Capital area, the Corcoran Gallery op-
crates an excellent art school, both for

Starting with a liberal endowment
from its founder, William Wilson Cor
coran, Washington banker and philan-
thropiSt, the gallery has benefited from
other generous bequeStS. Vital to its
operation in recent years, however, nave
been the devotion and financial support
contributed by its relatively small Mem
berShip Association. No governmental
funds, District or Federal, have been
sought or received. The current aim is
to enlarge the Membership Association,
from its present roll of about 1000, as
well as to raise the contributing cate
CORY of the various types of membership.
The rewards for success in this effort

Young Man of IS

The day will come, presumably, when
many thousands of stirring words will
be released in observance of the death
of one of Britain's greatest of the great
Winston Churchill, among many
things, soldier, author and statesman
They will be words we'll deserved and the
printing of them on that occasion will
by no means discharge, even in liter
ary sense, the massive debt which free
mankind owes to this champion.
There is happier occasion at hand
now, however, in Mr.. ChurchilPS 85th
birthday. 1t has been written that he is
ailing, that he sometimes fumbles in his
speech and that he has impatient diff
flculties getting in and out of automo-
biles. None of this impresSeS us very
much. Mr.. Churchill has been Ealing"
before, and modern automobiles were
not designed for getting in and out of.
AS for his speech, Mr.. Churchill long
since gave to the English language a
grandeur unmatched and possibly un-
matchable by those who use it. He once
said that "Short words are the best,
and the old words-when short-are best
of ALL" For today, perhaps two of the
best are, Happy birthday"

Evidence of Reform

among us viewers of teleyision.
there need be no great concern about
the split between the major networks
on the idea of forming a citizen advisory
group to review TV programming and
advertising practices What is of in
tereSt, and considerable announcement
is the fact that broadcaSters, through
tnelr recent statements, have shown
that they are becoming more keenly
aware every day of public diSsatisfac-
tlon with some aspects of their product.
The dispute over procedures in

S1gurd S. Larmon that sponsors. adver-
tlSerS and broadcasterS jointly estab-
liSh public review committee" to On
into such matters as proper balance
OF programs, the use of commercials
and the roles of each of the participants.
The National Broadcasting Co., which
favored the plan, is setting up an advi-
sorry group of its own. We are inclined
to think that the Columbia Broadcast
ing System and the American Broad
casting Co. were right, however, in their
position that what the public sees is
basically the responsibility of the broad
casters, and that the TV house can't
be cleaned by passing the buck" to
outside groups. Such corrections as the
public demands, after all, should be no
less obvious to network executives than
they are to home viewers.
TeleviSion, meanwhile, is an ex-
tremely youthful medium, and good
many of its difficulties stem from that
fact. The voluntary Soul-searching now
taking place is quite natural, therefore.
and it will continue to be stimulated
by the fact that TV stations are licensed
by public agencies. The Federal Com
municationS Commission, for example,
will open hearings December 7 on vir-
tually every phase of video Broadcast
erS would be foolhardy indeed to relax
their improvement efforts in the face
OF such an implied threat of control
from the outside, and there is every
indication that they are determined not
to do so.

Kennedy's Answers

Senator Kennedy seems to us to
have given eminently sensible and forth
right answers to the questions put to
him by the New York Times in connec-
tion with the recent birth-control state
ment OF the Roman Catholic Bishops of
the United States
The statement, reaff1rming a basic
position on faith and morals, was
prompted in part by the fact that there
have been proposals advocating that our
Government help finance programs de-
signed to put check on the exploding"
populations of economically underdevel-
oped nations in Asia and elsewhere. In
the stern and disappearing words of the
bishops, the Catholics of our country
approximately SO million of them) will
not support any public assistance, either
at home or abroad, to promote artificial
olrth prevention, abortion, or Steriliza-
ton, whether through direct aid or by
means of international organizations.
This religious viewpoint has led a
number OF non-Catholic Americans. in
cluding notably the Protestant EPISCOPAL
Bishop Of San Francisco, to ask whether
1t is a viewpoint binding on Roman
Catholic candidates for public Office
Hence, since Mr.. Kennedy is a Roman
Catholic, and since his hat is in the
ring for the Democratic presidential
nomination, 1t is not surprising that he
has been questioned about it and that
the whole delicate subject thus has be-
come political as well as social, economic
and theological. Nor is it surprising
now that the issue has been raised. that
all nomination seekers in both parties
should be queried along the same line.
AS for his own replies, the Senator
from Massachusetts, has made the fol-
lowing points, among others: (1) It
would be psychological mistake" for
the United States, which has never ad-
Vocated such policy for itself or any
country anywhere, to offer funds to pro-
mote a limitation of population among
"olack or brown or yellow peoples" (21
Action OF that sort might well be re-
Sented by those peoples (3) However. If
the Indians, for example, wish to make
olrth control matter of national pol
Icy, that is their business, and it would
De unWise for our Government to with
mold general economic assistance from
them simply because they believe the
policy to be necessary.
Finally, Mr.. Kennedy has made clear
that II he were President, and if Con-
greSS enacted a law at variance with
the bishops statement, he would decide
whether to sign it solely on the basis
OF what he deemed to be best for the
United States, irrespective of religious
considerations. Like the other answers
ne has made, this is an impressive one.
In our view, he has done very well with
the QUESTIONABLE addressed to him.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Urges Government to Briqhten TV Picture

