Water

9. A voter resources prosrom with spe-
cific consideration to: A higher dam ot
Hei's Canyon; the Frying Pon-Arkonsos
project; Nioeoro development; the Upper
Colorado Bosin project; the Washito- -okIo-
homo project; the Venture California
project; the Possamoquoddy tidoI survey
project; New England development project.
Most Of these projects have been
kicking around Congress for years.
There has been a Standoff between
administration supporters, who
think water resources programs
should be smaller and private. and
Democratic leaders, who want the
projects to be bigger and public.
Gov. Hartman, continuing his
politicking in Oregon, blasted the
Republicans on their water policy
last week. He said the G. O. P. was
trying to strangle development of
the West by giving its resources
away to Eastern big business"
Dixon Votes
Meanwhile, Democrats could
claim last week that they had been
vindicated in one charge leveled
against administration water power
policy. 1t was the old Dixon-Yates
deal again. Republicans had said
the Dixon-YateS contract was
merely move to block unwar-
ranted growth of the IVA octopus
and let private enterprise supply
needed power to Memphis, Tenn.
Democrats said it was move to
enrich private power companies at
the expense of the poor mans
friend, IVA. And furthermore,
said the Democrats, it was q
crooked deal.
Last week the Atomic Energy
Commission put the Government
in an awkward position of having
to prove that there was indeed
something illegal about the Dixon
Yates contract.
The contract had been Cancelled
by the President when Memphis
announced it would build it's own
power plant. That apparently left
the Government liable for a several
million dollar payment to the
Dixon Yates combine for breaking
the contract. But the Acc last
week said the contract had been
invalid because of apparent ina
terial violations of the law and
public policy"
Specifically the Acc questioned
whether Adolphe Wenzell, New
York financier, had violated the
"con1ict-of-interests" statute by
acting as consultant on the contract
for the Government while his firm
was advising the Dixon-Yates in
terestS.
Another leading Democratic nom
candidate" Senator Estes Kefauver,
who continued last week to lay
foundation for a public announce
.ment that he wanted to be
President, had tried in a Senate
investigation this year to prove the
Dixon-Yates deal had been illegal
and improper. He said last week
he had been vindicated.
Meanwhile the Dixon Yates group
said it would sue for a payment
on the broken contract, claiming
all had been proper in the trans
action. A suit would force the adj
miniStration to prove in court its
man Wepzell had done wrong-an
interesting little drama for the
coming political season.

The meeting place, IS miles from
the Gettysburg farm where Mr.. Eli
senhower is recuperating, was Sc
cluded enough to please the Pres
ident's security officers and near
enough to satisfy his doctors. But
most of the Washington-b based cab
met officials had an uncomfortable
look when their whirlybirds set
them down on Camp David's base
bali diamond after the bumpy, 35-
minute ride from the capital.
There were no announcements of
what was discussed. 1t was widely
assumed. however. that Mr.. Eisen-
hower's team laid before him the

The Cold Refrain
World news. meanwhile, had a
sickeningly familiar cold-war sound.
The sweet-talking Soviet Union.
washington announced Wednesday,
has set on its largest nuclear blast
ever. In q test believed to have been
conducted somewhere in Siberia.
In India. Soviet boss Nikita Khrush-
chev confirmed this.
In East Germany. Communists
made moves that looked suSpiciously
like a prelude to another Berlin
blockade. The purpose. presumably,
would be to force Western recogni-
tion of the Communist puppet re-
gime. which is the Red sine qua non
for achieving unification of Ger
many. Recognition. of course. would
be the first step toward some East
West coalition government where
the Communists would get power
far out of proportion to the popular
support they command.
In the southern reaches Of the
Eurasian continent, near the Soviet
Unions soft underbelly," a free
world-oriented military defense line,
was being organized at Baghdad,
under British tutelage. To weaken
it, Kremlin Premier Nikolai A. Bul-.

hand in placing Soviet invest
ments, technicians and subver-
versives far behind the line, Last
week they were In India; later they

Their ambassadors are also at work
in Syria. Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Disaster in 10 Years?
Americans also were warned last
week Of another skirmish Of the
cold war now being waged in the
classrooms. Atomic Energy Com
missioner Lewis L. Strauss said last
week that the Reds are getting
such a jump on us in graduating
scientists and engineers that the
outcome could be disastrous for
the United States within 10 years.
Mr.. Khrushchev may have had
this in mind when he boasted in
Bombay last week: 1--WE may have
to wait (to settle some international
issues. We can wait. The wind is
not blowing in our faces. We can
wait for better weather"
The wind. he seemed to think.
was blowing in the Eisenhower
teams faces. That was the situa-
ton as the President stepped back
to the helm last week.

In the United Nations. meanwhile.
Soviet Delegate Arkady Sobolev
rejected a French compromise pro-
posal to get disarmament talks back
on the track. Frances Jules Moch
had proposed that arms inspection,
the principal aim Of the West, and
arms reduction, the top goal Of the
Soviet Union, be pursued simultane-
ously. There was no clear indica-
ton that the United States would
support this idea. But the Soviet
Union made 1t academic "a hours

10. A prosrom to relieve eritieol de-
pressed areas on the bosis Of Federal and
Stete cooperation, including tox measures
to encourage industry; additional public
works; supplementary unemployment in
suronee, ond surplus food gronts.
Both the administration and
Democratic leaders have talked
about a depresSed-areas aid pro-
gram. Mr. Johnson's statement ap-
parently heralds a race between
the parties to do something for
the few stagnant areas which have
not benefited from the general
American prosperity.

Disasters

This became an active issue this

repose during the party in

All three types make DR.. Mann
boot with joy. Just what the
monkeys will do, though, when
they look out through bars
and see their freer, more
clothed relatives doing more
motions in a mambo than a
marmoset can manage, is food
for thought.

The British Embassy will
stage not one, but two. gar
den parties this June and each
will be a jolly sight. The one
that's garnished with straw
berries and cream and fine
spirits. and marks the Queens
birthday will fall as always
on the second Thursday-this
year June 8.
The other that will produce
chic sports clothes midst flow-
cred prints. assuage thirsts
with iced tea and coffee with
ice cream in it, and feature
a tableau lifted right out Of
Wimbledon - will be on the
25th.
On the velvety green grounds
Of the handsome British EN-
bassy that day will be staged
a top-fiight tennis exhibition
between British and American
stars for the benefit Of the
English Speaking Union. Not
only will everybody be speak
ing English, but judging from
the patrons list, they will
speak it with cultivated ac-
cents. Cornelius Van H.
Engert heads the list that
includes the Robert Woods
Blisses, Joseph Crews, Virginia
Bacon and the Stuyvesant
wainwright lis. OF course, the
whole affair will be supervised
by embassy hosts, Sir Roger
and Lady Makins.
Lady Makins Will Play
In fact, the British Ambas-
sador definitely, and probably
Alice Makins. too, will team
up with British and American
champion players for a pro-
amateur doubles. American
Pauline Betz Addie and Brit
ish Mary Hardwick. first and
second-ranking women pros in
the country, have already ac-
cepted the invitation to play
along with Mary's husband
Charles Hare, Wimbledon A.
nalist, and Billy Talbert, cap
tain of ting Davis Cup team, If
he doesn't have to go to VIM
bledon. Jack Kramer is an
other likely participant. The.
Chevy Chase Clubs pro Dan
Watson will umpire.
Besides the Makins, on the
amateur side will be tourna-
ment player Stanley Rum
bough and Special White
House Assistant Charles Mas
terson, who's a nationally
known player.
