Parents Have a Responsibility

phone other parents and in
quire. Usually they find those
parents also puzzled and IN
decisive.
Much of the trouble, studies
show, in school and neighbour
hood, is caused by an I'M
disciplined few whose parents
have spoiled them with ex-
pensive automobiles and free
dom to do as they please, and
whose parents do not seem to
care how their children pa
rade their rule-free, undisci-
plined conduct before others.
Such groups. no matter
what the social status Of
their parents, are dangerous
influences and should frankly
be recognized as that by other
parents and schools that in
clude them as students. Chill
dren who become involved
with these groups should be
promptly and forthrightly re-
moved from them and kept
under discipline.
Parents-say the experts
cannot avoid the needed rudi-
mentary responsibility.

Capitol Group
Hits Road Plan

A Capitol Hill citizens group
has registered itself as against
the proposed location of the
East Leg of the Inner Loop Ex-
pressway to the White House.
In a letter sent to President
Kennedy earlier this week,
Maurice Contor, president of
the Capitol Hill Community
Council, based the groups OBJ
jections on the fact that the
proposed Eleventh Street route
would eliminate historic Lin
coin Square. The group favors
allocating the freeway east of
the square.
The letter was prompted
when a question on the monu-
ment was raised by a reporter
during a presidential press con-
ference. Yesterday it was an
nounced that matter support

That Republicans are ready
to gamble is easy to under
stand. Democrats prevailed
in three straight congress
sional elections during the
eight Eisenhower years. Re
publicans have won Congress
only twice in the last IS
years, one of those being in
1916 when President Truman
was fumbling with his in
herited problems and a meat
shortage exasperated the
public.
What Mr.. Truman man
aged to do two years later to
over-confident Republicans
who opposed his domestic
programs is history. 1roni-
cally, they helped give him
the International programs
which insure his high place
in history.
President Kennedy, enjoy
ing a lovely interval of sue
cess with Astronaut Glenn
and his fellow-Americans,
has many problems which
could affect his present high
popularity rating. Chief of
these is unemployment and
the still sluggish rate of
economic growth. But the
record suggests that he will
be making proposals regard
ing these ills and that the
opposition will be saying no.

G. O. P. Leaders Are Believed PUSHING
Democrats Into Conservative SPOT

Republican congressional
leadership is rapidly pushing
the opposition party into a
stanchly conservative posi-
ton in the elections this fall.
1t is a big gamble but mod
crate Republicans appear
helpless to alter it.
Gathering dust in the files
is the proposal adopted by
the National Committee
which calls for greater ef-
forts in the metropolitan
areas which gave the Presi-
dency to John F.. Kennedy in
1860. To make a real impact,
such efforts would require
careful groundwork, a con-
certed effort to gain public
attention and at least a
modicum of cooperation
from the congressional mi
norities.
None is in sight with the
election about eight months
away. Machinery is thus
lacking for any real repre-
sentation of the moderate
point of view and to all in

What do "firsts" really
mean? Time was when Lind
bergh was the first to fly
alone nonstop across the
Atlantic to Paris. Who re-
members the year and that
it took him SO hours?
Today, it is routine to fly
the Atlantic to Paris in seven
hours. Maybe it soon will be
routine for people to take a
world cruise in the skies on
Sunday afternoon and go

Stes.
What, however, really COM
pares with the sensational
reaction of the American
people to the feat of 1t. Col.
John H. Glenn in circling the
globe three times in one day?
PROBABLY the most thrilling
moment the American people
ever experienced previously
was the announcement that a
cable had been laid success
fully in the Atlantic Ocean
to Europe on August 10,
1858, after repeated attempts
had failed in prior years.
While the flight around
the world by Col. Glenn
doesn't Immediately change
the life of a single person
here or abroad, the laying of
the Atlantic cable affected
at once peoples on both sides
OF the ocean. Prior to that
time. it took many weeks to
get a letter by boat to rela-
tives in Europe and many
more weeks to receive a reply.
The anXieties that were
felt when members of the
family were i'll can hardly be
described even in retrospect.
The most graphic state
ment of the emotions of the
American people after the
laying of the Atlantic cable
comes from the pen of
George Templeton Strong, a
famous New York lawyer
whose diary was published by
the Macmillan Co. in 1852
a half century after his
death. He wrote:
