Living Dangerously

Your March q editorial,
Living Dangerously" really
calls a spade a spade. Wash
ington. D. c. has made prog
ress in every area except
crime prevention. Here. as
you point out, we have re-
crossed. We can thank our
soft-hearted judiciary and
soft-headed psychiatrists for
contributing greatly to this
condition.
Twice in the past two
months robber-rapists were
convicted Of a lesser robbery
charge and absolved Of helm
Gus rape charges by reason
Of insanity. If this trend con-
tinues, we may well have the
explosion" that Bobby Ken
nedy speaks Of, but 1t will
come from the law-abiding
citizens and not the hardened
criminals for whom his
heart bleeds.
Incidentally. that was an
excellent picture of the top
law enforcement officer In
the land standing with his
finger In his mouth.

Saturn Comes of Age

1t is highly encouraging that Saturn
has once again made virtually perfect
flight, this time even with one Of its
eight engines deliberately cut off. The
great vehicle, with thruSt-power of 1.3
million pounds, has performed beauti-
fully ever since its testing began two
years ago. AS a result, the American
people have reason for confidence that
their country's weight-lifting rocket
power is rapidly catching up with
Russia's, and conceivably may already
be moving ahead.
At any rate, Saturn rs latest
achievement is the fourth such success
(there have been no failureS) in the
missiles tests to date. The Soviets, Of
course, are not standing still in this field,
and 1t may be that they are developing
something bigger and better. However,
Just as in the case of military ballistic
rockets, there is plenty Of ground for
doubt that the Russians can or will beat
us in the spatial race, including the race
to the moon.
Saturn I, the biggest rocket now
being tested by the United States, is to
be launched on six more research and
development flights. Although not cap
able Of placing men on the moon, 1t will
play key role in readying the three
man Apollo spacecraft for lunar land
ing. Late next year, for example, 1t
should be capable Of flight-testing that
craft. And by 1865, according to the
National AeronauticS and Space Admin
istration, it Should be ready to place
the manned Apollo into earth orbit for
extended flights of up to two weeks"
Meanwhile, as the newer versions Of
Saturn I come into being-including
near-future one capable Of DRIFTING
payload of $4,000 poundS-work will 60
forward on Saturn v. This vehicle, now
in its early stages of development, will
be the rocket used to send the Apollo
Spacecraft to the moon. 1t will have
firSt-stage horsepower Of rs million
pounds, or five times that of the present
Saturn I. 1t will be able to place 100
ton craft In low earth orbit or send a As
ton ship with humans aboard) on a
lunar landing.
This seemingly fantastic undertake
ing, according to some expert calcula-
tions, should become a reality in 1853
70, or Whereabouts, at cost of between
$20-$40 billion to American taxpayers.
Needless to say, lot of us will not be
around to Judge the soundness of the
forecast when and If it materializes.
The thing we can be sure of, though,
as Saturn's latest performance shows,
is that man is no longer earth-bound,
that he is on the go from terra firma
to everywhere in the awesome firma-
ment around us, and that nothing will
ever be the same again in life.

existence sufficient legisla-
ton to jail every gun-toting

islation we're the answer. OBJ
viously 1t is not. Criminals
will not apply for permits to
possess a pistol, and they will
not surrender their pistols
because a law is passed max
ing possession illegal.
This is not to deny, how
ever, that mail-order pistol
traffic should be regulated,
and that a properly admin
istered purchase permit law
would fill at least this need.
A model purchase permit
law should provide for auto
matte rejection Of any appli-
cant convicted Of a crime Of
violence, or whose record re-
veals alcoholism, narcotics,
addiction, or mental instabil-
ity. All other applicants
would be automatically ap-
proved, unless police can
satisfy the judge Of a court
OF record that there is suf-
ficient reason for rejection
Of a particular person.
In any case, authority to
approve or reject applications
should rest not with police,
but with a designated court,
in the same way that can
cealed weapon permits are
now handled in most States.

