ties could be avoided if the
Corps of Engineers is allowed
to go ahead and complete
plans for comprehensive de-
velopment of the Potomac
River Basin, so that experts,
the legislators and the pub
lie can make an intelligent
decision as to how the flow
of the river can be regulated
for the benefit of our future
generations.
A news article dated April
3, 1860, related that DR.. Har-
old Kennedy, Fairfax Medical
Director, feels that the no.
acre Belvoir reservoir will be
too contaminated for swim
ming this coming summer.
Recent tests showed that
sewage caused b bacterial
counts ranging from 81 900 to
100000 per cupful" of water
from Accotink Greek just
above the reservoir, while
"the United States Public
Health Service advises against
swimming in water with bac-
terial counts exceeding 5000
per cupful." Another news
article indicated that there
was so much silt coming into
the reservoir from recent
rains that fishing was no
good.

Hence, whenever a new Premier from
its ranks organizes a new government,
he must depend primarily on the sup
port of small center parties; he cannot
work effectively with extreme rightists
or the prof. Communist Nenni Socialists.
Moreover, the Christian Democrats are
themselves divided into right-wingerS
and left-wingers. The latter, in fact, by
threatening to desert him otherwise,
have obliged Mr.. Tambroni to resign on
the ground that he and his cabinet
could not win vote of confidence with
out the backing of "a neo-FaScists. So
President Gronchi now must try to find
another regime capable Of governing
for more than a few days or weeks.
The prospect in that respect is any,
thing but bright. Italy, with it multi
plicity Of parties, looks not unlike France
before the ascendancy of President de
Gaulle. Conceivably national elections
might give it a party with strength
enough to establish stable, long-lived
government in Rome. At the moment,
however, it faces a political future that
seems to promise little more than re-
current crisis.

Needed: Unity

At joint House-Senate hearing
May 5, Washington area political and
civic leaders should rally their forces
solidly behind the White House-spon-
sored bill to further development of
rapid transit system here. Unless they
do so, with an impressive show of unity,
the chances for this needed legislation
to progress this year will be dead.
In recommending the formation of
a temporary Federal agency to develop
rapid transit plans and policy decisions,
the administration has made a gratify-
ing and far-sighted acknowledgment of
the national responsibility and interest
In the growing transportation problems
of this'Federal region. On details of the
bill, there may be legitimate differences
of opinion. But if these are permitted
to obscure the great values of the legis-
lation, the citizens of the entire area will
be the losers.

Walking for Health

DR.. Barbara Moore, an English
woman, is a formidable advocate of
pedestrianiSm for health. She is famous
: in her own country as a preacher and
practitioner of the doctrine, and now
she has crossed the Atlantic by ship,
and flown to California by jet plane, to
evangelize all of us on the virtues of her
views on walking.
Accordingly, with couple of British
army sergeantS competing against her in
the same field, she has set forth afoot
from San Francisco on Route 40, the
Nations oldest tranScontinental high
way. She plans to walk all the way
from there to here-a distance of 5000
miles-in about six weeks, give or take
a few days. And when she arrives among
us in our Itraff1c- -jammed metropolis
this powerful world capital whose storied
beauty is being threatened with deface-
ment by too many automobiles, too many
gashed-out parking lots, and too many
other thingS-She intends to have some
words to say about the common sense
of walking.
Presumably, DR.. Moore heartily sub
SCIIUcS W GLlS lOI1OWIIlS view, DIS 6X-
pressed by an unknown author: "I have
two doctors-my left leg and my right"
Presumably, too, she is in full agreement
with this counsel from Thomas Jeffer-
son: walking is the best possible exer-
else. Habituate yourself to walk very
far All this is quite obviously very
sound, but we are distracted by Edward
Lear's silly but apropoS observation:
There 1UdS young girl of Mdjorcn
Whose aunt 1OGS Uery fast tDdlker:
She 11dlked so miles
And leGped IS stiles,
Which GStontShed that girl of Majorcu.
These giddily poetic lines, of course,
do not have any direct bearing on DR..
Moore'S tranScontinental hike toward us.
but we feel they are worth quoting nev-
ertheleSS. Why? We don't precisely
know. We just think they are worth
quoting, that's all, and we hate people
who make an issue of such matters
when they would be better off Just TAX

This was his land, which
was taken from him, little

come passing history. Can

of Ira Hayes on TV-forget

It is little wonder that the
Air Force didn't press harder
to set aside a part of the
Belvoir reservoir AREA for a
recreation center. Who would
want to swim, fish, hunt, go
boating or even hike or picnic
in either the Great Falls Park
or the Fort Belvoir reservoir
when their health would be
jeopardized and an oppor-
tunity for recreation spoiled
by the odor of a stagnant
body Of water? This is the
outlook for recreation in the
above areas, unless the citi-
zens of this area let their
legislators, both State and
Federal, know what they want
done with respect to protect
ing our valuable ana 1aSt-
diminishing water resources
in this area. Taking a mem
bership in either the Citi-
zenS Council for a Clean Po-
tomac or the Potomac River
Development Association, or
both, is another specific ac-
ton that local people can take
to bring about improvement.

