Arn1inq the Democrats

In finally refusing to make public
the much-diScuSSed report on our
prestige abroad the White House pre-
Sumably has chosen what it considers
to be the lesser Of two evils. AT the
same time, however, it has armed the
Democrats with weapon which they
can and will use to belabor Mr.. Nixon
during the remainder of this campaign.
This report may in fact be, as White
House Press Secretary Hagerty says, IAN
internal, low-level staff paper similar
to many others that are periodically
prepared by staff elements within the
United States Information Agency for
STAFF USE" There probably is nothing
OF any great significance in it.
II this paper is as insignificant as
Mr. Hagerty'S comments suggest, how
ever, why has it been stamped secret
and put under lock and key for the
duration? The off1cial explanation, we
suppose, will be, that to release it under
demand from congressional committees
would be to infringe on the area of
executive privilege. Whether or not this
explanation is publicly acceptable, it is
sound one and amply backed by prece-
dent. If reports designed to assist those
charged with making executive deci-
SionS are to become public property on
the demand of congressional commit
tees, the value of such reportS-if not
the reports themSelves-would cease.
A good many people will think
there is something in the report, or
staff paper, or whatever it is, which
tends to bear out Senator Kennedys
charges of diminished prestige. Ger
tainly the Democratic orators will try
to persuade the voters that this is the
case, and we think their efforts will
meet with some success. We also think
that If Mr.. Kennedy were In the White
House, he would be as firm in protecting
executive privilege as the long line Of his
predecessors have been. To abandon
the doctrine Of executive privilege is to
invite chaos in the discharge of execu-
tive responsibility.

Growth of a Smear

Senator Henry M. Scoop" Jackson,
who doubles in brass as chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
has set what surely must be a new
record in the guilt-by association de-
partment But the genial Senator from
Washington shouldn't be blamed too
much. He's just not in position to
know what he's talking about.
It all began when Mrs. Styles
Bridges, wife of the Senator from New
Hampshire, made speech to a Repub-
hcan women'S club in her home State.

In With the New

Well, Mr.. Calvin Griflth at long
last has made his move to the land of
mAk and honey, where money grows on
trees. And while it never is pleasant to
be Tilted, his departure is not likely to
cause unrestrained weeping or tearing
ofshair.
: Our emotions are mixed. Mr.. Grit
nth Tor several years now has made no
secret OF his desire to desert the Nations
Capital, sentiment to which the city
could hardly be e'eXpected to respond with
warmth and friendship. Now that the
thing has happened, however, a Wash
1ngton ball club without a Grifith is
suddenly hard to imagine. It is the
good memories that keep coming back.
And 1t will seem strange indeed not to
revel next spring in the tape-meaSure
homerS Of Harmon Killebrew, the artis-
try Of Canilo PaScual and the bright
promise Of Battey, Ramos, Allison and
company. There is touch of irony,
too, IN the fact that the separation
should take place just as the Senators
were riding new-found crest of pop
ularity.
Still, one must be hopeful. At least
we will have an American League team
next April. That is the important thing,
and who knowS-maybe the long years
Of famine really will come to an end.
a.. The new owner may already have
been Selected-a man described only as
capable, able and well-f1nanced." Those
are pretty good qualifications, and the
job now is to recruit a group Of new
Senators 1--WE trust that nickname viii be
retained) upon whom, at least, a good
team can be built.
; In one important respect, the
changeover comes at propitiouS time.
Our fine new stadium on the AI1acoStia
banks, with its $4,000 seats for baseball,
VIII be ready for the new team year
after next, and the new owner is likely
to show more enthusiasm than Mr.. Grit
fifth did for the crosS-town move. In
the meantime, of course, the 1861 sea-
SOP will continue as usual at Grifith
Stadium.
: AS to players, there are no illusions
that the eight other clubs of the league
win surrender any Mickey Mantles to
the new Washington and Los Angeles
clubs. Since the team also will need a
new manager, however, why not cali on
Casey Stengel? We can think of no one
better equipped than or Case to enlist
the support of the fans and whip a new
club into shape. Nor can anyone deny
that he would lend a touch of stability,
not to mention class, to our Still-to-be
determined fledglings.

in the official journal of the
United States Air Force
Academy.
The force would fly low.
It's whereabouts always would

what was left of it-would

Details of Proposal
But with the airborne
fleet, the Air University's
journal points out, a retalia-
tory force capable of launch
ing nuclear weapons would
always be ready, undamaged,
and on the alert. 1t might
Immediately cause almost as
much damage to the enemy as
had been done to its own
country.
There would be no need of
getting aircraft in the air
from damaged fields. They
would be there already, re-
gardleSS of the time the at
tack took place. The force
would proceed Immediately
over enemy territory on its
own initiative.
The proposal is outlined
by 1t. Col. Donald F.. Martin
of Air Force Headquarters.
It would, he admits, be very
expensive, but hardly more
so than other proposed de-
tense measures. 1t would re-
quire, the proposal points out,
essentially 40 aircraft carry
ing at least 200 rocket-borne
nuclear missiles in the air at
all times-enough to destroy
any other country. The neces-
Sary reserve planes would
bring the required number
to about 100.

