Of his Guardsmen would be at

Col. Black explains that his

assisting the Army in the de-

1854, when his Guardsmen
manned the 100 nm guns that
then made up the primary
defense weapons.
In 1857. he says. the Guard
started training In the use Of

has been given full responsible

with the Army at another.
Thus. he says, the Guard

Mr.. Palmer said it could de-
lay construction and possibly
increase the cost" He added
that he did not believe the
board was qualified to pass on
the ''highly technical" question Of
differences in various plans for
the building.
Commonwealth Attorney
Robert Fitzgerald said it was a
question of which drawings were
wrong-those of the architect
or the shop drawings Of the
contractors and subcontractors.
Mr.. Palmer said the Super
visors should go through q spe-
cific procedure if they wanted
to investigate. First, they
should get an accounting from
the architect, he said. If they
are not satisfied, they should
meet with the architect and
contractors, and then get ex-
perts to investigate and judge
the subject.

The Falrfax County Board OF
Supervisors has decided to take
into its own hands. temporarily
at least, the investigation In
the delays in construction Of
the 50 million Fairfax hospital.
The supervisors agreed last
night after a lively 21a-hour
session to meet at 8 pm. Sep
tember 2 with the Hospital Com
mission and with the Board Of
Inquiry that has been conduct
ing the investigation.
The Supervisors appointed
the five-man Board of Inquiry
q month ago. The board has
held four hearings at which
eight witnesses testified. More
than 400 pages Of testimony
have been recorded.
The board was formed to
check on the present status
Of the hospital project, whether
there would be additional costs
because Of the work stoppage
and what can be done to pre-
vent future delays.
Co.ordinator Proposed
In q preliminary report, the
board said some work was
being done on the south half
Of the project, but lack Of
coordination caused the stop
page: that additional costs
were undetermined. and that
the project itself would be de-
layed anywhere from ~
months to o year. It also said
an overall co.ordinator should
be named.

Free Nations Role

Mr.. Eisenhower stressed his be-
lief that aid to these underdevel-
oped areas of the world was the
proper business of all the free
nations Of the world. Americas
own best interest, our own hopes
for peace, require that we con-
tinue our financial investment
and aid. and persuade all other
free nations to Join us, to the
limit of their ability, in a long
term program, dependable in its
terms and in its duration"
Linking economic development
directly with the search for a
durable peace, Mr.. Eisenhower
observed that the world needed
something more than mere CO.
existence. After ALL" he declared,
IAN uneasy co-existence can be as
barren and sterile, joyless and
stale life for human beings as
the co-existence of cellmates in
a penitentiary or a labor camp"
The Presidents words seemed
to make clear that he would seek.
in the forthcoming summit talks
with the Soviet Union, to achieve
much more than a truce in the
cold war. And he appeared to be
confident that he would have the
support Of the other nations of
the Western alliance in the effort.

ences exist among the four pow
ers as to the proper technical
approach to the Berlin question
and the larger issue Of German
reunification. Mr.. Adenauer has
insisted that any discussion Of
West Berlin's future with the So
Wet Union must be held only In
the context Of the reuniflcation
issue.
The Western meeting resulted
Monday in Q formal invitation to
Soviet Premier Khrushchev to
meet with Mr.. Eisenhower, Mr..
Macmillan and Gen. de Gaulle on
April ~ at Paris. The language
of the invitation made 1t clear
that not only one, but series Of
summit meetings lies ahead.
The Kremlin replied promptly.
Expressing profound satisfaction
that you (Mr. Eisenhower, Prime
Minister Macmillan and President
de Gaulle consider 1t desirable
that, with q view to discussing the
major international problems,
summit meetings should be held
from time to time in countries
which are parties to such confer
ences." Mr.. Khrushchev asked.
however. that the April a date
proposed by Western leaders be
changed.
Evening star., 1959-12-27

Mr.. Khrushchev, President Eisen-
hover invited the Soviet dictator
to visit the United States. Here,
too, the result was not encour-
aging; it turned out to be propa-
ganda circus.
Russia Is Annoyed
Meanwhile in Asia, Red China
was acting as if its principal OBJ
jective was to thwart a Soviet
American detente. Russia showed
clear signs of annoyance. A theory
began to gain currency in Western
capitals: That Moscow was seek
ing a bridge to the West out Of
fear of China-the industrialized,
militant, atom-armed China of
1920 years hence, which will be
populated by l billion people. If
so, the terms of final settlement
might be far better than initial
indications would suggest.
Is there a relationship emerging
in which the West, India and
Russia will all join to contain
China? The idea seems fantastic
at this stage; but in 1945, it would
have seemed fantastic for Japan.
Germany and the allies of World
War II to have joined in contain
ing Russia. President Eisenhower
travelled $4,000 miles to dramatic
his sympathetic concern for India,
and Moscow never blinked an
eyelid.
Much difficult diplomacy obvi-
ously lies ahead before the prac-
ticality or desirability Of such an
alignment can even be seriously
explored. Among other things,
the West must first put its own
house in order.
But that task has been begun.
The West has offered to sit down
with Mr.. Khrushchev. Where
events will go from there, no man
can know.
