FORE
and
AFT
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE

Maryland authorities seem to
be confused on several basic is
sues in the present controversy
over the States proposed boat
ing law. They would turn over
all numbering and enforcement
functions to the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission.
The Federal Boating Act of
1858 provided such arrange
ments if the State plan met
certain requirements drawn up
by the Coast Guard.
Up until week ago. Gov.
Willard Tawes was under the
impression that the Federal
Government would collect IS a
year as now proposed in the
State bills. Under regulations
soon to go into effect, the Coast
Guard would collect SIS for all
powered boats over 10 horse
power for the first three years,
and 81 every three years there
after.
Gov. Tawes estimates that
the SIS a year for all boats
regardless of horsepower will
net the State about $4,000 a
year for three years and then
the income would rise to 81 mil
lion. Comments the Governor
in a letter to an active yachts
men living in Prince Georges
County who had objected to
any State law enactment.
IF our State does not act,
after April /, 1860, this amount
will be collected and 90 to the
Federal Government" If the
Coast Guard does the job, it
will be done considerably
cheaper.
The Governor then quite
candidly explains why he is for
State legislation: 1T is because
of the income that our State
will receive from the legislation
that I have given it my sup
port"
| The bills are still some way
from enactment. 1t is hoped
after yesterdays hearings in
Annapolis, that more light has
been shed on the entire
problem.

Wolverine Wonderland

The World Almanac says that the
State of Michigan produces more than
so per cent of the sour cherry crop of
the United States. The taste probably is
widely distributed these days as Michi-
gan residents digest the fruits of parti-
san politics in the capital city of Lansing.
After months of determined incom-
patibility between Democratic Governor
G. Mennen Williams and the Republic
can-controlled Senate, Collapse day"
has arrived and the State is now model
of financial chaos. BY order of the Gov
ernor, State employees are not being paid
and varied other financial obligations
are not being met. Mr.. Williams says
that the States general fund" is caught
with its cash down. 1t would have been
that way two months ago, incidentally,
If he had not persuaded Michigan in
dustry to prepay $35 million in taxes.
Not surprisingly, Mr.. Williams and
his fellow Democrats disagree with the
Republicans on who is really to blame.
They even disagree on whether the State
is really broke, or just has to act that
way. Whatever the truth, it is not much
of way to run State. 1t shouldn't
happen, even in Michigan.

Getting Down to Business

The board of trustees and the adj
visory committee for the proposed Ma
tional Cultural Center are tackling in a
businesslike way the job of raising some
$35 million for the center. This is not
task for amateurs. 1t is an undertake
ing calling for guidance and possibly
management by experts in the art of
raising funds by public subscription.
The board and committee have shown
good judgment, therefore, in employing
an experienced Embarrassing firm to
assist in planning Nationwide drive.
An early start in this campaign is
urgent because of the deadline placed
by Congress on the financial aspect of
the enterprise. The money necessary
to build the great auditorium and its
related facilities must be in hand by
September 2, 1868, or the funds collected
as of that date will have to be turned
over to the Smithsonian Institution.
The time in which to arouse the people
of America to the national Importance
Of the center and to induce them to con-
tribute to its financing is very short,
considering the size of the goal. Thus,
it is well that professional staff has
been called in to get the drive under
way.

ing spree" as first feared. This has been
the record for the first four months of
the session, at least. and neither Speaker
Rayburn nor Senate Majority Leader
johnson has given announcement TO
the bulk OF the extra spending pro-
posals In a recent speech before the
United States Nchamber Of Commerce.
Senator Johnson clearly Endorsed the
balanced budget principle even II sought
by different formula than that adj
vanced by the administration.
Obviously. the budget battle is not
yet assuredly won and there are chances
for the tide 10 turn unfavorable again.
Even so. the current economic rebound
and the unusually strenuous admins
tration campaign for public, and polit-
ical, support Of its position have COM
bined to greatly improve the chances
for responsible iiscal policies.

