No 'Riqht' to Drive

The theory underlying so-called
implied consent" legislation on drunken
driving is the sound one that operating
an automobile on a public highway is
a privilege, not right. In granting this
privilege to qualified persons, therefore,
the State has right to exact certain
conditions. The condition involved in
a law proposed by the Virginia Advisory
Legislative Council is that the applicant
for a permit must agree that his accept
ance of the license constitutes implied
consent to take chemical tests if ar
rested for drunken driving. And if he
should renege on this implied consent,
his permit would be forfeited.
New York already has such a law
and it is said to be working well. It's
legality has been upheld in the States
courts. The law is as fair to the in
nocent driver as to one who is guilty.
The innocent driver has nothing to fear
from scientific test of the amount of
alcohol in his system. Results of the
tests can convict the guilty, however
Or, if he refuses to take the tests, he
will be deprived of his permit to drive.
The menace of the intoxicated mo-
toriSt is such as to warrant stern meas
ures to rule him off the highways. The
implied consent" proposal has proved
to be effective against this menace
where it has been tried. Virginia is
justified, therefore, in considering its
adoption as part of broad program to
make the States roads safer for all.

Brave Vote for Morality

People anywhere who live under the
shadow of tyranny, today or tomorrow,
should be heartened by the United Ma
tons vote on Tibet. For in approving
the temporarily worded Irish-Malayan
resolution expressing concern at the
violence done to human rights in the
little Himalayan country, forty-five ma
lions had the courage and fortnight
ness to say that the cause of the OPP
pressed is the cause of decent mankind
everywhere.
1t was not the purpose of these
forty-flve, or Of the sponsors of the
resolution, to propose intervention in
the domestic affairs of another state
as some interpreted the action. Nor was
1t their purpose to reinvigorate the cold
war-as others, specifically the Commu-
mist bloc, charged. 1t was, instead, a
determination to let all the world know
that there are standards of morality and
conscience which are not to be set aside
in difference to legalistic doubts or re-
pressed by threat.
1t is possible that the unhappy peo-
PAO Va AAHSV AQCllO1Oy 10
being destroyed under the most cruel
and barbarous of treatment-will reap
no direct benefit from this U. N. express
sion. The toll of lives, of deportations
into Red China, of destruction of prop
erty and of dissertation of culture has
been so great as to discourage even a
hope of recovery. But in paying this
CHASTITY price, the TibetanS have given
to the world new evidence of Peiping's
complete unworthiness to be recognized
in the ranks Of civilized governments.
There were understandable reasons,
perhaps, for the high number of Austen
lions (26) from the U. N. vote. Even
among these, however, there was no
suggestion that their decision implied
an attitude of indifference toward the
Chinese behavior. Only from the dis
Senting bloc of nine Communist states
was there an effort to diStort or defend
one of history's most shocking chapters.
The record Of inhumanity is clear, and
the forty-five who spoke through their
votes to protest it rendered commend
able service to mankind everywhere.

Recognizing Some Facts

The Development Loan Funds de-
ciSion that foreign borrowers should
spend more of their aid money in the
United States is practical recognition
of the fact that times have changed in
the free world economy. 1t is, further
more, relatively mild step-not in
tended to be enforced rigidly, or to
apply to credits already approved but
not yet diSburSed. Of total of $14
billion thus far appropriated for the
DLF, only about $500 million would be
affected by the change in primary
emphasis" -with exceptions allowed
even within this amount. 1t is an exag-
geration to refer to this as a shift to
protectioniSm in Government trade
policies, or to label it as a sweeping
BUY American" campaign.
There are two persuasive reasons
for the decision. One is that we are
currently running an unfavorable bal
ance of payments of about $45 billion
yearly because our "out-payments" of
SIS billion in military aid, economic
assistance and capital investment
abroad exceed our net earnings in nor
NAL export-import trade. AS result,
there has been heavy-even if not
alarming drain upon our gold reserves.
At some point, such a drain must be
slowed, if not stopped, and the admin
iStration has indicated in the recent
past that such point was near.
The second reason is that other
industrial nations of the free world have
recovered economically, with our help
as well as by their own efforts, to point
where they are able to assume a greater
share of financing aid to the underde-
veloped countries. A policy of unre-
Stricted American loans has permitted
the needy countries to buy elsewhere
in effect financing part of the export
trade of other now-proSperouS Western
nations at cost to our own.
In the long run, it is to the unques-
toned interest of all the free nations
as well as to ourselves alone-that the
United States financial position remain
strong. The DLF decision should help
to keep it so.

