Aqoin Thot 'Liyed-in' Look

It is good to know that the White House is to
take on that 'lived-in" look once again. Blair
House served well as temporary home for the
presidential family, but there was something
depressing about the three-year vacancy which
existed at the historic premises across the street.
The return of President and Mrs. Truman to
the rebuilt mansion is a significant event, for it
marks a new lease on life for a venerable struc-
ture that has become symbolic OF traditional
American democracy. New strength and vitality
have been infused into the 157-year-old building.
which was on its last legs when the Trumans
moved out of it in November Of 1948. Engineers
who probed its innards were amazed that it had
stood as long as it had-through "force Of habit"
as one architect put it.
Now it is ready for another long stretch Of
service as home OF Presidents, hospice for
distinguished guests, a place for state ceremonies
and an object of admiration and curiosity by
sight-seers In short Washington has returned
to springtime normalcy with the White House
again living part of the traditional scene. The
picture is an altogether pleasing one TO WASH
ingtonians and visitors alike. &

Chevy Chase Community Building

It is very discouraging indeed to think
that Congress and the Commissioners
in their frantic quest for revenues would
think in terms Of taking away from the
people Of Chevy Chase their community
building, which after all is an old, previ-
ously condemned school building. It
would be pretty shoddy thing to do.
A group of citizens of Chevy Chase
about i've years ago fought long and
hard to get this old building dedicated to
community use; and keep in mind this
is the only community building in
Chevy Chase. Other communities have
nice buildings to house such activities
but Chevy Chase has been, happy to
have the use Of this building. 1t must
be borne in mind that the community
which this building serves pays into both
the Federal treasury and the District
treasury taxes In an amount which per-
haps exceed comparable taxes paid In
other sections of our town, and certainly
we are entitled to some consideration
and concern on the part Of our local
government, as well as the Federal au-
thorities. The teen-agers, Of Chevy
Chase, the adults and the tots are en-
titled to have some place to gather, some
place tc call their own.

is. therefore, unfortunate that the list Is
misleading in number Of its entries.

taken from Birds of the Washington,

which was published by the Biological
Society Of Washington in 1929. Mr..

has been very common In spring for sev-
eral seasons. On the other hand, the
Connecticut warbler, which Mr.. Trace
well lists as a likely arrival about April
so, Is almost unknown IN the spring. and
the few known specimens were, for the
most part, taken well toward the end Of
May Also very rare in the spring is the
Philadelphia vireo. which Mr.. Tracewen
predicts we should see about May 8.

gray-checked thrush about May 10. and
for Bicknell's thrush about May II. but
he neglects to tell us that the two birds
are indistinguishable In the field. They
are both Of the same species and must

Dear Sir:

to the District Of Columbia
This statement is hardly confirmed
by the record. In 'Avifauna Colum-

and published in 1888, the robin is said
to have been most abundant during the.
months Of March and November. and

''Mr. TraceWell says that robins are
very cleanly. having evolved one sanita-,
ton method which, as far as we know,
is unknown to other species He then
describes how the mother bird tosses the
excreta Of the young it Of the nest, or
sometimes swallows
.If Mr.. Tracewell would consult

SenseIess Budget Cuttinq

prime example of senseless budget cutting
was provided by the House Appropriations Com
mittee when it blindly chopped $682 600 from the
Districts highway and bridge estimates for fiscal
year 1858. The action does not make sense
because it is in direct conflict with the COM
mittee's earlier decision to grant all the money
asked by the Interior Department for speeding up
completion of the Baltimore Washington Park
way The highway fund reduction If finally ap.
proved by Congress, will seriously delay the park
way project for much of the Saving" will be at
the expense Of bridge and road projects directly
related to the parkway
More particularly, the economy move would
be serious setback to progress on the East
Capitol street bridge, on the New York avenue
and South Dakota avenue extensions and on the
Kenilworth avenue paving project. All of these
improvements are being timed to coincide with
completion of the Washington Baltimore Park
way as far as the District line They are major
part of the Districts share in the parkway UNDER
taking. If the parkway program is to be speeded
up. the District projects should be accelerated,
too-instead Of slowed down. Otherwise the park
way traffic will run into intolerable bottlenecks
rs it reaches Washington.
The proposed cuts would be double blows
because they would mean the withholding of
equivalent Federal-afd money earmarked for the
new bridge over the Anacostia and for the New
York avenue and South Dakota avenue work. Thus,
the 100000 slashed from the East Capitol street
bridge fund actually means that an additional
100000 of matching Federal money would not
be available in fiscal 195S-a total deficiency of
100000 that would upset the whole construction
schedule for the bridge. Similarly the 100000
sliced from New York avenue and South Dakota
avenue projects calls for the Withholding Of like
sum from the Federal-aid-to-roads fund
If the House committee seriously wants to
expedite the Baltimore parkway, it will quickly
reconsider its anomalous cutback Of funds for the
Districts part Of the project-the provisions of
adequate approaches to the city Certainly the
House will want to know why the committee
favors completion Of the parkway at the earliest
possible date, but is content to let the vital con-
Meeting links at this end of the expressway lag
far behind schedule. It will take lot of explain
ing to reconcile these conflicting decisions.

