Federal City Center

If bigneSS alone were the answer,
the newly expanded plans for the bus
terminal commercial center project in
downtown Washington would solve all
the problems of this ambitious project.
Unfortunately, however, a solution to its
basic dilemma appears to be as elusive
now as ever.
The crux of the problem is this:
Financing for the proposed Federal City
Center is in sight only If its sponsors,
in advance, can line up tenants to
occupy a large amount of commercial
space. Thus far, such efforts have been
directed entirely at the Federal Govern
ment And the Government, If indeed
it is interested in the space, has been
totally unwilling to make any advance
commitment for it. AS possible alter
native, the business leaders who are
sponsoring the project are talking about
leasing the Space-Some 3 million square
fleet Of ito major industries for per-
manent trade exhibit, in which consider
able interest was stimulated here when
Washington was being considered for
the Worlds Fair. This at least offers
gltmmer of new hope, and it is well
that it will be explored further.
In their apparent desire to make the
center as attractive as possible, however,
the sponsors now have expanded its con-
cept to include everything but the
kitchen stove. Aside from the bus ter
minal and the million square feet of
commercial space, its new design in
cludeS 14,000-seat auditorium for con-
ventions, 1,000-room hotel, 1000 park
ing spaces and a heliport-all spread
over five city blocks.
Not single one of these facilities
would be out Of place in Washington.
Every one is desirable. But whether
they all belong under one roof, and
whether this is the right location for
many Of them, is highly questionable.
We do not believe these questions can
be answered with any certainty, further
more, until completion of the expensive
program now under way to plan a re-
vitalization of the entire downtown buSi-
ness area. The problems of traffic, park
ing and land use which are posed by
the terminal project all are essential
parts Of the study, and it would be a
serious mistake to reach any firm con-
cluSions about them until all the facts
are available.
The eagerneSS of the bus terminal
sponsors to proceed is entirely under
standable But until it's role in the total
downtown development picture can be
more accurately assessed, the Commits
sioners are hardly in position to extend
the official Endorsement that has been
requested.

Chostised Students

1t is encouraging to hear that the
Zengakuren, Japan's extreme left-wing
student federation, has just suffered a
considerable loss of face At any rate,
some 300 of it's members have run into
embarrassing trouble with the miners
who have been on strike in Omuta, not
far from Tokyo.
Thus, invading Omuta for the osten-
sible purpose of helping" these miners,
and in order ito register a complaint
against police violence" the students

the supporting role they played in
the recent Communicated riots against
President Eisenhower's visit-deliber-
ately precipitated disorders in which
scores of persons were injured. Where

with causing trouble only to serve their
own sinister, Red-inspired ends, and

This adds up to good chaStisement.
1t does not mean, of course, that the
Zengakuren will behave itself from now
on, but it suggests that Japan'S undisci-
plined students might become much less
obstreperous If grown-up Japanese would
begin dealing with them as firmly as
have Omutas miners.

Briqhter View in Rome

If careful selection, experience and
strength of personalities are enough, the
new Italian government of Premier
Amintore Fanfani promises his country
its most stable administration in many
years. Not only Italy, but its allies and
Well-WiShers in the non Communist
world, must hope that this is so for
nation that has had more than score
Of governments in less than fifteen years
For Mr.. Fanfani, this will be his
third term as first minister of the post
war republic. In his second tenure, in
1957-58, he held the reins for nearly
fifteen months - considerably longer
than the average in recent years. He
has, on this occasion, chosen cautiously
in picking cabinet balanced among all
factions Of the dominant Christian
Democratic Party and including three
former premierS in key posts. These are:
Antonio Segni as Foreign Minister, a
portfolio he held in the outgoing cabinet
of Premier Tambroni; Mario Scelba, the
avowed Enemy No. /" of Italian Com
munistS, as Minister of the Interior, and
Giuseppe Pella as Minister of the
Budget. While all of the cabinet Offices
are assigned to Christian Democrats, Mr.
Fanfani also obtained approval of his
choices from three small center parties
the Democratic Socialists, Liberals
and Republicans-to assure parliament
ary acceptance.
In large measure, the apparent
strength of the Fanfani lineup is a
direct answer to intensified Communist
activity in Italy. Turning to the pattern
of street rioting and mob violence which
they have employed recently with some
success in other countries, the Commu-
niSts played their part in destroying
confidence in the Tambroni government.
In doing so, however, they displayed
more openly their potential for trouble
making and increased the awareness of
center and moderately right political
factions that united front should be

Mexican Assurances

The Mexican government has re-
Sponded promptly and reasSuringly to
calm fears that sympathizers with Cas-
tro's revolutionary Cuban regime will be
permitted to damage Mexico's friendly
relations with the United States.
Aroused by recent anti-Yankee
demonstrations by student groups,
smaller but in the pattern of recent
Communicated rioting in Japan, the
government has banned all parades and
assemblies except by permit. In addition
government spokesmen have taken steps
to curtail pro-leftist propaganda and to
assure representatives of the North
American business community in Mexico
that there is no threat to continued
orderly commercial relations.
Aside from disapproval of the politi-
cal feelings expressed by those attacking
the United States, Mexican authorities
are concerned with the effect already
noted on the heavy American tourist
trade south of the border. In 1859, for
the first time, Mexico became the num-
Der one country in the travel parade of
United States citizens. Our own De-
partment of Commerce estimated Amer
ican tourist expenditures in Mexico in
1859 at $345 million, not counting trans
portation outlays, making tourism one
of the country's biggest dollar earners.
There has been sharp drop in this
rate in recent weeks.
Actually, there seems little reason
to fear that the backwaSh of the Cuban
mess will seriously disturb political and
economic relations which are of great
mutual advantage to Mexico and the
United States. The stakes are large for
both, fact which is recognized in
Washington and Mexico City alike.

