Misrepresentinq the Facts

Representative Garfield Of New Jersey
told the House last Thursday that "Con-
gressional inquiry will establish that sufn-
cient funds for the birthday party (the
sesquicentennial Of the Capitals location
In Washington have already been pledged.
Twice the House has rejected this hand
out. I am sure it will do so again"
If the House rejects the appropriation,
1t should not base its action on MIR. Can
fields misinformation. Responsible men,
bers of the sesquicentennial Commission
say that not a penny has been pledged
toward the expense of an undertaking
authorized by Congress. If Congress re-
fuses to appropriate any money for the
celebration, after having appropriated
money to plan for it, the refusal can be
put down to petty desire to embarrass
the President, or to a complete miscon-
ception of the plans, as illustrated by Mr..
Canfield's inaccurate statement.

Careful Planning Essential

The urgency of the need for an addltlonai
bridge over the Anacostia River Is Such
rs to Justify the haste with which tne
District Highway Department is tackilng
the problem. But in seeking early relleI
for traffic crossing the river, Dlstrlct
officials should allow enough time Tor
the National Capital Park and Planning
commission and any other interested
agencies to pass on speclnc Proposals
The emergency is not so acute as TO war
rant the by-passing of any such agency.
At first glance the Highway Depart
ment's budget request for $3,56o,OoO WIN
which to begin planning and preliminary
construction of bridge I'm the Vlclnlty
of" East Capitol street could be inter-
preted as involving definite commitment
on a project not yet passed on oy the
Park and Planning Commission. IL Is
reassuring however, to learn from High
way Director Robertson that such Is not
the case. For there are many problems
to be settled before a decision Is mace
rs to the location of the next bridge
across the Anacostia.
The TRANSFORMATION survey figures sub
mitted in support of span on the line
OF EaSG CdpllOl SIIceG dAc PCASuoS1'S' D"'
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission has not had time to study
this new proposal of the highway engi-
neers They should have ample oppor-
tunity to consider the project in its
relation to the whole highway and park
plan for the National Capital. Questions
already have been raised as to the effect
of an East Capitol street bridge on long
established plans for the development OF
East Capitol street throughout its length
How would the bridge affect the Armory
already in the approach area? How
would it fit in with the stadium proposed
for the same general area? Would 1t
mean the destruction OF other recrea-
tional facilities existing there or planned?
Such questions as these should be
thoroughly discussed and satisfactorily
disposed of before money is spent on
particular site for the next bridge over
the Anacostia. There should be no I'M
necessary delay in reaching final decision,
however, for the Anacostia River will
remain q major traffic barrier even upon
completion of the South Capitol Street
Bridge.

Obsolete Coast Defenses

Army disposal of approximately seventy
i've pieces of land scattered along the
Eastern seaboard will close the records
on a once formidable coast defense sys-
TEN, now outmoded by modern warfare
developments The forts and the big
guns, many of them dating back to the
Spanish American War era, never had
real opportunity to demonstrate their
worth. For the perils of invasion by
enemy surface fleets which the coastal
defenses were designed to meet never
came to pass. There Is no prospect that
such perils ever again will arise, but II
they should, air power will be better
protection.
The elaborate and costly coast defense
system has been of debatable military
value from its very beginnings. The de-
mands for such series OF fort1ncations,
especially near our large ports, became
too insistent for Congress to resist during
and after the Spanish American War.
False reports of imminent attacks on
New York and other Atlantic ports by the
Spanish feet frightened inhabitants OF
the coastal areas early in that conflict.
Although some military authorities dis
counted the seriousness of such threats
and suggested that defense funds would
be better spent for reinforcing our fleet,
the pressure for construction of gun en-
placements along the coast was over
riding.
With the outbreak of World War I, the
popular demand for strengthening and
amplihcation of these fortihcations was
renewed. Sixteen-inch guns replaced
many of the older and smaller guns during
that war, and there was much practice in
preparation for any naval attack. As a
result of the failure Of enemy surface
fleets to appear of our shores in two
World Wars, most OF the coastal works
have been abandoned, one by one. Now

