THE PASSING SCENE
One-Third of q Growino World
By RALPH McGILL

~ A brief news story notified
us the world population is
now 3 billion.
Roughly one-third of those
3 billion are under commu-
nism; another third are in
the free world, and the final
billion live in what we call
the new nations, the under
developed. the yet-uncom-
mitted.
The future of our soon-to-
be 200 million citizens will
be shaped if, indeed, it does
not depend, upon which way
the uncommitted l billion
goes.
Let all those who blindly
attack and oppose foreign
aid consider the facts. Tech
nology, tools, teachers, will
help. But more is required.
Many of these people are
making what might be called
a leap from the Stone Age
into that Of nuclear energy.
This science is not yet we'll
understood by the more ad-
vanced scientific minds and
nations. A certain sympa-
thetic understanding is re-
quired of us, and a will to
help them avoid replacing
the yoke of colonialism with
the yoke of communism.
1t may be we have come
too fast for sound thinking.
We, too, are making a
great leap.
We are plagued by the
crises Of events and history
There are those who want
us to take short cuts because
OF the presence of great and
awesome dangers.
We are determined to win
the competition with the
Communists for the minds of
men. Yet, in our eagerneSs
to do this we will be unwiSe
to forget why we want to
win.
We earnestly and prayer
fully wish to win because we
profoundly believe our sys-
TEN of government and our
establishment of the state as
the servant, not the master
Of the people, is the best
way Of life. We believe it Of
fers the most contentment,
opportunity, dignity and free
dom Of person and mind. It
is. we are convinced, a system
superior to that of commun-
ism, which rules mans mind,
limits his freedom and makes
him servant Of the state.
1t then follows, as night
the day, We must keep our
country what it is.
We cannot afford to set
up a system Of thought con-
troll, Of tnformers, spies and
character assassins. There

Under these conditions in
tellectual types are espec-
tally prone to sleeplessness,
anxiety and headache.
Severe cases of the same
sort are known as "long
eye". This is the 40-foot
stare in the 10-foot room,
similar to a symptom noted
in Schizophrenia, one of the
worst of mental diseases.
Cracking breath" is
characterized by bad chest
rales and severe chest pains
after breathing cold air. The
condition usually clears up
spontaneously but may be
followed by slight bronchial
irritation.
AcclimatiOn Problem
Another manifestation Of
cold injury to the lungs is
a burning sensation in the
lower chest with an urge to
cough, often accompanied by
pain like that of angina.
Rapid breathing through the
mouth, if it is kept un-
covered, in extreme cold
weather can lead apparently
to freezing of capillaries and
tissues of the most exposed
parts of the lungs. Resulting
deaths have been reported.
Cold acclimation has been
one OF the biggest problems
at the American Antarctic
bases. In sub-freezing tenn
peratures there is a gradual
drying out of tissues. Grad
ually, however, the body
seems to respond with an
influx of fluid into tissues
that acts as an insulation
against cold and one be-
comes accustomed to 40 and
SO below zero.
To maintain physical en-
ergy in the Antarctic daily
consumption of 5000 to 5000
calorieS is required, with a
protein content increased by
SO per cent. This rich diet is
believed to be the cause of
gastroenteritis, second on
the list of ma1adies plaguing
Antarctic visitors.

Leagues Detectives

III Tie current DISCUSSIONS
on congressional redistricting
In Maryland, the Montgomery
County League Of Women
Voters would like to en-
phasize that our interest is
in the basic principles of rep
reSentative government. Our
concern is not with the rep
resentation Of q particular
county, but with the welfare
OF the State as q whole.
Specifically, we are concerned
about Montgomery County
only as it fits into the over
all picture Of equitable repre-
sentation, which the League
feels requires the creation Of
eight congressional districts
that are compact, contiguous,
and Of approximately equal
population.
I would like to re-empha-
size that the League is q nom
partisan organization, dedi-
Gated to the principle Of good
government.

May the Montgom merry
County League of Women
Voters be successful in their
petition to challenge the new
9th Congressional District!
AS a Prince Georgian, I, Of
course, favor the establish
ment Of a separate Congress
sional District for Prince
Georges. Prince Georges is
entitled to this.
But, as a Marylander, I
abhor the manner in which
the redistricting of the Free
State" was accomplished.
The failure of the General
Assembly to give relief to the
populous 9Th and I'd Districts
cannot be excused. It was
not caused by the establish
ment of a separate District
for Prince Georges, but by
the failure of the General
Assembly to give one Of Bal
timore City's three seats to
the suburbs. BY no stretch
OF the imagination is Balti-
more City entitled to three
Congressman.
1t is obvious that the
Democratic Party, whic h
controls the Assembly, feels
1t must cater to the urban
vote in Baltimore, where
machine tactics can guar
antee the Democratic Party

