Mrs. Roosevelt a week after
her death;
Her life was crowded,
restless, fearless. She walked
in the slums and ghettcS of
the world, not on a tour of
inspection, nor as a conde-
scending patron, but as one
who could not feel compla-

Mogic Powers?

Congressional wives are
beginning to wonder If they
have some kind of a hex on
the First Lady-any First
Lady.
Only twice in the many
years the Congressional Club
has been giving its annual
breakfast" (actually a rath-
er posh lunch) for the First
Lady has the theme been
built around the life of the
First Lady being honored.
In 1855 the theme was
Down on the Farm" built
around the fact that Army
wife Mamie Eisenhower was
about to move into her first
permanent home, the Eisen-
hower's Gettysburg farm.
This year the theme sup
posedly a deep. dark secret
is built around Mrs. Ken
nedy's life.
And both times, the lady
in question has had to pull
out of the breakfast after
all the plans we're made. Mrs.
Eisenhower became i'll a few
days before the event in 1854,
and had to cancel all activi-
ties for a while. This year
the May 2 breakfast was one
of the many events wiped off
Mrs. Kennedy's calendar
while she awaits the birth of
her third child.
Congressional wives have
no grounds for complaint,
however. In both -ases, the
First Ladies busy presiden-
tial husbands have offered to
come in their place.

A television spectacular is
In the works for this fall,
dedicated to the memory of
the late Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt, and the humanitarian
causes she espoused.
"All the talent in the world"
is available to them, say
those planning the show, be-
cause, despite some criticism
and ridicule of the former
First Lady during her globe
trotting days, "in the end,
almost everyone loved and
admired Mrs. r."
But the show will mot be
Just another talent super
spectacular" say its plan
ners. There will be some
high-class performers, but
the idea is to make the pro-
gram "meaningful," with en-
phasis on Mrs. Roosevelt her
self and the causes to which
she was dedicated.
Quality Of the show is as
sured by the close participa-
ton of Dore Schary, a Roose-
velt family friend and ad-
mirer, who wrote Sunrise at
Campobello," the very sue
cessful play about the early
life of Mrs. Roosevelt's hus-
band, the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Schary is head of a
Committee Of the Arts of the
Eleanor Roosevelt Founda-
tion. formally chartered last
week by President Kennedy
at ceremonies in the White
House rose garden.
The foundation plans to
raise $25 million in the next
year and a half to carry on
and extend Mrs. Roosevelt's
major humanitarian endeav-
ors.
The television program is
intended to wind up a four
week blitz fund drive this
fall, to be devoted particu-
larly to seeking large cam
paign contributions. The Pc
riod runs from october II,
the date Of Mrs. Roosevelt's
birth, to November 7, the date
she died.
That leaves the foundation
most Of next year to work
for smaller gifts. Final tar
get date is october IL, 1864,
which would have been Mrs.
Roosevelt's 80th birthday.
Projects of Mrs. Roose-
velt's to which the founda-
tion already has pledged sup
port are the Eleanor Roose-
welt Cancer Foundation, the
Wiltwyck School for Boys, a
demonstration project for

Miracle Druo?

Medical discoveries often have
evolved from the least likely sources.
In the manufacture of wood pulp there
is a by-product known as dimethyl
Sulfoxide. For years it has been used
as a commercial solvent in manufac-
turing processes.
Recently chemist at the Univer-
Sity Of Oregon Medical School, splitting
some Of the solution on his hands,
soon noticed sweet taste in his mouth.
The liquid had penetrated his skin and
quickly spread throughout his body.
Subsequent tests with a purified version
of the compound gave dramatic relief
from such varied ailments as head
aches, colds, SinuSitis, arthritiS and
from burns and injuries. 1t is too early
to say whether people someday will
benefit from this strangely contrived
drug, but of such accidents are miracles
made.

