Afraid of the Truth

1t is interesting and instructive to
note how the Soviet Union has handled
the story of President EiSenhower'S elo-
quent address to the United Nations
General Assembly. Here are the salient
facts:
u Far from giving the story any
radio or television coverage, the Krem-
lin has subjected 1t to the electronic
howlS Of the USSR's elaborate network
OF tamming stations. AS a result, ac-
cording to the Voice OF America, the
Russian people have heard only about
so per cent of the broadcaSts we have
beamed to them in an effort to give.
them some idea of the Presidents
peace-promoting proposals.
q AS for Soviet newspapers, the
performance of Pravda may be regarded
as typical. Thus this daily mouthpiece
Of the Communist Party of the USSR
has devoted only 500 words to MIR. EiSen-
hower'S appearance before the U. N,
and 1t has relegated those words to an
inside page, burying them within the
body of long story about Nikita Khru-
Shchev and his adventures In New York
Moreover, with characteristic contempt
for objectivity and the truth, Pravda in
this ScandalouSly brief report on the
President fonly IzveStia has published
the text of his Speech) has described his
armS-control proposals as plans to leg
alize espionage" and it has made a
cheap little crack about his being forced
by public opinion to skip golf for day
in order to speak to the General As
sembly.
Meanwhile, back here In America,
our radio, television and press have been
giving all sorts of time and Space-in
audio broadcasts, TV programs, 'front.'
page pictures, huge headlines and col
umns and columns Of type-to Mr.. KS
doingS. The contrast is terrific, with
the USSR according virtually no pub
licity to our President. The only con-
cluSion to be drawn, Of course, is that
the Kremlin is afraid that the truth
might otherwise get across to the Rus
sian people.
Some Americans have suggested
that we ought to retaliate by giving the
Soviet leader the silent treatment. But
we are a free Nation, and we cannot
impriSon our minds behind an iron
curtain Of censorship. Perhaps some of
our news media are overplaying the
KhruShchev story, but our system of
reporting is one of the great safeguards
of our liberties, and to diminish it would
be merely to ape the spirit of the Kremlin.

Everybody's Candidate

AS had been predicted, all three po-
litical groups in Arlington County now
have Endorsed Ernest Wilt, an independ-
ent, for election to the County Board.
Old-timers in the county cannot recall
a similar political phenomenon. There
is reason for this widespread support
of Mr.. Wilt, reluctant candidate.
The reason is that this banker and
businessman has shown that he Is a
Selfiess worker for the public goodwill
no motives other than the betterment
of the county and the improved welfare
of its citizens. It was because of this
background of service to the community
that Mr.. Wilt was appointed last Janu-
ary to succeed the late David L. Krup-
saw until an election could be held.
When Mr.. Wilt sought to withdraw after
this interim service because Of health
considerations, Democrats, Republicans
and members of the Arlingtonians for a
Better County (ABC faction) prevailed
upon him to run for the ONCE this
November. Having no opposition, his
election is assured. Arlington thus is
assured of the valuable services of this
public servant to fill out Mr.. Krupsaw's
unexpired term.

FROM THE STAR FILES.
50 Years AGO

A Sunday spin in the fam
lily touring car" polished to
mirror brightness for the

fraught with peril so years
ago. Automobile Editor How
ard Fisk in The Star of Sep
tember 25, 1910. wrote: "A

Purpose of Renewal

Whatever his motives may be, the
latest attack on the District urban
renewal program by Representative
Thompson of New Jersey has done
nothing to clarity the forthcoming
House and Senate Investigations Of the
program.
1t is the premise of Mr.. Thompson,
as far as we can decipher his somewhat
diSjointed statement in the Congress
sional Record, that the Republican ad-
miniStration is conducting a massive
"alibi" and "whitewash" of the program.
y And according to Mr.. Thompson, who is
a Democrat, the fault that the Repub-
licans are trying to cover up is that
urban renewal, elsewhere as we'll as
here, is exploiting" low-income Negro
families by displacing them from rede-
,Velopment areas.
Mr.. Thompson, of course, is making
political pitch. What interests us,
however, is that in doing so he has
seized on series of charges which per-
.hapS for too long have gone unanswered,
land which might we'll be laid to rest
,once and for all in the hearings which
the House and Senate District Commit
tees will hold early next year on the
tConduct of this city'S urban renewal
efforts.
The question involved is not a
simple one, for it goes to the very root
of whether the national urban renewal
program is performing a proper func-
ton, or whether its goals and aims have
han0FNAn fnG 1ae AG 70
that the present purposes of renewal
here, even though they may have
changed over the years, are proper and
valid-that the huge Southwest project,
flor example, was selected as the once
in-a-lifetime opportunity to create
there high-quality residential and
waterfront area that would be cul-
'tural and an economic asset to the city,
with some, but not the predominant
emphasis, placed on housing for low
income families. In other parts of the
District, the emphasis could be changed.
There are honest differences of
opinion, of course, about where the re-
Inewal emphasis should be placed. But
TOO often those who raise such charges
as Mr. Thompson has raised refuse to
view urban renewal as city-wide pro-
gram, and their attacks serve only to
arouse suspicion and confusion which
hinder the entire effort.
:, Thus far, the Senate investigators
presumably are concentrating on the
organization of renewal activities here,
and on the wisdom of specific proce-
.dures. This is all to the good. Certainly
the need for more forceful and precise
leadership at the District Building is
apparent (although we do not feel any
Legislative reorganization is needed to
bring this about), and review of ad-
ministrative policies also is in order.
But even these matters are difficult to
analyze without clear understanding
of exactly what 1t is that urban renewal
is trying to accomplish.

