T. Howard Duckett very
happy to hear SO many impOr-
tant men in all walks of life
recall the many incidents in
which MIR. Duckett had guild
Ing influence.
MOST PEOPLE in Mont.
gomery County know Mr..
Duckett as the chairman. and
CHIEF executive officer of The
Suburban Trust Company, one
of the largest and most influ-
entail banking institutions in
Maryland. 1t has been Mr..
Duckett's tremendous vision,
energy, and astuteness that
has brought into being this
great banking business.
MR.. DUCKETT has been a
potent political power. He
masterminded the creation of
the Suburban Sanitary Com
mission. He also was one of
the original organizers of the
Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion. He has been the great
est single political power in
Prince Georges County. Be
sides, he is a keen and sue
cessful lawyer.
MR.. DUCKETT once told us

when, all of sudden, Veirs Mill Road opens
up into that silly 55-mile stretch just east
of Rockville. There really isn't much differ
ence in the character of the area it traverses
and it's so short that it offers little benefit
to the motorist who wants to save a little
time by stepping on the gas.
Along the route there are housing devel.
opments where little children soon will be
playing a cemetery where at any time a
funeral procession might be turning off from
either lane of the duallane roadway and a
"go-kart' track where youngsters turn up in
the summertime to try out their midget
racers. Hardly characteristic of the open
areas usually traversed by high-speed boule.
wards.
So, you have on the one hand a wide
road restricted by speed limit that is much
too low to be logical and on the other hand a
section of the same road on which the limit
is more liberal than safety would seem to
dictate. But the silliest thing of all is the
fact that the high-speed stretch is so short;
you barely can reach the top speed permits
sible before you see sign telling you to hold
back and revert to the restrictive 35.mile
limit.
Veirs Mill Road and University Boule-
ward, we think, are safe enough that stand
ard speed of As miles an hour would not be
unreasonable. At that rate, provided the traf.
fic lights were properly coordinated, motor.
lists could proceed to and from work with a
minimum of delay.
But regardless of the speed limit along
the rest of the route, that asinine high-speed
stretch near Rockville should be subject to
curbs more in keeping with the balance of
the thoroughfare.

warning that it is dangerous, evil, and con-
trary to the national purpose for our govern
ment to provide anything for the individual
which the individual might provide for him.
self.
The pleas of Goldwater and Judd were
eloquent salutes to the eternal values of in
dividual freedom and initiative. They were,
further, articulate announcements of what
the Republicans visualize as the theological
conflict between our major parties. AS such,
the two discharged their formal functions
with admirable effectiveness.
Nevertheless, it must be noted with nos
talgia and certain regret that their con-
illusions were more academic than real. The
platforms of the two parties leave little doubt
of this, since they demonstrate no trace of
the philosophical conflict so vigorously out
lined by the orators. The platforms clearly
might have been written by the same party.
The pressures of our age-depressions,
hot wars, cold wars, H-bombs, and the in
sidious creep of communist tyranny-have
created urgent demands for government ac-
ton in virtually all spheres of our national
life The national needs are so pressing and
so APPARENT that any theories as to the ideal
size of government, and/or the scope of its
operations, have lost their practical meaning
This of course is why it is SO true, and
so often noted, that there no longer seems
to be any real difference between the two
parties. 1t is perhaps one measure of the
tragedy of the nuclear era that the voices of
Goldwater and Judd on Monday night were
more echoes of the past than clarion calls OF
the present.

that his real hobby was max
ing money. It's quite a hobby
and off-hand we would say his
has been a successful hobby.
1t is doubtful that he has been
idle for more than five min
utes at a time. And we would
bet that his mind has never
been inactive. One gets the
impression that Mr.. Duckett's
wheels of the mind are going
at great and efficient speed all
of the time.
HIS FRIENDS ARE MANY
but it would be a mistake to
say that he has not developed
a few enemies along the way.
This is quite natural for any
man who has been so active
in so many fields. One cannot
be a leader in the political
field, in the law, in the bank
ing business and several
others without a solid founda-
ton. He was born with several
gifts that he has never neg
lected. And he developed gifts
that have made him the man
he is today.

According TO Smith
Speed Zone Raises
Question: WHY?

A couple of recent letters to the editor
have dealt with the logic of establishing the
short 55-mile-anhour speed zone along Veirs
Mill Road, and it all seems to boil down to
one big, burning question.
WHY?
It's not just a case of why the road
suddenly opens into a high-speed thorough
fare at point where most westbound motor.
lists have become accustomed to the 35-mile
limit imposed along most of the road, but it's
a case of WHY the 35-mile limit is necessary
20 begin with. Not only on Veirs Mill Road,
but on University Boulevard, which is one
of the principal feeders of traffic to Veirs
Mill.
Veirs Min Road with its smooth surface,
protective medan strip and broad travel area,
is one of the finest sections of highway we've
traversed in the entire Washington metro
politan area. And so is University Boulevard,
with the exception of the sneaky, snaky, two
lane stretch between Four Corners and Ken
sington.
Yet a 35Imile speed limit along both
boulevards, coupled with poorly-timed traffic
signals along the least-traveled intersectng
roads, evoke from irate drivers a constant
flow of profanity that even Webster couldn't
define.
Although they are typical of many S.
mile and 60-mile expressways, we can under
stand why authorities found it necessary to
cut down on the speed limit to some extent
because they traverse heavily-populated areas.
But IS, we believe, is much too restrictive
when you consider all the safety factors in
eorporated in the roads design.
And it becomes all the more senseless

Republicans Knew Top
Man Four Years Ago
County Comment

Specifically the main business of a po-
litical convention is the selection of a party
ticket. This leaves one to wonder why the
Republicans should even bother to go through
their quadrennial motions this year. The
identity of the top man was known four
years ago; and it is only proper that he in
turn should hand-pick his running mate and
dictate the platform on which he must cam
paign.
It became evident Monday night, how
ever, that the 1860 COP convention had an
other, perhaps more basic, function than that
of choosing among candidates. This is its
historical function of reaffirming the under
lying philosophy of the party And SO it was
quite fitting that the first night show should
be stolen, not by internationalist Rockefeller
or political craftsman Nixon, but by proud
conservative Barry Goldwater and fiery key
noter Walter Judd
Goldwater is an articulate and affable
spokesman of the conservative cause almost
as respected and popular among his political
foes as among those who rally under the
same philosophical banner. Monday night,
he capsuled his philosophy in a plea for
party that would respond to the needs of
"the whole man." to spiritual needs and not
just to those "of the stomach" Less and
not more government is, of course, the Gold
water formula to this end.
Judd's address was in the grand tradition
of keynote orations. 1t served the historical
purpose, as noted by commentator David
Brinkley, of removing any possible lingering
doubt in the minds of any of the delegates
as to the total incompetence of the opposi-
ton party. Again, the theme was the classic
