TIONG AGO there was comment in these columns
on the spols system. which is in effect yerywhere IN the
Democratic world. The dangers of carrying it to extremes
were pointed out, and the position was taken here that the
complete exercise of such a system could be. unfortunate III
these parts. These were not idle. statements. Within a rela-
tiveiy short time the ill effects of blind adherence to such a
system have become apparent.
THESE ISLANDS are small, they have a small popula-
ton. and there are limitations in many areas. We 90 not have
an abundance of trained personnel in each and every area OF
public service Perhaps the day will come when we can reach
out in any direction and. gather highly trained people, but
that time is not here yet. This means that wholesale displace-
ments of citizens purely on the basis OF political utilization is
not only unwise, but dangerous to the social, economic, and
political Life of these Islands.
81 q THERE IS another side to this matter of rewardng
the faithful to the party. Carried to the extreme, there will
result an underlying fear which can tend to destroy the dem
occratic process. Things can get to the place where there simply
is no minority party, where everybody, in order to save their
skin will promptly become a member Of the majority. Nor is
this a~nythngsto dismiss. lie happens all the time First, there
is the subtle, inde6nable pressure coming IN small doses. Then
there is the larger, more serious squeeze, and finally, a job
classification is either changed, or a certain job IS diScontrl-
ued,a and before we know it those who are brave enought to
stand their ground find themselves without work.
ALL OF THESE attitudes and changes come slowly, in
small almost unnoticeable bits, but they come nevertheless.
And therein hes the dangers of which we. speak.

All Charges Against I
Dropped in 81 Death

One of five Arlingtonians in
volved in the death of a Fort
Belvoir soldier last June 10
today was freed on all charges
at his trial in United States
District Court.
Judge Richmond B. Keech
directed an acquittal in the
case of Thomas A. Green, %,
of the 2100 block of South Mel
son street, who had been
charged with manslaughter
and two counts of assault.
Judge Keech said Mr.. Green's
involvement was so slight the
jury would have to base a YER
dict on speculation.
The case involved the death
of Pvt. Edward J. Betcher, 10,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, who died
from a ruptured heart after
being run over by a car al
legedly driven by another de-
PENDANT. His death followed a
fight between the defendants,
Pvt. Betcher and two of his
soldier companions.
Judge Keech used the same
reasoning for striking other
counts in the indictment
against Leon billiard, jr., of

The compromise proposal fol

is "a good one," Mr.. Wirth said.
The park and planning COM
mission proposal calls for a
four-lane freeway which might
later be extended to be a six
lane freeway, from Western
Maryland to the District line.
The feasibility study said
that in the area from which
traffic is expected to be drawn"
the population in 1860 was
114,964 persons. In 1880, this
area is expected to have 232,-
600 persons, and in the year
1000, the area is expected to
have 323,996 persons, the study
said.
The Study estimates costs for
the freeway would include $6.3
million for construction, $780,
900 for emergencies and SAL
million for right of way. This
total of over $11 million would
be only for the Maryland por-
ton. and the District would
have much higher costs.

lation which brought the most
groans" at a recent meeting
when university officials ex-
planned plans for use of the new
dormitory, according to the
Hatchet, campus newspaper.
The Ratchet took a rather
good-natured attitude, however
probably since the new rule
was explained mainly as a move
to make efficient use of new
quarters rather than as a
breakdown on students such as
at the University of Maryland
recently.
Maryland's dean of women,
Miss Helen E. Clark, announced

DR.. Cameron also made it
clear that even if current and
long-range Improvements were
made, the subcommittee should
not expect an end to all eS-
capes.
Prerequisite
A prerequisite for the return
of most patients to the COM
munity is their ability to as
sumo responsibility for their
own actions, he said.
This cannot be accomplished
in a sudden and dramatic man
ner, but only through treat
ment and rehabilitation pro-
grams carried out over a period
of time, DR.. Cameron explained.
He said:
In such a process, the staff
is called upon to make human
value judgments =. such judg-
mentS are quite difficult in
connection with normal people
and much more difficult with
the mentally ILL.,"
No matter what improve

if not impoSSibility, of making
correct judgments in all in

Auto Claims
DeficitLuid
ToCredit

BALTIMORE, Nov. IL
(AP).-A Motor Vehicles De-
partment official has blamed
time payment automobile in
surance policies for part of
the So million deficit in the
dissatisfied Claim and Judg-
ment Fund.
Maryland law requires that
before motorists can get their
tags they must either carry LA
bility insurance or pay $40 into
the claims fund. The fund is
then used to reimburse drivers
in accidents with un-
motorists.
Many persons start an auto
liability insurance policy
with a $40 down payment and
then let the policy lapse after
they get their license plates,
John H. Calhoun, manager of
the claims fund, said.
"At least 10 per cent of the
10000 to $4,000 people each
month whose insurance is can
celed or terminated have NO
intention of buying new insur-
ance or paying the $40 unin-
sured motorist fee," Mr.. Cal
houn said.
Mr.. Calhoun estimated that
there are about $4,000 persons
driving without insurance, but
only 1000 of these had paid
the $40.
THE Department of Motor
Vehicles is notified when insur-
ance is Cancelled, but the num-
Der of lapSed policies makes il
almost impossible to repossess
the plates as fast as the owners
hecome uninsured" Mr.. CAL
houn said.
1.-THE fund has a deficit of
about So million despite an al
most 10-fold increase in the fee
since the funds inception in
1857" he said.
