Curb Your DOG
Rules Urged by
Georgetown Unit

The Progressive Citizens As
sociation of Georgetown last
night asked for legislation by
the District Commissioners
which would set up curb your
dog" laws for the area.
Its pretty hard to enjoy a
quiet evening stroll around
here" observed one of those
present. IF something were
done to require pet owners to
train their animals. things
would be a lot more pleasant. I"
The group also resolved that
no superstructureS or equip
ment housing atop buildings
in residential areas should be
allowed if they raise the height
of the building above the 40
foot limit set by present zoning
in residential areas.
On the same topic, it was fur
ther decided that when such
superstructures appear on
buildings less than 40 feet high,
they should be set as many feet
back from the edge of the
building as they are tall.
The group meeting at George
town Presbyterian Church, also
voted to send a letter to the
Commissioners requesting that
they hold a public meeting re-
garding the subject of on
street" parking in Georgetown.

Brentwood Area
Project Raises
Search Issue

House-to-house search by in
spectors in the Brentwood con-
servation project came in for
stringent criticism last night at
a meeting of the Brookland
Citizens Association.
The issue was whether or not
inspection could be made with
out a warrant.
The project, sponsored by the
District Urban Renewal Opera
tions Committee, is designed to
conserve a 199-block Northeast
area. bounded by the South
Dakota avenue and the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad tracks on
the east, Bryant street on the
south, and the Baltimore &
Ohio tracks and Michigan
avenue on the west and north.
Housing inspection is aimed
at getting strict compliance
with the District housing regu-
lations.
The project will seek to get
voluntary cooperation of area
leaders, but violations will call
for the issuance of orders with
a compliance time allowance
under the program.
The association deferred ac-
ton on the project until next
month pending further details
and Qualification.
The meeting was conducted
by Kathleen Noel, president, at
1852 Lawrence street NE.

Hot Time in Old Town

The disclosure that Senators Morse
and Humphrey will match speeches in
the Districts Democratic presidential
preference primary on May makes one
thing certain: It will not be dull affair
Senator Morse has already accused
Senator Humphrey of cutting labor's
jugular vein" by voting for the labor
reform bill And while Senator Hum
phrey has not yet replied in kind, he is
fully capable of holding his own, even
with Senator Morse, in a debate pitched
to this level
Just what will be proved in the end
is not quite clear. Senator Humphrey
appears to be running in his own behalf.
If he wins here, the Districts nine con-
vention votes will be cast for him at Los
Angeles-at least until the Humphrey
hopes have been sunk and 1t becomes
expedient to switch the Districts votes
to the Democratic winner The case
with Senator Morse is a bit different.
The Oregonian can hardly be thinking
of himself as serious contender for the
nomination, since he hasn't ghost of
chance. 1t may be, as the Senator has
said, that he merely wants to discuss the
iSSueS-at length. Or, as A. L. Wheeler,
his local campaign manager, has inti-
mated, the Senator from Oregon may be
coming into Washington as kind of
stalking horse for Adlai Stevenson. This
would be a strange performance, how
ever, since Mr.. Stevenson has shown
a massive unwillingness to get himself
involved
However this may be, our town will
be in for hot time when the gentlemen
from Oregon and Minnesota lock horns
on the local hustingS. Perhaps the right
to vote for delegates to the political con-
ventions makes it all worthwhile But
we confess to certain misgivingS in light
of the fact that the legal residents of
Washington will not be permitted to
vote for anyone after the conventions
are over. AS one looks ahead to May
and considers the prospect, as TennySon
might have put it, of Senator Morse to
the left Of us and Senator Humphrey

Justified FAA Crockdown

Testimony by Federal Aviation Ad-
miniStrator QueSada before the Senate
Aviation Subcommittee has provided
persuasive Justification for the FAA
breakdown on pilot laxity of the sort
blamed in some recent aviation acci-
dents. With So per cent of airline
crashes attributed to personnel failures,
the FAA would be Shirking its RESPONSE
bilitieS to the public If it did not take
firm measures to deal with this problem.
Mr.. QueSada is right in asserting that
the aviation community cannot tolerate
any careleSSness, neglect or incompe-
tence in any phase of aviation affecting
public safety"
The criticism hurled at the FAA and
its head by pilots groups who resent the
So-called "geStapo" inspection of planes
IN flight has been met by Mr.. Quesada
with facts which show that more, not less,
inspection and enforcement are needed.
He told the subcommittee of a fatal
crash of an airliner whose pilot had not
had a physical checkup in three years
and whose records, he said, had been
"falSifled" to conceal that neglect.
Commercial pilots are required to un-
dergo three physical examinations every
year, In another case an inspector

FUSED admittance to the cockpit by an
other captain. In a near-accident over
the Atlantic, the pilot was absent from
the cockpit at critical moment.
The FAA administrator said that
flight crew failures can best be counter
acted by improved training, improved
qualification requirements and better
cockpit discipline" He has served no.
tice, through his testimony at the air.
safety hearing, that he intends to con-
tinue and extend the FAA's efforts to
enforce strict compliance by all fight
personnel with the reasonable safety
rules adopted for their own safety as
well as that of the public.
Since the FAA'S analysis of recent
air crashes has shown that mechanical
failures play relatively small part in
the accidents and that weather "turbu-
lence" was factor in only 8 per cent
OF the cases, the concentration on the
human factor is logical and completely
warranted. Pilot organizations ought
TO be cooperating in such measures
to safeguard the public, rather than
lndulging in what Mr.. Quesada has
described as pure invective and intem-
perate attacks" on the FAA.
