Shotgun Approach

According to Chairman Powell of
the House Education Committee, no
less than 40 Federal agencies are en-
gagged in educational programs of one
type or another. And among them, he
says, these programs cost about So bill
lion year. From these facts, Mr..
Powell arrives at the logical conclusion
that there is bound to be a certain
amount of overlapping, with consequent
waste of Federal money. Accordingly,
he has directed that a subcommittee,
headed by Representative Green of
Oregon, make study of the subject
during the next few months.
It is too early to say whether there
can be any substantial Capitalization
of the existing programs, resulting in
savings, as Mr.. Powell and Mrs. Green
suggest. But wherever in Government
there is such diversification of effort
as this, it is important for Congress
to have at least a full knowledge and
understanding Of the details. Strangely
enough, Mrs. Green has been pressing
for such a study since 1859 without
enlisting much support. It is gratify-
ing that her persistence finally has
paid off.

Improving Transit

"A new census Bureau report on
committing habits illustrates all too
graphically the degree to which nearby
Maryland residents rely on their auto
mobiles in preference to public transit.
Not more than 1913 per cent of the
residents Of even the cloSeSt-in Subur-
ban community regularly ride transit.
In College Park, the figure drops to
7.8 per cent; in Wheaton, to 40 and,
in Rockville, to 3.6.
These are diScouraging findings to
those who believe that the ultimate
solution to the transportation problem
of the area lies in a balanced pro-
gram Of transit and autos, for surely
not enough highways can be built to
serve the growing region in the dec
ades ahead by automobiles alone. The
principal lesson from these statistics,
however, is that existing forms of
transit simply are not attractive enough
to lure motorists from their cars. The
ultimate answer, of course, is an en-
tirely new form of rapid transit along
the lines of the regional system now
being devised by the National Capital
transportation Agency.
In the meantime, there are less
ambitious and less costly improve
ments in transit service which may
be made. One example is the new
rush-hour, nonstop, luxury-bus service
offered by the D. G. Transit Co. be-
tween Chevy Chase Circle and Capitol
Hill. Not enough time has elapsed as
yet to evaluate this experiment., but
many who have tried it like it. In
the Baltimore area, excessive costs
have forced the temporary discontin-
uance of express commuter rail serv-
ice between the suburbs and the city,
using the tracks of the Baltimore &
Annapolis Railroad During three-week
trial period, however, patronage con-
tinually increased.
The very fact that such expert
ments as these are being made is en-
couraging. We hope that they are
expanded.

Censors at Work

The difficulties, not to mention the
absurdities, which arise once the peace
time censor has been set to work are
clearly reflected in some of the illus
trations culled from material put before
the StenniS subcommittee.
The subcommittee, which is study
ing charges that military men have
been "muzzled," learned that a censor
had stricken from one speech a refer
ence to military plane as Man of
War" Penciling this out, the censor
said: Lets use another steed-Zev,
Gallant Fox, etc., but not this one"
The policy, it seems, is against using
such words as "war" or victory"
Another censor objected to a
speech quoting Arnold Toynbee on
the reasons for the decline of once
proud nations. "Toynbee," the censor
said, "is highly questionable histo-
rian." An Army officers speech was
blue-penciled to delete a reference to
Khrushchev's remark that 1--WE will bury
you" The censor explained che has
denied that he meant this literally"
An Air Force officer wanted to say:
I'm fact, the big question of our day
is simply this: Will the future world,
that is, the emerging world, be in our
image, or will it be in the image of
world communism" But the censor
put his foot down. "We want people
to have the right and freedom to choose
their own destiny" he explained.
These, perhaps, are extreme ex-
amples. But there are many more in
the record, and they are hardly less
noteworthy for their asininity. The main
trouble, granting that some censorship
Is needed, comes from attempting to
censor speeches for policy as distin-
guiShed from security reasons. And
the trouble is compounded when some
faceless censor, often with no qualifi-
cations for his job, tries to function
under policy directives which, to say
the least, are vague and uncertain. The
censor invariably will play it safe, and
the safer he plays it the sillier he will
get.
Defense Secretary Mcnamara, re-
fusing to identify individual censors,
says he assumes full responsibility for
what they have done. Perhaps this is
the right position for him to take since,
after all, he is responsible. But it is a
position which also leaves him at the
mercy Of his censors, and he might be
well advised to try to find some new
and more sensible ones.

