Few Words
Of Time and the Observatory

Down at the Naval Observa-
tory on Massachusetts, ave-,
when somebody asks what time
it is, he knows the answer he
gets will be accurate to a mi.
mute fraction of a second.
But it may be complicated
answer. That's because they
operate on several different
times down that way.
We got in on the confusion
one night last week when we
joined one of the Observatory's
guided tours. AS you can well
imagine, the place that keeps
the right time for everybody
has clocks all over the place.
They can tell you what time
1t is in universal terms, in side
real terms and-in case you're
interested even in Eastern
Standard terms. ct will get
even more interesting next
week, after we go on daylight
saving time-but don't get US
started on that, our favorite
peeve.)
The clock you're looking at"
the guide said, tells universal
time, that is, the time it is right
now at zero meridian" Which

A sweeping urban renewal program designed to re-
store the tired old face of Rockville well under way,
at long last
Under the program seven-block area in the heart
of the county seat is being studied carefully by experts
who will soon start drafting preliminary plan which,
under the present timetable will be submitted to the City
Planning Commission in September
Many of the buildings in the area are substandard
and will be demolished to make way for structures
Some Of the existing buildings may be preserved City
officials stress that they plan to avoid the appearance of
a wasteland such that which still confronts District
residents from the big redeveopment project there Old
structures will not be RACED until ready to
60 up.
The city's director of planning and urban renewal
and an urban renewal coordinator hard at work de-
velopng the city urban renewal plan And they be-
ing aided by consuants. But this effort may not be
enough Property in the urban renewal

has cast the Business has ground to halt in
some stores and taxes continue undated
Ways might well be explored by the city heads and
community leaders to devise way of speeding the
program Under present plans the beginning of land ac

those landowners and businessmen who face the dismal
prospect of seeing cash going out than is coming in
An integral part of the program creation last
year OF the Urban Renewal Advisory Council composed of
about 80 individuals representing various segments of the
community But there is doubt in the minds of that
the community representation this advisory group is
sufficiently broad Numerous community groups ranging
from service clubs to garden clubs have representation
on the Council and it could easily be broadened In fact
all groups-as well all citizens-have vital stake in
the program and are entitled to representation.
City fathers should be acutey aware too that their
greatest chance OF in the ambitious program lies
in winning enthusiastic community acceptance. The best
way to achieve this obviously to encourage the greatest
possible amount of community participation in preparation
of the plan.
1t would never do to have experts draft program
and then hand to the communty-vrtually an accom-
pshed fact True public hearings the plan sched
of tho
plan before it is completed almost a necessity
is still little early to say that the city is being
bit aoof in preparing its pan It may not be too early
TO wonder whether maximum effort is being put into in
forming the community the subject of urban renewal
which is now of such paramount Importance And it's
fair to ask if greater attention might not be devoted
active seeking out of lay participation in order to ) de-
sign better plan and (2) win greater community ac
. ceptance.
The new City Council that takes office Monday we
are confident will take fresh look at this amportant
program and see ways might be found to improve it and
move it forward faster and more effectively.

Next Council. Please Note!

The charge conflict of interest is again being heard
throughout Montgomery County and no doubt will in
crease in intensity election day approaches.
This is old story in the county and suppose,
in most areas, matter of fact majority of public
officials place the public interest above their personal in
terest but there who don't
Only nfrequently have the charges been eveled at
elective officials The county has been blessed with
high caber County Council members and state legis
laors the years Generally, those involved in
fict of interest disputes have been appointve office
holders most often members of the Observation-Disclosures
Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission These two agencies
play key role in moulding the form of rapid growth
and shaping land and development The opportunity
is great perhaps greater for sefservce rather than
public service in these two appontive agencies than in
some Of our major elective bodies
Accordingly, would think the appointing power
would be scrupulousy careful in naming persons to these
appontve posts whose backgrounds and attitudes and
personal financial inducements would not make them SUBJ
ject to conflict of interest charges But this has not al
ways been the Feeling high when actions of
public bodies create doubt whether the decisions
based on public special interest.
As result of some recent County Council appoint
ments to governmental bodies conflict of interest cries
are again being raised
We hope the next County Council will be somewhat
more circumspect

