Airport Impact Outlook

The impact of the Dulles Interna-
tional Airport on Chantilly and adjacent
areas of Northern Virginia may be en-
viSioned from booklet, Community
Progress in the Air Age" published by
the Air Transport Association. It is clear
from experience with other airport prof.
e"ts that planning should begin immedi-
atelv to control the impact, so that the
comin~ cf the Jet age to the nearby
counties will not be too much of a dis
turbance.
The Alta pamphlet points out that
while there are many advantages to the
communities affected by the building of
new airport. there are also serious dis
advantages. Some of the latter can be
overcome or eaSed by proper planning
and zoning. Other problems, including
the noise of jet airliners taking off and
landing, are difficult to solve, although
much time and energy are being devoted
to solving them
The obvious advantages of an air
port are the availability of air trans
portation Improvement of highways in
the vicinity of the terminal, development
of satellite communities to serve the
needs of the airport and general stimula-
ton OF community growth But with
these benefits come discomforts and dis
turbanceS which are not easily COPIED
with An outstanding problem, the Alta
says, is the noise of jet aircraft. The
noise nuisance is being studied jointly
by the Federal Aviation Agency, the air.

All of these approaches to sound

port at Chantilly. Particularly inn
portant is the taking of zoning and
similar steps to restrict and regulate
residential and commercial development
near the airport With the big terminal
scheduled to open late next year, there
is no time to lose if the impact of the Jet
airport is to be eased as much as human
ingenuity permits.

Those portions Of the old

Speaking of Prestige

After yesterdays session in the
General Assembly, there ought to be
fewer partisan laments over declining
American prestige and the alleged rise
of the Kremlin'S red star.
For Mr.. KhruShchev and his Com
munist henchmen it was a Shattering
day-So much so that even the Kremlin
boss conceded a victory" for the United
States and defeat" for himself.
The most impressive vote came on
Mr.. Khrushchev'S clustering, threatful
demand for a disarmament debate in
the Assembly. Not counting abstentions,
the vote was 81 to IL against the Rus
SIAN. On this ballot 10 of the new
African states joined with So of the
older members, Except for the Soviet
bloc'S nine votes, Mr.. KhruShchev was
able to enlist the support of only Cuba,
Guinea and Mali
Earlier, the Assembly, over bitter
Communist opposition, decided to put
on its agenda the situation prevailing
in Hungary and the charges of Commu-
mist aggression against Tibet. The re-
Spective votes were 81 to IL and 40 to 13.
1t has never been our view that
national prestige can properly be ap-
praised exclusively in terms of votes
in the United Nations. Still, these votes
are OF more than a little significance.
Mr.. KhruShchev came to this meeting
boaSting of his power and determined
to bend the nations of the world to his
will He has failed diSmally. And he
has failed primarily because his position
has been wrong and because the posi-
ton of the United States and its sup
porterS has been right For the first
time, perhaps, the representatives of
most of the world community have seen
Mr.. KhruShchev for what he really is,
and have come to understand the true
nature of the policies which he advo-
Gates. If we in this country adhere
firmly and SteadfaStly to what is right,
there is no reason to believe that the
prestige of the United States -meaning
by this the standing of the United States
in the court of world opinions going
to sink to an all-time low, or indeed to
any low. And we think those politicians
who have been going around the country
preaching the contrary doctrine are not
only wrong but that they must also know
they are wrong.

