Dormont-Not Dead

The agreement by the Prince
Georges County commissioners and the
National Capital Planning Commission
for purchase of 240 acres of park land
at the Maryland end of the Woodrow
Wilson Zones Point bridge revives hope
for eventual extension of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway through
the county Although the House Ap-
preparations Committee has regarded the
parkway extension as dead, the Planning
Commission properly has refused to
bury it. The Prince Georges part Of
the parkway program is certainly
dormant, but it deserves to be revived
and carried out as planned IS years ago.
Under the latest accord between the
county and the commission, the $500, 900
cost Of acquiring the acreage near the
bridgehead will be split evenly-to the
end that the approaches to the bridge
will be properly protected against un-
desirable types Of development. Part
Of the land win afford a right Of way
for the parkway for distance Of about
a mile south Of the bridge. Land
previously transferred to the Park
service py ST. EllZabethS Hospital will
increase the park area near the bridge
to about 500 acres.
Efforts in recent years by the NCPC
to obtain Federal funds for extension
Of the memorial parkway from the
District line to Fort Washington have
been frustrated by the House committee,
which apparently was impressed by op-
position to the plan by several civic
groups in the area. However, other
civic organizations have indorsed the
parkway. Congress has approved con-
Struction of the parkway through Mont
gcmery County to Great Falls. The
Prince Georges link would complete the
project on the Maryland District side
Of the Potomac river To leave the
parkway unfinished at the southern
end would be deplorable mistake.

RLA's Move

This is not the first time that Will
liam Zeckendorf has accused the Rede-
velopment Land Agency Of lacking "a
sense of reality" in setting prices on land
in the Southwest redevelopment area.
Nor is it hard to understand his desire,
being a businessman, to negotiate for
lower price if that is at all possible.
But Mr.. zeckendorf knows full well
that neither he nor any other prospec-
tive redeveloper can dictate the price Of
land in the Southwest That determine
ton, except where the price may be de-
cided by auction-block bidding, can be
made only by the RIA, in accordance
with its best judgment based on ap-
praisals and on other expert advice
It is good, therefore, to see Neville
Miller, the new RIA chairman, assert
this fact in regard to the plaza" project.
Mr.. Miller takes due note of the uncon-
scionably long time that has elapsed
since negotiations on land price were
begun with Mr.. Zeckendorf. And he has
issued stern warning (although not in
very specific terms) that Mr.. Zeckendorf
had better come to an agreement unless
he wants to lose out on this deal
The trouble, however, as we under
stand the situation, is that the RIA has
not quite reached the point yet of being
completely certain in its own mind about
the land prices at iSSue-at least to the
extent that it is willing to put them
down on take-it-or-leave-it basis And

Wiser Second Thouohts

1t is gratifying that officials of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers have
decided to cancel their proposed boycott
OF Japanese textiles imported into this
country for manufacture into clothing.
Similarly, a big local of the international
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers has
postponed, and perhaps also will cancel,
its plan for refusing to install electronic
components imported from Japan. ..a
Both union decisions followed
warning remarks by President Kennedy
that the proposed method of fighting
low-cost foreign competition could lead
to damaging reprisals in kind in the
exporting country, and it was reported
that he had made direct appeal
through Secretary Of Labor Goldberg
to the clothing workers union to re-
consider its contemplated action "in the
national interest" Certainly Mr.. Ken
nedy's warning was fully justified, and
there Is little doubt that initiation of
battle Of boycottS could spread to a
point of harmful distortion Of normal
export-import trade.
1t is recognized, of course, in
Government and out, that certain
imports from low-coSt countries, of
which Japan is foremost example, are
posing threat to domestic production
in the same lines. There are govern
mental channels through which relief
may be sought, however, and which are
designed to function in the overall
interest of export-import trade. The
problem in textiles, for example, already
is under governmental study. II the
American industry truly is unable to
match foreign competition, its better
hope lies in action at the Government
level rather than through unilateral
union boycotts.

In the light Of public con-
Germ over the pot-holes in
flicted on Washington
streets by our late, unla-
mented winter weather, I am
passing along q tip that ap-
peared in the current issue
Of Asphalt Institute
Quarterly.
The method was dreamed
up by the director of the
Department of Streets and
Public improvements Of
Harrisburg. Pa, at the height
Of the cold weather but,
since our own pot-holes pre-
sumably are waterlogged
from frequent drenchings, 1t
might help here.
Gasoline was poured into
the pot-holes and touched
off by . match. The resulting
fire dried the holes out; soft
ened the adjacent asphalt,
and made possible the plac-
ing Of q tight, and lasting,
cold patch. (Of course, it
also served to warm up the
work crews,-something that,
hopefully, will not be needed
in Washington at this
season.

