Deod-E Parkway?

The efforts Of Senator Beall, the
National Capital Planning Commission
and other individuals and groups to save
the Prince Georges County section of the
George Washington Memorial Parkway
are highly commendable. The Maryland
Senator is right in saying that unless
the Senate restores money for the park
way which was eliminated by the House,
the long planned drive along the Mary
land side of the Potomac River will come
to dead end.
The House deleted the 50 million
roadway item after complaints from
some property owners that the parkway
would destroy their homes or interfere
with future residential development. But
the fact is that the public has been on
notice for many years that the parkway
ultimately would be extended through
Prince Georges County as far as Fort
Washington. Land for the project
already has been obtained in Montgom-
cry County and construction now under
way on the Virginia side of the river
soon will extend the parkway as far as
the new Central Intelligence Agency
building. The original parkway plan
calls for shore drives on both sides of
the river from the Mount Vernon area
to Great Falls, scene Of one of George
WaShingtonS canal engineering enter
prises.
The Prince Georges County Commits
Sioners have recognized the importance
of the parkway by agreeing to put up 81
million as the county's share of the cost.
This investment certainly could be ex-
pected to pay big dividends in future
years-juSt as Virginia's investment has
paid of in rising property values, i'm
proved residential developments and
more tsy revenues. 1t would be unfair
to Prince Georges to deprive the county
of the benefits Of such project.

No Place for Pique

When the final record of the 85th
Congress is written, 1t should be noted
that one of It's worthy legislative actions
was to set up pension provisions for
former Presidents and for the widows
Of Presidents.
The Senate approved bill for this
purpose more than a year ago. The
House has followed suit this week, but
only after bad-tempered display of
partisanship and personal pique in
which 1t eliminated allowances for once,
staff and mailing privileges for retired
Chief Executives. Both branches agreed
on a $4,000 yearly pension to ex-PreSi-
dents and $4,000 annual payment to
the widows Of Presidents. The Senate
bill allowed $4,000 for staff and ONCE
expenses and the ranking privilege for
1000 pieces of mail monthly. The con-
fereeS should restore these allowances,
in full or in part.
Our only two living ex-PresidentS,
Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Truman, have re-
Sponded with distinction to every call on
their experience and their services in
the national interest. In many respects,
no President can ever be completely
private citizen after he has left the
White House. The prestige of this great
ONCE merits acknowledgment from the
country in the form of a guarantee that
the individuals should not face an
economically burdensome or insecure
future.

Some Answers Needed

The break In the steel price front,
marked by selective increases announced
by most major companies, poses many
serious questions.
The overriding one, perhaps, Is
whether these increases -relatively small
dollar-wise and not applicable 10 all
steel products as Is usually the case In
industry price changes-will show up
quickly and directly In higher prices for
automobiles and other consumer goods
using steel. II this should be a result,
II could have two widespread effects.
One would be q new push 10 imitation
and new upward pressure on the cost
of-living index-at q time when these
unwelcome elements In the economy
have subsided Bit The second possible
effect is 10 discourage buying Just at the
time when there are signs of business
upturn, perhaps reversing this trend
toward recovery from the recession.
In the light Of these questions and
the national interest involved, 1t Is
not surprising that Chairman Kefauver
Of the Senate Antitrust subcommittee
already has suggested an inquiry into
the price decisions. II undertaken on
an objective economic basis, without
political ax-grinding, such an inquiry
would be useful and informative. 1t Is
the contention of the steel companies,
of course, that they are forced to raise
prices TO match increasing costs-in
which wages figure most directly. The
current price rise is delayed reaction
to wage increases, provided by contract
and effective on July /. Under similar
conditions, both wages and prices were
raised year ago. In addition, there
was small cost-of-living wage increase
last January-also provided by terms of
the labor contract-and not Offset at
that time by any price change.
On the management side, there is
an obligation to operate at a proft-if
1t is possible to do so. If constantly
increasing costs are nevitable-largely
through the power of the labor unions
to keep the wage rates moving up-and
II the higher costs are not balanced by
increased productivity, higher prices APP
pear to be the only Offset. If this COM
bination, in turn, is harmful to the ma
'tional conomy-which it certainly is
any effective cure will have to be d.
rected at both cost and price elements.

Waterfront Progress

Approval by a House District sub
committee of two related waterfront bills
brings closer to realization the planned
Identification Of Southwest Washing
tons picturesque harbor area. 1t is
gratifying that the subcommittee, Of
which Representative Davis Of Georgia
is chairman, has acted in the gen.
eral public interest rather than follow
the demands of small group Of bust
neSsmen who oppose the improvement.
In doing this, the subcommittee gave
proper consideration to the impact Of
the redevelopment plan on waterfront
industry and, to ease the impact, APP
proved bill to assure "top priority" re-
location aid to the displaced businesses.
The basic bill would authorize far
reaching changes in the appearance Of
the waterfront along Maine avenue. The
familiar ash wharves and their seafood
stores and restaurants would go, along
with the nearby farmers produce mar
ket. They would make way for the
Southwest Freeway a major highway
link between the Southwest and points
in Northwest Washington and Virginia,
and for attractive shoreline improve
mentS in keeping with the city within
a city which is to rise from once
blighted Slum community.
The companion bill takes special
note of a relocation problem Affecting
industry, just as slum clearance has
created a relocation problem for resi-
dents of the area. Certainly it is only
fair to make every reasonable effort to
assist displaced businesses in finding
suitable locations elsewhere in which to

