These verses, which we all
had to memorize from our
second-grade readers, came
to mind the other day.
The Rambler had occasion
to drive to Baltimore. A cold
front had just gone over,
leaving the air as clear as a
freshly washed window.
We used the Shirley high
way to come in from western
Alexandria. AS we rolled
down from the Arlington
Ridge, the Constitution ave-
nue. side of every building of
the Federal Triangle, far
across the Potomac could be
seen in detail.
The District Highway De-
partment has done a fine Job
of widening New York ave-
nue. and eliminating bottle
neckS on the way to the Bal
timore parkway. The road
way has allowed three wide
lanes on each side.
There are still traffic lights
at each cross street, but we
were stopped briefly at only
two of them. In a matter of
minutes we were rolling
through the open country.
That is an illusion. In fact,
if it were not for the square

Foirfox Judge Rejects
Urban Plan Vote Bid

The supervisors, in the state
ment, said a referendum con-
ceivably could hurt the county's
chances in defending a Falls
Church suit to annex as
square miles of the county.
The supervisor also said that
the urban county plan would
not receive as much attention
as it should during a presi-
Dental election.
Elmer R. Duncan, chairman
of the county electoral board,
said the petition did not con-
tain the names of 10 per cent
of the registered voters in the
county.
The law requires the sigma
lures Of 10 per cent Of the
qualified voters-those who
have registered and paid their
poll taxes. ".
1910 Not Registered
Judge Browns order said
that the petition contained a
total of 5.844 names. Mr..
Duncan said that 1,240 Of these
were not registered.
Mr.. Duncan said that the
electoral board had not checked
on how many of the county's
56,159 registered voters were
qualified.
1t would take year to ar
rive at that figure, Mr.. Duncan
said.
Herbert E. Harris. federation
president, said he was "disap-
pointed" in the court action.
Mr.. Harris said the federation's
Executive Committee would
leave the next move up tc the
members.
Commissions Planned
Under the urban county plan,
a commission would be set up
in each magisterial district.
Each district would request and
pay for the services it needed.
The plan also would require
redistricting Of the county into
five to II managerial districts.
The county now has seven.
The federation had commended
the urban county plan would
be helpful in fighting the Falls
Church annexation suit.

EMPLOYMENT - Arizona is experiencing a
dynamic population growth This has created
unique and serious problem. In Arizona we have
a labor force looking for industry rather than
industry looking for labor. In order to provide
more jobs and opportunities there MUST be a
practical statewide program of industrial
growth We have the climate and the surround
ings where people want to live and work. Now,
we MUST create and bring more jobs, oppor-
tunites and industry here.

owner and the business man, are paying almost

appraisal of taxable property plus an effective
overhaul of the method of assessment
PUBLIC HEALTH = The Arizona Medical Asso-
citation reports that our State has one of the
worst records in the nation in connection with
its high infant and tuberculosis death rate along
with other communicable diseases. This MUST
be corrected. Our State MUST measure up to
it's full responsibility in the field of disease
prevention so that our citizens can be ade-
quatey protected An effective health program
as we'll as increased hospitals for the State
MUST be provided.
TRAFFIC SAFETY = Ten thousand people each
year are being injured hundreds killed. in
Arizona by motor vehicles. There MUST be pro-
vided concrete protection program to stop
this costly, shameful and tragic accident and
death rate.
LABOR g. MANAGEMENT - Sound, rapid and
happy progress cannot be made in Arizona with
out harmony between labor and management.
A program MUST be designed to encourage the
maintenance of favorable relations between
them. AT the same time the individual rights
and privileges of each group MUST be respected.
SENIOR CITIZENS = There are approximately
100000 persons over the age of 65 in Arizona
These persons represent world of knowledge
and experience Many of these elderly citizens
desire to share their ability and experience with
all of our citizens This great reservoir of talent
and knoW-how MUST be properly directed in
order for our State to realize its full economic
potential.

economic conditions and industrial growth on
the Reservations will make for greater prosper

ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES Constant
vigilance is needed in order to protect the

STUTTGART, Germany, April

Army said today it was fully
justified in demoting a military
policeman who gave a traffic
ticket to the wife of the United
States Consul General here.
Robert Cudini of Detroit was
denoted from private first class
to private and transferred to
a transportation unit the day
after he ticketed Mrs. Patricia
A. Moreland and took her to
the MP station.
"Cudini knew fully our rules
that we do not take civilians,
whether they are diplomatic
people or not, to the station
for minor infractions," a
spokesman said.
We're happy that he picked
on someone like Mrs. Moreland,
who protested his action, or
this conduct would probably
never have come to light
Cudini's job was to assure free
flow of traffic at the spot and
that was all"
The MP said Mrs. Moreland
tied up traffic by parking her
car. bearing consular license
plates, on a narrow street out
side an Army commissary April
IA. and that he asked her to
accompany him to the station
because she had no drivers
license with her.
