Vanishing Streetcors

The wrecking of the Mount
Pleasant streetcar line is
merely one more outrage in
a long series of economic
crimes perpetrated for the
profit of the vehicular traf-
fic-makers. Having success
fully engineered the Swindle.
the traffic-makers can now
afford to wax whimsical
about the passing of an era.
Whatever else may have
passed, it is clear that the
era of the gangster has not
passed.
In relation to the move
ment of persons, the giant
freeway is the most inflex-
ible of all urban transport
systems. In relation to the
movement of persons, street
railway operation is far more
flexible in cities than ex-
preSsways. Thus, because it
is their foremost rival, the
vehicular traffic-makers have
consistently singled out the
streetcar for liquidation. The
Congressional studies empha-
sized the Importance of al
lowing all forms of trans
port to develop their maxi
mum potential. In Wash
ington, the traffic-makerS
have moved with lightning
speed to Stifle street railway
operation in the cradle of
its modern development.
Their strategy is transpar-
ent. Behind a gaudy false
face of pseudoscience, the
traffic-makers busily prepare
a fait accompli.
Minimum highway eff
cheney demands arterial in
flexibility. In order to move
large numbers of space-con-
Suming vehicles, the freeway
must take on the character
istics of a rigid-walled tun-
mel. severely curtailing exit,
egreSS, and even vehicular
hesitation. Geared to the
movement of vehicles and
not persons, the freeway can
not afford the luxury of
frequent stops. intersections
and switchoff points can con-
sumo as much as 100 acres
of valuable urban land.
Rigid inflexibility alone
enables the urban freeway
to accommodate its vehicles.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Johnson Coils Foreign Policy Strong
By GOULD LINCOLN

grabbed the nations of East
ern Europe as spoils of war.
Red armies were encamped
deep in the heart of Germany
and Austria. Greece, Tlr-
key and Iran were in i'm
minent peril. The Com
munists were able to act ag-
greSSively under their lead
ers. They were on the
borders of the states which
they took over. We were
thousands of miles away.
Nevertheless, Mr.. johnson
pointed out, we were able to
checkmate them at every
point in Europe and the
Near East. Today the nations
of free Europe are strong
again, militarily and eco
nomically, with our aid. He
listed the $3,750O00, 900 loan
to-Britain program, the Tru-
man doctrine which saved
Greece and Turkey; the
Marshall Plan, shooting new
life-blood into Europe; the
Berlin airlift which saved
that city; the creation of the
North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization, which has grown
stronger and stronger, and
the war in Korea, where we
stopped the Communists in
their tracks.
Setbacks for Reds
The Communists, Mr.. John
son continued, have launched
six revolutions in Southeast
Asia since the end of World
War Two-in the Philippines.
in Burma, in Thailand, in
India, in Laos and in Wet
Nam. Only in the last, he
said, could they chim a
partial success. And he said:
Communist plots to take over
Iran. Iraq. Lebanon, Guate-
mala and many other coun-
tries were complete failures.
The setbacks the free world
has suffered, the Vice Presi-
dent listed as mainland
China, now under Com
munist rule, North Wet Nam
and Cuba. He made no effort
to minimize these setbacks,
but insisted the score still
vastly rests with the United
States and the free world.
With unity in this country
and in the free world, the
Communists cannot prevail.
Referring to American
foreign policy, the Vice Presi-
dent said he did not under
stand why there should be
any misunderstanding. Our
course" he said, has been
hammered out under three
administrations, represent
ing both political parties, for
more than a decade"
Discussing the situation in
the Western Hemisphere, he
said: THE Organization Of
American States is a notable
example of regional interde-
pendence. The Communists
had hoped to destroy this
unity of the Americas
through the work of sub
versive groups, which looked
to Castro'S Cuba for leader
ship. Instead, Cuba stands
virtually isolated within the
hemisphere, and the Ameri-
can countries are working
together in a common and
growing dedication to free
dom"
This last statement of the
Vice observation-disclosures to
Latin American unity, ap-
parently on Castro--has still
to be fulfilled. But President
Kennedy has taken a much
desired leadership, with his
dispatch of a large naval
task force to Dominican Re-
public waters, which may be
really fruitful. Presumably,
he will not take too seriously
his latest appointed ad-
wiser on Latin American sf-
fairs, Chester Bowles.

York, carried messages of
courage and hope to the
American people and to the
free world-and at the same
time answered those people,
wherever located, who react
to fear and Illustration"
These last, he said. magnify
every Communist success, no
matter how slight, and shut
their eyes to every free world
success, no matter how
great" Giving the American
people and the last three
administrations Republican
as well as Democratic) full
credit, the Vice President de-
tailed the score of free world
successes under the leader
ship of this country, and
those of the Communist bloc.
This score, covering the last
16 years since the close of
the Second World War,
shows how the Communists
have been checked and
thwarted in their attempts
at aggression. 1t is an i'm
preSsive list of victories, far
flung. His remarks in New
York criticizing the Reds
prompted the walkout of So
Wet Ambassador Valerian
Zorin.
While he took a shot at
the. Goldwater demand for a
declaration of a new ma
tional policy" with its objec-
tive total victory" the Vice
Presidents whole tone was
that we are winning out in
the contest with world COM
m un Ism. I'VE are not
doomed" he said, "in my
judgment, to an eternity of
cold war. We do face a
period-which may be long
that will test our fortitude
and our wisdom as they
never have been tested be-
fore. But, united under the
banner of freedom, We will
march forward to a world i'll
which men will be truly free
and the dark shadows of
tyranny will be banished
from the earth"
If Mr.. Johnson's forecast
proves true, it comes about
as close to total victory" as
anything human can. At
the same time, he declared
he was not aware that this
or any preceding administra-
ton has been committed to
defeat" He added that "if
the adherents of this new
policy (total victory mean
we should declare war
against the Soviet Union, let
them state their case fully
and frankly to the American
people,"

quest" And stronger today

Glovers Need to Stop
March of Police Club
BY DICK O'BRIEN
star staff Writer

Although the tournament is
still in its early stages. the move
Friday night at Capitol Arena
will be to stop the march Of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club
team toward the subnovice and
senior team championships in
the second round of The Star
sponsored Golden Gloves tour
nament.
AS was expected, the Police
Club showed early strength in
both the subnovice and senior
ranks in last Friday nights
first round of action, advancing
four Of the five boys who COM
peted.
Coached by John Sneed, who
is being aided by Willie Wood,
the Police Club is defending
both the senior and subnovice
team championships, but the
road appears much rougher
this year.
For example. the new Hill
crest Heights Boys Club,
coached by Humphrey De Cola,
is very much in the running
with two fine performers in
Danny Hildebrand and Darryl
Cain.
Twelfth Street Y Factor
The Twelfth Street Y group
will definitely be a factor, too,
at least in the subnovice ranks.
The "Y" boys, under Zeke
Williams. are better than ever
before.
Still another contender for
the novice team title will be
the Edwards Club under the
wing of the former Glover,
Maurice johnson. Johnson's
training program will soon be-
gin to pay off. Maurice starts
a highly regarded pair of be-
ginners Friday night in Henry
Staley and Anderson Bethea.

team championships actually
