To Make Driving Safer

Maryland still lags behind most
other States in an important phase Of
trafnc safety-periodic re-examination
Of. automobile drivers. In fact, 1t was
not until recently that Maryland aban-
doned the plan Of giving drivers lifetime
licenses to drive, instead of requiring
regular renewals. But the renewals may
be obtained without any check-up on
continued ability to operate car safely.
It Is this gap In the State highway safety
program that Baltimore's transit-trafic
commissioner, Henry A. Barnes, properly
has condemned in public statements.
Mr.. Barnes has recommended that
the next general assembly amend the
motor vehicle laws to require periodic
Written examinations and eye tests Of
all drivers. And he favors driving tests
for drivers who have been convicted Of
three moving g-traflc violations within
three years. He was moved to urge the
law reyisions by the rising trafflc toll,
especially in Baltimore, where the 1860
total OF deaths already has exceeded last
years total Of 104 and Is approaching
the aH-tiTne high record Of 11S in 1855.
The legislature in the past has re-
fused to come to grips with the driver
re-exaniination problem-just as 1t has
shied away from proposals to require
periodic inspection Of cars. We hope the
next session viii decide to place Mary
land in step with other safety -promot-
ing jurisdictions.
Evening star., 1960-12-17

independent states have brought a
realization that "these new nations are
advancing fast, leaving the people Of
Ethiopia behind"
1t is possible, Of course, to debate
the merit Of some Of these c"long
strides" or to question their direction
and motivation. Even so, what hiss
happened In Adds Ababa serves notice
that no part Of the teeming and poten-
TALLY wealthy African continent can
be assured that 1t is insulated against
the turmoil Of the times or that it can
avoid adjustment to these pressures.

Catastrophe Mystery

The midair collision over New York
City Of two modern airliners, with the
loss OF 1876 lives, the Nations worst
commercial aviation disaster, presents
the Civil Aeronautics Board and the
Federal Aviation Agency with a truly
catastrophe mystery. How could such
a long-shot meeting Of planes, coming
in for landings at separate fields under
tower-controlled directions, occur in
this age Of radar and other electronic
aids to air navigation2 Was there a
human failure, mechanical failure or
what? These are the puzzling questions
which confronted Federal and local
Investigators as they began their
studies, even before police and fire crews
had finished their grisly task Of renov-
ing the dead.
BY coincidence, yesterdays crash
between United DC-8 Jet airliner and
a TWA Super Constellation duplicated
in some respects the midair collision
over the Grand Canyon between United
and TWA passenger planes in 1858.
That was the worst accident in COM
mercial aviation history up to then,
with 12S persons dead After that
collision Federal authorities took steps
to improve electronic-beam control Of
aircraft, to insure separation Of flight
paths and levels and to study various
anticolhsion devices based on radar or
other systems. But reports Of near
collisions have continued to come in to
the FAA.
Under normal circumstances, the
two planes-ope headed. for Idlewild
and the other for LaGuardia, 10 miles
apart-would have made their ap-
proaches at attitudes that would not
conflict. But. as. one Of the tower
controllers at Idlewild put 1t: Some
thing went wrong--we don't know
what" 1t may be that, with both pilots
killed and the planes wrecked, the
Investigators may never know just what
went wrong. We are sure, however,
that the CAB and FAA will do all
in their power to find the answer in
the interest Of preventing another
such catastrophe.

a Fine Chairman

~ IN the speculation over leadership
changes in the new Congress, no ques-
ton will be more important to the
Washington area than whether Senator
Alan Bible Of Nevada will continue as
chairman Of the Senate District Com
nIittee.
We sincerely hope that he does.
If circumstances should open to Sena-
tor Bible the Craftsmanship Of the more
politically Interior Commit
tee, and this repeatedly is at least
possibility, no one could reasonably
expect him to refuse it. But we hope
that nothing less than this dissuades
him from continuing the, distinguished
and productive direction which he has
given to the affairs 0f the Nations
Capital for the last i've years. AZ
chairman Of the temporary House.
Senate Committee on Washington
Metropolitan Problems, Senator Bible
probably has gained a greater working
knowledge Of the perplexing problems
Of the metro area than any member
Of Congress. The fact that this specia,
committee now has disbanded makes
his continued service at the helm OF
the District Committee all the more
desirable and necessary.
~ The District Committee too often
is avoided, especially by freshman
Senators, as having little consequence.
Many leaders of the Senate who have
served on the committee, however, have
not found that to be the case, either
in the satisfaction Of discharging
Congress constitutional stewardship
over the District or in the development
of their own careers. The people of
Nevada have reason to be proud OF
Senator Bibles service to the Nations
Capital, and Of the added stature which
he has gained as Senator inthe process.
