Funds for DispIocees

The decision of Congress that Fed
eral aid funds may be used on match
ing basis to help pay the relocation costs
of families displaced by highway con-
struction is vitally important to the Dis
trict of Columbia. Failure Of the High
way Department to provide adequate
assistance to these displacees already has
caused an indefinite deferral Of key
elements of the inner-loop freeway in
Southeast Washington. One Of the ma
jor reasons for this failure, moreover,
was the shortage of local financial
resources.
Under the bill approved just before
adjournment, the Federal Government
will share in relocation costs to a max
imum of 5000 for an individual family
and 5000 for business concern or nom
profit organization, where such pay
ments are authorized by State law. This
legislative authority can and should be
sought in the same bill which the Dis
trict currently is drafting to authorize
the establishment of a much-needed
central relocation Service-a single local
agency which would provide assistance
to families displaced by governmental
action of any sort. The availability OF
Federal-aid funds for highway dis
places should give an additional impe-
tus for Congress to enact this important
legislation early in 1868.

Slow Drivers

Across the Potomac they call them
Virginia Creepers-thoSe slowpoke mo-
torists who drag along the highway as
though they weren't going anywhere
and didn't care when they got there.
Our experience with them has been
extensive-espec on stretches OF
two-way roads where it is illegal or dan
gerous to pass. If the speed limit Is Is,
they will drive 20; If it is 40 they will
amble along at 30 If they speed up
at all, it is only on stretch that is
open, but not quite open enough to pass.
We have always thought that these
zombieS are the greatest menaceS on the
older highways. Consequently, we have
formed very high opinion of DR.. James
L. Malfetti, director Of the highway
safety research project at Columbia
University.
DR.. Malfetti has told the American
Automobile Association that the creeperS
are more dangerous than the SpeederS.
And we are happy to have this confir-
nation of judgment formed by us years
ago. DR.. Malfetti does not condone or
recommend speeding or reckless driving.
He gives a black mark to that ilk, too.
But his primary condemnation is re-
served for the Virginia Creeper and his
counterpart in other areas the I'll
drive-as- -slow-as-I-pleaSe type who
eventually goads those behind him into
taking chances on passing which all too
often result in disaster.

Kennedy's Compoign

Apparently President Ken
nedy is determined to main
tain the absentee record he
established as Senator. 1t is
repugnant to a vast num-
ber of Americans that the
man who is supposed to be
President of all the people
should debase the office by
dabbling to such an extent
in off-year, State elections.
Even more repugnant is the
fact that Mr.. Kennedy is
not even using the oppor-
tunity to inform the people
on the issues, but is merely
mounting a lot of platitudes
and attempting to gain votes
and rule the Nation by ex-
uding charm rather than
specific facts.
I am still hoping to hear
the top man urge his audi
ences to familiarize them
selves with the issues and
vote their convictions; or
does he want us to be "a
nation of sheep?" This would
be tragic in a democracy or
a republic. ID. A. Curran.

Kennedy BIockbuster

without actually Identifying MS
target, President Kennedy fired one OF
the biggest guns Of the current cam
paign in his Indianapolis blast against
Republican Senator Capehart
In his prepared text (the President
sometimes departs from them) Mr.. Ken
nedy had this to say OF the Indiana
Senator: "ThoSe self-appointed gen.
erals and admiralS who want to send
someone else's son to war, and who con-
sistently voted against the instruments
of peace, ought to be kept at home by
the voters and replaced by someone who
has some understanding of what the
goth century is all about"
This is pretty strong political medi-
cine, but it should be taken with at
least a small dose OF salt.
Senator Capehart, in addition to
attacking the Kennedy administration
on virtually all fronts, has been advo-
eating a blockade or an invasion or
Cuba. AS campaign gimmick this may
be helpful in Indiana. But the man
who would be responsible for the dec1-
sion-Mr. Kennedy in this instance
has ample reason to take dim view OF
the Capehart challenge. An invasion,
or even a blockade of Cuba, could in
volve this country in what might well
be a very nasty little war. Perhaps the
day will come when some such action
will have to be taken. For the time
being, however, it seems to us that the
part of wisdom is to rely on less drastic
methods.
Furthermore, If President Kennedy
is.especially sensitive to ringing Repub-
lican calls from Indiana for invasions or
blockadeS Of Cuba, that is understand
able. For he is vulnerable on this point
He is responsible for the decision in
April, 1861, to permit the refugee in
vasion of Cuba to go forward-after it
had been doomed to failure by Mr.. Ken
nedy's decision to call off the American
air cover which, as we understand it,,
had been an essential part of the in
vasion plan.
Mr.. Kennedy, though accepting
responsibility for the failure in the Bay
of Pigs, has never said why he called off
the air cover. Whatever his reasons at
that time, however, it is not surprising
that the military advice in 1862 of Cen
eral (or is it Admiralty Capehart gets
under his skin.

