We Could Do Without 1t

It was no accident that placed the National
Training School for Boys in second place on the
list Of Federal penal institutions urgently in
need of new facilities. Federal Prisons Director
Bennett gave higher priority rating only to
the much-pubicized Rock" the outmoded
prison for hardened criminals on Alcatraz
Island. He said in his annual report that he
would leave the maximum-security institution
where it is-in San Francisco Bay-but that the
National Training School should be rebuilt in
some spot away from Washington or any other
city. He is right. It is becoming increasingly
dificult to maintain an effective program for
rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents within
sight and hearing of so many distracting big
city influences.
Both the buildings and the grounds Of the
old institution are out of date. When the build
ings were new many years ago the site on Bla-
densburg road was far removed from city temp
tations and noises The $40 acres Of rolling land,
like most of that adjoining the reservation, was
devoted largely to farming. Such surroundings
were favorable to the purposes of the school as
a reformatory for boys led astray by the evils
of city lfe Today however, the school is on
one of the more heavily travelled boulevards in
the District and is in the heart Of z congested

Southeast Purkinq Lot

The Star Of May reported the pes
simistic views of certain members of
the Motor Vehicle Parking Agency con-
corning the degree of success to be
achieved by locating a parking lot at
the south end of the South Capitol
street bridge as the first step in WASH
ington's fringe parking program. Their
misgivings as to the. wisdom of expend-
ing the funds necessary to construct a
parking lot at this not-So-fringe loca-
ton are amply justified.
1t is regrettable that The Star did
not give equal publicity to the views
expressed two days earlier by the Wash
ington Highlands Citizens Association
concerning establishment of fringe
parking facilities at this same location.
AS reported briefly in The Star of May
s. the association condemned by unani-
nous vote the choice of the location,
called it extremely nl-advised, and pre-
dicted complete failure for the under
taking. A poll of the members demon
strated that there will be no inclina-
tion on the part of residents of lower
Southeast Washington to use the pro-
posed lot.
There are sound reasons underlying
the position taken by the Washington
Highland Citizens Association. They
may be summarized as follows:

Indo-Chinese Independence

1t may be quite academic to be talking
about independence for Wet Nam and her sis
ter states of Laos and Cambodia. The text of
the proposed treaty between France and Wet
Nam has been published, and the terms seem
reasonable enough. One thing, however, is
certain. There will be no independence for
Indo-China if the Communists emerge as win
nerS of the war.
Granting this Secretary of State Dulles
nevertheless was on firm ground in telling the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee that full
independence for Indo-China must precede any
use Of American troops in the conflict that is
raging there.
The reason is simple enough. The French
have been fighting in Indo-China for eight
years, and the war is going from bad to worse.
Underlying this lack of success is the apathy of
the natives. The indications are that, if any,
thing, they prefer the leadership of Communist
Ho Chi Mini to that of French-supported Bao
Dai. AS long as this condition prevails there
is little if any hope of military victory in Indo
China. And active Intervention by us would
almost certainly be looked upon as a suppress
sion of legitimate aspiration to freedom. 1t is
hard to think of any greater blunder which we
might make in Asia.

How?
The "how to" books never tell you
how. They show how others have done
it, perhaps and especially they love
to tell how famous personages have

UnshockIing Redevelopment

Few persons would mourn the death of the
controversial Phillips amendment to the Fed
eral housing section of the Independent Offices
appropriation bill. News of tte deletion of the
proviSo by Senate subcommittee was espe-
cially welcome here. for it threatens an up
grading type of redevelopment in Southwest
Washington. The House is expected to consent
to the elimination.
The amendment, restricting drastically the
type of improvements planned to replace slum
dwellings, was directed originally at the Colum-
bus Circle redevelopment program in New York
City. It's wording was so broad, however, that
it could have been interpreted as precluding
any new buildings designed to improve the cul-
tural aspect of a blighted community. The
amendment barred any construction not 'nor-
mally essential" to a residential area. This
seemed to rule out au6itoriums, theaters, office
buildings and similar Improvements included in
the Zeckendorf plan for bold" redevelopment
of the blighted Southwest. In fact, the zecken-
dorf firm had warned that it would drop its
plan completely if such a restriction were
imposed.
1t would be extremely shortsighted for
Congress to limit the character of redevel-
opment, here or elsewhere so as to prevent i'm
provements that would transform a dying
neighborhood into an attractive, prosperous
community. The Senate subcommittee was right
In banning any such shackleS on the slum-
clearance and redevelopment program.