SHqhtH Cynical

All indications are that the
great liberal, Fidel Castro,
has won a historically de-
ciSive battle in Cuba. He has
secured the island for the
Soviets, opened all Of Latin
America to communism, ex-
posed the United States as
q Sissy pants" power!
Henceforth, in the spirit
Of a true liberal, Castro can
murder hapleSs citizens of
the United States with COM
plete impunity.
Praises be to those In the
State Department who sided
with Castro despite our own
diplom ats warning, and
blocked arms shipments to
the anti-C Communist Batistal
There's another dictator in
Latin America, just as able
as Tito or Gomulka. We've
given them millions in aid.
Both are Communists, like
Castro seems to be. But this

Looks Ahead

1t is reported that the
District Commissioners will
seek legislation requiring
property owners to clear
snow from the sidewalks In
front Of their properties or
be fined for failure to do so.
The present law provides
that the District Government
may remove the snow and
assess the cost against the
property. The Commissioners
say that they cannot make
that law work because they
cannot get the labor to re-
move the snow.
If the District Government
with all its vast resources
cannot get the necessary
labor, how in the name of
common sense can it expect
the individual property own
ers to find the necessary
laborP Will 1t expect women
and old people to get out
and shovel snow? There
is no task which imposes
more strain on the heart
than shoveling snow and
whenever we have a heavy
snow fall many people have
heart attacks while attempt
ing to remove the snow. Leg
islation such as is proposed
by the Commissioners will
result in many deaths.
Many unemployed men
who would be willing to earn
a little extra money will not
take short-time jobs like
shoveling snow for fear that
it might interfere with their
unemployment checks and
for this they can hardly be
blamed. They should be per-
mitted to do short-time,
emergency jobs such as snow
removal without being pen
allied and made to actually
lose more than they earn.
The laws should provide that
men will not be removed
from unemployment rolls for
doing temporary jobs such
as removing snow and the
law should then provide that
any physically capable per-
son on the unemployment
rolls who refused to accept
employment when offered it,
should be separated from the
unemployment rolls
forthwith.

Revolving Is Right

When one considers the source and,
in all fairness, the basis for it, Fidel
CaStroS harangue was notable for its
relative restraint. This is a great deal
more than can be said of Nikita Khru-
Shchev'S latest note to President Ken
nedy.
The piouS Mr.. KhruShchev says the
Kennedy administration is responsible,
in the ill-Starred invasion of Cuba, for
"a crime which has revolted the whole
world"
What we find truly revolving is the
utter hypocrisy, the astonishing effron-
terry, of this accusation. The record is
clear and incontrovertible. Mr.. Khru-
Shchev'S Russia seized and obIiterated
the Baltic states. In the postwar years
it imposed its dominion on Eastern
Europe. Yugoslavia was subjected to
intense political and economic attack
when Tito asserted his independence of
the Kremlin. Russia supported and
armed the North Korean aggression
against South Korea, an aggression
which failed only by virtue of United
States intervention in behalf Of the
victim. Soviet armed forces crushed a
bid for freedom by the East Germans.
And the memory of Budapest, when
Russian tanks and troops slaughtered
the Hungarian freedom fighters, surely
is still too fresh in all minds to require
extensive review.
And now, having established COM
munist beachhead in Cuba in collusion
with the Castro tyranny Mr.. KhruShchev
says he is revolted because the United
States lent support to an attempt by
CubanS to liberate their homeland. In
the face Of the record, which cannot be
disputed, it is extraordinary that the
prestige" Of the Soviet Union appar-
emily remains high while that Of the
United States is decried, even by our
friends. Can it be that in Russia's case
nothing succeeds like success, while in
ours nothing fails so much as failure?

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Water Purifier for Survival Kits
By THOMAS R. HENRY

A new kind of STILL" with
which shipwrecked men
adrift for days under rain
less skies can get out of the
sea enough fresh water for
survival, has been developed
at the Army Engineer lab
oratories at Fort Belvoir, Va.
One can make fresh water
with this still simply by sit
ting on it and operating it
by the heat of ones own
body.
Tne apparatus was devel-
oped by DR., Clyde S. Barn
hart, Fort Belvoir entomolo-
giSt. 1t is entirely for the use
of individual soldiers and
sailors for whom even q few
drops of water might mean
a life-death difference.
1t is thus described by DR..
Frank L. Campbell of the
National Academy of Sci
enceS, after observing it in
action:
1T looks specifically like
a file Of correspondence hav-
ing a minimum of five
sheets. The top sheet con-
siStS of black. plastic film,
the second a piece of paper
toweling or cloth, the third
a water-repellent screen, the
fourth a piece of aluminium
foil and the fifth a cloth
backing for the foil to cool
it by evaporation of water
from the cloth.
How 1t Operates
The castaway dips all
these sheets in the ocean,
thus saturating the paper
toweling and cloth with sea
water. Then be drains off
excess water, wipes off the
aluminium foil with his shirt
and exposes the top black
surface to the sun. In a little
while he opens these layers,
exposing the aluminium sur
face upon which there will
be a condenSate of fresh
water. This he can mop up
with a sponge, to be provided
with the kit, and obtain
water from the sponge.
THE efficiency of the de-
vice can be multiplied by
replication Of layers two,
three and four. On each of
the aluminium layers a con-
densate is formed, diminish
ing quantity as one proceeds
from the top aluminium sur
face to the layers below. The
still can be operated when
the sun is not shining or at
night merely by sitting on
the black surface, thus pro-
viding a temperature differ
ential between the top sur
face warmed by the body
and the aluminium surfaces
cooled by sea water.
THE output of the still
will be proportionate to the
human effort put into it,
and certainly a man who
wants nothing as much as

