PROHIBITION ANNIVERSARY

Jan. 16, 1860 was the 40th an- niversary of the Prohibition Amendment which went into ef- feet Jan. 16, 1920. It was repealed Dec. 5, 1883.
 The author of the amendment was a US. Senator from Minne- sota by the name of Volstad. His name became closely associated with Nome because his daughter became Mrs. Carl Lomen.

Too Much Secrecy

The concern which was expressed at
the convention of the international As
sociation of Chiefs of Police over undue
secrecy in dealing with juvenile crime
was justified. The police officials have
found that the Iron Curtain" built
around children who get into trouble
with the law-coupled with ill-adviSed
leniency at timeS-too often leads young
criminals to feel that they can get away
with further lawleSsneSS. 1t is right, of
course, that youthful first-offenderS
should be protected against improper
publicity, but nothing is to be gained
by protecting incorrigibles who commit
serious offenSeS
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation, summed
up the attitude of many delegates to
the convention when he said: Il have
always been skeptical of any system
where the records of juveniles are jeal-
ouSly guarded from inspection and re-
view by law enforcement officers I feel
that 1t is violation of the best interests
OF the entire community to withhold
from public notice the identities of teen
ayers who commit vicious crimes or those
who are guilty of repeated serious viola
tionS -. To the vicious elements within
our Nation, existing immunity has fire.
quently become license. At the expense
of the many, protection and conSidera-
ton have too often been given the few"
Over-protective laws and over-solic-
itous juvenile court authorities can do
disservice not only to young hoodlums
but to the public which the laws and the
courts are supposed to safeguard.

Joseph N. WeIch

: Once in while, and all too seldom
1T is, there appears figure who by force
9of personality or intellect captivates the
country. Such man was Joseph N.
.sWelch, whose voice for a brief period
six years ago bespoke the Nations con-
science.
Certainly no one who saw the Army
Mccarthy hearings will soon forget the
Yankee lawyer who seemed to step into
the hurly-burly of the Senate Committee
room from another era-an era of court
illness and charm in striking contrast to
4the atmosphere of the Committee room.
But for five long weeks seasoned report
.ers and millions of television viewers sat
-epthralled by the wit, the superb sense
-or courtroom drama and the keen legal
mind of the man from Boston.
Mr.. Welch recognized the danger of
-McCarthyiSm, as many men did. He
coped with it, as few men did. The
-bristling hustle of the Senator from Wis
consin was met with soft-Spoken cour-

Restoring the Park

The General Services Administra-
ton is off to good start in comply
ing with President Eisenhowers request
that every care be taken to assure that
the new Government buildings which will
flank Lafayette Square do not impair
the beauty of this historic setting for
the White House. BY limiting the size
OF the courthouse to be built on the
east side OF the park-aS urged by the
National Capital Planning Commission
and the Fine Arts Commission
has permitted maximum flexibility in
design which should prevent overcrowd-
ing the limited site. This, it is true,
means that space must be found else
where for the U. S. Tax Court, but that
poses no inSurmountable problem. An
equally commendable step is the de-
ciSion to place the design of structures
on both sides of the park jointly in the
hands OF two prominent Boston archi
tectural firms, whose members not onlv
are experts on Federal architecture. but
have served as advisers on esthetic
questions in Washington for many years.
However, the degree to which the new
buildings will enhance" the beauty of

they will, depends largely on the imagi-
nation of the architects. Their efforts

Londrum-Griffin Test

1t is not surprising that the first
major test of the election provisions of
the Landrum- Griffin Act should prompt
ly be labelled by defendant union off,
cialS as an attempt at political intimida-
ton. This was the angry counter-charge
by President Joseph Curran of the Ma
tional Maritime Union when advised that
the Labor Department had asked a Fed
eral court to set aside union election
results Of last spring on grounds of spe-
cific irregularities as prescribed by the
law. Union counsel likewise described
the suit as "a contrived legal attack by
the Republican administration"
Whatever the merits of the case
and they will be determined by due
process, the accusation by Mr.. Curran
and his legal officer makes little or no
sense on its face. The NMU president
has made it thoroughly clear over long
period that his political sympathies are
not pro-Republican and it is most un-
likely that Secretary of Labor Mitchell
or any department official believes that
his position could be changed by in
timidation or contrived legal attack
There is, in fact, even greater chance
that filing suit at this time will only
intensity the anti-Republican activities
Of the union officials Affected result
already indicated by their reactions
1t remains, however, that the Labor
Department has the responsibility of
acting under the statute and that this
was done after preliminary investigation
of complaints from NMU members
that election procedures had violated
the Federal law. Among the alleged
violations were the use of numbered
ballots to defeat secret balloting require
ments, illegal disqualification of can
didateS, electioneering at polling places
and the use of union funds to promote
certain candidates. If the charges are
upheld, a new election could be ordered
under Government supervision.
Mr.. Curran expressed confidence, in
cidentally, that with any kind of fair
hearing, we are sure that these charges
will be thrown out of court" PreSum-
ably, he is not questioning the COM
petence of Federal court to assure him
and his complaining members, too-of
a fair hearing.

