A Nonportison Issue

One issue on which both presidential
nominees are in full agreement concerns
the equalizing of retirement benefits
for all military personnel. Vice President
Nixon and Senator Kennedy have as
sured the Retired Officers Association
of their support for legislation to end
an inequity of the 1858 Military Pay Act
that has created so-called inferior
retired list" in the armed services. Those
on this list, having been retired before
the pay law became effective, are I'M
fairly barred from receiving retirement
pay equal to that granted officers and
enlisted men who have retired since
that date. The discrimination is sense
less and destructive of the morale of
officers subject to recall at any time
We hope the next Congress will correct
the 1858 mistake.

Remarkable Staying Power

The National Recreation Congress,
properly concerned over the gradual
encroachment of public works on park
lands, can point to Washington's "tem-
pos" as an example of the dangers in
herent In even a so-called temporary
conversion of the parks to other uses.
We have learned by sad experience
that temporary" or emergency" public
structures develop remarkable staying
power. Some of those here, for in
stance, date back to World War I.
T. Sutton Jet, associate superin-
tendent of National Capital Parks, told
committee Of the congress that about
$50 acres of land in the Washington
area supposedly reserved for recreation
use have been taken over for public
construction, including buildings and
highways. He pointed out that 10
acres of Federal park property still are
occupied by the tempos. Although these
unsightly buildings are slated to be torn
down eventually, he said, the date
when they finally will go is anybody's
guess"
Among the more permanent looking
Of the tempos are the old Navy and Mu-
nitions buildings on Constitution ave-
nue.. These concrete structures are left
overs from World War I. Park officials
have made them a prime target in
their latest plan for redeveloping the
Mall between the Lincoln Memorial and
the Washington Monument. These two
buildings and number of frame shackS
on the south side of the Rejecting Pool
would have to be RACED to make way for
driveways proposed on both sides of the
pool. We wish the park people luck in
their efforts to regain possession of the
land so long defaced by buildings which
should have been removed years ago.

Still Unfit

NlKlCa hnruSncneVS real or syn
thetic rage to the contrary notwith-
standing, the General Assembly should
vote resoundingly to uphold its Steering
Committees 12-to-7 decision to Shelve
for another year the question of Red
China's admission to the United Nations
This is the tenth such decision since
1851, and there are very good reasons
for it.
The chief of these is that Peiping
has yet to meet the primary require
ment for U. NJ membership-namely
that the applicant must be "peace-lov-
ing" Instead, as the Assembly has been
reminded by American Ambassador
WadSworth, the Chinese Communists
continue to show every evidence of being
bent on conquest through a policy of
SubverSion and naked armed power.
Thus, wholly apart from their unpurged
crime of aggression in Korea, they have
recently committed grave outrageS
against Tibet and intruded militarily
on the territory of India. At the same
time they have been exerting preSsures
on Laos, and they have once again Sug-
gested that they are contemplating the
use of force to Hibernate" Taiwan (For-
moSa).
More than that, quoting from an
official publication Of the Central Com
mittee of China's Communist Party, Mr..
WadSworth has given proper emphasis
to the significant fact that Peiping, far
from being "peace-loving, has vigor-
ously Endorsed the idea of reSorting to
revolutionary violence" and "revolu-
tionary war"-even a nuclear conflict
in which 800 million Chinese might be
killed-if it will advance the cause of
communism and beautiful" reform.
In Mr.. WadSworth'S words: This, I
believe, is the only recorded instance of
a group of men anywhere in the world
believing that world war fought with
hydrogen bombs, in which up to half or
more Of their own population would be
wiped out, would lead to a beautiful
future for anybody"
All this speaks pretty much for IT.
self 1t makes clear beyond any shadow
of doubt that the Chinese Communists
are still unfit for membership Certainly,
as Mr.. WadSworth has declared, ITO
admit them here would be to Stultify
our organization and to subject it to a
stunning blow at the very moment when
it faces new and historic tasks for the
sake Of freedom and peace"

Too Good to Be Wasted

An Arlington County planning con-
sultant rightly contends that Rosslyn
is an area "too good to be wasted in the
kind of usage we now have" there. Too
much of RosSlyn truly is being wasted on
cheap construction and types of bust
ness that affront the Sensibilities of Wis
itors coming through this gateway to
Virginia"
The consultant, George C. Smith,
has recommended major redevelop-
nent program for the old community
one planned and supervised by suit
able government agency. Private rede-
velopment alone cannot do the job that
needs to be done-as long experience
has shown. What is needed in Arlington
is a redevelopment agency of the sort
that is Transforming Southwest Wash
ington from an eyesore to an attractive
section Of the city.
Arlington voters turned down pro-
poSal for such an agency in a recent
referendum, but there is reason to be-
lieve that the voters were not fully in
formed as to the purposes of the prof.
ect. We hope the citizens of Arlington
will give serious consideration to an
adequate plan for redeveloping Rosslyn
into an area Of which the county can be
proud.
