Regional Victory

Despite Representative BroyhillS
rather silly complaint that the whole
thing is Federal plot to control area
planning, there is reason to be en-
couraged by the strong support which
local governing bodies are giving a
proposal to strengthen the Metropolitan
Washington Council Of Governments.
For two reasons. 1t indicates, first,
growing recognition Of the perfectly
obvious fact that more effective politi-
cal machinery is required to attack reg
ional problems successfully on a regional
basis. And it also suggests growing
confidence that vigorous local participa-
ton in regional affairs poses no threat
to local autonomy.
Bya unanimous vote last Friday, the
Prince Georges County Board of Com
miSsioners Endorsed the proposal to seek
a congressional charter for the Council
of Governments. The lone dissenter, the
Alexandria City Council, will reconsider
its action later this month. Two other
urisdictionS-the District Of Columbia
and Loudoun County-have not yet ex-
pressed themselves. We trust that they
will concur with the majority This
leaves only Montgomery standing aloof,
having withdrawn from the council.
All of the details of the so-called
charter proposal are not clear. But by
the time bills are introduced and hear
ings finally held (probably next year,,
a number of questions, including the
councils relationship to the National
Capital Regional Planning Council, must
be resolved. Essentially, however, the
charter would recognize the Council of
Governments as the dominant agency
responsible for developing regional plans
for the National Capital Area, and would
make the council eligible to receive plan
ming grants from the Federal Govern
ment.
Among professional planners, there
is concern about placing planning deci-
sionS so directly in the hands Of politi-
clans. They believe that the planning
process, which by its nature is advisory,
should be kept as free as possible from
politics, and left to the technicians. But
the hard fact of life is that elected and
oPPOAAlOOA POAAOANAoAlo d1C PCOPlC WIN
lNut plans into effect or reject them.
And the simple, persuasive argument ad-
vanced by members of the Council of
Governments is that II they have a hand
in regional planning from the begin
ming, the plan which finally energies is
much more apt to become an accept
able, practical guide for the growth Of
the region than If 1t is left to the plan
ners alone.
To be sure, this approach might i'm
pose some degree Of restriction on the
maneuverability Of city and regional
planners In their search for ideal solu-
tions. But Washington's experience with
ideal" plans in recent years has not
been very happy one.
Our shelves are full of them
gathering dust.

The Church Bombers

To read Of the unspeakable atrocity
in Birmingham is to wonder to what
depths of depravity men can sink. For
this was not a crime committed in the
heat of a racial clash It was premedi-
tated, deliberate, wanton murder. The
killers could not have known who their
victims would be; perhaps they didn't
even know they would be children. And
obviously they didn't care. All they
wanted was to bomb crowded Negro
church on peaceful Sunday. The
motive, If this was anything more than
an act of sheer lunacy, must have been
terror for the sake of terror.
Every effort surely will be made to
find these criminals. And Federal as
siStance already has gone far beyond
"picayune and piecemeal aid" Of which
Roy wilkins has ill-adviSedly spoken.
We may be certain that the Depart
ment of Justice and the FBI will do
everything in their power. But the
difficulties may be formidable. In the
past six years there have been some
so bombings in Birmingham, about
half related to labor disputes and about
20 involving racial clashes. Further
more, Birmingham is not only an in
duStrial city in which dynamite is
readily available; it harbors elements
in its population who are skilled in the
use of explosives and who are quick
to violence.
One clear need is for responsible
people in Alabama to step out and set
an example, not only of law enforce
nent, but of respect for law. The new
city administration Is trying to do this.
But Governor Wallace is not.
1t is not to be supposed that Mr..
Wallace Intentionally encouraged yes
terday's church bombing. But a man
cannot escape moral responsibility for
the probable consequences of his acts.
When State Governor sets the ex-
ample Of defiance of authority, espe-
cially In such climate as Birming-
hams, he encourages the lunatic fringe
to go forth and do likewise-or worse.
Governor Wallace is guilty Of this, and
his hands will not be cleansed because
he has offered a $4,000 reward for
apprehension of the bombers. Incite-
ment remains Indictment, and the
deaths of these children must lie heavily
upon his conscience.

Mr.. Duncon's Problem

Commissioner Duncan says he wants
to see lat the forthcoming Senate hear
ings on the District budget what kind
OF job Donald Brewer has been doing
as acting welfare director before decid-
ing whether to recommend Mr.. Brewer
or an unidentified prospect" for the
post Of permanent director.
The Welfare Department is, in fact,
one of the agencies under Mr.. Duncan'S
direct supervision. After observing Mr..
Brewer in the job since last February,
Mr.. Duncan knows very we'll how he has
been doing. And we suspect that per-
Torrance has very little to do with the
Commissioners attitude. Among other
things, Mr. Brewer is not quite liberal
enough in his welfare thinking to suit
Mr.. Duncan-a failing which sent the
Commissioner feveriShly, and unsuccess-
fully, beating the bushes for a replace
ment few months ago. 1t was Senator
Byrd Of West Virginia who, some time
ago, suggested pointedly that the Com
miSsionerS should make no decisions un-
til Mr. Brewers stewardship of the
agency could be analysed at the hear
ings.
Mr.. Duncan will have no great prob
lem, OF course, If the hearings should
disclose that Mr.. Brewer has made a
mess Of things. But 1t will be interesting
to watch the Commissioner If 1t turns
out that the welfare program is sailing
along, for the first time in a long while,
on a steady. even keel.

