The Presidents Job

Some have criticized Eisenhower for

for discussing them thoroughly. AS a

them do 50 to any great extent?

and duties Of the President to d) max

but his recommendations do not con-

only Congress responsible for decisions
on national issues as expressed in law.

Paying for Water and Sewers

ReCent preaKoOWnS IN the water and sewer
systems have helped to bring to public attention
the fact that Washington has outgrown its water
supply and sewage-disposal facilities. Extensive
and expensive capital improvements will be
needed to modernize and expand these facilities
TO meet even immediate and near-future re-
quirementS. The situation is serious enough
70 JUSTIFY the urgent tone Of the report Of the
sewer and water subcommittee of the Citizens
Advisory Committee on Public Works The sub
committee recommended that nearly third Of
the proposed 1919 million publc-works program
be used to improve water and sewer facilities.
II made some good suggestions for raising the
money.
In connection with the financing, frst things
should come first. Any consumers who are not
paying their bills in full for example, ought to
pay up. Washington's biggest water consumer,
the Federal Government, is setting bad example
Tor other consumers. Last year the Federal
establishment used 81 270,OOO worth Of water It
paid only 81 million for this water There is no
equity in fixing ceiling on what the Federal
departments will pay for water, regardless Of
the amount consumed. It is true that the
United States has invested large sums in the
local water System-as matter Of self-intereSt-
but 1t received free water for many years in
return for the investment It has been esti-
mated that the original investment long since
has been repaid in full. It was not until 1913
that the Federal Government agreed to begin
making payments on its water bills. If the
ump-sum type of payment is to be continued.
1t should be made adequate The amount of the
Governments unpaid water bill must be taken
into consideration in any new financing program
Of the type advocated by the subcommittee
This program calls for increased water charges
for everybody, additional borrowing from the
Treasury Ia $23 million Treasury loan already
has been authorizeO and new sewer service
charge
Somehow the money must be found not only
to continue the present water and sewer
Improvement programs but to enlarge them.
For the construction now under way will take
care OF little more than present needs and
those Of the immediate future. The six-year
program now under way, the subcommittee
pointed out, covers "only the barest minimum to
make certain that necessary facilities will be
available to provide adequate and reliable
service at all times" 1t is shortsighted economy
to limit this vital program to short-range faeili-
ties The six-year program must be fitted into
long-range plans for keeping the city's water
and sewer improvements in pace with Wash
ington's growth in the decades Just ahead.

tentions toward India's $50 million peo-
pie. The envoy Is Gasanyihari i. Mehta.

President Truman recently.
Ambassador Mehta has been init
mately associated with free India's
struggle TO modernize its economy since
the country won It's Independence In
1047. His lob here will be to ind private
and Government investors who can help
India expand its basic industries, vital
TO the country's economic advancement.
Next spring the ambassador expects
to travel widely through America to
meet business men who may be inter-
ested In investing In India. He hopes to
stir interest mainly In basic industry in
vestment. India especially needs plants
to produce steel. heavy chemicals, nom
ferrous metals, heavy electrical equip
ment. and oil reflneries. Standard on
already has set up oil reflneries there,
and others are now being built.
Ambassador Mehta has been leader
In Indian business and trade for some
rs years. For 40 years. while India was
under British rule, he was an executive
in the Scindia Steam Navigation Co.,
Ltd. India's leading shipping company.
When India attained its Independence

