JUST PRACTICE
Sometimes If the fish were
biting well on minnows he
would tie on a surface plug and
practice casting, shooting the
lure into little coves and points
all around our boat instead Of
continuing catching fish as I
did, or tried to do until he
talked me into joining him in a
practice session.
"Why bother with all those
little crappies," he'd say. 1--WE
need practice so when the bass
start hitting we'll be ready
for them"
Just in the last couple Of
years have 1 begun to realize
just what kind of a fisherman
he really is. He doesn't go for
competition, he refuses to make
work out of his fishin' and he
just will not drag home a trunk
full of fish. He'll quit fishing
first.
Norm Is probably the best
kind Of fisherman. He Just goes
to enjoy himself.

and number of other places.
Under the present system about 100
detectives in the precincts are under
Jurisdiction not of Detective Chief E. E.
Scott but of the various precinct COM
manders. Chief Scott says that this
division of responsibility between the
140 headquarters detectives and the
precinct plain-clothes men has resulted
at times in duplication of effort, conflict
and confusion.
The new plan gives Chief Scott
jurisdiction over all detectives on the
force, except for one or two in each
precinct assigned to investigations not
of general scope. Thus, in an emergency
requiring concentration of many detec-
tiveS on one crime or series of related
crimes, precinct men could be ordered
into action without any conflict of
authority or red tape. And there is no
place for conflict of authority or red
tape in the investigation of crime or
the pursuit of criminals.

Traffic Director

Perhaps it would be best
if plans for widening Shirley
highway and building a
bridge at Three Sisters were
abandoned.
To carry out these projects
would mean easier access of
more private autos into a
city already overcrowded with
them.
AS a constructive alterna-
tive, 1 suggest that a toll of
81 be charged the driver of
each private auto entering
D. c. between the hours of
$50 and $50 am. This
would reduce the auto con-
gestion in Washington and,
due to popular demand,
would greatly improve public
transportation.
Private cars in D. C. are
an inconvenience and a men
ace. Witness the great snow
of last winter when cars
were abandoned because of
weak batteries or lack of gas.
Had it not been for these
distractions the buses could
have gotten through with
out so much delay. The
menace lies in the fact that
in the event of an atomic at
tack the intense heat would
cause explosion of the gas
tanks of the autos, greatly
increasing fire destruction.

vulnerability to attack Of any
kind-let alone the posSibili-
ty of total nuclear destruc-
ton - demands a painful

had to make.
Beyond this it is also cer-
tainly true that the average

sense of personal or even ma
tional responsibility in fac
ing up to the present threat.
The Berliners may be the
ones most Immediately af-
fected by what happens.
Frances President de Gaulle
may talk the toughest about
what the allies should do.
Where Decisions Rise
Both Germans and French
men are well aware, how
ever. that the real decisions
in this crisis will be made in
Washington and Berlin.
While their stake in the out
come may be no less the is
sue of peace or war has not
been a subject of public de-
bate among the political
leaders and in the press. In
France, particularly, domes-
tic political troubles seem far
more real and immediate
than the possibility of a nu-
clear war.
Admitting these obvious
differences, it is still not
easy to explain why the al
ternatives in Berlin seem so
much less appalling in Eu-
rope than they do at home.
The visitor can hardly es-
cape an impression of delib-
crate effort by the Govern
ment and a large part of the
American press to paint these
alternatives as starkly as pos
sible in order to condition
public opinion to the grim
NEST eventualities.
It is also hard to escape
the impression that this con-
ditioning involves certain
dangers as well as advan-
tages. An effort to arouse
public opinion to face the
possibility of war may be nee
cessary to convince Mr..
KhruShchev that we mean
business in Berlin. But to
judge from the present furor,
it also holds risk of creating
a public reaction so strong as
to take the real power of de-
cision over Berlin out of the
Governments hands,

Virqiinio Looks Ahead

Governor Almonds advisory COM
mission on governmental reform has
proposed a series of administrative
changes that would modernize Vir-
ginia'S government in line with ex-
panded public demands for services and
Of accelerated industrial progress. The
need for such reorganization long has
been felt by heads of some departments
and agencies which were designed for
the slower pace and demands of earlier
days, when farming was the most i'm
portant industry and some of today'S
cities were merely towns.
Virginia, however, is undergoing an
industrial revolution and a population
development that has placed heavy
stresses and strains on outmoded public
services and facilities. Machinery,
textile and other factories have moved
into the State in recent years. Scien-
tific and chronological research plants
have sprung up in urban and suburban
areas. More industrial development
would be possible If the State had an
adequate promotional program and
staff, with technical advisers on plant
location, power sources and the like.
1t is natural, therefore, that one of
the outstanding recommendations of
the Governors commission was the
creation of new Department of
Economic Development, charged with
encouraging further industrial progress
in the State. The department would
supersede the present Division of In
duStrial Development in the Department
of Conservation, which, the commission
report said, cannot realize its full
potential in the present setup."
The report also suggested new
Department Of Corrections and Parole,
creation of offices to relieve the Gov
ernor of various administrative details,
consolidation of several divisions in the
Department of Education and numerous
other changes. Governor Almond, per-
haps with an eye to the urgent need for
new sources of revenue, said, however,
that the plan for a Department of
Economic Development deserved "a
pretty high priority" 1t undoubtedly
will receive special attention at the next
session of the General ASsembly-as it
should.

