Times were tough almost

plans for pulling the world
out Of its economic slump

Ramsay Macdonald came to
Washington to confer with
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt, and the two issued q
joint statement. The Star of
April 26, 1893. reported the
President and Prime Minis"
ter had recommended a six
point recovery program that
called for: Il. Moderation Of
trade restrictions Of all
kinds. including excessive
tariffs, quotas and exchange
restrictions. 2. Provision By
central banks Of adequate
expansion Of credit. 3. Stimc

Hospitality Pays

Most large cities have a municipality
supported bureau to welcome visitors
and play host to conventions and other
groups. Here in the Nations Capital
the hospitality and service job is pri-
vate undertaking assumed by the Board
of Trades very efficient Convention and
Visitors Bureau. No public funds are
available for this important task of Serv-
Ing the visitors and delegations which
come to Washington for pleasure or
business. That is why the bureau is
making its annual solicitation of funds
from the business community. This is
an enterprise that does credit to the city
and that benefits our guests as we'll as
those who entertain, house, feed and
otherwise care for them.
Last year the bureau spent S165, 900
in promoting Washington as a sight
seeing and convention center and in
providing information, arranging res
ervationS and generally aiding the more
than 6 million persons who visited the
city during the year. 1t has been esti-
mated that these men, women and chill
dren from other cities and towns left
in circulation here more than 1852 mil
lion. Looking at the figures from a
purely mercenary viewpoint, the BUSH
neSsmen's small investment in hospi-
tally paid of handsomely. This year
the bureau is seeking 100000 for an
expanded promotional program. In view
OF this fine record of achievement, it
would be surprising if the bureau en-
countered difficulty in raising the in
creased sum.

Critical Season Ahead

New York Police Commissioner Ste
phen P. Kennedy has warned his force
that the critical season for juvenile
crime is ahead-a season of warm
months conducive to youth gang opera
tionS. He told city already alarmed
by recurring outbreaks of violence that
the summer would bring "more fire.
quent, greater and bloodier youth gang
wars" While New York's problem is
especially acute, much of what Com
missioner Kennedy said could be applied
to other cities, including Washington.
FBI studies of crime trends show
that "offenses against the person."
namely, murder, assault, robbery, rape
and the like, increase during the spring
and summer months These are the
crimes most frequently committed by
youthful hoodlums. The FBI annual
crime report, just released, shows a rise
in such crimes beginning in April and
continuing to July-August peak. And
an analysis Of arrests reported by po-
lice in 1857 disclosed diSproportionate
number Of cases involving persons under
18. For example, youths not yet 10
accounted for the appalling total of 472
per cent of all arrests for murder, man
slaughter, rape, robbery, aggravated as
sault, burglary, larceny and automobile
theft. Said the report: Assuming that
the population increase for the coun-
try is representative of the population
change in the reporting cities, it may
be observed that on a percentage basis
arrests Of young persons have increased
212 times faster than the population of
young people"
These are shocking facts, calling
for drastic action to reverse the trend.
Commissioner Kennedy proposes to meet
the challenge head on. He has ordered
his men to crack down on "any persons,
regardless of age, who willfully and ma
liciously thumb their noses at law and
order and who persist in thinking that
the laws Of the jungle can be trans
planted to the streets of New York"
This is good advice for law enforcement
authorities wherever the youth-in- crime
problem is marked by gang "rumbleS"
and widespread terrorism.

Maryland Taxes

The Maryland tax situa-
ton is giving me great con-
Germ. Our lawmakers at An
napolis recently raised the
income tax so per cent. so
now we have the privilege
Of paying more Of our hard
earned dollars in an increase
that seems hardly justified.
The picture is incongru-
Gus. On the one hand we
have our Congress talking
about. and even making ges-
lures toward a tax cut. while
our State legislators are
heading in the other direc-
ton and piling it on a little
heavier. How inconsistent
can you get?
II an attempt is made to
justify the tax increase by
the statement that a State
budget must be met, then
our lawmakers better put
their heads together, includ-
ing the Governor, and have
the budget reduced. Taxes
can get just so high, then
you run into the natural law
Of diminishing returns. Don't

On q hayward Course?