Near Eastern Tragedy

tragic story of alarming implications was
retold in the report recently issued by the United
Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine
Refugees
No single development since the end of World
War II has contributed so much yeast to the fer
ment of the Near East as the Palestine war. The
Arab countries defeated at arms and feeling
themselves forsaken politically, have nursed their
grievances with an intensity that has affected
both their governmental and public behavior.
The recent overthrow Of the Egyptian govern
ment was traced publicly to resentment by the
currently dominant Army clique at the political
conduct of the Palestine war, the governments
commitment of troops to that war and its lack Of
support for them at home. The political troubles
in Jordan, Syria and even Lebanon are traceable
in part, at least, to the same ISSUE
Probably the most deadening and resented
aftermath of that war has been the presence in
the Arab countries surrounding Israel Of an esti-
mated $4,000 Arab refugees from the conflict.
These are the people who left or were driven
from their homes in what is now the State OF
Israel. They are living today in refugee camps.
short Of housing and clothing and with only
subsistence level of food and medical care.
"The presence Of refugees in host countries
is more than the measurable economic waste Of
manpower and of economic potential" the U. N.
report declared. "The intangible waste in terms
Of lost PRIDE emotional conflict, despair and
hopelessness cannot be measured nor can the
potential danger to the safety and security Of the
Near East be adequately assessed without taking
into account the existence of these factors"
The present program for coping with this
problem calls for United Nations expenditure
Of $3.50 million by the end of 1854. The emphasis
has been and is to be on self-support projects by
which the refugee population would be put at
work where they are or resettled in the Arab
areas where development projects can be initi-
ated to the mutual advantage of the affected
countries and the individuals.
There appear to be two basic obstacles that
are keeping the progress of this program at q
snails pace One is the preference of most OF the
refugees to return to their previous homes, or
land. preference to which they believe they are
entitled largely because of resolution passed by
the General Assembly Of the United Nations IN
December, 194S, supporting the principle OF re-
narration. The second is that the neighboring
Arab countries already are overpopulated or dc
not have available without greater time and ex-
penditures the opportunities for permanent alb
sorption of the refugees on self supporting and
economic basis.
The fact that there are no-normal inter-
governmental relations between Israel and the
Arab states serves to complicate the problem.
There Is no quick or easy solution TO this
tragic and dangerous situation. The U. N. plan
is the best. oat least the most realistic, tHRt has

Arlington Coalition

Arlington ~ooIltlon
Periodically. Government reaches so
low an estate that outraged citizens join
hands to correct it. This seems about to
happen nationally.
It is, therefore. gratifying to read In
The Sunday Star Of September II that
conversations between Arlington Coun-
tvs Republican and Democratic leaders
are being held with view to an open
coalition against the return Of nom
partisan control.
The third, or nonpartisan, party came
into power several years ago as a re-
suit of a campaign for better schools.
Many misguided citizens supported their
school program. voted for non-parti-
san school board in 1916 only to see the
movement degenerate into a political
machine Of the most vicious type. They
built some schools, as any adminiStra-
tion would have had to do. But the cost
has been out Of all proportion to accom-
pliShment.
The non-partisans have never been
numerically strong. polling less than
one-third Of the total vote. This one
third, however, constitutes a solid bloc
Of votes kept in line by q small but pow
erful group Of leaders. Their workers
are fantically dedicated TO the non-par-
tisan program for altering county gov
ernment so as to permit complete county
control under provisions Of the Hatch
Act.
Republican and Democratic opposi-
tion, while twice as large numerically,
has been split between two parties, re-
sulting in non-partisan victories and
minority control. This third-party rule
has changed Arlington from debt-free
county to one which now owes $28
million in bonded debt, or about 5000
for every man, woman and child re-
siding here. And large numbers Of these
are residents Of other States and do not
pay local taxes. In addition, about half
Of Arlington'S tax revenues during that
time have also gone into schools. The
results are discouraging.
A recent State Supreme Court de-
cision removed three non-partisan
members from our County Board. which
seats will be filled at the coming elec-
tions. Under normal circumstances, at
least IL candidates would contest for
these four seats. Voting machines carry
no party designations. Thus, many
voters, faced with such an imposing
array Of names, would ordinarily vote
blindly or not at all, in all probability
again giving the election to the militant
minority.
I am heartened. therefore. by coali-
ton talk. hope party leaders have
the good sense to Join in such a coali-
ton. II they do not, then I hope large
numbers Of voters desiring economical
and sensible Government viii join to-
gether to accomplish the same purpose.
In this way only can we prevent the
ruinous taxation certain to follow
restoration Of non-partisan rule.