beyond the pale of normally
accepted behavior. 1t is,
therefore, quite conceivable
that those who would alb
solve the criminal and in
dict society are actually con-
tributing to the increase of
crime.
The tragic consequence of
the acceptance of this er-
roneous theory is that it has
done nothing to improve the
orderly administration of
justice, and society has suf-
fered as evidenced by the
increase in crime. Having
failed, it deserves to be re-
jected, so until something
really better comes along
couldn't we try some old
fashioned respect for law?

'ExiIed-For What?

I have been reading your
splendid editorials regarding
Park Police Chief Harold F.
Stewart, especially your last
one, "Exiled-For What?"
I am a lifelong resident of
Washington, D. c., and I can
remember the Park Police
when they were known as
"grasshoppers," a group un-
known except to us children
who played in the parks. To-
day, under the leadership of
Chief Stewart the Park Po-
lice have advanced to one of
the outstanding law enforce
ment units in our Nation.
The mounted troop has re-
ceived many favorable COM
mentS from high officials
and visiting dlgnitarieS.
Why then must this man
be prosecuted because as an
American citizen he re-
queSted his constitutional
rights? If he has done wrong.
why is he not given a fair
trial?
I know that sentence has
been passed on Chief Stewart
by Mr.. Udall, a powerful
cabinet member, and there
will be no stay of execution.
My only hope is that for this
gross injustice inflicted on a
humble man and his family
that Mr.. Udall's conscience
will someday catch up with
him.

Rebellion in Syria

Whatever emergeS from the rebellion
in the Syrian Region of the United
Arab Republic, the uprising itself pro-
videS new evidence that genuine Soli-
darity or even effective federation
within the Arab world is still more a
dream than a reality.
This is not, of course, a condition
unique to ArabiSm in period of world
history when augmentation rather
than consolidation-in Africa most
notably at the moment and in South
Asia within very recent years-is the
prevailing political pattern. 1t is given
emphasis in the Arab community, how
ever, by the fact that the objective of
meaningful unity has been publicly
avowed and pursued in various ways
through most of the years since World
War H. One of the first such efforts
was formation of the Arab League in
1945 but, while this organization has
survived, it has been clique-ridden,
sometimes quarrelSome and often SuS-
picious family within itself
The Egyptian revolution of 1852
rise to authority gave to Arab national
ism its strongest individual champion
and voice that was heard, If not
necessarily needed, in the cause of unity
from the Atlantic coast of North Africa
to the Persian Gulf. The legislative
enactments by which Syria and Egypt
were Joined in 1858 in the U. A. R. spe-
officially identified this wideSpreading
North African Asia Minor expanse of
territory as the Arab FatherIand."
BY itself, however, the Syrian
Egyptian union posed intricate problems
from the beginning. Although public
referendum in the two countries over
whelmingly indorsed the merger, there
are great differences in the populations
and traditions of the two regions In
Syria, particularly, the population mix
ture had been matched by multiplicity
of political parties, and their initial
willingness to accept the one-party rule
of President Nasser's National Union
has been under increasing strain. The
fact that the two regions are separated
geographically has created administra-
tive difficulties. Most recently, the
increased concentration of authority in
Cairo, or in the hands of Egyptian
officials in the Syrian Region, has
aroused resentment in both civilian and
military quarters in Damascus.
At this point, the real depth and
lasting power of the Syrian unrest are
not easily measured. Even If brought
under control, the opposition to Cairo's
policies has come into the open. For
President Nasser and his prestige as the
leader of Arab nationalism, the long
term may demand some other answer
than force.

New Man at CA

The selection of John A. McCone to
take over as director of the Central
Intelligence Agency must reflect desire
on the Presidents part to fill a post of
very great Importance with the best
available man. By no stretch of the
imagination can any trace of partisan
politics be read into this appointment.
1t does not follow that all misgivings
respecting the departure of Allen Dulles
now will fade away. For the Snipers
began to train their fire on him i'm
mediately after the collapse of the
Cuban adventure, and it may be that
they have finally brought down their
man. Without access to all of the details
OF the part played by Mr. Dulles and
the CIA in the Cuban affair, however,
1t is impossible to form a worthwhile
Judgment on this point. If Mr.. Dulles
has been made something of a Scape-
goat, the fact no doubt will be eStab-
hShed sooner or later. Meanwhile, it
should be noted that no such suggestion
appeared in the exchange this week
between the President and Mr.. Dulles.
Mr.. Kennedy was warm in his praise of
Mr.. Dulles, and he implied that the
CIA Director was leaving only because
ne had served out the year that he had
agreed to continue in service If Mr..
Dulles response was on the noncom-
initial side, he at least had no complaint
to offer. At any rate, the amenities
were served and that may have been
the best note on which to sign off, at
least until this whole story becomes
known
Mr.. McCone is a Republican and
was supporter of Mr.. Nixon in last
years campaign. One may be confident
that he accepted the CIA assignment
only in the expectation that politics
would play no part in his delicate and
difficult new assignment. He brings to
the task rich experience in private
industry and in Government, including
his outstanding performance as chair
man of the Atomic Energy Commission
under President Eisenhower. Of course,
he lacks the experience in intelligence
work that Mr.. Dulles had, and this, at
least at the outset, will be handicap.
But Mr.. McCone'S record inspires con-
fidence that he will soon have a firm
grasp on his new responsibilities.

