Clasps at Suburban Show

Stunning couturier leather de-
signs by Samuel Robert were
the highlight of the October Is
luncheon-fashion show present
ed by julius Garfinckel and Co.
for the Suburban Woman's Club
of Montgomery County. Nearly
$50 women were present at Ken

ions ranging from coffee coats
to dazzling ball gowns.
Sprinkled throughout the col
lection, "A Day in the Life of
the Suburban Woman" were
Mr.. Roberts unusual leather
outfits.
Black antelope suede with the
look and feel Of the finest velvet
was fashioned into a theater
suit with collar and cuffs of
white mink, a coat with a white
mink collar and a crystal and
rhinestone embroidered jacket
for cocktail time. A spectacu-
lar white leather decollete cock
tail sheath and jacket appliqued
in gold and beaded drew many
admiring gasps from the ladies
in the audience, as did a mag.
nificent leather coat printed in
Europe by a technique used in
printing antique bookbindings.
The coat had a collar of dark
ranch mink and was worn over
a topaz and gold three-dimen-
sional beaded chiffon formal
sheath designed by Branell.
Beautiful colors We're fea-
tured throughout the collection
brilliant sapphire blues, bit
tersweet "a lovely bright oran-
gey-red), and many shades of

One of the loveliest of the ball
gowns was a Frank Starr crea-
ton with a full skirt of palest
olive satin and a bodice of pale
olive chiffon beaded in gold.
Over 40 door prizes We're dis

A Fitting Game

It is good to note that the President
at long last, has permitted news photo
grapherS to take pictures of him on a
golf course. But he has done so with a
massive display of reluctance, and
apparently with a resolve to forbid
camera shots showing him swinging at
the little ball or even holding club in
his hand. Needless to say, Mr.. Kennedy
has right to such privacy If he wants
it, but Americans in general especially
those country -clubbers among us who
feel that the best things of life are to be
found on the links-are not likely to
understand just why he seems so touchy
about the matter.
After all, golf is thoroughly
fitting, respectable and historically
distinguished game. Why then be
furtive about 1t? Why shy away from
being photographed with a putter or
mashie in action2 What's there to be
ashamed Of? What's there to worry
about in political terms2 Has the sport
become liability as far as votes are
concerned? Is one to look upon it with
trepidation for that reason? OF course
not, Mr.. President. In this matter, as
in so many others, the only thing one
has to fear is fear itself-and Mr..
Eisenhower is still as popular as ever,
which Is very popular indeed.

There Is a Difference

Representative Kirwan of Ohio,
chairman of House appropriations sub
committee, told members of the National
Capital Planning Commission that he
could not see why Federal funds should
be used to help preserve stream valley
parks in the Washington Metropolitan
Area. He commented that his home
city, Youngstown, does not ask for
Federal aid for parks.
At the risk Of being repetitious-
for this is an old story-we would like
to remind Mr.. Kirwan that there is
difference between alloting Federal
money to help youngstown develop its
parks and lending this aid to nearby
Maryland and Virginia. The difference
is that Montgomery County, Arlington
County and Fairfax County are integral
parts Of the Metropolitan Area and

G. O. P. Forecast

A report put out by the Republican
National Committee contends that the
religious ISSUE" far from hurting him,
actually carried Mr.. Kennedy to victory
in the 1860 election.
OF course, it would be foolish to
attribute the election result to any one
factor. Many things went into the Ken
nedy victory-a diSproportionate share
Of the Negro and the Jewish vote, labor's
political activity the TV debates, etc.
Eliminate any one of these factors and
Mr.. Nixon probably would have won.
Still, an argument can be made for the
proposition that the Catholic vote, more
than any other single thing, tipped the
scales, and the G. o. P. report cites a
substantial statistical basis for this
belief.
The report also suggests, however,
that the Republican Party can look for
ward in 1864 to reclaiming many of the
Catholics who voted for Mr. Eisenhower
in 1855, and thereby forge G. o. P.
victory. The theory is that these Cath
olics voted for Mr. Kennedy to rub out
once and for all the belief that a mem
Der of their faith could not be elected
President, and that, having done this,
they will again support an attractive
Republican candidate.
This, to the extent that it can fairly
be read into the report, strikes us as
Wishful thinking raised to the nth de-
gree. For one thing, Mr. Kennedy has
been in office less than three months.
There is almost no basis on which one
can make a prediction as to voter at
titudes in 1854 Secondly, the attitude
Of Catholic voters in all probability will
be determined by the nature of Mr..
Kennedy's performance as President. If
he does a good job, there is no reason
under the sun to suppose that any ap-
preciable number of Catholics who voted
for him in 1860 will turn away from him
in 1864.

some Of our freedom because,
they say, it is necessary to do
so to combat communism. 1s
America so lost and afraid
Of freedom?
1t is a complex problem
that is posed and symbolized
by Laos, the Congo, Algeria
and Berlin. But our essential
task is simple. We cannot
permit any group-Commun-
lists, Klans, court defying
state councils, politicians,
Birch Societies or any similar
organizations and individuals
to persuade or frighten us
into abandoning our consti-
tutional rights and guaran-
tees of personal liberty. If
we do that, then we lose what
makes our system superior
to communism or fascism.
Shall Americans permit
Americans to tutor them in
totalitarianism?
The theology and myths of
communism cannot be shot
down with guns or bombs.
Ideas do not die in such a
contest. What we have to
offer in this country is free
dom and opportunity. We
cannot win uncommitted
peoples by initiating the
Communists or Fascists. What
sort of leadership can a free
people offer if they become
afraid of freedom and limit it?
We are in a period Of great
testing. History is moving
faster than ever before. 1t is
not trite so to say. We have,
in less than two decades,
produced atomic power and
broken through the confine-
ment of earth's powerful pull
of gravity. We have learned
to go out of it and re-enter
it, in a. sort of ''in and out
the window" game of mis-
siles and satellites in orbit.
What is the test and what
the national goal? None can
improve on the words spoken
by Lincoln at Gettysburg. We
can, however, change one
word of it.
Nov we are engaged in a
great Cold War, testing
whether that nation, or any
nation, so conceived and so
dedicated, can long en-
dure. :"
There is less margin for
error today than in the years
OF the cannon and the mus
ket, less than in the time of
the automatic carbines, the
Flying Fortresses and the
great armada which gathered
to invade a Europe held by a
man who believed in short
cuts and an end to free gov
ernment.

Wrong Approach

The Fairfax County Board OF Super
visors may have good reason to dis
agree with some of the decisions Of the
Washington Metropolitan Regional Sani-
tary Board, but they went too far in
demanding abolishment of the regional
group. There is need for such an inter
jurisdictional advisory group on river
pollution problems. While 1t may be too
much to expect the groups decisions to
please all jurisdictions represented, it
would be a mistake to disband 1t merely
because there is not always regional
unanimity over all of its recommended
tons
Some Fairfax County officials have
been severely critical Of the Sanitary
Board for what they regard as its
tendency to favor Federal and District
policies on pollution abatement. They
objected particularly to the boards
approval of shore route for the new
Dulles Airport interceptor sewer-a
route they believed would not ade-
quately serve the needs Of Fairfax
County.
The Sanitary Board was set up by

disposal and water safeguarding prob
lens of the area. Both the conference
and the board are composed of
governmental representatives from the
various counties and municipalities of
the Metropolitan Area. They are
striving to bring about more effective
teamwork by all Jurisdictions in matters
mutually affecting them. To abolish
either body, or for Fairfax County to
pull out Of either one, would be to
revert to the nco-ordinated, hap