Animals Best Friend

DR.. William NJ Mann, director
emeritus of the National Zoo here, al
ways contended that some animals had
as much sense as some humans. Be that
as it may, one thing is certain: Animals
not only the Zoos collection but all
animals-have lost an understanding
and benevolent friend with the death,
at IA, OF DOC" Mann. But DR.. Mann also
was fond of people, especially the small
variety which frequented his beloved
menagerie in Rock Creek Park. So his
passing is a distinct loss to humans as
we'll as animals. There is not likely ever
to be another ZOO director quite like him.
DR.. Mann was unique for several rea-
sons. Although he was a scientist being
not only zoologist but one of the Ma
tion'S outstanding entomologiStS Spe-
cializing in ants, he was anything but
staid and reticent--in the image of the
usual science researcher. Doc" Mann
liked to have company both at the Zoo
and in his adjacent home. Circus folks
were particularly welcome, for they had
great deal in common with him-ani-
mails, that is. Not surprisingly, the Zoo
benefited from these associations, with
frequent loans of circus beasts. Recipro-
cally, the circus people knew where to
turn when they wanted information on
animal ailments or habits or on avail
ability of rare specimens. They usually
got the information they sought.
AS director for more than 80 years,
DR.. Mann made the Zoo national in
prestige as we'll as name. He was
persuasive pleader for funds at ap-
preparation time on Capitol Hill His en-
thusiastic support of the institution led
him personally to sail to far corners of
the globe and bring em back alive" He
became almost as we'll known to animal
collectors in the African, South Amer
lean and Asian jungles as he was to Zoo
visitors. His various expeditions, with
their ark-loads of wild animals, were
made possible by scientific institutions
and foundations which admired his
work
DR.. Mann insisted that his Job as
Zoo director involved showmanship as
we'll as geological talents He saw to it
that the Zoo was a good show for all
who went there. While the curtain has
been rung down on his management of
this alwayS-interesting show, the Zoo

Hope for RossIyn

Notification that Federal funds can
be allotted for the redevelopment Of
Rosslyn, even though no public housing
project is involved, has given boost to
plans for undermining this important,
but generally blighted, section of Airing
ton. Fear that redevelopment would
include an undesirable public housing
project in the area was blamed for de-
feat in 1858 of proposal for creation of
county redevelopment agency
The public housing threat led the
last General Assembly to exclude public
housing from the redeveloping author
ity Of any agency set up in Arlington or
elsewhere. 1t had been thought in some
legal quarters that this ban might
prevent the county from taking advan-
tage of Federal funds that would be
available to aid in rebuilding a rundown
area like RoSSlyn. Inquiry at the Urban
Renewal Administration, however, has
revealed that public housing is not a pre-
requisite to a grant of Federal funds.
Decent" private housing must be offered
to displaced families, however. And
governmental agency must be eStab-
lShed to carry out the program.
With the public-houSing bugaboo
dissipated, Arlington ought to give the
citizens another opportunity to vote on
the issue of cleaning up Rosslyn. The
chances are good that redevelopment
would win handily In another referen-
dun.

No Strait Jacket

The recent transit decision by Judge
F. Dickinson Let's has affirmed fully
and we hope concluSively-that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission possesses diScre-
tionary powers in determining the fares
and profits of the D. C. Transit System.
With new fare-boost request now
pending, the ruling is especially timely,
and should eliminate great deal of the
confusion and argument which has pre-
vailed in the past
The single narrow point of law" on
which Judge Let's ruled was whether
the transit company was entitled, as
matter of law, to any proposed fare
structure which would yield not more
than 6l2-per cent return on its gross
operating revenues. This contention was
cited by the company in demanding that
the court increase fare schedule that
was put into effect last March. Judge
Let's found no such guarantee in the
transit franchise granted by Congress,
and said that the PUG. may consider
either operating revenues or the So
called rate base" of the company in
reaching its determination of a "rea-
Sonable and just" return.
From the public point of view, the
decision is fortunate one indeed, for
the rigid limitation that the transit
company would impose on the P. U. C.
would change that agency from public
regulatory body to a mere adding ma
chine" as one commission lawyer aptly
put it. Certainly Congress intended no
such ridiculous curtailment of the COM
missions effectiveness when it specified
that D. c. Transit be assured of the op-
portunity to make fair profit. Mem
bers of the P. U c. must be prepared, of
course, to justify the basis on which they
determine that return is reasonable"
But that determination must also con-
slider the needs of the community-not
those of the company alone.
