George Mason CoIIeqe

Those citizens who have worked
long and assiduously for facilities to
house the Northern Virginia branch of
the University Of Virginia, and who felt
that the State Legislature had appro-
priated adequate funds to finance the
first stage Of construction, were rudely
jolted when the construction bids were
opened some time ago. Even the lowest
bid was about $880,000 above the amount
made available by the General Assembly.
Under the circumstances, Governor Har-
rison had no choice but to reject them all.
No purpose is served by pointing the
finger at individuals. 1t is evident that
the requirements presented to the Legis-
lature by State officials were grievously
underestimate. The important consid-
Grafton now, however, is that the threat
OF an indefinite setback for the George
Mason Branch College apparently has
been averted through the good offices
OF Governor Harrison.
After hearing full explanation Of
the dilemma by delegation from the
Northern Virginia region the other day,
the Governor ordered the university and
the State budget office TO make as many
reductions in cost as possible without
sacrificing the basic integrity OF the
college design, and Immediately there
after to seek new bids for three-and
possibly four-major buildings. There
is possibility that funds earmarked
for the eventual construction of the
college library may be used for the initial
construction. In any event, Governor
Harrison repeatedly expressed determi-
nation to see the first phase Of the plan
in operation by the fall Of 1854.
This is good news. The construction
now proposed is only small portion OF
the physical plant which ultimately will
be needed to accommodate students
from this region. And the rapid popu-
lation growth in Northern Virginia is
warning enough that there is no time
TO lose.

MONDAY, APRIL IS, 1863

1t is a sign of growing mutual trust and
political maturity which has evolved
from experience.
These, Of course, are traits which
Mr. Hiser and some of his associates
could not be expected to possess in
abundance at this infant stage of their
political lives. But one need not abandon
hope. Some time ago the council dele
gated DR.. Thomas M. Wilson, among It's
members perhaps the most dubious
about the Metropolitan Council, to sit
with the regional group. DR.. Wilson has
participated fully and intelligently in
the discussions, and has come to the
conclusion that Montgomery would be
foolish to withdraw from the metropoli-
tan community. A similar experience
and exposure might serve to open the
eyes Of his colleagues.

Three Blind Mice

John H. Hiser, that well-known font
OF wisdom on regional politics, unbur-
dened himself Of the profound observa-
ton the other day that the Washington
Metropolitan Council OF Governments
started out to be goodwill, Dutch
treat luncheon club, but now It's Just
pyramiding into a great bureaucracy"
Accordingly, Mr.. Hiser and two Of his
novice colleagues on the Montgomery
County Council cast votes which reaf-
firmed their earlier decision TO scorn
membership in the Council OF Govern
ments-a position In which Montgomery
stands alone.
1t is entirely true that the council
did little more than discuss mutual
problems in its early days-and has not,
In fact, become real ball Of fire since
then. But the fact that It's members now
are showing some desire TO expand their
activities into more meaningful forms
Of regional activity is not bureaucracy.

The Chonqe in Canada

Although the mechanics of actually
transferring power and reaching a re-
liable partnership with minority bloc
are still to be worked out definitively,
Lester Pearson appears certain today
Of the privilege Of heading a new
Liberal Party government in Canada.
The prospect is one that is reassuring
to Canada's neighbors on this side of
the frontier and to the many personal
and official friends who remember Mr..
Pearson from the time when he was
a popular Ambassador in Washington.
AS for the formalities Of trans
ferring authority, Mr.. Pearson and
resigning Conservative Prime Minister
John Diefenbaker should have no diff
ficulties. The fact that the Liberals
are still three seats short of an out
right majority in the House Of Com
mons, however, leaves them dependent
on voting help from some other source.
A bloc Of six members of the Social
Credit Party promised this support last
week. While some Of these have since
expressed qualifications about their
position, Social Credit spokesman have
given further assurance of help to a
Liberal Government.
This is, however, rather surprising
turn in the intra-family politics of our
good neighbor to the North, and was so
described by one Liberal Party spokes-
man, Lionel Chevrier of Quebec. Mr..
Chevrier added, also, that he was parti-
cularly pleased because "there are no
strings attached"
1t will be interesting If this is so. The
Social Credit Party is usually described
as rightwing political movement. In
some ways it is. 1t favors a balanced bud
get, curtailment of the national debt
and elimination of many welfare pro-
grams But it proposes to accomplish
these detectives In rather strange ways
by having the government create enough
money so there would not be budget de-
ficit, by repudiating much Of the present
national debt, and by direct government
handouts to most people in need. It's poll
tical strength is concentrated largely in
the French-speaking Quebec area, still
reSentful Of wartime CONSUMPTION.
Actually, the six who have promised
to support Mr.. Pearson-except possibly
on the issue Of nuclear ornaments for
Canada-have professed the best of mo-
tives, namely, to assure the country of a
stable" government. Since the moder-
ately left-of-center New Democratic
Party seems to be In about the same state
OF mind, Mr.. Pearson and his Liberals APP
pear to be in good shape. 1t will be their
problem to figure out how to deal with
their friends and supporters in Parlia-
ment.

