the greater risk that the unapprehend-
ed speeder will commit further crimes.
These are good answers, but they do
not solve the problem. There is one pos
sible solution that we think law enforce
ment authorities should cons r.
Though it sounds bit fantastic, we see
no reason why it would not be prac-
ticable.
The idea is simply this, that police
cars be equipped with a gun to fire
some sort of dye capsule. This could be
used to put an indelibe mark on vehicles
speeding to escape apprehension. Once
the significance Of such a mark was
known in the community, the chances
of hiding such car would be remote
and the drivers whereabouts would be
traceable. There may be bugs in the
proposal, but we think it is worth con-
sideration.

A Gun For Speeders

THE pattern is a recurrent one: the
police chase a car through city
streets Ga stolen car, or one driven by a
crime suspect) at speeds that go up and
UP until the pursued car goes out of
control and kills bystander. Or, as
variant, the police fire at the car and
some of their shots go astray with le-
thai effect.
When this happens, the question al
ways arises: Why do law enforcement
officers press the chase to such limits
in crowded areas? Why do they endan-
ger lives in this way-and why, par
ticularly, do they do it in cases where
they are not sure that any crime other
than speeding has been committed?
The police have answers. They say
that if lawbreakers know they can get
away merely by speeding bit past the
limit, lawlessness will increase. They
say the possible risk of injuring an in
nocent person must be balanced against

Question OF Sovereignty

State sovereignty and national
sovereignty may be moving to.
ward a final and decisive col.
nsion in the State Of Mississippi
where an adamant governor is
determined to invoke the doc.
trine of interposition to save his
people from federal domination
This impending clash of sover-
eighty grows out of a federal
court order for the admission oil
a Negro to the University Of
Mississippi.
But the implications are much
broader than segregation alone
and the showdown will be a real
test of interposition.
The essence of that venerable
doctrine, which has been ignored
by the federal government and
brushed aside by the U. S. Su.
preme Court. is set out in these
words of Thomas Jefferson in
the 1898 Kentucky Resolution Of
Interposition:
1.-THE Government created by
this compact 1.-THE Constitution Of
the U. S. was not made the ex-
elusive or final judge Of the ex.
tent of the powers delegated to
itself, since that would have
made its discretion, and not the
Constitution, the measure of its
powers; but that as in all other
cases of compact among parties
no common Judge, each party
has an equal right to judge for
itself, as well as of attractions
as Of the mode and measure Of
redress"
The Virginia and Kentucky in
terposition resolutions of Jeffer-
sons day did have some deter
rent effect on the federal gov
eminent. But those similar reso-
lutions which were adopted by
many Southern states in the aft
ermath Of the Supreme Courts
1854 desegregation decision have
never really been put to the test.
In Virginia, where this latter.
day interposition effort was first
publicized, the show down be-
tween state and national au'
thority was softened by former
Gov. j. Lindsay Almonds back
pedalling. After laying down q
barrage of declarations of inten
ton to stand and fight, ALMOND
folded up in a fashion reminis
cent of the Mother Goose re
frain:
1.-THE King Of France went w
the hill,
With twenty thousand men:
The King Of France came dowr
the hill,
And ne'er went up again"
But this governor of Missis
sippi. Ross R. Barnett, is some
thing else again. It is doubtful
that the federal government ha!
tangled with his like in recen
years, and the conflict may as
sumo heroic proportions befor,
the dust settles.

DURING THE RECENT Christmas Island atomic

and most awesome deterrent weapon: a Polaris
rocket from under the sea.
But twenty years ago, incredible as it may
seem, Nazi Germany developed a completely work.
able, Polaris-type missile. The German version
mounted the missiles on a rack on deck instead of
inside the sub, but they were successfully test
fired from underwater. This is the story behind one
of history's most dramatic "might-have-beens"
Of course, the Nazis didn't have an H-bomb.
But with conventional high explosive warheads, the
German submarine feet could have attacked the sea-
board of the United States with devastating effect,
firing from distance of about FIVE miles and infct-
ing far more damage in the long than the V-2's
did to Great Britain. They could have hit all our
major East and Gulf Coast cities and ports.
By the end of l94l, Admiral Karl Doenitz's
U-Boat feet had some $50 units. Every month Is
