You Con Take Up
Gorose-Door Sag

you can buy corner braces or
hangers and repair the door.
These gadgets are COM
posed Of an assembly Of two
threaded rods having fiat
plates at their end. At the
center, a turnbuckle connects
the threaded ends.
The fiat plates are screwed
into the door at the top near
the hinge and the lower plate
as close to the lower edge Of
the door as is possible. When
the turnbuckle is turned up
it lifts the lower outside sag
ging edge of the door and
restores it to proper position.
Care must be taken to put
tension on gradually so that
too much strain win not be
applied to the door at one

These rods are far more

For New Economic Order

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund has
made powerful and very timely appeal
for establishment of a new economic
structure" for the free world-to be built
primarily on a foundation of regional
trade and development arrangements.
The Fund proposes that the United
States take the leading initial role in
implementing this concept, and that
start be made by calling as soon as
possible an Inter-American Economic
Conference to include Canada as well
as all the Latin American nations. Ac-
tually, by the very nature Of the Funds
recommendations, they are addressed in
effect to all countries outside the Com
munist bloc.
In a broad sense, the Rockefeller
group is proposing the gradual subStitu-
ton of community trade and economic
relationships in place Of what it con-
siders an outmoded and no longer fully
effective reliance on bilateral agree
mentS. Indeed, with collapse of most Of
the worlds great empires, in themselves
community groupings, in recent years,
the alternative of dealing bilaterally
with eighty sovereign nations has be-
come virtually impossible. The Commu-
mist bloc has recognized this, the Fund
suggests, in building a tight community
of its own and in using its pooled re-
sources to launch "geopolitical trade
offensive" Coincidentally with the
Funds warning against this Communist
threat, the State Department issued a
comparable analysis of the Soviet
controlled economic challenge-conclud-
ing that it is "the most dangerous of
all" current Communist tactics.
Basically, the Funds proposal for
regional groups is not a revolutionary
one in the free world today. In Western
Europe, for example, the concept has
been applied in limited form through
creation of Benelux, the Coal and Steel
Community, the European Common
Market and so forth. Up to this time,
however, the United States has not par
ticipated in such joint undertakings and
the European communities themselves
have not developed to a point where
they can exercise economic influence
outside their immediate areas. AS a
consequence, many of the underdevel-
oped nationS-potentially Of great i'm
portance in terms Of their populations
and natural assetS-are isolated and
vulnerable to economic and political
penetration by the calculating Commu-
mist bloc. Our opposing strategy, up to
now, has been to respond to "a series
of separate crises" without attempting
an orderly coordination Of free world
needs and resources.
1t is a large and long-term order
that the Rockefeller group is advocating.
But 1t sees the advantage "overwhelm-
ingly" on our size, If the understanding
and effort are organized in the light Of
20thAcentury conditions.

kill the chances for both in this session
OF Congress.
There will be opposition 10 Alaskan
statehood on the Senate floor. Very
likely, as a last resort, another effort
will be made TO make a common issue

OF It being filibustered to death, and the
fact that Mr.. Knowland says he will not
support the tactic Of combining the case
for the two territories likewise decreases
that hazard.
AS for the basic merits, there is
nothing 10 be added to the arguments
In either case or on either side. Alaska's
qualifcations-in population and In po-
litical and economic development-hav
been thoroughly established. A similarly
strong case can be made for Hawaii, but
with the Alaska legislation this close TO
passage there could be no justification
for begging it down in purely political
maneuvering. 1t will be a fine thing to
welcome Alaska to full partnership in
the Union.

Guests From Manila

Our Capital City welcomes today
President Carlos P. Garcia Of the Phil
ippines. During his three-day visit here,
he and his distinguished party will con-
fer at considerable length with key
American officials on a wide range of
topics, the most important of which will
deal with his governments ambitious
plans for large-scale economic develop
ment.
AS outlined in Manila, the plans
call for public works designed to build
such things as new roads, bridges, irri-
cation systems, port facilities, sewage
plants and stable hydroelectric sta
ton. They call, in addition, for marked
expansion of private projects aimed
chiefly at increasing industrial produc-
ton and employment. To that end, Mr..
Garcia and his aides will seek major
loans from agencies like the Export-Im-
port Bank and the International Bank
for Reconstruction and Development.
Taken as a whole, the Manila gov
ernment's developmental program would
cost at least $500 million, or perhaps as
much as $500 million, and it would be
pushed forward at high speed. Some Of
our own experts have indicated that it
would attempt to do too much too soon
and that it needs to be scaled down
accordingly. However, since President
Garcia is a good friend of the United
States and since his country is bas-
ton of the free world in the Pacific, he
can be sure that his request will receive
a reasonably affirmative response.
Mr.. Garcia can be sure, too, that he
and his party, which includes his wife,
will be heartily welcome wherever they
stop as they tour America after their
brief stay here in Washington 1t is a
pleasure and honor to have them as
guests, the more so because they rep
resent young republic whose relations
with our own country are especially
warm and friendly-and of great i'm
portance to the cause of freedom in
the Pacific and Asia.

