Housing Court

Agreement by Chief Judge Walsh to
create, in effect, a single housing court"
within the District Municipal Court to
hear all housing code and related Of
lenses is an important step forward in
the city's fight on Slums. The result
should be advantageous both to admin
iStrative enforcement officials and to
the courts.
Under the present system, violations
of the housing code, the coming code and
other ordinances dealing with human
habitation are sandwiched haphazardly
between criminal cases on the crowded
court docket. Witnesses, including over
worked housing inspectors, often have
to wait long periods, wasting hours of
valuable time. Judges, faced with va
riety of more urgent matters, often are
tempted to relegate the housing cases
to the nuisance category. This kind of
system makes it virtually impossible to
focus public attention on housing code
enforcement and undermines efforts to
deal adequately with fragrant and per-
siStent violations of the Codes

than four years ago in the so-called
RouSe-Keith report on SlumS in Wash

mediate steps be taken to set up hous-
ing court. This report cited the expert
ence in Baltimore, where that citys
housing court has played a major role
in stimulating public interest in the
value of code enforcement.
Only recently, however, have the
Commissioners asked the court to take
similar steps here, and Judge Walsh has
responded with a plan which should be
completely satisfactory. The cases in
question, under his plan, all will be heard
by the judge sitting in the Landlord and
Tenant Branch of the court. The docket
of this branch is not crowded. For the
first time, therefore, these cases should
receive the attention they deserve.

Let En- Eat G e'-Outside

We do not believe that "home rule"
in Washington as defined in pending
bills is wise or workable and we have
stated time and again our reasons for
that point of view.
But we join the advocates of home
rule in protesting the refusal by Chair
man Davis to move his subcommittee
hearings on home rule bills into a more
commodiouS chamber for the accommo-
dation of as many as possible of the citi-
zens who go to the Capitol to attend the
hearings. Most of them were left stand
ing in the corridors yesterday, unable to
get inside the small committee room.
We doubt that members of the Davis
subcommittee, who are opposed to home
rule legislation, have very much to fear
from circulation of petition signed by
enough members of Congress to force a
bill out of committee to the House floor.
Such moves, for many reasons, are sell
dom successful But if anything lends
strength to such petition, it will be

Politics and beauty seem to have

Miss Universe contest because her

explained that Catholics "are not die

that she had once appeared in bathing

archbishop had expressed disapproval.
Offhand, the whole business sounds like

Test Vote in Argentine

Municipal elections in single prov
ince, only few more than 600 votes
in a nation of 20 million persons, have
demonstrated the precariouS status of
democratic government in Argentina.
Limited to Santa Fe Province, the test
at the polls last Sunday showed only
one in six voters supporting the Radical
Party Of President Frondizi, as splinter
parties Of the middle, Peronistas on the
right and Communists on the left made
sweeping gains over their showing in
the national election of early 1868. or
most significance was the general inter-
probation that the bulk of this vote
was anti-Frondizi-and, in effect, anti
democratic-to far greater degree than
1t was pro anything or anybody else.
In addition, only widely protested post
ponement of voting in Rosario, Argen-
tina'S second largest city and Peron-
iSta stronghold, prevented an even worse
defeat for the Frondizi administration
This provides no basis for confidence
or optimism as to the state of affairs in
Argentina. DR.. Frondizi, a respected
student Of economic and social prob
lens of his country, won his election
Is months ago with wide support from
all political factions and with the back
ing of powerful military elements. In
the months since, however, his best
intentioned policies have met bitter
opposition on a broad front-from po-
litical factions, labor unions, professional
groups and finally from the poltico-
military element which has at least the
potential power to return the govern
ment to the hands of dictatorship.
Basically, the dilemma in Argentina
is that only program of stringent
austerity can set its economic house in
order, and that auSterity is not popu-
lar way of life. The Frondizi administra-
ton, facing up to the necessity, has at
tempted to impose such a program-with
aid and encouragement, incidentally,
from our own Government, from the
International Monetary Fund and from
private industrial and banking enter
priSeS in the United States. AS of now,
the response in Argentina itself has been
the sharp decline of popular support
and the accompanying grave question of
whether the government itself can sur
vive. Only few weeks ago, perhaps too
recently to have affected the Santa Fe
elections, DR.. Frondizi reorganized his
own cabinet to give greater influence to
conservative, free enterprise interests.
Their task, if it is not too late, is to
win back the public Endorsement needed
to rebuild the national economy and to
maintain popular government.

it is true. Every moment that

Ashamed of EustIond

Americans must once again
hide their heads in shame at
the Incorporate utteranceS
of James o. Eastland, one of
the most powerful Senators
in Congress.
Senator Eastland'S latest
outburst concerned the re-
cent Supreme Court decision
striking down a New York
State ban on showing the
film, Lady Chatterley's
Lover"
Terming this decision a
mighty blow" to the forces
of decency, Senator Eastland
said: Presumably the de-
ciSion would be the same with
respect to the right to urge
bigamy. or sodomy, or mis-
cegenation, or even rape"
l find this equating of mis-
cegenation with-to use Sen
ator Eastland's term-"moral
depravity," moral depravity
of the worst sort. 1t will come
as a great shock, I am sure,
to the thousands of American
servicemen who married nom
Caucasian girls while over
seas in the service of their
country to find that the es-
teemed Senator from the
great and enlightened state
of Mississippi considers them
morally depraved."
Surely the airing of such
opinions can hardly qualify
Senator Eastland as a cham
pion of the forces Of de-
cency."

