the thoughts may not be very profound,

This is a sound observation. Un-
fortunately, however, millions Of us have
gone through the same experience as
President Eisenhower. AS he has Just
confessed, he started diary nearly four
decades ago, but he would neglect 1t for
periods Of as much as f1ve years. And
even now, again like millions of us, he
tends to find that he is Just a bit too
tired at bedtime to make an entry, and
so he puts the thing of, and the blank
pages multiply from day to day. Clearly,
1t is not everybody who has the tenn
permanent Of Pepys, a Boswell or a

race apart, and the rest Of us can only
marvel at them, with maybe a touch

Three CheersL

The heavy Senate majority, COM
fortably exceeding the required two
thirds, which approved the Constitu-
tional amendment yesterday granting
Washington residents the right to vote
for President, Vice President and repre-
Sentation in Congress, is something to
cheer about.
Some IS proposals Of the same sort
have been introduced in Congress in
the past SO years. A few have received
adverse reports from committees and
about as many have been favorably re-
ported. But yesterdays Senate vote on
the Keating resolution, previously spon-
sored also by Senators Case of South
Dakota and Beall of Maryland, was the
first time the matter has ever received
test on the floor in either house of
Congress.
p We are confident that if it can be
brought to the floor Of the House it will
be as decisively approved. For it is I'M
thinkable that the extraordinary con-
tradiction, here at the heart of the
Republic, of everything we preach to
ourselves and the rest of the world
regarding the right to vote can much
longer be condoned. We would have
wished that the Heating resolution could
have been considered alone and on its
own merits, rather than as part of
package containing two other ConStitu-
tional amendments, one of them of more
political than actual Importance. But
the Senate vote yesterday was of great
significance in registering the support
of the Districts cause by so many
Senators.
1t is a matter of interest that the
House Judiciary Committee, which now
will receive the Senate resolution, is
headed by chairman who long since
demonstrated his own support of its
objectives. When the late Hatton Sum-
ners of Texas was chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, the present
chairman, Representative Celler of New
York, conducted hearings on a some
what similar resolution which brought
a favorable report from the committee.
Many members of the House, unable to
stomach "home rule" have indicated
their support of granting to residents
of Washington their basic rights as citi-
zenS to be represented in their National
Government. These are the rights Sc
cured by the Senate-approved s"nend-
ment.
We hope Chairman Celler will ar
range prompt hearings, and that the
amendment will be sent to the so States
In this election year of 1860.

A Southern Attitude

Thirty-three Southern" educators
expressing their personal opinions, have
signed a statement warning against the
consequences of closing public schools
10 avoid desegregation. They said they
issued the statement in the belief that
the welfare of the South and the
preservation of our democratic heritage
is dependent upon our ability to main.
tain free and educated citizenry."
This warning, we think, is based on
fact. For both the South and its chill
dren will suffer in direct proportion to
the extent that public schools are
abandoned. The fact that 33 Southern
educators were willing to lend their
names to this statement is indicative of
courage on their part, and it may mark
a significant beginning for what one
OF them called the formulation of a
southern attitude"
With respect to the latter, however,
a certain reservation is in order. Most
OF the 80 signers come from States
which have already accepted some in
tegrat1on. In the case of Georgia
where the threat to public schools is
most imminent, there was but one
signer. He is the president of Agnes
Scott College, a private institution for
girls. There were no signers from South
Carolina or Mississippi From Alabama
there was one Signer-the dean of the
College of Education at Auburn.
The reasonable inference is that the
formulation of this Southern attitude"
while hopeful development, is still an
uncertain first step. 1t should be en-
couraged by all means. But it would be
unwise to accept it as a reflection of
the attitude in the Deep South-where
public education is most likely to be
sacrificed, at least in the short run, for
the sake of segregation.

Getting Nowhere Fast

1t seems to us that the senatorial
examinations of our national defense
posture are getting nowhere. They may
very well be doing more harm than good.
AS matters stood Tuesday evening,
the offenSe and the defense in this con-
test had reached stalemate.
General Power, chief of our vital
Strategic Air Command, had testified
that plans for the future" strength and
safety of SAC are mot adequate" He
gave this testimony with some apparent
reluctance, and explained that it was
incumbent on him "to protect my force
against the worst situation that could
happen" 1t seems clear, however, that
General Power would very much like
to have provision made for a better
airborne SAC alert during the period
probably throughout 1962-when the
threat OF surprise Russian missile at
tack will be greatest.
Defense Secretary Gates does not
agree. And he is supported by General
Twining, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff. Mr.. Gates testified that the
Joint Chiefs thoroughly considered Cen
eral Powers suggestion and "they do
not agree with General Power" Mr..
Gates also gave this testimony: "Be-
cause OF the versatility and strength of
our overall retaliatory capability, the
numerical advantage that the Soviet
Union may attain in long-range mis-
slleS, which is likely to be greatest in
1862, will not produce gap in our de-
terrent power. This is not my view only:
1t is the view of our principal military
and scientific advisers"
There is every reason to suppose
that what we have here is an honest diff
ference OF opinion among honest men.
And without access to the classified
information, especially the intelligence
estimates, upon which the conflicting
views are based, the layman cannot pos
s1bly form real Judgment of his own
as to who is right and who is wrong, He
must put his trust in one view or the
other, and as things stand it seems to us
that the only reasonable course is to 90