Rejects Candidates

The prospect of either Jack
Kennedy or Dick Nixon be-
coming President of the
United States fills me with
dismay. Both are attractive
and able chaps, but neither
is really presidential caliber,
and they are not the first
men of the country.
James Bryce wrote in 1888
that Great men are not
chosen Presidents, firstly, be-
cause great men are rare in
politics; secondly, because the
method of choice does not
bring them to the top:
thirdly, because they are not.
in quiet times, absolutely
needed"
But now we live in a per-
ilous age when nothing less
than the best men are needed
for the safety of the country.
I feel that the national party
conventions have let the
country down by not nomi-
mating their best men for the
Presidency. One result will
probably be a heavy per-
centage of nonvoting on
November 8.

enough. Have you no sense of decency,

Lumumbo's S Decline

v-I The fortunes of Patrice Lumumba,
the deposed premier of the Congo, now
have hit new low. No fewer than 20
sof the A senators and deputies from his
own Eastern Province have openly de-
nounced him for having engaged in
treasonable Red activities, and they have
withdrawn from his political party the
CongoleSe National Movement.
This party, according to the defec-
tors, ought to be renamed the "Commu-
mist National Movement" because Mr..
Lunumba, as its leader, has played the
'kremlin'S game so faithfully that he may
rightly be regarded as an agent working
Tor the USSR and executing its orders.
In support of their charges against him,
the 20 legislators have cited, among
other things, his efforts to oust the
United Nations, his resort to armed vio-
slence, his nurturing of chaos and his
obvious connivance with the Russians in
their attempt to convert the fledgling
republic into Red satellite. To put it
mildly, 1t seems odd in these circum-
stances that some of the "neutraliSt"
states have vigorously supported the
Soviet demand that he be restored to
-the premiership.
:: Actually, Mr.. Lumumba's dismissal
from that office has been carried out in
keeping with the Congolese constitution,
sand his latest big loss of former support
:.ers leaves him without parliamentary
sleg-to stand on. Let us hope he will con-
z.tinue in decline; he has been exceed
,:ingly bad medicine for his country from

Cent nation.

Democrat KouI

1t must be obvious to every
one in Northern Virginia that
a number of our neighbors
consider themselves Demo-
Gratis who have not supported
any Democratic candidate for
years except Harry Byrd and
a few of his friends.

anyone who supported Eisen-

the rest of us should not pay

people are now saying that
Ralph Kaul is not a Demo-

Nixon's Round

''57 The second inStallment of the great
debate" presented Mr.. Nixon as much
improved contender. Whether due to
better makeup, improved lighting, more
favorable subject matter, or perhaps a
combination of all three, it seemed to
us that the Vice President this time had
a clear-cut edge over his Democratic
opponent, Senator Kennedy.
In their first meeting, Mr.. Nixon
not only looked haggard; he was con-
,tinually on the defensive. Last night,
however, he moved over to the attack,
and was especially effective, we thought,
in such exchanges as those concerning
the defense of Quemoy and Matsu and
the question whether the President
should have apologized or expressed
regrets to Mr.. Khrushchev for the U-2
Incident.
This is not to suggest that Senator
KennedyS was poor performance He
appeared somewhat less sure of himself
than on the former occasion-perhaps
because there was no opportunity for
prepared Statements-and occasionally,
It seemed to us, he did not quite "get
through" with some of his answers and
comments
=, On the whole, however, this was
1Nanother fascinating hour. When one
remembers that these debates are en-
Itirely unrehearsed, that neither man
knows what questions will be asked, but
that each is fully aware that his answers
are being recorded and that serious
! slip could spell disaster for him, the
performance, we think, merits the
warmeSt praise for both participants.
It, may not change many votes, but it
certainly proves that both candidates
are men of exceptional competence.

ever, is considerably more

Bacteria Counted EIectronicoIIy
By THOMAS R. HENRY

A bacteria counter" has
been developed by the Army
Chemical Corps.
1t promises to free medical
biologists of one of their
most tedious and time-con-
Stunning jobs. Much research
progress in this field is de-
pendent on accurate count
ing of these invisibly minute
organisms.
A fluid containing the bac-
terra to be counted is spread
out thinly over a plate
and incubated. In about 70
hours each bacterium has
given rise to a colony. Visual
counting of these colonies
has been the standard prac-
tice. in the past. This some
times has required hours.
The new device yields the
total in a second.
Cathode RAY Scanner
The device functions by
scanning the surface of the
incubated plate with a min
ute ray. or pencil" of light
from a cathode ray tube. The
ray moves across the plate
1000 times a second, COM
pletely scanning the surface
by advancing a about the
width of a hair for each line
Of scanning. Changes in opti-
cal density between the plate
surface and the opaque COL
cnies are detected by a
photomultiplier tube.
"The operating secret Of
the device, says a Corps re-
port, lies in the action of
its 'memory'-a quartz ultra
sonic relay line-which keeps
track of the details of the
previous tour of the scanning
pencil across the plate. Elec-
tronic circuits compare these
two records to determine
which colonies are being en-
countered for the first time.
Each new colony is counted
in the registers of the ma
chine. Repeated scans Of a
previously recognized colony
are cancelled out by the COM
pairing circuits, and hence
not counted. Sources of er-
ror are not large in relation
to other experimental errors
inherent in biological re-
search"
The apparatus is expected
to find further use in count
ing other invisibly minute
objects, such as metallurgical
specimens.
Twenty-four hours is get
