Fie on the writer of the

the winter solstice. He says
that ". In the weeks
ahead the sun is rising a
shade earlier each day. :"
1t is true that the shortest
period between sunrise and
sunset Is December 81 or
%. However. reference to any
almanac will show that, par
adoxically, the sun will be
rising a tiny shade later each
day until approximately
January 6 or 7, while at the
same time it has already
been setting slightly later
each day ever since about
December 6 or 7. Strange

SUNDAY, DECEMBER q. 1868

two-thirds of voting-age Americans
actually vote in presidential elections.
As the Presidents Commission on Regis
tration and Voting Participation has
pointed out, the failure to register is a
big factor in this poor record. And in
Washington, where the development of
a political electorate is still in the en-
bryonic stage, the need for voter educa-
ton is stronger than nearly anywhere
else.
But the problem is more one of
intensive education than of registration
centers. That is why the city-wide
registration campaign announced by
CORE and the AFL-CIO'S Committee
On Political Education-along with the
more intensive door-to-door contact
program planned in 20 of the lower
income precincts by the Washington
Urban League and three other groups
are so important. 1t would be too bad
if these worthy efforts were weakened
by feud over registration centers be-
fore the Election Boards plans are given
a chance.

Prince Norodom Sihanouk Of Cam
bodia, whatever else he may be, is not a
man whom one would put in the shrink
ing-violet category.
A few weeks ago he said he wanted
no more foreign aid from the United
States-after having had the benefit Of
several hundred million dollars Of it.
He also said he wanted the Americans
to recall their small team Of military
advisers to the diviSion-size Cambodian
army In addition he recalled his Am
baSsador to the United States, and we
brought ours home for consultation.
Now there has been a change
rather surprising change. The Prince is
willing to accept an offer from the Fill
pino President to mediate the dispute"
between Cambodia and the United
States. But on two conditions. One,
that the United States apologize" for
a complaint about an official Cambo-
dian radio broadcast which expressed
approval, without actually naming him,
of the assassination of President Ken
nedy. And, second, that we officially
withdraw our request for an inveStiga-
ton of the broadcast.
Prince Sihanouk, according to the
news reports, is talking vaguely about
having to seek the pardon of the United
States unless we first apologize to him.
And there is also suggestion that some
Philippine citizens might lose their jobs
in Cambodia If the American foreign aid
mission should be closed down.
Really, now What tail is wagging
what dog here? And where does this
Cambodian prince expect to go with
his attempt to blackmail the United
States? If he can get away with this
sort of thing, we may be buried sooner
than even Mr.. Khrushchev thinks.

Mother Christmas

In several European countries, the
spirit of this season is called Father
Christmas. If we recognize a similar
title over here, it would have to be
Mother Christmas.
There isn't day that isn't nice
one to have Christmas on, but the spe-
cial merit of Wednesday is that it gives
you quiet week end between Christmas
and New Years on which to contem-
plate all that has gone on in the last
week. What has gone on chiefly has
been the whirlwind activity of that
American institution, Mother Christmas.
Fathers, sons and daughters all labor
under the deluSion that they have
helped bring the family Christmas into
being. And so they have, according to
the limits of their powers. But the kind
of Christmas which has just taken place
in America is far beyond the powers of
little boys and girls and of adult males.
1t is the work of Mother Christmas.
She it was who conjured up the long
list of toys ranging from plastic ducks
for baby's bath to power tools for Dads
delight. She got them all wrapped not
only glamorously, which none Of the
others could have done, but neatly, as
well. She assembled and brought into
fruitful association the hundreds of in
gradients for Christmas feasting. She
cooked the feast and she persuaded
people to sit down and eat it.
At that point she stood in the midst
of utter devastation largely of her own
making and looked upon it and found
it good. Then, at the kitchen sink, she
began the slow process of reversal, Of
getting the festive chaos back into the
boxes of everyday life.
From the dishes to the wrappingS
to the repair and storage of toys to the
compilation of an accurate checklist
of gifts from afar to the supervision Of
prompt notes of thank you and happy
New Year, she has done 1t all.
There never was such Christmas.
The day is the gift of God, but the style
is the gift of the American Mother.

