Select Toys That

Not Their Parents

Many parents forget when
choosing a child's toy for Christ
mas that the use Of the toy is
the most important thing 20 con-

Adults are inclined 20 chnoEa
toys that appeal 70 them f1rrei
ting to consider what the chtt
might like and what would be
most practical
For instance. intricate windup
toys have a limited use since
they do only one thing and are
very apt to get broken quickly.
Useful Toys
A toy with a variety Of uses
would be best. Blocks and other
construction toys can be used in
many games and do not break
easily. Boys enjoy dump trucks

girls like toys that initiate moth

Beautifully dressed expensive
dolls are a temptation, but most

Black Thursdoy'

A lot of monumental nonsense, it
seems to us, is being written about
American setbacks in the Olympic
Games. So much so that one might
think national disaster had befallen
us.
= On Thursday we lost the high Jump,
which we were supposed to win easily,
to the Russians, and German took
first place by the skin Of his teeth in
the 100-meter dash. Therefore, the day
becomes "Black Thursday" The news
dispatches speak of the Sudden and
shocking collapse" of American hopes.
And the defeats on this "humiliating"
day have become "real tragedy"
To our mind, if we may repeat, this
is nonsense. The Olympic Games are
for amateur athletes, and they should
be kept that way. If the Russians want
to fight it like a war;" let them But
we should remember that they are
games, not war; And while the desire
to win is an important part of any COM
petition, this ought not to be carried to
the point Of thinking that a defeat is
Just one step short of the end of the
world.

At to grant only half Of the $500,000
initial budget request which was worked
out carefully by the administration in
order to assure that the agency could
begin on a sound footing. Consequently,
only about half the jobs deemed neces-
sary can be filled at this time, and this
may limit the effectiveness Of the pro-
gram at the outset There is no reason
why request for more funds cannot be
reSubmitted in January, however, If Mr..
Vogel and his staff have progressed far
enough by that time to justify the need.
1t is expected, ultimately, that some
successor agency-probably either an
interstate authority or a Federal cor
poration-will actually construct and
operate the transit system. The real
chore facing the present agency is to
give Congress, no later than November,
1862, detailed proposals for setting up
this successor group, as well as engi-
neering plans for the system. Con-
sidering the problems, 26 months is none
too long. But at least the job has
started, and that itself is a cause for
qualification.

D-Doy for Transit

In a conmendable end-of-the
session squirt of activity, both Congress
and the White House have taken the
necessary steps to get the new National.
Capital transportation Agency off the
ground. Despite it's limitations, the
actual commitment by the Federal Gov
ernnent to this effort to develop rapid
transit system in the Washington area
is q tremendous advance, one which
many area residents did not believe
would occur so soon.
In selecting H. Holmes Vogel to
head the agency, President Eisenhower
properly has emphasized executive and
managerial ability-rather than ex-
pertness in the field of transit-to or
ganize and define the functions of the
new agency. Available to assist him is
a particularly distinguished advisory
committee of five citizens, all of. whom
fortunately are intimately familiar with
the Washington region and with the
details of the rapid transit program.
The tenure Of these appointees, due
to political circumstances, necessarily
is somewhat doubtful. With the change
Of administration in January, the new
President may decide to replace some
or all of these appointees, or, he may
request that the Senate confirm them
without change. In any event, that
problem will be faced after the elections,
and it is not particularly important at
the moment. What is important is that
the present appointees lose no time in
establishing Offices for the agency, re-
cruiting its 25-man staff of experts and
initiating the engineering, fiscal and
organizational studies that are essential
as prelude to actual construction of
the system.

Sugar Bill Dies

The President is reported to have
said that the failure of Congress to pass
his Dominican Republic sugar bill was
extremely serious" But this, we gather,
depends upon ones point of view.
Had the bill passed, Mr.. Eisenhower
would have been empowered to close
the door to some 10000 tons of wind
fall" sugar from the Dominican Repub-
ic-an added quota which went to the
Republic after we clamped down on
Cuban sugar imports. The President
wanted to use this as an economic
weapon against the dictatorial Trujillo
regime.
The House baked, however, refus-
ing to grant this authority unless the
Organization of American States i'm
posed economic sanctions on the Domin-
ican Republic before October Is. The
House Democratic leader, Mr.. McCor-
mack, put it this way: "The White House
has declared war on the Dominican
Republic and don't see why Congress
should be made party to it,"
This is both an overStatement and
an oversimpliication. For one thing,
domestic political considerations played
a part in the House action. 1t is a
fact, however, that the administration
wanted to use this sugar authorization
to crack down on the Dominican Re
public, even though other OAS members
have not taken comparable action. And
the wisdom of such move is open to
serious doubt-so much so that the fail
ure of Congress to act, instead of being
an extremely serious matter, probably
was good thing.