Lawyers for Indigents

Three bills with common purpose
to provide legal counsel for INDECENT de-
PENDANTS in court-are pending In Con-
gress. They differ in their approaches
to solving this important problem, how
ever. A bill approved by the Senate
judiciary Committee would establish a
"public defender" system here. Two
House bills avoid this system, which has
been criticized as putting the Govern
ment In the anomalous position Of both
prosecuting and defending the same
defendant. OF all the measures, we
believe the one sponsored by House
District Committee Chairman Mcmillan
and favored by the Judicial Conference
OF the District Of Columbia would best
meet the urgent needs Of local indigents.
The public defender plan was
studied by the District Bar Association
and rejected. The Legal Aid Committee
of the District Bar Association recon-
mended the creation Of an agency with
a paid legal stair but with authority to
assign unpaid volunteer lawyers also.
The association disapproved this plan,
but 1t received, in principle, the in
dorsement of the Judicial Conference.
Representative Foley of Maryland has
introduced bill, drafted by the bar,
which would set up single administra-
tor to assign counsel from a panel Of
lawyers who would be paid on a case
basis.
The Mcmillan bill has several adj
vantages over the Foley bill. For ex-
ample, it would create not only full
time STAFF of paid defense lawyers under
control of Seven-member board Of
practicing lawyers, but would permit
employment. when needed, of volunteer
attorneys. The board would write the
rules, appoint a director and supervise
all operations. Moreover, if the esti-
mates are accurate, the Mcmillan bill
would save a lot of money It's cost has
been placed at $250,00O year, as COM
pared with an estimated cost of $750,000
to 81 million year for the Foley bills
system. And the Mcmillan plan would
set basic standards for determining in
digency, instead of leaving the deter
mination to the court (which has no
facilities for investigating claims Of
indigencyl.
We hope the Mcmillan bill will pre-
vail in the House and that the Senate
win accept it. We are confident that
this plan will assure INDECENT defend
ants the kind of diligent legal assist
ance to which every citizen is entitled.
They are not assured of such aid under
the present outmoded system under
which unpaid attorneys are assigned by
the court to such cases.

Brighter Budget Picture

The impressive volume of sharply
improved corporation earnings reports
for the first quarter of 1859 is offering
new hope, and new reason, for a Fed
eral budget in balance in the fiscal year
beginning July /. The hope may be
based upon the prospect fof even higher
revenues than the $77.1 billion estimated
by the administration last January. The
reason may be found in the point made
repeatedly by President Eisenhower and
his staunchest spokesman for fiscal re-
SponSibility, Treasury Secretary Ander-
son, that period of prosperity is the
best of all times for bringing Govern
ment finances into balance. IF not,
when?" is question that has not yet
been answered.
The simplest calculations tend to
support an optimistic view about reve-
nue. estimates received with some Skep-
ticism last winter. An analysis of first
quarter returns by the Wall Street
Journal, for example, shows that Is
major industry groups have reported an
average increase of 81 per cent in net
profits. as compared with the first quar-
ter Of 1858. Only one group, the aircraft
manufacturing industry, ran substan-
tally against this trend, and such pace
makers as steel and automobiles were
significantly higher. On this basis, even
allowing for possible decline in the
third quarter if steel strike mate
rallies, estimated profits for the full
year are projected at a higher figure
than the record SAT billion forecast by
the administration in January.
= Coupled with this brighter revenue
picture, there are some indications that
Congress viii not go as far on spend