Sob Story

We doubt that there will be any
great sympathy with Defense Secretary
McNamaras determination to collar the
culprit who leaked" to this newspaper
a very damaging" Air Force memoran-
dun on the Tx airplane investigation.
Turning his best investigators to
the scent, Mr.. Mcnamara expressed
diSmay over disclosure Of the document
he had done everything possible to
bottle up" including locking up one
copy in his office safe.
Upon re-reading Il, we have no
doubt the Secretary took all these pre-
cautions and more to keep the paper
under wraps. AS he said, 1t did nothing
at all to improve the already sour rela-
lions between the Pentagon and the
Senate Investigations Subcommittee.
But we suspect II did even less TO
build up the Air Force image as one Of
strength and staying power. Three Air
Force representatives, the memo laments,
we're so badly used by Subcommittee
investigators that, after hours OF grilllng,
one suffered recurring ulcers and the
others were deeply fatigued.
1t probably was pretty taxing time
for all concerned, but we don't know OF
any law that prevented the Air Force
men from walking away. And we know
plenty Of people who come down with
ulcers every day-with no inquisition
TO blame II on.

Too Many Bodyguords?

Any way they are explained or de-
ployed, IS body guards add up to quite
a formidable force when assigned to
protect the popular Vice President of
the United States. Even some Of the
most high-handed dictators of recent
memory managed to get by with fewer.
To keep the record straight, 1t was
the Secret Service, not the Vice PreSi-
dent, that requested Congress to APP
prove this squadron. Under law passed
last year, but earlier introduced in the
Eisenhower administration, the Secret
Service was authorized" to protect the
v. P. around the clock To the thorough
going Secret Service and its chief, James
J. Rowley, authorization is spelled ere
sponsibility."
AS that agency sees it, IS agents
and clerk to keep books on them, are
the smallest practical number consistent
with doing good job. Any impression
that the v. P. would constantly be
surrounded by an armed platoon is, Of
course, ridiculous. Three 8-hour shifts,
week ends, annual leave, etc., figure
into the manpower demand. In fact,
four men are the most who normally
would be on any assignment.
Yet it is not surprising that some
members Of Congress are finding 1t
hard to see the sudden need for small
army on an assignment until recently
usually handled by two men. Vice Presi-
dent Johnson also is disturbed. If he
had his way, he would try to get along
with two Tor less). Adequate protection
is necessary and desirable for every
Vice President But what one Of them,
especially Texan, wants to be pro-
tected by a posse2

Housing Discrimination

g 1t is doubtful, in our judgment, that
any legislation will finally emerge from
the Corporation Counsel's promise to
submit to a House District subcom-
mittee bill dealing with housing dis
elimination in Washington. For we do
not think that bill which either bans
discrimination or forbids the District
Commissioners to outlaw 1t can get
through Congress.
This does not necessarily mean,
however, that no useful purpose will
be-, served by submitting a bill. The
Commissioners have been advised by
Corporation Counsel Gray that they
can issue housing regulations under
police powers" deriving from an 1892
congressional resolution. Whether this
Is correct or not is something which
doubtless will be tested in the courts
one Of these days. Meanwhile, there
has been great deal of turmoil and
apprehension over the form and scope
Of the Commissioners regulations-if
and when they are issued. This is
a situation which should be clarified
when Mr.. Gray submits his bill. For
while there was some hedging at the
recent subcommittee hearing as to
whether the Corporation Counsel would
be acting for himself or for his superiors,
who are the Commissioners, we doubt
that the latter would issue regulations
at some future time which would be
more drastic than the provisions of
Mr.. Gray's bill.
The Commissioners, of course, are
under political pressure from the ad-
miniStration in this matter. They can
not simply do nothing. If Congress fails
to act, the Commissioners willard
they would then be in better position
to do so. 1t is also undoubtedly true,
however, that the issuance of housing
regulations as sweeping as some Of
those which have been talked about
would have a severe impact on this
community. The step is not one to be
taken lightly under an assumed au-
thority from a 71-year-old enactment
by legislators who have long since gone
to their reward and who certainly could
not have foreseen conditions in the
Washington of 1868.
Consequently, we think that the
subcommittee had ample authority to
request submission of a bill and we
also believe 1t is desirable that this be
done. The Commissioners, it is true,
have said that a public hearing would
be held prior to PRONUNCIATION Of any
regulations. But we do not know when
this would be done or what the nature
Of the hearing might be. There has
already been too much secrecy in a
matter of this Importance. We think
the real intentions of the Commits
Soners should be brought into the open
for public airing-and the sooner the
better

