HoIdinq Out in Albany

New York'S Governor Rockefeller
has gone to unusual lengths to make
secure his "unavailability" for the Re-
publican vice presidential nomination.
Supplementing earlier statements
of disintereSt in second place on the
ticket, the Governor during the past
week end closed whole series of doors
through which vice presidential draft
might have been launched in his direc-
ton. Politely but firmly, in letter to
g. o. P. National Chairman Morton, Mr..
Rockefeller declined an invitation to be
temporary chairman, keynote speaker
or permanent chairman of the party'S
convention in Chicago in late July. Hav-
ing done this, he wrote further that he
would not attend the convention in any
capacity" All of this, he explained, he
has decided upon as means of making
clear his unavailability as vice presi-
Dental prospect and his unwillingness
to have the delegates miSconStrue even
his presence at the convention.
But If this does indeed foreclose any
further possibility or even speculation
that Mr.. Rockefeller might end up in
second place on the ticket, it still leaves
some other questions. AS the party'S
most dramatic winner in 1858, the New
York Governor cannot easily lock him.
self in a political isolation booth" in
Albany in this presidential year. In his
original statement of withdrawal as
presidential candidate last December 26.
Mr.. Rockefeller called upon "all of us
who are Republicans" to devote their
thoughts and energies to "invigorating"
the party and added that he expected
"to support the nominees, as well as the
programs" this year. Up to now, how
ever, he has declined an Endorsement Of
Vice President Nixon, although the Cali
fornian'S steady progress toward the
nomination has been marked by impress
sive vote-getting displays in primaries
where he has made no campaign effort.
At the same time, no write-in Rockefel-
Ter strength has developed despite occa-
Sional talk of drafting" the Governor.
Technically speaking, Mr.. Rookie
feller's position may be correct" one.
Mr.. Nixon has not yet been nominated
and some as yet unforeseen circum-
stance might arouse real draft Rookie

that the Governorship of New York is
a more important Office than that Of
Vice President of the United States, or
that his long-term political prospects
will be served better by his current poll
icy of noninvolvement. But his own high
standards of political responsibility may
yet call for searching re-examination
by the convention week of July Is.

CostIy-but Necessary

IL Is only IldIuTdl GLldL dQulIIllSGId-
ton officials should be studying care
fully the problem of Joint Federal-local
financing of the costly plan for ridding
the Potomac River of recurrent raw
sewage pollution. We are glad to learn,
however, that they agree that the prob
lem must be solved as soon as practi-
cable, however great the cost. Remain
ing to be decided, of course, is the
extent to which Federal funds should be
invested.
Secretary Flemming of the Depart
ment of Health, Education and Welfare
has informed House Rivers and Har-
bors subcommittee that the admins
tration strongly favors" the purpose
of pending legislation to eliminate the
combined storm sanitary sewer system
in Washington'S older sections. This
outmoded system brings an overflow Of
raw sewage into the river every time
there is heavy rain. The contamina-
ton comes from many sewer outlets
along Washington'S waterfront. A start
already has been made on setting up
separate storm and sanitary systems as
part of the Southwest redevelopment
program.
Bills before the House subcommit-
tee call for Federal grant of $75 mil
lion to complete the big job by 1866. The
Budget Bureau has baked at putting
the burden of cost on the Federal Gov
ernment. There has been talk of "rea-
sonable" Federal grant, plus loan to
the District to be repaid out of sewer
assessments. District officials have said
that even If all available District re-
sources for the project are counted,
there will still be deficit of about $27
million to be met. It is possible that
nearby Maryland and Virginia commu-
mites might contribute to the program,
since they will receive benefits from the
river cleanup. In any event, substantial
Federal aid, through either a grant or
loan, will be essential. And, as major
beneficiary of the program, the Federal
Government ought to contribute its fair
share toward an undertaking so vital to
the health and welfare of the Nations
Capital.

One-Sided Advance

On one side of the Capitol, at least,
the inertia that blocked the Washington
area interstate transit regulatory COM
pact bill for so long finally has been
broken. We hope that the House Judi
ciary Committee approval of the COM
pact now will stimulate similar activity
in the Senate.
There has been some speculation
that the compact might be tied in some
way to the more far-reaching bill now
under consideration by a joint COM
nittee to provide for construction of
rapid transit system here. Such an idea
is without merit. For to combine the
two bills would only complicate the Sit
uation; their purposes are clearly sepa-
rate, and should be kept so. Further
more, the controversy which initially
begged down the compact bill has been
resolved, thanks to the sensible amend
ments adopted by the House committee.
There no longer is any reason to antici-
pate trouble for the compact in either
the House or the Senate. The rapid
transit bill, on the other hand, is in an
earlier stage of development, and num-
ber of decisions must be made before
this session of Congress is asked to en-
act it.
Creation of the regulatory compact
agency will afford the first opportunity
for an area-Wide coordination of exist

