out downtown sections OF cities. In
many areas, the unique opportunity pre-
scented by redevelopment-the chance to
clear vast urban areas and to rebuild
from scratch-has been wasted. South
west Washington is not in this category
because Of the attractive general South
west plan submitted by William Zecken-
dorf. The waterfront, however, is one
Of the key elements Of the plan which
still is open as to the type and character
Of new development.
All this places heavy responsibility
upon the RIA The waterfront property
has the natural advantages of easy ac-
cess, proximity to the central area, an
already attractive river overlook and
a traditional association with Seafood
restaurants, shops and marinas. Every
effort must be made to obtain from it
the highest possible economic yield for
the city's sorely pressed tax base. But
less tangible values must receive equal
consideration to insure that the water
front becomes a particular asset not
only to the new Southwest, but to the
entire city.

Park VS.. Water Supply

Current hearings before House
Public Lands subcommittee on the bill to
preserve the old Chesapeake & Ohio Ca
nal as park and parkway have brought
out the importance of an amendment to
safeguard WaShington'S water supply.
Such an amendment was voted by the
Senate when it passed the canal bill
some time ago. 1t provides that esthetic
and recreational considerations will give
way to health and safety considera-
lions wherever there may be conflict
between park preservation and water
supply projects.
The condition is vital to Washing
ton, Arlington and all other commune
ties which now depend, or later may
depend, on the Potomac River for water
for drinking, sanitation and fire protec-
ton. Army engineers engaged in sur
vey of the river for future development
have indicated that one or more dams
will be required on the upper stretches
of the river to insure an adequate water
supply a few years hence. Some of
these construction projects would en-
croach on land included in the proposed
canal parkway Congress should see to
1t that the final parkway legislation
leaves the door open for essential engi-
neering measures to safeguard the water
supply for the Washington Metropolitan
Area in the foreSeeable future.

Gordon Dean

Gordon Dean, one of the victims of
the tragic Nantucket plane crash, served
the American people with distinction
during his 1950-53 Craftsmanship of the
Atomic Energy Commission. This was
the period in which he directed the Aces
massive program of expansion, expert
ment and productions program that
vastly increased our supply of A-weapons
of varying types and magnitudes of de-
StructiveneSS. In addition Mr. Dean was
a prime mover behind the drive that
finally armed our country with the hy-
drogen bomb, and he played key role,
too in advancing the development of the
nuclear submarine and in pushing ahead
with projects Harvesting the atom for
industrial power and other benehcent
purposes. When he retired to enter pri-
vate business, he maintained an active
and highly knowledgeable interest in all
these undertakings. Certainly, had not
death suddenly cut him down, at the
age of So, he would have continued
through the years to serve as a source
of wise counsel bearing upon both mill
tary and nonmilitary progress in the
field His passing in that sense consti-
tuteS real national loss, and many here
in Washington, who remember him well
as a fine personality and an exception
ally able administrator, feel 1t as a
personal loss.

Waterfront Opportunity

The slightly staggering proposal by
o. Roy Chalk to buy several blocks Of
Southwest waterfront for $50 million
commercial development is another en-
couraging sign of reawakened interest
in the big Southwest redevelopment
area
We don't know, of course, what will
come of Mr.. Chalks proposition, and
neither, for that matter, do the redevel-
opment officials who will have charge
OF the lands disposition. For the mo-
ment, however, that isn't too important,
and a decision on selection of private
redeveloper should not be rushed. The
important and highly gratifying thing
Is that a number Of private bids already
are in active competition for this land,
and no doubt others will follow. This
will provide the Redevelopment Land
Agency and the community as whole
with a rare opportunity to evaluate
variety of proposals for the new water
front, and then to determine the best
possible use for it.
One Of the great diSappointments
of redevelopment projects in many parts
of the country is that they have failed to

evidence of corrective action.
These diesel buses are so
noisy they cause the following
nuisances to the citizens who
live on or near the bus routes:
Citizens are unable to get
proper rest and sleep in their
homes. Citizens are unable
to listen to TV, radio, music,
etc., in their homes while
buses are within a block and
passing homes. Citizens are
unable to carry on a con-
versation in their homes
while buses are within a block

are unable to talk on tele-
phone while buses are within

These buses are creating a

Some residential areas have
as many as three routes. e.g.,

these multiple routes every

You Pay Your Money.

Two Senate statements during the
past week bring into sharp focus the
dilemma of the American citizen. It is
one Of those NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
your-choice dilemmaS, with the citizen
being assured that disaster awaits him
at the end of either road he chooses.
Senator Kennedy Of Massachusetts,
was talking about the years of the
gap"-the period between 1860 and 1854,
when, in his judgment, the United
States will be in the gravest danger as
a consequence of Soviet missile superior
ity. He attributes this prospect in large
measure to "complacency"-to what he
calls our willingness to place fiscal Sc
curity ahead of national security" In
his judgment, we are inviting the dis
aster that would destroy all budgets"
and the Massachusetts, Senator urges
that we spend whatever amount of
money is needed to close, or to narrow,
the gap. He does not say how much
money should be spent, but it is clear
that he is thinking in terms which go
far beyond anything proposed by the
administration.
At the other extreme, Senator Byrd
of Virginia has raised different warn
ing signal. He thinks we are spending
and are planning to spend too much,
although he did not equate this Specifi-
cally with defense spending. He noted,
however, that the deficit in the last fiscal
year was 1913 billion, and that this years
deficit is expected to be around $12 bill
lion. This, he says, indicates runaway
budget which will destroy much of the
purchasing power of our present 5O-cent
dollar unless we change our course"
says Senator Byrd, I'VE are going to
certain disaster in our fiscal economy.
When the American dollar goes down,
then the currency of the world col
lapSeS."
This conflict of views, of course, is
not new thing. 1t has been expressed
before. One has an uncomfortable feel
ing, however, that the conflict is heading
for SHOWDOWN showdown in which
the American taxpayer is going to get
it in the neck regardless of which view
prevails.
