The favorable report by Senate
Judiciary subcommittee on the handl1ng
of delinquency in District schools is IN
pleasant contrast to the criticism voiced
by the same subcommittee only year
ago. At that time school authorities
were having a difficult time trying to
control juvenile hoodlumiSm and main
tain orderly classes for children with
the capacity and desire to learn. 1t was
necessary to expel some incorrigibleS,
creating for this group schooling prob
lem then unSolved. Similar conditions
still prevail in many other cities, the
subcommittee found.
Last fall, however, a special Boys
Junior Senior High School was estao-
lished here for just such school-age
delinquentS. There are today about 50
BOYS attending classes at this school,
under instruction of teachers carefully
chosen for the difficult assignment.
Students who have been disturbing nor
NAL class routine in the regular schools
are sent to the special school, which is
housed at Randall Junior High School.
In addition, there are more than score
of adjustment classes" in the elemen-
tary and junior high schools, for pupils
not of the incorrigible type. Psycholo-
giStS and other specialists from the
Health Department are cooperating
with the teachers. in the adjustment
and rehabilitation work.
These effective steps in the program
to restore and maintain order in the
hou "a tim
of Chairman HenningS Of the Senate
judiciary subcommittee and his fellow
members. The group reported: de
spite many shortages in the school
system in terms of lack Of funds
and lack of trained personnel, the sub
committee must in all sincerity COM
mend the District school system for
having met crisis situation intelli-
gently and for having in such short
period of time come up with what we
feel to be one of the most sound ap-
proacheS we have seen to handling
delinquency within the schools" The
subcommittee would like to have Wash
ington set an example for other cities,
in many of which conditions have
worsened.
However, the shortages to which the
subcommittee referred have hampered
the system in its efforts to make even
better progress. Budget requests have
been made for additional psychologists,
pSychiatriStS and other specialized per-
sonnet to improve and expand the anti
delinquency program. We hope Con-
gress viii take Senator HenningS' advice
and apply sober thought and judy
ment" to these requestS-bearing in
mind the good that already has been
accomplished with inadequate funds
and staff.

A total ban on nuclear testing Is
something that can be much more easily
proposed than put into effect on a genu-
inely trustworthy basis The latest re-
hinder Of this has Just been voiced by
Democratic Representative Chef Holt
field OF California. And what he has
had TO say on the subject certainly
deserves the most careful attention as
Anglo American-Soviet negotiators con-
tinue TO strive at Geneva-with little
perceptible succession meeting Of
minds on how best to put an end to all
military types of experimental atomic
hydrogen detonations.
The point made by Mr.. Holifield is
simply this: That 1t would be a tragic
mistake, a mistake full Of enormously
dangerous potentialities, II Britain and
the United States we're to agree with
the Soviet Union on a test ban that
excluded "the great land mass Of Red
China" In other words, Mr.. Holifleld,
speaking as one of the most experienced
members of the Joint Congressional
Atomic Committee, has plainly indi-
Gated that his own view, and the view
of the committee as whole, Is that
Peiping itself, as well as Moscow, would
have to be party to the agreement-and
to the agreements policing system-be-
fore our country could go along with any
kind of serious limitation or prohibition
Of nuclear experimentation.
In June Of last year, John Foster
Dulles, then Secretary Of State, made
essentially the same point. Thus, as he
said at that time, an effective ban would
require inspection posts with some mo-
bility not only in the Soviet Union but
also on the mainland of China and other
areas of that Sort We would not want
to have a situation where the SovietS
merely move their testing into neigh
boring territory :. beyond control or
check" True, it may be argued that the
Kremlin, taking suspicious long-range
view of possible Chinese designs on
places like Siberia, might actually wish
to avoid nuclear cooperation with Pei
ping. But such speculation, no matter
how plausible it may seem, does not rule
out the fact that the West must reckon
most seriously with the danger OF clan
destine Russian detonations carried out
behind the Chinese Communist bamboo
curtain.
It is because of the reality OF this
danger that Representative Holitield has
spoken out as he has, just as Mr.. Dulles
did last June. There are many reasons,
of course, why the United States should
be extremely heSitant about asserting TO
an about testing ban, but one OF the
greatest of these is Peiping's position In
the situation. Certainly, If Red China is
not to be subject to the proposed bans
policing arrangements, our country
ought to wash its hands of the whole
business.