On Limitino Tuxicubs

I see by The Star that the Public
Utilities Commission has recommended
to the congressional District Commit
tees that the number of taxicabS in the
District of Columbia be limited.
The Public Utilities Commission, of
course, is the arbiter of matters con-
corning monopoly privileged corpora
tions. Is it also supposed to campaign
for extension of bureaucratic authority
or for more bureaucratic power? Or is
it supposed to merely do what the
law says it should, without campaign
ing on its own for more?
The commission said such limits
would be in the public interest. If that
would mean a reduction to virtually
monopoly basis. why not just turn it
over to the Wolfsons? They surely
know how to look after the public in
terest, as witness Capital Transit!
1t seems that while mass transporta-
ton is juStif1able monopoly. under
franchise regulation, taxicab operation
would seem to be serving sort Of a
mild luxury trade, rather than meeting
a necessity.
Is there any justification for denying
a citizen the right to risk and maybe
lose a couple of thousand dollars in
taxi business than in any other busi-
ness? Meats? Groceries? Haberdash-
cry? Don't the others suffer from
competition, too, at times?
Is it not fact that any limitation
of a legal business is a nauseating
statism, an infringement of the basic
American conceptions of freedom and
free enterprise?

An Old Soldier Speaks

May an old soldier be heard for
moment? have been following closely
the Army Mccarthy hearings, not only
because my own 70 years of asso-
citation with the Army invest them with
special interest for me, but because they
constitute public debate on some of
the fundamental political and moral
principles which are the foundations
of our Government.
What all may result from them in
the end, cannot predict, but one of
their important results so far has been
the focusing Of public attention upon
the person of Robert T. Stevens as
Secretary Of the Army.
I want to stand and be counted as
one who greatly admires Mr.. Stevens
both as man and as public official.
consider him one of the greatest Sec
retarieS the Army has ever had.
1t became necessary to bring out into
the open situation which was Seri-
ouSly impairing Army morale and sap
ping our defensive strength during one
OF the most critical periods in our his
tory. Utterly disregarding his own con-
venience and exposing himself to das-
tardly attack. Mr.. Stevens shouldered
his responsibility with soldiers cour-
age. and in the grueling battle then
Joined he has displayed a soldiers dedi-
cation and soldiers stamina.
I honor him for the stand he has
taken and for the convictions upon
which it is based. I honor him for
adhering to the highest standards of
public service throughout his admins
tration of the Office of Secretary of the
Army. think the Nation should be
grateful that man of his character,
ability and courage occupies that vital
Office today.

points in applying the doctrine Of dip
lomatic recognition in the case Of
China: we have applied the de tacto
principle, you are applying q contem-
porary version Of the legitimacy prin-
ciple.
Before commenting on this there is
question Of timing and circumstances
to be mentioned. Britain recognized
Communist China before the Korean
war began, before Chinese Intervention
in the struggle, before the natural in
dignation to which these events gave
rise. And in the present state of public
feeling it is perhaps academic to re-
mind those Americans who refuse even
to consider recognition of the Com
munist Chinese government, on the
ground of her hostile behavior towards
the United States, that their govern
ment continued to recognize the gov
ernmentS Of Germany and Italy and
Japan when those countries were actu-
ally at war with the United States; and
that, along with most others, their
government recognizes the Soviet Union
today.
Britain has, no doubt, been more
consistent than the UNited States in
its attitude to, and its practical appli-
cation Of, the voluntary act Of diplo-
matte recognition. But as Walt Whit
man said: II am inconsistent? Very
well then, I am inconsistent. I am
large. contain multitudes" And my
countrymen, who are nothing if not
empirical in their thinking, would be
the last to contest friends right to
do what he thinks best in his own
interest.
The important thing is that we
should understand each others posi-
tion in the light of past practice. and
in particular that the present diver
gence should not lead any one to sup
pose that because of it, we in Britain
make different moral judgment about
Communist imperialism than you in
the United States or are any less con-
scious of its threat to our security and
our way Of life.
