crisis of confidence in our
leadership has sapped the
strength and determination of
the great alliance.
Our Democratic approach to
this fundamental question is
in contrast to the adminiStra-
tons narrow minded attitude.
We believe that an economy of
abundance can help to solve
our international as well as our
domestic problems. We know
that a growing and expanding
economy means that all the
funds necessary can be made
available for defense, for health
and for education, for eco
nomic foreign aid.
The productivity of the
American economy Is so i'm
mense that the United States
need not be afraid of adopting
stable additional national Sc
curity programs when they are
needed to support security and
liberty in the Free World.
To those who ask what will
happen to the United States
economy as a result of a sub
Stantial increase in our defense
effort, our answer is clear.
Councils Statement
On October 20. 1857. the
Democratic Advisory Council
stated, in part:
The dominant feature of
our economy. since 1888. is
that great new resources-fac-
tories, supplies of materials
and production and distribu-
ton channelS-have come into
being.
THE increase in national
product. brought by these new
resources and a forward-look-
ing national economic policy.
put it well within our capacity
to strengthen national secur-
ity. and to meet both our in
ternational responsibilities and
the needs of our own rapidly
growing population.
ITO say that greater expend-
itures wisely made weaken our
economic structure is quite I'M
true. To base our foreign poll
cy on such fears and ignor-
ance invites the fate which
usually overtakes the timid and
the weak"
Republican leadership is al
ways timid and weak. The
Republicans have had but one
strong President = Abraham
Lincoln. who. unfortunately
was assassinated. They had
one who was great for publicity
in connection with those things
which. afterwards. were put
into effect by Woodrow Wilson
and Franklin Roosevelt. That
man was Theodore Roosevelt,

it followed a strange policy of
cutting down our scientific and
military strength. Instead of
making an expanding economy

it concentrated on high profits
for the already bloated bond
holders and high interest rates
for the moneylenders. all at
the expense of the home buyer
and small businessmen. This
policy has helped the SovietS
and has hurt the Free World.
The SovietS have always hoped
we would have another 1929 de-
preston. Unfortunately. the Re-
publicanS, like the old French
Bourbons. never learn anything
and never forget the special
privilege class.
Results Depicted
We can see the results all
around us:
There are 4 or S million men
and women looking for work,
and millions more working only
part time-and the number is
growing. That is according to
the Secretary of Commerce,
who. I'd say, is not on our side.
Meanwhile, the farmers are
told to get off the land and join
the ranks of the unemployed.
Let the Government pay you
for no production. Fire your
farm help and add them to the
relief rolls. Bankruptcies have
never been higher except dur
ing the last Republican depres-
sion.
While men and factories are
idle. school programs are neg
lected. colleges are short Of
funds. hospitals are over
crowded while half of the peo-
pie of the country cannot af-
ford to pay doctor and hospital
bills. highways need rebuilding,
and Slum clearance is tagging.
Our great New Deal and Fair
Deal programs Of security-for
the aged. for the unemployed,
for broken families-have been
allowed to stagnate until the
level of benefits in this rich
land of ours is a national scam
dial.
And in spite of the Republic
can recession. the Republicans
manage to keep prices going
upward. This is quite a feat,
to have price imitation and re-
ceSslon at the same time. We
had hard time getting a satel-
lite off the ground. but it was
no trick at all for them to shoot
the cost of living into outer
snare

The most terrifying result of
this five-year period of Re-
publican complacency. however,
is that the Soviet Union has
been determinedly driving
ahead with all the fierce energy
that a dictatorship can COM
mand. while we have slipped
backward in relative strength.
We have been SlaShing our con-
ventional armed forces year by
year. We have failed to bring
our weapons up to date. and
we have failed to go full speed

new weapons and missiles.
Democrats have been pointing
out this dangerous lag ever
since 1858. when one of the
new administrations first acts
was to chop SIS billion off the
expansion of the Air Force.
But these Democratic pro-
tests were voiced in vain until