urbanite, who thinks for

Pdrkinq Woes

I read with growing ir-
ritation that the Municipal
Court judges are considering
a proposal to increase the
amount for parking fines
from three to five dollars.
This is a continuation and ex-
tension of the unimaginative
thinking that has helped to
create and perpetuate Wash
ington's parking problems.
Rather than increasing the
penalties for violating un-
realistic and unnecessary
parking regulations, would it
not be in the better interests
Of the driving public to re-
examine the restrictions
which are now in effect to
determine whether or not
they serve any worthwhile
purpose?
Parking restrictions on
many District side streets
and on some of the main
thoroughfares as well, appear
to be entirel:- unnecessary.
The only purposes which they
serve are these:
l. They force persons who
drive to work in the District
to pay parking fees aver
aging SIS a month (add to
this an average of $40 q
month for gasoline). In many
cases, and especially In the
Sout h west redevelopment
area, the parking lots they
must use are located on pub
lie lands rented from the Dis
trict. Had the District Gov
ernment chosen to do so,
these public lands could have
been left untenanted and
been used for free public
parking until construction
was begun. The decision ap-
parently has been made to
rent to parking lot operators
and to prohibit parking In
areas which are not rented.
2. They increase the flow
OF revenue (parking fines) to
the District Government,
thereby making more funds
available to help solve the
critical parking problems. To
date, there has been little
done to use this money ad-
vantageouSly for this purpose
and nothing to suggest that
we may expect improvement
in the near future.
3. They force commuters
to resort to public transpor-
tation facilities which offer
high-priced and unsatisfac-
tory commuter service.
4. I should add that those
who feel that the current
fines are justifiable and that
an increase might be advis-
able contend thas the park
ing regulations are imposed
to facilitate a smooth and
orderly flow of traffic. In
a. great many cases, this argu-
ment does not hold water.
Restrictions have been set
with an apparent lack Of fore
sight and with little relation
to the traffic needs in vari-
GUS parts Of the city. 1t is
my belief that any driver who
regularly commutes to and
from his place of business in
the District during the rush
hours is we'll qualified to
judge the traffic requirements
Of the route he travels
AS a daily commuter I con-
tend that D. C. parking reg
ulations are, for the most
part, constructed to profit
only commercial parking lot
owners and operators of pub
lie transportation facilities,
to the detriment of the mo-
torist. Those who establish
the regulations are frequently
those whose official connec-
tions provide them with an
immunity which does not ap-
ply in the case of the average
citizen.
Instead Of increasing park
ing fines, there should be a
realistic re-evaluation of the
parking regulations now in
force with an eye to provid-
ing more and better parking
facilities In public spaces.

On the highest hill over
looking Wellington, the Byrd
Fellowship Of New Zealand is
erecting a monument to the
late Admiral Richard E.
Byrd.
The city always was a Sec
ond home to the great Ant
arctic explorer, first man to
fly over the bottom Of the
earth and discoverer of many
unique geographical features
Of the great Antarctic ice cap
and Of the Ross and Weddell

He is still to be commemo-

Since his death in Boston a
a few years ago, the hitherto

become literally over-popu-

memory Endangered
The scientific parties, after
all, are just finding new de-
tails of the admiral's dis
coveries. He himself was q
scientist of high merit, but
he combined with this a
spirit of high adventure and
a semi-mystical attitude to-
wards the great unknown.
His memory may be in some
danger of being buried In
mass Of details, valuable as
they are, now coming almost
daily out of the Antarctic
wastes: 1t is this danger
which has impelled the New
Zealand fellowship to act.
The erection of the
monument to a worthy sue
cessor to the ill-fated
EngliShman, Sir Robert F.
Scott, and the Norwegian
Amundsen has been an
nounced in the monthly bull
letin of the Explorers Club
of New York. But one would
like to think that the great
ness Of Admiral Byrd is
such as will forever transcend
the need of monuments.

Navajo indians Consider
Building Own Stadium

seS won at the Tribal Fair after
much preparation. One modern Ma
vajO princess, and the other trad
itional princess will represent the
Navajo Tribe at the Sun Carnival
at Ell Paso, Texas" German will
be in charge of the visiting group.
Among other duties, he is manager
of the Navajo Tribal Band, which
has been in several Sun Parades.
German also visited officials
of Ell Paso Natural Gas. For if it
were not for the gas company,
chances are the tribe would not be
in financial position to consider
a fairgrounds stadium or partici-
patton in Sun Carnival activities.
German said this about the gas
company:
eel Paso Natural Gas was the
first real group of business people
to come into our reservation. They
carried out every agreement with
our tribe. They did what they said
they would do.
1t is the lease arrangements and
royalty payments from companies
like Ell Paso Natural Gas which has
provided the boom to the once-poor
Navajos.
The Navajo awakening started
about World War ii, when boys and
girls left the reservation to go into
the services, and others left to
work in defense plants.
During the War we had between
three and four thousand young men
and women in the Armed Services"

age was used for means of 'front.'

A Navajo Indian gets n idea
and then he thinks about it. After
long thought he may decide the idea
is worth talking about.
This has been the thought pro-
cess of Navajoe for perhaps mil
lion years, according to HOwardW.
German, Council member and Fair
Commissioner of the Navajo Tribe
in Window Rock, Ariz.
For a long time German has
been thinking about big Navajo
stadium for the tribes annual
fair--something like the grand
stand at Sunland Park or the new
stadium under construction for the
Sun Bowl.
During his stay there, German
also visited with the people who are
largely responsible for making
these thought processes possible
officials of Ell Paso Natural Gas
Co.
The annual Navajo Tribal Fair
at Window Rock has increased tre-
mendously in the last few years,
and grandstand facilities are obso-
lete.
''We heard about what happened
there at Sunland, about how they
built a hill and then put a grand
stand on it. So | went to see it. :"
He examined the Sunland plant,
and is thinking about how similar
stadium could be built for the Ma
vajos.
'eThe Council also has been
thinking about installing pari-
mutuels." German said "But
more inthe line of developing quar-
ter horses. This is still in the
thinking stage while the stadium is
in what we call the talking stage"
At the 18th Annual Tribal Fair,
crowds overflowed. Many people
had to sit or stand on the ground
for the three-day rodeo which has
attracted national attention.
Present seating capacity at the
fairgrounds is 1900. AS an exam
pie of how the fair is growing,
there were over 5000 individual
exhibits this year. Last year there
we're 5000.