Sour News Note

After reading the article
concerning the Punishment
OF the National Symphony
from the State Department
Auditorium. / felt compelled
TO voice a protest.
Once again, such action is
another preventative measure
by governmental red tape,
toward the promotion Of cul-
ture and the fine arts in this
city.
The National Symphony is
in enough trouble as IL is with
It's tremendous debt, and its
musicians and staff are sorely
underpaid and overworked.
Then for the State Depart
ment 10 turn around and give
II another slap In the face
is inexcusable.
II is only through the gen.
crosby OF such people like
Mrs. May. that this symphony
can perform for the young
people who visit Washington.
For most children, this is the
first time they have ever
heard an orchestra, and for
many II might be the last,
10 II is important that the
symphony makes an out
standing impression upon
them.
! hope that music-loyers OF
this city and It's surrounding
areas will protest this often
sive action leyeled against
the National Symphony by
forces ignorant OF the fact
that through these concerts a
great deal Of good will and
appreciation for the fine arts
Is propaRated.

The refusal of the United States
Court Of Appeals to reduce Washington's
cash bus fare to 20 cents is understand
able, even though the court already has
invalidated the 1860 order of the District
Public Utilities Commission which first
increased the fare to Is cents. For the
problem is that the ascent fare again
was authorized by the P. u. G. in 1861,
presumably on the basis of an entirely
different set of facts. And while the
1861 action also is now under attack in
a lower court, the appellate judges have
not had an opportunity themselves to
evaluate the merits Of that authorization.
Under the circumstances, there is
very little that anyone can do but wait,
and perhaps to contemplate, as Judge
Sicily Wright has done in a concurring
decision, the historically unhappy ex-
periences of the bus riders Of the Nations
Capital" More In sorrow than anger,
Judge Wright deplores the entire situa-
ton In these words: Because Of the
laws delay and doubt as to the courts
Jurisdiction to go further at this time,
u appears that all the company the
D. c. Transit systeml need do TO con-
tInue TO collect these fares, and perhaps
Increased ones, in spite Of the rulings
d this court, is to keep commission
order ahead of u.s."
Presumably the Judge is thinking
only OF the present and the immediate
future In his reference TO "the laws
delay" We submit that the real crux Of
the problem, however, is that this case
HAS been allowed TO drag on In the courts
fpr nearly three years already. Had II
been adjudicated promptly, the Ills Of
which Judge Wright Justly complains
now would not have occurred. How much
more time will elapse before the "un-

regarding Washington's crime
rate and our young visitors,
should bring to the atten-
ton Of Westinghouse the
pressing need Of a Visiting
Teen Center.
Though $4,000 teen-agers
that visit the Nations Capt.
tai each year account for
only one-fourteenth Of our
total tourists, their effect on
our vital tourist trade in the
immediate and far future
can be tremendous. The re-
port Of the trip that a young
ster will take home, could very
well determine whether or not
his parents, family and neigh
bors will visit Washington
this year or in the future.
The memory Of that trip
could determine, 20 years
from now, where that young
ster will take his family on
vacation.
We must keep these boys
and girls from becoming VIC
Tins Of the Districts crime

sure that they have a most
enjoyable tour Of our beau
tiful city. A mugging Of q

What will help and is vi

Center where the youth can
gather at night, have a soft

most important, twist" till

If used only for out-of- town
teens and properly managed
and controlled, / am con-
fident that the center would
receive the support of every
one concerned, and would
become a major factor in
preventing a potential loss Of
