facility. II used TO capacity, will
not sufiice for some particular
corridor"
Gen. yelling said that in
traffic corridors where no rail |
transit is now proposed, the
reservation Of a center strip
for possible transit use later
makes sense. But where rail
transit is needed now, he said,
the emphasis should be placed |
on transit instead Of highway
construction.
A number of such ideas as
this are expected during the
hearings - particularly from
citizen groups which want the
dominant emphasis placed on
transit development.
Transit Firms to Testify
The hearings also will give
the D. C. Transit Co. and
Maryland and Virginia private
transit operators their first
chance to sound of on the
planners study. None of them
participated in the lengthy
study, and all are scheduled to
testify.
Senator Bible has served
notice that he will discourage
hassles about specific freeway
routes, on grounds that spe-
cific proposals are premature
at this point. He takes the po-
sition also that interstate COM
pact legislation to- set up a
Washington area transit regu-
latory commission, which has
been referred to the House and
Senate Judiciary Committees,
is outside his committees juris-
diction.
Both Maryland and Virginia
officials, nevertheless, are ex-
pected to urge Congress to
ratify the regulatory compact
as the first step toward area
cooperation in transportation.
Costs and Benefits
A major problem in the pro-
posed $2.5 billion freeway-
transit plan is that its cost
is largely in the District while
its benefits are largely for sub
urbanites. District groups are
expected to emphasize this dis
parity.
Strong concern also is ex-
pected to be voiced by the Fine
Arts Commission and others
about the impact of unlimited
freeway construction on the
Nations Capital. These con-
Germs are expected to be &C
companied by pleas for in
creased emphasis on better
transit.
In addition to the problem
OF paying for rapid transit, the
planners report said serious
financial deficiencies loom in
the construction of highways
needed to meet future needs

a three-year study. In general.
the planners report maintained
that q vastly expanded system
of freeways as well as a new
subway transit system is essen
tial to meet the needs Of a
Washington area population of
8 million-expected in 1880. |
The regional population is now
about 2 million.

poets, the planners proposed
immediate formation Of q Fed
eral corporation" which ideally
would be taken over later by:
q local agency set up by inter-
state compact.
This organizational problem
is the crux Of the joint commit
tees concern - to determine
what kind Of legislation 1t
should recommend to Congress
to pick up where the planners
study left of.
A number OF witnesses, in
cluding planning and Transport
tation experts from all parts
lof the country, are expected
to criticize some of the PLAN
lners' findings and to maintain
a need for further study.

for adequate consideration of
the planners long studies.
Advising u.s." he said, was
perhaps the finest group of
technical experts in this field
that has ever been pulled to-
gether. We hope their recon-
mendations are not lightly cast
aside"
The first few days of the
hearing will deal largely with
the basic studies of area growth
land traffic projections which
determined the freeway and
transit needs recommended by
the planners. Most citizen
groups will testify near the end
Of the hearings, along with
local officials Of the region.
Engineer Commissioner A. c..
yelling said the District Com
missionerS' official views were
sent to the Budget Bureau in a
letter, which he could not dis
close. He said it may be dis
cussed when the Commission
ers testify on Thursday.
Automobiles Seen Favored
| Apart from the official re-
port, however, he said he had
some new ideas on the trans
portation system.
One concerned a recon-
mendation by the planners that
rights of way for rapid transit
be acquired Immediately in the
center strips of new freeways
which go under construction.
Gen. yelling said he was
afraid that if motorists are
given an equal choice of using
a freeway or a rail transit line
along a single route that the
transit would suffer.

