DRY POINTS

The health authorities are dis
turbed about the current hiking
fad theory that If one-mile walk
is good for you, so miles are so
times as good. They point out that
you can't get that healthy all Of a
sudden.
A high school youth has spotted
a misspelling in the design for a
new postage stamp, thus upsetting
one of Americas most deeply held
preiudices. It is now established
that Johnny can read, but Uncle
can't spell.
Nikita Is again proclaiming
brotherhood with the Chinese Com
munists, in an undertaking of real

Of shovels to bury the West first.
An award-winning modern paint
ing turns out to be a solid canvas
in solid black: a sensational thing
that does for art what the diction-
ary does for literature. It contains
every shape, every color, and every

conceive.

Greene, Jr., a Negro, is trying to
follow the trail broken by James
H. Meredith in enrolling at Ole
Miss, and so far has met exactly
the same obstacles that Meredith
did.
Registrar Ellis argument Is
that Greene's educational record,
doesn't qualify him for admission
to Ole Miss-a statement that Is
also hauntingly familiar. Federal
District Judge Sidney Mize, who
rejected Greene's appeal Monday,
ruled that the plaintiffs next step
should have been applying to the
university's board Of admissions.
The most Illuminating comment,
tho, came in reply to Greene's
charge that he had been denied ad-
mission because of his race. Said
Ellis, Race has no bearing on this
matter"
This appears to have convinced
the Judge. We wish somebody
would convince the rest Of Miss

Congress Has Refused
To Provide Tools
For Voting Rights
The Kennedy Administration has
been very active in protecting Ne
gro voting rights, yet it has been
a slow, tortuous battle, because
Congress has refused to provide
effective tools for waging the
fight. It is true that the Civil
Rights Acts of 1857 and 1860 con-
tain provisions to enforce voting
rights. But Southern registrars,
determined to keep Negro voting
at a minimum, have, through the
device Of the rugged Hteracy test,
fought a stubborn delaying action.

Apartment Value Cited
On Old Hospital Site

Fred Crowley, attorney for the
LEGION Co. seeking to build an
apartment house on the Provi-
dence Hospital site, told the
Southeast BusineSSmen's AS
sociation last night that the
building will greatly increase
the business potential Of the
area.
Mr.. Crowley said the build
ing would contain 500 units, so
to so per cent Of them eff
cheney apartments. Parking for
$50 automobiles would also be
provided within the building.
Findings Of recent surveys, he
said, showed that many people
working in the area Of Capitol
Hill would welcome the chance
to live within walking distance
of their jobs. The site for the
proposed building is the 200
book of D and E streets Sc.
The association already has
approved the proposal and has
written letters to the coming
commission voicing its support.
The site is now zoned R-4,
a classification which permits
only row houses. The LEGION
Co. is seeking to change the
coming to R-5D, which would
allow the 90-foot building.

A total Of 74s years isn't
quite as long as Methuselah
reputedly lived, but it's q
mighty long time anyway,
especially In view Of the fact
that's how long the mod
ern" struggle for human
rights has been going on.
The modern" struggle
dates from 1915 when King
John signed the Magma
Charta and each baron
rushed IN q scribe TO make
him q copy. One Of those
Magma Charta copies Is now
on display In B'nai Births
Klutznick Hall, 1910 Rhode
Island avenue NV.
It's part Of an exhibit
spanning those 748 years,
with some rs documents
marking the milestones in
the march for human rights.
Included Is the first known
broadside Of the Declaration
Of independence. printed by
5. Southwick In Newport,

off the Beam

In letter appearing on this page,
a correspondent takes Juvenile Court
Judge Marjorie Lawson to task for her
handling of a recent case involving a
boy with two previous offenses on his
record. We think our letter. writer is
not only off the beam, but that his
compass must be broken.
The juvenile in this case had two
previous offenSes-minor, as we under
stand it. He comes from a good home,
however, and is receiving pSychiatric
care from private physician. So Judge
Lawson released him on probation with
the understanding that his treatment
would continue.
Our correspondent prefers the han
ding of Baltimore case, in which an
other juvenile was sent to Jail for 10
days upon being found guilty of riotous
conduct in public park We do not
know the details of the Baltimore case.
But we doubt that Today Jail sentence
will help the Baltimore boy. Certainly,
to US at least, it makes more sense to
release a youngSter to his parents for
further mental treatment. This may
prove unavailing. But it is also possible
that this youngSter may be rehabilitated.
If he were our boy, we would like to
have a chance to try to salvage him.

AIbee Wins in Losino

Young Edward Albee, whose Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" did not win
a Pulitzer prize last week, may yet have
achieved more prestige in losing.
A great one with words-as he
proved by those he put in the mouths
of the four academic DRINKS of his cur
rently sensational play-Mr. Albee used
just the right ones to establish himself
as a model loser. IT don't think it is
appropriate to comment on an award
that was not given" he said.
Losing political candidates, baseball
pitchers who have just been called for
balk under the new rule, abstract paint
ers who have met up with non abstract
critics, and literally thousands of other
losers could learn something from Mr..
Albee.
He knows how to say mo comment"

The man In whom the intellectual
capacities preponderate can take the
liveliest interest in life-and in fact
cannot dispense with such interests
through the desire TO knoW, unham-
pered by the will. This interest trans
ports him to region to which pain is
in general a stranger, into the atmos-
phere Of the carefree gods. The lives Of
others are passed In daze, their every
thought absorbed by the petty concerns
OF their personal welfare by mean tri-
files OF every kind, so that intolerable
boredom asSails them as soon as there
is break in their routine, and they are
thrown back on themselves, only the
wild fire OF passion being capable Of
stirring the stagnant mass.
But the man well-endowed with
intellectual powers leads a life full Of
thought, variety and meaning; he is
occupied with worthy and fascinating
objects whenever he can give himself
up to them, and he possesses a source
OF the purest pleasure in himself. He
is stimulated from outside by the works
Of nature and the human. scene, and
