Bonfire

= Rather than return those ridiculous,
prying questionnaires which it had stu
dents Of the Montgomery Junior College
fill out and sign several weeks ago, the
Educational Testing Service, of Prince
ton, N. j., intends to burn them.
Excellent! We just can't imagine
a better purpose for these amazing doc
uments to Serve-or more fitting fate
The Montgomery County Board of
Education had demanded the return Of
the answer sheets, no doubt in the hope
of touching the match to them itself.
But it's better, we think, to have
the bonfire at dear old Princeton. Who
knows? A spark from the fire may
linger on, like an Olympic torch, as a
constant reminder that there are limits
beyond which even those who make
business out Of looking into other peo-
Piles business must not pass.

Unfair Penalty

The lovely systems Of parks that
grace the National Capital area today
were financed largely by Federal grants
land local matching funds) authorized
by the Capper- Cramton Act Of 193O-an
authorization which began to run out a
few years ago. Rather than to seek an
extension, the Washington area has
relied upon the national open space"
program enacted by Congress in 1861,
which made Federal grants available to
metropolitan areas throughout the
country.
Now, however, the House Appro-
priations Committee has unexpectedly
and unaccountably knocked Washington
out Of the national program It has done
so by a statement In committee report
which simply says that no open-space
funds should be approved ain this 10
cality." Technically speaking, the report
does not have the force Of law In view
OF the power of the Appropriations Com
mittee, however, 1t carries a force that
the Urban Renewal Administration,
which handles the grants, Is not apt
to ignore. And since the report Is not
legislation, Maryland and Virginia con-
gresSmen have been powerless to do
more than object to its unfairness.
N' Certainly, however, 1t Is unitarian
act of discrimination which can only
be explained away as misunderstand-
ing or as legislative whim. We hope
it is q. case Of the former While Wash
ington, as the report states, has partici-
pated substantially in the program al
ready, other metropolitan areas have
done so to an even greater degree. Yet
no penalty has been imposed upon them.
Indeed the past participation Of WASH.
ington is tribute to the far-sighted-
ness of its local communities, In their
willingness to provide matching funds
which far exceed the amounts Of the
grants.
Hopefully the Senate viii take a
more responsible view of the situation,
and will write into its own report on
the open-spaces appropriation a posi-
tive statement as to the need for Wash
ington'S participation. This alone, how
ever, would not solve the dilemma. The
real solution is for the House committee
to rescind its action

Unfit as Ever

Red China continues to be alto
gether unfit for membership in the
United Nations. In effect, this Is what
the General Assembly has Just Said-for
the 14th time in as many years-in its
57-to-4l vote against Albania's proposal
to admit Peking and expel the Chinese
Nationalist.
In the past the Indians and the
Russians have been the most vociferous
advocates of such action. But in this
latest go-round on the issue they have
cast only lukewarm, II not cold, vote
in favor. Albania, Peking's pipSqueak
satellite on the Adriatic, has had to
supply all the fervor and the shouting
in the Assembly on behalf Of the Mao
Tze-tung regime. Certain unpleasant
ries, Of course, have developed between
that regime and New Delhi and Mos
COW. Hence New Delhi'S and MoScow's
failure to support the Albanians with
any oratory or enthusiasm worthy of
the name.
But even more interesting, II not
more significant, is the fact that the
great majority Of the newly independent
African states have voted. to keep Red
China out Of the United Nations. They
have done so on the ground that Picking
is not peace-loving in the sense required
by the U. N. Charter as the prime quail
fication for membership. Their position
in that respect is fully supported by the
historical record-a record that leaves
no room for doubt, In Korea, on the
Indian frontier, or In such other places
at Laos, Wet Nam and the Formosa
Strait, that the Chinese Communists
are subverters and aggressors out for
blood and eager for conquest.
So the General AsSembly's vote Ia
bit bigger than last years. to bar these
people from membership is wholly graf
flying. This is particularly true because
of the position taken by most of the
African states. Clearly enough, they
have not been hoodwinked by Peking's
venomous racial propaganda.

