Legal Footnote

A white man In Birmingham has
been found guilty Of possessing dyna-
mite and has been given the maximum
sentence for this offenSe-Six months
in jail at hard labor and 500 fine.
We think that this, as far as it goes,
is all to the good.
The conviction was based, however,
on a confession signed by the accused
after he had been held incommunicado
and questioned for 70 hours on an
"open charge" He had not been ar
raigned without unnecessary delay be-
fore committing magistrate. He had
not been warned Of his right to remain
silent. He had not been advised Of his
right to counsel. Tin fact, the police
refused to let him talk to his lawyer.)
Had this man been guilty of any
crime in Washington his confession,
under the Mallory rule, could not be
used against him. Without other evil
dence, it would be necessary to release
him. And the liberal chorus would be
Shrieking to high heaven about the
monStrous injustice Of the way he had
been treated by the police. Strange
ly enough, we haven't heard a peep
out Of them about the conviction In
Birmingham.

Con and RECON-

AS sometimes was the case with
such distinguished world leaders as
Winston Churchill and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, we have misunderstood
Charles de Gaulle.
In the company Of other American
newspapers last week, we interpreted
remark of the Generals about the need
for "free upmire" in Wet Nam to mean
he was ready to serve. Nothing of the
kind, we have since been informed. The
trouble is that American correspondents
don't really understand French.
Fair enough. The teaching Of
French in American journalism schools
is probably no better than, say, the
teaching of democracy at st. Cyr, the
French West Point. And it Is st. Cyr,
we now realize, that has shaped the
Generals remarkable style of rhetoric.
An elemental military maneuver is
reconnaissance, probing ahead into I'M
known territory to see what reaction you
get from the enemy. In good reconn
it is equally vital to be able to move in
on undefended territory and to be able
to get out of there in hurry if need be.
Many statements of French policy,
we now see, have been not rhetoric but
reconn. The most recent example is
the news" that the French nuclear
force de frappe is now operational. Or
is it? Or is that what was said?
No, as matter Of fact, it wasn't
actually said. The phrase, in a cabinet
communique, was, New means, which
the armed forces are beginning to have
at their disposal"
Twice shy, we await Qualification
that the new means" are something
else entirely, possibly perfected new
system of military reconnaissance.

Macmillan Out

1t is good to know that British
Prime Minister Macmillan, who has the
best wishes Of all free peoples, is In
excellent shape after his operation.
Unhappily, however, it is not excellent
enough-aS he has made clear to the
Blackpool conference of his Conserva-
tive Party-to enable him to carry on
as either the party's leader or head Of
the government.
In effect, although his formal reSig-
nation has not yet been submitted, Mr..
Macmillan thus has withdrawn from
public life, nationally and information
ally. This raises numerous political
questions Of the greatest Importance.
Will the Conservative government man
age to survive the next general election?
Or will Harold Wilson and the Labor
Party come to power2 And what will
happen then? If the LaboriteS win, will
there be drastic changes in Britain's
present policies at home and abroad,
including especially those that bear
upon relations with the United States?
These and Kindred questions prob
ably will constitute a great guessing
game for weeks to come. Meanwhile,
when Mr.. Macmillan formally resigns,
somebody will have to fill his shoes.
He himself seems to have singled out
r. A. Butler for the honor and the
responsibility. At any rate, he has
chosen Mr.. Butler as his chief deputy,
and Mr. Butler is now the acting Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom. But
there are other impressive members of
the Conservative cabinet, and one of
them conceivably may be able to over
come Mr.. Buffers lead as the man most
likely to succeed.
Mr.. Macmillan himself, in his mes
sage to Blackpool, has suggested that
an early decision be reached on this
matter. He has made the suggestion
with characteristic grace. 1t is distress
ing to realize that so charming and bril-
liant a mana man with admirably
steady nerves in times Of crisis-is going
to retire. The loss will be large for the
free world.

Good Sports

Recently I attended a foot
ball game at Episcopal High
School in Virginia. After the
game was over, and Episco-
pal ended up losing, I wit
messed a most extraordinary
sight. The VIII ole Episcopal
student body assembled be-
side the bus and cheered the
team which had just beaten
them. I couldn't believe my
eyes because this is far from
the attitude I am used to
seeing in a stu d e mt body
which has Just seen tn cir
football team defeated. At a
time when the newspapers
report riots and near-riots
after high school a thletic
events, they forget that there
are student bodies which go
out of their way to be good
sports.

A Promise Kept

AS I pay my heavy Mont

have lived for more than a
quarter of a century, I wish

Montgomery County council.
They promised to reduce
taxes. They did so. Blessed
should be the officeholder
who keeps his promises, par
ticularly to economic.
Those who howl for more
millions for local schools
should remember that in the
county there are thousands
of retired workers, whose sole
income is the annuity they
receive. To them, all too Of
ten, any higher tax means
they will have to give up
some necessity of life to pay
for the increase. You either
pay your taxes or your home

I will still pay considerably
more than my October an

But there is no doubt that
had the former council re-
manned in office, taxes would
have risen again.

