mission about anything heard
about parks. Staff members So
licited speaking engagements.
During the next 10 days, they
addressed Al civic organizations---
and talked about parks in general
and the Wheaton park in partic-
ular.
Most of the sessions were at
tended by Jack Hewitt, the COM
missions park director. and his
deputy, F. Frank Rubini. They
explained that the. big regional
parks for the first time would give
the county areas big enough for
overnight camping. hiking, bride
paths and stables. lakes for boat
ing and flshing-areas that could
be used by family groups, school
classes and scout troops.
Next forget: The Council
On March 10, when the COM
mission held its annual budget
hearings, there was nothing but
support for the park campaign.
But the big job still was to con-
vince the county council.
Just before the councils budget
hearings at the end of March.
commission members learned that
County Manager Melvin L. Reese
had not included the So million
in his recommended budget.
So the citizen groups turned out
again, and finally were heard on
the park question shortly before
midnight on the final night of the
council budget hearings. Just a
few days later the council an
nounced it would provide the So
million as part Of special bond
issue.
The elation of park officials was
dimmed slightly by the wording
of the councils resolution saying
the Wheaton parkland would re-
main in county ownership-an
exception which made little sense
to them since all the rest Of the
county's parks are owned, operated
and maintained by the Md
NCPPC. But this Is something
they're willing to take UP later.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of going to
the moon are chiefly two: Eco
nomic and. curiously. military.
The economic disadvantage is
obvious. 1t will cost billions to
get a man on the moon. There
are those who think the money
could be better spent on this
planet.
The military disadvantage is
that scientists and missile experts
might be diverted by the lure of
the moon from the business OF
keeping ahead of the Soviet Union
in military technology. Wait until
the Soviet threat subsidies. 1t is
said. The moon can wait.
These opponents Of occupying
the moon now point out that
earth-based long-range ballistic
missiles will be more accurate
than moon-baSed missiles for a
long time to come.
The nay-sayers. however. seem
to feel that they are fighting a
losing battle.

mittcd as much in the report as
serting that instruments can DO
everything man could do in space.

scientists conceded, lat which the
complexity OF the machine to do

warned against piecemeal pur-
chase of the Wheaton land.
The problem, he said, was that

dering the Wheaton site. Once
that's built, he argued, the value
of the land earmarked for the

he said, let's go after the whole

plus 100000 to begin other pur-

The commission staff objected
violently. To go after so much,
they said, would wreck the

A lot of Montgomery residents
we're surprised by the County
Councils sudden decision this
month to fork over 50 million for
new parklands.
The councils action was unpre-
cedented, and the story behind 1t
is a first-class lesson in the APP
plication of practical politics for
the entire Washington area.
additionally, parks are low on
the fiscal totem pole. To dig into
the general county revenues for
So million for that purpose would
be a surprise any time. This year,
it was doubly remarkable, because:

hard to bar India from the diplo-
matte spadework leading to the

In each case, Washington was

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-One
Of the most fascinating of long
range Western diplomatic under
takings is an effort to regain con-
troll over the machinery of the
United Nations.
That control. lost in 1855 and
1856 when a flood Of neutralist
countries came into membership,
was a valuable asset 1t gave the
West a stick with which to beat
the Russians.
Some thlngS-indeed, many
things-haye changed since then;
but a working majority of the
U. ~ General Assembly would
still be an immensely valuable
possession. The question. Whose
U. N. is it?" affects nearly every
major policy objective of the
Western world from European Sc
curity to Palestine peace. and
from Asian freedom TO control Of
outer space. 1t even profoundly
affected the French cabinet crisis
this week.
This is not, of course, to say
that such issues necessarily are
decided in the U. N. They are not.
But the absence of reliable con-
troll over U. N. proceedings cuts
down the Vests freedom of &C
ton outside the U. ~, depriveS
the West Of a source of diplo-
matte pressure, and introduces
complicating factors into policy
decisions.
Influences Policy
Desire to build U. N. major
ity, for example. can and does
exert major influence on Ameri-
can policy toward a country like
Tunisia. which has befriended the
West inside the U. MS Afro Asian
bloc. The A-A bloc has % critical
votes.
Prior to 1855. in a 60-nation
U. NJ, the countries bordering on
the North Atlantic, together with
the Latin American republics and
other close supporters. comprised
the necessary two-thirds majority.
They had roughly 40 votes. They
were glad to get neutralist sup
port, but they did not have to
have it.
Today, in an 8l-nation U. N.
40 is not even a simple majority.
Moreover, of the next 10 countries
due for admission, all but one are
from Asia or Africa.
The mathematics Of the prob
lem are simple. AS of today, 40
Western votes plus IA others would
make up two-thirds. Where are
the IA to come from? The nine
votes of the Soviet bloc obviously
are not available, nor are those of
pro-Soviet neutralists like Yugo-
slavia.
There are only comparative
handful Of Western-inclined neu-
tralists such as Austria, Sweden
and Ireland-eight or nine at the
very most. That means the United
States must win over at least five
or six Afro-Asian countries OF

The most malleable of the pros
