The Popular WHE

Maryland's highest court aptly
summed up the electorate's over
whelming Endorsement of the proposed
Maryland Virginia fishing compact as
"a free, full and intelligent expression
Of the popular will" We think the
court was justified, therefore, In brush
ing aside technical objections to last
Noyember's referendum on the pact.
And we think that further efforts by
a group Of fishermen to forestall
adoption of the agreement would be
tll-advised.
Although all seven judges Of the
States Court of Appeals conceded that
a legal requirement for advertising of
the referendum in papers in all the
counties had not been strictly met, six
Of them nevertheless ruled that, because
Of Widespread newspaper, radio and
television publicity, the law had been
substantially complied with. 1--WE cannot
assume" said the majority, "that the
almost 100000 people who voted for the
compact, or any substantial portion of
them, did not understand the issue on
which they voted"

compact, which would replace a 1785

Time for Tuft-HortIey

The refusal of the striking mari
time unions to accept administration
proposals for a 60-day truce and an
impartial review Of the issues involved
In the waterfront tieup results in an
intolerable situation. It reflects not
only an irresponsible disregard Of public
convenience and needs, but Of the
national interest.
Secretary of Labor Goldberg, who
has intervened effectively in other
major labor disputes in recent months,
has tried to find a solution for this
one. He did not do this for the purpose
Of "bailing out" the shipownerS or with
any idea of destroying the process of
free collective bargaining-as charged
by National Maritime Union President
Joseph Curran. In fact, by suggesting
that a presidential panel should study
the really basic issue Of this strike
whether these unions should have the
power to bargain for foreign crews Of
American owned foreign-flag Ships-he
was opening the way to negotiation on
a matter Of Government policy. For
it has been Government policy to permit
American-owned shipping to fly these
flags of convenience" with the assur-
ance that this fleet is available for
national needs in time of emergency.
To keep it so under the high cost Of
American seafaring labor contracts
would require governmental subsidy, at
added expense, Of course, to the Ameri-
can taxpayers.
With this involvement of govern
mental relations, the industry and the
striking unions actually do not have
the authority by themselves to resolve
the issue. The shipowners have recog-
nized this fact in their acceptance Of
Mr.. Goldberg'S plan to submit the mat
ter to a preSidentially appointed fact
finding panel. Mr.. Curran and his
colleagues have chosen instead to con-
tinue the costly and paralyzing tieup.
At the moment, there appears no
alternative except to invoke the Taft
Hartley Act, for which all parties
express a diStaste.

Job Well Done

In resolving highway conflicts in
volving Federal parks in Washington,
there is no substitute for decision
making at the highest level. This was
proved a couple Of years ago when
former Secretary Of the Interior Seaton
negotiated a settlement Of the Theo-
dore Roosevelt Bridge fight It was
reafEirmed the other day in the excel
lent plan worked out by the UnderSec-
retaries Of the Commerce and the
Interior Departments for financing
construction Of the Lincoln Memorial
trafnc tunnel as part Of the Districts
inner loop freeway system.
Under the agreement, the Park
Service will set the design standards
for the tunnel and the approach roads,
extending as far as Fourteenth street.
This is a proper function, for it will
assure the utmost protection of the
esthetic values Of the Memorial grounds.
At the same time, the construction will
be under the supervision of the High
way Department, which will assure that
the heavy traffic requirements Of the
new road will be fully met: r.
Ii 1S OLlly 1dlI, COAlcAuCAlIlS O1AC Az
creased expense involved in the Lincoln
Memorial area, that District taxpayers
will not have to contribute directly to
the cost. The District contribution will
be substantial nevertheless, because the
Federal funds to pay for the job will be
deducted from the amounts Of highway
aid due the city during the next few
years. This will result in deferment
of important highway projects else
where in the city.
Such postponement, however, Is
a small price to pay for the amicable
settlement of an extremely difhcult
problem. The damage which conceiv-
ably could have been caused in the
Lincoln Memorial area might have
been serious Yet the traffic facility
also, is necessary; when completed, 1t
will be great asset to Virginia motor
lists as well as those who live in the
northwest part of the city and Mont
gomery County.
Too often in the past, conflicts
between highway and park officials have
been resolved only after long public
! controversy. We are glad that such a
hassle has been avoided this time, and
we congratulate the responsible persons
for a Job well done.

continue to trade with this

we might be able to get them

painfully evident that Poland
Is still Communist and tied

abrogated by Maryland, supported the
General Assembly's previous indorse-
ment Of the document. But the Southern
Maryland watermen's suit has delayed
final ratification by Congress. (virginia's
General Assembly Endorsed the pact
two years ago. If the fishermen should
decide to carry their appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, they would
present the high tribunal with the
anomaly Of passing on the validity of
a compact which it was instrumental
in bringing into being. For the proposed
agreement was drawn up at the sug-
gestion of retired Justice Stanley Reed,
appointed by the Supreme Court to
work out a settlement Of pending
litigation between the two States. In
view Of this background, the high court
probably would not relish the idea of
having to pass Judgment on what, in
effect, is its own creation.
