Treasury Secretary Dillon
reported (May y that State
and local governments will
get an annual $40 billion
revenue bonanza" If Con-
gress will only enact the ad-
ministration's tax cut pro-
posals.
If this Is such "hearten-
ing news" as Senator Doug
las puts it, why haven't we
cut taxes every year so State
and local governments could
have even bigger bonanzas? I?
This should be easy legiSla-
ton to secure because surely
every voter Is In favor Of
lower taxes.
I'm quite curious, however,
to know the mechanics of this
boon to State and local gov
ernmentS. Does Secretary Dill
lon mean that we taxpayers
will receive a $40 billion Fed
eral tax cut and then later,
receive additional State and
local tax relief amounting to
almost SO billion?
Perhaps the intricacies of
high finance escape me but
I have always figured a tax
cut to mean less revenue, not
more. II this country can
spend more and pay for less,
Just who picks up the tab
for the difference?

Riqht to Picket

When will the Unite d
States Park Police begin to
recognize the Bill Of Rights?
The Star reports that on
Saturday, May 4, the Park
Police stopped and prevented
a group Of integration march,
ers from passing through q
park area around the Lin
coin Memorial until they
removed their small signs.
There have been three
cases in which such restric-
tions Of free speech have
been determined unconstitu-
tional. Last year Quakers
were barred from distributing
literature on park property.
A complaint by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union
brought an official apology
from Secretary Udall who
stated that he felt the con-
stitutional rights Of the
Quakers had been infringed.
Later, Park Police arrested
a group Of peace demonstra-
tors who attempted TO walk
to their destination via East
Executive avenue while wear
ing peace signs. Judge An
drew Howard determined
that the demonstrators we're
entitled to walk on this street
under Park Police jurisdic-
ton and found the defendants
not guilty.
In March, this writer was
arrested with two others In
a test case while picketing
and distributing literature on
East Executive avenue. The
charges never reached court
for trial. The Corporation
Counsel agreed that we could
demonstrate in such areas,
Later that week the solicit
tors office In the Depart
ment Of the Interior certified
that such demonstrations are
permitted on all park prop
erty throughout the Nation
The Park Police remain un-
affected by the determina-
tions.
It is time for someone tc
insist that the United States
Park Police cease harassing
and preventing America a n
citizens from exercising their
rights Of free speech. II would
seem that one court decision
would be ample. But there
can be no justification fol-
their actions which are con-
trary TO public statements oi

tary Of the Interior and the

Unprotected Motorists

In a recent letter to Congress the
Commissioners disclosed the surprising
fact that about $4,000 Of the motor
vehicles registered each year in the
District Of Columbia - approximately
one-fourth Of the total-are not COW
cred by liability or property damage
Insurance.
- To anyone who has ever been in
'volved In an automobile accident, the
significance of this is clear. It means
that the motorist who suffers damages
or injuries in an accident in which he
is not at fault is almost certain to be
left holding the bag-even though he
himself may be fully insured against
damages to others.
To say, as the Commissioners did in
their little-noticed letter, that this poses
"a grave threat" to the responsible mo-
torists Of this community Is an under
statement. 1t constitutes an incredible
gap in the statutes bearing on the con-
troll Of motor vehicles in Washington-a
gap which has been permitted to drag
on for too long period. And this sit
and inequity which 1t represents have
been recognized by public authorities for
a long time. That members Of Congress
have failed to enact the necessary cor
rectiye legislation is also surprising in
view Of the fact that the thousands of
their constituents who visit the Nations
Capital every year are as vulnerable as
the citizens who make their homes here.
Under the so-called "Safety-respon-
sibility" law which currently exists in
Washington, uninsured drivers who are
at fault in accidents are subject to IL
cense suspension If they are unable or
fail to assume financial responsibility
after an accident. And there are two
things which should be said on this
point.
The first is that the penalty of IL
cense revocation is no guarantee that
these same drivers will not climb behind
the wheel again, and take their chance
Of not being caught. The second, and
more important point, Of course, is that
the fact Of license revocation, even II
effective, affords no redress to the mo-
torist who happens to be the innocent
victim of costly damages to his vehicle
or to his person. Nor, in many cases,
can he look to the courts for assistance.
For all too frequently the driver who
fails to protect himself with liability
Insurance is also judgment-proof because
Of limited financial assets.
The purpose of the Commissioners
letter to Congress in April was to re-
quest once again the enactment OF bill
which would assure financial redress to
motorists who now are unprotected. The
Commissioners favor program pat
termed generally along the lines Of the
system in Maryland Another bill, spon-
sored by the District Bar Association, is
more closely aligned to the approach
followed in Virginia. The details Of
these proposals were described fully in
the news columns Of The Star on Sun
day.
Nor do we think 1t is particularly
important at this moment to debate
the merits Of the various plans. The
urgent requirement is to rectify the de-
ficiency, and the District Committees
of the House and the Senate should do
10 without further delay.

