Vanishing Freedom Symbol

Not only ornithologistS will approve
Of the steps being taken to save the bald
eagle from going the way of that other
prevalent American bird, the
passenger pigeon. The bald eagle has
become so much symbol of American
freedom that its extinction would be
cause for regret by everyone in this
country and by many persons abroad
as well.
The diminishing eagle population
has led the National Audubon Society
to plan nationwide survey with a
view to determining what measures
might help to increase the numbers Of
the big birds. Particularly alarming
were reports to the society of the
damage done by Hurricane Donna to
some of the chief nesting places of
the eagle along the Atlantic coast. DR..
William B. Robertson, jr., National Park
Service biologist, notified the society
that all but one of % eagles nests he
had under observation in Florida were
destroyed by the storm. How the birds
themselves Jared and where the
survivors have gone are unanswered
questions.
There has been no national census
Of the bald eagle population since the
majestic bird was named by the Second
Continental Congress in 1882 as the
National emblem. In those days the
soaring eagle and his huge nest Of
sticks high in an old treetop were
familiar sights. Today few persons
have had the privilege of sighting
bald eagle outside Of a ZOO. In recent
years there have been reports of sporadic
sightings along the Potomac River near
Washington, but some of these reports,
except those from experienced bird
watchers, have been discredited. Al
though Federal conservation law of
1910 placed the bald eagle under Federal.
protection, its numbers are said to have
been declining steadily.
The five-year survey, to be made at
a cost of $4,000, would be started this
winter. An estimate of the surviving
members of the species would be made
and studies of their haunts and habits
conducted. On the basis of the findings
it should be possible to propose con-
servation measures that would save the
bald eagle from the fate of the dodo and
the passenger pigeon. The undertaking
should meet with widespread public
support.

New Defense Chief

1ne nrSt tnlng TO be said about the
choice of Robert S. Mcnamara as Sec
retary OF Defense is that the President
elect again has ignored partisan politics
In flling a key post in his Cabinet. It
seems clear that Senator Kennedy
picked Mr.. Mcnamara solely because he
thinks he is well qualified to serve in
one of the most difficult jobs in Gov
;ernment.
!; Time alone will tell whether Mr..
Kennedy really has made good Selec-
ton. II one clear lesson emerges from
the coming and going of Secretaries of
Defense, it is that premature judgments
should be Stunned. distinguished
career in private life does not necessar-
lily insure success in the Pentagon. In
some respects it can be handicap. For
there will be occasions when the methods
which carried a man to the top in the
industrial or business community simply
will NOT work in the $40-billion Defense
establishment. Unless Mr.. Mcnamara
is an exception to the rule, he not only
will have much to learn: he also will find
that some things have to be unlearned.
The new Secretary'S greatest handi-
cap will be that he has virtually no
background of experience in the intri-
cate ways and complex problems of the
Pentagon. In this sense, 1t is too bad
that the Nation, at critical time, must
lose the services Of Defense Secretary
Gates. He has gotten the feel of his
assignment and has been doing a first
rate job. Still, an incoming President
must be free to select his own people.
No one can ask more than that, for the
truly vital spots, he choose on ii basis
OF merit orSafl estimate of me 1T
Happily, the, indications are that
MIR. Mcnamara, although it will take
time for him to get firm grip on his
new responsibilities, is endowed with
outstanding abilities, He would hardly
have become pFesideut OF the Ford
Motor Company at the age of "a If he
were deficient on tris score. It Is also
to be noted that he is joining the new
administration at a heavy personal
financial sacrifice, but that nevertheless
he intends to stay on as long as Mr..
Kennedy wants him to stay.
This is an attitude which is both
commendable and promising for the
future. For our part, we wish Mr. Nc
Namara every success, and we hope he
will enjoy the fullest cooperation in
the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.

Fears for Mt. Vernon

The Star for December o
carried an innocuously buried
item about a hearing by the
Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission on a sewage
treatment plant for Piscata-
way Greek.
Am I opposed to progress
and distressed at a sewage
treatment plant? No. But let
the public consider where the
WSSC has arbitrarily decided
to locate this plant. It is
planned for the river bank
directly opposite Mount Yer
non.
Considerable effort has
been spent to preserve the
view from that truly National
shrine yet the area selected
for the sewage treatment
plant is at Mockley Point.
directly across from Mount
Vernon. In addition to the
prospect Of hot weather
"aromas" to offend boaters
on the river but also the land
use pattern across from
Mount Vernon will be threat
ened. With a sewage treat
ment plant available (where
present development does not
require a plant a mushroom
ing development of crowded
small houses. apartments,
and even trailer courts is
quite likely. This is an area
which present development
ana planning had hoped to
preserve for land use COM
patible with respect for the
public visiting Mount Vernon.
1t is not yet too late. Com
munities in the area are pro-
testing. There are actually
other sites available for the
sewage treatment plant which
are. in fact. nearer to present
areas Of dense land use than
the proposed Piscatawayisite.
I hope that The Star and
the general public will speak
out on this proposed sewage
plant location.

