'BusinessIike' Reform

In his budget message last January,
President Eisenhower told Congress that
legislation now pending Ito place Gov
eminent appropriation requests on an
accrued expenditure basis should be
enacted, in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the Hoover Commission.
This is businesslike approach q"
The President was referring in that
instance to budget reform legislation
that had bipartisan sponsorship and won
unanimous Senate approval in the first
session of the 85th Congress. Com
panion legislation, differing only slightly,
is scheduled for House consideration
this week.
In brief, the legislation would re-
store to Congress power Of the purse"
which historically is considered one Of
It's proper responsibilities. It would do
this by placing appropriations on a
year-to-year basis, although not limiting
the existing power Of legislative commit
tees and of Congress to authorize long
term programs or projects. Federal
agencies would be required, however, to
submit annual progress reports to justify
additional fund requests. Under current
budgetary procedures, Congress has in
many cases appropriated total funds for
Federal projects and has exercised no
further control or review over the timing
or the effectiveness of actual spending.
One of the results has been the carry
over of huge unexpended balances which
may be diSburSed without regard to
sound budgetary considerations in any
year. Some Of these carry-overs remain
available for years, through changes in
administrations and in both domestic
and world conditions. Recent attempts
at governmental economy through re-
ducing appropriations were nullif1ed by
expenditures from carry-over appropri-
atoms.
Opposition to the pending legislation
has come principally from the House
Appropriations Committee and from
agencies having a large reservoir Of
carry-over funds. Significantly, how
ever, in addition to Senate approval and
Endorsement of the President, the pro-
poSal has the unanimous backing Of the
House Committee on Government OPP
erationS and Endorsement Of the Director
of the Budget and Of the Controller Gen.
eral The House bill specifically pro-
poses trial period until July l., 1861.

Jozz-Age Historian

John Held, IT,, was chronicler Of
one of Americas most uninhibited eras-
the roaring twenties," period in which
life seemed permanently cast IN mold
Of excited Sophistication and enduring
prosperity. The mold was broken before
it had lasted decade, but historians,
present and future, can learn much
about it by making the acquaintance Of
the characters which John Held por-
trayed in word and picture. His prohibit
ton time, gin-drinking, ungainly fiapper
and her steady supply Of escorts in kind
were more real than fancied. Indeed,
Held himself best catalogued them when
he once said: II Just initiated people, and
then they began initiating the people in
my drawings" John Held had turned to
more serious art in more serious world
in recent years. But in death he will be
remembered best as def craftsman of
the Jazz age.

Conquest of Antorcticu

Br1tain'S DR.. Vivian Fuchs has per-
formed feat Of polar exploration that
well earned him the knighthood which
Queen Elizabeth is preparing to bestow
on him. His 99-day trek across the
entire Antarctic continent, via the South
Pole, adds brilliant new chapter to the
long and ofttimes tragic story of mans
efforts to conquer the bleak and icy land
mass at the bottom Of the world.
No person before DR.. Fuchs had
ever attempted the 2,150-mile passage
across the forbidding heights and hidden
crevaSSeS OF Antarctica. Brave men
before him, including members of the
British Scott Expedition, had persisted
in attempting to reach the Pole or to
return safely after reaching it. None
before DR.. Fuchs, however, had dared to
continue past the pole to the other side
OF the continent. In recent years, how
ever, the South Pole has become a
veritable crossroads of aerial and land
based exploring parties from the United
State and Great Britain. Sir Edmund
Hillary recently completed round trip
to the Pole by means of motor-driven
which earlier explorers had used.
Even while Sir Edmund was en- route
from the Pole, DR.. Fuchs had begun his
journey from Shackleton Station to
Scott Base, via the Pole. He, too, had
the benefit of powered tractors and
other modern equipment for defeating
the snow, cold and terrain. He was
under pressure all the way to beat the
advent of extremely severe weather, due
in that part Of the world about this time
of the year. During the last stages of
the trek he was aided by supply stations
left by Sir Edmund, who met him TOO
miles from Scott Base and accompanied
DR.. Fuchs and his group the remainder
of the way. This exploration was an
outstanding contribution to the Inter
national Geophysical Year. And it was
an achievement Of which the British
have a right to be proud.