Reply TO Phillips

AS one who has consider
able interest in the future of
Montgomery County, I read
with a great deal of interest
the letter written to you by
Darius v. Phillips and pub.
lished in your edition of Thurs.
day, April 10.
In this letter, Mr.. Phillips
asked some pertinent ques-
tons with reference to the
manner in which the Planning
Commission budget is going to
be spent this coming year.
These questions need to be
asked and require an answer.
The answer is not an easy one,
as the problem of planning
and zoning is one which is puz-
zling the minds of the best
planners and technicians in all
areas of the United States.
New methods of handling pop
ulation and traffic congestion
are being considered by some
of the more advanced PLAN
ners, by the Urban Land Insti-
tute, and by the universities.
Many of these methods are
still in the experimental stage,
but merit study. The more
promising of these are density
coming, cluster planning, satel-
lite towns, and planned COM
munities within existing zon-

Sidereal time is something

which might mean that it's a lot
later than you think.
Those are just a couple of the
interesting points you can pick
up at the Observatory. where
they also have an atomic clock
to keep a check on things. Their
other clocks are run by quartz
crystals. For fuller explanation
Of all that, you'll have to take
the tour yourself.
We just don't seem to have
time to worry about those little
details.

From This Angle
Atheism in Our Schools?

The Sentinel reports that John H. Doug
las, candidate for the Democratic nomination
to Congress, has decryed creeping atheism
in our public school system" and has asked
the parents of Sabotage children to seek
congressional reaffirmation of the motto, I'm
God We Trust" He is quoted as saying that
this motto made this nation strong and it
should not be denied now because of a sin
lister element hiding behind transparent wells
of constitutional zeal" Mr.. Douglas is
quoted, Somehow. public belief in God has
been labelled unconstitutional and as a result,
we are getting more and more court action
to take manifestation of this belief out of
our schools"
Can Mr.. Douglas identify the members
of this sinister element" Could they be
the trainers of our Constitution who left out
all mention of God from the Constitution?
Are our forefathers suspect because they
wrote Article VI that says in speaking of pub
lie functionaries, shall be bound by oath or
affirmation to support this Constitution; but
no religious test shall ever be required as a
qualification to any office or public trust
under the United States?"
Is the Supreme Court part of this "sin-
lister element" because they stated in the
TOrcasO case, I'VE repeat and again reaf-
firm that neither State nor the Federal
Government can cOnstitutionally force a
person to profess belief or disbelief in
any religion Neither can cOnstitutionally
pass laws or impose requirements which
aid all religions as against nOn-believers,
and neither can aid those religions based
on a belief i'm the existence of God as
against those religions founded on differ
ent beliefs"
Is the influence of this sinister element
shown by the majority of state constitutions,
which forbid the use of tax funds for the
teaching of religion? Perhaps this sinister
influence was responsible for the Supreme

large or small, can be levied to support any
religious activities or institutions"
Perhaps this sinister influence is re-
sponSible for Justice Frankfurter's statement
in the McCollum case in 1913: 1--WE are all
agreed that the First and Fourteenth amend
ments have a secular reach far more pene-
trating in the conduct of government than
merely to forbid AN established church I.
We renew our conviction that we have

the faith that complete separation between
the state and religion is best for the state
and best for religion"

individuals like the writer who believes
that however important our motto may be,
1t IS not nearly as important as the prin-
clple OF state-church separation which has
provided climate where all religions may
flourish and none may impose their pc.

Perhaps Mr. Douglas would suggest a
church-state relationship existing in some
European nation as preferable % ours If
So what is that nation? Spain? France?

