faction in public life but it is too early
to read significant meaning into its
announcements about giving new vigor
to Arab unity, to social and economic
reforms, to a foreign policy of positive
neutrality and so forth. Presumably, its
references to beloved Egypt" and
"brotherly Iraq" are intended to improve
relations with these two countries, al
though their relationship with each
other is more bitter than brotherly. If
there was threatening note in the
early outpouring of words from
Damascus it was in the old Arab theme
that "the Palestine problem" remains
the number one irritant, with the
implication that there are no grounds
for Arab acceptance of peace with Israel
AS of now, in short, nothing seems to
have changed in Damascus except those
who are speaking words already spoken
many times before.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Those having a passing acquaint-
ance with life in American college fra
ternity houses are unlikely to be sur
priSed or distressed by any reports of
normal "hardShipS." The brothers are
prone toward such informalitieS as Dor
rowing books or beds, clothing or cars,
on an TASK not" basis. Even so, their
hospitality is seldom questioned from
campus to campus. Perhaps things are
different in Russia, if there are fratern-
tiles there at ALL
In any case, a trio of Russian ex-
change students visiting the University
of North Carolina are finding life not
to their liking in the Pi Kappa Alpha
house at Chapel Hill. No towels and too
much fried chicken. There are occasions,
of course, when lack of towel can be
nuiSance-perhapS an embarrassing
one. For those acquainted with South
ern fried chicken, however, it is difficult
to work up much sympathy for COM
plants about being faced with this fare
at two consecutive meals. In fact, it
happens at our house quite often and
with no hustling up an alternative order
of ham and eggs, as was done at Chapel
Hill, for any Sniffy customers.
Being on tour, it is possible that the
seemingly rude RuSSkis-who even de-
clined to accept an apology for the towel
shortage have not heard about the
food problems back home. Among other
things, Papa Khrushchev is ANNOYED
about there not being enough chickens
fried or otherwise. Very likely the
same applies to ham and eggs. Perhaps
the only thing in over-supply is Russians
at least in Chapel Hill.

Speeding Trucks

The tragic truck-auto &C
cident on Wisconsin avenue
at Cedar lane March 10 was
most unfortunate to be sure.
The truck driver was charged
with unreasonable" speed
and failing to obey signals.
This is not the first such
accident between a truck and
automobile at this intersec-
ton from these same causes.
I often observe trucks operat-
ing we'll above the speed limit
between Bethesda and Rock
vile. The great weight of the
trucks, their speed, the steep
grade approaching the Wis
conSin avenue-Cedar lane in
tersection and the short
duration Of the caution sig
nal make trucks a real haz-
ard there.
1t is UP to the police to en-
force speed limits on trucks.

BIO Controversy

The controversy over the
BIO program raises one very
interesting point that has
been little noted: While the
Administration campaigns
stoutly against the program,
it might be beneficial to
glance at a statement of
Presidential candidate Ken
nedy in November, 1860. At
that time he Fundamentally
supported the BIO, indeed
making an issue out of it
in remarking, THE Admin
istration elected to use only
$110 million of the $685. mil
lion appropriated for it. .
but just days before the cleo
ton does the Administration
recognize the wisdom of the
Democratic Congress and re-
lease some of the funds"
Earlier in the campaign Lyn-
don Johnson also Endorsed
the SuperSonic bomber pro-
gram.
The present attitude of the
Administration m a kes one
wonder just what our ma
tional policy is based on.
Perhaps a little on-the-job
training has educated our
leaders; but then again, per-
hapS his 1860 statement was
a little election-time punch
the Massachusetts, Senator
could not help throwing.

Mr.. Whitaker Retires

Justice Whittaker's retirement from
the Supreme Court for reasons of health
comes at critical stage in the courts
history. And since the fact of his re-
tirement means that his vote cannot
now be counted in any of the cases
heard by the court while he sat on the
bench, it must be assumed that Justice
Whittaker'S decision was prompted by
considerations of most urgent nature
A quiet man, Justice Whitaker
during his five years on the high court
did not take part in the sharp and
sometimes spectacular verbal exchanges
His principal interest seemed to lie in
the technical side of the law, such as
tax and patent matters, and he applied
himself conscientiously and assiduously
to this work. At 81, he had gotten.
firm grip on his task, and it is most
regrettable that failing health has
forced him to step aside.
Inevitably, the choice Of Justice
Whittaker'S successor Immediately has
become the No. speculative converse
ton piece in Washington. For on a
sharply divided court, Justice Whitaker
generally had joined the so-called con-
sentative wing to produce the slim to
majorities in number Of highly i'm
portant cases. Consequently, it is merely
a statement Of the obvious to say that
the future direction taken by the court
will be determined largely by the think
ing and philosophy of the new justice.
The President, judging from news
conference remarks, has already decided
on his choice. So it would be not only
presumptuouS but also a waste of time
to offer "advice" on this point Accord
ingly, we merely express the hope
that Justice Whittaker's successor will
be someone possessing the stature and
temperament to inspire more rather
than less public confidence in and re-
spect for our highest tribunal.

shooting the Would-be asSail-
ant first, after a good deal
of the kind of circling around
in dense brush that is nor
mally interrupted by a COM
mercial.
But above all, he was the
kind of man for whom there
is very little place in the
world, a man with his own,
mostly heterodox views of
everything, who trod his own
path paying the least possible
attention to society.
MEN OF THIS SORT often
end by denying their own
talents in a fury of self
destructive rebellion. But
Brasher had his mission and
when necessary he made his
obelsance to Caesar.
For all the artlessness Of
his book land artlessness is
not really a desirable charac-
teristic in biography, Milton
Brasher succeeds admirably
in depicting this precarious
balance in the elder Brasher's
character. Considering his
approach, it is not surprising
that he seems oblivious to
the ultimate irony: The out
wardly antisocial often make
the greatest contributions to
society.
The great work of COM
pleting the paintings was
over in 1928. Thereafter the
story concentrates on the
project of the making and
sale of the reproductions and
BraSher's life in a relatively
isolated valley near Kent,
Conn. This work was under
taken by a family partner
ship, and it ended with the
ugliness of family business
quarrelS.
The story is told entirely
from the artists point of
view; Milton Brasher is con-
WINGED that his uncle was
wronged. But he is also
scrupulous, for he empha-
sizes the nature of his
vantage point over and over
again. He is to be congrat-
ulated for this. He is pas
sionately involved, and he
has not made the easy mis-
take of considering his own
partisanShip to be the purest
disintereSt.
Here is a book for bird
lovers; this is self-evident.
But because Rex Brasher was
so interesting a man, one
hopes its appeal will be more
general.