BY all means let us support
such necessary measures as
can be devise d to avoid
further scandals in connec-
ton with TV broadcasts. But
the real task ahead is to
find the way to prevent
further deterioration Of tele-
vision as a medium OF enter
tainment, information and
education. Columnist Walter
Lippmann has come up with
the only really practical way
to do this. He urges that the
Government establish a net
work -. run as a public serv-
ice." Alert citizens must
resolutely seize the opportu-
nifty which now exists to
create support for some So
luton along the lines of the
Lippmann proposal.
I urge that legislation
should be introduced in the
first days Of the opening ses-
sion of the Congress which
would:
(a) Set aside a channel
or channels for the exclusive
use Of a United States ver-
sion Of the British Broad
casting Corporations nom
profit corporation which the
Government would create and
finance but which would be
run by a board of directors
made up of the best and
most literate showmen, pub
licists and educators who can
be recruited in this country.
This board of directors would
be given absolute assurance
OF no political interference.
(b) Probably the best meth
cd to finance this corpora
tion would be by a small but
sufficient tax levied on all
TV sets made or sold ip the
United States.
1t must. of course, be made
clear to the public and Con-
greSs that what is being pro-
posed is not to drive the
commercial broadcasters of
the air; presumably the nom
profit agency would be as
signed rights to, say, 20 to

Hiqher Siqhts for 1860

The District of Columbia Election
Board is to be commended for the in
tenSity Of its current efforts to iron out
the precise mechanics of this city'S elec-
tion of convention delegates and local
political leaders next May 8. No stimu-
lant to early planning is needed beyond
recollection of the sad experiences of
1856, when District voters went to the
polls for the first time in more than
80 years.
In 1856 there was great delay in
counting the votes, and IL days were re-
quired for the final tabulation. The fault
lay not with the conscientious Election
Board, but with number of factors, in
cluding an inadequate appropriation, in
sufficient counters, and an unbelievably
complex ballot (there were 95 liStings on
the Democratic side alone).
Among a number of remedial pro-
posalS aimed at 1860, Newell w. Ellison,
the 1856 chairman, urged strongly that
the District law be amended to permit
"slate" voting, in which a single vote
could be cast for delegates lined up in
support of the various presidential as
pirantS. This reform, unfortunately,
never got off the ground, mainly be-
cause of opposition from local political
leaders of both parties. If this advance
ment is to remain blocked, and appar-
emily it is, the Election Board at least
should consider an inferior alternative
the physical grouping of SLATE" can
didates, even though they must be voted
for individually.
None of the boards eonclusions-if
conclusions have yet been reached-are
public property. The board is on the
right track, however, in fully investigat-
ing the possible use of voting machines,
which would enormously simplify proce-
dures. If this is not feasible, and count
ing must be done manually, number
of other improvements can be made.
One is to begin counting early in the
day, before the polls close. Others are
to count all votes at centralized point,
rather than in the precincts, and to line
up we'll in advance number of volun-
tary counters sufficient to handle the
job in several shifts.
The 1860 appropriation, Of $50,000,
Is $4,000 greater than before. The
Election Board UNDERSTANDABLE hopes to
live within this budget, but if it can't,
it should waste no time in seeking
further amount. While this will be an
election of limited proportions, short of
the desirable direct vote for President,
Vice President and representation in
Congress, it nevertheless should be a
model of its kind, as BELTS the Capital
of the Nation.

The satellites deviations

calculated. 1t is. of course,
an idealized concept. An
actual geoid doesn't exist out

Strated beyond any possible
cavil that dedicated and tai
ented citizens can be re-
cruited and, if given freedom
and a reasonable measure of
tenure, produce brilliant en-
tertainment which could
qualify as a genuine art form
that will capture the atten-
ton and win the support of
a very large, if not the major,
section of a nations popula-
ton. Surely Congress, the
Chief Executive and the pub
lie could reasonably assure a
United States counterpart of
the British Broadcasting Cor

antee Of independence as we
have for years afforded our

Commercial TV, if it really
has the heart and the brains
to compete dnstead of PAN
dering), would still have all
the chance in the world to
show that it could do as good
as or better job than a Gov
ernment-backed institution.
Congress must, if not this
year or next, but before too
long, wake up to the fact
that it is simply not in the
public interest"-indeed not
in the interests Of national
Safety-to continue to give
away all our air waves to
what are in terms of practi-
cal reality unregulable COM
mercial outfits. Experience
demonstrates that to reck-
leSsly turn over to commercial

to fraud and scandal. Worse
still, it leads to widespread

paradoxically, Mr.. McGill con-