Authorizing Evil

: In 1858 the Arkansas Legislature
passed law requiring teachers to file
afhdavits listing all organizations to
which they had belonged or contributed
during the preceding five years. Now,
five-member majority of the Supreme
Court has declared the law unconstitu-
tional, overruling in the process three
Judge Federal court and the highest
court Of Arkansas. The Supreme Court
minority Of four dissented vigorously.
The majority did not specifically
base its ruling on any issue of racial dis
elimination. It seems plain enough, how
ever, chat the Ave justices thought the
affidavit requirement might be used to
penaiize teachers who belonged to the
NAACP;; and that this was at least a
contributing factor to their ruling.
Justice Harlan, speaking for the dis
senters, evidently was referring to this
anticipatory aspect of the majority
decision when he said: ut must be en-
phasized> that neither of these cases

presents an issue of racial discrimina-
ton. The statute on its face applies to all
Arkansas teachers irrespective of race,
and there is no showing that it has been
discriminatorily administered" On this
basis, he, with, Justices Frankfurter,
Clark and Whitaker, held that the
statute should not have been struck
down unless and until 1t had been un-
'constitutionally applied. In the cases
before the court, the teachers had not
been dismissed because of answers given
to questions, but because they refused to
file the required affldavits.
. The majority decision, written by
Justice Stewart, does remarkably little
to clarity the law in this situation. It
begins by saying that there can be no
doubt of the right Of State to investi-
gate the competence and fitness of those
whom 1t hires to teach in its schools . . :"
1T indicates that the teachers could
legally be required to file affidavits an
;swering some questions. But 1t refrains
from specifying which questions can be
asked and which cannot, and it winds up
,by nullifying the statute in its entirety.

done, 1t seems to us, is to substitute its

Compassion Needed

introducing a new dimension
into American political life
and the qualifications Of pub
lie servants. He said one of
these qualifications for his

thought Of Mr.. Kennedy's,
and how appropriate for an
official Of a democracy and
Of a Christian Nation. Moth
ing, 1t seems to me after
watching television for some

compassion for our fellow
man. It seems we are deter
mined to use the commune
cation media that physical
science has placed at mans
disposal to rear-a genera
ton Of children used to the
brutalities Of Tv. We grown
ups need not blame teen

throughout their lives. That
the problem of juvenile de-
linquency Is not more seri-
ous Is not the fault of the
grown-ups and TV.
Compassion as a new word
In American political life is
something we need badly,
and I am sure the American
people will welcome this
wonderful new concept SO
much in keeping with the
ethical and religious princi-
pies upon which this Ma
ton was intended to be
founded. Not since the days

have no more to do with
Christmas than the comic
strip has to do with the

feeling of love and kinship

could use IN this hate-ridden

I have recently seen featured
on a Christmas card, I con-
slider an inexcusable insult to
the meaning of the day. and
that is a skunk. Yes. I have
seen it.
It seems to me reasonable
to decorate the cards with
pictures Of holly. green's.

with Christmas) and the
views of churches or country
scenes with tall-steepled
churches, as well as those of
the Wise Men, the Shep-

well as Christian foundation.
One thing I would ask of
the authors of the sentiments
printed on the cards. Please
remember in these days of
longevity that not all Of those
to whom we send cards are
expecting "A Very Merry

AIGIERS

n
For q person less cour-
ageous and less convinced of
the rightness of his course
than Gen. de Gaulle, the
events Of the last week in
Algeria might have come as
d stunning defeat.
Specifically, at least, his
trip to Algeria may be. read
as O complete failure. The
reason for which he came
and. the message which. he
hoped to deliver have been
overshadowed by the well
planned outbursts Of violence
In the major towns. In the
end, Gen. de Gaulle, himself,
seemed to withdraw before
this violence, cancelling a
visit to Phillipsville where q
major demonstration was
featured and returning to
France q day early.
Some trouble, to be sure,
was expected. Had it been
confined to the European
population Of the towns, it
would never, In the opinion
Of most officials here, have
reached the stage Of seri-
ously upsetting the Presi-
dents visit. What came as a
surprise TO Gen. de Gaulle
as well as everyone else was
the violence of the Moslem
reaction in Algiers and Oran.
Apparently spanked at the
beginning by agents Of the
Algerian national rebels, 1t
swept like wildfire through
the native sections of the
towns. BY the time the army
and police had restored
order, 1l8 persons, all but
10 Of them Moslems. had
been killed.
Against this background, it
was not the most eloquent
undertaking to preach a mes
sage of the new Algeria based
on the fraternal cooperation
between the two communities
and between Algeria and
France. Gen. de Gaulle. to
be sure, was well received by
the Moslem crowds that met
him along the way. AS a
demonstration of personal
courage, his performance was
moving to many and down.
right shattering to those
charged with his safety. Still,
1t was clear enough that the
personal appeal was limited
to- a very small audience,
while the ears of the majority
were tuned to a quite different
wave length.
Message to Moslems, &,
The plea for moderation
and good sense was addressed
primarily to the Moslem
population. What came
across, however, was little
more than the idea of an
