Phony Voting Rights

In his 1854 state the Union mes
sage President Eisenhower said that I'm
the District of Columbia, the time is
long overdue for granting national suf-
frage to its citizens and also applying
the principle of local Self-government."
In his 1858 budget message he favored
the right of people here to vote in
national elections and to elect local
officials. So it is surprising that in his
Wednesday press conference the Presi-
dent, while Pumping for local terri
torial form of government, said he had
not supported constitutional amend
ment as a means of comforting voting
rights, although his mind is not CLOSED
to it."
Most lawyers agree that the only
way to get meaningful national suffrage
rights for Washingtonians-the rights
of voting for President, Vice President
and for representatives in CongresS-is
through constitutional amendment. The
Constitution gives such rights only to
the people of a State, and the District
is not State. The amendment would
give Congress a power that the Consti-
tuition does not now confer, to grant
Washingtonians national suffrage.
The President, unfortunately, is for
the time being preoccupied with a ter
ritorial form of government for the
District. But neither the Presidents
territorial form of government nor other
home rule proposals would provide vot-
ing rights worth hill of beans. Both
would tend to injure the concept of
Washington as the Nations city, and
imperil it's future development as such.
While both are sometimes described as
stepping stones" toward national SUI
frage, there is no good reason to believe
that either would lead in any direction
save backward.
The President, we are sure, is ear
nest in his desire to see voting rights
for American citizens who live in Wash
ington. But these should be real, not
phony, voting rights. Real voting rights
would benefit the people of this city.
Purely local voting rights would give
them no helpful advantages and would
tend to retard the things so urgently
needed now in this Federal City and its
Metropolitan Area.

VANGUARD and Weather

1t is immensely gratifying that
Project Vanguard, after many heart
breaking Illustrations, has at last sue
ceeded in putting into orbit the first of
It's full-Scale earth satellites. Of course,
compared with others that have been
sent up by both our own country and
the Soviet Union, this latest of man
made moons is physically small thing
measuring a mere 20 inches in diam
eter and weighing only 2112 pounds.
But it is nonetheleSS carrying out a
highly significant mission never before
undertaken.
Thus, as it loops around our globe
at attitudes ranging from about 335 to
over 1000 miles, this Vanguard moon
let-which may remain in orbit for
centurieS-iS pioneering in the still
mysterious field of meteorology. 1t is
doing so by virtue of the fact that its
relatively sophisticated" equipment is
designed to send back TO us messages

No Place to Hide

The analysis of WaShington'S civil
defense problem, just submitted to Con-
greSs, repeatedly cost 100000. This
money has been we'll spent if the CEN
trail teaching of this study is taken to
heart-namely, that there will be no
such thing as civil defense in target
city in the missile age.
An ICBM armed with hydrogen
warhead would reach Washington about
Is minutes after it had been launched
from a base in the Soviet Union. 1t
would be a Enthusiastically destructive
weapon. And under the most favorable
conditions our warning time would be
something less than Is minutes.
Obviously, in these circumstances,
the concept of city evacuation is out.
There won't be enough time, to mention
but one reason. The study also con-
sidered building shelters in the city.
The Districts daytime population could
be accommodated" in 977 shelters built
600 feet underground. Such project
would cost about half billion dollars
They would have to be sealed off in
event of attack, and with five to ten
minutes warning how many people
would be able to reach them before
they were closed? And suppose the
attack should come at night.
The conclusion, we think, is obvious.
In the misSile-nuclear age, there is no
place to hide. The people in target cities
simply will have to take it.

Cross Fire on Buduet

Administration hopes Tor balanced
budget in fiscal 1860, already endangered
by higher spending proposals on Capitol
Hill, are now under fire on a second
front. Chairman Mills of the House
Ways and Means Committee has an
nounced his opposition, at the present
time, to administration recommends
tions for increases in motor and aviation
fuel taxes. The net loss to estimated
general revenues could run close to $500
million in the coming year.
In the case of the motor fuel tax,
which the administration would raise
from 3 cents to Az cents per gallon, the
extra revenue was estimated at about
$700 million in the first year. While
this would be earmarked for the High
way Trust Fund, projected bodybuilding
expenditures are set at more than $240
million above current inUome-a mar
gin that might have to be made up out
of general funds if the tax increase is
denied. The budget counted on another
ISL million, for general fund purposes,
from the proposed aviation fuel tax
increases.
Mr.. Mills based his opposition on
grounds outside budget considerations.
A congressional study of costs and A.
nancing of the giant interstate highway
program has been directed, but will not
be completed until the end of 1860.
Other studies of national transportation
policy, which will bear upon Govern
ment treatment of commercial aviation
as well as other transport media, like
wise have been authorized The Ar
kansas Democrat, whose influence in
the drafting of revenue legislation is
great, contends that these fuel tax
reviSionS should await completion of the
studies. AS expected, opposition to the
proposed increases already has been
voiced by the special interests most di-
rectly affected.
These are not, of course, the only
threats to the administration revenue
calculations. Current corporation in
come and excise rates probably will be
extended, as asked, but chances are less
certain for several other recommends
tionS to increase revenues. In recent
weeks, President Eisenhower and other
administration spokesman have been
pushing their fight to curb expenditures
They are faced now with the prospect
of also doing battle over their revenue
raising plans. The prospects can hardly
be considered bright.

