The First Institutional Bap-
tist Church choirs presented
their End monthly musical pro-
gram last Sunday evening at
the church, 1141 E. Jefferson
Street.
The ChoralierS, who were
absent from the first monthly
program, made a great contri-
button to this one.
The Youth Choir gave glee-
full renditions of their numbers.
The famous Male Chorus in
spired with their selections, as
also did the ever faithful Sen
ior Choir.
A very responsive congrega-
CATION was present to hear this
musical program, which seems
to bring larger and larger au-
diences each 4th Sunday. The
general public is invited to
these programs.

Point of No Return

New York Ctty'S Mayor Robert
Wagner and Tammany leader Carnine
De Sapio appear to have reached a
point of no return in their increasingly
personal and bitter political feuding.
Aside from the meaning of this in terms
of their individual futures In Demo-
cratic Party ranks, 1t also could have
major effect on city, State and even
national political fortunes in the years
Immediately ahead.
There are, of course, many cross
currents In the intra-party fight which
began to draw national attention when
New York was electing Governor and
one United States Senator in 1858. It
was then that So-called reform group
headed by former Senator Lehman and
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt mounted their
first serious challenge to Mr.. De Sapio,
on grounds of "bossism." At that time
there was outSpoken resentment over
the De Sapio influence in gaining the
Senatorial nomination for District At
torney Frank Hogan. Mr.. De Sapio has
identified Mayor Wagner with his oppo-
sition at that time, and, even though
rift undoubtedly played its part in the
important Republican victories Of Nelson
Rockefeller as Governor and Repre-
sentative Kenneth Keating as Senator.
The feuding went on through the 1860
campaign, and reached its current peak
when Mayor Wagner demanded some
ten days ago that Mr.. De Sapio quit his
post as chairman of the New York Demo-
cratic County Committee. The Tam
many leader has refused, and in tele-
vision broadcast last Sunday struck
back in blunt personal terms at both
Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. Lehman.
In recent times heavy Democratic
majority in New York City has been
essential to statewide victory for Dem
ocratic candidates and for winning the
States electoral votes for the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket. New York
City elects a mayor this year, an off,
year for national voting, and in 1862 the
governorShip and another Senate seat
will be at stake. The governorShip has
particular significance, of course, as far
as Mr.. Rockefeller's political future and
his prospects for Republican presi-
dental nomination are concerned. In
due time, in 1854 to be more exact, what
happens in the near future in the big
city feud may have bearing on who
lives in the White House after January
20, 1865. Mr.. Wagner and Mr.. De Sapio,
accordingly, are assured Of an extremely
interested bipartisan audience as they
fight this one out.

ton, have exhausted their benefits.
Assistance for these people is not avail
able under public welfare programs.
Charitable agencies, in order to spread
their limited funds as far as possible,
are screening applicants for aid with
extraordinary care.
The first letters in direct-mail
campaign will go to some 1900 Wash
ington area residents today, but the
UGF urges that others also make such
contributions as they can to the 'UGF
Emergency Appeal" 11O1 M street NV,
Washington, D. C. This is worthy
purpose, and we hope that the modest
goal of $4,000 is quickly attained.

Emergency Appeal

The emergency appeal just launched
by the United Givers Fund to raise
money for needy families is unique in
several respects. It is the first time
that UGF has departed from its once-a-
year drive. For the first time, also, every
cent contributed will be turned over
to the seven participating private
charity agencies, with UGF absorbing
the administrative costs of the limited
drive.
BY the same token, the necessity for
the drive itself springs from real
emergency. Many of those in need of
assistance have been thrown out of work,
especially in the construction field, by
the severity Of the winter. Others, who
are eligible for unemployment compensa-

AbpeoI to the People

President Kennedy has put his
public support to the test In his news
conference discussion of the admins
tration'S anti-receSSion program and
his call for prompt congressional action.
In effect, the President, in his opening
statement on this subject and his addi-
tional comment in response to questions,
was going over the head Of the Congress
In Q bid for grass roots support This
is . technique that has been used fire.
Quehtly by Presidents, sometimes with
good results. It is also gamble because
II public support fails to materialize
Congress will be quick to assume that 1t
is under no real pressure from the home
folks to get on with the job.
Actually, Mr.. Kennedy probably is
on sound ground in this case. While the
high unemployment is more Spotty than
uniform around the country, and while
some lines of business and industry are
not really suffering, there is more than
enough jobleSSneSS to warrant national
concern. On the whole, the Presidents
proposals, particularly those which
would provide near-term temporary
OI1IIIu1dG1OIl w GA1C CCO1LOAly1 4AdFC DCCA
moderate and deserve congressional ap-
proval. The proposed extension of I'M
employment compensation benefits and
steps to help genuinely distressed areas
are examples of moves which the Federal
Government should be empowered to
make. BY executive action, the Presi-
dent already has set in motion other
useful meaSureS-such as increasing
the amount Of foodstuffs available for
distribution to the needy, earlier-than-
scheduled disbursement Of tax refunds
and veterans insurance dividends, and
q speed-up on public projects already
authorized and for which funds are
q available.
In a different category are recon-
mendations for longer-term welfare
purposes. Proposals in this category
are not really recession remedies, and
hasty enactment might be more harm
full than helpful to the overall economy.
The President has said that fresh
Judgment will be made by his admins
tration on the state of the economy in
April. In the meantime, Congress should
expedite those limited steps designed
to help the needy joblesS.