Impressive Fair Plan

WaShlngtOnS chances OF gettlng the
1864 Worlds Fair undoubtedly have been
materially improved as a result of the
presentation to a presidential commits
sion of the city'S spectacular and i'm
presSive plans for such an exposition.
It is evident from the prospectus I'M
folded to the commission that our city
enviSionS-and is prepared to develop
a show of the magnitude, dignity and
attractiveness befitting America and its
Capital.
There is nothing small about the
concept of the fair as detailed to the
commission by District Commissioner
Mclaughlin and his enthusiastic local
delegation. The proposed $3.50 million
undertaking would compare favorably
with anything of its kind in the past
or suggested for the future. On 5000
acre site near Largo, in nearby Prince
Georges County, Maryland, would be
built veritable fairy city of huge exhi-
bition halls, amusement places and other
attractions. The moderniStic structures,
many of them designed for permanency,
would surround a lagoon and gardens,
with fountains, rest areas and recrea-
tional facilities.
The permanent type of construction
was planned for purpose-that of con-
verting the project into a continuing
center for trade expositionS and public
entertainment. The Largo area thus
would become the site of a permanent
exposition city," to the advantage not
only Of nearby Maryland but of the
whole Metropolitan Area. Governor
TaweS of Maryland already has given
his Endorsement and has promised the
States support of the whole fair plan.
The earnest and imaginative group
OF local citizens which prepared and
presented the local case for the fair
deserve the praise and backing of the
entire community. These citizens have
worked long and tireleSsly on the plans,
including the financing problems, and
are confident that, given the opportu-
nifty, they can stage a show of which
Washington, the Nation and the world
at large can be proud. We hope the
Presidents commission was sufficiently
impressed to grant that opportunity.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

have worn the beginning Of
a path.
Not a one of these persons,
in all probability, thinks of
doing harm.
There is just something in
human beings that makes
them want to save a few
steps.
This is all the more in
sane, today, when people do
not walk enough, and could
really help themselves by
always taking the long way
round.
Il y Il
There was one man who
bought himself a beautiful
6-acre place on the Potomac,
and hoped to settle down for
life.
He soon found that his
place was being used as a
pathway to a transit bus.
He stopped one woman and
told her she was trespassing
on private property.
But what am I to do?"
she asked Indignantly.
Such people usually forget
that they are not the only
person involved.
If it were just one nice
person trampling across, it
wouldn't be too bad, but
when the number grows and
grows, then that is different.
One lady out our way, who
has a corner property, has
planted hedges and used
stakes and wire, and has
achieved more or less respect
for her lawn.
Now and then she has to
admonish thoughtless peo-
pie, and maybe this might
be a suggestion to our cor
respondent.
The thing to do is to speak
with a smile.

Worth Trying

=. Although some Western diplomats
are said to be skeptical, it is difficult to
see why there should be any serious
objection to the Kremlin's plan to have
the United Nations General Assembly
call. an international scientific confer
ence ION the exchange of experience in
exploring space"
AS explained by Soviet sources in
the U. NJ, the conference would be or
gained and run in essentially the same
manner and Spirit as the 1855 Geneva
meeting on the peaceful uses of nuclear
power-a historic gathering (sponsored
primarily by the United States) that
laid the groundwork for the establish
ment of the highly promising 72-nation
International Atomic Energy Agency.
Certainly a similar get-together on space
could do no harm, but might well prove
to be very fruitful, and the Russian pro-
poSal merits an affirmative response for
that reason.
1t is true, of course, that the Soviet
Union, together with Czechoslovakia,
Poland India and the United Arab Re-
public, is still boycotting the U. MS Spe-
cial 18-nation committee on ways and
means of promoting worldwide COOP
Grafton in nonmilitary Spatial ventures.
But this negative position is subject to
change. In any event, in proposing an
international space conference, the
Kremlin has given the impression that
1t is sincerely interested in the idea of
collaborating with other countries for
more rapid progress in exploring outer
space" for the benefit of peoples
everywhere.
- Accordingly, if words may be taken
at face value, there is reason to believe
that the KhruShchev government is in
a mood to be cooperative in this field,
and its desire for special gathering
on the subject may mean that it can
be persuaded to end it's boycott of the
U. N. committee. If so, the world can
hope for some ADVANCING matter how
straightforward an agreement aimed at
exploring and exploiting the heavens
around us in a way that will promote
peace and progress throughout the
world-peace and progress of sort that
could eliminate the terrible danger Of
missile warfare.
So the Soviet Unions advocacy Of
a full-dreSS international space conclave
deserves to be welcomed in the U. N.

