10. When you buy a dress for
dancing, test it in the fitting room
first. Raise your arms to partner
height to make sure that it won't
shrug up, and see if you can step
freely in all four directions. Look
at the rear view = that's what the
stag line will see.
And remember, you're not
dressed for dancing until you're
wearing a smile!

BE a good dancer, girls, and you'll
haze a tohiH, says Dick Carks
friend Kathryn Murray. Here, in ten
points, she tells hOW:
Z. Dancing, like tennis, golf and
similar activities, takes practice.
But do your rehearsing out of the
limelight - with girl friends.
z. Take turns leading. Don't be-
ieve the old saw that leading ruins
a girls dancing. A girl who can
lead knows what will be expected
of her when she follows. Also,
leading adds spirit to your steps,
improves your sense of rhythm.
.. Practice alone, too, and hold
your arms high, as though dancing
with tall boy. This will strengthen
your arm muscles and keep you
from being a weight to a partner.
4. Practice extra long steps, reach
ing from the ankle - especially
when you step back. A boy is apt
to dance forward most of the time
and it's up to you to keep your
feet out of his way.
q. To be easy to lead, learn the
secret of balance control" This is
simply to take firm hold with your
left hand on the back of the boys
right shoulder. Test out how well
this works with your girl friends.
9. Since boy starts with his left
foot, be ready to start with your
right. Avoid sliding your feet
along the floor - lift and pass

LeqoI-but Unwise

The Maryland Crime Investigating
Committee, privately financed citizens
law enforcement group, has shown an
extraordinary lack of good judgment in
accepting money gifts from the slot
machine operators of Anne Arundel
County. 1t is beside the point to argue,
as committee officials have, that slot
machines are legal in the county and
that therefore there is nothing wrong"
in taking money from the gambling fra
ternity. This attitude overlookS the fact
that organized gambling, legalized or
otherwise, usually Spawns lawlessneSS of
various kinds.
In digging into the origins of such
lawlessnesS crime investigating COM
mittee ought to be free of even the
slightest suspicion in the public mind
that it may be affected by conflict of
interests" The Maryland group is re-
markably naive if it believes the public
will accept without question the news

dels slot machine "take" is going into

Costro's LoqorYheo

Prime Minister Fidel Castro of Cuba
now has staged another of his bizarre
personal performances. This time he
has done so in one of the military tri-
bunalS he has brought back into action
to mete out summary punishment to
"counter-revolutionaries," and the spec
tacle has amounted to nothing less than
a gross and indecent burleSque of the
most elementary standards of Western
justice.
Thus, standing with his back to
the five Judges" of this jurylesS court"
(located in a theater filled with 1,500
spectators), he spoke for seven hours as
star witness for the prosecution against
Major Hubert Matos, his erstwhile friend
and comrade-in-armS. Mr.. Castro, who
prides himself on having been trained
in the law, has succeeded-as result of
his marathon talk-in having this man
sentenced to prison term of 20 years,
and he has indicated that he is ready to
do the same sort Of job on other Cubans
whose sense of patriotism may impel
them to take issue with his quite strange
and even sinister. government in Ha-
vana.
What crime has Major MatoS COM
mitted? What has he done that war
rants imprisoning him for the next two
decades? Well, after having played
key role in helping Mr.. Castro to seize
the reins of Cuban power, he had the
temerity last October to resign from his
military command and to declare openly,
in manner indicating that he had no
conSpiratorial intent of any kind, that
he wished to return to private life be-
cause he felt that the new Havana
regime had been infiltrated by Commu-
niStS Whereupon, in a manner typical
of revolutions from time immemorial,
his arrest was ordered by the young
Prime Minister, whose flowing beard
sometimes seems to hide a great deal
of garrulous immaturity.
In any case, it seems clear that Mr..
CaStro's Seven-hour harangue against
the hapless Major MatoS-a harangue in
which he forbade Ss-examination-
must be regarded as display of dema-
gogic logorrhea rather than honest legal
procedure. The Cuban Prime Minister
should realize that, sooner or later, this
sort of thing may well be his undoing.
At least it ought to be.

