Weighty Police Problem

Police Chief Murray has a weighty
problem on his hands. The findings of
DR.. John A. Reed, director of the Board
of Police and Fire Surgeons, that Al per
cent of the police force is too plump for
its own welfare and that of the city it is
assigned to protect, call for action. A
fat cop is at disadvantage in chasing
a slim crook.
1t is not so bad to find a desk SER
geant with what former Representative
Miller of Nebraska has described as a
"kewpie doll" contour. Desk SergeantS are
not ordinarily required to engage in foot
races as are policemen on regular BEATS
Nor are precinct commanders and other
higher brass likely to suffer any serious
efficiency lapSeS as result of double
chinS or potbellieS. But the policeman
with a fiabby figure who must jump
fences or climb fire escapes or wreStle
with muscular adversary is giving the
hoodlumS an undeServed break. So let's
have your men forgo those extra ra-
tionS. Chief, and, if necessary, have them
engage in setting-up exercises of war
time memories. 1t will hurt for while,
but in the end everybody, including
the too-hefty gendarmes, will be happier.

Murder in the Mokino?

In keeping with the Indochina arm
iStice agreed upon at Geneva in 1854,
Laos is supposed to be free and indie
pendent kingdom. But it shares borders
with Red China and with Red North Wet
Nam, and so nothing could be less sur
prising-given the rapaciouS nature of
international communism - than that
this little land is in danger of being
gobbled up.
The danger, of course, is not new.
For Laos, from the day of it's Geneva
birth, has been subjected to intermittent
violence unleashed by "rebelS." The vio-
lence, however, now has reached new
peak of intensity, and that is why our
State Department has just issued a spe-
cial statement voicing concern" and
declaring that the Reds seem to be
seeking to provoke serious crisis .
Evidently, the Communist regimes in
China and North Wet Nam do not look
with favor on any naturalization of the
situation along their boundaries. In
stead, they would prefer to keep South
east Asia in turmoil
This underStateS the case. The

Library Policy

Samuel L. Banks does the
Library Of Congress and its
staff an injustice by mis-
representing in his letter Of
July 26 this institutions
policies in regard to employ
ment. His comment may be
explained by the fact that he
is a former employee who re-
signed after separation pro-
ceedingS had been instituted
against him for failure to
meet work standards.
1t is the policy-and the
practice-of the Library of
Congress to hire its staff
solely with reference to fit
ness for duty, and race is not
a consideration in hiring or
promotion. The Library has
many Negro staff members in
professional and administra-
tive positions and a number
of them are in grades higher
than those mentioned by Mr..
Banks. Their appointments
and promotions are made
solely on the basis of train
ing and ability.

Nod of announcement

The District Commissioners, after
long elaboration, have expressed official
recognition of the need for an orderly
expansion of the George Washington
University campus in Foggy Bottom.
Their action is entirely consistent with
the best interests of the community.
A certain amount of confusion still
fingers over their decision, however,
created mainly by misunderstanding
of what is intended. The Commissioners
took special pains, for example, to en-
phaSize that they were not stamping
official approval on any specific plan of
future development. They have not
committed the government to help the
university acquire land And they have
not determined in detail that a single
street will be closed or that any particu-
lar coming change will be made What
they have done, following a lead already
taken by the National Capital Planning
Commission, is to:
Express our approval of the universitys
expansion in the area where it is now
located and record our desire to be of
whatever assistance we can in accom-
PlloAlIlS puIPOoC COLloloGCllL Will
responsibilities to the community and our
authority under law.
The Commissioners, in other words,
have given the university nod of off,
cial encouragement to take whatever
steps toward expansion are legally avail
able, with assurances of sympathy from
the District Building. But they have
also made it perfectly clear that any Of
these steps must be judged according to
their own merits at the appropriate
time
Thus, the university's announced
intention to seek urban renewal aid in
the acquisition of at least two parcels
of property will stand or fall on the same
legal tests of slumS and blight as any
other urban renewal project. Beyond
this, however, the university may now
proceed with the development of a more
detailed development plan in the COM
forting knowledge that more adequate
campus is an established concern of the
entire community. And this is all the
university was worried about in the first
place.

Fortifying the Americas

BY a reSounding vote OF 230 to 81,
the House now has joined the Senate in
sending to the President the legislation
he needs to bring into being a special
new Inter-American Development Bank
designed to expedite economic progress
throughout the hemisphere. AS one Of
its strongest advocates, Mr.. Eisenhower
is expected to sign the bill without delay,
after which all our good neighbors to
the south will have an important addi-
tional source of support for their efforts
to achieve large-Scale agricultural and
industrial growth.
With that objective in mind, the
new hemisphere institution will have
ST billion to work with. OF this sum,
$3.50 million will be contributed by the
United States, and the remaining bal
ance of $3.50 million will come from the
other Americas. AS explained some time
ago by the President. the banks prime
function will be to make sound loans
for a wide variety of developmental
projects carefully planned to stimulate
steady and enduring economic advance
ment of a type promising to bring about
marked improvement-on mass scale
in Latin American living standards.
To that end, the agency's help will sup
plement already existing forms of f.
nancing, including not only private in
veStment from our country, but also
assistance from organizations like the
Export Import Bank, the World Bank
and the International Cooperation Ad-
miniStration.
At one time, little more than a year
ago, our Government thought that these
latter sources of support were the only
ones needed in the hemisphere, but
fresh look at the situation proved other
wise, and that is why the President Wig
orouSly recommended the establishment
of the new bank. He has rightly de-
Scribed it as "a most significant step" in
terms of strengthening inter-American
good neighborlineSS and security by pro-
noting accelerated economic develop
ment to eliminate conditions on which
communism feeds and fattenS. In that
respect, it is certainly a project well
calculated to serve the best interests of
all the Americas.

