On behalf of my husband, our

Your article on this was very
flattering and complimentary;
however, | would like to point
out one fact. He was not, and
has never claimed to be, THE
founder of the Filipino Youth
Activities. On the contrary, all
the articles written on the sub
ject (Which he wrote himself,
incidentally, has given the
credit to Ray Cantil, Bill Nam

and others whose names l can
not recall.
He and l, and the others still
active in the FYA, will always
be grateful to these men for
coming up with the original idea
of having athletic activities for
Filipino boys. 1t was from this
that the program evolved.
Again, thank you so much for

Federal Aid Not Justified

One of the reasons why a presi-
Dental commission chose New York City
over Washington as the site for the
1864 Worlds Fair was the asserted fact
that Manhattan had the financial re-
sources to stage such an exposition
without Federal aid. 1t is, therefore,
somewhat surprising and confusing to
learn that New York now is asking Con-
gress to appropriate $50 million for the
fair. We are wholly in accord with
Senator Lausche's stand against the
granting of any Federal money for what
was ballyhooed as a New York financed
enterprise.
Washington, In making It's bid for
the fair, made no request for Federal
funds Neither did New York. In fact
New York Senator Javits told the
Senate; "The only thing New York asks
the Federal Government is q. 3D.. That the
Federal Government will invite other
countries to participate" And Senator
Heating stressed that New York had
handled "such affairs requiring sub
stantial amounts of money with great
success in the past" and he predicted
that Washington would be forced to
ask the Government for help. "I doubt"
he said, that Congress would be dis
posed to put up the money"
We doubt that Congress now will
be favorably disposed toward the cry
for help from New York City, either
AS Senator Lausche put it, to give this
aid would be "a breach of commitment"
which he will fight to the limit. The
Ohio Senator's fight is justified.

BeItwoy Progress

After so many Illustrations, 1t is
refreshing to hear John B. Funk, the
chairman of the Maryland Roads Com
mission, speak encouragingly about an
earlier than expected completion of the
Capital Beltway. The Virginia portion
of this massive circular expressway
around the Nations Capital is slated
to be finished by the end of 1868. Now,
according to officials of the Maryland
commission, 1t appears that all but one
section in that State also will be COM
pleted by the same date.
The speedup in Maryland construc-
tion schedules is due mainly, of course,
to the availability Of money, some of
which is being diverted to the beltway
in recognition of its Importance. But
Mr.. Funk also wisely intends to form
an "expediting committee" within his
own shop to assure that the countless
officials concerned with the beltway
will move in the same direction, swiftly
and efficiently"
In recent talk to the Montgomery
County Board Of Realtors, to whom he
disclosed these plans, Mr.. Funk also
voiced a warning-of the type all too
seldom heard from highway men-that
our new expressways will be doomed to
obsolescence as soon as they are built If
commuters attempt to solve their travel
problems solely with the private auto.
Based on an average of IL persons per
car, the modern freeway can carry about
5000 people per lane per hour. Through
the judicious use Of express buses, Mr..
Funk predicted, this carrying capacity
may be increased to $4,000 or 10000. AS
he put it: ut is not the expressway
which should be criticized; it is the use
OF the expressway which needs revision"
These are words well worth remem-
bering as Washingtonians look forward
with anticipation to the completion of
such fine new roads as the beltway.

Horse-drawn fire engines
were on their way out (of
style, that iS) so years ago.
The Star of September 19,
1911, reported: Carrying out
his policy Of gradually elimi-
mating horse drawn fire ap-
paratus, Fire Chief Wagner
has recommended to the Dis
trict Commissioners that pro-
visions be made In the next
(budget) estimates for the
purchase of about $4,000
worth of motor propelled We
hicles. 1t is understood that
the purchase of two motor
trucks to cost about $40, 900;
one engine to cost $4,000;
one hose wagon to cost $4,000,
and one combined engine and
hose wagon to cost $4,000 has
been recommended. Co.
5 ir Congress Heights will
probably get the combination
engine and hose wagon. The
Tenleytown company likely
will get one of the trucks and
No. 4 the other. . Chief
Wagner has gone to Milwau-
kee for a fire chiefs conven-
ton. While there he will in
spect new motor driven ap-
paratus and report back to
the Commissioners. :"

