the merger absorbed many Of
Capitals personnel, and pas
senger traffic scared.
Last month, United boarded
27,522 passengers at Friendship
airport and 38,478 at National
The $1,000 total was an in
crease of 224.5 per cent over
May, 1861.
Increase Reported
For the first five months OF
1861, United boarded 84,279
passengers at area airports
This year, the same period saw
boardings climb to 172,438-an
increase of 240.3 per cent.
Before the merger, United
operated nine daily departures
at National and Is at Friend
ship. Today, the line has IS
daily departures at National
and 20 at Friendship.
One Of the brightest results
Of the merger has been Unit
eds acceptance Of the Wis
count. The company's initial
lack Of enthusiasm over the
prophet airliner has now been
replaced by strong indorSe-
ment. 1t now appears the Wis
count will be retained for sew
eral years.
Prior to June 1861. United
employed about $50 persons in
Washington. Capitals force
totaled 2,700. Currently, Unit
ed employs about $500 here,
including the maintenance
base, station employees, crew
members living here; south
eastern and regional personnel
and flight operations people
headquartered here.
Personnel Shifted
Following the merger, Unit
ed moved all executive func-
tons from Washington to Chi
cago-a transfer Of about 70
people. Thirty more went to
Pittsburgh and about 245 more
went to United's main over
haul base in San Francisco.

dumping Ground

No one can say with certainty the
degree to which preventable mechanical
failures have been responsible for auto
mobile accidents in the State of Mary
land. But certainly committee of the
General Assembly Legislative Council is
right in its conclusion that substantial
number Of accidents attributable to this
cause could be eliminated with an eff
fective system Of compulsory auto in
Spection. 1t is encouraging, therefore,
that the influential council has voted to
support the establishment of such
system at the session of the Legislature
starting In January.
For no diScernible reason, efforts In
this direction have begged down at each
of the last several sessions of the LegiSla-
ture, while Maryland steadily has gained
a reputation as a dumping ground for
cars which could not pass inspection
in other jurisdictions. Moreover, there
was an ominouS note the other day in
the conflict which arose in the LegiSla-
tive Council discussion over the most
desirable form Of inspection. The reSo-
luton of these differences should pose
no great problem, however, II the Tawes
administration lives up to its campaign
pledge to strongly support the enact
ment OF an effective program in 1868.

That Friendly Collector

Among things that happen only
infrequently in our town are: % Re-
publican congressman speaking we'll of
Democratic administrators, and (2)
anybody speaking admiringly of the tax
collector. When both happen at once it
is worth comment
This did come to pass in the final
days OF the last congressional session
when Representative John R. Pillion,
New York Republican, took the time
and trouble to extend" some interest
ing remarks in the Congressional Record
on the able performance of Internal
Revenue Commissioner Mortimer Cap
lin. AS senior minority member on the
House Appropriations Subcommittee that
handles the Internal Revenue Service
budget, Mr.. Pillion qualities as an au-
thority. His particular interest in Mr.
Caplin, he explained, arose out of the
directors testimony to the Subcommit-
tee on how he planned to run the service
with the money appropriated for it by
Congress. The answer, Mr.. Pillion added,
was one Of the cleareSt and most SEN
sible things had heard from any agency
in Government" He inserted in the Rec
ord October 9, 1862 a memorandum
from Mr.. Caplin to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the basic principles and
programs of the IRIS Happily, it is more
reasSuring than frightening to a tax
payer.
We agree with Mr.. Pillion that go
million taxpayers and close to 500 bill
lion in revenue to account for add up
to big job" The IRIS, incidentally,
places the figure more modestly at 500 4
billion, but adds that this is the "high-
est amount collected in any one year
by any nation in the history of man
kind" Even If it is still not enough,
judging by latest deficit estimates, it
certainly is lot of money. And as one
OF the sixty Million" we are ready, on
the basis of Mr.. Pillion's exhibit, to
indorSe his commentator of Mr.. Cap
lin and the agency he heads. II this
helps keep us out of trouble, so much
the better.

