groups of paintings. The tossing or
coin then decided the destination of
the undiscloSed works.
OF the 81 paintings, 80 are regarded
as of outstanding Importance. And the
National Gallery obtained about half of
these more important pictures. Included
are works by Rembrandt, Boucher,
Tintoretto, Fragonard, Turner, Titan,
RubenS, Correggio, Raphael and Van
Dyck. The Timken acquisition is the
largest and most noted since the Ma
tional Gallery took over the Kress col

is the priceless Mellon collection, a gift,

Another Summit?

Men of reason and good will must
welcome the United Nations resolution
exhorting the Big Four "to resume dis
cuSsions as soon as possible" For the
resolution, enacted by the Security
Council with 9-to-0 vote Russia and
Poland abStaining), is designed to serve
the cause of peace by keeping alive the
idea Of negotiation regardless of the
debacle of the Paris summit conference.
Speaking for the United States,
President Eisenhower has firmly sup
ported this idea. AS he has put it,
I'VE must continue busineSs-like deal
ingS with the Soviet leaders on out
standing issues, and improve the con-
facts between our own and the Soviet
people, making clear that the path of
reason and common sense is still open
If the SovietS will but use it," And
Nikita Khrushchev, despite the en-
venomed nature of most of his propa-
ganda exploitation of the downing Of
our U-2 "spy plane" has just declared
to workers meeting in Moscow that
the Presidents view "can be of positive
value" and that the Kremlin, although
it does not expect another try at the
summit for at least six or eight months,
is ready even now to negotiate at all
levels ION an honorable basis"
Nevertheless, while he has been
relatively temperate in this latest speech,
the Soviet Premier has persisted in
libeling our Government as a "piratical"
force bent upon aggression" and he
has sought to heap ridicule on Mr.
Eisenhower. Similarly, but with even
less restraint, Foreign Minister Gromyko
has wound up his U. NJ appearance with
a news conference in which he has
branded the United States as "an enemy
of peace" and repeated his earlier out
rageouS remarks accusing our country
and the President of "perfidy' and
"treachery." Meanwhile, of course, the
people of the USSR have not been
allowed to hear our American answers
to these lies; all broadcasts from the
West have been jammed; the USSR once
again has been electronically sealed
off from the truth.
In these circumstances, even though
East-West negotiations are continuing
in Geneva on nuclear tests and disarm-
ament, it is highly. improbable that
there will be an early Affirmative re-
Sponse to the U. Ms call for a reSump-
tion of high-level Big Four talks "as
soon as possible" Certainly, as a
result of the, generally abusive and
mendacious KhruShchev-Gr Gromyko at
tackS on our Government and on Mr..
Eisenhower personally, the questionable
art of summitry has suffered a severe
setback, and the next President of the
United States is not likely to resort to
it in hurry. Indeed, he is not likely
to resort to it at all unless the Krem-
Inns current tune undergoes COM
plete change for the better and unless
prior diplomatic preparation offers firm
assurances that another eads-of-gov-
ernment meeting will really produce
some good.

eign lands. Your son or grand
son will not stop to ask his
ally in a future war whether
he comes from a dictatorship.
Since when is our country
so strong militarily that we
can pick and choose our allies
as we please and cast the rest
aside to be drawn into the
Communist bloc? I think our
President knows about this,
because he has had to fight
for and against most of these
countries. Keep in mind that
the worlds real enemy is not
dictatorship but communism !
There is a very great differ
ence! And I don't like either
one, but it would be comfort
ing to know that someone
will help us when we get in
another fight. And Portugal
could help quite a bit, I'm
sure.

Annexation Safeguard,

Virginia Attorney General Albertis
S. Harrison has confirmed what many
citizens of Fairfax County had feared
that the proposed urban form of gov
ernment for the county would not be the
answer to all of the county's annexation
problems. He has said there is only one
sure way to protect Fairfax land from
being carved off piecemeal through an
nexation suits by adjacent Jurisdictions,
namely, by adoption of the form of gov
ernment now used in neighboring Ar
lington.
The attorney general has notified
Fairfax Delegate John c. Webb that
while the proposed urban government
plan would prevent "cannibalization" of
the county by incorporated towns with
in its boundaries, it would not be safe
guard against such suit as Alexandria
is pondering against the county. And
Alexandria is expected to ask for con-
siderable chunk of valuable land from
which Fairfax County is deriving sub
stantial tax revenues.
The State law under which Arling-
ton is governed, however, can be invoked
by any county with population of 500
or more persons per square mile At the
time of passage of the law Arlington
was the only county which was eligible
and desirous of using the plan, which
calls for a citylike government while
retaining the name and many of the
characteristics and benefits of county.
AS result of the recent census, how
ever, Fairfax County is expected to quail
ify for an Arlington form of government.
And this form provides definite protec-
ton against piecemeal annexation from
any quarter. The law says that only an
entire county thus governed may be an
nexed-an unlikely development unless
it should consent.
Merits of the various county gov
ernment forms will be discussed at a
public hearing in June. The final deci-
sion, of course, will be made by the citi-
zens of the county in a referendum yet
to be called. Thus, the future status of
the county will rest with the voters-as
it should.

