Not MoryIond's Job

Chairman Kirwan of the House APP
preparations Subcommittee on Park and
Parkway Planning made a strange and
illogical suggestion as to how the George
Washington Memorial Parkway might
be completed through Prince Georges
County. LET Maryland build It," he
commented during hearings on the re-
quest Of the National Capital Planning
Commission for 81 million to buy land
in the county for the final link of the
parkway.
But Congress many years ago gave
responsibility for planning and build
ing the parkway to the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission and the Park
Service. Maryland's part in the prof.
ect-like Virginia Sis to match Federal
appropriations for land purchases. Both
States have fulfilled their part of the
agreement, as laid down in the Capper-
Cramton Act. And Maryland already
has pledged 81 million toward the Prince
Georges County extension, although the
parkway is essentially national project
honoring the memory of George Wash
ington. For the Federal Government to
renege on its part of the bargain at this
late date would be an obvious act of bad
faith.

the $266,000 cost Of the lunches be
assessed against school budget item
entitled Supervision and Instruction"
According to school officials, this would
mean the sacrifice to the lunch program
Of IS teaching and supervisory positions.
Loss Of these positions, in turn, would
mean setback for the efforts to reduce
the ratio Of pupils to teachers, for the
foreign language courses and for the
supervisory STATS of elementary and
junior high schools.
This is too much of sacrifice. In
fact, the serving Of free lunches to needy
children is essentially welfare project.
the cost of which ought to be assessed
against welfare funds, not school appro-
priations. To saddle the schools with
this additional cost is irregular and i'm
proper. Funds for education ought to be
used for that purpose alone.

Inc DaCCie lines on tnlS years Tor
eign aid appropriation fight have ex-
panded quickly and substantially since
President Eisenhower's request late last
week for $50 billion.
On the extreme TANKS, as Of now,
are conflicting recommendation from
two groups-each bipartisan and includ-
ing former Government and military
figures of high rank. One, the Citizens
Foreign Aid Committee, has launched a
frontal attack against the whole prin-
ciple of foreign aid-urging its termina-
ton within three years and reduction
for fiscal 1860 by 81 billion. The other,
panel named by the President last
November to make Critical appraisal
of the subject, has recommended an
increase for the coming year Of $500
million-to be added to the SIG billion
marked for direct military assistance.
Most of the proposed increase would go
to supplying more intermediate range
missiles and other modern weapons to
our NATO allies.
Reduced to its common denomina-
tor, the argument between these two
groups comes down to this: Can our
security be attained through isolation
through the utilization of our resources
solely for the benefit of our domestic
economy and our own defense establish
ment? Or must security come through
the collective effort by the free world?
In its basic recommendations termi-
nate foreign aid entirely-the Citizens
Committee reveals its disregard for the
value of allies and its devotion to the
fortress America" thesis. The PreSi-
dents panel sees in this concept only
the grim result of our Nation living in
"a state of siege"
1t will be up to Congress, guided by
public opinion, to make determination
in this vital controversy. The President
made his original recommendation in a
strongly persuasive message to the Con-
gress. He supplemented this on Monday
night, with convincing firmneSS, in his
address to the Nation. Acting Secretary
of State Herter and UnderSecretary
Dillon have followed with effective testi-
mony before the House Foreign Affairs
Committee.
The precise amounts to be COM
mitted are debatable But the perilous
consequences of gambling that America
could live in safety by turning its back
on the rest of the free world are too
self-evident to be the subject of rational
debate.

Wear and Tear Plank

The Liberal Party of New York has
come up with campaign platform pro-
posal that could intrigue lot of tired
voterS-that there should be deprecia-
ton allowance for tax purposes to cover
wear and tear on the human body The
party argues, with logic that is highly
appealing, that such deduction would
be fully in line with the depreciation
allowed for plant and machinery. 1t
might, of course, be argued even further
that factories and their equipment may
be modernized, streamlined and even
replaced in toto to keep a business
aS-uSual pace. For a working stiff"
on the other hand, a certain kind of
Streamlining sometimes achieves a lin
tied success-but it is harder, If not
impossible, to replace the really worm
out parts.
There are, presumably, some tech
nical problems involved in setting up
the human depreciation formula-such
as whether it must be done by the
"straight-line depreciation" or the ode
probation reserve" method. Fixing the
book value or the capital liability, for
instance, are questions on which the
Internal Revenue Service and the sub
ject taxpayer might disagree. For our
selves, at this point, we are quite willing
to be reasonable about the most modest
valuation-just as long as it promises To
make some future April Is slightly
easier day of reckoning

