Down Payment

Insistence of the House on short
changing the District with reference to
the Federal payment does not alter the
fact that larger sum must be voted
at the next session. The $50 million
approved by the House, and finally
agreed to reluctantly by the more liber-
ally inclined Senate, represents only a
down payment on what actually is need
ed to keep the Districts head above
water, financially speaking.
The House-sponSored $50 million
payment is So million under the Federal
obligation authorized in 1856 and it is
$l2 million below the $50 million pay
ment authorized by the House as well as
the Senate only few months ago. In
the meantime Congress has added about
SIS million to the cost of running the
District by passing pay legislation to
equalize municipal employees. salaries
with those of Federal workers.
Obviously, this is no time to reduce
the Federal payment below the amount
so recently found by Congress to be
essential to orderly development of the
Nations Capital. And inevitably the
grave problem of District finances must
be reconsidered when Congress meets
In January.
Fortunately, number of Repre-
SentativeS and Senators have made it
plain that they are dissatisfied with
the failure of Congress to live up to
its authorizations. They may be relied
upon to renew the battle for fiscal fair
ness at the next session. And a sense
of fairness will dictate a more realistic
Federal payment than the one which
has prevailed in the past few years.

Lenin Stadium Summit

Soviet Russia and the United States
met at a summit" this week in Lenin
Stadium, Moscow. And not surprisingly,
after 1t was all over, there was some
question as to who had come out ahead
precisely the question that seems to
surround all summit meetings This was,
of course, track and field meeting in
which political doctrine was no match
for muscle. On this basis, the American
mems team scored 126-to-109 victory
while the Russian women piled up g.
to-44 margin over Uncle Sans athletic
nieceS. Combined, as the Soviet scorers
prefer, the points went 172 to the Rus
slams and ITO to the visiting Americans.
Actually, there were several things
about this meet that seem more mean
ingful than the point scores or the
relatively mild controversy surrounding
them. The quality of the Russian per-
formances, for example, was such as to
leave no further question about the
Soviet drive for world leadership in
sports. Some Of their individual VIC
tories came in American Specialties-
such as the high Jump and pole vault
and it is not difficult to project this
weeks performances into even better
ones when Soviet team pays its Sched-
uled visit to Philadelphia next summer.
At the same time, there was nothing
sub-par about the American showing.
Even while losing, the American women
did better than generally expected. And

Wilson VS.. Gavin

Lieutenant General James M. Gavin,
now retired, is as fallible human being
as any of us. So he may be wrong in
some of the bleak and unfiattering judg-
ments he has set forth in his new book.
In effect, the. book warns that our coun-
try's present military position is far
from good, and it blames former Defense
Secretary Charles E. Wilson for having
made bad decisions that are primarily
responsible for that position.
Since this is field of controversy in
which opinions differ very markedly,
even among those best qualified to talk
about it, the average layman would be
foolish to take sides in dogmatic fash
ion. Still, General Gavin is unquestion-
ably one of our most distinguished mill
tary men, and what he has to say merits
respectful attention. Certainly, conSid-
ering his exceptionally fine record, his
views deserve something much better
than Mr.. Wilson'S comment: II know
Gavin and he is just another overly in
flated Army officer with an exaggerated
regard of his ability. He's just trying to
sell his book"
General Gavin, needless to say, is
not just trying to sell his book On the
contrary, right or wrong, he is trying to
alert the Nation to situation which he
believes to be full of exceedingly grave
potential danger, especially so if the
Russians actually are as far ahead of us
In ballistic missiles as some reports indi-
cate The former Defense Secretary has
not helped to clarity the true status of
our position by his Slurring comment on
General Gavin.

Heod-On Collision

George Meany and Jimmy Hoffa
appear to be rushing directly toward a
head-on collision within the labor move
ment this month. On August IA, Team
Ster President Hoffa will preside at an
initial meeting of his newly formed Con-
ference on Transportation Unity-called
in this instance to patch up differences
between rival East and West Coast dock
unions and to formulate common poll
icy on new techniqueS in the shipping
industry" On August 10, AFL-CIO
President Meany will lay before the Fed
eration'S Executive Council his own dis
approving views of continuing friendly
relationships between his unions and
the ouSted Transfers
Meanwhile, the personal quality Of
the feuding-reminiScent of some other
bitter personal fights in organized la
boris hiStory-has emerged ever more
clearly in an exchange of statements by
the two men.
Mr.. Meany, answering a peace-at-
any-price editorial in the Chicago Fed
Grafton News, struck at the Corruption
and racketeering" in the Teamster lead
erShip and served notice that he is OPP
posed personally to such joint ventures
as organizing pacts or jurisdictional
agreements. Since its expulsion from
the Federation last year, the Transfers
Union has made several such alliances
with unions still in the AFL-CIO. In
Mr. Meany's expressed opinion these
arrangements are both evil and danger
Gus when involving union that has
been the victim of Shameless exploita-
ton" by its own leadership. For his
part, Mr.. Hoffa snapped back that his
union will go on supporting Legitimate"
activities of the Federation despite
what Mr.. Meany says"
More than words may be involved
in the next rounds. 1t is still possible
that the AFL-CIO may set up new
union for diSsident locals of the Team
sters. And Mr.. Hoffa's transport con-
ference may yet become the framework
for rival labor federation. Either devel-
opment would, no doubt, mean period
Of bitter labor strife in which the ma
tional welfare might be greatly affected
In the long run, however, Mr.. MeanyS
position of no compromise with corrup-
ton is in the best interests of the labor
movement and of the public interest in
general
