First Things First

Soon after the Eighty-sev-
enth Congress convened Rep
resentative Kirwan Of Ohio
predicted that the new Con-
gress would authorize a $40
million aquarium for Wash
ington. He was quoted to the
effect that Washington is
one Of the few major cities in
the world which doesn't have
a decent aquarium"
I must confess that this
situation does not impel me
to hang my head in disgrace.
The condition of the public
schools of the District of Co.
lumbia, however, does seem
to me to be shameful. The
money Representative Kir-
wan would appropriate for an
aquarium might much better
be spent to house the chill
dren of the District in build
ings in which they can be
properly educated.
On December 30, 1860,
School Superintendent Han
sen told a press conference
that, between 1945 and 1860,
classroom space had in
creased 25.4 per cent, while
the school population had
grown by 1872 per cent. Fur
thermore, on December 8,
1860. a report prepared by
the Office of the Statistician
entitled Capacity Of Each
Building, Pupil Membership,
and Number of Teachers on
October 20. 1860. by Schools
and School Levels" showed
that there was a shortage Of
7,346 pupil stations in the
elementary schools and one
of 2,579 seats in the junior
high schools. If adminiStra-
ton population projections
are accurate-as they have
been-and only the projects
now approved by the D. c.
Commissioners are construct
ed, there will be a shortage Of
about 1000 seats in the ele-
mentary schools by 1966-67.
and there will be a need for
about 5000 seats in the jun
ior high schools in 1965-66.
The $40 million that Rep
reSentative Kirwan would
have the Federal Govern
ment give to the District for
an aquarium would help train
more useful citizens and re-
fleet greater glory on the
Nations Capital if it were de-
voted to the following con-
struction projects:

No Final Accounting Yet

Political and economic RESPONSE
bility have prevailed in Belgium after
many weeks Of bitter testing, but the
full and final cost Of an unusual strike
against government will be a heavy
one.
Apparently assured Of adoption now
is an austerity program of increased
taxes and reduced social dement's
sponsored by the Social Christian
Liberal coalition government of Premier
CASTOR EySkenS. BY its terms, the
Eyskens government estimates that
revenues will rise by $l20 million annu-
ally and that spending may be cut by
as much as $500 million-as offsets to
the losses suffered by the granting Of
independence to the former Belgian
Congo.
Unhappily, these potential dement's
will not be net ones in the immediate
future. Since December 20, much Of the
nations transport, public utilities and
private industry have been shut down
or badly crippled by strike action Of the
General Workers Federation under
Socialist Party leadership. Losses in pro-
duction and tax yield, to say nothing of
personal injuries and property damage
during the earlier weeks Of widespread
violence, are calculated at $3.50 million.
Not subject to measurement in
dollars is the price tag for deep bitter
ness left on two fronts. One is on the
purely political stage where the Social
lists, winning about IS per cent Of the
country's votes In the last general elec-
ton in 1858, are increasingly determined
to force a new election this spring. The
fact that the Liberal Party minority In
the government coalition Is less than
completely happy with the new tax pro-
posalS increases the likelihood of the
Parliament being dissolved in the near
future with subsequent call for new
elections. Deepened also is the long
standing rift between the Flemish
speaking region Of the North, which did
not support the strike in any substantial
degree, and the French-speaking south
ern region Of the Walloons where the
strike tie-up was virtually complete.
AS small as 1t is. Belgium has
suffered and survived this regional
division throughout its 130-year history.
Almost assuredly, 1t will continue to do
so, but its current period of trial is
distressing to its friends as well as
costly to the country.

@. What is meant by the
degree Of a burn?-K. s.
A. Burns are classified &C
cording to the degree or
depth to which the body It's
sues are injured. In first
degree burns the skin is red
dened, as in moderate sun
burn or mild scald: in sec
ond-degree burns the skin is
deeply reddened and is blis-
tered as In severe sunburn;
third-degree burns are deep
and serious, with destruction
Of tissue.
@. How do the courts de-
fine "willful evasion" Of tax
es or "willful failure" to pay
taxes?-S.K.
A. The Interpretation in
any individual case depends
on the facts brought out in
the trial Of that case. In
general, the word "willful"
describes an act done with
out a good reason or excuse,
and with an intent to avoid
the obligations Of the law.

