Williams summed 1t up rather graph
ically in these words: "The Kennedy
administration has been spending $780,
900 per hour more than its revenue "a
hours a day for every day it has been in
office" This should be meaningful to
the people who eventually will foot the
bill, either in more taxes or more
initiation.
The Delaware Senator also had
something to say about the manner in
which this administration has been
putting people on the Government pay
roll Every day the executive offices
have been open under the Kennedy ad-
ministration," he said, additional Gov
ernment employees have been added at
the rate of more than every minutes"
And this, it should be emphasized,
is Just the beginning performance
after mere few months in office. What
has become of all the fine talk about
economy in Government and sound
fiscal policies?

The Outlook: Grim

President Kennedy'S news confer
ence statement on Berlin seemed di-
rected as much to the American people
as to Moscow.
: In the latter context; his statement
was largely reiteration of the formal
note sent earlier in the week. Soviet
reaction to that note, apparently lacking
guidance from the Kremlin, has been
couched in general though hostile terms.
Moscow Radio, for example, accused the
Western powers of aiding and abetting
the sinister forces which seek to start
another war" Pravda said the West was
using Berlin to provoke "a new rush of
military hySteria." And so on. Mr.. Ken
nedy may have been replying to this
kind of comment when he said: 1--WE
again urge the Soviet government to re-
consider its course, to return to the path
Of constructive cooperation it so fire..
quently states it desires, and to work
with its World War II allies in conclud-
ing just and enduring settlement of
issues remaining from that conflict"
More meaningful perhaps was Mr.
Kennedy'S Sketchy preview of things to
come in our own country. These pre-
sumably include request for more de-
fenSe money, possibly the calling up of
some National Guard units and reserves,
and the concerting of these preparations
with such steps as our allies may be
taking.
e. The President said the details will
be revealed in a speech he will make
Tuesday night and message to Con-
gresS the following day. It hardly need
be said that these will be momentous
pronouncementS. For their impact on
American life will be significant, and
this remains true whether the purpose
is to put our military house in readiness
for a forthcoming showdown over Berlin,
to convince the Russians that we are
serious when we say we will defend our
rights in the German city, or to improve
our position at the bargaining table If
and when negotiations are begun.
The point is that preparations of
this sort, If undertaken at all, cannot
be Of the token variety. A mere gesture
would deceive no one, least of all the
Russians. We do not suppose that any
thing in the nature of a large-Scale
mobilization is under consideration. But
If there is to be any Gallup, the number
Of men brought back into active service
certainly will have to be substantial.
And it will hardly be feasible to return
them to civilian life any time soon.

Active Committee

On behalf of the 81 men,
bers of the House Committee
on Education and Labor, I
wish to thank you for the
editorial praising the fact
that we passed the Freed
mems Hospital bill out of
committee where it has been
buried for six years.
I would like you to know
that this committee, both
Republicans and Democrats,
is working full time trying
to catch up for the lost years.
Even though the Republicans
are the opposition party the
cooperation, even when we
differ, is magnificent. Credit
must also go to our staff
which is totally new except
for Russell Derrickson who
has served Tor 10 years as an
employe of the committee and
is now chief of staff.
In a report to me, covering
the first six months of COM
mittee activity. Mr.. Derrick
son stated that the committee
has held 80 executive sessions
and reported IL bills, while
the subcommittees have held
a total of 142 sessions and re-
ported IA bills, which rep
resents more work and &C
tivity than this committee
has done during a comparable
period in its entire history.

Reeves Case Blame

The letter in The Star Of
July II from the NAACP's
Rev. jackson regarding the
Reeves affair is most dis
appointing in that it reveals
an emotional and inflexible
approach to a public issue.
The truth is that had
Reeves been white, blue or
green he still would have been
shot down in flames by the
Senate committee because of
his bad record of tax de-
linquencieS and a question
able loan from a local liquor
dealer with which to pur-
chase an expensive home.
Although Mr.. jackson is a
highly partisan Democrat
(and has been active in the
party's local affairs for q long
time) he should not put the
blame for the Reeves debacle
on the local press-or on
COP Chairman Carl Shipley
but right where it belongs:

dent in naming such an un-
qualified man to high office

Schools in Distress

The refusal of the Rules Committee
to give the House an opportunity to con-
slider three major education bills inflictS
an undeserved penalty on many public
school syStems-those in the Washing
ton area included-which are counting
heavily on the ell-eStabliShed program
Of aid to Federally impacted areas to
see them through the coming year.
If the blockade to the adminiStra-
tion school proposals, set up by the Rules
Committee, is not removable at this
session, the Education Committee should
give immediate priority to a separate bill
to continue at least the aid-to-i -impacted-
areas program. In the Washington re-
gion alone, these funds amount to more
than $40 million year-not in the form
Of windfall but to ease the increased
costs of public education which result
directly from the heavy concentration of
Federal installations and personnel. In
most Washington jurisdictions, school
budgets for the 1862 year would be Sc
verely upset if the program were sud-
denly cut of. In varying degrees, these
problems would be duplicated in 319 con-
gresSional districts around the country
which include impacted areas. It is small
wonder, therefore, that the Republican
Policy Committee of the House has urged
its members to support separate i'm
pacted-areaS bill.
At his news conference, President
Kennedy spoke strongly against the
separate approach in favor Of retaining
the impacted-area provisions in the
Stymied general aid-to-education meas
ure. 1t is his hope, of course, that such
retention would enhance the prospects
of the omnibus bill. A great deal of
damage would be done, however, If the
Unprecedented provisions should go down
the drain. The President knows this, and
we do not believe he would refuse to
sign a separate bill providing this as
SiStance.

