trict.
A committee of the Metro
politan Area Traffic Council
made the proposal, repeating a
similar recommendation made
at last years conference.
National Backing
Inconsistent and uncertain
penalties have constituted a
serious obstacle to the success
of the enforcement program in
traffic violations" the commit
tee report said in urging setting
up OF a traffic court.
DRIVERS are entitled to a
general idea of the punishment
to be melted out within reason
able variation without regard
to the change of judges"
The committee report, read
by Anthony L. Ellison, execu-
tive secretary of the council,
said that formation of a traffic
court has been recommended by
the American Bar Association,
National Safety Council and
numerous other major national
organizations.
The committee also recon-
mended failing drunk drivers
instead of filming them.
At a conference luncheon,
Arthur j. Sundlun, chairman Of
the District Citizens Traffic
Board. was presented with the
conferences distinguished serv-
ice award.

Washington area courts and
police came under sharp crit
icism yesterday for the low
rate of traffic accident arrests
and convictions.
The 81 per cent record of
drunken driving convictions in
this area was called horribly
low" by George Grotz, the Ma
tional Safety Councils District
director.
Mr.. Grotz said a conviction
record of less than 80 per cent
is considered a poor enforce
ment record by the American
Bar Association and the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs
of Police.
He spoke at the eighth an
nual Commissioners and Gov
errors Conference on Metro
politan Traffic Problems at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Mr.. Grotz stated that Wash
ington area arrests and invest
igations in traffic accidents
average less than one-half that
of comparable regions.
High on Safety
In overall traffic safety &C
Invites, however, the Washing
ton area has a rating of go per
cent compared to a so per cent
national average, he said.
The area inventoried en-
braced the District, Montgom-
cry, Arlington and Fairfax
Counties, Falls Church and Alex
andria. Prince Georges County
was not included because coun-
ty officials were not contacted
in time for the study, the safety
official said.
Mr.. Grotz pointed out that
this National Safety Council
inventory was the Nations first
for an area including several
Jurisdictions.

posal that a full-time traffic

Pvt. Evans twice had to ask
Miss Taylor to let him UP so
he could talk with them.
Acted Like Gentleman
Miss Taylor and her sister,
Alicia Jean Taylor. %, who
was present with the proprietor,
Pat Constantine, all said the
policeman conducted himself
in a gentlemanly manner, was
sober and had made no pre-
arranged date at the restaurant.
Betty and Alicia Jean said
they had never met Pvt. Evans
before he walked into the grill
and that until Betty attempted
TO hide him they had done Moth
ing more than exchange pleas
ant chit-chat.
Pvt. Evans, quickly dubbed
"the kissing cop" after charges
were filed, was president of
his class in police school. He
holds several concentrations
and was cited as Policeman-of-
the-Month for the attempted
rescue of a boy who drowned in
Rock Greek.
He served two bitches in the
Navy before joining the force
in 1855 and once studied for
the priesthood.
Character witnesses included
1t. James E. Langley of the
sixth precinct where Pvt. Evans
was assigned before transfer
ring to the third precinct, and
James Mcnamara, former ath-
lete and now owner of a liquor
store.
Both praised the policeman
for his devotion to his family.
his mental ability and his de-
votion to duty. In addition,
two letters of praise, one from
the Rev. Patrick w. Kemp of
Nativity Church and Philip A.
Guarino, a restaurateur, we're
read into the record.

was acquitted of the unbecom-
ing conduct charge.
Pvt. Evans. the father of five
children and a police hero,
readily admitted being in Red
and Herbs Restaurant, 1880
Seventeenth street NV, for
two hours when he should have
been walking his beat.
He also admitted having
"three bottles and a draft beer"
But as for being found in a back
booth kissing a 19-year-old
waitress. Betty Taylor, 31O7
Sixteenth street NV, 1t wasn't
true.
Tried to Hide
Miss Taylor, an attractive
blond who first told police her
name was Judy Miller, corro-
borated his testimony. She said
that when 1t. Eugene D. Good
ing and Sergt. Francis Connolly
of the third precinct walked in
she was merely trying to hide
Pvt. Evans.
The waitress said it was {

for business and at first she
thought the policemen were
civilians. II didn't think il

threw my body over his and

ers.

