Gas Tax Rise
Accord IsSeen

House leaders were ready to-

passed bill raising the Federal
gasoline tax cent a gallon to
finance highway construction.
Although some controversy
still existed over Senate House
differences, prospects were con-
sidered good for quick agree
ment and completion Of con-
gresSional action.
President Eisenhower, who
wanted a tax increase of IA
cents a gallon. has indicated
the l-cent highway financing
measure was acceptable.
The only important Senate
change in the tax-raising Sec
ton Of the bill would make the
effective date of the gasoline
tax increase october l, instead
Of September /. This was pro-
nounced acceptable to House
tax leaders.
Differences yet remain to be
settled. however. over insertion
Of a Senate provision which
would ease restrictions against
billboards on sections of the
interstate highway syste m
within city limits.
Some House leaders favored
leaving the matter to the juris-
diction of municipalities be-
cause Of difficulties which might
be encountered in administer
ing anti billboard rules in
built-up city areas.

Break Predicted
Milan's big morning paper

Milan's Corriere Della Sera

The story referred to a sta

Callas. There was no mention
Of separation, however.
Movie Career Blamed
Corriere said "a source close
to Callas" denied that Mr..
Onassis was the cause of the
rift. 1t quoted the informant
as saying the difficulty
stemmed from the singers de-
sire to spend more time making
movies.
There are rumors circulate

For Peace on the Potomac

Only congressional approval is
needed now to complete legislative crea-
ton of Maryland Virginia compact
that should bring to an end the long
interstate war" over fishing rights in
the Potomac River. The unanimous
acceptance by the Virginia Senate of
amendments made by the Maryland
General Assembly in the proposed agree
ment has sent the document to Gov
ernor Almond for the formality of sig
nature. Governor TaweS of Maryland
already has signed the pact.
1t had been feared for a while that
the recent fatal shooting ARRAY near
Colonial Beach might delay or wreck
ratification plans. In that incident,
reminiscent of long series of battles
over illegal dredging of oysters in Mary

and another wounded by gunfire from
a Maryland police boat. Fortunately,
however, the effect was to increase de-
mandS for compact designed to bring
peace to the river.
Under the agreement, Virginia for
the first time will be given a voice in
controlling oyStering and general fish
ing operations on the Potomac A joint
commission, representing both States,
will be set up, with power to draw up
regulations and to enforce them. This
sensible pact will replace the 1785 COM

certain fishing rights, but control of the
river was left in Maryland hands There
have been intermittent controversy and
warfare on the lower Potomac ever
since.
In evaporation over this warfare,
Maryland last year renounced the 1785
compact unilateral action challenged
in the Supreme Court by Virginia. The
high court, reluctant to enter the dis
pute, appointed retired Justice Stanley
Reed as peace" commissioner to at
tempt an out-of-court settlement. Jus
tice Reed, with fine tact and persistence,
succeeded in having the two States name
temporary commission to explore the
possibilities Of a new compact. The
present agreement was the result.
The final move is up to Congress.

Costro'sCubo

In his talk to the American Society
of Newspaper Editors, Fidel Castro
labored under two handicaps-a limited
command of English and skeptical
audience. When he had finished, how
ever, the net effect of his effort, we
thought, was generally favorable.
One could wish that the Cuban
Prime Minister had been less equivocal
In disavowing the role Of communism
in the revolution and in Cuba's future.
On this score the United States has
ample reason to keep fingers crossed
until clearer picture emergeS. BY our
standards Senior Castro's concept Of
justice in democracy leaves something
to be desired. In defending the Cuban
executions, for example, he said: when
the overwhelming majority Of the people
of Cuba support revolutionary justice,
you ought not to have any doubt that
we are doing the right thing" This is
naive, to say the least. We suppose that
the overwhelming majority of the Rus
sian people supported Soviet justice as
applied in Budapest. But mass mani
festations of approval do not prove that
Justice was done-either in Budapest or
by the Cuban firing squads.
We in the United States must hope,
however, that time, maturity and i'm
proved internal conditions will lead
Senior Castro and Cuba in the direction
of what our people think of as real
political freedom The Prime Minister
was quite effective in picturing the dis
tressed economic condition Of his coun-
try and in appealing for American I'M
derStanding of Cuba's needs. For our
part, we ought to act intelligently about
this. There would be no sense in driving
Cuba into the arms Of the Communists.