Outlook for Alaska

The prospect that Alaska will be-
come the 49th State in the Union has
frightened materially in recent days.
Statehood legislation passed by the
House late in May has been accepted
by the Senate Interior Committee as a
substitute for Senate bill, an action
which could eliminate the need for a
Senate-HouSe conference and the risk Of
a delaying deadlock over differing pro-
visions. The Senate Democratic leader
ship has cleared the measure for consid-
Grafton on the floor, probably during the
current week. And Senate Republican
Leader Knowland, favoring statehood
for both Alaska and Hawaii, has said

Tito's Hoymoker

The tough-flbered Marshal Tito has
had a good day at Labin, Yugoslavia.
In an hour-long speech there, he has cut
loose, de1antly and zestfully, with what
may be regarded as sort of theological
haymaker-a real Sunday punch that
has landed hard on all his noisy critics
throughout the Communist world from
Moscow to Peiping, including the pip
squeak puppet regimes in between.
Speaking of the latter, the Yugoslav
leader has been content to dismiss them
CONTEMPORARY as sleazy purveyors Of
palpable lies that do not fool many Of
the people under their control. AS for
the Red Chinese regime, he has attacked
1t as a vicious slanderer deliberately
seeking to distract attention from its
own grave shortcomings by using him as
q whipping boy and by following line
calculated to prevent any easing Of
international tension.
But perhaps the most significant Of
President Tito's brickbats have been
those tossed at Nikita Khrushchev and
the Kremlin. He has accused the USSR
not merely of gross mendacity, but also
of insulting all his countrymen as well
as himself. Moreover, paying warm trib-
ute to the United States for the aid it
has extended to YugoSlavia, he has lam
basted and twitted the Soviet Premier
by wryly observing that Moscow, while
attacking Belgrade for accepting such
aid, has put in bid for American trade
credits. And he has made effective use
Of oratorical irony and mockery in de-
claring that the wheat sent by our coun-
try to Yugoslavia is at least as good as
Russian wheat, which is not sent at all
(cheers and loud laughter from the
crowd in Labin).
Above all, in saying these and many
similar things, Marshal Tito has once
again vowed that he and his maverick
Red government, far from being intimi-
dated by the Peiping axis, in
tend to fight Onto victorious end
for their independent brand of COM
munism and for the principle that Yugo-
slavia has right to be its own master.
Certainly, if words mean anything, he
could not make clearer his resolve that
neither he nor his country will kowtow

Mao TSe-tung regime.
Thus the gulf between Belgrade's
theoretical" communism and the "ortho-
dox" communism of Moscow and Peiping
has grown so wide as to seem almost
unbridgeable. Only few years ago Mr..
Khrushchev and Nicolai Bulganin tried
to do away with it by abjectly apologize
ing to Marshal Tito for Stains actions,
but now it looks as bad as ever, with the
admirably unfrightened Yugoslav leader
apparently determined not to yield an
inch. The situation is one that can
hardly fail to have far-reaching roper
cussions everywhere behind the Iron
Curtain.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Brookeville road lit is
often spelled without the
middle "e"-has changed
nightly over the years, ex-
cept in one thing-width.
Though traffic is 10 times
as heavy on this winding
road through Chevy Chase.
Md, the way is still 10 feet
wide.
Thirty years ago, Temple
ton Jones delighted to walk
home along this road. where
there were two signs at the
entrance on Western avenue
just east of Chevy Chase
circle.
One sign said, "15 miles in
this village" The other read,
go miles in this village"
Today one car follows an
other, so that Jones seldom
walks this way. where there
is no sidewalk except in
places.
T. r. T. Of Jocelyn street

road:
please tell me how the
road got its name.
The other day I traced 1t
TO the East-West highway,
then caught up with 1t near
radio station WWDC and
went with it to Georgia ave-
nue. where it seemed to dis
appear.
But II it went only TO
Georgia avenue, why wasn't
it given a name Of some
settlement closer to than
Brookeville? Olney was an
early town, too, wasn't it?"
Brookeville road got its
name, Of course, from the
thriving little city of Brooke
vile, Md.
1t was to this city that
President James Madison
sped when the British took
Washington, and he fled
along Brookeville road, which
then went to what is now
East-West highway. and then
cut through the galley d.
rectly toward Brookeville.
During the next hundred
years, the old road disap-
peared, somehow, as old
roads sometimes do. owing 10
relocations and new building
etc.
Temp Jones has always
loved this road since he dis
covered 1t in 1880.
One of its chief charms
has been its l7-year locusts.
The large trees along this
highway attracted these ven
cradle singers, and they
swarmed UP into them with
a mighty roar. much to the
delight Of Jones, q great
music lover.

