CONSTANTINE BROWN
u. S. Criticized as Knocking Regimes
Friendly to West and Courtinq Reds

But since the death of Sec
retary John Foster Dulles
there has been a transition
in our political thinking. We
divided the relationships in
to two groups: those we can
not tolerate and those whom
we must tolerate. In the first
category was Trujillo with
whom we broke diplomatic re-
lations for no plausible reason
except that he had been ac-
cused by a fellow dictator in
Venezuela of plotting his
overthrow. Another to incur
the frownS of the present ad-
ministration is Premier Sala-
zar of Portugal who refuses
to yield Angola and Mozam-
bique to the natives. The
third is Generalissimo Franco
who, better aware of the Sit
uation in Spain than the
State Department, refuses to
hold free elections.
All these men are heads
of countries which have been
for years on our side in the
struggle against international
communism. They are now
bitterly denounced as oppres-
SorS of their people and rul-
ing their countries without
regard for the rights of man.
This is in keeping with Amer
ican tradition. A high official
of the State Department eX-
pressed this policy succinctly
to a foreign ambassador: :
This Nation was born in
revolution. Its peoples, poorly
armed but guided by a firm
determination to be free,
overthrew, against heavy
odds. the tyranny Of the Brit
ish oppressors. This basic
philosophy of our political
thinking cannot be changed
without offending the Ameri-
can people"

BY way of comparison, the

How United States missile
strength stacks up against

President Kennedy said in his
budget message to Congress
this week that lit has been
publicly acknowledged for
several years that this Nation
has not led the world in missile
strength"
Nine Aliases Added
The latest missiles to go on
the line were nine Aliases in
three launching bases near
Offut Air Force Base, Omaha,
Nebr. These bases were turned
over to the Strategic Air Com
mand yesterday. SAC crews
would fire them in event Of an
enemy attack on the United
States.
These nine. plus Is emplaced
earlier near Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and three at Vandenberg Air
Force Base in California bring
the ready force of Aliases to 81
The Nebraska launching sites
were the second such group to
be declared operational in
March, indicating that the lag
ging missile base construction
program may be picking up.
In addition to the liquid-fuel
Aliases, a total of 80 solid-fue,
Polaris rockets are aboard the
submarines George Washington
and Patrick Henry.

One of the major premises
of our foreign policy is that
"dictators and near -dictators
must CO." This has been
our policy for years.
When Britain and France
were making overt and con-
cealed deals with Hitler and
MuSsolini, this country stood
unyielding against the re-
gimes Of the Fuehrer and Il
Duce.
Although the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration r e eve d rela-
tions with the harsh Soviet
dictatorship, it became luke
warm toward Stain within a
few months. Its enthusiasm
for the Russian Communist
was revived only during
World War II because the
Russians were killing Ger
mans" This was in conflict
with the religious beliefs of
the American people but it
was said war is war" and
we must be thankful to the
atheiStic Russians for help
ing us win the war.
Until recently, all dictators
were placed in the same ket-
tie. There were no good or
bad dictatorS in the view of
our policy makers. At times,
the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations, hard pressed
by the steady inroads of in
ternational communism, how
ever, did extend a helping
hand to the benevolent die
tators such as Franco, Salazar
and TTujillo. and others on
the Asian continent.
We got, from the practical
point of view, substantial re-
turns: Air and naval bases
and the firm sup ort in what
we were convinced was the
greatest struggle in the his
tory of man-the fight against
aggressive, inSidious and sub
versive communism.