Erhord in Texas

There should be lots of Gemutlich-
keit when Ludwig Erhard visits the LBJ
ranch in Texas this week end. The
West German Chancellor, who looks
bit like Santa Claus without the beard,
has let 1t be known that he enjoys
informality. President Johnson enjoys
it, too. So there will be a barbecue,
among other things, and dress for the
official dinner will be business suits.
But the Chancellor and the PreSi-
dent are not meeting Just for the sake
of spending few congenial hours with
each other They will have serious talks
on a number Of serious subjects. Mr..
Erhard, for example, is said to be seek
ing reaffirmation of American policy
against recognizing East Germany or
in any way watering down the allied
position in Berlin. Mr.. Johnson, for his
part, undoubtedly will undertake to
enlist the Chancellor'S help in such
matters as efforts to disSuade General
de Gaulle from a go-it-alone French
nuclear policy and from attempts to
build high protectioniSt wall around
the Common Market.
1t seems fairly practicable that
Mr.. Erhard'S thinking on most Of the
key issues will be pretty much in line
with the Presidents. Although the
Chancellor regards the Franco-G German
alliance as vital to the future of free
Europe, he has declared for the record
that If he should ever have to choose
between France and the United States
on any basic question affecting Ger
many'S security, he would choose the
United States. AS for the European
Economic Community the Common
Market-he has repeatedly made clear
that he favors trade policy consider
ably more liberal than the one espoused
up to now by President de Gaulle.
In point Of fact, West Germany is
on a course that promises to make it
our country's most cooperative partner
in the Atlantic alliance. The impend-
ing meeting in Texas can hardly fail
to strengthen that promise.

Injudicious

Judge Andrew J. Howard, IT., of the
Districts Court Of General Sessions, has
been on the bench for IS years. He is a
Negro. He is a good man, and he has
been good Judge.
But Judge Howard was not good
Judge in case he presided over the
other day.
The merits and outcome Of this case
do not concern us here-there was an
alteration between Negro youths and
police, and some Marines pitched in on
the police side when attempts to make
an arrest resulted in a fight. What
concerns us are Judge Towards grossly
prejudicial comments during the trial.
"The police department" he informed
the jury at one point, sis mad at the
world. And the Marines are mad at the
world"
When the prosecutor protested, the
Judge undertook in his charge to apol-
ogize for any comments which might
have improperly influenced the Jury.
But he added: Never have I been so
upset In trying any case in any court
as in this case" And later: There
Is so much hate. These defendants are
full Of hate. The police officers are
burning up with hate"
Judge Howard may or may not be
correct In his diagnosis; we happen to
think the Metropolitan Police generally
are fair and decent in their racial at
tltudeS. The bench, in any event, is not
the platform for such observations
JurieS are supposed to make their deci-
sions on the basis of testimony and the
arguments Of counsel. The Judge repre-
Sents and interprets the law. No Jury
can fail to be Swayed by emotional COM
mentary from him on the facts at issue.
Whether or not Judge Howard
knows about the job of police, in short,
he exhibited on this occasion a very
poor understanding of the Job of Judge.

BOYS and Toys

You, boy: Get toy gun for Christ
mas? Did you get some soldiers2 Do
you like themP Are you feeling guilty?
Don't.
Parents, too, who may have bought
their boy a model missile base or liv-
ing-room size PolariS, on the simple
minded ground that that's what he
wanted for Christmas, are being invited
to hang their heads in shame. Learned
scholars, who have managed to unlearn
their own boyhood, are trying to hang
the rap for the Cold War, World War III,
radioactive fallout, defense spending
and vending machines in electronic
plants all on the frail shoulders of the
boy beneath the Christmas, tree playing
soldier.
This is nonsense, but it isn't new
nonsense. 1t goes back at least to World
War and more probably to the Trojan
War. The lost sayings of the original
CasSandra no doubt contain a warning
against toy war horses as leading to
trouble.
The reasoning seems to be that the
boy plays with miniature weaponry,
grows up and finds grown-up weaponry
a suitable answer to all problems. 1t
has been noted with admiration that the
Soviet Union since World War II has
produced no modern war toys at all.
This may be admirable of the SovietS,
although their own observers think Of
1t more as negligence on the part Of
the commiSSar Of toys. But 1t ought to
be noted that the absence Of toy rockets
in Moscow has not prevented the pres
ence Of real ones in Cuba. And without
the provocation Of pop-guns in the par
lor, Soviet soldiery has still contrived
to be fairly effective in Hungary and
elsewhere.
An old companion Of the nursery
theory of war, less heard from lately, is
the vegetarian theory: If only people
would give up eating meat, war would
be at an end. The two seem Of equal
merit and equal relevance to reality.
Both are essentially toys for grown-ups
who ought to know better, perhaps, but
who are certainly entitled to their own
amusement.