Trying Times

Some of President Ken
nedy's best friends in Con-
gress are Republicans. Ger
tainly, in terms of percent
age they have supported him
to a greater degree than
those who sit across the aisle.
OF course. the situation in
Germany is the cause Of 1t,
as well as other irritations
such as Castro, Khrushchev,
etc. And the right thinking
Democrats are on his side
also. Both political parties
have the sanity and hard
common sense to realize that
we sink or swim with Presi-
dent Kennedy, and it had
better be swim.
At the time of a former
national crisis, a great man
uttered these words These
are the times that try mems
souls" Certainly, President
Kennedy could repeat these
words with emphasis.
Former President Eisen-
hover has shown himself to
be very friendly and helpful
to the President. This is to
be expected of a man of Els
enhower's public spirit and
patriotism. So politics are
thrown in the discard for the
time being. 1t is times like
these that separate the dem
agogues and professional pol
iticians from the statesmen
and men of great moral sta
ture.

The New Woshinqton'

.. In special 40-page supplement
entitled, "The New Washington" The
Star today presents a picture of the
> physical development of the Nations
Capital which we believe will surprise
many readers. For it shows city of
. enormous vitality and change-change
:, OF which all Of us have been generally
: aware, but which few have had the
= opportunity to view as an entity This
section tells an unusually complete
story of changes and new trends, of
: projects actually under way, and of
s. plans-many of them still dreams-for
= the future.
The idea of such section was born
last February, when staff members of
The Star were impressed by the remark
able variety of developmental activity
Z throughout the city. Planning and re-
search work was begun Immediately. The
advice of many experts was sought. On
p. July rs, the concept of the section was
outlined at reception to about 125 city
officials and civic leaders. The produc-
tion throughout has been staff effort
;. in every sense, with more than 30
members of the editorial department
participating.
The scope of the section is deliber-
ately confined to the central city-much
the same land area planned during the
. 1790s by Pierre L'Enfant 1t does not
deal specifically, therefore, with the
multitude of growth problems facing
suburbs, although many of them are
directly related to the development of
the core city. Nor was there space-in
view of the magnitude of the subject
to describe all the minute facets of
downtown problems. These are subjects
which The Star will continue to report
through its news columns In the coming
months and years.
1t is our hope, however, that 1.-THE
New Washington" section will provide
framework for better understanding
4, Of these developments, not only for
: those who live in the District, but for
the many more residents of the metro
politan community who live in the
suburbs. We hope this section also will
give Suburbanites fuller awareness of
some Of the ways in which healthy,
vigorous, attractive city can add to the
fullneSs of their lives.
Many problems remain Indeed, not
even the basic decisions of community
policy have been made on some crucial
questions, most notably on regional
transportation. Yet, as one official has
expressed 1t, effectiveness of an i'm
proved transportation system will deter
mine whether the revitalized downtown
shopping section will become merely
good area, or a superlative one" Thus
the challenge ahead is not merely to
recapture old values, but to develop new
ones from the opportunities that result
from urban growth. 1t is our contention
that these forces of change for the good
already are in motion in "The New
WASHINGTON"

Financing the Budget

The S270 million District budget
agreed upon this week end is a reason
able compromise, one which at least
appears to meet the minimum needs
of the city for the coming year. But
this conclusion is based-as indeed the
budget itself is based-on the assump-
ton that separate revenue bill also
will be enacted this session to provide
the government with an additional S5.4
million (precisely the amount that
would be realized from / per cent
increase in the sales taxi.
Twice within the last two years the
House has approved such a sales tax
bill A year ago, it died in the Senate
under the threat of nlibuster by
Senator Morse, leaving the city with
a shortage requiring cutbacks in au-
thorized expenses. Again this year its
enactment has been delayed, largely by
the reluctance Of Representative Nc
MILAN to participate in a House Senate
conference which might result in addi-
tional taxation that Mr.. Mcmillan felt
was unnecessary.
Now Mr.. Mcmillan wisely has re-
Tented, agreeing that the conferees
should meet this week. No doubt he
was influenced by the fact that the
budget itself, thanks to the commend
able efforts of Senator Byrd of West
Virginia, already is set at level which
will require no new revenues beyond
those which would result from the sales
tax increase or from a comparable
amount of alternate taxes.
The essential consideration now,
however, is that conferees of the Senate
as well as the House recognize that no
more than $5.4 million is required, and
no effort should be made to assess addi-
tional amounts. 1t should be remem-
bered that entirely apart from the
revenue bill the Commissioners already
have increased local real estate taxes
substantially
Several tax increases in addition to
the Sales-tax boost were proposed by
the Senate District Committee, and
were raised further on the Senate floor.
This was accomplished, however, before
the budget itself was agreed to. The
rule to which the conferees should
adhere when they meet later this week
is that such new revenues as are needed
to balance the budget should be adopted
but no more

