A Gift From Italy

Some day, when the National Gull
tural Center is reality, the arts seen
and heard there will be tangibly linked
with the glories of Rome, Florence and
Venice. For the marble which will go
into the center's construction will be
cut from the famous Italian quarries
which supplied the great edifices Of
that country.
II President Kennedy's European
trip had accomplished nothing else, 1t
would be remembered by cultural center
advocates, at least, for the gift of
marble which he accepted from the
Italian government while in Rome. 1t
is doubtful whether that land whose
culture we so admire could have i'm
proved on the choice as a symbol Of
friendship and best wishes.
AS Roger Stevens, the culture CEN
ter chairman, has noted, the generous
donation will mean even more than
something to enhance the beauty Of
the architecture. An important cost
item in itself, perhaps worth 81 million
in the construction, the gift will stimu-
late many other contributions toward
the $50 million building goal.
To walk one day in halls surrounded
by the kind of marble that Cicero, Mi
chelangelo, Virgil and Dante knew will
be to feel the ties that bind us to Italy's
ancient culture. To our Italian friends,
we acknowledge a gift Of lasting value.

When Dr. Philip B. Cove, editor Of
the third edition Of Webster's New In
ternational Unabridged Dictionary and
Of the seventh edition of Webster's Col
legiate Dictionary, was in town recently,
he said that most serious scholars in
formed in the history of language" APP
prove of the Third International and
that most Of the complaints have come
from the popular press" The most
fundamental Of the complaints, of
course, has been that this dictionary is
reluctant, not only to be an arbiter Of
usage, but even to admit that good
usage" is an honest or useful concept
"If word is seen in print or heard"
DR.. Cove said, at doesn't make sense
to say 1t doesn't exist. Most of the
clamor Is based on a complete ignor-
ance Of what dictionary is. It's the
people who use the language who de-
termine what words are disable in what
context"
We are glad to learn that serious
scholars are pleased with the Third In
ternational, and as one of It's more ag-
gressive critics we would like to add a
word on the position of the popular
press DR.. Cove is quite mistaken; we
do not want to exclude from the die
tionary any word whatever-not even
"finalize" or "debriefing." There is no
word that is not of value to the man
who is its master.
But we do think that dictionary is
worthless Except as an aid to spelling)
when 1t is unwilling to establish a norm
from which It's user is free to depart
we do object to a dictionary which says
of "irregardless" that 1t is too widely

Too Many Martins?

Very few trials have concluded on
a more controversial note than that
of Gareth Martins, the 23-year-old son
of a New York Criminal Court Judge,
who was exonerated in a traffic acct
dent resulting in the deaths of five
persons.
The verdict attracted more than
customary attention because it was
given by three judges sitting on the
Bronx court bench usually shared by
the defendants father Five minutes
after the trial ended, they decided Mr..
Martins was innocent of all six mis-
demeanor charges, including drunken
and reckless driving and leaving the
scene of an accident. In New York City,
jurieS are not permitted in miSde-
meanor cases.
From a tangle of conflicting testi-
mony and unusual procedures, enough
questions have been raised to touch
off several Investigations. In one, the
Police Department wants to know
why two policemen testified that Mr..
Martins was sober and cooperative,
while two others said he was drunk at
the time of the accident. He refused to
take drunk driving test Immediately
after the crash, which occurred May 10
on Henry Hudson parkway. There was
testimony Mr.. Martins was driving at
from rs to 80 miles an hour, weaving
in and out Of traffic, when his car
clipped the rear of another, sending
it out of control and headlong into the
path of a third. Five persons in the
second car were killed
All the witnesses at the trial, and
perhaps some who should have been
but weren't, are being invited to grand
jury investigation. Among other things,
the jury will be told of Mr.. Martins
traffic record: Three speeding tickets
and convictions within 16 days; 10 I'M
answered traffic tickets in the glove
compartment of his car at the time
Of his most recent arrest.
The District Attorney has promised
to seek an indictment for traffic homi-
eide. 1t is more than evident that the
grand jury will have plenty to think
about.

Mr.. Chalk Spreads Out

o. Roy Chalk, who is not the retir-
ing type, has made no secret Of his
desire to improve his position as Mr..
Big in Washington area transit. Beyond
the District, his bus operations already
include slice Of the Maryland trade.
His move now to take over the wVSsM
Coach Co. (Arnold Lines) is a logical
extension to the south which, at first
glance, makes good deal of sense.
Before approving the purchase, reg
ulatory agencies of course will need
great deal more information than is
available in the skinny announcement
issued by the D. c. Transit System. They
should make absolutely certain, for ex-
ample, that the deficiencies" promised
by Mr.. Chalk would not accrue from the
curtailment of essential service in any
part of Virginia.
But the fact is that more unified
operation, properly conducted, quite
possibly could result In improvements
particularly in matters of routingS and
fares. We suspect that another major
factor In the deal is to bolster Mr..
Chalk'S bargaining position in regard to
whatever system of rapid transit is APP
proved for the area. And this could be
a good thing. Whether the urgently
needed rail system would be operated
privately has not yet been determined.
In any event, however, the relative roles
of buses and rail transit will be a crit
ical and delicate problem of negotiation.
With bigness, of course, the need for
increased surveillance grows common
surately. The merger proposed by Mr..
Chalk would substantially increase the
burden Of responsibility on the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area Transit Com
mission. This alone is no reason, how
ever, to shy away from move which
potentially could result in benefits to the
public.