A Champion to Retire

The American labor movement will
seem like house without father when
John L. Lewis carries out his announced
plan to retire as president of the United
Mine Workers. For there is no other
man alive today who perSonifieS in such
forceful and colorful fashion the power
OF the Nations organized workers. And
there have been few indeed in the coun-
tryS economic history, either in labor or
in capital, who have had more dramatic
impact upon the public consciousness.
Although he has spent more than a
half-century in the ranks of labor, it is
only in his later and more mellow years
that Mr.. Lewis has seemed less than
a constantly busy warrior-challengin
Presidents, courts, politicians at every
level, fellow union leaders and the giant
captains of industry. His cause was not
confined by any means to that of the
men who dug coal beneath the ground.
He utilized the weapons of early New
Deal laws to spread unionism into some
OF the great basic industries that never
before had negotiated the terms of
working conditions.
There were times when Mr.. Lewis
was the most controversial-and in some
quarters perhaps the most hated-man
in America. And yet, as the years went
on, it was evident that his thunder
ing eloquence was matched by qualities
OF solid industrial craftsmanship. His
union was one Of the first to accommo-
date itself to the age of mechanization,
and the strength and benefits which
have accrued to his miners are no longer
fought by their industry. Whatever is
remembered most about Mr.. Lewis, it is
safe to say there will be a balance Of
admiration and respect for the record
in its entirety.

Man With q Problem

Governor Nelson Rockefeller is be-
having like a politically ambitious young
man with problem. And that is pre-
ciSely what he is.
The ambition centers upon the Re-
publican presidential nomination, and
the problem is how to create for himself
a political identity without at the same
time antagonizing President Eisenhower
and his administration.
This is going to take quite bit Of
doing, but the Governor is giving it the old
college try. Within a week he has made
three StatementS-one on labor-man-
agement relations, one on the farm Situ-
alton and one on foreign policy. 1t would
be shameful exaggeration to say that
these are clear-cut policy pronounce
mentS which blaze trails and chart new
courses. Nor were they intended to be
such. What they were intended to do,
and to some extent what they actually
do, is create an image of Nelson Rookie
feller which is little different-some-
thing which is not quite carbon copy Of
the program and policies of the admins
tration. The purpose, one may suppose, is
to suggest to the rank-and-file voter II
he is not entirely satisfied with the way
things have been going, if he would like
change without anything so drastic as
going over to the Democrats, then Nell
son Rockefeller has something to offer.
Mr.. Rockefeller may not be too
happy with this strategy. He might very
well prefer to hitch his wagon to the
Eisenhower star, which shows no sign
of setting The trouble is, however, that
Richard M. Nixon seems to have pre-
empted that position. The Vice Presi-
dent, who is keeping very quiet at this
stage of the game, may eventually have
to light a few small fires Of his own
here and there. But he is the prospective
inheritor of the good will which will be
in generous supply next year If the
country remains generally prosperous
and if Mr.. Eisenhower'S peace efforts
seem to be making headway. Further
more, he is way out front in the polls and
certainly has the support of most of the
party leaders. He doesn't have to kick
over any traces, and it would be foolish
for him to do so.
These considerations, taken together,
are fencing in the New York Governor.
They are severely limiting his choices.
Somehow, he must break out of the en-
closure, equip himself with political
identity that is different, but not too
different, and then persuade the primary
voters that they should buy what he has
to offer. To repeat, with about four
months left before the first test, this
is going to take quite bit of doing.

Scent and Seizure

King, AleXandria'S S police dog, seems
to be pretty pleased with himself. At
any rate, after he made his first arrest
the other night, photographs showed
him cavorting around as though he were
a cut or two above ]. Edgar Hoover.
For our part, we think that King
has a few things to learn. And one of
them is that Mr.. Justice Douglas and
the Supreme Court can be expected to
take av very dim view of his performance.
Mr.. Justice Douglas made the
courts attitude plain enough in the
recent decision in the John Patrick
Henry case. FBI agents watched Henry
and companion as they made repeated
trips into an alley in Chicago and loaded
their car with cartons. When they
stopped the car the agents heard one
of the men say: Hold it; it's the Gs.
Tell him he [youl just picked me up"
In the car the agents found several
radios which turned out to have been
stolen. But Mr.. Justice Douglas, speak
ing for majority of the court, said
there was not probable cause to arrest
Henry. An arrest, he said, is not juSti-
fed by what a subsequent search may
disclose. And suspicion is not enough
for an officer to lay hand on citizen.
1t is better that the guilty sometimes go
free than that citizens be subject to
easy arrest"
If this is so, and the court says it
is, where does it leave King? The
Alexandria police learned that tele-
vision shop had been burglarized, and
King was called into the case. With his
master in tow, he went shifting down
the street and finally stopped, still sniff
fing, at parked car Inside, the police
found the crouching figure of one Jessie

ting around like Sherlock Holmes ever
since.
But let's look at the facts. Did King
have probable cause to put the nose
on this citizen2 Undoubtedly he smelled
Coins, just as the FBI men saw and
heard Henry in Chicago, but did he
know at the time that the TV sets had
been stolen? Did King, in the Supreme
Courts words, 'have reasonable grounds
tQ believe that the person to be arrested
has committed or is committing a
felony? OF course he did not! And
what we have here, it seems to us, is
clear case of illegal scent and seizure.
King had better watch out for Mr.. JUS
tice Douglas!