Trouble at the Anchors

Senator Kennedy Is not dealing in
f1attering exaggerations in his reference
to New York and California as anchor
States" in this years presidential race.
With As and 80 electoral votes, respec-
lively, or n together, these pivot States
OF the East and West represent a large
chunk Of the 269 such votes needed to
capture the White House. Each will be
courted intensively.
For the Democrats, the task con-
tainS some built-in problems of family
factionalism in each case. In New York,
particularly, it is of long standing, per-
Sonally bitter and not asSuredly subject
to reSolution-either by persuasion or by
knocking heads together. State Chair
man Michael Prendergast and Tammany
Chieftain Carmine DeSapio are in one
camp. An inSurgent faction headed by
former Senator Herbert Lehman, plus
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and former Air
Force Secretary Thomas Finletter, oper-
ates in another. Somewhere in between
are Mayor Wagner of New York City,
former Governor Averell Hartman and
State Controller Arthur Levitt. And out
side Democratic ranks, but perhaps eS-
Sential to a Democratic victory in the
State, is the thus far uncommitted Lib
eral Party-a New York operation only
believed friendly to Senator Kennedy
but less than pleased with Senator John
son of Texas as his running mate.
Mr.. Kennedy has found this week
that the hand of friendship in Hyannis
Port does not assure harmony in New
York State. If Mr. PrendergaSt does not
like Citizens for Kennedy operation by
Mr.. Lehman ct al, neither does he warm
up to Mayor Wagner or Mr.. Levitt as
"co-ordinatorS" in divided campaign
effort. Only Mr.. PrendergaSt, the chair
man promises grimly, will run the State
organization and he does not intend to
have "itS brains knocked out" by some
other Democratic outfit. Currently,
brother Bobby Kennedy is trying to
work out happy family" settlement.
Perhaps somewhat less bitter, but
nonetheless threatening to Democratic
chances, is the party division in Cali
fornia where Governor Pat Brown is
suffering from decline in prestige and
hard core of party followers remains
faithful to Adlai Stevenson. 1t has been
announced that Mr.. Stevenson will cam
paign for the Kennedy johnson ticket
in the Golden State and another Ken
nedy brother, Ted, already is on fence
mending duty there.
Intra-party strife is not a Demo-
cratic monopoly. But in the anchor
States" they have couple of king-sized
family feuds that could have great bear
ing on the political story in November.

general must rely upon sub

detail of the planning in the

crete in some places only

Low-CoIiber Movies

Congratulations to Jay
Carmody for his recent Sum-
day article on the degradation
Of present day movies. It's
a real joy to hear someone
publicly criticize Hollywood
for the exclusive use Of sex
delinquency and sinful lust
as plots for movies.
Movies used to be a med
ium Of entertainment for
all ages. The present-day
gloriflcation and portrayals
Of sinful living which often
goes unpunished are a dan
gerous influence on teenagers
who see only the glorified
pleasure and the romantic
stars and not the wrong
doing. AS for adult viewing,
it's time we insisted that our
intelligence and religious be-
liefs be praised instead of
insulted. We don't even have
a choice in good or bad films
they're all the same type
plots lately-broken homes,
sinful suburbia, city rat-race
and general depravity of
human beings.
With plots of this nature,
what difference does it make
whether a fine actor or actress
is the star performer? The
old movies on television may
sometimes seem corny but at
least they're decent enter
tainment, and we can still see
fine acting. Let's have more
movies like the older films
Of a few years ago.

Educators Policy

James M. Nabrit, Jr., newly
elected president of Howard
University, is already evil
dencing the quality of true
greatness. In urging his ad-
ministrators to teach at least
one class, he shows awareness
Of the fact that in the entire
education setup, the most
meaningful activity is teach
ing.
Along with the multiple
growth of administrative
staff and function in public
and private schools has de-
veloped, it would appear, a
tendency to depreciate teach
ing. In fact, there is wide
spread belief that to become
an administrator is Ito go
up," and to remain a teacher,
however excellent, is merely
to move at an ambitionless
amble.
Such fallacious thinking
fails to realize that teaching
and administration are simply
two aspects of the same thing
and are of equal Importance.
This fallacy gains strongest
support from the unjuStifia-
bly, wide gap between teach
ers' and administrators sal
aries.
If the chief aim of school
is the education of the child,
then the most important area
and most sensitive point in
the whole scheme is where
the student and teacher meet.
DR.. Nabrit's philosophy could
be copied with profit by other
school heads.