Russell on War

On September % a cor
respondent to The Star de-
picted Bertrand Russell as a
man who saw no danger in
the rise of Hitler and vigor-
ously opposed Britain's en-
trance into World War II"
In the interest of accuracy,
I should like to quote from
Adaptation: An Autobio-
graphical Epitome," by Lord
Russell, published in 1856:
90. when the first World
War broke out, I thought it
was a folly and a crime on
the part of every one of the
powers involved on both
sides. I hoped that England
might remain neutral and,
when this did not happen,
I continued to protest. Mel
ther then nor later did I
think all war wrong. 1t was
that war, not all war, that I
condemned. The con d
World War thought neces-
sary, not because l had
changed my opinions on war,
but because the circum-
stances were different. In
fact all that made the second
war necessary was an out
come of the first war. We
owe to the first war and its
aftermath Russian commu-
nism, Italian fascism and
German naziSm. We owe to
the first war the creation of
a chaotic unstable world
where there is every reason
to fear that the second
World War was not the last,
where there is the vast hor-
ror of Russian communism
to be combatted, where Ger
many, France and what used
to be the Austro- Hungarian
Empire have all fallen lower
in the scale of civilization,
where there is every prospect
of chaos in Asia and Africa,
where the prospect of vast
and horrible carnage inspires
daily and hourly terror. All
these evils have sprung with
the inevitability of Greek
tragedy out of the First
World War"

A high mountain peak that
can be reached only by hell
copter is the latest station
in the Army's search for what
bends radar and light beams.
The station is on Goat
Mountain, near the White
Sands, N. NJ, Missile Range.
The work is being carried out
under a contract with the
University of New Mexico.
For the first time in the
widespread investigation of
radar wave bending, accord
ing to the Army's report, it
will be possible to use a fixed
station at high altitude to
measure the exact relation
ship between radar error and
certain atmospheric condi-
tionS.
On top of Goat Mountain,
As miles from White Sands
and a mile higher, a small
radio receiver -transmitter, or
beacon" bounces back to
the radar under test. Since
the position in space of the
beacon Is known exactly, an
error in the radar scale read
ing can be measured very ac-
curately and correlated with
weather conditions.
$Beam-B Bending Varies
Bending of the radar
beams, according to DR..
Donald C. Thorn, who heads
the project for the University
of New Mexico, is not con-
slant and sometimes varies
rapidly. Weather conditions
such as cold air masses cause
some of this bending. More
undoubtedly results from
dust and moisture in the air.
The ultimate application of
the research accomplished in
this field, it is believed, will
permit exact prediction of
radar paths and exact al
lowance for error before a
radar tracking mission. AS
radars become more precise,
especially in missile work, this
advance calculation is a
vital necessity.

PARIS

PARIS.
It's a small world, but the
speed of travel in the jet age
and the efficiency of modern
communications have not
wiped out the enormous diff
ference in the climate of
public opinion on the oppo-
site sides of the ocean.
For what it may be worth,
the impression of the visitor
to the United States today is
that the country is in the
gltp of the worst psychology
ical crisis of its modern
history. At no time in memory
has the fear of war and it's
consequences so completely
dominated public discussion.
Never have the basic queS-
tions of the possibility of war
and the possibility of sur
vival been debated with such
anguish and passion.
Where realism and wisdom
may lie in this matter is not
for the visitor to say. What
he cannot fail to note, how
ever, is that the current acute
psychosis is almost exclu-
sively American. In Europe,
reading of the present crisis
over Berlin has not led to the
same conclusion of a choice
between the awful alterna-
tives. And with the possible
exception of Britain, public
opinion has not been stirred
to anything approaching the
same pitch of excitement.
This phenomenon is not
entirely new. In wartime, it is
often the case that the ex-
citement and sense of drama
diminished as one approaches
the fighting front. In Berlin
today, the threat raised by
Nikita KhruShchev is visible
and tangible enough. But
when it comes to facing this
threat the average Berliner
seems to have fewer doubts
and fears than, say, the aver
age resident of Washington
or New York.
Other Reasons
There are plenty Of rea-
sons, Of course, that might
explain the large difference
in emotional climate between
Europe and the United States
in the present crisis.
For one thing, this is the
first time in nearly a CEN
tury that the American pub
lie is being forced to face up
seriously to the consequences
OF modern war; While two
world conflicts destroyed
much of Western Europe, the
