Don Christy returns to Bal

verware won in yesterdays
Capital Power Boat Regatta on
the placid Potomac.
Twenty one-year-old Christy
took three f1rsts and a second
in the outboard competition
between the Memorial and
Fourteenth street bridges.
Ted Thompson and Bob
Thornton dominated the alco-
hol-burning non-stock classes,
with Silver Spring machinist
Thornton taking f1rsts in the
C and F Racing Hydros.
Thompson, %, from RAN
dallstown. Md, and a student
at Florida Southern, had no
difficulty sweeping both heats
Of the A Racing Hydros. scor-
ing perfect 800 points. In the
F Hydros, he finished second
to Thornton in both heats.
In the second heat of the F
Hydros, Ed Mobley, At, of
Frederick, Md, was thrown
from his boat so yards from
the finish but was uninjured.
Thompson returned in the B
Racing Hydros, where, in the
first heat, he exchanged leads
with Ed often of Emporia, Va,
three times before finishing
second. In the final heat,
Thompson led all the way, and
accumulated enough points to
take another first. Often stalled
100 yards from the line and
wound up third.
ChriSty started first in each
of the two heats for the stock
BUS, ASH's, and BSH's and
won all six events, hanging up
perfect scores in all. Last year,
he was the high point champ
in these three classes.
Christy's worse effort of the
day was a second in the AU

Pensioner in Moscow

Little more than two years ago the
Premier of the Soviet Union was Nikolai
Bulganin, perSonable, goateed politico
whose chief travelling companion was an
interesting and dynamic fellow named
Nikita Khrushchev. Now everything is
changed. All of sudden, back in March
of 1858, old Nikolai fell from grace and
Nikita took over the premiership. Since
then, Marshal Bulganin has gone
through an elaborate "confeSsing" pro-
cedure in which he has reviled himself
as a "deSpicable" member of "vile
anti-party" group made up of such other
once-eminent characters as Georgi NAL
enkov, Vyascheslav Molotov and Lazar
Kaganovich.
In Stalin'S day, such confession"
would have been followed Immediately
by an act of liquidation" "a shot in the
head or some other form of execution.
But things have been undergoing rev.
olution of sorts in the USSR. Marshal
Bulganin has been allowed to live. In
deed, according to reports from Moscow,
he has been granted special pension
generous enough to enable him to spend
the rest of his days in relative comfort.
Premier Khrushchev is said to be per-
Sonally responsible for this. If so, he
has not hurt himself in terms of either
home front or international propaganda;
instead he has put on a good show of
being both human and humane in
manner altogether at variance with the
StaliniSt era. n

neuvering succeeded in dragging on
negotiations and securing a moratorium
for 16 critical months, with no controls.
If the SovietS will not approach test
negotiations realistically, we should
terminate. the conference. We should
not allow them to prolong this delay
month after month by successive new
proposals which differ only insignifi-
cantly one from the other"
Mr.. Anderson has rendered good
service to the Nation in emphasizing
this point on the floor of the Senate,
and Acc Chairman McCone has been
similarly helpful in plainly indicating
to the joint committee that he agrees
with the essentials of the Senator's
argument. And why shouldn't he?
After all, for the past Is months our
country has debarred itself from every
type of nuclear testing, and there have
been no real safeguards, meanwhile,
against the possibility that the Russians
have been staging clandestine under
ground detonations.
This is an exceedingly grave pos
sibility. Right now, for example, the
Kremlin could be surreptitiously setting
of nuclear explosions of vital impor-
tance to the development of missile war
heads and revolutionary small" atomic
hydrogen weapons. So Senator Anderson
has done well in warning that adherence
to the present unpoliced test morato-
rum is placing our country at a peril
Gus disadvantage which we ought to
eliminate at the earliest possible
moment.

Save Our River!

