UNDERSTANDING THIS,
1t is a bit easier to have some
perspective on the tensions
and battles in Washington
over such matters as the ex-
tent to which urban renewal
powers should be used, and
where; the size, character
and location Of big express
ways; the proper scope for
individual effort, and the
rightful limits Of Govern
ment.
Being PrometheanS, the
ancient Greeks we're also
forced to measure the ad-
vantages and disadvantages
Of progress.
Being wise, as Greeks have
a habit of being, they de-
cided to make man the
measure. Protagoras taught
them how to humanize prog
reSS. His words still live, in
all their power and earnest
ness. Mr.. DemostheneS Lakis
proved that last Friday.

Tuition Grunt
Opposition Sought

Alexandria school officials
will be asked to join efforts
by Arlington, Fairfax County
and Falls Church to obtain
permission for localities to
withdraw from the Virginia tu-
ition grant program.
The executive board Of the
Alexandria Voters and Tax
payers League has voted to
make the request before the
School Board on February 10.
The program was set up in
1859 for parents who did not
wish their children to attend
desegregated public schools. In
some cases, grants up to $275
have been given children who
attend integrated private
schools.
The League said that 80 per
cent of the Alexandria children
who received grants during the
first year of the program were
already attending private
school. Grants to 1873 Alexan-
dria students during the pres
ent semester cost the State and
city more than $4,000, the
League said.

The 100 priests still on the
island are allowed only to say

Like practically the entire
Cuban population, I had great
hope for the Castro revolution"
Bishop Masvidal said. The
revolution had publicly COM

justice"
He described his country as

provide added safety by alb
sorbing the impact of a car out
of control.
Matter in Dispute
Mr.. Sawyer noted that the
question of what design is
safest for bridge ratings has
been matter in dispute among
highway engineers.
He said no railing will prove
totally effective in every emer-
gency-the ratings are not de-
signed to withstand more than
a certain load of impact.
District area bridges are de-
signed according to specifica-
lions recommended by the
American Association of State
Highway Officials which are
those approved for bridges on
the interstate highway system.
Mr.. Sawyer said highway en-
gineers feel that a railing that
would hold under a severe i'm
pact might also bounce a ca
reening car back into the path
Of traffic and could result in
more tragic consequences.
He said it doesn't matter
what material is used for the
railing-steel, aluminium, con-
crete or wood-the design must
be such that the guard railing
would withstand the load of
impact specified by AASHO
standards.
Safety Features
The Bureau of Public Roads
has issued recommendations
that steel ratings be used in
certain cases or other safety
features included in rail design.
One Of the accepted designs
is that used for the Wilson
Bridge and the Cabin John
Bridge now under construction.
This includes a 9-inch curb and
an 18-inch concrete parapet
with an aluminium hand rail
on top of the parapet.
This design is also the one
used on the Piney Branch
Bridge that carries Park road
traffic into Rock Creek Park.
A car plunged off the bridge
in November, 1859, carrying a
District youth to his death.
That accident showed us
that no matter how much we
try to come up with the safest
design, there are certain emer-
gency situations in which the
design won't help" one high
way official said.

Costro-ExiIed Bishop
Joins Refugees Here

An exiled Cuban bishop will
be reunited here today with
some of his former parishion-
erS.
Auxiliary Bishop Eduardo
Boza Masvidal will say mass
at 5 pm. at the Sacred Heart
Church, Sixteenth and Park
road NV, for those, who like
him, are refugees from Premier
Castro's Cuba.
The prelate and his parish
toner's have this in common:
they left Havana swiftly, and
took nothing with them.
Bishop Masvidal through an
interpreter, gave this account
yesterday of his exile:
Last September, as he was
entering the Apostolic Delega-
ton in Havana on a routine
visit, he was arrested by secret
police.
He was taken to the police
"G-2 Headquarters" where all
political prisoners are kept in
italy, and held for five days,
Bishop Masvidal reported.
II was questioned three times.
I was accused of spreading
propaganda and melting youth
against the government. They
accused me of melting a riot
at my church of Our Lady of
Charity two days before. The
rest of the time, I didn't do
anything but sit.
"On the sixth day, without
telling me where we were go
ing, I was placed in a car with
armed guards and put aboard
the ship 'Covadonga.' We sailed
for Spain"
On the ship were 1872 other
Catholic priests deported by the
Castro government.
This was the beginning Of
Bishop Masvidal's exile. Since
then. he has made his way to
The United States where he is
tapping broadcasts for the Gu
ban Freedom Committee. He
is in Washington now en- route
to his next post in Caracas,
Venezuela.

the District Welfare Depart
ment. If granted, this aid will
be reimbursed 100 per cent by
the Federal Government. Gu
bans who come here on their
own must wait the customary
year to fulfill the residence re-
quirement before applying for
relief. None have done so to
the knowledge of Donald Gray,
program director at the depart
ment.
Called Reliable Workers
Employers here describe Gu
bans as good, hard, reliable
workers. Some Of the more
distinguished refugees have key
posts in Government and inter-
national organizations. The
majority. however, have taken
what work they can find. Doc
tors have worked as walters;
rich businessmen as statesmen;
architects as craftsmen.

his family here eventually.
All the refugees with whom
The Star talked requested that
their names or identifying fac
tors in their stories be omitted
in order to protect relatives in
Cuba. One, an office worker
in Cuba, who has lived here
with his wife and three chill
dren more than a year, summed
up his feelings about life here
this way (freely translated from