Hazardous Porkino

Since the completion Of
the Kenilworth interchange
its approach roads are grad
ually becoming filled with
parked trucks and trailers
on the gravel strips next to
the paved roads. These are
not occasional parkers but
trucks of large companies
which are left for periods ex-
tending over "a hours. And
some of the trucks are
parked up to the approach
roads to the interchange,
blocking the view of the
drivers entering into the in
terchange traffic.
What is a person expected
to do if he is unfortunate
enough to have a fiat tire,
or motor trouble? He can no
longer pull over onto the
gravel strip, out of the traffic.
The gravel strip may be full
OF trucks parked on what
was once built for just such
an emergency. The proper
authorities seem to be ignor-
ing this added hazard which
is growing as more and more
trucks are turning this into
a convenient parking lot.

Dream and Nightmare

In calling for efforts to negotiate
an American-Soviet agreement to keep
the cold war out Of Africa particularly
out of the Congo), Senator Mike Mans
field has proposed something full Of the
stuff that dreams are made of in mid
summer and every other season of the
year.
OF course, as the Senate's Assistant
Majority Leader and as veteran men,
ber of the Foreign Relations Committee,
the Montana Democrat realizes that his
idea is not likely to be warmly received
in Moscow. Nevertheless, hoping for
the best, he thinks that it ought to be
placed before the Kremlin as a sort
of challenge and that our Government
should make genuinely earnest try
for bilateral accord on it.
Perhaps such an effort should be
undertaken, and perhaps it would do
more good than harm, if only in terms
Of propaganda. Still, the fact remains
that the Russians have long since made
Africa key theater in the cold war,
and so nothing could seem less probable
than an affirmative reaction from them
in response to Mr.. Mansfeld's high
minded proposal After all, as they
have demonstrated over and over again
in the past, they do not withdraw from
any situation or any area in which they
feel they have a chance to carry out
programs of infiltration and subversion
calculated to help them achieve global
domination.
Certainly, as far as Africa is con-
cerned, Nikita KhruShchev and his COL
leagues have good reason to believe
that those programs promise to yield
big dividends. The crucial case in point
is the so-called Congo Republic under
the so-called government of the So
called Premier Patrice Lumumba AS
indicated by more than a few United
Nations officials, this has become kind
of nightmare land in which Soviet
"technicians and scores of
them-are now actively operating along
with equal numbers of native Congo
leSe who have had special training in
the USSR. And the result is, or so
it would seem, planned chaos carefully
designed to promote Communist take
over
Mr.. Lumumba has done nothing to
reaSsure the free world that this is not
so. On the contrary, with many of his
native Congolese advisers showing a
pro-Red bias strong enough to suggest
that they are agents of the Kremlin,
he has followed line sufficiently close
to MoScow's to make him look more
and more, from day to day, like the
USSR's chief Subservient creature in
Africa.
Maybe this does an injustice to the
man. Unhappily, however, all the out
ward signs suggest otherwise.

AS Congress goes back
home for Labor Day and the
beginning Of active cam
paigning for the November
election, Republican leaders
believe the Nixon-Lodge tick
ct has an edge over its Demo-
cratic opposition - the Ken
nedy johnson ticket. They
are not making noises Of
triumph. On the contrary,
they are insisting that the
presidential race will be hard
fought. They are basing their
quietly mentioned hopes on
the belief that the great issue
in the campaign will be the
conduct of foreign affairs.
and that the greater expert
ence in this field of both Vice
President Nixon and former
Ambassador to the United
Nations Henry Cabot Lodge
will be a deciding factor.
These Republicans believe.
too, that the recessed ses-
sion of Congress. now ended.
will be helpful to the Repub-
lican cause. They insist that
the inability of the Demo-
cratic leadership-the Demo-
cratic nominee for President,
Senator John F. Kennedy.
his running mate. Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas,
and Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas-to put through the
so-called Kennedy program
which was promised the vot-
ers in the party's national
platform will be a black eye
for the Democrats.
The Democrats, headed by
Senator Kennedy. are doing
their best to lay the blame
for the failure of their pro-
gram on Republican "ob-
struction" and on the veto
power of President Eisen-
hover which he dangled over
the heads of the Democratic
Congress. This seems, how
ever, pretty thin stuff. There
is no concealing the fact that
the Senate has 66 Democratic
Senators to "a for the Repub-
icans, and that the Demo-
Gratis have also a huge ma
jority in the House. Further
more, the so-called bobtail
session of Congress was not
a special session called by
President Eisenhower, but
had been designed and agreed
to by the Democratic lead
ership. The decision to hold
such a session was made in
the last few days of Congress
before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in Los An
geles. And the recessed ses-
sion was voted.
Democratic Party Split
The simple fact of the
matter lies in the division
between the liberals in the
Democratic Party and the
conservatives. It is a division
which has existed for years.
This recent session of Con-
gresS merely has thrown the
spotlight on it again. 1t is a
division that will continue to
exist in the new Congress
no matter whether Senator
Kennedy sits in the White
House or not. What reason,
then, do the voters who fol-
low the promises of the lib
