it extremely painful to fire

At one time, he wanted to

out together with our hus-
bands quite often.
Trudy's husband is a funny
sort of guy. He constantly
teaSeS me in a way that an

attention to the way ] look
or to my mannerisms. Some
times he flatters me too much

he's making fun of me.
I've tried to show in every

he doesn't catch on. I want
to talk to Trudy about it and
get him to stop. My husband
thinks I'd better not.
Victor S.-Cindy is afraid
Of breaking up her friend
ship with Trudy but I think
the surest way of breaking
things up would be for her
to talk to Trudy about this.
Cindy claims that they
have always confided in each
other and been very honest
with each other. but in my
opinion Trudy won't be able
to take any criticism Of her
husband - no matter how
tactful Cindy is about it.

This guy, AL, isn't a bad sort

Victor is right. No good

1t would be natural for
Trudy to be deeply hurt and

FAA: No Political Plum

Judging from the number of names
mentioned for the post of Federal Avia-
ton Administrator, soon to be vacated
by Elwood r. Quesada, a free-for- all
contest is developing over this highly
important regulatory Office. AS is al
most inevitable in this stage of
governmental transition, the political
afiliations of the various possible can
didates for the job crop up in speculation
over their prospects. But politics should
have no part in the selection of a sue
cessor to Mr.. Quesada. The appointment,
related as 1t is to public safety, should
be based solely on special fitness for
the assignment.
Administrator Quesada, who has
headed the Federal Aviation Agency
since its creation in 1858, was chosen not
for political reasons but because he was
exceptionally well qualified to take over
the task Of regulating the Nations air
carriers In the interest of the flying
public. His impending departure to as
sumo his post as head of the new Wash
ington baseball club will be a distinct
loss. To Offset that loss, his successor
should be a man who not only is
thoroughly familiar with aviation prob
lens but who, like Mr.. Quesada, puts
public safety ahead Of all other con-
siderations in tackling those problems.

To the Summit, if

In filmed interview on Italian
televiSion, Prime Minister Macmillan of
Britain has returned once again to one
OF his favorite themes-namely, that it
should be possible to have a fruitful
East-West meeting at the summit. This
time, however, he has been particularly
careful to qualify the statement by
indicating that he would favor such
get-together only 'if there is q
chance OF reaching reasonable nego-
tiated settlements"
The qualification is very much to
the point In view Of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's torpedoing of the Paris
conference last May. Still, Mr.. Mac
milan continues to be doggedly hopeful,
or at least willing to believe that
another climb to the summit conceivably
could lead to good, positive results. AS to
that, he has summed up his feelings in
these words: "Of course, I think the
position OF the West Is quite clear. We
have to maintain our strength, we have
to maintain our unity, but at the same
time we should always be ready to nego-
tiate, to discuss, and to seek-if we
can-solutions for the most pressing
problems" This viewpoint is not much
different, baSically, from that Of Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy, who has made clear
(but with stronger and more numerous
qualifications than Mr.. Macmillan) that
he is not opposed to a new try at sum-
mitry as long as there is some reason
to believe that meeting of minds can
be obtained on either Berlin, outer space
or general disarmament"
In sum, If Mr.. Khrushchev really
wants another heads-of- government
conference, the West will be prepared to
take part in it, but only on the basis of
prior assurances that the Soviet leader
Is ready at long last to negotiate hon
estly. Otherwise it would be foolhardy
for our side to assent to a new meeting
with him.

has adopted. District officials have
looked longingly in this direction before
and consistently have been rebuffed on
Capitol Hill.
The real heart of the problem is
that the District, foreclosed from so
many Of the resources available to other
cities because this is the Nations Capital,
cannot get Congress either to recognize
the true needs of the city or to pay
the Federal Governments fair share of
providing them-a responsibility which
until few decades ago Congress met
without question. The fact that this
argument is repeated so endlessly does
not make it any less true, and until
some formula is developed for a more
adequate Federal payment, we do not
believe there will be permanent solu-
ton to the fiscal plight of the District.

Arlington Wiretops

A special study committee appointed
by the Arlington County Board has
unanimously recommended that Arling-
ton police be authorized to monitor"
phone calls at the request OF subscriber
VINO is the victim Of threats, obscene
calls, etc. This, we think, is right.
Four of the Ave members of the
committee went further. They favor use
OF wiretapS, even without request from
subscriber, in certain types of crimes
such as homicide, rape, gambling, ex-
tortion and bribery" They would sur
round these wiretaps with certain
safeguards to prevent indiscriminate use.
For our part, we agree with the view
OF the dissenting member, Howard w.
Lehman, who represented the Arlington
County Civic Federation on the COM
mittee. Mr.. Lehman would forbid wire
taps In the enumerated cases unless and
until the County Board can be certain of
its ability to enforce adequate limita-
tions and safeguards, including judicial
control through warrant procedure"
1t has long been our view that wire
tapping, under certain conditions, is an
important tool in law enforcement and
that Federal bans on wiretaps or wiretap
evidence play unduly into the hands of
the criminal element. We are not at all
impressed with the counter argument
that wiretapping "is a dirty business"
In sense, Of course, 1t is. But so Is
serious crime. And we hope that Con-
gresS soon will revise the Federal Com
munications Act, under which the
supreme Court restraints have been
imposed. In any case, however, we think
that court order, comparable to a
search warrant, should be obtained be-
fore a phone is tapped without the
knowledge Of subscriber. And we think
this applies with particular force to what
might be called local wiretaps, as in the
case of Arlington County.

To Fortify Christendom

Not since before Henry Wits break
with Rome more than 400 years ago has
there been anything like the meeting
that has just taken place in the Vati-
can between Pope John XIII and the
Most Reverend Geoffrey Francis Fisher,
Archbishop of Canterbury.
AS head of the Church Of England,
the Archbishop represents some 40 mil
lion ProtestantS of the Anglican COM
munion, and the mere fact that he
has called upon the Pope-the supreme
spiritual leader of the worlds 500 mil
lion Roman CatholicS-conStituteS a
history-making event of more than a
little significance. For it holds out at
least the promise that there will be ad-
ditional meetings of the same sort in
the future, and that these will help to
encourage, slowly but surely, a healing
Of many Of Christendom's riffs.
It is true that 73-year-old DR.. Fisher
has declared that he does not know
whether his visit with the Pontiff has
achieved anything specific. Still, while
emphasizing that the occasion was
particular issues, he has pointedly OBJ
served: I'VE have given a good example,
and good examples are often initiated
by Others" Similarly, 79-year-ol Pope
John has struck note of cautious hope
fulnesS. "Of course" he has said, "our
talks went only as far as the threshold
Of great problems. Naturally the crusts
formed during four centuries are many,
bnt with understanding AMI mutual
contacts :. there could cont, love and
the truth''-and reconciliation.
% In connection with all this, 1t is
worth recalling that the PontiR has
eonvoked an Ecumenical Council-an
extraordinary universal Catholic gath
efing Of cardinals, archbishops, bishops
and other high ecclesiastics-that is to
convene in the next year or so. One Of
the prime purposes Of this assembly,
the first of its kind since 1870-will be
to promote unity between Rome and the
separated communities" of Christen-
dom, which is now house divided.
az Considering the immense doctrinal
gulf that still divides Rome and the dis
sident Christian world, such a recon-
eiliation seems to be very long way off.
Nevertheless, taken together with gath
erings like the projected Ecumenical
Council, further meetings of the type
held by the Pope and the Archbishop of
Canterbury can be of immeasurable
value in helping to strengthen Christen-
dom against the implacable forces of
goddess communism.