Help From the Bar

1t is highly gratifying that the Dis
trict Bar Association has named a COM
mittee of 10 respected lawyers to make
a study of what is happening to law
enforcement in this city under judge
made engagements of the Mallory rule.
Among the members Of this COM
mittee are former president Of the
American Bar Association, three past
presidents of the District Bar AsSocia-
ton, and a former president of the
Washington Bar Association. There can
be no doubt that they will make a COM
petent, conscientious study, and that
their recommendations, If any, should
command respect.
The decision to appoint the COM
mittee came in the wake of the recent
to ruling by the Court of Appeals
in the Killough casa ruling which
very probably will result in the release
OF man who murdered his wife and
buried her body in the city dump.
The Mallory rule, as announced by
the Supreme Court, requires that an
arrested suspect be arraigned without
unnecessary delay. This means that the
suspect must be brought before Judge
or magistrate, warned of his right to
remain silent and be given an oppor-
tunity to obtain a lawyer. None of this
was done in the Mallory case until after
7l2 hours, and as a result his confession
that he had raped woman was thrown
out and he was released A short time
later he was convicted in an attempted
rape case in Philadelphia, where the
Mallory rule does not apply, and he is
now serving long penitentiary sentence.
The Killough case was somewhat
different. He, too, confessed during a
period of illegal detention" prior to
arraignment. But he also made second
fully voluntary confession after he had
been arraigned, warned of his rights and
had rejected the proffered services of a
lawyer. The appellate majority, in an
opinion which Judge Miller properly de-
scribed as Shocking" threw out this
second confession and the supporting
evidence which proved that it was truth
full. The theory was that the second
voluntary and truthful confession was
the fruit Of a tree" that had been
poisoned" by the prior illegal detention.
Bar Association President Thomas
S. Jackson, in an understatement, said
he recognizes that the minority opinions
in the Killough case amount to more
than just difference on an academic
principle of law" They do indeed. In
our opinion, they raise serious queS-
ton as to whether, under the prevailing
judicial trend, it will be possible to pro-
tect the public in the Nations Capital.

Wary of Ballet

How deplorable that after
Moscow's servants at the
Berlin wall plainly show their
culture by numbering people,
our citizens with great de-
light accept Moscow's Bolshoi
Ballet. Undoubtedly the Boil
shot Ballet is a very valuable
cultural asset, but intelligent
people should be able to look
behind the scenes and I'M
derstand that the BolShoi
Ballet is a part of Commu-
mist propaganda designed to
break American resistance
against Communist agrees
sion. A few years ago the
Chinese Communist leader
Mao Tse-tung said, al
though literature and art are
subordinate to politics. they
in turn exert a tremendous
influence upon politics. Lit
erature and art are part of
a revolutionary program"
In 1855 Nikita Khrushchev
admitted the same by de-
claring the cultural ex-
changes as one of those de-
velopments which will bring
about the growing weakness
of the United States and ad-
vance world socialism - the
Communist revolution.
The Communists have
openly declared their plans
and methods to conquer us.
But our people do not heed
them. Now the Communist
Bolshoi Ballet is on a three
month tour of the United
States with large audiences
already lined up. While the
wall of Shame" exists and
many countries are enslaved,
it is unbelievable that we,
freedom loving Americans.
can sit in a theater and en-
Joy performances by people
who are sent to prepare the
way of our destruction.

