Takes Issue With Taber
He took issue with a conten'

District tax rates are so low
there seems mo justification
for any Federal payment to the
city.
The District has all kinds o.

would be "the first to holler."
Mr. Donohue said it is "un'

LincoIn's Generalization

The Presidents language, when he
talked about wage and price controls at
MS press conference this week, was vague
enough to mean anything-or nothing.
We are willing to venture the opinion.
however, that Mr.. Eisenhower has moth
ing specific in mind, and that he is
going to run into hornets nest of oppo-
sition If he does ask Congress for legisla-
ton to control prices and ALLEGATIONS
and wages"
In 1916 the Republicans won sweep
ing victory in the congressional elections.
Their campaign theme, if memory serves,
was: Had Enough?-Vote Republican,"
This was designed to capitalize on pop
ular discomfort with the So-called wage
and price controls which had been in
effect during the war, and it paid off
handsomely in G. o. P votes We doubt
very much that many members of Con-
gress, under prevailing conditions, will
expose themselves in peacetime to the
political hazards of reviving those dis
tasteful and largely unavoidable regu-
lationS.
Assuming this to be correct, we still
are left, OF course, with the very serious
threat OF mounting imitation. 1t is
threat which cannot be dealt with by
vague talk about wage and price controls,
or by well-intended but futile appeals to
labor and management to hold the line.
1t may be, as matter of fact, that moth
ing effective can or will be done until
this country's economy has gone through
the wringer.
1t seems to us, however, that the
President ought to start by putting his
own official house in order. His budget
for the coming fiscal year is the largest
In our peacetime history. Two weeks ago,
he defended this budget, saying that as
long as the American people demand and,
In his opinion, deserve the kind of Serv-
ices that the budget provides we have
got to spend that kind of money. He
was asked again about the budget week
later. He still defended it, and said he
adhered to "Lincoln's generalization"-
that the Government must do for people
what they cannot do for themselves, or
what they cannot do as well as the Gov
eminent.
Maybe so. But our guess is that
Lincoln would be utterly dismayed at
many q the things that the people are
demanding today, and that the Govern
ment is eagerly doing for them. Federal
spending is one of the greatest engines
of imitation in this country. If the Pres
ident really intends to adhere to Lincoln's
generalization, we think he is wasting his
breath in appealing to industry and labor
for self-restraint, and in talking about
possible wage and price controls.

moreover. the right to pass on future
occupants of the house. And other cove
nants running with the property in
cluded racial restrictions. The impasse
broke into the news in big way when
the developers of the community OBJ
tanned a temporary restraining order
against the sale. There could hardly
have been a worse time for such hassle
to hit the newspapers and the airwaveS,
for the Red Cross already is sending out
publicity about its annual fund drive,
scheduled to start March /. Any sugges-
ton, no matter how ill-founded, that the
Red Cross would be party to racial
discrimination in any form could do
great damage to the organization. There
fore, the society has taken both the right
and the necessary course in canceling
negotiations for the house.

Wise Decision

1t is unfortunate that the American
Red Gross became involved in a home
purchase controversy of potentially ex-
plosive nature just as it was preparing
for Nationwide appeal to the public
for sos million with which to carry on
its relief and other activities. While the
decision to withdraw from the proposed
Spring Valley deal was wise, the public
should understand that the Red Cross
still is obligated to buy home, some
where, for its president. The obligation
arises out of its acceptance in 1919 of a
gift of money specifically restricted by
the donors to the purpose of providing
a home for future heads of the organi-
Zation. No other use can be made of
this fund, which now amounts to about
100000.
However, in contracting for the pur-
chase Of home in Spring Valley for
General Gruenther, new Red Cross presi-
dent, the organization ran afoul OF a
covenant in the deed which gives the
developers OF the subdivision the right
b prevent any sale 70 cooperation and,

New Hope in Foggy Bottom

1t is gratifying that District consult
ants believe satisfactory design can
be worked out for the conveyance of
huge new expressways to the west of
Washington Circle.
A junction between the proposed "in-
ner loop" and Potomac River express
ways at Washington Circle itself, as
first contemplated, obviously would create
unprecedented traffic problems. 1t is also
important that these expressways be
moved out of the immediate George
Washington University expansion area.
Presumably, also, new location would
be selected with due regard to private
development projects west of the circle
in Foggy Bottom. We hope that the city
highway department will give every en-
enlargement to new studies designed to
achieve these aims.