Commutinq Realities

Herbert Griffith's recent
letter Pumping for an ex-
panded highway program in
stead of rapid-rail transit in
the National Capital area ap-
pears to be based on at least
one fallacy.
In characterizing rapid
rail transit exponents as
laying prophets" who hold
that urban people should
not have the pleasure and
convenience" of driving to
work but instead should be
cadged or forced into using
transit vehicles, Mr.. Griffith
appears out of touch with
the realities of modern COM
muting. Although there may
be a few masochists who de-
rive some degree of ''plea-
sure" from crawling at four
miles an hour behind a
fume- -belching bus for two
hours a day, in a car being
amortized at a rate of SO an
hour, it is difficult to believe
that the typical urbanite re-
CARDS the daily driving con-
test as a particularly fulfill
ing experience.
Granted that some in
dividuals, either because OF
their home or work location
or because of the nature of
their work, will always drive
regardless of the rigors, is it
unreasonable to prefer fast,
safe, efficient, cheap rapid
transit2 Is it so difficult to
believe that reasonably in
telligent persons would en-
dure the tortures of Tanta-
lus twice a day in preference
to a comfortable, reclining
seat, air-conditioned train,
moving at 40 mph., costing
perhaps so cents per day,
that would shuttle them
from the general area of
their homes to the general
area of their work k-yet in a
state of mind and body per-
mitting reasonable produc-
tivity instead of mental and
physical exhaustion?
So long as urban people"
like Mr.. Griffith would
rather have their backs
beaten than massaged, no
effective rapid transit in this
area is possible or likely. But
somehow I am convinced
that, If given the choice.
most area commuters would
gladly forsake the pleasure
and convenience" of the hair
shirt-and might even like
it.

Modesty Outmoded?

moded in the public schools
of Montgomery County,

culated in the county:

being the parent of one or
more female students attend
ing the public schools Of
Montgomery County. Mary
land, hereby petition the
County Council, the Board of
Education, and the Superin-
tendent of Schools of that
County to prohibit, by rule,
regulation or appropriate di-
rective, the Physical Educa-
ton Department of the pub
lie schools of that county
from continuing or in any
manner carrying out its pol
icy, program and practice of
compelling each female stu
dent whose doctor will not
certify that she is emotion
ally disturbed or physically
handicapped to denude and
expose herself for the purpose
of taking a group shower with
other girls participating in
the program. We believe
that a program which in
cludes a compulsory group
shower is a violation of the
privacy of each girl involved;
and is as unwarranted as
would be compulsory group
showers for female teachers
and female members of the
Board of Education staff"

Electrical 'PIosmo' Column Created
By THOMAS R, HENRY

Army scientists have just
succeeded in creating a col
umn of "plasma."
This is the electrically
charged matter which makes
up SO per cent of the sub
stance in the universe. The
sun, all the visible stars, the
huge intergalactic clouds in
space and much of the earth's
ionosphere are pure plasma.
It creates a communica-
tions problem that may
plague interplanetary space
ships of the future. Expert
mental radio signals now are
being sent through it.
Creation of the plasma was
accomplished by Drs. Ru-
dolph Buser and Paul M.
Wolfert of the Signal Re-
search Laboratories at Fort
Monmouth, N. ]. They used
an 8-foot tall condenser
bank that delivers a 10-mil-
lion-ampere jolt of electricity
that lasts for a millionth OF
a second.
Great Electrical Surge
The electrical surge for
that instant is about 100
times greater than the out
put of Boulder Dam. 1t rips
apart gas atoms in a thick
walled glass container. A
column of plasma 8 feet
high and 6 inches wide ap-
pears with a bright flash OF
light.
AS the plasma forms and
disappears a radio signal is
aimed through it and re-
ceived on the other side.
When the column is very in
tense it completely blocks the
radio signal, reflecting 1t
back like a mirror. In small
er concentrations the radio
waves are distorted.
These effects are a small
scale laboratory duplication
of what could happen with
space ships trying to ex-
change messages over vast
distances.

