Repayment in Service

Some time ago the Pan American
Health Organization sought from the
w. X. Kellogg Foundation a long-term
loan to finance an urgently-needed
headquarters center here. Now the
foundation, in a generous and heart
warming gesture of inter- American
friendship, has offered an outright
grant Of $3,375,O00, which assures an
early start of construction on land to
be made available by the Federal Gov
ernment at Twenty third street and
Virginia avenue. The only condition
imposed by Kellogg was that the grant
amount be matched by PAHO's member
governments through accelerated ex-
penditureS for health services. During
the next 20 years, therefore, PAHO ex-
poets to allot $187, 500 each year-funds
which otherwise would have been needed
to pay off construction loan-to the
fields Of nutrition, water publication
and health training. Thus the cause
OF eradicating disease in this hemisphere
will realize double benefit, and the
Kellogg Foundation will be repaid" in
the knowledge of the good that will
result,

Cdiro-Moscow Feud

The familiar Soviet Communist
strategy of stirring up trouble first in
one spot on the globe and then in
another has brought the Middle East
back into the news in recent days. In
this instance, Moscow has taken the
initiative in a barrage Of critical press
and radio comment about the United
Arab Republic and the Cairo govern
ment'S suppression of the local Com
muniSt party and It's agents This is
not, Of course, new policy on the part
Of Cairo, and the UAR press and radio
have answered quickly and sharply that
the Arab country is neither aligned with
the Moscow camp" nor subject to
domination and subjugation." Simul-
taneously, it was reported that the
underground center Of Communist
activity in the Syrian region of the
UAR had been found and destroyed.
It would be unwiSe to attach too
much significance to this sort Of bristl-
ing exchange. Still, the press and radio
in both countries are government
controlled and what they say repre-
sents the party line" at the moment.
Although President Nasser has accepted
both economic and military aid from
the Soviet Union and other countries
of the Communist bloc, he has been
more aloof than warm toward the
international leaders of communism.
Only Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, an
irregular" as far as Moscow is con-
cerned, has established close personal
relationship with the top man in Cairo.
Actually, Communist efforts to
establish really solid foothold in the
Middle East have not been overly
successful. Iran, now in the throes of
an economic revolution and often on
the verge of a political one, has man
aged consistently to hold off any Russian
effort at subversion. Turkey, also suf-
fering economic and political troubles,
gives communism no quarter at all, and
three years of revolutionary government
in Iraq have not resulted in a Com
munist take-over. If Moscow is probing
now for a soft spot, Cairo'S quick
reaction can hardly be encouraging to
the Kremlin.

Mode-in-Moscow Label

Travel in South America is begin
ming to sound normal with reports of
student demonstrations against Adlai
Stevenson and Communist-blessed ral-
lies protesting the United States en-
voy's mission. 1t is, of course, old stuff,
as well as bleakly unimaginative, to
identify representative of our Gov
ernment as an "envoy of Wall Street
and the Pentagon."
Obviously it matters little that
Mr.. Stevenson Is touring the Southern
Hemisphere capitals for the primary
purpose of constructing plans by which
Uncle Sam can do more to make life
better on that continent. Nor is it
surprising that this made-in-M Moscow
theme song should be employed by the
youthful Latin left-wingers against the
Democratic Mr.. Stevenson just as it
was against the Republican Mr.. Nixon.
The Communist stooges are nonparti-
san viS-a-viS official visitors from the
North.
But If these public demonstrations
are only habit, however sinister, it is
noteworthy that Mr.. Stevenson's meet
ings with officials of the South Ameri-
can governments repeatedly are con-
firming the belief that there is little
interest in any possible joint action
against Fidel Castro and his Commu-

niSt-oriented administration in Cuba.
The most that has been suggested is
policy of paying less attention to him,
and it has been made clear at some of
Mr.. Stevenson'S stops that economic
sanctions such as severed diplomatic
relations are not acceptable.
For his part, the American envoy
has directed his greatest attention
toward laying the groundwork for the
July Is meeting of the American
Economic and Social Council, when it
is hoped that realistic program for
President Kennedy's alliance for pro-
gress" will be fashioned The Kennedy
plan was well received initially and
reports indicate that Mr.. Stevenson has
received additional evidence of serious
interest and intent. No doubt there
will be so-called students picketing
the July meeting as an exercise of evil
imperialism, but the best hope is that
the Latin leaders and their people at
large will find in it something much
more worthwhile.