cultural studies, taken part in the build
ing of roads and railways, helped expand
Recommendations, and in several other
respects contributed-and is still contrib
uting-to Saudi Arabia's economic prog
resS
All this illustrates, on small scale,
what can be accomplished on large scale
by the joint efforts of governments and
private enterprise under Point 4. Given
such efforts over period OF decades, there
can be no doubt that the backward re-
gions will be developed into reasonably
prosperous economies. Nor can there be
any doubt that the peace Of the world
will be we'll served in that way.

A Greek Journalist Tells His People Back Home
of What He Saw During His Stay Here

house comes q colossal strength. AS long
as he knows that this strength is his. he
feels that it is friendly.
Outside of the White House there is a
man with white shirt on. with metal
badge on it-that's all-and he wears black
trousers. He stands, or walks a little.
He is the guard. Only when you are faced
by the grandeur of such simplicity do you
feel how deep this happiness is-that there
should be no fear. That the people should
never have experienced fear. That they
should have nothing to fear. Neither them
selves nor any one else. They fear only
the law. and God.
It gets dark in Washington. The red
sun sinks very slowly. The shadows come
down from the evergreen trees. Lincoln
will rest in his white memorial, and so will
Jefferson. The shadows are falling and
enveloping the memory and the story Of
Hellenism, which managed to arrive and to
live here in Washington.
Ell Greco's LAGOON, the heart-rending
figure, wrapped in the damp whisper which
the water gives to the National Gallery, will
be covered by night. Tomorrow, when day.
light comes. when the people come, LAGOON
will continue with his destiny. continue the
trip Of the Greek tale, the glory Of eternity.
And the Freer Gallery has Alexander the
Great. I found him in 18th century Per-
sian manuscript. Alexander is talking with
tree, which has human voice. He
is portrayed as Byzantine emperor, wear
ing a golden crown. The tree and its
branches are made Of gold.
Alexander the Great, the Persian manu-
script Ell Greco's LAGOON, the green city
Of this far-away land-they are all like

Point 4 in Miniature

In principle, there Is nothing baSlcally
new in President Truman's Point 4 pro-
gram for the economic improvement OF
the worlds underdeveloped areas. Private
American industries and Federal agencies
operating on a relatively small scale IN
regions as far apart as Latin America and
the Middle East-have been engaged IN
something very much like 1t for many
years past It is new only in the sense
that it is being projected now as great
international enterprise to be carried out
systematically over period of decades
What has been happening in Saudi
Arabia offers a good example of how pri-
vate industry is already practicing the
principles of Point 4. In statement is
sued two years ago last July, King 1bn
oil-rich domain and raise the living stand
ards of his 100000 subjects by under
taking large-scale railway construction,
expansion of port facilities, the building
of an extensive network of good roads,
the electrifcation of ancient places, the
improvement Of water supply, and the
establishment of schools, hospitals and
agricultural experiment stations. Repre-
sentatives of free American enterprise,
working closely with the Saudi Arab gov
errlment, have since been playing an i'm
portant role in helping to put the program
into effect.
Thus, to begin with, the program is being
financed largely by Ibn Saud's royalties
from the concessions he has granted to
the Arabian American Oil Company. The
company is one of the prime movers in
volved. Wholly apart from its work in
developing the country's great petroleum
resources, it is contributing both directly
and indirectly to the effort to effect an
overall economic improvement. Evidence
of this can be found in the report 1t sub
mitted earlier this year to the Saudi Ara9
government. Among other things, the re-
port shows that the company is making
a special point of seeing to 1t that the
bulk of its personnel-over go per cent
is made up of Saudi Arabs, that they are
trained to qualify for jobs as high as their
capabilities permit, and that the COM
pany's resources are used to promote
housing, education, health and advances
In the fields of industry and agriculture.
To that end, according to the report,
the Arabian American OIL Company has
already established such things as health
center and facilities for trade and indus