producing a fact sheet on

teer workers.
I am such a volunteer,
and I have a copy of this
supposedly inflamma tory
document.
1t is a quiet little study.
obviously carefully research
ed, almost scholarly in tone.
There is nothing in it that
could not be said publicly,
little that has not been. Mr..
Broyhill surely does not deny
it's statements-that in 1855
he signed the Southern Man
ifesto, that in 1858 he pro-
posed for Virginia three sep
arate school systems, lone
white, one colored, and one
for those who wish to inte-
grate," a plan called uncon-
stitutional by a Tennessee
court a year earlier; that in
1860 he led a fight in the
House to keep his district
from receiving Capper-Cram-
ton funds for parks and
Fairgrounds; that in 1862 he
announced the offering of
grants for sewage projects
in his district under the
Federal Water Pollution Act,
an Act which he had voted
against. Does he deny that
he has regularly worked
against public action to meet
the downtown Washington
parking problem; does he
deny that he himself has re-
ceived a free parking pass?
I would agree that this
record is not one to be proud
of, but why does Mr.. Broy-
hill keep insisting that a
simple description of it is a
smear Sheet?"

Legal Opinion

Present conflicts within our
country and with other coun-
tries have risen to the point
where nobody profits, unless
1t is those who wish a world
of chaos. It is time to ex-
anime the methods which i'm
plement our PHILOSOPHERS. One
very important method is the
law. We pride ourselves as
being governed by laws, and
when we do not like a law,
we change it.
H. G. Wells, in Outline OF
History" in referring to the
codification of the Roman
law by Justinian about 528-
534 AID. had this to say:
Existing law seems to him
to be based upon a confused
foundation of conventions,
arbitrary assumptions and
working fictions about hu-
man relationship and to be
a very impracticable and an
tiquated system indeed; he is
persuaded that a time will
come when the whole theory
and practice of law will be
re-cast in the light of a
well-developed science of So
cial psychology in accordance
of a scientific conception OF
human society as one de-
yeloping organization, and in
definite relationship to sys-
TEN of moral and intellec-
tual education. He contem-
plated the law and lawyers Of
today with a temperamental
lack Of appreciation"
I have long been of the
opinion that our present-day
laws, changed at will by
lawyers and judges "a Judge
is Just a glorified lawyer,
have become such a mess that
we do not, as a people, know
where we stand. We know
that If the ends of justice
are served by the law as it is
interpreted and administered
today, it is either a mistake
or an accident. Many people
today have neither confidence
in nor respect for the law.
and all of this should be
heaped upon the heads Of the
lawyers and judges.

Tidy Up D. c.

AS one professionally in
volved in urban renewal mat
ters and personally dedicated
to this city which has been
my home for 80 years, I am
appalled, at the increasing lit
ter in our streets and the
blighting effect it has upon
both property and human
values.
1t would be a public serv-
Ice If The Star were to devote
a series of articles to a fac
tual survey of these condi-
tionS, and I am sure a num-
ber of concerned citizens can
be found who would be glad
to concert and promote a pro-
gram for a cleaner city.
No doubt much Of the in
creased litter is due not so
much to a decline in civic
pride and personal neatness
as to the increasing layers Of
packaging with which manu-
facturers so lovingly sur
round their products. One So
luton would appear to be to
encourage tailors to equip
clothing with litter bags as
car manufacturers are doing;
undoubtedly cities must take
account of these develop
ments and devote a greater
proportion of their munich
pal budgets to street sweep
ing and washing services than
the present one per cent rule
of thumb. The District OF Co
lumbia, I understand, oper-
ates it's sanitation services
with about the same number
of persons as 10 years ago.
Stricter enforcement OF no
littering codes would also be
desirable. Certainly, a cam
paign of public education
would be effective.
In any case, the willingness
of cities and the Federal Gov
ernment to devote enormous
sums to demolition and re-
construction in order to make
our cities more attractive and
habitable indicates that re-
sources are available for an
attack upon litter. 1t requires
no statistical demonstration
to prove that an abatement
of litter would accomplish
more, at less cost, towards the
improvement of our cities
than often greater sums spent
in demolition of structures.
