The only National G. o. P.
figure to come into the State this
year-whereas normally several
speakers make Maine trips under
the auspices of the National
committee-has been National
Campaign Director Robert Hum
Iphreys.
He termed the 1854 Muskie
victory "one of the most de-
pressing things have ever seen. :"
He called on Republicans to
do everything possible this year
to prevent Gov. Muskie from
becoming again a display piece
for the Democratic National
Committee.
This years campaign has seen
an about-face in the political
pleadings of the two parties.
The G. o. p, in the past has
had the theme Let's keep the
National and State issues
separate" This year they are
using the Eisenhower needs a
Maine victory" pitch.
1 The Democrats, on the other
hand cut loose from their his
toric position and have beer
asking voters to keep the two
apart. This is a State election
and you will be electing a State
Governor, not the President"
they have said.

This year, while Gov. Muskie

Mr.. Trafton busted off the
Muskie bag of tricks and went
around the State shaking as
many hands, touring as many

No Place to Swim

Fairfax and other commu-
mites around Washington are
badly in need of public SWIM
ming pools. Community club
pools are wonderful for those
who can afford them.
Many motels have built nice
pools, but these are for their
guests only. Were they to let
the public in. their pools would
become crowded.
Fairfax should have a good
public pool. Practically no one
out here in the country knows
how to swim or has had much
opportunity. l should think a
public pool in Fairfax would
pay. When it is too hot to work
in the garden or do any other
work, 1 look longingly at the
motel pools. envy those who
can afford to join the big Fair
fax Country Club pool, and
feel miserable. There must be
many others like me.

Brutal and UnnoturoI

In the joint statement summarizing
their important talks here, Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer and Secretary Of State
Dulles have once again CHALLENGED the
kremlin to demonstrate its good faith-if
any-by making possible Germany's re-
unification as a free country. This may
seem to be repetitious and tiresome to the
leaders Of poSt-Stalin Russia, but 1t is
nonetheless timely and necessary reaf-
f1rmation Of one Of the most important of
all Western policies.
The policy is simple enough in itself
1t Is based on the interchangeable
premise that there can be no real security
and peace in Europe-or in the world. for
that matter-until the people living on
both sides of the Iron Curtain in parti-
toned Germany are allowed to unite as a
genuinely independent nation. At the
Geneva summit" conference year ago,
Premier Bulganin and Nikita Khrushchev
conceded this point without qualification,
and they pledged themselves to CO.
operate with the Western Big Three In
working out an agreement to pull the
country together on the basis of free
elections.
Since then, however, MoscowS "col-
lective leaders" have indicated that they
have no intention of acting in accord
with their Geneva declarations. Instead,
as Mr.. Khrushchev recently suggested to
French Premier Mollet they apparently
are firmly committed to the idea of MAIN
tanning the German partition indefinitely,
If not forever. So here again we have a
striking example of how Soviet deeds Cor
rather lack of deedS) do violence to Soviet
words In short, judging from all the out
ward signs, the Kremlin seems to be as
Intent as ever upon clinging to a policy
that would keep the two GermanyS
divided unless or until the West can be
hoodwinked or worn down into accepting
terms that would reunify the country as a
communized satellite.
Clearly, in these circumstances, Mr.
Dulles and the West German Chancellor
have used fitting language in declaring
that lit will be difficult to place credence
in promises and pledges of the Soviet
government" as long as that government
persists in dishonoring its own word by
refusing to put an end to "the brutal and
unnatural division" 1t has imposed on
Germany. Mr.. Khrushchev and his COL
leagues have only to reverse themselves
In that particular II they really desire to
win the trust of the free world. Mean
while, since they are standing pat on the
issue, they are very definitely not en-
titled TO such trust.

