To Curb Drunken Driviino

The Citizens Traffic Advisory Board
has proposed that the District adopt a
new measure against drunken drivers
that has proved successful elsewhere. 1t
is the So-called implied consent" rule,
under which an applicant for a drivers
license agrees to permit blood test if
ne should be arrested for driving while
intoxicated. The rule, spelled out by law
in New York and several other jurisdic-
tions, enables traffic authorities to can
eel the permit of anyone who refuses to
abide by his agreement to grant such
permission.
The theory of the law is that the
issuance of permit to drive is privi-
lege, not right, and that certain agree
mentS can be required as prerequisite
to the granting Of the license. Thus, in
order to obtain permit, the applicant
must sign paper agreeing to submit to
blood test or suffer forfeiture of the
permit. The system is fair to the Sus-
pected driver, for if he is not actually
intoxicated, the chemical test will prove
his innocence. And an innocent driver
should have no objection to the test.
Congress ought to consider adoption of
the plan in Washington, in the interest
of safer driving for all.

Bruce Baird

The death of Bruce Baird, at 81,
takes from the local scene civic leader
and banker who has left behind him an
outstanding record of service to the
community. A native of the Washington
Metropolitan Area (having been born in
Arlington when it was known as Alex
andria County,, Mr.. Baird worked tire
leSSly to build better National Capital
and to improve the welfare of his fellow
citizens.
AS banker trained in the law, Mr..
Baird'S counsel was valued by Federal
and District officials in matters of f.
nance. For many years he was an active
member of the District Bankers Asso-
citation Committee on Government Bor-
rowing, whose advice frequently was
sought by the Treasury on debt manage
ment and other fiscal problems. Al
though his duties as chairman and pres
ident of the National Savings & Trust
Company had priority, he found time to
serve as treasurer of numerous civic,
professional, charitable and other or
CARNATIONS. The memory of his good
works will long remain in the city to
which he was so devoted.

Rule or Ruin

There is no longer any possible doubt
as to what Mr.. KhruShchev is trying
to do to the United NationS-if he has
his way, he will rule it or ruin it.
This is the unacceptable fact which
energies from his renewed demand for
the resignation of Secretary General
Dag HammarSkjold. First, the Soviet
Premier lays down a cynical and utterly
false premiSe-that Mr.. HammarSkjold
has been guilty of lawlesSness and arbi-
trarineSs in handling the situation in
the Congo. Ignoring the point that the
General Assembly already has rejected
this estimate by 70-to-0 vote, Mr..
Khrushchev then proceeds to translate
his fiction into fact by the simple device
Of insisting that it is fact. Finally, with
this mendacious foundation laid, he in
sistS that Mr.. HammarSkjold step aside,
plainly implying that unless he does so
the Soviet Union will do everything
within its considerable power to wreck
the U. N.
Mr. Hammarskiold has stood up
manfully to this challenge. In an
answering address, he has politely but
nonetheless firmly exposed the Big Lie
in the Khrushchev thesis. And he has
said that, if supported by the smaller
nations, he will refuse to resign during
the remaining three years of his term
because to do so would throw the
United Nations to the winds"
This is exactly what would happen,
since Mr.. KhruShchev would refuse to
approve any other impartial executive
and would insist on his proposal for a
three-faction executive agency in which
each faction would have the power Of
veto
Undoubtedly. the attitude of the
Soviet Premier already has weakened
the United Nations. His stand will make
it difficult for Mr.. Hammarskjold or the
organization to function effectively in
crisis such as that in the Congo. But
the consequences of the alternative
which Mr.. Khrushchev offers are trans
parently clear The u N would be I'M
able to function at all except at the
Whim of the SovietS. It would be inca
pable of taking any action which did not
serve the ends of aggressive commu-
nism. One can only hope that this
Self-evident fact will be fully under
stood by all of the delegates. If they
fail to understand it and therefore
neglect to staunchly support Mr. Ham
marskjold's position, the doom of the
u N. will be assured. And in the long
run the future of all the member states,
especially the smaller ones, will be
placed in gravest jeopardy

