Cuban Exile

Joseph 1. Puente, in his
reply to my recent letter,
has made a grievous mistake.
Without any basis in fact
whatsoever, he has wrong
fully accused mt of being a
member of Cuba's ruling
ariStocracy" who is trying
to recover social status" "
Obviously, he misread and
miSinterpreted my letter, by
depicting me as an ex-rich
landholder who has lost all
to Castro and is now scream
ing for the United States to
do something.
Quite the contrary, I exiled
myself during the Batista
regime, and I had nothing to
lose when I left my homeland
except the right to continue
my education at the Univer-
sity of Habana (which was
closed by Batista. 1 left

Of CaStro'S firing squads, for

say is he was truly a master

fooled us all, and we should
face this fact, unpleasant
though it may be. Castro was
not a product of the poor
people. Everyone in Cuba
knows that Castro was the
product of all-rich. middle

betrayed them all. Mr..
Puente is right in asserting
that the days of hunger and
luxury living side by side are
over in Cuba. Indeed, now it

School Essentials

Ihe Willingness Of cabinet
officers and other members
of the administration to serve
as trustees" for the Federal
City Council is extremely
gratifying. These are men
who have shown on a nation
al scale their recognition of
the Importance of the indi-
vidual; and it is to be hoped
that in advising on means for
making Washington a model
city" they will lay emphasis
on our human resources. AS
a native Washingtonian,
deeply concerned over the
years with our city's develop
rnent, it is we'll to know that
we are. hopefully, forging
ahead.
However, the most dra-
matte architecture, the most
efficient transit service can
not make a show place" of
our town while we remain far
behind in the services we
offer our citizens of tomor-
row. Basic to the improve
ment of our city is the i'm
provement of our school sys-
TEN.
Our school administration
and our board of education
are fighting for those essen
tials necessary to the effec-
tive functioning g of our
schools: For smaller class
sizes, for school libraries
manned by professional Ii
brarians, for counselors to
assist teachers in solving
their students problems.
These are baSicS! Our teach
erS can not teach with ulti-
mate effectiveness in over
crowded claSsroo S, dis
tracted by one or more prob
lem" children. Nor can boys
and girls learn effectively if
they are confined to text
books and small classroom
book collections or the
need to wait until after
school hours to seek informa-
ton in a public library. More
than go per cent of secondary
schools and almost half of
the elementary schools in the
Nation already have central
school libraries stated by
professional school librarians.
Washington schools are oper-
ating on crutches without this
basic teaching tool.
Let us make ours a truly
model" city by seeking be-
hind the facade of externals
the essentials. Let us give
all our children an oppor-
tunity for quality education.
Let us clear our slums, build
our cultural center, our new
stadium, our new roads
these are vital, but not as
vital as building our children
into good, well : educated
adults!

The drilling will be made
practical, DR.. Timofeyev says,
by a new kind of diamond
drill which has been de-
Veloped by Soviet scientists
and now is undergoing tests.
One of the most important
problems solved by workers
at the institute, according to
the report, has been that of
the replacement of steel
pipes with pipes made from
light alloys which will be
very heat-resiStant. The COL
umn OF pipe made from some
OF these alloys, according to
the reports, will not only be
three times lighter than
steel but will have greater
strength. At great depths
these qualities take on par
ticular significance.
Such depths. says the re-
port, never have been at
tanned up to now anyhere on
earth.

WATCHING THE WORLD
By CROSBY S. MOVES
How Neutral Would NeutroIs Be?
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

