For Unity in PIonninq

Residents of the Washington area will hope
that the forthcoming conference of Federal and
District highway and bridge planners will lead
to agreement on single overall highway pro-
gram for the Capital and its environs. There is
little chance of any effective attack on the
growing traffic problem as long as more than
one highway plan exists. AS matters stand now,
there are two master layouts for Washington,
with major differences that have stalled bridge
building, complicated Maryland and Virginia
tie-in planning and confused nearly everybody,
including members of Congress-
The two conflicting plans are sponsored by
two feuding agencies, the National Capital Plan
ming Commission and the District Highway De-
partment. The NCPC is author of the so-called
comprehensive plan" for the development of
the Washington Metropolitan Area This plan,
years in the making, had tact approval of Dis
trict officials in its formative stages, at least
insofar as it's main features were concerned
Before the plan finally appeared in print how
ever, joint traffic survey was undertaken by
Federal, District, Maryland and Virginia high
way authorities. This study of postwar traffic
trends throughout the area became the basis of
an entirely new regional highway plan, embody-
ing some of the principal provisions of the
NCPC program but with some drastic changes,
especially as regards bridges The group advo-
eating the new plan has become known as the
Washington Regional Highway Planning Com
mittee. The recommendations of this commit
tee were aimed primarily at the practical prob
lem of relieving traffic congestion on roads and
bridges in the immediate present and near
future. The NCPC meanwhile has stood by
its original long-range program, with minor
notifications.
1t is this divergence of views as to WASH
ingtons highway and bridge needs that has
developed into the "battle of the bridges" which
Congress has undertaken to bring to satisfac-
tory end. The congressional efforts to date
have not resolved the controversy In the mean
time, there has been a highly welcome move
ment among the planners themselves to rec
oncile, if possible. the differences between the
two groups. Chairman Harland Bartholomew
of the NCPC and District Commissioner Louis
w. Prentiss have taken the lead in this COM
mendable undertaking. 1t has been found, upon
close examination, that the area of conflict
between the two planning groups may not be
as wide as some of the disputants had supposed
it to be- A list of the issues involved is
being prepared for consideration at get
together of all parties to the controversy early
next month. This is a common sense approach
to solution of Washington's mounting traffic
problems. With such an approach, the fervent
hopes of the areas harassed motorists for an
early end to the pickering that is blocking traf-
dc-relief measures may be more than wshful
thinking

To Water or Not to Water

That trait Of rugged individualism that
prompts men to join with each other in
common cause may save the taxpayers $54
million in fiscal 1855.
The common cause in this instance is op-
position to a Federal irrigation job known as
the Missouri Diversion Dam Project in north
eastern Montana. Actually, the landowners
who would be affected are divided on the prof.
ect but it looked like "shoo-in" until the
opponents-a group of dry-land wheat farm
ers-organized a protective association and
came to Washington to lay siege against Con-
gress and the Bureau of Reclamation. The
opponents argue, in brief. that they raise pre-
MUM wheat by dry-land methods and that
irrigation would lower the quality of their
production and the value of their land. The
bureau, retreating in some dismay from what
it thought was desired and desirable part Of
a long-term regional development plan, cur
rently has dropped the item from it's program
unless or until the area residents form an
Irrigation District-an undertaking which re-
quires local initiative and majority support.
Obviously there are two sides to the ques-
ton of whether the project should be carried
out-some want it and some don't-but 1t
seems to have taken lot Of loud and organ
lied protest to make anybody in Washington
listen to q planr for not spending $54 milliQn.

Mr.. Nehru Bars the WAY

The closing of Indas air lanes to American
craft flying French relief forces to Dien Bien
Phu permits of but one conclusion: It is a
policy which, in some degree, helps the Com
munsts and Injuries those who are fighting for
freedom
The practical effect is to compel the huge
American GlobemasterS ferrying paratroopers
from metropolitan France to Indo-China to fly
about 1900 additional miles in order to bypass
India. This causes delay and increases the flying
risks. But it is not apt to have decisive effect
on the gallant fight to save beleaguered Dien
Bien Phu.
The distressing thing is that Prime Minister
Nehru should support a policy which gives aid
or comfort in any degree to communism. The
fall of Dien Bien Phu, while not in itself con-
elusive, would deal severe blow to the diplo-
matte efforts of the West and to the defense
of the rest of Indo-Chi IfIndo-C China should
be lost, Southeast Asia probably would go. And
If the Communists should fasten their grip on
Southeast Asia, they soon would be knocking
at the door of Mr.. Nehrus India.
In the face of this, it is hard to understand
his seeming sympathy for the Communist
cause Perhaps he is basically on the side of
freedom, but feels that he must, for political
reasons, make these concessions to the Commu-
niSts in his India. If this is the case, those
who advocate continued American financial aid
to India should have their arguments in good
order when next they appear before the ap-
propriation committees of Congress. For this
Is supposed to be program of mutual aid, but
as Senator Bridges has suggested, there is little
evidence of mutuality. In view of Mr. Nehru's
performance, who is being aided by the many

