version Of this saying goes like
this: "If the mountain will not
come to Mohammed, Mohann-
med must 60 to the mountain. |"
It seems that when Mohammed
was bringing his message to the
Arabs, they demanded some
miracle to prove his power. He
then ordered Mount Safa to
come to him. When It failed
to move, he said that God was
indeed merciful for, had 1t
obeyed, it would have fallen
upon them, destroying them
utterly. He then proposed to
so to the mountain to offer
thanks to God for His mercy.

erb Is used to show that, when

bow to the inevitable.

Ryunoke's Question

Paraphrasing Shakespeare, as who
does not, we might ask: Who is Ryunoke
Akutagawa to Washington, or Washing
ton to Ryunoke Akutagawa?
Well, Washington may be nothing
to Ryunoke but he is rather lot to US.
Nearly one thousand years ago in Japan,
he wrote two sharply inquiring short
stories which have re-emerged in the
10th century as movie and play
called "Rashomon." In his bristling
rnoralistic way, Akutagawa asked the
world the large question: What is truth?
Now this is the sort Of question that
might send any modern reader, theater-
goer or moviegoer scurrying to, not cover,
but the latest uncovering of Brigitte
Bardot. That was somewhat its effect

Co-ordinoted AirIift?

-Four cerClncaCeQ American nag
transocean airlines have applied to the
Civil Aeronautics Board for approval Of
joint effort to work out with the Gov
eminent, particularly with the Depart
ment Of Defense, plan for strengthens
ing their position and expanding their
role in handling governmental air trans
port requirements in either peace or
war. The four are Trans World, Sea-
board and Western, Northwest and Pan
American.
The proposal offers promise for re-
solving the long discussed question Of
co-ordinating the airlift capabilities of
the Military Air Transport Service and
the privately owned industry. That the
airlines are essential in meeting gov
ernmental needs has been emphasized
repeatedly by congressional commit
tees, Defense Department Spokesman
and others. Elwood Quesada, Admin
istrator Of the Federal Aviation Agency,
has stated that minimum Government
activity and maximum private enter
prise could provide the required capa-
bility at the least cost to the taxpayer
and greatest benefit to the Nations
economy and welfare" A spokesman of
the CAB itself told House committee
recently that the board felt that "a
policy decision should be promptly
made" on the relative roles Of the civil
and military carriers. The industry's
suggestion offers starting point for
negotiating an operating formula.

For several days now q Berlin story
has been floating around and up and
down--very much in the fashion Of q
trial balloon.
The gist Of the story is that Mr..
Khrushchev Is bringing with him to
Washington new proposal for settling
the Berlin dispute. The published ver-
sions Of the proposal differ somewhat in
detail, but the essential point Is that
the West German government would be
given control over West Berlin, with
guaranteed access. This might take the
form Of corridor under West German
control into the former capital city.
In return, the Western countries would
pull their forces out Of Berlin.
This proposal is said to have been
put forward during the Nixon trip to
Russia. The President is represented as
being noncommittal but open-minded.
The word from the State Depart
ment, however, is that some offlcials
there are strongly opposed on two
grounds. First, that 1t would mean re-
cognition Of the East German regime,
and, second, that the West would be
surrendering It's right to keep troops in
West Berlin.
These are not objections which
greatly impress us. Such deal would
not necessarily mean recognition in any
formal sense Of the East German regime.
And as for the troop withdrawal ques-
ton, we do not suppose that the West
intends to keep its armed forces In Ber-
lin forever. This Is right which GER
tainly will be Surrendered" one Of these
days.
To question the validity Of the re-
ported State Department objections, Of
course, is not to suggest that Mr.. Eisen-
hover should "buy" this proposal. For
one thing, the published reports do
not contain enough reliable information
upon which to Judge its merits. It seems
to us, however, that If Mr.. Khrushchev
really is bringing any new proposal with
him, that, of itself, is occasion for some
hopefulness. And we are glad to read
that the President is prepared to receive
such proposal with an open mind.

The Weakest Link

'.ts Not all Of the vicious street crime
In washington Is the work OF juvenile
delinquents, but Juvenile delinquency
is all too conspicuous part Of the
frightening picture of street crime In
Washington.
Not all Of the complex problems OF
Juvenile delinquency are susceptible OF
treatment or cure by the machinery OF
judicial processes at Juvenile Court.
Yet Juvenile Court is becoming recog-
nized as the weakest link in the chain
Of law enforcement required to deal
with street crime. It is the weakest link
because 1t lacks SUFFICIENT Judges to ad-
minister the court. Until these judges
are added, and the scandalous condi-
tons responsible for the courts break
down are remedied, the chain OF law
enforcement will be no stronger than
It is.
-. A rare unanimity in washington
exists now in the desire to remedy con-
-ditions at Juvenile Court, to strengthen
that agency in some relation to the
Importance of its function in the COM
-inunity. Yet no real start can be made
In that direction until the court IS ade-
duately manned. It cannot be adequately
manned without the two additional
Judges, provided in a bill which long
Since passed the Senate but which is
being held up (of all places!) in the
House District Committee. Continued
delay in passing this bill means con-
tinued delay in taking fresh start
in strengthening law enforcement in
Washington, with particular attention
to crime in the streets.
There is not much time left for pas
sage Of this bill at this session OF Con-
gress, and it will be nothing short OF
scandalous If it is held over until next
year. But there is plenty Of time for its
passage If it is reported in the next day
or SO from committee which, ironically
enough, seems almost unanimous in
favoring it. We earnestly hope that
Chairman Mcmillan and the members
of his committee, who have done much
to strengthen law enforcement in WASH
ington, will bring out the Juvenile Court
bill this week and speed its passage in
the House before adjournment.

Clear Up This Mess!

The Fairfax County Board of Super
visors is fully justified in undertaking to
clear up the mess which has begged
down progress on the new Fairfax
County Hospital, A board Of inquiry
appointed by the supervisors has heard
charges and countercharges as to who
is to blame for the virtual shutdown Of
work on the So million project, but no
final report has been made. It was es-
.tablished, however, that completion OF
the vitality needed hospital will be de-
layed for at least several months and
possibly for year, Furthermore, the
delay may cost the taxpayers and con-
~tributors to the hospital fund con-
siderable additional sum.
More important than the extra cost
resulting from the delay is the postpone
n1ent of relief for the growing county's
serious lack of hospital facilities. It was
to meet this urgent need that the county
agreed to put up So million of the hos
pitfalls cost, to be matched by like
amount of Halliburton Federal funds
and supplemented by 100000 to be con-
tributed by the public. The main drive
for popular subscriptions is soon to be-
gin. It is essential to the success of this
drive and, indeed, to the success of the
whole enterprise that the dispute among
the builders, architects and sponsors of
the hospital be brought to an early end.
We hope the supervisors will be able to
get to the bottom Of the controversy
and put the derailed project back on
the track In the near future.