THE PASSING SCENE.
Nixon Lacking Full Party Support
BY RALPH McGILL

NEW YORK.-Putting an
ear here to the political earth,
Is like listening to a seashell.
There is a confused, distant
roaring, as If far away a vast
crowd was greeting a candi-
date. But, If one listens closely
there are a few sounds dis
tinct enough to be translated.
Jack Kennedy Is a firm
contender. Only the partisan
will now predict victory. But
there are notes in the great
disharmony of partisanship
which should not be over
looked. Why, for example,
did President Eisenhower, in
a statement which could
come only from a politically
innocent man, last week pub
licly warn his party against
being gloomy? It could have
come only because the Presi-
dent had been hearing what
reporters travelling with both
candidates began to hear at
least a week before. G. o. p.
leaders are concerned. Some
are peSsimistic.
Vice President Nixon's skill
in debate has not knocked his
opponent out of contention.
Indeed, television helped in
troduce to the Nation a lively,
confident, well-informed man.
If he did not win the de-
bates. he held his own. 1t
was this performance which
created some of the G. o. P.
concern and dismay. Senator
Kennedy had not been de-
molished. He was very much
in evidence.
Mr.. Nixon may yet hold a
slight edge. But the facts
seem to be that he has not
inspired a stampede. There
are certain basic party rea-
sons for this.
Root Of Trouble
Mr.. Nixon Is not receiving
the party support he ex-
pected.
This, after three weeks Of
rather close observation,
seems to be at the root of the
G. o. P. failure to move
demonstrably far ahead. Mr..
Nixon is not receiving all-out
support.
The extreme right wing Of
the Republican Party is be-
coming vocal in its distaste
for Mr.. Nixon as well as
Senator Kennedy. Now and
then, in seeking to analyze
this detection from the Vice
President, one recalls the
fervor Of the Chicago con-
vention for Senator Gold
water. These persons went
back home pledged, like the
the Senator, to stay with the
party. But no one seriously
suspects Senator Goldwater
indorSeS much of what his
nominee proposes. Some of
the Goldwater partiSans say
openly that what the Repub-
lican Party needs is to be
emphatically defeated. Only

as seven days with each
crew performing one alert
sortie every two months. We
would need eight crews for
each of the 40 aircraft, or
800 crews. Adding IS percent
to our required crew strength
for leave and duty not in
volving flying and ten per-
cent for normal crew up
grading load means an addi-
tional 80 crews. This brings
the total to 400 crews needed
to keep the 40 aircraft con-
tinuously airborne in combat
ready status.
Because of the long
periods on combat alert the
crew must be large. Perhaps
more than two men will Be
required, on the average, for
each crew position"
Because they would be
nuclear-powered, the report
points out, there would be no
need to come to the ground
for re-fueling. So very few
bases would be required. The
proposal is for one in the
Northeast and one, in the
Northwest, each capable of
500 Sorties per month. It has
already been determined that
the radioactive materials
from the nuclear-powered
craft would be of very little
danger to the cities flown
over.
Values Listed
The force would remain.
according to the proposal, at
relatively low attitudes, where
its location would be most
difficult for an enemy coun-
try to detect.
Admittedly, says Col. Mar
tin, "a force of the size de-
picted represents a large
dollar investment. However,
its low vulnerability and the
enemy's certain knowledge
that we possess the means to
utilize effectively our residual
capability (what we may
have left after the surprise
attack would certainly, add
immeasureably to our deter
renee. 1t would be an effec-
tive deterrent for years to
come. 1t would extend the
area of our strategic forces
immeasurably to our deter
and seas into the air. It,
would provide vital photo,
visual and electronic. recon-
to ensure proper
application of all our re-.
weapons"
Evening star., 1960-10-27

