The committee did not con-

other major highways such as
Georgia avenue In Montgomery
County, plus the Baltimore

Defense and Indian Head high

This type of sub-c orrid or
growth was advocated by build

gued the general plan was too
restrictive and designed merely
to carry commuters into the
District in accordance with
rapid transit plans of the Ma

Instead of sub-corridors. the

New coming concepts for more
flexible development and long
range construction of water
and sewer extensions we're rec
commended today in a revised
general plan Of wedges and
corridors" presented to the
Maryland-N ational Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion.
Worked out by the agency's
staff and a four-member ex-
pediting committee Of the COM
mission, the revamped general
plan for the year 1000 is still
geared to cities along four pro-
posed rapid transit corridors in
Montgomery and Prime e
Georges Counties.
The overall plan is designed
as a bulwark against the urban
sprawl planners fear will ac-
company bi-county growth ex-
pected to jump the $4,000 pop
ulation to ? million persons by
the year 1000.
The plan also carries the
controversial expreSsway plot
ted along the Potomac River
palisades. 1t replaces a Wiscon-
sin avenue corridor recon-
mended earlier as the inter-
state Route los connection
with the District.
Open Spaces Favored
New coming concepts include:
Use of green belts to retain
open spaces, a town sector zone
for planned community devel-
opment, clusters Of dwelling
units laced with open space,
and 10-year plans for water
and sewer extensions.
Dropped from the plan was
an original proposal for five
acre coming, a size soundly re-
jected last year by the govern
ing bodies Of both counties. As
a substitute, the mittee
suggests a two-acre zone for
outlying areas.
The two-acre zone is retained
and a lower density proposed in
the prime undeveloped North
west Branch watershed-the
scenic doorway to the Patuxent
River watershed.
Today's recommendations
are based on comments made
at eight public hearings held

On Top of Everest

1t would be rather less than Amer
ican to accept our belated conquest of
Mount Everest with total and unquali-
fled satisfaction. After all, our team
was third not first, in conquering the
massive Old Man Of the Himlayas.
For the Americans, following Sir
Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norkay to
the top is like being the second or third
man to break the 4-ninute mile Once
the initial breakthrough is accomplished,
some Of the suspense and drama has
rubbed off, and those who follow have
the psychological advantage of know
ing that victory is within grasp
But to the men who made it, being
third on Everest must have felt like
being the third man in Heaven. Stand
ing on top of the world, they must have
known the same sensation of wonder
and awe that only men like Col. John
Glenn have experienced out of this
world. Whether first or third, each had
inched up the same tortuous, icy cliffs
where a misstep could be fatal land was
for one member of the party. For the
Americans, as well as the British and
Swiss, there were the same numbing So
below temperatures, bowling 15O-mile
winds and staggering stresses of alti-
tude. On Mount Everest, these verities
remain constant, and treat all men as
equals.
If they were not first to the top, the
Americans were typically there with the
most They had three assault teams
hacking their way up from three diff
ferent angles. And their grand design,
If successful, will also put them atop
Everest's sister peaks, Lhotse and
Nuptse, all in one season. That would
add up to total of 82,768 mountain
feet, and at least bring the mass pro-
duction prize home where 1t belongs.
In money, men and imagination,
there has been nothing like this Amer
ican assault and conquest And even II

Jobs in the u. N.

The State Department has been
offered some good counsel by special
advisory committee reporting on the
stating OF the United Nations and re-
lated international organizations. The
counsel is simply this: Our country
should see to 1t that more and more
Americans get more and more OF the
staff positions.
Up to now, for example, although
the United States makes by far the
largest financial contribution to the u. N.
and associated agencies, It's citizens
occupy only l4.75 per cent OF the pro-
fessional staff posts In these organiza-
tions. BY way OF contrast, despite their
niggardly and sometimes delinquent
economic role in this field, countries like
the Soviet Union have relatively big
ger share OF such Jobs
This is something that speaks pretty
much for itself. Why should the Rus
slams, who make a remarkably smaller
economic contribution, get much better
deal than Americans In international

