Action on the Parkway

When work begins in few weeks on
the Spout Run Chain Bridge extension of
the George Washington Memorial park
way one of the more impressive phases
of the long-dormant parkway program
will be under way The carving of
divided-lane highway in the Virginia pail
isadeS of the Potomac River will involve
engineering difficulties of major sort.
But the effort will be we'll worth the
trouble and the cost, both from traffic
relief and scenic standpoints.
The parkway, proper, now ends where
Spout Run empties in the river, just above
Key Bridge. A cutoff road there con-
meets the parkway with Lorcom Lane and
Lee Highway. The section for which
grading contract has just been let by the
National Park Service will carry the free
way straight up to and over the granite
cliffs which rise on the Virginia shore,
opposite the Three Sisters Islands, and
which continue to Chain Bridge and be-
yond. This rocky gorge is one of the
rivers chief attractions above tidewater,
but in the past only mixers on shore and
canoeists and other boatmen have had
closeup views of the tall cliffs. The park
way will bring this scenery within reach
of thousands of motorists.
Indicative of the Importance of the
parkway as traffic artery is the fact
that funds for immediate extension of
the road all the way to Langley were
voted as part Of the Central Intelligence
Agency's appropriation. The parkway will
be one Of the main approaches to the new
CHA building. Eventually the boulevard
will continue up the river to Great Falls,
there to be linked by dreamed about
bridge across the falls to the Maryland
part Of the parkway. But priority over
the falls bridge has been assigned to
bridge in the Cabin John area. because
Of the pressing need for a direct connec-
ton between the CHA headquarters and
the Maryland shore. These bridges are
for future consideration by Congress.
Meanwhile, 1t is good to know that con-
struction OF the parkway through Ar
lington and into Fairfax County will be
resumed shortly.

Explosive Letter

II one may take liberties with an old
saw, Adlai Stevenson is man who stands
In need of someone to protect him, not
from his friends, but from his enemies.
And in this affair of the Bulganin letter,
Mr.. Stevenson may we'll add to his list
of enemies the Soviet Premier and, in a
sense, himself.
Whatever Mr.. Bulganin may have
intended to accomplish, he has not helped
Mr.. Stevenson. The tone of his letter
to the President, proposing forthwith
agreement to ban the testing of nuclear
weapons, would have been something less
than persuasive under the best of circum-
stances. 1t became anything but per-
SuaSive when the letter, contrary to Gus
tom, was released in Moscow before it
could be Carefully" translated and deliv-
cred to Mr.. Eisenhower. The browning
blow came when the text of the letter,
made public by the Russians at the climax
of our own political campaign, recorded
Mr. Bulganin as saying: I'VE fully share
the opinion recently expressed by certain
prominent public figures in the United
States (meaning especially Mr.. Steven
SOM concerning the necessity and the
possibility of concluding an agreement
on the matter of prohibiting atomic
weapon tests 49,"
This was harmful enough. But Mr..
Stevenson aggravated the injury in his
initial comment. This statement, issued
through his press secretary, was silent
on the matter of Mr. Bulganin'S inter-
ference in our own presidential campaign.
But it was quite critical of the President,
suggesting among other things that his
sharp reply to the Bulganin note was
inconsistent with his previous declara-
tons concerning the desire and intent of
the Soviet leaders for peace.
AS we see it, this was serious slip.
Politically speaking, it was bad enough
for Premier Bulganin to come to Mr.. Ste
venson'S support at this time on the
bomb-teSting question. But it was worse
for Mr.. Stevenson even to appear to be
lending encouragement to the Bulganin
criticism of the President. Mr. Stevenson,
in second statement, has said he shares
the Presidents resentment at RusSias
interference" in our political affairs His
position would be stronger, however, if
there had been something of this sort in
the first comment.
In their turn, the President and his
advisers have not been slow to seize upon
the opportunity which was offered to
them. We suspect that there was more
politics than genuine outrage in the in
dignant note which has been dispatched
from the White House to the Kremlin.
Even so, however, the Stevenson attack
on the H-bomb issue has been checked.
He is going to have to fall back and re-
group his forces-and find some way of
keeping Mr.. Bulganin out of the picture.

Pon-Arobism Gains

The anti-Western front in the Arab
Middle East has gained new strength as
result of the parliamentary elections
held in Jordan during the past week end.
Described as the first really free and
honest elections" ever held in the desert
kingdom. the voting has placed control of
the legislative body in the hands of pro-
Egyptian and independent factions that
appear to favor the third force" position
in Arab policies. 1t is position, in brief,
that leans toward breaking historic ties
with Britain in particular and forming
closer association among Arab states
alone Such bloc, as has been indicated,
would be likely to bargain between East
and West, while striving to consolidate
pan-Arab nationaliSm.
That Jordan would move in this di-
rection was foreshadowed last year. At
that time British effort to draw Jordan
into the Baghdad pact aroused such vio-
lent reaction within the country itself, as
we'll as from Cairo, that it was evident
showdown would come eventually in
Amman. The trend was clarified when
the Jordan government early this year
abruptly dismissed Club Pasha and his
British military mission. In recent weeks
efforts have been made to strengthen
relations between Jordan and Iraq, the
only Arab member Of the Baghdad pact,
but prediction estimates continued to
favor the chances Of the pro-Egyptian
and anti-Western independent candi-
dates. The increasing intensity of the
Jordsn-Israeli border troubles has tended
70 favor this same orientation toward the
Egyptian Syrian Saudi Arabian alliance.
1t would be premature, even now,
however, TO try to forecast Jordan's pre-
else course in the near future The pro-
Egyptian National Socialist Party has
advocated ending the military alliance
with Britain, but by negotiation rather
than unilatera' action. Among the larg-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-23

