Pook's Hill Inposse

Two recent events have focused renewed attention
on the urgent need for governmental action to solve
the highway impasse facing Montgomery County mo-
florists.
The first was the meeting of National Capital
transportation Agency officials with the Montgomery
County Planning Board at which the former admitted
they had no plans to lift the freeze on the construction
OF highways to link Montgomery County with the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The second was the announced intention of Wood
ward Lothrop representatives to build an UNDER
ground garage in the path of the controversial Wscon
sin ave. corridor
This corridor is the only. practical method of ex-
tending Route 70-S on direct line into Washington
from its present dead-end at Pooks Hill. The Park and
Planning Commission has made study showing that
1t can be built without excessive property destruction
and has made every effort to preserve the rghts-of
way
The State Roads Commission has agreed that the
route is feasible but has failed to heed the planning
agencys plea for funds to acquire crucial areas along
the rights-ofway One of these areas is the site of
the Woodward & Lothrop parking garage. In the
meantime the District of Columbia has permitted the
erection of buildings which threaten the continuation
of the corridor into Washington
This is an intolerable situation. Montgomery is
the only county in the Washington Metropolitan Area
without hgh-speed highway entering the Nations
Capital Thousands Of local motorists must use traffic
cogged inadequate roads to get and from work with
no hope of relief in the foreseeabIe future
The National Capital Transportation Agency has
agreed that it viii take years before any mass transit
facilities are built in this areaIF the Congress pro-
vdes funds. The State Roads Commission purs,,es a
policy of delay and hesitation And all the while por
tons of the rghtsofway for the only possible route
into Washington being gobbed UP by private con-
struction
The Park and Planning Commission has done a
tremendous job in preserving the rights-ofway But it
cannot do the job alone. 1t must have the support of
the State Roads Commission IN x,hor
building is imminent. If the State refuses to act the
County Council should appropriate the necessary
funds and then seek repayment from the Roads agen-
cy through appropriate legislation in the General AS
sembly.
There will always be opposition to any highway
no matter where is to be located But the opposition
of few cannot be permitted to block the desires and
convenience OF the many. And in this case the needs
of the vast majority of Montgomery County residents
are paramount

stress of having to describe things as they
occurred
And that is a good example of eyewit-
Messing
1t comes to us that the moral is some
thing like this: Eyewitnesses shouldn't be dog
matte about what they see at any time
For, as the man has said things often
aren't what they seem.
We can arrive at some pretty startling
conclusions through using our faculties, which
are definitely limited, and because the circum-
stances themselves color our interpretations
of what we have witnessed.
And we should be prepared to cover our
limitations, as one sports announcer-prob-
ably Bill Stern-did some years ago in the
bright days of Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis
at the U. S. Military Academy.
The announcer, UNDERSTANDABLE excited at
the great pair, saw what he thought was
Blanchard bursting into the clear from a
scrimmage play.
Hes down to the 40, the 30. the 20. ="
And then he realized that Davis, not
Blanchard was carrying the ball and would
score the touchdown.
Nov he laterals off to Glenn Davis, who
goes over untouched"
Thus. we should always view the words
of other with slight amount of sceptcism,
until verification; and your own the same way.
Unless you've got somebody you can

A Few Words
Seeing Is Observation-Disclosures

We watched the All Stars battle the Phil
adelphia Eagles on television the other night,
and learned how little eyewitnesses on the
scene knew about what was going on.
There's moral in the thing somewhere,
and If you'll come along, well explore it
little bit
The announcers were sitting up in the
press box, which at Soldiers Field--as at many
other stadiums we won't show our erudition
by calling them stadia) across the country-is
high, high above the field where the boys
were setting to.
The descriptions of what was going on
and the TV pictures of what was going on
were so often at variance that it made a
viewer wonder what the matter was
Could it have been somewhat foggy fol-
lowing re-game rain? Could the minds of
the announcers have been somewhat foggy Of
themselves?
When the ball once dropped dead on the
courtyard line for example, the announcer
told us it had bounced into the end zone and
back out again. No such thing. Granted the
goal line is at the extreme end of the field,
it couldn't be that far away.
There were other examples of the same
type of reporting.
This, however, is no criticism of that re-
porting Because the announcers were call.
ing things as they saw them it just hap
pened that viewers could see things a little
better and were not under the on-the-spot