OF Defense and the Joint Chiefs of STAFF.

rity of the United States as any other
man and they have access to all the rele-
want information. Upon what rational
basis can public opinion be modified
against them?
This question should be of special
concern to the Democratic critics in the
Senate, who presumably are trying to
build up public sentiment for greater
defense effort. We are not questioning
their good faith. But what they actu-
ally are doing is publicizing a conflict
OF opinion without being able to docu-
ment or otherwise support their position
with facts, which presumably are clas-
sified. This can lead only to confusion,
with possibly, some impairment of pub
lie confidence in our security. And this
IN the absence of a clear-cut factual
showing which supports the critical no.
sition, certainly would serve no useful or
constructive purpose.

Friends Up North

While some other countries
have been objecting to Amer
ican bases Newfoundland has
been doing its best to keep
the American forces in un-
diminished numbers. The
State Department tells me
that nowhere in the world
have relations been as pleas
ant as between the Americans
and the Newfoundlanders. I
though you would be inter-
ested in this short editorial
from the Ottawa Journal:
Sad and yet happy is the
parting between st. Johns
and the United States Pep
perrell Air Base on the out
skirts, soon to be closed. In
a world of suspicion and
hostilities, the Newfound-
landers and Americans have
lived as brothers; the base
has been a symbol of unity
in freedoms cause, not the
outpost Of an acquisitive
state.
I'VE like to think that the
Americans will go home with
a good feeling for Canada
and Newfoundlanders in par
ticular, and certainly they
take with them our kindest
wishes and regard. In this
feuding world that is some
thing warm to hold in the
hand." r. A. Farquharson,

Too Short for Lowmokino

AS Maryland'S General Assembly
opens another of it's so-called short
sessions at Annapolis today-one of
the subjects that ought to and prob
ably will be discussed is whether the
short sessions should be heightened and
broadened. Originally the thirty-day
biennial sessions were intended to deal
chiefly with budget and finance prob
lens All local bills and nonemergency
measures were supposed to be handled
at the regular ninety-day meetings every
other year. But the plan has not worked
out.
The trouble has been that the Iegis-
latorS have found all sorts of ways to
evade the rule against consideration of
''local" bills at the short sessions. Thus,
measures designed to benefit a particu-
lar county or area are carefully drawn
so as to apply to all counties or cities or
areas of the State. And emergency"
labels are put on these bills by their
sponsors. The legislation then quail
f1eS for consideration under the Short
session rules, along with budget and
fiscal matters.
Recent short sessions therefore have
been almost overwhelmed with proposals
that normally should be held over for
the next regular meeting of the Legisla-
ture. Some measures have been rushed
through, it is said, without proper study
and report. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that movement is under way to
eliminate the thirty-day sessions in ia
vor OF regular annual sessions of equal
length, with no restrictions on the type
of legislation that could be introduced.
Time may be too short at the 1860 SeS-
sion to permit of adequate consideration
of the short t-session problem-but the
topic certainly qualities under the head
ipg of nonlocal emergency legislation.

