III, YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
How to Cut Bank Service choroes

You're a typical middle-in-
come bank customer II you
maintain a regular checking
account which you use to pay
your bills and a savings ac-
count IN. the same bank into
which you try to siphon as
much cash as you can.
You may be wasting" some
Of your own money by so do
ing because the low balance In
your checking account is sub
jecting you to a monthly serv-
ice charge. BY transferring a
sufficient sum from your saw
ings to your checking account,
you could in some cases offset
the charge and save money
"A depositor should talk to
his banker about this and find
Iout what amount might be
needed to Offset the COSTS" says
George r. Amy. deputy man
ager of the American Bankers
Association. 1T seems such a
simple idea. but most people
don't realize how to cut bank
service charges.
In yesterdays column, re-
ported to you that bank service
charges are going up all over
the country and that the ABA
Is encouraging Its member
banks to analyze exactly how
much each checking account
costs so they can adjust charges
accordingly. While was dis
cussing this with Mr.. Amy, I
said. Assume I'm a typical
checking account depositor and
that I'm throwing away money
by not handling my account
properly. Tell me ways I can
save by minimizing the
charges"
Money-Saving Hints
This he did and here they
are-l0 money-saving hints for
you on bank checking accounts.
Cd The first you've lust read.
Cd II you're paying of sew
eral monthly debts-each with
q separate check. of course--it
may be feasible to consolidate
the debts and pay with one
check. Banks charge from 2
to 7 cents for each check.
80 Similarly. If you're in the
habit Of writing lots Of little
checks ($5 here. $40 there)
change your habit now. Write
one big one and allocate your
spending to carry you through
a specified period.
90 If you can't maintain a
balance Of several hundred dol
lars in a regular account and
you don't ordinarily write more
than five or 10 checks a month,
you'll probably save money by
shifting to a special checking
account. In a special account,
no minimum balance is requir-
ed and the charge is per check
as a rule-usually 10 cents a
check.
60 On the other hand, If you
do maintain a large balance
and do write lots of checks. a
special account is not for you
and If you have one. switch 70
a regular account. Said Mr.
Amy. "One banker told me OF
a depositor who had a special
checking account In which he
kept a balance of over $4,000
A ridiculous waste of money.
Keep Down Deposits
60 Keep down the number
Of individual deposits in your
checking account. More and
more banks are imposing and
raising charges on each deposit
ticket.
90 If the practice in your
family is to have two or more
little checking accounts-for
convenience, discipline or some

The Evidence Is In

At the public hearing on locating an
access freeway to the Chantilly-par-
don us, Dulles Observation-Disclosures
the other day, there was a rare bit Of
good-natured rubbing about the de-
Struction of Confederate fort by the
Federal Aviation Agency'S Yankee"
conSultants. This brief excursion into
humor, however, generated no fellow
ship among the Fairfax County dis
putants. The hearing only Substanti-
ated what everyone knows about these
things: The highway is going to play
havoc wherever it goes, and a lot OF
people are bound to be unhappy.
The public meeting, nevertheless,
did perform an essential Service-it
gave property owners chance to rebuff
proposals by the FAA conSultantS, Am
mann Whitney, that 412-mile por-
ton of the freeway should be located
south of the general corridor" in which
FAA first indicated a selection. The
complaints against the shift, it seems
to us, more than Offset the advantages
cited by the consultantS. AS we under
stand them, the advantages boil down
to a saving of money due mainly to
drainage and typographical conditions.
Against this, however, is substantial
disruption of established communities,
especially in the Holly Hills and Four
Corners areas, in sharp contrast to the
northern routes passage through rela-
lively open farmland. And since so
much of point has been made about
costs, would land acquisition costs not
be considerably higher in the South
ern" location?
One witness at the hearing charged
that the FAA conSultants have tended
to consider people as Statistics" FAA
Director QueSada, by calling the special
public hearing, has already offered
proof to the contrary. And it is worth
noting that he also has promised to
give full consideration" to all the testi-
mony. We hope his final decision re-
solves the controversy, without the de-
lay which will be inevitable If threat
ened hearings must be held on Capitol
Hill

Those Who Wait

New York'S up-and-coming Cover
nor Rockefeller does not strike us as
the type who would bet his last dime
or stake his political future on the magic
of familiar quotations. OF course, one
can never tell about these things, and
we have noted with some interest that
Vice President Nixon has been brushing
up on his proverbs in preparation for
his coming verbal jouSt with Mr.. Khru-
shchev, who, it is said, uses both hands
to toss out proverbs when he is not using
them to brandish his missiles.
So Governor Rockefeller may be
proverb- minded man after all. At any
rate, there are times when he acts like
a chap who really believes that "all
things come to those who watt" includ-
ing such things as the Republican preSi-
Dental nomination. There are other
times, however, when he seems to be
the kind who is distrustful of frag-
mented maximS, man who wants the
whole story, the kind who remembers
that the observation to the effect that
all things come to those who wait is
followed by another line which says:
They come, but often come too late"
Governor Rockefeller was cast in
this latter role, we thought, in his tele-
vised Sunday appearance on Meet the
Press" He is waiting, and for obvious
political reasons he has to wait, but he
did not talk as though he plans to wait
until after the Republican version of
the White House special has pulled out
of the station.
Thus, he told a queStioner that,
while his name has not been entered in
the New Hampshire primary, If it should
be entered he would want to appraiSe
such a situation at the time it develops
and act accordingly. He is not now
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton, and merely hopes to do the best
possible job as Governor of New York.
He does not want to testify before a
Senate committee with respect to the
Presidents veto of the Democratic houS-
ing bill; he thinks such labor-manage-
ment disputes as the steel strike should
be settled with minimum of Govern
e ment intervention, and he believes that
Sound, solid economic growth and the
adequacy of job opportunities and our
competitive position in the world scene"
constitute our most important national
issue.
All this is strictly according to the
political book, and if we may be per-
mitted a free wheeling Interpretation,
it means that Rocky" prepoSterouS
tag which the public relations men are
hopefully trying to pin on Nelson AL
drich Rockefeller, is going to bide his
time, but will be very much available
if it looks in 1860 as though the light
ming is about to strike.

