conditions. The suit contends
that the action violates specific
laws Of 1912 and 1948 guaran-
teeing Government employees
the right to petition members
Of Congress on their working
conditions, legislation, etc.
The employe was a supervi-
sorry fire fighter at the Marine

among employees which was
mailed to Representative Shep-
pard, Democrat of California
The letter requested an investi-
cation of conditions at the
supply center by an outside
authority.
I The Marine Corps, which Is
under the Navy Department
fired the employe. charging
him with violating a Navy per-
sonnel regulation requiring the
prior approval Of the command
ing officer before an employs
can circulate a petition. The
regulation says approved peti.
tionS can be circulated outside
regular working hours.
The regulation cited by thu
Navy also states: Petitions

congressional action, eithel
current or prospective, may no
be circulated on Navy premises
at any time under any circum,
stances, because of the grave
penalties provided in the Anti

Mr.. Kennedy confirmed last
week that he is anxious" to
see Western conventional forces
strengthened, mot only in
Western Europe. but through
out the world" And while de-
nying any change in the reli-
ance on nuclear strength, he
appeared to be making a spe-
cial effort to keep the question
open.
No Change at Present
IF we do reach q change in
our reliance in new weapons,
we will make it very clear" Mr..
Kennedy said. But no such
change has been reached at
the present time"
Last June IA Mr.. Kennedy
stated his case for q conven-
tional force buildup when he
told the Senate: 1--WE must re-
gain the ability to intervene
effectively and swiftly in any
limited war anywhere In the
'world-augmenting. moderniz-
ing and providing increased
mobility and versatility for the
conventional forces and weap-
onS Of the Army and Marine
Corps. As long as those forces
lack the necessary airlift and
sea lift capacity and versatility
Of fire power, we cannot pro-
tect our commitments around
the globe-resist non-nuclear
aggressions-or be certain Of
having enough time to decide
on the use Of our nuclear
power"
1850 Book Cited
In his 1860 book, Strategy
for Peace" he dealt more di-
rectly with the nuclear issue:
Under every military budget
submitted by this Eisenhower
administration, we have been
preparing primarily to fight
the one kind Of war we least
want to fight and are least
likely to fight. We have been
driving ourselves into a corner
where the only choice is all or
nothing at all, world devaSta-
ton or suhmisSion-a choice
that necessarily causes us to
hesitate on the brink and
leaves the initiative in the
hands Of our enemies"

Washington A One-Theater Town?
By JAY CARMODY
Drama Critic of The Star

In the meantime, truth and common sense
are prepared to demolish any cynical legend
that Washington is one-theater town.
There is fractional accuracy in this. If
one is thinking of the basic commerce of the
theater the Nations Capital has but one store,
or retail outlet, for Broadway'S product This
is the National the stately 1,68O-seat theater on
street There are seasons in which it is more
than ample to bring US what an irOnist has
called the most bearable of Broadway"
Let us not indulge in acrimony, however.
Rather. while listening to the sputtering
fuse of what may turn into national cultural
explosion" let us evaluate the National as
strong thread now bright. now dull in color
in the Washington entertainment pattern.
The pattern has other threads, more ex-
citing ones.
One of these is Arena Stage, born IL years
ago in little movie house, the Hippodrome, on
X street across from the Washington Public
Library.
Next fall, Arena Stage will move into new
75Oseat theater of its own on the redevelOping
Southwest waterfront. This small jewel Of
cultural center aided by tens of thousands OF
dollars of Foundation there are five of them)
money, has national significance. Even Broad
way admits that it is the outstanding pilot pro-
ject of what likely will be Americas living
theater of the future-the resident prOfes'
siOnal company.
Two other elements of the local entertain
ment pattern hold national attention.
Evening star., 1961-03-12

living under the daily scrutiny of the
- worlds largest press corps, it is surprising
how much nonsense is spread abroad about
cultural Washington.
Yet, paradoxically much of this is rooted
in one proposal for national Cultural Center. q.
In its simplest terms, and the most real
ones, this project represents tardy Federal
recognition of the nations need for a perform
ing arts center.
What it profoundly is not, as frivolous
minds have intimated. is a crash program to
ameliorate native primitivism.
Washington is not Athens. 1t serves soci-
ETY. that is too complex and one that has been
too busy with more basic problems than sheer
artistic sheen. Nevertheless if this democracy
is to have its Athens this will be it and the time
is at hand.
Washington is the nations city. AS such,
it is living, growing, changing organism more
than ready for more and better facilities to
serve the performing arts. Just as Paris, Lon
don and Rome now possess these as they GER
tainly did not in the second centuries of their
existences.
That these are needed for the perfection
of Americas representative city does not mean
that Washington is underdeveloped intellec-
tually, artistically, and in taste.
No more so, say, than naughty New York's
Lincoln Center represents a candelabra to
light an impenetrable cultural darkness
Art needs new addresses here, there and
everywhere in this democracy.

IT'S The LATEST FAD
Teen-Agers Revolt Against Fads

The bobby Soxer has dis
appeared from the class
room. She wears nylons
now.
And the boy sitting next
to her has replaced his
scuffed white bucks with
highly polished loafers.
No longer can you spot
teen-agers by the way they
dress.
They've revolted against
the crazy fads that we're so
popular not long ago when
the sloppy look" was the
mark of youth. Now they
conform to a new obsession
dressing up.
In fact, a disdain for fads
has itself become the latest
fad.
Just take look at a
group of m e ticulously
groomed high school stu
dents standing at a bus
stop any weekday morning.
BY the way they're
dressed you'd almost think
they were on their way to
a concert, or to church.
But they're just waiting for
the school bus.
