EASTON. Md, July 27 (AP).
"A policeman's attempt to give
a traffic ticket to a motorist
here yesterday led to a bottle

Attorneys Debate
z Proposals for
INDECENT Counsel

Two local attorneys agreed
yesterday that the District ur-
gently needs a new system to
provide legal counsel for in
digents-but they disagreed on
what system would be best.
Kenneth N. Parkinson, for II
years chairman Of the District
Bar Associations Committee
for Compensation for Assigned
Counsel. said he favored the
appointment of private at
torneys, with compensation
provided from public funds.
Francis w. Hill. chairman of
an American Bar Association
subcommittee on defense of the
INDECENT here. said he wanted
a public defender system. with
a full-time staff supported by
Government funds.
The lawyers stated their
views on Radio Station WWDC's
District Roundtable program.
The moderator was Ronald E.
Madsen.
Currently compensation for
attorneys appointed to defend
indigents here is dependent
upon the defendants ability to
pay. Two bills have been intro
duced in Congress to change
the system. The proposed legis-
lation of Representative Foley,
Democrat Of Maryland, would
institute the plan Endorsed by
Mr.. Parkinson. Mr.. Hills pro-
posal is contained in a bill
of Representative Mcmillan,
Democrat of South Carolina,
chairman of the House District
Committee.

Chorred Bodyin Barn
Ends Staying Monhunt

FERRUM CROSSROADS,
Va, July 81 (AP) Burial serv-
ices we're held today for Earl
B. Smith, convicted moon
sinner whose resistance to ar
rest on a double murder charge
erupted Saturday into a gun
battle with police and Smiths
death in a blazing dairy barn.
The charred remains of the
30 year old desperate, who
was released only a week ago
from a federal reformatory,
were found yesterday in the
blackened timbers of the barn
he had used as a fortress
against law officers, a military
tank and two armored cars.
Smith had been sought since
the fatal shooting Friday at
Bassett of his brother-in-law
and an 8-months-old niece.
He was discovered when State
Trooper James H. Martin en-
tered the barn and caught a
rifle slug in the chest from
Smiths 80 caliber rifle.
The 27-year-old law officer
remained in critical condition
at a Rocky Mount hospital to-
day after undergoing an emer-
gency operation and receiving
81 blood transfusions.
IN the hours that followed
Smiths discovery, more than a
hundred law officers were mo-
bilized at the scene. Some
1000 persons watched the
drama from nearby hillsideS as
a barrage of shotgun, rifle and
machine gun fire and 20 tear
gas shells was poured into the
wooden structure.
Smith countered with several
rifle shots but refused to sur

render even after the impas-
stoned pleas of his father over
a loudspeaker left the older
man exhausted and in tears.
Late in the evening flames
were noticed in the barns hay
loft and police rested their
weapons. In minutes the huge
barn was a mass of flames.
The victims of Smiths shoot
ing at Bassett were Marvin Lee
Whorley, IS, and his infant
daughter. Police said Smith
may have been angry because
his wife, who had lived with
the Whorleys recently. had
lodged an assault complaint
against him.

New Parkway Threat

In its economy cutbacks on Federal
park expenditures in the Washington
area, the House dealt Gripping blows to
several projects which should be care
fully reconsidered by the Senate.
Among the foremost was a new
edict that Maryland portion of the
George Washington Memorial Parkway,
now being built up the Potomac River
from the District line in Montgomery
County should stop at the Cabin John
bridge instead of continuing six miles
farther to Great Falls. Park officials
had asked funds to continue conStruc-
ton two miles beyond Cabin John next
year, and these we're denied. The real
damage in the House action, however,
was perpetrated by the House Appro-
priations Committee, which wrote into
its budget report the sudden decision
that Cabin John should be the final
terminal
The strange thing about this action
is that Congress for years has been con-
tributing money to buy parkway right
of-way to Great Falls. The land now
is intact and construction plans-f-
nanced by previous appropriationS-are
complete for the next two-mile section.
Unlike other portions of the historic
parkway, opposition from residents is
not factor. Park officials even have
money in hand to begin the further
extension, but their hands are tied by
the ill-advised wording of the committee
report.
If the restriction holds, motorists
will be denied one of the most beauti-
full drives in the National Capital Area,
and the land already purchased will be
useless. From a committee which ira
ditionally is so concerned with saving
money, 1t is unusual to see the waste
that this action would cause.

Worth Looking Into?

Houston, Texas, repeatedly is living
in the happy financial circumstance of
not needing to find new sources of mu-
nicipal revenue-a most unusual situa-
ton in these days. The explanation, ac-
cording to the Wall Street Journal, is
that the city has been taking in some
$250,000 annually in oil royalties from
wells drilled in the city dump. Further
more, now that the dump threatens to
run dry or, in other words, to be just
dump and nothing more, the city fathers
have discovered promise of petroleum
underneath the city prison farm.
Unfortunately, such richly blessed
dumps, or even prison yards, are not
widely available. There is an old rumor,
however, that money grows on trees
and it seems almost as logical as pump
ing it up from beneath the daily collec-
ton Of trash.