They Can Still Serve

The American Legion is serving in

the Nations attention to serious waste
of experienced manpower in this era Of

definitely on youth in choosing job appli-

themselves of the services of older men
with training and skills Of substantial
value in the field of competitive industry.
The extent of this neglect of vital
resource is evident from statistics COM
piled by the Department of Labor. The

To Avert a Crisis

The House, on the sound advice Of
its Appropriations Committee, has acted
realistically in voting to continue Fed
eral aid in the amount of $85 million to
'impacted" schools in the Washington
Metropolitan Area, for the sudden effort
by the budget authorities to cut off the
funds had precipitated an incipient
financial crisis in the jurisdictions con-
cerned
AS the committee pointed out, school
budgets in the counties and towns af-
fected had been based on the asSump-
ton that the usual Federal funds would
be available to aid the communities in
meeting extra classroom burdens i'm
posed by Government expansion. This
growth is continuing, but Federal aid
cannot be expected to go on indefinitely
and the time has doubtless come when
a program of gradual reduction should
be begun.
Congress, as matter Of justice to
overburdened school systems this year,
should grant the impact" aid to nearby
Jurisdictions and to any other areas
which still deserve. such assistance.
Meanwhile, the committee is right in
suggesting that the whole question of
need be reStudied with a view to pos
sible revision to remove, or considerably
reduce, the entitlements of school dis
tricts in areas where it is highly ques-
tionable that the Federal activities have

Not effort, but intelligence,
is the ultimate measure Of
survival values, and this
applies to international rival
rieS. Sacrifice versus extraV-
agance presents false alter
natives in our contest with
Soviet strategy and with the
rest of the worlds overcrowd-
ing populations. \
Secretary McElroy and The
Star, too, are elementally
mistaken in the assumption
that results can be produced
by budgetary ALLEGATIONS, so
that we must ape Russian
policies in this field of com
petition" The second best"
it is alleged. is a matter Of
= cost, not of value, in the
determination of the out
come; that is, cost equals
value.
If we, or Russia, or both,
stick to this theory that what
we spend by government ac-
ton determines what we viii
accomplish, the contest will
be resolved by the extent to
which each nation actually
develops such a public policy.
Here the second best" will
triumph, for, as in all COM
petitive situations, economy
succeeds because it reduces,
instead of enlarging, invest
ment in attaining a given
result.
The objective Of enemy"
strategy must always be to
produce a wooden horse that
leads the other side into ex-
travagance and bankruptcy;
and no field is more suScepti-
BILE to such extravaganza
than education wherein state
policy displaces parental deci-
sions backed UP by parental
budgeting.

Club Politics?

In contrast to the unconcealed
maneuvering going on among potential
Democratic presidential nominees, their
opposite numbers in the Republican
Party have been playing hard to get.
This is largely due, Of course, to differing
circumstances.
The Democrats have no individual
with clear claim upon the party's
favor, but they have large delega-
ton with reasonable and varying quail
if1cations. Their twice beaten "titular
leader" Adlai Stevenson, has said he Is
not candidate but he has not said he
would reject another nomination. Sen
ators Kennedy, Humphrey and Syming-
ton are acting like eager men. Gov
errors Meyner, Williams and Brown are
seeing that their availability is not for
gotten. In his own way, Senate Majority
Leader johnson is doing likewise. With
SO many entries, it could be dangerous
to be left at the starting gate-a prime
reason for the early jockeying.
On the Republican track, the Situa-
ton is different. Prior to last Novem-
ber's elections, Vice President Nixon
alone seemed to have the national stat
ure required. His qualifications, notably
his experience and skill in politics, have
not by any means diminished since then,
and unof1cial samplings of sentiment
indicate he is still the front runner.
Aside from saying he will not run
again for Vice President, Mr.. Nixon
has been jocularly noncommittal in pub
lie about what he will run for. But Mr..
Nixon now has challenger, potential
If not avowed, and formidable one, in
Governor Rockefeller of New York.
Up to now, Mr.. Rockefeller has been
neither communicative nor jocular about
possible national aspirations. He has
been seriously and successfully preoc-
cupied with his job in Albany. Against
this background, it is interesting, to say
the least, that Mr.. Rockefeller has &C
cepted an invitation to dine and to speak
at the Capitol Hill Cuba Republican
social center of Nationwide working
political membership-next month. Mr..
Rockefeller has declined other speaking
engagements which might have put him
on a national stage, and he has been
quoted as saying that mo significance"
should be attached to this one. Possibly
not, but the occasion will present oppor-
tunity for an intimate and careful first
hand look at the Governor by select
party audience. And, "Smoke-f1lled" or
not, the clubs cozy quarters could be an
appropriate setting for launching pres
idential campaign. ia