No Khrushchev HELPER

1t has been said that Lyndon john
son, in refusing to join the post summit
attacks on the President, has found a
political issue. Maybe So But the Ma
Jority Leader is also taking a position
that is entirely responsible and in the
best interests of the United States.
One trouble with partisan pot shots
at the President is that the fire of
KhruShchev and company is aimed at
this country as well as at Mr.. EiSen-
hover. Witness the KhruShchev COM
ment that Americans need to be taken
down peg or two" The President may
be the primary target But the ulti-
mate objective of the Russians is to
weaken if not to destroy the position
OF the United States. This is something
which the Democratic presidential hope
fuls should keep in mind while they
maneuver, as they must, to enhance
their own prospects.
Senator Johnson, now on a West
ern tour, has stated his feelings in
blunt terms. The KhruShchev objec-
tive, he said in Idaho, sis to divide our
country and destroy the prestige of the
President, and, by God, am not going
to do his job for him."
The Texan, of course, is not opposed
to legitimate investigation of the EiSen-
hover administration handling of the
U-2 incident, nor, we assume, is he
against responsible criticism of such
blunders as have been made. But in
vestigation and criticism should serve
the ends of exposing and correcting
error; they should not be employed
for vote-getting purposes regardless Of
adverse effect on the; national welfare.
This, in essence, is what the SEN
ator from Texas is telling his Western
audiences. Perhaps it can fairly be
said that he has found an issue, since
his attitude on this matter seems to
differ from that of MeSSrs. Kennedy,
Stevenson and Symington. If so, how
ever, it very probably is an issue, or
an attitude, which will make sense to
the American people.

Sacred Soil

High in the hills of Vir-
ginia, overlooking the Capital
of a mighty Nation. lies Ar
lington. the home of our hero
dead. There beneath sacred
soil is buried an archives of
true American history. Let no
man def1le 1t with a eulogy,
for the man was never born
who could list the deeds of
valor, courage and sacrifice
that rest with those who held
love Of country so close in
their hearts. 1t is sufficient for
us, the living. to know that
they died for the greatest flag
that ever floated. "Old Glory"
God forbid that their sacri-
fees were in vain, for they
died to preserve the Ameri-
can way of life and made it
possible for us, the living, to
enjoy the pursuit of happi-
ness and live as a free people.
When passing through the
gates, of Arlington you bow
your head in silent salute
from the living to the dead.
The skies are blue, birds sing
in the trees, the warm sun
shine falls upon the Tomb Of
the Unknowns and caresSes

tance you hear the soft re-
frain Of a bugle, "Sleep, Sol
dier, Sleep" and the echo
from a firing squad dies in
the peaceful hills as another
serviceman is laid to rest.
Sleep, Soldier, Sleep" the
hell and thunder of battle
will never more awaken you;
well have you earned your
rest. Your captain sleeps
across the road from you and
many of your buddies slum-
Der nearby. Here in this pic
turesque garden there is no
rank-they are all just men
and women who served their
country-soldiers, sailors, Ma

sleeping the same sleep be-
meath the green sod, awaiting
the call from Gabriels bugle
when they shall rise again
and stand at attention for
the honor and glory of God.

Contemptuous Mr.. Castro

Cuba'S Prime Minister Castro has
shrugged off the announced ending of
our technical assistance to his country
as insignificant" and has added some
contemptuouS remarks about what we
may do with our aid money.
1t is correct, of course, that the two
programs involved-one in agriculture
and the other in civil aviation-are not
of major Importance to the Cuban eco
nomy. Their annual cost is estimated at
about 100000 and less than dozen
United States specialists are engaged in
their operation in Cuba. But while en-
phasizing that termination of the pro-
grams within 180 days should not be
interpreted as retaliation for Mr.. Cas-
tro's anti-United States words and pol
icies, administration spokesmen point
edly explained that the programs no
longer are considered in the national
or hemisphere interest of the United
States.
On this ground, it seems fitting to
question whether continued heavy sub
sidization of the Cuban sugar industry
likewise is in our national interest. I'm
der existing law, expiring this year,
Cuban sugar has favored position in
the big United States market-both in
volume and in price. BY far, sugar is
Cuba's most important cash crop and
guaranteed market at premium price
is not insignificant" to the Cuban eco
nomy.
The administration has recon-
mended that the new sugar act give dis
cretionary authority to the President of
the United States to revise quotas and
prices on sugar imports. We believe that
the President should have this author
ity, and that it should be exercised in
national and hemisphere interests.

Work for the Blind

On Saturday, May IA, your
paper published a letter by
j. Arthur johnson, Executive
Director, Columbia Light
house for the Blind. Lots of
our friends in the city have
drawn the inference from this
letter that the Columbia
Lighthouse for the Blind is
the only legitimate blind or
ganization taking orders from
home owners for products
made by the blind.
This is not the case, be-
cause the Washington Society
for the Blind is a charitable
organization that has been
operating in Washington for
the past % years. For the past
10 years we have been SELL
ing aluminium doorstep milk
boxes to all of the dairies in
the Washington area, and
have recently, within the past
two years, had blind door-to-
door statesmen selling cookie
sheets that are made only
by blind labor. These blind
statesmen also take orders for
sharpening of instruments,
including lawn mowers, scis-
Sors, and so forth. We have
one Of the most complete
sharpening work shops in the
District and an of our sharp
ening is done by blind people
who have been certified to us
by the Department of Voca-
tional Rehabilitation.
The society has always had
the reputation Of paying its
blind people a higher rate Of
income than any other blind
workshop in the world, and
we have never asked the pub
lie to contribute one cent to
our maintenance. We operate
strictly on a profit-and-loss
basis without help from any
one.
