Our Place in Space

It would have been a magnificent
achievement, major first in space, If
our Atlas-Able three-Stage rocket had
succeeded on Thanksgiving Day in send
ing its 372-pound payload into orbit
around the moon. In number Of re-
6pectS, technically and scientifically,
such feat would have outShone the
Soviet lunar shot that preceded Premier
KhruShchev's visit to our country. Un-
fortunately, however, the project failed,
thus reminding all of us once more that
the saddest words of tongue or pen are
ait might have BEEN"
This is something we must adjust
ourselves to as Americans. For the prob
ability is that we are going to experience
more than few similar disappointments
and Illustrations in the future. Further
than that, as several experts have
warned us, the chances are that the Rus
slams, in the weeks and months imme-
diately ahead, will carry out number
of additional "spectaculars" in space,
including the orbiting Of man around
the earth-a project which we are not
likely to execute until some time in 1861
at the earliest To that extent, certainly,
the Soviet Union still seems to be ahead
of us by a wide margin in the high
heavens.
Why? The answer has been simply
stated by DR.. T. Keith Glennan, chief
of our National AeronauticS and Space
Administration. The sum Of it is this:
The United States started serious work
in the field "SiX or seven years after the
SovietS were pouring unlimited funds
and their best brains into the drive" to
dominate It, Quite obviously, we cannot
catch up with them overnight. 1t will
take us at least another three years, for
example, to produce rocket engines with
greater propulsive power than the ones
they already have available. Meanwhile,
they will not be standing still; on the
contrary, they can be counted upon to
continue going forward in way that
will make the competition perSistently
rough for us.
This does not mean, Of course, that
we have lost the race or that we cannot
hope to win 1t in due course. But 1t does
mean that we are seriously tagging be-
hind right now and that we must DO
much better than we have been doing
thus far in terms Of co-ordinating our
space program and spending all the
money necessary on projects that really
count. The field is one in which we can
be niggardly with dollars and imagina-
ton only at the risk of winding up sec
ond-beSt in it.

Change for the Better

1t Is noteworthy that the full texts
OF two important American speeches
nave been printed within the past week
IN Pravda, the chief organ of the Soviet
communist Party. Both speeches-one
oy Secretary of State Christian Herter
and the other by former Secretary of
State Dean contained severe
criticisms of the Kremlin, Mr.. Acheson's
especially.
TO put 1t mildly, this marks highly
unusual departure from past Soviet
policy. More than that, even though it
may have some hidden motive designed
to serve the Kremlin's purposes in a
dark way too subtle for simple minded
WeSternerS to comprehend, it is a de-
parture that deserves to be heartily
welcomed and encouraged.
Up to now, with very rare exceptions.
the publication of American speeches
has been unheard of in the Soviet Union.
Although the men of the Kremlin have
won tremendous attention in our free
press, radio and television, their coun-
terpartS in the United States have been
handled more or less as cipherS from
the standpoint of getting their views
publicized in the USSR. If Premier
Khrushchev is now in the process of
changing this gross imbalance, let's pat
him on the back for doing something
that can serve the cause Of world peace.

Strengthening the Heart

Among the many forms of urban
revitalization in which American cities
are engaging, none is as important
singly as strengthening the downtown
core, the heart which holds the Met
ropolitan Area together. Washington
businessmen, recognizing this, sometime
ago pledged approximately 100000 a
year to determine this city's weaknesses.
and to plan improvements to correct
them. An important second step now
has been taken with the hiring of a di-
rector for the ambitious study planning
program.
The director, Knox Banner, will
bring to Washington a substantial rep
utation. He has directed a similar
program in Little Rock. As a recent
president Of the National Association
OF Housing and Redevelopment ON
cials, he should have an intimate knowl-
edge OF the intricacies of urban renewal.
Although closely associated with city
planning, Mr.. Knox is not a planning
technician. He is an administrator, a
qualification which should help him
come to grips with the realistic prob
lens ahead
1t is expected that a long-range
plan for improving the central core will
require 1S months to prepare, rejecting
ooth the interests Of businessmen and
the concerns of a broader Washington
plan under preparation by the National
Capital Planning Commission. Before
this plan Is finished, however, at least
one downtown rehabilitation project
should be under way-dramatic enough
10 demonstrate and sustain the value
of the entire effort

Our Muddy Potomac

There was time not so long ago
when farmers on the upper reaches OF
the Potomac were blamed for the muddy
condition of the river after rains had
plastered the basin. In recent years,
however, it has become increasingly evi-
dent that part of the blame for the Seri-
Gus sitting conditions noted in the Wash
ington area rests on subdivision builders
in the nearby watershed. 1t is prob
lem which concerns. not only fishermen
and other sportsmen but the Army Corps
of Engineers, which has the RESPONSE
bility of keeping the river channels open
for shipping The special attention now
being given the silt situation by water
way interests is thoroughly justified.
In order to discuss ways and means
of controlling soil erosion along the
rivers banks, conservation and other
groups have organized the Conference
on Metropolitan Silt Pollution Control.
At a meeting of the conference here
plans were outlined for effecting better
cooperation of firms and individuals in
the field of soil-eroSion control. 1t was
pointed out that while Federal and State
agricultural authorities have done Won
derS in educating farmers in methods
of soil conservation on the upper river,
many builders of residential and indus
trial centers in the Metropolitan Area
have neglected the Soil-erosion problem.
Trees and grass have been bulldozed
from thousands of acres Of land to
make way for construction projects, and
too much of this bare soil has not
been replanted after grading operations.
moreover, great deal of construction
and industrial debris pollutes the river.
David Auld, chairman of the commits
sion, said that about million pounds of
debris of one sort or another have been
removed from the Anacostia River alone
in recent years.
Fortunately, State and county ALL
thorities have begun to show real inter
est in the river cleanup program. Their
aid is important, for they can exercise
control through governmental reguIa-
tions. In the end, it will take whole
hearted teamwork by public and private