Let US sit upon the earth
and tell sad stories of brave
men who died in Cuba be-
cause of quarrels, errors,
folly, greed, ambitions, and
an incredible lack Of CO.
ordination.
The Cuban plan" began
more than eight months ago.
A grave. deeply disturbed
President, who has been in
office three months now
knows it was inadequately
conceived and launched with
almost unbelievable unreadi-
ness. He has not, and will
not, make public criticism.
He has spoken only Of the
useful lessons of a sobering
episode"
The background of the
invasion errors, as put to-
gether from the best Of
sources, is essentially this:
Two Basic Groups
The Revolutionary Council
included two basic groups.
There was the ultraconserV-
ative party headed by Miro
Cardona and a liberal group
directed by Manuel (Manola)
Ray. Ray had headed one
Of Cuba's largest construc-
ton firms. He built, for ex-
ample, the Havana Hilton
Hotel. He broke with Ba-
tista and supported Castro.
1t was he, out of his engi-
neering knowledge, acquired
in the United States, who be-
came the sabotage expert for
Castro. More than any one
man he helped crack Ba-
tista's resistance forces and
the morale of the people.
But when Castro was taken
over by Communist leader
Ernesto (Che) Guevara, Raul
Castro and others, Ray made
his way to the United States
and began to head up oppo-
sition to Castro.
From the beginning, almost
a year ago. the conservative
-Cardona group apparently
had the ear of our intelli-
gence office and received the
most support. But the liberal
group grew so strong it final
ly was included in the forma-
ton of the Revolutionary
Council. According to the best
information, Manola Rays
plan was to send in expertly
trained saboteurs who would,
from about May Is until mid
June. do damage where it
would hurt most. A skillful
propaganda campaign would
accompany it.
But Miro Cardona, himself
a dedicated man and a sin
cere patriot, was being urged
by his underground people in
Cuba to act. A decision was
made. But as Of this writing,
the tragic and stunning fact
seems to be that Manola
Rays group was not informed.
Further to confuse and
compound the pathos Of the
errors, one of Cardona's top
military leaders was in the
United States and there is no
evidence, as of now, that all
his own underground people
in Cuba were informed. There
is a strong suggestion that
CaStro'S intelligence agents
had wind of the invasion, If,

Toxpoyer's Lament

Big business can be brought
to Judgment for monopoly. It
is time to bring big govern
ment to judgment for monop-
oily before it has completely
tranquilized us into an un-
American way Of life.
Add Aid! Aid! To this, to
that and to everybody and
everything Federal aid makes
possible such practical and
efficient use Of our resources
as per example: THE Fairfax
County School Board will
have q spare school on its
hands this fall because it
built a 20-roofn school with
Federal aid where only IL
rooms were needed"
I don't want any part or
share Of Federal aid to edu-
cation.
You may be broke. In debt,
out Of work but big govern
ment wants you to pay taxes
on that $675 you may have
made. Then maybe that nice,
kind, efficient big government
will give you aid before you
starve to death.
Raise the minimum wage2
That's another big joke. The
practical thing is to bring
prices down. With private
enterprise ruined and priced
out Of competitive markets
who will pay wages?
The answer is big govern
ment, the welfare state, So
cialisrn or you name it.
We are progressing" to
the point where the poor are
getting poorer and more help
less. Soon they will be unable
to buy even a postage stamp
to protest the poverty big
government has forced upon
them. through their own
apathy or ignorance.

Kennedy Facing Dilemma Faced by Other Presidents

in order to achieve q united
public opinion.
The world has known many
revolutions and all Of them
have been betrayed In some
manner. Only the Christian
revolution in the theological
realm and the English and
American Revolutions in the
political sphere have produced
continuous advancement in
the face Of isolated betrayals
and momentary tyrannieS.
1t would be incorrect and
foolish to brand every Com
munist as an evil creature or
to shrug off the seriousness
and conviction of many of
the Communist leaders as to
the correctness. of their ap-
proach to a new and better
society.
Unfortunately the system
within which they operate
does not permit the achieve
ment of the goals they pro-
fess. Every Communist revo-
luton has been accomplished
through the organization Of
an oppressed, miserably poor
peasantry desperate for free
dom and a little human dig
nifty and was Immediately be-
trayed by a power elite whose
only real contribution has
been the advancement of or
ganizational techniques for
the further development of
the technology Of power.
There comes q time when
enough is too much and the
decision currently before the
President and the Nation is
not whether we will have to
fight but when, where and
how.
