Non-PoIiticoI Job

1t took more than two years of
searching to find chairman of the
National Capital Planning Commission
with the qualifications of A. M. Wood
ruff, who was appointed to the Job Just
nine months ago. Now, because he is a
registered Republican, the decision has
been made at the White House to re-
place Mr.. Woodruff as chairman, pre-
Sumably with good" Democrat.
We hope that the greater concern at
the White House, however, is to find
good chairman. Surely, if any
appointment in Washington should be
above politics, this is it. For the chair
man of the N. G. P. c., If he is to do his
job right, must be completely free from
preSSureS and obligations of any sort.
Although the occasions fortunately have
been rare, this has not always been the
case, and the stature and effectiveness
of the commission has suffered irrep-
arably as a result.
Meanwhile, even though he is re-
placed as chairman (and apparently
this is in the cards after the expiration
of the term Of Republican Claude w.
Owen april 30), Mr.. Woodruff should be
retained on the commission as a men,
Der. 1t is understood that Mr. Owen Is
not interested in reappointment. But
Mr.. woodruff Is willing and anxious to
continue. We believe he has demon
strated just the sort of fair, open
minded and practical qualities which
are needed.

the speculative interest in the mark.
The marks attraction has been a factor
in the outflow Of American gold that
has accompanied our balance-of- pay
mentS deficit. While some authorities
on international exchange already are
expressing fear that the S per cent
change is not enough to correct the
basic problem, theoretically it should
bring a nominal rise in the price of
German exports and parallel decrease
in prices of German imports. The
Dutch action, taken primarily to keep
that country in step with its biggest
trading partner, should have similar
effect-with both having some helpful
impact on our own export-import trade
AS for the steps taken here, they
promise only a limited Chipping away"
at the payments problem. On the scale
proposed, the voluntary reductions in
overseas spending, for example, would
amount to about $100 million yearly in
deficit record that has been running
well over So billion. Even so, it is
obvious that cure for this problem will
not be achieved through any single
action here or abroad Our own Govern
ment still is seeking other ways to act
unilaterally and still more that might be
done through negotiation with our
allies. Meanwhile, even limited ac-
compliShment and cooperation are
helpful.

Nation of Monuments

I read with some conster-
nation the article concern
ing Secretary Of Interior
Udall'S reaction to the erec-
ton Of q monument in hon.
or Of General Lee. Is there
to be no end to these over
sized tombstones, the con-
struction Of which devours
such a large proportion of
the taxpayers hard-earned
money? With our deficit such
as it is. it would seem to me
that the money rslegated to
this particular task could be
better spent. Some persons
are so carried away by their
efforts to immortalize the
dead, that they are not even
taking the wishes Of the de-
ceased into consideration; lie.
the proposed monument for
Franklin D. Roosevelt. A
rather apt quotation from
Lockridge'S "Raintree Coun-

finger. but the Republic can't
remember anything without
piling UP several hundred feet

First Robin

Every year the sight Of
ones first robin brings a Ger
tain thrill; it means spring is
on its way and not too far off.
But this year the first robin
had an even greater message.
1t was a symbol Of courage
and faith after a very rough
winter. The saucy, bright
look from alert eyes and the
jerky hop over the still-cold
and damp ground reflected
courage to brave the chill of
late winter before the gentle
warmth Of the springtime.
1t reflected faith in leaving q
warmer climate knowing that
spring would come. Only q
tiny robin. But it made me
forget the deep SHOWS, dig
ging out cars, brushing ice
from windshields, the tire
some on and off of boots, the
splash Of dirty slush and
water on freshly cleaned
clothes. The little feathered
creature seemed to be Gods
messenger saying, Forget
yesterday; don't fear tomor-
row."

Jobs for JobIess

It Is time to take another
look and re-evaluate the un-
employment problem before
further relief Is doled out. I
am wholly in accord in Civ
ing relief to the sick and
aged, but where is the logic
in giving relief to unemployed
when work is available? For
example. when a city like
New York finds it necessary
to curb auto driving, except
In emergencies. during the
heavy snow storm, or where
streets are so broken up, or
even flooded areaS-a major
catastrophe presents itself.
Every municipality should
keep a register or roster of
unemployed, and when some
thing arises which affects
the health and welfare Of
the area, the unemployed
should be made available and
directed to perform at least
a part-day service.
To go even further, the
unemployed in the coal min
ing regions or because of
automation should be mi
grated to areas feeling the
pinch for quick emergency
relief-setting up temporary
quarters and field kitchens.
Any unemployed refusing to
work under these conditions
should be automatically
dropped from any relief and
their status changed from
unemployed to refusal to
work. Even during the most
prosperous years, there were
always about two million
who refused to do work for
one reason or another, and
now-with the dole handed
out - many people work
awhile and then take a
vacation calling it "unem-
ployment" and accepting the
dole.
Practically all Of the un-
employed could be utilized
in building shelter areas
throughout the cities, for
what good Is a balanced
budget, II we are not pre-
pared to meet a surprise
attack?

Un-Americon!

I am very concerned about
q pet-limit ordinance being
proposed to the Montgom-
cry County Council. This
ordinance which does not
apply to fish or birds, or
Montgomery Countians who
have two or more acres of
land. is a test of the United
States.
Did the early pioneers fight
in vain only to have people
passing laws saying, "You
can only have this number
of pets" Or did they fight
for freedom? Freedom in
cludes the right to have an
unlimited number Of pets,
doesn't it? People support
ing this ordinance will give
you excuses upon excuses.
Some will be good. But most
can be solved with a differ
ent solution. And freedom is
far more important, isn't It?
Nobody should be able to say
you can only have three
pets, which is what the
ordinance is saying.

