With the Wind has been
one Of our most popular
books this summer with the
younger readers"
Teen age reading this
summer apparently has re-
flected that typical senti-
ment of youth-impatient
anticipation of the years Just
ahead.
Evening star., 1961-09-08

Today's teen-agers have
outgrown teen-age novels.
They're reading more seri-
GUS and mature novels now
frequently the same books
their parents read-from the
standard best-seller lists.
The overwhelming favorite
among area teen-agers this
summer has been a book
their parents read and re-
read Is years ago-"Gone
With the Wind" Libraries
couldn't order extra copies
fast enough to meet the
demand.
The popularity of Marga-
ret Mitchell's modern-day
classic is due in part, of
course, to the successful re-
release of the movie and the
Civil War Centennial. But
there's more to it than that.
1t reflects a change in the
reading tastes of teen-agers.
Area librarians have
watched this change take
place.
I'm the last couple of
years. teen-agers have been
asking for more serious
books for their summertime
reading" observes Miss Ju-
liet Weitzel, young adult
supervisor for the District
Public Libraries.
And this hange has
caused a long-standing rec
ord to be toppled. For more
than Is years, the most pop
ular book at the District
Library's young adult section
was Seventeenth Summer"
a teen-age romance novel by
Maureen DAILY.
This sum m er. however,
Gone With the Wind" not
only topped the popularity
list in the District, but it
was at or near the top in
every public library in the
Washington area.
The traditional junior
novels, such as Seventeenth
Summer" are still popular,
of course. But most teen
ayers already have read them
during their pre-teen years.
In fact. many libraries are
moving them to the chill
dren'S shelves.
Our teens have passed
the junior novel level. We've
put those books in the lower
section" says Mrs. Eleanor
Furbush. the young adult
librarian at Wheaton, Md.
The teen-agers now are
reading the best of the regu-
lar adult books. And there's
not a doubt in anybody's
mind that Gone With the
Wind is on top. We've
bought extra copies and still
can't keep it on the shelf"
Miss Weitzel says, THE
younger readers want the
teen-age stories, and that's
why we've moved them to
the children's room. But
when they get into high
school, teen-agers tend to do
more serious reading - and
not just from the school
reading lists, either"

To 'Sweeten' the Seas

Not only our own country, but the
entire world has reason to cheer Presi-
dent Kennedy'S plan for redoubling
Of American efforts to achieve break
through in the field of discrimination
breakthrough that would convert or
"sweeten" the salty oceans and the
brackiSh rivers and bays Of the earth
into water fit for human consumption
and for agricultural and industrial uses.
Certainly, as the President has
declared, "if we could ever competitively,
at a cheap rate, get fresh water from
salt water" the achievement in terms
Of its long grange benefits to humanity,
would be far more significant that
things like manned orbital flight, There
can be no doubt about that. AS far as
the United States is concerned, for ex-
ample, we must reckon right now with
actual and prospective freshwater
shortages that threaten to become
critical in the relatively near future,
and the outlook is much worse In many
other lands.
The seriousness of this situation can
hardly be exaggerated. Our country
now uses over 300 billion gallons Of water
a day, and its needs are expected to
be double that amount by 1880. Ac-
cordingly, as Mr.. Kennedy has put it
in a recent message to Congress, nothing
sis of greater long-range Importance
for relief not only Of our shortages, but
for arid nations the world over-than
our efforts to find an effective and
economical way to convert water from
the worlds greatest, cheapest natural
resourceS-our oceanS-into water fit
for consumption In the home and by
industry. Such breakthrough would
:. bring new hope for millions who live
out their lives in dire shortage of usable
water" That is why the President has
pledged that American discrimination
knoW-how, as soon as 1t is acquired for
effective application, will "be made
available to every nation along with
appropriate technical and other assis-
tance for its USE"
AS to all this, the outlook appears
to be better than good. Five years or so
ago, the cost Of desalting sea water and
brackish water was around SIS per 1000
gallons. Since then it has been reduced
to about 81, and there is very strong
ground for the hope-especially now
that Mr.. Kennedy and key members Of
Congress are pressing for stepped-up
discrimination program-that this figure
will in due course, and perhaps rather
rapidly, be reduced to a point COM
petitive with what the average American
now pays for fresh water (between Is
and 40 cents per 1000 gallons).
In sum, the Presidents projected
program is aimed at achieving a de-
sailing process that will provide limit
less amount of potable water within
this price range for us and all other
peoples. Clearly, a breakthrough to