Prefers Good News

Your issue Of June 5 con-
tanned two letters to the
editor which were quite
pleasing to me-both relat-
ing to happy conditions
and/or services at the Zoo
here in D. C. I have always
maintained that good news
is news. too, and for years I
have been trying to get q
local paper to have a section
or feature spreading good
news instead of the depress-
ing items Of murder, rape
suicide, treachery and trea-
son, highway disasters, etc.
1t seems we are fed a con-
stant diet of these negative
things-many Of the items
from abroad and from un-
known people in far-away
corners OF the world.
AS an old song goes, Look
for the silver lining" and we
will certainly find much that
is pleasant to cogitate and
appreciate, reports Of kind
acts among humans.
This constant "yammer-
ing" Of crime, treachery.
treason, yoking, ETC., is de-
pressing and utterly devoid
of any principle which would
inspire people to q better
standard of conduct.

No Answer in Siqht

Chancellor Adenauer says the West
Germans will never agree to the latest
Russian proposals for settling the Ger
man question. And Secretary of State
RuSk adds ''it is evident on it's face" that
the United States does not agree with
the new Soviet suggestions.
In the light of the seeming hopless-
ness Of trying to negotiate anything
with the Russians, there certainly Is no
reason to suppose that Mr.. KhruShchevs
note to President Kennedy envisageS
anything except settlement" more or
less on Soviet terms. Mr. KhruShchevS
minimum demand is an agreement
which would freeze the existing bound
aries between East and West Germany,
plus some disposition of what he calls
the "cancerous growth" of West Berlin.
Naturally Mr.. Adenauer is not going to
agree. And in view of the commitments
which we have made, the United States,
even though the Russian note is said to
be under Study" is hardly in position
to agree, either.
It should be recognized, however,
that rejection of the Khrushchev pro-
poSals does nothing to solve the problem.
The existence Of the two GermanyS is
a fact, and there is nothing to stop Mr..
KhruShchev from carrying out his threat
to sign separate peace treaty with East
Germany, thereby tending to confirm
It's existence as a separate state. And
this, of course, would leave Berlin iso-
lated 10 miles inside East Germany,
with its lifelineS subject to haraSsment
and possible interruption by the East
German authorities.
That this should be so, 16 years
after the end of the war, is deplorable
state Of affairs. Nor Is there the slight
est prospect, as far as we can see, that
1t will be rectified by the "free elections"
for which the West has called and is
stin calling. In such situation, nothing
might be gained, but little could be lost,
II the East and West Germans should
get together, as Mr.. KhruShchev sug-
geSted, in an attempt to work out their
own solution.

Error of Omission

Although The Star was
alert enough to catch q mis-
print, or rather an omission
which occurred in its early
editions Of June 5, for the
edification Of those who saw
only the early editions we
felt we should set the record
straight.
An Associated Press story
on the pamphlet New Per-
spectiveS on Sub Saharan
Africa" distributed by ADA,
should have read that among
the elements necessary to an
effective American policy in
Africa are opposition to-re-
peat, opposition to-colonial-
ism and racialism in Africa,
It's those vital little words
Opposition to" or some such
equivalent which were miss
ing. And even though any
one would know that shrimps
would have to do more than
whistle before ADA would dis
tribute a pamphlet plugging
racialism and colonialism in
Africa, we thought it would
be a good idea to correct the
omission for the many Star
readers.
Incidentally, this pamph-
let. and one entitled New
Perspectives on Northeast
Asia" (the latter by Prof.
Robert Scalapino Of the Uni
verSity of California;. are the
first two of q series being dis
tributed by ADA honoring the
memory of the late and great

Year 1000 Plan .

Up to this point, the long
plans Of the National Capital Planning
Commission have assumed that urban
expansion in the Washington area would
continue to spread out slowly, as one
planner put it, "like waffle-batter
poured on the table" The So-called
Year 1000 Plan, which now has been
made public, is sharp deviation from
this thinking. It emissions growth of
such magnitude in the coming decades
that new forms of land control will be
essential in order to avoid (1) costly
and inefficient public services, (2) the
gobbling up Of every bit of valuable and
attractive open space and (3) chaotic
system Of transportation.
Thus far, however, this conclusion
has been accepted only by officials of
the NCPC and of its sister agency, the
National Capital Regional Planning
Council. The question now is whether
officials in the suburban jurisdictions,
who are the only ones who can establish
such controls, will agree.
AS the planners pointed out to the
political representatives of the counties
and nearby cities at luncheon on Fri
day, there is more than one way the
goal of attaining orderly growth can be
achieved. Certainly good deal more
study is needed on some elements of the
approach recommended by the planners
that new urban growth be con-
centrated largely in "radial corridors"
tanning outward from the District,
centered largely around arterial free
ways and rapid transit lines. But is this
approach really so revolutionary? If
the ambitious plans for a rapid rail
transit system come to fruition at all,
a certain amount Of this concentration
will occur normally. And by the same
token, If the area truly desires an
effective rapid transit system, such con-
centrations of high-density residential
development near the rail lines will be
essential to make the transit operation
a success.
In any event, the presentation Of
the Year 1000 study report to the Wash
ington Metropolitan Regional Con-
ference on Friday was excellent. It
would be too bad, in fact, If the govern
ing bodies of the various political juris-
dictions in the region missed hearing it.
To that end, we suggest that each
governing group request a full-Scale
presentation in its own area, to which
the public would be invited. Perhaps a
citizens advisory committee could be
set up in each county to study the pro-
poSals and report back. In such a pro-
gram, the Regional Conference would
be the logical co-ordinator. This kind
of study would inevitably explode the
myth that there is nothing to worry
about, that perhaps future growth can
be discouraged, or that the Washington
region can remain in the future as 1t
has been for so many years in the past.