One Big Jam

1t has always been hard to reduce
to understandable terms the confusing
data which traffic engineers, forecasting
the future, feed into their computers.
Miles L. Colean, the chairman of the
Joint Committee on Transportation
created by four Washington civic or
CARNATIONS, has found one way.
Mr.. Colean, who is a distinguished
consultant on urban problems, notes
that there are now roughly $50 900 auto
mobiles in Metropolitan Washington.
On the basis Of national forecasting
methods used by the Federal Govern
ment, Mr.. Colean says the Washington
area by 1880 will have the astounding
total Of 1,725,000 cars. And he believes
that this estimate, because of the
peculiaritieS Of the Washington situa-
ton, may be conservative.
The past appears to support him.
During the decade ending in 1861,
according to the Automobile Manu-
facturerS' Association, the number Of
registered passenger cars in the Nation
increased from 1875 million to 6O.8 mil
lion cars.
A total of 1,725,OOO cars in the area!
Apply this statiStic-against the present
number of cars to the ruSh-hour
conditions in Washington after last
Mondays snow, and try to imagine the
result. The fact is, of course, that
Washington'S present thoroughfares
could not possibly accommodate such a
load of cars.
The statistic does help demonstrate,

He Sounds Serious

Having spent long time listening
to economy speeches while watching the
Federal payroll grow and grow and grow
and grow, 1t is bit difficult to accept
President JohnSon'S latest comment at
face value. Still, he sounds like a man
who means what he is saying.
Every year, or so it seems, the total
OF Federal workers climbs higher Since
1851, about 131 900 have been added to
the rolls. Just to clamp firm ceiling
on this trend would be a monumental
achievement. But Mr.. Johnson is talk
ing about cutting down the total. And,
to repeat, he seems to mean it.
We wish him every success. Espe-
cially since he proposes to accomplish
this, not by firing people, but rather by
not hiring additional people and by not
filling old jobs as vacancies occur. The
President also stated in memorandum
to the heads Of all Federal Departments
and agencies that he is "unconvinced
that we are getting the maximum pos
siole output per employee" 1t would be
safe bet that Mr.. Johnson is right.
And we say more power to him II he
can get more output per employee. 1t
won't be easy.
Mr.. johnson also is on record as
Endorsing the goals and the detectives
OF the New Frontier. 1t is bit difficult
to see how he will achieve these goals
with fewer employees and with reduced
Federal budget, which he has at least
talked about hopefully. At some point
there must be collision between econ
omy and a Federal effort to do all
things for all men. Or so 1t seems to US.

The District Of Columbia
Society Of Professional Engi-
neers Is definitely In favor Of
a rapid transit program as q
necessary adjunct to the i'm
provement Of public roads In
the Metropolitan Area.
The comment by Commits
sioner Tobriner that he was
bitter about the controversy
between highways and tran
sit groups is but part Of the
story. There were three ma
jor groups involved in the
present transit fiasco. There
were, Of course, those who
are primarily highway-ori-
ented and who believed that
anything other than high
ways or anything not on rub
Der tires was unnecessary for
the District. These people are
narrow-minded and will not
look at the total picture.
There was q second group
who believed that by not al
lowing highways to be built,
it would force the people Of
the Metropolitan Area to use
a rail rapid transit system
and thereby insure its finan-
cial success. But there was a
third group, and this group
has won the battle. This
group was the "do-nothing
group" who opposed every
thing and wanted to see no
progress made by the Dis
trict, and who wanted us to
do nothing in the way of
highways or rapid transit.
This "do-nothing group" is
most vocal. 1t picked on all
of the weak points Of the
highway program: displace-
ment Of persons, lack of
esthetic beauty, difficulty of
cars exiting from highways,
and pointed all of these
things out to the public. The
same group then attacked

portation Agency. They

go to suburban Maryland; 1t
did not go to suburban Vir-

cially justified; it did not
have necessary labor safe
guards. The ''bobtailed" plan
was doomed before it started.
We need a total rapid transit
system which will provide ac-
cess to the Metropolitan City.
1t must go to the far reaches
of the suburbs to pick up the
commuters, 1t must be under
