Dispersal Is Obsolete

Chairman Robert E. Jones of the
House Public Buildings Subcommittee is
right in holding that the trend toward
dispersal of Government buildings does
violence to the constitutional concept
OF Washington as the seat of the Ma
tional Government. His efforts to halt
the trend and maintain the original
concept of Federal establishment con-
centrated within the District of Colum-
bia are most timely, for the Federal
movement toward the suburbs has not
yet been arrested
Latest of the moves has been that
Space Administration, which is planning
laboratory and Office facilities at Green
belt, Maryland. The Central Intelligence
Agency already is building a home in
another irection-Langley Virginia.
And the Atomic Energy Commission,
after year in its new building near
Germantown, Maryland, is ready and
eager to return to Washington. 1t is
too bad that the lesson learned by the
Acc does not seem to have made much
of an impression on other agencies with
an urge to roam.
The dispersal of Government build
ingS was begun before the H-bomb
blasted the idea that move into nearby
counties would safeguard agencies from
nuclear attack. The fall-out threat of
the H-bomb now is of such scope as to
make the dispersal program obsolete.
Chairman Jones has proposed the scrap
ping of the dispersal theory in favor of
keeping Federal offices in Washington,
as the trainers of the Constitution in
tended. He has recommended that
hereafter all requests to Congress for
approval of Federal moves to other
places be channeled through his sub
committee This would be an orderly
procedure that might save some agen-
cieS from making mistakes such as the
Acc made when it moved to the Ger
mantoWn area.

Reality and DR.. Castro

Premier Fidel Castro OF Cuba unde-
niably Is endowed with a considerable
amount OF youthful bravura, but his
sense OF realism sometimes seems 10 be
more than a little bit distorted or defi-
Client A striking case in point can be
found In his speech calling upon the
United States to spend $50 billion over
the next 10 years on a Latin American
development program.
AS he has explained II az the Buenos
Aires meeting OF the economic branch
OF the 2l-nation Organization Of Amer
lean States, DR.. Castro would put his
idea 10 work without moments delay
That is TO say. he would have our coun-
try launch the undertaking right away
on the basis OF Arm decade-long COM
mitment-apparently with no strings at
tached-to pour out SO billion annually
on a wide variety of projects, big and
small. designed to promote a sort OF in
dustrial and agricultural revolution in
all the lands to the south of us.
This is spectacular, and to many
Latin Americans It may look very good
and very sensible. From the standpoint
Of hard realities, however, the proposal
is really quite unSound. To begin with,
even in the days of the excellent and
highly successful Marshall Plan for
European recovery, the Congress of the
United States has never made (nor is 1t
ever likely to make) an advance eco
nomic commitment of the duration and
scale urged by DR.. Castro Further, his
idea-which he has submitted with the
warning that it must be adopted to in
sure the survival of democratic govern
ments in Central and South America
seems to be based on the premise that
our country has been niggardly in its
hemisphere aid.
Actually, of course, that premise is
altogether incorrect. For the truth is
that our Latin American assistance
in the form of private capital invest
mentS and large-Scale loans through
such agencies at the Export-Import
Bank-haS been anything but small over
the years. True, its magnitude could
have been greater, and there are steps
being taken now to make it greater, but
the sum total of it has been fairly mas
Sive. Why then has it not been as effec-
tive as the Marshall Plan in Europe?
The answer is made up of many COM
plicated factors, but not the least of
them is this: That many of our good
neighbors to the south have misman-
aged their home-front economies.
These are but a few of the con-
SiderationS that point up the lack of
realism in young Dr. CastroS headline
winning plan to put our country on
breath-taking spending spree in the
Americas. Now that he has come to
the end of his hemisphere tour, it must
be hoped that he will settle down to
the hard task of putting Cubas house
in order. Once he does that, he prob
ably will have better understanding of
why economic aid cannot be as free and
easy as the kind he has proposed.

War Against Cancer

Secretary Dulles life has
been dedicated to the preven-
ton Of war, yet he is a VIC
time Of the greatest scourge
known to mankind. We spend
$40 billion a year to prevent
war and contribute peanuts
to win the one over cancer
No war has taken the toll
that cancer takes each year.
Over $50 billion has been
made available for foreign aid
and countless billions are
being appropriated for the
space age. Why don't we get
down to earth and finally
realize that cancer is man
kinds worst enemy and do
something to conquer it?
1t is time that the Presi-
dent Of the United States APP
point f1Ve or ten OF the lead
ing cancer specialists to study
the problem, have them make
a report to him with recon-
mendations, submit it to the
Congress and appropriate the
funds necessary to carry out
the program. All this should
be done before this Congress
adjourns.
We should place as much
or more emphasis on the cure
of cancer as we have done on
the development of atomic
and hydrogen bombs. 1t will
take an all-out effort to win
the battle. Why continue to
permit this unnecessary huge
and painful loss of precious
life? Frank Swelling.

