Your editorial, Natures
Last Stand" was timely and
cogent. 1t was an excellent
contribution to the conserva-
ton effort represented by the
Wilderness Bill, and all who
have been working toward
this preservation program will
welcome your announcement.
Those who resist the estab-
lishment of any areas that
might be protected from the
exploitation in which they
are interested are trying to
defeat the Wilderness Bill
by such delay tactics as sub
stitutes and amendments and
your urgency is thus all the
more important right now.
Howard Zahniser.

In your March 5 editorial,
Natures Last Stand" which
supports enactment of the
wilderness bill by Congress,
you state that there has
been no policy to guide Con-
greSs in the handling of the
current proposals to open
Federal reservations to vari-
Gus kinds of private enter
prise, from cattle grazing
operations to timber cutting"
This statement is not true.
Federal statutes and the
Federal Code of Regulations
contain many policies which
have served and continue to
serve as the basis for the ad-
ministration Of the Federal
reservations.

ness enthusiast were truly
imbued with a desire to per-
petuate wilderness at all costs,
he would volunteer to recon-
pense out of his own pocket
the American taxpayer who
pays for his enjoyment of
wilderness. AS it is, he more
than others must be labeled

wise, those who use timber,

products must pay their way
under the law, with great
benefit to the United States

He Helped the City Grow

This is the fiftieth anniversary of
a significant event in the history of the
business and civic life of the Nations
Capital. 1t was on March 10, 1910, that
a young Ohioan, Frank R. Jelleff, bought
controlling interest in rundown store
on what was then the wrong side" of
F street NV. and began a long career
as merchant and leader in varied COM
munity affairs. 1t was a fateful day
for Mr.. Jelleff and lucky day for Wash
ington.
Mr.. Jelleff, as those who know him
will attest, was not one to be defeated
by the head-shaking of persons who
feared that he had embarked on an
enterprise fraught with too many handi-
caps. Converting the store into
women's ready-to-wear speciality shop,
1t was not long before customers were
crossing the street and making the
business thrive. 1t has grown steadily
through the years until the little shop
has developed into today's big. seven
story F street establishment, with five
branch stores in Maryland and Virginia.
In fact, he is credited with opening the
first branch store among the many
which he and his competitors now have
In the suburbs.
But business was not Mr.. Jelleffs
sole interest all these years. From his
early days here he has taken an active
part In helping to build a better COM
munity and improve the lot Of his fellow
citizens He was one of the founders
of the first boys club here and for many
years was its president and is now it's
president emeritus. Always concerned
with the welfare of the unde4privileged,
he has been an outstanding leader in
unified campaigning, at first through the
Community Chest and now through the
United Givers Fund. His boys club work
led him into the rehabilitation field for
boys and men, with terms both on the
board Of the Industrial Home School
and the Parole Board. He has also
played an important role in Red Cross,
law enforcement, cultural and other
activities
The Star joins with the entire COM
munity in wishing Frank Jelleff well as
he enters the sixth decade of his valued
service to Washington.

For Gallant Service

I read in your paper a week
or so ago that the Commits
sioners had approved the
short-term appointment Of
two social workers to the
Landlord Tenant Court to
help settle displaced persons.
That credit may be given to
years Of quiet service I should
like. II I may, to bring up this
bit of history.
In the winter Of 1939-4O,
the Board of the Washington
Housing Association asked the
Council Of Social Agencies and
the Real Estate Board to
jointly sponsor with them the
establishment at the Land
lord Tenant Court of a Land
lord Tenant Counseling Serv-
ice for the purpose of study
and demonstration. This was
done.
Happily, in August. l94l,
Congress. satisfied with the
demonstration, approved the
permanent establishment Of
this service and it was placed
under the Department Of
Public Welfare.
In November, 1941, I, as
a member Of the Washington
Housing Association, hap
pened to be on the board
to select a new social worker
for the service.
We chose Miss Doris Will
kins, who has held that posi-
ton ever since, and has not
only counseled both landlord
and tenant but has made a
continuous effort to preserve
the shelter Of all who come
to her in trouble for what
ever reason.
Only persons cognizant Of
the almost nonexistent state
Of low-cost housing in the
District and the problems
connected with such housing
and such tenants can realize
the difficulties she has en-
countered and the service
she has rendered.
AS the two social workers
come to join her, I feel she
should receive this bit of
public commentator for her
nearly 20 years of faithful
service and for the fine
groundwork she has laid for
this most necessary service. .

