Another Bridqe Delay

Now that the bridget tunnel queS-
tion apparently has been resolved by the
administration in favor of bridge, an
other hitch has developed. The bridge
site issue has been reopened in way that
could produce further poStponement of
relief for present Potomac River bridges.
The President and Congress ought to
cooperate in preventing another pro-
tracted delay. Further dilly-dallying
over central area crossing would i'm
pair WashingtonS chances of obtaining
funds this year to begin construction of
the long-needed span.
guarded statement by Commits
Sioner Spencer indicates that the tunnel
proposed by the Fine Arts Commission
and the Interior Department for esthetic
reasons has been ruled out-presumably
by the Budget Bureau because of added
cost. But the Fine Arts Commission still
is opposed to a new bridge close to the
Memorial Bridge and the Lincoln Memo
rial And the Theodore Roosevelt Memo
rial Association still is opposed to bridge
over or near the downstream tip OF
Theodore Roosevelt Island, as contem-
plated by the District Highway Depart
ment in its E street plan. Perhaps the
arts group and the memorial body can
be induced to accept another location
for bridge farther upstream, but below
Key Bridge. It is understood that en-
gineering studies toward this end have
been undertaken, with view to report
within 10 days.
This is a rather short time in which
to investigate the feasibility of bridge
sites between Memorial and Key Bridges
not already considered The effort is
worth making, however, for the District
budget is pending and unless decision
can be reached promptly another years
delay will be in prospect. That would
be most discouraging development for
those who have waited so long for settle
ment of the bridge controversy.

the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh and
moving through experimental kitchens
and taste-testing panels. have gone into

Power Failure Ahead?

Splitting basically along partisan
lines, the House Appropriations Commit
tee has voted to diSapprove presidential
request for SOS million to build trans
mission line for DixonYates power to
the Tennessee Valley system. Actually,
this is maneuver designed to compel
the President to abandon the Dixon
Yates project, on which work has started,
in favor of new steam generating plant
for iva.
There is no need at this time to re-
view the pros and cons of the Dixon
Yates argument. 1t should be pointed
out, however, that this action by the COM
mittee poses a fundamental issue.
The iva plant which the Democrats
advocate would be built at Fulton Land
ing-which would extend iva operations
beyond the Tennessee Valley area. This
is strongly opposed by the President. His
view is that the additional power, which
everyone comedies will be needed, should
be channeled into the iva system from
the Dixon-Yates plant at West Memphis,
Arkansas, a private industry operation.
On this point, most of the Democrats in
Congress and the President are as far
apart as the poles.
1t is worth noting, however, that the
Democrats on the House Appropriations
Committee admit that the area involved
is faced with serious power shortage,
and that without some new generating
facility defense needs will suffer severely.
This being the case, the House as a whole
should take long look at the specious
arguments which have been raised
against the Dixon-Yates project before
voting finally on the $6.5-million item.
Is it desirable, for some fancied partisan
advantage, to hamstring the Dixon
Yates project in order to expand IVA,
which means public power, far beyond
its original concept? Is it wise to force
partisan fight with the President which
may very well result in critical power
shortage for everyone in the affected
area?

Japanese Trade Deal

The Japanese United States trade
agreement, first between the two coun-
tries in the 21-year-history of the recip-
rocal trade program, is major step
toward economic "rearmament" of the
island empire. For the guarantees of
favorable and continuing export mar
ket in this country for long list of Jap
aneSe products automatically strengthen
Japan against the growing temptation,
and almost need, to improve trade and
political ties with its Communist neigh
borS on the Asiatic mainland.
While the agreement just signed is
essentially two-nation pact, nearly
score of other countries joined in COL
lateral arrangements that should prove
beneficial to Japans export trade. I'M
proved tariff treatment is promised
Japan on goods and commodities that
accounted for 40 per cent of its overseas
commerce in 1858. Our own Government
granted what the State Department de-
scribed as moderate reductions" on such
products as cotton textiles, chinaware,
toys, chemicals and certain optical goods.
Our 1854 imports in the affected cate
gories totalled SITE million from all
countries, of which about $130 million
came from Japan. In return, Japan has
granted to the United States tariff reduc-
tions on goods which were exported to
that country in 1858 in total value of
1897 million.
Helpful as this agreement may be
to Japan, it is hardly final and complete
answer to the empires economic prob
lens. The foods and raw materials that
are available in neighboring Asiatic
countries, some Communist and some not,
will become increasingly essential to the
overpopulated islands. So will their
markets for Japanese goods. These, as
Chairman George of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said recently, are
the ancient and natural markets" in
which Japan may be expected to trade.
But with long-term understanding now
reached on Japanese trade opportunities
here, and with the way cleared for Japan
to become party to the General Agree
ment on Trade and Tariffs, the Tokyo
government is in much stronger position
to work out its further commercial rela-
tionships with it's neighbors without re-
gard to political preSsures.

