The greatest invasion Of
the country's most famous
socialites in the history Of
Washington charitable events
viii take place here next
Tuesday.
Those people who are
miffed because they couldn't
get 500 tickets to "Mr. Pres
ident," which tickets include
the sellout British Embassy
ball afterwards, can cease
fretting. For much, much less
they will still see the most
impressive parade of big time
social names ever gathered
under one roof here.
In addition to the pres
ence Of President and
Mrs. Kennedy at the Ma
tional Theater that night,
plus members Of their fami-
lies and his cabinet, other top
Capital officials and a flock
of the most prominent for
eign ambassadors, look who's
coming from out of town:
Mrs. Vincent Astor, Mr..
and Mrs. Laurence Rookie
feller, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Ford II. Mr.. and Mrs. Al
fred Gwynn Vanderbilt, the
Charles Wrightsman (she is
Jacqueline Kennedy's good
friend and member Of her
White House Fine Arts Com
mittee), the Bill Paleys, Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Luce, Mrs.
Edward Hutton, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Watson, jr., the
c. w. Engelhards, the Frede-
rick Cushings, Mrs. Gary
Cooper, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Barry Ryan, Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Iselin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Bancroft, jr., the
Barry Binghams, Mike and
Janet Cowles, and scores of
others.
In case you don't know
about such things, these
were all shaken out of the
pages Of the fairly skinny
Social Register and mostly
from the New York volume.

Abel, a school teacher, to present himself as

gates. This action was taken on recOmmenda-
ton Of the Executive committee in accordance
with criteria established by the Citizenship
committee.
This action was taken in spite of the fact
that MEGA is prohibited from endorsing a
candidate for partisan political office. The
on policies states:
''The policies of this corporation shall be
non-commercial, non-sectarian and non-parti-
san. No commercial enterprise nor any candi-
date for political or other office shall be en-
dorsed by the corporation"
This should have been clear to the mem
bers of MEGA and the main force behind the
campaign to involve teachers in politics How
ever the provision in the MCEA constitution
didn't stop them. And although campaigning
for certain school teachers running for polit-
being done as openly now as it was last fall.
There are now three school teachers run
ming for political office. And it is uncertain
what will happen to their teaching careers if
they happen to win at the polls. Naturally
they are concerned. And at least one candi-
date that we talked to expects to continue to
teach If he is elected to the House of Dele

Whot's The Story?

The omission of the Wisconsin ave. corridor in the
Park and Planning Commissions proposed blueprint
for the future development of West Chevy Chase
focuses renewed attention the agencys dilemma in
this controversial matter.
Ever since the planners first advanced the cor
rdor as solution to the traffic problem in western
suburban Montgomery County, they have met opposi-
ton not only from citizens but from other public agen-
cles In any move to promote the idea.
The State Roads Commission, for example has
consistently rebuffed the planners pleas for some
commitment on construction and has, instead, talked
about studies for north central corridor along the
eastern edge of Silver Spring So far the studies have
not begun and th-re is indication as to when they
will start
In the District of Columbia, highway officials
have been exceedingly reluctant to say anything that
might be construed indicating their willingness to
build connection with the Maryland corridor at
Western ave. Even now, after the possibility of using
road through Glover Archbold Park as an escape
hatch for the mounting traffic load Wisconsin ave.
has been killed. Washington officials still talk in circles
when asked to comment on the corridor.
In Rockville, the County Council has carefully
looked the other way and talked about the weather
when the question of corridor has come up The Ma
donal Capital Transportation Agency too has been
extremely oath to state whether it has any plans for
rapid transit route up Wisconsin ave- since that would
necessarily involve acquiring rghtsof-way and that
IN turn would result in wide traffic corridor and the
agency's administrator, c. Darwin Stolzenbach has
always been dead-set against superhighways.
Meanwhile, the traffic count on Wisconsin ave.
keeps going up, along with motorists tempers And
as the planning commissions staff warns the day of
reckoning is coming-sooner than we think
We sympathize witt, the commissions plight Yet,
In our opinion the agencys duty is clear If the COM
mission believes this is the only feasible route it must
place the corridor on the plan to preserve rights-of
way for the day when the State Roads Commission
VIII be forced willynly, to build the highway, and
the District of Columbia will have to extend it to down.
town Washington.
In the meantime other affected agencies should
summon up courage and speak out They will have
then opportunity at the April is public hearing on the
Chevy Chase plan. The time for double-alk and delay
has passed No matter how distasteful the corridor
appears it will be nothing compared with the drastic
steps that will have to be taken in the future unless
action is taken now.

A Few Words

commuters, who can't get break from any.

There could come day when suburban

question
'Mommy, whens Daddy coming home?

Hush, little boy. He's committing on
Wisconsin ave. And you can't get here from
there"
That mother may have little Imagination,
stealing lines from the old farmer down
south, but she's at least speaking the truth.
We've got planners coming out our ears
here in the metropolitan area and they seem
determined to keep Montgomry County for

There have been many proposals for mov-
ing traffic quickly through the Bethesda

refusals to adopt those proposals.

This seems perfectly clear that the three
school teachers now engaged in campaigning
for political office must Immediately take a
leave of absence. Otherwise, they are violat-
ing the School Boards Policy 2.17O.O74.
Evidently, the School Board is quite aware

1t is too bad the teachers who have filed
for political office did not get clear ruling
before they subjected themselves to the situa.
ton
1t is ironical that so-called non-partisan
school board was the first to inject this ques-
ion of politics among the teaching profession.
And we rather suspect Rose Kramer, the
guiding force of the socalled non political
elective School Board, had good clear blue
print of her future political plans when in
1860 she and her colleagues sponsored the
political leave policy for school teachers. AS
you know, she is now candidate for the
County Council Her eye so it is said, is
already on the next step if she is successful
in getting elected to the County Council.

Shame

The delegates who voted against the public ac-
commodatons bill in the State Legislature last Friday
have shamed Maryland before the world
Not only have they helped maintain form Of
racial prejudice that cannot be justified in any civil
lied community; they have made it much more diff
cult for the leaders of nation to combat the pro-
paganda of those who rdcule cry of freedom and
democracy for all men.
Thus, their action was offense not only against
their fellow citizens but against all humanity Indeed
their decision to deny food and rest to their fellow men
merely because of the color of their skin passes under
standing
Nor can understand the support given such in
tolerance by two delegates from Montgomery County.
These two votes by Alger Y. Barbee and Charles W.
Woodward jr., if cast on the other sde would have
been enough to push the legislation through to victory
1t is ironic that Montgomery County, which enacted
the first equal accommodations law in the State should
have helped kill similar measure for other counties
We hope the next Governor of Maryland whoever
he may be, will try again in the 1868 session of the
General Assembly, for this effort to have the Free
State live up to its cannot be permitted to die
We hope too, that the shame of what they did
will somehow be realized by the 43 delegates who al
lowed local prejudces to overrle reason and justice
And if any of them return to Annapolis next January
they will vote next time in favor of equal treatment of
all citizens black or white