est group Of newly elected deputies, the
Independents, there is no single firm
policy. And while the pro- Communist
National bloc has elected three deputies,
other extremist parties on both the right
and the left lost ground. In summary,
pan-Arabism under Egyptian leadership
probably has gained, but precisely where
1t will go from here may depend as much
upon policies in the Western capitals and
in Moscow as upon those formulated in
Cairo, or in Tel-Aviv.

Indignation View

A letter written by Mrs.
Katherine Mills protests inte-
grafton Of the Poolesville
School.
Mrs. Mills expresses fear OF
school indignation, implying
that indignation of the Pooles-
vile School will result in a
situation similar to that de-
scribed IN the recent book,
blackboard Jungle"
There should be no cause
for such fear. Recently Louis
vile has integrated its schools
with very satisfactory results.
There is no reason why inte-
grafton in the Poolesville School
should result differently. The
Negro children who enter
white schools come TO obtain
a better education. not to cause
trouble.
Mrs. Mills also stated that
Negro children we're from a
different cultural background
and. therefore, should not be
mixed with white children.
However, what better way is
there to I'LL in the gaps in the
cultural backgrounds Of the
two races than 10 start by in
tegrating public schools. thus
affording equal opportunity
for cultural development to
all?

Universal Fear

Let us not have freedom
from fear-freedom from the
H-bomb, that is. At least not
yet.
Let us rather keep the bomb
as a sword of Damocles, hang
ing. not only over the heads of
the Hitlers and the Stains, but
over our own heads as a goad
and a reminder to discharge
our moral responsibilities to
our own country as well as to
the whole Of mans investment
in civilization. / do not suggest
a philosophy Of fear wherein
fe ar predominates and ex-
presses itself in panic. But, to
this inexpert man-in- the
street, it seems that the factor
Of fear has a rightful function
in nature and, to the extent
that this is true, fear is a bless
ing rather than a curse. The
urge to live is, indeed, an in
trinsic part of living. and fear.
in its proper place, contributes
to the conservation of life, both
physical and moral. We teach
the young child to fear the
street while at the same time
we begin 10 teach him TO use
his reason SO that someday he
can pick his own way safely
through the traffic. Fear Of the
switch contributes TO the proper
training Of animals. including
that ost precious variety,
children: and / suspect that
fear Of being hauled into court
has something TO do with re-
minding us that there are 9TH
ers on the highway who need
10 live.
In my opinion. wars are
preventable to the extent that
the people exercise their Cod
given intelligence and will suf-
ficiently to set aside some Of
their greedy impulses in order

Lawrence Moran.
4 X X
David Lawrence in his
H-bomb articles seems to be
favoring new branch of
science, one which is appar-
emily incongruent with pres
ent-day science-"Republican
science"
In his article of october Is,
Mr.. Lawrence said: Some of
these scientists and others who
have not had access to all the
information available to the
Atomic Energy Commission
have been quoted a lot in the
press. They have been insisting
that the 'fallout' will hurt flu
ture generations. Many people
are accepting such reckless
statements as valid" Mr.. Law
renee seems to speak with au-
thority. Has he the background
of these scientists in this field?
Does he have access to this in
formation he says these scien-
fists lack? Only if he does can
his calling these statements
reckless" be condoned.
In Mr.. Lawrence's article of
october II, referring to the
testing of H-bombs, he said:
There is some evidence, too,
that tests can be concealed"
If this is true, Mr.. Lawrence
should qualify his statement.
Senator Clinton Anderson,
chairman of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Atom
ic Energy, said that Mr.. Ste
venson'S proposal to ban test
ing of H-bombs is safe. He
also said that the law states
that he, as chairman of the
above committee, has access to
the same atomic information
as the President. Judging Mr..
Lawrence's statement in the
light of what Senator Ander-
son has said, either the evil
dence that the tests can be
concealed is poor, or Mr.. Law
renee must know something
that even our highest author
tiles are unaware of. If the
latter is true, Mr.. Lawrence
owes it to the Nation to re-
lease this information.
My reaction to Mr.. Law
rence's articles is that the
people should trust today's
science as epitomized by the
10 California Institute of Tech
nology scientists and the IL
Columbia University scientists
who support Mr.. Stevenson's
proposal, rather than this
brand of Republican science"
d mo nstrated by David
Lawrence.