The driver, who was in a some

to shed much light on why he had

FIFTH RELEASE

Released Wednesday, July 22, 1853
The University School of Law
celebrated its Tooth Anniversary in
the Spring of 1854, at which time
R. ]. Farley wac its Dean. With
the result of a travesty upon the
memories of its former illustrious
leaders, there was invited to the
centennial celebration, as the prin-
cipal speaker and most honored
guest, the most successful integra-
ZIONIST in the nation, Justice Felix
Frankurter, of the Supreme Court
of the United States who, before
coming on the Court, had served
as a member of the Legal Com
mittee of the NAACP.
In the early summer of 1854,
after the indignation decision of
May 18th of that year, Dean Far
ley, in a speech before the NUM-
cipal Officers Association at Biloxi,
told his audience that the State of
Mississippi could not ''outsmart"
the Supreme Court, and recon-
nended that our state comply with
he decision.
About the month of December,
1856, Dean Farley was one of a
group of 100 who signed a nationally
publicized statement in support of
the U. S. Supreme Court integra-
ton decisions, which statement was
inspired by the American Civil
Liberties Union, a communist front
organization, ana also by a dubious
segment of the Harvard Alumni
Society.
The background of the above
statement was brought out in tes-
timony given before the U. S.
Senate Internal Security Subcomr
oittee on February q, 1858, by
Ernest Angel, of New York City,
he Chairman Of the Board of Di-
rectors of the above A.C.L.U.,
vhich testimony is recorded on
page 7247 of the Congressional Re
cord of May 6, 1858. Angel testi-
ed that II sent out the statement
0 this larger group after some 80
= 40 of us had already indicated
)Ur approval of it." Thus by his
-vn testimony, Angel sent the
statement to Dean Farley, who CO.
aerated by signing it.
Dean Farley is publicly known

ration cases are the foremost ex-
nple. In 1855, before the annual

insufficient evidence to subtsanti-
lte their claims, and by those who,
n an irresponsible and "half-
baked manner, confuse Socialists
md even Liberals" with Com
munists.
On such occasions the embattled
professors have merely screamed
'Witch-hunt' and shown up their
accusers as not knowing what they
were talking about.
We pass no judgment on the
claims of White and Hooker; all
he evidence has not yet been sub
United.
Although the dissatisfaction of
the people with propaganda in the
classroom has often been exploited
in an unfortunate way by dema-
gogues, we feel that such dissatis-
faction is not without some basis
in fact.
Many professors are not content
with mere teaching; they also feel
they must preach and propagan-
die for their own personal view
points.
Teachers, like anyone else, have
a perfect right to their opinions,
and to freedom of speech in ex-
pressing themselves.
Nevertheless, the teacher in a
state-supported institution is an en-
ploye of the people of Mississippi.
and, as such, ne is obliged to teach
facts and not his personal opin-
ions in the classroom.
If he wants to express his own
personal opinion let him do so on
his own time, and not before an
audience of young people who have
reason to trust a university or col
lege as a source of unbiased fact.
Furthermore, the same young
people are sometimes not intellec-
tually experienced enough to separ
ate fact and opinion, especially il
they are presented by a sophist
who is regarded as an expert in
the field he teaches and as an all
round scholar.
If we had less propaganda in the
classroom we would have fewer
"witch-hunts and teacher-investi-
cations.

THE OCTOBER SKY

October is a month in which the great
Milky Way is lovely feature of the autumn
sky. It curves almost through the center of
the celestial hemisphere from northeast to
west
In this great belt of five billion diamonds,
the five first-magnitude stars, reading from
east to west, are Aldebaran, Capella, Deneb,
(almost overhead), Vega and Affair.
You will note, if you will study the sky
one night this month, that the Big Dipper is
descending close to the horizon in the north,
at about nine or ten o'clock, and will sink
even further as the night grows older. 1t will
rise later in the night, and at early morning
it will be riding somewhat high in the east.
At this very moment the Milky Way will
bisect the heavens from north to south.
Fomalhaut still dominates the southern
sky in October, as it did in September, and
will do so throughout most of the month OF
November. 1t is falling rather low in the
southwest, by d-November, and you can
notice that it becomes redder from now until
then-as more dusk in the atmosphere OBJ
structs the view
Fomalhaut is an interesting star, having
been worshipped at about 500 B. c., and hav-
ing been known by the odd name of the First
Frog.
1t never rises high in the horizon, and
reaches it's greatest height about the middle
of October, and is at it's brightest this month; [;
you will see it, all alone in the southern heav-
ems, and all the more conspicuous for that
reason.
