THE WORLD
Will u. S. 'Reopproise' NeutroIs?
BY CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star

suggested that this limit was
perilously close to being
reached.
Nor is reappraisal strictly
confined to the question of
economic aid. NeutraliSm-
including the most virulently
anti-Western kinds, after
all, largely the by-product of
the policy of containment of
communism. 1t rests entirely
on an assumption of vigorous
Western power and the use
of this power everywhere in
the world to resist the adj
vance of Russian and Chi
neSe domination.
They Depend on West
At Belgrade, the nom
aligned leaders universally
deplored the opposition of
the two major power blocs.
But it goes without saying
that if these blocs did not
exist or more specifically, if
the Western bloc did not
exist - the neutral nations
would not exist, either. Even
the merest suggestion that
the United States is in a
mood to review its commit
ments in certain areas of
the world would produce a
miraculous change in the
perspective of some of the
most outspoken critics of
aggressive Western impe-
rialiSm."
The danger, of course, is
that the reaction at home
may go much too far. Today
the chief concern of profess
SIGNALS abroad is that the
meeting in Belgrade could
produce a wave of bitterness
in the United States which
would play into the hands of
isolationists and those who
oppose foreign aid in general.
If no distinctions are drawn
and no restraint exercised.
the results could be little
short of catastrophe for
American interests through
out the world.
Despite the shrillness of
the anti-Western group in
Belgrade, the fact is that the
results of the meeting were
by no means entirely mega
tive. In the end, an impor-
tant group of moderate neu-
trails, led by midas Nehru
and Burma's U NJ, waged a
bitter and largely successful
fight to prevent domination
of the conference by its radi-
cal wing. The outcome of this
struggle was a final commu
nique far more restrained in
tone on most vital points
than the earlier speeches had
led observers to expect. In
deed, the conference, instead
of unifying nonaligned opin-
ion, tended in the end to d.
vide it more deeply than
ever, with the predominant
strength quite apparently on
the side of the moderates.
This division must obvi-
ously be taken into account
in any reappraiSal of Amer
lean programs and policies
that may be forthcoming.
The results at Belgrade may
suggest the advisability of
more discrimination in the
future when it comes to
choosing beneficiaries of aid.
But any wholesale revision or
reduction of effort is most
certainly not what the stu
alton calls for.

Revolt in New York City

New York City Democrats broke
long tradition yesterday in handing
Mayor Bob Wagner his smashing victory
in the primary battle for denomination.
For this is the first time in many years
that Democratic candidate for the top
post in the big city has been able to win
over the united opposition of the five
county organizations, the machines"
which normally control New York's
politics. On this occasion, all were
joined in support of State Controller
Arthur Levitt and the wide margin of
his defeat is a clear reputation of the
Bosses
The number one casualty, of course,
is not Mr.. Levitt himself, who had never
been magnetic political figure and
turned out to be a relatively colorIess
candidate in this instance. 1t is, in
stead, the controversial Carmine De
Sapio, Tammany Hall chief, who was
ousted from the district leadership in
his own Greenwich Village area and
thereby becomes ineligible to continue
in the post of New York County (Tam-
many HalD chairman.
Perhaps only New York City Demo-
Gratis can explain precisely why the
revolution took place. Until this year,
Mr.. Wagner himself had been a loyal
associate of the party bosses and his
administration in City Hall has not
been model of great effectiveness or the
subject of marked enthusiasm. When
he broke with Tammany, however, he
did offer the various reform elements
in the city a single well-known person
atty behind whom they could concen-
trate their long and not always we'll
co-ordinated efforts to depoSe De Sapio
and to rebuke the other county bosses.
1t was predicted that heavy vote would
mean a Wagner vote, and 1t turned out
this way with record breaking primary
total of more than $4,000.
For the future, the results Of yes
terday appear to offer two prospects.
The first is that Mr.. Wagner's chances
for reelection in November are very
bright. Even if the county Democratic
organizations drag their heels in sup
porting him, he is the official party
nominee and will move into the next
chapter OF the campaign with strong
momentum. He has, also, the indorSe-
ment of two labor dominated splinter
groups, the Liberal Party, which always
commands large bloc of votes in New
York City, and the smaller Brotherhood
Party. The chances of Republican can
didate Louis Lefkowitz have diminished
accordingly. The second prospect, ard
perhaps an intriguing one to Mr.. Wag-
ner, is that if he wins his third term
in City Hall he may we'll establish his
position as New York States most prom
inent and powerful Democrat. On that
basis, the opportunity would be avail
able-if he wants ito run for Gov
ernor against the incumbent Republic
can, Nelson Rockefeller, in 1862. This
may not be an unmixed blessing, but
the door has been opened at least for
Mr.. Wagner to speak in louder voice
in the State and national forums of his
party.

