Cars and People

Just IS years ago Americans owned
34.5 million motor vehicles. Today we
drive tbs million, more than twice as
many. BY 1915 there will be ia million
cars and trucks on the road, which in
all likelihood will be more than half the
number of men, women and children liv-
ing in the United States by that time.
These statistics, somewhat breath
taking even to population thoroughly
Injured to the motor age, are provided
by the Commerce Department in con-
nection with the Presidents designa-
ton Of National Highway Week between
May 21-27. In citing them, it Is the de-
partment's purpose to call attention, and
rightly so, to the Importance Of the vast
new systems Of roads and superhighways
that will be needed to accommodate
these modern chariots, and to the press
ing job Of building and paying for them
while there yet is time. But in consider
ing these problems, should we not also
ponder the various impacts-for bad as
we'll as for good-which all of this will
have on the fabric Of our daily lives, and
to wonder If there is not more satisfy
ing solution than the nore-cars-more-
roads spiral in which We now are caught2

'Freedmen's IS a DUMB

Approval by House Education sub
committee Of the too-long-neglected
proposal to transfer Freedmen's Hospi-
tai to Howard University is most
gratifying.
Secretary Ribicoff, under whose
jurisdiction the hospital falls, put the
transfer controversy in its true perspec-
tive when he testified that "Freedmen's,
let's put 1t frankly, is a dump. The
Federal Government should be ashamed
to sponsor an institution like Freed
mems today"
This was precisely the conclusion
years ago. But Freedmen's Hospital is
vitality important to the training Of a
great number of Negro doctors. What
could be more natural, as Mr.. Ribicoff
pointed out, than for this institution to
be aligned with Howard? The university
would gain much through the aff1liation
of a decent teaching hospital, and
Freedmen'S of course would reap many
benefits as an adjunct of Howard.
Unfortunately, in the past, the
transfer legislation has begged down
in labor arguments over whether there
would be adequate protection for hospi-
tai employees who now have civil service
status.
However, as Subcommittee Chair
man Green explained, there are two
valid answers to these concerns. The
first is that the advantage Of hospi-
tai treatment, teaching and training
program under the control of Howard
obviously "outweighs any argument that
individuals will lose their civil service
status" And secondly, ample assurances
have been given that employees rights
will be fully protected. Now that this
hurdle has been crossed, Congress should
move promptly to pass the transfer bill.

Blasting the Joint Chiefs

The evil in Senator Cores undocu-
mented attack on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff is that it cannot fail to shake
public confidence in the Nations top
military command.
The Tennessee Democrat thinks
they are bunch of incompetents who
should be replaced. But he does not
say why, although, presumably, his
criticism relates to the role Of the Joint
Chiefs in the Cuban fiaSco. It Is true
that Senator Gore, except possibly for
some implied support from Senator
Case Of South Dakota, stands alone.
Senator Morse, chairman of the investi-
eating subcommittee, has expressed his
confidence in the Joint Chiefs. Other
Senators have made statements to the
same effect. Still, the fact remains that
Senator Gore, after listening to the tes-
timony, saw fit publicly to cast vote
Of no confidence in the JCS-and there
by plant the seed of doubt as to their
thriving plant-or weed-unleSs some
thing is done to counter the effect Of
the Senator's blast.
One possibility would be for the
President, if he diSagreeS with Senator
Gore, to make public statement Of
confidence in the jos. The word from
the White House is that there will be no
comment, however, and information
from the Pentagon suggests that
shakeup may be in the offing.
Another possibility would be to make
public the factS-except for those, If
any, which really involve security. Sen
ator Gore, after sitting in on sup
posedly secret hearing, has publicly
downgraded the qualifications Of the
Joint Chiefs. Why should the American
people be left to wonder and worry as
to whether he is talking through his
hat?
AS things stand, the position Of the
JCS-and the same thing. goes for the
CIA-promises to become untenable.
Earlier, Senator Fulbright said that the
mistakes of the Cuban fiasco were
collective responsibility" The Presi-
dent has said much the same thing. But
now it looks as though the hunt for a
scapegoat is under way. We think the
confusion, contrived or otherwise, can
be and should be cleared away.

How to Handle Castro

The Cuban fiasco seems to
be growing worse daily. This
calls for a bold dynamic for
eign policy with extreme
fleXibility.
In order to show our good
faith, we might release a few
more Soviet spies and then
attempt to secure Castro's
good will with a few billions
in foreign aid. We could al
ways restore our prestige in
the United Nations by voting
to condemn Portugal, Bel
gium or the Dominican Re-
public.
Failing that, perhaps we
could frighten the bearded
wunderkind with more brave
Harvard rhetoric Of the New
Frontier" variety.
Better yet, President Ken
nedy could suspend a few
more OF our anti Communist
generals and then threaten
the egomaniac with the
Peace Corps.

Spoce-Rodio Contest

The award to the Radio Corporation
Of America Of contract for develop
ment Of a radio-Satellite communica-
tions system opens the way for contest
among titans of the industry for pio-
neering in the Ittle-explored area Of
space communications. The American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
already is planning privately financed
radio satellite program. NASA hopes
that Federal and private researches and
development eventually will lead to
adoption Of a Government-licenSe
system of worldwide televiSion and
telephone services.
Although AT&T was among seven
bidders for the NASA project Relay"
contract, officials said the award was
made to RCA because 1t proposed the
best and broadest system from techni-
cal ndpoint-although millions in
Federal funds will be required to carry
out the experimentation. It was ex-
planned that while AT&zT is planning to
spend $25 million Of its own money in
its satellite researches, NASA proposes
a broader program Of experimentation
and development, aimed at meeting the
widest possible public needs. 1t said
that RCA's proposal best complied with
this requirement. The Government is
prepared to spend $3.25 million for
development of the satellite itself, plus
additional millions for putting 1t into
orbit and monitoring its signals.
:, The satellite would differ from the
orbiting Echo balloon in that, instead
Of bouncing radio waves back to earth,
it would receive, amplify and relay
through its own broadcasting facilities
the messages sent to it from the earth.
Such an orbiting relay system could
transmit television or telephone signals
to all parts Of the globe. The system
thus would be of value both COM
mercially and as national defense
Communication arm.
Il Government officials hope that even
tually RCA, AT&sT and perhaps other
industry leaders may join in sponsoring
q satellite relay program that would be
licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission to build and operate per-
manent orbital communications setup.
That would be far in the future, however.
