BoIdness Earns Respect

There has been heartening evidence
from many quarters that the decision OF
our Government to erase the threat OF
Russian missile aggression from Cuban
bases has earned us new respect abroad.
Our principal NATO allies, for example,
have lined up in approval and our Latin
American neighborS- OF them
within range of the Soviet-Cuban often
sive weapons-diS prompt and
impressive support through the machin-
cry of the Organization of American
States.
OF added interest in this regard was
the action of a group Of As smaller
powers, members of the United Nations,
in asking Acting Secretary General U
Thant to call upon the three nations
directly involved-the United States, the
Soviet Union and Cuba-to refrain from
provocative action while resolution Of
the crisis may be sought. Significantly,
in this instance, members OF this group
also refrained from imputing, as some
of them frequently have done, all sorts
of offensive behavior to capitalist" or
"imperialist" United States without rec
cognizing any sins by the Communist
Soviet Union. This may be only straw
in the wind. But it suggests that tough
stand, as opposed to excessive concern
for that nebulous thing called world
opinion, is capable of paying dividends.

Policeman in Trouble

Washington Policeman William
]. Maginnis will never forget his expert
ence at Seventh and T streets NV, on
August IA, 1859, at LAS in the morning:
While questioning diSorderly man,
fist suddenly exploded in his face. In a
trice, four other men were upon him, one
selling his baton, another his service
revolver. He was beaten on the head
with the nightStick, shot at with the
revolver, but not hit. Others kicked him
in the face and body. Pvt. Maginnis went
to the hospital, and years and 9 months
after he joined the force he was dis
ability retirement case at the age of q.
What happened to the men to whom
Pvt. MaginniS lost this unfair match?
Well, the No. 1 offender, who also shot
at him, got IS to As months. Another
was assessed 4 months to year. A
third got to 10 months. The others
haven't been caught yet. And William
J. MaginniS is all but forgotten, except
for the policemen who face the same
long odds every day and every night
of the year.
In the IL months ending June 30,
there were 1913 Pvt. MaginniSeS who got
this kind of treatment, more or less, in
washington. The actual assault total
was 173, since some were attacked more

than once. Most Of the assailants were
later arrested, but less than 80 per cent
of them went to jail. And OF those VINO
were punished, only one was committed
for as long as to 6 years.
AS the Citizens Crime Commission
submits, these are deplorable facts and
figures. Although all the offenders were
arrested as felons, subject to maximum
Swear sentence, most got off on reduced
charges. The commission agrees with
Police Chief Robert v. Murray that leni-
ent sentences have induced in hoodlum
minds disrespect for law and order.
The commission further supports
the view that policemen under attack
often refuse to "use the force they are
entitled to-" obviously restrained by the
quick accusations of police brutality.
The latter, of course, can never be con-
doned in the proper meaning OF the
term. But the commission believes that
all policemen, rockies and veterans
alike, should have periodic training in
methods of self-defenSe.
Washington police have an excellent
record for good conduct. This ought to
be kept in mind when their hoodlum
attackers are brought up for trial and
punishment.

Thumbs Down

The President has benched both
himself and Lyndon Johnson for the
duration of the congressional election
eering campaign. This is what he should
have done and, really, what he almost
had to do. It is inconceivable that Mr..
Kennedy, in an hour of great national
danger, might have climbed back up
on the partisan stump and resumed his
political plea for the election Of more
Democrats and the defeat of more Re
publicans.
Prior to this week the Cuban issue
was hurting the Democrats; there's no
doubt about that. A vigorous and about
partisan campaign by the President
might have helped to offset this liability.
But now we'll never know. Cuba is dead
as a campaign issue in this election.
And the Democrats who are scrambling
for reelection will have to get along
without further presidential support.
From now until November 6, as Mr.. Ell
senhower has indicated, the purely par
tisan distortions and half-truthS must
be put aside. On the really big thing,
the overriding requirement is that this
must be united Nation. Cheap parti-
sanship, for the moment at least, is out

