Senator J. Allen Frear (D-DeD
caused a minor sensation on the
floor of the U. S. Senate late last
Friday night when he proposed the
removal of a Delaware project
from the $1,5OO,OOO pork barrel
rivers and harbors bill.
The bill, authorizing flood con-
troll and navigation projects
throughout the country, contains
pet projects of most members of
Congress and it is a rarity for a
senator to object to a project in
his own state.

Scoops Scoop

Senator Henry M. Jackson, who also
serves as Democratic National Chair
man, Is known to his colleagues as
Scoop" We have often wondered why,
and now we know. 1t is not because he
delivered newspapers as a boy, but
rather because he has highly developed
instinct for the scoop, or exclusive story
so exclusive in this instance that it
simply isn't true.
Senator Jackson told reporters this
week that Vice President Nixon is i'm
putting "disloyalty or lack or patriotism"
to Senator Kennedy And he added that
the Vice Presidents mask of reSpecta-
bility is beginning to Slip"
The Jackson charge Is a piece of
monumental nonsense. Whether one
thinks it is proper or improper for SEN
ator Kennedy to criticize administra-
tion foreign policy while Mr. Khrushchev
is in the country-and we think 1t is
proper-it is prepoSterous to squeeze
from Mr. Nixon'S remarks on this point
an imputation of disloyalty to Senator
Kennedy. Senator Jackson ought to
know better and we think he does. Let's
hope that this was his first and last
scoop" of the campaign.

Realistic Center Plan

Off1cials charged with the RESPONSE
bility of raising $75 million for the
authorized National Cultural Center
here are being realistic when they pro-
pose that construction start before all
the money is in hand. Congress, in
effect, has set 1868 deadline for
report on the progress of the fund drive
"a report that is supposed to show that
the full amount can be obtained within
reasonable period. Even the more
optimistic promoters of the undertaking
do not expect that the goal will have
been reached within the next three
years. But If half or nearly half of the
sum sought is available by then, it would
seem wise to begin construction of at
least part of the multi-purpose struc-
ture. ... ....
A plan under consideration calls for
building the huge outer shell of the
center and at least one of the major
auditoriumS which 1t will house. Under
the approved design, there would be
three main halls, two smaller auditor
iums, a grand salon and underground
parking facilities. The main halls would
be for opera, the theater and sympho-
nies. The center will be in Foggy Bottom,
overlooking the Potomac River
A national committee is organizing
a Nationwide campaign to finance the
center by popular subscription. Special
appeals for financial support will be
made to wealthy patrons of the arts, to
foundations and to corporations. If
actual construction of the center were
under way, interest undoubtedly would
be stimulated and raising of the money
would be made easier. However, enough
money should be available to insure that
the preliminary construction can be
carried to a point that will preclude
creation of an eyesore, pending compile
tion of the fund drive.

Not Just Scare Talk

Officials responsible for assuring the
Washington Metropolitan Area of an
adequate supply of water under all
conditions cannot fairly be accused of
indulging in "scare TALK when they
envision possibly dry Potomac unless
preventive measures are taken soon.
Army engineers base their predictions
of serious water shortages by 1875 on
careful studies and calculations in con-
nection with their current survey of
the river.
The studies have shown that con-
sumption of water is rapidly increasing,
taxing the rivers capacity in times of
drought. BY 1875, it is said, long
drought actually could cause the Poto-
mac to dry up in the Washington area.
The catastrophe consequences of such
a development are self evident.
The engineers, even before compile

POAU Policy

Several letters appearing elsewhere
on this page take exception to an article
in The Star of September % dealing
with the activities of ProteStants and
Other Americans United for Separation
of Church and State.
The article was intended to show
the POAU is one source of religious
pamphlets which have appeared in this
campaign, but that the organization has
openly engaged in this kind of activity
for some 13 years and, therefore, cannot
be considered to be result of Senator
Kennedy's nomination. It was not our
purpose to indicate any Endorsement Of
POAU policy.

the Potomac watershed, assert that the
only insurance against such an emery
ency would be costly system of i'm
pounding dams and reservoirs at certain
locations on the upper river. These dams
and reservoirs are certain to require
many acres of land now used for recrea-
ton, agriculture, residential or COM
mercial purposes. But the Army's ex-
perts say there is no practicable alterna-
tive. Needless to say, in planning such
an impounding and storage system, how
ever, every effort should be made to
destroy a minimum of private and
public properties.

