Khrushchev's Abb

When Nikita Khrushchev
simultaneously credits his re-
cent attack on tiny Hungary
with preventing World War
III he places himself in an
even weaker position than the
man who credits himself with
preventing murder because
he stopped assaulting a woman.

considered based on the prin-
ciple of what is just and what
is right.
1t must be called to atten-
ton, however. that a sound
foreign policy must be versa
tile. The never-ending march
of events calls for a vision that
contemplateS effective alter
natives in tight situations, as
we'll as calm, dispassionate and
concrete actions designed to
make new friends and keep
old ones.
To capitalize on the mo-
mentum gained by our recent
actions on the Anglo-French-
Israeli-Egyptian issue, it seems
timely to suggest some specific
change in Americas tradi-
tional attitude to her
African-Asian neighbors. Our
foreign aid projects in these
countries, for example. could
be considered we'll conceived.
They speak well of a dynamic
and forward looking foreign
policy for making and keeping
friends, and should be encour-
aged, even extended. But the
means Of attaining their OBJ
jectiveS are as important as
the ends involved. Their mis-
application or an oversight in
their proper and judicious use
may not only sell America
short; it easily can lead to
misunderstanding of our mo-
tives.
Thankfully. history has pro-
vided the United States with
adequate resources for reach
ing the desired ends. 1t has
placed within our immediate
grasp a conglomeration of
peoples. each specifically
adaptable to Americas best in
terestS.
In the case of Africa. for in
stance. there are Is million
Americans of African descent
from whom a dependable. &C
ceptable and workable corps
of ambassadors of good will
could be found to sell the
United States effectively to
that continent of the new chal-
lenge both in a government
and people-to-people basis).
That there is such a dearth of
these nationals in Africa hard
ly testifies to complete fore
sight. And those of us who
have travelled to that continent
know from experience and
contact that the African is apt
to evaluate United States mo-
tives more by the absence of
Americans Of African descent
serving in our missions than
by the size or extent of the
projects themselves. Love is
still essentially more product
Of example than Of precept.
Nothing could be more eff
fective in dispelling many of
the misconceptions held about
the United States in the dark
continent" than a straightfor-
ward expression Of the pride
which we feel in the progress
made by our Acknowledgement
sons and daughters under
Americas free institutions.
In the face of International
communism and its bold bid
for the minds Of the people
who live in the underdeveloped
areas, including the Africans.
it is inconceivable that such
a critical area of our foreign
relations should be even par
TALLY overlooked.
To take hold of this situa-
ton. it is suggested that more
Negroes be encouraged to join
the foreign service; eligible
members of this powerful mi
nority be sent to serve among
the peoples of Africa; more
high-level foreign mission
posts be opened to trained and
experienced Negroes, and a
definite plan to be devised to
encourage people to people
contacts between Americans
and Africans.

The best documented de-
layed effect Of atomic radiation
is some form Of the invariably
fatal malady, leukemia, an
uncontrolled over production
Of white blood cells.
The condition is likely to
appear about six years after
excessive radiation and after
the victim apparently has re-
covered from all bad effects.
The probability of leukemia
continues at least up to nine
years.
The most complete story
comes from the wartime
bombings of Hiroshima and
NagaSaki. The calculations are
contained in a report on the
hazards of radiation just is
sued by the Medical Research
Council of Great Britain. The
conclusions are somewhat COM
plicated by the fact that in
England and Wales the Incl
dence of the disease has in
creased about flve-fold in the
past few years without any
notable increase in radiation
exposure. Some of the ap-
parent increase may be due to
better reporting by doctors,
but some of 1t undoubtedly is
real.
Deaths Increase
During the eight years from
1947 to 1854. the report points
out, about Is deaths from leu
kemia would have been ex-
pected from the population Of
the same size and having the
same age and sex distribution
as that of the Japanese cities.
There have been 81 recorded
deaths.
Elsewhere, the report points
out. there is accommodating evil
dence that excessive radiation
produces delayed leukemia.
This has resulted especially
from X-ray treatment for a
disease known as ankylosing
Spondylitis. This is a malady
which affects chiefly the bones
OF the spine and to a lesser ex-
tent those of the pelvis and
shoulders. 1t usually starts in
early adult life and is about
six times more frequent in men
than in women. Patients are
given X-ray treatments to re-
lieve pain and the progress of
the disease may be permanent
ly halted. The treatment in
wolves exposing a large section
Of the body directly to the x
radiation and more nearly APP
proaches whole-body radia-
ton, such as would come from
bomb explosion, than that
which would be given for any
other non-malignant medical
condition.
An analysis HAS been made
of the hospital records Of be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 vic
tins Of this disease treated
with X-rays in British hospi-
tails in the past 20 years. Call
culations show that the in
cidence Of leukemia among

Matter of Fact

A letter by ]. Conway Hunt,
January 2, contained several
factual errors concerning the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion.
Mr.. Hunt referred to a g.
acre tract which he says was
acquired by the commission as
part of the Little Falls Branch
Park system in 1852 and which
he said were part of the Cap
per-Cramton system.
This 6-acre tract was not
included within the park-tak-
ing lines of Little Falls Branch
Park. This 6-acre tract was
acquired from the county at a
delinquent tax sale at a
minimum cost to the taxpay-
ers. 1t was acquired because
the commission thought it
might be used at some future
Ga as part of Little Falls
Branch Park.
Further study of land in the
area revealed that there was
other acreage which was bet
ter suited for park purposes
than the 6-acre tract. The
commission therefore ex-
changed this property with
w. C. and A. N. Miller, de-
velopers Of Sumner, for land
within the rk-taking lines
of Little Falls Branch Park.
This latter tract is much more
ideally located to provide a
continuity Of the stream val
ley park.
In it's Master Plan of
Schools. Parks and Recrea-
ton the commission recon-
r,-ads that a local park for the
Sumner area be centrally
located in the area bounded
by Massachusetts avenue. the
BIO Railroad, Macarthur
boulevard and Sangamore
road to serve the residential
area to which Mr.. Hunt re-
ferS.
AS far as the commissions
park acquisition program is
concerned. it should be noted
that the commission has had
a fixed 7 cents park tax since
1880 despite tremendous popu-
lation growth and increases
in other county tax rates to
meet the need for expanded
services.
1t should also be noted that
the commission in 1856 ac-
quired in Montgomery County.
approximately 400 acres of
stream valley park land under
the Capper-Cramton Act at a
cost of $885.O00. This money
represented the proceeds of a
bond issue sold by the COM
mission last year. Our tax
rate now is inadequate to pay
the principal and interest on
any additional bond issues and
to properly maintain and de-
velop the expanding park
system. This commission
therefore would appreciate
Mr.. Hunts assistance and the
assistance of other Mont
gomery County citizens in
seeking additional fun d S
through an increase in the
park tax and a rise in the
commissions bonded de b t
limitation so that the citi-
zens can get the type of park
system they need and which
this commission is eager to
provide. Sidney M. Oliver.
