Chairman John L. McMil-
Ian Of the House District
Committee has recently rec
ognized that the only long
term solution for the Dis
trict is an adequate Federal
payment, unrelated to any
formula other than actual
need. At the recent joint
hearings before subccmmit-
tees Of the House and
Senate District Committee,
Congressman Mcmillan said:
ANY cost for the opera
ton Of the District Of Co
lumbia which exceeds the
tax revenues derived from
reasonable local taxes, u an
obligation Of the citizens Of
the rest Of the Nation to be
provided for by the Congress. I"
District taxpayers are now
paying more than their fair
share Of the costs Of main
tanning the District as the
permanent seat Of the Ma
tional Government. D. c.
budget and tax policies
should stimulate an inflow
Of new businesses and tax
payers TO the District. rather
than aggravating an OUT
flow Of taxpayers and bust
nesses to the suburbs.
We pay unemployment
compensation to $4,000 per-
sons every week who are
ready, willing and able To
work but have no suitable
Job opportunity. Increasing
business and real estate
taxes viii not solve our EN-
ployment problem. Congress
should reject President Ken
nedy's Federal payment
formula and tax increase
proposals, and accept Con-
gresham McMillan's formula
for measuring the Federal
payment by actual need.

the District for q Job well
done. This includes the White
House Police, Park Police,
Metropolitan Police and the
Federal Bureau Of Investi-

Recently three major events
occurred In our city, each
fraught with possible explo-

terry.
I have lived, and assumed
some leadership role, in WASH
ington for IL years. During
this time I have not witnessed
such corporation and eff
cheney. Throughout the entire
course Of events 1t was evil
dent that each officer and
member Of the forces named
had the peace and tranquil
lily Of our city at heart. Their
conduct was exemplary and
to be envied by any police
force In our Nation.
1t has been my position
that much is to be desired in
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment as to promotion and
assignment Of officers with
out regard to race. While this
position has not changed and
! believe there Is much room
for improvement In these
areas, ! must, nevertheless,
commend the Metropolitan
Police Department for a Job
creditably done in these in
stances.
Ever since the funeral I
have needed personal service
from the police in view of
threats to my life, my home
and my church. The depart
Tnent. and especially the Of
ficers and men Of Precincts 2
and 10. under Capt. James
Stargel and Capt. Albert B.
Clarke, respectively, have
been most cooperative. They
have performed their duties
In q manner to give US assur-
ance Of their watchfuluess
without becoming too obvious.
For this the church and I are
grateful.
These events did not bring
me into contact with Police
Chief Robert v. Murray, hut
he Is to be commended for
the excellent performance Of
Deputy Chiefs Howard Covell
and George Wallrodt.
With a sincere hope that
America and her people will
steadily move forward toward
the day when such attention
is not necessary because Of

THE PASSING SCENE
Ribicoff's Decency on Rights

The little noticed words Of
Q freshman Senator. uttered
ct the very beginning Of the
Senate's long debate on civil
rights, may at the end Of
that debate many months
from now still represent some
Of It's finest moments.
For Senator Abraham Ribi-
coff Of Connecticut has made
9 contribution Of memorable
decency and common sense TO
what should be q high nation
al dialogue Of self-restraint
and responsibility. This
national problem needs not
the screams Of demagogues
but the sober consideration Of
self-controlled men honestly
In search Of fair and sensible
solutions.

entire package" Of the Presi-
dents civil rights bills, some

tive position almost certainly
win be--and In this colura.
Ilist's opinion ought to be-
rejected In the end by the
Senate. But the whole spirit
Of what he has said is the
whole spirit Of decent-minded
debate which this country
cannot abandon without ter.
rible and irreparable loss.
Nor can the courage Of his
initial speech on this great
and harsh issue be denied.
This is q man who Is himself
Q member Of @ minority
group. His Jewish faith has
surely not made him fortunes
favorite In the long climb to
success In the House Of Rep
resentatives, In the Kennedy
cabinet as Secretary Of
Health, Education and well
fare, and now as a Senator
from an urban and heavily
minority-group State.
From that State and from
that background it would be
far easier and safer for
Abraham Ribicoff to do what
most Of the other liberal,
urban State Senators are do
ing-that is. to have no criti-
cism Of any and all Negro
demonstrations and pressures
and nothing but condemns
ton for all white counter
pressures.

generating another verbal
clash between road and rail
supporters. The dispute Is
partly over values, hence In
soluble: what kind Of society
do we want. how minority
views should be weighted In
public decisions. But it Is
partly over facts. and could
be settled by facing, not
Judging, the full costs Of
competing alternatives. Cost
oversiehts are matched by
Surrealism In estimating
benefits.
A relatively low-density
road traffic system has rela-
lively low fixed public costs
and limited scale economies.
It should be used off-peak,

Monies Of scale and intensity.
In . growing Washington this
logical relation is also neces-
sary. For roads, whatever ex-
allied names may anoint
them, are space-hogs. And
surface space In the central
city Is fixed, and at q pre-
MUM. Rail transit requires
little central city surface
space, and II underground,
none ct all. Roads preempt
much downtown space for
parking, whereas rail transit
land buses) does not.
The assertion that cars viii
handle q major part Of down.
town peak traffic in 1880 Is
logically impossible, unless
height limitations on build
ings are eliminated, permit
ting more road space, more
parking space, and commen-
surate increases in floor
space. The core issue Is: do
We keep building height
limitations, or build sky
scrapers?
From the suburban stand
point, the core issues are
neither costs nor logic, but
values. Committing highways
encourage single function,
low-intensity use of space
They eat up leisure by In
creasing committing time and
by separating other urban
functions from each other in
space. They stratify urban
society. with the car-rich and
the car-snobs In their dis
tant suburbs, and the poor
and car-poor crowded in
downtown fringes and along
cheap mass-transit facilities.
This means, among other
things. residential se0rena-
ton by race.
The permissive philosophy,
that we must satisfy all "trip
desires" irrespective OF costs,
alternatives, or consequences
for community life, Is fright
fully immature. Everyone
wants instantaneous and
costless personal transport

desires" Of autophiles anc
