to be subject to charges and also to clear

To Start Thinqs Movinq

Congress last year showed a COM
mendable interest in helping the States
control reckless driving on the highways
It did so by approving the request of
State traffic and safety authorities for
establishment here of central registry
for drivers whose permits had been
revoked or suspended. But, unfortu-
nately, Congress failed to provide any
money with which to set up this
clearing house" and operate it. 1t is
good news, therefore, that the House
Appropriations Committee has voted to
provide the funds necessary to get the
new machinery moving.
The registry will be established
by the Department of Commerce,
with State motor vehicle agencies CO.
operating on voluntary basis. These
agencies have promised to send to the
department the names of all drivers
whose right to drive has been Cancelled
or suspended, so that authorities in all
the States can readily check on appli-
cantS for permits and thus defeat
efforts of reckless drivers to obtain
licenses in other Jurisdictions. Many
are known to have done this in the past,
since some States are extremely lax
in granting permits. Congress has been
told, however, that the States will gladly
take advantage of information available
at a central source in the Department
of Commerce. The sooner the registry
is able to begin operation, the sooner
many potentially dangerous drivers will
be ruled off the highways.

so Years Ago

What was characterized as
"the most spectacular flight
in the history of American
aviation" took place so years
ago. It came about, accord
ing to The Star of July /,
1911, when Harry N. Atwood,
flying a Wright-Burgess BIZ
plane, flew in and out of the
jagged canyon of New York
City's skyscrapers. His OBJ
jective was to circle the
Singer Tower, which rose
some 900 feet into the skies.
He started to do this while
flying at a mere 525 feet, but
a gust of wind drove him off
his course. The Star devoted
a full column on page one to
this daring feat,

It's ScondoIous

Well, the House District Committee
once again has approved an amendment
to the District obscenity laws which
contains the same absurd language
which failed of enactment year ago.
Among provisions of the bill is one
which would make it crime for news
papers or magazines to be devoted
mainly to the printing of certain mate
rial, Including scandals" Immoral
conduct" designations" or "intrigues
between men and women"
-, Now we are as much opposed as
anyone to the publication and the
distribution in any form of lewd and
salacious filth, and If there is need for
the laws of the city to be strengthened
In, order to prevent this, then by all
means it should be done. The trouble
with this bill is that it fails to provide
any sensible explanation of what is
meant by such terms as scandals" and
"intrigues between men and women"
'o' Indeed, as United States Attorney
Acheson noted in attacking the bill,
printed copy of Romeo and Juliet"
might well become the first victim of
such law. During one-day hearing
on. the bill, the Commissioners called
the language 80 vague and definite"
that it might well be found by the
courts to violate the First Amendment
Of the Constitution.
Regardless of whether that is so,
the language is so vague and indefinite

ure to slip by without debate last year,

Let's Talk About Berlin

"a' 1t may be true that Mr.. Khrushchev
would not risk war over Berlin. He
may be bluf1ng when he threatens to
sign separate peace treaty with East
Germany if the Berlin issue is not re-
solved this year. But 1t would be reck-
less and foolhardy to base United States
policy on any such assumptions - or
hopes.
~ There are those who suggest that
Majority Leader Mike Mansfield was
guilty of appeaSement, or worse, when
he urged a search for an honorable
third way out of the deadlock. We
suspect that these critics have not read
the text of the Senator's speech, for by
no stretch of the Imagination can any
advocacy Of appeasement be distilled
from his remarks. Whether or not the
critics have read the speech, however,
It. is unbridled nonsense to contend, as
some have done, that it is wrong, and
perhaps even unpatriotic, to discuss the
Berlin problem.
The respective positions" of the
United States and Russia on Berlin date
back almost to the end of World War II.
These positions are irreconcilable. And
it is not sensible to say that no alter
native should be searched for, or that
no compromise is possible. This is the
way to stumble blindly into another war
which certainly would ruin Berlin and
which could destroy most of mankind.
- 1t is precisely because of this that
we think the Berlin problem, including
all rational alternatives, should be dis
cussed, fully, freely-and now. 1t should
be discussed by the President, in the
Senate, and in any other responsible
forum. 1t would be an act of folly to
Sit back and wait until the crisis is
upon us.
s.r The answer to those who merely
cry Stand Firm!" is that the highest
duty of craftsmanship is to seek ac-
ceptable alternatives to war This is
what Senator Mansfield has urged. This,
we, believe, is what the President must
be doing. And this, we hope, is very
much in Mr.. Khrushchev'S mind. If
this is not the case, If the Soviet Pre-
mier is determined to force showdown,
there may be no way to avoid a war
Meanwhile, however, let's not be afraid
to talk about Berlin.

