Unsafe Drivers

The mounting mortality
rate due to automobile acci-
dents has become q national
disgrace and drastic steps
should be undertaken to
reduce 1t.
The responsibility Of acct
dents lies less and less on
machinery and tires and
more and more on the driv-
ers, many Of whom have
mental or physical defects
which should bar them from
the steering wheel. Before o
driver can obtain q license,
he should prove that he Is In
normal physical and mental
health and since many
diseases may develop later he
should be required to pro-
duce q notarized certificate
from a licensed physician
that he Is fit to drive for the
following IL months. Such O
certificate should be present.
ed to the authorities each
year as a requirement before
new tags can be issued.
Proper forms could be sup
piled by the Department Of
Vehicles covering the infor-
nation necessary. The re-
quireme nt Is reasonable
when we consider that the
driver intends to guide
hundreds Of pounds Of poten-
TALLY lethal steel along the
crowded highways Of the
Nation. This makes alertness,
quick reflexes and good
Judgment necessary at all
times. Seat belts should be
adjusted on each occupant Of
a moving car and failure to
conform to this regulation
should be penaized.
Alcohol and gasoline do
not mix and the refusal Of q
driver to submit to q test for
alcoholism after an accident
should be considered proof Of
guilt. The guilty alcoholic
should have his license
suspended for five years-not
as punishment but for the
protection Of himself and
others.
The Department Of Vehicles
should supply doctors at no
cost to the applicant for
yearly examinations Of those
who do not desire their own
physicians to examine them.

Riqht to Work

Union bosses want to en-
trench their present abnor-
NAL powers with the police
power Of the Federal Gov
eminent in full support;
particularly the power to tax
and to punish those who
don't pony up the cash
when union professionals de-
mand 1t.
Someone has said that
there Is only one union in
Red Russia, and Mr.. Khru,
shchev runs it. This Is the
way Of life under dictator
ship.
Fortunately, the American
people generally-and, I am
sure, a majority of the II
million claimed membership
in American unions - are
wary Of compulsion in any
form. Walter Reuther, presi-
dent Of the giant United Au-
tomobile Workers, himself
has said In opposing COM
pulsory arbitration, it Is like
a little pregnancy, meaning
Of course that you can't
have Just a little, but must
have it to the very end.
Yet Mr.. Reuther and other
union professionals demand
that the American people
give union bosses the power
to force union membership
upon every employed United
States citizen. The union
bosses demand that every
one Of the Nations en-
ployed people join q union,
pay compulsory dues and
fees, and abide by union
rules (made by q handful Of
professionally as a require
ment for holding a job! And
in far too many instances
compulsory union dues are
used for political or other
ends not approved by the
rank-and-file membership.
Right-to-work laws forbid
such compulsion, and bar
giving the union bosses vast
powers they should not have
powers that should not be
granted to nongovernmental
organizations CT individuals.
I am sure that three
fourths Of the American
people are for right-to-work

Transit Palmer

! think the House olQ quite
right In rejecting the pro-
posed subway plan for the
District. What we need Is not
something to get around
downtown but some provision
for getting people in and
out Of the city expeditiously
thereby encouraging them to
leave cars at home or at out
lying terminals.
Our streets are not narrow
and congested as in New
York and one can get about
almost anywhere downtown
by bus or taxi as quickly. and
more easily. than he could
by subway.
There should be three lines
from a single central point
to the suburbs: one TO Chevy
Chase circle, one to Silver
Spring and one to some point
in Virginia that would serve
Arlington and perhaps Alex
andria.
The central station might
well be at or near 18th and
18th streets and Pennsylvania
avenue. The Chevy Chase
line and that to Silver Spring
also would have stations at
K street, NV. and one more
each at say q street and then
no more stops until Porter
street on the G. c. line and
some corresponding point on
the s. s. line. Then perhaps
two more stops. say Abe
marie street and Nebraska
avenue for the C. c. line and
corresponding points for the
S. s. line, and then no more
stops until they reached their
termini. The Virginia line
would have no stops in the
District and could use the
old 14th Street Bridge. I be-
heve such a system would
best serve the desired purpose
at minimum cost and I would
like to see the House Of Rep
reSentatives have an oppor-
tunity to vote on 1t.

II can honestly say that l
was never affected by the
question Of the success of an
undertaking. II l felt 1t was
the right thing to do, l was
for it regardless Of the posi-
BILE outcome"
One hopes that there are
few people who have been so
chastened by experience as to
be unable to admire and thrill
to these two simple sentences
by Coda Meir, Foreign Min
istre Of Israel. Certainly there
are not many who can live
and act by them as she has.
The history Of the state Of
Israel is very nearly miracu-
lous. Mrs. Meir's attitude,
shared in part by most of her
colleagues, is one of the
forces behind the miracles.
Gambling Proposition
Another is a complementary
realism. Creating and pre-
serving the state demanded
one fantastic gamble after an
other. The choice was often
between a course leading to
certain defeat and another
leading merely to nearly GER
tain defeat. The founders took
the latter, saying with Mrs.
Meir, Eve have no alterna-
tive" And as the world
knows, all those nearly GER
tain defeats became at least
partial victories.
This remarkable woman is
the subject Of an affectionate,
enthusiastic and authorized
biography by a personal
friend, Marie Syrkin, editor Of
Jewish Frontier and professor
of humanities at Brandeis
University.
Mrs. Meir was born In Kiev
in 1898 and brought to the
United States by her father in
1906. She grew up mostly in
Milwaukee and soon became
active in Labor Zionist af-
fairs.
But vicarious Zionism-as
she thought of twas not for