VSTAS IN SCIENCE
BY THOMAS R. HENRY
Human Body ToIerotes Great Crashes

The human body has o
marvellous capacity TO with
stand crashes.
1t can. for example, toler-
ate forces that would COM
pletely demolish most air
planes-forces as much as 800
times gravity or literally q
weight Of $4,000 pounds
without very serious injury.
This has just been reported
to the once of Naval Re-
search by Cornell scientists,
whose investigations have
been partially financed by
the Navy.
A recent case is reported
Of a workman who fell 160
feet from q smokestack and
landed on his side in a pile
of lose rubble where his body
made a depression 8 inches
deep. The man was fully
conscious and rational when
picked UP. He had sustained
a fractured ankle and q frac-
tured jaw. He had a black
eye and numerous scratches.
Otherwise he was all right.
Such a fall, according to
the Cornell report, would
result in a minimum impact
velocity of more than 80 feet
a second.
Backed by Other Cases
Calculations on the dura-
ton of the impact and the
rate of onset of deceleration
indicate that this deceleration
lasted approximately ola of
q second and the rate Of on
set was in excess Of $4,000
times gravity per second"
says the Cornell report.
1T Is important to note
that this enormous decelera-
ton did not result in frac-
ture Of the skull, serious in
jury to the brain or amnesia.
The survivor said that when
he found himself falling he
said to himself This is it,
and closed hfs eyes and re-
laxed."
The ascertained facts, says
the report, are difficult to
believe but are fully sup
ported by investigations of
IA other similar falls.
These show beyond any
reasonable doubt" says the
report, that such decelera-
tions can be survived with
little or no injury when the
force is applied during q
brief period and is well dis
tributed over large areas Of
the body. From the data Of
these free falls, as well as
from aircraft accidents, it is
recognized that the ability Of
the human body to tolerate
crash force has been greatly
underestimated. With rea-
Sonable engineered protection
and proper support it is
probable that the human
body can tolerate forces that
will completely demolish
most aircraft now in use"

Hiqh c and C-Notes

In The Sunday Star of "a
January, Irving Lowens gives
us an interesting historical
account Of the American pre-
miere of Verdi's Otello, put
on by a company especially
organized for the purpose in
New York in 1888. an adven-
ture which he describes as
disastrous" and which closed
after eight performances.
Referring to the Opera
Society Of Washington's re-
cent production of Otello, Mr..
Lowens continues that from
the sold-out houses at Lisner
Auditorium. and the general
expressions of delight every
time an OSW production is
mentioned, I know that such
a fate is far removed from
our local company, even If it
keeps insisting on offering
only great works of art in the
future, as it has done so far"
Unfortunately, such a fate
Is not far removed from our
community to a greater ex-
tent than hitherto. Contrary
to Mr.. Lomens' implication,
with every seat filled for
every performance we can
only hope to make about half
Of our production costs. and
we must depend upon private
financing and foundation as
sistance on an annual basis
for the remainder. .
The Society has every In
tention of Offering only
great works of art in the fu-
ture, as it has done so far"
with such conspicuous artist
ic success and critical ac-
claim, but 1t cannot do so
without substantial number
Of sizable annual gifts from
individuals and foundations,
and without broad financial
support throughout the COM
munity in the form Of annual
memberships for smaller
amounts.
Surely an organization
which has done so much for
Washington's cultural life
cannot be allowed to fail,
particularly in a city which
contemplates a $40 million
National Cultural Center in
the near future.

Medical Profession Responds to Loymon's 'NeedIinq'

The Star is to be congrat-
ulated for its poetic under
statement and complete digest
OF B. S. Bercovici's letter in
its caption: Needles Doctors
After Getting Same" We
doctors definitely are getting
so far back in the long-suf-
fering public's doghouse that
Mr.. Bercovici's very persua-
sive kick will do little more
than cramp our style while
scratching and licking.
I personally think the lay
man has an honest grievance
about the high cost of medi-
cal care. Most doctors will
agree that it is cruel, inhu-
name and extortionate. We,
too, are sickened by the run
away imitation of the 50-cent
dollar. Inflation-wise Mr.. Ber-
covici paid about $3.50 hard
money for a brief span of
two professional peoples time.
Curmudgeon that his doctor
might have been, he sold Mr..
B. his only commodity, time
and privacy consistent with
his needs. And I am sure
there were a few social min
utes, too. Your particular
doctor has to meet an ever
rising, bankrupting overhead.
And his Office help are not

much your doctor charges,

OId Pro vs.. Kennedy

Your editorial, "Old Pro
VS.. Kennedy" which cites
Mr.. Truman's remark that
primaries don't mean a
thing at a convention" points
up the blemished fact as
well as the unblemished
truth that the voters have
very little choice in the selec-
tion or nomination Of those
men (either for President
or Vice President) against
whose names we must place
Q check-mark on election
day ballots.
For example, the people
certainly were not given the
opportunity to choose Mr.. Eli
senhower's handpicked run
ming mate in the last two
Republican conventions. The
name was on the ballot. and
we were left with the choice
Of either voting or not voting.
Perhaps your editorial
writer misinterpreted the
"Old Pros" remark, which I
took as an astute observation
Of what takes place in the
smoke filled" rooms of polit-
ical conventions. VIII Rogers
once said. More men have
been elected between sun
down and sunup than were
ever elected between sunup
and sundown," and by that
Will probably meant "nomi-
mated" So Harry cannot be
blamed for his realistic and
professional acceptance of
the unwritten rules of the