I would like to take issue
with your feature writer,
Betty Beale, over her column
of July IA.
Since when, in order to
grow up socially, does one
country have to copy an
other? If, in order not to be
called "hayseed", we have to
ape the French in food, cloth
ing, art and manners, then
American prestige is really
at an all time low. If we are
to receive people according
to the role we play in the

sell those things American

sound, sensible members Of
the real estate fraternity, that
this F. H. A. ruling was q

suit. they have sold not one
acre of potential subdivision

of thumb, that land purchased

Captive Nations

Upon the anniversary Of
the proclamation Of the
third week in July as Cap
tive Nations Week, one would
pen a few thoughts.
1t seems that a StanZa from
Shelley'S Song to the Men
of England" might also de-
scribe the present situation in
some of the nations in East
ern Europe:
The seed We SOW, another
reaps; The wealth We find,
another keeps; The robes
We weave, another wears;
The arms We forge, another
bears"
Americans, If you would
value your freedom remem-
ber, that though compromise
is essential in q free and
democratic society, it is also
essential that a democracy
never compromise her free
dom. And again, those who
lightly esteem their freedom
will soon have their freedom
esteemed lightly. However,
with regards to freeing cap
tive nations, a word of warn
ing has been issued by one
wiser; Freeing oppressed ma
tionalities is perhaps the most
dangerous Of all philan-
thropic enterprises"
Richard Saunders, II.

The Conflict in Koshmir

One firm impression left by PAX
iStan'S President Ayub in his visit here
is the reminder that there will be no
true peace between India and Pakistan
until there is a settlement of the
Kashmir problem. Repeatedly, in his
talks with American officials and with
the American press, the PakiStani leader
emphasized the gravity Of this long
standing territorial dispute, the emo
tions which it arouses in both nations
and the danger that the heavily-armed
cease-fire line now dividing the territory
might at any moment become battle
ground.
Almost as an echo, reaction from
New Delhi confirmed this appraisal,
even while rejecting all implication that
India has been the more guilty party in
creating and perpetuating the crisis or
that creating the climate" for finding
solution is now the greater RESPONSE
bility of Prime Minister Nehru AS a
practical matter, there is no evident
prospect of progress toward settle
mentor perhaps even Of any effort-in
the near future, despite President Ken
nedyS expressed hopes that this would
be possible.
Kashmir, territory about the size
of Minnesota, lies strategically at the
northwest apex of the Indian subcon-
tinent. Not only contiguous to India
and PakiStan, it shares long frontier
with Red China and Communist
controlled Tibet-a border that is not
authoritatively defined. At the far
north, only short and narrow strip of
Afghanistan separates it from the Soviet
Union. One of the many United Nations
officials who have studied the Kashmir
problem has warned that its Communist
shared frontiers are an open invitation
to Red infiltration of the subcontinent.
In the United Nations, the Soviet Union
has sided frequently with India in
debate and action on KaShmir.
When India and Pakistan received
their independence in 1947, Hindu
maharaja was the absolute ruler of pre-
dominantly Moslem Kashmir. Aloof
from both countries at first, but seeking
protection from Moslem tribesmen, he
later chose to join India. At the same
time there was promise by Mr. Nehru
that a plebiscite would be held eventu-
ally to permit self determination. When
Indian troops moved into south Kashmir,
Pakistan forces occupied the northwest.
It was more than year later that
cease-fire was negotiated under U. N.
auspices, and it is along this line of
suspended hostilitieS that the territory
is still divided.
In the years since, numerous U. N.
efforts at mediation have come to
nothing. India has ignored or rejected
every recommendation for a plebiscite.
Neither side will agree to troop with
drawal unless the other goes first, and
the military buildup has continued at
the expense of other needs. With every
aspect Of their relations embittered by
this one issue, the ability of both coun-
tries to achieve domestic progress or to
exercise international influence has
been seriously damaged. And the end

An annual forecast of wars
20 years in the future now
is being prepared by the
Army's Research Command.
1t is intended primarily to
predict from all available
evidence and indications,
what sorts of weapons may
be in the hands of any DO
tential enemy this far in
the future. The potential.
tiles change from month to
month, so constant revision
is essential.
What Is new under the
current program" says an
Army report, "is the placing
OF primary attention on
chronological forecasting as
a separate but integrated
function Of programming for
the benefit of all types of
Army planners. Toward this
end. the program calls for
annual scientifically oriented
forecasts, each covering a
period of at least 20 years.
Input Of information and
ideas come from all levels
among planners, techniCians
and scientists"
Alert for New Weapons
There have, the report
points out, been all sorts Of
forecasts in the past. The
difficulty has been that the
forecasters often were ignor-
ant Of chronological advances
already in the works either
here or abroad. Hence there
were often no programs for
defense against them.
The purpose is primarily
one Of defense against the
sudden appearance Of some
such weapon as the tank In
the hands Of the enemy,
which completely changed the
course Of World War I
and Of all subsequent wars.
But armor may turn out to
have been q very moderate
innovation compared with
some allegedly being de-
veloped by potential foes.
Foresight for the timely
development of the weapons
systems and other military
equipment Of the future-a
visionary, vital approach to
the Army's constant objec-
tive Of remaining superior
to the potential enemy in all
respects is strongly empha-
sized" says an Army report.
Purpose Of the forecasts is
to aid the long-range Army
planners in formulating new
concepts and requirements
within as realistic q time
structure as is foreseeable." :"