I resent such misrepresen-

There has been a lot of
unnecessary furor raised over
our being discovered engag-
ing in espionage against the
Soviet Union. Responsible
heads of state throughout
the free world are surely
aware that the national Sc
curity of all nations, includ-
ing the Iron Curtain coun-
tries, depends upon the &C
QUESTION of reliable intelli-
gence information. This in
formation will have to be
obtained by either free ex-
change between governments
or by devious methods.
The main cause Of the fu-
ror being raised is no doubt
the trend in the press toward
the sensational, or at least
the apparently sensational
news. This is aSsuredly not
the first United States agent
captured and will not be the
last. We have captured
enemy agents in our country
and I am sure that they have
sufficient Photographic COW
erage for their needs. I feel
that this country should not
be as embarrassed about the
disclosure of the incident as
about the apparently free
talking agent who was cap
tured. Men who are in the
profession of gathering in
formation. operatives or
spies, know well the hazards
Of their profession and yet
they serve. either for patri-
otic or monetary reasons.
With this in mind it should
not be expecting too much
for agents to fulfill their mis-
sion or to deny the potential
enemy access to knowledge
of his mission and equip
ment.
1t is essential that the
United States keep up its
guard against possible ag-
gression by any means avail
able. If this means precarious
flights over hostile ground,
then by all means do it.
However. positive action
should be taken to assure that
the equipment used and the
information gathered will not
fall into the hands of i'm
proper parties.

Summit DebocIe

If Mr.. Khrushchev had dispatched
a nuclear-t tipped rocket instead of max
ing personal appearance in Paris, he
could hardly have blasted the summit
hopes in more devastating fashion. And
he probably did this with malice afore-
thought.
The Soviet leader had some provo
cation and ample opportunity, thanks to
us, to torpedo the conference. When the
heads of state sat down in Paris, he was
confronted with the fact that American
planes had been flying over Russia on
espionage missions, that this was con-
Sidered national policy authorized by
the President, and that, as Of that time,
there was still reason to believe the
United States intended to continue such
flights. (Mr. Eisenhower's diSavowal of
this came after Mr.. KhruShchev had
wrecked the conference)
True enough, espionage is game
which everyone plays, most definitely
including Mr.. KhruShchev. And espio-
mage in any form, if it is successful, has
to be an intrusion on national Sover-
eighty. Still, the fact remains that Mr..
KhruShchev, as a result of the way in
which our own Government mishandled
the U-2 incident, was definitely on spot.
He cannot ignore opinion at home, eS-
pecially opinion in the Soviet armed
forces and in the party hierarchy. If
he had simply refused to negotiate that
would have surprised no one. But the
Soviet leader went so far beyond this
that the President was justified in say
ing that he must have come all the way
from Moscow Just to sabotage" the
meeting.
What was Mr.. Khrushchev really
trying to accomplish, and why did he go
about it in such blunderbuss fashion?
AS to the first, there are several posi-
bilities. He may have been trying to iso-
late the United States from the rest Of
the world by picturing us as criminals
bent upon starting a nuclear war. He
may have been trying to drive wedge
between us and the French and British.
Certainly his pointed expression Of ap-
probation to General de Gaulle and Mr..
Macmillan suggests as much. He could
well have been trying, at minimum, to
deprive us of overseas bases. And he even
took fling at going over the Presidents
head to interfere in American domestic
politics.
The question of why Mr.. Khru-
shchev wanted to explode the con-
ference in such thoroughgoing fashion
is a mystery. He made one comment
near the end of his remarks, however,
which was interesting and perhaps OF
some significance. "I believe" he said
'that both President Eisenhower and
the American people will understand me
correctly" What did this mean? Was
Mr.. KhruShchev saying, in effect, that
his harsh words should not be taken al
face value; that, instead, he was speak
ing in a sense for home consumption?
If this is correct the break between
East and West may not be as irrevocable
as it seems If it is not correct, however
we had better leave nothing to chance
For we can expect, certainly, an inten-
sification of the cold war, perhaps g
Berlin crisis before the year is out, anC
possibly the war which every sane per.
son had hoped to avoid.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

There seems to be no ques-
ton that the best way to
live, in the suburbs as any
place else, is to live your own
life in your own way.
The question of where has
little to do with it, except in
those cases of persons who
are easily led by others. For
them, it is a different matter.
If in the city, they live one
way; if in the suburbs, in
another.
Actually, the only real way
is to live according to the
moral, ethical and religious
precepts of the world. These
vary, it is true, but also there
is a remarkable similarity.
If one moves to the sub
urbs, as many do at this
time of year, it is up to him
to be himself, let the demands
upon his time fall where they
may.
The demands made upon
him will be more than ever,
because countless raScals and
near-rascals have seen that
most of the persons living in
the suburbs have some
money.
Just how much, they are
not sure, but they are going
to try to find out, by various
lodges. They ring your door,
bell endlessly, each wanting
something - some of your
money, Of course.
They will take anything,
from a penny and a dime to
a dollar and five dollars, and
then look at you as if to say:
We'll, five dollars will do.
I suppose, but why don't you
make 1t ten, you cheap
skate?"
You see, with these peo-
pie, you can't win.
+ y y
So why answer the bell, in
the first place?
This harassment has be-
come so bad in some of our
better suburbs that people are
no longer answering their
doorbells.
They peek out. and unless
the person is known to them,
they simply stand still,
breathing easily and care
fully, until the unwanted ono
is gone.