Time to Call q Halt

The National Capital Planning Com
missions effort to slow down the exodus
OF Federal agencies from Washington is
timely and important. The exodus is an
outgroWth of a disturbing tendency in
administration circles to ignore orderly
planning procedures in the search for
new building sites. Commission Chair
man Harland Bartholomew merits the
support of the President, of Congress and
OF the general public in his program for
aiding Federal agencies to find suitable
locations for new buildings within the
District.
How normal planning policies and
procedures are being disregarded of late
is well illustrated in the case of the
Bureau of Standards. The Planning
Commission should be asked in advance
for advice in the proposed reloca-
ton of Government agencies Congress
had in mind this method of advance con-
sultation when it created the commission.
The objective was to avoid haphazard,
unco-ordinated planning of the sort that
preceded establishment of the commits
sion and that brought mistakes from
which we still suffer today But this wise
method was not followed in the selection
of site in nearby Maryland for the
Bureau of Standards And orderly
planning has been bypassed in other
recent instances.
1t is said that the question of site
for the Bureau of Standards did not come
before the Planning Commission officially
until after Federal building authorities
had decided to move the bureau into
Montgomery County. In other words, the
commission set up by Congress many
years ago to insure careful programming

horse procedure of a kind that is raising
serious threat to the city's future
Apparently the policy now is to give
heads of the agencies great latitude in
making their own choice of sites for new
quarters-with little if any coordination
and with no consideration whatsoever as
to the effect of such moves on the future
development of the United States Capital

Citizens Of the Washington Metro
politan Area, plagued in the past by a
multiplicity Of appeals for funds. are
assured some welcome relief Through the
enrolment OF 1870 health, welfare and
recreational agencies in the new United
Givers Fund. This means that 10
agencies which formerly held their own

for-all campaign. We commend all the
groups that have agreed to become part
nerS IN the one-package solicitation.
There are number Of other worth
while organizations, of course, which were
excluded from the fund, not because of
unwillingneSs to join or because of any
deficiencies, but because the admissions
committee found they did not fall with

ton services or the general acceptabilitv
clause of the UGF statement of policies"

were cultural, patriotic and similar organ
izations and those whose primary services
were of an international nature.
1t was gratifying to note the number
OF health-research agencies which have
signed up for the big campaign next fall.
But it was disappointing that several of
the well-known organizations in this field
have declined to join. We hope that these
groups eventually will see their way clear
to become participants in the UGF. The
charitable public of this community
deserves to be spared the conflict, con-
fusion and annoyance of multiple cam
paigning. A long step toward that goal
has been made with the establishment
of the new fund.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
A Rose UnfoIds
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

June time is rose time. But
to so designate one month is
not to withhold gratitude for
the van of the petaled army
which arrives earlier and the
rearguard which stubbornly
waves bright banners even to
the late fall, when. stabbed
by wintry darts. they give up
the ghost in an aroma of love-
illness. In any setting an UNI
folding rose is one of natures
superlative displays. But be-
tween the first rose and the
last rose of summer comes a
velvet avalanche of red and
white and pink and yellow
which,, with or without official
action, makes the rose the ma
tional flower, first in the hearts
of millions across all State
borders. A festival of roses
in one city is a national event.
One who turned with JOY into
a glorious avenue lined with
roses, a riot Of color leading
up to the hospitable door of a
dear friends home, exclaimed,
Each bush seemed to whisper
Of the tenderness and affection
that are constantly lavished
upon it." Roses bloom in pro-
fusion on the trellises of lit
erature, in the chalices Of
poetry and in the annals of
love. What a linguist is the
rose. What more eloquently
speaks the language of senti-
ment. affection. devotion,
memory. sympathy and appre-
citation? 1t knows the speech
of both gladness and sadness.
Roses are redolent of the scent
of the yesterdays and the dim
past.
We are told by Eber Holmes
in Rose Garden Primer"
that there are evidences that
roses bloomed in the valley
of the Tigris thousands Of
years ago. Mythology has the
story of Cupid. who by the
way still deals in roses, giving
a rose to one as a bride for
silence. 1t was this legend
which is the genesis Of the
custom Of certain ancient
tribes Of suSpending a rose
from the ceiling Of their coun-
Gil chamber as a symbol that
nothing there said was to be
divulged. Thus has the phrase
come down in our contempo-
rary speech-sub rosa, under

Queen, Cleopatra, were lavishly

Not least of all, 1t should be helpful to

Social Democrats, who will try to defeat
him in next years elections with plat

such an idea, or more potentially dan
gerous, and one must hope that the

no flowers of rhetoric can say.
When Victoria, the girl Queen,

his attention was favorably
received by her. as already she
had fallen in love with him,
she gave him white rose.
Instantly, cutting a slit in his