Stop Season.

1t is not new to politician purSu-
ing office that there is great danger in
being too far in front too soon. Standing
in lonely silhouette at the head of pack
makes a man an inviting target to all who
would like to take his place on the day
when the votes are counted. Today'S
favorites for the presidential nomination
of each major party are finding it so,
and probably not to their surprise. stop
Kennedy" and "Stop Nixon" movements
are flourishing, openly in some cases
and covertly in others.
For the Massachusetts, Senator, who
felt compelled to choose the calcu-
lated risk Of proving his vote-getting
ability through the primary route, the
most critical test comes on May 10. On
that day, the Democrats of West Vir-
ginia make a choice between Mr.. Ken
nedy and Senator Humphrey of Mime
sofa. Ironically, the West VirginianS
probably do not want either one as their
nominee and the primary vote will not
be binding on the States convention
delegation. The State has no large farm
population that might be expected to
like Mr.. Humphrey. 1t has no large
Catholic population QeSs than per cent
of the totaD that might be expected
to like Mr.. Kennedy. Indeed, if Mr..
Kennedy loses it will inevitably be con-
cluded that his defeat Stemmed from
Protestant unwillingness to accept
Catholic candidate.
Quietly spreading, too, is the word
that John L. Lewis, retired head of the
United Mine Workers, "diSfavors" Mr..
Kennedy. The miners represent the
largest single labor bloc in the State.
And meanwhile, Democrats are being
reminded by other Democrats that if
they like anybody else they had better
be aware that Mr.. Kennedy should not
win this one.
For Mr.. Nixon, who presumably has
had clear field since the withdrawal Of
Governor Rockefeller nearly four months
ago, some warning shots were fired as
soon as the Wisconsin primary vote
showed him trailing two Democrats.
The nixon can't win" whisper showed
up in G. o. P. print during the past week
end in letter signed by four New York
Republicans and directed to the party'S
national committee. Mr.. Rockefeller dis
claimed any knowledge of or connection
with the letter, and even the signers
said they did not write it-only hap
pened to agree with its message of "seri-
Gus doubt" about Mr.. Nixon's qualif1ca-
tionS and political popularity.
On each side, this is only begin
ming. The intraparty "Stop season" un-
doubtedly will continue until the last
convention delegate has joined in the
cheers for "the winning ticket"

Unenthusiostic About Public Victory

The enthusiasm expressed
in your April 10 editorial,
Public Victory" with re-
spect to the recent acquisition
by Fairfax County of public
park tracts at Great Falls on
the Potomac River and the
Fort Belvoir reservoir, which,
is fed in part at least by
Accotink Creek, seems very
peculiar in view of other cur
rent information in Washing
ton newspapers.
According to recent news
releases from the Corps of
Engineers, sanitary engineers
and other experts concerned
about water supply to meet
the growing population in
the Washington Baltimore
metropolitan areas, at least
portions of the Potomac will
be dry in a few years, the flow
of the river being used for
water supply and pollution

only stagnant pools will re-
main, at least at certain times
of the year. Other times of
the year the Potomac may
provide destructive floods,
and the panoramic beauty of
Great Falls will be a frighten-
ing nightmare instead of a
beauty spot. Of course, all

Believes in Signs

In Washington and its sub
urbs a traffic improvement
could be brought about in re-
gard to stationary stop signs
at intersections. These signs
usually control the entrance
of vehicles from a side street
into a more important street
or boulevard. In some cases,
however, often for temporary
reasons, there are two sets of
stop signs for two streets of
equal Importance or for both
side street and major street;
and all cars on both inter-
secting streets are thus con-
trolled. This is a ggod precau-
ton, yet its usefulness is
weakened by the fact that the
approaching motorist can see
with certainty only his own
stop sign, and cannot so Ger
tainly determine whether
there is another set of stop
signs to control the cars
crossing in front of him. The
situation causes slowness and
undue caution.
I suggest that where there
are two sets of stationary stop
signs to stop and control traf-
flc on both of two intersecting
streets there be placed a no.
tice to indicate the fact. The
motorist approaching such an
intersection could then feel
reasonably sure that cross
traffic will stop, just as he

An 'LrreIevuncy

The front page Of Sundays
Star featured a tragic ac-
count of the burning of a
2-month-old baby girl in a
stove by two small boys. The
story read ". The boys,
aged 4 and 5. apparently
threw the infant into the old
wood = burning stove after
they became frightened when
they dropped her from a bed.
The boys and the baby are
colored."
Why was it necessary to
identify the children racial
ly? 1t was irrelevant to the
story. I suggest that The
Star, one of the finest news
papers in our Nations Capt.
tai, refrain from identifying
individuals by race, color or
creed, except where such
classification may have rele-
vancy to the situation.