THE PASSING SCENE
G. O.P. Election Prospect Rising

Republican congressional
prospects for next year are
almost certainly rising, most
notably in the Senate. The
long-run outlook for the al
ready battered liberal-welfar-
ist aspects Of the Kennedy
legislative program almost
certainly Is correspondingly
falling.
All present indicators Of
the ordinarily reliable sort
point to the probable re-elec-
ton Of President Kennedy in
1854, Notwithstanding q
glamorous and vital prelimi-
nary contest for the @. o. p.
presidential nomination. But
the indicators point also to
the probable setting UP by
the voters Of an even more
conservative-minde hedge

paign struggle Of next year
will not be for the Presi-

formal party control. The
mere mathematics are for

The reality, however, Is
even now far different from

this massive ostensible DEM
ocratic majority the Presi-
dent has not been able to
do too much with his purely
welfarist proposals. There are
Democrats and Democrats:
and a large number have
not been on the Presidents

"The reign Of tears is

turn our prisons into fac
tories and our jails into

That was how Billy Sunday
greeted national prohibition.

that the Commissioners re-
member to order us to re-
frain from destroying the

Prohibition that's the way
to do 1t. No alcohol on Gov

alcohol anywhere.

Party Pepper
Is Il Hazard.
Official Yarns

Champagne of any brand is
ordinarily an asset to a party,
but Champaign" (sic) as a

menace, according to the Silver
Spring Fire Department.
In line with its policy of warn.
ing area residents of potential
hazards, the department noted
that the Champaign Party Pop
per" available at some local
stores is not only dangerous,
but as al; explosive, is illegal.
The Japanese-made device is a
three-incn facsimile of a cham.
payne bottle equipped with two
strings which, when pulled from
opposite directions, explodes
and discharges a string of cor.
fetti.
According to Deputy Chic
Albert Warfield, who found
out the items existence when
his wife purchased several
from neighborhood store, the
explosion is forcefIll enough to
cause serious injury to the eyes
or other parts of the face. Most
dealers selling the device are
unaware of its dangers, he
added.

Home for Aged Ruling
Opposed by Neighbors

An appeal was filed in Cir
cult Court last week on behalf
of a group of Burtonsville resi-
dents disputing Board of APP
meals decision which would per-
init operation of a home for
the aged in their neighborhood.
The appeal was submitted by
Attorney Robert Wallace, repre-.
senting neighbors of Mrs. Maui
rine E. Lippard, 3408 Green
castle Road, who was granted a
special exception to the existing
coming law allowing her to use
her residence as a home for a
maximum of five elderly per-
sons.
During two hearings held by
the Board of Appeals on the
request, number of neighbor-
hood residents presented strong
opposition to the proposal and
submitted petitions bearing the
names of more than 70 nearby
home owners aligned with them.
A major point of contention
was the size of the three-bed-
room house in relation to the
total number of occupants.
In its opinion, however, the
board noted that a maximum of
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-03-07

eight persons would occupy the
home, including the five
patients and a registered nurse
along with Mrs. Lippard and
her son, and pointed out that
an adjacent home is occupied
by a family of 10. According to
testimony, a completed base.
ment including a bath would
provide space for Mrs. Lippard
and her son, with the patients
occupying the three upstairs
bedrooms.
During the hearings, neigh.
bors not only contended that the
home for the aged would have
an adverse effect on the value
of existing homes in the area,
but suggested that patients
might be disturbed by children
in the neighborhood and con-
ccivably could be "jeopardized"
by repetition of electric supply
failure that occurred two years
ago in a neighborhood "at the
extreme end of the service
area"
Opposition petitions also sug.
gested that other property is
available in the area for use as
a home for the aged with a
minimum adverse effect" that
the propose use of the
house might offset development
of open space across the street
and that sewage facilities would
be inadequate for the number
of persons occupying the house.
While the project was opposed
generally by residents of the
area, it was supported by two
neighbors, each of whom lives
only three homes away. One of
them, a registered nurse en-
ployed by another home for the
aged having some 10 patients,
commended it has no disturbing
effect on adjacent home owners.
Another supporter of the
coming exception, also employed
as a registered nurse at a home
for the aged, pointed out that
the house is the regular meet
ing place for neighborhood
Brownie troop which each year
adopts" a grandmother living
in the home and does not view
the residence as "a thing of
horror"
In its ruling on the proposal,
approved by a 40 vote with
one member abstaining because
she did not attend the hearings,
the Board of Appeals said:
'We do not believe the use
as proposed by the applicant
will constitute a nuisance as de.
fined in the ordinance and we
are of the opinion that she has
met the burden of proof as to
the other requirements of the
law"
