says Federal employe votes
definitely helped Senator Ken
nedy attain victory.
Noting. that Mr.. Kennedy's
victory margin was less than
100000 votes and that he won
the key industrial States by
relatively narrow margins. Mr..
Langan said it was the major
ity of Government workers
votes in these States that
helped put Mr.. Kennedy
across.
The "a million Federal and
postal workers and the i'm
mediate members of their
families comprise a bloc Of at
least 5 million votes.
Mr.. Langan said he wasn't
claiming that postal and Gov
ernment employees voted in a
solid bloc for Senator Kennedy.
There are many Federal work.
ers who are Republicans and
who voted for Mr.. Nixon, he
noted.
But the union official de-
clared he was certain that a
substantial majority of Fed
eral and postal workers and
their families voted for Sena-
tor Kennedy.
Mr.. Langan said the chief
reason why the majority of
Government workers voted for
Senator Kennedy was their re-
sentiment over the fact that
President Eisenhower had
vetoed four Government pay
raise bills during the last 7la
years. ~
However. according to Mr..
Langan. the thing that hurt
Mr.. Nixon most was the Vice
Presidents failure to intercede
with President Eisenhower on
behalf Of the pay raise bill this
year.
Employe leaders had urged
Mr.. Nixon to use his influence
with Mr.. Eisenhower to get
him to sign the pay bill. Mr..
Nixon refused. Subsequently,
Mr.. Eisenhower vetoed the pay
raise bill but Congress over
rode the veto.
Whether Mr.. Langan's analy-
sis of the Federal employe vote
is valid is hard to prove or dis
prove. In nearby areas here,
Senator Kennedy received sub
stantial majorities in nearby
Maryland, but Mr.. Nixon won
by a narrow margin in nearby
Virginia.
However, it is true that a
large bulk of Government work.
ers, especially the well-organ-
lied postal workers whose union
leaders are predominantly
Democrats, are concentrated in
the big city areas where Sena-

pluralities that enabled him to

mcdiately adjacent inland, af-

waterfront.
Under the councils plan
there would be a broad pedes-
trian Walkway leading from
Twelfth to Sixth street, inter-
rupted at Seventh and Ninth
streets where entrances would
be made from Maine avenue
to Water street.
Alon this promenade would
be small shops, flower stalls,
stands, and pavilions, inter-
spersed with Handicapped plazas
lined with benches and trees.
The promenade would be about
. feet above Maine avenue and
would be reached by a separate
access driveway to the south.
Parking tspaces for about 500
cars would be provided under
the promenade.
Buildings Separated
Building sites along the water
front itself would be separated
by seven large plazas at the
bulkhead level along the Chan
mel. There another promenade
following the shoreline would
connect the several plazas, each
plaza to be of a different design.
Pedestrian access to all parts
of the waterfront would be
provided by small, rubber
tired trains running along the
promenades.
The councils plan also would
feature greatly expanded ma
rinaS, restaurants, exhibits and
other leisure and receation ia
cilities. Its members feel the
cost of the plan would be less
than former plans which sug-
gested an elevated freeway and
a wall of structures to be built
on the waters edge.
To Provide Guidelines
The council plan was de-
signed by the architectural firm
of Satterlee & Smith. The
project was announced last

the eventual waterfront de-

Hansen Sees
Need for 9
Junior Highs
Overcrowding
Of $1,000 Pupils
Feared by 1867
BY ANDREW w. BINGHAM
Star staff Writer

The overcroWding that began
in District junior high schools
last year threatens to become a
much more severe problem
during the next seven years,
according to the latest enroll
ment estimates.
Supt. Carl F. Hanson reported
yesterday that nine new 1000
pupil Junior highs would have
to be built between now and
1867 to handle adequately the
expected enrolment of $1,000
students at that time.
Only three such structures,
however, are included in the
current Six-year public works
plan. And Congress has not
granted money for any of them.
Although the superintendent
said the projected enrolment
figure may be somewhat high,
he added there can hardly be
any question" that considerably
more construction will be re-
quired.
5000 Over Capacity
Last year there were only
about 900 more students in
junior highs than the rated ca
pacity of 21,415; during the
coming year there will be 5000
students more than this ca
pacity.
DIR. Hansen said the most
severe problem will develop in
the Northeast and far North
west sections of the city. One
new building was scheduled for
construction this year at South
Dakota avenue and Hamilton
street NE. But Congress so
far has baked at authorizing
the $2.6 million expense.
Even if this structure is
built, the superintendent said
in his special report to school
board members, there still will
be need for two more schools
to relieve overcrowding at Mac
farland, Paul and Taft Junior
Highs.
EducatiOnally "UnsOund"
! Last year some overflow stu
dents from Macfarland moved
into neighboring Roosevelt
High for classes. The same
procedure will be followed this
fall for 230 youngsters there.
Although school officials even-
tually will use available space
in other senior highs for the
same purpose, DR.. Nansen cau-
toned that such an arrange
ment lis considered an expedi-
ent only and must be consid-
cred educationally unsound."

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin and Chief Judge E.
Barrett Prettyman of the Court
Iof Appeals earlier had drafted
the plan calling for appoint
ment of masters to the Juvenile
Court.
The masters would be Of

assistants to Judge Ketcham.
They would hear cases as
judges, but their rulings would
be subject to Judge Ketcham S
approval.
Under Mr.. McLaughlin's and
Judge Prettyman's plan. the
the masters would function
only until Congress clears leg
islation for more full-time
judges.
Senate Passed Bill
The Senate has passed a bill
providing for two additional
judges, but similar requests
have been blocked in a House
District subcommittee headed
by Chairman James C. Davis.
Judge Ketchum in testimony
before the Senate earlier this
month warned that the backlog
in his court had climbed from

The
Rambler
Is Threatened
With q Boarding
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The difference between
morals and ethics has al
ways puzzled the writer. It
gives the photographers diff
ficulty.
Merriam Webster suggests
that morals pertain to
mans natural sense or
reasoned judgment of what
is right or wrong"
Ethics, it says, is "the
science of morals"
Aristotle made ethics IA
nous by writing the treatiSes
known as "Nichomedean
Ethics" published by his
son-in-law, Nichomedus, and
"Eudemian Ethics" prepared
by his pupil, EudemaS.
And Cicero coined the
Latin word moraliS, from
mos plural, moreS) meaning
custom, as the equivalent of
the Greek word ethikoS.
Our commoneSt use of the
word is in the term, "profes-
sional ethics"
This is usually touted as
being rules for the protec-
ton of the public but the
ones most carefully observed
are for the protection of our
selves and our fellow profess
sionals.
Thus it is unethical for a
lawyer to advance money to
a client Che may not get 1t
back. A doctor does not
belittle the diagnosis of a
fellow physician. And the
primary ethic of a news
paperman is one that pro-
tectS himself: He does not
reveal his source.
