Official comment was on the
basis of news reports from Ban

not recognize Red China. an Off

Formosa problem would have to
come through another govern

Communists. such as Britain.
Officials Due in Taipei
The Chou proposal came as
two high American officials were
flying to Taipei to talk with
Chang about the Formosa stu
alton. The two, Admiral Arthur
Radford, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. and Assistant
Secretary of State Walter Rob-

to bring peace to the world.

an ally in the Free Republic OF
China (Chiang Kai-shek's Ma

United States would insist on
Free China's participation as an
equal in any discussion concern

IF Communist China is sin

vious steps it could take to clear
the air considerably and give
evidence before the world of Its
good intentions.
Suggested Steps

American prisoners, including
about 40 civilians.
8. Accept the long-standing
invitation of the United Nations
Security Council to appear be-

Just then the wind gave a great
"whoost," and open flew the easement
windows in the Jones kitchen.
1t was the first time in rs years that
such thing had happened.

expression on his face and a hammer
in his hand, to bang the windows back
again into the proper adjustment.
Wind is nothing to monkey around

The more he pulled and banged, the
harder the wind blew.

Jones recalls that about 80 years
ago, small twister struck Silver Spring,
blowing off the roofs of six houses.
Then, another time, when Jones lived
in Georgetown, smaller wind went
right over that mmunity-resident
so saw it go-and struck the brick
house at the corner of Massachusetts,
avenue and Twentieth street.
The wrecked railing or battlement
around second-story window was
there for many years, to go only when
the whole house was torn down.
Every autumn the wind makes itself
known to the Joneses.
It begins to rattle the west window
in the attic.
Jones will retire and be just about
ready to go to sleep, when it will begin.

A Sure Hand in Iran

The slow revival Of 1ranian political
and economic stability has been transferred
to good hands with the selection of Hussein
Ala as Premier. The former Ambassador
to Washington succeeds General Fazollah
Zahedi retiring because of poor health
after 20 months of constructive effort to
rescue his country from the troubles which
developed under the extremely nationalistic
Premier Mossadegh
The path ahead shows genuine promise
for Iran. Settlement of the long and costly
stalemate arising out of naturalization Of
the country's Oil industry and resources is
restoring the most important single source
of revenue to the government and assuring
the economy foundation for recovery.
This in itself is contributing to new polit-
ical tranquility in the country. The current
orderly transfer of the premiership is in
striking contrast to the violence and near
anarchy that prevailed between 1850 and
1858. The fact that Oil companies of four
Western powers, including the United
States, are Joined in contract to operate
the Iranian properties makes closer and
more friendly the relationships with the
West. The Communist Tudeh Party is not
now serious menace.
In his long political and diplomatic
career, Mr.. Ala has been a staunch friend
of the West and an effectively courageous
fighter against communism. 1t has been
predicted widely that Iran eventually will
join in the Communist defense alli-
ances that Turkey has negotiated with Paki-
stan and Iraq. This development may be a
step nearer with Mr.. Alas promotion.

The National Capital Planning Com
missions stand on the issue of Potomac
bridge VS.. Potomac tunnel is sound one.
It has approved bridge. It will study and
perhaps approve tunnel, If the plans for
it are submitted. But it will take no part
In deciding whether, in view of certain
esthetic considerations, Congress should
spend $28 million more to dig tunnel than
1t would cost to build bridge. That de-
cision it is willing to leave to others.
The esthetic considerations-now valued
at $28 million-involve the proximity of the
proposed Constitution avenue bridge to the
Lincoln Memorial and the Memorial Bridge.
The Fine Arts Commission believes the
bridge would be an intrusion on the setting
of both. One reason the proposed new
bridge would be so near the Memorial
Bridge is that, if its site were moved up
stream, the bridge would then "intrude" on
the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Island.
There are a great many people who
prefer beautiful bridge to tunnel, and
who do not agree that bridge would injure
the setting either of the Lincoln Memorial
or the low-lying island presented to the
United States as memorial to great and
progressive President. If we have $28 mil
lion to play with, spending fraction of it
to remove the hideous temporary" build
ings defacing the Lincoln Memorial and its
surroundings in West Potomac Park would
be more appropriate than spending all of it
to burrow under the river.

Why Hunt Elsewhere?

Abandonment by the Central Intelli-
gence Agency of plans for building ''little
Pentagon" near Langley, Virginia, opens the
way for serious consideration of possible
site in redeveloped Southwest Washington.
It is reported that the CHA is yet to be
"sold" on the Southwest location, largely
because of a fear that traffic dif11culties
would be encountered by its employees.
Traffic problems-and more particu-
larly the likelihood that the Federal Gov
eminent would have to pay for solving them
were behind the decision to look elsewhere
than Langley for CHA headquarters site.
It is said that among other locations under
study are Arlington Hall, present home Of
military security agency, near Arlington
boulevard and Glebe road, in Arlington, and
a tract of land in Alexandria at Shirley
highway and Seminary road. Anybody who
has had to contend with present rush-hour
traffic congestion on both Arlington boule-
ward and Shirley highway can testify that
there would be some king-sized trafic
troubles for CHA in either Of the aforemen-
toned locations.
Under the Zeckendorf plan, as tenta-
lively approved, provision Is made not only
for Federal office center in rebuilt South
west Washington but for adequate traffic
approaches, tied in with Potomac bridges,
downtown Washington and the Southwest
Freeway-part of an inner belt around the
congested district. It would be surprising
II the CHA building could not be accommo-
dated in the Government center envisioned
for the new Southwest.

