The New Jersey physicians,
from Point Pleasant Hospital
and Fitkin Memorial Hospital
ct Neptune, signed 9 resolution
last week saying they would re-
fuse to treat patients under
Mr.. Kennedy's social security
financed medical plan Il 1t
passed Congress.
Mr.. Kennedy, speaking yes
terday at the United Auto
Workers convention in Atlantic
City. said without mentioning
the New Jersey physicians:
II am confident that the
majority. in fact, all doctors.
win treat those who may be
covered by this national pro-
gram"
Also, speaking before the
Auto Workers, Secretary of
Labor Goldberg called the reso-
luton "a disgrace, q disgrace
to the country"
The strongest comments came
from Secretary Of Welfare
Rihicoff. He said the doctors
were violating their professional
oath and that the resolution
was an attempt to blackmail
Congress and the American
people.
In q statement, Mr.. Ribicoff
said these doctors apparently
believe Il Is all right for the
Federal Government TO help
build the hospitals In which
they practice. but that an in
surance plan that would help
their patients pay their hos
pital bills would not be good"
DR.. J. Bruce Henriksen, who
initiated the New Jersey reso-
luton, promptly denounced Mr..
Ribicoff's statement as q threat
to withhold Federal aid from
hospitals whose doctors oppose
the medical care plan.
Also New Jerseys six Demo-
cratic Congressmen appealed
to the New Jersey Medical
Society to repudiate "this at

MiddIing Cards
Have Their Uses
BY ALFRED SHERWOOD

When you have a borderline
hand you tend to bid on the
strength of a stray nine or
eight. intermediate cards of
this sort won't always win
tricks. but they are just useful
enough to decide close cases.

Opening lead: Diamond king.
South was tempted to pass
at three hearts instead of going
on to game. He decided to bid
the game because of the 10
of diamonds and the 1913
of spades. One of the three
cards might be useful, he
thought, and he was quite
right.
Declarer won the first trick
with the ace of diamonds and
started on a campaign to win
a trick with the eight of spades
For this purpose he needed
only to find the queen or jack
of spades in the East hand.
South led a club to dummy'S
ace and returned the nine OF
spades from dummy. East
wisely played low, and so die
South.
Returns Trump
West won with the queen
of spades and returned a trump
to South'S 10. This was proper
defense. since otherwise South
would make game easily by
ruffing two spades in dummy
South now led the king of
spades from his hand, intend
ing to let it ride if West played
low. West actually covered
with the ace of spades, and de-
clarer ruffed in dummy.
South ruffed a club to re-
turn to his hand and drew
trumps. Then he led the 10 of
spades to force out East's jack.
This left South's eight of spades

clarer'S 10th trick.

Parking Palace

Senator Douglas is a cinch to win
his somewhat frantic campaign to "call
a halt" to the construction of a $41.9-
million underground parking palace"
on capitol Hill. Because no one is pro-
posing to build it now, anyway.
Preliminary plans for such a vast,
FOUR tiered Subterranean parking garage
were part OF several long-range Capitol
Hill improvements suggested by Archi-
tect j. George Stewart in 1857 to a COM
mission headed by the late Speaker Sam
Rayburn. The small but powerful COM
mission approved one part of the pack
age-and only one: The extension of
the Capitops East front. That project
now Is finished. The remainder of the
package has remained inert for the last
i've years. Capitol Hill activity on be-
nar OF the garage at the time of the
Senator's speech on that subject the
other day was about as risky as a
h1oernat1ng bear in mid-December
And that, as matter of fact, is too
bad. For parking facilities on Capitol
Hill are grossly inadequate. No doubt it
is true, as Senator Douglas says, that
ample spaces exist for members of Con-
greSS, and for its key staff members. But
thousands Of visitors could enlighten
the Senator on the uphill fight which
they have faced in their searches for a
place to park.
We hold no hard-and-faSt brief for
the $4l.9-million project proposed in the
1857 report. Certainly when this amount
Is divided by 1900 parking spaces the
per-Space figure seems astronomical.
But In all fairness 1t is ridiculous to
compare the cost Of the proposed Cap
itol Hill underground parking facility
with the cost of commercial facilities.
large part Of the cost Of the Capitol
Hill project, II ever undertaken, would
be for construction Of tunnels-extend-
ing substantial distances to the East
Plaza from beyond the House and Sem
ate Office Buildings, in provisions for
an underground Supply-delivery system
to the West side Of the Capitol. and in
extensive facilities for the thousands
OF buses and taxicabS which bring tour
lists and visitors to see Congress.
Not the least Of the advantages of
such an underground garage is the fact
that 1t would free the East Plaza itself
from parked cars, and permit its re-
clamation as a great and beautiful
pedestrian plaza. Mr.. Rayburn often
made clear what an offensive use of the
plaza he felt these cars to be, and per-
maps 1t was this, as much as anything,
which led him to feel that eventually
some underground facility should be
built. Now that lIr. Rayburn is gone,
the parking project is one which his
successor should review and, in some
form, support.