A nuclear power plant that
can be moved freely from
place to place now is being
developed by the Army.
1t has become feasible, &C
cording to a spokesman for
the Army's nuclear power
program, to construct nu-
clear plants with enough
mobility to support forces in
the field.
The kind of plant now
being designed weighs a little
more than 38 tons. It can
be transported on a standard
trailor-tractor, by ship OF
barge. by railroad flat car,
or - in separate parts-by
cargo aircraft. 1t thus can
be set up anywhere troops
are located - even under
combat conditions at a field
army's headquarters.
The newly devised plant,
according to an Army report,
is operative in a range of air
temperatures from SIS to
100 F. 1t can operate at full
power for 10000 hours with
out refueling, and is designed
to be operable within IL
hours after arrival at a site.
ReactOr Shielded
A radiation shield sur
rounds the reactor. This is
housed in a tank of water
which provides additional
protection for personnel
while the plant is in opera
ton. Preliminary testing is
expected to be completed late
this year.
A complete nuclear power
plant-not a mobile one
now has been accepted for
the Army's "city under the
snow" Camp Century,
Greenland. The $4-million
plant will deliver a maximum
of 1860 kilowatts of electric
ity and 1000 pounds Of steam
each hour.
1t will use enriched ura-
mum fuel which will take the
place of more than $4,000
gallons of diesel oil which
would be required annually
by a conventional power
plant. 1t can be transported
by air when major compo-
nentS are dismounted.
The development means, it
is claimed, that eventually
semipermanent military set
ups can be relieved entirely
of the burdens of transport
ing fuel for power.

Among the more drama
tic results of the conference
of unaligned nations that
ended in Belgrade this week
could well be an agonizing
reappraisal of Am erican
foreign policy when it comes
to continued support and fl
nancial aid to some of the
countries represented there.
So far as Western diplo-
mats are concerned, this was
a particularly distressing as
pect of the abuse so literally
heaped on the West in the
course of the Six-day meet
ing. With rare exceptions,
the public speeches Of the
neutraliSt leaders in Belgrade
added up to the most elo-
quent and devastating argu-
ment against the American
foreign aid program ever
heard. And the fact that this
argument should have been
made at a moment when this
very American aid program
is under critical attack in
Congress compounded the es-
sential stupidity of the per-
Torrance.
The results could be ex-
tremely serious, indeed, when
one considers the great de-
gree of dependence of many
of the most violent critics on
continued American support.
To cite only one case, Yugo-
Slavia has recently presented
the American government
with a large request for ur-
gently needed assistance, in
Guiding thousands of tons of
wheat to offset disastrous
crop failures. Most certainly,
these requests are due for a
critical re-examination in the
face of the political attitudes
expressed by Marshal Tito in
the course of the conference.
Within the next few weeks,
the Yugoslav government has
some serious explanations to
make.
Issue Is Results
To this extent, reappraisal
Of past American policies
seems thoroughly justified.
1t is not a question as some
nonaligned leaders loudly
claim of attaching political
strings to aid or interfering
in the affairs of other coun-
tries. 1t is a question merely
of whether the results OF
these policies, as reflected in
the political attitudes of the
countries involved, justify
continued sacrifice on the
part of the American tax
payer.
Many who sat through the
recent conference came away
with a feeling that the SUBJ
lime arrogance of the Titos
the Nkrumahs and the Su-
karnos of the world could
stand a bit of healthy della
ton. Those who proclaim the
moral obligation of the rest
of the world to support them
and then use this very aid as
a club to beat their benefac-
tors can hardly hope to es-
cape forever the consequences
Of their own lack of realism
There are limits. after all, to
the patience of the most de-
dicated advocate of Ameri-
can aid programs. And the
reaction of some diplomats
to the goingS-on in Belgrade

Prods Prince Georges

OISCIlCJ GOtCI IlILlSIlG.
Prods Prince Georqe!
Now that the countrywide
issues facing Prince Georges
residents next year are being
formulated, we would do we'll
to give greater attention to
the situation which has
arisen due to the lack of
effective police protection.
Since 1850, Prince Georges
County has grown at the rate
of $50 people per week. 1t
has taken on an urban char
acter, with urban law en-
forcement problems. But its
police force has simply failed
to keep pace with the county.
Statistics recently appearing
in the press illustrate, more
graphically than generalities
possibly can, just how in
adequate law enforcement
in Prince Georges is getting
to be.
Item. Since 1865, the Prince
Georges crime rate has nearly
trinled rising from 208 to
1872 felonies per hundred
thousand residents.
Item. In the first six
months of 1861, Prince
Georges led every other
metropolitan jurisdiction in
traffic fatalities. registering
Is traffic deaths, as opposed
to 10 for it's nearest COM
petitor," the DiStric, of
Columbia. This unfavorGble
comparison exists despite the
markedly higher population
and auto registration in D. c.
Item. Commercial gambling
is apparently increasing, if
purchases of Federal gaming
stamps are any indication.
In the current year, 80
establishments in Pri1 e
Georges bought $50 gaming
stamps, compared with 81
establishments purchasing 1874
stamps in the previous year.
No stamps were purchased
in D. c., Montgomery County,
or Northern Virginia.
At the same time, the
county's overtaxed police
force, having a responsibility
for the lives and safety of
$4,000 people, remains at
202 men, and is supplemented
by a few municipal officers
in some localities. I'm nearby
D. c., a jurisdiction of 753,-
900 people. the authorized
strength of the police force
is now 5000 men, Despite
this undertaking, a 1862
budget estimate providing for
AZ additional officers and
four clerical employees was
slashed from a requested
$201, 00G to only $4,000. At
the same time, the amount
authorized for the purchase
of police cars to cover the
486 square miles o. Prince
Georges County was cut to
$4,000 from $4,000, the
amount spent in 1861 and
again requested in 1862.
Moreover, Prince Georges
policemen have long been the
poorest paid in the Metropol-
itan Area, all of which poses
a critical problem in recruit
ing and retaining qualified
officers.
We cannot realistically
expect that criminality found
in other metropolitan juris-
dictions can be contained
by political boundary lines.
There is also an element
residing in every community
which has a vested interest
in lax law enforcement. If
this interest is not to prevail
to the detriment of every
one else, the Prince Georges
situation must be promptly
and effectively remedied.
Both the residents OF the
county and its governing
officials must candidly rec
ognize the problem as one
of the biggest challenges we
face, and must energetically
meet it if it is not to over
whelm us all.

