to delineate each of the other five as
fairly as possible on a basis of compact
ness, homogeneity Of interests and equal
ity of population. One Of its strongest
features is that in no case would the
boundary of congressional district cross
a county line. Indeed, the only truly
formidable hurdle is that Baltimore City
would be reduced in representation to
two congressman instead of its present
three.
There are those observers who say
that this hurdle is not merely formid-
able, but insurmountable. Baltimore
forces are so influential in the State
political structure, they say, that it is
impractical to pursue such an approach.
Yet the fact is that no one, among all
the attempts made, has been able to
draft an alternative, without carving up
individual counties, to otherwise meet
the tests Of an adequate redistricting.
On the crucial basis Of population, as DR..
PerusSe's computations show, Baltimor-
cans would be adequately represented by
two congressmen-a conclusion which
also is the cornerstone Of several other
proposals now under study. Unless a
majority of the Legislature Is willing to
accept this premise, 1t is hard to see how
1t will meet the mandate of the voters
last November to develop a diStricting
system that is truly equitable.
Evening star., 1963-02-05
The Riqht to Vote

President Kennedy has said that
literacy tests to determine whether a
person is qualified to vote are iniquitous.
But this is not necessarily so.
What may be and, indeed, what
doubtless has been iniquitous is the
discriminatory manner in which literacy
tests have been given in some States.
When double standard is maintained,
one for whites and one for colored
people, the result clearly is an un-
constitutional form of discrimination.
This evil can be removed, however,
without resort to Federal legislative
devices which are of doubtful conStitu-
tionality in their own right, and which
prescribe an arbitrary but often mean
ingless test of literacy. One of these
Is the administrators proposal last
year that sixth grade education be
fixed as conclusive proof of literacy for
voting purposes. If voting is thought
OF as responsibility as we'll as a privi-
lege, very few sixth graders of our ac-
quaintance have the desirable qualifi-
cations And certainly it is absurd
to contend that all of them have. Some
can barely read and write.
The only argument which can be
made for this administration project
is one Of expediency. 1t would make 1t
easier to enforce the right to vote Of
qualified persons who might otherwise
be Disseminated against. But the ex-
pedient way is seldom the best. And
we think that there is more to be said
for the remedy suggested by Senator
Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, and
Senator Cooper, Republican Of Kentucky.
They have introduced a bill which
would prohibit literacy tests in any
election for a Federal office unless (a)
the same practices are followed In ad-
miniStering and grading the tests of
all individuals, (b) the test is given in
writing, or the questions and answers
are transcribed verbatim, and, (c) upon
request, a certified true copy of the
questions and answers given is fur
nished to the individual within 80 days.
Their bill also provides that immaterial
errors shall not be used to deny the
right to vote.
1t seems to us that there Is much
to recommend this bill. 1t does not
attempt to prevent the States from
using literacy testS-provided only that
they are fairly and impartially admin
istered. And it has reasonable chance
OF being enacted by this Congress.
Evening star., 1963-02-05
Money-Moking G-Men

Senator Dirksen was not overstating
the case when he said, "the record of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation for
1852, under the diligent and expert
leadership Of ]. Edgar Hoover, is truly
spectacular"
Everything in the record comfort
ably supports that description, including
the conviction of 12,70O persons in FBI
cases, the capture Of ll,400 fugitives
and the recovery Of 10000 autos. Yet
even these achievements pale alongside
another item Senator Dirksen might
justifiably have described as super
colossal. This is simply that, in these
days Of sky's-the-lim Government
spending, the FBI more than paid It's
own way.
or course, the FBI has revenue
making opportunities not found in every
Government agency. But only by It's
efficiency was II able to produce more
than 5000 million from fines, savings
and recoveries. This amounted to some
$40 million more than It's annual budget.
so among all the other reasons for being
apprecistive OF Mr.. Hoover's operatives,
one must also not forget their spectacular
solvency.

No Place for Politics

At the end Of World War II, the diff
ficult Job Of cleaning up the scandal
ridden Veterans Administration medical
service was handed to two distinguished
and tough-minded physicians-fir DR..
Paul r. Hawley, then DR.. Paul B. Mag
nuson. They both were phenomenally
successful In rebuilding the program to
a status Of excellence, largely through
their insistence on separating VA medi-
cine from politics. In 1851, DR.. Magnu-
son bitterly asSailed administrative pol
icies which he felt were undermining his
control. While he was ousted In the top
level clash which followed, his position
was largely sustained by a Senate In
vestigating committee.
Now DR.. Magnuson, who, as private
citizen, has never relented In his surveil-
lance OF the program, charges that a
recent order transferring seven regional
medical directors to the VA central office
here poses another threat to the freedom
OF VA medicine. The present VA admin
istrator John s. Gleason, jr., says the
move is devoid OF political considerations,
and is designed solely to promote effici-
ency. Perhaps so. 1t is situation how
ever, which bears watching, and II is we'll
that DR.. Magnuson has made his views
known both TO Senator'S and TO those
prominent medical leadersk around the
country who serve as advisers to the VA.
