Futile Delay

The half-hearted efforts of top-level
District highway and Federal parks off,
Gals to coordinate their closely related
road programs in Washington are as
1nexcuSable as they have been futile.
1t is bad enough that there is basic
disagreement over many projects, such
as the location of new Potomac River
bridges and the use of park lands for new
TRAFFIC routes. Some of these conflicts,
however, are at least understandable, be-
cause they arise from the special interests
each group is supposed to serve. The
main concern of park officials, for ex-
ample, is in the preservation and use of
the parks themselves, and only in such
roads as are needed to serve them. It is
natural that these officials are not as
concerned as highway men with the
simple problem of moving traffic.
What passes understanding is why
the two groups have not already resolved
their respective responsibilities for build
ing parts of approved projects concerning
which there is general agreement, and
for co-ordinating their respective budgets
so the Improvements can be carried out
Al OAACAAy OIlC IGSulG VI GIllS Idlls
ure. is the recent confusion over who
should provide facilities for cross-town
traffic in Rock Creek Park, made neces-
sary by the closing of the Park road
bridge last year. Still to be pinned down,
also, is responsibility for building por-
tions of the important elmer loop" free
way system.
Basic decisions on these matters can
be made only by the top-level principals
involved-Park Director Conrad Wirth
and District Engineer Commissioner
Lane. Each of these officials has recog-
nized for more than year the need to
coordinate their programs. But their
efforts apparently have been limited to
sporadic conferences between lower
echelon staff members and long ex-
changes of letters The time is long over
due for either Mr.. Wirth or Gen. Lane
to pick up his telephone, call the other,
and set up meeting.

Prod From the Acc

The Atomic Energy Commission has
given timely prod to private industry,
and also to non-Federal cooperative and
publicly owned utility enterprises, in in
viting them to submit proposals to de-
velop, design, construct and operate vari-
GUS types of reactors for the production
Of peacetime nuclear power.
This is the third such invitation that
the Acc has extended since launching it's
Power Demonstration Reactor Program in
January, 1855. AS explained by Chairman
Lewis L. Strauss, however, the new bid
differs from its two predecessors in sew
eral important respects. One of these is
that it sets no limitation on the type or
size of the nuclear plants which may be
proposed. Another is that the proposers
themselves, apart from receiving the COM
missions help in the form of research,
development and certain fashionable ma
terialS, will have to do all the financing.
And third is that construction of the
projects must be timed for completion
by June 80, 1882
The primary objective of the invita-
ton is to speed up the coming of economi-
cally feasible nonmilitary atomic power
on free-enterprise basis. To that end,
as in the case of the Aces first and
second invitations, the hope is that ven-
tureSome and sound action will be forth
coming from individual companies or
groups of companies representing pri-
vately, comparatively or publicly owned
utilities, or from equipment manufac-
turers." Otherwise, Congress will be
called upon for appropriations to enable
the Government to carry on with the job.
The Strauss announcement makes the
point this way: IF industry does not
submit acceptable proposals for reactor
plants of the types considered ready for
full-scale construction, the commission
will request additional funds to initiate
such projects under complete Federal
financing"
In sense, this latest declaration Of
policy serves to counter renewed congress
sional efforts to enact legislation under
which the Government would spend $400
million on sort of "crash program" to
build electricity producing nuclear plants.
Such bill was adopted by the Senate
last year, only to be defeated in the House
at the urging of Mr.. Strauss and other
administration spokesman. But its adj
vocates have introduced it again, and
something like it may we'll be adopted
unless private industries respond salts
factorily with proposals Of the sort asked
for by the Acc to hasten the advent of
commercially competitive atomic power.
Actually, everything considered,
American free enterprise has already

Imperialism q la Stain

Like their counterparts in Soviet
controlled CzechoSlovakia, the leaders Of
the French Communist Party are noto-
riouS advocates of the Stalinist line. So
it is only logical that these two groups
have joined together in formally con-
demning any within the-ranks tendency
to challenge the idea that Reds every
where must remain subServient to the
Kremlin'S rule.
The Czech and French Communists,
of course, have reSorted to rather murky
jargon in their joint communicate, but
their meaning is clear enough. The thing
they condemn is independence minded,
nationaliStic communism of the sort
President Tito has installed in YugoSlavia
and which Mr.. Gomulka is trying to get
by with in Poland. They condemn it
because it denies the primacy of the
Soviet Union and insists that country
has right to follow its own road to
socialism" without taking orders from
Moscow
Stated another way, the Czech
French Communist statement revives and
reafiirms the Stalinist dictum that party
members, regardless of their nationality
or country, owe their primary allegiance
to the Soviet Union. In that sense, they
have no right to be patriots devoted to
their native lands. Instead, because
otherwise they would be tools of Western
"imperialist reaction" they must steer
clear of "nationaliSm" and remain loyal
to the Kremlin, even if that means that
they must be traitors to the nations in
which they were born and may still live.
Presumably, the Communists of
Czechoslovakia and France have given
voice to this anti-Tito and anti-Gomulka
position with the full advice and consent
OF. their Soviet masters. Presumably, also,
they are concerned with party losses in
their own countries as result of the
brutal suppression of Hungary. Still,
there is evidence that the Kremlin, de-
spite its recent concessions" to Poland
and its sensational repentance mission to
Yugoslavia last year, is veering back to
the Stalinist concept of iron-fisted i'm
perialism. If SO, this marks hardening
of policy that bodies no good for the
captive peoples, all of whom yearn for
national independence and individual
freedom.

