This will be the final report
for the 87th Congress, First Ses-
sion, which is scheduled to adj
journ Saturday. September 23.
The oldtimers tell me that this
has been a strenuous session ana
that the feelings at times have
run very high. This session has
seen the extension of existing
laws and the creation of new. 1t
has seen a substantial increase
In the spending and an increase
in the debt limit, and from all in
dications we will have a deficit
for this fiscal year of somewhere
between IS and $40 billion.
The country has experienced
international tensions with the
action i'm Laos, in Cuba, in Brit
ish Guiana, the uncertainty in
Brazil, and, of course, the very
tense situation in Berlin.
There have been charges and
countercharges relative to a
tough policy on Communism,
both abroad and domestically, and
I generally came to the conclu-
sion that the people at home
are better informed and have
more definite ideas than the
members of Congress or the
members of the Executive Branch
of Government.
As Congress adjourns, the Unit
ed Nations General Assembly is
taking up debate on the admis-
sion of Red China, the banning
of nuclear testing, and the Congo
problem. II is my hope that most
of the members of Congress will
take the time to 60 home during
the recess period and get a first

uents, friends, and neighbors as
to what our destiny should be

Dubious Rift

For the time being at least, Foreign
Minister Chen VI Of Communist China
has put an end to all the slightly tire
e some speculation that has been recently
flooding the world in connection with
the latest rumorS about a rift between
Moscow and Peiping. Conceivably, Of
course, these rumorS-which recur every
other month or So-n1ay have more
than q grain of truth in them, but the
. West would be exceedingly wishful, and
even reckless, If 1t took them at face
value and shaped policy accordingly.
Mr.. Chen, in any event, has been
at pains to suggest that all is sweetness
and light, more. or less, between Mao
TSe-tung and Nikita Khrushchev. He
has done so by addressing these words
to . rally in Peiping: "The Chinese
people will unSwervingly adhere to
Marxism-LeniniSm and proletarian in
ternationaliSm, abide by the 1887 Mos
COW declaration and the 1860 Moscow
statement, forever closely unite with
the -. peoples Of the Soviet Union and
OF other Socialist countries and struggle
for new victories In our common cause"
Accordingly, the West has reason to
be leery Of loose talk about strained
relations between GeneraliSSimo Mao
and Premier Khrushchev. After all, in
this crucial testing period of world
history, these two have much more
reason to hold fast together than to
split, even though there may be an in
herent conflict in the long range in
tereSts of their countries. AS Of now,
certainly, it would be sheer folly for our
side to bank on the possibility of near
future break between them.

out the recommendations Of

the existing retired pay in
equality: In the Senate,

in the House, HR4331 by
Congressman Kilday, and .
number Of. other bills.

uncomplicated. proposing only
to restore to one ever-Shrink-
ing group q right 1t formerly
enjoyed, a right still enjoyed
by the constantly increasing
members Of the second group
which receives the higher pay.

those who retired before
June I, 1855 still hope-this
late in the session-for some
action by Congress before it
adjourns.
In the midst Of great ma

time may be found for a
simple act of justice, to
abolish the painful inequality
Of pay-and its accompany
ing inference Of inferiority.

There,H AIwoys Be q Jones

In congressional discussions Of Dis
trict fiscal affairs, there always seems
to be at least one member who argues
that Washington taxpayers are sponging
on the rest Of the country. During the
recent House debate on the District
budget, this distinction fell to Repre-
sentative Jones Of Missouri.
"The people Of Washington" Mr..
Jones said, "have never paid their fair
share Of the taxes. They have looked
to the Federal Government and to the
Federal contribution for taking care Of
all the facilities that in other COM
nlunitieS are financed out of special
tax levieS."
Well, the Federal contribution" in
the bill as it passed the House amounts
to just about II cents out Of every dollar
appropriated. District taxpayers, and
no one else, are coughing up the other
80 cents. When you consider that not
too many years ago the Federal Gov
ernment was paying d full so cents of
every dollar as its fair share of the cost
Of running the Nations Capital, why
there is not much more that need be said
But of course Mr.. Jones was not
really talking to the District, or even,
for that matter, to his colleagues in the
House. In comparing (among other
thingS) the District real estate tax rate
with that Of his own home town "a
meaningless comparison by itself, Mr..
Jones was talking for the benefit of the
folks back in Missouri. And since that
was fully understood by everyone, there
is no cause to take. him too seriously.
In one statement, however, Mr..
Jones did say mouthful. He said he
recognized that the Federal Government
had some responsibility" to the Capital
City, and that 'the contribution ap-
proved by Congress should be in pro-
portion to the responsibility accepted
by the taxpayers"
We have been arguing that for years.
Ever since Congress departed from the
concept Of basing its annual payment
on q fixed percentage Of the total Dis
trict budget the District has been short
changed. Not until we get back to some
type Of tixed-percentage formula is
there likely to be fair shake. And If
Mr.. Jones can help bring that about the
residents Of Washington will be eternally
grateful.