Serve the Public Interest

When an agency such as the Mary
land-National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission sits down to consider
a coming change it should be concerned
first OF all with serving the public inter-
est. This cannot satisfactorily be done If
the commission or any of its members is
influenced by personal considerations.
The commission has under consid-
erat'nn proposal which, for reasons
that seem valid to us, would curb sub
divisions using lots of 10000 square feet
The main purpose is to halt develop
mentS of this kind in areas not served
by sewers.

mission last week, however, after mem
Der from Prince Georges, John L. Pyles,

subdivisions for which he has already
filed applications for 10,00O-foot lots,

Rusk to Gromyko

secretary OF state RuSk has not
exaggerated in his reported warning to
Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko. The
warning is this: That the impending
Geneva disarmament talks may collapse
almost as soon as they begin If the
kremlin persists in its recent resump-
ton Of policy of threat and harass-
ment as regards Berlin and Germany
as a whole.
Within the past week or so, this
oellicose policy has been put to work in
NUMBER OF ugly ways. Soviet jet fight
ers, Tor example, have buzzed Western
aircraft IN the corridors leading to and
from Berlin. They have also been flying
in those corridors with unreasonable
frequency, and they have unloaded
metallic "chaff" in potentially danger
Gus, but thus far unsuccessful effort, to
disrupt Observation-Disclosures radar
equipment whose proper functioning is
essential to flight safety.
Beyond all this, and leaving aside
Moscow's continuing support Of guerrilla
aggression against the legitimate gov
ernments OF Laos and South Wet Nam.
the kremlin now has renewed its threat
to sign a separate and thoroughly
phony peace treaty" with puppet East
Germany. Moreover, speaking through
its newspaper IzveStia, it has declared
again that such a pact would end
western occupation rights in free Berlin.
And Pravda, the chief organ of the
Soviet Communist Party, has at the
same time heaped ridicule on a tenta-
tive American proposal for interna-
tional control guaranteeing unhampered
traffic to and from the city.
These are but few Of the recent
manifestations of hard policy suggest
Ing that Premier KhruShchev and his
colleagues are deliberately intent upon
making the international situation as
unpleasant and tense as possible. Pre-
Sumably their objective is to pressure
the free West into sort of panicky &C
ceptance Of terms that certainly do not
merit serious consideration. Mr.. Rusk's
remarks to Mr.. Gromyko, judging from
the news accounts, have therefore been
to the point in serving notice that the
United States does not propose to be
played for sucker in this erimly i'm
portant business.
Certainly neither our own country
nor Britain France regards the gather
ing with such disdainful distrust that
1t refuses to take part in it) should
waste time on the Geneva negotiations
If the Russians have nothing more posi-
tive to offer than actions that could
lead to an explosion of the first magni-
tude. Mr.. Rusk has done well to en-
phasize that point to Mr.. Gromyko.

Can't Blame Tshombe

=. An attempt by the central Congo
lese government to buy four bombers
In the United States appears to have
been nipped in the bud. And this is
something to be thankful for.
OF course, II one prefers to believe
myths, there Is no reason why the
Congo, as a sovereign and independent
state, shouldn't buy bomberS wherever
1t can get them. But the fact is that
the United Nations, ably assisted by
our State Department, is running the
show in the Congo. And If it wants
to prevent the Leopoldville regime from
acquiring weapons of aggression it can
do 50.
In this instance 1t seems that an
official Of the Congo defense ministry,
presumably with Premier Adoula's ap-
proval, hoodwinked U. s. and U. N.
officials in Leopoldville. At any rate,
they say they were not informed of
the true nature Of his mission until
the Congo agent had reached Brussels
and was negotiating with a private cit
izen there for means to finance the
purchase Of the warplanes. At that
point the State Department let it be
known that export licenses would not
be issued for the planes, and this doubt
less kills the deal.
1t seems to us that this furtive
effort by the Adoula regime to acquire
bombing planes casts some light on
the question Of who in the Congo mar
bors aggressive designs. In any event,
1t Is fortunate that it was not Katangas
Noise Tshombe or the Belgians or the
white mercenarieS" who were caught
with their hand in this cookie jar. Had
they been involved the roarS of right
eous indignation would have done great
violence to the peace and quiet of the
international community.