Runs Us Down

The Star urges Maryland
to adopt the safety promot-
ing" car inspection plan so
as to not be "out of step" with
the District of Columbia and
Virginia.
Those who urge such leg
islation should provide some
thing factual. and not be
satisfied with words that
sound good. I have yet to see
any evidence that car inspec-
lions do significantly improve
safety. and I do not believe
that the automobile insur-
ance companies reduce rates
in a State that does inspect.

Reopportionment

The League Of Women Vot-
ers Of Prince Georges County
congratulates you on your
excellent coverage Of the re-
cent battle in the Maryland
General Assembly for reap
portionment. We wish to ex-
press our strong interest in
and support for reapportion-
ment of this legislative body.
AS is well known, under
our present frozen system
of apportionment Prince
Georges County with Is per
cent of the States population
has only 4.61 per cent of the
representation in the General
Assembly. Indeed, 24.7 per
cent Of the States popula-
ton can elect a majority of
the House of Delegates. AS
suburban areas continue to
grow, the inequities caused by
this outdated formula are in
creaSing.
These inequities are many
and have their effect at all
levels Of government. For
example, the pressure for
home rule in the suburban
counties probably would not
be as great if these counties
felt that their problems
were receiving proportionally
greater consideration in the
General Assembly.
The inequalities in the
General Assembly itself, its
unresponsiveness to the needs
OF urban and suburban areas,
may be obvious, but the ef-
feet of this injustice on such
related m tiers as State
party conventions and selec-
ton of party candidates is
too often overlooked.
The old cliches against fair
representation no longer have
any validity. if indeed they
ever did. There is no evil
dence that urban and sub
urban areas organize more
pressure groups or vote more
cohesively. Current farm leg
islation lends evidence to the
contrary.
Living in a rural area does
not give anyone magical in
sight into the problems Of
the world, but our system Of
representation that permits
one rural vote to equal 10
urban votes seems to give
Endorsement to this non
sensical notion.
The heart of democratic
government is the ballot, and
unless my vote, and your
vote, and the vote of each
person in the State has the
same weight, we are trying
to run a healthy democracy
without curing'a serious, but
durable, disease.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The legs have no direct
connection with the brain,
it is true; but there is an
indirect one. One of Ameri-
cas- finest doctors has said
that proper use of the leg
muscles makes better circu-
lation in the brain.
By simple walking, then,
many persons might help
themselves ward of heart
disease and make themselves
think better.
Either one Of these objec-
tives is worthwhile: together,
they make a winning duo.
Plain walking and hiking
and golf - one or more of
these can be utilized by all
except a few. The trouble
comes when too many who
could walk never think of
doing it!
4 = 4
There is always an excuse.
Time, Of course, is the big
one.
There simply is not time
enough, one thinks, to per-
NIT walking to the corner
store and back.
So into the car he hops,
and another chance to stir
up the leg muscles has been
missed.
People who ordinarily
drive to work sometimes are
inclined to look down, in a
mild way, on the lowly pedes-
TRAN who uses a bus.
Yet that poor wight gets
good and needed exercise by
his morning hike to the bus
stop.
He also gets fresh air.
4 So
When We stop to think of
the devitalized air in all
sorts of places, some of them
very ornate and expensive
places, then we may realize
how much we all need fresh
air.
Even the fact that there
is "fall-out" in the air does
not change the situation
much-so far.
Even loaded with fall-out,
the air is the freshest we
have.
That is something to think
about.
Besides the sheer exercise,
such as 1t is, and the fresh
air (such as it Isl, we win
some measure of optimism
when we walk.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Can Kennedy Win New Hampshire?
By GOULD LINCOLN

