Architect John F. HarbeSo:
Of Philadelphia, president o.
the academy composed o.
painters, architects, sculptor!
and others, was critical of Sec.
retary Udall'S "fault-finding'
with statues and memorials anc
of his disagreement with thu
program through which they
were developed over many
years.
I'VE have suggested to tht
Secretary that he consult the
Fine Arts Commission in al
matters pertaining to civic art
in line with Congress desire,
he commented.
Letter Expressed Regret
Earlier this week, the Ma
tional Sculpture Society, in an
open letter (printed on The
Stars editorial page Monday
expressed regret over Mr.
Udall'S censure of existing
works of art and added:
I'VE are aware that after
only three months in office
he has not had time to fully
assess what has been developing
for a century and a half"
In a letter signed by C. Paul
Jennewein and Adolph Block
president and vice president OF
the society, the organization
said:
For a Nations art, 100
years are a short span and
three months are infinteSimal. "
Both organizations apparently
objected to blanket condem-
nation by the Secretary that
most Washington statuary is
poorly conceived both as a
work of art and as a personal
tribute to its subject"
Mr.. Udall also has expressed
the opinion there are "too
many memorials" in Washing
ton.
Partially Explained
Today, an Interior Depart
ment aide said he believed Sec
retary Udall's views had been
somewhat garbled," but that
the press Of government busi-
ness precluded his taking time
to clear them up precisely.
His sympathy with cultural
matters is well known, and he
certainly is not advocating
that Washington be swept
clean of statues, as some per-
sons mistakenly seem to be-
lieve," the official said.

Kennedy and Khrushchev Expected to Meet in Vienna June , and 4

WASHINGTON R - An of ficial announcement of a Ken nedy-Khrushchev m t n g in Vienna June 3 and 4 is expected before the end of the week.
 Administration officials said President Kennedy wants to dis cuss informally with Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev a wide range of cold war problems with heavy emphasis on his belief in the ur- gent need for agreement on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons tests.
 Returning yesterday from visit to Canada, Kennedy now has about 10 days in which to pre- pare for the meeting and for a conference with French Presi- dent Charles De Gaulle at Paris May 31-June 2.
 The White House and State De partment were formally silent on completion of arrangements for the Kennedy-Khrushchev meet ing. But a number of develop ments Wednesday gave support to reports Kennedy and Khrushchev have substantially agreed to get together.
 At Ottawa, White House News Secretary Pierre Sainger dis closed that Kennedy had dis cussed the prospective Khrush- chev meeting with Prime Minister Diefenbaker. That was the first public word from the White House beyond Salinger's earlier statements this week that there were no plans for such a confer ence "at present.

A CHALLENGING PRICE

President Kennedy has given his fellow
Americans some specific answers to the
question so many of them have been asking
in one form or another: What can we do
to help our country? If Americans respond
as they ought to respond to this challenge,
they will set foot on an arduous but salts
flying road.
There was nothing new in the goals
Mr.. Kennedy discussed, nor in the means
he proposed for achieving them. This adj
dress to a joint session of Congress was
essentially a restatement of things that
the President and others had said before.
The messages principal significance lies
in Mr.. Kennedys emphasis on the peoples
Willingness to pay the price as the key
factor in success.
The price to be paid is not the relativ-
ely easy one of Smelling out more tax
money for projects involving heavy expen-
ditures. That is part of it; the chief ex-
ecutive did call for spending an additional
81 400, 100000 in fiscal 1862, and said the
cost would go up. But other aspects of the
price are far more demanding
The President called upon Americans
"to exercise self-restraint instead of push
ing up wages or prices, or overproducing
certain crops, or spreading military secrets
or urging unessential expenditures or inn
proper monopolies or harmful work stop
pages" That in itself is a heavy demand
to make, but there was more. Americans
also were asked to understand and accept
a long struggle" to serve in government,
the armed forces, the Peace Corps; to set
a high level Of participation in civil defense
educational improvement, the practice of
democracy; to learn more about other
peoples, and share our resources with those
less fortunate
And so on. Nothing easy there This
is not something that can be done casually
in our spare time. This is a challenge to
a tremendous undertaking.

