That Animal Farm

Nothing short Of complete investi-
cation, as promised by county officials,
can hope to educe all the facts and
pinpoint responsibility for the appalling
conditions found on a Prince William
(Va) animal collection farm. From
preliminary disclosures, 1t is sadly EVIL
dent that inadequate facilities and
neglect contributed TO the deaths of
hundreds OF animals found haphazardly
buried on the one-time dairy farm near
Gainesville.
Not so evident is how these condi-
tons were allowed to prevail-whether
through indifference or ignorance. No
one apparently was more surprised by
the disclosures than some Of the d.
rectors Of Geological Worldwide. Inc,
the firm which gathered the animals
for sale TO medical laboratories.
Perhaps less surprised we're county
officials. Last fall the health and SAM
tation officers ordered corrections at
the farm. Last January the county
executive secretary ordered a cleanup
after receiving reports OF food and water
shortages, filth and freezing animals.
Yet the operation was allowed TO con-
tinue until humane societies forced a
shutdown.

Our Verbose c Correspondent

Our chief regret in printing Senator
Wayne MorSe'S letter is the amount of
space consumed by his windy irrelevant
cies. His appraisal of The Stars position
on the Mallory rule and arrests for
Investigation" is unfortunate hyperbole
NOT because it is directed at The Star,
but because it exemplifies a brand Of
political liberalism" which handicaps
valid law enforcement in the District
Of Columbia by obscuring the points at
issue.
Instead of Indicating its legislative
function to Federal judges of various
persuasions in this Jurisdiction, Congress
should amend or clarity, as to its intent,
Rule (a) of Federal procedure. The
broadening judicial interpretations Of
this rule and its basic principle since
Mallory reflect more inventive genius
than hitherto accepted precedent. Con-
gress should also review and make more
precise local statutes relating to police
interrogation and detention in criminal
investigation The inadequacieS in this
field contribute to an uncertainty and
confusion that discredit the police and
make more difficult their prevention and
solution of crime.
A determined search by Congress
for appropriate and needed legislation
would be of more benefit in dealing with
dangerous and disgraceful crime con-
dition in Washington than any amount
Of pointless breast-beating about due
process under the Constitution by the
verbose senior Senator from oregon.

Question and Answer

When President Kennedy asked for
details as to where his budget could
be cut, he presumably was addressing
himself to his Republican critics and
expected them to reply Instead, the
answer, or at least the first answer,
has, come from Democratic Senator A.
Willis Robertson of Virginia.
Senator Robertson proposes that
So billion be cut from the $98.8-billion
items in the budget which he thinks
can be cut. Furthermore, he argues
plausibly that these cuts can be made
without having disaster overtake the
country.
In fact, the Virginia Senator sug-
gests that the real threat of disaster
lies, not in cutting the budget, but in
refusing to cut it. He estimates that
if Congress approves all of the spend
ing schemes" recommended by the
President there will be deficit at the
end of the next fiscal year of from
$40 billion to $12 billion. He could not
vote in good conscience, he added, to
impose $10-billion tax cut on a def
icit of such proportions Certainly, If
this should be done, no one should
delude himself as to the virtually in
evitable inflationary consequences.
There is no assurance, however,
that Congress will make the budget
cuts proposed by Senator Robertson,
or those yet to be specified by the
Republicans. Politically speaking, it is
easier to preach economy than to prac-
tice it. And the ever-rising Federal
expenditures indicate that this is
misunderstood fact of political life.

Wrong Church

As one Of those who will be
a part Of the new Washing
ton Channel waterfront, our
congregation was most i'm
pressed with the excellent
coverage given the new

Of The Star, The very clear
map which you reproduced
made IL easily understand
able.
However. we we're surprised
TO note that the artist Of the
map had rechristened us
"St. Matthew's Episcopal
Church,"
We know that you would
want this error brought TO
your attention because OF
The Stars record for UNI
biased accuracy.
To put the record straight
we are 81. Augustine's Epis-
copal Chapel. Being the only
new church starting from
scratch in the Southwest Re-
development Area and being
somewhat less that two years
old, we are especially proud
OF our name.