Thought CONTROL

The Montgomery County
Council Is now considering
adoption Of q proposed OrdI-
nance to Regulate Parades
and Public Assemblies. At
public hearings on August IA
citizens groups Overwhelming
~ opposed this ordinance,
which viii greatly ii1hibit the
free expression Of public
opinion. t
Sections l and 2 Of the or
dinance state that no person
shall form or even parti-
cipate in any parade or pub
lie assembly unless he first
obtains q permit from the
County Manager, and that
application for q permit must
be made at least three days
prior TO the proposed parade
or public assembly" This has
now been broadened to re-
quire q permit Of every, per-
son contributing to or in any
way aiding such q public
gathering. e.
The ordinance would en-
courage the County Council
to discriminate invidiously
against those groups that
they oppose. The County
Manager would be authorized
to waive the three-day re-
quirement ''in his discretion
=. for good cause shown"
The probability Of such, use
Of the ordinance, is increased
by that part Of S-ection 3
which requires the applicant
to furnish "any additional
information which the Conn
ty Manager shall find rea-
sonably necessary for q fair
determination as to whether
a permit should be issued"
The avowed purpose or the
proposed ordinance Is to lin
it the obstruction OF traffic
by parades and assemblies. II
this Is the case I cannot un-
derstand the need for the in
formation required In Sec
ton 3 Of the application for
permit. This sounds like
thought control, not traffic
control.
Except for certain specifi-
cally excepted political, reli-
gious, and civic functions,
groups which decide sponta-
neously to assemble In dis
cussion Of public issues will
be unable to do so, having
failed to file an application
for permit three days in ad-
vance. 1t should be the con-

There are good signs that common
sense is going to triumph over the po-
tentially dangerous nonsense of the
chicken war" that has been embittering
relations between the United States and
the European Economic Community. At
any rate, after months of wrangling,
both sides have agreed on procedure
that promises to bring about mutually
satisfactory peace settlement that
should help to avert or minimize similar
trading strife in the future. T..
> The trouble began last year when
the six-nation FEC, or Common Market,
virtually tripled its tariff levies against
poultry imports from America, This
abrupt action, according to our Govern
ment, has been in violation of clear
agreements and it has done serious
economic damage-totaling about SAG
million-to our chicken exporters. The
Common Market, on the other hand,
argues that WaShington's figure is
greatly exaggerated and should be cut
down to around $19 million.
Whatever the facts, the important
thing is that the two parties have
joined in submitting their dispute to
arbitration. under terms of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. GAIT
will name three-man panel made up
OF representatives from countries not
involved in the controversy, and the
findings Of this group, though not bind
ing on either side, will almost certainly
be accepted by both. And after that-if
the panel concludes, for example, that
American exporters have suffered dam
ages of as much, say, as $50 million
(if not $46 million)-the United States
will be entitled to impose equivalent
compensatory" or "retaliatory" tariff
increases on certain imports from the
Common Market.
OF course, since our poultry ship
ments to Western Europe represent less
than per cent Of our agricultural ex-
ports, all this may seem as silly as it is
complicated. But former Secretary of
State Herter and other officials In
charge Of our Trade Expansion Act
although they hope In this instance
for an amicable settlement that will
involve no "retaliatory" levies-see in
the. chicken war" the ominouS portent
Of FEC protectionism against all sorts
Of American goods.
That is the chief reason why the
United States has reacted as it has to
the Markets barriers against American
poultry. If the same sort of thing should
happen in other fields of commerce,
then q deadly type Of economic warfare
could be set in motion among the West
ern allies. To mix astronomical terms,

Debute?

The Associated Press deserves "A"
for the effort entailed in organizing a
paper debate" between Senator Gold
water and Governor Rockefeller follow
ing the formers refusal to engage the
latter in any such meeting. But this
series Of answers to submitted questions
relates to real debate about the same
way real foot race is related to the
annual Shrove Tuesday race" between
pancake Tipping housewife in Kansas
and one in England. In that sports
highlight, neither contender has the re-
hottest idea how or what the opposition
is doing; she just runs like mad in the
direction of the goal.
SO it was with the joint question
naire.
We have a scientific political pro-
nouncement analysis system here, pat
ent applied for, and according to its
ratings, Rockefeller outran Goldwater
464 column inches to II column inches.
The beauty Of the system is that 1t
can mean anything you like. In this
case it can mean that Barry is curt,
concise and decided. 1t can equally well
mean that Rocky is well-balanced, all
seeing and judiciouS, taking all aspects
of all questions into every consideration.
Or, which seems more likely, 1t can
mean that the Senator befogged most
issues by oversimplification; the Gov
ernor by over-complexifying Thus, in
reply to the query whether we should
pull out of Wet Nam, Goldwater said
NO." hardly sixteenth Of an inch,
while Rockefeller went into a full four
inches to say NO"
Like those pancake flippers, the
contenders were really contending with
an absent, third party. In Kansas and
Coventry, the missing third is the clock.
Here the clock was called Kennedy.

Life Con Be, Insecure in Luxury Apartments Too.