Mr. Douglas support an amendment to our

public office or from the armed forces? What
sort OF public belief in God" would Mr.
Douglas make constitutional? Does he be-

Does he believe that the constitutional pro-
vision forbidding a religious Test for public
offices should be changed? Speak up, Mr..
Douglas. Identify that sinister element"

special School Board committee has now come for

~ After-schoo activities are increasing at such a
fast clip that transportation problem is being created as
far as the pupil participants concerned and it would
be good idea to add more school buses and,

limited student parking was not necessarily the best way
to spend the taxpayers hardearned dollar And by the
same token it does parents Of the children involved
in after school activity could at least share some of the
transportation responsibility in connection with extracur

of the law can be acquired, but warm hui.
manity is born in a person or is acquired who
are not lawyers is probably better than the
Judgment of lawyers in determining whether
a judicial candidate has this quality of hui
mainly is born in person or is acquired from
much suffering. And feel that the judgment
of the people who are not lawyers is probably
better than the judgment of lawyers in deter
mining whether judicial candidate has this
quality of humanity Somehow or other, we
lawyers carry lot of scar tissue on our
psychic hearts which we got from years of
courtroom battles, and these scars handicap
us a bit when it comes to selecting judges.
This may indicate that l am less than
satisfied with the way our judges are Sc
Iected. Well, I am not entirely satisfied but
I am hardly prepared to offer better way:
although I confess I am impressed with the
manner by which Moses came by his robes
Yet there seems to exist in our country
an idea that any lawyer can be judge.
This runs parallel with the myth that any
American can become president. Now it
would be horrible thing if just any ole
American could be president and 1t would
be equally disturbing to me If any ole
lawyer could be Judge.
Maybe the trouble we have lies in the
fact that we have no training for our judges
On the Continent, law school student makes
his choice at the end of his first year of
school of studying to become judge or a
lawyer. A student who studies to become
judge receives an appointment as a judge
upon the successful completion of his law
work. Those who chose to become lawyers
will continue to practice law upon gradua-
ton. And upon the Continent, the end
toward which lawyer works is to become
a more skilled lawyer: and not merely jul
dicial timber
Perhaps our law schools could borrow
something good from this old country idea
But then we would forfeit all the fun we
have this time of year. After all, the candi-
date am interested in just oozes judicial

Judgeship Race Question

There are few questions that some Of
the practicing lawyers of Mungummery
County would like answered in the Judge
ship race. The first question appears to be
unanswerable. 1t is who is going to win. AS
most of us have busted our crystal balls
many elections ago we have ceased seeking
the answer to that question.
Another question is what are the issues
involved. AS there really are no issues worthy
of the name involved, there are those who
seek to inject social issues in the race Such
broad questions as, ITO what school of juris-
prudence do you belong?", or, what is the
meaning of due process of law to your" are
rather typical questions shot at the candi-
dates.
These judicial races are nearly as tough
on the lawyers as the candidates. I believe
that most busy lawyers would prefer to sit
a judicial election out and let the gavel
fall where it may. But sooner or later,
lawyers get drawn into the election whirl-
pool and the first thing one knows we are
spOuting some vague business about which
candidate has Judicial temperament" or
'he will Jump i'm TIE jury box or che is a
prosecutor at heart and then we discover
we have endorsed" somebody and made a
lifelong enemy of all the candidates we did
not endorse. 1t gets so bad that for about
a month after election. One-half of the
lawyers think they had better ask for a
change of venue even on a traffic charge.
1t stands to reason that lawyers should
know who is qualified for judgeship, but
there is a lot more to the selection of a
judge than mere reason Logic is not the
life of the law and the best logician does
not make the best judge. I must confess
that | think my judgment on the selection
of judges presidents and penant winners is
fallible.
The law is a many-splendored thing and
one of the most splendid facts about it is its
humanity. Judges are supposed to be human
and I prefer to think that their knowledge
of the law is merely superstructure upon
a knowledge Of humanity And a knowledge