Preparing to Vote

With WashingtonianS eligible to
vote in presidential elections next year
for the first time, there is no precise
basis for anticipating voter response.
The D. c. Board of Elections has given
a great deal of thought, however, to its
plans for voter registration, which opens
January 2. And the current breast
beating about the inadequacy Of these
plans is not, we think, very persuasive.
Julius Hobson, the Washington
chairman of CORE, for example, pro-
tests the plan to close the District
Buildings registration center at pm.
on weekdays. He wants the center open
nights and Saturdays. 1--WE are going
to flood the building with voters" he
says, "to prove that the facilities for
registration are inadequate"
We hope Mr. HobSon is able to do
Just that. The last thing the District has
to worry about at this point is too many
voters. And if the demand to register
proves over a reasonable period to be
as heavy as Mr.. Hobson seems to think
it will be, the rules should be changed.
Actually, however, the most mean
ingful thrust of the registration drive
will not be at the District Building, but
in the 81 neighborhood precincts where
registration will be open during five
week ends prior to March 81. If the
political parties do their jobs in the
neighborhoodS, these should be ample.
We do not mean to minimize the
problem of voter apathy. Less than

Taxi Fares

The District Public Utilities Com
missions official finding that Washing
ton cabbies deserve a fare increase
comes as no surprise. Virtually everyone
who has as much as nodding acquaint-
ance with the taxi situation has reached
the same conclusion.
Nevertheless, the commission was
wise to ascertain the facts as to this at
the outset Of its deliberations. For while
there is severe disparity between the
average hourly earnings from cab driv-
ing and from other occupations in
Washington requiring similar SkillS, the
gap turns out to be narrower than the
industry had claimed. AS determined by
the commission staff, for example, the
average net revenue to cabbieS (after
deducting the cost of operating their
cabs), is $1.65 an hour. The range of
earnings in other jobs requiring COM
parable SkillS is from $21O to S277 an
hour.
This sort of information is vital, of
course, as a guide in determining the
degree of fare adjustment which would
of view. The means of actually making
such an adjustment, however, are al
most infinitely varied And it is the
public interest, apart from the hackers,
which the commission will have to keep
uppermoSt in mind in seeking the right
one.
The P. U. c. traditionally has Steered
clear of taxi meters, prompted largely
by words of Encouragement from Con-
gress. Politics aside, we applaud that
attitude wholeheartedly. Washington
has managed to struggle along admir-
ably without these gadgets in the past
At the same time, there are obvious
inequitieS in the present zone-fare SyS-
tenn, which should be the starting point,
at least, of the commissions search for
a solution more nearly fair to both driv-
erS and their passengers.

Pleasing Gesture

A recent item in The Star
which was most pleasing to
me, reported that several Of
our local Jewish friends had
volunteered to take over
some community services on
Christmas Day so as to free
the regular employees to spend
the day at home with their
families. Hospitals and the
U. S. o. were specifically
mentioned. Obviously this
was evidence of good will
that those Hebrews enter
tanned toward those who
were not fellow religionists
and I say their actions are
to be commended. I am sure
those who were directly bene-
fitted were duly thankful for
their graciousness.

