ChontiIIy Cocktail?

1t is gratifying to learn that the
administration repeatedly has decided
to build permanent sewer line from
the new airport at Chantilly to Chain
Bridge, where it will connect with Wash
1ngton'S sewer system. 1t would be far
more gratifying, however, If some way
should be found to avoid even tempo
rary dumping of treated sewage into
our water Supply-an interim expedient
which the Budget Bureau recently said
was inevitable" pending construction
Of the interceptor line to the bridge.
The prospect of traces of sewage in
our drinking water, however well treated
the efluent might be, is so repugnant
to the average person as to warrant
an all-out effort by Federal officials to
solve the airport sewage problem with
out posing threat to the water supply.
Perhaps the interceptor line to Chain
Bridge could be made a crash pro-
gram" with completion date timed
s to coincide with the opening of the
Dulles airport. Or perhaps some tenn
porary plan might be worked out to
keep the sewage out of the Potomac
River above the water intake.
Regardless Of how much extra it
might cost to build such temporary
system, the expenditure would be justi-
fed. And it would be deeply appreciated
by those of us who do not like the idea
of our water being converted into a
Chantilly cocktail, favored with a dash
of airport sewage.

Nixon and Summit
A Weary Textbooker.

The report that President
Eisenhower may leave the
summit conference table to
enable Vice President Nixon
to take his place will be in
terpreted as an administra-
ton fear that Nixon's popu-
larity among voters has
plunged and that his pres
ence at the summit" will
increase his prestige.
Since, under the Constitu-
tion, the management of for
eign relations devolves upon
the President, and a Vice
President was never granted
any such authority by the
founding fathers to deal
with foreign powers, the
startling innovation would be
considered entirely as a pre-
election scheme to foster
Nixon's political ambitions.

Casualty Carries On

AS its name implies, Casualty Hos
pital for 72 years has been haven Of
mercy and expert care for countless
men, women and children stricken by
accidents or illness. There is contin-
uing need for such an institution in the
eastern part of Washington. The whole
community, therefore, can take pride in
the long record of service of this vener-
able hospital-and satisfaction in the
knowledge that it is growing and being
modernized in keeping with the cityS
needs.
The planning for such a hospital
of public spirited citizens was granted
a charter for "dispensary" in North
east Washington "for the medical and
surgical treatment of disease and in
jurieS and to provide medicines free to
poor and needy persons in the District
of Columbia" incorporated in 1888 as
the Eastern DiSpenSary, a clinic was
established in a rented house on street
Northeast. Those were the days when
traffic victims were of the horse-and-
buggy era variety. Broken bones from
run-aWayS or horSe-kickS sent many
patients to the emergency room.
AS the dispensary grew in impor-
tance and patronage, it had to seek
larger quarters. 1t moved successfully
to Third street Northeast, to Delaware
avenue Northeast and finally to MaSsa-
chusettS avenue Northeast. It's name
was changed to Eastern Dispensary and
Casualty Hospital. CaSualty'S horse
drawn ambulances became a familiar
sight as they raced to the scene Of
accidents or other disasters. Later its
motorized ambulances rendered aid and
carried patients to the hospital. It's
staff of doctors and nurses grew steadily
and so did its prestige. One physician
was especially active in promoting its

SousteHe's Star

Jacques Soustelle, who played a
key role In bringing about Charles de
GaulleS return to power in France in
1858, now has been expelled from the
Union for the New Republic, the Gaul-
list political party. This may be IRON
ical, but it is not surprising, for the rift
between the two men has been widening
for months past and is apparently un-
bridgeable.
In any case, in deciding on his ex-
pulSion, the UNR's central committee
has reminded Mr. Soustelle that the
party's prime purpose is to support Gin
defectibly and in all fields" President
de Gaulle'S policies and programs. Such
support has not been forthcoming from
Mr.. SouStelle. On the contrary, he has
sharply opposed the Presidents rela-
lively liberal approach to the hard prob
lens of Algeria, and he has advocated
instead an uncompromiSing insiStence
on Algeria'S integration with France
and war of determination against the
Algerian rebels Accordingly the lead
erS of the UNR have voted, with sad
ness but with resolution" to cast him
into the outer political darkness.
1t seems safe to predict, however,
that Mr.. Soustelle, who will retain his
seat in Parliament as leader of a group
OF former Gaullists, will not pass into
obscurity. He is youthful and tough
minded man with a strong personality
that appeals especially to the many
Frenchmen who want to hold on to
Algeria at all costs. His political star in
that sense is still twinkling.

