Commissions Park Policemen
Must Perform Varied Duties

Policing the sprawling 5000
acre park system in suburban
Montgomery County is no pic
mic for the small but highly eff
ficient park police force OF The
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Finding lost children, settling
disputes between rivals over
the use of choice picnic sites,
arbitrating grievances between
opposing ball teams and serving
as walking information alma
macs is all part of the job.
1--WE expect our men to main
tain the aplomb of the big-hotel
maitre D. in all situations and
they rarely disappoint us"
Park Director John P. Hewitt
explains. But occasionally, he
adds, a situation arises in which
poise and dignity are lost.
Such an incident occurred
two years ago when a monkey
outmaneuvered a park police
man for nearly an hour before
being captured. A pet, the mon
key had slipped his leash and
was creating pandemonium in
the park bordering Sligo Creek
Parkway with his aerial aero
battles through the trees. The
imp was captured only after
being flushed from the woods
into an open field.

Organized eight years ago,
when vandalism and abuse of
park areas began to emerge as
major problems for the Com
mission, the original two-man
force has grown to seven.
1--WE often refer to the park
policemen as our good will am
bassadors," Hewitt says. I'm
addition to the excellent results
they have achieved in reducing
vandalism, they have made sub
stantial contributions to public
understanding of the need for
conservation of park areas"
Although their major assign
ment is to assist the public in
getting the fullest use and en-
joyment of park facilities, they
can be as tough as the situation
requires. They train in local po-
lice department schools and
also attend Police Institute
courses at the University of
Maryland.
Thus equipped, the park
force is capable of handling the
major as well as the less seri-
Gus problems of law enforce
ment which crop up during
their 400 miles of travel in a
working day.
Since the park system is scat
tered throughout a 120-square
mile area of the county, the
small force must rely heavily

on radio equipped cruisers to
do an effective job. Their ra-
dos are beamed to the county
police department transmitter
and trouble calls are relayed to
them by the county dispatcher.
A mutual aid system has long
been in effect under which the
two departments assist each
other when necessary.
Working with children is one
of the strong points of the Park
Police Force. Winning the con-
fidence of youngsters who, in
the exurberance of youth might
be tempeted to work off excess
energies in destructive ways,
takes patience and, occasionally
cash.
An example is cited by two
officers who were working a
"stake-out' in park area
where vandalism had become a
serious problem. Neighborhood
youngsters soon discovered
their mission and turned the
stake-out into an impromptu
question and answer program.
When the ice-cream truck
pulled up on a road adjoining
the park, the two officers found
themselves treating their new
won friends to a round of snow
balls. Since that day, there has
not been a vandalism problem
in that particular park area.

Middle East:
Poor Prospects

United Nations Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold
told a U. N. news conference
that the situation in the Middle
East was "deteriorating."
The astute Swedish diplomat
who serves as the executive head
of the United Nations is usually
an optimist in public. When he
cannot say anything hopeful
about a situation, he customarily
says nothing at all. But last week
he was being frankly pessimistic
as to the situation in the seeth-
ing, troubled Middle East.
For more than a year, EMPLOY
ing his demonstrably effective
talents for inducing immovable
objects to move after all. Mr..
Hammarskjold has been attempt
ing to convince Canal Abdel Mas
ser that the United Arab Repub-
lie should quit its ban on Israeli
shipping and cargoes in the ma
tlonalized Suez Canal. This time,
despite some moments of SEEM
ing success. he has failed.
Diplomatically, Mr.. Hammar-
skiold did not mention Col. Mas
ser. But he said I'VE are falling
back to a position where we have
been before and from which 1
thought and hoped that we had
departed" The entire Middle East
situation, he warned, was de
teriorating" and he added that,
although there were many things
ne could do personally that the
security Council could not. the
reverse also was true. In effect,
the Secretary General seemed to
be suggesting that the situation
mad reached the point where the
security Council should take over.
In Cairo, President Nasser said
wednesday that the UAR would
never allow" Israeli ships or Is
raen cargo to go through the
Suez Canal. Under the terms Of
an agreement Mr.. Hammar-
skiold thought he had achieved
last fall, the UAR was to allow
Israeli cargoes through the water
way in shipping under non-Israen
registry. But the agreement has
never been observed.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
Progress on Civil Rights

The Senate last week opened
debate on civil rights as South
erners began all-out opposition
to any new legislation. The
House Rules Committee lifted
Its blockade Of q moderate
rights measure and cleared IL
for floor debate beginning
around March 10.
Since World War II, there has
been q steady progress in the
breaking down of racial discrim-
ination in many parts Of the
country, including the South,
where traditions barred 1t.
Job opportunities have been
improved for Negroes; school in
tegration increases year by year;
and such indignities as having to
ride Tor standD in the segregated
rear Of the bus, or being barred
from restaurants, theaters and
hotels, while far from being
totally eliminated, are gradually
disappearing in many areas.
BY general agreement, however.
little recent progress has been
made on guaranteeing one key
constitutional right, which still

sons because of their color. This

Debate March 10

Fifteen hours, which can
stretch into days if various par
llamentary tactics, such as time
consuming quorum calls, are en-
ployed, was set for debate, begin
ming probably on March 10. Then
amendments may be offered from
the floor.
Representative McCulloch, an
Ohio Republican, has key
amendment to propose. 1t will
embrace Attorney General Rog-
ers' revised draft of his plan for
Federal court-appointed referees
to guard the registration and vot-
ing rights of Negroes.
There had been some appre-
hension on the part of the liber-
ais in Congress that the original
version might involve long. and
discouraging. proceedings before a
Negro complainant would be al
lowed to vote.
The new plan, which was re-
vealed by Mr.. Rogers on Thurs
day, makes it clear that the Negro
would not have to do any more to
show his voting qualifications
than a white person is required to
do before State registrars. Now

Air Force:
Bad Writinq

The National Council of
Churches last week denounced
an Air Force manual which
linked Communists and fellow
travellers to the clergy. The
Pentagon withdrew the publica-
tiOn and ordered broad inquiry
into all service manuals. Con-
gressiOnal groups also scheduled
inquiries.
The youngest of the armed
services at l3, the Air Force has
been acting its age again. In the
last few months it demonstrated
its immaturity with a Big
Brother" order put out by a Stra-
tegic Air Command general for
his non-commissioned officers to
keep an eye on the activities of
airmen of duty as we'll as on.
This was followed by the disclo-
sure of a manual instructing en-
listed men in the fine points Of
washing an officers dog.
Last week, however, it outdid
itself and the uproar was deaf
ening.
The object of the new howls Of
criticism was a training manual
for reserves which: Cd Linked
c m m unists to certain"
churches; (2( called foolish" the
idea that the American people
have a right to know what's 60
ing on; 80 urged reservists to
watch for suspicious activities,
actual or implied" and report
them to the air police no matter
how trivial they seem," and a.
told its men to be especially
watchful for persons who are try
ing to undermine the Air Force
by belittling or sneering at its
policies and accomplishments"
The National Council of
Churches blew the whistle on the
controversial manual. which i'm
piled that this organization which
claims to represent 38 million
Protestants was influenced by
pro-Communists when it pre-
pared its Revised Standard Version
of the Bible.
The council denounced what it
called the Air Forces "messianic
mission" and demanded action by
the Pentagon. 1t got it. Defense
