Montgomery Trees

1t has Just come to my at
tention that in the planning
for doubling the width of
Bradley boulevard, in Mont
gomery County, no thought
appears to have been given
to the problem Of protecting
the trees on the east side Of
the right-of-way. This is the
right-hand side "going out"
Bradley. There is to be a
grass strip in the center, be-
tween the newly widened
strips, and possibly some
planting there. But at the
side indicated, where the
new line of the boulevard
will cut deeply into many
private properties at best,
neither the Maryland State
Roads Commission nor the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion has any planting plan
whatever.
This is particularly un-
fortunate for the reason that
the Potomac Electric Power
Company, which will be re-
quired to place its poles at
the side Of the highway
rather than In the center
strip, is now planning to line
them up without any appar-
ent supervision or control by
any public agency.
Anyone who likes trees,
and who will take the trou-
BILE to observe what has hap
pened to them all through
Chevy Chase and Bethesda
where the PEPCO lines run,
will see that they have been
mutilated a min ably to
make it easier for linemen
to function and prevent dam
age during wind storms.
PEPCO has its own problems.
Of course, and possessing the
power of eminent domain, as
it does. has the legal right
to top a tree, slice off the
side Of a great elm, or cut
out the center Of any spread
ing tree for its own protec-
ton and convenience. Some
Of the visible results are ap-
palling. And now, as things
stand, the same thing is to
happen along the new, wide
strip Of Bradley boulevard
serving one Of the most beau
tiful sections of Montgomery
County. Why don't the ap-
propriate agencies and the
people who live out that way
do something about it?
There is one solution that
occurs to me. There are
types Of trees that grow more
or less perpendicularly, as
contrasted with those which
spread like elms. If the Roads
Commission, Park and Plan
ming Commission, PEPCO
and private property owners
got together, a planting plan
could be worked out that
would let the PEPCO lines
run through an informal
lane of trees where trees and
wires would both be pro-
tected.

cases recently. This was a
fact, as within 80 minutes
time the State police found
the car totally destroyed on
a much-traveled Maryland
highway.
How long must we put up
with such predatory acts in
our communities, with the
courts veritably slapping the
hands of these offenders
when finally caught? We
must deal with such perpe-
traitors, with their disregard
for law and order, diSrespect
for property of others, as
quickly and decisively as
they acted in destroying this

the Democrats, and notably
Mr.. Kennedy, did not.
How effective the approach
may be is yet to be seen. Be-
yond all doubt, it could have
been highly effective had the
President listened to the ex-
cited recommendations Of the
left-wing of his party to get
tough" with business, through
punitive legislation, in the
wake of the episode with
steel.
Franklin Roosevelt or Har-
ry Truman might well have
responded happily to such
proposals. But Mr.. Kennedy
will not. He intends to try
to let bygones be bygoneS-
and also to expand his at
tempts to convince business
tnat ne hlmSelf is lar from
"anti-buSineSS."
An Interesting Duel
The country therefore may
see an arresting duel be-
tween two young men, each
Of great inherited wealth
and each the personification
of the boons of the free en-
terprise system. for the IA
vor of the national business
community. (The point that
many Republicans would
surely rather have Mr.. Nixon
as their champion in this de-
bate is entirely valid. The
simple fact is, however, that
Gov. Rockefeller has far the
bigger megaphone from the
mansion at Albany than Mr..
Nixon can have in trying to
reach the California mansion
at Sacramento.)
Undoubtedly, Gov. Rookie
feller starts ahead. For busi-
ness generally is far fonder
Of Republicans-for good
reasons, in some wayS-than
of Democrats. Still, Mr.. Ken
nedy is usually a strong fin
iSher. Nor should it be for='
gotten that he is after all
still the son of his father, the
profoundly pro-buSinesS Jo-s
Seph P. Kennedy.
Business itself can take
considerable comfort from
the whole affair. When both
sides are trying to appeal to
it, nothing too terrible can
happen to business. And
however business may fear
"the professors" and the re-
form-happy liberals in Con-
greSS, neither set is running,
this particular railroad, in
any way. :