100 Years AGO

Wnite medicine men" were
turning serious attention to
Indian remedies a century
ago. The Star, on May 4,
1859, reported: "At the sug-
gestion of the American
Pharmaceutical Association,
the Secretary Of the Interior
has directed the following
circular to be forwarded to
the Indian agents in the en-
ploy Of the Government: sir:
You are requested, as soon
as practicable, to reply to
the following inquiries to be
used in preparing a report
from this Office to the Amer
lean Pharmaceutical Associa-
ton, viz: /. What medical
plants are used by the differ
ent Indian tribes in the vicin-
ity Of your agency? 2. The
medical virtues ascribed by
the Indians to them. 8. In
what latitude are they found?
4. In what quantities can
they be obtained? S. How
near to navigable streams can
they be gathered? 6. What
facilities can be had for send
ing them to market?'"
In a story on May 5, 1859.
The Star merely limited at
reasons for an attempted sui
eide. The story said: Last
evening. between 8 and 9
O'Clock, Jacob Shafer, brick
layer, residing on H street
north. near Seventh, put a
pistol to his ear and fired it.
This morning it is
thought he is likely to re-
cover. It was ascertained
that the pistol was not loaded
with ball. The reason of the
attempt we have not heard
stated, except by way Of con-
lecture. Mr.. Shafer was not
a total abstinence man."

years ago were looking for

Strauss on the Rack

The Senate Commerce Committee.
headed by Chairman Magnuson, is sup.
posed to be investigating the qualinca-
tons of Lewis L. Strauss to be Secretary
OF Commerce in the Eisenhower cabinet.
It is not doing this. Instead, It is holding
open house for a convention Of petty
grudge-nursers.
So Senator Kefauver has come and
gone from the witness stand. His testi-
mony was mish-mash Of insinuation
and innuendo. Such firm accusations as
he made were demolished by Mr.. Strauss
when he was given a chance to answer.
Next came spokesman for the Scien-
Stific community-headed by DR.. David
r.. Inglis, chairman of the Federation
of American Scientists. After reading
the transcript of his testimony, it is fair
to say, we believe, that new record
has been established for irresponsible,
sundocumented and irrelevant accusa-
ton.
1t clearly is pointless to deal with his
testimony in detail. But two things
might be mentioned DR.. Inglis suggested
that Mr.. Strauss, from personal animus,
was the moving force behind the denial
of security clearance to DR.. j. Robert
sOppenheimer in 1854 Nothing is to be
gained by rehashing the oppenheimer
case. But the record ought to show, we
think, that the Atomic Energy Commits
sion denied Dr. Oppenheimer access to
restricted information after long and
thorough hearing. And the security re-
;stfiction was imposed by 4-to-1 vote
of the commission DR.. Inglis also sug-
rgested that, somehow, Mr.. Strauss is
unfit to be Secretary of Commerce be-
cause he urged development of the H
bomb. Senator PaStore, Democrat Of
Rhode Island, knocked this down in
thoroughgoing fashion. We would only
add that the people of this country can
thank their lucky stars-and also Mr..
Strauss, DR.. Teller and Harry Truman
for the fact that the Russians do not
have monopoly of this awesome
weapon.
As for the rest of the Inglis testi-
mony, wen stand on the comment Of
Senator Scott, Republican of PennSyl-
vania He said he had never heard a
statement (which is more vindictive or
more bigoted or more infested with a
venomouS desire for revenge"
1t is time to bring this inquiSition
to an end. The hearing has been drag
ging on since March, and not one fact
of substance has been developed which
even suggests that Mr. Strauss is not
qualified to be Secretary of Commerce.
What more could the hatchet-wielders
want? Unless Senator Magnuson in
tends to discredit his own committee. he
will call for vote, one way or the other,
on the Strauss nomination, thereby per-
hitting the Senate to express its judy
ment On the record which has been
made, that judgment can only be an
overwhelming confirmation of the nom
nation.

Capitol Inconqruity

You are to be commended
for publishing the letter,
Market Site Protested" 1t
brings to the attention Of all
the threat to the beauty Of
Capitol Hill and the Mall.
One thing the writer did not
stress was the fact that about
$40 million are being spent
on the east front of the
Capitol. Also two new build
ings, one for the Senate and
the other for the House. are
being erected on Capitol Hill.
Why then improve the east
front and disf1gure the APP
proach from the west by a
market, which at best is an
unsightly place during many
hours of the day? Visitors
to Washington do not expect
to find the Capitol in q mar
ket area.
