1t is happy thing that most people,
no matter where they live, are basically
sentimental and romantic. That is why
so many of us around the world have
found northumberland perhaps a
measure of escape from the humdrum,
workaday affairs of exiStence-in the
glittering wedding story of the lovely
Princess Margaret of Britain.
AS beauty of the blood royal, and
as the Queens sister, Margaret has
created considerable stir (the first of
its kind in hundreds of years of British
history by marrying commoner. AS a
result, she is now just plain Mrs. Antony
armstrong JoneS-a radiant bride whose
young husband is as talented as he is
perSonable. Presumably he will be given
some title in due course, but that is a
question of little consequence in the
context of their love story. What counts
at the moment, as far as the outside
world is concerned, is that Britons in
general feel toward the bride as John
Masef1eld, their poet laureate, has Just
written:
All England here, whose symbol is the
Rose,
Prays that this Ladys fortune may be
fair,
Through LifeS annoyS that threaten
everywhere,
Through Deaths assaults that Sadden
everyone.
Such praying is the hope that DM
betriend
And in the mortal darkness bring the
Sun.
This sentiment has governed the
millions in Britain, not to mention the
millions in America and elsewhere, who
have followed Princess Margaret's ro-
nance for months past and who hope
that her marriage will be but the begin
ming of many years of happiness. In
any case, the story of the event serves
as a sort of antidote to things like the
news of Nikita Khrushchev'S ugly full
limitations in Moscow.

Praises BroyhM

1t was like a breath of
fresh air in a miasmatic
swamp to note the refusal of
Representative Joel Broyhill
to dip into the Federal pork
barrel to get money for more
parks in his district.
I wonder when we will
learn that the Federal Gov
ernment must get appropri-
ated funds from the tax
payers. When the Federal
Government tempts commu-
mites to undertake projects
of questionable need, by
offering to furnish a major
part of the cost, it means
that it is offering to Virginia
money taken from, say, Penn
Sylvania, while at the same
time it is Seducing Penn
Sylvania with offers of the
taxes paid by the people of
Virginia.
The people of Northern
Virginia are especially fortu-
nate in having large park
areas furnished to them with
out cost. George Washington
Memorial parkway extending
from Mount Vernon to Chain
Bridge and ultimately to
Great Falls furnishes a beau
tiful park with picnic areas
along its length, and all of
this is kept UP by the Fed
eral Government. But ire
Spective of this we should
turn thumbs down upon all
unnecessary expenditures as
long as we have to period
cally increase the national

George England's vacillation

THE POLITICAL MILL
Trying to Hold Down Nixon?
By GOULD LINCOLN

Senator Barry Goldwater
of Arizona, chairman of the
Republican Senatorial Cam
paign Committee, in the
space of "a hours has ad-
vocated the passage of State
right-to-work laws and at
tackled the Eisenhower ad-
minlstration's program for
medical care for the aged as
part of a dime store New
Deal" Undoubtedly he was
expressing his views as an
individual Senator. How
ever. he can hardly diSas-
sociate himself from his Of
ficial position as chairman
of the COP. committee
which is to work for the cleo
ton of Republican Senators
next November. Irrespective
of the merits or dement's of
the right-to-work PROPOSE
ton, it is an issue which in
1858 killed off former Sen
ator John w. Bricker in
Ohio, a veteran Republican,
who had been known as the
best vote-getter in his State.
Also, it helped to snow under
former Senator William F.
Knowland of California in
his race for Governor.
Senator Goldwater, despite
his stand on right-to-work
and other issues, was able to
win reelection in Arizona in
the same year. There were
contributing reasons. But if
in the coming campaign
Senator Goldwater goes into
States like Massachusetts,,
New Jersey, Kentucky, Ore
gon, Rhode Island, Michigan,
Minnesota, West Virginia,
South Dakota, and Kansas,
where Senators are to be
elected, and attacks the
Eisenhower adminiStra ton
and supports right-to-work
State laws, the COP. cause
will suffer. OF course, he
may carefully avoid such
subjects when he gets on the
stump-and many of his Re-
publican colleagues who have
a high personal regard for
Senator Goldwater believe
he will confine himself to at
tacks on the Democrats.
How many of the Republic
can candidates for the Sen
ate will urge the Arizona
Senator to come into their
States and campaign for
them? Obviously, the DEM
ocrats, who may look on the
Republican senatorial chair
man as their secret-or not
so secret-weapon, are not
going to let the voters for
get the Goldwater attacks on
the Eisenhower administra-
ton, or his right-to-work
stand.
Threat to Party Victory
There is no slightest doubt
that administration officials
look askance at the Gold
water ultra conservatism.
The Republican national or
ganiZation is considerably
more than irritated. Further
more, if Vice President Nixon
is the presidential nominee
of the Republican Party, as
now seems virtually assured,
Senator Goldwater's views are
not likely to help him. Mr..
Nixon has made it abundant
ly clear he will run on the
record of the Eisenhower
administration, an admins
tration with progressive Re-
publican ideas, and that he
will go even further. PreSi-
dent Eisenhower has APP
proved, saying that Mr..
Nixon would be silly not to