Shocking Is the Word

Deputy Police Chief Scott used the
right ord-"shocking"-to describe the
brazen robbery attack on DC. Transit
driver by band of young hoodlums,
while some 80 passengers not only re-
FUSED to come to his aid but declined
to give their names as witnesses. And
he aptly summed up the deplorable
incident when he shook his head and
said: THE police can't provide law
enforcement in this community unless
the citizens want it-and in this case
1t seems evident they didn't want i'll"
The driver, Page M. Dowell, of
HyattSville, told police he was beaten
and robbed by half dozen young thugs
after they had forced their way onto
the bus by kicking in rear door as the
bus stopped at 18th and U streets, NV.
None OF the passengers moved or made
HH vuvUFy as cne gang iIeo, leaving
Mr.. Dowell bleeding and diSheveled.
The drivers appeal to the passengers
to give him their names and addresses
az poSSIDie witnesses was met by silence.
However, one teenager finally answered
the requeSt-but the address he gave
proved to be phony.
We can understand the reluctance
OF some citizens to risk injury or worse
by attempting to Subdue such gang.
we CANNOT understand, however, how
any law-abiding citizen could refuse to
aid police with descriptions or other
information which might aid in round
ing up and prosecuting the perpetrators
OF such an outrage. For citizens who
are unwilling to cooperate with the
police in cases like this are contribut-
ing to breakdown of law enforcement
which could menace the whole com
munity-themselves included.

Wants Facts

"Vistas in Science" March
g. makes reference to 1.-THE
million-odd years of human
history" There is absolute
ly no authority for such q
statement.
Also the theory that the
present world population re-
presents 4 per cent Of the
total population Of history is
utterly fantastic. Where is
the proof that SO billion hui
man beings have preceded
US? 1t is generally accepted
that population increase has
been in the form, roughly,
OF a geometric progression,
which would mean that the
present world population is
roughly equal to the total
of all preceding generations.
1t is hig hly improbable
that anywhere near 2 to 3
hundred million people were
living at the time Of Christ.
We are told in this article
that there were only about
IL billion persons born dur
ing the 992, 000-odd years be-
fore 5000 BIC. Then we are
told that the remaining "a
billion persons have been
born within the past 5000
years. Incredible. l chal-
lenge the professors to prove
such a theory.
I am reluctant to reflect
upon the sch 9larship of DR..
Wellemeyer and Mr.. Lorimer,
but as far as this article is
concerned it would seem that
their historical, scientific,
anthropological, and mathe-
matte foundations need at
tention and revision.

Lesser star explosions, So
called "novae, are much
more frequent. There are 100
to 200 of them in this GALAXY

two of them can be observed
with the eye due to the abb.

Possible Explanation
"The' nature of the explo-r
Sions Of supernovae is not
established" says the report,
"One Of the possible hy-
potheSes is that in the course
Of evolution Of some par
ticularly massive young stars
there is rapid compression of
the central part, possibly
with the formation of q neu-
iron core. The gravitational
energy liberated during COM

sion and the election Of the

The recent suggestion for

as the site of the proposed

must be given serious con-
sideration. v
The womb and life-blood

always been and will con-
tinue to be those areas most
closely associated with the
greatest productive social

The Foggy Bottom area
being groomed for the Gull

far removed from the CEN

approval Of those who are
seriously concerned with the
intrinsic values Of its estab-
hshment.
On the other hand, Frank
lin Square, being centrally
located in downtown WASH

filled the potential it has as
a park, can be well-utilized
for the center, while retaining
its park-like character, there
by enhancing the attraction

AS Washington is in dan

Finding Of II new SUPER
novae during the past year
has just been announced by
the National Science Foun-
dalton.
These are cosrnic star ex-
plosions which, at maximum
brightness, radiate as much
energy a day as does the sun
in 100000 years. Such a star
at maximum luminosity fire.
quently is several times as
luminous as the entire galaxy
Of q few billion stars in which
it occurs.
There are two main types,
says the foundation report.
Those Of Type One are the
brightest with spectra con-
sisting Of ill-defined bands
which thus far have COM
pletely defied Identification.
Those Of Type Two are less
bright with spectra showing
lines of hydrogen, helium and
carbon. These gases are be-
ing expelled in great quanti-
ties at velocities Of about
5000 miles a second.
Explosion Theory
1T is conjectured," says
the report, that a Supernova
explodes as a result of insta-
bility caused by a Stupendous
nuclear chain reaction at q
late stage in the stars evolu-
ton when most of the nuclear
fuel has been exhausted.
Such an explosion may serve
to re-seed interstellar space
with new matter out of which
future stars may be formed.
"A better celebration of
intrinsic luminosity of super
novae Of different types would
serve as a powerful new tool
for determining the highly
uncertain distance scale Of
the universe because these
objects can be seen at dis
tances where galaxies them
selves are too faint to register
on a Photographic plate.
Theoretical astrophysicists
currently are developing
theories which attempt to
explain the enormous output
Of radiation from certain
galaXies on the basis of
multiple Supernovae explo-
sions. Accurate data on the
rate Of occurrence Of such ex-
ploSions can give valuable in
formation on the basis Of
