WASHINGTON - The incoming
Kennedy Administration is certain
to expand greatly the federal gov.
ernment's saline water program
which is so important to the South
west.
Several times during the course
Of the campaign President-elect
john F. Kennedy told nationwide
audiences that he compared a
breakthrough in saline water re-
search to the successful launch
Ing of a man into space.
The saline water program not
only offers tremendous Opportuni-
ties for the American Southwest
to utilize more fully its limited
water resources but it also af-
fOrds the same benefit to the
whole world. About half of the
nations of the world have serious
water problems. And these prob
lens are growing because of the
tremendous indeed, almost can
cerous = growth of population on
this globe.
About the cheapest rate that sa-
line water is being produced in the
world today is between 70 cents
and $3.50 per LOCO gallons by the
Scottish firm of G. & Wier Ltd,
according to the Atlantic's recent
roundup on water problems This
is long way from the aim of the
Interior Department = to get the
cost of desalting and purefying
water down to 80 cents per 1000
gallons for drinking water and IL
cents for irrigation water. Inter-
iOr feels that this is about the
maximum price for desalted fresh
water if it is to be produced in
quantity. :. 49,.
Vice President elect Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas has attempted
to stake out a field for himself
as an expert On the saline water
problem. With the aid of the In
terror Department, Johnson rec
emily did a roundup On the SUBJ
ject of saline water for the New
York Times Magazine of Oct. 80.
Johnson made several points in
his article:
u BY 1875 the United States will
be using about 80 percent of its
total water supply.
p There are 60 nations and ter
ritorieS which are "WaterShOrt"
and where such a water shortage
is "a heavy brake upon economic
development and social progress.
81 With an estimated 800 mil.
lion cubic miles of saline water
in the seas plus an unknown
amount of both surface and un-
derground brackish water avail
able, the challenge presented by
the federal saline water program
is tremendous. There is no new
er or more vital frontier for any
Of us than the one We must cross
TO a lasting abundance of fresh
water for all mankind" Johnson
stated.
johnson was the original spOn-
sOr of "a bill to step up the saline
water program this year. The bill
passed the Senate. It did not pass
the House because. Chairman
Wayne N. Aspinall, D-Colo., of the
House Interior Committee wanted
to review the saline water pro-
gram in hearings first The bill
was written in the Interior De-
partment and it was cO-spOnsOred
by incoming Chairman Clinton P.
Anderson, D.-N.M., OF the Senate
Interior Committee, and by Colo
rado Senator'S Gordon Allott, r.,
and John A. Carroll, D. 1t provid-
ed for an additional $40 million
authorization to step up the saline
water research and development
program (now in effec) in the
years 1961-65, or until finally spent.

eign domination. Liberal reforms con-
templated under a constitution Of 1857
were assured only at the conclusion
of civil warfare in 1860-61, Offering an
other occasion for anniversary celebra-
ton during the Forthcoming year, but
the reform period itself was interrupted
by the 1864-67 reign of Emperor Max
milan, an Austrian archduke supported
by French troops. In 1910-11, providing
a third anniversary occasion this year,
came the revolution which paved the
way for Mexico's present constitution
and the years of political stability and
economic development which have fol-
lowed since.
Mexico'S government today is mid
dle-of- -the-road one, sensitive to some
of the differences that exist in the hemi-
sphere between the United States and
others of the Latin American commu-
nifty. Basically, however, it has been firm
in its commitment to the self-respecting
role of partnership with the demo-
cratic powers in general and the United
States in particular. Secretary of State
Herter will head our own representatives
joining in this triple anniversary cele-
bration in Mexico City, marking our
approval of a neighbor'S progress and

Slight Respite

Nothing, unfortunately, happened
during the recent session of Congress
that will take any of the sting out of
paying taxes to Uncle Sam. For some
million and half taxpayers, however,
a minor change in the tax laws at least
will Slightly reduce the paper work.
This will result from relaxation
of the much-abused requirement that
most taxpayers must submit, along with
their money, declaration of their esti-
mated tax for the coming year. Millions
of taxpayers must continue to do so, if
their taxes substantially exceed the
amounts regularly withheld through
payroll deductions. Starting next year,
however, those in several other cate
gories can forget the declarations, most
notably individuals and families whose
tax estimates do not exceed withholding
amounts by more than $40.
Declarations in these categories
served no purpose except to fill the
wastebaskets in Internal Revenue Of
fees, and it is some slight satisfaction
to know this has been recognized.

