koq recognized

Our country has acted realistically
In extending recognition and an express
sion Of good wishes" to the new Iraqi
government. The West as a whole has
done the same, and so have Britain,
Turkey, Iran and Pakistan all four OF
whom still are technically allied with
Iraq In the Baghdad Pact.
Expedient as It may be, this afirna-
tive action has been taken for several
persuasive reasons. One is that the
leaders Of the July IA coup seem very
definitely to have strong popular support
throughout the country. Another Is that
these men, despite having resorted to
brutal assassinations in selling power,
have repeatedly emphasized that they
intend to follow moderate course at
home and abroad. And a third is that
they have given formal assurances that
their government will abide by the
United Nations Charter and live up to
Iraq's other international obligations,
including those involving OIL agreements
with the West.
OF course, as far as the Baghdad
Pact is concerned, the assumption is
that the Iraqi leaders will soon announce
their withdrawal from it. But even on
this point, which involves a number Of
legal technicalities, they have been
speaking with moderation. Accordingly,
assuming that they mean what they
say, the recognition accorded them by
the United States and its friends and
allies seems amply JUSTIFIED, the more
so because 1t skaters the strident Soviet
charge accusing Turkey of plotting with
Anglo-American "imperialists" to I'M
leash a military attack on Iraq Gin
few days time"
This charge appears to have been
based on nothing more substantial than
the fact that three weeks ago, here in
our own country and abroad, certain
unoficial armchair strategists were
openly advocating armed action against
Baghdad. Their counsel, however, fell on
deaf ears in all responsible quarters, and
there is good reason to be thankful for
that-especially in view of mounting
evidence that Iraq's new government
really wants to have friendly and
mutually benefcial relations with the
West.

Low Hem-Ho, Hum

The sack has had 1t, and something
roughly equivalent to dancing in the

At first reading, this word from the
fashion capital seems to warrant the

first to last. So was the trapeze, which
made most women look as If they were

so, what comes next does not sound
much better. A young man named Yves
st. Laurent, identified as the "head Of
the House Of Dior" has set the fashion
writer's spinning dizzily by dropping
the hemline." This, means, apparently,
that skirts will be longer, and there is
also some mumbo jumbo about curves,
silhouettes and waistlines.

Arminq for the Summit

There is no good reason why anyone
should have thought that the United
States would go into summit meeting
without being ready to offer plan for
easing the tense situation in the Middle
East. Since such assumptions have been
made and published, however, it is re-
assuring to have the word of a high
off1cial" that nothing could be farther
from the truth.
No details of the United States plan
have been given out in advance, and
this obviously is proper. The indication
is, however, that the proposal we will
submit will deal, first, with the political
security of the Middle East countries,
and, next, with the economic distress
which blights so much of that area.
OF course, no plan will be worth
anything unless 1t is mutually Satisfac-
tory to both the United States and Rus
STA, and unless both countries will give
1t their wholehearted support. The real
test Of this will be determined by the
Kremlin's intentions.

WoefuI Deficiency

Our country'S past failure TO keep
up with Soviet scientific and technolog-
ical literature Is underscored by reports
that official efforts are now being made
to negotiate q formal agreement with
Israel to undertake a massive trans
lating project designed to make such
literature readily available to all Amer
leans interested in it.
According to the reports, the agree
ment, if worked out, would enlist the
aid of hundreds of Israeli scholars who
are nterate in scientific subjects and
fluent in both Russian and English.
They would translate and make available
to our country q vast volume of Soviet
technical papers (many Of them I'M
doubtedly importantly that have hardly
even been glanced at in the United
SUBSEQUENTLY because Of the Ian
guage barrier.
This has been grievouS deficiency.
Actually, ever since the end Of the Sec
ond World War, our country has done
very little to keep itself informed on
Soviet science and technology. At pres
ent, for example, we are ignoring all but
a small fraction of the some 10000
scientific reports and journals received
each year from the USSR. And the
chief reason for this is that we have no
systematic program for handling and
processing them.
The Soviet Union has made us look
like silly amateurs in this respect. AS
has been pointed out by numerous in
formed Americans, there is a special
institute in Moscow that employs 1880
full-time translatorS, abStractors and
editors-plus 10000 part-time employees
to make available to Russia's scien-
fists and libraries practically every bit
of scientific and chronological material
that is published in the United States
and dozens of other free nations.
The contrast here is striking enough
to make clear that our own country
has been woefully negligent as regards
keeping itself acquainted with Soviet
activities in the same field. If enlisting
the aid Of the Israelis will help us to
overcome the deficiency, then let us
hope that an effective agreement can be
negotiated to that end.