M. Nehru's Tiqhtrope

These are rather trying days for
Prime Minister Nehru and his policy
vis-a-vis Communist China As he him.
self has suggested, he is cautiously feel
ing his way in an effort to cope effec-
lively with what threatens to be con-
tinuation, or perhaps even worsening,
of "the difficult and embarrassing stu
atoms already created" by the Tibetan
revolt and the Dalai Lama's escape to
India.
Accordingly, given such circum-
stances, it is understandable why three
considerations are uppermost in Mr..
Nehru's mind. He has listed these as
~ India's security, (2) his govern
ments desire to maintain cordial rela-
tions with Red China, and (3) his own
and his countrymen's strong sympathy
for the Tibetans. The first two are
linked together, and they explain why
he has refrained from openly condemn
ing Peiping's pitiless military action
against the rebels. AS for the third, it
Is something else again. Because of it,
he has not hesitated to grant asylum to
the Dalai Lama-but with the UNDER
standing that the young Buddhist god
king will not engage in political activi-
ties of a sort that could arouse the
wrath of the Mao Tze-tung regime and
create serious strains between the In
dams and the Chinese Communists.
At the same time, while thus striv-
ing to deal sympathetically with the
Tibetans without offending their brutal
oppreSsors in Peiping, Mr.. Nehru has
dashed out at midas Communists as dis
loyal and ''uprooted" evildoers who have
shown "a certain lack of balance in
mind and total absence of feelings of
decency and nationality" He has paid
them this well-deserved compliment in
answer to their thoroughly mendacious
charge that the revolt in Tibet, has had
its roots, its source of inspiration and its
command center in a hotbed of elm
perialiSt" spies based on Indian terri
tory. OF course, since this lie has been
loudly voiced by Red China's propa-
gandistS, Mr.. Nehru's bitter criticism of
it ought to have been addressed to them
as well, but his anxiety to be friendly"
with the Mao regime apparently has i'm
PEELED him to hold his tongue.
There are obvious inconsistencies in
all this, and Mr.. Nehru himself has ac-
knowledged the fact But he is walking
a sort of tightrope in situation that
requires him, as he sees it, to balance,
adjust and sometimes make difficult
choices" Perhaps he has no other al
Tentative, but what he is doing certainly
makes his "neutralism" look much less
than fortnight or attractive-even to
Peiping, which it is supposed to appease.

Our Rights in the Air

The Soviet note on our recent high
altitude flight into Berlin looks suspi-
ciously like preliminary propaganda
maneuver related to next months for
eign ministers conference in Geneva.
Thus the note describes the flight as
deliberate advance attempt to "worsen"
the outlook for the forthcoming negoti-
ations, If not to wreck" them alto
gether. And this in turn suggests that
the Kremlin is seeking to place the onus
on our country for failure that has
not yet occurred
: Actually. the fight in question
during which Soviet fighters buzzed
our plane-involved an Air Force C-13O,
a new-type turbo-prop transport which
achieves its best operating efficiency at
attitudes ranging from 10000 to $4,000
feet. The Kremlin's objection is that
we have no right to fly it into Berlin at
ceiling higher than 10000 feet. Quite
properly, however, our Government has
fatty rejected the complaint for very
good and simple reason-namely, that
there is nothing written or implied in
any existing agreements that supports
the Soviet position. So we have served
notice that the C-13O, whenever it is
used on this particular run, will not be
limited to the height the Russians insist
upon.
This does not mean, of course, that
the C-130 will be sent flying at attitudes
OF 10000 feet or more without prior no
LITIGATION through Berlin's Air Safety
Center, in which the Russians partici-
pate. But it does mean that the United
States is not going to control such
flights on the basis Of non existing reg
ulations which the Soviet Union chooses
to read into existing agreements The
Krenllin may inveigh against this, as
well as against some Of our other legiti-
mate air runs elsewhere, as part of its
propaganda prelude to- next months
Genepa meeting. Butswe and the rest
of the free world nave certain clear
rights in the matter. and these we must
cling to without any yielding.

disclaimer of responsibility
in the matter of the vivi-
Sected frog on exhibit at the
Northern Virginia Science
Fair is a little difficult to
understand. Surely the
superintendent is charged
with the duty of establishing
the type and form of teach
ing in the schools under his
jurisdiction.
Our organization feels that
any basic educational pro-
cedure which promotes
practices which are cruel can
have an extremely adverse
effect on the behavior pattern
Of a child in the formative
years. School children are,
presumably. taught kindness
and consideration for and
justice toward all living
creatures as a vital part in
their preparation for living
in an adult world. Any prin-
ciple of teaching contrary
to this must likewise affect
their concepts as an adult and
can conceivably lead to NAL
adjustment.
Should cruel and inhuman
treatment of any sentient
creature be accepted as basic
educational procedure in the
high schools of Alexandria?
