AnoIyze CoIumnists

AS an old subscriber to
your conservative paper I am
offended by one of your COL
umnists.
Doris Fleeson. a left-wing-
er, has a certain wit and
sparkle, william S. White
has no wit and is Of the same
breed-but Ralph McGill is
so far to the left of William
S. White I see no reason for
his being in your so-called
conservative paper at all.

outdates in knowledge any Of
these late-comers.
Mrs. J. A. H. TORY.
What in the world has
happened to The Evening
Star? In spite of the slanted
columns Of Doris Fleeson and
William White, we have al
ways considered you the most
conservative Of the Washing
ton papers.
Doris Fleeson and White
are known for their left
wing approach to news, but
at least Doris Fleeson is a
good reporter. and no one
pays too much attention to
White, because Of his known
bias. At times he even APP
proaches the conservatives
But now you have added a
column that is not only writ
ten by a man who proves
himself. in every article, as
an exponent Of all the left
wing doctrines, and is, to
boot, one of the dullest writ
ers I have ever had the mis-
fortune to read. If this is
what we are to expect from
The Star from now on-Mc-
Gill and his ilk. and their
isms-th2n it's time Star
readers tried an out-of-town
paper that will combine
reliability with conservative
policies.
I did not write at once,
for I thought perhaps Nc
Gill was Just a summer fill
in, or that you had tried out
a couple of columns "for
size" But it now looks as if
you intend to keep this drivel
as a regular thing, and that
is more than many of us will
stomach.

Low-Cost HOUSING

Hurrah for the District
Redevelopment Land Agency
and the District Commits
sioners for eliminating low
cost housing and rent CELL
ings from Southwest rede-
velopment plansl
1t is not now and never
has been in the public inter-
est to develop choice land in
the center Of the city with
low cost housing. Economic
common sense demands that
this land be developed to its
highest and best use. Why
should the lowest income
group live in the choicest To-
cations?
Washington Is the Federal
City, the capital Of one of the
worlds great nations. She
deserves monumental apart
ments and costly shops sur
rounding her core Of Govern
ment buildings-not low cost
housing. the forerunner Of
future slums.
There is an ample supply
OF lower cost ground In the
outlying sections Of the city
and in the surrounding
counties for low cost housing.
AS individuals the mem
bers Of the Catholic welfare
group have every right to
criticize the Redevelopment
Land Agency and the Dis
trict Commissioners for ELI
minating low cost housing
and rent ceilings from South
west redevelopment plans,
but when they band together
as a church group they are
out of their sphere in Offer
ing such criticism. Tradi-
tionally in the United States
churches do not NEEDLE In
the affairs Of state.

IN reference to INV goc

In reference 70 my GOOD
friend, James A. Barr. ex-
ecutive director of the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase Cham
Der Of Commerce. and his
letter Of August Is regarding
the Wisconsin avenue corri-
dor which in part says:
Somewhat over a year
ago. the chamber hired an
outstanding traffic expert
and a thorough study Of this
problem was made. This
showed that the insurmount-
able obstacle In the Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase area is the
Wisconsin avenue-East West
highway intersection"
I would like to say that as
a Bethesda Chevy Chase resi-
dent for over so years and
y one who has been very active
in the battle of Route 240"
from the very start. a child's
study Of the intersection Of
Wisconsin avenue and East
West highway will show that
there are three lanes on the
east side Of Wisconsin ave-
nue. at East-West highway
going north. At present,
there are only three lanes on
wisconsin avenue between
Montgomery avenue and
East-West highway on the
east side, although there are
four lanes from there south
to Bradley lane. So. let us
suppose we ended up with
four lanes and a left-turn slot
at this intersection. this
would increase the possible
traffic by So per cent.
Why has this not been
done? Ask among others
the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Chamber Of Commerce-they
certainly must know the rea-
son. They have a Traffic Com
mittee and 1t knows that the
gas station on the southeast
corner Of East-West high
way and Wisconsin avenue
juts out to cause three lanes
instead of four, and If this
line were Strengthened out,
plus a small amount of land
taken for one more lane,
which would represent very
minor changes, then we
would have four lanes the
entire way from East-West
highway down to Grafton
street. At rush hours, If no
parking law we're in effect,
that would represent a 80 per
cent increase over the pres
ent setup up to Montgomery
avenue and a So per cent in
crease from Montgomery
avenue to East-W high
way as mentioned above.
Where else could you gain
so much for so small a cost
in dollars, time and inconven-
fence?

