Pans Montgomery County Planners

Failure Of the five-member
Montgomery County. Plan
ming Board to do its job of
producing a sound master
plan is brought home by the
County Councils rejection of
its three area plans.
Rising taxes, crowded
schools, traffic congestion,
vanishing open space, and
the wasteful destruction of
the countryside bear witlless
to the inadequacy of our
planning. Now the contro-
versy between the council and
its planning board threatens
even to hamper the growth
of the county along the out
moded established pattern of
planned sprawl"
The county council, as the
elected representatives Of the
people, is right in principle
on its claim to establish basic
planning policy. The plan
ming board has the duty to
prepare and adopt master
plans in accordance with the
basic policy directiveS of the
council. The council is right
in requesting reconsideration
Of plans when they do not
have community acceptance,
nor do they present desired
goals or practical means Of
achievement" ard in request

A Look at the Record

Vice President Johnson chose an
appropriate theme for the speeches he
has made in recent days in Philadelphia
and New York. It was, in effect, "let'S
look at the record" of how the United
States and its partners in the free world
really have been doing in the troubled
years since the end Of World War II.
What he found, and his reporting
was accurate, was an impressive list of
accomplishments economic recon-
struction of friends and former enemies
that had suffered most in that greatest
Of wars, the protection and the strength
ening of political freedoms in many,
countries that have been targets of
Communist aggression, and the gradual
development of cooperative security
systems and forces that stand at most
points Of danger as an effective deter
rent to Communist military attack. On
that record, too, Mr.. Johnson found
and acknowledged major setbacks-in
mainland China, North Wet Nam and
Cuba, for example-but there is validity
IN his contention that there is a tend
ency in some quarters to magnify every
Communist success while minimizing
our own.
1t was, perhaps, to prod this minority
who react "to fear and frustration," to
renew their confidence that there is far
greater strength in freedom than in the
slave status imposed by totalitarianism,
that Mr.. Johnson chose this time to
review the score. AS he pointed out,
even if there are some among our own
people whose perspective currently is
out of focus or who are Understanding
the power of the free world, it is unlikely
that the leaders of the Soviet Union are
guilty of the same error Certainly we
should and we can, as a Nation, hold
our own strength in this same respect.

Time for This Test

IL is nOC a DlC 100 soon Tor legal
test Of the right of labor unions to fine
their members for such work practices
as over production. Accordingly, Stuart
Rothman, general counsel of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, is to be
commended for his decision to initiate
complaint against local of the United
Auto Workers for attempting to force
collection Of fines levied by the union
against four employees found guilty" of
exceeding union production standards.
In brief, the background of the case
Is this: Certain employees of a Wis
consin motor company, being paid on
a piece-work basis, found that they
could produce more in normal working
day than was specified in union-dic-
tated quota schedule. This meant, too,
that they could earn more, but when they
engaged in this over-diligence at their
work benches the UAW local promptly
found them guilty Of violating union
rules and imposed fines The fact that
four Of the workers have refused to pay
the fines has led through various steps
to the NLRB decision to test the union
action. This is not, it might be added,
an isolated case OF this kind. In an
nouncing his decision to take action,
Mr.. Rothman said others have come to
light with some frequency"
In the Wisconsin case, the NLRB
announcement says the fine will have
the reasonably foreseeable effect of
discouraging employees from meeting the
employers production requirements and
force them, in effect, to engage in a
showdown. 1t points out, too, that it
would enable the union to enforce pro-
duction standards not established
through collective bargaining. In turn,
the employe, who seems to be in the
middle in more ways than one, could be
subject to discipline by the employer
for failing to meet production norms
While the whole business sounds so
abSurdly upside-down as to be out
rageous, Mr.. Rothman does point out
that the union action is taken under a
section Of the Taft-Hartley law per-
m1tting labor organization "to pre-
scribe its own rules with respect to the
acquisition or retention of membership"
Even though it is unlikely that the
drafterS of this section foreSaw that it
might be stretched to the extreme
noted, it has not been fully tested in
litigation. Although the NLRB in the
past has approved certain categories of
union fines, a recent u S. Court of
Appeals decision opened the way to the
present move when it said that "coercive
action, whether by way of fine, dis
charge or otherwise, which deprives a
(union) member Of his right to work
and his employer of the benefit of his
services, cannot be said to relate only
to the internal affairs of the union"
1t is Mr.. Rothman's contention that
issuance Of complaint and the full
course of litigation which presumably
will follow are necessary to establish
the "clear" meaning of the law in this
area.
We hope that the pending procedure
will do so, and on the side of common
sense about letting man do his days
work without threat of punishment by
his own union.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Test-Boring of Eorth|s Top Layers
By THOMAS r. HENRY

An experimental hole now
has been bored through the
two top layers of the earth's
crust under the sea to a
depth of close to three kilo-
meters.
This is reported by DR.
Willard Bascom, technical di-
rector of Project Mohole OF
the National Academy of Sci
enceS. probably the most am
bilious scientific exploit
short of putting a man on
the moon now planned in
this country. In some re-
spects it appears to be the
more difficult. of the two.
The ultimate objective is to
bore completely through the
crust, almost seven miles, to
the underlying original sur
face of the planet when it
was consolidated out of space
debris 5 or 6 billion years
ago.
Sediment Mile Thick
The first experimental
drillings have been made un-
der approximately 10000 feet
of water off rugged Guada-
lupe Island, in Mexican wa
tiers about $50 miles south
of San Diego. They have been
made successfully from the
tossing deck of an un-
anchored ship in water with
waves IL feet high. In gen.
eral, DR.. Bascom says, they
seem to support the feaSibil-
ity of the far deeper drill
ings contemplated in the next
few years.
The first layer consists of
sediments from the Ian d
which. have piled up on the
sea bottom during the past
few billion years. 1t is roughly
a mile thick. The second is
a layer of basaltic rock, about
two kilometerS thick. Below
this, still unpenetrated, are
two other crust layers, dis
tinguishable by the changing
speeds of earthquake waves
through them, before the
basic surface of the planet
is reached.
While the experiments to
date have been preliminary,
Dr. Bascom says, scientif-
ically they have more than
paid for themselves and sup
ported the glittering promises
OF the larger project. First
they have revealed the shall
lowness of the sedimentary
layer which, for the ages dur