couldn't see Evans who was
hunched down in a corner Of
the booth. My mouth was neal
his but I didn't kiss him and
he didn't kiss me.
"In fact, he didn't seem to
like it and he told me to let
him up" she declared.
1t. Gooding and Sergt. Con-
nelly testified it looked mighty
like kissing to them and that

Phenomenon in India

The tremendous welcome accorded
President Eisenhower in India has been
described as the most phenomenal thing
OF its kind ever seen in that phenomenal
country. Indeed, in some places over
there, he has been hailed even as a god.
Why? One can only guess at the answer.
but 1t seems safe to say that the Indian
people, by and large, see in him both the
perSoniflcation of the American dream
and the promise that that dream-in a
measure at leaSt-may somehow materi-
alize for them, slowly but surely. Beyond
that, at time when they are intensely
fearful OF Red China'S intentions, they
probably find it emotionally reasSuring
and exciting to know that he is the Chief
Executive of an enormously rich and
powerful land dedicated to principles
that make it the enemy Of aggression
and the champion of peace and freedom
Tor all nations. Although he can guar
antee them nothing, his mere presence
among them suggests, quite accurately.
that they can count on the United States
as good friend. Hence their almost
frenzied greetings to him in sponta-
neouS outward display of deep inward
sentiment whose significance ought not
10 be lost sight of on either side of the
Iron Curtain in Asia or Europe.

Excessive Drug Prices?

1t may be possible to argue, as the
president of one major drug firm has
done, that public concern over the high
cost OF drugs reflects "a matter of in
adequate income rather than excessive
prices" For the most part, however, we
suspect that the public will take this
remarkable statement with a large grain
OF salt, and feel considerable gratitude
In the meantime that the practices of
drug pricing have come under intensive
scrutiny by the Congress.
Standing alone, of course, the sub
Stantial public dissatisfaction which has
been voiced about the costs of medicines
and drugs is not conclusive of anything.
For buying drugs is something like going
to the doctor-there is little choice in
the matter, and the outcome too often is
shrouded in frustrating mystery. Most
drugs, for example, are ordered through
prescriptions, which are made no more
intelligible by the druggist The buyer.
In most cases, has little notion of what
the drug is, where it came from, or
whether the charge is fair. It is pre-
ciSely this helpleSSneSS, however, which
makes the sale of drugs so susceptible
to prohteering, and which requires that
every safeguard be established to lessen
the burden on the sick and inf1rm to the
greatest degree possible.
Prospects are that the Senate Anti
trust and Monopoly Subcommittee hear
ings will extend into next Spring-and
possibly the summer-and may branch
into the pricing policies affecting costs
OF medicine at all levels. We hope they
do. In the meantime, too few facts have
been developed at the initial hearings to
make precise judgments on the senSa-
tional differences disclosed between pro-
duction costs and sales prices of some of
the newer miracle" drugs. MarkupS of
1000 per cent seem fantastic indeed, and
annual profits appear to be far above
those of comparable industries. Drug
officials, on the other hand, contend that
the subcommittee has failed to give con-
Sideration to the losses on drug failures"
and the tremendous costs of research
and development.
The manner in which these costs are
passed along, no matter how great they
are, however, is very much the business
OF the public, and Chairman Kefauver,
in probing the competitive and con-
tractual aspects of the drug industry.
Is right in placing foremost emphasis on
whether the manufacturers are Setting
their prices at excessive levels"