Wreckinq q Court

The bill which Representative Davis
finally has introduced in the House
would almost certainly destroy the Ju-
venile Court. 1t is notably inferior to
drafts" which have been under con-
sideration, and if the Nations Capital
ultimately is forced to choose between
this bill and nothing, it would be better,
we think, to haveNno bill.
The city of Washington, however,
should not be driven to this extremity.
Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman Of the House
District Committee, to which the Davis
bill has been referred, can save the
situation If he will. There Is no reason
why bill adding at least one Judge to
the Juvenile Court could not be reported
out and passed. Then, If there is any
thought that the Davis bill has merit,
it could be put to the test Of adequate
hearings which we are con-
f1dent would expose the destructive ma
ture of its proposals. Assuming the
contrary, however, the Davis bill would
not be prejudiced. Congress, if it sees At
after careful consideration, can always
enact into law the drastic changes
which it recommends.
Meanwhile, we hope that all men,
berS will study the Davis bill. For there
is danger that it may pass the House
as consequence Of indifference or un-
familiarity with its provisions. 1t is not
our contention that the existing juve-
nile setup is sacrosanct or beyond i'm
provement. But it would be a real
tragedy if the progress which has been
made and which is being made in deal
ing with the juvenile problem should
be wiped out through rash and ILL
considered legislative action.

No. ] Resource Problem

The swift House approval of the
bill to expand the Federal role in
cleaning up the rivers of the Nation is
good news. Last year, similar measure
ran into presidential veto. This time,
happier fate seems assured, especially
since President Kennedy already has
strongly advocated the same general
approach.
Nationally, If the Blatnik bill
becomes law, cities and States will be
eligible to receive Federal assistance
up to total appropriation of $1OO
million year--double the current
ceiling-to help finance their sewage
treatment and other anti-pollution
projects. Locally, this could mean an
increase of as much as $500,0OO a year
in the District Of Columbia share, funds
that are urgently needed to help pay
for the regional trunk sewers and
improved treatment facilities now on
the drawing boards. The metro area
also might benefit from a far-sighted
provision Of the new bill which offers
special incentives to projects conducted
co operatively by more than one
political jurisdiction, as many projects
in the Washington area are. Additionally,
it authorizes Stepped-up research on
water pollution in regions which in
clude, specifically, the Chesapeake Bay.
While direct Federal aid in this
field has been a reality since 1855, the
Eisenhower administration opposed in
creased aid on grounds that the
publication Of streams and rivers Is
primarily the responsibility of local
government. AS principle, this is
admirable, and the Blatnik bill, although
authorizing more money, preserves the
requirement that the Federal aid may
constitute no more than 80 per cent Of
the cost of any project.
But as the House debate brought
out, the assurance of an adequate
supply of water for the needs Of our
rapidly urbanizing national population
has become more than a local problem.
In terms of projected population growth
and Of the steadily increasing contain
ination Of our rivers, the water outlook
for the future has become the primary
resource problem Of the country. To
some, the corrective and preventive
measures now being proposed may seem
drastic; in the future, these same steps
may well seem to have been pitifully
feeble.