Magical Courier

CuriouSly enough, despite all expec-
tations to the contrary, the Russians
have staged no new spectacular in the
high heavens to celebrate the third an
niverSary of the Space Age, which began
with the launching of their Sputnik l.
Our own country, however, has marked
the event in a genuinely impressive
manner. It has done so by placing in
orbit 500-pound satellite full of great
promise in the field of communications.
Called Courier I-B, this magical
vehicle-Which has been sent up by the
Army in cooperation with the Air Force
measures 81 inches in diameter and is
surfaced with some 10000 solar cells. AS
1t orbits at attitudes ranging from $50 to
755 miles, these cells are supplying it
with enough sunpower to enable it con-
tinuously to receive and transmit wide
variety of voice and teletype messages
Gncluding one from the President to the
U. NJ, and news dispatch filed by The
Starr with astonishing speed and eff
cheney.
A measure of Couriers extraordinary
capabilities and potentialities is the fact
that although its payload Of electronic
Instrumentation weighs only 800 pounds,
it can receive from the earth $4,000
words a minute during the four or five
minutes available as it passes within
range of the two ground stations keeping
in touch with 1t. Further than that, it
has the capacity of simultaneously send
ing back to earth the same number of
words at the same rate of speed. All told,
its estimated daily merchandising ability
amounts to over 3.5 million.
Yet Courier is merely the expert
mental precursor of something much
bigger and better to come in a revolu-
tionary communications system that is
expected to be in full operation in the
relatively near future. AS enviSioned by
the American experts now working on
1t, the system ("Project Advent") will
involve the use of three or more satel-
liteS in fixed orbits about $4,000 miles
above the equator. This arrangement,
once it is in effective operation, is likely
to have only incidental military Signifi-
canoe; its chief value, according to its
developers, is that it will bring about
far-reaching advances in the field of
regular communications, laying the
groundwork even for global televiSion.
All this serves as further evidence
that the United States, although the
thrust power of its rockets is not yet
equal to RuSsia'S, is making highly signi-
ficant progress in space. The race, in
short, is still on, and If our country lagS
behind in some phases of it (such as the
orbiting of multi-ton payloads), there
can be no doubt that it leads in others
and that it will continue to gain ground
and become second to none If it does
everything that needs to be done.

SnoIIer-but Still Surplus

Revised budget estimates for the
current fiscal year, ending next June 80,
are substantially less cheering than the
original figures of last January. They in
dicate, in brief, years surplus of $l.1
billion instead of the $4.2 billion optimis-
tically projected nearly nine months ago.
But if this 'loSs" of $31 billion
prompts regret, it is likewise appropriate
to- take note of the reasons. The greatest
variance from January estimates shows
up on the revenue side, down from a
hoped-for $84 billion to a currently ex-
pected $81.5 billion. Two instances Of
over-optimiSm are primarily responsible
for this miScalculation. Along with
many other economic forecasters, Gov
ernment experts anticipated that the
soaring sixties" would begin with rec
ord corporation profits and tax yield in
calendar 1860. 1t has not proved so,
particularly during the second and third
quarters, and even a predicted fourth
quarter upSurge in business now figures
out to revenue yield 50 billion below
the January estimate but still equal to
the record fiscal 1860 tax take of $21.5
billion. The second false assumption,
and generally recognized as such in the
beginning, was that Congress would heed
President Eisenhowers request for in
creased postal rates to yield an addi-
tional 1854 million.
On the spending side, the net change
from January is an increase of $500 mil
lion-with various savings more than
offset by higher spending authorized by
Congress in several categories, plus
$746-million Federal pay raise enacted
over the Presidents veto.
Aside from the normal economic un-
certainties inherent in eight more
months of fiscal year, the fact that
there will be change of administra-
tions In January further endangers to-
days estimates. Mr.. Eisenhower will
present fiscal 1862 budget before he
leaves office, but his successor and new
Congress will be in position to make or
break present prospects of 1861 sur
plus. We hope the choice will not be to
unleash greater spending, wipe out the
estimated surplus, and turn deliberately
to imitation breeding deficit financing.
The rewards of any such policy would be
far less cheering in the long run than
those implicit in the revised balance
sheet now presented -' .rt.' ..-

even solicit If necessary
an explanation of the feelings
of Catholics toward this
negative group.
Regardless Of their high
sounding name, the core of
the POAU is truly a group of
professional bigots, with at
least 13 years experience.
Any thinking man can just
read the titles of the POAU
pamphlets and realize that
they peddle hatred. Such
titles as How the Roman
Catholic Church Would
Change the Constitution"
and, IF the United States
Becomes 81 Per Cent Catho-
lie" are examples. These are
documents based on false
premises, containing false
statements and drawing false
conclusions designed to de-
fame over 20 per cent of the
American people. Can you
imagine the effect of sending
this type of rot to most of the
Protestant clergymen in the
United States each month?
These unfortunate, mis-
guided men should turn their
efforts to building rather
than destroying: to teaching
love rather than hatred. They
should attempt to unite their
efforts with other God-fear-
ing men in fighting the forces
of evil with Christian love.

national power. Democratic
President Roosevelt granted
recognition to Communist
Russia although preceding
Republican Presidents had
steadfastly refused to do so.
The memory and spectacle
of blood purges, political
murders and exile to Siberia
were ever present at the time.
Then, during the war, Demo-
crat Roosevelt sent train
loads and boat loads of NUM-
tions and supplies to Russia
through the Middle East.
We are now called upon to
choose a President to deal
with the Russians at a time
when they are infinitely
stronger and more belliger-
ent than ever before. Do we
want another Democrat for
the job? think not.