shchev freely admits, cares
not two boots what anyone
may think or say about its
own vital interests. On the
other hand, they hope-and
events encourage the hope
that Western policy in Berlin
or elsewhere can be practical
ly paralyZed by it's subordina-
ton to the collective will of
the uncommitted peoples of
the world.
Prime Minister Nehru's re-
cent analysis of the situation
in Berlin is an Illuminating
case in point. His subsequent
retraction and "clarifica-
tions" have not changed the
central point of Mr.. Nehru's
original speech to the Indian
Parliament: So far as he is
concerned the allies in Berlin
haven't much of a legal leg to
stand on. Whereas, he says
THE Soviet and East German
authorities could very well
argue that they have the
right to regulate and control
the movement from East
Berlin to the West Berlin
area"
Silent on Justification
The legal argument was all
that interested Mr.. Nehru.
Whether the Communist ac-
ton in Berlin was justified or
not was another matter
a matter on which Mr.. Nehru
as a good neutralist would
never venture an opinion.
When a good neutralist con-
dennis a political action on
moral or humanitarian
grounds it is almost invar-
iably the West which is con-
demned. Such arguments ap-
piled to the Eastern bloc are
recognized as a pure waste of
breath.
When it comes to neutralist
opinion on Berlin, however,
there are other factors which
the West can ignore only at
its own peril. Few neutralist
leaders feel in any way d.
rectly concerned with the cold
war struggle in Western Eu-
rope. The overwhelming i'm
portance of Berlin in this
struggle is for them a matter
OF little interest except as
it may affect events in their
own areas.
In the Berlin crisis these
neutralist leaders see pri-
marily the danger of a show
down between the United
States and Russia which may
involve them in a general
war. Their obvious interest
is to prevent this showdown
at all cost. And the obvious
way to do it is to bring about
the capitulation of one or
the other of the two parties.
Since as a matter of ex-
perience and logic they can
expect to have little leverage
on the Russian policy, the
neutraliSt effort very predict
ably from now on will be to
undermine and weaken the
Western position in Berlin.
To the extent that this effort
is allowed to influence West
ern policy the going is sure
to get rougher as time goes
on. Those who look to the
neutralistS as arbiterS in the
Berlin dispute are due for the
SaddeSt Of aWakeningS.

/ proposed to the Cover
nor's Redistricting Study
Commission that where there
are multiple General Assem-
bly, seats in a district to be
voted on by the people, each
seat should be given a num-
ber designation. Candidates
would then file for seat /, or
seat 2, etc. Each candidate
would be voted upon by the
electorate of the district.
This system has two prin-
cipal ADVANTAGES. First, it
gives the people the right,
where there is a clear-cut
contest for a seat, to choose
which one of the candidates
they prefer. In that manner
the record or position of a
particular candidate can be
placed in issue. Under the
present system a contestant
or contestants run against
the field and it becomes q
popularity contest.
Second, it assures, so far
as is possible to do so, that
the person who is elected is
elected by a majority of the
voters. Unfortunately, where
there are multiple seats at
stake, 1t is not only possible
but likely that some of the
candidates may win without
having received a majority of
the votes. This situation is
open to all kinds of abuse.
Mr.. Lynch's plan Of doing
away with multiple seats for
an area, and dividing the
State into 100 different dis
trictS would accomplish the
same results of pinpointing
the issue and assuring, so far
as possible, that the elected
delegate would be elected by
a majority of the vote. OF
course, if there were multiple
candidates for a single seat
a person with a minority of
the votes could win. Never
theless, it would be an i'm
provement over the present
method.
Mr.. Lynch's plan is Su-
perior to mine in one respect.
1t enables delegate to rep
resent a fewer number of
people. This is desirable for
obvious reasons. 1t is like
wise desirable for the candi-
date. His problem Of reach
ing the voters and costs Of
campaigning are considerably
less. The salary of a delegate
for two years service is ST.
080. The cost of a campaign
in Arlington almost always
exceeds that amount.
The back to Mr..
Lynch's plan is that it has
even less chance than mine
OF being adopted, and I don't
think either will be accepted,
though a start should be
made for this reform.
Undue emphasis has been
given to the possibility that a
racial minority candidate
would stand less chance of
being elected under the as
signed seat plan. The demo-
cratic principle of election by
a majority of the voters is
valid whether the person
running is candidate of a
third political party, the can
didate of a racial group, or
the candidate of an economic
group. 1t is always desirable
that a representative of the
people be elected by a ma
jority Of those voting.

ginia House of Delegates.

