Dangerous Delay

There is danger In delaying COM
pletion Of the tagging engineering sur
vey Of the Potomac River Basin The
District Commissioners were justified,
therefore, in coming to the support of
the Army Engineers in their urgent
request for adequate funds to expedite
the studies authorized by Congress two
years ago.
David Aud, director of sanitary en-
cheering for the District, has reason
to be concerned over the water supply
outlook in the years Immediately ahead.
Although there is now sufficient water
in the river for needs Of the Washington
area even when the level is low, the
consumption Of water is increasing each
year at a rate that could result In a
grave shortage by 1870. The only an
Swer to this problem of future supply,
the engineers assert, is series of i'm
pounding reservoirs to store water In
times Of plenty. Without such regula-
ton Of the flow Of water, residents Of
the Metropolitan Area few years hence
may face serious water, firehghting and
sanitation emergencies.
1t was with a view to controlling
the river in the future that Congress
directed the Army Engineers to begin a
comprehensive survey, with special at
tention to water requirements Of WASH
ington and its suburban communities.
1t was estimated that the study would
cost in the neighborhood OF 81 million.
But so far Congress has appropriated
only $4,000 for the work. Pending
before the House and Senate Appro-
priations Committees is request for
100000 with which to carry on the
survey. Actually, more than twice that
sum will be needed to enable the en-
gineers to make up lost time. That is
why the Commissioners have urged that
100000 be made available at this SEES
sion for speeding up the study. The
request is reasonable. 1t would be false
and risky economy to hold back funds
which are needed to plan measures for
assuring the Nations Capital Of a never
falling supply Of water for drinking, FIRE
protection and sewage disposal.

Saudi Foreign Policy

Crown Prince Feisal, who recently
assumed broad powers at the top of the
Saudi Arabian government, has taken
the first formal step to clarity his course
on foreign policy. His government, he
has proclaimed, will take a position of
positive neutraliSm" in the intra-Arab
rivalry existing between the United
Arab Republic and the Arab Federation
Of Iraq and Jordan. At the same time,
the Premier-Foreign Minister pledged
that every effort will be made to main
tain and to strengthen relations with
the United States-a policy that King
Saud had done much to develop before
the brotherly shift Of power in Riyadh.
On its face, at least, Feisal's decla-
ration should allay the fears in some
quarters that the Saudi strong man
might take sides against the pro-
Western Arab Federation or that he
might reveal some suspected anti
AmericaniSm. Actually, there has been
no tangible evidence before or since his
accession to greater authority that
Feisal was anti-American or anti
Western beyond the bounds of being
normally pro-Arab. Like most of the
leading figures of the Arab world today,
FeiSal is nationalist" in the sense
that he is both wary of and opposed
to any suggestion of foreign political
control. The Saud family itself, in
Guiding the late King Ibn Saud and
the brothers who have shared power
more recently, has been implacably anti
Communist and there is no indication
that Feisal feels different.
Much Of Feisal's attention since as
Stunning his new powers has been d.
rected at recognizing the Saudi gov
eminent and attempting to improve its
management Of fiscal affairs. AS a
third force" in the political maneuver-
ing within the Arab world, the Crown
Prince could help to bring new stabil-
ity to the area. At this point, his indi-
Gated course seems wise one.

Most Satisfactory Solution

The White House decision to seek
a change in the Constitution avenue
bridge location is the only really salts
factory solution to an almost hopelessly
complicated dilemma. We hope Con-
gress quickly approves the change so
the critically needed bridge can proceed
with minimum of delay.
1t is ironic that the new location
recommended by Interior Secretary
Seaton-acroSs the end of Roosevelt
Island and north of the Lincoln Me-
mortal AREAS the same one which all
Federal and District agencies agreed
three years ago was the most desirable.
1t failed then because 1t was sabotaged
on Capitol Hill by Federal park and
planning officials who wanted no bridge
at all With the power Of the President
now fully behind the proposal, however.
such spectacle is not likely to be re-
peated.
Mr.. Seaton's decision to delay the
bridge was not an easy one, for he made
1t eminently clear that he feels a new
bridge is essential. Countering this,
however, was an obligation to preserve
as much Of the beautiful Lincoln Me-
mortal area as possible, and Mr.. Seaton
simply was not able to reconcile the
great esthetic damage that would be
done by the bridge and its maze of APP
proach roads as originally planned. In
his struggle with these two concerns,
he made the only honest decision he
could-to accomplish both aims at the
expense of little more time.
There should be no problem in win
ming fast congressional approval of the
slightly modified bridge site. As first
STEP however, Mr.. Seaton should confer
with the District to make certain that
the new legislation he is drafting salts
fies all the needs Of traffic. Then, for
the first time in five years, a solid front
Of support for the change can be taken
to Congress.

The Atom and Mans Future
An excellent outline OF tn

An excellent outline Of the atoms
role In the present and future life of
man (this assumes, OF course, that there
is going to be a future) can be found
in the address Or. Libby Of the Atomic
Energy Commission has Just delivered
In California. His views are essentially
optimistic, and although they are in
that respect rather rare In these days,
they seem to be based on solid ground.
At any rate, DR.. Libby has presented
a persuasive picture OF how the atoms
immense power for benefcent progress is
only beginning TO be tapped. Citing the
worldwide cooperation already set In
motion by our bilateral agreements with
other countries and by such highly
promising organizations as the Inter-
national Atomic Energy Agency, he has
strongly affirmed that the potentially
of this power "is just now being realized
and, great and ominipotent as 1t has
proved to be in warfare, its pre-eminence
in peaceful applications should be Just
as great"
More than that, according to DR..
Libby, the resources available for this
prospective nonmilitary nuclear develop
ment are so enormous that nobody need
worry now about their possible exhauS-
ton. On the contrary, even though
the earth's population continues to in
crease at fantastic rate, all of us can
be reasonably certain that those re-
sources will remain adequate for a long

liant people necessary to make the diff
ficult steps forward" will multiply, and
our world will be deluged with new
technology and new horizons, the dis
covery of new aspects Of nature" that
will profoundly influence the domestic
and foreign policies of the United States
and all other nations
But this brings us back to the
original assumption that mankind can
count on having a future. DR.. Libby,
for his own part. has little or no doubt
on that score. His optimism is predi-
Gated on the hope that there will be
continued testing and that Congress
will amend our present law to permit
a marked expansion Of interallied nu-
clear cooperation. Given that, then
the unprecedented power Of the atomic
hydrogen deterrent is likely, in his judy
ment, to make the free worlds defen-
sive forces so efficient, so we'll equipped
to convert war into "a matter of total
humiliation. that the potential enemy
will not dare to strike and that peace
thus will become an enduring thing.
Perhaps DR.. Libby Is wiShful. Even
so, his views make sense. Certainly, II
the United States and other free ma
tons act in accord with them-with
sustained vigor and unwavering resolu-
tion-all the bright and hopeful impli-
cations Of his thesis may we'll come true
with the passage Of time, and maybe
sooner than later.
