AS one who has inveighed
against the showing of OBJ
Jectionable movies, I wish to
commend the managers of
the Stanley Warner sub
urban theaters for the series
OF 6 world famed operettas
which they have been pre-
senting on Tuesday nights.
1t has been a pleasure to
take my children to see:
THE Merry Widow" "The
Great Waltz" "Sweethearts. !"
Chocolate Soldier" Girl OF
the Golden West" and Rose
Marie" By catching the early
show they are home in time
Tor schoolwork and regular
bedtimes.
These lovely musicals, pro-
duced during what was
surely a golden age of movie
making have featured Nelson
Eddy, jeanette Macdonald,
Maurice Chevalier and other
stars whose glorious voices
and superb acting are as
enchanting in these oper-
ettas today as when they
first were made.
Such programs restore our
faith in exhibitors, most of
whom would themselves pre-
Ter to offer decent and truly
artistic films in their COM
munities. Mrs. Lynn MigheIl.

Outspoken Judqe

l appreciate the honest re-
porting your newspaper did
on the remarks and the
charge to the jury that were
made by Judge OBarr, of
Mississippi. You and radio
and TV carried his remarks
concerning John F. Kenne-
dy and his stupid little broth
er Robert Kennedy" I
searched Washington's morn
ing paper and read the same
account, but the judges re-
marks were carefully left
out. I do not believe this is
honest reporting.
The Federal Government
poorly handled the Ole Miss
case, and has used Federal
power, Federal machinery and
Federal bureaucracy to cover
up its mistakes both in Ole
Miss and its unlawful han
ding of opposition of Gen.
Walker. Your newspaper
properly and honestly report
ed an account that shows
there are still some who are
not ready to submit to Fed
eral bureaucracy.

Motive of Giyino

The theme of the IJGE
campaign advertisement is
Give today because you
might need UGF tomorrow
And remember, when you do
give, you're not just con-
tributing to UGF, you're paw
ing your own way" What a
selfish attitude!
The adman who thought
up this unhappy sentiment
and those who allowed it to
be ed should recall the
example of Jesus, not to
mention countless SANITY
and beloved human beings.
Tor the true giving spirit. 1t
is a sad commentary on our
Tunes when a campaign seek
ing funds to aid youth, the
needy, the sick, and the un-
derprivileged has so little
faith in the people of this
area that it resorts to an ap-
peal to mans lowest natural
instinct looking out for
Number One.
"A gift given for the wrong
motive is worthless, no mat
ter how grand or how osten-
sibly beneficial. Neither self
preservation. nor self-glorifi-
cation, is a worthy motive.

Subway 'FoM'

Just what does the Nation
al Capital Transportation
Agency think it's doing?
BY proposing a multi-mil-
lion-dollar rail and subway
system and, at the same time
practically wiping freeways
off the Washington Metro
politan Area map, it is i'm
posing a form of coercion on
the motorist such as we have
never seen. The Meta claims
that the rail system will paw
for itself. This remains to be
proved.
Beyond that, there is a
principle at issue. BY elimi-
mating key segments of a
sound freeway program, the
Meta is, in effect, forcing
the motorist into committing
via the rail line. The Meta
has no regard. apparently,
for the personal desires or
convenience of our citizens.
or how it proposes to spend
our money on this extrava-
CANT folly.
I think the automobile
owners of this region should
rebel. We want freedom of
movement and we will not be
forced into riding a subway
system which we don't want
in the first place.

Mocking Justice

On rainy night in March of 1853 a
man named Willie Lee Stewart entered
Harry Honikman's grocery store at 72S
East Capitol street. 1t was a holdup.
Honikman pleaded with the robber to
take the money; not to shoot But
Stewart, without the slightest provo
cation, shot and killed Honikman in
the presence of the latter's wife and
daughter.
Now, nine years and five trials
later, Stewart again has been found
guilty of first degree murder. The guilty
verdictS returned in his first two trials
were reversed in the Court of Appeals by
Judges Edgerton, Bazelon and Wash
ington. They found fault with the trial
judges instructions on the issue of IN
sanity. The third conviction was reversed
in to opinion by the Supreme Court
because, it was held, the prosecutor had
asked an improper question. (To get the
flavor of this one should read the sting
ing disSents by Justices Frankfurter and
Clark At the fourth trial the Jury dis
agreed, standing 10 to 2 for conviction
on the insanity issue. Stewart was
brought to trial for the fifth time after
DR.. OverholSer had certified that exam
nations at st. Elizabeths Hospital had
produced no evidence of insanity either
this year or at the time Of the murder.
The fifth jury now has returned guilty
verdict, and another appeal is in pros
pect
What does all this come down to?
Certainly Stewart committed this cold
blooded murder. Sixty jurors have lis
tened to the. testimony, pro and con, on
the issue of insanity and So of them have
believed the doctors who said Stewart
was not insane. Now the case goes up on
appeal again, and for all anyone knows
the finding Of the fifth jury may be over
turned. Is this justice, or is it a mockery
of justice? We think the answer is self
evident.