Unfortunately for the well

an indication of confused

It would seem that Mr..

No Modern Arms?

If his recent remarks were accurately
reported in this country, General de
Gaulle stated the essential dilemma
which confronts those who think we
must hold West Berlin-but without re-
sort to all-out war
The French President told a Paris
press conference that the Western AL
lies must hold their positions in free
Berlin and all their communications,
IF necessary by force in reply to the
procedures Of force" At the same time,
however, he said that a world conflict
with modern arms should by all means
be avoided because the world in such
a conflict would be shattered. What
good would it be-" he asked, ito reign
over the dead?"
The difficulty with this is that the
West cannot be sure of holding its posi-
tions in free Berlin without resort to
modern arms. We might be compelled
to choose between resort to nuclear
arms and accepting military defeat.
Or the Russians might decide to bring
their nuclear weapons into play, in
which case we would have to reply in
kind. In fact, Soviet MarShals Malin-
ovSky and Yeremenko have just said that
this would be the case.
If the West intends to fight for Ber-
lin, under the terms of the commit
mentS which have been made, it seems
to us that 1t must be ready to fight an
all-out war should this become neces-
sary. Mr.. KhruShchev doubtless is
banking on the belief that the Allies
will not fight at all, or, at most, that
they will fight under conditions and re-

Paying for CorIo

All praise to the individ-
uals and agencies, Federal.
State and local, who so ef-
ficiently warned and evacu-
ated the Texas Gulf Coast
and avoided great loss of life
from hurricane Carla. There
remains the great problem of
repair or replacement of
homes, industries and agri-
culture, with costs totaling
perhaps over $500 million,
and parts of the coastal area
may be designated as disaster
areas for aid by the Federal
Government.
Some Texans, particularly
wealthy ones, take pride in
objecting to Federal aid and
may resent the designation
Of parts Of their State as dis
aster areas. "a few months
ago the little town of Italy,
Tex, got Nationwide pub
licity and editorial page ap-
proval when its mayor re-
fused the possible offer of
Federal disaster-area aid
after a tornado damaged the
town, and recently some of
the officials of Smith County,
and Senator Tower, loudly
protested when the county
was vaguely designated as a
depressed agricultural area
and eligible for Federal help)
The amount of Carla's
damage is too great to be
answered by speeches or
propaganda. It will require
money, a great deal of money.
The people in Texas who have
the most money are the ones
who protest loudest about
Federal aid, and who most
resent the Federal Govern
ment in general, the oil bill
lionaires. They rail against
the income tax, the welfare
state" social security, inter-
ference with States rights,
Federal control of business,
and Federal aid of any sort
except to the oil industry.
They contributed lavishly to
the wild right wing, write
books like Alpaca" and seem
to feel some Illustration be-
cause they do not have even
more power over national and
international matters, and to
feel that history will over
look them. Carla may have
given them their greatest,
and perhaps last, opportunity
for historic recognition. II
they do not wish their State
to receive massive Federal
aid. if they want to keep the
Feds out, let one Of them
(just one, for impact) make
the grand gesture, pick up
the tab for Carla's destruction
and write a personal check
for it. This will get him in
histories; even Croesus never
paid for a hurricane with a
$500 million personal check
The histories could record
that the donor then casually
phoned Washington and said,
TITS all right, Jack; 1 paid
for it," Then he could charge
off the whole $500 million
as a deduction on his Form
1040. One riot. one Texas
Ranger; one hurricane, one
Texas billionaire. What
better use for wealth obtained
from a States natural re-
sources than to use some of
1t to repair damage to the

victim to their guile. They
told him four to five thou

him in trenches. That
stopped Rust. Actually the

a few hundred. The day was