SHRINE FOR HAMILTON

AleNdUuST was SICdI SliOuSli
to Justify making his home a national
shrine. The proposal, sponsored by New
Yorks Sen. Jacob X. Javits and endorsed
by the Interior Department and the Bud
get Bureau, is to move the house from its
present congested neighborhood in Manhat-
tan to the campus of the City College
of New York.
Hamilton was one of our four or five
greatest public figures. Washington's aide
in the Revolution, he took prominent
part in the Constitutional Convention.
There his usefulness was impaired by his
own contempt for popular government, but
he contributed much by advocating a
strong presidency, one of the Constitu-
tion's most successful features.
He became our first secretary of the
treasury and is still considered our great
est. His idea that the federal government
should take over the states debts was a
big factor in aligning them behind the
national government. A loose confedera-
ton of states, such as many wanted, would
have fallen apart at the first strain.
Hamiltons last service came when he
resolved the presidential deadlock between
jefferson and Aaron Burr in Jefferson's
favor. He know Jefferson to be an honor
able man, and distrusted Burr. For this he
incurred Burr's lasting enmity, and was
killed by him in duel in 1904.
Talleyrand, Napoleon's foreign minis
ter, who knew Hamilton well, ranked him
as Napoleons equal. Certainly Congress
should make his home a national shrine.

POCKETBOOK PICKING

For months the nation has been regal
ed with comment on recession, depressed
areas and unemployment. We are told that
the government must move aggressively to
encourage economic growth. But the rem
edies proposed, in many instances, would
require more taxes and would offer none
of the inducements that would stimulate
investment in American enterprise, create
jobs, and increase our national productive
ty and income.
For example, we see the powers that
be in Washington urging sitter taxation
of millions of investors who are already
penalized with double taxation The way
this works is simple: Profits made by a
corporation are first taxed at the corpora
ton rate of 81 per cent, and then any
dividends paid to individuals are taxed at
the personal income rates ranging from
20 to 81 per cent.
In 1854 Congress took notice of this
injustice, and provided modicum of re-
lief whereby the first $50 of dividend in
come received by an individual is not tax
ed, and a per cent tax credit is allowed
on any additional dividend income. That,
certainly, is little enough. But it is now
proposed that the dividend exclusion and
credit allowances be repealed.
1t would be a strange way to encourage
economic growth to tell 100000 share
owners in American industry that their
tax on dividend income is to be increased
by the small amount they are now allowed
as credit. This would discourage savings
and investment in productive enterprise.
Virtually every one of the free worlds
major industrial powers, growing faster
than we are, has so liberalized its treat
ment of dividends, that investors receive
at the very least, twice the tax credit Am
erican shareowners experience.
1t is inconceivable that Congress will
resort to this type of pocketbook picking
if it is serious in its avowed desire to
encourage economic expansion.

PROBLEM STILL WITH U

The so called population explosion has
been overshadowed, as a subject of con-
troversy, by news of startling information
al and outer space developments. This does
not alter the fact that the world popula-
ton is expected to pass the three billion
mark this year and virtually double again
by the end of the century. The problem
of potential over-population is very much
with us.
The postwar era has seen no demands
for "lebensraum" similar to those heard
at one time from the Germans and the
Japanese, perhaps because the have-nOt
peoples of the world are pinning their
hopes on technical and financial aid from
other countries to bring them greater &C.
onomic prosperity. Yet midas ambassador
to the United States has said that his
nations population growth is to a large
extent multiplying multi-billion-dollar fore
ign aid.
While il is true that for a time NAL
thus predictions about population growth
outstripping food production seemed who'll
ly invalid because of scientific advances,
the rapid progression of the population
in this second half of the goth century
has now reached such proportions that
scientific advance is being left behind.
The solution is not an easy one. Religious
population and deeply imbedded in some
major religions, have hampered large
scale efforts at population control
Nevertheless, the facts of extraordin-
airy population growth remain. Barring an
automic war or far more widespread and
effective control methods than have yet
been employed, the rate of growth will
continue unchecked, with perhaps disas-
trous results to the world economy.

A MAN ON THE MOON

No fully satisfying answer has yet been
made to the question: Why should the
United States spend billions to place an
expedition on the moon? No matter what
is said about the scientific values of such
an undertaking. about possible military adj
vantages, about u. S. prestige in the eyes
of the uncommitted world there remains
a nagging suspicion that the billions might
be spent more usefully to ameliorate sad
conditions here on earth.
Notwithstanding this feeling, it now
appears very likely that the United States
is going to invest enormous sums in an
effort to win the so called space race with
the Soviet Union. President Kennedy has
asked the nation to accept his plan, at an
additional cost of many billions of dollars,
for Handing a man on the moon and
returning him safely to the earth" The
President also recommended that more
effort-and money, of course-be expended
on such other space developments as wealth
er and communications satellites and nu-
clear-powered rockets. Public sentiment be-
ing what it is, Congressional approval for
much of this probably will be forthcom-
ing.
1t thus becomes more important than
ever that we have some clear idea of why
we are devoting so much attention to space
achievements. AS was noted above, the an
swers have not been satisfying. The Presi-
dent offered another answer in his mess
age to Congress: eve go into space be-
cause whatever mankind must undertake,
free men must fully share" That does
not entirely resolve the question, either,
but it does help to explain why many
thoughtful persons think vigorous space
program will be worth the sacrifices that
will be required.