The Rambler's column Sep
TENDER 4 struck a chord on
my favorite subject: the
renovation of general holi-
days.
The Star printed a letter
from me some time ago on
this subject. My suggestions
were to use the four seasons
as a starter, like the primi-
tive peoples.
For the winter solStice.
Christmas and New Year to
remain as is. For the Spring
Festival, add the Monday
after Easter.
Midsummer should have
two or three holidays; say
July 4, one in August and
Labor Day. November IL to
be dropped and Columbus
Day substituted, since that
comes in what is sometimes
the finest weather of the
year.
For Decoration Day. this
should be a State holiday.
Some of the Confederate
States observe this in April
for the reason that the out
door flowers are at the best
then. Originally people used
the home grown variety and
there naturally is a differ
ence between the blooming
times.
And lastly Thanksgiving
Day to mark the end of the
football season.
My principal grippe in the
first place was that there
we're too many winter holi-
days.
With best wishes for the
start of a movement for the
change.

HAPPIER Holidays

AS an old newspaper editor
turned diplomat, I have be-
come a Rambler fan. 1 en-
Joy George Kennedy's wide
range of subjects. I particu-
larry like the twists and sur
prise endingS.
I read with interest the
column on Labor Day. But
the Rambler did not have
to go as far away as England
to get examples of Monday
holidays. Canada has been
gradually switching it's ma
tional holidays to Monday
until now more than half
always fall on the week end.
The displaced persons of
the American Revolution who
were the founders of English
speaking Canada brought
Thanksgiving with them. For
years this was celebrated on
a Thursday. Then the gov
eminent got the bright idea
of celebrating it when the
maple trees were at the
height of their fall glory on
the second Monday in Oc-
tober. In Canada, this means
much better weather than
late November.
For years we celebrated
the Sovereign's birthday on
May "a. Now we mark the
Queen Of Canada'S birthday
on the Monday preceding
May "a. 1t does not matter
to Canadians that the Queen
was born in April. Her Ca
madam birthday is set by
proclamation and always falls
conveniently on Monday. Just
to confuse Americans. Her
Brittanic Majesty's birthday
comes on a different day,
usually in early June.
At Easter we have the
longest holiday weekend of
the year with both Good Fri
day and Easter Monday holi-
days. Then, like you, we cele-
brate Labor Day on the first
Monday in September. The
only Canadian holidays which
do not fall on week ends are
Christmas, New Years, Re-
membrance Day November
I'D and Canada's birthday,
July /.
When the second Monday
in October comes and the
skyline drive is glorious in its
color and the days are still
comfortably warm, think how
fortunate Canadians are to
be celebrating ThankSgiv-
ing.

Because of its richness,
duckling blends well with
tart fruits. In fact, duckling
roasted with orange has be-
come almost the standard
method of preparation in ma
ny fine restaurants. However,
it is delicious just seasoned
with salt, pepper, and ginger,
stuffed with any desired
dressing, and roasted to a
juicy crispness. When duck
ling is stuffed, allow 35 min
uteS per pound dressed
weight, at 325 degs. F., and
cook breast up on a rack
without covering or adding
water. With this, warm apple
sauce and candied sweet po-
tatoeS make fine accompani-
mentS.
The fat which cooks out of
the duckling roasts may be
saved and used as a shorten
ing. 1t has a distinctive flavor
which adds taste to the dish
eS in which it is used, and
consequently is especially
suited to bland foods.
The amount of duckling to
allow for each portion varies
with the recipe. Generally, a
roast duck of five pounds,
dressed weight, is carved to
serve four. However, many
lovers of this fine bird con-
slider two or three a more
suitable number.
Here are two recipes which
take advantage of the affini-
ty of duckling for tart fruits.
Either is delicious enough to
be the main course of a gala
dinner.