Edith Nourse Roqers

The death of Mrs Edith Nourse
Rogers, at 79, ends long and diStin-
guiShed career in the House of Rep
resentatives and removes from the
Washington scene one of it's most
gracious members.
During her 35 years in Congress
apparently world record for continu-
Gus legislative service by woman-Mrs.
Rogers was associated with many causes.
The foremost, however, and one for
which she will be remembered by thou
sands, was her championship of the
cause of war veterans. No one contrib
uted more to the writing of the CT Bill,
and in the hectic days after World War
II she was the prime mover of veterans
legislation as chairman of the House
Veterans Committee or as its ranking
minority member. Time and again Mrs.
Rogers demonstrated her effectiveness,
and she did so with smile and quiet
charm that will be missed.

No Fair Lady

For sheer unbridled fury, Donna
was as vicious and dangerous a hurri-
cane as has visited our shores in recent
years. In the wake of her Today ram
page are at least 1875 dead (moSt of them
in the Caribbean), thousands of home
less and property damage which may
exceed the billion-dollar mark. Now
that she is gone, however, the wonder
is that the East Coast did not suffer
far greater toll in human life, and the
fact that it did not is hopeful sign of
mans increasing ability to avoid-if
not control-theSe destructive forces of
nature.
Circling hundreds of miles to the
east of Puerto Rico, Navy and Air Force
planes watched Donna take form as
hurricane on September 2, and flashed
warnings to the Weather Bureau. From
then on, the course, speed and charac-
teristicS of the storm were never out of
sight. BY the time Donna slammed into
Florida, warnings already had brought
the evacuation of the low-lying Keys
and other danger points in the State.
Alerted by radar, the Weather Bureau
at Miami was prepared for Donna'S
swing northward Saturday night, and
established immediate telephone COM
munication with the bureau in Wash
ington to jointly chart its speed and
path. BY Sunday night, when the storm
was off the Carolinas, hurricane warn
ingS were posted all the way to New
Hampshire, giving the Coast Guard,
police, the Red Cross and civil defense
officials ample time to warn and evacu-
ate the endangered coastal regions.
The accuracy of the frequent
ligned in the past-was in sharp con-
trast to conditions even few years
ago, when Carol, Hazel and Diane
wreaked their havoc. It is true that
Donna, despite her general malevolence,
pursued a fairly constant course. But
the signs of progress were there, none
theleSS, and they attest graphically to
the wisdom of the hurricane-reSearch
program authorized by Congress a few
years ago, the relatively new radar-
tracing program and the well-co-
ordinated program of communications
to pass along the word of danger.
Thus, it is gratifying that Air Force
and Navy pilots once again today are
keeping weather eye on another storm
in the Caribbean. If this storm becomes
a hurricane, it will take its place in the
alphabetical list as Ethel, and all the
possible precautions are being taken.
Scientific advances Notwithstanding,
however, we would have named the next
one not Ethel, but Eliza, in the hope
that she would conduct herself more
along the lines of that fair lady, Miss
Doolittle.