Nikito and Mao

Constantine Brown (Octo-
Der I'D warns us against be-
ing lulled into a Red trap.
Some American officials be-
lieve Nikita Khrushchev is
a man in a hurry to achieve
peaceful coexistence" partly
because he fears the grow
ing power of his ally, Red
China. Mr.. Brown reminds
us it is Gin the distant fu-
ture" that Red China can
become a real threat to
Moscow. However, it is of
more immediate interest that
Khrush hev might really
want peace to develop the
economy of the USSR, espe-
cially since his Boosting con-
sists more of promise than
achievement. He cannot even
make a show of keeping his
statistical promises if Russia
has to go to war. China, on
the other hand, is so much
a have-not nation that it is
even poor in the ability to
make promises, and thus
thinks it has a lot to gain
by aggressive expansioniSt
policies.
In his historic April, 1851,
address to Congress, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur spoke of
Red China's "own purposes"
in being allied with Russia.
He could get away with this
bit of objectivity, although
we went through a period
when anybody who didn't say
the Chinese Reds were utterly
Subservient to Moscow was
denounced as possibly dis
loyal to our country.
The Chinese Reds were too
subServient to Moscow, we
were told, and therefore
couldn't be "agrarian re-
formers" Now we find "agra-
rian reform" on Khrushchev'S
agenda, but not on Macs.
There is hardly a well-in-
formed official or diplomat
in Washington, according to
James ReS1on IN. Y. Times,
october ID, who believes
that KhruShchev is really
behind Peiping's adventures
in Tibet, Laos and the Indian
border. Some Of them have
first-hand reports out of the
Chinese Communist capital.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Mr.. Democrat on the Worpoth
BY GOULD LINCOLN

ample. Gov. Dave Lawrence
Of Pennsylvania who will
head that States big dele
cation in the national con-
vention. Gov. Lawrence is
no particular friend Of Mr..
Butler. Pennsylvania has no
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination -
that is, no Pennsylvania can
didate. New York, with the
largest delegation of them
all. has no New Yorker this
time to put forward. Carmine
G. DeSapio. Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman for the
State, has been at war with
the radicals. If he retains
his power, he might listen
to Mr.. Rayburn, too.
Russell Case Of 1852
In 1852, another widely
liked and important Demo-
cratic Senator, Richard B.
Russell Of Georgia, was the
head and forefront of a large
bloc of delegates in the ma
tional convention-their can
didate for President. On the
first ballot for President he
received 268 votes and on the
second, 294. 1t was an effec-
tive bloc in the deadlock of
that convention which turned
back Senator Kefauver of
Tennessee and other would
be nominees until Adlai
Stevenson, then Governor of
Illinois, was trotted out. If
Mr.. Rayburn and Senator
johnson should control an
equally large number of dele
gate votes, they would be in
a powerful position.
Mr.. Rayburn's first OBJ
jective is to assure the Sem
ator complete backing of the
Texas delegation. 1t seems
certain he will succeed. Some
of the ultraliberal leaders in
Texas who have opposed Sen
ator johnson in the past
have announced they will go
along with him, not only as
a presidential candidate, but
for denomination for the
Senate-among them Walter
Hall of Dickinson.
The only discordant voice
raised so far has been that of
Mrs. r. D. Randolph, the
Democratic National Com
mitteewoman. The Demo-
cratic National Committee
man, Byrann Shelton, is
strong for Senator johnson,
and so is the Democratic
State Committee chairman,
j. Ed Connally.
The primaries for the
nomination of a senatorial
candidate will be held in May
and the closing date for FL
ing is the first of February.
No Democrat has come for
ward to oppose Senator
johnson, and no formidable
opposition is expected. The
Texas Legislature earlier this
year so arranged things that
the Senator may be the
senatorial nominee of the
Democratic Party - tanta-
mount to election-and at
the same time be a nominee
on the party's national ticket.
When former Speaker and
former Vice President Jack
Garner of Texas ran on the
party's national ticket in 1882
with Franklin D. Roosevelt
he was elected a member Of
the House as well as Vice
President.

TX for Sick u. S.

