The court action was taken
by the Government against the

the owners had let the logging

Fairfax County was ready with

the money was deposited.

We've been expecting the
Government to act for almost
a year." Mr.. Luchs said. "Final-
ly, when this lumber firm con-
tacted us, we decided to cut
down some Of the big trees. We
didn't see any real harm in 1t
since the road builders would
be knocking down most of them
with bulldoZerS anyway"
Mr.. Luchs emphasized, how
ever, that he in no way had
intended to prod the Govern
ment into action. But he said
he was interested to see how
fast the Government can act II
1t wants to.
The tract is located along
the Potomac River between the
Central Intelligence Agency
site and the new Circum-
ferentlal highway near the
Cabin John Bridge. The ex-
tended parkway will tie In with
the Circumferential highway.
I'VE felt that the logging
work there would be extremely
detrimental to the parkway"
Mr.. Shear said. I'VE, therefore,
expedited the taking Of the
property in order to stop it,"
However, an order signed by
Alexandria Federal Judge Al

owners seven days in which Il

For Sofety-Not Revenue

Maryland's Tidewater Fisheries
Commission is on the right track in pre-
pairing boat-control program that, I'M
like legislative proposals defeated at the
past General Assembly session, would
emphasize safety rather than revenue
possibilities. If Maryland is to take adj
vantage Of the opportunity under the
new Federal Boating Act to regulate
small boats within It's borders, the next
Assembly ought to pass a licensing law
designed to save lives, not to bolster the
general fund of the State treasury.
Under proposed legislation at the
recent legislative session, fees from the
licensing of small boats would have been
used for many non-nautical purposes,
instead of being earmarked for projects
to improve navigation, provide harbors
and otherwise benefit those who paid
the fees. Strong opposition to such a
diversion of license revenues came from
boating organizations and other groups
and led to defeat of the legislation. We
hope the next Legislature will pass
boat-control measure that will not only
help to reduce the number of accidents
on the water but will play at least a
small part in improving the waterways
in the State.

Hold the Fair Here

II q worlds fair Is to be held In the
United States in 1864, It ought to be
held In Washington more reasons
than one. The most persuasive point in
favor Of our city, Of course, is that 1t is
the Nations Capital, and one of the
worlds most beautiful capitals, at that.
But consideration also should be given
to the fact that sponsors Of the proposed
local exposition have done a vast
amount Of preliminary planning and
negotiating and have been given the
impression that their bid for the fair
has an excellent chance Of being
approved.
It is a distinct jolt, therefore, to
learn that Senator Javits and Repre-
sentative Kelly, both of New York, have
just introduced resolutions to designate
New York City as the site Of the 1864
fair. Under the identical measures,
President Eisenhower would be author
lied to invite foreign nations to particle
pate In the New York show, which would
commemorate the 300th anniversary Of
the city's founding. AS District Com
missioner Mclaughlin has pointed out,
group Of civic leaders here and hrm
Of consultants In New York have been
working quietly for more than year
on plans for bringing the fair to WASH
ington. These men have been encour-
aged by the reception their proposal has
met In high quarters, including the State
Department and the International Bu-
reau Of Expeditions in Paris.
Mr.. Mclaughlin stated the case for
Washington effectively, we think, when
he declared that this city is generally
recognized as the capital of the free
world as well as Of America and that the
1864 fair should be "a truly national
exposition, representing the country as
whole, and not local or regional
affair, primarily promoting the interests
Of any given community"
