Twelve years ago at Breton
Woods. N. H.. representatives Of
"A countries established the World
Bank and the international None
tary Fund.
Today the bank seems well es-
tablished. Projects 1t has financed
power stations, railways, ships.
roads, grain bins-dot the world.
But comments by delegates to the
18th annual meeting of the two
institutions here last week indi-
cate there are some grave world
wide reservations about the past
record and future prospects Of the
Fund.
The fund was set up as a pool
Of currencies (the most important
component of which was to be
United States dollars) to promote
the stability of international ex-
change, help re-establish freedom
of world trade and payments,
and foster monetary cooperation
among nations The bank, by con-
trast, was to make reconstruction
and development loans.
Today, while the bank can
proudly point to the concrete re-
suits Of its activities. the fund.
partly because Of the intangible
nature Of its assignment. has far
less to show.
To get some picture OF today's
feelings toward the fund, into
which the United States has in
vested $l.750.000,000. some of the
experts attending the annual meet
ing were polled.
One Of those questioned was John
w. Snyder, Secretary of the Treas
ury under President Truman,

inches deep-at the mouth" And
Wendell Willkie did a slow burn
when Harold Ickes tagged him as
the simple. barefoot Wall Street
lawyer" But this kind of thing
goes with the ballot like pepper
goes with salt.
Trouble comes when the charges
made by the candidates are specific
and untrue. LAS to what legal
liability may arise then. the States
are in solid disagreement.
Some of them say that If the
comments made about a politician
are bad enough and morally de-
grade him, the author of the re-
marks can be made to pay UP for
libel or SANDER. But other States
think this is too rigid an attitude.
So long as the candidate making
the false statements really believes
they are true, according to this
theory. he is privileged to make
them. The latter is known as the
good faith" doctrine, and while it
may be bit difficult for the voter
to swallow, it has been accepted
recently by jurists in Iowa, Kansas,
Pennsylvania and Texas.
Drawing the Line
How do the courts go about
deciding when false statements are
sufficiently bad to be libelous?
A Federal decision on the point
says that the statement must be
one containing charges which, if
true, would be cause for a persons
removal from Office.
In Texas, where a State legislator
was falsely and knowingly maligned
as an enemy of the State Medical
Board. a court ruling said this was
libelous since. if true, it would have
subjected the legislator to official
reprimand.

DISTRICT
By HECTOR MCLEAN

A 13.man delegation of officials
from eight Swedish towns spent
most of last week in Washington
trying to find out how the United
States Capital handles its traffic
planning and engineering problems.
One thing they learned is that
the handling is badly divided.
Arranging the trip last July. they
wrote: THE number of cars Is
growing very rapidly in our country
and creates difficult traffic problems
even In cities of medium size. We
know that we have much to learn
from your city and your way Of
solving the problems. Therefore,
we should highly appreciate your
kind cooperation in getting some
information on the planning activ-
tiles OF your city, especially with
regard to traffic problems"
The answers. they discovered,
were going to have to come from
four different agencies of the Dis
trict government.
Some Answers Weren't There
Some answers. in that array of
divided responsibility. just weren't
there for them to discover.
Take this question, for example:
what is the future role of rapid
transit, streetcars and buses?"
1t Is true that the role of buses
and Streetcars seems to have been
settled by congressional fiat which
calls for elimination of streetcars,
resulting from the tar-chamber
action of the Board of Commission
ers and the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Rapid transit" however, is not

transportation problems.
This is true although "rapid
transit" public mass transporta-
ton along separate rights of way
not subject to interruptions of cross
traffic, like railroads, subways or
elevateds) is generally regarded as
a key TO stopping the traffic strang-
ulation which is slowly killing most
cities.
Nor is any one agency attempting
to balance the tightly interrelated
demands Of the private motorist,
the parking interests and the transit
system
The solution offered by one for
mer transit executive when he could
be persuaded to let down his hair
was the establishment of a single
city department of transportation.
To this one department would be
given all responsibility for PLAN
ming and regulation of everything
affecting the movement of people
and goods.
It would require a consolidation
OF the present Highway Depart
ment, the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency, the transit-regu-
lating functions of the Public Util-
tiles Commission, and some of the
functions now vested only in the
District Commissioners.

MOSCOW, Aug. is (P.-Rus-
sia's track and field team for
the Olympic Games in Australia
may not be anything like as good
as the SovietS expected. but it
will be young, new and brash.
An almost completely new
group of men and women won
championships during the Soviet
Spartakiad sports festival and
victory here is virtually certain
to get the winners a ride to Mel
bourne and a chance to take a
crack at the powerful American
squad.
The new champions are re-
placements for many old Rus
sian stars who first got a good
peer outside the Iron Curtain
in 1850 at Brussels for the Euro
pean Games, took another quick
and unsuccessful look into the
fresh air in 1852 for the Olym-
pics, and made their third mass
journey to Bern, Switzerland, in
1854 for the European Games.
Since then they have jour-
neyed to London. Paris and
Scandinavia in addition to nu-
merous trips through satellite
countries.
Now a new crew is taking over
and its assignment is to beat
the Americans.
But it is most unlikely they
will do this for another eight
years, not until Russia's ire
mendously impressive sports mill
turns out more good coaches.
This group, however. is certain
to win a least two gold medals