Too Long Till June

1t Is noteworthy that Senator Hum
phrey has proposed that the United
States resume nuclear testing next June
unless trustworthy ban agreement is
worked out in the meantime. In his
capacity as chairman of the Foreign
Relations Disarmament Subcommittee,
he has been one of the most energetic
and optimistic advocates of such
treaty. But now he appears to be lean
ing toward the viewpoint of those who
have been severely Skeptical of the
whole business from the start.
This significant modification in Mr..
Humphreys thinking stems from the
fact that Anglo Soviet-American test
ban negotiations have been going on at
Geneva ever since October 81, 1858, but
have yet to persuade the Kremlin to
assent to system Of effective policing
Meanwhile, during all these many
months Of palavering, our country, to-
gether with Britain, has refrained from
setting off any kind of experimental
nuclear defamation. Have the Russians
done likewise? They claim that they
have, but since there is no present way
of detecting certain types of under
ground and outer-Space shots, we must
reckon with the very real and highly
dangerous possibility of Soviet cheating.
Such cheating, If it has been taking
place, as strongly suspected by Chair
man McCone Of the Atomic Energy
Commission, could gravely endanger our
nuclear leadership, especially in terms
OF developing missile warheads and po-
tentially revolutionary small" atomic
hydrogen ornaments. That is why Mr..
Humphrey, although still convinced
that reliably controlled ban would be
in the national interest, now feels that
If the Geneva talks fail to result in an
adequately policed agreement by June,
1861, our country Should definitely re-
sumo testing at the least for purposes
of research, and if necessary for weap-
ons development" Clearly, in the Sen
ator's words, THE United States cannot
: indefinitely accept situation whereby
its tests have stopped and there is no
agreement and no control system to
verify that the Soviet Union has also
stopped its tests"
This opinion has long been held by
such experts as Mr.. McCone and former
Acc Commissioner Thomas E. Murray,
who has issued more than a few elo-
quent warnings on the subject. These
men would get back to testing much
earlier than would Senator Humphrey.
Indeed, as he cogently argued in his
recent open letter to MeSSrS. Nixon and
Kennedy, Mr.. Murray would act at
once to resume detonationS, both under
the ground and in outer space, with the
least possible delay.
For our part, especially in the light
Of Mr.. KhruShchevs behavior in New
York, behavior which reekS of bad faith,
we think this country should not wait
until June. We have already waited too
long for showing of good intentions
by the Russians. The time has come to
get on with the vital business of rein
forcing our national security.

a united country" simultaneously, from
across the parliamentary aisle, came the
pledge from the leader Of the principal
minority party that there will be no
Congo in Nigeria. Nigeria will continue
to be stable"
Nigeria is rich in natural resources,
such as Oil and minerals, and in agri-
cultural potential. British aid in eco
nonlic development has been assured.
All in all, the prospects. are good that
Nigeria may become respected leader
in the unfolding African community.

A CoImer Voice in Africa

A new voice in independent African
councils, and one which offers promise of
greater maturity and calmness than has
been within reach of other newly free
states, has been added in recent days
with the orderly assumption of self-rule
in Nigeria.
Under British colonial rule since
1885, this West African country of ap-
proximately SO million people is now the
largest free black nation in the world. 1t
has acquired this status with British
willingness, formally expressed two years
ago, and in turn will remain member of
the British Commonwealth. Not only
during these two years of transition, but
even before, there had been British
Nigerian collaboration in the training of
native political leaders and government
workers at all levels of administration to
take over the task of Self-rule. Respect
for law and order Is a valued legacy of
this process and it is notable that the
spokesman of rival political parties have
joined in expressing their friendship for
the West in general, and for the United
Kingdom and the United States in par
ticular
With parliament already in being,
Prime Minister Balewa told Governor
Rockefeller of New York, President Eli
senhower'S personal representative at
independence ceremonies in Lagos dur
ing the past week end, that 1--WE want
that friendship with the U. K. and the
U. S. to become stronger" And, refer
ring then to the problems of achieving
unity in country of many different
tribal, linguistic and religious groups, as
is the case in Nigeria, Mr.. Balewa re-
called a visit to our own country in 1855
The Associated Press quotes him: When
l saw people of every national origin and
race living together in unity and pride
above all in their American citizenship,
I said in Washington hotel room that,

completely forget their ancestral homes

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Lunar Diamonds q Possibility
By THOMAS r. HENRY