what the jobs Of all depart

are performing in our jobs.
BY making frequent rounds
in the hospital day and night,
DR.. owen has seen all of us
at work.
For the first time, the hos

Suddenly Sensitive

Nikita Khrushchev has displayed an
uncharacteriStic degree OF SenSitivity In
abruptly calling of his projected visit
to Scandinavia. In terms Of tempera-
ture, humidity and things like diScom-
fort indexes, the climate Of Denmark,
Norway and Sweden is reasonably salu-
briouS at this time Of year. but the Soviet
Premier apparently has based his stay
home decision on forecasts predicting
inclement theological or propagandiStic
weather If he should go ahead with his
planned tour Of the three countries, and
of Finland as well.
The Kremlin, at any rate, has ex-
planned in formal notes to all the gov
ernmentS involved that the great man
has been moved to cancel or postpone
the trip because of inhoSpitable and
even hostile press comment in Scandi-
navia. Further, according to the notes,
he has done so because of threats by
certain political groups in the region
to cold-Shoulder him-and perhaps even
parade with uncomplimentary placards
in protest against his international
policies and his dropping in on such
places as Copenhagen, Oslo and Stock
holm. Hence, describing this as an "anti-
Soviet campaign" and singing out "neu-
trail" Sweden for special criticism, Mos
COW has Indignantly declared that Mr..
Khrushchev, faced with such actual
or potential unpleasantrieS, has been
obliged to tell his travel agents that
he's changed his mind.
This sudden cancellation has come
as a shock of sorts to all the Danish,
Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish off,
Gals who have been working for weeks
past on elaborate programs of hoSpi-
tally aimed at showing him and his
family a good time. The shock is I'M
derStandable, not least Of all because
the Soviet Premier has never appeared
to be thin-Skinned before, but has in
fact-aS in the case of his visit to Brit
ain in 1955-tended to laugh off pre-
liminary unfriendly comment of the
type that seems to have offended him
now. Why he should have become so
sensitive overnight is hard to under
stand, especially since he has goaded
ScandinavianS within recent days with
some rather menacing talk about Den
marks and Norway'S participation in
NATO'S mutual defenseS against the
threat of aggression.
Indeed, everything considered, it
seems difficult to believe that Mr.. Khru-
Shchev has Cancelled his trip just because
of unfavorable comment from a num-
Der of newspapers and individuals. That
is why there is so much speculation at
the moment regarding the true reason
for his decision. Perhaps, as some have
suggested, he is not in the best of health,
or maybe this is his way of trying to
intimidate the Scandinavian countries
by demonstrating that he is gravely
displeaSed with their pro-WeStern poll
cieS. But one can only guess about these
matters Generally speaking, the Krem-
lin is as enigmatic now as in Stalin's day.

parting, they painted half dozen swas-

less destruction is the authentic mark
of the vandal. If these people had any

Fleet Admiral Leohy

It was after he had retired" and
turned away from the sea that Fleet
Admiral William D. Leahy contributed
his greatest service to his country.
In the summer of 1912, barely seven
months after the United States had
been plunged into the greatest war in
history, President Roosevelt established
the new post of Chief of Staff to the
Commander of all the Nations Armed
Forces. To fill this job, as we'll as to
define it, Mr.. Roosevelt selected Ad-
miral Leahy, and for the rest of the war
years the Iowa-born career sailor was a
central figure in the planning and CO.
ordination of the allied war effort.
Admiral Leahy brought to the as
Signment no illusions about the task
ahead. In one of his few public utter
anceS at the time, he warned that the
Nation faced "the toughest, hardest,
most mercileSS war we have ever fought.
The price we will pay to redeem the
future of mankind will be the highest
ever paid" In large part, the admiralS
evaluation in that instance was based
upon his f1rSt-hand observations as our
Ambassador to the French Government
at Vichy where he saw and described
dramatically the misery and degrade
ton suffered by an Axis
country.
During his two years at Vichy, i'm
mediately preceding the White House
assignment, Admiral Leahy displayed
also the diplomatic SkillS that were so
essential to his role, not only as the
Presidents Chief of Staff for all our
own services but in liaiSon with those
of our allies. On the purely military
side, his competence had been demon
strated in long service that was CHI
NAKED by assignment from 1887 to 1889

dulles Airport

With all due respect to the
President and to the late and
lamented Mr.. Dulles, I think
it is a great mistake to name
the new airport for Mr..
Dulles rather than designat-
ing 1t as the Chantilly Inter-
national Airport.
There are many ways in
which a great mans memory
can be perpetuated but there
is generally only one way in
which the historic past of a
particular area can be en-
Shrined. This is particularly
true of the Chantilly area.
When such a vast section Is
turned over to modern day
necessities and its natural
name is eliminated, the his
toric consciousness of great
events and rich associations
of the past is bruSquely
brushed aside.