THE POLITICAL MILL
The Farm Situation and 1856
By GOULD LINCOLN

twice q week on the farm prob
lem-a1l angles. Next october.
Chairman Ellender will start
taking testimony from Maine
to Miami, and from Pennsyl-
vania to Portland, Greg. He
plans to start in the North
and work south. But what he
wants is testimony from the
farmers Of every section of the
country-So that when the
committee sits down to frame
farm legislation the first of
the year it will be fully in
formed regarding the views of
the farmers-aS well as of the
trade and the public. One
thing has become entirely
clear. No effort is to be made
to put through the House 80
per cent rigid price supports
bill at the present session.
Also, Chairman Ellender will
urge wheat farmers to vote
for controls under the new
price support-76 per cent of
parity which has been recently
announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Benson for the new
crop.
Drive for Votes
The farm problem-as al
ways-is wrapped up in poll
tics. Some Of the Democrats
figure they can get more farm
Votes by supporting big Gov
ernment bsidies for the
farmers. 1t is clear, however,
that the high. rigid price sup
ports are not the whole answer
even for the farmers. The
prices Of wheat and other farm
crops have dropped since the
close Of the war in Korea
prices which the farmers OBJ
tain-and the drop has taken
place while the old rigid 80
per cent price supports have
been in effect. What no one
has yet been a Bile to state
definitely is what is going to
happen to farm prices and to
farmers under the flexible
price support program.
Chairman Ellender is hope
full he can get favorable action
at the present session on a bill
to iberalize the laws which
govern the disposal of our huge
farm Surpluses overseas. The
State Department at present
won't allow, he says, the sale
of much Of the surplus in for
eign countries because it might
upset the economy of some
other countries. He is working
on a plan which will enable
the sale Of more of our surplus
agricultural crops, and at the
same time the purchase Of
products Of the foreign coun-
tries involved.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

by some human. It may be
that these, finally released, are
the Super-friendly ones.
It is difficult to say, however,
because a bird family seems to
be much as any other family,
there will be a wide variation
among its members. One will
be sullen and aloof, the very
next friendly even to the point
of nuisance.
While there will be a cer-
tain sort Of activity and &C
ton and reaction among a
family Of birds, there also will
be plenty of variations. and
no harm is done, so long as
the hereditary factors remain
primary.
It would not do, for instance,
for all wood thrushes to be so
friendly that they would in
vite the wheels of mowers to
run over them. BY being una
fraid, they would run the risk
Of being caught by the cat.
too.
The thrasher, sometimes
called "the big thrush" is no
thrush at all, but rather be-
longs to the same group that
includes the mocker.
The decline in the number
Of wood thrushes in nearby
suburban areas is something
of a mystery. and causes a real
loss, because there is no pleas
anter bird to have around.
1t helps in the extinction Of
inimical insects, and provides
a picture no artist can paint,
at least we have never seen it
done very well. The painting
by the great Audubon does not
look like our modern thrushes.
Maybe they, too, have changed,
with the passing years. just as
we see human beings have done,
If we look back into some old
photo album of the '80s.
Better and more food, more
exercise may account for the
difference in facial types be-
tween now and the Civil War
days. Can these same factors
be responsible for the different
appearance Of the thrushes Of
today and yesteryear?
However this may be, the
wood thrush is the one we
know best. The hermit thrush
is, for most people. only oc'
casional background music.
Walt Whitman, the poet, wrote
about the hermit. The song is
different, but basically very
much the same: an interesting
time with piano or violin may
be had playing the songs of
the two, thus showing the sim
ilarity at the same time the
basic sameneSs is realized
through finger and ear.

Troqic Date for Battles

June ID is the most tragic
date in the history of the three
Baltic nations. 1t is the day
of mourning for Latvians, Es-
tonians and Lithuanians all
over the world, as in the early
hours of June IA, 1941, Soviet
agents started mass deporta-
tions of Baltic nationals to I'M
known destinations deep in
Russia.
More than 10000 innocent
Baltic nationals, healthy and
sick, young and old, rich and
poor, of all walks of life
businessmen, teachers, clergy
men, workers, policemen and
farmers and farmhands-were
deported to the remoteSt arctic
regions of the Soviet Union.
The total population of the
three Baltic states being 6
million, the percentage of the
Baltic martyrs deported by the
Soviets on June IA. 1941, was
exactly 2 per cent.
The destiny of Baltic and
other Soviet-oppressed nations
today may tomorrow become
the destiny of the free world.
Members of the Latvian
Women's Club of Washington,
commemorating the Baltic
tragedy of June IA, appeal
most sincerely to every Amer
ican woman to remember IN

The farm price support
problem-one Of 1865 most
ticklish and vital problems
from both the economic and
the political points Of VIEWS
undergoing intensive study by
the Senate Committee on Ag-
riculture. The House Demo-
Gratis, aided by some Republic
cans, slambanged a rigid 80
per cent of parity price sup
port bill through the House
and sent it to the Senate. To
the Democratic House leaders
it looked like good politics
and some of them contended
that it was needed to prevent
disaster to the American
farmers and the country. The
Eisenhower Benson program
of flexible price supports was
soon to go into operation.
Senator Ellender of Louisi-
ana, chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Agriculture. is
taking a leading part in the
present studies of the price
support problem. In. his opin-
ion, just a return to the old
80 per cent rigid price supports
for the basic farm crops
wheat, cotton, corn, etc.-will
not fill the bill. Nor does he be-
lieve that the Senate would
accept it. Further, he is sure
President Eisenhower would
veto such legislation, and it
could not be carried over a
veto. In addition, there is
Democratic support in the
Senate for the flexible price
support system, which is going
into effect. The rigid price
supports resulted in tremen-
dous surpluses of wheat, cot
ton and other agricultural
commodities, creating severe
problems for the farmers and
for the Government which has
been compelled to put up
money for these surpluses.
Merely to continue rolling up
surpluSes. financed by hun
dreds of millions of dollars
taken from the taxpayers-in-
cluding the farmers them
selves-is not good business.
Urges New Law
The law must be changed,
the Louisiana Senator says, so
as to encourage farmers to
grow only the grades of wheat
and cotton which the trade
will use. He points out that
the trade will not purchase
considerable percentages of
both wheat and cotton now
but the Government has to,
hence larger surpluses.
