A weary 32-man legislative

listening to a full round of argu-

"Appeal to Open Hearts,"
The Rev. c. c. Scott, colored,
representing the Baptist Min

his finger on the key issue when
he inserted this comment in the
record:
"Since the commission itesli
was appointed to circumvent the

thing as appealing to open

to open hearts,"

Secretary Dulles said foreign

congressional leaders are kept
informed and will be brought
UP to date again tomorrow at
a White House conference.

He said further the public Is
entitled to know the Govern

The Secretary said he did not

would not tell reporters what

out in this connection, the Constitu-
ton prohibits ex post facto laws.

"Dear Sir:
MANY times in the past year
have enjoyed your column. but none
has ever hit quite so close to home as
that recently in which you discussed
the question of cats up trees.
I'VE, too, have a go-up-a-tree-but-
can't-get-down cat. Butch tnee Kitty
Grey and the time and effort spent
on getting him down have been tre-
mendous. We even tried your salmon
method, which, by the way. he scorned.
Five times in four years our feline
member of the family has become
freed, either by being chased by dogs
or chasing squirrels land five times our
collective family hairs got shade
grayer. People who don't like cats
probably think we're crazy because OF
the lengths we go to get him out.

ladder against the tree, shinnied the
remaining Is feet to the cat, grabbed
him to put him in q basket attached to
his belt.
Butch bit the neighbor, the neigh

to eradicate the "insurmountable" 38th
parallel
AS the ROK troops alone were unable
to repel the aggression of the Comr1u
nists in June, 1850. so South Korea
now alone is unable to find solutions
for problems plaguing it. At such a
critical, decisive time as this the CO.
operation OF all nations of the free
world is needed to extend to the Re-
public of Korea material and moral
encouragement
Regardless of unification, the eco
nomic reconstruction of Korea need
not and must not be postponed. I'm
questionably. the first step toward
economic reconstruction is to bring
about an agreement between the
United States and the Republic of
Korea on FAC-UNKRA reconstruction
policies and procedures. The basic
determinant of the reconstruction pro-
gram for Korea is to set up goals for
self supporting Korean economy. A
new, dynamic economic program for
a vast improvement Of the welfare of
the Korean people, leading not merely
to temporary stop-gap relief but to
the sterilization of the economy by
rebuilding on q long-range productive
basis. which itself would eliminate
imitation, is urgently needed.
With so much of Indo-China now
in the hands of the Reds, the political
prestige of the free world is declining
rapidly. while the prestige. military
might and territorial gains of the Reds
are rapidly rising. Therefore, it is an
absolute necessity that there be
strong defense against any threat to
any democratic nation. With the in
crease of Red might, the Republic
of Korea has no alternative but rapidly

How to Get Rid of 'Tempos'

An impressive object lesson in how to
get rid OF war-built temporary structures is
being conducted under auspices of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority. There is
really no mystery about the NCHA success
in this controversial field All that is nee
essary, according to James Ring, executive
director of the agency is to make firm
decision to keep the promises of postwar
demolition made at the time of construc-
ton. There are obstacles to be overcome,
of course-especially the opposition Of those
who do not care if "tempos" become perma-
nent eyesoreS-but the difficulties are not
insurmountable. Federal building officials
could profit by the NCHA demonstration of
effective action.
Certainly the problems which con-
fronted the housing agency were no less
perplexing than those which face Federal
authorities having jurisdiction over the Of
fee tenpos sprawled over the Mall. The
NCHA had to consider the very human
problem of evicting men, women and chill
dren from hinsy structures they called
their homes Mr.. Ring said there were
various suggestions" that the authority
should allow the buildings to remain on
their sites indefinitely. But these pleas
were rejected for two reasons: "a To keep
faith with the people who let us have the
land with the understanding that the
houses erected on it would be but tempo
rary" (2) To restore adequate housing
standards (Since the wartime homes were
erected without regard to the District
building codef." Many of the buildings
already have been torn down and by this
time next year all will have disappeared No
cruelty has been apparent in carrying out
the undertaking.
Compare the positiye-action program
of the housing agency with the relative in
action of the Government in fulfilling it's
pledges respecting the World War I and II
temporary Offices along Constitution avenue
and in West Potomac Park. All of these
: were described as emergency" structures
when planned and all of them were to be
RACED as soon as the emergency ended. But
there seems to have developed a never
ending emergency as far as the tempos are
concerned. Presidential and other pledges
have gone by the boards, as recurrent
moves to do away with the buildings have
been frustrated by claims of a space short
age But these claims have wilted under
pressure of veterans organizations demand
ing clearing of the LIST Division Monument
Site It is possible that additional pres
Sures will result in further whiting. There
is reason to believe, in view of what the
NCHA has accomplished, that the remain
ing office tempos gradually would give way
before an aggressive determination by Fed
eral officials, supported by public opinion,
to rid the city of the war squatterS who
have overstayed their leave.