Sino-Soviet Axis

In the future years Of cold
war which seem to lie ahead,
we shall begin to hear more
about a nation where brutal
Stalinism and gentle Budd-
hism have awkwardly CO.
existed since 1925: Outer
Mongolia. Although it is not
commonly known that the
vast land between China and
Russia has been a Soviet
satellite for more than a
quarter Of a decade, we
should look to this part Of
the world with a wary eye.
Outer Mongolia has long
been politically and econom-
ically tied with Russia in an
alliance that has had more
than its share Of friction,
mutual distruSt and outright
revolt. Although communism
has not exactly flourished in
this land. the alliance has
given considerable quantities
of gold, oil and marble to the
Russians, as well as some
degree of control over the
country's 1.3 million popula-
tion. At the peak Of Soviet
influence in 1953-54, heavy
trading was underway and
Outer Mongolia was begin
ming to develop an armed
force equipped with current
weapons. All of this would
sound little different than
the story of a dozen other
Moscow satellites if it were
not for the fact that the
Mongolians have virtually no
cultural, genealogical or
linguistic ties with their
slavic allies.
The important point Is
that, beginning shortly after
the Korean War, Chinese po-
litical and economic influ-
ence began to outstrip that
of the Russians. Thus Outer
Mongolia has for several
years been the initial battle
ground in a new struggle for
world power-the struggle
between Peiping and Moscow.
China's vast success in trad
ing and gaining political in
fluence with its Mongolian
neighbor is a critical sign
post of our times. The hand
writing is on the wall: Mao
Tse-tung's government has
proven that it wishes to ex-
ercise authority and achieve
dominance of its own.
The fate of an Outer Mon
golia divided by two kinds of
communism may seem un-
important, but the existence
Of such a struggle should be
of significance for all Amer
leans. It is to our advantage
that our enemies are divided.
If there Is anything we can
do to increase tension be-
tween Peiping and Moscow,
it should be done at all cost.
Perhaps we might begin by
broadcasting to the world the
inconsistencies, as well as
the fallacies, of Sino-Soviet
Marxism. If we can publicize
the political differences be-
tween our socialist enemies,
we will do much to show the
world the ultimate folly OF
communism of any kind.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt
dynasty" as critics some
times referred to his era, was
still going strong 25 years ago.
FDR and Texan John Nance
Garner were nominated at
Philadelphia to carry the
Democratic standard to the
polls in November. The Star
of June 26, 1886, reported
Roosevelt's name had been
placed in nomination by
Judge John E. Mack, of New
York, who had the conven-
ton roaring with these
words: THE President sur
rounded himself in his cab
met with the most able and
progressive representatives in
the Union. With the aid of
this splendid cabinet, with
the aid Of a Democratic Con-
gress and with the aid of the
forward looking, country
loving and far-seeing pro-
gressives and Republicans. he
proceeded to place this coun-
try on its feet. 80"

Teen-Age Drivers

AS a group of students in
terested in community af-
fairs, we would like to pre-
sent our views in response to
Judge Noyes' proposals con-
corning restrictions on teen
age driving.
We have observed that in
a suburban community such
as Montgomery County
motorized transportation is a
necessity. Because of dis
tances prohibitive to walking
and since the public trans
portation system is. in many
cases, inadequate for effici-
ent conveyance between
school and home, automo-
biles are essential to a we'll
rounded academic and social
life.
Many extracurricular activ-
tiles take place outside
school hours but meet at
school, so that students must
either drive or relinquish
such activities in order to
ride the bus. Economic rea-
sons necessitate the use of a
car by students who must
travel to their jobs immedi-
ately after school or in the
evening.
1t is unjust to penalize
competent and responsible
drivers because of a few Of
tenders. We feel that the pro-
posals advocated by Judge
Noyes will do more harm
than good and will not solve
the problem satisfactorily.
We are sure that a more
equitable solution can be

publican: :" From an Off
Ger from one of the COM
panies stationed at Manassas
Junction, who arrived here,
we have obtained the, follow
ing particulars at that point:
Troops are arriving in large
numbers every day, are being
thrown forward and for miles
around every point is occu-
pied by them. Nothing
was definitely known of the
intended movements of Gen.
Beauregard. :" The Star
said on June rs, 1861: %. d.
(A) reliable citizen who had
been held prisoner for three
days at Manassas Junction
:. estimated the force en-
camped at the junction at
10000. He reports that q
fourth of all the troops are
armed with shotguns, and a
portion are wholly without
arms, apparently. :" The
same day, this paper revealed
the Confederates had struck
a devastating blow at Mar
tinsburg. w. Va, where they
destroyed 48 locomotives and
many coal cars valued at
100000. g. The work of
destruction wasfaccomplished
by piling immense quantities
of cordwood over and around
the locomotives and firing it.
The Confederate troops
at Martinsburg and in the
vicinity are said to number
about $500, being a portion
of Gen. Johnston's command
from Harpers Ferry, the ad-
vance guard toward Will