Annexed Again

There was little surprise in the deci-
sion of the Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals upholding a 2,224-acre annexa-
ton by the town of Fairfax. The action,
nevertheless, has dealt another blow to
Fairfax County, and this should serve
to spur the county'S efforts to foreStall
further devouring of its valuable urban
land by municipalities
The 32 square mile expansion,
which will more than double the present
area of the town of Fairfax, was ordered
by three-iudge court last year. What
hopes the county had for a reversal were
set back last month, when Virginia's
high court laid down new principle of
State annexation law The new rule
held that the best interests of the pro-
posed annexation areas must be fully
considered by the courts, and not merely
the interests of annexing municipalities.
In practice, this broadening of the ira
ditional State criteria is expected to help
counties resist annexation in many in
stances. In the Fairfax town case, how
ever, the Supreme Court followed its
october reasoning closely in rejecting
the county appeal.
AT considerable length, for example,
the court pointed out the municipal
services for the 1924 acres either are
provided already by the town, or easily
may be extended, 1t noted that most
residents Of the affected area, including
116 of the l19 families in its Iaroas+
subdivision, favored annexation. And 1t

Lasting Contribution

The death of Admiral Ross McIntire
has ended long and distinguished
career in the fields of military and civil
medicine. The best remembered of his
many accomplishments, of course. will
be his service as personal physician to
President Franklin D. Roosevelt during
the final lingering illness of the Chief
Executive. A fact little known at the
time, however, was the major behind
the-SceneS role which Admiral McIntire
played in the provision of critically
needed community hospitals including
the new Georgetown and George Wash
ington University Hospitals during the
war and postwar periods.
In the early 1940S, Admiral McIntire
was intensely concerned with the extern
sion of hospital service throughout the
land, especially to cope with the pent-
up demand which would strike cities at
the end of the war. His particular in
tereSt, however, was with WaShingtons
health and hospital problems, and he
participated actively in 1914 projection
of postwar needs. When the opportunity
arose for the Federal construction of
hospitals through the Lanham Act,
therefore, he strongly supported the
ALLEGATION of funds for the two Washing
ton universities, which was ordered by
President Roosevelt in 1914. Admiral
McIntire'S close identification with the
successful construction of these two fine
institutions was contribution which
will not be soon forgotten by those
associated with the projects.

said the county was unable to show that
it would suffer "irreparable damages" as
a result.
Actually, Fairfax County officials
have indicated that their greatest fear
was that this annexation might encour-
age expansion moves by Falls Church
and Alexandria. If there is a lesson for
the county in the Fairfax town case,
however, it would appear to be that the
county should concentrate on the i'm
proVement OF county services, expanded
as quickly and as widely as possible. If
this were done, especially in view of the
new court tests, there would be less like
Hhood OF annexation in the threatened
areas.

Tax 'Extortion'

May / contribute toward
the outcry Of Montgomery
County tax extortion for pub
lie school support?
I undertake to speak for
all retirees who have no de-
pendents in the county's
schools. Problems of the ag-
ing have become a matter
of national concern Gas has
almost every other depart
ment Of private life). Our
Governor has initiated action
within Maryland to study
these problems with a view
to contributing concrete sug-
gestion in the overall ma
tional movement along these
lines.
These problems are many
phased and cannot be solved
without extensive investiga-
ton. No pretense is made
herein to suggest overall So
lutionS in this broad field.
There is, however, one phase
Of the problem most certainly
meriting immediate attention,
and action can be taken with
out extensive study envision-
ing grandiose schemes to
make everybody happy"
Retirees with any degree Of
self-respect hardly wish to
become wards of county,
State or Nation; but relief
from extortionate school
taxes is certainly a must in
the area of financial prob
lens. Inequitable distribu-
ton of this tax should be
apparent to even a novice in
politics, even more so to
members of the County Coun-
Gil. At present it seems a
liability to own residential
property-that is individual
dwellings. 1t is a glaring
target for tax-hungry off,
cials. Much of the public
feels but slightly this burden,
whereas the home owner
suffers acutely. This is where
retireeS are hardest hit. Hav-
ing acquired homes in the
past, and for perhaps a quar-
ter Of a century or more hav-
ing contributed to the stabil-
ity of this county, while living
frugally within their means
and trying to provide for re-
tirement years in peace and
security, retirees are now
saddled with this greatly in
creased burden at a time of
life when least able to bear
it, and are rudely disillu-
stoned. Plans for retirement
originated many years ago
did not envision this final
grab" at our faSt-shriveling
dollar. Now, are we to be-
driven from our homes and
our home county as a re-
