Happy Landings

Policemen are the incest
people, especially those at
Washington National Air
port.
Recently I had to make a
2:40 pm. flight to Charlotte,
N. c. 1 arrived at the air.
port in what I thought was
ample time to park my car
at one of the lots available
for overnight parking. There
wasn't one vacant space.
After pleading with the at
tendant to take my keys and
park my car when a space
was vacant, I was told that it
was against company policy.
At 2::37 pm, I still had no
place to leave my car. Not
only was 1 going to miss my
flight, but so we're two other
women who we're waiting for
me at the gate. I had their
tickets.
I pulled up to the airport
entrance, jumped from the
car, and ran to the airline
counter to announce my ar
rival. 1 was told, in no I'M
certain terms, that the plane
was ready to close its doors,
and would not wait for me.
In tears, I ran back to
my car, and explained my
plight, Historically, to a VIVA
policeman who was standing
there. He calmly asked for
my keys, told me to run catch
my plane, and pick up my
keys at the police station
upon my return next evening.
After the plane door was
slammed behind me, 1 sud-
denly realized that my good
samaritan would probably
have to tow my car to a
parking lot because it is jap
anese-made. Even the jap
anese have to refer to a
manual to instruct them as
to the correct position of the
five gears!
Upon my return, I reported
to the police station, was
cheerfully handed my keys,
and politely told where my
car could be found. The Off
Ger in charge further ad-
vised me that, if my car was
ticketed, to return to the Of
flee, and an adjustment
would be made. But there was
no ticket.
What nice policemen!

Space for Displaced

in turn, referred it to the Met
ropolitan Regional Planning
Council, which has reposited
it with a small staff with
the direction to make a study
as to the kind of study which
will have to be made to de-
velop adequate data for a de-
cision. The results of this
earth : shaking undertaking
are scheduled to be reported
early next year. After that
we can predict months, per-
hapS years, Of delay.
Meanwhile, wrecking crews
will have preceded the high
way builders in converting
hundreds of homes into free
ways and District citizens will
be faced with an ever-increas-
ing line of displaced families
TO be rehOuSed within our
narrow boundaries on an
ever-diminishing supply of
costly land.
Recently the Governor of
Maryland wired the NCPC
urging full speed ahead on
the Inner Loop. 1t is high
time for the beleagyered citi-
zens of the District to wire
officials of surrounding jur-
isdictions that unless prompt
action is taken for the as
sumption of a fair share of
the burden of rehousing low
and middle-income families
displaced by this action we
will join in an all-out effort
to secure a tax on the pay
rolls of commuters who use
these facilities without OBJ
legation to earn a living in
Washington.

ReVenqe?
Miss M. SimOs.

The Star lost no time (see
editorial of November IL,
Never Underestimate, etc.
in taking revenge upon Mrs.
James F. Rowe for the cir
cumspection, perhaps even
the courage, with which, on
her first day as chairman of
the National Capital Planning
Commission, she opposed, if
only by abstaining from
the vote, the current INSTALL
ment of freeway projects
which are being pushed
through to the irreparable
DETACHMENT of this Capital
City.
Unlike your editorialist, we
do not pretend to the compe-
tence which would entitle us
to speak of Mrs. Rowe as
wholly lacking in the expert
ence and training which one
would like to be able to as
sociate with the chairman
ship of the planning commits
Sion." But we feel that the
fact that she is deeply in
love with her native city of
Washington" and deter
mined to protect it's beauty"
is in itself a high qualifica-
ton, and apparently one of
the rarest. She will clearly
have a fight on her hands,
against a powerful combina-
ton of interests, some of
which, whether or not they
could bear the light of day,
will certainly never see it in
the columns of The Star.

