Sham Battle

The weekend child's play at the
site of the Battle of Bull Run is harm
less diversion, we suppose. The roar of
cannon, the rattle of muSketry, the
spectacle of charging cavalry and of
marching men, with their flags, their
drums and their bugleS, are imaginary
images of the lost pageantry of war still
capable of stirring the emotions, and the
Tooth anniversary of the event furnishes
a plausible excuse for the sham.
This silly business would perhaps
have served more useful purpose, how
ever, if re-enactment of the battle itself
could have been replaced by realistic
scenes Of the field after the battle had
been fought, when death and suffering
and the indeScribable tragedy of war had
taken command-as they always have
and always will.
For this is a grim week end, not
because of what happened century
ago at Bull Run but because of what
might happen almost any day If we
lack the wisdom and the strength to
prevent it. Our thoughts should be with
those in authority who are seeking to
invoke such safeguards today, rather
than with those who failed a century
ago.

Crockdown On Nozis

: It is: reasonable inference that
the sentences imposed on two of George
Lincoln Rockwell's Arlington Nazis-12
months on the State road gang-wilI
discourage them and their fellow storm
troopers from manhandling teen-age
youngsters. Still, this doesn't get to
the root Of the problem
-. In our opinion the storm troopers;
If any lawful means can be found, should
be put out of business for keeps. This
will not be easy, for Rockwell and his
crew enjoy the same constitutional pro-
>tections that extend, for example, to the
Communists. This is CALLING, but 1t
nevertheless is a fact.
Certainly, however, the authorities
in Virginia are not required to submit
to what amounts to a continuing public
nuisance. A vigilant surveillance ought
to be able to prevent further breaches
Of the peace. And If it is true that Vir-
ginia law permits these swaggerers to
appear in public with revolvers strapped
around their waists, the Legislature
should be willing to correct this stu
alton. Adoption Of such remedies as
these would not necessarily put the
Nazis out of business. But at least it
would significantly reduce their nui-
Sance potential.

solely through natural causes (an in
crease of births over deathS), even If
there were no increase in Federal en-
ployment. In point Of fact, employment
of all kinds is expected to expand, so
that total population of million is
anticipated by the year 1000. During
this period, however, the ratio of Federal
workers here to total area population
is expected to continue a downward
spiral
We believe, therefore, that the
answer to all the complex problems of
the future lies not in attempts to cir
cumscribe growth, but in efforts to
channel that growth in such a manner
that it will be manageable, and to de-
velop through intergovernmental agree
mentS new forms of machinery to
deal with transportation, water supply,
housing and all the other facilities of
thriving metropolis. The so-called
Year 1000 Plan developed by the Plan
ming Commission is one step in this
direction-an approach which is both
more challenging and more realistic
than to diSmember the Nations Capital.

Signs of Life

While 1t is small matter In
relation to larger problems pressing on
his shoulders, 1t is gratifying that Presi-
dent Kennedy has found time to fill
two of the four vacancies on the board
of trustees of the National Cultural
Center. For this project will move
ahead only if there is spirited leadership
at the top, and, since the change of
administrations, it has languished with
out positive direction. Still to be re-
cruited by Mr.. Kennedy are chairman,
who should be a person of national
stature, and, of equal Importance, some
one to direct the $30-million fund
raising drive to finance the initial phase
Of the ambitious project.
We hope these appointments are
made soon. At least a breath of life has
been stirred, however, by the naming
OF Mrs. Mary LaSker Of New York and
Stanley Marcus of Texas to the board.
These are admirable appointees. Both
have strong interests in the arts, and
have been identified closely with the
sponsorship of other cultural endeavors.
Perhaps most important of all, however,
they will be representative of the ma
tional character of the Cultural Center
which was envisioned by the law
creating it, and which must be identified
more precisely If the people of the
Nation are to view 1t as anything
more than project of limited local
community interest.

