Share the Art Plan

Many art collectors have given
their priced possessions to leading gal
lerieS and museums, but the Samuel
H. Kress Foundations "share the art"
gifts to the National Gallery here and
to 81 other institutions are, as Presi-
dent Kennedy has said, unprecedented
in scope" and constitute a philan-
thropy Of benefit to the public at
large. The Kress collection, accumu-
lated over many years at cost Of
some $50 million, is one Of the largest
ever assembled by a private art lover
and thus was we'll adapted to being
divided for wide distribution so that
maximum number of people could view
the masterpieces. Title to the works,
many Of which already had been on
exhibition, was formally passed to the
respective galleries at a ceremony at
the National Gallery. Completion of
the distribution truly merited the Presi-
dents description of it as IAN achieve
ment of which America can be proud"

Virqinio's Tax Dilemma

Latest reports from Richmond in
dicate that another battle over taxes will
be staged when the General Assembly
meets there next month. Northern Vir-
ginia officials have said they were
reliably informed" that the new budget
to be submitted by outgoing Governor
Almond will be so large as to require
substantial increase in revenues. This
increase, they were told, will be sought
by the incoming AlbertiS Harrison ad-
miniStration through adoption Of a
withholding system Of collecting the
State income tax and a reduction in
personal exemptions. Countering this
plan will be renewed demands for
sales tax-demands which will be harder
to resist than in the past. For the plain
fact is that the sales tax has proved
elsewhere to be relatively painless way
of raising additional revenue.
Proposals in the past for a with
holding tax system have met with
vigorous opposition from business in
tereStS, largely because Of the extra work
involved. Advocates of the plan assert,
however, that 1t would produce from SO
W pAf nl1AA1OLl ulOIc IIldIl G1lC pIcScIlG
system, under which tax evasion Is not
too difficult. Both the Withholding pro-
posal and the sales tax will have oppoSi-
tion in the Legislature.
But the trend in favor of a sales tax
seems to be rising since Governor
Almond recommended 1t, without sue
cess, at the last session. The League Of
Virginia Counties at recent meeting
in Roanoke voted to support the tax and
majority of the State Capital Outlay
Commission is said to be for it. There
always is political uproar in the Assem-
bly, over the sales tax bills, however.
But the States fiscal plight is too serious
to permit Of much more politicking on
this issue. We believe Virginia, soon or
late, will have to rely on sales tax
for new revenues. Why stall off the
inevitable?

Taking Soundinqs?

For more than one reason the six
month schedule Of speaking engage
ments announced by New York's Gov
ernor Nelson Rockefeller prompts be-
lief that he has not by any means aban-
doned interest in continuing his politi-
Cal career. 1t indicates, in fact, that he
Is preparing to take his own Soundings
on the current status of his political ap-
peal-outside of New York State and in
centers Of widely differing political in
tereStS.
In January, for example, he will ad-
dress Republican Embarrassing dinners
in Hartford and Minneapolis-eng
mentS which could give him opportunity
to discuss party organizational problems
with the men and women closest to such
matters in New England and the upper
Middle West. In early February, he will
appear In the heart Of the farm region
for an address at Des Moines, Iowa, and
later in the month he will deliver Sc
ries Of three lectures at Harvard Uni
verSity, to be followed by speech at
Portland, Maine. An engagement at the
Economic Club Of Detroit in mid-April
offers an appropriate stage for dealing
with subjects vital to business and in
dustry, domestically or internationally.
One other speaking engagement, in mid
June, will take him South to Atlanta,
Georgia. Before embarking on any of
this out-of-State activity, the Governor
has called New York State Republican
leaders into conference on December q
presumably for the purpose Of discuss
ing his program for the State legisla-
ture this winter, and perhaps his plans
for next fall, when he is still expected to
run for reelection.
The significance attached to this
schedule of activities arises primarily
out Of the announcement several weeks
ago that Mr. and Mrs Rockefeller had
separated and that divorce Is pending.
While the Governor has argued that his
personal affairs should be left out of
politics, it is difficult, If not impossible,
to make this stick. Only few days ago,
one New York newspaper reported"
that he intends to resign from the Gov
ernorship land retire from politics) be-
fore his term runs out next year, because
of the effect divorce might have on his
prospects for winning the Republican
presidential nomination in 1864. Mr.
Rockefeller has denied the story. The
schedule he has now announced tends to
support his denial-at least until he has
had time to read some signs from Maine
to Minnesota.