William H. Browns letter
October 10, entitled ~. S.
DeteriorateS," was a fine one
and I am sure reflects the
concern of many Americans.
1 would like to commend
The Star for publishing this
letter that so forthrightly
lists the ills that are weak
ening our country and threat
ening a young and great
Nation with unnecessary and
premature decadence.
Our tagging in scientific
knowledge and education,
our corrupt politics, gang
ster-controlled trade unions,
Gripping strikes and lack Of
leadership in domestic and
international affairs create a
dangerous disunity and make
us especially vulnerable dur
ing the present period of
appeasement to which our
leaders, by means of per-
sonal diplomacy and Krem-
lin threats, have commit
ted us.
Mr.. Brown advocates that
the people demand cor
receive laws and regulations
to cure our ills. It would also
help if we could manage to
elect leaders who put the
welfare of the country above
party politics. However, since
this is for the future, it is
up to the free American press
to provide the people with
the truth and again inspire
in them patriotic enthusiasm
as it did so magnif1cently
during World War II.
Greed and materialism
have replaced our patriotism,

For the Record

On Sunday, october II,
The Star carried an article
entitled ~. S. Fair Unit to
Start Job of Picking Site"
which creates an erroneous
impression concerning my
interest in the site of the pro-
posed Worlds Fair.
The article states that 1,
along with So other Senators,
signed an Endorsement of
Washington as the best site.
This is not true, as I have
not signed a letter indorsing
Washington, New York, Los
Angeles or any other city.
During the past session of
Congress, I sponsored S. Res.
1863 which was favorably re-
ported by the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, but
was not acted upon by the
Senate. My proposal called
for a commission to be ap-
pointed by the President to
recommend a suitable site
for such an exposition. After
no action was taken on my
proposal, I appealed to the
President to appoint the
commission under his execu-
tive authority, and I ap-
plaud his recent action in
so doing.
I hope that the COM
mission will give serious con-
sideration to each of the
applicants and will choose a
location which will be in the
national interest.

Senator From Arkansas.

From the SideIines

Last year the sports world
was stunned by the substi-
tuition of Coach Kuharich
for Coach Brennan at the
University of Notre Dame.
University officials rational
lied the ensuing Juror with
the argument that Coach
Kuharich was better pre-
pared to guide the young
scholars in their Upursuit
of excellence" I submit that
the record of this young sea-
son has documented that
the university was mouse
trapped into pursuing the
wrong end of their reverses.
The. evidence demonstrates
that the trouble is not with
the coaching, but with the
teams Notre Dame is sched-
uling.
Let us look at the record.
When Notre Dame has played
an East Coast team North
Carolina) or a West Coast
squad California;, it has
won decisively. When it has
played teams from the Mid
west purdue and Michigan
State), it has been badly
mauled.
I now propose the following
formula to the university. II
it follows this formula, No
tire Dame will automatically
be guaranteed the 80, 81,
and 100 season so dear to
its heart. The formula is:
Schedule the candy-coated
teams of the East Coast, the
West Coast, and the South,
but never under any circum-
stances schedule the men Of
the Big Ten.

Dear Sir:
People will cross my grass.
II have tried ropes, signs,
wires and even standing to
reprove them. but they go
right ahead walking over my
lawn.
"Is there anything that
can be done about this?
1T seems to me people
are insane to trample a
lawn to pieces just to save a
few steps. I suppose if some
body crosses your lawn every
day. in a years time he
might save half a mile or
something.
II have been thinking that
maybe I am too easily upset,
but it makes me angry to
have to watch my grass
being worn down to bare
earth.
If you have any sugges-
tons, ! will be grateful.
yours truly, S. L."
This is another matter
there is not much one can
do anything about.
The world is full of such
problems. This just happens
to be a little one.
What would you do, Sam,
if you were head of some
great nation, and knew that
another great nation could
blow you off the earth?
Fortunately. the lawn prob
lem is a small one.
Probably George Washing
ton, on his beautiful estate
of Mount Vernon, had the
same problem.
We know for sure that a
neighbours dog across the
Potomac annoyed Martha
Washington, and George
wrote his neighbor a dignifled
letter of protest.
He got no answer.
And the dog kept right on
barking.
***
A human being loves to cut
corners.
1t is just the nature of the
beast!
We have seen them cut a
path to save just one step.
In fact, at a corner we
know not far from the Chevy
Chase Club, there is a per-
fectly useless and unneces-
sary path cut 6 feet long to
save less than one step, as
far as we can see.
In fact, it would be easier
to step the other way on a
path, but practically every
one uses the longer way.
Figure that out if you can.
At one place in a beautiful
new planting, people insist
on cutting across the lawn at
the building side, and already