The School Bills

The burial of the administrations
basic school bills by the House Rules
Committee demonstrates at least one
thing-that the issue of Federal assist
ance to parochial schools is very much
alive. And although the President has
urged that the Rules Committee be by
passed, We do not think that any bill,
providing general aid to public educa-
tion, can be brought to vote in the
House without the bitterest kind of fight
over the parochial school question.
If this is correct, why not defer the
battle until the next session? There are
provisions in the general bills which are
desirable. Other provisions, in our
opinion, are of doubtful value to say the
least. There is also the fact that this
country is facing an uncertain future.
We can be sure, however, that national
defense is going to require more spend
ing, and, probably, bigger deficit. If
the Berlin crisis really heats up, this
spending, and deficit, could be very
substantial. So why not wait until it
will be possible to take more accurate

future will impose on the taxpayers
dollar? Our school system, which has
been steadily improving without the
proposed Federal contribution, is not
going to collapse in the meantime.
There is one exception-the pro-
gram of help for the so-called impacted
areaS-areaS in which concentration of
Federal personnel has imposed heavy
and abnormal burdens on local school
systems. There are hundreds of these,
including the areas around Washington.
If this assistance is not forthcoming, the
quality of education in these localities,
far from being improved, will un-
doubtedly be impaired. Consequently,
we hope that legislation dealing with
this long-recognized problem will be
enacted But we think that the rest of
the package can wait.

Menshikov On Berlin

Soviet Ambassador Mikhail C"Smiling
Mike") MenShikov now is returning
home for Six-week vacation from his
duties here in Washington, and his
departing remarks are worth some
attention. Speaking in a shipboard
interview, he has displayed a con-
siderable amount of ioviality. In fact,
even though he has warned that
mounting tension over Berlin could lead
to World War III, he has been at pains
to declare in generally amiable man
ner that there is still enough time to
think things over and to get together
wisely and peacefully at a conference
and try to work out peace treaties with
Germany"
Thus, in answer to question asking
him whether the present situation might
not explode into war, Mr.. Menshikov
has replied as follows: IF you have in
mind West Berlin-whatever they want
they will have. Whatever access to the
city-they will have it. What do you
want to fight for? We don't want to
harm anybody. The freedom of Berlin
will be preserved" This is line Of talk
that does not quite square with Premier
KhruShchev's menacing harangues. But
maybe, or so let us hope, the Soviet
Ambassador, when he arrives in Moscow,
will give Mr.. K. an earful of advice that
may help to promote peace by caution
ing the Kremlin against miscalculating
our American mood.

On Regulating Growth

Representative ReuSS of Wisconsin
is absolutely right when he says that
firm and specific policy must be devel-
oped to deal with the future growth of
the Washington area in order to avoid
"formleSs, SpraWling monStrosity" of
S million people. We think he is wrong,
however, when he proposes that the
best way to accomplish this is to de-
centralize the Federal Government.
For there is one pre-eminent rule
which should govern always in the loca-
tion of every Federal agency: Whether
the location of that agency in Wash
ington is in the best interests of the
Government. If the location of certain
agency elsewhere is more advantageous,
then it should be moved (or in the event
of new agency, established) elsewhere.
But this is decision which must be
based on the merits of each individual
case, and is not susceptible to any such
broad dispersal formula as Mr.. ReusS
suggests. Washington was established
for sole function-to provide central
seat of Government. Perhaps there are
exceptions, but the major reason 239, 900
Federal employees are working in WASH
ington today is that their presence here
is more conducive to the orderly admin
iStration of the Nations business than if
they were scattered around the country
a Nor can it be argued that the mush-
room growth of this area during the
period since World War II is the result
of any appreciable increase in Federal
employment. Indeed, during the last 10
years Federal employment in the Wash
ington area has remained constant,
while the population of the region has
mounted by half million AS for the
future, the National Capital Planning
Commission estimates that during the
next 40 years the current 2-million
population of the area would double

