Lonq-T S. Financing?

become the basis for objec-
tive evaluation by the voting
public in subsequent Presi-
Dental and other elections.
Perhaps then our selection Of
men and parties could be
achieved by intelligence and
objectivity rather than by
emotional and fringe consid-
erations.
There will be some who will
quickly say that the more
broadly applied concept of
long-term programming is
primarily theory and there
fore cannot succeed. At the
moment it is mostly theory,
but our constitutional form
of government was also
theory before practice and
there are few denials of the
effectiveness of our govern
mental form, even acknowl-
edging the ruses and abuses
that have occurred. Many
other theories have succeeded
in the face of resistance
because dedicated men were
sufficiently bold and daring
to fight and labor for an idea.
Long term planning and fl
nancing does not and cannot
bury its head to practical
politics and the dynamics of
a changing world or pro-
gram; perfection or Utopia
may be desired but progress
cannot wait for the wholly
propitious moment.
While these ideas are not
necessarily new or bold or
daring, they are ideas looking
to Improvement in our
dynamic government and So
ciety. Since we cannot-for
our own betterment and sur
vival-stand still, we must
explore all and any means to
improve our National direc-
tion. In an era where even
exacting government may
fall prey to alien interests,
standing pat is really losing
ground.
In short, we've got to move.
We must squeeze every
worthy drop out of every
possible idea and by seeking
and achieving more effective
government for the present
and future. Long-term plan
ming and financing must be
part of the movement, and
the bloodied heads, frustra-
tions and disappointments
suffered in attaining the ends
are subordinate to the success
Of the movement.

Matter of Survival

At long last after nearly three years
OF unwise and highly risky adherence to
an unpoliced moratorium which the Rus
slams may we'll have repeatedly violated
with clandeStine shots, the United States
now has resumed nuclear tests. The
first has been officially described as "of
low yield" but presumably 1t will be
followed by several others of much
greater force. All, however, will take
place under the ground, and they there
fore will unleash no health -endangering
radioactive fallout.
AS President Kennedy has declared
In announcing the start of the resumed
program, "ThiS is in marked contrast to
Soviet nuclear tests in the atmosphere.
For these tests, although some COM
mentators have discussed the resultant
fallout in excessively alarmist terms,
undoubtedly contaminate the air around
us in way that could have potentially
dangerous long-range effect If they went
on indefinitely or If they led to all-out
competitive atmospheric testing by the
United States and allied atomic powers,
meaning specifically France and Britain.
In that respect, the callouSneSs Of
the Kremlin's suddenly proclaimed deci-
sion to shatter the moratorium and stage
above-ground detonationS ranging
up to the equivalent Of several million
tons of exploding TNT-may be capi-
talized on as propaganda point favor
ing our side, and the President has done
we'll to emphasize 1t. He has done well,
too, to reaffirm that the United States
even though the Soviet action has
forced it to resume testing for the sake
of its own and the entire free worlds
security-still stands ready to negotiate
for an adequately policed ban agreement
of the widest possible scope"
Meanwhile, unless or until some real
progress is made toward such an agree
ment, our country, now that it is once
again undertaking to test nuclear
devices for both military and peaceful
purposes, should press forward with its
Underground program as quickly as
possible, and with a sense of urgency.
More than that, If deemed necessary in
terms of the development Of such things
as the anti-miSSile missile, our testing
should be extended also to outer space
tanother area that eliminates the fall
out menace). Indeed, If essential to our
defenses against possible Soviet ad-
Vances, the testing should be carried
out in the atmosphere as we'll.
A matter of survival is involved in
all this If the Russians have been
cheating on us in the past three years,
If they have been staging secret under
ground blasts, they may have achieved
important gains in the field OF nuclear
weaponry, and their current series of
atmospheric shots may be designed to
perfect those gains (including conceiv-
ably the neutron or "death-ray" bomb.
In any case, they are not shooting off
multi-megaton explosions Just for the
fun of it, and we must test accordingly
lest we be fearsomely outclassed.