SIiqhtIy AnticIimuctic

After such hair-raising, spine-tingling
finishes in both of the big league pennant
races, the World Series itself is bound to
have an anti-climactic aspect to many
baseball fans. Adding to the let-down in
places outside of New York-and especially
in Boston and st. Louis-will be the fact
that the battle for the world champion
ship will be fought out by teams from
the same metropolitan area.
Seldom If ever in the memory OF vet
eran followers of the national pastime
have the fans been treated to so much
eleventh hour drama as marked the home
stretch drives of the four leading con-
tenders for league honors. Emerging VIC
torious from the last-minute scrambles in
both leagues were the supposedly crippled
New York Yankees and the irrepressible
Brooklyn Dodgers. But supporters OF the
Boston Red Sox and the st. Louis Cardinals
did not give up hope until the last men
were out-for, indeed, they had reason to
hope, the way their teams were doggedly
refusing to give up.
That licking which the Red Sox took
from our giant-taming- Ray Scarborough
on their last visit to washington turned
out to be a devastating blow. For two
years in a row. now, the Boston team has
failed to recover from season-end defeats
administered by Professor Scarborough
and his teammates AL of which causes
the local fans to wonder anew why the
Senators can play like pennant-contender
when other teams are the chief contenders,
but cannot seem to do much contending
for themselves Oh, well, 1850 is another
year and maybe things will be different
Right now the question to, be decided is
which Of the New York teams Is the better,
the Yankees or the Buns?

Days Of Pretty Drilling
Gone Forever.
70 the Editor of the Star:


John H. Moore says the High School
Cadet Corps was started in the good old
days to promote poise, posture, knowledge
Of the proprieties and personalized attention
to boys as personalities.
The setup also no doubt was inspired by
glamorous light opera soldiers behind the
footlights, who inspired men to picture them
selves as handsome stalwarts stealing kisses
from winsome misses, to the lifting accom-
paniment Of Viennese waltz. National
defense was mostly matter of the Quarter
master Corps Counting beans) and Ord
nance Corps (compounding gunpowder). In
cidentally, there weren't any merger diff
culties then: first the men counted beans,
then the same men mixed gunpowder! An
officers requirements consisted of being
gentleman, q scholar and good Judge Of
whiskey. And time stood still.
But them days have gone forever, John.
In these times of highly technical. greatly
stepped-up living, with a Russian wolf wait
ing for the opportune moment to jump at
our throats, 1t is highly impractical for boys
to spend three hours week in useless drill,
carrying guns they can't even shoot, while
Russia trains her youth In every phase Of
war activity over long period Of years!
The reason the sheer grace of God was
the largest factor in our winning World War
II was because many people-some In high
places-still see national defense as it was
In the days Of the Minute Man! I. M.

they want them That this can be done
without weakening national security-and
the Army gives that assurance-is in
dicative of the changing nature of war
fare. The chief future threat to security
will come from the Skies in the form OF
bomb-carrying planes or rockets. Obso-
lete coast artillery weapons would be Of
no help in such a grim emergency.

F. B. D.
A. in the wild state these animals hunted

AS q resident of Southeast Washington,
should like to express my appreciation Of
Robert J. Lewis story. Comeback on Capitol

section Of the Star on Saturday, Septem-
Der II.
When people come to realize the wonderful
potentialities of this area, with its access to
the libraries and Capitol Hill, its broad tree
lined streets and gracious old houses, the
Southeast once again will become choice
residential section Of the Federal City, as
Washington and L'Enfant envisioned it.
When this happens. The Star. because Of
the articles by Mrs. Evans, Mr.. Lewis, Mr..
Douglas, and others, may assume a large
measure Of the credit.