No Reason to Fear

Whether by coincidence or design,
there arrived in our mail yesterday a
large envelope from the office of the
Secretary of Defense. Inside was the
text of a speech that Mr.. Mcnamara
had delivered fortnight ago-exactly
the same text that we had received at
that time. This redundancy piqued our
curiosity, and so we re-read the Secre-
tary's words, and we found the following
among them:
We deter the Soviets from using their
nuclear force by maintaining nuclear force
strong enough and survivable enough to ride
out any conceivable nuclear attack, and to
survive with sufficient power to cause unac-
ceptable damage to the attacker.
We Have such force today, and we have
increased the budget to assure that we shall
have such a force in the future.
The Polaris submarines deployed around
the world our bombers on 15-minute ground
alert, our intercontinental missiles, increaS-
ingly hardened and dispersed in great arc
across the western plains, provide the required
deterrence.
We have no reason to fear the Soviet
rocket rattlers. Mr.. Khrushchev himself has
recognized the dangers Of nuclear war in his
much quoted speech Of January 6, 1861, when
he said, 1.-THE problem of preventing global
thermonuclear war is the most burning ana
vital problem for mankind"
In its own way, this excerpt from
Secretary McNamara's address of Octo-
Der 10 serves as reasSuring commentary
on the current course Of events. Fur
Their than that, even though couple OF
weeks old, it seems altogether timely
and pertinent at moment when Nikita
Khrushchev and the Kremlin apparent
ly have decided upon policy of restraint
and caution in connection with our
country's determination to do away with
the Red menace in Cuba.

Lunutics at Large

Henry F. Lercn, Repupllcan Cdn-
didate for the House of Delegates from
Montgomery County, has raised an i'm
portant issue. He thinks the Legislature
should enact law to prevent the re-
lease of persons found not guilty by
reason of insanity in criminal cases
and so do we.
Earlier this year dairy. worker,
who had wounded policeman and a
woman with shotgun blasts, was tried in
Montgomery County and found not gull
ty by reason of insanity at the time Of
the crime-about four months before
the trial. The presiding Judge reluc-
family ordered him released, stating that
he had no alternative under the law.
So man who undoubtedly was dan
gerous mental case was turned loose in
the county. =
To tolerate this, we think, is I'M
considerable. Why should the public be
exposed to such hazard simply because
a foot-dragging Legislature is reluctant
to take the necessary and proper steps
to put an end to it?
All that would be required is law,
S1IIludI W G1ldI LII 4OANC AL VIC OAoOAASVS
providing that any person found not
guilty of crime by reason of insanity
shall be committed to a mental inSti-
tuition for treatment until it is safe to
release him.
A few weeks ago, committee Of the
Maryland Bar Association, headed by
Judge Foster Dulaney of Baltimore,
strongly recommended legislation of this
nature. We are glad that Mr.. Lerch has
made it an issue in his campaign, and
we hope the pressure will be kept on
until the Legislature puts an end to what
is really "believe-it-or- situation.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
South Pole to Be Further Explored

equivalent to that from
Washington D. c. to the
southern tip of Florida.
The survey was carried out
by engineers of the United
States Geological Survey un-
der a grant from the National
Science Foundation. Their
measurements will be used in
conjunction with aerial pho
tographs of the mountain
chain to enable production
of extremely accurate maps.
The actual surveying, car
ried out by William H. Chap
man, William c. Elder and
Ezekiel r. SOFA of the Geo.
logical Survey staff, involved
the use of an electronic dis
lance measuring device. This
highly sensitive instrument
permits the engineer to pin
point terrain features with a
high degree of accuracy.
First Phase of Operation
The first phase of the ira
verse covered the distance
from the head of the great
Beardmore glacier to the pole.
1t provides ground control
for mapping an area of co.
600 square miles. The second
phase, just completed, pro-
videS control of a region Of
about 10000 square miles.
The engineers flew from
mountain top to mountain
top, covering a distance of
more than 1900 miles.
Nearly 100 observation sites
were occupied, with an av-
erage distance between them
OF about 20 miles. Brass geo.
detic tablets were set in rock
at about so of these sites.
These markers are numbered
and their altitude, latitude
and longitude will be avail
able for use of future sur
veying parties.
With the use of the
Thermometer, distance was
determined, it is claimed, to
an accuracy of about two
inches in 20 miles. Star OBJ
Servations were made to re!
late each station to its true
position on the earth.
Logistics support for the
survey was furnished by the
Army with helicopters. Com
pletion of 1900 miles of
ground control in less than
two months in face of the
rigorous Antarctic climate is
considered an outstanding
accomplishment by the Ma
tional Science Foundation.
The engineers credit gen.
orally favorable weather for
their success.