400 feet, the depth Of the
present crater floor below the
rim, and at that depth to
have resulted in a titanic ex-
plosion. The meteorite itself
must have been shattered in
to thousands of bits scattered
over the countryside.
At some point in this ex-
plosion heats and pressures
must have been sufficient to
produce coesite or, if the
proper materials had been
at hand, diamonds.
The moons surface can't
hold any atmosphere-even
the thinnest layer of the very
heavy gases, krypton and
xenon. seeping from the
satellites interior.
This was reported to the
American Physical Society by
DrS. F. S. Singer and E. j.
Opik of the University of
Maryland on the basis of ex-
perimental studies of the
action of sunlight on these
gases, heavy enough, per Sc,
to be kept from escape by the
moons gravity.
Any which are retained,
the report says, must have
been kept out of any direct
exposure to the sun.
Heavy Gases Captive
IF the solar radiation"
according to the Maryland
report, were able to heat
these gases directly to very
h ig h temperatures they
would boil off quite easily but
actually they are too thin
and will not absorb any heat
from solar radiation. The
lunar surafec absorbs the en-
ergy of the sun but still the
temperature is so low that
the heavy gases would not
escape"
1t is quite different, how
ever, when the ultra violet
light from the sun is con-
sidered with its ability to
break up the atoms of these
heavy gases. Outer electrons
are stripped off and the
moons gravity is not strong
enough to hold them. They
even pull other electrons with
them as they are drawn into
space.

The moon may be Strewn
with diamonds.
This is a not-entirely i'm
possible implication from the
discovery by United States
Geological Survey mineral
ogistS of a mineral known as
coesite, a dense and highly
stable form of quartz, in
sandstone collected at Me-
teor Crater, Arizona. This
rock was not known hitherto
to exist in nature. A few
years ago, however, it had
been produced in a labora-
tory by subjecting quartz to
extremely high temperatures
and pressureS roughly
equivalent to those used by
the General Electric Co. in
producing the first artificial
diamonds from carbon.
Such temperatures and
pressures must have been
created at least momentarily
by the crash of the falling
star" into the earth which
produced the Arizona crater.
Such craters produced in the
same way pock-mark the
visible face of the moon. Pre-
sumably they would have
created the same tempera-
lures and pressures - the
necessary conditions for
making diamonds.
Coesite, per Sc, Geological
Survey scientists warn, is not
to be confused with diamond.
Internationally it belongs to
a quite different family. But
the now proved existence of
coesite indicates that dia-
mondS may have been pro-
duced in nature by the same
conditions acting on differ
ent material which would
have been present in the
earth.
The meteorite which Gre
ated the Meteor Crater mil
lions of years ago, the Survey
biologists calculate, must
have had an impact velocity
of from seven to % miles a
second with an energy of
about 100000 tons of TINT.
The body from space is pre-
sumed to have penetrated
the earth to a depth of about