parties, and the like, but an
amusing thing anywhere and
at any time, except when
one might be in a hurry and
get mixed up.
Temp Jones believes that
his own invention would
show the time very clearly
and plainly, without mixup.
The sweep across the clock
would invariably divide the
face exactly into two halves.
Temp kept coming back to
this idea. 1t was here much
as it was with the character
in the French play who sud-
denly realized that he had
been speaking prose all his
life.
Il
Here Jones had been watch
ing clocks for a lifetime and
had not realized the COM
pleteness with which the
hand, properly heightened,
might show two halves.
Two hands of exactly the
same size and length would
provide a little extra puzzle
ment.
The observer might even
have to take his watch out
of his pocket, to find out
what time it was, but what
of it?
1t would be a crazy clock,
that was all.
Nothing more could be ex-
pected of TIE mp Jones'
"Krazy Klok," and especially
of the "Krazy Konfused
Klok," which would have all
hands the exact length and
width, so that the observer
would have to guess at time.
Guessing is a part of life,
after all.
We guess many times a
day.
Indeed, sometimes life
seems a great guessing game.
with the best prizes going to
the best gueSserS.
Jones was reading some
war books recently, in the
reprints, and after he fin
ished he wondered how we
ever won the war at all, so
much guessing was done, and
most of it wrong.
Jones "Krazy Klok" would
make guessing fashionable
and easy. 1t would put time
on the market as chic and
casual. No more fumbling
with the wrist, no more look
ing for an ordinary clock
along the route to find that
it had stopped running.
Jones "Klok," as he calls
it, would divide the dial into
two parts, whether it ran or
not. That, he insists, is
som thing no ordinary
"clock" can do.

site Of the so-called Sub

portant link in human INTEL
ligence, providing material
for Interpretation of present

somewhat similar to looking

This is how it may work,
says DR.. Penfield: After
years Of absence you meet
by chance a man whose very
existence you had forgotten.
On seeing him you may be
struck by a sudden sense Of
familiarity, even before you
have time to think A signal
seems to flash up in con-
seriousness to tell you you've
seen that man before. You
watch him as he smiles and
moves and speaks. The sense
Of familiarity grows stronger.
Then you remember him.
You may recall that his
name was Jones.

"The sight and sound Of
the man has given you an in
slant access, through some
reflex, to the records of the
past in which this man has
played some part. The OPEN
ing of this forgotten file was
subconScious. 1t was not a
voluntary act. You would
have known him even against
your will. Although he was a
forgotten man a moment be-
fore, now you can summon
the record in such detail that
you remark at once the slow
ness of his gait or a new line
about the mouth.
THE interpretative cortex
has in it a mechanism for in
slant reactivation of a de-
tailed record of the past. 1t
has also a mechanism for
production of interpretative
signals. Such signals could
only be significant if past
records are scanned and rele-
want experiences are selected
for comparison with present
experience"
Only the areas of the two
temporal lobes have this
function, DR.. Penf1eld says.
He has explored extensively
most of the rest of the cere-
bral cortex without eliciting
any similar phenomenon.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

It is an amazing thing,
how you can look at some
thing for years and then
suddenly come up with a
new idea about it.
Temp Jones was looking at
a clock, something one is not
supposed to do, when he saw
it in a new light.
He instantly invented a
new timepiece, which he in
tends to call Jones "Krazy
Klok," or, in its extreme
form, the "Krazy Konfused
Klok."
He wondered what would
happen if the minute hand
were extended clear across
the dial, in sweep hand
fashion.
He saw, for the first time
in his life, that this would
cut the clock face right in
two.
This was amazing enough;
but more was to come.
He saw, as if in a binding
flash of inventive lightning,
that this sweep hand would
cut the dial into two equal
halves. no matter where it
was, or what time it was.
y 4 y
Here he had been looking
at watches and clocks all his
life. and this was the first
time, the very first second,
when he saw this fact face to
face.
why not extend the hour
hand clear across the dial
too?" he asked himself.
Invention was on its way
The name "Krazy Klok'
came at once, no trouble al
all; Templeton Jones losses
off such things as lesser men
would grains of popcorn into
a griddle.
Probably the hour hand
might still be made thicker
and slightly less in length.
When 6 o'clock came, as
on an ordinary clock, the two
hands would meet, one over
the other, and cut the dial
into two halves, neatly and
as usual.
1t would be at other
times-any other times
that Jones odd timepiece
would be at its best as an
attention caller.
x = X X
There was already on the
market, he knew, a contro-
versial clock that runs back

