The power and influence OF
American diplomacy are to be
tested again. They were thwarted
a week ago when a majority Of
the members of the United Ma
tions. under the leadership of
Great Britain, India and other
British commonwealths as well
as the Arab states, put through
a proposal to negotiate with
Red China on the basis of a
cease fire" agreement.
The United States had sup
ported the move only because
representatives of the other
countries said it was a last
chance and that, unless this was
done, there could not be a
majority vote later for the
American resolution branding
Red China as an aggressor.
The story of the way the
American Governments diplo-
mats were frustrated in the
capitals of the world and how
our delegation at the U. N. was
compelled in a hurry to make
a decision to support the cease
fire" proposal is now academic
except that it illustrates how the
u. N. functions and how vital it
is for the United States Govern
ment to plan it's decisions in
advance so as not to be caught
again with disunity and dissen-
sion about a policy of such
transcendent Importance, when
decision has to be made
quickly.
The report that the Arab
states and India will want to
haggle further with Red China
Is another example of how GER
tain countries, processing to be
interested in peace, are really
trifing with the U. N. machinery
and with their alleged friendship
for the United States.
Gradually India, which has
many friends in the United
States, is being revealed to the
American people through Prime
Minister Nehru as either afraid

Dorothy Thompson:

At his last Thursdays press
conference President Truman
declared he had untrammeled
right to send United States
troops anywhere in the world.
He thus answered the challenge
of Senator Taft and other critics
that he obtain congressional
approval before furnishing
troops under North Atlantic
treaty obligations. The implica-
tions in his remarks were that
he had no requirement to OBJ
tain congressional approval ex-
cept for a formal declaration OF
war, and he has previously de-
clared the action in Korea not
war, but the carrying out of
obligatory U. N. commitments.
If we continue to interpret
those commitments as Mr..
Truman interprets them, it is
unlikely that there will ever
again be formal declarations of
war. All future wars will be
police actions, initiated or re-
strained by the President alone.
We actually do not know on
whose advice the President sud-
denly decided to lead the U. N.
into action in Korea while the
Russians were absent from the
Security Council, whose men,
bers, under the Charter, are
charged with responsibility for
such action, and protected
against it by the veto.
Our spokesmen have fallen
into the habit of referring to
the u. N. as though it were only
that part of the international
organization associated, under
American leadership, to resist
aggression everywhere. BY votes
of countries in the assembly the
United States commands a
majority. However, wars or
police actions are not settled by
majority votes of governments.

but by mobilizable populations,
weapons, and political and
psychological factors adding up
to morale. In terms of these
factors the world. as represented
in the United Nations, is fairly
evenly divided into two hostile
blocs, and the war in Korea is
not U. N. campaign but a
struggle within the U. N. itself.
If Mr.. Truman's viewpoint
on o. N. obligations is, indeed.

|S25,000p Planning Item
For Anacostia River
Flood Control Denied

The House, by voice vote. late
Yesterday refused to add $25. 0OC
to an appropriation bill for plan
ming flood control in the Ana
costa River.
Action came on an amendment
BY Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat. of Maryland, who strongly
urged approval of the fund as
part of the supply bill for civil
functions of the Army.
Approved by President.
Pointing out that the item has
been recommended by the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Sasscer stressed the
project is not local, but of ma
tional Importance, since it affects
Route /, running from Maine to
Florida.
When floods rise, the Mary
lander told the House, automo-
blleS are blocked, luggage is
damaged and even those who
manage to get through during the
early stages of the flood must stop
to have brakes dried out at ga
RACES.
Planning Funds Deleted.
Representative Rabaut, Demo-
crat, of Michigan, in charge of
the bill, opposed the Sasscer
amendment. The measure, he ex-
planned, had been trimmed of all
money for planning civil works
projects.
"How would we look to the
Nation" he asked, ito deny all
other planning funds and allow
this money for a road we are
going to use? Wouldn't it look
fine! Why. it would be the worst
thing we could do"

and the people still were stand
ing around the walls.
No one seemed to know any,
thing definite about the airport
plans, except what reporters could
tell them or what was in the
newspaper.
Then Judge Brown arrived with
a copy of an official notice.
"A great many of you here have
no standing in this condemnation
suit" he said, but you do have
the right to protest as the owners
of property near the airport. You
people will get nothing from the
airport but the noise"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1951-06-14

Judge Brown admitted that his
interest was selfish-he does not
want to give up his historic home,
Birthstone Hill, with 260 acres of
farm land. But. he said, he did
not believe the wisest choice of a
site had been made.
The airport could have been To-
Gated nearer Shirley highway and
would have affected fewer home
owners. Judge Brown said.
1t could have been placed on
nat land near Chantilly-''I don't
believe there's Is acres of fiat land
In the Burke section. It would cost
q fortune to grade and level off
these hills"

Health Institute!
Plan
Under Attack
Bethesda Residents
To Seek Hearing on
Building Legislation

Bethesda residents living near
the National Institutes of Health
plan to make a last-minute ap-
peal for a congressional hearing
on legislation which would clear
the way for erection by private in
tereSts of 250Sapartment units on
the Institutes grounds.
At the same time, the Mont
gomery County Council will at
tempt to have placed in the meas
ure provisionto allow the county
to tax the apartments.
The bill was passed by the Sem
ate yesterday as a rider to the
Federal Security Agency-Labor
Department appropriation bill. 1t
now goes to conference with the
House.
Final Form of Rider.
Originally. the rider provided
that the units be built without re-
gard to local coming limitations.
But in. its final form. this wording
was changed to with regard" to
coming limitations.
County officials pointed out,
however. they have no authority
to zone Government-owned land.
A spokesman for the National
Institutes of Health said no plans
have been drawn for the proposed
housing, but that the project prob
ably would include houses as well
as apartments for the health
center's employees.
Leading the fight for a con-
gressional hearing is William j.
BARNARD. president of the Maple
wood Citizens Association. He said
he is supported by civic groups in
the following areas:
Parkwood, East Bethesda, Alta
Vista Terrace, Oak1nont, Locust
Hills Estates, Edgewood- Glenwood,
Battery Park, Old Georgetown
Road. Northwest Park and Edge
moor.
Mr.. BARNARD said the rider
has never been studied by a full
committee. He said it was sub
fnitted by Senator Chavez, Demo-
crat. of New Mexico as an
amendment to the Federal Securi-
ty Agency-Labor Department bill,
without any public hearings.
Seek to Present Views.
I'VE are trying to get . chance
to testify and present our views"
Mr.. Bernhard asserted.
1--WE recognize that the hospital
center needs housing for it's key
personnel, but we contend that the
method to be used is wrong"
His principal complaint is the
provision permitting private in
terests to build the units. This,
he said, would cost the taxpayers
much more money than if they
were built by the Government.
Mr.. Bernhard claimed that III
hospital personnel lived in private
quarters, they will receive a rental
ranging from $50 toI
$3.50 a month, or. an estimated
$3.50 900 a year for the entire
project.
No such allowance would be
given if the Federal Government
builds the houses, he commended.
1--WE agree with what Congress
did last year. he said. when it
appropriated $1,105,00o to have
the National Institutes build quar-
tiers for it's doctors and nurses"
That money, he explained, was
frozen under the economy act.
Mr. Bernhard also pointed out
the entire area is developed with
single-family homes and that
apartments would reduce home
values and result in congestion
and overcrowded schools.
He added every county agency
concerned with coming has ruled
the area is unsuitable for apart
mentS.