To Determine the Facts

1t would be eXpedient, no doubt,
If the Commissioners needed the House
District Committees admonition and
deferred action leading to the adoption
of discrimination housing regula-
tions until the District Committee held
Its own hearings in the matter. But we
agree with the Commissioners, whether
it is expedient or inexpedient, that their
decision to go ahead with their own
hearings on the subject is the right de-
cision. If the District Committee has
any repriSalS in mind, that Is another
bridge to be crossed when it is reached.
The Commissioners have been ad-
viSed by counsel that they are empow-
cred, under broad police powers conferred
by Congress in 1892, to promulgate
anti discrimination regulations in
housing, proUided-Q) That demon
strable danger to the lives, limbs, health,
comfort and quiet Of persons, or to the
safety Of property" does, as matter of
fact, now exist in the District as a result
of discriminatory practices in the houS-
ing field, and (2) that this danger can
be avoided by regulations.
The Commissioners have therefore
set public hearing November 80 to
receive testimony as to the demonstra-
BILE danger, whether or not the evidence
supports its existence as a matter Of
fact. If persuaded that the danger does
exist, another hearing will be held to
consider the form and scope of remedies
available through regulation.
This is going to take some time.
We doubt that it will be finished before
Congress reconvenes. If so, and if the
Commissioners adopt regulations, the
District Committee and Congress have
the unquestioned authority to annul
them. In the meantime, the Commits
sioners are correct in deciding to tackle
the preliminaries, as outlined above.

Short-CHcuited

Harold Aitken, the District highway
director, no doubt anticipated the un-
favorable reaction of the Fine Arts Com
mission to his plan to erect traffic-Signal
poles in the middle of Pennsylvania
avenue at every intersection between
the Treasury Department and the Cap
itol. Unquestionably, that is why he
proceeded to put up the poles without
asking for an opinion.
Mr.. Aitken does not say this was So.
He says he did not consider that the
stop-and-go lights would constitute a
matter of Pennsylvania esthetics lover
which the Fine Arts Commission has
general authority, but rather a matter
OF traffic control and pedestrian safety
which falls in his own baliwick
Really, Mr.. Aiken! AS the Highway
Department has good reason to know,
hardly anything concerns the Fine Arts
Commission as much as light poles. And
certainly, where the middle of Pennsyl-
vania avenue is concerned, the distinc-
ton between towering StanchionS for
purposes of illumination and those for
purposes Of traffic control would be
largely academic to the commission.
Either, in its eyes, would be an abom-
ination.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Aitken
does seem to have the upper hand for
the moment. For his middle of -the-road
lights Except for three directly in front

are up. The amazing thing, however, is
that the highway director apparently
thought he could get away with it with
out fight.
For Of course he won't. The hackles
Of the Fine Arts Commission are up, and
Chairman Finley already has served no
tice that he will ask the District to
appear before his group for "a discus
sion" at its next meeting If the past is
any guide, that will not be the end Of
it. Another quarter still to be heard
from, moreover-and with which Mr..
Aitken also neglected to checks the
special presidential advisory commission
which is studying the entire question
OF Pennsylvania avenue estheticS.
The moral in all this is that high
way officialS-no matter how just they
think their cause may be-gain no real
advantage in trying to Short-circuit the
Fine Arts Commission on questions of
eSthetics. And they shouldn't try.

Stadium Debt

1t was reported in The
Star that last summer Dis
trict Commissioner Walter N.
T o briner had Informally
asked Interior Secretary
Udall if he would be Inter
ested" in assuming the re-
sponSibility for the city's
debt-ridden stadium. This is
characteristic of the think
ing of the day-that the Fed
eral Government should take
responsibility for every VEN
ture, local or national, that
goes amiss.
This type of thinking is
quite unfortunate. When the
District decides to build a
stadium, it assumes RESPONSE
bility for its future. Now Mr..
Tobriner seems to be trying
to shift this responsibility to
the Federal Government be-
cause of the lack of fore
sight on the part of the D. C..
Government.
This attempt at a shift Of
responsibility should be ex-
amined very carefully before
any action is taken. If the
Federal Government is al
lowed to assume responsible
ty for the products of such
failures in foresight, it's area
of control will become enor-
nous. 1 can see no reason
why the Federal Government
should throw tax dollars into
bailing out local failures.
