inflicted on Philippine properties during
World War II. Congress, after careful
study Of the situation q year after close
Of the war, authorized payment for the
damage, but at the time appropriated
insufficient money to meet all the
awards approved by a United States
Philippines War Damage Commission.
Apparently most Of the opposition
during debate on the measure centered
around awards to large firms, including
brewery and race track corporation.
However, all the awards have been held
to be justified by the reparations COM
mission and others who have investi-
gated the claims. To default on the
entire debt because of dissatisfaction
of several members Of Congress with the
nature of certain awards is to dishonor
national obligation in a manner that
affrontS our ally in the Far East. We
hope the House will reverse its unwise
action Of last Thursday and that the
Senate will give overwhelming approval
of the bill.

Study in Illustration

Tomorrow morning the sponsors Of
the Watergate project in Foggy Bottom
will trudge once again to the Fine Arts
Commission in their seemingly endless
attempt to obtain firm decision from
the District government on whether
their $50-million reSidential-commercial
project may be built.
More than a year ago, they filed
the first Of series of applications with
the District, the most important of
which sought rezoning Of the Virginia
avenue site of the project to permit
building heights Of 100 feet instead of
the 80 feet now allowed Since then the
project has come three times before the
Zoning Commission, eight times before
the National Capital Planning Commits
son and three times before the Fine Arts
group. It's sponsors have conferred with
countless municipal agencies and have
made numerous changes in their plans,
including one which would dedicate a
prime portion Of the privately owned
site to the national park system. The
crucial coming decision is still to be
made.
We hope that the principal archi-
tect Of the project, Luigi Moretti, Of
Rome, will succeed tomorrow In over
coming the Fine Arts Commission oppo-
sition. For we do not believe that its
eSthetic objections to the proposed 130-
foot height are at all persuasive. It is
true that the so-called "curvilinear"
design is at variance with most COM
mercial architecture in Washington. But
in our opinion the result, which places
a premium on public open space and
garden-like surroundings, and which
proposes quality Of housing that would
rank with the finest in the city, would
be distinct asset.
Regardless of what happens at the
Fine Arts Commission tomorrow, it is
the Zoning Commission which even
tually will have to pull its head out of
the sand and render a decisive verdict.
We trust that when this occurs the
commission members win keep in mind
that the developers today are free to
proceed, with no change in current
zoning, to construct development that
still would be 80 feet high, that would
cover IS per cent Of the site instead of
48 per cent, that would provide surface
parking instead Of underground spaces
for 1880 cars, that would make no
dramatic contribution to the tax base
of the city, and which in every sense
would be quite ordinary.
If the sponsors should decide in
Illustration to follow this course, no one
could blame them.

Mekonq Line

The report that President Kennedy
has decided to use American troops If
necessary to halt the Communist ad-
vance at the Mekong River, which runs
for the most part between Laos and
Thailand, has created hardly a ripple.
Yet 1t is fateful decision, freighted
with the prospect of far-reaching
consequences.
The Presidents hand was forced by
the collapse Of the Royal Laotian
army, which is fleeing all along the
front before the advance Of the pro-
Communist rebels. One Of two choices
had to be made. We could let nature
take its course and accept the very real
risk that all Of Southeast Asia-Laos,
Thailand, South Vietnam and Cam
bodia-would fall to the Reds. Or we
could decide to make a stand and try
to stem the tide.
In choosing the latter, Mr.. Kennedy
and his advisers undoubtedly hope that
the Russians will use their influence
to halt the Red advance rather than
risk war with United States forces
in part of the world that is as mac
cessible to them as to us. But this is
hope; nothing more. And the Chinese
Communists may force the issue If the
Russians do not.
One reads rosy reports that the
United States could rush reinforcements
to the area In few hours. We do not
think, however, that people should
delude themselves into thinking that
such war as this, If it starts, will be
any minor affair. For one thing, our
experience with the Laotian troops
raises serious doubt respecting the will
Of these people to fight for their own
freedom. The rebels however, seem to
Be tough, aggressive, and they, too, can
besreinforced. So If American soldiers
are committed to a bitter, jungle war
along the Mekong River line, we should
expect that they will be there for
long time.

PoNock's Tape

Political Boss" Pollack of
Baltimore is reported to be
gloating triumphantly over
the embarrassing position in
which he has put Gov. Tawes
by publicly revealing q con-
fidential patronage conver-
sation which he had, un-
known to the Governor, re-
corded through q mike hid
den in a lapel flower, in 1858,
and which he has now timely
brought out just before elec-
tion with the apparent object
OF hurting Gov. Tawes with
the people. Boss" Pollack
apparently is woefully ignor-
ant OF the temper Of the
American voter. There Is no
practice held In more sting
ing contempt by the ordin-
ary American voter than a
sneak recording, unknown to
the other party. Of a conf
dential conversation and
then later threatening him
with public exposure TO gain
certain demands. The "Boss"
is reported to believe that
voters approve Of his TACTICS
and win do what he wants
them to-vote against Gov.
Tawes. The Boss" is in for
q shocking surprise from q
contemptuous public on cleo
ton day.