The Presidents refusal to
meet Mr.. Khrushchev should
be considered the most i'm
portant achievement in the
present administrations for
eign policy. It is worth re-
calling that it took Great
Britain and France only six
years to understand that
there was no sense to talk
with Hitler as his promises
were worthless. More than a
quarter Of a century has
passed since the recognition
of the U. s. S. r. by this
country. At last our President
has realized that Soviet
dictator is unworthy of
negotiation.
1t should, however, be
mentioned that U. S. S. R.
was expelled from the League
of Nations in 1889 when it
attacked Finland. But this
was soon ignored. When Nazi
Germany attacked its former
ally, the U. S. S. r. became
an ally of the Western de-
mocracies on the concept
that the enemy of our enemy
is our friend.
Let us hone that the next
administration will not re-
verse the Presidents decision.
1t would be against common
sense to discuss with our
enemy such matters as dis
armament when we know at
the same time. from his own
announcements, as made
during his state visit to
Austria a few months ago, that
his main goal is to see during
his lifetime the red banner
waving over the whole world.

much the same line as Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
indeed, playing his game.
Yet the remarks made by
Senator Kennedy and by
Adlai Stevenson soon after
the blowup Of the abortive
Summit Conference in Paris
early this year, In criticism of
President Eisenhower's stand,
were harshly criticized in
many quarters, some of them
Democratic. Former Demo-
cratic National Chairman
and Postmaster General
James A. Farley called Mr..
Stevenson's Chicago address
in which he, Mr.. Stevenson,
said that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration had given the
Soviet a "sledge hammer and
a crowbar" to wreck the Sum-
nit Conference a grave mis-
take.
Smear Tactic
What does the Democratic
National Chairman - and
Senator Kennedy-expect Mr..
Nixon to do when Senator
Kennedy and other Demo-
cratic spokesmen lash out at
the conduct of foreign affairs
by President Eisenhower?
Just twiddle his thumbs and
let it go at that? Yet when
the Vice President lashes
back in support of Mr.. Eisen-
hower-with reasoned argu-
ments in support of the
foreign policy-they begin
again the old smear campaign.
How low will they drag this
campaign in an effort to
defeat Mr.. Nixon?
Mr.. Nixon has again and
again expressed the opinion
that Senator Kennedy is
patriotic. He has suggested
that it would be in the inter-
ests Of the American people
If Senator Kennedy does not
attack President Eisenhower
and picture the United States
as weak, economically and
militarily, while Premier
Khrushchev is both attacking
the President and boasting Of
Russia's strength at the U. N.
For that Mr.. Nixon is now
accused of suggesting that
Senator Kennedy is disloyal.
Republican National Chair
man Thruston Morton, reply
ing to his Democratic coun-
terpart, had this to say: The
Democrats are trying to cover
up Senator Kennedy's prime
blunder of the campaign -
his statement that he would
apologize to Khrushchev Gor
the U-2 flightS)-by a smear
campaign directed a 6 ain S t
Nixon" He insisted the smear
campaign will not work"
In justice to Senator Ken
nedy, it should be said that
his original comment after
the Summit breakup in Paris
was that the President
might" have apologized to
the Russian in order to save
the conference. Also, Senator
Kennedy has gone along with
President Eisenhower's re-
fusal of the last few days to
meet with Mr.. Khrushchev at
this time.
Senator Jackson's effort to
revive the old charge that Mr..
Nixon charges the Democrats
with disloyalty is a desperate
attempt to lead Democrats
supporting Mr.. Nixon back
into the Kennedy fold.

Your editorial of Septem-
ber 80 states regarding Khru-
shchev'S antics at the q. N.
There remains, of course,
the possibility that this was
not an act, that this was a
reflection Of the real Khru-
shchev." I submit that this is
not a possibility, but a real
fact-that we must come to
the realization. though per-
haps reluctantly, that this
man is an absolute ego
maniac. Like Hitler in many
ways, he is getting worse by
the minute-the more defeats
he receives. the more bel
ligerent, irresponsible and
dangerous he becomes (and
vice verSa).
We are seeing the real Mr..
K. An aStounded world
has watched him bang his
fists on the table, wildly
stand up and shout, shake
his fists. etc, at a place
where respectability and di-
plomacy are held in the high
est esteem-the U.N.
It's about time America,
and especially the United
States State Department,
started acting on the premise
that Mr.. K, like Hitler, is
not a sane man. In fact it
might be advisable for our
Government to solicit advice
from competent psychiatrists
as to how to handle and best
take advantage of ks men,
tai illness.
Let's stop assuming that
everything Khrushchev does
has a cunning and willy pur-
pose-that he is really fol-
lowing some sort of machia-
velian master plan. Let's face
the obvious facts: his bull
in-a-china-shop antics, his
attacks on Hammarskjold
and the U. N. itself, his ag-
gressive Congo policy, the
custer of his diplomats"
from that country-all these
acts, to mention only a recent
few. are only hurting him
tremendously.

1t may be providential that
Khrushchev comes to the
United States while we are
engaged in a presidential
campaign. for it serves to
remind us that it was a
Democratic President who
gave the Russian Communists
their biggest boost into inter-