Not Contemptuous, but

Three Federal judges in Baltimore
have decided that a much-criticized
televiSion re-enactment Of jury deliber-
ationS in the Rees murder -kidnap trial
was not in contempt of court. However,
we heartily agree with their statement
that the show, staged by Baltimore
station, was against the public interest
and should not be repeated or initiated"
The TV production in effect took
the viewing audience into the jury room
to observe and hear the jurors Weighing
and debating the evidence on which
they convicted Melvin David ReeS in
the deaths of Mrs. Mildred Jackson and
her five-year-old daughter, Susan, In
1859. Nine of the IL jurors in the Rees
trial took part in the discussions. The
show was broadcast on the eve Of the
sentencing of Rees by the trial Judge.
The three judges who considered
the contempt question ruled that no
contempt Of the court was involved,
since the performance took place out
side the courtroom and in a manner
that did not disturb the court. They
juStifiably condemned such shows, how
ever, and even suggested the possibility
of disciplinary proceedings" against
counsel for the TV station by the
Maryland Bar Association. Certainly
any re-enactment Of what goes on
behind the locked doors of a Jury room
Is contrary to the traditions of our jury

Virqinio's Time Mixup

We sympathize with transportation
interests, travellers and many of the
citizens in Virginia as they face day
light-Saving time hodgepodge of the
most bewildering sort. More COM
munities will be on fast time" there
this summer than ever before-but the
clock-changing has followed no orderly
pattern. Some people went on day
light time voluntarily, some were forced
to go on 1t through an unexpected legal
quirk and others will stay on standard
time regardless of trends or advice
Nearby Virginia always has con-
formed to the daylight-saving schedule
in Washington, and few other towns
and cities have adopted the system In
recent years. AS the popularity Of the
plan has grown. more interest in the
change-over has been shown throughout
the State. Last year the General
Assembly granted Norfolk's request
that 1t be permitted to adopt daylight
time this summer. The statute was
so carefully worded as to population
provisions that, on the basis of estimated
population figures, it would apply only
to Norfolk. The 1860 census figures
upset the plan, however. Norfolk no
longer can qualify under the law for
daylight time-but Richmond can.
So, as of this week, Richmond, not
Norfolk, has moved its clocks ahead one
hour-along with score or more of
other municipalities and a dozen
counties. A motorist travelling from

100 Years AGO

A carnival air was injected
into the doleful drama of
troops marShaling here for
war a century ago. The light
note was provided by the
Fire zouaves of New York,
commanded by Col. Elmer E.
Ellsworth, "a, who was to be-
come the first commissioned
officer to die from a Confed-
crate bullet. Ellsworth had
clerked and studied IN Abra-
ham Lincoln's Springfield,
ILL.,, law office. He became a
favorite Of the Lincoln fam
lily and came to Washington
with them. Having previous
ly organized and toured the
country with a drill team
called the Chicago Zouaves,
Ellsworth went to New York
when the Civil War started
and banded together a sim
liar outfit, to fight, not drill.
The Star reported on May
3, 1861: The Fire Zouaves
Of New York (recruited from
the ranks of volunteer fire
mem arrived here last night,
numbering 1,100 men.
Their reception here on the
part Of the citizens and mill
tary was most enthusiastic.
Their uniform consists
of a gray jacket. trimmed
with blue and red cord, gray
pants and red shirt, red cap
with blue band, and regula-
ton overcoat. (Such a uni
form was popularized by a
Berber military group raised
by the French Army in AL
geria 80 years before.) They
are all armed with Sharp'S
breech-loading rifles, worth
$67 apiece, and huge bowie
knives, which can be at
tached to the muzzles of their
rifles. From the rail-
road depot the Zouaves
marched up Pennsylvania
avenue to be reviewed by the
President. AS they passed
the north portico of the
White House, Mr.. Lincoln,
accompanied by the Secre-
tary of State . stepped out
upon the graveled carriage
way to get a nearer view of
the brave firemen. The
President was evidently not
q little amused by the hearty
rim with which the zouaveS
delivered their cheers.
