In Lyndon's S Hands

1t is fitting that the Presidents
Committee on Government Contracts
has chosen this particular time to sum
up its seven years of experience under
the Eisenhower administration, and to
make a number of quite drastic pro-
.posals for increasing its authority.
x Currently, the committees function
as an ti-diScrimination watchdog
extends only to the employment prac-
tices Of companies involved in Federal
contracts AS future step, the COM
.mittee suggests that this scope be
'broadened to cover companies involved
in State or local programs to which the
Government contributes money, to
grant-in-aid programs of various kinds,
and to housing programs involving
Federal subsidy. Secondly, the commit
tee feels, 1t should be given statutory
authority by Congress in order to deal
more directly and forcefully with dis
criminatory employment practices.
Politically, the prospects for the
!, latter suggestion are virtually non
existent. Similar proposals by Mr.
! Eisenhower all have gone to hasty
graves on Capitol Hill, the most recent
during debate on the 1860 civil rights
bill, when the committee proposal was
one Of several provisions sacrificed on
the Senate floor in order to assure pas
7 sage of the remainder. Rightly or
wrongly, Southerners view the commit
! tee as form of F. E. p c., and no amount
! of persuasion is likely to lead them to
vote to expand its powers.
: Since the committee is an executive
: agency. the possibility Of White House
q action toward its expansion IS another
: matter. Mr.. Kennedy several times has
urged strengthening OF the committee,
and in naming Lyndon Johnson as its
new chairman, he expressed confidence
that his running mate would pursue
the problem with alacrity. The extent
to which Mr.. johnson will agree with
the views of the outgoing committee
members, however, remains to be seen.

Soft for Rocketeers

The Maryland General Assembly
will receive evidence at its current ses-
sion that racketeerS regard the States
lack Of control over savings and loan
associations as an invitation to set up
f1y-by-night businesses on a free-for-
all basis. Studies by legislative groups
have shown that the influx Of unethical
operators has been steadily increasing,
as result of State inaction with respect
to regulatory legislation. This is chal-
lenge that should be met at this session
by adoption Of effective laws to rid
Maryland's legitimate and honest saw
ings and loan industry Of the blight Of
fraudulent self-styled "f1nanciers" who
have muscled in on an important in
vestment field.
The 1860 Legislature attempted to
establish controls in a bill passed by
both houses, but Governor Tawes vetoed
it on the ground that 1t was so broad
as to hurt a number of honest firms,
including Baltimore's unique "neighbor-
hood associations" The latter are small
companies, often associated with partic-
ular groups Of residents, that offer aid
and encouragement to small home
builders. A Tawes commission, headed
by Baltimore Attorney Richard w. Case,
will propose legislation designed to hit
the fly-by -nighters without affecting
operations of the "neighborhoods." The
Case group is expected to urge State
regulation of all associations, with
requirement for periodic financial re-
ports to show investors what Is being
done with their money. Under the
present system firm can hide its f1nan-
cial operations behind screen of secre-
cy. A second study group, headed by
Delegate Joseph D. Tydings Of Hartford
County, will seek to impose require
ment for insured savings on all of the
associations. Although most Of the
larger associations are regulated and
insured under Federal laws, there are
many others which carry no insurance
on deposits, or which carry insurance
Of dubious worth.
It is not surprising that the we'll
managed associations, through their
organizations, are strongly supporting
control legislation. So are organizations
dedicated to protecting the investing
public from undue risk and outright CHI
canery. 1t has been estimated that
thousands of small investors already
have been mulcted of their life savings
by the racketeerS. 1t Is too late to do
anything for them, but it is not too late
to save others from being victimized.

Autocrotic Detroit

Auto Industry displaying all

statements to the P. U. c. that he ia a
regular transit commuter, and Mr.. Beb-
chick had submitted similar aff1davit
to the District Court. These documents,
as the Court of Appeals said in effect,
should have satisfied the requirements
of both the law and common sense On
this narrow point.
We do not know whether there is
any merit to the suit, which raises some
10 protests against the P. U. c. action.
Perhaps there is not. But the right of
citizens to contest such governmental
actions in the courts is amply provided
by law, and it is not one which should
be brushed lightly aside on picayune
technicalities.