100 Years AGO

If everything printed in
the press could have been
accepted as gospel, neither
North nor South would have
needed much of a scouting
or espionage system in the
Civil War. Pro-Union news
papers reprinted reports of
Confederate troop strength
and movements that ap-
peared in Dixie journals, and
it worked the other way, too.
The Star had regular and
part-time correspondents in
Northern Virginia, but it
supplemented their dis
patches with items culled
from Richmond and other
Old Dominion papers. The
name Of Manassas. not yet
a bloody battle site, began
to appear in print with some
regularity. This was said to
be the destination of Gen.
Joseph e. Johnston's troops
when they withdrew from
HarperS Ferry, though actu-
ally they went to Winchester.
Gen. Pierre G. T. Beaure-
CARDS gray-clad legions then
occupied Manassas. The i'm
portance of this rail junction
to the South, as well as its
threat as a marshaling point
for Confederate troops for a
possible assault on the Capt.
tai. was clear to Lincoln and
his military advisers. The
President decided On June
20, 1861, that Gen. Irwin Nc
Dowell (whose headquarters
were in Robert E. Lees aban-
doned manSion), should lead
a Union advance on Manas-
sas. The Star of June 26,
1851, reprinted this predic-
ton by a Manassas corre-
spondent of the Richmond
Whig: a.. I should not Won
der if it were not = month
before a battle takes place
in this region. It VIII be upon
this very spot, I think, and I
can tell you it will be a des-
perate one. We can defend
ourselves against three times
our number, with q thousand
or more men added to our
force. The enemy has
been quite bold in his ap-
proaches to our outposts un-
til lately, when he thinks it
unwholesome. I always told
you we could whip them two
to one with our infantry,
provided the batteries of the
United States Army are not
in the neighborhood. :" On

,Moqozine Curtain

In its editorial entitled
Magazine Curtain" The
Star suggests that a Cana
dian commission is goiAg to
strange lengths to stifle COM
petition to Canadian maga-
zines from magazines pub
lished in the United States.
The Star might have told
its readers that every Amer
ican magazine under the
commissions proposals is
free to circulate in Canada
without paying a Canadian
tax Of any kind provided
that it is sent to Canada in
the same form that it is cir
culated in the United States.
At the present time the cir
culation of U. S. magazines
in Canada is so great that it
costs the Canadian post Of
flee So million a year to de-
liver them.
The Canadian commission
has taken objection to Amer
lean magazines, with many
times the resources of Cana
dian magazines, stopping
their presses and picking up
advertising aimed only at
Canadian readers. The COM
mission has also objected to
using American editorial con-
tent to rear an advertising
structure in Canada.
The commission feels that
II the present unrestricted
foreign advertising competi-
ton continues, not a single
Canadian magazine will be
able to survive. No recon-
mendationS of any kind have
been made to inhibit circula,
ton competition from the
United States.
The report has Just been
made public. The govern
ment has not yet stated
whether or not the recon-
mendations will be accepted.

The Worst Yet

OF all the asinine propos-
ais put forth in the last few
months, the one on taxing,
Federal Reserve power, etc.,
put forth by the so-called
blue ribbon" commission
headed by Mr.. Frazar B.
Wilde is perhaps the worst
yet. II I remember correctly,
the Constitution specifically
charges Congress with the
responsibility for 1evying
taxes and it seems to me
that delegating any of that
responsibility to anyone else
would be unconstitutional.
The argument by the COM
mission that its economic
proposals are more efficient
brings to mind what has Of
ten been said: A dictatorship
is theoretically far more
efficient" than a democracy.
If this is true, then why not
have Congress go all the way
and, after writing the Presi-
dent a blank check and CIV
ing him the power to levy
taxes, dissolve itself and go
home. Evidently the commits
sion thinks that Big Brother
knows best.
I realize that the commits
sion is merely proposing"
and that If any disposing is
done, it will have to be by
Congress. And, unless they've
taken greater leave of their
senses than I think they
have. this proposal won't get
very far. If the commissions
report adds up to only "a
moderate expansion Of the
Federal Governments role in
the economy" I wonder what
extensive expansion" would
be.
