asked: Little girl, why are you

Molly's proof was to sing

The drunk passed the hat for
her in the streetcar and gave
her the proceeds-$l.38.

founded by Miss Helburn and q few
associates back In 1919, its purpose
was thoroughly revolutionary. Against a
background that included Bryn Mawr,
the Sorbonne and Yale, Miss Helburn
found the then fashion in theater-a
star galaxy DRIFTING in an atmosphere Of
vacuous plays completely distasteful.
It was time, her group concluded,
that the theater be related to life, that
the. play should be the thing and the
playwright the dominant figure in the
drama. Time, specifically. for beauty
and meaning to find place on the stage
with Its doors open to men Of the stat
ure of Eugene oNeill, Ibsen and Shaw,
among others.
Public taste rarely has had more
timely and accurate reading than this
one by Miss Helburn whose revolution
was not merely an instant success but
permanent one. For her, dead at u,
the theater has reserved an honored
place.

Amman and Cairo Agree

Evidence Of an improved political
climate among the Arab nations may be
found in the announcement that Jor-
dan and the United Arab Republic are
resuming formal diplomatic relations.
This relationship was broken off APP
proximately a year ago when the Am
man government accused Cairo of seek
ing the overthrow Of King Hussein and
establishment Of a regime in Jordan
that would be subservient to President
Nasser and which might pave the way
to possible annexation by the UAR.
Jordan was given added protection at
that time by the landing of British
troops in the little country, simulta-
neously with the dispatch of our own
forces to nearby Lebanon.
In the months since, while continu-
ing attention has been focused on the
troubled and uncertain course of the
revolutionary government in Iraq, there
has been gradual but steady improve
ment in relations between the UAR and
. its two smaller neighbors. Propaganda
Z attacks by Radio Cairo have virtually
ceased, political stability seemingly has
been restored in Beirut and Amman,
and there appear to be no immediate
threats to the. independence Of either
country. -@o 81
Considerable credit for this better
ment in the area is being given to the
Arab League secretary general, Abdel
Hassouna, who has sought consistently
but not always successfully to establish
a united front among the member ma
tons. Mr.. Hassouna now is in Tunisia,
where he is believed to be trying to
patch up another and similar Arab rift
between Tunis and Cairo-before the
Arab League foreign ministers hold a
scheduled meeting in Casablanca on
September /. If the Arab nations have
become aware that Communist pene-
tration is the greatest external threat
to their political and economic welfare,
there is much logic to current efforts
to compose their differences with each
other. In the long run, the Middle East
will be better of and the prospects Of,
world peace improved If these efforts
succeed.

Small Ray of Hope

Nothing spectacular has been ac-
complished by the special al nation
Inter-American Foreign Ministers Con-
ference at Santiago, Chile. Even so,
there is some reason to hope that the
work done by the week-long gathering
may help to ease tensions in the
Caribbean.
To that end, at any rate, the par
Elephants, including Secretary Herter,
have unanimously adopted number Of
resolutions designed to pacify the situa-
ton. In addition. they have subscribed
to formal declaration reaffirming the
virtues of representative government,
but warning at the same time that no
country has right to try forcing de-
rnocracy on another.
It is interesting, though perhaps not
especially significant, that the declara-
, ton has been signed by ministers repre-
senting regimes Of all political shades in
the Americas, ranging from the harshly
dictatorial to the genuinely democratic.
AS for the resolutions adopted, the most
important is the one that gives tempo
rary new powers to the Peace Committee
of the Organization of American States
powers authorizing the committee to
investigate the outbreak Of "invasions"
in the Caribbean and to offer its con-
ciliating or mediating services to the
countries directly involved.
This resolution names no names.
&C.
to bring reason TO bear on assituation
in which, Premier Fidel Castro's Cuba,
with the support of Venezuela, seems to
be acting-even though it has yet to hold
free elections and is itself altogether
authoritarian in character-aS II 1t were
divinely ordained to eliminate all die
tatorships In the hemisphere. Panama,
Nicaragua and Haiti have been among
the countries subjected to "invasions"
apparently organized by the revolution
airy Havana regime, but the main target
has been Generalissimo Trujillo's Do
ninican Republic.
Naturally enough, Dictator Trujillo
has responded In kind, and the bitter
antagonism between him and Premier
Castro is what accounts chiefly for all
the uneasiness and turmoil affiicting the
area. In the circumstances, now that
their governments are signatory to the
Santiago decisions, it can only be hoped
that Cuba and the Dominican Republic
will begin to conduct themselves accord
ingly.
But our hemisphere must still keep
its fingers crossed. For Raul Castro,
Fidel's somewhat sinister young brother,
has declared that Cuba will resolve its
own problems without the OAS," and
he has indicated that 1t will oppose, any
effective inter-American investigation in
the Caribbean. If that is the fact of the
matter, things are likely to get worse
down there before they get better.

against q blacksnake laying
eggs in a dry attic.
These snakes need a moist
place for the eggs, such as a
depression in the ground, or
inside q rotted tree trunk.
The eggs needs moisture to
hatch.
So the thing for the attic
owner to do is to seal UP the
hole in the attic where the
snake came In.
It probably was seeking
birds eggs, and came up the
ivy, If any, or dropped down
from a convenient tree limb.
The attraction Of the small
hole Is known to all kinds OF
life, from human children to
cats and snakes.
There is an irresistible
lure to the small entry; chill
dren just will enter sewers,
and cats will push their
heads into salmon cans.
There usually are places in
: an attic that are large
enough for bees and wasps
to enter.
Even these should be
sighted and covered. It
stands to reason that any
thing larger should be closed
at once.
Often these holes and
cracks exist at the roof line.
They are commonly over
looked by builders, leaving q

Veto Warranted

President Eisenhower ought to veto
the Dulles Airport appropriation bill,
even though this might delay conStruc-
ton progress of the much-needed air
terminal at Chantilly. For the bill sent
to the White House by Congress con-
tains an item repugnant to the good
taste of-and fraught with potential
danger for-all consumers of water from
the citys supply source, the Potomac
River.
- The item is $750,000 allotment for
construction of an airport sewage-treat-
ment plant that would discharge its
effiuent into the river a short distance
above the Districts water intake at
Dalecarlia. This would mean that the
President and his family and every
other family which relies on the District
system for water would be forced to
drink water favored with treated sew
age from the airport. It would mean,
moreover, that, in some future emer-
gency@ they might be supplied with
water contaminated by raw sewage
from an overloaded Chantilly plant, or.
from a plant rendered imperative by
a conceivable breakdown of treatment
facilities.
The supplemental appropriation bill,
covering funds for the airport project
in general, originally contained $2.6
millions for a safe and sane sewage
disposal system recommended by the
Federal Aviation Agency and by other
Federal, District and Virginia author
tiles. The larger sum would have per-
mitted the piping of airport sewage
across the river to the Districts sewer
system and thence TO Blue Plains-far
below the river area from which the
city's water is taken.e But, the House,
in a Misguided and RISKY economy move,
slashed the appropriation and approved
the up-river disposal plan. The Senate
let the reduction stand without a fight.
The pernicious sewage item taints
the whole airport appropriation bill to
such q degree that the President would
be thoroughly justified in refusing to
sign the measure We hope he will send
the bill back to the Capitol with an
urgent request that Congress restore
the money needed to guarantee safe
and palatable drinking water for resi-
dents Of the District and vicinity.