May I give my definition
Of a liberal" with all Of
whom I am in disagreement
as a Goldwater Democrat?
A liberal is usually one
who, having little in the way
Of worldly goods himself, is
willing to take away what
others have, chiefly in the
form Of taxes so that the
Government can gain more
control and take away their
freedoms, too. including,
through social changes, their
rights of association and
property.
Though he breaches toler-
ance, those who disagree
with him the liberal calls
"bigots."
II the liberal seems to have
a good share Of the things
Of this world, chances are
that he is only espousing the
cause Of liberalism in order
to gain support Of the less
fortunate to enhance his own
prestige, especially his politi-
cal prestige.
The liberal is not con-
cerned with the solvency Of
his fellow man or his coun-
try; in fact, he seems bent
upon destroying both, to the
end that a different form of
government shall prevail

100 Years Ago

All Of the blood shed dur
ing the Civil War was not
on fields of battle. New York
City was the scene of a four
day bloody riot at this time
a century ago as civilians
terrorized the metropolis in
protest over the national
CONSUMPTION law, which made
most able-bodied males be-
tween 20 and As subject to
military duty. There were
many defects in the law, not
the least of which allowed a
drafted man of means to hire
a substitute to do his fight
ing. Also a strong strain of
Southern sympathy existed
in New York, and some of
the city's leading newspapers
stirred things up with con-
slant criticism Of President
Lincoln and the Government
In general. Then, too, New
York's Governor, Horatio
Seymour, was politically OPP
posed to Lincoln and made
no serious effort to discour-
age powerful anti-war senti-
ment among his constituents.
The riots took place July 10
16, 1858. Casualties were es-
timated in the thousands,
with some 500 deaths attrib-
uted directly or indirectly to
the rio ting. Troops were
called hack from Gettysburg
to restore order. Many build
ings, including an armory,
were burned. There were
pitched battles in the streets
and troops turned field guns
on savage crowds. Stores
boarded UP their glass fronts
and business came TO q

Of the court be elected every
three years.
Judges of the United States

be elected for 8 years and

There Is no miStaking the signs
the American Negroes direct action"
drive for immediate realization of his
civil rights is on the verge Of getting
violently out Of hand.
Two sinister developments In re-
cent days have foreShadowed the i'm
pending crisis. Negro leaders, pleading
with their cohorts for restraint, have
been brushed aside by a rank-and-file
bent on conflict. And guns have APP
peared in substantial numbers on both
sides of the battle line-and they have
been used.
That was the story last week in
Cambridge. That was the story in
Savannah. That will be the story across
the land, unless effective action is
taken to bring the situation under
control.
If there were a dominant figure
in the national Negro community, the
problem would be relatively simple. He
would have an obvious duty. AS the
strong and confident captain of this
Just crusade, he would call on his people
to turn away from violence-to get out
of the streetS-to give society chance
to yield to the moral perSuaSivenesS
of the Negroes cause, as yield 1t must,
rather than to the threat of mob action,
which it can never do.

Cannon have been brought

Yard and placed in position

the Sub-Treasury and Post
Office. That rowdy quarter
of New York known as the

rioters. There is great excite
ment at the Seventh avenue

groes and burning them. The
mobs are driving back the
soldiers. Cannons are posted
in front OF the Times and
Tribune offices. The Times
and Tribune are the only pa
pers that have dared squarely
to denounce the mob and sus-
tain the CONSUMPTION law.
The State House and bell
tower on Second avenue were

y Il i
All Of our American people
must plan for a better way
of life. The equality Of all
citizens in the exercise Of
civil rights is guaranteed by
the Constitution and by the
principles of a free people on
which our Government rests.
Only in those matters
which are common to all
men should the American
people be ruled by the Su-
preme Court. Each Of the so
States has certain peculiari-
ties which must be regulated
by different laws. However,
the State cannot stand be-
tween the individual and the
laws of the land; or, in the
doorway as one Governor
chose to do.
I am glad to see our re-
ligious leaders of every faith
united and working to elimi-
nate bigotry from our land,
for every American should
have the right and privilege
to live with Christian love
and humility.
