Assurances by officials of the Ma
tional Cultural Center that its facil-
tiles will be invaluable to Washington
area cultural groups, and that they
will serve to stimulate cultural activ-
tiles here, are of course true. For
while the concept and objectives of
the center are basically national in
scope, its benefits to the Nations
Capital and its residents will be auto
matte.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
officials of the center expect the citi-
zens of Washington to make a healthy
contribution toward financing the $50
million construction of it's major ele-
ments. A Washington-area goal has
not yet been set, although a local
Embarrassing group now is being formed.
The national drive, headed by Roger
L. Stevens, also has begun, and will
pick up impetus in each of the States
early next year. In appealing to citi-
zenS throughout the country for con-
tributions, Mr.. Stevens hand will be
greatly strengthened if he is able to
assure them that fair share also will
be forthcoming from Washingtonians

damaging to the social and economic
life, then the people of an area will
be more inclined to accept freeway
construction"
Well, to say the least, this sounds
like quite an order. There is no question,
as Mr. Funk suggests, that a road like
the Capital Beltway sends land values
zooming in some areas of the country
side-eSpecially when the land is vacant
and there is possibility of commercial
or industrial development. And free
ways, as general rule, are not as
repugnant to as many people in the
suburbs as they are In the city-as long
as the route is near someone else's
neighborhood. But wherever the route
is, as many Maryland and Virginia
controversy attests, there is repugnance
in abundance.
We will await the study, which Mr..
Funk said will be completed during the
New Year, with an open mind. But If
1t results in even single citizens
association clamoring for a freeway
through its area, 1862 indeed will be a
New Year. in more ways than one.

precious thing which must
always be re-Won and pre-
served by the eternal vigi-
lance of each generation fol-
lowing. That fight is raging
now. There are still deter
mined foes without perfidy,
sabotage, political chicanery
and SubVersion within. The
Nation in this latest crisis
needs, above all, to be called
back to Valley Forge.
Literally, to that hallowed
ground recently there came
a notable company from all
parts of the Nation, on the
l84th anniversary of the ar
rival of Washington and his
men. At the center of that
inspiring group was one of
the long line of Washing
tons successors as Comman-
der-in-C Chief and President of
the Republic Dwight David
Eisenhower, who commanded
the mightlest army ever to
challenge tyranny. For his
outstanding contribution to
the life of the Nation he was
honored by the award of the
Patriot Medal. Present was a
notable array of Americans
who in this day are knights
of the Valley Forge tradi-
ton. There were generals and
admirals and high Govern
ment officials. There were
members of Congress, Su-
preme Court justices, leaders
in the business and industrial
life of the Nation, educators
and students. There were
representatives Of patriotic
organizations speaking for
millions.
With a profound realiza-
ton of the military, edu-
cational, moral and spiritual
needs in this battle for sur
vival, this inspiring cross
section of the Republics cit
izens were assembled under
the banner of Freedoms
Foundation, which is sound
ing trumpets for all America
to return to the spirit of
Valley Forge. In the present
crisis this is perhaps the most
meaningful spot in the Amer
lea now wider than the con-
tinent.
Again, unnumbered foes are
threatening this sweet land
of liberty whose charter
Washington and those who
shared his vision inscribed.
The imperiled Nation needs
as nothing else to get back
to Valley Forge. Only a re-
enaction of the undimmed
courage, accompanied with
preparation for the future
which saved us then can save
us now. This is the summons
which the growing might Of
Freedoms Foundation at Val :
ley Forge broadcasts to all
America. This organization
seeks nothing for itself or for
its leaders, selfless in their
devotion. 1t seeks a new ded-
ication to match that which
the torments of that awful
winter could not extinguish
in the heart of the Father
of His Country.
Freedoms Foundation has
but one prescription for the
problems and dangers which
today threaten every precious
thing-Back to Valley Forge!

