Many readers doubt that

person will perhaps fill up

cause he is upset: but can't
believe that day-to-day ten

lasted six weeks.

With myself 1t has mani
tested itself by a weight gain
Of 36 pounds during the past

I had maintained a decent
figure through disciplining
myself. Now. when the cares
become too great to bear. my
only Solace Is in food.
The deep depression from
wallowing In fat is terrible!
The irony Of it Is that II I
had a real ailment, doctors
would work furiously to save
my life. But they won't take
my overweight seriously and
send me into the hospital to
take 1t off.-Mrs. x.
I BELIEVE in preventive
medicine. Your problem GER
tainly comes under this
heading. You have been
undergoing q trial that taxes
your physical, mental and
spiritual resources. If for no
other reason than the psy-

lay Of s1.l billion. The automotive and
transportation equipment manufac-
turers are planning to increase their
spending by about 20 per cent. For the
durable goods group as a whole, the
average increase is approximately Is
per cent.
Aside from reflecting business con-
fidence, capital spending of this size
In itself provides a strong assist to an
economic upSwing and could assure con-
tinuance of the recovery movement into
1868. Actually, there is evidence that
corporate earnings for this first quarter
may come close to the record set in the
final three months of 1850, when buSi-
ness activity stimulated by the Korean
war pushed profits to an annual rate of
S27.7 billion. In this event, Government
economists are suggesting hopefully that
1862 capital spending will rise even
higher than the currently projected
$S7.16 billion. The final shape of tax
legislation may weigh heavily in the
tulfillment of these hopes and the
chances for greater vigor in the
economic recovery.

A Fair Formula

Chairman Bible of the Senate Dis
trlct Committee, in opening current
hearings on home rule bill proposed
by the Kennedy administration, devoted
a substantial part of his statement to
an explanation of the proposed formula.
contained in that bill, for measuring
the size Of the annual Federal payment
toward expenses of the local govern
ment. We print the explanation in
adjoining columns on this page today.
In one respect it is entirely new The
novel suggestion is that after fixing
the amount of the Federal payment
the resulting total would become a part
OF District revenues, the money to be
advanced by the Treasury without fur
ther action by Congress. This would
bypass the appropriations committees.
If Congress would accept this prop
osition, well and good. We acknowledge
that the IF is large one Aside from
that, however, the method of measur-
ing the size Of the payment goes back
to proposal advanced in 1880 by Her
bert Hoover's old Bureau of Efficiency,
which used as bases for its measure
ment of the Federal obligation the Fed
eral Governments liability as a mu-
nicipal taxpayer, plus it's added liability
on account of extraordinary expendi-
lures occasioned by Washington's being
the Capital of the United States. Varia-
tionS of the same idea were SubSe-
quently advanced by other proposed
formulas. One came from the so-called
Jacobs Advisory Committee, set up by
President Roosevelt in 1885; another by
the late Senator Overton of Louisiana
and still another by the late Senator
OMahoney of Wyoming There have
been Others
The best of the formulas was the
original system of matching dollars
raised by local taxes with Federal dol
lars, on $3.50 and later a 6O-4O basis.
1t lasted well over half a century, and
helped change Washington from a
struggling village of unpaved streets to
a Capital worthy of the name. The
results of its final abandonment are
evident today in many of the ugly sore
spots developing in this city, pointed
out by Senator Dodd of Connecticut
and others. They are not going to be
cured until Congress adopts some fair
and logical method of measuring, and
meeting, the Federal Governments
rightful share in meeting the needs of
its Capital.