Textbooks and Taxes

In the income tax struc-
ture (now being studied for
supposed remedies, a truly
forgotten man is the writer
of a textbook. Usually a pro-
feSsor or teacher-attempt-
ing to supplement his salary
he is dealing with a prod
uct that suffers devastating
obsolescence, yet he is al
lowed not one penny'S deduc-
ton for such deterioration.
Just the cost of pencils, paper,
typewriter ribbons and other
inconsequential items is he
permitted to write off.
Tax deductions are now
granted teachers and others
for expenses of education 'if
the education is undertaken
primarily for the purpose of
maintaining or improving
skills required in the tax
payers trade or business"
which means that teachers
attending summer institutes
can write of their expenses,
while the teacher who stays
at home to revise his text
book can write off nothing
for his living expenses and his
labor (and he has also prob
ably worked nights, Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays
throughout the year doing re-
search and collecting infor-
nation to bring his book up
to date).
Books are held to be so
necessary to the country's
welfare that they are granted
a special postal rate to en-
courage their distribution,
yet no incentive whatever
is given toward the keeping
Of textbooks and reference
books abreast of the times.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Temp Jones has been read
ing Russian novels recently.
Have you ever read a Rus
sian novel?
You should, because in lit
erature and music these am
bilious peoples are scarcely
excelled by any nation in the
world.
1t is not just sputniks they
put into the sky, but ideas
into peoples minds, a much
more difficult thing.
The typical Russian novel
has a serious intent often
lacking in the masterworkS of
other nations.
There is one thing you
must watch out for, however,
as Temp Jones has found out.
Those names!
Every character seems to
have at least six names. and
some even more, Jones says.
These, he thinks, must be the
major characters.
He is not sure who the
lesser characters are.
Boris Borisky may be talk
ing, let us say.
How are you, Boris?"
asks petite Lanaveska.
Il am fine, Birosky Olav-
dina" smiles petite Lana
veska. And you?"
Wonderful, Mirokloska,"
says Olvadina Kolestrovich.
If you can't figure this out,
neither can Reader Jones.
1t makes no difference, he
enthuses.
Just forget about all those
names, and buckle down to
the story, and you have some
thing wonderful.
The narrative interest is
slowed only for readers who
insist on making work out of
reading.
Templeton Jones says he
has often thought that too
many readers, even nova
days, work over a book,
rather than just put them
selves into it, to float with
the stream.
Every book, every article, is
a real stream-of conscious
ness method in action.
T he stream-of conscious
ness is a term much used in
recent years by critics of all
sorts, to embody a method
Of placing the thoughts of a
character before them.
This method has been used
by many of the best writer's,
sometimes with distinction.

For Disarmament

one nations apparently
invincible arsenal has yet to
disSuade another's rulers from
aggressive ambitions. Instead
OF deterring them, it insti-
gates their acquiring even
more lethal weapons. Thus,
superior military strength
accomplishes nothing beyond
providing greater destructive
power for wars it precipitates
rather than prevents.
Unless our objective is
oblivion, we should seek, not
mightier missiles, but mutu-
ally satisfactory solutions to
issues which divide mankind.
We should seize the initiative
in disarmament. abolish con-
scription, and start planning
in terms of peace. Also. we
should stop encouraging cut
throats everywhere who,
under cover of anticommu-
nism, would foment blood
baths, in abortive attempts to
impose their own brands of
tyranny.
Despite a clear need for
curtailing the arms race,
certain Senators, Congress-
men, generals, admirals and
news commentators insist we
must continue it. Seemingly
consecrated : to making this
planet uninhabitable, those
individuals constitute the
worst menace to our lives
and liberty. AS they declaim
lncessantly on behalf of
deadly devices, the excres-
cence of their warped minds
reveals their remarkable re-
semblance to misf1ts cursed
with an implacable compul-
sion to kill.
Their disloyalty to the ideal
a spe cts of Americanism
matches their sadism. Deter
mined to keep freedom and
prosperity forever dependent
on our ability to main and
murder, they deserve the very
enslavement they fear. Ironi-
cally, some Of them covet
our country's highest office.

Bruce e. Mccarthy.
Your editorial, "Capitula-
ton in Korea" in my opin-
ion, is unworthy of the great
tradition of the American
way of life. How is it possible
that a paper of your stand
ard can describe the revolu-
ton in Korea as a revolt Of
street mobS?
The revolution of the Ko-
rean students and their
teachers was directed against
a dictatorship which had
nothing in common with a
Tree democracy.

1t is a major mistake that
our State Department put
pressure on Syngman Rhee's
anti-Communist government
to resign. 1t should first be
determined what part Com
munists are playing in the
student riots" in Korea;
who would come into power
when Rhee falls, and what
their backgrounds and poll
cies are with regard to Com
munist North Korea and
American occupation forces.
All too often we have aban-
doned our friends to please
left-wing pressures, and had
to pay for our blunder with
the blood Of American boys.
Student violence and mob
rule against anti-Commu-
nists is now approved by our
liberals, while the mere in
vestigation of Communist
activities has been called
"hysteria."

pages In duration.
If the reader had to strug-
gle with names, in the read
ing, he might be exhausted.
Fortunately, in this work,
the names are no problem.
Names ought not be a

might say. not for the pur-

Even the honest English
novel sometimes serves up a.
name that throws the reader

too, concentration on a name
is bad reading.