Hope and Mr.. Rusk

In his speech to the American
Legion at Miami Beach, Secretary of
State Rusk has listed several matters
on which the United States would like
to negotiate firm agreements with the
Soviet Union. Certainly, given such
agreements, the Communist East and
the free West would enjoy a genuine
detente, a real easing Of tension, a
change Of atmosphere that could lead,
step by step, toward peace worthy of
everybody'S confidence.
Thus, to begin with, Mr.. Rusk is
hopeful that we and the Russians will
be able TO work out an accord ION safe
guards against war by accident, mis-
calculation or surprise attack" The
Kremlin has already announced that
1t is prepared to discuss this issue In
detail, even to the point Of accepting
the idea Of reciprocal ground observa-
ton to keep watch on key ports, air
fields, railway functions, etc. Mr.. Rusk's
thought is that an American-So I'M
Outstanding to establish such a policing
system-limited though 1t would be
might open the way to bigger and better
things. What he has In mind, for ex-
ample, are agreements that would pro-
mote disarmament, put an end to the
Berlin danger and bring our two coun-
tries together in cooperative exploita-
ton Of space for peaceful purposes
The Secretary Of State, however, is
a realistic and highly knowledgeable
man who has lived long enough in this
world, and who has tussled long enough

with its problems, to realize that 1t
is foolhardy to look for a sudden mi
raculous change of Soviet intentions
toward u.s." The fact of the Russian
military presence in Cuba must con-
tinue to be reckoned with. And the
same holds true for what the Kremlin
is trying to do, as Just announced by
the Moscow radio, to promote the COM
munization Of British Guiana-which
is still colony Of Britain, and one
bitterly divided between the Negro
minority (about AZ per cent of the
total $4,000 population) and the East
Indians, headed by Prime Minister
Jagan, self-avowed Marxist, along
with his wife.
What makes all this disquieting is
that Guiana shares a common frontier
with Venezuela and Brazil-a geograph-
ical factor favorable to the Cuban-based,
Kremlin- financed terrorists who afflict
the area. Clearly, as long as Moscow is
intent upon trying to Subvert the
Americas, one should not succumb to
false hopes. But Mr.. Rusk, in his rather
dry and workmanlike fashion, holds
on to cautious optimism.
AS he has put 1t: 1--WE believe that
the Soviet Union and the United States
have mutual interest in avoiding mu-
tual destruction. So we hope 1t will be
possible to reach agreements" Both
this belief and this hope, despite the
Kremlin's alterations, find support in

Constitution Week

September 1923 Is United

Our Declaration Of Independ-
ence, United States Consti-
tuition and Bill Of Rights,
plus the IL Amendments
since, form hardly more than
a pamphlet just 81 pages.
II embodies the best man
made laws In all history,
to insure freedoms Of q peo-
pie. The precise wording,
worked out by our learned
Founding Fathers, was east
ly explained by our teachers
and understood by their stu
dents, from their first year
in high school up until 80
years ago.
Today, however, with
Presidents, majorities of
Congresses and a politician
packed Supreme Court, point
ing to unconstitutional pre-
cedents, arbitrarily m a d e
during the last 80 years as
the law Of our land and
the Federal executive, legisla-
tive and judicial coalition
making new unconstitutional
decisions according to their
whim, most people are total
ly confused.
Many books and innumera-
BILE thousands Of excess
words, extoll this great his
torical document, but all
Of them that give the read
er or student the impression
that it is still the Rock of
Gilbralter, protector Of our
individual, human freedoms
and rights, are misleading.
It is not. In just 80 years,
the majority Of our elected
politicians from Presidents
down. have systematically
circumvented 1t and most OF
our people do not know this
All Of our people, regard
less of race, color, religion
or creed, have enjoyed more
freedoms under our Consti-
tuition than all other peoples
on earth, throughout history.
Instead Of allowing socialist,
power-hungry politicians and
racial or labor leader ora
tors - plus subverters - to
cause US to hate and fight
each other - we better join

A check Of the records Of

the District Of Columbia,
which handles all serious fell

trict, will show the sentences
handed down by judges on
this bench TO be far longer
than sentences handed down
for similar crimes in other
courts in the country. The
use Of probation in this court
is less than in the rest Of the
country. These are facts
which can be proven. Does
this indicate leniency7 On
the other hand, In spite Of
these long sentences. crime

indicating the causes and
