Evening star., 1960-08-31

Municipal Court mere even though, as
part of his defense, he posed this ques-
tion: Does an unpopular group have
the right to 60 out and preach unpop-
ular ideas under our Constitutions" In
New York, State Supreme Court Judge
has denied him permit for public
speech. Referring to the infiammatory
nature of Rockwell'S speeches and lit
erature, the New York Judge said: "This
court cannot agree that the conStitu-
tional guarantee of free speech encom-
passes such an invitation to public
disorder, violence and even incitement
to murder"
This, we think, fits the Rockwell
case. His speeches certainly are an
incitement to violence-so much so,
in our judgment, as to exceed the
bounds of the constitutionally protected
freedom.

Worth Tryinq

In view of the shameful record of
vandalism in Montgomery County
Schools, the proposal to use watchdogs
to aid the guard force is worth try-out.
The suggestion was made by School
superintendent Whittier, who is justi-
f1ably concerned over the repeated dep
relations which have been inflicted on
county schools and school property.
County police have reported numer-
Gus cases of vandalism so far this year,
with more than dozen fragrant cases
in two-month period. Window break
ing has been the most frequent offense,
but more serious destruction has oc-
CURED from time to time, including the
smashing of furniture. Although the
county, acting under authority of new
law, has made some parents pay the
bill for repairs, the superintendent's
request for dogs indicates that the
problem is far from solved The mere
presence of such watchdogs at the
schools might we'll serve as an effective
deterrent to would-be perpetrators of
the vicious "pranks."
Evening star., 1960-08-31
Mr.. Nixon's Injury

The informal medical analyses of
Mr.. NiXon'S injured knee raise some
grim possibilities. The germ responsible
for the infection, according to one ac-
count, is potentially one of the most
fearSome in the medical books" If it
gets into the blood stream it is capable
of causing brain, lung, kidney or liver
damage.
This may be somewhat overdrawn,
since the expectation of the Vice PreSi-
dents doctors seems to be that he will
be out of the hospital and back on the
campaign trail in about two weeks Still,
there is no reason to doubt that the
injury is at least potentially serious.
For Mr.. Nixon is not the type to baby
himself. No mere bump on the knee
would take him out of the race at this
stage of the game. If he is willing to
spend two weeks in the hospital, at the
price of canceling speaking engage
mentS, one may be sure that the threat
to his health is serious one.
It is bit difficult for us to believe,
however, that this Setback-aSSuming
that the Vice President is back in form
in approximately two weeks-will prove
to be a major blow to his chances of
being elected. There is only so much
that any candidate can say to the
voters, and the tendency, we think, is
to err on the side of talking too much.
If Mr.. Nixon is back in action by the
middle of September, that will give him
seven weeks, more or less, for speech
making. And that ought to be enough.
OF course, the situation will be
different if the infection spreads so thai
he is laid up for a significantly longer
period of time. But this merely argues
in behalf of the proposition that Mr..
Nixon, in following his doctors advice,
has done the sensible thing-both with
respect to his own well-being and his
campaign prospects.
Evening star., 1960-08-31
Matter of Choice

1t is we'll to be reminded, as was the
case before an assembly of doctors and
lawyers here during the past week end,
that men may develop allergies toward
the cosmetics worn by their ladies. And
as noted, this does indeed imply a legal
responsibility on the part of the manu-
facturers to see that their products are
not harmful either to boy or girl.
bit of research into the cosmetics
field, however, indicates that the usage
is here to Stay-and has been for a
very long time. The British Museum,
for example, has unguent vases dating
back to $500 B. G. and the tomb of Tut
ankhamen, who ruled Egypt about 1850
B. c., repeatedly contained many excel
lent specimens of the art of the cos
metician. In earlier times, also, the
use of cosmetics was under threat of
legal action. In ITO, a bill was intro
duced in the English Parliament pro-
viding that "all women of whatever age,
rank, profession or degree that
shall =. betray into matrimony any of
His Majesty's subjects by the scents,
paints, cosmetic washes (etc.) shall in
CuL GI1e peLdlCy VI GIle law III 1OTce
against witchcraft."
Still, from mans standpoint we
like the approach taken by the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica in its simple state
ment that cosmetics are used mainly
to finish artistically what nature has
left undone." On this basis, we'll set
tie for what little risk may be involved.
1t seems better than being allergic to
natures unfinished work.
Evening star., 1960-08-31
Cause of Delay