PiecemeoI Technique

One of the frequent and valid criti-
cismS of the Federal tax structure is
that, like Topsy, it has "just growed."
Piecemeal expansion, usually justified
on grounds of emergency need and
often labelled as temporary, has become
permanent-or seemingly so.
Not so often mentioned, or perhaps
realized is the fact that this piecemeal
technique has been applied in reverse
that there is a steady nibbling away
through legislation designed to give
relief only to special segment Of the
economy or to some limited group of
taxpayers, individual or corporate In
the long run, this process tends to OBJ
struct genuine tax reform and the pros
poets for tax relief where it is most
needed and where 1t would be most
useful.
In the course of a recent speech,
Undersecretary of Treasury Scribner
mentioned an example of this technique
at work in pointing out that piece-by-
piece reduction of excise taxes since 1854
has reduced annual revenues by more
than three-quarters of billion dollars
the same amount that would have
been lost If, as an alternative, the indi-
vidual income tax schedule had been
revised to set the top bracket at so per
cent instead of the current 81 per cent.
Mr.. Scribner did not suggest that all
excise tax reductions necessarily have
been unwarranted, or that without them
there would have been such far-reaching
individual income tax relief. He has,
however, given point to his argument
that the Treasury Department is justi-
fied in its concern over the ever increas-
ing pressure for special relief measures
at the price of preventing or postponing
general relief. Perhaps new Congress
can view tax revision in this broader
perspective.

Teen-Age CriminoIity

In releasing the FBI.s Uniform
Crime Reports for 1859, FBI Director
Hoover expressed justified concern over
}the sharp increase" in the number Of
serious crimes committed by juveniles.
There was disproportionate rise In
youthful lawlessness, considering the
relative numbers Of juveniles and adults.
The crime rate among youth greatly
exceeded that among the older Offenders.
Mr.. Hoover said the diSproportionate
crime figures for persons under 18 is
"the most alarming aspect of Americas
crime problem"
The combined reports, sent in by
police, juvenile courts and other agen-
cies, showed that there has been a 100
per cent increase in juvenile crimes
since 1948, when postwar delinquency
was at low ebb Comparatively, in
that same period adult crimes rose only
II per cent. Delinquency increased at
rate 2Ka times that of the youth popula-
tion rise. Particularly alarming was
the large percentage Of teen-agerS ar
rested for major crimes, including those
in which violence was used. For ex-
ample, 26 per cent of the hold-ups and
other robberieS last year we're committed
by persons under 49, This age group
also accounted for So per cent of the
burglaries, 49 per cent of the larcenies
and "a per cent of the automobile thefts.
These statistics are anything but
drab. They constitute challenge not
only to police, juvenile courts and law
enforcement authorities generally but
to parents, guardians and others re-

country'S need for the best

fact that 40 million people

mean that the wrong man

100 Years Ago

There was considerable fer
vor in this area a century ago
for a brand new political
group known as the Constitu-
tional Union Party. This was
a party of noble intentions
and great respectability and
it was destined to poll a Siz-
able vote of protest against
breaking up the Union. The
fourth entry in the political
race of 1860, it had as stand
ard-bearers John Bell Of
Tennessee and Edward Ev-
erett of Massachusetts. The
Constitutional Unionists re-
fused to make slavery the big
issue. They announced some
what archly that they be-
lieved in mo political prin-
ciple other than the Consti-
tuition of the country, the
Union Of the States and the
enforcement of the laws"

Bell and Everett, but the
most impressive in the Wash