The gods. they said, actu-

far removed from human

tention to humanity, except
now and then.
This was, Of course, not
the popularity accepted idea
about the gods. The popu-
lar gods were very meddle-
some people, very big people,
but people at heart, never
thelesS.
A god was always stepping
out of something called a

mean automobile, Jerry.
The god in the machine,
as he was called, was just an
actor in a tragedy, and the
machine was an arrange
ment. Of ropes and pulleys
that would let him down Just
in the nick of time.
A secret group of philos-
ophers had another idea.
They were willing to admit
the gods existed, but if they
existed, and for heavens
sake we have said they did,
haven't we, the gods refused
to worry at all about US, and
no doubt they were very
smart,
These same gods are hid

and if they do, they just
come around with a silly
smile and then disappear

In fact, sometimes it gets
hotter.
This is called the revenge

Sewage Disposal

Would 1t be practical, as
has been proposed by some,
to build costly pumping sta
tions for the disposal Of sew
age from the Dulles Interna-
tional Airport and supposedly
thereby to also accommodate
the inevitable need for sew
ers in the area surrounding
the airport? And. too, it
would seem worthwhile to
note that according to the
proposed plan the sewer line
from the airport would ex-
tend largely through an area
of Fairfax County to the east
where sewer facilities are ad-
jacent, already provided for
or available.
In reference to the fore
going plan, the following sug-
gestion is offered, the advan-
tages of which upon due
consideration. in regard to
engineering feasibility, inevi-
table service requirement and
eventual cost, would seem
obvious: Install an intercept
tor sewer line from the air.
port southeastward through
the natural drainage basin Of
Cub Run, Bull Run and Oc-
coquan watershed to a treat
ment plant on Occoquan
Bay. Such q plan If realized
would not only adequately
serve the airport and sur
rounding area, but could also
serve a vastly greater area of
Fairfax County, none Of
which has sewer facilities,
and in addition parts Of LOU
doun and Prince William
Counties.
In regard to providing for
the need of sewer facilities
and especially in considera-
ton of the Importance Of the
worlds largest, most modern
international jet airport and
naturally the area surround
ing same. would it not, there
fore, be of basic Importance
to remember that what is

Transit Riders Voice Their Likes and DisIikes

After having read that the
Wisconsin avenue and Cabin
John streetcar lines are to be
replaced by bus service, some
questions arose in my mind
as to the expected benefit
from such a change.
Fumes. How is the switch
to buses going to contribute
to the reduction of poisonous
exhaust fumes in the air?
Obviously the use of more
buses is going to make the
matter worse. One has only
to walk down M street in
Georgetown about 5 pm. of a
weekday to see how a city
street can be turned into a
deadly canyon of gas fumes.
Noise. How is the change
going to help in the reduction

Passenger Comfort. How is

going to provide more seats.

for rush-hour commuters, or
is it to be merely a seat

squeezed Gas if in a cattle
carr in a bus is not going to
be any more, comfortable
than being so crushed in q

Vehicle Speed. Is the
change to result in speedier
service? It appears that
most drivers are apt to regard
the streetcar tracks as a sort
of express lane for the troll
leyS. The fact that this lane
is on the left-hand side also
seems to facilitate rapid
streetcar movement except
when a relatively few private
vehicles wish to make a left

BRooKEvILLE ROAD.
StNnar Gle,

Dear Sir:
What do you do when the
place you work downtown is
too hot and you can't do
anything about it?
Il work in a big place
where everything except the
boss is automatic.
1--WE have automatic heat,
light, air conditioning, push
button this. and push button
that, and the thing gets tire
some.
II once worked where heat,
at least, was under your own
control, more or less.
II found that by shutting
the blamed radiator of and
getting rid Of the turner
thing on the valve nobody
else could come along and
turn it on again.
"I wondered why nobody
ever got onto this. The heat
ing engineers, as they called
themselves, came in greasy
overalls and solemnly put in
q new valve.
This was Just a waste Of
time and money, because
they should have known who
got rid Of the old one.
"As a matter of fact. I
had a whole desk drawer full
Of valves, especially turner's.
II wondered what I could
do with these, so the best
thing, I thought was to keep
them. I didn't know but what
I might need them later.
But I was all wrong, as I
so often am.
II have no need for valves
in this new place, the whole
thing is controlled from a
secret center, and we cook or
freeze according to some mys-
terious command.

Office becomes too hot and
yet you can't do anything

That Is all.
Modern life often is con-
trolled by vague figures be-
hind the scenes.
The man who struts his
hour in the limelight, as it
used to be called, is not really
the fellow who counts.
He does his job, but some
body else fingers the keys.
Isn't this apparent on all
sides?