The indefensible decision of the
House District Committee to kill the
Senate-pasSed amendment to Washing
tons redevelopment act seems likely
to slow down at least one segment of
the big Southwest rebuilding program.
And it is the height of irony that the
committee which so outSpokenly has
criticized slow progress in the South
west will be wholly responsible for this
new delay.
A vigorous last-ditch effort is being
made by District and Redevelopment
Land Agency officials to salvage the
most pressing provision of the omnibus
amendment--a simple authorization to
permit proposed multimillion dollar
hotel to bridge city street near the
Tenth Street Mall. Many months have
been spent on an elaborate design of
the mall area, and this, as we'll as the
design of the hotel itself, will remain
unsettled until the bridging
authorization is granted. Scant as the
chances appear, we hope that members
of the House committee will extend
themselves to provide at least this
crumb before adjournment.
BY itself, however, this provision
is only a small part of the package.
In January, the District Commissioners
are certain to be back with the several
other vital amendments which have
been agreed upon in long discussions
between civic leaders and officials of
the Federal, and District governments.
At that time, it is essential that
clear explanation of the need for each
of the legislative changes be fully docu-
mented The suggestion by Represent
ative Broyhill of Virginia that the Fed
eral City Council submit a report in
January on all aspects of urban re-
newal in Washington can be most help
full in this respect. In addition, the
Senate District Committee has directed
its staff to investigate the various prob
lens involved in redevelopment here.
All of this is evidence of disturb
ing amount of uncertainty and mis-
understanding on Capitol Hill about the
entire urban renewal program in Wash
ington, an atmosphere in which Con-
greSS can hardly make sensible decisions
on the necessary legislative changes
that will crop up from time to time.
Accord on basic aims and procedures
between congressional leaders and the
officials in charge of urban renewal
must be reached if the program truly
is to pick up impetus and move ahead
in orderly fashion.

A Genuine Liberal

Senator O'Mahoney sang his Senate
swan song on Monday evening. Retir-
ing at the end of this session, he has
introduced the last bill that will carry
his name as a sponsor One of the
tributes paid him on the Senate floor
came from his junior colleague from
Wyoming, Senator MCGEE, who placed
in the Congressional Record a list of
laws sponsored or cosponsored by Sen
ator O'Mahoney in his twenty-Seven
years of Senate service. The list, printed
in small type, filled more than two
pages of the Congressional Record.
The laws he helped to make are
many. But we doubt if the enactment
of any of them required more hard
work, mere skill in the legislative art,
more courage, or exemplified more gen.
uine liberalism in the best meaning of
much abused term, than what he did
to prevent the enactment of bills that
might have become law
One of these was the Roosevelt
court-packing proposal Senator OMa-
honey came to the Senate as a depend
able New Dealer and a staunch sup
porter of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But
he made his choice and fought the bill
with everything he had. He helped
defeat it. Years later, in 1857, he took
leadership in the fight against the pro-
posal to deny jury trials in the civil
rights bill. An acknowledged champion
of civil rights, he won his point, and
by winning it contributed to passage
of the first civil rights bill since Recon-
Struction.
Because he was always considered
liberal" Senator, his position on these
and some other proposals brought him
harsh criticism as traitor to his cause
While popular concepts of liberalism
change, however, Senator O'Mahoney
never did. He leaves the Senate with
a fine record. II owe allegiance to the
people only" he used to say. In return
they gave him their reSpect-and he
takes it with him into retirement.