Federal Share

The proposal OF Budget Bureau
officials that the Federal Government
assist financially in the development Of
a more effective Snow-removal program
in Washington is gratifying. It also is
entirely proper, for the Government
and its thousands of employees ESQ many
of whom live in the suburbs and pay
no taxes in the DiStrict) would certainly
be among the principal beneflciaries.
The Governments interest of course
is in seeing to it that its employees can
get to and from work; the reduced
efficiency of Government through losses
in man-hours during our recent storms
is matter of understandable concern.
From the Districts viewpoint, however,
it is these same employees who largely
are responsible for the problems con-
nected with snow removal.
Yet the District so far this winter,
according to the latest. estimates, has
run up Snow-removal bill Of SIT million
Excluding some 100000 for street re-
pairS), toward which the Federal
Government has contributed no more
than a pittance. Actually, the 1851
budget approved by Congress specified
only $150,000 for this purpose, two
thirds to come from city highway funds
and only one-third from the general
fund toward which Congress applies its
annual Federal payment. Some Of the
additional cost has been absorbed by
various city agencies. But an estimated
81 million in cash has had to be diverted
from other essential city programs to do
the Job. While it has not yet been
decided how these losses might be re-
covered, it would be no more than fair
for Congress to pick up part Of the tab
If the city should request a deficiency
appropriation later this year.
We believe that Engineer Com
missioner Clarke is right, however, in
proposing that the primary Federal
contribution be in the form Of funds to
purchase critically new snow
equipment, as Budget Bureau of1cialS
also have suggested. To say the least,
the funds annually allotted for this
purpose, ranging between $4,000 and
$4,000, are inadequate. Nor is the 81
million estimated as needed to modern
lie the equipment exorbitant.
Equipment, Of course, is not the
total solution to effective snow removal.
The major related headache, and one
now plaguing all Eastern cities, Is how
to clear streets of automobiles after
heavy SHOWS, and how to keep them clear
long enough for snow-removal equip
ment to go to work. If all these prob
lens are diligently attacked at the forth
coming Budget Bureau meetings, how
ever, there is good reason to hope that
the problems experienced this winter
on the Federal as well as the local level
may be substantially reduced In the
future.

Paul Wooton

Paul Wooton'S sudden death yeSter-

O cloSely-perSonal loss to literally scores
Of newspapermen in Washington. In
his long career here, dating from the
Wilson administration back in the teens,
he did many things for them collectively
and individually. He had served as
president Of most of their organizations.
His office kad become the busy center
Of the detailed arrangements for many
Of their organizational enterprises. He
was the natural choice when it came to
the selection Of someone to represent
them In the semi-official or purely
social gatherings of "the preSs"-includ-
ing its various components.
Yet his self-impoSed and extra-cur-
ricular activities for his own brethren,
and In other unrelated fields, never
overShadowed his own professional
standing as a competent Washington
correspondent of the New Orleans
Times-Picayune, and the dean Of busi-
ness publication representatives in the
Capital. He did many useful things.
Yet he will be remembered more by
those who knew him for what he was
than for the many things he did. He was
an unusual gentleman in his thoughtful
kindness to others, in his unselfiSh in
terest in those who needed help, in his
adoption of code Of living which came
as near to being the practical applica-
ton of the Golden Rule as mortal man
can achieve. The sudden termination
of Paul Wooton'S various activities will

On Feeding China

Whlle one may hold Billy
Graham in the highest es-
TEEN, his suggestion that we
send 100 shiploads of surplus
food to Red China deserves
careful scrutiny. No one ques-
tions the need for these
provisions. The question is
whether or not any real pur-
pose would be served If we
follow the noted evangelist's
proposal.
1t is a matter OF actual
record that despite the hun
ger of China's rank and file,
the Peiping government is
exporting food and receiving
in exchange the raw mater
ials essential to building up
a greater war-making poten-
tial. Is 1t not obvious, then,
what would be done with any
supplies we might arrange to
ship across the Pacific? -.
Instead of helping to ease
the plight Of her populace,
American provisions would
merely be substituted for
homegrown products. The
latter, in turn, could then be
exported, thus fastening the
day when Mao and his COL
leagues deem China capable
Of embarking upon additional
and still more ambitious ex-
pansionist moves at the ex-
pense Of her neighbors.

