Frederick Olmsted

Frederick Law Olmsted, who died
in California last Thursday at 81, long
will be remembered for his important
contributions to the development of a
more beautiful Washington. He was
one Of the pioneer leaders in preparing
a basic master plan for improving the
Nations Capital and in carrying out
major phases of that plan. He had the
satisfaction Of seeing many Of his
dreams for Greater Washington
become realities during his lifetime.
Mr.. Olmsted, already a nationally
known landscape architect at that time,
began his official association with the
planning of our city in 1901, when
President Theodore Roosevelt appointed
him to the newly formed Senate Park
ommission-usually called the McNil-
Ian Commission after its sponsor from
Michigan, Chairman James Mcmillan
of the Senate District Committee. It
was this four-member commission which
laid the planning foundations for the
central development Of Washington as
we know 1t today. Mr.. Olmsted and
his group envisioned the great Mall,
bordered by monumental Federal build
ings-a concept still valid, despite the
complacent acceptance and continued
toleration Of the temporary" ONCE
shacks which mar It's beauty.
The Mcmillan Commission died with
the submission Of It's comprehensive and
vital plan to Congress in 1902, but It's
program, in general outline, has sur
vived through the years. And that early
planning group was the forerunner of
two other agencies which are concerned
with the building of q more attractive
Capital, namely, the National Capital
Planning Commission and the Fine Arts
Commission. Logically, Mr.. olmsted was
appointed to both commissions, contin-
uing his invaluable services to the grow
ing city for many years. In addition,
in his professional capacity as landscape
architect, he was employed TO help in
the designing Of many parks and street
layouts here. In retrospect, Il is clear
that Washington owes much to the
imaginative foresight, technical skill
and determination Of MIR. Olmsted. His
beneficial influence was the kind that

L. Lee Bean, the surprise" ap-
pointee to the Arlington School Board,
was picked by the conservative majority
on the County Board. He says he will
take conservative approach" to school
problems. However, he has never been
identified with either of the two factions
which are represented on the County
Board and the School Board. And he
has announced that in making decisions
and casting his votes on school issues
he win be governed not by partisan
considerations but by what I think is
best for the school system" That is a
good philosophy for any school board
member to follow.
Appointed with Mr. Bean was Rob-
ert A. Peck. an avowed and active men,
ber of the Arlington Independent
Movement (AIM). the so-called con-
servative group in Arlington's governing
circles. Both Mr.. Bean and Mr.. Peck
were opposed by the liberal" minority
on the present County Board, Ralph
Kaul and David KrupSaw of the Arling-
tonians for Better County (ABC). The
latter two will become part of an ABC
majority on the County Board next
week, when liberal" Herbert L. Brown
replaces conservative" Wesley Cooper.
Thus, with the turn of the year, the
County Board viii be dominated by
liberals and the School Board by con-
servatives, just the reverse of the pre-
vious situation. However, II Mr.. Bean
adheres to the policy which he has
promised, he win be in position to cast
q key vote on vital school issues arising
between the two ABC and two AIM
School Board members.
Certainly politics and factional diff
ferences ought to be forgotten when
school problems are under considera-
ton, and Mr.. Bean, wearing no label
and coming to the board with no en-
tangling alliances, has a fine opportu-
nifty for constructive service in calling

President Eisenhower has made q
promising choice in naming DR.. John
A. Hannah to head the Civil Rights
Commission. The commissions work
has been held up as a result of former
Supreme Court Justice Stanley F. Reeds
decision to withdraw as chairman. But
now, with this vacancy filled, the six
man group should be able to begin
functioning as intended.
DR.. Hannah, president Of Michigan
State University, seems well equipped to
take on his difficult new job. Apart from
having been the commissions vice chair
man, he has had a large amount Of
experience In the field Of civil rights.
In 1953-54. for example, as Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Manpower and
Personnel, he directed the administra-
tion'S program of racial integration in
the armed forces, and he has dealt
extensively with the issue on his own
campus as well.
Although opposed to segregation in
principle, DR.. Hannah has given am
pie evidence Of appreciating the great
complexities involved. especially in the
South. Far from being a doctrinaire
zealot, he views the problem through
the eyes of moderate who does not
expect the Civil Rights Commission to
change human nature In hurry. Thus,
as he has Just declared in commenting
on his appointment, wise men have
struggled with 1t (the integration issue)
for decades, and have no illusions that
this commission will be able to produce
the final solution in few short months"
However, to quote him further, DR..
Hannah approaches his task with the
attitude that men Of good will should be
able to work out their differences" and
he is therefore hopeful that he and his
fellow-commissioners (three from the
South) will succeed in making "some
useful contribution In the national in
terest." This is a spirit and hope that

to see the problem handled with wisdom

Argues With Lowrence

David Lawrence reveals
l"Labor's nlusory Doctrine")
that wage increases cause
depression and imitation
alike. His conclusion Is that
higher wages win aggravate
either an imitation or q re-
cession. Logically. one might
Just as easily conclude that
higher wages win alleviate
either an imitation or q re-
cession.
But still more logically,
each Of these paradoxes
rebels against plain common
sense.
Merely increasing consumer
buying power doesn't help
the heavy goods industries,
says Mr.. Lawrence. II doesn't
bolster the whole economy.
True that It is the manufac-
turer and not the everyday
consumer who consumes
heavy goods. But consumers
buy goods from manufac-
turersl More buying power
for consumers means more
buying power for manufac-
turers and more demand
for heavy goods.
Since demand for automo-
biles Is already slack. says
Mr.. Lawrence, the increases
brought by wage increases
could not be passed on TO the
consumer. And higher costs,
he feels, mean either higher
prices or unemployment. But,
Mr.. Lawrence. higher wages
mean increased buying power,
and increased buying power
means greater demand for
automobiles.
Finally. says Mr.. Lawrence,
programs to increase buying
power In order TO halt un-
employment simply have not
worked In the past. He points
to the unsuccessful made
work" programs Of the New
Deal. But. Mr.. Lawrence. the
only reason these programs
were unsuccessful was be-
cause. despite increased buy