Defends Educator

Fairfax County Superin-
tendent of Schools Woodson
has been criticized for having
exercised censorship to pre-
vent our children from being
exposed to filth in the school
libraries. Bless him for it!
How have so many good
Americans swallowed the er-
roneous concept that all
censorship is bad? Even the
New York Times-a leading
opponent of censorship
bears the slogan "All the
news that's fit to print"
They decide-not you. This
letter of mine will be pub
liShed if The Star so decides,
in the exercise of its judg-
ment as to what may or may
not be interesting, timely,
decent, libelous, etc. 1t does
this in recognition of its re-
Sponsibility to the public.
That is good and as it should
be.
Mr.. Woodson seeks to pro-
tect the children entrusted
to his care in accordance with
his responsibilities. The loud
and really quite isolated cries
of censorship" aimed at dis
crediting anyone who acts in
the interest of decency, do
not by any means represent
the real thoughts of Amer
leans.
I, for one, am sick Of this
abusive tactic by so-called
liberals and certain hypo-
critical newspapers. Those
who attack Mr.. Woodson on
this issue attack my children
and all children. This is one
thing I will not tolerate, nor
will I let the matter die here.

Box Score in SPACE

Coming so soon after Pioneer VS.
flight into orbit around the sun, and
TtroS rs bow as the worlds first pic
ture-taking weatherman with a globe
encircling eye, the successful launching
Of Transit I-B serves as striking addi-
tional evidence of the steady progress
our country is making in its effort to
be second to none in space.
The Navy, using Air Force rocketry,
is responsible for having put this latest
OF our earth satellites into orbit. Al
though described as "only" a test We
hicle, Transit IB represents vital step
in the development of great new navi-
gational system of far-reaching military
Signif1cance-not merely in terms of
guiding warShipS at sea, but also in
terms OF inSuring the accuracy of nu-
clear balliStic missiles, like the Polaris.
Indeed, according to spokeSmen for
the Navy, this new traveller in space
confirms predictions that the United
States-by 1862, if not sooner-will have
in'operation full-scale Transit system
made up of four signaling satellites
(each in different orbit) covering
every square mile of earth. Clearly as
soon as such a system is functioning,
misSile-bearing vessels, particularly the
Polaris submarine, will be endowed with
a deadly new degree of effectiveness,
and all other shipS-including nonmili-
tary passenger liners-will have Spatial
navigational assistance enabling them,
as never before, to determine their ex-
act positions almost instantaneously.
So Transit I-B, though basically
military project, holds out good prom
Use of important peaceful applications.
More than that, it helps to remind the
world at large that our country is doing
rather well in competing with the Soviet
Union in space. The box score may be
set forth as follows, dating it from Oc-
tober 4, 1857, when the Russians startled
all of us by putting into orbit Sputnik I,
hiStory'S first man-made earth satellite:
Cd Seventeen earth satellites
launched successfully thus far by the
United States, with eight continuing in
orbit. (2) Three launched successfully
by the USSR, with none now in orbit
CD -Four deep-space probes successfully
launched by us, with two-Pioneers w
and V-hurtling perpetualy around the

moon. launched successfully by the
USSR. And (5 all Soviet instruments
now absolutely silent as important in
formation is still being transmitted by
five of ours-Vanguard I, Explorer VII
Pioneer V, Tiros I and now Transit I-B.
This is comparison that speaks
pretty much for itself. Although the
Russians still excel us in the rocket
power needed to put heavy payloadS
into space (an advantage they are likely
to lose in the next year or SOY, our
American program continues to produce
scientific data more efficiently and in
greater volume than theirs. We have
no reason to be complacent, of course;
but neither have we any reason to be-
little ourselves.

Sit-DoWns Protested

To place the "sit-downs"
in their proper perspective,
one must first realize that
these demonstrations have
occurred on private property
the Negro demonStra-
tors have actually in some
instances taken over a private
business establishment. Let
it be noted that no legal body
not even the US. Supreme
Court, has ever said propri-
etors Of private businesses
must serve persons whose
presence they deem objection
able. Yet throughout the
South, Negro demonstrators
turn downtown sidewalks into
mob scenes and make battle
grounds of variety stores and
lunch counters.
Significantly the first "sit-
down" demonstrations came
in communities which had
previously revealed their
social weakness by permitting
so-called token integration."
Throughout the South
these demonstrators have
ignored State laws and city
ordinances which protect the
sanctity of private property
and reserve to the proprietor
the right to select his Gus
toners.
This is an ideal time for
Federal officials to show their
own lack of prejudice and
display their willingness to
protect the civil rights of
Southern white citizens as
well as their eagerness to
protect the Negro from any
real or imagined injustices.