Falls Church 'SoforT

According to The Star Of
November 6, Falls Church
and Rockville will vie for
honors at Miami Beach in an
"All-America Cities Award"
sponsored by the National
Municipal League and Look
Magazine.
Rockville, a stout, fine
town of about 10000 will be
represented by it's elected
Mayor. Without doubt he
will discharge his duties cap
ably and effectively, as
should be.
Falls Church, however, pro-
poses to send a phalanx OF
representatives" to seek the
award of one of the I'll blue
ribbon spots" for a town OF
about 10000.
One of these eleven blue
ribbons - if, as, and when
won-undoubtedly will be an
acceptable decoration some
where or a satisfaction to
somebody. However. one
wonders why this massive
assistance" is called for. Ac-
cording to the report, for
Falls Church the Mayor, two
councilihen, the city mana
ger, and yet another citizen
identified by name only will
make the long hard trek to
Miami Beach to present the
Falls Church case"
The contrast between the
Rockville approach and the
Falls Church arrangement, as
announced, is striking. Most
interesting is the question of
who is paying the freight for
the safari from Falls Church
for whom and for what?
AS one citizen and taxpay-
er of Falls Church, I certain
ly want to be excused or
saved som e how from any
Identification with this obvi-
Gus piece of funny business.
Most specifically this obiec-
ton runs against the use Of
any public funds Including
some of my own tax money!
for any purpose beyond what
is necessary for the proper
and efficient conduct of the
city's affairs to the best bene-
fit Of all the people of the
city.

A year ago the Fort Davis
Citizens Association was
Joined by the Federation of
Citizens Associations in their
insistence to Congress and
the District Commissioners
upon the need for a Metro
politan Regional Housing
Authority. The urgency of
this need centered around the
imminent displacement of
thousands of low and mid
dle-income families by the
construction of the Inner
Loop and the network of free
ways planned for the central
city.
On November II the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission acted to commit US
to an extension of the Inner
Loop program, of primary
benefit to Suburbia, without
more than a casual look at
the problem this poses for
the District of Columbia,
where practically all the pub
lie housing units for the en-
tire metro area are concen-
trated on our ever-dwindling
supply of taxable land.
What kind of planning is
this? And what has become
of the proposal for a Re-
gional Housing Authority
which generated so much
publicity and support a year
ago as a means of distribut-
ing this load? Well, I can
answer the second question.
The matter was referred by
the Congressional commit
tees on District affairs to
the Washington Metropolitan
Regional Conference, which,

carefully razored off so as

and pleasure to us all.

times have we heard, year in

refrain. please wait behind

This may result from slow
judging, not enough judges,
too many cocktails at the
judges luncheon, or failure
of the respective chairmen to
get the show ready for the
judges, many of whom come
long distances, for free. and
whose only recompense is the
satisfaction of a job well
done.
Throughout each year our
fervent wish recurs: Will the

PARIS.

AIk4Js
On the eve of Chancellor
Adenauer's departure for
Washington there are some
faint intimations of a new
flexibility in Germany's at
titude toward Russia and the
possibility of negotiations on
Berlin.
1t would be wrong to read
too much into the scraps of
evidence that have turned
up so far. But the mysterious
activities of the German Am
baSsador in Moscow, urgent
last-minute consultations in
Bonn and a hurried visit to
Paris by a high-ranking Of
ficial of the Foreign Ministry
all suggest that something
out Of the ordinary is in the
wind.
Though much still remains
to be learned about the talk
in Moscow between Ambas-
sador Hans Kroll and Premier
Khrushchev, it now seems
that it was a good deal more
important than officials in
Bonn and elsewhere have
made it appear. 1t also now
seems that whether it was
authorized by the Bonn gov
ernment or not the talk has
figured prominently in the
discussions which Chancellor
Adenauer has been holding
with his chief advisers.
On the basis of late re-
ports from Bonn, it is learned
that Mr.. Khrushchev him
self took the initiative in
suggesting that the time had
come for a new phase in
Russian-G erm a n relations.
His suggestions for a rap
prochement between Bonn
and Moscow to Mr.. Kroll fol-
low earlier rumors of an in
vitation to Mr.. Adenauer to
visit the Russian capital. Mr..
Khrushchev apparently wa S
receptive to some of the ideas
that the Ambassador, speak
ing on his own, threw out as
possible grounds for negoti-
alton on Berlin.
Keen Interest Indicated
1t also is reported that Mr..
Adenauer has shown a keen
interest in the whole Incl
dent. Since his return to Bonn
on Tuesday Mr.. Kroll has
spent long hours in consulta-
ton with the Chancellor. Far
from being in disgrace, as
some were led to suppose, he
seems to be one Of Mr.. Ade-
nauer's chief advisers in pre-
pairing for the Chancellor's
trip to Washington next week.
Yesterday Mr.. Adenauer
told reporters that Mr.. Kroll
had committed no indiscre-
tions and would be returning
to his Moscow post.

Hiqh Cost of Music

I'd hardly term $44 for a

If the Symphony Association
can set aside a large block of
seats for students and serv-
icemen at a reduced rate, it
can do the same for retired
people who only have a lin
tied income.
