Space Problem: Scientists

The National AeronauticS and Space
Agency has encountered serious new
problem in its program OF space ex-
ploration, a problem entirely distinct
from such routine difficulties as tech
nical breakdowns, misfires and the
like. The new worry is how to keep
key experts from leaving NASA to accept
much more lucrative jobs in private
industry. 1t is a problem with which
Congress will have to deal If the exodus
of experienced specialists is to be halted.
The Stars science writer, William
Hines, learned of the adverse effects
of the raids by private firms on Federal
personnel during his recent tour of
rocket bases. For example, the NASA
moon project office has lost two experts
within the past two weeks. They
jumped from the the civil service $4,000
bracket to private posts paying $4,000
and $35,000. Another space laboratory
researcher recently left his top-Salary
$4,000 NASA job for one paying $4,000
on the outside. Said one space official
ruefully: I'VE are training vice preSi-
dents for industry"
Civil service pay scales for junior
scientists and engineers compare favor
ably with those in industry, but salaries
available for space experts Of long ex-
perience, such as the so-called project
engineers, are far under prevailing rates
in private industry. Vice President
Johnson, after personal inspection OF
conditions, announced his intention Of
trying to solve the pay disparity prob
lem, with the help of Congress.
One proposal under study is for
creation of a quasi Government corpo-
ration which could hire scientists with
out regard to civil service pay ceilings
and lend" them to NASA for special
work, as in the man-on- -the-moon
project Another plan, favored by the
Civil Service Commission, is for legiS-
lative authority to upgrade salaries OF
certain indispensable" specialists, also
without regard to pay ceilings for the
regular grades Other approaches to
solution of NASA's manpower problem
may be proposed. That solution must
be found is clear to those concerned
with Americas efforts to keep pace with
the Russians in the space race

Project 'Wotergote'

One of the few choice sites remain
ing in Washington for large-Scale priv
ate development is the 10-acre river
front triangle, formerly the property Of
the gas company, between Virginia and
New Hampshire avenues in Foggy Bot
tom 1t Is especially intriguing, there
fore, to see the imaginative and ambi-
tiouS "Watergate" development which is
proposed for construction there by the
Roman firm, Societa Generate Immobi-
liare.
Because Of its magnitude (some $50
million worth of construction), its di-
versity of uses apartment, hotel, office
building) and its strategic location, this
project of course must receive more than
ordinary attention from the city. 1t is
well, for example, that the Fine Arts
Commission is reviewing the plans with
an eye to their eSthetic impact in the
river area. And the Commissioners will
be concerned with numerous aspects of
the development, especially as it will
serve to become traffic generator.
None of these reviews, however, will
be more important than the requests for
Zoning changes, now before the District
Zoning Commission. At first sight, the
requests, which would greatly increase
the flexibility of design and provide for
more open space in the large tract, ap-
pear reasonable. In any event, the zon-
ing Commission should afford them the
most earnest study, for on it's decisions
will depend largely the eventual form
and quality of the project.

Bio Bomb Protest
The 75-tn-1n W

1 The 75-to-10 vote in the United
Nations Political Committee for an
tappeal to the Kremlin against testing
"a 50-megaton bomb is being hailed in
sSorne quarters as great victory. But
swe doubt that it is much of a victory
1or anyone.
k In the first place, assuming that
sMr. KhruShchev really has intended to
fmake such a test, the indications are
tthat he will ignore the U. N. appeal.
Secondly, the resolution as adopted was
a Watered-down version of the original
proposal. At the outset it contained an
expression of deep concern" with
prospect to the test, and said something
iabout the adverse effect of such an
explosion on the health and welfare of
the world population" Before adoption,
these references were deleted in defer
er1ce to India and other similar minded
countries. Finally, with one recorded
ahStention and Is delegates electing to
be recorded as absent" the rs votes
for the resolution were mustered, figur-
atively speaking, by dragging in some
OF the neutralS by the heels, and never
mind their kicking and screaming.
keeping all these points in mind, this
does not seem to us to be much of a
victory.
There are one or two other points.
Why direct such an appeal to a single
teSt-even 50-megaton test? 1t will
produce big dose Of fallout, of course
But much less than other tests, in the
aggregate, and certainly not enough
to destroy the human race, despite what
one might think from reading some of
the comments. Furthermore, the neu-
.traliStS, after this resolution was
adopted, served notice that they would
press for adoption of an Indian proposal
calling for a permanent revival of the
three-year voluntary moratorium" on
:ah-nuclear tests. In other words, they
want the United States, after Russia
has completed its current testing, to
refrain from any further tests of its
.oWn. If the Russians have gained an
advantage, this proposal urges, let them
keep it.
= We hope that this will be rejected,
and If 1t is passed that President Ken
.nedy will adhere to his assurance that
the United States will never again let
itself be booby-trapped into another
,uninspected test moratorium. There is
too much at stake-including our
national survival. The Russians have
rejected every proposal for an ade-
Quately inspected ban on tests. This
being so, we must look to our own
security by conducting all necessary
tests Of our own-deSpite exaggerated,
even hysterical, claims and fears con-
.cerning the risks of fallout.

