End Of Patience
Many reasons have been
put forth here and abroad
for patience in our dealings
with Castro. It has been
urged that watchful waiting.
with some economic pres
sures, would end in Mr.. Cas-
tro's downfall and the return
of liberty to the Cuban peo-
pie. It has been argued, too,
that the Monroe Doctrine Is
obsolete 49, the doctrine pro-
nounced by President Nom
roe against the domination
of any American soil by q
foreign nation.
Some of the islands in the
Caribbean, like Cuba and
Puerto Rico, were finally
wrested from Spain when we
, went to war with that coun-
try. 1t appears now that we
do not intend to have Rus
sia take over Cuba after We
have driven the Spaniards
out.
President Kennedy has
forcefully called the turn on
this issue of the Monroe Doc
trine. For while he has re-
queSted all the Latin Ameri-
can countries to act with us
against the Khrushchev-Cas-
tro threat, 1t now seems en-
tirely clear this country will
act unilaterally If it becomes
necessary.
If Mr.. Khrushchev wishes
peace, as he has said, now is
the time for a demonstra-
ton on the Russian part. The
President has told him how
peace can be maintained. He
has also clearly said that If
the Communists want war
they can have it. The Presi-
dents address to the Ameri-
can people and to the world
was unequivocal. Further, he
did not say the United States
would wait to be attacked.
Today Washington Is watt
ing for world opinion of the
Presidents statement - and
action. It is also waiting for
the reply of Soviet Russia
and Castro. 1t seems clear,
however, the, United States
will not be swerved from its
newly charted course.

A BOOK FOR TODAY
Old Frontiers Knights of the Road
By DONALD MINTZ

condensed and reclaimed
product manufactured from
bits and pieces of the poorer
of the secondary materials
cited in the photography.
We are offered a few facts
about the introduction Of
the stages and something :
about the procedures used
by the best detectives of the
day. But too much remains
unclear. On what basis did
stage drivers decide when to
stop when challenged by
robbers and when to make .
a run for it? And what were
the basic techniques for
holding up those impressive
vehicles anyway? Can oc-
casional detail is no subSti- {
tute for a firm grounding.)
The author of a book
about the past reads a few
other books about the past,
in order to set himself down
in his chosen time and place.
Then he reads the docu-
ments that the past has left.
If he is writing an interpre-
tive work he must then think.
If he Is writing a recreative
work, however, he must per-
form a creative act. He must
make the past stand before
him. He must be able to en-
ter it and it must be palpable
to him.
IF HE is A GOOD stylist,
he will convey his own feel
ing well, and that feeling will
be firmly supported by facts.
If he is not, the results will
be less impressive but gen.
orally they will still have an
aura of reality.
But If the past has not re-
vealed itself, all is lost. The
"era" may have been "excit-
ing" but the recreation"
will not be "colorful." There
can be no hiding behind the
slightly sociological doggerel
that Black Bart sometimes
left at the scene of a robbery.
but there may be some un-
Intentional comedy: "The
tragedy of a misspent life
was summed up in a pathetic
letter from Dicks sister Har-
riet which was found on his
body. Written three months
before, it recalled his honest
boyhood and implored him to
leave his evils (Sic) ways"
Harriet may not have been,
a bad sort. But somehow,
Miss Kitty seems preferable.

President Kennedy has
spoken--and in no uncertain
tone-about the Soviet mill
tary buildup in Cuba. He
also has acted. The country
will back him up. This is no
time for recriminations and
criticism of delay. The sole
purpose now must be to as
sure the security Of the Unit
ed States, its people and
those of the rest Of the West
ern Hemisphere.
The President has said we
do not wish war-but that
we will take whatever steps
are necessary for the defense
Of our country. He has put
squarely before Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushclev the issue Of
ceasing and withdrawing the
offensive nuclear buildup in
Cuba of which Mr.. Khru-
shchev has been the engineer.
The President has not issued
a declaration Of war, leaving
that issue to Mr.. Khrushchev
and Cuba's Castro to chew
over. But the President has
taken a decisive step-a ma
val quarantine or blockade Of
Cuba to see that no more OF
these offensive weapons are
shipped into the island from
any source, including Russia.
In other words, Russia n
ships will be halted and
searched before they are per-
mitted to proceed to Cuban
ports. If this kind of contra
band is found, the ships will
be ordered back to the port
from which they have come.
This goes for British ships
and ships under all flags.
Deception Exposed
The perfidy of the Russian
Soviet, which has continued
through Mr.. Khrushchev and
Andrei Gromyko up to this
very moment, has been ex-
posed. They have both told
the President that no often
sive weapons were being sent
to Castro.
Too many persons in the
United States-and in the
countries with which we are
allies-have been soft-ped-
aling the Cuban situation
and for too long. The course
pursued by the Communists
is in line with the whole his
tory of their international
conspiracy. 1t has been to lie,
to steal, as they did atomic
knowledge, and to attempt to
pull the wool over our eyes

Rubber VS.. Rail-

The Stars editorial Rub
ber VS.. Rail" reflects the
disease so prevalent today in
newspaper editorials. No
name has yet been given this
disease, but its symptoms are
clear.
The most readily observed
symptom is the use Of unco-
ordinated facts.
AS an example, you quote
the Meyer-Kain-W n-Wohl report
as stating that in only a few
cities do the evening peak
hour traffic volumes leaving
the central business district
exceed 100000 persons. The
obvious way to coordinate
this fact would be to indicate
if the District is such a city.
Again, you state that $50,
600 persons could be accom-
modated using less than five
lanes Of highway. Does this
mean that with five lanes of
new highway we could take
care of the commuter prob
lem? Shouldn't this fact be
co-ordinated with some other
facts to give a clearer pic
ture?
Although your editorial
opinions need not be based
on fact, wouldn't they be
more convincing If they were?
Wouldn't it be a signifi-
can public service if The
Star would provide its read
ers with the facts of the
transportation problem and
the parking problem?
AS a starter, you might
again do the story Of how
long 1t takes commuters to
reach downtown from differ
ent areas. This might give us
information as to whether
travel time is increasing OF
decreasing. You might do q
story on the actual changes
in traffic over the Potomac
bridges in the last few years.
A comparison of the present
actual figures with those
earlier estimated might re-
veal the accuracy of earlier
estimates. Many other i'm
portant facts that are needed
come readily to mind.
The great interest already
shown in this issue would
probably grow rapidly if the
facts were exposed to full
public view.

A hearing on the closing Of
Halpine Road grade crossing has
been set by the Rockville Mayor
and Council for Oct. Is.
Hearing on the closing is pre-
liminary to construction of a
Rollins Ave-, overpass over the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
tracks. The overpass and its
approaches are to be a coopera-
tive project of the county and
the city of Rockville.
Some 20 parcels of land are
involved in rights of way nego-
tiations. In addition, 81 slope
easements and seven houses
are concerned in county negoti.
atoms.
The overpass and its APP
proaches are expected to cost

When completed, the project
will be part of a thorofare ex-
tending from Rockville Pike to