This happens because

Grandfather Jones had one
obsession.
Bees.
They buzzed In his bonnet
all the time. so that at last,
at least in his own opinion,
he was one Of the real ex.
perts, In q day and place
where everybody kept bees.
Bee keeping is an art,
sometimes q business, and
sometimes a fault, II you
could believe Grandmother
Jones. g
"You Just let those bees
alone, Jonathan" she always
said to Grandfather Jones,
whose speciality was not TO
let anything alone.
Mr.. Jones believed in prod.
ding others, so that they
would prod in return, and In
the interchange one could
find interest and meaning In
life.
His wife believed in letting
others do as they pleased,
without interference from
her, that was why she kept
on telling her husband to let
the bees alone.
-
A big swarm in the apple
tree was too much for the old
man.
I'm going to get those
bees" he said, and took his
ladder.
"You better let those bees
alone, Jonathan, said Grand.
mother Jones. Bees don't
like you. you know"
Il know BEES said Grand
father Jones firmly.

bees don't know you"
Some time later she heard
a yell from the orchard.
There was Grandfather
Jones, running pellmell. with
all the bees after him, rapid
ly covering him tom head to
foot.
II he hadn't been such q
sturdy sort, he might even
have died from the expert
ence.
GRANDMOTHER Jones wrote
In the old mans notebook:

II must have worked, be-
cause Grandfather Jones
never tried to collect them
again.

Going to the Summit

'os There are many Ifs, rather big
IFS, still strewn along the road to the
summit.
One thing energies clearly, however,
from Mr.. Eisenhowers latest note to Mr..
Khrushchev. II a summit meeting Is
held within the framework of the Sc
curity Council, and II 1t is held any
where except in Moscow, the President
will attend and, participate, In this
respect the note was an affirmative re-
Spouse which gets the United States out
of the position Of appearing to want to
block a conference.
There are other ifs, however, or
perhaps uncertainties would be better
word. Mr.. Eisenhower, in polite but
rather sharp language, chided Mr.. Khru-
shchev for wanting to bypass the United
Nations and set up a conference of the
Big Four plus India. This, he said, would
ignore the smaller countries. Unfortu-
nately, on this point, General de Gaulle
seems to see eye-to-eye with Mr.. Khru-
shchev. Thus, the Eisenhower rebuke
to Mr.. KhruShchev applies with equal
force to General de Gaulle. Further
more, the French leader has indicated
that he will only attend a meeting OF
the Big Four plus India and, even so,
only If the meeting is held in an at
mosphere of COLLECTIVELY and serenity"
This means, presumably, that General
de Gaulle will not be among those pres
ert if the meeting is conducted through
the Security Council. Unless Mr.. Khru-
shchev backs out, however, the chances
are that the meeting will be held this
month, with or without General de
Gaulle.
If this proves to be so, the question
of the agenda will arise. Mr.. Khru-
shchev wants to talk about what he calls
our armed intervention in the Middle
East and the accompanying threat to
world peace. We want to talk about
this false allegation" by Mr.. Khru-
shchev and also about the dangers to
world peace which are posed by Sin
direct aggression" Of the
Moscow and Cairo variety. As for Mr..
Macmillan, above all else, he apparently
wants to talk-period.
This is not state of affairs which
encourages great hope that anything
worthwhile will come out of a summit
meeting, II one is held. 1t looks as
though we are going to the summit,
however, and If this is the case 1t is
much better to appear to be going will
ingly and with a purpose, rather than
to have the world think that we are
being dragged there.
+ 1t does not seem to us that the West
has anything to fear from public de-
bate, or propaganda exercise, with Mr..
Khrushchev. If such debate produces
nothing except charge and counter
charge, we should at least be able to
hold our own. And then there is always
the chance for private meetings-meet-
ings in which there would be no occasion
for the tired old propaganda routines.

and probably In other States
viii hope that the order of

allowed to stand. This will
give time, perhaps, for the
establishment Of better rela-

On the political side, the
impact Of the Faubus victory

is severe, In the FIRST place,
II raises high the standard OF

into his private life, but tore
the paper UP and scattered
1t to the wind.
Let us hope the pill did
him good.
AS one gets older, the need
for reminders becomes more
acute. Some people ignore
this need, and keep on for
getting.
Others make notes. The
best way, perhaps, Is on q
small piece of paper, but
some carry q small book with
tear-out sheets.
The important thing Is to
be strictly UP to date. Old
reminders are worse than
none at all.
A string around the finger
was the primitive reminder,
and for a few 1t was q good
one, but for most 1t was no
good. because one simply
couldn't remember what the

1t Is a remarkable fact
that the person who needs
notes most is usually the
least likely TO keep them.
This goes back to q fun
damental fault in character.
We are all mixtures of
good and bad points. Scien
lists explain this with queer
words, meaning nothing to
the average reader or lis
tener, who Is left feeling
that the scientists are fooling
themselves. too.
In daily life, the keeping Of
a notebook or small pieces
OF paper with notes on them
Is a good way TO overcome
one fault Of character.
Maybe the fault is ones
own, maybe coming down
from an old grandfather or
grandmother who, after all,
should have known better.

them.
Small towns have their
uses, in q world rapidly de-
generating into. huge cities
with their multiple problems,
and one Of these uses Is the
development Of characters,
as we call real individuals.
Sometimes one Is inclined
TO feel that the English peo-
pie have produced more real

than any other: but the mo-