Elusive Cuban Issue

The nearly unanimous vote by
which the Council of the Organization
of American States has Side-Stepped an
investigation at this time of the Castro
regime is clear evidence of the uphill
fight which faces any concerted hemi-
Spheric action against Cuba. So certain
was the outcome, apparently, that not
even the United States voted against the
motion which passed the Cuban ques-
ton along to the OAS General Commits
sion.
United States Ambassador deLeS-
Seps Morrison did state that this action
should not be interpreted as ''in any way
implying an indefinite poStponement"
of the investigation which Peru inflated
a week ago. The United States, he said,
cannot support such conclusion either
expressly or implicitly"
We hope Mr. Morrison is right and
that this investigation, in fact, has not
merely been pigeonholed. For almost
daily the CubanS illustrate by their ac-
tionS the truth of the Peruvian charge
that CaStroism violates the basic tenets
of the OAS Charter These, moreover, are
actions which speak louder than words.
During the OAS debate, the Cuban del
egate vehemently denied that his coun-
try is an outpost of communism, saying
that Cuba belongs to no bloc" Yet
only hours later, in the United Nations
itself, Cuba alone joined the Soviet bloc
in opposing the resolution pleading
with Moscow to forgo it's threatened So
megaton bomb blast.
Perhaps in time the impact of such
performances as this will sink in, pos
Sibly even to the extent of unifying
hemisphere opinion on Cuba. But there
was precious little in the conduct Of the
OAS Council to suggest that the time
for a meaningful step in this direction
will arrive soon.

Bfqht in the Suburbs

= 1t is too early to know how ex-
-tenSively the techniqueS of urban
renewal might be applied in Montgomery
County. There is ample evidence from
previous studies, however, that pockets
, of deterioration and blight exist in
neighborhoods scattered throughout the
county-to degree which probably
win surprise most residents. The County
Council is to be commended for recog-
nizing this fact, and for setting the
wheels of an urban renewal program in
motion.
- The initial step is relatively simple:
The drafting of workable program"
which is government jargon for a mass
of information, which must be submitted
to the Federal Government, to guarantee
that the county possesses the necessary
regulatory, administrative and financial
resources to carry out renewal pro-
grams
=. The obvious second step is an ex-
tensive survey of housing conditions,
to determine precisely where the de-
ficiencies lie. And to do this job, the
Council should seek the assistance of
the Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. From its
own studies, the commission already
has compiled a substantial amount of
the needed data; it has, besides,
,ready-made staff of experts to conduct
further surveys. 1t is only common
sense, furthermore, that urban renewal
and the more generalized planning for
county development proceed in the
closest coordination.
There is strong sentiment within
the Council as we understand it, that
the Council itself act as the operating
renewal agency. Perhaps this is wise.
We hope, however, that the bitter feud-
ing which from time to time breaks out
between members of the Council and

Finoncier Kennedy

William s. White was neV-
er more accurate than when
he says that President John
F. Kennedy is strictly the
son Of Financier Joseph P.
Kennedy" but he is quite
wrong in assuming the lat
ter's views on financial sub
jects differed in any way
from President Franklin D.

In 1886 Joseph P. Ken
nedy wrote a book bluntly
entitled I'm For Roosevelt"
He maintained he was writ
ing the book to explain the
facts of life to his nine
children, but his main target
obviously was his business
colleagues. After all, he could
send his boys TO Harvard
and the London School of
Economics TO learn the eco
nomic facts of life.
Perhaps the most serious

1896, was the fact that "our
modern economy has been

ment which must be a per-
manent concern of our gov

White picked up the notion
that academic economists
think Wall Street is an evil
place" Henry Ford may have
thought so at times. and
there has been an anti-Wall
Street tradition among farm
ers in the past. but aside
from these this is just

knock it down. The Com

responsible opinion in this
country fails to see the i'm
portant role of Wall Street
in providing the flow of cred

The idea that Franklin D.
