Police Strength and Crime

The swearing in of 23 new policemen
recently was indicative of the improved
effectiveness Of the recruitment program
being conducted by the Metropolitan Police
Department over wide area. But the de-
partment is still shy of its authorized
strength by 26 men, shortage that can be
overcome only by system of overtime
assignments that cannot be continued in
definitely. Except for this extra-duty pro-
gram Chief Murray could not have waged
his "saturation" patrol offensive during the
recent wave Of yokings, robberies and other
crimes.
Chief Murray has told the Commission
ers that city Of the size and with the
complex tasks Of the Nations Capital should
have force Of at least $500 officers. The
gain in recruiting suggests that before long
the raising of force Of that strength would
not be too difficult, provided Congress au-
thorized the increase. As Director Hoover
of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation said
In recent Law Enforcement Bulletin the
criminals chances for success increase as
the ability of the police departments to
maintain effective manpower diminishes.
He added: "An inadequate number of police
personnel-inviting the confirmed criminal
and giving encouragement to the beginner
lis condition too often found today"

Highway Among Friends

President Eisenhower has made mod
est request in terms Of money, but timely
one, in asking Congress to appropriate SIS
million for completion within three years
of the Pan-American highway. A COM
parable expenditure had been expected over
a 15-year period, but Vice President Nixon,
after his recent trip through the area, gave
the highway project top priority in pro-
gram for improving inter American rela-
tionships.
Three gaps exist now in the road be-
tween our Texas border and the Panama
Canal. Two are short stretches on which
work had been suspended only because of
political tensions. The third is 145-mile
unsurveyed mountainous right of way in
Southern Costa RIGA and Northern Panama.
Congress has appropriated about $54 million
for the international highway during the
past 20 years. Other participating govern
n1ents have contributed about half that
sum and will be expected to do likewise in
completing the project.
Trade and touriSm provide the strong
est incentives, perhaps, for pushing the all
weather highway to completion. Expansion
of these should lead, however, to improved
political relations in an area that has been
plagued by instability and where United
States policy too often has been described
as one of talk but too little action There
would also be military value, of course, in a
modern highway running from our own
frontier to the Canal Zone. In short, the
whole project is good neighborly' one
Of mutual advantage to all. It should be
supported.

Morxism Down on the Farm

Another indication of the bad state
OF Soviet agriculture can be found in
Pravdas revelation that the Kremlin has
decided to train at least 10000 city-dwellers
to manage third of all Russia's collective
farms.
These collectives, according to Pravda,
are in such a woebegone condition that
extraordinary measures must be taken to
make them efficient. Hence, the $4,000 or
more city slickers-all to be chosen from
the intelligentsia of the Communist Party
are going to go to school to take brief courses
In agricultural matters. Then, after they
have thus learned to tell the difference be-
tween rake and hoe, they will spend
two months actually working on the soil
among the hayseeds Finally, after they
have had that experience, they will become
chairmen of the farms-the top bosses of
the collectivized peasants.
To appreciate the singular nature Of
this project, one has only to imagine what
would happen to American agriculture if
a third of it were suddenly turned over
to the management of dyed-in-the wool
Brooklynites or Chicagoans or Detroiters
with wholly urban backgrounds and with
no more knowledge of farming than that
acquired in exceedingly brief training
courses. Yet this is what the Kremlin has
undertaken to do, with Muscovites and
other citifled Communists, in an effort to
make the Soviet Unions incredibly back
ward collectives at least a little bit less
backward than they are.
Small wonder that RusSia-despite its
Immense intervening increase in population

cattle today than in the time Of the Cars,

Central theme of the So-called Zecken-
dorf plan for redevelopment of a large part
of Southwest Washington is a 300 foot-wide
south mall, along the line of Tenth street
to the water front planning commission
committee proposed an alternative, which
in effect discarded the Tenth street mall
and threatened to ditch the Zeckendorf
plan. At Fridays meeting of the National
Capital Planning Commission, however a
revised plan, not yet complete but retain
ing the Tenth street mall, was tentatively
approved by majority of those present
and voting. So the commission and the
proponents of the zeckendorf plan are that
much nearer a meeting of minds So far,
so good.
Washington needs redevelopment of the
Southwest area, including erection of Gov
eminent buildings and provision of higher
type residential construction, yielding more
tax revenues to the city and attracting res
idents who otherwise may select their
homes outside the Districts borders. The
city's population seems to be decreasing,
with flight to the suburbs. The level of
income-so markedly affecting tax re-
sourceS-iS also on the decline. Without
ace-lifting redevelopment of rundown
areas, too large portion of this beautiful
city is destined for continuing deterioration.
Any effort, therefore, that invites expendi-
ture of public funds and investment of pri-
vate capital in renascence of Washington
is to be encouraged. The Zeckendorf
plan in Southwest Washington holds that
promise.
George Garrett, president of the Fed
eral City Council, man whose experience
In diplomacy may be most helpful, is carry
Ing out the Presidents request to bring the
various agencies concerned with the Zeck-
endorf plan into agreement The tentative
agreement reached Friday may reflect some
progress to his credit. But Mr.. Garrett
would be the first to deny that this tentative
agreement is anything more than starting
point. The vote on Friday did not repre-
sent the full commission membership Thus
far the Southwest redevelopment project is
pictured only in broad outline. great
many details are yet to be presented for
consideration, and these details will involve
more differences of opinion than have yet
been reconciled. Mr.. Zeckendorf is pri
n1arily concerned with making a successful
commercial venture, while doing something
that he believes Is beneficial to the city.
The planning commission is primarily con-
cerned with the protection of important
public interests affecting not only the
Washington community but the Nations
Capital.
The sound and desirable objective, of
course, is to encourage the interest and in
vestment of private capital in Southwest
Washington that serves the public interest
Tentative agreements on broad principles
are encouraging, bolstering hope for definite
agreement on the details. But we still have
long way to CO.