Teachers Salaries

Your stories on the recent
County Board hearing on the
school and county budgets
gave scant coverage to the
arguments of those opposed
to an unprecedented increase
in the tax rate resulting from
proposals for expenditures
for the l960-6l fiscal year.
Your news report simply
reported the Arlington Apart
ment Owners, for example, as
categorically opposed to the
budget increases. But there
was no breakdown as to facts
contained in the statement
presented to the County
Board on the merits of salary
increases for teachers, the
reasons why the kindergarten
program should be postponed,
or why, with the master plan
IS per cent completed, the
Planning Office staff should
be reduced.
AS for the proposed in
crease in the beginning SAL
aries of teachers, your news
coverage omitted any men,
ton of the fact that, as the
association said, such schools
as those in Philadelphia, Bal
timore, st. Louis and Boston
last year paid beginning
teachers only $4,000 as OPP
posed to the $4,000 proposed
for the Arlington schools.
Even the schools in New
York, Washington, D. c., and
Cleveland, Ohio, paid begin
ming teachers less than that
proposed for the Arlington
schools.
This association pointed
out in its statement to the
County Board that the
schools chief reason for
turnover of teachers is due to
military transfers and ma
ternity reasons, not to salary
reasons. This association also
pointed out that teachers
salaries have been increased
tremendously in recent years,
and that there should now be
a levelling off.
This association also feels
that there should be no in
crease in any teachers sala-
ries unless they can be in
creased without a tax in
crease. This is also true of
proposed new programs for
the schools, including the
kindergarten program, for
which the schools are not
fully equipped to initiate this
year. In calling for economy
in both the schools and the
county departments. this
association pointed out to the
County Board that at least
$1,4 million in county, Fed
eral and State income will
be added to county revenue
in the next fiscal year with
out a tax increase, which is
one reason why there should
be no large tax increases, if
there be any tax increase
at all!

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

We asked Templeton Jones
how it comes about that he is
wearing sun glasses this
summer.
you have always spoken
against them before" we
said.
Jones explained it this
way:
Life has a way, now and
then. of grabbing you by the
back of the neck and giving
you a good shake.
Sometimes this is good for
you. 1t tends to beat some
common sense into an other
wise thick head, to make one
stop and think, he says.
For many years this re-
doubtable sun bather has
been scorning eye coverings
as things unnecessary.
There had been, too, the
Hollywood influence. Temp
Jones naturally tends to re-
pudiate anything Hollywood
takes up.
Undoubtedly the movie
queens wear sun glasses for
the effect, which they think
is devastating, as sometimes
it is. particularly when
Mavis wears 'em.
You know who Mavis is?
We didn't, and asked Jones.
He said he selected that
name because he likes it and
because it sounds Holly
woodish. that is all.
+ =
The man who hasn't seen
a movie for 80 years-and
who has only heard one show
with Sound-blinked behind
his big glasses.
He said he has been
amazed to find that nobody
paid the slightest attention
to his Italian style lenses
except two small boys on
absurdly small bicycles.
They were riding in Con-
necticut avenue traffic at the
very height. One was per-
haps 6 years old, and the
other no more than 7.
Neither should have been
there, Jones thought, but
what he thought made no
difference, evidently.
The younger boy looked at
Jones glasses, and grinned
impishly.
He looked at the other boy,
a more solemn type.
Instead of laughing at
my glasses" said Jones, you
had better keep your eyes on
the traffic"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-05-07