would like to see a nameless

Names of characters often
are wonderfully apt, he says,

Vice President is the highest
elected Federal ofhcer-next
to the President, himself.
What could be more natural
than a call to the Vice Presi-
dent to sit in for the Presi-
dent at important conferences
If the Chief Executive were
compelled to attend to other
duties? But the Democrats,
some of them. see in the
Presidents proposal to have
Mr.. Nixon take his place at
the summit merely a political
trick to turn the limelight
on the Vice President and so
to aid in his election next
fall. The President is not
asking the Vice President to
make any agreements at the
summit conference. Should
there be any agreements,
which is doubtful. the Presi-
dent himself must speak for
the United States.
Wouldn't Abandon Farley
President Eisenhower is
ready to do his utmost to
make the summit meeting a
step in the direction of world
peace. 1t is folly, therefore,
to suggest that he will move
out Of the conference for any
except a most pressing reason.
He is not going to do so for
any other, including a pos
Sible enhancement of Mr..
Nixon'S political chances. The
Presid snt already has done
much to bring about a united
stand of the Western powers
the United States, Great
Britain and France-at the
summit conference. Beyond
that. in order to help toward
a better understanding be-
tween the free world and the
Communist world, he has
welcomed Soviet Premier
khrushchev on his visit to
this country and accepted an
invitation to visit Russia in
June.
A great Frenchman,
Charles de Gaulle, has lust
received a tremendous well
come here. For his country
he is a great leader. He and
President Eisenhower reach
ed a firm agreement on i'm
portant issues which may be
considered at the summit
conference. These issues the
President had previously dis
cussed with British Prime
Minister Macmillan. Presi-
dent de Gaulle delivered an
eloquent address at a Joint
session Of Congress, in which
he aligned hi m self with
President Eisenhower and
the French nation with the
United States. He asserted
that there must be an end
to the nuclear weapons race
and an abandonment of such
weapons of war. He did not
intimate that any such dis
armament should be agreed
to, however. without proper
safeguards that it will be
faithfully carried out.
The French President is
entitled to all praise. How
ever, some of the Eisenhower
critics in this country seized
upon his eloquence as signal
ing the rise of a new leader of
the free world-in place Of
Mr.. Eisenhower. Neither Mr..
Eisenhower nor the United
States is being relegated to
second place, despite the eff
forts of some Democrats to
show this country a second
rate" power. Almost it seems.
If the. critics are to be fol-
lowed, we must rise above
patriotism.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Time to Rise Above Patriotism?
By GOULD LINCOLN

President Eisenhower's re-
cent Statements repetition,
indeed, of what he has said
in the past-that he might
have to leave the summit
conference should it be pro-
tracted. in order to return to
the United States and domes-
tic problems. has been inter-
preted by some Democrats
as merely a move to help
Vice President Nixon in his
campaign for the presidency.
For the President coupled
with his announcement a
statement that Mr.. Nixon
would go to the summit con-
ference as his representative,
should he, the President, re-
turn to the United States.
This, too. the President has
said in the past.
When asked at his Wednes-
day press conference what
domestic issues might de-
mand an early return, the
President said Congress
might pass bills that re-
quired a veto. and he should
be on the spot to give them
consideration. On Thursday,
the House passed a billion
dollar housing bill. 1t gives
the Federal National Mort
gage Association authority
to go into the market and
purchase another billion dol
lars of housing mortgages.
This would create another
huge obligation on the Fed
eral Government. 1t could
be inflationary at a time
when initiation remains a
grave danger to the country's
economy. This is only a SAM
pie of what the present Dem
ocratic Congress may attempt
in the way of new programs
involving the credit of the
Government and much new
spending. The measure has
still to be considered by the
Senate.
Hunting for Issues
From now on, the Demo-
Gratis will be intent on pulling
political rabbits out of the
hat-to use as issues. Some Of
their issue-making measures
include school construction
bill going beyond the admin
istration's recommendations
and also authorizing the use
Of Federal funds to pay
teachers Sa laries; a de-
pressed areas bill, a wheat
bill increasing price supports,
and a bill to increase the
minimum wage from 81 to
$l.25 an hour. There are
other Democratic supported
programs. looking to future
outlays Of Government money
and to imitation.
That President Eisenhower
will use the power of veto to
stem the tide OF Federal
spending, Of Federal sub
sides, and Of future heavy
Government obligations is
fully expected. Some of the
Democratic proposals will not
pass over his veto, unless
they are materially modified.
They will be pressed. how
ever, in the hope they will
make Democratic votes next
November. This is politics.
Had Vice President Nixon
not been the prospective
nominee Of the Republican
Party for President, the
Presidents statement that
Mr.. Nixon would be called
upon to substitute temporarily
for him at the summit con-
ference would have created
no stir whatever among the
Democrats. After all the