Worms as Artists

Donald Holster, relatively obscure
Los Angeles official, must be wry and
imaginative man. He has dug up some
angle worms around his house, dipped
them in oil paints Of many colors, and
allowed them to wiggle and wriggle all
over a receptive canvas. The result?
Well, in his opinion, it is an artistic.
creation worth at least $1,000.
This is a much fatter figure than
Betsy, the Baltimore Zoos remarkable
chimpanzee, has been able to get for her
abstractionist compositions, which she
executes with amazing ease, verve and
dexterity (she paints with her hands,
elbows, feet and tongue). Mr.. Hoster
probably ought to take look at her
works. If he does, then maybe he'll
come down a little on the price he's
asking for the things his eSthetic wig
glers and wrigglers do in oil. After all,
the general public needs little time to
get used to the idea that worms-whose
appeal as personalities is rather more
limited than that Of certain avant-
garde artists we could name-have what

Transport Survey

Your paper reported that
Washington's mass trans
portation survey has de-
veloped two possible plans
for regional transportation
that are to be further studied
by DR.. Luthur Gulick and the
Institute for Public Admins
tration. One contemplates a
regional expressway system
with provisions for the opera
ton of express buses. The
second proposes a similar
system augmented by rail
rapid transit from the north
and northwest to the center
Of the city. Part Of DR.. Gulick's
report Is to compare these
alternatives and to recon-
mend which of them is more
desirable.
Is this merely a question of
transportation technique? Or
viii these two transportation
systems actually create two
different kinds Of metro
politan city2 Experience in
New York and other large
cities strongly suggests that
the decisive effect Of rail
rapid transit is TO produce
major concentrations Of
population and economic
activity along such routes.
Thus, the question is not one
Of transportation alone but,
more fundamentally. Of the
kind Of city we want.
Is Metropolitan Washing
ton to be something like the
diffused suburbs Of northern
New Jersey? Or will 1t be
more like the compactly
built-up Bronx? Decentraliza-
ton, economic diversification,
urban sprawl or nucleation,
these are some Of the key
issues that transportation
decisively shapes. 1t would
be refreshing to know that
we have planning agencies
capable Of facing such deci-
sions. This community should
beware If its future character
is being decided in fact by
what look like mere technical
determinations. It should
demand a transportation sys-
TEN which will serve. and
which will assist in Great
ing, the city we want.
Washington is fortunate
that its transportation study
has been lodged in a general
planning agency, indeed a
metropolitan regional agency.
Let us hope that, before 1t
is too late. that agency faces
its full responsibility.

RWerdoIe Hazard

A tragedy has to occur be-
fore anything is done about
hazards. I have In mind the
drowning of a 6-year-old
boy in the so-called pond"
in Templeton Knobs, East
Riverdale, Md. Newscasts and
newspaper articles said resi-
dents had not asked the Ma
tional Park Service to do any
thing about this problem.
I would like to set the rec
ord straight. We have lived
in Templeton Knobs since
1858, and even before that
time representatives Of the
citizens association had gone
to see commission" after
commission" to try to get
something done about the
creek. which is what it Is,
and not a pond" Each
Office they asked for help
would send them to someone
else, saying that 1t wasn't
under their jurisdiction.
A few days before last
weeks storm, men were in
the development draining
out the sewers-down under
manhole covers in the mid
die OF the street. Then when
the storm occurred. water
from the creek came up
over the street that quite a
number of families have to
traverse to get out of the
development; in fact, it came
UP into several front yards.
So the day after the storm,
/ personally called the
Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission to ask them
If they could help. They
said it was out Of their juris-
diction, and for me to call
the Department Of Public
Works In Marlboro. This I
did. Evidently that's as far
as 1t went-to Marlboro.
Nothing was done about it,
and evidently the message
wasn't passed on to the prop
er people, or to National Park
Service. I even left my phone
number to be called back In
case they weren't the proper
people to receive the call.