THE POLITICAL MILL
Election May Turn on Few Votes
BY GOULD LINCOLI

the First World War had
started in Europe. The slo-
gan, He kept us out of war;"
was immensely effective in
parts of the country - al
though in the end, it was an
affront to Senator Hiram
johnson of California by the
managers Of the campaign
Of Charles Evans Hughes
that gave the California
electoral college votes to
Wilson by a few hundred
popular votes-and so elected
him. In 1910, Franklin D.
Roosevelt was running for a
third term. The Second World
War was taking Europe and
Asia by the throat. Roose-
welt, with his experience, was
reelected. Four years later,
Roosevelt was winning the
war, and he was elected a
fourth time.
The Case Of Eisenhower
The war in Korea, by the
time the 1852 election cam
paign rolled around, had
become a terrific issue in this
country. The election of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, who
promised to end that war
and who had been Supreme
Commander of the Allied
Forces in Europe during the
Second World War, was
overwhelmingly accomplished.
BY 1856, the clash with Com
muniSt Russia had grown to
huge proportions. Again the
country elected the man it
considered best fitted to
handle the situation and to
assure peace-without ap-
basement.
Under the Eisenhower
leadership, the country has
remained at peace though
the cold war increased and
waned and increased again.
If Mr.. Eisenhower could run
for a third term, the odds
are great he could not be
defeated.
So this issue of war and
peace again is dominant.
Many independent voters
will be guided by their faith
in Mr.. Nixon or Senator
Kennedy as the stronger
leader to succeed Mr.. Eisen-
hover in the White House.
Millions of voters have al
ready made up their minds
to vote for Senator Kennedy
or for Mr.. Nixon. No one
knows just how they have
decided to vote. And many
other millions may still be
undecided. Some are indif-
ferent and seem not to care
which candidate is elected.
Some even may not vote.
Nothing could be less intel
ligent. For on the decision
rests so much for so many.
The history of American
presidential elections shows
that time and again victory
has been won by a margin of
only a few thousand popu-
lar votes-particularly in
the most populous States
New York, California, Penn
sylvania and the like. This
could happen again. In 1880,
James A. Garfield defeated
Winfield Scott Hancock by
small pluralities in several
States with good-sized num-
bers of electoral votes
though each carried 10
States. Grover Cleveland in
1884 defeated James G.
Blaine because he carried
New York by 1,149 votes. A
change Of SIS votes would
have given New York's cleo
toral vote to Blaine. Four
years later Cleveland lost to
Benjamin Harrison, because
he failed to carry New York
again-by 1873 votes. The
election of Wilson over
Hughes in 1916 because of
his narrow margin in Cali
fornia has already been
cited. This kind of thing
could happen November g.
election day.

GENITAL election been reck-
oned by political leaders and
objective observers so close
and so uncertain as the
Nixon-Kennedy contest is to-
day. At least two major ques-
tons continue to puzzle them.
The first is what effect will
the issue of war and peace
Of foreign policy-have, and
which man can better deal
with that issue. The second
is the religious issue, growing
out Of the fact that Senator
John F. Kennedy Of Massa-
chusettS, the D e ocratic
nominee for President, is a
Catholic. There are other
factors, Of course - among
them the civil rights issue
which is effective in both the
North and the South. There
is the issue raised by organ
lied labor in favor of Senator
Kennedy, which contends he
is a better friend to the work.
ing man than Vice President
Nixon, his Republican oppo-
nent. And that, too, has diff
fering effects in North and
South. In the Midwest, dis
content of farmers may prove
a vital factor.
Little more than a month
from today the voters will go
to the polls and express their
preference. Doubtless, the
campaign will come more and
more to the fore in the minds
of the American people. There
have been few election cam
paigns, h viewer, so over
Swallowed as the preSen t
campaign has been by the
meeting of the United Ma
tons General Assembly in
New York. The vital question
Of disarmament, of a lessen
ing Of world tensions, and of
the altern a tive-a total
atomic war-Seems to hang
in the balance. So far the
Communist bloc, headed by
Russia's Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev, has continued to in
Sist on complete agreement
to Communist demands as
the price for even a SEM
blance of lessened tension.
And so far, President Eisen-
hover properly has resisted
appeaSement - appeasement
which invariably leads to
other demands and eventu-
ally to complete surrender or
war.
The Top Issue
The situation has high
lighted the issue of foreign
policy to the nth degree in
the minds of Americans and
indeed of the peoples of the
world. 1t cannot fail to have
its effect on the presidential
election now coming up. Who
is the better man-Mr. Nixon
or Senator Kennedy-to take
over the presidency and to
continue this struggle? Who
has had the greater expert
ence, who has the greater
knowledge of world affairs
and world leaders? The Re-
publicans insist their team
Of Mr.. Nixon and Henry
Cabot Lodge Is far better
equipped than is the Demo-
cratic team of Senators Ken
needy and Johnson. The
Democrats seek to make light
of the issue of experience in
dealing with the foreign
powers and the U. N. They
say that experience or no
experience, Senators Kennedy
and johnson can deal with
the Russians and the Com
munist world and also with
the allies of the free world
and with the "neutralist
nations"
This question Of war and
peace has had marked effect
on five presidential elections
since the turn of the century.
In 1915, Woodrow Wilson was
running for a second term.