We'll Done on Cyprus

The accord signed in London on the
Cyprus problem represents a negotiated
compromise of many valid interests. AS
such, it may not be an instrument of
perfection in the eyes of any one party.
1t is doubtful, if not impossible, that
any such instrument could be devised
without so offending leSS-favored inter
eStS that continued strife on the island
would be assured, and that such
structure of Western unity as the NATO
would be dangerously weakened.
Precise details of the compact are
to be released at later date Salient
points, however, are those negotiated
at Zurich earlier this month by Prime
Ministers KaramanliS of Greece and
MendereS of Turkey-and concurred in
now by Prime Minister Macmillan of
Great Britain, Archbishop MakarioS and
DR.. Fail Kutchuk. The latter two are
leaders of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot
factions, respectively In brief, the terms
would give Cyprus status of indie
government headed by Greek Cypriot
and with an Assembly divided 70-30 per
cent between Greek and Turkish rep
resentation. Political union with Greece,
a long-Standing aspiration, would be
banned. So would partition, an alter
native favored more recently by Tur-
key. Britain would retain military base
rights, still considered vital to the Com
monwealth and to NATO as we'll
There is credit enough in this Solu-
ton for all to share. Mr. Karamanlis,
in particular, deserves an extra tribute
for persuading Archbishop Makarios to
modify his laSt-minute objections, and
the Greek Parliament should applaud
the strong craftsmanship displayed by
their chief of government Ankara
should be comparably approving of the
contribution made by Prime Minister
Menderes, especially against the back
ground of the air tragedy which cost
the lives of so many of his associates
on this mission of craftsmanship For
Mr.. Macmillan, about to leave for Mos
cow, the agreement reflects once again
the British capacity for honorable and
responsible adjustment to the changing
times.

about cloud patterns all over the earth.
In turn, assuming that enough Of them
are received, these messages will give
man valuable new insight, an insight
heretofore unavailable, into the nature
of weather and its many caprices
But this constitutes only crude
beginning. AS the current year ages,
Vanguard'S sleek rocket and other mis-
siles will be fired to launch additional
satellites on additional DRIFTING mete-
geological missions. The instrumental
ton will be more advanced with each
new firing. Some months from now, for
example, one of these magical vehicles
is expected to blast off with television
devices that will photograph the earth's
cloud cover, and transmit the pictures
to us, with far more clarity than has
been thought to be possible up to now.
AS a practical matter, what does all
this mean? Perhaps the best answer has
come from Dr. Francis w. Reichelderfer,
chief Of the United States Weather Blu
reau. In his opinion, satellites like the
one just sent aloft by Vanguard promise
"the most revolutionary advances in the
history of the science of meteorology."
In nonmilitary terms, according to the
experts, these advances may eventually
be worth billions of dollars annually to
the American economy, and their mill
tary value could also be very great. That
is why the Vanguard moonlet is far big
ger in significance than its own physical
dimensions.

Drivers VS.. Walkers

The Districts traffic safety
officer states that many
persons are killed because of
the unequal odds of pedestri-
ans against cars, and the
motorists failure to recog-
nize the pedestrians right
of way in a crosswalk,
whether it is painted or not.
1 claim that very few driv-
ers know that they should
give the pedestrian the right
of way when the pedestrian
is in a crosswalk at an inter-
section not controlled by
light. To them, the right of
way simply means that. you
are not supposed to hit the
pedestrian. AS for stopping,
who knows that you are sup
posed to stop? Bus drivers do
not know it, streetcar con-
ductors do not know it, de-
livery truck drivers do not
know it, most hackers do not
know it, the average driver
in the Washington area does
not know it. In general, no
one seems to know it.
The few good drivers who
do know that they are sup
posed to stop are scared to
do so for fear of being
bumped by the car behind or
cursed by drivers as they
Swerve around.

Tits With Lawrence

David Lawrence misquotes
our Constitution in his COL
umn of February 3, Int
grafton and the Constitu-
ton" To advance his argu-
mentS against the legality of
the Fourteenth Amendment,
he states:
But did the people ever
ratify the Fourteenth
Amendment by the method
prescribed by the ConStitu-
tion-namely, by two-thirds
Of both houses of Congress
and three-fourths of the
States, either through their
legislatures or constitutional
conventions?"
If the Constitution read
as Mr.. Lawrence quotes it,
he might have some better
basis for his argument that
the answer is NO" and
therefore the Amendment is
illegal. However, Article v of
the Constitution reads:
The Congress, whenever
two-thirds of both houses
shall deem it necessary, shall
propose Amendments to this
Constitution, or, on the ap-
plication of the legislatures
of two-thirds of the several
States, shall call a Conven-
ton for proposing amend
mentS which, in either case,
shall be valid to all intents
and purposes, as part of this
Constitution. when ratified
by the legislatures of three
fourths of the several States,
or by conventions in three
fourths as the one or other
mode of ratification may be
proposed by the Congress. :"
Profs. Kelly and Harbi-
son. in 1.-THE American Con-
stitution." have this to say
about the ratification of the
Fourteenth Amendment:
The Amendment passed
both houses in its final form
on June IS, 1866. The re-
quired three-fourths of the
States had ratified by June
1868 and it was proclaimed
the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution on July

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
please don't pay any at
tention to the person who
wrote you to the effect that
he is slightly tired of the ar
ticleS about birds.
Il want to say, and I think
many agree with me, that the
bird articles are best of all
and am glad you have writ
ten them all, and hope you
will write many more.
80 many people who write
about birds put on airs, but
you never put on airs, you
are just a plain simple hu-
man being who, like the rest
of us, has found something
interesting.
"One of the main gains
suburban people discover for
themselves in moving from
the city is bird life. OF
course, there were birds there,
too, but so many more in the
new places.
X 4 +
"Those awful descriptions
of birds in the books
Who cares how many
feathers a certain species has
to distinguish it from others,
all I want to know is what
bird is that, and something
about it.
You give us the birds as
things to be interested in and
to love, not things to dissect.
80 l am all for you and
your bird articles. I am glad
you have many strings to
your bow, but please never
stop writing about the birds.
because you make us see
them in a new and better
light.
