No Poll Believer

I note that reference is
made to "Mr. Kennedy's high
ratings in the public opinion
polls"
How do you reconcile the
results Of over a hundred by
elections around the country
with these polls? How do
you make the polls jibe with
the fact the Kennedy Admin
istration is losing almost
every election?
Included in the losses have
been ones in the States of
Texas and Michigan, Louis
vile for the first time in
twenty-eight years, Ohio and
Connecticut cities and the
disaster in Chicago. In New
York. Democratic majorities
have been cut on a typical
House seat from about $4,000
to something over 100. The
Administration has won, or
even chalked gains, only in
New Jersey where $4,000 to
10000 conservative Republi-
cans sat on their hands in
stead Of voting for James
Mitchell.
Granted these are off-year
elections, there is such a con-
Sistent trend as to be unusual
and to raise the point of
whether there is a revolt on.
Certainly the leaderless Re-
publicans have had little to
do with it.
Remember how the polls
elected Dewey in 1948 and
then in the 1852 Eisenhower
landslide said the election
would be close?

Parking Proposal

The plan developed for the
AdamS-Morgan area by the
National Capital Planning
Commission deserves broad
and enthusiastic support.
Especially to be commended
is the AdamS-Morgan Plan
ming Committee which has
devoted more than two years
Of sustained hard work to
this project.
The Adams Morgan Plan
ming Committee is broadly
representative Of the commu-
nifty 1t has planned for.
All the more surprising,
then, is the recommendation
Of the Land Use Subcommit-
tee that the homes on Lanier
place be destroyed for a two
level concrete parking ia
cility.
The Lanier Place Protective
Association urges, instead,
that the one-story establish
mentS on Columbia Road
provide roof-top parking as
is done at Sears Roebuck and
Hechinger'S on Wisconsin
Avenue at River Road.
This would be an equitable
solution to all concerned, and
it conforms with the re-
habilitation objectives Of the
A d a m S. Morgan Planning
Committee and the National
Capital Planning Committee,
as well as the Redevelopment
Land Agency.
With good will on all sides,
and some imaginative en-
gineering roof-top parking
can be provided easily by
such powerful chain stores
as Safeway and Giant whose
attractive stores on Colum-
bia Road draw shoppers from
the entire District opd fba

President Kennedy's right
ness in ordering resumption
of nuclear tests in the atmos-
phere should be apparent to
all Americans and to all the
free world, and to the "neu-
tralists," too. His order should
be a notice to all the Com
munist world that the United
States does not intend to
abandon our main deterrent
to Red domination.
Sixteen years ago Britain's
great war Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, in a men,
orable and prophetic address
in Fulton, Mo-, clearly stated
that the American atomic
bomb stood between the free
nations Of the Western world
and Communist aggression.
It is well to remember his
words. He said that it would
be wrong and impudent to
entrust the secret knowledge
or experience of the atomic
bomb to the newly created
United Nations, and he add
ed; 1T would be criminal
madness to cast it adrift in
this still agitated and ununited
world. No one in any country
has slept less well in their
beds because this knowledge
and the method and the raw
materials to apply it are at
present largely retained in
American hands"
Through our own ineptness
and the ability of Russian
espionage and subversion this
happy circumstance vanished
in far fewer years than Mr..
Churchill or anyone at that
time thought possible. The
Russians have the bomb. The
Russians seek to surpass us
in the strength Of nuclear
weapons and the ability to
deliver the warheads. And yet
today, their representative at
the Geneva conference on
disarmament, Valerian A. 70
rim, has called our new tests
IAN aggressive act against
peace" and has declared that
the United States Is not only
restarting the nuclear arms
race but "is pushing the
world still closer to the abyss
of atomic war"
What They Ignore
Mr.. Zorin and the Com
munist world ignore - and
hope many peoples outside
the Iron Curtain" (Which
Mr.. Churchill first called it
in his Fulton address, will
ignore, too - the fact that
Red Russia abruptly violated
a few months ago a mora
torium on atmospheric atomic
weapons tests, an agreement
with the United States which
had lasted four years. Not
only did it violate this agree
ment. but 1t exploded in the
a t osphere so or more
bombs, some Of them ap-
preaching so megatons. And
now some Of our neutralist
friends are following the
Russian line Of condemnation
Of the United States and de-
manding that President Ken
nedy call a halt to our tests.
There are pacifists and fellow
travellers in our own country,
the first short-sighted and
the latter deliberate subver-
Sionists, who are uttering loud
laments.
What was the alternative
to President Kennedy's or
der? Should we have resisted
all desire that we keep our