Clipped WINGS

The House of Representatives has
done thorough wing-clipping job on
Adam Clayton Powell, chairman of the
House Committee on Education and
Labor.
This operation took the form of
drastic reduction In Mr.. PowellS request
for funds to run his committee land its
staff during this session Of Congress.
Furthermore, the House approved the
unusual action Of allocating specific
amounts to subcommittee, thus sharply
limiting the money Mr.. Powell can
spend at his own discretion.
The Harlem congressman was not
present during the debate. One report
had it that he was i'll with flu; another
that he was recuperating at his beach,
side home in Puerto Rico. But it probably
did not matter.
Mr.. Powell had said that his COM
mittee allowance was being cut because
he is Negro. He had also said that he
was being punished for his stand in
behalf of civil rights. We do not believe
there is any basis for either contention.
The New York legislator has made
the further point that he does not stand
alone; that other committee chairmen
and their Staffs have been something
less than tight-fisted in tossing around
the taxpayers dollar This may be true.
If it is true, Mr. Powell, when he returns
to the House, will have opportunity to
prove his point.
Meanwhile, on the basis of the whole
record, there is no doubt in our mind
that the House was justified in cutting
back on what the ranking Democratic
member of the committee called the
"outrageously high" proposed budget for
Mr.. Powell's committee. This slash may
hurt, but large part of the cutback can
be offset by staging fewer junkets.

High Cost of Growth

Early authorization OF $29.9-
million bond issue for new school
construction in Fairfax County is hardly
matter of choice-either for the
officials who have proposed it or for the
county residents who must vote on the
question this spring. Certainly the
justification is not likely to be seriously
questioned by anyone who takes look
at the facts of Fairfax growth.
In a metropolitan area Of fantastic
expansion, the Fairfax story is by all
odds the most dramatic. The entire
county population in 1910 was only
40,929, and remained under 100000 in
1850. BY 1860, however, there were
262,4 82 Fairfax residents, and by now
there are more than 100000. The latest
county estimate for the year 1880 is
100000! Fairfax school attendance
figures, OF course, tell the same story-a
leap from 26,927 in 1855 to 1871 as of
last February l. In 1860, when there still
were only about $1,000 students in county
schools, Fairfax voters approved a S26-
million bond issue to provide sufficient
classes for total school population of
,000-expected to suffice until 1865.
Facilities for the $4,000 will be available;
the difficulty is that this enrolment
level will be reached by next fall, instead
Of 1865, and thereafter it is expected to
keep climbing at rate of at least 1000
a year. The proposed new bond issue is
intended to provide schools for an addi-
tional 81 900 pupils, enough roughly, to
take care of the next three years.
Initially, larger five-year con-
struction program had been proposed,
but was pared down, at least partly for
the entirely practical reason that more
modest bonding program would be more
acceptable to the voters. There is another
argument, however, which is even more
persuasive than the short-term APP
proach. 1t is simply that three years in
this era of wild growth is far enough in
the future to try to estimate needs with
any reasonable degree of accuracy. The
bonding program as proposed contem-
plates that there will be $1,000 more
pupils-roughly a 20 per cent increase
between this fall and the fall of 1866.
But it is quite possible, as School Board
Chairman Eugene Newman points out,
that this estimate, too, might prove
conservative. In any event, it is wise to
proceed with the maximum amount of
flexiDility.

Age of the Gun

Are we Americans unwit-
tingly teaching our children
to be hoodlums and MUIR
derers? Are we doing this
through the media of the
TV western and gangster
movies with the false belief
that Junior must have a
toy gun to play with
rather than an erector set
or a stamp collection, or
some other constructive type
of amusement? Note the re-
cent rash of juvenile mug
gings and murders.
Before Junior can scarcely
talk or even walk, his doting
parents viii present him with
a toy gun, holster and cow
boy hat. He is taught TO say
bang, you're dead" or stick
EN- up" He grows up with the
toy gun in his hand and all
Of his play time is directed
toward violence and the over
towering of his playmates.
AS he grows older, the toy
gun becomes kid stuff" but
the itch for a gun in his
hand still remains. He thinks
it would give him a sense
of Importance and bravado to
be able to flourish a real
gun, so he steals one or
buys one through a mail
order house. Now his impor-
lance swells to the bursting
point.
But with the toy gun his
parents neglected to i'm
press upon his immature
mind the harm a real gun
might do to himself and to
others. So with the real gun
in his hand he re-enacts the
same play pattern he used
in childhood and becomes
a murderer, a hoodlum or a
suicide.
If parents could be taught
to keep toy guns out of the
hands of little ones, and If
there could be a ban on the
manufacture and sales of
these toys, I am sure the
juvenile crime wave would
be largely reduced. There is
time enough to put a gun III
a child's hand when he is
old enough to defend his
country, but before that time
comes. let us use a little
common sense in picking out
Juniors toys.