Sweet and Sour

Inc hreuluu mas staged q ullASQ pIUP-
uganda show of apparent Cancellation and
toughness in its latest moves regarding an
Austrian settlement and Russia's 20-year
treaties of friendship and alliance with
France and Britain. In the one case, there
has been display of sweet reasonableness.
In the other, kind of sour threatfulness
has been suggested. And the two things,
taken together, seem to add up to an effort
to befuddle the West with simultaneous
demonstration of Soviet charm and Soviet
intimidation.
Thus, as far as Austria is concerned,
Foreign Minister Molotov-on the eve of his
Moscow talks with Chancellor Raab-has
personally declared to the top representa-
tives of the Western Big Three that he
would regard as unjust any further delay
in concluding an independence treaty for
that country. Further, piously ignoring the
fact that all the past delay has been caused
by Soviet intransigence, he has expressed
the "hope" that completion Of such treaty
will be possible lin the nearest FUTURE
statement indicating that the Kremlin,
after having reneged for the past 10 years
on its pledge to restore freedom to the
Austrians, may at last be willing to sign an
acceptable settlement.
However, lest anybody think that the
Soviet Union is getting soft, the Foreign
Ministry in Observation-Disclosures with
Mr. Molotov's remarkS-has issued a state
ment declaring that the Kremlin has called
upon its rubber-stamp parliament to an
null the treaties with France and Britain.
There is nothing surprising, of course, about
this action, nor does it seem to represent
more than retaliatory propaganda ges-
ture. After all, the two pacts-which were
worked out during the Second World War
have been rather meaningless things for a
long time past. And their abrogation has
been expected ever since the Russians first
warned that they would scrap them, by way
of reprisal, If the French and British rati-
fled the Paris accordS on arming West Ger
many.
Actually, this abrogating action prob
ably will be followed by other moves along
the same line. These are likely to include
snowy measures to carry out the Kremlin'S
empty threat (empty because the thing
already exists to organize Red military
coalition against the hostile" and "aggres-
sive" Atlantic alliance, which is now to en-
brace the West Germans. AS matter of
fact, despite the seeming conciliatoriness of
Mr.. Molotov's statement on Austria, nobody
should be surprised if Mr.. Raab's visit to
Moscow turns out to be fruitleSs For the
truth is that there is as yet no real evidence
that Soviet policy is any more sweet or any
less sour than it has always been, and the
unclaimed and unintimidated free western
world must govern itself accordingly.

A Stond Now?
1t is already past the eleventh hour
in the Far East. Every cease-fire in
the past has meant gain for the
Communists. We cannot risk further
loss of face, friends and allies in the
Far East. Somewhere we must take
stand. 1t had best be now, while there
is yet little time. The fate of our
children and our children's children
for thousand years or perhaps for
ever depends on us now. There is only
one thing to do: We must defend what
is left of the free world in Asia now.
Some observers speak of our policy
becoming subservient to Chang Kali
shek's aim in China. Even if that were
true (which is ridiculous). would that
be worse than being subServient to the
aims of the Communists as we have
been in the past?

Keep the Record Straight

A unanimous Second Circuit Court Of
Appeals has upheld the recently enacted
immunity statute in the case Of William
Ludwig Ullman, and the legal question in
volved now moves on to the Supreme Court
for final determination.
Chief Judge Charles E. Clark wrote that
he concurred in the decision, "but regret
fully" His regret presumably grew out of
his belief that the immunity statute tends
to dissipate the Fifth Amendments guar
which still awaits final adjudication.
Chief Judge Clark, however, also wrote
this: Practically, we know, no formal i'm
munity can protect minority deviator from
society'S dooms when he departs from its
norms -. . Convictions SO obtained "a pos
sible conviction of Ullman for perjury and
punishment thus decreed cannot satisfy
either the needs or the theology of a demo-
cratic country committed to respect and
liberation for dissident minorities."
1t is hard to see how this rhetoric could
have any application to the real case against
William Ullman. A former Air Force major,
Ullman was brought before Federal grand
jury investigating Washington wartime
espionage ring. Although granted immu-
nifty under the statute, he twice refused to
testify.
If this, in fact. did not grant him i'm
munity from standardization, his con-
viction for contempt of court cannot be per-
mitted to stand. But this does not mean
that Ullman is minority deviator," nor
that his case has anything to do with the
liberation of "dissident minorities."