Prisoners of Words

Senator Fulbright has addressed
himself to a useful and timely point
the danger that our foreign policy may
become the captive of words and slogans.
The chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee is not in any sense an
"appeaSer." Nevertheless, he thinks it
may be possible to negotiate with the
Russians and, as an example, he sug-
gestS the desirability of agreement on a
mutual withdrawal of forces in Central
Europe. If this were done it might ease
tensions and reduce the danger of an
accidental" war. But those who pro-
pose this kind of "diSengagement" often
are assailed as "appeasers" That this
should be the case is not especially sur
prising. Given a certain kind of men,
tality, and total lack of responsibility,
1t is easy to resolve such momentous
things as the Berlin issue in terms of
slurring words and half baked phrases.
Senator Fulbright's basic point is
that we must not fall into the error of
equating negotiations or disengagement
with such words as "appeaSement" and
retreat" To negotiate settlement on
a given point, assuming an acceptable
quid pro quo, is neither an act of APP
basement nor of retreat. And we must
not permit the specialists in invective to
Shackle our freedom of action.
For one thing is certain Our dis
pute with the Russians over Berlin and
Germany is going to be settled by
war, which no sane person wants, or
through process of negotiation which
will compose differences without sacri-
flee of principle. This latter process will
be difficult at best 1t will become i'm
possible If we let the catch-word artists
take us into camp

Fairfax Zoninq Chaos

Notification by Virginias Supreme
Court of the Freehill coming amend
ment, designed to restrict development
in the rural western part of Fairfax
County, is a severe setback to plans
for inSuring the orderly growth of the
county. The adoption of an emergency
amendment to replace the invalidated
regulation is only stopgap measure
to avert what one member of the Board
of Supervisors described as "sure-fire
chaos" The Fairfax coming crisis re-
quireS careful denomination of the
county'S coming program in the light of
the courts ruling against a two-acre
minimum for subdivision lots.
The interim measure, hastily passed
by the board within few hours after
the high courts decision against the
Freehill amendment, already is being
questioned on legal grounds. For it
retains in certain areas the two-acre
requirement knocked down by the court
as unconstitutional. Another round IN
the courts seems to be inevitable The
emergency regulation applies one-acre
minimum to lots in most of the as-yet-
undeveloped sections of the county But
no one can say whether this limitation
would meet with court approval, either.
For the courts have not laid down a
guide as to what may be valid lot size.
Yet, chaos Of sort is sure to de-
velop unless there is some reasonable
restraint on residential and commercial
development of the county's wide open
spaces. To return to the prezoning era
when builders could slice subdivisions
into half-acre lots, or less, would invite
a construction boom by spectators that
would far outstrip the countyS planned
extension of water and sewer systems
AS supporters of the Freehill amend
ment had stressed prior to its adop-
ton, too-rapid development could lead
to construction of private sewer systems
in watershed emptying into the Po-
tomac River above the intake supply for
WaShington's water system. The threat
of pollution would then be ever-present.
The Fairfax coming crisis therefore,
is of concern not only to the county
but to the Metropolitan Area in general.
The dilemma calls for immediate and
intensive consultations among county
officials and agencies charged with con-
trolling the county's expansion, with a
view to preparing new regulations that
would have a reasonable chance of
standing up in court. There is no time
to lose, for the county is growing at a
dizzy pace.

Population Trend

Whether the present ma
jority Of Negroes in the Dis
trict's population is due to
an invasion of the nom
whites or to an evasion Of
the whites depends mainly
on who Is phrasing the
answer. In many quarters
alarm grows apace.
To me it appears, how
ever, that hope for all lies
over the not too distant hills
Of time. When Negroes be-
gin invading" the suburban
areas at least one of several
trends will result: Either the
whites will flee farther into
rusticity, or they will halt
their fight, or they will be-
gin to return to the urban
life.
Considering suburbia's al
ready throbbing problems. l
think the first is the least
likely More likely, there will
be a stabilizing period, fol-
lowed by a steady increase
in the white population pro-
portion within the city. The
consequences will add up to
a more ideal situation in
every way.

@. How long does it take
to train a polo honse?-V.E.
A. The training of a horse
for polo may take four or five
years. After a young horse is
broken to saddle and has
learned the ordinary things
expected of a saddle horse.
he is broken for polo. Clubs,
ropes and malletS are swung
around his head to accuStom
him to a players action while
riding at polo. After that the
horse must learn to come to
a stop within minimum time.
to turn. twist, and resume
stride with no real loss OF
momentum. In short. he
must become an equine aero
bat. Then the horse must
learn to endure collision with
other horses. If he rebels at
this, he is of no use in polo.
A trained polo horse is worth
from $1,000 to $4,000 or
more, and has brought as
high as $4,000.