About Face Too Late

Gov j. Willard Tawes is grasping at straws in con-
tnung his desperate efforts to retain his fastslpping
hold on the State House.
His latest move has been to pledge support of re-
apportionment legislation in the 1862 session of the
General Assembly The Governor deplored the pres
ent system of appOroning seats in the Legislature
which results in serious for resi-
dents of Montgomery, Prince Georges, Anne Arundel
and Baltimore Counties.
He spoke of the need for truly representative gov
eminent and promised to fight to break the grasp
of rural sparsely populated counties Maryands leg
islative machinery.
All of this sounds very good Ordinarily, it should
be enough to assure the Governor Of the solid sup
port he needs from thinking independent voters to as
sure his denomination and reelection next year.
The same voters will be pardoned however, if they
take the Governors words with ton of salt For this
is familiar Tawes refrain. He has made the same
pious, high-sounding statements before and has
promptly failed to suit the action to the words And
members of the Legislature have just as promptly
taken advantage Of his lack of vgor and leadership to
do nothing about reapportonment.
There is question of the injustice of the present
system under which the States four largest counties
have as per cent of the population but only 16 per
of the seats in the General Assembly In fact Mary
land is of the worst states in the country as far
as equitable representation in its Legislature is
cerned
The Governor knows this. His own study group
the Walsh Commission has reported this outrageous
situation. But the commissions recommendations for
cure were far from adequate. And when thousands
of voters signed petitions urging legislation that would
really bring Maryland out of the dark ages, the Gov
errors only comment was that it was impractical
Impractical for whom? The voters? Or the machine
politicians whom the Governor apparently fears to
offend.
A courageous leader doesn't hesitate to fight for
what he thinks is right He doesn't label as 'imprac-
ticar' proposal that would eliminate system that
makes mockery of the word, Democracy He doesn't
issue statements and then sit back in his office waiting
for someone else to take the lead
Thirteen year ago, Gov. William Preston Lane pro-
posed sales tax to finance mut-million highway
program increase teacher salaries and improve State
mental hospitals Many Of the legislators cried out in
protest, but offered no suitable alternative
Governor Lane fought for his program, in deed as
well as word He sent his representatives the floor
of the House and Senate. He called recacitrant dele
gates and senators to his office He threatened ca
Joled, persuaded and pleaded And he won The sales
tax went through Today, it is vitality important part
OF the States revenue program.
This is the kind of a Governor the voters of Mary
land need: man of courage and strength, not man
of caution and patitudes Governor Tawes has failed
to show that he has the qualifications to push through
program of real reapportonment. Deeds not words
needed.

SpecioI Education

A recent Sentinel article men,
toned a University of Maryland
workshop experiment being con-
Quoted with Montgomery Coun-
| ty handicapped children. The
idea being that youngsters with
poor muscular coordination, re-
tarded mentality, or emotional
,handicaps, might be helped to
overcome some of their learn
ing problems by "trampoline"
exercise.
Who knows? Many important
discoveries in this field are be-
| ing made every day. And as the
supervisor of special education
Mrs. Miriam Tannhauser en-
phasized, the youngsters would
be individually supervised to
prevent any possibility of acct
dent.
AS an interested parent and
occasional worker with some of
our County handicapped young
sters, l have often thought that
more physical activity in gen.
eral would be helpful. Many of
these children, by reason of
their handicaps, do not have the
same opportunity as others to
participate in the usual physical
activities-o even in neighbor-
hood children's games and ac-
/ tivitieS so dear to the hearts
and important to the health of
all children.
We noticed that the Park
Street Special Group moved in
the direction of a broadened
physical education program last
year. (And incidentally, put on
a wonderful talent show which
parents, teachers and children
all seemed to enjoy wholeheart-
edly)
And speaking of learning"
problems Our Special Edu-
cation. has now been in effect
for about 10 years. The first
graduates will soon be coming
out of school. We wonder then,
if some of the rest of us may
not need to think a bit more
about overcoming some ''han-
dicaps" in understanding.
If these youngsters, like our
other young people, are to have
an opportunity to become self
respecting and self-supporting
members of the community,
perhaps community leaders and
job-suppliers may need to
learn" how important it is that
they, too, be given a chance to
contribute to the growth and
stability of our community.

Wants Teen Feature

Your paper, the Montgom-
cry County Sentinel, is our
only countrywide publication.
1t may be said that it is the
voice of Montgomery County.
1t may also be said that the
paper is a good voice which
speaks well, keeping its read
ers in form e d about such
things which are of interest
to them, the citizens of Mont
gomery County.
There are, in your publica-
uon, columns and features
written about the rural areas,
news of our county govern
ment news from Capitol Hill,
and countless other items
which set us apart somewhat
from the vast metropolitan
suburban area in which we are
engulfed. However, there
seems to be missing one thing
OF Importance. There is no
feature anywhere in the paper
that deals with the youth of
Montgomery County the
teen-age community, to be pre-
else.
In my opinion, the young
persons of our area merit
some regular feature of their
own, a column for teen,agers.
written by teen-ager in col
laboration with an adult adj
wiser who is qualified for this
type of task. Something of
this nature could be used to
promote activities of interest
to youth, to express their
opinions, to express to them
the opinions of others. and
perhaps to increase in their
minds their duty to society,
and to remind society of its
duty to them.
Such a feature - a voice
OF youth - would not only be
OF benefit to those in quest of
maturity, but also to those
who seek to retain it, all of
which would make Montgom-
cry County a better place in
which to live for the citizens
of today, the youth of today,
who are the citizens of to
morrow.

Financial Gossip

NEW YORK (UPD-The men
whose job it is to keep the ma
tons trunk air lines in the
black are looking to the motor
ist for a good chunk of their
future market, Stuart G. Tip
ton believes.
Upton, 80, balding, blue-eyed,
Indiana-born lawyer, has been
president of the Air Transport
Association of America, since
1855. Among the numerous con-
Germs of his office is the balance
sheets and return to stockhold-
ers which the domestic trunk
airliners show each year.
This is so, Upton said on a
trip to New York, because the
air lines must remain financial
ly healthy to do their job.
Basic Equipment Changes
He told a congressional COM
mittee in May, and will tell any
one who wants to talk about it,
that the earnings of the trunk
lines, the big ones flying be-
tween major centers of popula-
ton, are substandard. In 1860,
his figures said, they realized a
net profit after taxes of ST..
18S,000-a profit margin, he said,
of barely six one-hundredths of
one per cent on gross revenues
of almost 81 billion.
The major air lines have gone
through -four basic equipment
changes since 1946-47," Upton
said, with attendant rises in
costs for new planes, retirement
of old, and training of crews.
To keep the revenues and pas
senger-mile figures rising, they