The boy grinned affection
ately at Templeton Jones, and
shot forward, followed by his
companion.
Temp Jones felt that his
new sun glasses had passed
the acid test.
A collector by nature, Jones
now has 10 pairs of assorted
kinds.
He discovered several years
ago, in test runs, that the
very cheap sort simply melt,
after a time. The plastic is
really plastic!
Better types last a long
time, and have better built-in
protection from too much
glare.
He says he still believes in
his old formula, that sun
glasses are rarely needed by
young persons, though mil
lions of them wear 'em.
AS a status symbol, Jones
thinks.
He heard of one young girl,
a typical teener, who made
life miserable for her parents
until they bought her a pair
of glasses.
These were not the sun
type, but just reading glasses.
which she needed about as
much as a chipmunk.
But you don't need
glasses. her father said.
you have perfect eyesight."
All the girls we're wearing
them. she insisted. Finally,
to prevent a scene, at which
modern teenagers are adept,
we understand, her parents
got her a neat pair CT glasses
with plain glass in them.
Everything was rosy. then.
i + y
Templeton Jones believes
that if more care were given
to teaching children how to
see, how to look, as well as to
read, the country would be
better off.
Certainly no other young
animal except the young of
man needs eye glasses, and
perhaps these would be better
off without them. except in
a few cases of real need.
There is a psychological
touch to the thing, Jones
believes. He says that many
persons feel insecure, in our
complex life, and need some
thing to hide behind.
A nice pair of eyeglasses, in
such cases. he says. flls the
need.

build further on what has
been accomplished.
Senator Goldwater is the
darling of the Old Guard
Republicans. He has been in
dorsed for President by the
Republicans in South Caro-
lima and Arizona. Whether he
will get any more delegate
votes in the national conven-
ton in July remains to be
seen. There have been those,
too, who wish to put him on
the Republican ticket as the
vice presidential candidate
This project. however, was
virtually drowned out by the
results of the New Jersey
sen a torial primary a few
weeks ago. when Senator
Case of that State won re-
nomination by a big major
ity over an Old Guard candi-
date, backed by a lot of
money.
Seek to Pressure Nixon
This defeat, apparently, is
not enough. The Old Guard,
some of whose members are
particularly well-heeled with
money and able to make sub
stantial campaign contribu-
lions, are intent on holding
down Mr.. Nixon and forcing
him to go along with the
ultra-conservativeS if they
can-forcing him at least not
to go beyond Eisenhower
modern Republicanism. The
threat is that campaign con-
tribution sources for the
COP. will dry up and that
ultra conservative Republic
cans will find it convenient
to stay away from the polls
on election day if the presi-
Dental candidate and the
party platform follow the
progressive line. Some of the
conservatives are very bitter
and might prefer to see the
election lost to the Democrats
If they cannot have their
own way.
While Senator Goldwater
is not to be charged with any
such detection, he is never
theless the weapon Of the
Old GuardSmen. They are in
tent upon using him and his
position in the Senate to
further their ends. His re-
election in 1858 was the one
bright spot for the ultra
conservatives. Others were
falling by the wayside in that
disastrous (for the Republic
cans) election. The major
victories for the COP. were
won by the more progressive
Republicans - for example,
Gov. Rockefeller in New York
and Senator Scott in Penn
sylvania and Gov. Hatfield in
Oregon.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell,
speaking before the Suffolk
County Republican Commit
tee in New York Thursday,
used no names but spoke out
about "the radicals of the
right and the radicals of the
left" in no uncertain terms.
He said: The Self-styled con-
sentative spokesman in mod
ern America is frequently a
radical of the right who
neither understands nor SYM
pathizeS with the true con-
sentative approach to the
abiding questions of society.
an approach so aptly de-
scribed by Edmund Burke as
"a disposition to preserve and
an ability to reform. This
disposition is apparently that
of the INSTRUMENTATION Re-
publicans, and the radicals of
the right do not like it.

The latter fact should serve
as a red warning flag to con-
gressional spendthrifts. We
should be glad that our rep
resentative in Congress has
refused to abandon common
sense to please the voters in
an election year. 1t takes
