Drifting leff?-
WASHINGTON, D.C-The def
icit President John F. Kennedy Is
now staring in the face - for the
current fiscal year - approaches
two billion dollars. When Presi-
dent Eisenhower last spoke to
Congress he indicated a surplus
could be expected.
Now Kennedy is faced with less
er income than had been antici-
pated, and heavier government
spending. And while the former
President might not have run up
a two-billion dollar deficit, 1t
seems likely now that he would
have ended the fiscal year in the
red.
Kennedy and his aides are
watching their efforts to prime
the business pump carefully and
there is talk of seventy-five days,
as the period in which response
is expected. II there is no eco,

Kennedy's seventy-five days will

seen in Washington. And it is re.

High School
ContructLet
By Fairfax

The Fairfax County School
Board last night awarded a
$2.6 million contract for the
first of a series of large high
schools.
The facility, named after
Thomas Alva Edison, will be
the county's twelfth high
school, and Is expected to open
by September, 1862. 1t will be
built on a 44-acre tract south
of Franconia road opposite the
Brookland Estates subdivision.
1t will be the first of several
2,000-pupil structures planned
for high population density
areas in the central, south and
north sections of the county.
The Edison school, like most
of the other large high schools
now on the drawing boards, will
be equipped with special vo-
cational shop wings, in line
with a recently adopted policy
to expand that phase of edu-
cation.
In awarding the contract last
night to the Mclean building
firm of w. A. Sherman, the
school board agreed to supple
ment the facility with a sep
arate planatarium building al
a cost of $45,649. Construction
of the 25-foot diameter alum
mum doomed structure would
be dependent onreceipt of Spe-
cial Federal science aid anti
cipated in the near future.

NEW GOVERNMENT SECRETARY
THE NAMING OF Cyril E. King to the position of
Government Secretary Of the Virgin Islands was no surprise.
II had been expected for some time. Senate confirmation
was prompt.
THIS APPOINTMENT, as everyone in these Islands
and everywhere else should agree, is a good one. Mr.. King
has been close to legislative matters for many years. He .serv-.
ed on the staff of Senator Hubert Humphrey, moving up to
the professional staff, which handles all the technical mat
tiers for Senators. This is recommendation in itself. But there
is more. Not content to Just maintain his position, Mr.. King
studied for, and received a degree in government from Ameri-
can University in Washington. Thus, not only from the hard,
first-hand, day-to-day knowledge and experience, but also
from the formal and theoretical approaches is this new ap-
pointee fully qualified.
TO D TO ALL this Mi King showed an interest in
his home by volunteering to duty here, and doing a COM
mendabIe Job. Finally, he is a native, which must commend
itself not only to the President, who made the appointment,
but to the Senate, and everyone else.
GETTING THIS appointment was perhaps one Of the
foregone conclusions, and could have been predicted with
a reasonable degree Of certainty. Few Islanders have been
in a better position to reach the White House. AS a member
Of the staff Of Senator Humphrey MI Kings name could
reach the President easily and quickly, and it did.
WE r INDEED fortunate to have this appointment,
and there is every confidence in this corner that Mr.. King
will perform the the kind Of job of which he is capable More,
as one who has always shown keen interest in his home, he
is certain to find himself doing those things which are way
and beyond the call of duty, or the pay check.
IT IS GOOD to see a young man leave these Islands,
work hard, stick to his job, and through preparation and
vision end up in a position Of responsibility in his home,
This type Of experience must be an inspiration to others who
dream Of preparing themselves for real service.

Reasoning With Soviet Dictator

dent de Gaulle and Chancel-
lor Adenauer are all open
books and taking into con-
sideration domestic politics
they are all men above re-
proach.
At least two of these lead
ers, Mr.. Kennedy and Mr..
Macmillan, seem to believe
firmly that by applying the
recognized methods of diplo-
matte ethics, honesty and
good will, they will be able to
lead Mr.. Khrushchev to the
path of righteousness. They
seem convinced, judging by
their words and actions, that
somehow or other. if they
show good will and an under
standing of the problems Of
the dictator, they may be able
to reach an agreement with
him and he will keep it. T
The fact that the Red die
tator has never been known
to keep an agreement, either
with his fellow Communists
in the Kremlin or with his
intended victims, is CLOSED
over in the hopes that this
is all past.
This reporter has yet to
find a single authority on
Russian affairs who believes
that Mr.. Khrushchev will be
able to make good on his
threats to unleash nuclear
war. Among those convinced
of this are Gen. de Gaulle
and Chancellor Adenauer and
their competent advisers. Yet
France and Germany are so
close to the Soviet power that

weapons might be fatal to