There are animals with

They walk on their heads.
They move by jet propulsion

them fire phosphorescent
rockets from their bodies.
They are capable of more

They range in size from
midgets that can perch on
the end of a finger to giants
weighing more than q ton.
About $50 species thus far
have been identified around

They represent a distinct
line followed by evolution on
this planet. They might be
representative of its progress
on some other planet in some
other solar system.
Probably Defensive
Most remarkable, says DR..
Lane, is the ability to change
color automatically in ac-
cordance with environment.
This is due to tiny pigment
cells called chromatophores,
filled with different colored
pigments imbedded in the
skin. BY expanding or con-
tracing these, thus spread
ing or reducing the pigment,
color changes flow through
the skin. The color change
is almost immediate. It in
wolves says one authority, "a
complexity of communica-
tions and controls such as
are present in the modern
electric sign over whose sur
face an ever-changing de-
sign can be made to pass"
The remarkable lumines-
cence also probably is defen-
sive in purpose, says DR..
Lane. and Furthermore makes
the cephalopods among the
most beautiful creatures in
the animal kingdom.

Chipping Away at Deficit

Weekend announcements in three
free world capitals offer further en-
couragement of at least modest near
term improvement in our unfavorable
acknowledgements position.
In Bonn, on Saturday, the West
German government announced 5 per
cent increase in the exchange value of
the Deutsche-mark In The Hague, on
the following day, the Netherlands
government announced a similar re-
valuation Of the Dutch guilder. In
Washington, there was a series of moves
including State Department order
relaxing the barriers to foreign n-tourist
travel to the United States, a Defense
Department order ending trans-ocean
transportation at Government expense
OF fore1gn-made automobiles purchased
by servicemen overseas, and a new call
from the White House for a voluntary
reduction in overseas spending by both
military and civilian personnel Of the
defense establishment.
The West German move was not
made expressly, or at least not ex-
clusively for the benefit of the dollar
1t has been recognized for some time
that the exchange value of the mark,
f1xed Immediately after World War II,
has been below its true value in the
light Of the spectacular economic re-
covery in West Germany. This under
valuation has, in itself, helped the
booming West German export trade but

Three Of your correspon-
ents are apparently very
happy with integrated neigh
borhoods. After reading their
letters I am not sure whether
they all actually live in such
neighborhoodS, or whether
they just feel it is fine for
somebody else. If they are
as happy as they indicate,
and so anxious to practice
brotherhood" and peaceful
co-existence, I am sure the
opportunities afforded by my
experience would have made
them ecstatic.
Five years ago I moved
from what had once been a
quiet, friendly and well-kept
section Of Washington be-
cause living conditions had
become intolerable. Upon
the death Of an elderly gen.
tleman who had been a next
door neighbor, his property
was sold and thereafter oc-
cupied by two adults, six
children. and some assorted
relatives. A neat lawn be-
came a barren eye-sore;
trash, litter, empty bottles
and cans were the exterior
decor; all-night brawls were
frequent; and the plight of
two neglected and underfed
dogs confined to a small con-
crete area in the backyard
forced me, out Of pity, to call
the SPCA. Would your three
correspondents have been
able to exercise the princi-
Piles Of brotherhood" under
these conditions? The ex-
odus from Washington in
past recent years would lead
me to believe that my exper-
fence was not an isolated
one. Whether one likes or
dislikeS integrated neighbor-
hoods all depends on where
one is sitting. OF course
these three correspondents
are entitled to their opinion
in the matter. So am I.

Wait and See

In his ettort to eliminate job dis
elimination in companies doing business
with the Government, President Ken
nedy probably has gone as far as it is
possible to go without obtaining legisla-
tion. Certainly his new Committee on
Equal Employment Opportunity will
possess infinitely greater powers than
its predecessor agencies; powers, in
fact, which are virtually unrestricted.
But whether even these will accomplish
the commendable purposes set forth is
another matter-one on which no judg-
ment can be made now.
Certainly the toothleSS provisions of
the Executive Order dealing with labor
unions are one glaring and basic area
Of weakness.
AS in the case of the now-defunct
Eisenhower Committee on Government
Contracts, private contractors (and
through them, subcontractorS) are to
be held solely accountable for avoiding
discrimination. Under the new rules,
however, they must also do much more.
They must take affirmative actions"
among which are to publicize anti
discrimination policies in seeking lob
applicants, and to file periodic state
mentS that they have in fact complied
with more rigid anti-discrimination
clauses which henceforth will be a part
Of Government contracts. For failure
to comply, either the committee or the
contracting agencies may apply sane
tions which include the automatic
cancellation of contracts and the
forfeiture Of the right to other Federal
contracts.
All too often in the past, however,
the fault has been not with contractors,
but with the fact that their labor force,
through collective-bargaining arrange
ments, has been provided by unions
which practice racial discrimination in
their own ranks. Mr. Kennedy has
instructed his committee to use "its best
efforts" to end these practices, through
such measures as inveStigative hearings
and reports Of complaint to local and
State agencies.
The trouble, Of course, is that these
efforts at best can only discourage; they
cannot require anything. And the
contractor (as in the case Of the dispute
last year over the hiring Of Negro
electricians to work on Government
buildings in Washington) is left in the
same position as before This is a matter
which Labor Secretary Goldberg-who
actually will boss the new program
will have to deal with as he sees fit.
1t is the hope of Vice President
Johnson, the chairman of the COM
mittee, that sanctions and penalties may
be sparingly used, that discrimination
may be averted through methods of
conference, conciliation, mediation and
persuasion" Well, that also was the
hope Of the old Committee on Govern
ment Contracts. Perhaps, as Mr.. Ken
nedy has suggested, the failure Of the
old committee resulted from the lack
of adequate enforcement powers which
could be called into play If necessary.
Whether they have been supplied now
remains to be determined by experience.