Youth Concerts

In the rebuttal to Congress-

cultural content of Carter
Barron programs, Jay Car
mody stated that the Nation
al Symphony Orchestra could
not be used in the summer
because it had given 1876 regu-
lar performances, including
children'S concerts. 1t is pre-
ciSely because there is no full

In performance, especially as

formance of children's con-
certS.

clans having to play an end
less string of youth concerts,
which any local amateur en-
Semble could perform equally
well is sickening. especially
since it is as much an excuse
to provide as much seasonal
employment for the orchestra
personnel, as to educate those

Human Bonddqe?

M ny Government en-
ployeS will likely join in this
refrain, so here goes:
Some of our ambitious
agency and department heads
around town are permitting
such high-presSure tactics in
the sale Of Government bonds
by salary deduction, that
many employees feel it has
reached a stage that it more
properly ought to be labeled
coercion.
Younger, or lower ranking
employees, often have the i'm
preston that they must sacri-
flee badly needed life insur-
ance and mutual fund invest
mentS, simply because their
failure to approve a payroll
deduction for Government
bonds usually means a con-
ference with q superior who
has little interest in their
financial objectiveS, other
than the aggregate sale of
bonds in his agency or de-
partment.
A survey Of the length of
time bonds are held by per-
sons induced to buy under
such circumstances, might
shed some light on some of
the additional costs Of Gov
ernment within the offending
agency, as well as the issuing
and redemption agency that
needlessly processes short
term" bonds.
I can recall o time when
the Treasury Department dis
tributed a bond sales leaflet"
that advised prospective pur-
chasers to buy adequate life
insurance first; establish a
savings account second; and,
buy Government bonds with
any other funds available for
long-term savings. What has

WATCHING THE World
Will Geneva See the End of an Era?
By CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreign Correspondent OF The Sfar
GENEVA,

GENEVA,
This town is like a stage
set. You have q feeling you
could drop by any time dur
ing the next 10 years and
find the same performance
going on.
There would be the same
theatrical setting of blue
water and sunlit cafes. At
the MaiSon de Ia Presse cor
respondents would still be
drinking their Americanos,
awaiting their phone calls
from Prague or Omsk or
Teheran. At the Palais des
Nations the same actors
would be doggedly going
through the same routine a
little older and fustier and
wearier perhaps, but still
carrying on.
The feeling is natural
enough after seven years of
dropping in and out of
Geneva for conferences of
important people who never
seem to accomplish very
much. And yet today it may
be quite untrue. If there is
one thing that strongly Sug-
gestS itself in the somber
light Of President Kennedy's
meeting with Premier Khru-
shchev, 1t is that a pleasant
and rather goofy era of con-
ference diplomacy may be
coming to an end.
At least Mr.. Khrushchev
seems to have done his best to
convince the President that
there is precious little pur-
pose in going on with the
show. If he means what he
said in Vienna, there is not
a single major negotiable
issue between the East and
West. The seven-year effort
to find some "accommoda-
ton" with Russia-on Ger
many or Berlin or disarma-
ment or nuclear testing or
what have you-haS merely
concealed unpleasant reali-
ties and postponed painful
decisions.
Even on the issue Of Laos,
which seemed to offer some
slight basis for hope at Vi
emma, the Russians have
shown themselves quite un-
yielding on any important
point. There is. in fact, less
flexibility in the Russian po-
Sition today than at any time
within the last seven years.
And optimiStS who hoped that
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko would return to Ge-
neva with new and more con-
genial instructions have been
sadly disappointed despite the
decision to meet today and
the joint British Russian
note to the International Con-
troll Commission in Laos. This
note calls on the warning
factions to stop fighting.
Harsher Relations Seen
A growing number of pro-
fessional diplomats are now
coming to the conclusion that
q new and harsher phase of
East-West relations is in the
m q king. The Communist
leaders apparently have de-
cided that they have tenn
porized long enough in win
ming their major objectives
and that endless talk no
longer serves their purpose.
If so, the coming months
promise to be anything but
pleasant for the West. The
dangers in a new harden
ing Of the Russian line are
obvious in the context of the
immediate problems under
