groom, kneeling on her right
before the primate Of Bel
GUM, gave his bride a SYM
pathetic look. This seemed to
steady her.
With only an occasional
faint trembling smile she
completed the long ceremony
performed amid medieval
pageantry and splendor in
the Roman Catholic Collegi-
ate Church of SITS. Michael
and Gudule. When she took
communion, she broke down
and cried, her long hands
once more flying to her face.
The bridegroom, younger
brother of bachelor King
Baudoin, was grim and ner-

monies that began with a
civil marriage service in the
Brussels royal palace.
Riding in an opeH car
along the procession route
from the palace to the church
for the religious ceremony,
the bride waved gaily. The
crowds loved it with excited
cries for "Paola! Paola! Pa

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July
2,-Prince Albert Of Liege,
heir presumptive to the Bel
GUM throne, today married
a beautiful blond Italian
Princess who broke down
with giggles midway through
the glittering church we'd
ding.
The radiant 81 year old
bride, Dona Paola Ruffo di
Calabria, was asked by Jo-
Seph Cardinal Van Roey, the
officiating clergyman, Have
you come here of your own
free will to engage in mar
riage?"
yes" she replied in
French-and then suddenly
halted, giggled and couldn't
go on.

Although the Homemaker Service Is

Now. in order TO pay the modest

Service has applied for financial mem

order to qualify, the Homemaker Service
must show "broad community support"

Churchill Robbed.

Sir Winston Churchill, who is vaca-
tioning at the moment in Southern
France, probably is not too much dis
turbed by the news that his London
home has been robbed of jewels worth
about $4,000. Actually, however, the
burglars have committed a crime far
more heinous than that. For they have
run of with an undetermined number of
his worldfamouS and cherished cigars,
which in themselves are works of art
universally celebrated for their thinking
mans size and their eXtra-Special flavor
and fragrance. One can only imagine
how Britains great wartime Prime Min
lister has reacted to this. Scotland Yard,
which has been called into the case,
must be Sparing no effort to track down
the culprits, who conceivably may have
been even daStardly enough to pilfer
some of Sir WinStons brandy. If that
proves to be the case, he will surely say
things about them-to himself, if not
publicly-that will be as magnificently
powerful and as much to the point as
some of his past comments on black
guards like Hitler, MuSSolini and Stain.
Oh, to hear him!

Fore!-PIus 20 Yards

Somehow or other, every silver lin
ing seems to have a cloud. At first
glance, for example, one would suppose
that the golfball-making induStry's plan
to market ball that will carry 20 yards
longer off the tee would be hailed with
uniform delight. Even our friends who
specialize in zig-zagging down the fair
ways might be happy to slice or hook 20
yards farther.
So what happens? A spokesman of
the United States Golf Association steps
up to voice great concern" about seeing
that the game isn't distorted" Longer
shots, he means, would tend, in effect,
Ito shorten golf courses" And then he
worries about clubs having to buy more
land to make longer courses and thus
increasing the price of round of golf"
Well, the USGA may do its worst to dis
courage rabbit ball." but our bet is
that when these things hit the market
the USGA policemen" had better be
standing 20 yards farther away or learn
to duck fast.

The Homemoker Service

Everyone knows what can happen
to a family when the woman of the
house falls i'll and cannot cope with her
regular round of duties. If there are
no relatives to take the children in, the
family may be split up. The children
may be sent to institutions. Often the
diStraught father spends his little lei
sure unhappily visiting in turn his sick
wife in the hospital and his homesick
children in the orphanage.
To prevent just that kind of human
disaster, which, however Shortlived, can
be fearfully disrupting of the fabric of
family life, there is an organization
called the Homemaker Service. The
agency arrangeS for mature and kindly
woman to come into the house and
take over its management until such
time as the mother is back on her feet.
These women are specially trained in
housekeeping Skills-in cooking, mend
ing, cleaning and nutrition They under
stand the problems of children without
their mother. The purpose of the Home
maker Service is lofty one: ITO pre-
serve family life"