Aid for Reiectees

Since the days OF World War II, the
high rate of reflections for military
service has been a statistically shocking
commentary on the fitness of American
youth. Currently, for example, the
Selective Service rejection rate is about
so per cent. Unfortunately, however,
these troubling statistics over the years
have led to little or nothing in the way
of constructive remedial action. The
new program announced by Secretary
Ribicoff is at least first step in this
direction.
Under this program-a joint effort
of the Public Health Service, Selective
Service and the Defense Department
State and local public health officials,
on hand at examining stations, would
attempt to secure medical care for those
rejectees who would benefit from it, in
many cases, the source of medical care
would be- family physicians. In others,
youths would be advised of opportunities
for care at public health facilities.
Initially the program would be limited
to physical disability Eventually, if
these steps prove successful, the pro-
gram might be expanded 70 cover mental
ailments.
Very probably the number of youths
who might be salvaged for later military
service would be small. That, however,
is not the primary intention. The major
goal is to achieve general improvement
of health-a goal which has value in
time of either peace or war.
Wisely, the new program will be
tested on limited basis at first, and
only if it proves successful will it be
extended throughout the country. In
any event, the effort is one we'll worth
making.

100 Years AGO

So far as the Civil War
was concerned, it was "all
quiet on the Potomac" a CEN
tury ago. At least that was
the message telegraphed from
the Capital each day to the
Unions loyal States. Pres
ident Lincoln, appearing IA
tigued and respondent, drove
himself in the multiple du-
ties Of commander-in- chief
and Chief Executive. He con-
tinued to play host at public
receptions at the White
House. diStaSteful as this
must have been to him and
even to some of the guests.
At one of these soirees, Sen
ator Orville H. Browning, an
old friend of the President,
who was appointed to sue
ceed the late Stephen A.
Douglas, had his pocket
picked-a not unusual occur
renee in the jampacked man
sion. War Notwithstanding,
Washington rang out the old
year as usual on New Years
eve. Indeed, it was a noisier
than normal occasion, what
with the military adding ex-
plosive touches. The Star of
January 3, 1862, reported
that Tennallytown, D. c.,
sounded like the site Of a
full-scale battle as troops
whooped it up. Some of our
fellows" said this papers ac-
count, with a mania for
burning gunpowder peculiar
to Young America, commenc-
ed shortly after sundown on
New Years eve to fire the
ordnance in the forts of
this vicinity (Tennallytown)
and to fire volleys of mus
kerry, which sport was kept
up all night long. This fusil-
lade. in conjunction with
that going on in the camps
south of the Potomac, was
the dreadful cannonading
which had citizens talking"
While the Federal Capital
was having it's own troubles
with thugs, drunks, berserk
troopers, prostitutes, ETC., The
Star pointed out on January
2. 1862, that the Confederate
Capital was not exactly a
model of decorum either. The

the Charleston Courier was
quoted: "Rowdyism is ram

full extent has violence in
creased, however, within a
few weeks past, in Richmond,
that this city bids fair to
become as infamous as ever
was Naples or Baltimore.
Shootings and stabbings are
almost of every day happen
ing. Yesterday a hack driver
was pistolled because he de-
manded payment in advance
of a drunken soldier for a de-
sired service. There is a tenn
pie of the Muses. here-Thel-
ia and Melpomene - known
as the Marshall Theater,
where the legitimate drama

sons. Genteel people rarely,
ladies never, enter this es-
tablishment nowadays, so
that the better portion of the
community are but little ac-
quainted with what is being
done within its walls, except
through the police reports.
Sometimes there is a real
tragedy before the curtain,
while the mock one is enact
ing on the stage, and the
whole neighborhood is rem
dered unsafe and disorderly