cree and announcement by

Certainly. we are free to
ask and to learn how we ar
rived at our present state,

deed, when the present crisis

like all earlier incidents in
the Cuban situation have
passed-it will be entirely
proper then to examine ana
analyze and criticize decisions
and actions taken"
Campaign Goes On
The Republican campaign.
obviously, is not to be DIS
continued, nor the effort TO
elect Republican candidates
for Congress and for Cover
nor. No one knows exactly
what the immediate future
has in store, but the Amerl-
can people have in the past
gone to the polls and voted
their convictions and for their
representatives in times OF
war. President Kennedy ana
vice President Johnson have
announced they will make no
more speeches in this political
campaign; in effect, saying
they will not ask only the
election of Democrats to Con-
gress and for Governor. This
is intended, Of course. not to
stir UP further political par
tisanship among the people.
But at the same time, it seems
a request for support Of the
President at the polls in this
time of crisis. Other than
this, there has been no dlm1-
mutton of Democratic cam
paigning for the party's can
didates all over the country.
Gen. Eisenhower, turning
particularly to domestic is
sues in his Gettysburg adj
dress, said that as citizens we
have the obligation, notwith-
standing the crisis over Cuba,
to concern ourselves with our
political leadership at all lev
els. Speaking as a Republic
can, he said: "The Democratic
Party, now controlled by a
radical faction, is committed
to the belief that what they
call 'pocketbook issues are
more important to Americans
than freedom and self
respect, the dignity Of the
enduring values of heart and
mind. In fact, one Of their
spokesman put it here in Get
tysburg a few nights ago that
they think of Americans as
us Little People, We Little
People, they claim, will be
more prosperous If we throw
off the traits of self-reliance,
self-dependence, individual
ambition and striving and
submit to political control
centered in Washington. This
is not government by the peo-
pie; it is government by edict.
OF course, this centralized
authority must engage in vast
expenditures Of money taken
from us Little People"

Men at Work

In these days OF complaint,
featherbedding and charges
Of feeding at the public
trough, I want to point a
finger of praise at the men
who are rebuilding River
Road.
The noise has been con-
slant, the dust dreadful, but
the speed, the courtesy, the
clean looking work has been
wonderful. Even as the work
progressed, friends said to
me "even unfinished it's bet
ter than it used to be-"
Those who had trouble
finding the way to my door
were almost led by the hand.
On the many trips out the
driveway made by my wife,
never once did the workmen
fail to back out of the way
to. make it easier for her.
In short, these are the best
workmen I have ever seen.

Breathing Spell

The fact that there has not yet been
any resistance to interception OF Cuba
bound ship, when taken with Mr.. Khru-
shchevs call for summit conference,
constitutes welcome breathing spell
in an enormously dangerous crisis. But
1t is no more than that
Some Soviet ships headed for Cuban
ports are reported to have changed
course, and this is encouraging evidence
that the Kremlin is not eager to force
a showdown. There are other ships on
the way, however, and they have not
turned back. So the essential ingredients
of collision still are very much in the
picture.
Mr.. Khrushchev's summit call came
in his response to message from the
British pacifist, Bertrand Russell, who
also urged the United States to pull
back. The Soviet Premier said this:
"The question of war and peace is SO
vital that we should consider useful
a top-level meeting in order to discuss
all the problems which have arisen, to
do everything to remove the danger OF
unleashing thermometer war"
This makes no specific reference
to President Kennedy's demand that
all offensive weapons in Cuba be dis
mantled and withdrawn under United
Nations supervision. This might be
covered, however, in Mr.. Khrushchev's
reference to call the problems which
have arisen"
At any rate, the Khrushchev state
ment as well as U Thant's appeal for
freeze" doubtless have received and
will continue to receive the most careful
attention by our officials. The United
States certainly will not engage In
any retreat which leaves an offensive
nuclear capability in the untrustworthy
hands Of Fidel Castro. But If this threat
can be removed by measures short OF
war, if our wholly proper detectives
can be achieved by peaceful means,
such settlement will appeal to us as
much as it appeals to the Kremlin. But
the settlement will have to be real
settlement. Castro'S missiles must go.