rible we cannot assure our sur
vival with certainty no matter
what we do. But the best chance
Of survival is the maintenance,
with our allies. Of the strongest
possible defense system. This is
very. very expensive in terms
Of money. When we come to
decide whether or not we are
willing to pay the price. the
question is not What it is con-
venient for us to pay?" Rather.
the question is What is it
worth to survivor"
The answer Of the Demo-
cratic Party must be clear and
unequivocal: We are prepared
to devote to our survival all
Of our wealth and resources
that are needed and can be eff
fectively used for that purpose.
Remember the last sentence
in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence:
"And for the support Of this
Declaration. with a firm reli-
ance on Divine Providence. we
mutually pledge to each other
our lives. our fortunes and our
sacred honor"
How Important
Remember this too. my
friends-mere survival is not
our only concern. How we sur
vive is far more important
whether we survive as free men
and a Nation unafraid-or as
a covering. frightened people
in retreat. We must do what is
necessary to survive as a free
people, no matter what the
cost.
Indeed. I do not see how any
sane man, whatever his politics,
who has the courage to face
the facts, and the sense to
understand them, could arrive
at any other answer. But ap-
parently some people-people
in high places-have arrived at
a different answer and are now
basing our national policy upon
1t. Or @ns it would be more
accurate Y that they really
have not al red at any answer
and that weshave no national
policy on this vital question
except to follow the line of least
resistance. Again. it may be
that they have not arrived at
the right answer because they
have not even asked themselves
the right question.

Army Set to Approve
3-Yeor yelling Term

The Army's chief of en-
gineers has expressed willing
ness to leave District Engineer
Commissioner Alvin C. yelling
in his Washington post for at
least another two years, it was
reported last night.
Mai. Gen. Lewis w. Prentiss
(retired). president of the Fed
eral City Council and former
Engineer Commissioner, said
Maj. Gen. Emerson C. Itschner
gave this assurance after an
inquiry from the council.
The council recently asked
that the District Engineer Com
missioner. who is assigned here
by the President on recon-
mendation Of the chief Of en-
gineers, be regularly allowed
q three-year term.
A three-man council COM
mittee asked Gen. Itschner for
q meeting on the question. but
the engineer chief said he was
already in favor Of the pro-
posal and no meeting was
necessary, Gen. Prentiss said.
Col. yelling took note of the
assignment matter in broad
cast last night on WWDC.
There has been some criti-
cism that the engineer COM
missioners have been rotated
too fast" he said. "Presuma
bly, this will be corrected in
my administration" he added
Gen. Prentiss pointed out
that a three-year term would
be in accord with Army routine
for tours Of duty.
He also noted, however, that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-04-20

the exact term is dependent
on the White House rather
than on the engineer corps.
Col. yelling was assigned
here last August. His predeces-
sor. Maj. Gen. (then Brig.
GEM Thomas A. Lane, served
here 80 months. Gen. PrentisS
served % months and Mai.
Gen. Bernard L. Robinson, his
predecessor. 10 months.
The National Capital Re-
gional Planning Council. of
which Col. yelling is chair
man. urged President Eisen-
hover in December to set u
six-year term for the engineer
commissioner.
The council said the commits
sioner is a key figure in area
and city planning and should

becoming expert on area prob
lens.

the councils action.

Test Case Ruling Due
On DC. Health Edict

The Health Department has
threatened to prosecute the
proprietor of a Washington res
taurant under a controversial
new Interpretation Of health
regulations.
Philip A. Guarino, proprietor
Of Pills Italian Restaurant,
1903 Georgia avenue NV, on
March 10 was notified he must
install new lavatory facilities
or face prosecution.
The Guarino restaurant was
opened only last year. 1t was
approved then by health in
:spectors.
But William H. Cary. who
became head of the city's Bu-
reau of Food and Public Health
Engineering last July said the
establishment does not comply
with the rules as his bureau
is now interpreting them.
Without Health Department
clearance, Mr.. Guarino faces
loss of his restaurant license.
Mr. Guarino has appealed to
the Districts Board of Appeals
and Review. A hearing is
scheduled Thursday.
officials regard the case as
q test of considerable import
ance. c. T. Nottingham. super
intehdent Of licenses and per-
mits. estimated yesterday that
at least 100 other restaurants
: come into the same category
as Mr.. Guarino with respect to
the disputed regulations.
The changes ordered by the
Health Department in Mr..
Guarino's case are two. The
department said the restaurant
must have wash basins within
toilet rooms. At present, basins
are in anterooms. The depart
ment also said a hand basin
: must be installed behind the
: restaurants service bar, used
for preparing alcoholic bever-
ages.
Mr.. Guarino has contested
both orders.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-04-20

Mr.. Cary said the regulations
specify that restaurant toilet
rooms must be equipped with
hand basins. At the time they
were written, legal officers re-
jected a proposal to require
that basins be in separate
rooms. partly as too costly to
restaurants which would have
had to make structural changes,
he said.
Charles w. Hart, hearing Of
ficer Of the Board Of Appeals.
has taken issue with the Cary
stand. Mr.. Hart has recon-
mended that the board override
