From This Angle
Prejudice, Bigo+ry & Intolerance

In the whirl of words spewing out of the
television and radio and in neat rows of type
in various publications we can hear and see
the results of the efforts of many people to
inform us, confuse us, mold our thinking, and
persuade us to buy this or do that Psychia-
trists, psychologists, sociologistS, and other
professionals aid the writer's in this enormous
effort.
The choice of words in these efforts may
be very important. The words may not mean
what they seem to say at times, but if they
are slanted to an emotional level they can
have great effect in molding others opinions
The words used in the title of this column are
examples. Calling a man prejudiced, bigoted
or intolerant when he is in opposition to you
puts him on the defensive and he will some
times shift to defensive effort to show why
he isn't what you called him. This may be an
excellent tactical move, but it usually doesn't
produce much light or truth
Prejudice means prejudgment, an opinion
that is not based on facts. l can go to certain
areas of our nation where almost all of the
people are uneducated and in poverty. If I
were to say that all people of this particular
state, of this particular county or of this par
ticular race were all poor and ignorant I
would be wrong. My opinion would be based
on one fact that does not fit many of the
people of the same state, county, or race I
would therefore, be prejudiced against these
people.
The other two terms in the title of this
column-bigotry and intolerance-are discuss
ed in an excellent book entitled STANDARD
Handbook of Synonyms Antonyms & Prepos-
tons" by James c. Fernald Funk & Wagnalls
Coz. Under the heading of "Fanaticism' ap.
pears the following:
"Fanaticism is extravagant or even fren-
lied zeal; bigotry is obstinate and unreasoning
attachment to a cause or creed; fanaticism
and bigotry usually include intolerance which
is unwillingness to tolerate beliefs or opinions
contrary to ones own superstition is ignor-
ant and irrational religious belief Credulity is

Welsh Rare Bit
Barney's Love Affair

There is no question about it: the motor
cars that come out of Detroit today are better
than those produced yesterday. For the motto
of Detroit's motor moguls is that all change is
progress and all of our yesterdays are fail
ures. And Detroit has succeeded in selling
dream to Americans; it is a dream that re-
wolves around the great love affair which Mr..
John @. America has kept alive with the auto
mobile. In this dream, he sees himself as the
conquering lover, the masterful executive, or
the young person on the way up, if only own
ership of the right style, color and make car
can be achieved
Yes, there is no question about it, when
it comes to Dreams prestige, and to good rel-
able transportation, the new car is thousand
times better than anyone of the 300 antique,
vintage, veteran and classic cars that will ar
rive in Rockville this Saturday at the Civic
Center with various emissions of smoke rum
blings snortings bellowings and whole-heart-
ed profanity.
But in absolute disregard OF my better
judgment and in violation of my common
sense. do not own automobile which is
less than ten years old. Actually no one can
afford to own an automobile, old or new, any
more than man can afford to keep four
mistresses; and man who owns a classic
or antique car is fool. 1 own four of them,
and as far as fools i'm the classic car hobby
is concerned about all can say in defense of
myself is that there are many fools who own
more classic cars than /.
1t is hard for me to justify my passion
for classic cars When you take the trip to
the Civic Center, you might ask some of the
proud owners lust WhV thew are welded to

eral thousand dollars in it,
No owner of an antique or classic car can
honestly say that they drive easier than a new
car; or get from one point to another faster,
OF that they are safer or that they are more
comfortable. Heck, some Packards and Lin
coins steers like heavily-loaded trucks; some
Cadillacs and Marmons have questionable
road holding ability; and it is well known that

the much touted Rolls Royce is only master
piece of craftsmanship over engineering.
Then why is it that one of the most en-
ioyable hobbies in America? And one OF the
hobbies where seriousnnded men and frivo-
lous teenagers can meet and talk on an equal
basis, this business of collecting ancient and
honored cars and exhibiting them at Old Car
Meets? Well do not know the answer. And
I have heard it discussed with vigor and nos
talgia by some thoughtful men,
have my theory. 1t is very simple. 1t is
fun to drive a classic car Maybe you have
seen me driving that endlessly long Packard
down to Seen Beans store on Mungummery
Aveue in Rockville or maybe you have seen
a red Marr1on or white Mercedes being sor
rowfuly lowed in by Ralph Gates after an
abortive outing You can bet on one thing
That while driving the Packard, or before the
other cars were being towed, I was having
fun, and the chances are everyone who had
been to the Old Car Meet had also had fun.
Did you know that you step up to get into
that Brunn Packard you don't bunch your
shoulders down and draw in your rear and
step down and wonder if you are going to sit
on the asphalt street as you do when getting
into modern car? A man and particularly
woman can make a dignifed entrance and
exit from that Packard. When 1 want to i'm
press the peasants 1 drive the Packard. One
time in front of Constitution Hall, I arrived
there in it about the same time that Pablo
CasaIs arrived in a new Cadillac. They didn't
know he had arrived until he sat down and
played, and they nearly escorted me upon the
stage and made me a member of the National
Symphony Orchestra.
suppose my ego is mighty weak to need
a twelve-cylinder Packard for a superstruc-
ture But at least didn't buy it with the de-
lusons that was buying romance, or would
find willing wanton tucked away in the back
seat, or that I would drive it like a maniac
through cactus and sage brush and ocean
water as those nuts on TV do bought it be-
cause I liked the way it drove and looked and
l am going to keep it for the same reasons.