the Constitution. And If he
should survive for two terms,
Teddy Kennedy, at a. years
of age, would be in line also
for the White House. This all
sounds fantastic in the
United States, and like a fig
ment of the imagination. But
that is the kind of gossip
that crops up in the Bay
State. So far as the Presidents
former Senate seat is con-
cerned, it would be possible,
should the Kennedy's deem
it unWise to run the youngest
male member of the family,
to substitute Attorney Cen
eral Robert Kennedy for the
Democratic nomination.
Republican Entries
Young George Lodge, who
has had seven years serv-
ice in the Department of
Labor, has a possible OPP
ponent for the Republican
senatorial nomination-Rep-
resentative F. Bradford
Morse, 40 years old, who
was elected last year to sue
ceed the late Edith Nourse
Rogers from the Lowell dis
trict. Mr.. Morse is being put
forward for the nomination
by Republicans who say that
thus the G. o. P. would get
away from the dynasty issue,
and that Mr.. Morse would be
the poor mans candidate
against a rich mans Ken
nedy. Also, Republican Gov.
John A. Volpe is a sleeper"
a possible contender for the
senatorial nomination. Gov.
Volpe, of Italian blood, won
election in 1860 when Presi-
dent Kennedy was carrying
the State in overwhelming
fashion. He is expected to seek
denomination or go for the
Senate.
On the Democratic side of
the senatorial fence is the
incumbent appointed last De-
cember to fill the Kennedy
Seat-Benjamin A. Smith II,
a personal friend OF the Presi-
dent and who, like JFK,
served in the Navy during
the Second World War. Sen
ator Smith has not said he
will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself nor that he will
not. He is going about the
State protecting his own in
terests-and if neither Teddy
nor Bobby Kennedy should
make the race. he may do so.
Reports that the McCormacks
were angry because the Pres
ident did not give, the Senate
appointment to Edward Nc
Cormack are flatly denied
and also the reports that
there is or has been a feud
between the McCormacks
and the Kennedys.
AS things now stand, the
Massachusetts, senatorial race
next year should be a honey.
If the Kennedys want a SEN
atorial nomination for either
of the Presidents brothers,
they will have to fight for it.
For Edward Mccormack, it
is said, definitely will not be
a candidate for Governor
and he is just as definitely
a candidate for the senatorial
nomination. The saying goes
in Massachusetts, that the
Kennedys never go into a
fight unless they are sure
they will win. Since it was
President Kennedy'S win for
the Senate in 1852 over for
mer Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. jr., that gave him his
big chance on the way to the
White House, the whole State
will be on its toes if another
Lodge-Kennedy race for a
Senate seat develops.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Dynasty Dirty Word in Boy State
By GOULD LINCOLN

George Cabot Lodge, son
OF former United States SEN
ator and Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge and great grand
son Of the late Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, has broken the
ice in the hitherto widely un-
derstood but unofficial race
for the Senate seat once held
by President John F. Ken
nedy. The six-foot-five, "a
year-old Lodge has formally
announced his Republican
candidacy. 1t is anybody's
guess how soon he will be
followed into the senatorial
pool by either or both of his
prospective Democratic op-
ponents. 29-year-old Teddy
Kennedy, youngest brother of
the President, and Edward
(Eddie) j. McCorm ck,
the States attorney general
and nephew of Representa-
tive John Mccormack, slated
to be elected Speaker of the
House to succeed the late
Sam Rayburn. 1t may depend
upon a possible agreement
between the prospective
Speaker and the President
as to which of the two young
men is to have a more or
less clear road to the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination.
There has been speculation
that Edward Mccormack
could be prevailed upon-in
the right way, of course
to change his plans and run
for Governor, leaving the
senatorial nomination to the
Kennedys. But this is denied.
Mccormack. acting Speaker
and for years Democratic
floor leader in the House of
Representatives, it has been
accepted on all sides publicly,
is to be elected Speaker of the
House when that body as
sembles the first week in
January. There never has
been any particular love be-
tween Mr.. Mccormack and
the President, who was once
a very junior member of the
House. Also, some members
OF the Kennedy administra-
ton, it is reported, would pre-
fer another man for what has
been considered the second
most important office of the
Federal Government. 1t is ex,
tremely doubtful, however.
that the President, even if
he desired and used all his
influence. could bring about
the defeat of Mr.. Mccormack
for the office for which he
is in line.
Clash Could Split Party
Both the Kennedys and the
McCormackS are tenacious.
They do not give in easily.
If there is to be a battle be-
tween them over this sena-
torial nomination, it could
badly split the Democratic
ranks in Massachusetts. 1t
could give the Republican
Lodge a distinct advantage
in the general election in
November.
In the meantime dynasty"
Is becoming a dirty word in
Massachusetts. Is there to be
a Lodge dynasty-or a contin-
uation of a Lodge dynasty
or a Kennedy dynasty? How
many Kennedys in high Of
flee at the same time will the
voters of Massachusetts, take?
Already there is talk that
Attorney General Robert
Bobby Kennedy, also a
brother of the President, is
to be groomed to run for
President in 1868, when Presi-
dent Kennedy will be ineligible
because of the two presi-