Reprooch to India

In the long-range view, it may not
be in the best interest of the United
States that the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee has voted, 8 to 2, for
cut Of more than $500 million, or
about rs per cent, in the administra-
tion's request for aid to India. Never
theleSS this adverse action, although 1t
may yet be reversed, is altogether
understandable. Indeed, Prime Minister
Nehru's "neutralist" government has in
effect been inviting it for long time.
Z After all, it is not for nothing that
a man Of the caliber Of Senator Syming-
ton-a strong advocate Of extending
realistic American assistance to the free
nations Of the world-has played q
leading role in persuading the commit
tee to vote for the slash. Like most of
his colleagues in Congress, and like the
people Of the United States in general,
he has for years shown that he is
good friend of India and wants to see
it grow in strength, liberty and inde-
pendence vis-a-vis Red China. But
within the past year or two, again like
many Of his countrymen, Mr.. Symington
has found 1t increasingly difficult to
understand or sympathize with the
Nehru governments foreign policy,
especially as enunciated and carried out
by Defense Minister Khrishna Menon-a
man who has flair for seeming to be
sinister and whose votes in the United
Nations have usually been on the side
of the Soviet Union and against the
West. a
1t is primarily because of all
this-because of India's not-so-neutral
"neutraliSm," because of its aggression
against Portuguese Goa, because Of its
threatening attitude toward Pakistan
on the Kashmir issue, and because of
such other things as its slightly in
furiating self-righteous moral lectures
against our nuclear testing-that the
Senate Committee has voted as it has.
It is vote that reflects widespread
sentiment among the American people,
who cannot be blamed If they sometimes
wonder why their hard-earned money
goes out to countries whose policies
often appear to be hostile to the United
States. India, let us hope, will not
underestimate the significance of the
reproach implicit in the committees
vote, even though that vote may be
reversed in due course.

Well Said!

The special welfare advisory COM
Eaittee to Commissioner Duncan is to be
commended for its painstaking study
ard its thoughtful suggestions for i'm
proving District relief programs. On
the controversial question Of extending
aid for dependent children to homes
where the mother is living with para
nA0ur, however, we are particularly
impressed by the soundness Of the mi
norfty views expressed by Raoul Blum
berg, the assistant to the publisher of
the Washington Post.
Mr.. Blumberg, dissociating him
self from the position Of the committee
that the government must maintain
responsibility" for such children while
It .finds ways to deal" with the para
rnours, made the point that this respon-
sibiltty' should not fall upon the commu-
nifty alone. As he put it:
It seems to me this is the woman's
decision. II she would rather have the man
tn the house and not get the money. that's
her decision We haven't made it, she has
s.s, It's question Of responsibility. The
women are splitting in the face Of the COM
naunity. They're saying, I've got all these
children to support but I'm not going to live
IN the normal way. I'm going to have lover
Ia the house"
AS Mr.. Blumberg asserted, all the
mother Is called upon to do in these
cases in order to qualify her household
Tor government assistance els to send
the man away" Is this too great a
sacrifice for q mother to make for the
welfare of her children? We do not
think that It Is. Mr.. Blumberg, who is
> member Of the Health and Welfare
Council Of the National Capital Area,
vas speaking from broad background
Of experience as citizen leader in the
field Of welfare, on a subject about
which he obviously has given much
thought. His comments should receive
earnest consideration by all concerned
with this difficult aspect of the welfare
program.

Aid for Art


AS president Of the Amer
lean Art League, I want to
call attention to recent arti-
cles in The Star that Con-
gress has passed and Presi-
dent Kennedy has signed,
legislation to give the Nation
al Collection Of Fine Arts q
permanent home in the his
toric Patent Office Building.
This bill also provides ex-
hibition space for local and
national art shows, which
otherwise would have been
eliminated in the termination
Of the use Of the gallery in
the Natural History Museum.
Particularly deserving of
thanks for this step, which
establishes a great national
center for creative arts of
painting, sculpture and the
decorative arts, are Senator
Hubert Humphrey, Repre-
sentatives Frank Thompson,
George M. Rhodes and Har-
ris B. Mcdowell, jr.
1t is to be hoped that Con-
greSs will take one more inn
portant step in the arts in
supporting Senator Wayne
Morse'S bill which sets aside /
mill out Of each dollar Of tax
revenue Of the government of
the District Of Columbia for
local culture activities. Other
United States cities support
the arts with cash, whereas
Washington is long on words
about how wonderful the arts
are. but It takes more than
fine articles on the society
page to make the arts live
and breathe. San Francisco
spends about 100000 per
year on art museums alone.
Philadelphia spends about
$750,000 and Baltimore last
year spent $547.0OO on its
galleries. Washington, D. c.,
spent something less than
SIS, ,00e. This is a national as
well as a cultural disgrace.
Instead Of dreaming about
3 SIS million cultural center,
it is high time President Ken
nedy, the D. C. Commission
ers and others got behind
Senator Morse's bill-S.3127
which could begin to make
our Nations Capital equal to
other United States cities and
leading European cities,
where the fine arts are con-
cerned.

Factors in Crime

In a letter headed Causes
Of Crime" Paul ]. Murdock,
jr. opines that environment
is the principal factor iri the
crime rate. This Is the theory
Of many social workers and
other good-doers but it runs
headlong into proven theor-
les regarding heredity.
Any examjpation Of sta
tisticS viii prove convincing
ly that the most law-abiding
citizens are those descended
from parents or grand-par-
ents who came from the
cooler nations Of the earth,
such as Norway, Sweden,
Denmark. Holland, Scotland,
England and other cool
countries.
Those descended from an
cestors who originated in hot
countries, particularly jungle
countries, where civil war and
revolutions are constantly
breaking out and making the
headlines. and Africa In
particular. are likely, because
Of their hot temperament, to
get into trouble with the law.
However. there are excep-
tions to the rules both of
heredity and environment.
How else can we account for
the manner In which some
children raised in good
homes and with plenty of
financial and cultural adj
vantages. often take to a life
Of crime?