Public Aid Problem

AS a social worker I want to
express my concern about
the current discussion of
public welfare. In the con-
sideration of the operations
Of the D. C. Department of
Public Welfare, l believe that
it is most important to be
aware of the whole public
assistance situation. The
following aspects need serious
community consideration and
action:
Cd The pitifully low al
loWances for families. These
allowances often retard
rather than facilitate social
rehabilitation.
~ The frequency Of seri-
GUS medical problems among
public assistance recipients
and the infrequency of ade-
quate, continuous, and COM
prehensive medical services.
90 The high caseloads
carried by public assistance
workers, the effects Of which
are demoralizing to clients
and staff.
"a The lack of oppor-
tunity for public assistance
workers to visit families
frequently enough, based on
client needs. This is eSpeci-
ally important in terms of
motivating socially handi-
capped clients toward self
maintenance.
(5) The lack of training of
public assistance staff. 1t
is completely contradictory to
complain of abuses" in
public welfare and at the
same time to urge that high
school graduates can do the
job adequately. Meeting the
complexities of human. need
requires professional social
work training, If the job is
to be done we'll.
90 Lack of effective CO.
operation and collaboration
between public and voluntary
agencies.
Cd Destructive community
attitudes toward public as
siStance recipients. One
does not hear often enough
of the recipient who has
been rehabilitated to pro-
ductiVe and satisfying-and
taXpaying-citizenShip.
1t is most important to
stress the responsibility of
each citizen for his own
welfare. 1t is equally import
ant to emphasize our re-
sponsibility to each other
and to acknowledge when
help is needed to assist those
who are temporarily or
permanently unable to main
tain themselves.
In the current hearings on
the D. C. Department of
Public Welfare budget, it
would be more constructive
for our legislators to examine
the whole situation, some
elements of which are out
lined above, rather than to
focus on pieces which do not
make sense unless seen in
the light of the purpose and
meaning and current pro-
vision of public assistance.
Public assistance recipients.
are not outcasts. They are
still full-fledged members Of
our community and we can
not dismiss or dilute our OBJ
legation to assist them ade-
quately and competently in
their time of need.

Assistant Professor of
Social Work, Catholic Uni
versity of America.

What is the logic back
OF the proposal to reduce
public assistance grants to
large families by So a child?
The chairman of the District
Appropriations Subcommit-
tee of the Senate has de-
clared he is interested in
fin ding and eliminating
"free-loaders" on the relief
rolls but that it is not his de-
sire to cut the welfare budget
at any point where a cut is
not deserved. One may we'll
ask whether cut based on
family size is deserved. Is
one to assume that free

are one and the same?

PARIS.
1t is hard to think Of any,
thing sillier than the idea
which seems to be gaining
ground in some parts that the
neutral nations of the world
may have an important role
to play in resolving the cur
rent crisis in Berlin.
This seems. in fact. to have
been a major preoccupation
of some Western leaders since
the crisis began. The neu-
trails, it was said, could play a
restraining role on Russia in
Berlin. The legal justifica-
tions Of the Western position
there would impress them.
Their reactions are consid-
cred important in the ques-
ton of whether or not to
engage Russia in early nego-
tiations. Above all, the out
come Of the neutralist con-
ference which opens this week
in Belgrade is being watched
with nervous concern.
There are, of course, those
who have an unShakable faith
in the collective wisdom of
neutral nations to solve almost
every problem raised by the
cold war. There are those
who hold quite seriously to
the proposition that the
United States has no interest
in the world more vital than
the good opinion of uncom-
mitted peoples. Nothing may
be done which risks Offend
ing the least Of them. In
every case when the interests
Of great powers clash some
are quite willing to submit
the issue to mediation, if not
arbitration, by neutrals in the
United Nations and elsewhere.
Up to this point the great
powers have been willing to
go quite far in this direc-
tion. The Russians. as we'll
as the Western powers, have
been eagerly lining up neu-
traliSt support over the
problem of Berlin. They have
actively encouraged its in
Scription on the agenda of
the coming Belgrade con-
ference. And they have in
vited a number of prominent
neutralist leaders, including
Ghana'S Kwame Nkrumah
and India's Jawaharlal Nehru
to Moscow during this critical
period.
Reds More Realistic
On the question of neu-
tralist influence, however.
the Russians are a good deal
more realistic than some
Westerners. Lionization in
Moscow Of SUGGESTIONS of
Asian and African leaders has
never had the remotest eff
feet on the formation of
Russian policy. The awarding
OF Lenin Peace Prizes has
never entered into the calcu-
lation of basic Russian
interests.
On the contrary, the Rus
slams initiate the Importance
OF neutral nations in the ex-
pectation that neutralist in
fluence will work to their own
advantage. They know and
most neutralist leaders know
1T too-that Russia is risking
nothing in this process since