People who can hardly walt TO take
trips 10 the moon, and beyond there 10
Mars or Venus, must find II bit sober
ing TO hear that there Is very hot band
Of radiation circling our globe hundreds
OF miles above us. According 10 q report
presented here 10 the National Academy
OF Sciences and the American Physical
Society, this information has been trans
mitted to earth by our two Explorer
satellites, and 1t indicates that space
travel may turn out TO be a lot less
easy for humans than for comic-strip
adventures like Buck Rogers
Anyhow, judging from DR.. James A.
Van Aliens Interpretation Of the Ex-
plorer messages, there appears to be
exceedingly intense radioactivity In the
high heavens-so hot, In fact, that a
mere mortal might be inviting death
II he stayed In that region for longer
than five hours a week. Clearly, this
suggests that lunar and interplanetary
flights may add up TO an unusually risky
business unless the voyagers are ade-
quately shielded In vehicles that can
shoot through the hazardous area at a
speed, say, Of $4,000 miles an hour. As
for manning space platforms in fixed
orbit, 1t would seem that our children
and grandchildren had better make sure
that the orbit isn't where 1t ought not
to be-that is, in the danger zone de-
scribed by DR.. Van Allen.
Despite this, however, aspiring in
terplanetary voyagers should not feel
unduly dismayed. Actually, regardless
Of the radiation up there, Dr. Van Allen
has made clear that the spatially ambi-
tious still have reason to nourish their
ambitions. AS for ourselves, to be per-
fectly frank about the matter, we have
no desire to 60 to places like the moon.
Indeed, we are so attached to terra
f1rma that the more we think about
space travel, the more inclined we are
to suspect that man made a grave mis-
take and went on hayward course
when he first became enamored of
progress and learned enough to invent
things less earthbound than the old
fashioned horse and buggy.

kill the goose that lays the
golden egg.
When we make our tax re-
turns for the preceding year,
we are required at the same
time to file an estimated wage
return for the next year. and
then and there remit at least
one fourth of the estimated
total. That puts a bite on
the pocketbook of the aver
age taxpayer that is un-
considerable.
1t is my opinion that this
requirement that a man pay
a tax on money not yet
earned. and which he does
not know if he will earn, is
unfair, unreasonable, and
unconstitutional.
Why does Maryland with
its many sources Of revenue
such as horse racing, etc..
which many other States do
not have, feel compelled to
extract more revenue from
its citizens by an increase in
the income tax? That is a
fair question that deserves
an intelligent answer.

Ominous Nyet

RuSSia's veto OF the Arctic air in
spection proposal, and the threatful
speech by Mr.. Sobolev which accom-
panied it, permit Of no escape from the
obvious conclusions.
1t would have been bad enough If
Mr.. Sobolev, the Russian representative
on the Security Council, had been con-
tent merely to cast his governments
83rd veto. But Mr.. Sobolev, standing
alone in the 11-man council, and un-
doubtedly acting on instructions from
Moscow, went far beyond this. He con-
demned the Secretary General, Dag
HammarSkjold, for having urged con-
sideration of the inspection proposal in
the hope that it might be helpful. And
by implication, If not openly, he threat
ened the United States with retaliation
unless our strategic bombers are kept on
the ground.
From this unhappy state of affairs,
the free countries as whole and the
United States in particular are driven
to the following conclusions:
~ If anything, we must practice
greater, and certainly not less, vigilance.
Our bombers, currently our principal
security arm, must not be disposed in
such fashion that they could be caught
on the ground in a surprise Russian
attack.
(2) Despite protests, well-inten-
toned or otherwise, we must continue
the testing Of nuclear weapons-offen-
sive as well as defensive. RuSsia'S rejec-
ton Of the plan for international in
spection in the Arctic zone negates trust
and compels us to look to our own de-
lenses.
(3) We can no longer assume that
the Russians want either disarmament,
accompanied by reliable inspection, or
meaningful summit conference. Our
own Henry Cabot Lodge, who is some
times given to reinstatement, hardly
exaggerated when he said he thought
+. Mr.. Sobolev's performance had knocked
the summit meeting idea on the head"
az Finally, it is clear that Mr..
Dulles was right when he told a New
Hampshire audience Friday evening that
I'VE must assume that we face long
period of effort, sacrifice and strain"
The Secretary of States remarks were
in no sense belligerent speech. 1t was
quite the contrary. He reiterated his be-
lief that forces are at work in the Com
muniSt world which, in time, will compel
a moderation of the Kremlin's attitude.
Nevertheless, given the Soviet attitude,
which was merely echoed by Mr. Sobolev,
the free world has but one choice. 1t
must be strong and it must stay united.
This has been said $50 many times that
repetition becomes tireSome. Still, tire
some or not, it is true, and it will remain
true until such time as the Russians
conclude that their interests will be
served by coming to terms with the West.
If Mr.. Sobolev has told us anything, he
has told us that we have not yet reached
that time.
