Of Highest Priority

The need for some sort of gov
ernmental assistance to areas that are
suffering deep and prolonged economic
distress is one that is above and beyond
partisan politics. It is, on the whole,
two-part need-calling for something
in the nature Of emergency relief for
many individuals and for longer term
efforts to rehabilitate many areas.
The special labor-management-govern-
mental study group headed by Senator
Douglas of Illinois has recognized these
essentials Of the problem and its recon-
mendations to President-elect Kennedy
contain constructive and worthwhile
proposals. Mr.. Kennedy, in turn, has
promised the most important domestic
priority to the matter, with the like
lihood that congressional action in this
field will be one of the first implementa-
tionS OF his campaign pledges.
Perhaps the simplest of the Doug
las committee proposals, and one that
presumably could be activated most
promptly, is that of making additional
surplus foodstuffS available for diStri-
button in centers where long unemploy-
ment has left families with little or no
means of Self-support Many such
commodities are available, and the cost
of their distribution would be insig-
nif1cant in relation to the need. The
committee also is on sound ground,
while referring to unemployment insur-
ance as first line Of defense against
the hardshipS of joblessness, in pro-
posing that there should be temporary
Federal experimentation of the insur-
ance funds in certain States, with
later effort to work out general
improvement" in this portion of the
Social Security system.
AS a long-term proposition, 1t is
evident that massive rehabilitation
of certain areas is essential If they are
to escape permanent state Of depres-
sion. West Virginia, with its over
whelming dependence upon the suffering
soft coal industry, is prime example
but not the only one. AS the Douglas
committee points out, the problem of
attracting new industries or reviving
existing ones in such regions will require
the thoughtful cooperation of all levels
OF government, from local to Federal, as
well as imaginative private initiative.
Quite logically, no price tag has
been placed on this overall attack on
a problem of Importance to the entire
Nation. 1t is, in any case, a job that
must be done and which should be
tackled without hesitation. On both
humanitarian and economic grounds,
the need is urgent and the returns
can be great

For Legislative Equity

Maryland's General Assembly, be-
ginning three-month general session
tomorrow, faces legislative schedule
that is certain to find the so-called
country boys" lining up against the
"city boys" in struggle for power.
This will be nothing new, of course,
but the tug of war this time may be
notably acrimonious, as both sides pre-
pare to seek advantages from the pro-
posed legislative and congressional re-
apportionment.
On the State level, a fight is
expected over plans for giving such
suburban counties as Montgomery and
Prince Georges a stronger voice in the
Assembly-as bef1ts their rapid growth
in population. Efforts of the urban
areas to gain more representation in
the Legislature failed at the 1860 ses-
sion. Since then number of studies
have been made, the results of which
will be submitted to the new session.
On the national level, there will
be similar proposals to give the counties
near Washington the benefit of another
Representative in Congress, under the
redlstricting necessitated by the latest
census figures. Maryland will gain
another seat in the House as a result
OF its population increase during the
past decade. Baltimore City, always
powerful influence at Annapolis,

Even Break for Investors

The New York Stock Exchange, as
the latest step in its effort to assure
investors a fair deal, has called upon
listed companies to avoid "hold-for-
release" as opposed to immediate re-
lease announcements of news which
might influence the price of their stocks.
1t is not suggested that there has
been any skulduggery in this respect.
When significant news is put out on a
hold-for-release basis, however, there
is always the chance that some people
will receive and act on information
before the general public knows about
1t. This is something that the Stock Ex-
change has a legitimate interest in
trying to prevent.
Evening star., 1961-01-03

undoubtedly will resist any redistricting
plan which would tend to reduce its
three-member voice in the House.
Reapportionment is not the only
problem promising fireworks in the 1861
General Assembly. There are a null
titude Of general and local bills to be
considered during the session. Some
Of these relate to important problems
in the nearby counties. But nothing
is apt to have priority over legislation
to give these counties more equitable
representation in Congress and in
the State Legislature.

