Doctor Village Group
Tries Again for Zoning

For the third time in six
years a group of Alexandria
doctors will attempt to obtain
| zoning law revision next
month to permit construction
Of a 100000 doctors village"
adjacent to the new Alexandria
Hospital.
And, as in the past, the con-
struction is opposed by num-
Der Of neighbors Of the pro-
posed ll12-acre village.
Under the plan, the profess
sional community would con-
sist Of 20 buildings, with each
l12-story unit providing two
offices for doctors or dentists.
The 40 medical tenants would
be associated with Alexandria
Hospital.
On February 5. the doctors
will ask the Planning Commits
sion to adopt a coming amend
ment TO allow, under certain
conditions, construction of
medical offices in an RIO
zone, the classification Of the
village site.
longtime objectors to the
proposal who are expected to
appear at the hearing include
members Of the Seminary Hill
Association, who fear the Of
fices might attract other COM
mercial activities and mar the
residential character of the
peighborhood. One civic group
outside the Seminary area, the
North Ridge Citizens ASsocia-
ton, has Endorsed the plan as
2 "forward-looking project"
The village was first pro-
posed in 1857, but a question
was raised about the legality of
the amendments phraseology
and the plan was tabled by the
Planning Commission.
The proposal was revived last
March in a form which would
have permitted construction of
medical offices in almost any
residential area. After heated
public hearings, the commits
sion and city council rejected
the proposal.
The newest proposal stipu-
lates that sites for medical Of

aligned countries that represent only
questionable influence in the context of
big-power struggle. Aside from the
iSland-country of Ceylon itself, two of
the bloc are relatively weak Southeast
Asian countries-Burma and Cambodia
- another is Indonesia, which more
often than not displays sympathy for
Communist causes, and the two others
-Ghana and the United Arab Re-
public-are far removed from the area
of struggle. .-.
AS practical matter, the interven-
ton of this bloc-decided upon after a
meeting in Colombo last month - is
likely to have effect only If it suits the
hypocritical design of Peking to seem
reasonable. For their part, the Red Chi
neSe launched their aggression for rea-
sons Of their own-and ones that never
were thoroughly clear to the outside
world - and presumably accomplished
their purpose. At least, they defeated
the Indians militarily and established
their hold on areas that they wanted.
Their ceasefire gesture and expressed
willingness to negotiate have involved
matters Of less consequence.
With all this, If the Colombo for
mula-now approved by the Indian Par
lament and awaiting Peking's reaction
can settle the India-C China conflict,
so much the better. The world and the
new year could do with one "crisis"
scratched.

Comeback of the Year

With the new year barely under
way, Gen. Douglas Macarthur already
has established himself as a prime
candidate for the comeback -of-the-year
award. At 81, the hero of three wars
had every reason to believe he had
earned a peaceful retirement. But when
President Kennedy called him to arbi-
trate the AAU-NCAA imbroglio, it was
like bugle call to charge.
AS was freely predicted, Gen. Mac
Arthur combined tact, common sense
and a bit Of head-knocking to bring
the feuding athletic powers to their
senses. The compromise he worked out
not only restores peace Immediately,
thus assuring continuation of the winter
track games, but more Importantly, sets
the props for the greatest United States
effort in next years Olympic Games.
Wisely looking ahead, the General
also agreed TO personally resolve any
dispute arising before the Olympics,
and suggested the convocation Of an
athletic congress after the big games
to ensure a continued, united effort.
AS a result Of this making, the
United States should pack off many a
gold medal from the olympiad turf.
And the biggest, shiniest Of all should
be reserved for General Mac.