That is, the hands go
around to the left, not to the
right, and the watcher must
know this in order to tell
time.

tauga and Nolichucky Rivers
in what is now eastern Ten
neSSee. They lived within
the limits of Colonial North
Carolina, but were refused
legal protection because that
States authority did not ex-
tend so far into the wilder
ness. The settlers formed
the Watauga Association to
keep order and government
among themselves, and their
constitution has been de-
Scribed as the first conStitu-
ton to be written and
a dopted by independent
white Americans. At the be-
ginning Of the Revolutionary
War the Wataugans organ

Their Jobs Safe

In your July 20 edition in
Letters to The Star" there
appeared a letter from John
A. Savage under the caption
Home Rule"
While there is a requirement
as to civil service apportion-
ment to the several States
and Territories, including the
District of Columbia little
5. U. S. Code, 1852 Sup. IT'D i,
this has to do primarily with
the original appointment.
There is nothing whatever in
the law as laid down by Con-
gress or the civil service reg
ulations implementing this
law (Section 2.103 of the
commissions regulationS) to
support Mr.. Savage'S state
ment: "They Government
employees allocated to the
various StateS) must retain
their legal residence in the
States from which allocated
or lose their jobs"
1t was my pleasure to serve
for four years as chief clerk
and counsel of the Senate
Post Office and Civil Service
Committee. 1 can under
stand, if not corrected, how
this statement can cause
much uneasiness among the
civil service workers in the
Metropolitan Washington
Area who do not fall under
the exceptions not requiring
apportionment.
There is absolutely nothing
in the law to prevent the
utmost freedom on the part
of a person thus employed
in Metropolitan Washington.
He or she can change his
place of voting, even to the
District of Columbia should
this privilege ever be granted
to us of the District, without
any fear of losing his job by
reason of such change. When

Human values are more
important than speed. De-
mocracy and the honest OPP
Grafton of the democratic
process are more essential
than results. Because we be-
lieve this, we are sincerely
disturbed by an editorial in
The Star. Progress, Not
Delay" which demanded
speed and results in Wash
ington renewal even at the
expense of human values
and the democratic process.
Twice during the month of
July, public hearings were
held before the District
Commissioners on plans for
redevelopment in the Dis
trict. Twice, after much
soul searching and a thor
ough staff study of the stu
alton, we protested against
these plans. In the one case,
that of Southwest Area B,
we noted that the proposals
before the Commissioners
would operate Cd to prevent
large numbers of former res
idents of Southwest Wash
ington who say they were
told they could one day re-
turn to their home area and
who want to return from do
ing so, and (2) to provide
only luxury and near-luxury
housing and public housing
in a section of the District
cleared with public monies
and supposedly intended for
the benefit of the public in
"all income groups" In the
second case, not only the
Washington Board of Trade
but also the Washington Ur-
ban League, the Washing
ton Housing Association. the
District Federation of Civic
Associations and the Direc-
tor of Catholic Charities for
the Archdiocese of Washing
ton told the District Com
missioners of their honest
distress that present plan
ming for Northwest Wash
ington gave clear indication
that perhaps a similar dis
enfranchisement of low-in-
come groups is being pro-
jected there. We cannot
speak for others, but GER
tainly what is involved here
is no casual, petty obstruc-
tioniSm. We are literally
amazed that The Star seems
unaware of this.
We are further amazed
that a responsible paper like
The Star sees no connection
between Southwest redevel-
opment and Northwest rede-
velopment. The only expert
ence on which Washington

written into the record in

men, and presumably the
same policies. will operate
in Northwest Washington
who propose bluntly and
without apology to eliminate
housing for low-income rem
tai families in Southwest
Area B. No intelligent OBJ
server can ignore the past
in predicting the future.
Albert M. Cole, former Ad-
ministrator of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency,
told the National Housing
Conference, in June of 1858:
LAS we get more and more
involved in the demanding
and complicated undertake
ings that urban renewal en-
tails, we seem to have less
time for the people whose
hopes we are trying to
fulfill" Both proposals in
Washington redevelopment
are still pending before the
District Commissioners. Sure
ly civic wisdom will suggest
to the Honorable Commits
sioners that what is more
important at this juncture
is not speed and not results
but justice to the people in
volved, respect for demo-
cratic dissent and a prayer
full assessment of the man
ner in which human values
have Jared in the record of
Southwest Area B.
This whole issue has al
ready erupted far beyond
the borders of the District.
1t has been publicized across
the country. 1t cannot be
dismissed, in an editorial or
otherwise, as amateur trou-
ble-making.
We repeat, and we are
sure civic courage will sug-
gest it strongly to the Hon
orable Commissioners as
they deliberate over these
planning proposals - human
values are more important
than speed, democracy than
results.