Urban Renewed Threuf

BY vote of 81 the Rockville City Council Monday
night offered local commercial and coming for 400 apart
mentS to Milton Polnger and his associates for the 400
acre Anderson tract bordering Rockville if the tract
comes part of the city through annexation.
The action hasty, highly il-advised and could
dangerously undercut the citys almporant urban
newal program.
Currently in the hroes of designing an urban renewal
program that is crucay important to the future of Rock
vle the city fathers would have done well to proceed
little more slowly. Why the haste?
On Monday night the city councmen received for the
first time the elaborate land utilization study compiled to
serve as foundation upon which the urban renewal pro-
gram will be built Yet the same night without glance at
the important land utilization study the councimen indi-
facilities that may bear relation to the urban renewal
program on which they should be concentrating all their
efforts
Approval of five of commercial and 20 acres of
apartments for Mr. Polnger should be than enough
to bring him into the city But the indicated approval of So
acres OF RS (haf acre. zonng situated between the
commercial and the apartment tracts could ultimately be-
come huge commercial and apartment complex bigger
than the urban renewal itself What then would hap
pen to the urban renewal area? certainty that
the 36acres of RS will not be developed as haacre lots
Is the city council decevng itself and Rockville residents?
The councimen's action in point of fact lends solid
support to charges-deended the past by the Sentinel
tnat aexatonhappy cities and towns eager to make land
grabs, could eventually wreck orderly planning in Upper
Montgomery County.
1t is also ironic in view of the approval of the large
apartment tract that the Monday action was taken by
political faction which campaigned on platform of limit
ing apartment growth in Rockville
City residents eager see the present heart of their
community rejvenated and become wel-panned thirty
ing commercial center conveniently serving all their needs
may well ponder whether the present city council will func
ton to bring this about.

Mr.. Heckman's structures on

controlled group of Just a few
individuals, rather than the

it purports to be-" The asso-
citation has never sought or
claimed to be large, or to be

ito encourage and promote
sound planning and develop
ment in Montgomery County"
Its membership is now larger
than ever before - about ITO,
of whom 1913 have paid their
So dues for 1862. A good mum.
Der of its members are pro-
feSSional persons with a COM
petence in fields related to
planning.
AS for tight control: Nom-
nations are made by a nom-
mating committee only a min

bers of the board. Nominations
may also be made by petition
of five members, and from the
floor of the annual meeting.
There is a standing policy,
moreover, of welcoming men,
bers at any meeting of the
board of governors, and inter.
ested non-members are never
turned away.
The association would main
tain that its right to be heard
by public bodies rests, not on
any economic interest we re-
present, not on any votes we
sway, but strictly on the fact
that we try to give conscienti-

Miami Editors
Home Bombed

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 10 (AP).-
Authorities say an absence Of
clues indicates professionals
were responsible for the early
morning bombing Of the home
Of Don Shoemaker, editor of
the Miami Herald.
Although the bomb shattered
windows in three houses and
shook homes for blocks. there
were no injuries.
The bomb was set off about
2 am, yesterday and no trace
Of the explosives remained. In
vestigators said they had no
clues.
Sheriff Thomas j. Kelly said
the lack Of evidence at the
scene indicated the bombing
was the work Of professionals.
1t. Tom Brodie, head of
the Metropolitan Public Safety
Department. said the equiva-
lent of two pounds of 40 per
cent dynamite, equal to about
four sticks, had been used and
he said it was possible the
bombers landed by boat from
nearby Biscayne Bay.
The bomb exploded outside
the bedroom of Mr.. Shoemaker's
10-year-old daughter, Eliza
beth, showering splintered glass
near her bed, but the main
force was DETECTED toward a
neighbours home.
John s. knight, publisher of
the Herald, called it a coWardly
act and offered $4,000 reward
for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the
dynamiters.
Authorities sought to deter
mine If the blast had any con-
nections with q three-week-old
bus strike but union leaders de-
MED it. The Herald has editori-
ally criticized the strike Of bus
drivers and mechanics which
arose when the city took over
the Miami and Miami Beach
bus lines from private owner
ship.
"This union doesn't stoop to
such tactics" said w. o. Fra
Zier, president of the bus driv-
ers' local. Anything that hap
pens in the next six months will
be blamed on the union by
some people"
At least four bombings have
occurred in the Miami area
during the last two years. Most
recent was January 81, when a
crude bomb blasted out win
dows in the home of Sam Gy-
son, a radio commentator.

The Commissioners are being
badgered by phone, mail and

the day they go on sale.
One Of the city heads said
the pressure is so intense this
