Of VFW Department

The District Department Of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars has
adopted The Evening Star Sum-
mer Camp Fund as one Of its
youth activity projects and hopes
to send so kids to camp this sum-
mer through contributions from
its posts.
Comdr. Paul Wampler, jr.. said
the District Department staff is
urging all 10 posts and Is auxil-
larry units in Washington to send
at least one child. for at least one
week
I'VE are attempting TO fulfill
our civic responsibilities" Mr..
w a mpler commented. I'VE
thought this program would help
us do it. by giving children who
can't afford to go to camp the
same chance for a vacation other
children have"
Mr.. Wampler added that the
project is in keeping with the
national youth program Of the
WV.
Individual posts here have sup
ported the camp fund in the
past, but this is the first year the
District Department has adopted
1t.
Among VFW-sponsored youth
projects here are the amateur

Ban D. T.. Aid,
Taber Urges

The Citizens Advisory Coun-
Gil today made public a letter
from Representative Taber. Re-
publican of New York, declaring
District tax rates are so low
that there seems to be no justi-
fication" for any Federal pay
ment to the city.
The New Yorker, ranking Re-
publican member of the House
Appropriations Committee, said
the District was lucky to be
getting as much Federal help as
it has.
William j. Smith. council
chairman. said the council took
no action on the letter. But he
said the council disagrees with
Mr.. Taber's opinion.
Mr.. Taber was the only one
of six congressional leaders who
replied to recent plea from the
council to grant the district a
full $25 million Federal payment
for the 1889 fiscal year. The
House granted only $40 million
and the Senate tackled on an
extra $500.000.
The advisory group wrote Il
the six congressional leaders or
May Is, enclosing a resolution
declaring it was strongly con.
vinced' that the $23 million pay
ment lis a moral and ethical
obligation to the District Of Co.
lumbia."
Mr.. Tabers letter said:
II have your communication;
with reference to the gratuity
pledged by the Federal Gov
eminent to the District of Co.
lumbia.
THE tax rates are so low COM
pared with people who live out
side the District that there seems
to be no Justification for any
gratuity"
On another matter. the coun-
Gil received a request from a
civic group to seek tougher
residence requirement for Dis
trict relief grants.
The Rock Greek Citizens Asso-
citation asked that the residence
requirement be increased from
one to two years. The request
was made in a letter from C.
Herbert Marshall, president. who
urged that the council back the
proposal in order to give some
relief to the overburdened tax
payers of the District"

Board members yesterday
agreed to support Supt. Hobart
M. Corning's stand to request a

cases where the schools were not
destroyed they would be dam
aged.
DR.. Corning charged that
school officials, although long
aware Of the proposed inner loop,
had not been consulted as to
the roads encroachment on
school property.

Editorial
THE G OF EDEN

THROUGHOUT H English-speaking world the
tragedy Of Anthony Eden is felt with deep regret and sor-
row. It is the sort of thing which pulls at the heartstrings, and
which became evident as commentator after commentator
spoke in Almost choked tones of this most unfortunate situa-
ton.
IN THE LONG history Of Britain prime ministers have
come and gone. Some have been good, others poor, but in
no case has the feeling SO prevailed that a man of good in
tentions, well-meaning in every way, ended his career in a
most distressing manner,
TRAINED FOB nothing else but politics, and with a
view to the prime minstership all his life, Eden had to be
content to follow in the shadow of the giant Churchill, a task
which must have had its effect, for as one London newspaper
put it, Eden was often the bridegroom but never the groom.
BUT WHEN HE finally came to the prime minstership,
trouble began and never ended. A conservative by utilization
engineered and put through the withdrawal of British troops,
and the turning over Of the protection of the Suez Canal to
Egypt. He realized that the concept Of empire had to under
go serious examination and perhaps changes, and he worked
earnestly to that end.
YET, IN A moment of panic he listened to too many
voices, which is always tragic. Having placated Nasser to the
limit he felt that the time had come to give the Egyptian
dictator a bloody" nose, as it was put, but that, too, tailed,
and with that failure the downfall of Eden.
HIS TRADEDY is compounded by the fact that he is
not only a man without the honor and the spotlight OF Bl-
taints chief ministerial post, he is actually without a JOB, and
his source Of income, it is conceded all around, is most
limited.
PERHAPS A TRIP to the United States would have
saved Eden but there, too, he failed, since the White House
did not see fit to invite hin to Washington. He failed to real
