Men in Glass Houses

I refer to your July 81 edi-
torial, Men in Glass
Houses"
Yes, the subject of free
travel abroad does intrigue
me. I am intrigued regard
less Of who the recipient is
administration official,
member Of Congress or
newsman.
However, your suggestion
that I turn my attention to
"the junkets Of his fellow
Congressman" comes rather
late. AS many of my col
leagues can tell you, I have
on numerous occasions dur
ing my l3 years in the House
criticized congressional jun
kets. Moreover, I have spon-
Sored legislation, some pro-
visions of which were enact
ed into law to require a full
and individual public ac-
counting Of all expenditures
Of Government and counter
part funds by members Of
Congress travelling in over
seas areas.
With reference to the spe-
cific case of Pierre E. G.
Salinger, where does The
Star draw the line? What
makes Mr.. Salinger any
more entitled to a free pleas
ure jaunt to Europe than
other citizens?
I have not. as The Star
alleges, tried "to make a
mountain out of this molehill."
AS far as I am concerned,
there can be no justification
for free travel, at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers. ex-
cept in connection with an
individuals official govern
mental duties. If this is be-
ing more than slightly pet
ty," I plead guilty.
H. r. Gross,
Representative from Iowa
Your recent editorial in
regard to Pierre Salinger's
trip to Europe with his
daughter suggests that Rep
resentative Gross is making
a mountain out of a molehill.
I disagree.
The issue is special priv
ilegeS for families of highly
placed administration Off
cials.
You say the matter is un-
important because there was
space available on the air.
plane. It probably mattered
to many servicemen who
were waiting for rides back
to their units in Europe and
who. I'll wager, were not
given an opportunity to use
the available space even
though they, unlike Mr.. Sal
inger's daughter, had official
travel orders.
Salinger's daughter had no
possible reason to be on a
military aircraft whether
there was space available or
not. She was not on official
business.

Regulating Growth
Joseph l. Puente.

In your editorial Of July
%, "On Regulating Growth"
you give the impression that
/ have a ready-made broad
dispersal formula" which will
scatter Federal agencies to
other parts Of the country
without regard to the best
interests of the Government.
The facts are that I have no
dispersal formula, and I GER
tainly would place the inter-
ests of the Government above
other considerations in de-
termining the location of a
Federal agency. What I do
propose is that a responsible
officer of the Government
establish criteria for location
and that the functions of all
agencies now in Washington
or those newly created be re-
viewed in the light of these
criteria.
You assume that the Fed
eral agencies now in the
Washington area are here on
the whole because they must
be here. The fact is that
historical accident, or the de-
cisions of agency administra-
tors who preferred to be in
Washington, are responsible
for the presence here of many
agencies. These administra-
tors have not in peacetime
been required to give serious
consideration to alternative
locations. and without Gov
ernment-wide standards to
guide them or any outside
review. it is not surprising
that they should choose to
concentrate in the Washing
ton area.
1t is true, as you say, that
area population as a whole
has risen in the past decade
while the Federal employe
population has remained
relatively stable. 1t would be
quite wrong. however, to con-
clude that the size of the
Government has little to do
with the future growth Of the
area. The fact is that Wash
ington has been, and may
still be, undersupplied with
services in relation to the
numbers engaged in the basic
occupations. among which
the Government bulks large.
We have been catching up
with this shortage. When
shortages have been met,
total population is much more
likely to vary in closer cor
respondence with the changes
in Federal employe popula-
ton.
Henry S. ReusS,
Member of Congress
from Wisconsin.
Editors Note: Actually, The
Star found Mr.. Reuss' re-
marks on dispersal very in
teresting; one difficulty, how
ever, was that he omitted
reference to the manner in
which the relocation he ia
vors might be carried out.
We see nothing wrong with
the proposal made in this let
ter that criteria for location
in Washington be established,
and that the various agencies
here be reviewed in the light
of such criteria.)

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
No Sale
By DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United-states Senate

ReCcIlIly at DuSy mart i
stood in line at "The receipt
Of customs" waiting for the
clerk who was scanning the
checks to ring up the amount
of the sale in each case and
to deal out the change. Then
suddenly with deft fingers
she touched the sensitive
mechanism and up came the
legend mo sale"
Those two words kept re-
peating themselves in my
mind-no sale, no sale. AS we
come with money in our
hands to pay for that which
we want that is the verdict
always with regard to the
things that matter most.
Their value cannot be esti-
mated by a cash register. The
things that are worth most
are not for sale.
How much you have in the
bank has no connection with
what you have stored in the
vault of your personality.
Your financial assets have
no relation to what you have
acquired across the years in
the golden currency of faith,
and hope, and love. Making
paramount the first and ie-
noring the second accounts
for the moral and spiritual
bankruptcy of these chaotic
times when the sign of the
dollar seems to be attached
to every mundane value.
Now, such a remark is not
a bunch of sour grapes. There
is much that money can, do.
1t can bring to pass so much
that its power seems like a
magic wand. 1t can feed
starving multitudes, it can
build factories and homes, it
can erect temples of worship
and schools to train youth for
tomorrow's better world.
With money America has
raised dikeS of defense at
home and abroad against the
Red sea of engulfing COM
munism. Money is often a
root of evil: but it is also a
root on whose stalk often
grows the flower of paradise.
The wealthiest man who
ever lived. whose precepts
were more golden than gold,
had empty pockets. He who
had to borrow a coin to illus
trate the truth He proclaimed
knew that even a penny could
be held so close to ones eve
as to shut out the sky and
obscure the vast things
money can never buy. How
ever, there is absolutely
nothing in the matchless
parallels of the Great Cali
lean to indicate that He re-
garded the accumulation of
money as intrinsically wrong.
The point that Jesus always
stresses is that there are
yearnings and capabilities
which mere material possess
sions can never satisfy.
The Master Teacher was
always saying that any man
is being deceived by a spe-
ciouS and tragic bargain if
his earnings and goods en-
compass everything money
can secure while, at the same
time. ne is a pauper in the
higher values where ordinary
currency is utterly useless.
For in spite of our vast finan-
cial concerns, our stocks and
our bonds. our banks burst
ing with the coin of which
they are the custodians, to
keep and loan-in spite of
the noisy, daily. transactions
of the stock exchange which
the newspapers and radio
carefully report every day to
an anxious public-it still
remains that the most radiant
and vital things which are
factors in the making of an
abundant life always are

