Harmony Needed

The recent dispute between the two prospective
top officials of the Mass Transportation Agency
augurs i'll for the cooperative spirit which this Vi
tally important governmental body must depend for
its success.
The abrupt decision of Joe Matthews to withdraw
his name from Senate consideration as assistant adj
mnistrator raises doubts the ability of c. Darwin
Stozenbach, the Presidents nominee for admnistra
tor, to disregard his own desires in the interest Of
overall hamony.
Matthews repeatedly declined the appointment be-
cause Stolzenbach refused to honor agreement in
which the two men would have joint authority
selection of personnel We aren't such agree
ment was wise move but if it were made it should
have been honored
A resident of Kensington, Stolzenbach has long
been controversial figure in Montgomery County
governmental affairs AS president of citizens plan
ming group, he bitterly attacked the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning Commission and
urged repeatedly that the agency be dissolved
He also opposed the dominant Democratic poit-
ical faction and unsuccessfuy sought election to the
County Council on platform based largely on his
adamant opposition to accepted procedures for the
orderly development of the county
Since the establishment of successful mass
transit system must be geared closely to competent
and orderly planning there is distinct relationship
between his views on planning and the proposed
transit system.
Thus if Stolzenbach is confirmed by the Senate,
its understandable that his position would be viewed
with a good deal of skeptcism by the very people
whom he criticized SO severely only few years ago.
We reluctant to pass final judgment on Stolen
bach at this time But his reputation for unbendng
non-compromse and now his disagreement with Mat
thews-so serious that Matthews resigned before Off
ciay appointed-lead to the belief that Stolen
bachs nomination by the President is not in the best
interest of the harmony and spirit of cooperation so
sorely need if effective transit system is to
become reality.

will not hesitate to club us
into submission if they once

1t would be folly to buster

Alsop, now in Laos, has ex-

that there are only three alter

By The Way

The crisis in Laos this week
overhangs all the news and
makes local problems like re-
apportionment seem pretty in
significant. The best sugges-
ton we can offer to propo-
nents If Tax Protest" move
ment as outlined last week
would be to defer action until
next year. The time remaining
in 1861 Is too short to analyze
its possible effectiveness or to
mobilize the mass support pre-.
requisite for success.
The Laotian crisis has to be
handled by President Kennedy,
but the mobilization of public
support for a firm policy is the
responsibility of all of u.s.. u
timately every American must
ask himself a very searching
question and a majority must
come up with an affirmative
answer if we expect our Presi-
dent to back up his threats
with force. Are we willing to
risk nuclear war and actually
engage in it If forced by events
that could result from taking
a firm stand in Laos, South
Vietnam or Berlin? There is
much confusion on this point
and there are many forces
working to weaken our re-
solve.

SANKEY'S brother gets

friends, James Smart, writes
an interesting column called

following:

which included the statement,