Owners and operators of
Washington apartment
houses frequently aid and
ahet criminals. They do this
mconsciously though it is
hardly possible to believe
they are unaware Of a vital
fact: Namely, that by the
expenditure Of q few more
dollars, they could furnish
adequate security for their
tenants who are now with
out needed protection.
One illustration of this
dark fact comes strongly to
mind. The apartment house
tenant referred to herein,
and the writer Of this &C.
count, are. one and the same
person. which authenticates
my right to speak. It is not
easy to write this letter.
The tenant signed q lease
for q so-called luxury apart
ment located in q so-called
fashionable Washington
area, slightly more than q
year ago. The rent was 50, 400
q year. The brochure and
plans Of the new apartment
set forth the advantages Of

could hardly believe that
security" had been omitted.
Did you ever read a, lease,
such as people are signing
every day of the year on
leasing an apartment? Read
one carefully. You viii find
that the tenant agrees to do
q great many things: To pay
his rent with clocklike
promptness. not to make too
much noise, not to disfigure
the walls by hanging any
good pictures you have, to
keep the place in apple-pie
order among others.
The operator or owner
agrees to-what?
Nothing, except to let you
live in the apartment nomi-
mated In the lease for an
agreed period at an agreed
fee. He does not agree to give
you anything specific. You

supporters object first to the
manner In which committee
assignments are made. In
practice, each party makes
its own selections which are
then ratified by the Senate.
In the Democratic Party,
the assignments are made BY
a Steering Committee ap-
pointed by the majority
leader who 10 turn is elected
by the entire Democratic
membership.
Senator Clark sought to re-
wise this procedure within the
councils Of the party. HAY
ing failed; he sought without
hope Of success to achieve
the desired results by alter
ing the Senate rules. But the
alterations he proposed would
not have directly affected the
intraparty procedure This
much Of the attack, then, was
indirect, and is therefore a
source Of considerable con-
Curbs on ChaIrmen
In addition there were seri-
Gus suggestions to limit the
powers of committee chair
men. Here the question was
simply one Of changing the
rules because In Senator
Clark's view, the rules ought
to have been changed. The
element Of attack on the party
through the rules Of the SEN
ate does not enter.

Until one has experienced

in the certainty that If the

There are three doorways
opening from the apartment

until 10 pm. During the in

at liberty to come in, mount

or what apartments they
may rob.
Thus apartment owners

their unwillingnesS to pro-

THE PASSING SCENE
Hoppy compoiqn for Kennedy

among his intimate advisers,
q ''favorite" opponent. He
simply realizes that 20 long
as Senator OoldRater r..
mains out ahead and Gov.
Rockefeller continues to hit
him 80 hard, the Senator d
inevitably going 10 be soften,
ed up while the Governor,
himself. Is not going to be
promoted thereby. Thus. the
President never discourages
the notion that Senator
Goldwster Is. indeed. out
ahead.
For while Senator Gold
water can be hurt to some
extent, especially among
those who generally support
q strongly internationaliSt
line, Il does not follow that
Gov. Rockefeller can help
himself, 50 far as his search
for the nomination Is con-
cerned. To the contrary, the
Governors greatest weak
ness for the nomination Is
not even his divorce ana re-
marriage, as so many believe.
To the professional poIiti-
clans who viii control the
Republican convention q FAR
greater liability Is simply
the divisive nature Of the
Governors campaign against
the Senator.
It Is not that all the pros
madly love Senator Gold
water. It Is only that they
are first Of all interested in
keeping the party together.
The Presidents Preference
The truth Is that In Presi-
dent Kennedy there are
mixed feelings -aS to which
Republican challenger would
be preferable from where he
sits. Though Senator Gold
water presumably would be
the weakest @. o. p. choice
In the urban North and East.
he would also be its strongest
choice In the South, in the
Far West and In most Of the
Middle West.
An election pitting MFR.
Kennedy against Senator
Goldwater, moreover, would
create for the President even
II he won. the grayest Of
post-election problems. Al
most surely the South would
be heavily broken into by the
Senator. Almost surely, the
Southern patriarchs who
largely run Congres@
and viii continue to do
so-would return here
In 1855 unwilling to give the
President even as much sup
port as they give him now.
A man must not only be
elected: he must give some
thought to his capacity to
govern after election. No
other q. o. P. candidate could
raise so many difficulties
for Mr.. Kennedy in this lat
ter regard as would Senator
Goldwater. even II he were
defeated.

take those things for granted
and in most cases these ia
cilities are supplied by the
owner or operator. But by
the terms Of the lease he is
not compelled to supply
them. He is not required to
furnish even q modicum of
security to his tenants by
keeping guards at the various
doors of the apartment and
keeping openings locked.
But, in this specific case.
eager to be located in a new
apartment, the tenant in
question signed the lease.
Five months later his wife
was assaulted early in the
evening in the laundry of
the apartment house by a

hall, whom she supposed to

At the point of a switch

her into an adjoining garage.
assaulted her twice, and cut
her clothing from her. We
who live in Washington have,