Setback in Italy

A not-so-funny thing happened to
Premier Fanfani and the Christian
Democrats in the italian election last
Sunday and Monday They lost good
deal Of ground to the Communists and
the rightists alike, including the moder-
ate Liberal Party.
Why? Although the vote is still be-
ing analyzed in Rome and elsewhere,
one aspect of it seems clear enough:
Mr.. Fanfani and his party suffered their
very sharp setback because his policy
of aperture siniStra"-the opening to
the left"-has stirred up lot of dis
content at both ends of Italy's political
spectrum.
Extremists among Pietro Nenni'S
Socialists have never liked Mr.. Nennis
support of the Fanfani coalition of
Christian Democrats, Social Democrats
and Republicans, and now they have
voted Red. Similarly, Christian DEM
ocratic conservatives and other elements
of the center and right have been un-
happy with Mr. Fanfani's experiment
with the left, and they have registered
that unhappineSS by throwing their
support to the Liberals, who have gained
over million votes, almost exactly as
many as the Communists. Thus Mr..
Fanfani and his party, dropping from
422 to 1873 per cent Of the popular vote,
and losing 13 seats in the Chamber of
Deputies, have been chastiSed by the
two extremes.
Nevertheless, despite this setback,
the Christian Democrats still are Italy's
dominant political organization, and
there is reason to hope that they will
continue to give the country relatively
stable government In that respect, as
one expert has put it, the election re-
suits, though disappointing, add up to
something less than disaster.

lican publishers who heard

They are now In favor
of giving what too glibly
has come to be called the
nuclear triggers" to all the
European allies. This at
titude is undoubtedly that Of
the armed services commit
tees Of the Senate and House.
1t is perhaps that of the ma
jority Of American people.
There is a cold logic in the
Rockefeller KisSinger pro-
posal. Certain it is there is
nowhere any monopoly In nu-
clear power. Any nation with
the money and the will to
spend 1t can have an atomic
force Of sorts. The Rookie
feller argument Is an old one
set up our allies with this
power and this will be a de-
terrent to irresponsible use
of 1t as we'll as a counter
to Soviet nuclear blackmail.
But there remains a stub
born will to wait. France al
ready is concerned about nu-
clear costs. Her people still
are politically restive. A
leader who spends for nu-
clear weapons must take 1t
out OF the welfare of his peo-
pie. He runs the danger Of
producing political explosions
perhaps more destructive
than his bombs.
New Fr0ntiersmen' Emerge
Everywhere in Europe and
Latin America there are
young new frontier" men
emerging from the ruins OF
old parties. They will lead
the new generation. Germany
under new leadership will be-
come more resilient politic-
ally. Spain offers q murky
picture. but there are new
generation personalities.
Portugal is still In an au-
thoritarian posture. Her po-
sition will worsen because OF
her African colonial policy.
Turkey still is midway OF an
exhausting revolution which
old leaders have not been
able 10 complete or substan-
TALLY advance. In that coun-
try, too. a new generation OF
leaders Is moving slowly to-
ward influence. What will
happen In Russia wher
death or destiny takes Kh->

there. too. young artists and
intellectuals are in ferment.

that the world seems 10 be

'AwfuI' Decision?

In an unusual ruling, the United
States Court of Appeals has ordered a
District Court Judge to take another
look at the case of William H. Leach,
recently given a maximum five-to-
fifteen-year sentence for robbery.
Leach is a recidivist-that is, he
reverts to criminal habits despite pun
ishment. He has spent all but SO days
Of the past 81 years in various prisons
for assorted crimes.
Nevertheless, he was certified as
mentally competent to stand trial for
this latest robbery, and he did not offer
any kind Of insanity defense. So, upon
conviction, Judge Curran imposed the
maximum sentence, which we think
was entirely justified
The majority Of a three-judge ap-
pellate panel, however, has sent the
case back with an instruction to the
trial Judge to consult the Legal Psy-
chiatric Service In connection with the
sentence. Judge Wright, who was joined
by Chief Judge Bazelon, said that In
the act Of sentencing, "the Judge ap-
proaches the attributes Of the Almighty
he sits in judgment Of his fellow man."
He also spoke Of the imposition OF
sentence as judges awful decision"
and he went on to obserte that in
sentencing convicted criminals, 1T may
be also that further consideration gen.
orally may provide more appropriate
means for protecting the interests OF
society and the appellant"
Whatever this high-flown language
may mean, the majority did not under
take TO say what sentence should be
imposed on Leach. And, as Judge Bas-
tian, dissenting, pointed out, the APP
pellate court has mo Jurisdiction over
sentencing"
Nonetheless, in this ruling, the ap-
pellate majority commands the trial
Judge TO exercise what Congress plainly
intended TO be discretionary authority.