School ReopproisoI

Montgomery School Superintendent
Whittier makes the point, with complete
accuracy, that the newly elected major
ity members of the County School Board,
who are not entirely familiar with the
school system, are disrupting the smooth
continuity Of his program. Understand
ably, this is not to his liking. What the
superintendent neglectS to add, however,
is the simple fact that the board mem
bers now in control were elected explic-
lily on platforms of vigorous criticism
OF past school policies and adminiStra-
ton. The controversial second looks"
now being taken at school expenditures
are, in short, nothing more than the
voters bargained for-and there is no
occasion for surprise If this process
should require a reasonable amount of
time.
A case in point is the current hassle
over appropriations for a second county
junior college at Rockville. Members of
the controlling economy bloc" on the
School Board insist that they are not
opposed to the concept Of tax-supported
junior colleges. They say they are con-
cerned, however, about some of the pol
icieS now prevailing at the existing jun
ior college IN Takoma Park, and that
they want to appraise certain "com-
plants" which are in their possession
before voting on the expansion funds.
II there is real substance to these
complaints, then of course the position
Of the majority members is justified.
Thus far, however, they have spoken
publicly only in the most general terms
about such matters as entrance require
ments and the scholastic achievements
OF students at the Takoma Park school.
They would be on much firmer ground
II they would make public the precise
questions which are bothering them, and
which they want answered by the pro-
posed "reappraiSal."
Moreover, Board President Charles
W. Bell has been rightly criticized for
suggesting that the investigating COM
mittee should be composed entirely OF
board members who question the current
program. The issue is sufficiently i'm
portant to the county, and especially to
It's growing numbers Of young high
school graduates, to warrant examina-
tion by the board as a whole. II that is
not possible, the "reappraisal" commit
tee at least should represent the diver
gent viewpoints on the board, to assure
that its findings will be accepted as fac
tual and impartial.
Finally, 1t is well that Mr.. Bell has
revised his original estimate that the
initial "reappraisal" should take about
five months, and has promised to expe-
dite 1t. Once the facts are established,
a decision as to whether to proceed
with the junior college program as pres
emily planned, or to seek some different
goal, should be easy to reach.

Montgomery Thrift

I find 1t hard to accept
that the Montgomery County
Council which was elected on
an economy campaign pledge
should Immediately add to
the county personnel by hir-
ing a budget analyst at $685.
900 per year.
Not only should such a per-
son not be hired but the SAL
ary being paid is exorbitant.
The salary of $25,000 would
do credit to the so-called
spenders in their widest
moments. This is the tax
payers money they are hand
ing out and I consider the
paying out of such a sum as
scandalous.
The County Council should
do the work which is being
assigned to this individual.
The council members ran on
the economy platform so they
should have enough imagina-
ton and intelligence to de-
eide where economy should
begin. The job of economizing
should not be sloughed off on
a non elected, exorbitantly
overpaid person.
If appointing a budget an
lyst at $4,000 a year is the
best that we can expect from
an economy campaign pledge,
the future looks dreary indeed
for Montgomery County.

Mid Cheer for G. 0. P.

With California's emergence as the
Nations biggest State population-wise,
its political affections have become COM
parably more important to both national
parties. So it is that the Republicans
have modest reason for cheer in the
results of the first special election since
last November-a contest to fill the con-
greSSional seat of the late Representa-
tive Clem Miller, Democrat. The winner,
and by good 14,000-vote margin, was
Republican Don ClauSen.
Although Mr.. ClauSen's victory gives
the g. o. P. only a 14th seat in Califor-
MAS 38-member delegation to the House,
the campaign efforts of both parties
indicated the Importance they attached
to this test Of voter sentiment. The
Democrats. who have the edge in both
State and district registration as well as
in holding the majority of California's
elective offices, brought in some national
speakers, including Secretary of Interior
Udall. The Republicans concentrated on
tactics that often have brought Demo-
cratic victories elsewhere-hard work at
door-to-door solicitation, transportation
to the polling places and so forth.
For several years past the political
tides in California have been running in
Democratic favor. Last November only
two Statewide offices were carried by
Republicans, and the defeat Of former
Vice President Richard Nixon for the
governorShip, although not really an
upset, stirred the G. o. p to reapprais-
al Of its StrategieS and organization The
result in one congressional district falls
far short of big comeback, but it is
movement in the right direction from
the Republican point Of view.