The Public Has Rights, Too

Attorney General Robert Kennedy
is well known as protector of individual
rights. AS the Nations chief law officer.
however, he is also acutely cognizant of
the right OF the general public to be
protected against spies, kidnaperS and
other major criminals. So, testifying for
an administration wire-tapping bill, he
has given the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee persuasive explanation of the
need for limiting individual rights when
they are in conflict with the right of
society to be Safeguarded by effective
law enforcement.
Il strongly believe" the Attorney
General declared, that every citizen of
the United States has a right not to
have strangers listen in on his telephone
conversations. But this right, like many
other individual rights in our society, is
not absolute or unqualified. Society also
has a right to use effective means of
law enforcement to protect itself from
espionage and subversion, from murder
and kidnapping and from organized crime
and racketeering."
AS Mr.. Kennedy stressed to the
committee, the proposed wire-tap law
actually would make the individuals
right to privacy more secure than under
today'S confusing and chaotic laws OH
the subject. The Department of Justice
measure would outlaw all wire tapping
except that authorized by the courts
Cor, in the case of national security
cases, by the Attorney GeneraD in
restricted category of heinous crimes.
ViolatorS could be prosecuted in the
Federal courts
One right" which the proposed law
would nullify would be that of criminals
to be secure in their use of the tele-
phone-to the extent that they are
immune to prosecution on the basis of
any evidence adduced by wire tapping.
Under the pending legislation, evidence
obtained through authorized wire tap
ping would for the first time be admis-
Sible in Federal courts. To bar such
evidence in law enforcement is senseless
and potentially dangerous.

Bad legislation

Your editorial, Bad Leg
islation," in which you oppose
the pending measure H. R.
1908, furnishes food for
thought
1t is indeed a pity that so
worthy a newspaper as The
Star should allow itself to
oppose a bill purely on selfish
grounds. Your reasoning
against this bill is guided by
the fear of a cut in advertis-
ing revenue.
Why not protect the con-
sumet from the predatory
cut-raters who attract Gus
toners by offering nationally
known brands at prices below
cost as bait. so called "oss
leaders" for the purpose of
selling private unknown
brands at exorbitant prices?

deserves protection and guild
ance. Why not give it to
him? Why not advise him
not to accept merchandise of
doubtful quality? Why not,
instead, direct him to de-
mand nationally known
brands at legitimate prices?
H. R. 9808 and other bills,
such as the Quality Stabiliza-
tion Act, are necessary to cor
rect the abuses now practiced
by some advertisers.

2. Washington attracts tax
exempt activities, such as
foreign agencies, embassies,
patriotic organizations.
3. Building height limita-
tions properly prevent COM
mercial structures from over
Shadowing Federal structures,
precluding skyscrapers COM
mon to large cities, thus lin
iting real estate value and
coincident tax revenues.
4. Washington, unlike 9TH
er metropolitan cities, is un-
able to extend its boundaries
to include growing suburbs.
This is particularly pertinent
to the city's problem consid-
ering that during the last is
years the income of District
residents has not increased
at the rate of surrounding
suburbs.
Extraordinary expenses the
District by its Capital City
role must bear include:
l. Public structures, such as
the new bridges across the
Potomac River. are required
to harmonic with the Fed
eral master plan for the Cap
ital, increasing construction
costs. AS an example, the new
Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
will cost $21a million or SO
per cent more because of
the harmony requirement.
2. The federally conceived
plan for the city calls for
wide, beautiful, tree-lined
streets which few major cities
enjoy but which must be
built and maintained.
3. The National Park Serv-
ice receives more than $3h
million annually from the
District of Columbia govern
ment for maintenance and
operation of federally owned
and controlled parks of a
size and beauty not compa-
rable to most other major
cities.
4. Congress has required
the District to share a sub
Stantial cost of Federal
grants for hospital construc-
ton within the city, yet 40
per cent of the patients
treated at these hospitals are
non-District residents. The
Districts unpaid liability for
this program is currently
SIC million.
5. Federal expansion has
now completely encircled
Washington with a thickly
settled area more populous
than the city itself, requir-
ing construction of expen-
sive arterial highways to
move suburban populations
to and from the city, free
ways within the District it
self reducing taxable land
areas. and costly bridges over
two rivers bracketing the city.