Malicious MeddIinu'

The Security Council of the United
Nations has done good days work in
foiling the Kremlin's recent attempt to
acquire veto power over the deci-
SionS and actions of the Organization of
American States. Aimed at having the
Council adopt a resolution specifically
approving the OAS'S call for diplomatic
and economic sanctions against the
Dominican Republic, this brazen So
Wet maneuver-had it ucceeded-would
have set a precedent under which the
Russians could have claimed a right of
sorts to interfere at will in the affairs
of the Western Hemisphere.
Thus, as Ambassador Wadsworth,
our new chief delegate to the United
Nations, has declared "The Soviet re-
quest for Security Council action in this
case is bald effort to seek veto over
the operation of the inter-American
system. In our opinion, it is malicious
meddling." In reply, the Russian rep
reSentative has sought to justify the
Kremlin'S position by quoting some gen.
eralized language from Article So of
the U. N. Charter, but the Council has
voted to against him. Even so, he
has indicated that he will try again to
win his point at another appropriate
occasion"
Presumably, in the Soviet view, such
an occasion would arise if the OAS
adopted punitive measures against Cuba
for violating inter American treaties. In
that case, the Russian delegate could be
counted upon to resort to legalistic hair
splitting and noisy propaganda in the
U. N. in an effort to veto the action. BY
it's vote on the Dominican resolution,
however, the Security Council has made
clear that it is in no mood to help the
men of the Kremlin envenom our hem
iSpheric affairs with their dominance
seeking inf1ltration and Subversion.

Triple Anniversary

Mexico, our closest good neighbor
to the South, opens gala year on Fri
day. For it was $50 years ago on Sep
tember 16 that a parish priest, Padre
Miguel Hidalgo, first raised his voice on
behalf of freedom from rule by the
Spanish overlords who had controlled
that part of the New World for al
most three centuries Father Hidalgo
paid with his life for this revolutionary
zeal and it was in fact nearly eleven
years later, in 1921, that independence
from Spain was effectively proclaimed.
This was by no means an end to
Mexico's political troubles or even to for

called a gold bullion stand
ard" or a modified gold

is defined by presidential
proclamation as containing
1875 of a fine ounce of gold,
and the price of gold is fixed
at $35 per fine ounce. The
Secretary of the Treasury is
required to maintain all
forms of United States money
at parity with the gold dol

ment does not issue any gold
coin, does not permit the
boarding of gold, and issues
gold certificates only to Fed

to April 1888.

The Point Is Clear

While the testimony of two former
United States Ambassadors to Cuba
Arthur Gardner and Earl E. T. Smith
shed some interesting light on details
of our failure to prop up Batista while
tacitly encouraging Castro in his revo-
luton, it did not reveal much more of
deep significance than any other exer-
else in Monday morning quarterbacking.
But if any lessons are to be learned
from studying the background of error,
ex-AmbaSsador Smith did contribute
something worthy of note in these
passages from his testimony:
From personal experience I have
learned that many very influential sources
in the United States are dedicated to
overthrow of all relationships. They are
as opposed to Communist rightiSt
dictatorS, who are friendly to the United
States as to the Communist dictatorS
whom they regard as progressive. They
adopt doctrinaire attitude toward this
question which is so impractical that they
ultimately unwittingly defeat themselves.
If dictatorship versus democracy were the
only question that faced us. it would not
be difficult to make decision. However.
as we are in the midst of struggle for
survival, other considerations are peril
nent.
If the policy Of the United States is
to bring about the overthrow Of dictators
in the hope that democracy will follow -.
then we should intervene to whatever
extent is required to fulfill our purpose.
Otherwise we must wait for the normal
self-development of a people and not
assist revolution. And we must be pre-
pared to receive the criticism of support
ing friendly governments recognized by
the United States, although they may
have been labeled relationships. To make
my point more clear, let me say that we
helped to overthrow the BatiSta dicta-
torship which was pro-American only to
install the Castro dictatorship which is
pro-Russian.
Mr.. Smiths point is entirely clear
We trust that it will not receive further
clarification in the case of the Domini-
can Republic.