It's Not Funny

Since his election as Michigans first
Negro Congressman in 1855, Representa-
tive Charles c. Diggs, IT,, has fought
racial discrimination wherever he has
found it-but always fairly and with a
high degree Of intelligence. We recall
his expression of outrage a few years
ago, after witnessing a gang of young
Negro hoodlumS viciously beat and rob
a Negro man in an assault at Logan
Circle. Mr.. Diggs described the attack
ers in House speech as "a pack Of
wolves" and urged the Negro commu-
nifty Of Washington to assume a greater
responsibility in the fight against local
crime. For this suggestion he was criti-
cized by some within his own race.
1t is the more ironical in view Of this
fair-minded attitude that Mr.. Diggs hap
pened to be guest the other night in
the home of an NAACP leader in Clarks-
dale, Miss, which was the target Of flam-
ing home made bombs thrown by two
young white men. Fortunately these
punks have been caught and are now in
jail.
Their explanation was that they
were "just having fun"-to which there
is only one answer. There is nothing
funny about the incident, and the Judge
who hears their case should impose a
sentence which will leave no room for
doubt on that score in their minds, or in
the minds of anyone else

remained so, despite erection
Of the addition on Seventh

First Amendment

Robert Dilks In his letter
hes clearly demonstrated
that James Madison, an au-
thor Of the Federal Bill Of
Rights, regarded a system of
governmental chaplaincies as
inconsistent with the non
establishment provision of
the First Amendment (The
Star. April 4. 1859. How
ever. the authority and con-
stitutional effect Of that
amendment arose not from
its introduction or sponsor
ship by Madison in the
House of Representatives,
but from its approval by two
thirds Of the two Houses Of
Congress and its subsequent
ratification by three-fourths
Of the States. Therefore,
its controlling Interpretation
should be sought less in the
individual views Of Madison
(although they are entitled
to great respect) than in the
general intent and purpose
in regard to, it on the part
Of Congress and the people
Of the United States as q
whole. If the First Con-
greSS, which initiated the
First Amendment, also sane
toned a system Of govern
mental and military chap
laincies. and the public
acquiesced therein. this would
be strong evidence that the
general viii and intent re-
specting the religious clause
OF the amendment differed
from Madison's.

No Jury Trial.?