formed that some 909o Of the
original parkway would be
acquired under the Kirwan
plan. The Star is incorrectly
informed that only one citi-
zenS group is seeking to ex-
pose this Kirwan ,"compro-
mise" for what it is-an
emaSculation of the parkway
by Mr.. Kirwan, dictated by
Mr.. Kirwan to the planning
commission. The Federation
Of Civic Associations of
Prince Georges County, and
some 18 to 20 individual

themselves with the PreSi-
dent, Secretary Udall, the

gress in effect for over 80
years. No civic organization
whatever has opposed the

trary exercise Of the power

The Honford Issue

The House used poor judgment in
rejecting, by vote Of 176 to lao, the
proposal to convert the new reactor at
Hantord, Washington. into dual
purpose facility capable of producing
not only plutonium for weapons, but also
between 100000 and 100000 kilowatt-
hours Of electricity for peaceful uses.
Unless the Senate reverSes the
House action, and the item is then re-
stored in conference, the reactor-which
is in the process Of being built and
which will be completed next year-will
serve only strictly military purpose.
Yet; as 1t produces the plutonium, 1t will
give off byproduct Of great potential
economic value. This will be tremen-
douS quantity of heat that could be so
utilized as to make the facility, wholly
apart from its weapons role, by far the
biggest OF the worlds present atomic
electrical power plants.
The proposal turned down by the
House would create this facility by
investing $95 million In equipping the
reActor (Which would more than pay for
ITSELF to harness the heat and turn the
resultant electricity into the Bonne-
vile network for distribution-largely
through, private utility syStems-in the
Pacific Northwest. But the private
utilities have lobbied vigorously against
the idea, and so have coal interests, and
1t has been defeated primarily on the
ground that it would put the Atomic
Energy Commission in the public power
business and thus constitute another
"socialistic" encroachment on free en-
terpriSe. ~s~~7 go
In the debate on the issue, however,
Representative Chet Holifield, chairman
OF the Joint Congressional Atomic Com
mittee, has pretty well demolished these
and kindred arguments. He has shown,
for example, that the basic law gov
erning the Acc specifically authorizes
the sort OF power output that the dual
purpose reactor would generate. He
has made clear, too, that such a reactor
at Hanford could not hurt the coal
industry, and would actually make ad-
ditional electricity available to private
utilities "at a very cheap price" And
Representative Robert E. Jones Of Ala
barna has backed up Mr.. Holifield with
this telling point:
=. :. the installation Of the electric gen.
Grating facilities at the Hanford reactor Is
in the best interest of all Of the. American
people. What could be more justified than
to convert into electricity-at no cost to the
taxpayers - the tremendous amounts Of
reactor heat which otherwise win be wasted2
To blow this steam into the air or use it to
heat UP the Columbia River surely would
be, regarded by people everywhere as an
incredible extravaganza
Everything considered, the weight
OF logic and common sense rests
heavily on the side of those who adj
vocate the dual-purpose facility. Ac-
coFdingly, we hope that the Senate will
support the proposal and that the House
Will reconsider what it has done and
enable the project to go forward.

