Bold Venture

President Kennedy, in committing
the Federal Government to an inter
state compact with New York, Della
ware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey for
the joint development and control of
the Delaware River Basin, has aptly
described this endeavor as a bold
venture"
Upon the resources of this great
basin rest the well-being of the most
highly concentrated urban region in the
Nation. The four States dependent upon
it, not to mention hundreds of towns,
cities and counties, have been engaged
for years in struggle for share of
its water. The compact is the result of
three decades of heretofore fruitlesS
efforts to find single political mech
aniSm to develop adequate water sup
plies, regulate their use, and conduct
programs Of flood control, pollution
abatement and recreation. The dect-
sion Of the Federal Government to be-
come fully active partner generated
serious apprehensionS within the ad-
min1Stration. 1t seems to us, however,
that the reasons for Federal participa-
tion are sound, and the progress of the
compact group will be watched care
fully by other urban regions, Washing
ton among them, as possible pattern
of future action in their own areas.
Evening star., 1961-11-07
Antiques Are Nice, but

President Kennedy is learning what
many another husband of an antique
collector has learned, namely, that
antique furniture is decorative and all
that, but it should be used with some
caution. Especially chairs.
The trouble with antique chairs, as
the President and some of his legislator
friends recently found out to their
discontinue, is that they are apt to
collapse unless they have been carefully
restored, reglued and perhaps reinforced
by cabinet maker. And here another
deterrent factor enters the picture.
Many antique lovers are reluctant to
have old pieces worked on by modern
hands. Dents and scratches and worn
places are considered marks of dis
tinction-proof of age.
We do not know how much if any
reStoratory work was done on the
Presidents collapsible chairs. All we
have been able to learn, in fact, is that
the remains of the broken chairs have
been removed from the consultation
room and replaced by sturdier pieces Of
another period-this period. We suspect,
meanwhile, that the remnants of the
antique chairs will be put together
again-as many another broken antique
has been mended-but that this time
they will be reserved for display, rather
than practical use.
Evening star., 1961-11-07
D-DoY at the Polls

The privilege of casting a vote on
various levels of local government is
being exercised in scattered areas across
the Nation todaS For those who make
national politics their profession, how
ever, attention will be concentrated on
two conteStS-one for the governorship
OF New Jersey, and the other for the
post OF Mayor of New York City With
reason, the results in each of these will
be interpreted as meaningful-StrawS
In the wind, at leaSt-in terms of
current Republican VS.. Democratic
sentiment, or of the more subtle and
complex weighing of prospects for
parties and individuals in 1862 and 1864.
In the Garden State, a popular
figure in the G. o. P. administration of
General Eisenhower is making his first
run for elective office. AS Secretary of
Labor through nearly two full terms
. in the Eisenhower cabinet, James P.
Mitchell earned Identification as a
liberal Republican and his fate in todays
voting will offer a measurement of the
popular appeal of this broadly moderate
philosophy toward politics and govern
ment. Opposing Mr.. Mitchell is a
respected Democratic opponent, former
Superior Court Judge Richard ]. Hughes,
who has presented himself as willing
and enthusiastic champion of the New
Frontier administration of President
Kennedy.
New Jersey itself provides a good
. testing ground. Once normally Re-
publican" State, it has in more recent
years demonstrated greater interest
in candidates and issues than in straight
party commitments Whichever candi-
date wins this one may have even
brighter political prospects ahead, and
there is no doubt about the deep
interest of the national leadership of
both parties in the results.
BY comparison, the contest in New
York City is more complicated, more
personal and more earthly. In a munic-
ipality that is heavily Democratic year
IN and year out, this normally dominant
party is divided in extreme and unusual
bitterness. Mayor Bob Wagner, seeking
his third term, is at the center of this
factional merry -go-round in which
liberals, reformerS, Independents and
organization bosses past and present
have been working each other over. In
today'S showdown, the habit of voting
Democratic is expected to prevail but
the campaign wounds still may be
hurting the party when Republican
Governor Rockefeller runs for re-elec-
ton in 1962-aS warmup for his presi-
Dental bid in 1854. A G. o. P. victory
in the mayoralty race, rated as only a
long-Shot possibility, would tempt
Rockefeller supporters to dance in the
streets.
In any event, when the counting is
completed in New Jersey and New York
City there will be some significant new
check points for calculating the 1862
1864 political course

Blue Law MIDDLE

First efforts to enforce Virginia's
muddled Sunday closing law, recently
upheld as constitutional by the State
Supreme Court, resulted in fully as much
confusion as had been predicted by mer-
chants and legal authorities alike. 1t was
inevitable that law so replete with am
biguitieS and uncertainties should puzzle
all who must comply with it or try to
enforce it, In fact, there is only one very
certain thing about this new law-it will
have to be revised by the next General
Assembly to make it workable, or else it
ought to be repealed.
Paradoxically, it was with a view to
making the States old blue laws" more
specific and more enforceable that the
Legislature drafted the new law. But in
trying to be specific about articles which
could or could not be sold on the Sab
bath, the legislators ran into political
pressures which led to exemption of some
items in a totally illogical way. For
example, Virginia'S famous Smithfield
hams were excluded from the Sunday
sales ban, although other cured meats
are barred unless cooked in advance of
sale. The law forbids Sunday sales of
any meats "customarily inedible without
further cooking or preparation" Milk
may be sold, but not eggs. Stores are al
lowed to sell novelties" but not "toys"
"a difference not always apparent. One
Arlington man learned that he could not
buy fuse to replace burned-out one
at his home. A fuse is not, of course,
novelty, only necessity.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
the Arlington County Board has called