Bigger PoIuris Shield

ObsoleScence Is yielding to modern
ization in the negotiations now under
way to bring about the withdrawal of
our Jupiter nuclear missiles from Italy
and Turkey. These weapons, all above
ground, have long since become acutely
vulnerable to Soviet attack, and they
are therefore no longer the deterrents
they used to be.
The Kremlin accordingly has little
reason to rejoice in Jupiter's phasing
out. For the seaborne Polaris-an in
comparably better and far more power
ful missiles to take its place. Carried
aboard our nuclear submarines in the
Mediterranean Git can be fired also from
land and from surface veSsels), this
truly formidable solid-fuel weapon will
add greatly to Italian and Turkish Sc
curity, as well as to the overall defen-
sive strength Of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
This strengthening process, however,
Will not be attributable to any specific
act by Italy and Turkey, except to the
extent that they will be cooperating
with us. as NATO allies, in the substitu-
ton Of the PolariS system for the out
moded JupiterS. Actually, in a sense, the
withdrawal Of the latter from their soil
will relieve them of certain risks they
have accepted, forthrightly, and coura-
geouSly, for years past. Nevertheless,
though they thus will have to reckon
with fewer hazards, their defensive pos
ture, together with that Of NATO as a
whole, will be substantially improved as
a result of the missile replacement and
the deployment Of our nuclear Subma-
rineS in the Mediterranean-assu
that this actually is done.
It is possible that the current nego-
tfationS will lead to an agreement under
which limited number Of Italians and
Turks would work with our crews aboard
these great craft, but all controls, weap-
ons custody and command decisions
doubtless would be wholly American. AS
for Britain, since it is to build its own
atomic subs and the warheadS for the
Polaris, its position will be different
from Italy's and Turkeys, but 1t will
collaborate closely with the United
States, the key power, in a multinational
NATO nuclear force-an arrangement
that has thus far been rejected by
Frances President de Gaulle.
This French negativism threatens
to beset the alliance with great diff
cultieS. Yet, despite that, the substitu-
ton Of the Polaris for the Thor in Brit
ain and the Jupiter in Italy and Turkey
will add significantly to the safety of
the Western world. Free men everywhere
have reason at least to hail this prospect.

Mine Union Cars

According to an Associated
Press dispatch in The Star,
the new head of the United
Mine Workers is ''Reminis-
cent Of John L. Lewis"
Mention is also made of the
fact that the recently de-
ceased president Of that
union, Thomas Kennedy, was
quiet persuader" and that
in recent years relations
between the larger mines and
the UNIV have been serene"
Quite conceivably the rec
ord Of American unionism
will apportion a major role to
Lewis but was his influence
entirely beneficial or his ef-
forts truly helpful to those he
represented While the fire.
quent work stoppages he in
stituted eliminated in more
favorable contracts and high
er wages, these disruptions
ultimately reduced available
job opportunities.
1t may be difficult to pin
point statistically the actual
number of homeowners who
abandoned coal because Of
that fuels scarcity during
constantly recurring strikes
Just prior to World War II.
Even without access to these
figures, however, the immen-
sity of the change-over was
evident at the time. Lewis's
patiently disdainful attitude
towards consumer needs was
in no small measure respon-
sible for the rapidity with
which alternatives - oil and
gas furnaces-came into gen.
eral acceptance and use.
Considering the trend, the
less spectacular procedures
Thomas Kennedy had en-
ployed probably merely have
alleviated rather than COM
pletely solved the problems
the union faces. Still. in a
situation Of this kind, 1t is to
the quiet persuader" that
we must turn II our society
is not to be torn asunder by
internally warning factions.
Let us hope his successor will
also recognize the virtues Of
moderation.