Double Jeopardy

The Supreme Courts rulings this
week in two double-jeopardy cases reveal
a conflict of views among the justices
which cannot be treated in any detail
in this space. The arguments on each
side of the proposition are too complex
to permit of such oversimplif1cation
From the point of view of the lay
man, however, it may be said that there
does not appear to have been any "mis-
carriage of justice" in the rulings. In
one case the court majority upheld the
conviction Of bank robber in State
court after he had been acquitted on
essentially the same charge in Federal
court. In the second case a dynamiter
was convicted in State court and then
convicted in a Federal court on charges
growing out of substantially the same
offenSe. In both cases the trials were
fairly conducted and the evidence in
dicates that the accused we're guilty,
despite the one Federal acquittal. In
this sense, there was no miscarriage of
justice.
Constitutional considerations, as dis
tinguished from factual evidence, con-
trolled the double jeopardy aspects of
the cases. And on this score six justices,
with Justice Brennan dissenting on a
different ground in one case, approved
the convictions. The double-jeopardy
'dissenters were Chief Justice Warren
and Justices Douglas and Black, with the
latter writing the dissenting opinions.
Justice Blacks diSSentS were couched
In strong and often eloquent language.
In some respects, however, it seems to
us that he overStated his case. For ex-
ample, he suggested an analogy, which
seems quite far-fetched, between these
trials and trial procedures in Russia. He
also said this: 1.-THE power to try Sec
ond time will be used, as have all similar
procedures, to make scapegoats of help
less political, religious or racial minor
tiles and those who differ, who do not
conform and who resist tyranny"
Whatever the merits of this as a
general, or rhetorical, statement, it has
no conceivable application to the two
decisions in question. That is, it has no
application unless one is willing to be-
lieve, which we are not, that Justices
Frankfurter, Clark, Harlan, Brennan,
Whitaker and Stewart would sanction
the potential abuses which Justice Black
emissions.

County Costs

While there might be justifl-
cation for bringing additional
in dustry to Montgomery
County from the point Of view
of convenience, there is no
such justification from a rev.
enue standpoint, even though
Stanley r. Green presents a
plausible case. Apart from the
fact that such industry de-
preciates the value of nearby
residential property and so
tends to cut revenue from
that source, it also involves
expenditures for u Utilities,
water mains, sidewalks and
wider access roads and high
ways.
How are rising county costs
to be met? About 1000 years
ago the Latin poet Horace
advised that the best way to
live within ones means is
to cut desires. Montgomery
County has been unwilling to
do so, especially in regard to
the largest item, education.
In recent years the county
has acquieSced in and, in the
last election, voted for pro-
gressive education, which is
the costlieSt type of educa-
ton. In practice, progressive
education means school build
ingS in which less than so
per cent of the floor space is
used for classrooms. 1t means
many supervisors, overlooking
the teachers and loading
them with. paperwork. 1t
means a multitude of course
offerings and counSellors ever
testing and trying to direct
students in ways the counsel
lors think best.
Not only is progressive edu-
cation costly, it is the worst
type of education from the
point Of view of sharpening
the students mind so that he
will be able to face and solve
problems for himself. Instead
of demanding hard work and
concentrated effort, progress
Sive education helps stimulate
the students desires for ma
terial goods and costly sur
roundings. BY allowing stu
dents to drop difficult subjects
for such courses as art appre-
citation and driver training. it
handicaps the student in try
ing to satisfy his desires
through his own efforts. The
result, visible on every side,
is a generation of youngsters
who want the world on a sill
yer platter but are not trained
to earn a living.

Help for Farmers

In addition to your edi-
torial, Helping Those Farm
ers," and the facts pointed
out by H. L. Mitchell in The
Star of March 20, another
aspect of Government aid to
farmers should receive more

about a dollar an acre for
their leases and then put the
land in the soil bank and re-
ceive from the Government

to the Colorado Springs Ga
zette- Telegraph of March 8.
The Government. also pays
the leasers a dollar an acre

land and pays 80 per cent OF
the cost of the seed.