100 Years Ago

The Confederate victory at
the first Battle of Bull Run
worked like a bitter tonic on
the North. It washed away
all illusions of a quick and
easy triumph over the South.
1t also injected new life into
Federal army that up until
then consisted largely of 90
day volunteers. AS time came
for these to be mustered out,
many expressed willingness
to re-enlist if assured they
would serve under competent
officers. Too many Union
officers were politicians, or
their friends, or influential
pillars Of their communities,
totally unskilled in the art of
war. Feeling against these
ran high. Washing gton
saloons were crowded with
them after the retreat from
Manassas. Walt Whitman
looked them over and wrote:
There you are, shoulder
straps! But where are your
companies? Where are your
men? Sneak, blow, put on
airs. No explanation shall
save you. Bull Run is your
work =" Indeed, hard
drinking, disorderly officers
and troops were causing so
much trouble in the Capital
that the citizens were clam
oring for their scalps. The
Star on July 26, 1861, de-
clared something drastic had
to be done. 1t said: How
greatly better order in this

On Buying Friends

The greatest charity to our
fellow man is not in feeding
him when he's hungry or
ministering to him when he's
sick since that would be the
expected from any upstand-
ing person. But the greatest
charity is to help our fellow
man so that by his own ef-
forts he can provide for his
own livelihood.
President Ayub Khan Of
Pakistan in his blunt speak
ing before Congress has
gained the widest approval
and commendation even from
the very Congress to which
he spoke. While I admire his
forthrightness in stating his
position, I, as an individual,
perhaps take the lonely view
that his demands" were not
discreet. To aid people is a
wonderful thing. To feed
them when they are hungry,
to assist them when they are
sick and to provide shelter
from the elements are the
kinds Of foreign aid every
humane person would sup
port. Such aid to reach even
to those that are in conflict
to our very thinking and
outlook. Such aid should not
be given to make friends.
Such aid should be expected
and for no other reason.
When Mr.. Ayub places the
friendship" Of his country
as the price Of aid, I can
only feel that friendship pur-
chased at a price-any price
~ can hardly be worthy as
such. Friendship should de-
velop out Of normal under
standing and mutual regard.
It should exist as an intangi-
BILE. It should not be depend
ent upon material circum-
stances.
Friendship between nations
is most volatile. Those Of yes
teryear who were our mortal
enemies today become our
friends. Those of today who
are our friends can tomorrow
become - who knows? The
guidance of our Nation or
any nation as to who are our
friends or who are our enc
mics is our own national in
terest. There is no better ex-
ample than when Thomas
Jefferson, who at heart was
closely attached to France,
would have asked for war
against France if France took
possession Of New Orleans
from Spain. Thomas Jeffer-
son felt that New Orleans
in the strong hands of France
was a threat to the develop
ment Of this Nation. Under

Landscape Avenue?

If our cities are not to
become vast fields of asphalt
and concrete, it is going to
be necessary to give some at
tention to the possibilities of
landscaping in connection
with engineering and con-
Struction projects large and
small, government and pri-
vate. AS the Nations Capital,
Washington should have par
ticular incentive for showing
the way.
The removal of the car
tracks along Pennsylvania
avenue offers one opportu-
nifty for some imaginative
planning. Without any loss Of
effective space for traffic and
with improved traffic safety
and control, the car tracks
could be replaced by a center
divider appropriately planted
with Towering shrubs and
trees such as azalea, euony-
nous, abelia, dogwood, birch,
holly, etc. The center divider
could be broken as needed
to provide for left turn sit
uationS from both directions.
Low-growing shrubs would be
utilized where desirable to
afford no interference with
inaugural and other paradeS.
A basic planting Of hardy,
drought resistant shrubs
would be inexpensive and re-
quire little maintenance. A
somewhat more elaborate
scheme would provide for
water and lighting utilizing
the existing third rail"
trench to minimize the costs
Of installation.
What an addition to the
city such a planted strip
would be. Pennsylvania ave-
nue. could become a veritable
boulevard rivaling that of
any Of the world capitals.