Amps

1t is good to see that the Air Force
is turning away from the Inflated BIO
bomber concept and exploring another
proposed aircraft.
The BIO looked like a good idea
when General LeMay first proposed it
nine years ago. But since then the
nature of war has changed, the cost of
a fleet of the planes has scared and the
potential wartime mission of the BIO
has diminished. The first of three pro-
totypeS is still to be flown. The Air Force
may test only the first two, scrap
the third and then abandon the whole
project.
This need not be the end Of the
bomber, however. We still have the B-52
and B-58, and there is no reason known
to the Air Force why they won't be
effective we'll into the 1970s.
Also, there is the Advanced Manned
Precision Strike System, pronounced
Amps" by the Air Force and bomber"
by the public.
The Amps concept was pushed onto
the Air Force by Secretary of Defense
Mcnamara year ago when he decided
that the BIO had no future but that
balliStic missiles could not fight a war
alone. Mr.. Mcnamara told the Air Force
to explore the possibility of developing
a plane that would go into action after
the first big missile exchange, seek out
surviving enemy weapons, destroy them
and fly over the enemy'S territory Just
to show him that the United States
was in control.
Amps is still just an idea. The first
Air Force proposal for an Amps has not
yet been approved by the Pentagon's
civilian bosses. 1t may never be ap-
proved; the future problem of penetrat-
ing the enemy'S defenses and finding
targets may not be Solvable for price
that the public can reasonably be asked
to pay.
The Air Force believes it is on the
right track, however, with versatile
plane that can, on paper, fly fast and
slow and high and low, cruise for many
hours, search out targets with radar,
radio, and infra-red devices and destroy
them with missiles.
This country'S defenseS will need
the fleXibility of bombers through the
forSeeable future. The Air Force should
pursue the Amps idea until a successor
to present bomberS is assured or the
whole idea becomes clearly infeasible.

100 Years Ago

Although the end Of the
Civil War was still more than
a year away, 1t was becoming
increasingly evident at this
time a century ago that the
South was doomed to defeat.
The Star Of December 81,
1868, quoted two European
correspondents covering the
conflict In this country to
bear out the conviction that
the days Of the rebellion"
were numbered: "The Lon
don Times has q CORE
spondent In Richmond and
one in New York. Both speak
of the condition and hopes Of
the rebels. Both are noto-
riously favorable to the rebel
cause. Both bear testimony,
though in different ways, to
the proStration and exhaus-
ton Of the rebels. The Rich
mond correspondent, reveals,
unintentionally, the feelings
of the rebels in their capital:
The enemy, with as much
pertinacity, and far more
Sagacity than heretofore,
hens in the edges of the re-
bellion on every side, avoids
the frequent recurrence Of
pitched battles and general
engagements, pounces with
hawk-like Swoop upon iSolat-
ed and inadequately support
ed bodies of men, evinceS
possession of admirable Sc
cret information, keeps the
Confederate generals con-
Stantly on the rack, and,
harassed by eruptions of cav
airy, makes his superiority
of numbers, and still more,
his abundance of supplies for
horse and man, more and
more felt, and finally he is
investing the ports of Seces-
Sia with a Gordon of vessels
so numerous as for the first
time in 80 months to make
access to the Confederate
coast really dangerous and
difficult. On the other hand,
in rebeldom itself, the FEEDER
ais have a powerful ally in
circumstances which :.
have from the beginning

your recent editorial,
Goodbye, Columbus s"-deal-

gestion promoting parades
was fully appreciated by
this daily visitor to Man
haitian. Merely for the sake
OF appeasing a minority, the
convenience and legitimate
business activities of the
city's vast majority are
continually being sacrificed.
Especially in need of
further scrutiny, as you point
out, is the special interest
aspect of parades commence
rating the accomplishments
scored by various Europeans
of the past. 1t is not without
significance, though, that
only those heroes who hap
pen to have large blocs of
compatriots in residence
achieve recognition. While
Germans are permitted
publicly to revere Steuben,
are the French allotted a day
on which they can honor
Lafayette? The answer, of
course, is that the pressure
of mum bers determines
whether or not Fifth avenue
is awarded as a parade
ground.
The proposal Is sometimes
made that such festivity be
restricted to Sunday. What is
overlooked is the unfairneSS
to worShipers at churches
located in the vicinity of the

designated as the staging

divine service by car were
obliged to park at great
distances from their destina-

they sometimes are, have
become an anachronism in
the highly mobile metropo-