Yuri Charms London

There was q pleasant man-in- the.
street atmosphere about the warm public
welcome given In London to Soviet
Spaceman Yuri Gagarin. And equally
refreshing were the young cosmonaut's
modest behavior and friendly words in
response to this greeting on his first
poSt-orbit trip to big Western capital.
From the moment that he walked
down the landing steps Of the Soviet
twin-]et airliner that brought him to
London until he lunched with Queen
Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace, the 27-
year-old Russian Air Force major pre-
Sented himself more as a relaxed guest
pleased to be there than a care
fully drilled man on some sort of
propaganda mission. Following the
Russian custom Of answering applause.
with applause, he clapped his hands
gaily as he arrived and stood In
his specially licensed (YG-1) Rolls
Royce to wave to the street crowds that
hailed him en- route from airport to
Soviet Embassy. At a news conference,
he, showed more hunnor than did some
Of his queStioners, and was quick to
diScla1m that q space-trip around the
globe had changed him from an ordinary
person to q celebrity. There was no
suggestion in his words or manner that
his personal experience, or the accom-
plfshment of the Soviet Union in hurting
him into space and back again, were
part Of any Saber-rattltng exercise
For their part, the LondonerS seemed
equally down-to-earth-if the phrase
may be used in this connection. And while
there was some criticism in the British
press that welcome at higher official
levels had not been arranged, a meeting

Duncdn's Appointment

Although the appointment
Of John B. Duncan. as Dis
trict Commissioner may be
a sort Of political pay-off,
it is not without precedent
and President Kennedy de-
serves tall praise for making
it. There is certainly reason
to suppose that much COM
munity sentiment is in Mr..
Duncan's favor. Conversely,
there are probably many who.
would like to see him fail, In
order to buttress their per-
Sonal bias.
The primary justification
for the appointee's. nomina-
ton is not that he belongs
to Washington's numerical
majority. 1t lies rather in
the fact that he Is q promi-
nent citizen. Of clear compe-
tence. His color should be no
factor pro or con. ~.
Mr.. Duncan's designation
as Commissioner, when and,
If confirmed by the. Senate,
will, therefore, become o
symbol Of the maturing proc
ess Of I, democracy in our
Nations Capital. The op-
portunity for responsive
growth will then be his.

Prince Georges Parkway

In letter on this page, James F.
Vance describes the bitter diSappoint-
ment in Prince Georges County over the
failure Of Congress to appropriate the
Federal share Of funds necessary to
acquire the complete right-of-way for
the George Washington Memorial Park
way-a disappointment which we share.
We, too, wish that Representative Kir-
wan would permit the parkway project
to move ahead at full speed, and we are
fully aware that many citizen groups
in Prince Georges are working actively
in behalf Of this project.
We do not agree, however, as the
letter seems to imply, that the plan
outlined by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission is total surrender Of
the parkway concept, for the political
fact Of life which must be faced is the
conviction Of the Planning Commission
that 1t is impossible to win congressional
approval OF the parkway now and that
rather than see the Potomac Shoreline
disappear in building development-it is
better to preserve those portions of it
which might be saved as "parklandS."
1t Is our hope that some future Congress
may yet permit the road to be built.
Furthermore, since the lands proposed
for acquisition are within the legal
boundaries of the George Washington
Parkway as described by the Capper-
Cramton Act, William Finley, the Plan
ming Commission director, says he be-
lieves that the county will face no legal
problem in providing its share of the
matching funds.

whose pronounced bias
prompted a Congressional
warning: while the Trans
portation Plan of 1859 is a
valuable starting point for

would be a. mistake to ac-
cept that plan without fur
ther study" These Congress
Sional misgivings were wholly
justified because the Mass
Transportation Survey began
its study by excluding at the
outset any consideration
looking. toward the up-grad.
ing of existing facilities. The
exclusion was unjust, unec-
onomic and undemocratic,
but the beneficiaries did not
protest.
In response to Congress
Sional staff questioning
whether transportation sys-.
TENS built only on projected
trends will themselves pre-
clude desirable development"

special consideration" be
given to expanded use Of
existing facilities and serv-
ices" Accordingly, certain
emergency provisions" we're
enacted into the statute

fort was made In vain be-
cause the practical decisions
were abandoned to those who
had consistently identified
themselves with the ad-

the practical decisions were
made without discussion Just