To Insure Good Judqes

Those who are concerned with i'm
proving the administration Of justice
will be gratified to learn that Robert
Kennedy, when he becomes Attorney
General, will continue Attorney General
Rogers policy Of seeking the advice of
the bar in selecting new Federal judges.
The policy has worked out well, helping
the Department of Justice to find men
qualified for the bench and thus
strengthening public confidence in the
courts.
Prior to the Eisenhower adminiStra-
tion the advice of bar associations was
not sought and sometimes, when sug-
geStionS were volunteered, the bar rec
concentrations were completely ignored.
Not surprisingly, some of the appoint
ments turned sour. Mr. Rogers, however,
welcomed the aid of the American Bar
Association and the District Bar Associ-
alton in choosing bench nominees. He
not only considered candidates pro-
posed by the bar but submitted lists Of
other prospective nominees for bar
association checking and report. The
record Of local appointments shows
that no judge not approved by the bar
was appointed to any of the courts here
during the past eight years.
The Attorney General-designate
disclosed his intention of continuing
the consultation practice, after con-
ference in New York City with Whitney
North Seymour, presidenTof the Ameri-
can Bar Association, and Bernard Segal,
chairman of the ABA Committee on the
Federal Judiciary. 1--WE are going to
have working relationship" Mr. Ken
nedy is quoted as stating after the con-
ference. If carried out as faithfully as
in the past, the policy will insure the
elevation to the Federal bench Of judges
picked primarily for their fitness, with
politics subordinate consideration.

Needed Tax Reform

At this time of keen interest in
governmental action which might
stimulate economic growth, the Treas
ury Department has available an infor-
NATIVE cross-section of business opinion
on the current impact Of tax-deprecia-
ton allowances and the possibilities Of
constructive reform-either by statute
or by regulation-in this area. The
information is contained in approx
mately $500 answers to department
queStionnaires sent out last summer,
both to large corporations and small
business firms. Additional answers are
expected and all the material is subject
to further analysis before specific recon-
mendationS are made by the department.
Among the large concerns particu-
larly, accounting for more than $780,
billion worth of depreciable property,
there was heavy response that the
alternative methods currently per-
mitted for estimating depreciation
allowances are unsatisfactory. For the
most part, their objections centered on
two points, namely, insufficient allowance
during the early years Of service Of
plant or equipment and inadequate
total allowance to cover the rising costs
of replacement. Other studies have
provided support for these same COM
plants. The great and rapid techno-
logical developments Of the postwar
period, for example, have quickened the
pace Of obsolescence. At the same time,
compensating modernization carries a
price tag that has moved steadily and
sharply higher.
Not surprisingly, among eight
alternatives on which the Treasury asked
for reaction, the solution favored by
most companies, large and small, was to
permit the exercise Of their own judg-
ment In calculating the useful life Of
equipment and how much of its cost
should be written off each year. In
exchange for greater flexibility in this
respect, most respondents indicated
willingness to pay higher tax rate on
the sale Of old equipment-treating such
proceeds as income, for example, rather
than capital gain. The second most
popular choice was some form Of
depreciation adjustment to reflect
increased replacement costs.
Suggestions for liberalization Of
depreciation allowances inevitably be-
come subject to political considerations
as well as economic ones. During his
campaign, Senator Kennedy indicated
an interest in some changes in deprecia-
ton rules but did not spell out his
specific views. It is generally argued,
however, that capital investment would
be stimulated by liberalization in some
degree and that the end effect would
be expanded employment and higher
net tax revenues. The subject is one that
the incoming administration and the
new Congress should consider carefully.

Riqht to Object

In ordering the District Court to
hear a citizens suit against the scent
bus fare increase approved by the
District Public Utilities Commission
last summer, the Court of Appeals has
upheld right of more than passing
Importance and one which too seldom
is exercised.
The suit, which was brought by two
Washingtonians, Leonard N. Bebchick
and Leonard S. Goodman, was thrown
out of the lower court solely on grounds
that the formal court record did not
clearly show they were "riders Of transit
vehicles" who were affected by the fare
raise.

Oppose office Tax

AS members Of the Board
Of Trade and as owners Of a
business which has operated
in the District for the past
l3 years. we protest strongly
the newest recommendation
Of the District Democratic
Central Committees Fiscal
Advisory Board-namely q 10
per cent tax on office oc-
cupancy and on parking.
We have no quarrel with
the proposed parking tax,
though it would seem this
would contribute further to
the death" Of downtown
business. We do protest
strongly the office occupancy
tax as being unfair and a
double taxation on the many
businesses which pay a per-
sonal property and an in
come or unincorporated busi-
ness tax to the District. Un-
less there Is some provision
for taxing only those offices
which do not pay the prop
erty and income taxes, we
feel this is not an equitable
tax distribution.
We urge that another look
be taken at the discrimina-
tory status of lawyers. doc
tors. ETC.. who go "tax-free"
under the present structure
while owners Of unincorpo-
rated businesses get a tax
free salary" allowance that
in most cases would not pay
for a clerk. People who OPP
crate a business in the Dis
trict Of Columbia and live In
the suburbs already pay two
income taxes at the local
level. Do we have to be fur
ther penalized because the
Federal Government will moi
meet its obligations in the