Case of 'Impudence'

it is a complicated instru-
ment. The technician re-

seems to me that neither of
these conditions will produce
desired results. Education is
something that has to be
striVen for and the results OBJ
tanned are only commen-
surate with the amount of

can do so; it is generally a

Of Governor Vandiver, Of
Deep South" Georgia, to
show why the Governor could
not expect to hold a sensi-
tive office on the national

the following statement lex
cerpted):
-. The Deep South poll
tician also faces a reality.
He must decide whether
he will conform to his States
prejudices or oppose them.
:. :" Mr.. McGill adds that
whatever political limitation
results for the politician is
e. part of his original
choice" and continues,
This Is why it is important
for the Deep South, as soon
as 1t can, to bring itself into
the mainstream Of national
life. :"
If one may have the te-
merity to bark at Sir Oracle:
Why? Are there no shades
Of gray-only black and
white? Is it that the South
erner has been a Southerner
just too long and we must
change him whether he likes
1t or not, regardless Of his in
dividuality, predictions and
preferences? Having changed
him, would Mr.. McGill be
content or would he then
start in on the Englishman,
the Frenchman. the Ger
man, ct al, because each has
been himself too long?
The columnist plays q
long-favorite game in which
the South is always the tar

for its way Of living and its
dignity still boils over be-
cause the New South inher-
tied an iota the critics can
not destroy. They'll keep
trying, these hordes of agi-
tators. Especially will the

opportunities for unemployed

stringent eligibility require
ments control access to relief

There are four layers Of
water vapor in the earth's
Stratosphere between alti-
tudes Of nine and 18 miles.
These have an important
part in the transfer of heat
energy from the tropics to
the poles and are partly re-
sponsible for the existing
heat balance of the earth.
This has been determined
by ascenSionS of balloons
and rockets carrying delicate
measuring instruments most
ly from the neighborhood of
Fort Churchill, Canada, car
ried out by the ballistics lab
oratory of the Army Ord
nance Department.
Clears Up Confusion
In the past there has been
some question as to whether
any water vapor at all could
be found in the stratosphere
and this has led to consid-
cradle confusion. Water va
por is water in very finely
diffused form. as distinguish
ed from steam. This vapor
has a strong absorption band
for radiation centering
around a wave length of 1.38
microns. "a micron is about
a 30,000th of an inch. The
difference in intensity be-
tween light of this wave
length and light from some
reference wavelength not in
any absorption band gives a
measure of the total water
vapor content between the
source of light, in this case
the sun, and the rocket.
A sun follower and an in
frared hydrometer, instru-
ment for measuring moisture,
were mounted in the rocket.
The sun follower mechanism
constantly oriented the hy-
drometer towards the sun.
This constituted a major
job for the Army in the In
ternational Geophysical Year
program and the results have
just been announced from
the ordnance center of Aber-
deem Proving Grounds, Mary
land.
The Army also carried out
extensive experiments on
variation of the magnetic
field of the earth at various
attitudes and also the visible

Grateful to Tydinqs

Your editorial "Millard E.
Tydings" pays just tribute to
a great American. He was a
man of principle and Of con-
viction. He fought for that
which he believed right, no
matter what the consequences
to him personally. He was
not an opportunist. This was
never better shown than in
his advocacy of Philippine in
dependence.
Since his death I have been
reading his obituary as we'll
as the editorials eulogiZing
him and honoring his mem
ory as published in the
American press. That no
mention was made of his
service to the cause Of human
freedom as exemplified in the
bill that he authored. spon-
sored and fought for declar-
ing Philippine independence,
highlights better than any
thing I can say how often
times service that ranks a
high place in history is over
looked for that which in the
long perspective Of tomorrow
is merely transient and ephe-
neral. If Millard E. Tyd-
ings would not have had the
courage and the persistence
to work for the passage Of his
independence bill, if those
who were at the time oppos-
ing Philippine freedom in
quarters that were strong and
powerful would have sue
ceeded in subduing him. who
would have answered Nikita
Khrushchev's indictment Of
America as an imperialist
nation in the General Assem-
bly, last year with the irrefut-
able argument of the fact Of
Philippine independence?
Many nations have won
their independence after we
in the Philippines achieved
ours. Future generations will
accord to Millard E. Tydings
high honor for his dominant
role in placing his country
in the vanguard of the strug-
gle to free colonial peoples
from imposed subjection.
Long after his electoral ups
and downs in Maryland are
forgotten he will be grateful
ly remembered by millions Of
emancipated peoples the
world over who owe to his
vision and craftsmanship
that they now
walk with head erect, with
the dignity Of free men. :"