in such circumstances, they
say, can it be purged of its
liberal parts. Only defeat can
give their man the nomina-
ton in 1864.
. Even those right-wing pub
licationS which urge a vote
for Mr.. Nixon do not do so
because they agree with him.
Their support is based on the
lesser = Of two evils theory.
This is not very convincing to
a Republican conservative
who is trying to make up his
mind whether to cast, his
ballot for the Vice President
or stay at home.
No Sweep in New York
There also is the ines
capable fact that the agree
ment between Gov. Rookie
feller and Mr.. Nixon, which
led to the historic conven-
tion fight. to overthrow the
platform planks constructed
by conservative committees,
did not assure a COP.
triumph in New York State.
Indeed, almost every OBJ
server today thinks Senator
Kennedy has a lead. There
is open grumbling and
criticism of the part being
played by Gov. Rockefeller.
One hears. and there is al
most certainly some sub
stance to it. that the COP.
managers have now shifted
emphasis from New York to
Pennsylvania, making it the
key Eastern State, as Cali
fornia is in the West. If New
York is lost, then Pennsyl-
vania would be the natural
choice for a counter. It has
a considerable COP. regis
tration. 1t includes a State
organization which is at
work, and which has demon
strated, as late as 1858, that
it knows how to organize and
get out the vote. If this can
be done in areas outside
Philadelphia, then there is a
real chance to carry it. There
almost certainly is validity
in the reported plan to shift
emphasis. This is not to say
all hope has been abandoned
in New York. The President
is to appear there in a ma
tion-wide TV spectacular.
But this is aimed as much
at the Nation as the State.
But the Democrats every
where appear to be at work.
BY october of 1852 it was
possible to feel, and believe,
that Gen. Eisenhower had
pulled far ahead of Adlai
Stevenson. In 1856 there was
never any doubt. But, in
1860, Mr.. Nixon has not yet
pulled well ahead. There is
enough COP. gloom to cause
the President to make pub
lie mention of it. If it were
not for the religious issue,
a big Kennedy victory would
seem likely. But, as of now,
all one can say is that he
hasn't yet been left behind.

Compact
Lawns

When soils become so COM
pacted that moss thrives, it
is time to use an aerifler on
such spots so that air and
moisture will get to the plant
grass roots and the surface
will dry out enough to pre-
vent moss from growing
there.
Such compacted areas
usually result from down.
spouts dumping water on the
ground over period of years.
from youngsters running
across the lawn when it is
wet. or from people making
o foot path across the turf.
, Such compaction pounds
the soil particles so closely
together that air and water
do not reach the grass roots.
Then the grass becomes thin
and straggly.
Even the crabgrass does
not thrive in such an area.
Thus what little humus
there is in the soil that
might give it some degree c.
the desired structure soon
disappears.
Punch Deep Holes
Aerifying the soil is simply
using some tool which will
punch holes into the soil to a
depth of 4 to 6 inches deep.
There are a number of them
on the market. They range
in size from the small two
holer" hand tool that is in
expensive to the massive
tractor drawn job commonly
used by the golf courses. All
of these tools extract a core
of soil from the soil. These
cores are dropped on the turf
as the machine or tool is
used.
The holes, which are uSu-
ally spaced about 6 inches
apart. may be spaced closer
If the condition of the soil
warrants. Especially is this
common when the hand tool
is used.
Following the use of the
aerif1er it is common practice
9 to scatter peatmoss or sifted
compost over the area as we'll
as an application of fertilizer.
The area should then be
smoothed with the back of a
rake, If the soil pulverizes
easily the smoothing may be
done by dragging a door mat
over the area.
Some will want to mix
sand with the peatmoss and
fertilizer. This is desirable
although it will take a layer
of sand almost an inch thick
to attain appreciable effects.
However. for small areas
such as where a path has
been beaten across the turf
this may be be the best prac-
tice. At any rate the mate
rials spread on the area
should be mixed and leveled.
This, of course. fills the holes
from which the cores were
taken with unpacked mate
rials that will help put the
soil into a more favorable
condition for grass growth.
Fescues Suggested
If the stand of grass is too
thin, a very light re-seeding
may be desirable. although it
is now too late for the SOW
ing of bluegrass which is
such a slow germinator. Fes-
cues sown now might be far
enough along to withstand
summer heat when it ar
rives-usually by mid-May.
The soil should not be aeri-
fed after a crabgrass seed
killer has been applied since
the cores taken from the soil
will pull seed from below the
terminating zone up to where
1t can grow. Spread these
seed destroyers on the soil
after the aerification. They
can be spread as late as the
last week in April (this sea-
son is very late) but the aeri-
flying should be done as soon
as the soil is dry enough to
be worked. w. H. Y.