A slow death for the Potomac River
during the next decade or two is fore
seen by an Army engineer-unleSS re-
medal measures are taken soon. This
is prospect too alarming to permit
of further dillydallying by Congress on
appropriations to avert such disaster.
Yet Congress in recent years has seri-
ouSly hampered the engineers survey
OF the rivera necessary preliminary
step toward planning and building
water-famine safeguards for the Wash
ington area.
The outlook for dried-up Potomac
at Chain Bridge and a stagnant salt
water marsh in the tidal section along
the city'S waterfront was described to
the Potomac River Development ASSo-
citation by an outstanding authority,
Brigadier General Thomas H. Lipscomb,
chief of the Army Engineers North
Atlantic Division. 1t could happen by
1875, General LipScomb declared, un-
less, in the meantime, adequate water
storage facilities are built above Wash
ington'S water intake.
This is the strongest warning on the
plight of our ailing river yet to come
from the Army, which has responsibility
for insuring the Nations Capital of an
ample supply of water, even in times of
drought. General Lipscomb explained
that the situation is becoming critical
because of the phenomenal expansion
of population in the Washington Metro
politan Area. He estimated that the
metro" population will rise from today's
million to 3 million during the next
is years. Then the city and suburbs
will be using water as fast as 1t is COL
lected by the present water supply dams
at Little Falls and Great Falls There
will be nothing but dry gulch between
the Little Falls dam and tidewater,
according to the Army water expert.
And the stagnation of sewage polluted
tidewater in Washington's front yard
would be an intolerable nuisance and
health menace.
Congress would not want such an
emergency to develop any more than
anyone else. But the risk of dangerous
conditions is increasing as the Army
Engineers survey of the basin continues
to lag not only for want of sufficient
funds but because of restrictions placed
by Congress on the extent of the engi-
neering study. For example, Congress
last year cut the engineers request for
$500,000 to $392,O0O and decreed that
none of the money could be used in
planning dams for flood control. Yet
flood control and water supply are so
closely related that joint storage facili-
ties might serve both needs.
Congress, in weighing appropria-
,tionS for completing the river survey,
must pay attention to the solemn warn
ing issued by General Lipscomb concern
ing the threatened deterioration of the
Potomac. There should be an end to
this foolhardy business of Slashing sur
vey funds and imposing stupid and
illogical restraints on the surveyors.

'Piq in q Poke

Speaking as head of the Joint Con-
greSSional Atomic Committee, Senator
Anderson has made clear, and very per-
suasively, that he takes decidedly dim
view of the Kremlin's latest proposal on
banning nuclear tests. Unlike all too
many people who have rushed into print
TO hail it as major concession to the
West, he has attacked it as "a phony,"
and he has suggested that the Anglo
American-Soviet talks on the subject
should be broken off unless the Russians
soon show readiness to deal aff1rma-
lively with the problem.
What has riled Mr.. Anderson is his
own conviction that even brief analy-
sis" of the new Soviet plan shows that
it does not deserve to be described as
a concession of any consequence what
ever. On the contrary as he sees it, it
would have the altogether dangerous
effect of making us agree to ban indefi-
nitely all types of nuclear teSts-includ-
ing the smaller underground shots that
are at present undetectable-m on
the basis of verbal pledges or a kind
of "honor system" that could be vio-
lated behind the Iron Curtain with the
greatest of ease.
Thus, in the Senator'S words, again
the United States is asked to buy a pig
in poke. We are asked to forgo test
ing and to accept totally inadequate
inspection system. We are asked again
to agree to a system based largely on
trust of the SOVietS rather than real
controls" And he has gone on to de-
clare as follows: ITO continue discus

No tree, however large and

They are said to pass a

but most of us will never

This correspondent speaks
OF the strange doings of our
fine feathered friends.
This is true enough, but
the parallels with humanity
are even stranger.
Birds fly. as people do now;
they eat foods, go to sleep,
bring up families, love to
go places.
In fact, if humanity fol-
lowed just one practice a lit
tie better, that of going to
bed and getting up early, the
world would be better off.
There is very little to be
said for night life, except ex-
citement. Maybe this is
enough. There is no dis
putting in matters of taste,
a wise man said long ago.
The birds live happy little
lives in a big unhappy world,
and undoubtedly have lessons
to teach still struggling hui
manity, if we would but
listen. OF course, we won't:
we never have, and probably
never will. The genius of
humanity is against taking
tips from the other creatures.
We have called them dumb
bruteS so long, and regarded
ourselves as so high above
them, that we have no
chance. that way, to be hap

wlnian revolution, which took
us out of heaven and put us