Dollar Diplomacy

Like Carter Glass before
him, Virginia Senator Harry
Byrd is our foremost defend
er of the value of our dol
lar. Little wonder he wants to
investigate Federal finances
when President Kennedy asks
for authority to increase the
debt limit by about $40 bill
lion!
If as a result of his in
quiry, Senator Byrd, perhaps
with the help of Senator
Dodd, cuts out the foreign
aid our administration in
sists on giving leaders of
Communist or pro Com
munist nations to help sus-
tain them in power over
their hapless, tyrannized peo-
Piles, he might be able to re-
duce the debt limit by a bill
lion or so. It's certainly worth
a desperate try.
These nations are our real
or potential enemies. Time
was that the giving of aid and
comfort to an enemy was a
traitorouS act. It still is in
the military. But our State
Department professionals,
those of left-wing idealism,
are commended and pro-
NOTED for it.
American aid has kept Tito
in power in Yugoslavia. 1t has
helped Gomulka in Poland,
Pandit Nehru and Krisha
Mennon in India, Kwame
Nkrumah in Ghana, Sekou
Toure in Guinea, Sukarno in
IndoneSia. HapleSs American
taxpayers have been forced
also to contribute to the tyran-
nical reigns of Communists
in charge of Romania, Hun
gary, CZechoslovakia. And
now comes Hoxha of Albania,
Cheddi Jaggan of Guiana,
and so on.
No wonder the United States
is looked upon with distrust
by France, England, Ger
many, Portugal and others.
In preventing devaluation
Of the dollar, Senator Byrd
and his colleagues well may
indirectly aid the peoples of
these oppressed lands to gain
their freedom by eliminating
our financial support of their
Communist tyrants!

United Free Nations

The NATO Citizens Con-
vention recently concluded in
Paris may prove in time to
be as fruitful for the people
Of the Western free nations
as was the Continental Con-
gress which in 1887 drafted
the then proposed United
States Constitution for the
great benefit of the people of
our original 13 colonies.
The United States Consti-
tuition was a completely new
political invention which VOL
UNFAIRLY brought together
separate sovereign colonies
into a federation-a new ma
ton.
1t strains the imagination
to try to visualize what tre-
mendous protection and bene-
fits may accrue to the people
of the Western free ma
tions if such a dynamic idea
of voluntary federation were
applied on an international
level between the Western
free NATO nations. However,
even such a federation could
be only a starting nucleus.
AS other nations became ex-
perienced in free self-govern-
ment, they could apply for
admission to such a fedora
ton, just as Alaska and Ha-
waii applied for Statehood
under the United States Con-
stitution. Such a new fedora
ton at the International
level would be a standing
invitation to all freedom
loving peoples throughout the
world to apply for member
ship and enjoy the protection
and benefits of such con-
certed action under an his
torically proven system.
Such a proposal could arm
the free nations with a dy-
manic cause that could truly
put them on the march to
wage peace" under a tried
and proven system Of law
and order. Then ours would
be a positive goal, of benefit
to all mankind. We then
could discard our negative
policy of "containment" and
offer to all the peoples of the
world a real choice between
freedom and communism. In
the meantime, there could be
such overwhelming organized
power on the side of freedom,

Catholic Policy

In her letter, Ernestine
Matthews claims that
Church authorities forbid
Catholic parents) to
send their children to public
schools with a few excep-
tions if the bishop ap-
proves) -"
This statement is incorrect.
Although Catholics may be
urged to avoid public schools
because of the dangers to
their faith which these
schools afford, they are not
forbidden to attend them.
The fact that over one-half
of all Catholic children at
tend public schools indicates
that there are many more
than just "a few exceptions"
Catholics believe that pub
lie education with its exclu-
sion of religion is not the
ideal education for Catholic
children. Recent letters and
stories in The Star have
shown that the policy of ex-
Guiding religion from public
schools is also severely crit
icized by many non-Cath-
olicS.

Relief ChiseIers

The finding that So per cent of
District welfare recipients investigated
since November are ineligible for relief
indicates, as many have suspected, that
there may be considerable amount of
chiseling among people on the relief
rolls.
The 20 cases thus far investigated
are too small group to warrant any
sweeping conclusions. But it should be
remembered that families investigated
were selected entirely at random. Fur
thermore, no effort was made to hide
the fact that an investigation of free
loading was under way. These facts
Notwithstanding, the investigators were
able to turn up a surprising number
and variety of abuses of sufficient
seriousness to discontinue grants.
District Welfare Director Shea de-
serves commentator for the efficient
and thorough manner in which his
investigating teams have gone about
their work. The major credit, however,
rests with Senator Byrd of West Vir-
ginia, who, in the face of great deal
Of criticism, had the courage to insist
upon a comprehensive review and in
vest1gation of public welfare in Wash
ington. The Senator is quite right in
viewing the steps already taken as only
a beginning, and we believe he should
move now to broaden the scope of the
Investigations.
Those who decry any attempt to
impose realistic standards and safe
guards on relief should bear in mind
that such reforms serve not only to
penalize chiSelers, but also to preserve
the all-too-limited welfare dollars for
those who truly need and deserve them.