The chief interest in ma
tional politics has suddenly
and dramatically turned from
world crisis TO the homely old
dollars and cents issues.
At least the beginnings of
a real argument between
President Kennedy and his
hopeful G. o. P. presidential
rivals for 1864 are now de-
veloping.
Yesterday, when foreign
policy dominated the Nations
concerns, there was in fact no
genuine inter-party dispute
at all. The top Republican
possibilities for 1864, Rich
ard Nixon and Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York,
were offering no partisan
challenge here to Mr.. Ken
nedy. This was for the sound
reason that essentially they
were in agreement with him
on such world matters as
the maintenance of Western
rights in Berlin and the re-
sumption of nuclear testing.
Now, however, and alto
gether logically or not, the
atmosphere of world crisis is
tightening. Though there still
is no realistic prospect for
any early settlement on Ber-
lin, there is the strong pos
sibility of a relatively quiet
Stand-off there for the FORE
seeable future.
Thus, an old = fashioned
party discussion is opening,
in the area of governmental
budgets, taxes and business
incentives.
Rockefeller Poses Issue
This is the central meaning
Of Gov. Rockefeller'S new ef-
fort to proclaim a fundamen-
tai economic division with
President Kennedy. 1t was
particularly illustrated in a
recent speech in Detroit in
which Gov. Rockefeller
agreed that Mr.. Kennedy has
"articulated the proper (tax)
detectives" but suggested
that the President just didn't
know how to reach those OBJ
jectives.
This, before an audience of
industrialists, was meant to
divide Republican sheep from
Democratic goats. Gov. Rock
efeller was saying that the
Republicans, and notably
himself, really understood
business problems, whereas

1nE OSES Ot fOWEh, z CASE
in American Politics edited b
Alan F. Westin. 376 pp. Char
court, Brace & World, Inc
$3.50
"The Uses of Power" is a
case study view Of American
government; more specifical-
ly it is about the power to
govern in America" which
perhaps is not quite the same
thing.
Alan F. WeStin of Colum-
bia University, the editor of
the volume, explains that
1--WE have concentrated on the
seven major seats Of power in
the American political system
Congress, the Presidency,
State and Federal courts,
regulatory agencies, political
parties. local and State gov
ernment, and private interest
groups.
". Each case considers
some conflict of the past
decade-some conflict rep
resentative of issues that re-
main vital and alive today"
We begin with Congress.
Hugh Douglas Price of Co.
lumbia shows the interaction
of that body with the Presi-
dent and pressure groups in
a detailed analysis Of the de-
feat of President Kennedy's
1861 aid-to-education pro-
gram. The essay is called
Race, Religion and the
Rules Committee: The Ken
nedy Aid-to- Education Bills"
Prof. Rice sets a tone that
is maintained throughout
the volume. A subject that is
effectively complex to begin
with and is then made still
more difficult to grasp by the
intrusion of powerful emo
tional factors and a fair
number of wholly irrelevant
considerations is treated with
Suren eSs, dispaSsion and
moderation.
Prof. Rice's essay is really
about both the Presidency
and the Congress. The edi-
tor assigns it the heading
1.-The Congress" because the
second essay deals with the
President in a situation in
which he was able to act rel
atively freely.
THE PRESIDENT in ques-
ton is Harry Truman, and
the study by Louis w. Koenig
of New York University deals
with Foreign Aid to Spain
and Yugoslavia: Harry Tru-
man Does His Duty"
Then we turn to the courts.
In "Bookies and Bugs in
California: Judicial Control
of Police Practices" Prof.
Westin reviews problems of
evidence in criminal proceed
ings, especially the curious
idea that evidence obtained
illegally is admissible in
court. This-to the layman-
remarkable legal concept
held sway for many years
and was overturned in June,
1861, in Mapp v. Ohio, a case
that forms the climax of the
essay.
This brings us to the Fed
eral regulatory agencies and
scandal. In How to Get into

cations Commission and Mi