THE PASSING SCENE
Key to Hope for No More War
BY RALPH McGHL

The majority opinion seems
to be that it does not mean
war--that it is no more than
an attempt at blackmail. But
no one is sure. Inside each Of
us there is concern.
The German elections are
to be held tomorrow. An
EngliShman said there was an
apparent surge of neutralism
in Germany.
1T has been here since
1945," said a German news
man. The slogan was Me
Wieder Krieg' (No More
War;. 1t was Adenauer who
persuaded the people to
have an army and to support
it." But" he continued, "the
old fear Of war is there. 1t
is to be found especially
among the old and those who
were of age to know the war.
The German people were
stupefied by the destruction
of property and loss of life
during the war, and the
misery of 1945-46, and 1886
A."
Europe Shares Feeling
"All over Europe" he said,
there is this feeling of Me
Wieder Krieg.' A crisis such
as that in Berlin causes it
to be said in the mind, if
not with the lips. Khrushchev
knows about this fear. 1t is
one reason why he resumed
testing atomic bombs. What
is more, he is aware that no
people on earth more firmly
believe in no more war than
his own people"
What Americans must un-
derstand is that Berlin, If a
fight comes, cannot be de-
Tended with rifles and can
non. The small force there
will use atomic weapons with
which they are we'll supplied.
Those troops tthe British
and French also are there)
cannot be adequately REIN
forced with air drops of
paratroopS. They are 1l0
miles from Western territory.
They can. however, give a
most excellent account Of
themselves. They have a
stunning amount of fire
power. They have been called
"the trip wire force" or the
window pane" troops. C'To
ring the alarm, smash the
glass.~ If these troops are
engaged, then the balloon
will 60 UP. Mr.. K. knows
this. And this, presently, is
the best hope'of ME Wieder
Krieg." ..

Diplomat Neighbors

Due to all the adverse pub
licity seemingly stirred up by
one very vocal individual re-
garding chanceries being
located in the Kalorama
neighborhood. l think the
other side Of the question
should be aired.
I have lived in this area
several years-on a street
containing several chance
ries. I and all of my neigh
bors with whom I have
talked, have absolutely no
objection to chanceries as
neighbors; in fact, I find
them agreeable.
Parking has been brought
up as the big problem. Our
greatest parking problem lies
not with diplomats cars but
with those of people who
work ON Connecticut Avenue
or take the bus to shop. The
entire neighborhood has
trouble with cars owned by
apartment dwellers who park
for days without moving,
although one street virtually
eliminated this problem by
asking for "2-hour parking"
We all have trouble with
cars of one dictator" nation
but, as everyone knows, all
one has to do is to call the
State Department Protocol
Office, giving the license
number of the offending car,
and it disappears like magic
within two minutes-some-
thing YOU cannot do with an
Americans car which may
take hours to get out of your
driveway. Any trouble one
has with a diplomat is ironed
out in the same manner
without either lawyers or
courts. We never have trou-
Bile with the other diplomatic
cars. In fact, the other
chanceries resent the advan-
tages taken by the one Of
fender as much or more than
we do since not only are they
too taken advantage of but
they feel such action casts
a shadow on them also.
Some Of the great advan-
tages to our neighborhood
chanceries have offered are:
The neighborhood is very
quiet at all times definitely
so in the evening hours. And
when one does entertain,
there is no worry about noise
travelling through walls, etc.
Property values stay up even
during depresSions. The rents
stay up. Boarding houses and
rooming houses which other
wise certainly would crown
the area are non-existant.
Embassy personnel are usu-
ally of the more desirable.
well born, educated, travelled
layer of society and are in
general friendly interesting
individuals. The buildings
and surroundings, with the
possible exception of a very
few of those presently rented,
are kept quite clean.

McGM on Inteurotion

,Columnist Ralph McGill
says the integration of At
lanta schools was a "volun-
tary thing" To be sure, he
says, the courts ordered it,
but. he says, the people ac-
cepted it! l ask Mr.. McGill,
what choice did they have?
Surely the people did not
want violence. But they were
denied even a mild express
sion of protest!
I am sure not even Mr..
McGill would say the people
Of Atlanta accepted integra-
,tion because that is what
they wanted. The legislators
these people elected to repre-
sent their views, have never
enacted any integration
laws. The truth is that they
were completely coerced.
They simply surrendered in
weariness and despair. I am
sure Mr.. McGill feels a sense
Of personal triumph in help
ing to bring this about.
But what about govern
ment by consent of the gov
erned? Has the Supreme
Court declared that unconsti-
tutional, too? Granted that
segregation does not meet
the moral or sociological
standards of the Warrens
and McGillS, are the people
not free to make their choice?
Mr.. McGill accuses the
segregationiSts of falsehoods
and distortions. But, again,
he is telling his readers that
forced integration does not
involve forced association.
Under integration, white
children come into intimate
contact with Negro children
in the classroom, on play
grounds, in athletics and
physical exercise, swimming
pools, school-sponsored social
events. ct cetera. How can
they avoid a degree of associ-
alton?
Again, Mr.. McGill assures
the white people of the South
that what has occurred in
our Nations Capital can
never happen to them. But
1t seems he can neither be
honest about what is wrong
in Washington, nor what is
In store for Atlanta.