How Not to Conform

In recent years there has
been a growing liberal con-
formity to the ideal Of nom
conformity. II there is any
thing q nonconformist hates.
it's another nonconformist
who does not conform to the
current standard of noncon-
formity.
The other day q 'beatnik"
acquaintance aof mine ex-
pressed his nonconformity by
a shaggy-dog haircut. This
'misbarbered fellow was rath-
er irritated when I suggested
that to be a really noncon-
forming nonconformist, he
could wear q pigtail!
1t seems to me that boards
are becoming entirely too
common to properly identify
the nonconformist. Boards
are now orthodox. Therefore,
1 propose that the modish
nonconformist should wear
half q beard. And, depending
on ones politics, either the
left or the right side Of the
face will be smooth-shaven.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL

when removed the next
MORNING, the water will be
found at about the same
temperature as the night be-
fore, with perhaps q drop Of
2 degrees, usually no more.
Guppies are hardy, for
tropicals, and usually do not
develop the fungus disease
that often comes to less
hardy tropical fishes, such as
the angel fishes.
Allowing the water to go
down too far, however, with
guppies, may develop this
trouble. so the thing to do
is to see to it that there is
no sudden decline in water
temperature.
1t must be remembered
that in nature, which one is
trying to initiate, the water
of streams does not 60 down
quickly, all of a sudden, but
takes many hours for q grad
ual decline.
To this sort of gradual
drop many fishes are &C
climated, and especially the
little guppy, which can stand
pretty cool water in nature.
AS for the use Of q pump,
this is not essential, provided
one has managed to establish
a balanced aquarium.
The balanced aquarium is
one in which plants, water,
fishes and oxygen are so re-
lated that one helps the
other.
In other words, balancedl
The water is clear as crys-
tai, the inmates do not gasp
for air because the plants
supply them enough oxygen,
as it is called.
In this sort Of aquarium,
no mater its size, the owner
has perfection in little. The
water does not have to be
changed for months, even
years. except for a necessary
addition now and then to
make up for evaporation.
The water. when lifted in
tumbler, is literally as clear
as glass.
All this takes real effort
on the part Of the owner,
mainly in using a dip tube to
keep the sand free from
ejecta and particles Of de-
caying food.
If plants and fishes are
happy with each other, the
enthusiast has a happy
aquarium. 1t is that SIM
and that delightful.

On the other is the question:

a Chief Executive again and

sire him IN ofice2
WashlnEtOn's Precedent
Coming down from the days
Of the FIRST President, George
Washington, there has been
an unwritten law that no man
should have more than two
terms in the White House. In
1910, President Franklin d.
Roosevelt decided to buck
this unwritten law, and his
Democratic supporters went
along with him-with some
exceptions like Vice Presi-
dent Jack Garner and POST
master General Jim Farley.
Mr.. Roosevelt was elected to
a third term and to a fourth
term, despite the strong feel
ing in some quarters that no
man should hold the office
for more than two four-year
terms.
The feeling against a third
or fourth term for a Presi-
dent was revived, and the
Twenty-second Amendment
was adopted. There had been
suspicion that Mr.. Roose-
welt would have been willing
to go on to a fifth term had
he not died soon after his
election to a fourth term.
This feeling had been strong
enough, before F.D.R., to
maintain the two-term ira
dition. President Grant was
reported DESTROYS of a third
term, and President Theodore
Roose sought what
amounted to a third term in
1912-four years after he
had left the White House.
The argument against the
Twenty-second Amendment
is that the people can always
put an end to an adminiStra-
ton by their vote. On the
other hand, when q man is
in the White House he has
a tremendous weapon - his
great powers and influence
through patronage and favors
of all kinds-to renominate
himself for the presidency
and to have himself re-
elected. The fear is that after
long power, q President might
really become q dictator.
At present, it appears that
repeal Of the two term
amendment is going to be .
tough job in any mans lam
guage.