Medical Costs

I would like to make what
could be the lone dissent to
an open letter to Senator
Wayne Morse appearing in
our Medical Annals. Speak
ing editorially for the more
than 1000 members Of Or
ganized medicine in our local
medical society, DR.. Wallace
M. Yater, one Of our Nations
most distinguished medical
scientists, urges senator
Morse to accept our good in
tentions and past perform
ance re solving the SNOWFALL
ing cost of medical care. He
would discourage Sen ator
Morse in pushing his new
bill. 1881, which like the Fo-
rand bill proposes to insure
the cost of hospital, surgical
and nursing home care for
people eligible for social Sc
curity benefits.
DR.. Yater's position is iden-
tical with the present policy
of our American Medical
Association: Both believe
that the medically INDECENT
are the direct concern of the
community and not the Fed
eral Government. Both hold
that social legislation like
1881 will be the entering
wedge of socialized medicine.
Surely, this is a let-'em-eat
cake solution. Both DR.. Yater
and I we're defendants in
the historic medical antitrust
trials two decades ago. The
basic issue was whether a
learned profession in oppos-
ing social experimentation
purposed to provide low-cost,
prepaid medical coverage of
health risks. was subject to
the restraints and prohibi-
tons of the antitrust laws. 1t
was ruled that doctors using
even the mild and nonviolent
restraints of moral coercion
and disciplines were guilty of
a conspiracy in restraint of
trade. We were given a stern
warning that social expert
ments purposed to alleviate
the mounting insolvency Of
the healing arts would have
the protection and encour-
agement of Federal leader
ship.
DR.. Yater and our ANA
insist voluntary health insur-
ance plans for the aged show
satisfactory gains. Our ANA
News quotes a staff report of
Health Insurance Association
of America re coverage of
our senior citizens: so per
cent of all senior citizens who
deem themselves in need of
coverage will have it by 1860.
This figure will rise to 63 per
cent in 1861; rs per cent in
1865 and 80 per cent by 1870.
AS perhaps the lone dis
senter, I ask DR.. Yater and
the ANA: Since when has
our profession boosted Of or
been satisfied with what has
been done for the durable?
additionally our challenge
has been the unsolved and
difficult problems of our heal
ing ministry. At least, SEN
ator Morse is trying to force

Tolerant Youth

ObCIOHL OuGu
Two unrelated incidents
concerning young peoples
reaction to bigotry recently
occurred in Virginia that
subStantiate the claim that
this younger generation is
less likely to become prey to
racial hatemongers than the
passing generation.
In Williamsburg, proSegre-
gationists picketed a hall at
william and Mary College,
where former United States
Representative Brooks Hays
was making a speech against
Faubusism. 1t is reported
that the students, some 200
to 300 strong, picketed the
pickets, jeered the imported
pickets, captured their plac-
ards, attempted to sell them
Mr.. Hays book, Southern
Moderate Speaks. and told
the intruders to go home.
In Arlington one extremist
displays in public view the
Nazi swastika emblem and
passes out literature in
imical to Jews and Negroes.
The children of the local
high schools are enticed to
witness his display and Sc
cure literature.
Because of the crowds and
traffic hazards. the proSecut-
ing attorney of Arlington ad-
vised the parents to keep
their children away. He wrote
in the Arlington Daily Sun
that cit is indeed heartening
to listen to some of those
young Americans talk after
they have left the premises.
The literature is torn
and thrown in the streets"
He urges parents to keep
away from the hatemongers
80 that our community can
continue its peaceful. quiet
life in accordance with those
basic fundamental principles
of Americanism in which we
all believe"
One teacher of social
studies permitted the pupils
to comment on bigotry and
this episode. Almost 100 per
cent of the pupils opposed his
views.
There is every reason to
believe that young people are
more inclined to be tolerant
and are less influenced by
tradition than most of their
elders. Where there has been
disturbance to law and order
and rebellion to the mandate
of desegregation only a few
students are responsible and
most Of them have been
egged on by older people.

Picking the crop is a small
industry among local fisher
men, for tree-growing oys-
tiers are a delicacy Of bon
wants. They are small-less
than half the size of the
average rock oyster of the

Mangrove swampS cut this

boatmen can find their way

The oysters sometimes en-
crust a foot or so of such
roots, always in the zone be-
tween high and low tides.
They cling very tightly. so
that they usually are har-
vested with a cleaver, and
opening them is quite labo-
rious, which may account for
the fact that the rest of the

tional flavor.
Despite their different size
and taste they hardly rep

Erdman believes. because the
same species also are found

habitats such as the piers Of
boat landings and beach
rocks.
Being oysters, he says.
obviously they cannot climb
