Those 'Tempos' and Dispersal

Special note should be taken of the promise
of Federal officials that the Government dispersal
program will be accompanied by elimination of
the unsighty temporary office buildings that
mar the Mall and West Potomac Park. Many
similar promises have been made in the past,
but the "tempos' not only have remained firmly
rooted in the parks, but have been joined by
new neighbors. If the latest pledge is to have
concrete results, the demolition requirement
should be made an integral part of the general
dispersal program.
Under the tentative plans for moving some
10000 Federal workers to fringe Office centers
about 20 miles from Washington, thousands
of square feet of office space will be vacated.
About 25, 900 additional employees would be moved
to other cities under the decentralization pro-
gram. There should be ample room, after all
this shifting, for the 5000 or more employees
now working in temporary rented quarters.
Some of the so-called Temporary" structures
date back to World War 1.-The Navy and Mu-
nitions Buildings being prime examples. Other
"emergency' Office buildings and barracks were
erected during World War H. They, too, seem
disposed toward longevity.
There has never been really co-ordinated
effort to get rid of these park squatters. The
National Capital Park and Planning Commission,
the Fine Arts Commission Federal park authori-
ties members of Congress and others have de-
plored the eyesoreS, but always some excuse
has been found to delay their destruction. The
excuses have not always seemed to be good ones
The dispersal program, however, offers hope
full opportunity to get long g-overdue action.
possible hitch is seen in the startling
figures recently released by the Byrd committee
on current growth of the Government establish
ment. For the past several months civil service
rolls have been expanding at the rate of
thousand employees day. At this rate, it would
not take very long to fill up all the space vacated
by dispersal employees and develop an overflow.
Unless some checkren on this phenomenal
growth is devised there may be more tempos
in Washington, instead of fewer.

Since People Will GumbIe

Now that Senator Kefauver pointedly
has demonstrated the widespread illicit
gambling throughout the Nation, would
this not be the appropriate time for con-
sideration of a Government controlled
lottery? 1t has worked successfully for
hundreds of years in many other coun-
tries.
Why should we hide our heads in the
sand of make-believe when we could
finance billions of dollars worth of
needed services legally?

This Doctor May Rebuild Gernoony's Army

he was Chief of Staff of the 5th Ger
man Corps ip the bitter fighting outside
Moscow. He also served at Rostov and
Stalingrad.
Furthermore, his staff experience is
not entirely German. In 1943, as
major general, Speidel was Chief of
the General Staff of the 9th italian
Army. His own impression of this
assignment seems to be that it was
unrewarding, but at least it gave him
the experience of working with soldiers
not of his own nationality. ..
The 53-year-old South German is an
accomplished linguist, with an excellent
command of French and Italian and
good knowledge Of English. Like the late
Field Marshal Rommel, who was his
commander and special hero Speidels
World War I record won him an as
sienment to the small, elite Reichswehr.
which formed the framework of the big
German army of World War II.
In those betWeen-WarS years Speidel
did the same sort of work as occupied
hundreds of promising young officers
in the American Army. While still
second lieutenant, he went on detached
service to the University of Tuebingen,
where he won his doctors degree. In
the early 30s, still a first lieutenant, he
had tour of duty in the intelligence
division of the German General Staff
in Berlin, and served as military at
tache at Paris from 1882 until 1885,
with the rank of captain.
When the German Army began ex-
panding in the late 1930s Speidel ad-
vanced relatively rapidly, though not so
fast as he would have had he been
Junker. on the one hand or Nazi on
the other Like Rommel. he was a South
German with neither political nor old
school ties, and his advance was based
on merit alone.
About year ago, Speidel published
book issued in English translation here
last year under the title Invasion.
1914" While it is interesting for
number of reasons, it is especially re-
markable as a study of the character
of the ideal staff officer.
Traditionally. the staff officer is self
efacing person whose every moment is
lived in the interests of his commander.
Speidel, in this book about Rommel and
our invasion. carries self -effacement to
the point of referring to himself only
in the third person.

Trees in the Mall

There has been recently quite lot of
discussion regarding parking on the Mall.
Although I must confess that I have
not read all the material. am under
the impression that most of the objec-
tions arise from the potential damage to
the esthetic values of the Mall It seems
to me that this could be overcome by
the use of shielding trees-say the pop
lar-which could be arranged to hide
the automobiles and at the same time
materially preserve the beauty of the
area. The use of trees for this purpose
would bring corollary advantages to the
area. such as Observation-Disclosures in
the summer, air publication, and so on.

Bishop Dun Again

In connection with the letter to The
Star Of January 18. entitled, Bishop
Dun's Rightness," I too would like to
add my commendation and would
suggest the reading of st. Matthew,
chapter %, for those who disbelieve the
rightness for his action.
Bishop Dun is true Christian, put
ting into practice the teachings of Jesus
Christ. and may God be gracious unto
the world and let him stay with US so
that his good works may continue.