Chester Gray, in an opinion which
may have been required by the letter
Of the law, has saved" our commu-
nifty from the valuable and entirely
sensible practice under which WASH
ington's three medical schools supple
ment, in modest degree, the salaries
OF staff doctors at the D. c. General
Hospital.
The arrangement, which dates, in
cidentally, back to the mid 1905, has a
single purpose: It makes the Job of
recruiting top medical specialists to
serve in the municipal hospital little
bit easier.
Such policy, in one form or an
other, is customary wherever municipal
hospitals are found. 1t is responsible at
least in part for the excellence of the
present staff at D. C. General And this
excellence, in turn, benefits the COM
munity not only directly, through good
medical service, but indirectly, through
higher quality of medical education in
the schools
Now Mr.. Gray has discovered that
this practice violates law passed last
January which forbidS District or Fed
eral employees to accept compensation
from any private source 1t must, he
says, be stopped.
How unfortunate! Whatever con-
flict of interest Congress intended to
halt by the law, it certainly had moth
ing like this in mind. The only interest
with which this law conflicts is the
public'S.
In the usual nature of such things,
great CONSERVATION has set in all over.
Meetings are being held. Righteous
statements are being issued. Study COM
mittees have been set up 1t seems that
only the doctors at D. C. General, who
are the ones affected, are reasonably
calm.
But they realize, we suspect, that
the effects of the corporation counSelS
ruling are so silly that something surely
must be done to overcome them-faSt.
What to do? No doubt Congress
would exempt the doctors involved, and
it should be asked to do SO. This course,
however, will take time AS an immedi-
ate step, Commissioners Tobriner and
Duncan should seek the modest in
creases in salaries which are required

Cards for Alice

About a month ago you
published q letter from me
requesting cards for our little
daughter. The response was
tremendous. 1t passed the
5.000-mark and cards are still
coming in. Many Of the read
ers are not aware that Alice
passed away September IL.
I now have another re-
quest. If any readers know of
a shut-in, retarded child, or
Of anyone in a hospital who
would like a scrapbook made
up of part Of the cards Alice
received. will they please let
me know?
Our little girl lived only a
week and a half after my let
ter was published, but peo-
pie were so wonderful and
helped to make her happy
that I would like to do the
same for someone else.

Reduced to oNumber

Apparently postal authori-
ties are pressuring the public
to force them to use the ZIP
Code.
I sent a check to a firm in
Fairfax County. It was re-
turned marked mo such ad-
dress" But when I later pre-
sented it to the addressee, he
said, That's my address,"
Some friends have similar
experiences. I believe postal
heads are setting out to en-
force their numbering by q
policy of non-delivery.
How can I possibly inform
all Of my acquaintance Of
my ZIP? My personal address
book contains 391 names.
Some of them are old friends
with whom I exchange only a
yearly letter but I do not
want to lose all touch with
them. My business CORE S.
pondence is large and, to me,
important. Some firms write
to inform me that they are
not intending to use ZIP
numbers, as they already
have an elaborate numbering
system of their own.
Finally, IsdiSlike being re-
duced by the Government to
a number, by address or per-
sonally. It is one long step to
giving our ever-encroaching
National overnmen mt a
tighter hold on citizens.

Chonqe of Scenery

Ny tiredneSs Of reading
about Mrs. Kennedy's "con-
valeScence" prompts me to
write my first letter to an
editor. The First Lady's trip
to Greece and now Turkey is
supposedly for q change of
scenery" since the birth of
her son over two months ago.
1 suppose Hammersmith
Farm wasn't enough Of a
change.
Most women have to plunge
right back into housekeeping,
baby nursing and husband
cajoling after delivery, to
say nothing Of their own con-
valescence. But Mrs. Kennedy
has at her disposal numerous
maids, buffers, chauffeurs,
etc. And to think that her
convalescence is still to be
trumpeted until after the
first Of the year. Imagine!
Sure is q nice way to get out
of her official duties.

Quality Prices

The quality sterilization
bill now pending in Con-
gress involves a problem
which cannot be dismissed
with cries of price fixing,
and attempts to brighten the
consumers with fantastic and
obviously misleading esti-
mates of cost.
The real point at issue is
the survival of small retail
ing establishments, which
support the measure enthu-
siastically despite the bland
assurance of metropolitan
newspapers that it would do
them no good. There Is no
question that small mer-
chants over the country are
having a hard time indeed.
They are caught in q gi-
gantic wise. On the one hand
are the big discount houses,
which often feature we'll
known brand names as loss
leaders. On the other hand
are the giant chains, which
have full control of the
prices paid by consumers for
their brand name, trade
marked products, since the
chains own their own retail
outlets.
The quality sterilization
bill is aimed directly at the
bait merchandising of the
big discount operators and
also it would give the small
retailer the right to charge
a margin In line with that
charged by the chains on
their own protected products.
And 1t would apply only to
goods which are in a free and
competitive field.
Whether the measure
would help the small mer-
chant to survive remains to
be seen, but the backing of
the small man for it is sig
nificant. If the country
wishes to save the small
merchant - and everybody
gives lip service to the idea
this moderate proposal
should be given a trial. At
the very least, it should not
be dismissed on the basis of
the demagogic arguments
which currently are being
made against it.

Gets Results

AS chairman of the Hill
landale Citizens Association
Highway Committee, I was
delig hte d to receive word
from CHI airman John B.
Funk of the Maryland State
Roads Commission that con-
Struction of the northeast
quadrant of the New Hamp-
shire b eltway interchange
had been suspended until the
roads commission could pre-
pare a revised plan for a
complete four-loop inter-
change. Last June I invited a
representative Of the COM
mission to address us on the
beltway. We then lie arm e d
that the existing plan speci-
fled only three loops and we
pointed out that the abbrevi-
ated interchange would cause
traffic jams on New Hamp-
shire avenue, because north
bound traffic could not turn
west onto the beltway with
out crossing south bou n d
traffic lanes. We urged the
mmission to revise the
plan and eliminate this haz-
ard, and it appears that the
commission has responded to
our pleas.
On behalf of the commu-
nifty at large, I thank Senator
Brewster, Governor T awes,
Chairman Funk and all 9TH
ers who responded so quickly
to our request, and whose vi
sion in correction of sue h
omission will result in i'm
proved and safer highways
for all citizens.