this and other nurseries of

Those II. N. Bonds

Although the United States for years
has been paying the lions share Of the
check the United Nations still is faced
with real financial criSis-no doubt
about that. Various countries, notably
such as Russia, France, Belgium, Portu-
gal, South Africa and most Of the Arab
states, have refused, for reasons of their
own, to help pay the costs of the U. N.
operations in the Congo and in the GAIA
strip. AS result the world organization
must contend with the prospect Of
$170-million deficit on June 30-which
means that it cannot continue to func-
ton for long unless it is pulled out Of
this financial hole.
The plan is to finance this salvage
operation by floating $200-million bond
issue, with the United States buying half
of these bonds.
Since this would require congress
sional authorization, we hope the legisla-
tors will take a long, hard look at the
proposal. 1t is possible, of course, that
these bonds, bearing 2 per cent interest
and maturing in Is years, will be paid
Off But this is unlikely, and If the United
States is to take half of them the chances
are that our purchase will turn out to
have been a $10O-million U. N. subsidy,
in addition to the subsidies we will be
paying over the years in the form of dis
proportionate contributions to the U. N.
budget.
The alternatives, however, would seem
to be either direct, open subsidy, or
to watch the U. N. 60 down the drain for
lack of funds.
There certainly is serious question
as to whether the U. NJ as now con-
stituted, is serving the lofty purposes for
which it was designed. 1t is too early,
however, for an intelligent judgment on
this point. And until the picture be-
comes clearer, it may be that sugar
coated subsidy in the form of the bond
deal, conditioned perhaps on the pur-
chase of the rest of the bonds by u N.
member states, offers the best way out
of an immediate and critical financial
dilemma.

Taxes Here and There

A recent news item over
WWDC was to the effect
that District Commissioners
Tobriner and Clarke are in
favor of taxing the pay of
those who work in the Dis
trict but do not live there.
Did it ever occur to these two
gentlemen that these same
people along with thousands
of other suburbanites do
their shopping in the District,
thereby paying for the use of
their facilities through sales
taxes and the many other
hidden taxes? If the District
had maintained a higher
standard of living at a rea-
sonable cost, these same peo-
pie might not have left. 1t
is time the District started
to clean its own house and
look for errors in its own
administration instead of
blaming everything on sub
urbanites who want a decent
living at a reasonable cost.
In case these two gentlemen
do not realize it, money is
tight everywhere. The SUBJ
urbanite is paying sufficient
for the privilege of living in
the suburbs. 4
If money is needed by the
District and also in the sub
urbs. it might be high time
someone looked into the mat
ter Of taxing the freeloaders.
There are plenty-in all areas
in the District and out. These
people live in the area two
or three years and enjoy all
the benefits but pay no taxes.
They maintain residence in
another State because of the
low tax rate there but never
have any intention of eStab-
fishing a permanent home in
that State. Neither do they
contribute anything in the
area where they live. These
are the people who should
pay the taxes if extra money
is necessary.
Please do not tax the poor
suburbia any more.

Katanga? Both these ques-
tions should be answered
without delay. No matter
what the United States Gov
ernment does or says to ex-
cuse the U. N. actions in
Katanga, feel certain the
vast majority of the Ameri-
can people do not approve.
They are too decent to do
so. They will make their dis
approval felt.
ClarksOn ]. Beall.
If the U. N.-U. S. policies"
pertaining to Katanga have
had any effect it has been
to demonstrate how wrong
the United States has been
since 1846.
When the Texans struck
for freedom, there being no
United Nations at the time,
we should have organized a
combination Of world powers
to join with Mexico in put
ting down the revolution.
Then when the Cubans be-
gan to fight their war for
independence, we should have
joined with England, France
and. of course, with Spain
to crush that fight for free
dom.
In 1897 when the Filipino
patriots under Aguinaldo
raised their ugly heads for
Philippine independence, we
should have called upon the
Russians, the Chinese and
the japanese to help us de-
stroy Aguinaldo and his pa
triot army. But as in the
instances of Texas and Cuba
we helped the revolutionaries.
Then how about the recent
war in Korea? The Commu-
nists we're fighting for "a
unified Korea" But the
United StateS-and the
United Nations - wrongly
took the side of the South
Korean freedom fighters and
shamefully prevented unifica-
ton.
But our mistakes can be
corrected. Let the Vice Pres
ident sponsor legislation to
return Texas to Mexico with
our apologies: then let the
United Nations restore Cuba
and the Philippines to Spain.
Then why not pull our troops
out of South Korea and let
the Communists have their
way?