a whole, can fairly be construed as an

THE POLITICAL MILL
Beating Heating Will Be a Tough Job

the State in conformity with
the 1860 census, since New
York lost several House seats.
He pulled another surprise
when he won last November
in the new 35th District, also
believed TO be strongly Re-
publican, a district that
stretches across UP state
New York. He wanted to run
for governor against Mr..
Rockefeller, but was turned
down by the powers in WASH
ington and New York. Now
he is willing, 1t is reported,
to take on Senator Heating.
One thing he would have In
his favor over Mayor Wagner
In such a race-he would not
be involved In the bitter fac
tional fights which Mayor
Wagner has waged in the
big city.
Expected TO Run
The Democratic efforts to
strengthen the party in New
York nationally conceived
have been in the past on the
theory that Gov. Rockefeller
will be the @. o. P. nominee
to run against President
Kennedy next year. Mr..
Rockefeller has twice been
elected governor by over half
a million votes-the second
time after his divorce.
Whether he remarries or not,
Republicans in New York
firmly believe that he would
be the strongest candidate
the G. o. P. can put up
against the President not
only IN the state but also IN
the country.
So far, the governor has
not said positively that he
will either remarry or that
he will be a candidate for
President. He has strongly
intimated he would seek the
presidential nomination. He
has not denied he will re-
marry. There are those who
remember how in December,
1859, he took himself out Of
the race against former Vice
President Nixon for the 1860
nomination. Some of them
are wondering If he will pull
another political retreat. He
still is travelling about the
country, making speeches and
holding press conferences as
through he were an active
candidate. His intimates say,
however, that he has not yet
begun to set up a Rockefeller
for President organization.
Also it is known that the
Governor in the past has
placed heavy reliance on
polls" Of voter opinion. He
may be waiting until after
his marriage, now expected,
to Mrs. Margaretta Fitler
Murphy, before he makes a
final decision. She is an at
tractive woman and could be
an asSet-not a liability-to
the Governor in a race for
the White House.
The three big name" po-
tential nominees to run
against Senator Keating -
Roosevelt, Hartman and
Morgenthau-all have their
proponents. Mr.. Hartman is a
former governor, Mr.. Roose-
velt a son Of FDR, and Mr..
Morgenthau a nephew of a
former Secretary of the
Treasury.

Are the three District
Commissioners a legislature?
II not. how can they satisfy
the requirements OF the l4th

mo State shall make or en-
force any law which shall
abridge the privileges or i'm

AS one looks at the world
today one might say 1t seems
patiently to be waiting for
more Jack Kennedys. Lest
this cause some citizens to
vince and cry aloud. let us
describe the projection as
Russia and Spain are so
waiting. 1t also is true that
certain other, and smaller,
nations are In, or nearing,
this same status Of allegiance.
The mood Of London. as one
senses 1t from by-election re-
ports and the restless discon-
tents OF her people. is for
new and younger leadership.
Spain is moving toward the
new Europe. New and
younger forces slowly are re-
laxing her Fascist bonds and
the Victorian mentality. This
is chiefly possible because
the United States alliance
has brought a new prosperity
and a surge Of tourism has
augmented 1t.
The Com m unist Party
moved up strongly In the
Italian election and the pro-
Western Fanfani government
is in trouble. The cause, one
feels, is not so much a shift
to Red sentiment as a rest
lessness and impatience.
Time Relentless
So a certain waiting is
necessary. And when 1t is
done there will be younger
men in charge OF govern
ments. There is a new from
tier. The Kennedy campaign
phrase OF 1860 is sustained
by events In science, history,
and economics. Time soon
will deal with Khrushchev,
De Gaulle. and Franco. Ade-
nauer's own party has forced
him out because the new
frontier In Europe requires
him TO 90.
II is this situation In Eu-
rope which made Governor
Nelson Rockefeller's address
TO the somewhat dismayed
newspaper publishers seem IL
logical and ill-timed. What
Mr.. Rockefeller proposed was
that the United States move
now 10 sell 10 the nations
Of Europe the necessary nu-
clear weapons or "materi-
ais" Such sales would an
ticipate an agreement Of q
