II develops, was incomplete.
Is it asking too much that they
first ascertain all the facts before
they launch savage attacks on any
public figure, let alone a man of
Murrow's character?
The wisecracks about how we'll
Murrow had served the nation I'M
til he went on the federal payroll
were not terribly amusing. Nor did
the American Civil Liberties Union
demonstrate its usual restraint and
mature judgment by plunging into
the dispute barely "a hours after
the first stories appeared.
After all the Page One headlines
it now turns out that it was not
Murrow's idea to call BIC, but
that the idea originated among
some bureaucrats in the State
Dept. And there also apparently
was some pressure from The White
House. Jack Gould Of The New
York Times reports, belatedly, that
Murrow may have been the obedi-
ent soldier in the ranks"
Murrow himself is not without
responsibility for bringing down
the wrath of the self-righteous.
But when his action is analysed
what really develops is merely that
he was nervous, as anyone un-
familiar with the ways Of Wash
ington politics Is likely to be.
The powers of a United States
Senator, in this case Spessard Hol-
land Of Florida, often seem limit
less. Holland was critical of the
Murrow documentary because it
showed unfavorably the conditions
of migrant workers. Murrow got
jumpy, possibly because he knew
some Of its shortcomings.

stated the plight Of the migrants.
However, I have seen the workers
and I doubt their plight could be
exaggerated
HAND THE MAN - No one
energies from this episode looking
exactly brilliant, but it seems to
me the Murrow critics look espec-
tally shabby.
Why it Is necessary in the news
paper business, or any business, to
condemn a man before ascertain
ing all the facts? Is it some COM
pulsive act? Must all the grim
critics feel betrayed" because a
hero has made a mistake? Does
this one act Of Ed Murrows mean
that his are feet of clay? Does
this negate all the fine reporting
he has done?
The whole incident is sickening
because the shril critics, much
more than Murrow, have dealt an
almost irreparable blow to the
agency which is supposed to ex-
press the Voice Of America. Amer
lean writer's have said, in effect,
that the toad, not the eagle, Is the
symbol of this nation.
They have also made it easy for
all critics to begin taking pot
shots at Murrow. Even under ideal
circumstances the Murrow assign
ment was not easy. But now with
everyone making him the target,
it is ten times harder.
All this unrestrained abuse
makes me wonder how some coll
umnists think Of their work. Is it
a critics job to destroy?

Legislator Urges
Tennessee Name
For KIineIe Road

A Representative from Ten
nessee has asked District Off
Gals to change the name of
Klingle road to Tennessee ave-
nue..
Represen a tive Evins, a
Democrat, believes that the
present Tennessee avenue,
which runs from Lincoln park
to Fifteenth street NE, does
not really do his State justice,
officials said.
Klingle road is both long
enough and attractive enough
to carry the name of Tennes-
see, he believes. Klingle road
runs from Thirty-fourth street
to Park road NV.
Mr.. Evins, in his request to
city officials, noted that the
city has a Klingle street, and
said that his proposed name
change would eliminate con-
fusion.
At a Commissioners meet
ing today, Francis F. Healy,
city surveyor. suggested that if
Klingle road is renamed Ten
nesSee avenue, chen the pres
ent Tennessee avenue might be
renamed Columbus avenue.
The Commissioners decided
to weigh the question at a pub
lie hearing November IT.

New Uses for
Burnt Mills Plant

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission today or
dered its staff to explore meth
-ods of using its recently aban-
doned filtration plant at Burnt
Mills on Colesville road.
The plant includes two two
story brick pumping stations
which could easily be converted
into office buildings. Chief En-
gineer Robert j. Mcleod told
the commission.
The commission suggested
that the buildings might be
used as a Montgomery County
payment office. The present
office, in Silver Spring, costs
the commission $4,000 in rental
fees. The lease on the present
office expires at the end of this
year.
Mr.. Mcleod said his staff is
considering proposals of selling
pumping equipment and other
machinery at the site. The
plant, constructed in 1886,
ceased operation last summer
when the commissions Potomac
plant went into operation.

When the CLINT Of silver was
caught by the car headlights.
the boys quickly parked and re-
trieved about three dozen
knives, forks and spoons. The
silver had been lying in the
street such a short time that
none of it had been run over by
passing traffic.
The youths took the I'M
usual find directly to Mont
gomery police headquarters in
Rockville and sought out De-
tective Corpl. Gabriel Lamastra,
who was the Carusos' summer
next-door neighbor. They ex-
planned where they found the
silver, and turned it over to
Corpl. Lamastra.
Early yesterday, a new en-
-ploye of the county's Public
Works Department, Richard
Lynch of IA Maxim lane, Rock

In Park Killing Case.

Ask Indictment

Prince Georges County Police
plan to ask a grand jury later
this month for a murder in
dictment against Melvin Davis

two girls in Lane Manor Park
on June Is, 1855.
Exactly when officials go be-
fore the grand jury depends on
when murder charges against
Rees are finally disposed of at
Spotsylvania, Va.
The Hyattsville jazz musician
was sentenced to death there
last week on a charge of killing
Carroll V. Jackson. The court
appointed attorneys for Rees
filed a motion for a new trial.
Earlier Rees had been SEN
fenced to life imprisonment by
a Federal judge in Baltimore
in the Staying of two other
members of the Jackson family.
Prosecutor Asks Delay
Prince Georges County States
Attorney William L. Kahler
today said he was not taking
the case before the grand jury
now at the request of the prose-
cutor in SpotSylvania.
The Virginia prosecutor feared
that news of the Lane Manor
killing might influence a new
Rees trial, if the motion is
granted.
The October Prince Georges
grand jury convened yesterday,
then adjourned and is not ex-
pected to return until October
90.
Any presentment before the
jury on the Lane Manor killing
will come after that date, or
whenever judicial proceedings in
the Rees case in Virginia have
ended, Mr.. Kahler said.

Cured as the two girls, Michael
Ann Ryan. IA, and Nancy
Marie Shomette, Is, walked
through the wooded park near
their home west of the Uni
versity of Maryland. They were
killed by shots from a %
caliber Marlin rifle, county
police said. The rifle was never
found.
Prince Georges detectives
have talked to Rees on several
occasions, both when he was
awaiting trial in Baltimore
and while confined in Rich
mond waiting for the trial that
brought him the death SEN
tence.
County Police Chief George
j. Panagoulis said today his
department has been thinks
ing" about asking for an in
dictment against Rees.
1t was learned that police
for more than a month have
been considering such action
but held it up pending the
outcome of the trial in Spotsyl-
vania.
Chief Panagoulis refused to
elaborate on the type of evil

cation police have looked for