Stadium Problems

With the choice of a site near the
Armory for the proposed District stadium,
the National Memorial Stadium Commits
sion has Settled-aS far as the commission
is concerned-a controversial preliminary
problem. Since Congress created the
commission to give advice on the stadium
plan, the recommendation in favor of the
/ East Capitol location instead of the Ma
tional Training School site preferred by
highway engineers will carry great weight
at the Capitol. Now the commission can
devote its efforts to solving other trouble
some problems involved in the stadium
project
Selection of the Armory site neces-
Sarily precludes planning for a more
grandiose stadium capable of seating as
many as 100000 persons. But the COM
mission no doubt had not forgotten that
its predecessor, the Bilbo Commission,
Internationally killed an earlier sta
dunn plan by setting its sights too high.
Furthermore, stadium authorities have
stressed that king-sized structures multi
ply cost figures to uneconomic levels.
The stadium approved by the commission
would seat up to $4,000 perSons-a capac-
ity adequate for the needs of professional
baseball and football but not too large to
be economically practicable. The prob
lens of size and design will be studied
now by special subcommittee of the
commission.
A difficult problem of another sort
has been assigned to a subcommittee
headed by Senator Nicely of West Virginia.
This has to do with ways and means of
financing such huge undertaking. The
general idea is to make the stadium a
self-liouidating investment The Harris
bill, introduced on the House side, pro-
vides for raising construction funds
through revenue bonds. Expert testimony
by fiscal authorities will be needed to
guide the commission and Congress on
the financing phase.
Selection of the East Capitol street
site raises still another problem which
must be given very careful study This
is the provision of adequate approaches
for private and public vehicles. Guests
who attended the recent Inaugural Ball
at the Armory know that the present road
network connecting the Armory area with
downtown Washington is totally made
quate, even for today's requirements. If
Congress finally approves the East Capt.
toll site for the stadium, something must
be done to eliminate the frustrating
traffic bottlenecks that now plague
motorists visiting the Armory on special
occasions.

not the State Department.
Does the fault lie with the
Eisenhower administration for
this concealment - deception
rather than with the British
and French government lead
ers? That is the question which
Senator Fulbright seems to
raise.
The President and the adj
ministration have said that,
despite this treatment by the
British and the French gov
ernments, their desire is to
continue the historical friend
ships with these two nations.
in the interest of strong free
world in opposition to the
Communist nations aggressive
tactics. Probably nothing could
so i'll serve these aims as to go
along with Senator Fulbright's
proposal and stir up this con-
troversy all over again, with
examinations and recrimina-
tons.
A Vote of Confidence
The Arkansas Senator said
that many commentators and
thoughtful observers" have
stated that approval of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's request for
authority to act in the Middle
East would be in effect a vote
of confidence in the admin
istration's conduct of our for
eign relations. OF course it
would. 1t is the proposed de-
lay in that expression of con-
fidence which may shake the
confidence of the nations of
the free world in the Ameri-
can Government, and which
could give the Russian and
Chinese Communists encour-
agement in the belief this is
a divided nation.
Further, commentators op-
posed to the Eisenhower adj
ministration and particularly
to Secretary of State Dulles
are hailing the Fulbright
statement as an attack on the
Secretary of State and a warm
ing to President Eisenhower
that he should get rid of
Dulles forthwith. The Presi-
dent. for his part, has made
it entirely clear he, has no
intention of dumping Dulles
rather. that he has great con-
f1dence in him. So there the
matter stands.
The attack on Dulles and
the administrations foreign
policy really echoes similar at
tacks delivered by Adlai Ste
venSon and Senator Kefauver
and other Democratic leaders
in the recent presidential
campaign. Without charging
that Senator Fulbright is en-
gaging in politics-it seems
clear he is playing into the
hands of others who seek po-
litical capital in the tough
Middle East situation which
confronts this country and the
nations of the free world to-
day, and which needs prompt
action in support of the Eli
senhower recommendation to
Congress.