Giant Killer

The "old pros" are taking it on the
chin of late in the field of Maryland
politicS-and as they take the count a
youthful giant killer has emerged into
the spotlight. He is 42-year-old J. Har-
old Grady, Democrat and governmental
reform advocate, who first toppled vet
eran Thomas D'AleSandro i'll Baltimore'S
mayoralty primary last March and now
has administered 2-to-1 beating in
the election to Republican Theodore
Roosevelt McKeldin.
Former Governor McKeldinS bold
bid to return to the Office of Mayor,
which he held for four years before
becoming Governor, ran head-on into
the Grady power drive, which gained
strength from the support which Mr..
D'Alesandro threw to his primary OPP
ponent. Even the belated help which
Mr. McKeldin received from Northwest
BaItimore'S controversial Democratic
"boss," Jack Pollack, failed to halt the
Grady onslaught. Mr. McKeldin's po-
litical future thus has been dealt a
severe blow, to say the least.
Baltimore'S new Mayor is former
FBI agent who has made an excellent
record as States Attorney and who has
campaigned for "clean government
free from political "boSSism." His pri-
mary race was his first venture as
candidate for elective Office. His over
whelming victories in both the primary
and the election signify popular de-

Very Short Answer

There have been times when the
President has tried to say too much in
answering questions at his news confer
ences. But his response to one question
yesterday certainly cannot be criticized
on this score.
A reporter put this question: "Mr.
President, Senator Symington says that
contrary to the testimony of General
Twining, we have no IRBMs ready to
go in England. The Senator calls this,
and I quote, part of deliberate policy
to conceal from the people the weakness

Would you comment on this, sir?"
Mr.. Eisenhower replied: mo"
That is short, clear and. we think,
appropriate answer.

developed headaches. sore
Threats and chills. In one or
two cases there was vomit-
ing and a low grade fever.
All this complex Of symptoms

and allowed to run its course.
Eight days after all the
prisoners we're released from

illness broke out in the gen.
eral prison population. The
disease ran its course in three
or four days. The virus was
recovered from throat swab-
bling Of eight men.
Virulent Agent Found
Thus, the Public Health
Service doctors claim, there
can be little question but
that one quite virulent agent
of colds among adults has
been found. The proportion
Of illness for which 1t is re-
sponsible is unknown. No
claim is made that the "cold
germ" has been found.
The study now is being
continued at Notre Dame
university where colonies of
germ-free animals are main
tanned. There tests can be
made without the complica-
ton Of the presence of other
micro-organislns which are
present ordinarily in every
body and may add to the
virulence of the virus colds.

Notre Dame staff now is at

clude the two new virusss as
well as several others pre-
Yiously known which are sus-
pected of causing cold-like
symptoms.
The type one hemadsorp-
ton virus may infect chill
dren almost universally but
probably the illness it causes
is not very serious. 1t may
even result in building up
some resistance 10th to itself
and to other similar viruses

Blind Justice

The Fourth Circuit Courts ruling
in the Prince Edward County school
case does two things which, we think,
are unwise and which in the end will
prove harmful to both white and colored
children.
This ruling strips Federal District
Judge Hutcheson, the man closest to
the scene and to the people of Prince
Edward, of all discretion. Judge Hutch
eSon, foreseeing closed schools and Sc
rious injury to the education of children
of both races, had postponed the begin
ming of indignation until 1865. But the
circuit court, at the request of lawyers
for the NAACP. has said that this will
not do. Instead, the local authorities
now face command to start deSegrega-
ton in September of this year. And of
Judge Hutcheson's time extension, the
appellate court said: mo argument is
needed to show that the last delaying
order of the district judge cannot be
approved, and that it has become nee
eSSary for this court to give specific
directions as to what must be done"
In short, court of appeals, which has
no f1rst-hand knowledge of the local
situation, has taken over. Henceforth,
1t will tell Judge Hutcheson what he
must do.
The second unwiSe aspect of this
ruling is that it undertakes to require
deSegregation in county which has
insisted that it will not integrate its
schools pnrhorc this &c
matter of concern to an appellate court.
But it should-and it will-concern all
the people of Prince Edward County.
Prince Edward is small rural
county lying some so miles southwest of
Richmond. Its school population is 81
per cent colored and as per cent white.
White parents have made the necessary
preparations to establish private schools
for their children. Nothing has been
done to provide any schooling for colored
children if the public schools are closed
down, as most probably will be the
case if specific demand for enrolment
of colored children in white schools is
made.
This is a dismal prospect. Judge
11uGCIlcoOA IldO lOu1lQ IIldG EIlIlC6 EQ-
wards schools for colored, in terms of
curriculum and physical plant, are equal
to If not better than the white schools.
The appellate court does not dispute
this. Now, however, in keeping with the
Supreme Courts holding that segregated
schools are Inherently unequal, the issue
is pushed to point at which the colored
children are facing the prospect of no
schools as the alternative to segregated
schools.
1t may be said, and it may be
true, that the Prince Edward authorities
would be no more ready to accept inte-
grafton in 1865 than they are today.
1t may also be true that some kind of
schooling for colored children, privately
or perhaps Federally operated, even
tually will be provided in Prince Edward.
In the short run, however, the education
of the children will suffer severely. And
even in the long run the degeneration
problem will not be solved. This may
be juStice-but in the Prince Edward
situation 1t is form of justice which
is Singularly blind to the consequences
that are being visited upon those whom

Of viruses-the inhniteamally

many OF the most devastat-
ing human, animal and plant
diseases-which cause cold
like maladies OF the upper
respiratory tract without

For one OF these families
there is a fairly effective vac
cine whose worth has been
demonstrated with Navy re-
cruits. For the other a vac
cine Is being prepared.
Colds. however, doubtless
include an unknown number
OF quite distinct diseases with
roughly common symptoms,

however, Of decreasing the
number.
New Family Found
The latest discovered
family with two known mem
bers is that Of the so-called
''hemadsorption absorption"
viruses. named from the tech
nique by which they were
discovered. They came from
throat swabs of children with
colds" in various institutions
around Washington. The dis
covery grew out of tests with
a rapid method for diagnos-
ing influenza. The new
viruses could not be found in
children without upper re-
spiratory infections. Blood
tests with adults indicated
that most persons have a
built-up resistance to the dis
ease agents, a sign that they
have suffered from them be-
fore
The viruses appear quite
similar to those responsible
for some kinds of flu and
mumpS, although the symp-
toms they cause are quite diff
ferent. The present evidence
indicates that hemadsorption
type one probably seldom
causes trouble for adults.
Type two. rare in the chill