The Republicans have two
potential and probable can
didates for their 1860 presi-
Dental northumberland per-
haps a dozen for second place
on their ticket. Their presi-
dental possibilities are by
general consent Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon Of
California and Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller Of New York.
Many Republicans would be
delighted to have both on
their national ticket-one for
President and the other for
Vice President. But both the
Vice President and the Gov
ernor have announced they
are not interested in and will
not have a vice presidential
nomination. Mr.. Nixon, quite
naturally, does not wish to
make a career Of being Vice
President. He will have held
that office eight years at the
close Of his present term.
Gov. Rockefeller apparently
prefers to remain New York's
chief executive II he fails to
win q presidential nominal
ton.
Many v. p. Possibilities
The list Of possible Repub-
lican nominees for Vice Presi-
dent extends across the coun-
try. from Gov. Mark o. Hat
field Of Oregon to Senator
Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania
and Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts,. From
the wide expanse in between
come Minority Leader Of the
House Charles Halleck of In
diana. Gov. William A. Strait
ton Of Illinois. Secretary Of
the Interior Fred A. Seaton
Of Nebraska. Postmaster Gen.
eral Arthur e. Summerfield
Of Michigan. Secretary of the
Treasury Robert B. Anderson
Of Texas and Connecticut,
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, and then again in
the East, Secretary of Labor
James p. Mitchell of New
Jersey. Senator Clifford p.
Case Of New Jersey and At
torney General w. p. Rogers
Of New York.
Vice President Nixon and
Gov. Rockefeller could head
a ticket with any one Of these
potential nominees for second
place-except that the Attor-
ney General also being from
New York could not be the
choice on a ticket with Mr..
Rockefeller. However, should
Mr.. Nixon be the choice for
President, the nomination for
Vice President would likely 60
to an fastener or a man
from the Middle West, and
If Mr.. Rockefeller should
have first place on the ticket,
the choice for vice president
would probably be from the
West or Midwest.
Many Of these possible Re-
publican choices for Vice
President have had wide ex-
perience in politics and gov
eminent. Two Of them in the
past have been chairman of
the Republican National
Committee, Senator Scott
and Postmaster General Sum-

George Y. WorthinEton III

During Vice President Nix
on's special telecast on NBC
August 8, he said that during
his visit to Cork Park, Mos
COW. he saw a permanent
type exhibit consisting of the
products and services of each
Of the states of the USSR.
He stated that DR.. Milton
Eisenhower concurred with
him on the idea that we
should have a permanent
type exhibit showing the
products and services Of each
OF our so States and possess
sions.
We feel the ideal place for
such an exhibit would be
Washington. D. c., the Ma
tons Capital and capital of
the world.
1t could be built and opened
in connection with the plac-
ing Of the 50th star in the
new American flag on July 4,
1860.
AS for the money to finance
the project, that should be
no problem. The facts show
that Congress appropriated
$3.6 million and American
industry contributed approx
imately So million for our
exhibition in Russia to show
the Russians our way of life.
II we can do it to tell our
story overseas, there is no
reason why the money can't
be appropriated to show the
millions of visitors to the
Nations Capital the story of
our States and possessions.
Perhaps the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee of

follow through on this i'm
mediately.

Dear Sir:
"The other day I was

up into the attic and looked
for it.
There it was, a little
dusty, to be sure, but still in
good shape.

To be mature, in our pres

To be right. of course, is
to think what others think,
do what they do, and want
what they do.
Happily. in the Eden of
which our correspondent
speaks, there was no devil
named Freud. at least he was
not known to those who took
life as it came.
That, perhaps, is the secret
of it all, anyway. To be stern