year." then things are going
along just dandy.
Furthermore. as our 'front.'
page story indicates, there is
racial prejudice on the police
force. When our police force
has IA per cent Negro, but
only 2 per cent Of them lieu
tenants. none as captains,
and none in the "a top
positions in the city, we and
every other Negro in America
says that's some of the most
vicious racial discrimination
imaginable.
We also say that as long a;
white policemen continue to
abuse Negro citizens with the
reckless abandon which has
characterized their actions
in the past. as long as Police
Chief Murray refuses to dis
cipline these men (and the
recent ridiculous arrest of
Nigerian student Vincent
Okobi is case in point), and
as long as the 10th Precinct
can remain the harbor of
harrassmentS and beatings of
Negro citizens, then there is
going to be a hostile, antagon-
istic Negro community. One
day Washington's police force
will find itself in the same
position as New York City's
police force last year-such
formidable hostility from the
Negro community, it will be
necessary to undergo q pub
lie relations campaign" Ger
tainly the signs are there al
ready.
We don't pretend for one
moment that this newspaper
speaks for the Negro COM
munity, or even a majority
of Negro citizens, for that
matter. But we do say that
there are very, very few Ne
groes in this city who will
disagree with the front-page
editorial in the Washington
AFRO, Rev. jackson is
Right. So Right"
When The Star and Dis
trict Commissioner president,
Walter N. Tobriner. recognize
that Police Chief Murray
may not be doing everything
in his power to fight racial
discrimination on the police
force or wipe out crime in
Washington, then perhaps we
all can join together to make
the Nations Capital the most
wonderful city in America.
But we are a long way off
from this happy goal and we
submit it is because the Po-
lice Chief has a contempt for
the Negro race which prevents
him from cutting through
the moraSs of bigotry on his
force.

Sour Criticism?

Rodio Active Uptoke
Varies In Crops

Research by the University o f
Minnesota shows that more particle
of nuclear fallout will accumulate
in some varieties of wheat, barley,
and soybeans than in others, ac-
cording to Ed Ralph, Assoc. Coun-
ty Agent.
In the Minnesota tests, 48 var
ieties of barley, and so each of
wheat and soybeans were grown
under controlled conditions in a
greenhouse. In one of the expert
ments, strontium SO and strontium
SO were both added to the soil in
precise amounts. In another exper-
iment, only strontium SO was add
ed.
After the grain matured, some of
it was ground up and analyzed
with Geiger counter to find out
how much strontium had accumu-
lated in it. They found that some
varieties of wheat had four times
as much strontium in the grain as
other varities, while some varie-
ties of barley and soybeans
three times as much as others.
One implication of this research,
the Minnesota researchers say, s
that it might be feasible to develop
! varieties that accumulate a MIND
mum amount of radioactive parti-
cles.
1t should also add to the under
standing of the general problem of
mineral absorption by plants from
the soil, Ralph said.

Live Shell Is DESTROYED
BY Experts

Demolition experts rec e n y
calmly removed high-explosive
80 mm artillery shell from outside
the Bethany Beach Post Office.
The she'll had been found on the
beach last Wednesday by a rural
route mailman.
Members of the Dover Air Force
Base Emergency Ordnance Demo
lition crew, led by T. Sgt. Thorn
ley Wells, said the shell had not
been fired, and that there was no
evidence that an attempt had been
made to detonate it through
normal firing procedure.
Wells explained that because OF
the corroded C on dition of the
shells exterior it was impossible
to determine if the fusing mecha-
nism had been activated or was in
the "safe" position.
The shell, with warhead and pri-
mary charges intact, was armed
with mechanical time fuse
which is designed to be exploded
by a clock-like device within two
to twenty-five seconds after firing
the demolition experts explained.
The shell was taken to the Dover
Air Force Base demolition range
where it was destroyed by a coun.
tercharge of explosives.

Cold War Easing
