WITH THE Illuminating
lesson of Lafayette Square
in mind, there's a chance
that those who have de-
SPARED so long over public
opinion may take new cour-
age. \
Maybe it's not public opin-
ion that's at fault, but our
lack Of understanding of it.
Maybe we need more cour-
age to recognize it, and to
see that it is put in words.
Maybe we need more peo-
pie to speak up on such
questions as what should be
done with the Lafayette
Squares of our land, and all
the other city places that
need a little understanding
and protection.
Maybe we need more COM
mitted citizens like L. M.
Leisenring who are willing
to take pen in hand in the
cause Of saving our cultural
heritage.
Next to President and
Mrs. Kennedy - who made
the decision to preserve the
Square - Mr.. Leisenring Is
credited with having dis
played more concern over
its fate than anyone else.)
Maybe we need more peo-
pie like Louis Justement-
to name another Washing
tonian-who are willing to
ask, as he does in a recent
article, "Do we really care
whether our city is beauti-
ful?"
(He wrote washington
should be a beautiful city
because every city should be
beautiful, and money is not
a very important factor. D..
We must seek ways of re-
establishing the Importance
of the individual in the plan
ming and design of the city.")
Maybe, finally, we need
more officials with the per-
ception President Kennedy
displayed over the fate of
Lafayette Square.
From the time of his first
month in office, the Presi-
dent took a personal inter
est In this project.
When an aide once apol-
ogized for bringing a prob
lem concerning the square
to his attention at a busy
moment, Mr.. Kennedy said:
Don't apologize at all.
After all, it may be the only
monument We'll be able to
leave"

Bigger and
Better?
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS

THE AMERICAN people
= have cherished the idea
that the past is prologue.
Across the breadth of the
land, the watchword has
been: Lets do it bigger and
better"
For a long time, this basic
idea has seemed to with
stand all challenges.
Something in the Ameri-
can spirit seemed to demand
that more history was
needed before remembering
the past was worth the
effort.
But this weeks events in
Washington suggest that a
turning point may have
come, perhaps.
The decision on what to
do about Lafayette Square
may stand, indeed, as a
symbol of the change. Could
1t be a tacit sign we are
growing older and/or up?
THE PROBLEM, briefly,
was to set down two large
buildings around the big
open space across from the
White House-an area some
times called the Presidents
Park.
"All you need to do is
build two buildings" said
Congress, in effect. Here's
the money, now go ahead"
So Government officials,
planners and architects
started out in the usual way.
First, they drew up one
scheme. Then another. And
then another. AL were in
the cherished groove. ALI
reflected what everyone
seemed to think were i'm
mutable tenets of the Amer
lean credo.
"The past is prologue"
these plans said. Bring in
the wrecking crews. Let's put
up something bigger and
better"
Was not American philos-
ophy impatient with tradi-
ton? Did it not scorn small
accomplishments of the
past? Had it not always dis
played an overwhelming
confidence that each new
generation could do all
things better than they were
done before?
Until recently, these had
seemed to be safe assump-
tions. Instead, they were not
safe at all. Without anyone
evidently having suspected
it, those impatient pioneers
of long ago had changed q
lot. Public opinion wanted
more than just something
bigger and better.

ers with greater thrust than
the United States has. This
country has under development
a giant booster, the Saturn C-5,
designed to produce rs million
pounds of thrust.
Mr.. Webb conceded that II
the Russians started to fly
with a booster like the Saturn
+C-5 next month, ! would have
to change my mind" about the
United States completing a
round trip to the moon first.
At BlackSburg, Va, where ex-
ploration Of the moon is the
subject Of a scientists confer
ence, rocket expert Werner Won
Braun said he didn't think the
Soviet exploit was a technical
breakthrough.
The orbits of American astro-
nauts John H. Glenn, jr., and
Scott Carpenter were so much
alike. DR.. Won Braun said, that
had they been launched in the
same time period they. too,
could have been in close -ela-
ton to each other.
On the question of the day
who will get to the moon first
the German-born scientist
said both countries will need
bigger rockets and therefore
l don't think we have any SER
ious handicaps to overcome SO
far as the lunar program is
involved"
Meanwhile, in an interview
taped for transmission to the
British people via the Telstar
satellite. Secretary of State
Rusk said he didn't think the
Russian space success would
have any effect-one way or
the other-on East-West prob
lens, such as Berlin or dis
armament.
Like Mr.. Kennedy, Mr.. Rusk
paid tribute to the Russian
space achievement and said:
I'VE were very pleased that the
two Soviet astronauts came
back safely this morning"

STOCKPILE
Humphrey Says Firm
Repaid Every Cent

Government witnesses were
false.
He absolved the subcommit-
tee Of making any charges of
illegality or misconduct in con-
.nection with the Hanna Nickel
contract. He commended. how
ever, that several Of the wit
neSSes made "unfounded in
situations" about profits, de-
struction Of records and other
questionable activities.
Much Of the serious mis-
conception" he said, has re-
suited from testimony which
seemed to indicate that the
Hanna Co. earnings were large
from the nickel stockpile con-
tract. The nickel operation
was comparatively small in the
overall picture.
II want to emphasize that
the Government is completely
protected by this successful
operation because it has not
only a stockpile Of nickel, but
also because a new industry
was created which can be de-
veloped II the Government
ever meets another emergency"
More Testimony Due
Mr.. Humphrey, who was head
Of the Hanna company in 1853
and now is its honorary board
chairman, told the subcommit-
tee that present officials of that
company and its subsidiary, the
Hanna Mining Co., would reply
in detail later today to other
testimony by Government wit
neSSeS.
This testimony raised ques-
tons about apparently huge
profits to the Hanna company
from supplying nickel to the
Government stockpile. 1t also
involved testimony that the
companies apparently destroyed
some records or otherwise tried
to mislead Government audi
tors.
| Mr.. Humphrey testified that
the company's net profit was
SIS million during the seven
year period.

may total more than 1000

naming candidates for the Sep
TENDER 2 election of the new
nations first parliament.
Unless the talks reach agree
ment quickly, the elections will
have to be postponed again.
The negotiations, now in
their fifth day, have been
stalled by the insistence Of the
commanders of Algeria's six
guerrilla wilayas military
zones) that they be allowed to
nominate candidates for the
constituent assembly.
The Political Bureau is the
high command of Algeria's only
major political party, the Ma
tional Liberation Front CFLN
1t had expected no opposition
for an FIN slate packed with
supporters Of Mr.. Ben Bella,
allowing him a free hand in
the government the assembly
will elect.
But the Political Bureau can
not ignore the wilaya COM
manders' opposition since the
guerrilla units hold the effec-
tive power in much Of the
country.
The deadline for nomina-
tons expires tomorrow, but not
single candidate has been
named. The election campaign
was TO have been opened yes
terday. but the leaders Of the
FIN have not even publishd
their platform.
Officials of the Provisional
Executive. the nonpolitical gov
eminent set UP by the French
Algerian peace agreement to
organize the elections, said the
headline for nominations might
be extended a day or two. But
if agreement is not reached
soon, it said. the elections will
