thereof. Rather, a man
should be judged on the
basis of his character, in
tegrity and sense of RESPONSE
bility to his family, COM
munity, State, Nation and
the world. I do not believe
that theism is a detriment to
public Office, but I do believe
that it should not be the
sole or determining qualifi-
cation for public trust.
I call upon both Senator
Northrop and Gov. Tawes,
who originally approved MIR.
Torcaso's appointment, to see
that appropriate legislation
is passed in Maryland to re-
move this final religious test
from the. constitution. I also
appeal to Representative Lee
and the citizenry of Mont
gomery County to lend their
support to this action.

Of Silver Spring.

Scales of Justice

The judge who sentenced a
small grocer to 80 days in jail
for shortweighing acted with
commendable vigor. TIL e
practice of shortweighing is
an ancient one and is in
Weighed against in Scripture,
as naturally it should have
been. 1t rifles the customer
and causes Ill feeling where
none should be.
The wife of the grocer told
the judge: IF you send him
to Jail, I don't know how I
can run the store by myself"
The judge replied: From the
testimony introduced today, I
don't think your store should
be run at all"
The Judge was right! ANY,
one who attempts to run a
neighborhood business in
these days of free-and-easy
holdupS is nuts. Perhaps the
grocer, cognizant of the risks,
or himself the victim Of past
robberies. was simply trying
to beat the game in his own
small way. Thus there may
be extenuating circumstances
in his case. Did the judge
consider that? Is the small
storekeeper getting the pro-
lection he deserves and needs
in this beautiful National
Capital?

The old saying has it that
a woman is as old as she
looks and a man as old as
he feels.
One good way for the geri-
atric male to test himself is
to watch his hands.
Do the fingers want to
make motions of their own?
If they do, then one had
better watch out, for this is
certainly one of the signs of
old people.
At its extreme, it manifestS
itself in what is called pill
rolling" This, unfortunately,
Is a sign of a serious disease.
We recall watching one old
white-haired gentleman on
the bus years ago.
He started rolling one
thumb around, the other the
moment he sat down, and
never stopped until he got up
to get off.
A watcher became fasci-
mated at the sight, and slight

Waving the index finger is
another sign of something or
other.
This may be done Violent
ly. or gently, as if directing a
hidden orchestra.
Its counterpart, among the
fair sex. is to necessarily fix
the hair.
This calls for prodding and
pushing the hair, particular
ly at the back, by pulling up
non-existent wisps, and ar
ranging already properly ar
ranged locks.
A bus is a good place to
watch this, for somehow
women seem to think their
hair-do is all wrong there.
1t may suit at home, but
once they get aboard the bus,
the arrangement evidently
strikes them as very bad.

Scratching sunburned arms
is another sign.
And probably not a good
one.

SoIltes FondohI

An article by Sam Eastman
July 26 regarding the retire.
ment of Col. John E. Fon-
dahl, director of Civil Defense
for the District Of Columbia,
correctly stated, "Mr. Fon-
dahl's Civil Defense service
has not been entirely serene"
But those troublesome days
should not be charged to Col.
Fondahl. I am well acquaint-
ed with Col. Fondahl and If
man-hours and devotion to
duty mean anything, he
should be given a medal. He
applies more time to his job
than any other employee Of
my acquaintance in the
District.
Justified budgets for his
Office are drastically cut each
year. "hamstringing" the
operations and hurting effici-
ency of his Office.
Col. Fondahl started from
scratch and came up with an
excellent plan for the pop
ulation of the District. The
stupendous task of directing
civil defense operations for
almost a million people is not
an easy assignment, particu-
larly when great numbers of
these people believe they are
better qualified to operate the
Civil Defense Office than this
honorable, hard g. working.
seasoned and well-informed
public servant. In my book
he has what it takes -
determination"
The unnecessary Senate in
vestigation did reveal the
inadequacy Of funds for the
operation of a Civil Defense
Office during the past several
years, and too, this Senate's
investigation should not and
would not have been brought
into focus had the justified
budget been approved for the
employment of proper per-
sonnet for the operation of
the Civil Defense Office. The
term mismanagement is a
vicious accusation, and if
there is any mismanagement,
in my opinion. it should start
several echelons above the
echelon in which Col. Fon-
dahl is employed. May he
retire in peace and enjoy a
well-deserved retirement.

OF special significance. DR..
Ketchum points out, is the
role Of the sea plants In
concentrating dangerous ra-
dioactive materials, from
waste dumped in the oceans.
Many fear permanent con-
tamination.
So far as the water is con-
cerned, the Woods Hole in
vestigations show, there is
little to fear.
THE ocean," says DR..
Ketchum, sis one of the least
radioactive environments in
the world today. A large fish
living at 800 feet in the depth
OF the sea receives only
about a seventh the natural
radiation that a man living
on a granite mountain does.
Every man on a ship at the
sea surface receives only a
quarter Of the radiation Of
our mountain dwelling indi-
vidual. Centuries, combined
with very foolish practices,
would be required before the
radioactivity of sea water
could be raised to a level
which would be of direct
menace to man."

look becomes quite different

plant life is considered. These

mentS are present in the wa
ter. Thus they themselves
may become many, many
times more radioactive than
the surrounding water.
The hot" plants are eaten
by smaller sea animals which
in turn are eaten by the fish
which are food for man. The
process. he points out, could
result in a far higher con-
centration of radioactive ele-
ments in sea life as a whole.
At present. he emphasizes.
knowledge of the whole field
is very incomplete. The
problem calls for intensified
research over all the seas in
the world. This research is
an essential part of the
Woods Hole program.
