It's War to Our GIs
For reasons of diplom;

For reasons Of diplomacy that are
not clear to the average citizen, this
Government maintains that American
military contingentS in South Wet Nam
are not fighting a war-but are merely
advising and aiding the South Vietna-
mese in resisting Communist guerrillas
But to our soldiers, Marines and flyers
lodging bullets in the jungles of that
faraway land it is real war, not fiction.
President Kennedy was right, therefore,
in holding that American wounded in
this fighting be awarded the Purple
Heart, present rules to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The Presidents interest in the mat
ter was aroused by news dispatch from
the front saying that wounded SER
geant had been denied the Purple Heart
award because Of a regulation restrict
ing it to victims Of war in which this
country is actively engaged. He has
issued orders that the rules be modified
to permit such awards to American
fighters wounded in South Wet Nam
We would go further and suggest that
these almost forgotten" men be made
eligible also for other military decor
ations and benefits awarded in wartime
for outstanding service.

At the White House Door

The Kennedy administrations in
tervention in the steel wage negotiations
and later in the stormy incident arising
out of proposed price increases has led
to an almost inevitable sequel in the
railroad industry. Reacting quickly TO
rumorS that Presidential fact finding
board is preparing to recommend wage
increases Of about rs to 10 cents hourly
for 100000 incorporating railroad en-
ployes, an industry spokesman has pub
licly stated that the Government must
step in and tell the employees such
wage increase cannot be made effective
without destroying the non-inflationary
policy Of the administration"
j. E. Wolfe, chairman of the West
ern Carriers Conference Committee, has
taken the initiative in reminding the
administration that what it has done
in one industry it can do in another,
and that its imposition Of restraint upon
management in one case can be
matched by enforced restraint upon
labor in other circumstances. "Con-
Sistency demands" Mr.. Wolfe told
news conference, that If inflationary
threats are to be avoided, then anything
inflationary must be prevented-and an
unjustified wage increase is an infla-
tionary threat"
In Mr. Wolfe's opinion, of course,
the rumored wage recommendation (the
figures given would mean between 8 and
per cent increase) is unjuStified and
inflationary. Many of the carriers af-
fected, he said, would be unable to pay
higher wages and remain solvent Dam
iel P. Loomis, president of the Associa-
tion of American Railroads, warned that
wage boosts of this extent would force
some of the carriers to ask for higher
traffic rates or to curtail employment
The 7.5-cent increase for the off-train
employees alone, Mr.. LoomiS estimated,
would cost the carriers an extra $50 mil
lion yearly. Net income of all Class
roads last year was about 1882 million.
Whatever the outcome of this latest
skirmish in management-labor econom-
les, it is impossible to overlook the
particularly acute financial troubles of
the rails. Still unsettled in this connec-
tion is the vexing problem Of winning
agreement of the powerful operating
brotherhoods on revision of the complex
of largely outdated work rules that the
carriers claim burden them with $500
million yearly of unnecessary costs. The
public members of another Presidential
commission have recommended such
revision, but labor spokesmen have de-
nounced the commission program.
Against this background, it seems
certain that the administration will be
forced before long to exercise its judg-
ment and its influence in a resolution
of the railroad troubles.

To Control 'Growinq Pains

In view or the rapidly changing
landscape in nearby Virginia, as new
highway and building developments
make their appearance, the move by the
Northern Virginia Regional Planning
and Economic Development Commission
to survey the situation and draw up an
overall plan for orderly growth is Of
timely Importance. So many jurisdic-
tions are involved and so much is at
stake that teamwork on transportation
and land-use plans can best be achieved
through such an agency as the inter-
county commission.
Already the once-rural countryside
of Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William
Counties is being cut through and over
laid by major expressways and by resi-
Dental and commercial projects. The
huge Dulles Airport and its limited
access highway to the city are outstand-
ing examples of the sort of construction
that is altering the appearance OF
Northern Virginia. Other factors are
the broad, curving Capital Beltway from
the new Cabin John bridge to the Wood
row Wilson bridge at Alexandria, Route
w, dll AAlGCAoGoVC A4A6A4"oJ GAAoV WAL
thrust through to the Potomac River at
Rosslyn, and the new Shirley Highway
extension, from Woodbridge to Rich
mond-all we'll under way. A number
of other major road and other construc-
tion jobs are planned.
The Northern Virginia agency, COM
posed of representatives of all the coun
ties and cities in the area, is properly
concerned with laying out masS-tranS-
portation and land-development pat
terms which are co-ordinated for the
mutual benefit of all Jurisdictions Its
proposal to adopt two-year program
for orderly control of the regions grow
ing pains" is deserving of the support
of all who live in the communities
affected.

Fairfax Grand Jury

A thorough grand jury investigation
Of corruption charges in connection
with the rezoning of Merrywood estate
in Fairfax County can serve a limited
but useful purpose.
Presumably, the grand jury will not
be empaneled to look into the merits or
otherwise of the actual rezoning. It's
concern, we suppose, will be with
whether there was any violation Of law
at any stage of the procedure.
At mass meeting Thursday night
a woman who has taken leading part
in the effort by Mclean residents to
overturn the rezoning told some 700
people: 1--WE think everybody cares
about corruption in government, and we
really think this has happened" She did
not name anyone or cite any evidence.
Assuming, however, that there is some
basis for the charge, the evidence GER
tainly should be made available to the
grand jury. If no evidence is produced
this fact should be made public, for as
matters stand the accusation tends to
damage the reputation Of one or more
of several people whose names have
been brought into the controversy
The grand jury, of course, can sub
poena records and take testimony under
oath. We hope that these powers will
be used with determination to ascertain
the relevant facts with view to crirni-
nal prosecution If the facts justify it,
or to clear the air of the suspicious. If
they are unwarranted, which have been
aroused in this matter.
II any improperly or corruption Is
established the Fairfax Board of Super
visorS, we should think, certainly would
want to reconsider its action in the
Merrywood case. Otherwise, unless a
threatened civil court suit is successful,
the rezoning apparently will stand.
In this event, there will be sub
stantial basis for concern that the con-
Struction of high-rise apartments on the
Merrywood tract will serve as break
through which would threaten the char
acter of the Potomac River gorge. 1t Is
true that Fairfax planners have said
that unusual characteristics Of the
Merrywood estate make 1t special case,
and that these factors do not necessarily
apply to other parcels Of land between
the George Washington Memorial Park
way and the Potomac River in Fairfax
The opinions Of planners, however, are
not binding on the supervisors, and an
assurance from the latter that the nat
ural beauty of the Potomac Palisades
is not going to be ruined by apartment
developments would be most welcome.
