would be the condition that one

Senator Kefauver said his plan
would have several advantages.
First, he said, the administra-
ton does not now have a posi-
tive new disarmament plan, but
his scheme will supply the need.
Second. the plan will put the
Soviet Union on the spot. IF
the Russians refuse to go along
with these proposals they will not

eyes Of the world as foes Of arms

Appeal to Churches
Archbishop Spyridon, the
Greek Orthodox primate, pre-
sided in Athens over an emer-

Orthodox Church, asking that
sister church to display its ira

No Place for Politics

Any thought Of playing politics with
national security" is a potentially dan
gerous one-both politically and MILL
tarily. At the same time, the broad sub
ject of defense policy" is valid one for
political discussion and contains plenty
of room for honest differences of opinion.
.Adlai Stevenson ventured into this
field In his speech before the American
Legion. He expressed the opinion then
that within the foreSeeable future we
can maintain the military forces we need
without the draft :. think it is the
national will that the draft be ended
at the earliest possible moment consistent
with the national security" Very pos
sibly Mr.. Stevenson was correct about
the national will, under the conditions
he mentioned. 1t is not so likely, how
ever, that he Is correct in his optimism
that adequate military forces can be
maintained without the draft within the
foreseeable future. Indeed, various In
centives offered by the military services
and authorized by Congress have failed
to assure the manpower needed in recent
years and provide little reason to believe
that they will be suf1cient In the near
future.
Questioned at his news conference,
President Eisenhower avoided the politi-
cal temptation Of an equivocal answer on
this subject. At least In the immediate
future, he said, IT see no chance Of ending
the draft and carrying out the respon-
sibilities for the security of this country
that must be carried out" This is an
answer that may be unpopular with
youngsters approaching draft age, or with
their families. But it is frank one, and
its very frankness may carry great weight
with the thoughtful citizens of any age
who realize that no consideration could
be more important than the national
security.
Mr.. Stevenson said he trusted that
both parties will reject resolutely any
thought of playing politics with this
ISSUE" Perhaps enough has been said on
the subject already, and one hopes that
Mr.. Stevenson's expression of trust is
well founded.

A Sound Investment

Prince Georges County, as matter
of self-interest, wisely has seized the OPP
portunity to participate in the extension
to Fort Washington of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway. All other
counties along the planned route of the
parkway have joined with the Federal
Government in the extraordinary part
nership authorized by the Capper-Cram-
ton Act. All the areas involved have
found the parkway to be sound invest
ment.
Until now the Prince Georges section
of the parkway extension has remained
in the planning stage. Work, meanwhile,
has been proceeding on extension of the
divided-lane drive northward on both
sides of the Potomac River. Arlington
and Fairfax Counties, in Virginia, have
been contributing their shares of the
cost of acquiring rights of way, along
with the State of Virginia The Federal
Government is matching the Virginia

Tribute to q Park

committee of Washington citizens
is making preparations for another Rock
Creek Park Day"-an observance begun
last year and planned as an annual trib-
ute to the foresight of those who set aside
this unmatched wilderness in a CITY,"
The celebration will be held on Sunday,
October z, with picnics, group activities
and just plain enjoyment of the wooded
acres Of the famed valley.
While these officially proclaimed
days" in the big park serve to better
acquaint the public with the attractions
of the Federal reservation, they also serve
another important purpose. They help
to acquaint more citizens with the con-
Servation problems which confront park
officials. Rock Creek itself has deterio-
rated in recent years, because of pollution
from sewage overfiows, silt from eroded
banks upstream and periodic flooding.
Conditions have grown so bad, in fact,
that "Save Rock Creek" movement has
been promoted by public and private
groups.
We are glad that public interest
is being aroused to the dangers that
threaten the stream and its banks. For,
as Lord Bryce declared during his stay
as Britain's Ambassador here many years
ago, ito Rock Creek there is nothing COM

Budqeton Ak

The extent to which the budgetary
ak must be welded on the Districts
ce-imposing public works program has
become painfully apparent, now that the
city's estimates for new construction have
been assembled. With nearly $32 million
in new projects requested by the various
departments and only about SIT million
in sight from the general fund for such
improvements, some heavy cutting is in
evitable. 1t is hard and difficult task
which confronts the local budget office
but one which cannot be Shirked in
view of congressional failure to support
the public works program as originally
authorized by law.
The pruning job was easier with re-
Spect to estimates of the departments for
operating expenses during the next fiscal
year. That was because departmental
heads had been instructed to make every
possible effort to keep estimated costs
within expected revenues But the de-
partments were permitted more leeway
in filing requests for public workS-hence
the overloaded estimate total In the
case of highway, water, sewer and motor
vehicle parking projects, the financing
problem is not SO acute, since they have
their own self-replenishing funds for
public works. But schools, welfare and
similar nonrevenue- producing services
will be hit hard The school system, for
example, wants SIS million for new con-
struction-just 50 million short Of the
entire general fund amount expected to
be available for new projects.
Only two courses are open to the
Commissioners. They could go to Con-
gress with plea for heavier local taxes
and larger Federal payment. Or they
can try to keep the public works program
trimmed to manageable proportions, un-
der the existing revenue setup. But Dis
trict taxes already have been raised to
onerous levels. And Congress is IS mil
lion behind in its payments to the Dis
trict as authorized in the public works
program. The only practicable course,
against this discouraging background, Is
to cut the program itself down to revenue
, size-and hope that the next Congress
viii give this drastic cutback careful and
sympathetic consideration when weigh
ing the Fedsaal obligation. 4

Commission. Only Prince Georges had
remained out Of the compact.
Now, at the request Of the NCPC,
Prince Georges will contribute nearly 81
million toward purchase Of land for ex-
tension of the parkway from the District

Vernon. The Federal Government also
will pay 81 million, as its half Of the cost

sioners at first hesitated to join in the

burden involved. Prince Georges has
found as the other counties have found,
that the parkway bargain is too good to

Stanwood Cobb relates jul

It is not my purpose to bring

Bad Word

I have been a reader Of The
Star for more than so years
and have a very high regard
for the quality Of its news re-
porting and editorial discus
sions. I am very sure that it
does not knowingly promote
delinquency and crime, but it
has one practice which I feel
sure contributes to both. Irefer
to the persistent use Of the
word bandit"
The Star uses this word
bandit" continually in place
of the word thief. or robber.
A good example is found on
Page / Of the issue Of Septem-
Der Z, where it appears promi-
nently in the headings of two
news stories. 1t is used seven
times more In the first item and
eight times more in the Sec
ond. The word "thief" still has
a meaning Of evil and wrong
doing in the minds Of adults
and children. but the word
bandit" has been so glorified
by the movies and television
that it signifies a hero to many
children and to adults recently
emerged from childhood.
Why not use the word thief
instead Of bandit? And why
not say that the thieves stole"
the money or merchandise
instead Of always saying that
they took" it?
These news items on rob-
berries always carry an act-by-
act account Of how the thieves
carry out the robbery. That is
the news, Of course, but can
not It be oyerdone? 1t tells
all children Just how TO go
about stealing. And children

and many are starting younger.