No Shortcut to Solution

The Metropolitan Area Transportation Com
nittee is right in calling for an orderly approach
to solution of Greater Washingtons complex
transportation problems. There is no shortcut
available, as Chairman Johnson Of the Senate
Commerce Committee has pointed out. And that
holds true with respect to Senator Johnson's
bill to create transportation authority for the
Washington Metropolitan Area. It would be
rushing things to press for passage of such
legislation until a thorough, expert study had
been made of that proposal and of similar ones
that have been advanced in recent months.
AS a matter of fact, it would take several
years to establish any sort of new interstate
regulatory body. More than passage of bill
by Congress would be necessary. As in the case
of pollution control, a compact would be required
among the various governmental Jurisdictions
involved-in this case the District Of Columbia,
Maryland and Virginia. The next meeting Of
Virginia's General Assembly will be held in 1854
so that at least two years would have to- pass
before Virginia could give the plan legislative
consideration. And neither Congress nor the
two legislatures would be likely to approve SO
drastic proposal unless adequate study Of
the far-reaching ramifcations and implications
of the plan had been undertaken by a.competent
authority.
One way of launching such study would
be through establishment Of an inquiry COM
mission of the sort suggested by Representative
Sasscer OF Maryland in a pending bill Mary
land and Virginia would be represented on the
commission, which would be directed to cover
q broad field Of interjurisdictio relations in
the Washington area. The commission would
be more effective If it had the Endorsement Of
the Maryland and Virginia Legislatures IS well
as Of Congress, but that too, would delay action
for at least two years. 3
Another approach has been proposed in the
Byrd-Robertson bill, which would direct the
Interstate Commerce Commission to make q
comprehensive investigation OF regional transit
aproblems and submit its findings and recon-
@nendations to Congress. Apparently the ICC
already has the power to make an inquiry OF
this kind but 1t lacks the stan and the money
to undertake the job. Therefore, II Congress
should decide to give this unusual assignment
to the ICC, the necessary stan and funds should
be provided. Out Of such an investigation con-
ceivably could cone novel concept of regional
transportation control in the form, OF . WASH
ington Metropolitan Area Public Utilities Conn
mission. This is not . new idea, Of course, but
It grows more interesting as Washingtons transit
troubles continue to multiply.

Notionoiisn1 VS.. Economics

The withdrawal of two American oil COM
panies from all or part of their operations In the
Argentine, and of one OF them from Egypt, directs
attention to condition in the worlds economy
today that has disturbing implications.
The Texas Company and Socony Vacuum are
selling their wholly subsidiary in the
Argentine to the Buenos Aires government, de-
scribed in news reports as reluctant purchaser.
socony Vacuum is winding up its oil-development
work in Egypt. The reasons in each case are
found in the complex of restricting national
laws-limiting the amount of income which can
be converted into dollars requiring certain per-
certage of local ownership, requiring employment
of local labor and otherwise depriving the opera
tions of the freedom of action which makes for
efficiency and profit.
The circumstances which brought these de-
velopments in the Argentine and Egypt are not
confined to these two countries. They exist IN
Iran where the oil industry has been shut down
for some six months, and in Guatemala. where
the United Fruit Company and its demonstrating
industry have their backs to the wall. They
existed in Mexico when American oil properties
were appropriated many years ago.
Basically, they arise out OF form OF ex-
treme nationalism that becomes short-sighted
when it reaches the point of driving out foreign
capital. It would not be disputed that foreign
investors, Americans included, have sometimes
behaved badly in these countries. They have
reached greedily for excessive profits without
regard to conservation of natural resources, have
been blind to local interests and have driven hard
bargains with respect to royalties or other means
of guaranteeing fair return to the countries OF
ownership These practices have been on the
wane, however, and the smarter companies deal
ing with the smarter governments have in recent
wears worked out more equitable terms Of opera
ticn. Where this has been done, both parties have
benefited.
The economy Of the world today depends