said that communism would not succeed

The UJA Emergency

At their emergency conference here
tomorrow night, the 16 major Jewish
organizations of the Greater Washington
area will deal with problem of critical
Importance to Israel. The problem has
to do with raising additional funds to
carry out a. great humanitarian task.
This task bears directly upon the
immediate and future well-being OF the
many thousands of men, women and
children who within recent months
have emigrated to Israel from East Eu-
ropean countries, particularly Romania.
These newcomers must be provided with
sustenance, housing and employment
that will enable them to become self
supporting. In short, they need help
of kind that requires of lot Of money.
That is why the 1859 United Jewish
Appeal, besides seeking to raise sos
million to meet the regular budgetary
OUTLAWS of UJA-financed agencies, is
calling upon the Jews of America for
extra contributions to create special
fund of 500 million to enable the
ISraeliS to cope with the emergency
caused by immigration.
Tomorrow nights meeting will alert
the Jewish community of this area to
the pressing nature of the situation.
The response to the appeal ought to be
swift and generous, for the cause is
good, and the giving, like the quality of
mercy, will be twice blessed.

A Lot of Bad AppIes'

Your recent editorial, "A
Lot of Bad Apples" discusses
the woeful increase of delin-
quency in the West and Of
"hooliganism" in the East,
together with the general
crime. war and immortality
which have characterized
our generation. You observe
that there just seems to be
a new degree of meanness,
an increasing tendency to be
perverse and even criminally
undisciplined among young
people everywhere" Then you
pose the seemingly unanswer-
able question, what accounts
for the phenomenon.
Could it be due to the in
crease in population? No.
According to FBI reports, the
crime rate is outStripping the
population growth several
times over. Could it be due
to social environment? No
News reports show that the
problem involves all levels.
Could it be due to a decrease
in church attendance? No.
Church attendance has in
creased on a comparative par
with crime increases.
The fact, as you recognize
1t, that such a sharp increase
in lawlessness is a worldwide
phenomenon indicates that
the answer to the riddle
could not be of a worldly
source. After all, the i'll pa
tent is the world; and with
such a diSease-a "decadence
disease" according to j,
Edgar Hoover-the world is
too sick to be its own doctor
The answer therefore must
lie not in the wisdom of this
age or of the rulers of this
age. who are doomed to pass
away" but rather one must
seek "the hidden wisdom OF
God" which a according to
Gods Word none of tn G
rulers of this age under
stood" First Corinthians
ii, 6-8.) Is it not true that
worldly remedies are never
ending, but the problem con-
tinueS to grow?
The wisdom containing the
remedy is hidden" in a par
adoxical way. Almost every
home has the answer to the
worlds ills, hidden as it were
between the pages of its
seldom-studied Bibles.
AS anyone knows, If the
rotten apples remain tn G
whole barrel will go bad. But
the rotten apples will not
remain. "Yet a little while
and the wicked will be nc

Weighing the Ballot

Just a word Of reply to
R. J. Burt's letter, Straw in
the Wind" 1t is indeed re-
gretable that the privilege of
voting in a free election is
taken so lightly that a mans
attendance or nonattendance
at a baseball game determines
whether or not his party gets
a vote in the next election.
Perhaps if this individual had
spent those 10 years as a
disfranchiSed resident of the
District of Columbia. he would
give his precious vote the
serious thought and de-
liberation it should have, and
would then place his vote not
with the Republican Party
or Democratic Party, not with
the attendance record at local
sports events by the PreSi-
dent, but with the man who
would, in his thoughtful
opinion, do the best job for
this Nation.
