Dangerous Delay

Engineer Commissioner yelling,
being in possession of the undiSputed
facts, has good cause to be concerned
over the failure of Congress to grant
the full 100000 needed by the Army
Corps of Engineers to expedite survey
of the Potomac River Basin. The facts
are that long period of drought, COM
bined with constantly increasing con-
sumption of water in the Washington
area, would pose threat to health
and safety. Only the construction
of storage reservoirs on the upper river
could avert this threat, and such relief
projects cannot be started until the
engineeripg survey is completed.
Although the Army Engineers and
District authorities strongly urged
100000 appropriation to make up for
tagging funds and tagging progress in
the immediate past, only 100000 was
voted. This means that the survey will
continue behind schedule and that any
Improvements to insure an adequate
water supply must be postponed further.
The Engineer Commissioners plea for
widespread public support at the next
session for larger appropriation should
be needed not only by officials and citi-
zenS of Washington but by nearby juriS-
dictions whose welfare also depends on
SUFFICIENT flow of water in the Potomac
at all times.

Better Looking Figures

The helpful impact of antireceSSion
legislation enacted last spring is re-
f1ected in the most important degree
thus far in two sets of economic sta
tistics just released by the Commerce
and Labor Departments. Both apply to
the month of July and offer real en-
couragement that the most recent bust
ness slump actually has recorded its low
point and that recovery even though
slow and irregular, is under way.
The Commerce Department an
nouncement dealt with personal income,
estimated in July at an annual rate Of
$354.5 billion-a record high rate for
any month and continuing the progress
noted since last February's low for the
year. The favorable figure reflects pay
increases voted to civilian employees of
the Federal Government, but does not
include the retroactive payments made
under the same authorization. More
significant as clue to business condi-
tionS, however, was the showing that
private industry payrollS for July ad-
vanced for the second straight month
by about 81 billion on an annual rate
basis.
From the Labor Department came
the figures that private housing starts
in July totaled 1O7,SOO, the highest for
any month since May, 1856, and indi-
eating an annual rate of 1,160, 000-like-
wise the highest in more than two years.
Liberalization of mortgage insurance
programs under Jurisdiction of the Fed
eral Housing Administration and the
Veterans Administration was credited
with much of this improvement, but the
department also noted that mortgage
money in general is becoming more
available.
In short, the third quarter appears
to have gotten off to good start. How
the overall economy will fare for the
complete. year may depend most of all
on how things go in Detroit in the COM
ing few weekS-on the course of the
encouragement negotiations in the
automobile industry and the indicated
demand for the new cars that will be
showing up in early fall.

DR.. Stokes, who died last week, poured
a lifetime of observation, scholarship
and activity into his monumental three
volume Church and State in the United
States" Those concerned with the re-
lationship between the Constitution and
religious freedom consider this work
basic to further studies in the field.
The is years-from 1924 to 1889
he spent here as a canon of Washington
Cathedral contributed greatly to the
genesis of the study. He devoted Is of
the years left to him in retirement to
the completion of this task.
But DR.. Stokes interests tran
scended any one area. A gracious Chris
tan gentleman with keen sense Of
humor and an instinct for making

The Minority Leader

When the 35th Congress adjourns 1t
is assured now that its legislative record
will be considered good and construc-
tive one. The credit may be widely dis
tributed, in both branches and on both
sides Of the party aisle. But because he
is retiring, at least temporarily, from
the Washington scene, 1t is appropriate
that special tribute be paid the Senate
Minority Leader, CALIFORNIA; William F.
Knowland.
Mr.. Knowland was major in the
United States Army in France when he
was appointed, in 1945, to replace the
late Senator Hiram Johnson. In 1916,
the California voters Endorsed this APP
pointment and in 1852 they returned Mr..
Knowland to the Senate by the largest
vote ever cast for any candidate in that
State. He is running now for Governor,
but the shifting complexion of California
politics has made him the underdog in
race against Democratic Attorney
General Pat Brown. With time for cam
paigning growing short, it is typical Of
Mr.. Knowland's sense of conscience and
duty thathe has placed his responsible
ties as minority leader ahead of his
personal political fortunes to remain
here until adjournment.
Mr. Knowland's Senate career has
not been free of strife, in and out of his
party. Once youthful rival of the late
Senator Taft for Republican leadership,
he was chosen by Mr. Taft personally
as the latter's successor. Nobody can
push him around" Mr.. Taft said in ex-
planning the choice. 1t is true that no
body has pushed Mr.. Knowland around.
At times he has differed with his own
party's administration, and often with
the opposition. But 1t was significant
and not surprising that spokesman Of
both parties rose In the Senate last June,
on Mr.. Knowland's 50th birthday, to
speak in warmeSt terms of "hiS integrity,
his convictions and his courage" Mr..
Knowland has demonstrated them all
in what he considered the best interests
of his country-above party or person.
He will leave the Senate with the I'M
qualified respect of those who have
served with him, and of those who have
observed his service.
