Stitch in Time

1t is difficult to gauge the serious
ness Of the incidents, some with racial
overtones, which have flared up recently
IN Southeast Washington. And certainly
their significance should not be exag-
gerated.
Nevertheless, it seems to us that the
police are doing the right thing and the
sensible thing by moving in quickly and
firmly to take control of the situation
before, and not after, it gets out of hand.
According to Inspector John E.
Winters of the Police Departments
youth aid division, tension has been
building up for the past 10 days or two
weeks. There have been assaults on
both white and colored children while
going to and from school and there have
also been reports of threatened gang
fights. Inspector Winters says, further
more, that not all the trouble is due to
school children. Our investigators,
he added, have found that some of the
agitation is racial and that students
have been provoked by adults"
Whatever the precise significance
Of this, it is suggestive of situation
which calls for determined measures
right now. 1t would be foolish not to
take preventive action while it can still
be effective.

Virqinio's Blue Law

The police charges against two
Alexandria drug stores for making
Sunday sales in violation of State law
are the latest of series of such cases
which emphasize need for some new
rules to guide both merchants and
police.
BY law, as we'll as long established
custom, most stores are closed on Sum
days. The so-called Virginia "blue law"
enacted originally in 1779, limits legal
Sunday sales to commodities which are
necessary" to the community welfare.
The difficulty, however is that the law
even today does not specifically define
what it means by necessary" and the
term might we'll be interpreted 10 diff
ferent ways by 10 different men. In
practice, therefore, the law is invoked
largely on basis Of complaints against
merchants and decisions are left to the
courts.
In the recent Alexandria cases, the
druggists were charged with illegally
selling sport shirt and an electric corn
pepper. These items can hardly be
construed as necessary" under any
definition. And the protests Of other
merchants, who themselves want to sell
sport shirts and corn-poppers but are
closed on Sundays-certainly are under
standable. Since such restrictions
apply, they should be enforced in a
manner fair to everyone. But who is to
say precisely what is and what is not
essential among the variety Of goods
which may be offered for sale?
The Arlington County Board re-
Gently appointed an advisory commits
sion to suggest a list of items which
might reasonably be considered "neceS-
Sary," and thereby legally salable.
This seems to us to be one sensible
approach, which might we'll be conSid-
cred by other Northern Virginia juriS-
dictions. The ultimate problem, how
ever, is legislative one. If Virginia
wants such law as this, its legislature
should clarity its meaning so that it
doesn't become an enforcement hodge
podge at the local level.

An Executive Responsibility

Two Hoover commissions have
stressed the need for better presidential
supervision and control of what they
termed Federal personnel manage
ment." Both reorganization reports
recommended creation of an Office of
personnel in the White House, with
authority to maintain and strengthen
the merit system and to keep the PreSi-
dent advised of all problems arising
from Government employment. So the
administration decision to support
legislation setting up personnel Office
through which the President would
exercise direct control of the civil serv-
ice system is not so drastic as it might
seem.
The first Hoover commission pointed
out that the merit system had suffered
because of the lack Of close liaison be-
tween the White House and the bipar-
tisan Civil Service Commission. The
report said that since the President is
responsible for all employment in the
Executive establishment, he should be
indirect touch with civil service policies
and programs. The second commission
suggested making the chairman of the
csc the Presidents principal adviser on
personnel matterS-and this suggestion
was adopted during Philip Youngs
service as csc chairman. Mr. Young
divided his time between the commits
sion and the White House, where he
was given Office space. The liaiSon has
become very tenuous, however, since
the departure of Mr.. Young from the
commission
This liaison inadequacy is correctly
described by White House personnel
aide Rocco Siciliano as a major def
cheney" He told the Public Personnel
Association: 1.-THE Civil Service Com
mission has not had continuing direct
contact with the President and his staff.
It-haS been overburdened with its semi
judicial and other functions which are
separate, really, from the leadership
function" Mr.. Siciliano said the Presi-
dent has decided to support the Clark
bill to transfer civil service Leadership"
functions from the CSC to White
House division created for that purpose.
The commission, of course, would con-
tinue its semijudicial handling of en-
ploye complaints and its other routine
functions.
!. Under any such reorganization,
however, care would have to be taken
to- avoid any mingling of the merit
system and patronage. They do not
mix-and it would be a mistake to
include any presidential patronage
adviser in the staff of the proposed
civil service personnel Office.

the increase of taxes on
small investment property
owners, first by increased as
seSsments and in the future by
the proposed increase in real

business tax, will force them
either to increase rents to a