Hotto and Sukorno

Apart from small and sporadic air
raids on rebel quarters outside Java,
Indonesia'S warning factions seem to be
doing their best to avoid military clashes
OF serious nature. Actually, neither
side has the equipment right now to
engage in full-scale hostilitieS, and there
Is reason to believe that they are both
anxious to arrive at some peaceful set
Element of their bitter differences.
At any rate, 1t is worth noting that
Mohammed Hatta, echoing in part SEN
timents expressed by President Sukarno,
has warned his countrymen that mo
foreign power must be allowed" to in
tervene in the situation. AS he has put
1t, I'VE must solve the present conflict by
ourselves and among ourselves" This is
another way Of saying that the govern
ment in Jakarta and the rival gov
eminent proclaimed by the anti-Com-
munist dissidents on Sumatra must
guard against getting involved with
outside forces and must strive for a
mutually satisfactory reconciliation lest
events go from bad to worse and lead
to about civil war.
This is wise counsel, and it suggests
since Mr.. Hatta remains in Jakarta for
periodic talks with DR.. Sukarno-that
ways may be found to bring the two sides
together in an amicable settlement. Mr..
Hatta, in any event, is popular through
out IndoneSia, not least of all because he
quit the Sukarno government many
months ago in protest against its policy
of guided democracy'-a policy that
has enabled the Communists to worm
their way into positions of influence.
The anti-Red rebels like him for this
and many other reasons, and they look
to him to help promote the kind of
agreement they want.
Such an agreement would require
President Sukarno to abandon guided
democracy" stop Communist inf1ltra-
ton, give Mr.. Hatta an important post,
and institute reforms designed to elimi-
nate political and economic inequities
between Java and islands like Sumatra.
DR.. Sukarno's reaction to all this has
been negative so far, but maybe Mr..
Hatta's advice will yet persuade him to
act aff1rmatively on the rebels legitimate
grievances. Otherwise Indonesia will
keep on drifting toward complete dis
Indignation as free and independent
nation.

demonstrated the possibilities Of intelli-
gent channeling of students ability to

Meanwhile the Board Of Education
faces the dif11cuit task Of choosing a
permanent successor to DR.. Corning,
who has retired. Complaining the de-
cision is the question Of whether to
select local educator or one from out
side the District who would be free
from all possibility Of local entangle-
ments. The final choice is so important
to the future welfare of Washington's
public schools that extraordinary care
and effort should mark the boards
handling of the problem.

Presidential Agreement

The text Of the understanding be-
tween Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr.. Nixon,
now made public, reflects a fortnight
and sensible effort to deal with the
problem Of succession in event the
President becomes disabled
It is not an ideal solution of the
problem. 1t may not even be the best
solution. But it is doubtful that more
could be accomplished through White
House agreement.
Under the arrangement which has
been adopted, the President, If disabled
but still competent to speak or write,
would inform the Vice President of his
disability, and the latter would take
over as Acting President. If the PreSi-
dent should be unable to speak or write,
the Vice President, after "Such consul
tation as seems to him appropriate"
would become Acting President while
the presidential disability lasted. The
President, in either event, would decide
when he is able to resume his duties.
One does not need to be constitu-
tional lawyer or to be endowed with
clairvoyant powers to foresee the poSSi-
btlity of grave difficulties arising under
this arrangement. Still, it seems to be
the best solution that could be devised
by the Executive. What is really needed,
in all probability, is constitutional
amendment to bridge this gap in our
fundamental law. If the congressional
critics feel this way, their duty is clearly
indicated. But Mr. Eisenhower cannot
discharge it for them.