,M Win-Nobody Loses

- In expressing his hopes that Con-
gress will complete action on legislation
! making possible construction of a great
cultural center in Washington, President
Eisenhower has spoken for many citizens,
here and throughout the country. There
have been attempts in the past to sup
ply such facilities for the Capital. But
we have never been so close to success
as now; there has never been such an
opportunity for Congress to do so little,
and accomplish so much, as offered by
the pending legislation.
In brief, the legiSlation-approved
: In the Senate without Dissatisfaction
4, ICES purchase from locally derived reve-
!. nues Of less than two acres of land.
Added to Government-owned land al-
ready available, site-now generally
approved-would be provided for con-
struction of an appropriate edifice for
the performing arts. Money for such
construction is anticipated from private
sources. There are indications that 1t
would be forthcoming. If not, the Gov
ernment would have lost not penny
for the land would be there for other
uses.
Hundreds of thousands of American
citizens this summer, in a record year of
travel abroad, have been visiting the
capitals and other cities in foreign lands,
almost all of which are supplied with
splendid buildings for the performance
OF opera, orchestra concerts, ballet and
other artistic enterprises rejecting cul-
tural attainment. The singular lack Of
such facilities in this Capital Of the
richest Nation on earth is a reproach-
an indictment which should be wiped
from the record.
We commend Representative Jones OF
Alabama, chairman of the Public Build
ings Subcommittee Of the House Public
Works Committee, for his willingness to
hold hearings tomorrow and his own
sympathy toward the project. We be-
Iieve there will be evidence aplenty at
the hearing in its support. The authori-
cation sought represents so small an
obligation by the Federal Government,
leaving the success of the undertaking
In the hands of private contributors,
that there is everything to be gained
and nothing to be lost.
House approval of this legislation
would mean something for people every
where, not merely those who live in
Washington. 1t would represent great
forward step in completing the develop
ment Of this Federal City, the city of all
Americans.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

the wind was from the land
side.
The stick was applied to
the rim, and the hoop kept
going along, much as a SAIL
ing ship is tackled into the
wind.
Often the hoop got out Of
control. The wind forced 1t
faster and faster, so that
small legs could not keep UP.
In this event, the hoop
finally went bowling gayly
along by itself, to cross the
boardwalk and finally tum-
BILE of into the sand below.
Another old childish Ocean
City sport, probably forgot
ten by all except Jones, was
making a xylophone out Of
big green glass bottles.
These bottles were used
then as now for spring wa
ter, to replace the awful IRON
tasting water of the shore
resort.
BY filling empty bottles to
to certain depths, a musical
instrument Of a sort could
be created.
1t took a pretty keen ear,
however, TO get the "xylo-
phone" properly tuned, ct
least near enough so that
the performer could play o
recognizable melody.
Flying box kites was an
other shore sport, this de.
manding larger boys. teen
ayers, as we would say now.
The pull Of the wind would
keep the line taut for hours,
and If, in an unwary mo-
ment. one let go, the kite
would disappear over the At
lantic.
Small paper kites. pre-.
ferred by small children,

bathing itself. the sailing Of
small yachtlike toy boats
was the favorite sport Of the

TENDER, when storms cut
back the beach and made
long pools a foot or two
deep. In these the little
yachts sped wonderfully fast
with the brisk winds in their
sails.

children play in the creek
Give given my permission
only once to my 8la-year-old
boy to play near the creek
with playmates, with the
warning not to 60 in the wa
teri, but I was entirely igno-
rant Of the fact that the
creek was any deeper than
wading depth. even under
the culvert that goes beneath
Washington Baltimore Park
way. I'm sure other parents
knew nothing Of this either.
We have three developments
on this creek-Templeton
Knobs, East Pines and River
dale Woods. with hundreds
of children in the area. When
the highway was completed
3 or { years ago something
should have been done about
this situation. Heaven knows
we tried to have something
done. Now q life must be lost
before anyone will even come
out and look over the situa-
ton. The great American