Threat From the Sea
IF the latest estimate of

II the latest estimate Of Soviet sub
marine progress by James naval year.
book is correct, neither the West nor the
lands behind the Iron Curtain are
immune to the threat of sneak nuclear
attack from the sea. The 1861 edition of
the authoritative British review of the
worlds seapower supports recent Rus
sian claims that the big Soviet sub
marine fleet includes nuclear powered
and nuclear-a armed underSea ships, per-
hapS similar to our Polaris-type sub
mersibleS. The destructive potentialities
of such unseen missile carriers are too
grim to contemplate.
American naval experts have said
that it must be assumed that some Soviet
submarines are atom powered and carry
missiles with atomic warheads: If they
have positive information to that effect,
however, 1t is being withheld. James
asserts that the SovietS probably" have
several nuclear submarines in operation,
each equipped with guided missiles.
Uncertainty was expressed, however, as
to whether the missiles could be fred
while the submarines were submerged.
~ uACy Sd1AAAOUS GIlcu we StIk1 nave an
edge on the Russians in this field, for
our operational Polaris missiles can be
launched while the submarine hides on
the bottom Of the ocean. The Polaris is
capable Of travelling more than 1900
miles and can hit its target. An i'm
proved version is expected to have a
range of at least 1000 miles.
It would be risky to assume that the
Russians, too, do not have submarine
missiles that can be launched from
beneath the surface of the sea; or thai,
If they do not have them today, they
may not have them tomorrow. Soviet
scientists have shown proficiency not
only in duplicating our nuclear weapons
but in building rockets with greater
thrust than ours have produced to date.
Thus, the horrors of war in the nuclear
age loom ever larger-giving impetus,
we hope, to mems efforts to avert the
final cataclysm.

assumed the responsibility Of
providing roadways for move
ment Of people and goods.
When it becomes unfeasible
to provide these roadways in
sufficient numbers and carry
ing capacity to meet the
needs for such movements.
would it then be inconsistent
for governments to provide
an alternate means for such
movements-one that would
be feasible? If not, might we
not now establish, on q re-
gional basis and as public
agencies. departments Of
tramways and commuter
transport?
Such departments would be
charged with responsibility Of
construction Of street rail-

ban high-speed electric rail
lines to feed into city SUBJ

rail transit lines where and

possible to take commuters OF

partments might conceivably
have been established long

Charges Traffic Court With Bad Conduct

Recently I had the oppor-
tunity to spend a few hours
watching our D. c. Munich
pal Courts Traffic Division
in session. What I observed
was both disgusting and ap-
palling. The judge had dig
nifty and he appeared to be
most fair in listening to both
sides Of each case; he con-
Quoted himself honorably and
seemed to do his best to rem
der a Just decision in each
case heard before him.
But. the Judge and his
clerk were probably the only
dignified individuals con-
cerned in the entire proce-
dure. The conduct of most
Of the other public officials
bordered on sheer insolence
.and certainly brought disre-
pute upon our legal system in
the eyes Of some of the nom
American observers present
that day.
Let me cite a few examples
of what I noted. At 9:20 am,
a young, nattily-dressed,
somewhat foppish young
man appeared, sat in a
chair at the clerks desk,
leaned backward expansively.
and spent the next twenty
minutes with his feet upon
the clerks desk. This same
pattern Of conduct was re-
peated by him later in the
day.

Somewhere. to be found

kind Of a physical anxiety

Everybody, of course,
worries now and then. This
finding. however, applies to
the kind of folks who are
always worrying, usually
about things not worth being
anxious over.
One breaths partly with
the brain. There are CEN
ters OF nerve tissue in the
brains base which largely
regulate the strength and
rate Of respiration.
A powerful stimulant to
these breathing centers has
been reported to the Ameri-
can Physiological Society by
DR.. S. r. Said of the Med
ical College Of Virginia.
When the new drug, vanillic
diethylamide is injected in
extremely minute amounts
into the blood stream Of an
adult man, DR.. Said re-
ported, there is a marked
increase in respiration with
in 20 seconds which may
continue as long as 10 min
utes.

Apparently, the Virginia
doctor reports, it acts by
stimulating specially sensi-
tive centers in the main ar
teries of the neck which
Immediately send mes
sages" to the brain. 1t also
causes a slight rise in ar
terial blood pressure and
has a rousing effect with
transient dizziness and hot
flushes.
1t promises, DR.. Said said.
to be a potent remedy in ill
ness associated with de-
pressed respiration, presum-
ably due to under-activity Of
the brains respiratory area
rather than to obstructed
breathing or weak breath
ing muscles. Cases Of Sc
yerely depressed breathing
are encountered in over
whelming chest infections
and this may result in death.
DR.. Said's studies were
carried out with dogs ana
with human volunteers,
markedly fat men. The
breathing dificulty asso-
ciated with obesity after a
little exercise is well known.
The drug may also play an
important part in substitute
ing for artificial respiration.
