Dear DIR. Steincrohn: 1t is
true that the best treatment
for an ankle sprain is to walk
right away even if it hurts?
Won't that hurt the ligaments
and the joints? Sincerely
Mrs. O., California.
WHAT'S MOST important
is to make the correct dag
nosis. X-rays may be essen
tial. Many a persons who
thinks he has a sprain really
has a fracture; and vice
versa. Some orthopedists have
told me that they get quicker
healing in moderate ankle
sprain when they have their
patient bear weight as soon
as possible.

Yes, I know you have

living grand? Isn't it great

Hope for Noise Victims

The announcement that aircraft
manufacturers, airline operators and
pilots have banded together to seek ways
of reducing airplane noise is good news
to grounded citizenS-and timely, too.
1t is gratifying to know that the men
responsible for the -shattering
racket of low-flying aircraft are aware
of the seriousness of the problem and
are determined to do something about
it. The formation of joint organiza-
ton known as the National Aircraft
Noise Abatement Council comes at
propitious time, in that the season of
open windows and outdoor leisure is at
hand.
1t would be a mistake however, to
expect too much from the council in the
immediate future. The organizations
announcement concluded on a somewhat
peSSimiStic note. The aircraft noise
problem" the statement said, will not
be solved overnight, nor does it appear
that there is any total solution to the
problem" We hope the noise researchers
will lie awake nights, pondering the
problem-just as victims of the noise
they hope to abate.

Short-Chonqed Aooin

Northern Virginia will be short
changed as usual under the ALLEGATION
Of secondary road funds just approved
by the State Highway Commission. This
is because the commission has decided
to adhere to traditionally diScrimina-
tory formula in distributing nearly $42
million in highway money this year.
Instead of allocating the secondary
road funds according to actual needs
of the counties and towns, the commits
sion will use a formula in which ten
year-old population figures are an i'm
portant factor. The 1850 census totals
for Northern Virginia will be used in
the tribution-although this area has
grown phenomenally during the past
decade.
1t is true that the formula will be
adjusted upward when the 1860 census
figures become available, but, unless the
formula is changed in the meantime,
the figures once more will become pro-
greSSively outdated as the population
continues to mount. The only fair solu-
tion to this problem is to adopt a new
formula which will take into account
the growth and rising traffic demands
of every county, year by year. Until
that is done the nearby Virginia COM
munitieS will continue to receive less
than their equitable share of road con-
struction and improvement money.

DANGEROUS Gamble

AICer listening TO four days OF teSti-
mony from more than 20 scientific and
technical experts, the Joint Congress
Sional Atomic Committee has arrived at
conclusions that cast grave doubt on the
possibility of establishing a genuinely
trustworthy ban on nuclear testing.
Representative Chet Holifield, chairman
OF the hearings, has summed up the
matter as follows:
1t appears from the testimony that
for the next several years at least it will
not be possible to detect and identify
underground bomb tests whose seismic
signals record the equivalent of non
mufhed bomb explosions of 20 kilotons
or less.
Further, it appears that for this
same time period it will not be possible
to detect muffled tests of 100 kilotons or
more set of deep underground in large
cavities.
Thus the smaller nuclear weapons
those equal in power to 10000 tons of
INT or leSS-could be detonated clam
deStinely, with relative ease, by any
country wishing to cheat on a test-ban
agreement, and the detonations would
indiStinguishable from natural earth
tremorS BY the muff1ing process, more
over, explosions of the bigger nucIear
weaponS-thoSe with power ranging up
wards from the equivalent of 100000
tons of TNT-could be rendered SINH
larly undetectable.
These are facts that speak for
themselves. They explain why many of
our most distinguished scientists and
experts feel that our country has made
dangerous mistake in debarring itself
from underground experimental nuclear
detonationS that could have a vital
bearing on our survival as free people.
We have staged no such tests for the
past l8 months, and we continue to deny
them to ourselves as we and the British
keep on negotiating with the Russians
at Geneva in an effort to work out
mutually acceptable agreement.
Meanwhile there is no guarantee
whatever against the possibility that
cheating is already going on. We have
no way OF being sure; conceivably, even
at this very moment, the Russians may
be carrying out secret underground
tests that could give them a decisive
lead over us in the development of mis-
sile warheadS and new types of nuclear
weapons full of revolutionary poten-
tialities.
AS Mr.. Holifeld has stated, adequate
safeguards against such a danger will
require "at least" several years to de-
velop. Clearly, if our country persists in
debarring itself from underground tests
during all that time, it will be taking a
gamble of the graveSt kinda gamble
on Soviet good faith. This, it seems to
us, is hardly rational policy for the
United States.

Price of Survival

When the social security
law was enacted Is years ago
the price of a haircut was
35 cents; today that same
haircut is priced at SITS. "A
home that then rented for
$40 per month, today rents at
$3.50 or more.
All other necessities are in
proportion. Yet the Govern
ment insists upon retaining
the limit on outside earnings,
under OASI, at $1OO per
month.
This limit may have been
reasonable Is years ago, but
today it is merely silly. No
one would dare attempt to
justify this limit today.
The Government, instead,
wants to talk about hospital
ization and medical care. If
one cannot get enough to eat,
one does not have need of
disqualification: One merely
needs space in a cemetery.
OASI provides a maxi
mum of $3.50 per month for
a man and wife; permits
them to earn not more than
$100 per month. The average
common laborer Is years ago
earned about $160 per
month.
