u. N. and the President

President Eisenhower has acted
wisely in deciding to address the open
Ing session of the United States Gen.
eral Assembly next Thursday. This is
good timing that will give him an op-
portunity to state the American posi-
ton with great forcefulnesS before
Soviet Premier KhruShchev has
chance to cut loose with what is ex-
pected to be particularly poisonous
propaganda offensive. Accordingly, to
That extent at least, our country will
have the advantage of firing the first
salvo in what promises to be one of the
grimmest debates-and possibly the
most fateful-in the U. MS history.
Mr.. KhruShchev, of course, may
manage to get in few prior potShots
during the ASSembly'S organizational
meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday,
but his main effort will have to follow
the Presidents. Conceivably, therefore,

Too Much Pollution Now

The Washington Metropolitan Re-
gional Sanitary Boards recommends
ton for relaxation of restrictions on
River above the intake for WaShington'S
water supply comes at an especially
inopportune time. The proposal not
only runs counter to the mo more efflu-
ent" policy of the boards parent group,
the Washington Metropolitan Regional
Conference, but adds to public concern
over an Army Engineers report that
sewage contamination in the upper river
is increasing. Public health officials
have described the increase as disturb
ing"
John c. Smith, chief of the Wash
ing Aqueduct's water supply division,
disclosed that daily SamplingS of water
above Great Falls during the past fiscal
year showed degree of sewage pollu-
ton in excess Of purity standards set
by the United States Public Health
Service for water-supply sources. The
pollution is worse now than at any time
in the past ten years. Fortunately for
those who drink water from the auue-
duct, however, filtration and other treat
ments reduce the germ content to a
level regarded as safe for public health.
But District Health Oficer Finucane
points out that as the bacteria count
rises, the difficulty of making the water
safe for consumption increases corre-
Spondingly. He says the situation re-
quires "close supervision"
Against this background, the sug-
geStion of the regional board that the
conference modify its policy against
construction of any sewage treatment
plants above the water supply intake is
surprising, to put it mildly. The board
said it would be 'impractical' to pro-
hibit the temporary discharge into the
Potomac River of treated sewage, pend
ing completion of the Chantilly airport
interceptor sewer.
But the Federal Aviation Agency has
found very practical way to dispose
of sewage during the period of construc-
tion OF the big line down the river to
Chain Bridge. Using system tried with
success in other cities, the FAA will
impound the sewage in settling basins,
where evaporation will occur and much
of the residue will be converted into
fertilizer. Why cannot a similar ar
rangement be made to care for any
urgent Sewage-disposal needs of the
communities developing near the air
port? Certainly the river should be
opened to more sewage effiuent only as
last resort. And we cannot think of any
emergency development that would JUS
tify any lowering of the anticontamina-
tion bars, even temporarily. There is
too much pollution in the river as 1t is.

OF Representatives for a de-
cision there.
Now. all these things al
most certainly will not hap
pen. But what will surely
happen is this: The Georgia
straw vote-which already
means the repudiation of
Gov. Ernest Vandiver as a
pro-Kennedy man-will put
fear into every Democratic
leader in that State, and all
over the South. 1t is an omi-
nous portent for Kennedy
and johnson everywhere be-
low the Mason-Dixon Line.
Doubtless Georgia Republi-
cans entered the Democratic
referendum as ringers" But
let's face it-there are not
many Georgia Republicans.
Georgia's two Senators,
Richard Russell and Herman
Talmadge, had been await
ing the straw vote in the ex-
pectation' that it would give
them a mandate to back Sen
ators Kennedy and johnson.
The mandate has not come,
and the lesson will be read
among other powerful Southa
ern politicians. It would be
unwise to bet much that SEN
ators Russell and Talmadge
Or Gov. Vandiver for that
matter-will now break their
backs to carry Georgia for the
Kennedy johnson ticket.
Move From Left-Wing
In the meantime, both SEN
ators Kennedy and johnson,
as had been forecast recently
in this column, had already
begun to move a bit away
from the Democratic left
wing. In the very home of
left-wingiSm i New York -
Senator Kennedy had in ef-
feet publicly rejected ultra
liberalism, on the very night
the Georgia ballots were be-
ing counted. Senator John
son at the same moment was
moving into the West with a
cry for conservatism in spend
ing and taxes.
The point needs underlin-
ing again: The Democrats
would be in trouble in the
South, and among moderate
to-conservative Democrats
everywhere, if Senator Ken
nedy's Catholic religion had
never been raised against him
and if civil rights had never
been heard of.
His brave and moving re-
sponse to the so-called Cath
olic issue" is one thing. But
the ultra-liberal Democratic
convention platform Il pre-
pared mostly by men who
never won an election to any,
thing and never could-re-
mains a heavy weight upon
the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.