This small tree possibly might be
grown in Washington, If protected from

be devised to keep it from freezing.
There are many tropical plants that

taken in handling them.
Most of them require certain soil
conditions which too often are not met

All in all, the average local gardener
would do well to let such material alone.
There are. after all, enough plants to
suit every one. things that grow well
here. and do not require special care.
After all, what better flowers, for

It is here as with the birds-what
better birds has Florida than the chick

Shameful Story on Housing

It is sordid and cynical story that has
been told thus far in the Senate investigation
of the Federal housing scandal Builders and
lending institutions, plus what one witness
described as "the hoodlum, the racketeer and
the bunko man." appear to have picked up
millions of dollars of easy profits" by taking
advantage of loopholes in the law and an
aStoniShingly casual attitude on the part of the
Government agency itself.
The few hearings that have been held thus
far before the Senate Banking Committee have
not yet provided enough information for a
final determination of who or what is fully
responsible for this shocking record. There
has been enough, however, for Chairman Cape
hart to remark that pattern" has been re-
vealed and that one of its features is that the
FILA doesn't give damn" about the windfall
profits picked up by real estate operators and
has not considered itself in any way response
BILE for the welfare of the home purchasers.
Assistant Attorney General Olney sup
ported this opinion in accusing the FILA of
allying itself with the lenders and builders
rather than the purchasers or renters Mr..
Olney made a further serious and more ex-
plicit charge when he told the committee that
the housing agency had "torpedoed" any
chances of Government prosecution of specu-
lator-builders who had obtained highly profit
able loans after giving false cost estimates to
FILA. The agency has done this, Mr.. Olney
explained, by insisting that it disregarded the
outside estimates and was not being defrauded
by them.
1t is sad commentary indeed on how laws
may be drawn and administered if it is a fact
that these tens of millions of dollars of profits"
have been pocketed by INSCRIPTIONS dealers
with no ground for prosecuting anybody The
series of suspensions, designations and dismis-
sails from the FILA is far from complete and
satisfactory solution. The fact that the law may
have been loosely drawn or that the Government
itself has not lost any money does not excuse a
racket" in which Federal agency has, in effect,
acted as middle man in taking this vast amount
of money away from the home purchaser or
renter and giving it to the smart" dealers.

The Soviet-AustroIion Break

There was a time when the severance of
diplomatic relations was viewed as a serious
and even alarming development, bringing the
states involved close to the brink Of declaring
war on each other. But in these days. as for
many years past, such breaks-like the one that
the Soviet Union has just forced between itself
and Australia-are generally much less ominous
than they used to be. Indeed, especially when
initiated by the Kremlin, most of them may
be regarded as being little more than propa-
ganda maneuvers face-saving devices or kind
of blackmail
It seems clear enough, at any rate, that
the break with Australia has been effected
primarily to create diversionary snnokescreen
designed to cover up the acute embarrassment
caused the Kremlin by Mr.. and Mrs. Vladimir
Petrov. Mr.. Petrov, who appears to have been
a key Soviet espionage agent, has sought and
received asylum from the Canberra government,
bringing with him to the free world docu-
mentary material bearing upon the interna-
tional Communist conspiracy. AS for his wife
"a cipher clerk in the Russian Embassy-she
has been reunited with him after having been
rescued at the last minute from couple of
gun-toting Red diplomatic couriers" attempt
ing to fly her back forcibly to the U. S. s. r.
AS result these two disenchanted servants
of the Malenkov regime, both grateful for their
new-found liberty and for Australia's protec-
tion, are now in position to make potentially
important revelations. And hence Moscows
swift decision to sever relations and becloud
the picture with a note of protest promptly
rejected by the Australians-giving a totally
false version of what has happened.
Thus, according to this version, Mrs. Petrov
has been kidnapped" by Australia, and Mr..
Petrov-whose detection was also described as
a kidnapping" when Soviet officials first heard
of its criminal" who has "embezzled"
funds from the Russian Embassy. So the
Kremlin, with a great show of outraged in
nocence, has broken with Canberra and de-
manded that the two be returned to Russia
forthwith-a demand accompanied by threatful
indications that Australian diplomats in Moscow
may be held as hostages. But everybody can
be calm. War is not going to follow. In taking
this course, the Malenkov regime has merely
done it's best-which is none too good-to divert
attention from its very red face.