The Supreme Court has been asked
to decide whether Mississippi's Governor
Ross Barnett is entitled to jury trial on
criminal contempt charges pending
against him as an outgrowth Of last
years rioting at the University of Missis-
Sippi in the Meredith case.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
divided A on the question. The four ap-
pellate judges advocating jury trial said
that ut is much less important, in the
judicial scheme of things, that Gov. Bar
nett should escape being fined or jailed
for his publicly demonstrated contempt
of valid order of this court Idoes this
mean that he has been found guilty prior
to. any trial? than that he should be
denied the jury trial which he has
demanded" The four judges on the other
side took the position that the Supreme
Court has already held that criminal
contempts are not subject to jury trial as
matter of constitutional right"
The Supreme Courts decision will
not be influenced by our view of this
matter. And it should not be. Nonethe-
less, we feel strongly that the attempt to
bypass jury trial for Governor Barnett
on this criminal charge is both stupid
and unjust.
There is strong probability that a
Southern jury would be alphabetically
inclined toward the Governor, although
this would not necessarily be the case.
But what Of the other side Of the coin?
The prestige Of the Federal courts is at a
low ebb in the South. To put 1t more
bluntly, great many people In that area
have lost confidence in the impartiality
Of their Federal judges. And the no-jury-
trial attitude Of four Of the appellate
Judges, If Governor Barnett should be
found guilty without jury trial, will
simply add to this loss Of respect and
confidence. In the long run, this could be
very serious matter. Our feeling is that
the four appellate judges who favor a
Jury trial Gin the larger interests of the
judicial scheme of things" are both right
and endowed with more wisdom than
their dissenting colleagues.
, It is entirely conceivable that a
Southern jury would acquit Governor
Barnett Of criminal contempt when he
should have been convicted. 1t should not
be forgotten, however, that civil con-
tempt charges, with respect to which
there is no question of right to Jury
trial, are being held in allegiance. Furth-
errnore, the concept of the right to a jury
trial on criminal accusation is deeply
implanted in the American mind. Federal
appellate judges, insulated, as they
should be, from the presSures of public
opinion, may be indifferent to this con-
sideration But the case of Governor Bar
nett really is more of a political than a
judicial controversy. In our belief, it will
be better If he has the benefit of what
most people, especially the people in the
South, will think of as a fair trial
and this, we believe, means a trial by
jury Of his peers. If this should result
in an unwarranted acquittal, the civil
contempt charges, as we have men
toned, still remain to be heard.

Yes, old Central and old
Tech High Schools were sep
arate but they were not equal.
Students of Central, located
on a beautiful hilltop, were
the aristocrats, with the city's
only high school stadium. But

beian sons of the bourgeoisie,
never admitted Central's su-
periority in either brains or

Techs graduates never in

distinguished alumnus, j.
Edgar Hoover, but like true
sons and daughters of Tubal
Cain, we became solid citizens
of the working class. And we
learned criticism is easier
than art.
DR.. Henderson's letter is
critical Of the physical de-
fects Of Negro schools, hous-
ing and Fairgrounds. He i'm
plies that II the separate
but-equal doctrine, ruled I'M
constitutional by our Su-
preme Court, was uncompro-
misingly enforced. the Negro
would overcome the ignominy
and injustice Of his political
deprivation. This could be
true. But here again criticism
is easy and the art Of the pos
sible is difficult. II is diff
cult because In demanding
an end TO the separate-but-
equal doctrines Of Recon-
struction days, the aggressive
Negro leadership insists II is
politically possible and de-
sirable TO outlaw all racial
separateness. The Negro
leadership insists that any or
all racial separateness has
been outlawed. Perhaps II has.
but II so. this is one ruling Of
the high court which is UNI
enforceable even with vigorous
prosecution and armed force.
Old Tech and old Central
symbolized a form Of sepa-
rateness in education that
never will die and the Su-
preme Court never will over
rule. We received more than
education in old Tech and old
Central. They we're more
than buildings. books and

ton from strength" one nag
ging question remains: What
was there that might have
been negotiable2 DR.. Bell,
of course, asks the question.
The reply is something less
than satisfying.
I'm a sense It will never
be possible to answer this
question categorically," she
writes. since it entails an
estimate Of intention, which
cannot be finally known:
Certainly not for Russia and
perhaps not even for the
Western powers, since there
were so many assorted and
disparate intentions involved
in the West"
IN ANY CASE, she feels
that time has proved mill
tarily to be against the West"
and that "the American
aspiration TO negotiate from
strength came TO nothing be-
cause the compounded plu-
ralism Of decision-making
in an alliance Of democra-
cies vitiated the effort at
strength, and the chosen
concept Of strength ruled out
the one promising issue for
negotiation" This promising
issue is presumably the
status Of q reunited Ger
many, but II is Just at this
critical point that DR.. Bells
normally clear and well-or-
ganized book suddenly turns
obscure.
She does not contend that
settlement Is now readily
possible. or even that II was
earlier. But" she continues,
Gin q period when the dan

stantly stressed, II may be

writer lived just five blocks
from Dunbar, a number of
years before and after it was

Of the area being swamp

to what might be regarded
as swamp land In that area
was Gleason's Pond in the
vicinity Of North Capitol and

peared when North Capitol
Street was extended beyond