The Saturn Timetable

The third consecutive successful test
Of the Saturn rocket was both gratifying
and impressive. Even in this age of won
ders, there is something deeply awesome
about mans ability to hurtle 162-foot,
550-ton monster more than 100 miles
into the skies, to have it travel a course
as planned, and to die in massive ice
laden white cloud at the touch of a ra-
dio signal in the control center at Cape
Canaveral.
This was described as flawless per-
Torrance, one more step in the careful
and exciting development Of a giant
power plant by which our space Scien-
lists are planning with increasing con-
fidence to send team of American as
tronauts to the moon before the decade
Of the 1905 is ended. In this third of
the Saturns, already believed to be the
worlds mightieSt missile, eight engines
generated thrust of Is million pounds,
equal to 80 million horsepower. Next
spring, the testing schedule calls for a
similar flight during which one engine
will be cut out Intentionally to determine
emergency performance. BY late 1868, a
fifth Saturn is expected to generate is
million pounds of thrust. From then on,
the development schedule calls for a
steady increase Of this power capacity
until a 1865 Saturn with rs million
pounds Of thrust is due to whirl a three
man Apollo team into orbit around the
moon. Before 1870, Apollo earthlings are
due to land on the moon, to explore this
celestial body and to return to our own
planet.
This is indeed a program that only
few years ago would have been CLASH
fled as science fiction. 1T is no less i'm
aginative today, but with the startling
difference that 1t is treated no longer as
fiction. 1t is, instead, only one of the fan
tastic accomplishments coming so surely
within reach Of Gods greatest creation
mankind

A Matter of Choice

There are two significant points in
the verdict which Federal jury has
returned in the case of a Pittsburgh
cigarette smoker who contracted lung
cancer. First, the jury absolved the
cigarette manufacturer of any financial
liability, on grounds that the company
had been guilty Of no breach of war
ranty upon which the plaintiff had re-
lied, and that he had assumed the risk
Of injury from smoking cigarettes as
matter of personal choice. This finding
was, In our opinion, a reasonable one.
But due note also should be taken
Of the fact that the jury nevertheless
was firmly convinced that the smoking
Of cigarettes in this instance was "the
cause or one of the causes" Of the can
Ger. This opinion was expressed UNI
equivocally in answer to specific ques-
ton from the trial judge. And it was
reached on the basis of extensive expert
medical testimony which the jury had
heard on both sides of the question. We
hope that this aspect of the verdict par
ticularly will be weighed by young peo-
pie, especially those of high-school age,
by which time most of the decisions
have been made as to whether or not
to smoke cigarettes. 1t is interesting
that in a related development a COM
mittee of the American Cancer Society
in New York, which is conducting an
educational program among high school
and college students on the effects of
cigarette smoking, appears to be having
considerable success in convincing stu
dents to curtail or to abandon the habit
entirely.

The editorial support and
news coverage given by The
Star during the campaign in
Maryland to defeat the I'M
fair congressional redistrict-
ing referendum is deeply ap-
'preciated by the League of
Women Voters of Montgom-
cry County. Certainly the edi-
torial stand of your news
paper played an important
role in Montgomery County
where Question 6 was defeat
ed by a better than five to
one margin.
We heartily agree with your
post-election editorial of No.
vember 8, pointing out that
1T is the residents of Mary
land as a whole who have
made plain that they will not
be satisfied with this or any
other plan (of the State Leg
1slature) which avoids the
requirement to more nearly
equalize the distributing of
population among the eight
congressional voting areas of
the State" Now that the al
most two to one defeat of
the referendum by the voters
throughout the State has
cleared the way for a fair bill,
your continued interest and
support will be a further con-
tribution to the ultimate
passage of such legislation.