Mans BeustEness

"The Queen Of England
stood proudly by while her
husband shot a tiger"
In which century do we
live? How much braveness
does it take to shoot a tiger
on a safari? The savages in
the jungle know about the
laws Of nature. They kill
a tiger only when he has at
tackled or killed q person or
when they are in need Of
food. A tiger will kill only
when he is hungry. How
much more civilized can we
get to kill an animal only for
the purpose to kill or show
braveneSs?

Civil War Centennial

The chairman OF the Civil
War Centennial Commission
has stated that the spectacle
lar celebration Of the cen
tennial is intended to impress
upon our people and upon
those Of other lands the ire
mendouS significance Of the
spiritual aspects Of the great
struggle.
There are tremendous spir-
itual aspects Of this war;
not the aspects that would
give the people the desire to
celebrate. but aspects that
compel people to repent. To
treat this war as II 1t were a
commendable act rath e
than to face up to 1t as the
Nations greatest tragedy: to
idealize the faulty principles;
to re-enact bloody battles:
to celebrate 1t with parades,
dances and other lightheart-
edness is to deny and to Of
fend the righteousness OF
God.
Christ said: Love your en-
emieS. Do good to those who
hate you. Bless those who
curse you. Pray for those who
persecute you. These COM
mands rule out the celeora-
ton Of the Civil War or any
other war. At the same time

Worninq From the Acc

The Atomic Energy Commission, in
the annual report 1t has just submitted
to Congress, sets forth a wealth Of
fascinating and generally encouraging
information about our country's con-
tinuing progress in the field Of nom
military nuclear research and develop
ment. But the agency also devotes q
considerable part Of the report-a 544-
page account Of the Aces stewardship
for 1960-to remarks and observations
plainly calculated to warn against the
great dangers inherent in adhering
indefinitely to an unpoliced ban on the
testing of A and H weapons.
True, the Commission af1irms that
1t "is fully in accord with the national
policy Of attaining cessation Of nuclear
weapons tests" Even so, 1t makes clear
at the same time that such a cessation
cannot safely be accepted by the United
States, week after week, month after
month and year after year, without
adequate inSpectional safeguards against
the possibility Of cheating in
the form of undetectable clandestine
underground or outer-space detonations
that could be Of decisive Importance in
terms Of the Soviet and American
positions in the international balance
Of armed power. Accordingly, in its own
words, the Acc "feels strong sense of
responsibility to point out the risks to
free world supremacy in nuclear
weapons-and the resultant threat to
the free world-that are implicit in a
weapons testing" To quote further:
Nuclear weapons development is not q
static science. Important advances in weap-
ons design are possible-advances which would
have great military significance. . Our
weapons scientists are convinced that further
nuclear testing would achieve major
The military advantages to be gained
from clandestine nuclear testing are great.
and the probabilities of detecting and identi-
flying clandestine tests are very small. This
will be the free worlds situation so long as
there is an unpoliced de facto moratorium on
nuclear weapons testing.
The Commission recognizes that treaty
to refrain from nuclear weapons tests under
conditions Of adequate control might be a
significant step toward better international
relations. It would be quite another
matter. however. to continue indefinitely q
Seh-imposed moratorium on the testing Of
nuclear weapons while the means Of detecting
violations does not exist.
These words are from the preface
to the Aces 1860 report, which further
on - about 124 pages later - gives an
excellent summation Of all the Diff
ficulties and Illustrations involved in
trying to arrive at trustworthy test
ban agreement with the Russians. This
disheartening effort has been going on
now for more than two years, during
which time we have had no assurance
whatever against the possibility, II not
the probability, that the Russians have
been cheating on US with secret tests
that could give them a deadly lead
over us. Small wonder that the tocsin
has been sounded at the Acc.

The Supreme Courts re-
cent decision upholding the
power of States and cities
to censor motion pictures.
regrettable as 1t may be to

always made by the motion
picture industry whenever

found and to hinder orderly

II we calmly examine the
precious freedom guaranteed
to US by the First Amendment
to the Constitution, we all
will agree that our right to
the freedom of expression Is
beyond challenge, but we
also will recognize that this
freedom must be exercised
with responsibility and within
the limits set by the demands
Of social living. In other
words, the freedom Of ex-
preston does not mean Ii
cense. Our libel laws are GER
tainly proof Of this principle.