THE PASSING SCENE
The Problem Facing Goldwoter
BY WILLIAM S. WIFI

Powerful and In many cas-
Is frankly emotional pressure
Is being put on Senator Bar
~ Goldwater by his hackers
to announce without delay
his candidacy for the Repub-
hcan presidential nomina-
ton.
Whatever his own present
tntentions-and he has never
said more than that he
would decide early next
year" whether or not to go"
the revolutionary change
in the whole political situa-
ton since the death of John
r. Kennedy has hit Goldwa-
ter supporters with q special,
chilling impact.
They are afraid that in the
new situation, where Mr..
johnson rather than Mr..
Kennedy will be the Demo-
cratic nominee, Senator
Goldwater might more readi-
" exercise the option still
open to him not to try for
the nomination. Indeed, In
their own minds they had
never, even before the pro-
found alteration in political
outlook that followed Mr..
Johnson's succession to the
presidency, been willing even
to consider that Senator
Goldwater would not readily
say yves" when the time
came.
Their investment Of hope
and emotional capital in
him, Is the man they see as
the one last best hope for
deeply conservative RepubH-
canism, has always been ex-
traordinary. It has had no
remote parallel, In human
feeling, since the near-ven-
Grafton given q decade ago
by similarly orthodox Repub-
licans to Senator Robert A.
Taft as their irreplaceable
champion.
"GOIdwater or Nobody"
Now, that same investment
Of hope and emotional capt.
tai has only been increased
by the assumption, almost
universal outside the unwav-
ering ranks Of the Goldwater
partisans themselves, that
the Senator's presidential
prospects have been gravely
and perhaps irreparably
damaged by the circum-
stance that Mr.. johnson and
not Mr.. Kennedy win be the
Democratic candidate In
1854.
1t was said in Napoleon's
time that the Old Guard died
but never surrendered. The
same Is unquestionably true
now Of the Republican Old
Guard. It means to stand to
the end with Goldwater-but
only with Goldwater, If the

private expressions Of Gold
water enthusiasts can be TAX
en- ct full value, as apparent
ly they can. Some are saying
that for them cit VIII be
Goldwater or It viii be no
body"-meaning that II the
Republican nomination goes
elsewhere they win sit out
both the campaign and Elec-
ton Day.
This might seem an illogi-
cal position in light Of SEEM
ingly massive evidence that q
Goldwater confronting John
son would be weak In pre-
cisely those areas where
prospectively he had been
strongest-the South and
West. The most recent Gal
lup Poll, for example, was.
effectively, a shocker from
the point of view Of the
Goldwaterites. It indicated o
staggering 7S per cent to 10
per cent margin in the South
for johnson over Goldwater,
whereas when Mr.. Kennedy
was still alive the thing was
reversed. Then the poll gave
Goldwater 81 per cent to 80
per cent for Kennedy.
Granting this columnist,s
strong bunch that the fig
ures for johnson may be un-
realistically high and that
the earlier figures for Kenne-
dy may have been unrealiSti-
cally low, the fact remains
that the South no longer
looks to be "Goldwater couns
try" by any possible stand
ard.
Backers Unshaken
Still, none Of this has In
the smallest way shaken the
determination of the Gold
water hackers. On the con-
trary, 1t has made them
more resolved than ever that
he must make the effort,
come what might. The situa-
ton Is creating difficult days
for the Senator. He has new
er been nearly so convinced
as have they Of the unargua-
BILE desirability and inevita-
bility Of his candidacy. All
the same, they are telling
him that he owes Q great
and unavoidable obligation to
his conservative principles
and also to them.
Indeed, it Is letting out no
well-hidden secret to say
that Senator Goldwater-a
personal friend, by the way,
Of both Kennedy and john
son-has before this some
times been made uncomfor-
table by a somewhat excessive
love Of himself from some
who are In his camp. He
himself is no party bolter;
and he Is not happy to hear
others speak in such terms.

A. Earthworms break up the
soil by diggin g holes and
turn the earth by transport
ing soil from one layer to an
other the holes allow air
and water to pass into the

from the earth particles and

who is told, you have never

this movie outstanding and

masterful camera work, be-
comes part of the reality of

Federico Fellino, who has
been called the genius of the
Italian movie industry, demon
strates in "81a," the grand style
of movie making, where every
phase of the production is
given equal attention, so that
there is tremendous balance
which sets and sustains the
mood of the picture. The ac-
tors are perfectly cast, from the

Supposedly, this is the story
of Fellinis' life, but l rather
doubt this. l base my credulity
on the fact that one of the rea-
sons that "812's" hero can't
love is that he cannot love
others when he cannot love or
himself, and this mo-
vie was made by a man with
great confidence and respect
for his own ideas and abilities.
Actually, l don't think it mat