THE PASSING SCENE
Kennedy Team Turns From Left
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE

The Kennedy-Johnson
Democratic presidential ticket
is now taking a clear turn
toward a relatively more con-
servative position, but it may
be too late a turn-in the
South and Border States,
anyhow.
Extremely bad news for the
Democrats, for example, has
just come from Georgia, a
State never in modern history
carried by a Republican presi-
Dental candidate and a
State which above all others
in the South the Democrats
had believed to be safe for
November.
Against the universal ex-
pectation of the professional
politicians, Georgia Demo-
Gratis have turned in an ad-
visory vote favoring unpledged
electors rather than electors
committed to the Democratic
ticket.
This does not necessarily
mean the final loss of Georgia
to Senators Kennedy and
Johnson. But it is a heavy
blow, at the very least. If
they should go on to carry
the State in November a
majority Of the electors no
doubt still would cast most
of the States electoral vote
for the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket. For, most of the
electors already had indorsed
that ticket.
People in no State, Of
course. vote directly for presi-
Dental candidates. They
vote instead for a slate of
electors which in turn is
bound by long custom, but
not actually by law, to cast
the States electoral vote for
the presidential candidate
receiving a majority in No
vember.)
Wanted Vote Withheld
What the Georgia Demo-
Gratis have done, in short, is
this: They have said they
do not wish to see Senators
Kennedy and johnson auto
matically take Georgia's elec-
toral vote, even if they win
the popular vote in Novem-
ber. They have not said they
would automatically prefer
the Republican ticket of Vice
President Nixon and Henry
Cabot Lodge, either.
They have only said that
they would want to see the
States electoral vote with
held altogether. This is in the
hope that. in the highly un-
likely event of a national tie
for the presidency, Georgia
would be in position to bar
gain. Such a tie would throw
the election into the House

1t was not necessary for
the Potsdam papers to be
revealed in order to know
that disaster struck there.
At Yalta, Teheran, and Pots
dam, the blueprint for our
present world trouble with
communism was laid. I do
not think that our leaders
did any intentional wrong
at these meetings. The fault
now seems to be that no one
at the conferences really
understood the Reds and
their aims.
The remarkable victories
realized by Communists at
the conference table were
gained from "liberal-minded"
Democrats. To cite one ex-
ample: The holding back of
United States troops so that
the Reds could take Berlin,
and the subsequent partition
ing Of that city with only q
corridor (now a tunneD CIV
ing access.
I do not propose to label
Democrats as pro-Commu-
mist. I'm positive that they
are not. However please
notice that the more "lib-
eral" (more socialist) one
becomes the closer his men
tai attitude is aligned to
that of the Communists.
Socialism is becoming the
kindergarten of communism.
I'm sure KhruSchchev re-
ferred to this socialist trend
in our politics when he pre-
dicted that the United States
would eventually go Com
munist. If the politicians
(Kennedy, Bowles, Rookie
feller, and even Nixon to a
lesser extent) continue to
rush toward socialism as
they are now doing, this
country will be collectivist
sooner than Khrushchev
dared imagine.
I have been a Democrat
in politics until this election.
This time I am voting Re-
publican. 1t is the lesser of
two evils. The last vestiges
of personal responsibility re-
side in this party. Others
have given all to a strong
central Government. The
Democrats have gone COL
lectivist with their mad rush
to centralize all government
functions. Don't they know
that the more central the
power, the easier it is for
pressure and power interests
to gain control whether these
interests are big business,
labor unions, or power
hungry individuals? We had
better wake up.

Of st. Louis said he doubted
Oscar Robertson would make 1t

Association.
Last night Robertson was at
his best for the upstart Gin
cinnati Royals. scoring 80 points

in the only league game sched-
uled.
And last night, Foust-who
couldn't even score in the game
said, "I'd say he'll be around
for a long time"
Foust might have consulted
his coach, Paul Seymour. AL
though Seymour's crew beat the
Royals in seven Of nine pre-
season exhibitions, the Hawks
coach said Of Robertson:
II would say he knows as
much about the game as any,
body in the league right now.
He's a real good one"
The Royals were the league
doormat for the last two years.

their fourth without defeat,

Maryland's competition-con-
scious tracks are passing up q
business opportunity with no
racing scheduled in the area
closer than Aqueduct.
Although in past years Octo-
ber was considered highly
priced time by Laurel, there
will be no racing in Maryland
this week until Laurel starts
its 11-day fall meeting at /
pm. Saturday.
The appeal of fair weather
racing was pointed up at Marl-
boro's 12-day meeting, which
concluded in rd-breaking
style last Saturday.
A crowd of S.S03 wagered
$675,58l. an all-time high for
the successful half-mile track.
The total topped the old mark
Of $644 ,040, registered two years
ago on eight races. Nine events
were run Saturday.
The big rush at the windows
Saturday sent the daily aver
age to $400,437 for the 12-day
stand, a mark which seemed
unattainable earlier last week.
The average represented a 4.S
per cent increase over the 1859
session at Marlboro. 1t left
Marlboro only slightly behind
Timonium, leader of the five
Maryland minor tracks, with a
$405.056 average.
Not only was the Marlboro
meeting successful from the
management's standpoint. the
horseplayers also did well, at
least the favorite bettors, who
hit on 48 per cent Of their
wagers.
Marlboro's Nursery Stakes
again was well received Satur-
day as it was run of in four
sections. The fillies beat the
colts, with only one male
thoroughbred getting home in