StorIings Take Over

Numerous suggestions via
TV, radio and the press have
encouraged people to feed
and water birds. especially
during heavy SHOWS when
food is not readily accessible
to them. About q month ago
I bought a feeding box and
10 pounds Of bird food and
Immediately started feeding
our feathered friends. I was
simply amazed to see so
many lovely birds, some of
which I have never seen be-
fore. There were blue jays,
bluebirds. cardinals, sparrows,
wrens and many others. I
took great pride in showing
my friends all the contented
birds in my back yard; I felt
like I was doing something
good for the community.
Then 1t happened. About
two weeks ago the starlings
started to come, Just four or
five at first. Now they come
in f1ocks. as many as so or
SO. They have run all the
song birds away and have
taken over the feeding post
completely. I have given up
all hope Of feeding any other
birds except starlings, so I
have quit.
Having read the stories
about starlinss cluttering up
the downtown buildings and
inaugural accommoda dations,
I wondered just what was
going to be done. I am sure
the spray they are using Is
working because most of the
starlings are in the suburbs.
I appreciate the desires of
our downtown friends in
wanting to get rid Of these
pests but I don't see how
they are helping the COM
munity by making them
change their roost to a diff
ferent part Of town. Some
thing should be done soon
to rid our city Of not only
the starlings but the filthy
pigeons which clutter up our
beautiful parks and recrea-
tion areas. Then maybe we
can again see some fine song
birds return. Birds yes,
feathered scavengers-no!

Biologists Explore C|ipperton Islands

striking pioneer nature. Few
stable plant communities can
be recognized and the flora
consists entirely of pioneer
species and weeds. Prior to
our visit only five species Of
higher plants had been re-
corded. A few more could be
recognized from casual men,
tion in published descrip-
tions of the atoll and speci-
mems Of is species had been
received from visitors to the
island. To this record, nine
new records Of higher plants
have been added. and at
least three moses, a lichen,
several fungi and an unde-
termined number Of algae.
IAN effort was made to
survey the surface features
and soils Of the island and
to establish some correlation
between these and vegeta-
ton. The soil and rock
samples will have to be
analyzed before any very
general conclusions can be
drawn"
Tiger Beetles Found
Several orders Of insects
were collected for the first
time on the island, according
to DR.. Charles F. HARRISON
of the San Diego Natural
History Museum and the
Scripps party. 1--WE arrived"
he reports, during the wet
season and had to collect be-
tween showers. Some Of the
collecting was accomplished
during a downpour when it
was possible to collect adult
tiger beetles. These would not
leave their stretch Of sandy
beach. AS the collector
walked along the shore
sweeping his net back and
forth the beetles would take
to flight and thus were
caught. The entomologists
turned over rocks. logs and
other litter to collect cent?
pedes, isopods and land
crabs. One of the choice COL
lecting spots was the Coco
nut in its husk, as found on
the ground in the shade Of
palms. These, If the husk at
the stem end had started to
rot, contained many in
teresting invertebrates"
The number of identified
bird forms known on the
island previously was doubled
by this expedition. according
to DR.. Kenneth E. Stager Of
the Los Angeles County Mu-
scum. Attention was given to
the serious probation problem
for nesting birds which rose
from the number Of wild pigs.
These were killed off and
perhaps eliminated entirely
by expedition members.

has Just been explored by an
expedition Of the Scripps In
stitution Of Oceanography Of
the University Of California.
One member Of the party
was a Washington woman
biologist. Miss Marie-H Helene
Sachet Of the Pacific Science
Board of the National Acad-
emy Of Sciences. She was.
so far as known, the only
woman Of French origin who
ever has set foot on this
lonely spot. She remained
there collecting plant, rock
and soil specimens for 18
days.
Miss Sachet has published
a historical account Of Clip
perton in the French Gathers
du Pacifique Of Paris and
has deposited her collections
in the United States National
Museum and the Museum
National d'Histoire Naturelle
in France.
Covered by Vegetation
The Scripps party was
made up Of 13 members who
thoroughly secured the iso-
lated island for invertebrates,
fishes. insects, plants and
birds.
Despite earlier descrip-
tions." Miss Sachet says, "the
island has an almost con-
tinuous vegetation cover.
Some Of the older gravel and
boulder ridges, some areas of
exposed rock and the places
that recently have been
secured by ocean waves and
are overlain by sand and
gravel are the only large
areas devoid Of vegetation.
The areas secured by waves
are being eolonized by plants
from adjacent surviving vege-
tation patches.
THE cover is uneven in
density. In places much of
the ground is exposed while
in others the cover is COM
plete. The general height of
the cover varies from a few
centimeters to a few deci-
meters. with scattered, denser,
slightly taller clumps Of
scrubby plants and small
groups Of coconut palms.
THE most obvious char
acter OF the vegetation Is its