Firm to Help
On nWoodson
Successor

The Fairfax County School
Board has decided to hire a
management consultant firm
to help in finding a new school
superintendent.
The board voted 6 to l last
night, with Waldron E. Leon
ard opposing. to ask the Board
of County Supervisors to allow
the expenditure of $4,000 to
$1,000 to hire Booz, Allen and
Hamilton, a New York firm
which has a branch Office in
Washington.
Board chairman Theodore s.
Heriot said the firm would
screen the more than 200 can
didates for the job which is
being vacated this June by
w. T. Woodson.
The firm is to give the board
a list of about 10 names from
which to choose. The board
majority indicated it did not
have time to do justice to the
job Of screening more than
200 applicants.
Board Member Hills Lory,
chairman Of the three member
committee appointed to find a
new superintendent. said the
firm has had wide experience
in finding business executives
and some experience in educa-
tional work.
Mr.. Leonard, also a member
of the committee, was strongly
opposed to hiring the firm. He
suggested a citizens advisory
council instead.
Mrs. Joan D. Butler. the
third member of the selection
committee, said the firm wrote
her a letter shortly after Mr..
Woodson's June retirement
was announced.
Mrs. Butler told reporters
she had never heard of the
firm before and turned the
letter over to Mr.. Lory.
She said the committee
asked the National Association
of School Administrators about
the firm and received a good
report about it. The possibil-
ity Of hiring other firms or of
putting the job out for COM
petitive bids was not discussed,
Mrs. Butler said.
Separately. the board heard
a request from the Fairfax
County Taxpayers Alliance for
inclusion in the school budget
Of countrywide and school-by-
school achievement test results.

Approval Due
On Vocational
Education Plan

The Arlington School Board
has deferred until January 19
probable favorable action on a
vocational education program
to be dispersed among four
county high schools.
Only a half dozen citizens
spoke last night on the plan,
outlined last month by Supt. |
Ray e. Reid, and all but one
gave it their Endorsement.
One of the hackers, H. j.
Sullivan, who is a mechanical
drawing instructor in the Dis
trict Of Columbia public school
system, estimated that a high
school student who completes
the course in steam. fitting
would make about $40 an
hour after his first year of
apprenticeship on the job.
"It is getting so that an
experienced tradesman will |
make a lot more money than |
a college graduate for q long
time at first" Mr.. Sullivan |
said.
Donald Ingraham, supervisor |
Of industrial arts and voca-
tional education for the Ar
lington schools, presented fig
ures showing the program is
designed for the 3 per cent who
drop out Of school in grades
9 through IL and the 80 per
cent who will not continue
with college education.
Designated by Schools
The plan envisions Offering
automobile mechanics at WASH
ington-Lee and at Hoffman
Boston High Schools; air con-
ditioning at WI: graphic arts
at Yorktown or Wakefield, and
masonry at Hoffman, Boston.
Students, after screening
tests and conferences with par
ents and guidance counselors,
would be admitted to the school
offering the specific courses.
They would be transported
from the school where they are
primarily assigned to the school
offering the particular voca-
tional training.
This situation was the basis
for an objection by one citizen,
Miss Kitty Reynolds, of the
pro = segregationist Arlington
Chapter Of the Defenders of
State Sovereignty and Individ-
ual Liberties.
Miss Reynolds reminded the
board that Virginia has adopt
ed a freedom of choice" pro-
gram to prevent enforced at
tendance at integrated public
schools. She, reasoned, however,
this choice might be eliminated |
IN cases where a Negro student |
takes a vocational class at a
primarily white school.
First consideration should |
be given to education and not |
to social reforms" Miss Rey-
nolds declared.
One School Suggested
Mrs. Herbert Freedman Of
the WI Parent Teacher Asso-
citation. while supporting the
program, said she thought 1t
might be more economical for
the country to establish one vo-
cational high school rather
than shift students around
among the four schools for spe-
cif1c classes.
Both Mr.. Reid and Barnard
Joy, board chairman, replied
that the situation has not yet
approached that stage in Ar
lington. Mr.. Joy said that to be
economically feasible, a voca-
tional high school would have
to have at least 100 graduates.
which means" he added, al
lowing for dropouts, would re-
quire an enrolment Of at least
$50"

Beach Visitors Will
Find Mony Changes

Complete hotel facilities, IN
cluding telephones in every
room, were added to the former
Ocean Front Motel. The former
South Shore became a counter
part in pink to the Traymore.'
Opening this month are "a
new units at the Mariner Motor
Hotel at 57th street. The origi-
nal 38-unit facility; completed
three years ago, will become
the largest motel at Virginia
Beach.
The hotel picture, however,
isn't all on the plus side. Three
older units along the ocean
front have been demolished.
The Trafton- Chalfonte Hotel
lat Twenty eighth street and
the Kenilworth at Twenty-first
street were razed last winter
after they were damaged by
fires. The Spotswood Arms
Hotel at Twenty-sixth street
was torn down to make way
for the Sea Hawk Motel. a six
story, 50-unit project to be
built next fall.