Mr.. Nehru Strikes

In this age of inverted international
morality, were it not for one thing, there
would be nothing especially surprising
about Prime Minister Nehru's aggressive
war against Goa and two other tiny
Portuguese enclaves. That one thing is
Mr.. Nehru'S record-a record of self
righteous preachmentS addressed to
anyone and everyone whose standards
OF conduct fall short Of what Mr. Nehru
thinks, or claims to think, they should be.
The Portuguese have been in Goa
since 1908 years after Columbus dis
covered America. Their suggestion that
the question of integration with India be
submitted to vote, of the Goan people
has been ignored Mr.. Nehru, having
been assured of Soviet support for his
action, has simply brought superior
military force to bear in the fashion of
all aggresSorS. The Goans, it is said,
are being liberated" and never mind
whether they would have preferred to
remain as they were.
In unleashing his tanks, troops and
planes, the Indian Prime Minister has
ignored appeals from the United Nations
and, it is reported, from the United
States. Why? Because with the Kremlin's
backing he can safely proceed to crush
tiny Goa in the name Of liberation.
This confrontS the U. N. with a
nasty situation. What will it do, or even
try to do, about this flagrant act of
aggression? Not much, in all probability.
For the hands of the U. N. are con-
siderably less than clean at this time.
With Indian troops in the forefront,
it has proceeded to smash the Katanga
armed forces, while denying that it had
any such purpose in mind. With the
support of the United States, the u NJ
Congo army has invaded and captured
Elisabethville, killing many civilians as
well as soldiers in the process. Yet a
U. N. spokesman in Leopoldville has the
effrontery to say: "Our purpose con-
tinued to be to insure our freedom of
movement and to protect the civilian
residents of Elisabethville from the
danger OF further KatGnga attacks"
With such examples Of the new
international double talk before him,
and with Russia at his side, we do not
imagine Mr.. Nehru is losing sleep over
any prospective U. N. action.

that museums today are losing their
musty, mausoleum- appearance and
presenting new look Of popular appeal,
aided by special lighting and sound
effects. In fact, 1t might even be pos
sible, we suggest, to provide "Old 140l"

WATCHING THE WORLD
By CROSBY S. MOVES
Bermuda Talks Pose q Challenge
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

an abrupt break and indeed
the process Of reorientation
is far from completed. But
the turning of Great Britain
from a special relationship
with the United States and
the Commonwealth to a closer
partnership with Europe is
now entering the phase Of
practical politics. And, as
historic fact, it is likely to
prove the most important
developm e n t in Western
history since the end Of World
War II.
New Relationship
1t means, among other
things. an entirely new rela-
tionship between the United
States and Europe. 1t means
in the immediate circum-
stances that there is no
possibility whatever Of a joint
Anglo-American approach to
the Russians independent Of
the European powers.
The pole of power which
has resided in the United
States as leader Of the
Western coalition since the
war has now shifted signifi-
cantly. And in the future
Europe, along with Britain
could well outweigh the voice
of America in any councils
bearing on the outcome of
the cold war.
The present administration,
along with those that have
preceded it, is entirely alert
to this situation and the
problems that arise from it.
In a recent speech in Chicago,
presidential foreign policy
adviser McGeorge Bundy
brilliantly summed up the
possibilities:
What might happen in
such a new partnership is
perhaps best foreshadowed
by the extraordinary relation
which was created in World
War II between Great Britain
and the United States. g.
What I am suggesting, in
short, is that the partner
ship of freedom now requires
the recreation of a great
central political force in
Western Europe. To this
general end Americans of
both parties through three
administrations have given
their support and I believe
that history will prove the
wisdom of this unbroken
purpose"
1t is the ways and means
of forging this new partner
ship that should most occupy
minds and attention of the
two leaders during their
meeting in Bermuda this
week, Both men by their
training and philosophic sp-
proach to the problems of
public life are ideally suited
to the task. Both can in
terpret the problem in terms
which the average man can
understand and respond to.
Summit meetings have a
special purpose in the his
toric scheme of things. And
it would be unfortunate if
the present meeting in Ber-
muda were to be beclouded
by too many questions of
too immediate concern.

against sending United Ma
tions cards at Christmas.
Why was Jesus born? Why
did Christ incarnate on the
Planet Earth?
To bring in love and light
maybel
Just to Christians?
No to every one-every-
where!
What more fitting way to
celebrate the Birth, than to
send a UN card, a symbol in
recognition of the progress
being made?