Challenge for Mr.. K.

Let's suggest that Presi-
dent Kennedy challenge Mr..
KhruShchev to allow him to
visit Russia and speak to the
Russian people by radio and
televiSio n concerning our
ideas on peace and disarma-
ment as Mr.. Khrushchev was
allowed to speak to our peo-
pie. This could do no harm,
and 1t might do much good.

The recent action of Con-
gress in approving in princi-
pie a 5-year foreign aid pro-
gram with single-year ap-
preparations provides an in
teresting precedent that can
influence the concepts Of
other Federal programs and
budgets. If Congress accepts
the logic of long-term plan
ming for foreign aid, with
the consequent hoped-for in
creased effectiveness Of the
program and fund utilization,
it is no less logical to accept
and apply the same philoso-
ply and techniques Of legis-
lation and administration to
all Federal programs and
budgets.
From the executive side.
the new 5-year planning cy-
Gle required by the Bureau OF
the Budget from Federal
agencies coincident with
budget preparation is actual
ly moving in the same direc-
ton as the foreign aid pro-
gram. However, for programs
other than foreign aid. Con-
gress has not been given the
5-year program objectives
nor the total 5-year dollar re-
quirement. In the interest OF
more effective and objective
government, further develop
ment and usage of long-term
goals associated with budget
needs should be encouraged.
In broad outline. this would
necessitate a total dollar tag
for the program years, an
Identification Of program OBJ
jectives to be accomplished
for each year Of the pack
age" as well as individual
year budget essentials to sup
port the single year effort.
Congress would retain control
of the purse strings by ap-
propriating on an annual
basis, and would retain the
prerogative of evaluating
substantive programs of the
executive in both a before
and after perspective.
Conceivably, this approach
might ultimately be refined
to a 4-year program budget
basis related to the existent
administration. The Nation
would thus have an admin
istration translating election
platforms and promises into
action programs and dollars.
The success or failure of an
administration to realize
stated goals and costs would

BONN, Germany - There
were eight newspapermen
about the table. Five coun-
tries we're represented. On
the table were drinks-beer,
whiskey, coffee, wine, min
eral water. The talk WAS of
Berlin and that mysterious
thing we call the future. The
conclusions were more varied
than the nationalities or the
beverages.
Europe likes a theory about
the atomic tests. 1t yearnS to
believe that Nikita Khru-
shchev has ordered nuclear
explosions resumed to pre-
vent the rise Of a military
force in his own country
which might give ear and
power to the old Stalinist
enemies of Mr.. K. This theory
originated in Marshal Titos
Belgrade and the meeting of
the neutralist nations.
Mr.. K. does have enemies
within the Kremlin. 1t is pos
Sible a military clique might
develop there. This is true of
any totalitarian country. The
development of military
cliques can endanger any ma
ton. This is precisely why
many Americans are disturb
ed by the growing number of
their army and navy officers
who have been making so
many speeches in which, un-
der the guise of opposing
communism, they have been
espouSing political positions.
We sensibly provide for civil
ian control.
1t is true, too. that the
Russian atomic tests are ap-
proved by the Red Chinese.
They also are a force oppos-
ing Mr.. K.
Avoidance of Reality
But the theory is a little
too pat. There is such an
obvious wish to believe that
the situation is not so danger
GUS as it seems, that one is
disturbed. It is the old, old
story Of trying to avoid
reality.
An American present re-
called the tale of the man
who had caught a catfish. AS
he took the wiggling fish off
the hook he said, BE still,
little catfish. All I'm going to
do is gut you and eat you"
1t was suggested that Mr.. K
has invented the story that
he doesn't really mean any
thing by his gruesome atomic
tests, All he means to do
is gut us.
