Defense Powers
BY the Associated Press

The Senate today passed a
bill extending the remaining
powers in the Defense Produc-
tion Act for another two years
through June 80, 1862.
These include: Authority to
establish priorities for defense
contracts; limited power to al
locate materials for defense
purposes; authority to guaran-
tee loans made in connection
with defense contracts: author
ity to make loans and pur-
chases to build up defense ca
pacity.
The bill went back to the
House for consideration of an
amendment permitting the
President to make reports un-
der the act semiannually in
stead of quarterly.

on the bill, but the pressure OF
other business has delayed mat
ters to a point where there is
not enough time for hearings.
However, committee sources
say there is a possibility that
the group this week will ap-
prove the measure without
hearings. But nothing is def
mite, since the committee still
has many other bills pending
before it.
The administration supports
the bills provision raising Fed
eral employe per diem travel
pay from $12 to SIS. But it
objects to the provision raising
automobile mileage allowances
from 10 to IL cents in the
House bill.
If the Senate group does ap-
prove the bill. it will keep the
present automobile mileage al
lowance at 10 cents, and leave
the issue to be decided in
House-Senate conference.

The President has 10 days,

on the bill after it reaches him,

enceS about policies. But when
a leaders policies appear to
produce results exactly opposite
% what was intended, the lead
er must accept the conse-
4uenceS.
This harsh rule perhaps can
not be fairly applied to the
President. But given the turn
of events since May 1, it cannot
be denied that confidence in the
Government of the United
States and the leadership which
it provides to the free world has
been very badly compromised.
Sequence Of Events
No one could know, to be
sure, that an American recon-
Nuisance plane would be shot
down by the Russians on May
i. No one could prevent Pre-
mier KhruShchev from seizing
on the incident to wreck the
summit meeting and launch an
sll-out assault on Americas
worldwide system Of defensive
bases. No one can hold Mr..
Eisenhower responsible for the
collapse of civil authority in
japan. No one can blame him
for the Chinese Communist
Commandment of Quemoy.
And yet none of these things
was really unforseeable or CO.
incidental. In each case many
critical decisions by the Ameri-
can Government, based on the
judgment of the top leadership,
were involved before, during
and after the event.
No matter how wise the de-
cisions may have appeared to
those who reached them at the
time, the results of those deci-
sionS-in the light of Commu-
mist exploitation-have been
immensely damaging to the
prestige of the country and its
President abroad.
Painful Error
In the case of the Far East
ern flasco, the errors of judg-
ment are so apparent as to be
painful. The first was the origi-
nal decision to make the trip.
That decision was undoubt-
edly based on a genuine desire
TO demonstrate the Nations in
terest and good will toward
Japan. But it became quickly
apparent that the trip was also
injecting the President of the
United States into a situation
in which no President of the
United States should be per-
sonally involved, yet the longer
the trip remained on the
schedule-without change-the
deeper the Communists were
able to involve the President.
There were doubtless reasons,
which appeared convincing at
the time, for refusing to can
Gel the trip. Yet the result now
is serious injury to the very
cause Mr.. Eisenhower was try
ing to strengthen, together with
the personal humiliation to
which he has been subjected.
Advice at FauIt
The conclusion drawn BY
some observers in Europe is
simply that Mr.. Eisenhower
has been getting very bad ad-
vice for the last few months or
else is paying no attention to
the advice he gets. And far
beyond any feeling of sorrow
or sympathy, this conclusion
carries with it a large measure
of alarm.
There is growing certainty
here that the East West strug-
gle is entering its most dan
gerous period since the end OF
World War II and for the first
time in many years there il

Firm Wins Right

cause more traffic, Arlington

to allow the Steuart Petroleum

Washington boulevard and

Noting that the site is with

permit would constitute dis
elimination and confiscation.
He also commented that per-
mits cannot be withheld to
regulate competition or be-
cause there appears to be no
need for the type of business
an applicant wishes to main
tain.
The board voted 3 to 0 last
December to reject the appli-
cation. Members expressed
fear of increased traffic con-
gestion on Washington boule-
ward and cited the proximity
of other service stations.

Planners Ask

Nearby

The Northern Virginia Re-
gional Planning Commission
last night joined the campaign
for a State mental hospital in
Fairfax County.
1t acted after Arlington
County Court Judge Paul
Brown said there is need to
convince State authorities that
Northern Virginia is united in
its desire for the hospital.
Proposed construction of
100-bed institution on a 10
acre tract adjacent to the new
Fairfax General Hospital al
ready has received Endorsement
from some 100 civic, religious
and professional organizations,
he reported.
Noting that Virginia is con-
centrating funds on expansion
OF existing mental institutions
and improvement of their
standards, Judge Brown as
serted nearby Jurisdictions can
not hope at this time to OBJ
tain a larger hospital.
He said the one proposed
would be designed primarily for
voluntary patients likely to
respond to treatment quickly
and that fees charged them
would make it self-supporting.
The General Assembly in
1858 authorized the establish
ment of a Northern Virginia
hospital, provided land is do
mated for it. Fairfax has agreed
to contribute the land. How
ever, the State Hospital Board
and Capitol Outlay Committee
must approve the project before
the assembly allocates funds.
Judge Brown, who spoke as
vice president of the Northern
Virginia Mental Health AsSoci-
alton, pointed out that the
nearest State hospital is in
Staunton, which is more than
a 3-hour drive from Wash
ington.
He said Northern Virginians
now are being sent to mental
institutions at the rate of about
one a day.

too bright or the grass too

had caused the error.
One afternoon, the rookie
muffed an easy pop-up. He
was all set with his excuse
when he trotted back to the
dugout, but Harris stopped
him.
IT'S all right. I didn't

husband is letting me down.
Instead of being sympathetic,
he keeps nagging me to go
out with him and spend less
time with my mother.
Nat can't understand that I
just can't enjoy myself when
l go out. My mother is suf-
fering so. I feel guilty every
second I'm away from her.
She can't bear to be touched
by a nurse or anyone but me.
Nat Al may be selfish,
but we all have only Cne life
to live and we've got to make
the most of it. Cynthia and
1 will be old and ailing in our
time.
Cynthia's mother has had a
long, rich life. She is past rs
and was always in good
health. l know she is suffer-
ing now. but she should con-
slider Cynthia. A competent
nurse can handle her even
better.
Cynthia's two sisters have
done very little to help. It's
true they have families, but
they should do something to
cooperate.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Cynthia is going through
about the worst of life's trials.
At such times, it is easy to
think that others are un-
sympathetic. In this in
stance. however, this is far
from the real case. Nat is
making reasonable request.
Cynthia creates the i'm
preston that she dwells on
her mothers Sufferings ex-
ceSsively. Possibly she feels
she can in some way allevi-
ate her mothers pain by
taking a little of it on herself.
But this is impossible.
Possibly Cynthia has found
a degree of satisfaction in
her unhappiness. Although
she is childleSS, she has found
someone who seems to need
her as urgently as any child.
Because she has taken
over so completely, Cynthia's
sisters may feel somewhat
showed out of the way. They
should certainly be called in
to share some of this un-
happy responsibility.
A good nurse will be able
to win her mother over.