Commission Starts
Touchy Redistricting

RICHMOND, Aug. 5 (AP).-
The politically touchy problem
of Legislative redistricting
comes up next week for public
hearings at Roanoke and Rich
mond.
We're looking for specifics, y
said the commission chairman,
Delegate Lawrence H. Hoover
of HarriSonburg.
Mr.. Hoover said the specifics
he had in mind were Statewide
plans for redistricting one OF
all representation districts for
the State Senate, the House OF
Delegates, or the House of Rep
resentatives.
He said this was one of the
ground rules for the hearings
laid down by his group, the 20
member Governors Redistrict-
ing Study Commission.
Mr.. Hoover, who is due to
preside at the hearings, said
the commission wasn't inter-
eSted in hearing complaints
about MISREPRESENTATION and
wanted specific plans produced
for rediStricting.
The commission will hold its
first hearing Tuesday in Roa-
noke's Hotel Roanoke at 10
am. (EST). Wednesdays hear
ings will be in the hall of the
House of Delegates in Rich
mond at 10 am. (EDT).

the long run because Of inevi-
table continued growth. I fully
recognize that such a govern
ment will have to be created
in stages"
Although the Baltimore study
commission is in its infancy,
its potential for achieving sue
cess in establishing a stronger
form of metropolitan govern
ment probably is greater than
exists here due to it's single
State operation.
The Washington Metropoli-
tan Regional Conference and
related area agencies, while
having a creditable record Of
success in some fields, has the
three State and Federal juris-
dictional jealousies to over
come.
Most of these regional agen-
cies are advisory only. One Of
these co-ordinating groups, the
Metropolitan Regional Sanitary
Board, is given much of the
credit for evolving the plan for
disposing of sewage from the
Dulles international Airport
through the District of Colum-
bia treatment system without
polluting the Potomac River
watershed.
One With Teeth
The one agency here that has
enforcement powers is the
Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission, which reg
ulateS all interstate transporta-
ton facilities in this area. 1t
was the result of work by an
advisory group, the Tri-State
Transportation Commission,
created in 1854 by the Legisla-
lures Of Maryland and Virginia
and the District Commissioners.
The tri-State commission was
active in shaping and sponsor
ing legislation for the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area
Transit Regulation Compact,
ratified by Virginia in 1858,
Maryland in 1859 and by Con-
greSS last year. This created
the commission with enforce
ment authority.
The only inter -jurisdictional
authorities in the Baltimore
area with enforcement powers
now are the Maryland Port
Authority. established in 1856
among Baltimore City and
Baltimore and Anne Arundel
Counties, and the Metropolitan
Transit Authority, created this
year for Baltimore City and
Baltimore County.
This type of arrangement
works we'll where only one or
two functions are involved,
Evening star., 1961-08-06

Gov. Tawes said, but if new
functions are added and each
new function results in the
creation Of a new independent
agency, there will soon be a
multiplicity Of agencies and an
increasingly cumbersome Struc-
ture with no central control or
responsibility"
In the Washington area, bi-
county functions are carried
out by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission,
which provides water and sewer
services. and the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which
enforceS zoning and parks con-
troll, in the urban areas of
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
Political Hurdles
AS a politician, the Governor
recognized the political pro-
blems involved in creating one
vast co-ordinating government
al unit.
"AS l have said before about
other aspects Of State govern
ment." he declared, politics
is the art of the possible, and
this applies as much to Metro
politan government as it does
to anything else -.
Il strongly believe that any
metropolitan plan must be
based on the assumption that
a high degree of local autonomy
will be preserved. Many metro
politan government proposals
have been rejected because
they did not take this factor
into account. Political feasi-
bility requires that the existing
local governments be retained"
Nevertheless, one aspect of
the Governors recommenda-
tion Immediately emerged as
a principal hurdle to be over
come. He said:
Il believe that any metro
politan authority that is cre-
ated must have adequate rev.
enue-raiSing capabilities. This
means that it must be able to
levy taxes on a broad base; it
must be able to charge for it's
services, and it must be able
to issue both revenue and gen.
eral-purpoSe bonds"
c. S. Hobbs, director of the
Civic Bureau of the Baltimore
Association of Commerce. COM
mented, ITO get a city and
four counties into agreement on
the question of added taxes is
not going to be easy"
The Association Of Com
merce, he said, has taken no
formal position on area-wide
government, but in past actions
