Encouraging the Tourists

This is an appropriate time Of the year
for the Greater National Capital Com
mittee, which is the citys convention and
visitors bureau, to conduct its annual
drive for support Of the business COM
munity. Right now Washington is in the
midst Of the spring tourist season, with
indications Of a record-breaking year
In tourist trade.
1t is a mistake to assume that all
these hundreds Of thousands of men,
women and children who have come to
the Capital so far this year and the
millions who will have visited here before
the year ends would have come to WASH
ington anyway. Many Of them of course,
would make the pilgrimage without bene-
At OF solicitation or advice from the
Board Of Trades hospitality and promo
ton group. But studies have shown that
the number Of visitors, especially those
attending conventions, is greatly in
creased through the publicity and pro-
motional efforts Of the Greater National
Capital Committee.
The committees current drive for
100000 with which to carry on these
efforts, therefore, merits the generous
support Of the hotels, theaters, stores
and other business firms which benefit
from the tourist trade-which last year
amounted u, $275 million.
Evening star., 1957-04-19
Not the EHipse

In considering sites for new exeCu-
tive office building, one location should
be ruled out automatically This is the
Ellipse, the central, tree-rimmed "Presi-
dents park" which was laid out in the
early days Of the Capital as an extension
Of the White House grounds. Any sug-
geStion that this green oasis in the heart
OF the city's expanse of asphalt, stone
and brick might be desecrated by a mod
ern office building is too prepoSterous to
be taken seriously.
We do not believe that Press Secretary
Jim Hagerty, in replying to a reporters
query as to available sites near the White
House for the badly needed new presiden-
tial office building, intended to give the
impression that the EllipSe was under
actual consideration by the commission
studying the office-space problem. He
was pointing out the only directions in
which the White House reservation con-
ceivably could be expanded to take care
Of new office structure close to the
executive mansion. He ruled out only the
east, since the Treasury blocked any
extension in that direction But any
construction to the south Is as much
out Of the question as an eastward move.
This leaves only the west, in the
area now occupied by the old State, War
and Navy Building, and the north, along
jackson place in Lafayette Square. A Fed
eral office building already is planned for
the latter site, with the question of occu-
pancy still undecided. 1t has been report
ed, however, that the Budget Bureau and
the ONCE of Defense Mobilization might
be among the tenants. These agencies,
part Of the. Presidents offices, now are
in the State, War and Navy Building.
The logical place for the new presiden-
tial Offices, therefore, would seem to be
either in the old State, War and Navy
Building, after 1t has been vacated by
its present occupants, or in a new build
ing erected to replace it. No other loca-
tion is so convenient to the White House
and so readily adaptable to tunnel plan
for connecting the Presidents residence
and his Offices.

news comments on Mont

reflect views gathered always
from the same cuffs"
An editors note to my letter

mouth" not from the cuff.
Now that I know this. / am
sick with concern for the poor
animal. He has serious blind
spots. probably originating in
the subconsciouS. and should
be rushed TO the nearest vet
for complete checkup. It
would be q mistake to limit
this going-over to the mouth
alone, as what comes from the
mouth is sometimes merely an
outward symptom of deep
seated maladjustment. II this
proves to be the case with your
horse. he probably needs the
attention Of a op-fiight horse
psychiatrist. Superficial meas
ures. such as the installation
OF fine set of dentures, for
example. would be a useless
expenditure OF money.

Suicide Notes

The texts of the suicide notes left
by Canada's Ambassador to Cairo, E. Her
bert Norman, shed no additional light on
the reasons which prompted Mr.. Norman
to take his own life last April 4. In fact,
assuming the correctness of the copies
of the notes which have been turned over
to the Senate Internal Security Subcom-
mittee by New York newspaper, they
tend, If anything, to obscure the reason
which drove this unhappy man to his
death.
These notes do cast doubt, how
ever, on the widely accepted belief that
Mr.. Norman was driven to suicide by a
report issued by the Senate subcommittee
which linked the Canadian to certain
former Communist activities These were
old accusations which had been investi-
gated by the Canadian government and
resolved in Mr.. Norman's favor. To re-
vive them at this time and air them pub
licly was an inexcusable thing for the
subcommittee to do. But the notes Go
not support the charge that it was this
irresponsible performance which drove
MIR. Norman to suicide.
One note was to his wife, who pre-
sumably knew of the old accusations and
the action of the Canadian government
with respect to them. To his wife, Mr..
Norman wrote: II wanted so much to
tell you all about my troubles during
these last few days of my life because
I think of you as my spiritual partner.
but finally decided to bear them alone
and not distress YOU" After explaining
that he had no more hope in life, no
future, he added: please forgive me, my
love, for ending my life like this. / feel
I don't deserve even to kiss your feet"
The second note was to the Swedish
Ambassador, described by Mr.. Norman as
his best friend" This note said: II
wanted to spend some time with you
during these last few days of my life
and tell you about what has been worry
ing me but am afraid that even in this
letter cannot bring myself to tell you
the true reasons that impel me to COM
NIT suicide"
These are hardly the words Of man
driven to suicide by the report Of a SUBJ
committee In Washington, especially
since the Swedish Ambassador must have
been aware of the publicity given the
subcommittees report. On the face Of
the notes, again assuming their authen-
ITCHY, Mr.. Norman must have had some
other reason for suicide, a reason un-
known to his wife and to his best friend.