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Russians Find Antarctic Oasis
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

from Olaf Prydz on the coast
OF Princess Elizabeth Land,
which was discovered by a
Norwegian whaler In 1897.
This valley between noun
tains, in places more than
1000 feet deep, presumably
is an inland extension Of the
bay depression. the Russians
believe, and constitutes an
unmistakeable feature Of
the Antarctic landscape.
In the same general region
they report also the discovery
Of what may be the second
largest glacier IN the far
south and one OF the great
est Ice rivers in the world. It
is from so to so miles wide
and covers about 10000
square miles, they report.
Numerous mountain peaks
and short mountain ranges
rise along its sides.
n
Two large Antarctic noun
tain ranges have vanished
during the past decade-or
originally were optical illu-
sions.
This claim has Just been
made by Russian explorers
who flew over the Australian
areas Of the Antarctic con-
tinent designated on maps as
Princess Elizabeth and Mac
Robertson Lands, whose
coastlines are about half
way between the Ross and
Weddell seas. The region is
roughly between the 65th and
80th meridians, the longest
distance from the sea to
the South Pole.
Here flyers of Admiral
Richard E. Byrd's l947 High
Jump expedition claim to
have seen from the air about
half way to the pole be-
tween the 65th and 10th mer-
idianS a major range, and it
was entered on maps. Pre-
viously the American ex-
plorer, Lincoln Ellsworth, had
reported a range, presumably
an extension of the same one,
in the neighborhood of the
80th meridian.
If these reports were valid,
according to the Russian fly
ers in a summary Of Soviet
Geophysical Year operations
just issued by the Commerce
Department, something has
happened to the mountains.
They probably never existed,
these explorers claim.
Possibly Purple Clouds
They do not question the
honesty of the American re-
ports but point to the ease
with which mistakes might
have been made with varying
optical conditions. During
their own flights, they claim,
these were almost ideal, for
the Antarctic.
The supposed mountains
are nameleSS and are en-
tered only tentatively on Ant
arctic charts.

ported:
Apparently during pre-
viouS flights some individual

plish color, which occasionally
occur above Antarctica in

muniSm and Communist

our goodwill expedition. But
perhaps as long as we ac-
cept Khrushchev's apparent
geniality as just an attempt
at putting his best Com
muniSt-propaganda foot for
ward, and not as an indica-
ton that Communists have
given up their dedicated
drive to communize the

Lila d. SOnnemann.
It is alarming to read in
Constantine Browns column
that Nikita Khrushchev may
be suffering from a mental
disorder. This poses an even
graver problem to Western
military leaders. 1t is hard
enough to figure out what a
Communist in his right mind
will do.
Averell Hartman thinks
that KhruShchev is definitely
off base in his viewpoint of
the attitude of American la
Dor toward the free enterprise
system. If this is true, it
might be a good idea for
Khrushchev to visit the
United States and find out
for himself, by personal con-
situations, plant visits, etc.,
what the American worker
thinks about socialism, free
enterprise, etc.
Admittedly. a visit by the
Soviet Premier will be repul-
sive to many people. But if it
helps change Khrushchev's

mind about the United
States, and thereby improves
the tense world situation, the
visit should be made.
The United States is pre-
dominantly a Christian and
God-fearing nation. Perhaps
when KhruShchev sees what
Christians and Jews have
done with our country-its
wealth, its happiness, its high
standard of living for the
worker, he may decide that
atheism is the wrong solution
to the worlds problems.

Commenting on the timing
of the Captive Nations Week
Proclamation, your editorial.
Chill in Moscow" said: If
1t is necessary or desirable to
proclaim such things as Cap
tive Nations Week, along with
Apple Week, Sweet Potato
Week, and Be Kind to AMI
mails Week, why is it also
necessary to choose the worst
possible time?"
Such a flippant dismissal
Of the plight of one hundred
million souls, who formerly
were free and independent,
and who must now endure
the most ruthless tyranny
ever recorded in the long his
tories of their several ma
tionS, is hardly indicative of
mature political judgment.
Nor is it congruent with the
noble generosity of the Amer
lean people. whose traditional
sympathy for the victims of
oppression was expressed in
that proclamation.
Your editorial concludes:
&c. the probable result in
this case will be to stif1e
rather than lift the hopes of
people in the captive coun-
tries" Such, I assure you. is
precisely the result your own
unworthy comments can be
expected to have In those
countries.
COnstantin VisOianu,
Former Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Romania.
I most earnestly wish to
believe that your Chill in
Moscow" editorialist did not
actually mean that the cap
tive nations plight, and APP
pie and sweet potato fes-
rivals are all one to him.
However, I still do think that
the urge for witticism which
probably prompted his rude
and cruel remark was most
unfortunate in every respect.
AS to the proclamation of
the week of prayers for the
captive nations, it was the
very best time for doing it,
lest both Khrushchev and the
captive nations themselves
were led to believe that in
seeking to lessen the tension
with the USSR, the American
Government and people were
prepared to bargain on Amer
ica's sense of justice, free
dom, human decency. to bar
ter her ideals ana principles.
1t is good that. once in
q blue moon at least, Amer
lea too speaks up, which the
President did in her behalf.