THE PASSING SCENE
Castro Gets q Role in Elections
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

tial contender, Senator John
F. Kennedy, for his part, set
of in the campaign with
wide and generalized and
mainly intellectual criticisms
Of Republican handling Of
foreign policy. These, what
ever their intrinsic merit or
lack Of it. did not seem to be
cutting too deeply into public
consciousness.
johnson Starts Something
But. a little while ago,
Senator Kennedy's tough
and able running mate as the
Democratic vice presidential
candidate, Senator Lyndon
johnson, began to go beyond
the generalities and to ham
mer at what has happened
in Cuba. The response from
audiences at first rather
surprised and then delighted
the Democratic managers.
Now, Senator Kennedy him
self is picking up the theme
and, at the moment, this is
about where the position
stands:
The Democrats believe
they have got hold of some
thing-the charge that a Re-
publican administration per-
mitted a pro Communist
bridgehead to rise within 80
miles of the American coast
line-which well might hit
the Republicans with violent
impact in November.
The Republicans reject the
theory that the thing could
at the very worst have all
that horsepower. All the
same, they are worried. The
Democrats are overStating;
but to some degree they have
undoubtedly got hold of
something" The Republicans
are undertaking their true
concern which, though by no
means one of terror, is also
no trifling fear.
In the end, however, Castro
himself may well determine
which party gains and which
loses. If he goes to New York
impertinently and hysteric-
ally attacking President Eli
senhoWer and the United
States generally, whatever
rightful blame the Republi-
cans may bear for the Cuban
mess" will be smothered
under a general public in
dignation at a bearded Cuban
boor. Otherwise, the Republi-
cans will almost certainly
have to do more and more
explaining about Cuba before
election day.

Your editorial THE Two
Trumans" (Sept. y shows
either ignorance or naivete.
I quote, In the past, the
former President, sincerely
we think, has denounced
those who inject religious is
sues into a political cam
paign."
Let us send your writer to
the woodShed, or to the files
for more honest research.
Mr.. Truman denounced
Mr.. Nixon recently for os-
tenSibly looking down the
high road-from the front
door, while he allowed BIZ
gotry and intolerance to
come in the back door. He
didn't quite label Nixon anti
semitic, but the tenor of his
charge was coached in such
manner to let Americans of
Jewish faith get such an in
ference.
I quote Truman again:
(ThiS time from the Wash
ington Post of Oct. 10, 1852.
Your paper also carried the
same Story.) President Tru-
man denounced Dwight D.
Eisenhower Friday, as a cap
tive candidate of anti-se-
mitic. anti-Catholic forces
of reaction"
Perhaps the revulsion this
year against such utterances
is not so great because the
people know Truman for
what he is a great poll
tician.
I attacked his claim pub
licly in 1852, I do so again
as an American citizen, as
a member of the Jewish
faith, and as a precinct lead
er in Montgomery County.
Some day the Democratic
Party will learn to talk to
the American people, instead
of appealing to racial, religi-
Gus, and class differences.

Both parties are graphing
quietly but 1iercely, in what
has thus far been a largely
underground struggle, over
what both now know may
become an portant
sleeper" in the presidential
campaign-Castro's Cuba.
The openly pro-Soviet re-
gime which Fidel Castro has
raised up in Cuba is un-
doubtedly already becoming
an issue of consequence.
The only question now left
and now being discussed
in anxious privacy by both
sets Of partisans-is just how
much Of an issue it will have
become by election day and
which candidate will be
helped or hurt.
And Castro's decision to
come to New York personally
to head his delegation to the
United Nations General As
sembly late this month has
served further to complicate
and compound an already
extremely delicate political
question.
Indeed, the politicians are
beginning to suggest that
this unwelcome visit by
Nikita KhruShchev's dreary
little Stooge Of the Caribbean
may set UP domestic political
currents and cross-currents
quite as nasty and tricky as
those certain to be loosed by
the Soviet dictator himself.
COP. Had Basic Issue
The absolutely basic. "gut"
campaign problem the Dem
ocratS had from the start
was this: How could the

fectively compete with the
Republican ticket of Vice
President Nixon and Senator
Lodge on the one grand and

all-the leadership of this
country in the cold WARP
The top Republican,
Richard M. Nixon. was able
to say-and has most insis-
tently been repeating-that
his eight years as Vice Presi-
dent in the Eisenhower ad-
ministration gave him an
inner knowledge and insight
which added up to expert
ence."
There was, moreover-and
there remains-the fact that
his running-mate, Henry
Cabot Lodge. had eight years

Ambassador to the U.N.