Human RIGHTS

Reference is made TO the
This Week" magazine
article There Can Be No
Peace Without You'll" by
Mary p. Lord, United States
representative on the UN
Commission on Hum an
Rights.
Why has the Universal
Declaration Of Human Rights
so far remained just that-a
declaration? American citi-
zenS of Eastern and Central
European descent have been
following very closely the
activities of the United Ma
tons In the area of human
rights. since many Of the
peoples Of the world who
have fallen under foreign
domination against their will
have been hoping to find In
the United Nations an effec-
tive champion Of their rights
Also the people Of my native
Latvia. now behind the Iron
Curtain, are among those
who have placed their hopes
in this international organ
ization.
Their hopes are based In
part on the Universal Decla-
ration Of Human Rights,
adopted on December 10,
1913. the preamble of which
reads in part as follows:
Whereas recognition of the
inherent dignity and Of equal
and inalienable rights of all
members of the human
family is the foundation of
freedom, justice and peace in
the world. Whereas it is
essential, il man is not to be
compelled 10 have recourse.
as a last resort, to rebellion
against tyranny and oppres-
sion, that human rights
should be protected by the
law. Now, therefore, The
General Assembly proclaims
this Universal Declaration Of
Human Rights as a common
standard Of achievement for
all peoples and all ma
tons. -"
We American Latvian 8
greatly appreciated the eff
forts and achievements of
the United States delegation
to the United Nations and we
trust that the United States
delegation. as the leader, will
strive even more to imple-
ment the principles basic TO
the declaration. The Soviet
Union, in spite of having
affixed its signature to three
documents which were in
tended to ensure peace. to
wit, the Atlantic Charter,
the Charter of the United
Nations, and the Declaration
Of Human Rights, is brutally
depressing the people of oc-
cupied Latvia.

Disputed Sites

Our Committee Of 100 on
the Federal City has an ac-
tive subcommittee on the
site for the Performing Arts
Center, under the chairman
ship of Robert Woods Bliss.
At the last meeting Of the
full Committee Of 100, after
hearing the report, we went
on record as favoring either
the Mall or river sites for the
center, but we expressed OPP
position to the use Of the
Mall site for the Air Mu-
scum.
Now there seems to be gen.
eral agreement on the advan-
tages Of the river site for the
Performing Arts Center. Also
the Act Of Congress based on
the Fulbright = Thompson
bills, signed March %, 1858,
authorizes the transfer of the
Old Patent Office, which
many Of us fought to pre-
serve, to the Smithsonian In
stitution for q national col
lection of fine arts, a national
portrait gallery and a con-
temporary arts program.
This takes care Of the con-
temporary arts center au-
thorized by Congress for the
Mall site.
If the Air Museum were to
be assigned to the Old Pen
sion Office. that would dis
pose Of the last controversial
issue and would provide for
the Smithsonian Institution
existing buildings for the
Arts and Air Museums in
convenient locations for adj
ministration. The preserva-
ton Of both the Old Patent
once. designed by Mills, and
the old Pension Office, built
in 1880 as a war memorial,
would. under this combined
program. be assured.
We believe the action sug-
gested would be in the pub
lie good.

gage in heated debate every
time they hear something
else.
Not so with T. Jones. He
will listen with a pleased
smile at the greatest and the
worst, feeling sure that there
is actually nothing bad in
any music.
Another charm Of Brooke
vile road, whose signs are
half with an "e" and half
"Brookville," is the meander-
ing.
1t turns and twists. so that
one walks carefully, II wise.
The straight road has its
uses, especially in warfare.
But in the eternal war" Of
the everyday, the curved one
is best. more pleasing to
mans senses. and with a DIFF
ferent picture at every turn.
After all. man likes the I'M
expected vista. and a crook
ed road gives it to you.
No matter how often he
walked Brookeville road. in
the old days. Templeton
Jones loved what he saw at
each turn. 1t was a happy
little pleasure. but a good
one.
Now Jones walks with
caution, as the long fat cars
flash past him. Something
has happened TO his America.
and 1t happened TO the road,
too. 1t has happened TO all
roads, everywhere, whatever
their name.
Something will have to
change, won't it. If America
and Brookeville road-are
TO regain their old glory.
There is some story about
a bridge falling down on the
other side Of East West high
way, after which the old
section Of the road was
abandoned.