Senator John r. Kennedy
Of Massachusetts, emergeS
from the New Hampshire
presidential primary = the
first to be held this year
with flying colors. The vote
he rolled up there on the
Democratic side of the pri-
mary was impressive and
should aid him in his quest
for his party's presidential
nomination next July. What
effect it will have on the
Wisconsin primary, April 5,
where Senator Kennedy is
locked in a struggle with
Senator Humphrey of Min
nesota, remains to be seen.
1t certainly should not hurt
his chances for victory. It
will be recalled, however,
that New Hampshire is prac-
tically Mr.. Kennedy's back
yard - where he and his
family are widely known and
where the Boston news
papers circulate freely, with
their widespread coverage of
him during recent years, as
well as during the precon-
vention campaign this year.
Wisconsin, on the other hand,
is Immediately adjacent to
Minnesota, Senator Humph-
rey's home State, and the
Minnesotan has been active
in aiding the Democrats build
up a strong organization in
the Badger State. Further,
New England has been con-
ceded to Sen. Kennedy gen.
orally in this preconvention
campaign. He is rated
stronger politically In the
New England States than in
any other section of the
country.

forces are, of course, claim

something over 800 Republic
can votes were cast for Sen
ator Kennedy. The anti
Kennedy votes in the Demo-
cratic primary exceeded the
anti-Nixon votes in the Re-
publican primary about 1000
to 5000.

Senator kennedy'S show
ing in this presidential pri-
mary was far better than
that made by Democratic
aspirants for q presidential
nomination in either 1852 or
1856. In 1852, when there
was a hard fight on the Re-
publican side, with Mr.. Eisen-
hover, Senator Taft and
Harold Stassen all entered in
the presidential primary, Mr..
Eisenhower led the field with
1861; Senator Taft was
second with 35,838, and Mr..
Stassen, 10.366-a total Of
92,865. In that same primary,
Senator Kefauver and the
then President Harry S. Tru-
man polled a total Of 36,252.
In 1856. when President Eli
senhower was unopposed, he
received something more
than $4,000 votes, as COM
pared to some $4,000 votes
for Senator Kefauver and
Adlai Stevenson, Democrats.
Nixon Foes Disappointed
If the Democrats - and
perhaps some of the Rookie
Teller adherents-hoped and
believed that the Nixon
showing would be less strong
in this New Hampshire pri-
mary than the $4,000 vote
cast for President Eisenhow-
er four years ago. they were
disappointed. In 1856, Mr..
Eisenhower had no opponent
on the presidential ballot, nor
did Mr.. Nixon on Tuesday.
Not since 1914, when New
Hampshire cast its electoral
votes for the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, has
the State been carried by q
Democratic candidate for
President in a general cleo
ton. However, the gap be-
tween the Republican vote
and the Democratic vote for
President in general elections
has been much closer than in
the primary elections, indi-
eating there is much inde-
pendent voting.
Presumably, therefore, Sem
tor Kennedy's showing in the
general election next Novem-
Der, If he is the candidate
against Mr.. Nixon, will be
far better than in the New
Hampshire primary. But he

estimated at about 80 per
cent. Senator Kennedy, a
Catholic, is expected to get
that vote. In 1928, another
Catholic, Gov. Alfred z.
Smith of New York, running
against Herbert Hoover, Re-
publican and Protestant, was
defeated by $4,000 votes in
New Hampshire, although
he carried both Massachu-
sets and Rhode Island that
year.
Mr.. Nixon did not cam
paign in New Hampshire ct
all before the primary. He
remained in Washington.
Senator Kennedy went to
New Hampshire in the final
days of the campaign--his
second trip to the State. And
some members Of the Sena-
tors family also campaigned
briefly in the State for him.
What effect was made on the
voting by the charge of Gov.
Wesley Powell that Senator
Kennedy has been soft" on
the Communists is difficult to
say. The charge was prompt
ly repudiated by Vice Presi-
dent Nixon through an aide.
Gov. Powell was heading up
the Nixon campaign in the
State. The Powell statement
was ill-advised-and without
basis, as the record of SEN
ator Kennedy shows.
