this afternoon, I'd swear you
were left over from last
night"
Mrs. Mesta arranged the
three parties so that each
had its own elements of sur
prise. On Friday, there was
the fun of seeing the lovely
new apartment with its mag
nificent views of the city,
and welcoming the hostess
back; on Saturday there was
a rival hostess and the set
ting of an old feud which
both insist never existed, and
on Sunday, Vice President
johnson and his wife came
by to see a staunch friend
who had backed him for the
Presidency.
On Saturday, flash bulbs
clicked and tongues clacked
as Mrs. Morris Cafritz and
her husband greeted the hos
tess. Both of them insist that
there never was a feud be-
tween them and that it was
all the doing of newspaper
columniSrs. However it be-
gan, it was all most friendly
on Saturday.
Mrs. Cafritz said:

Mrs. MeSta said:
I'm not going to have any
feuds. It's silly"
Vice President and Mrs.

the former Minister to Lux
embourg on Sunday, and
after her own party she went
to a dinner in his honor at

Wasted Resource

The Baltimore Sun has called at
tention to an aspect of the recent floods
in the Potomac River valley that has
been overlooked in most of the accounts.
This is the fact that if there had been
impounding reservoirs at strategic loca-
tionS the overflow could have been
stored to meet possible water shortages
next summer. Instead, the flood waters
raced unimpeded to the sea-a waste
of resource that might be urgently
needed in future emergency.
1t is to regulate and conserve these
annual runoffS that the Army Corps of
Engineers has proposed a series of dams
and impounding basins above tidewater.
These facilities would be designed not
only to provide additional water for
drinking, irrigation and other purposes
but to reduce the danger of floods in
low areas along the river. It is true that
the dams and reservoirs would destroy
considerable parkland and private
acreage, but the overall needs of the
WashingtonMet Area should
take precedence in weighing the merits
and demeritS of the engineers proposals.

Political adversely between
urban and rural representa-
tives of Virginia was never
more clear and inane than
at the recent session of the
Virginia Legislature. AS the
Nations population continues
to expand, it's elected repre-
sentatives will be capable of
representing only SO many.
More seats than the consti-
tutionally established number
will eventually have to be
added to provide a proper
balance of governing repre-
sentation to meet equitably
the tremendous increase in
population.
Both houses of the Virginia
Legislature are Byrd organi-
zation Democratic, with a
dubious capital D. In the last
three presidential elections
Virginia went Republican.
The civic and zoning-minded
10th district of Virginia has
an anti-organization voting
pattern, particularly in
Fairfax County, of placing
liberals into local office and
a conservative for the con-
gressional seat. This does not
encourage rapport between
intraparty and party fac
tions and has baffled the
political neophyte within
Virginia.
Yet to give economics and
social affairs rightful con-
sideration, politics is a serious
matter and will become even
more so in coming years. The

confidence that close and mutually prof
liable economic ties can be maintained.
Certainly, efforts to attain this rela-
tionShip will not be neglected under his
premiership. He has demonstrated, too,
in his past role as adviser and trusted
aide to De Gaulle, that he is thoroughly
dedicated to Western collaboration even
though he may share the generals tend
ency to be fractions about details. He
has been described as man with "the
manner of authority" His ability to per-
form in this manner will soon be tested.

On the Quality of Beef

The Department of Agriculture is
now experimenting Twill experimenting
never Stop?) with a new beef-grading
system designed to give the consumer
leaner steaks and roaSts AS we under
stand it, this means that Secretary
Freeman and his associates are going to
strive to encourage the raising of steers
whose meat will be as free of fat as
possible, but still flavorful, still succu-
lent, still tender.
Well this will be a mighty neat
trick if it can be done, and people on
diets will bless the Department of Agri-
culture for it. The whole idea, however,
calls for great deal of reserved judg-
ment. For the fact is that up to now
at least, as any cattleman will testify
the secret of luscious, juicy beef-rare,
medium or wel1-done - has been the
amount of corn fed the eritter in great
feed-lot States like Iowa and Nebraska.
There has been a sort of axiom: The
more such feeding, the better the meat;
fatter, to be sure, but incomparably
taStier and easier to chew than the
lean" stuff, the utility cuts, from steers
slaughtered right off the range
So we, hope the Department of
Agriculture does not contemplate max
ing the beef of America less wonderful
than it already is, which is by far the
most wonderful in the entire wide, wide
world. Speaking for ourselves, we feel
that nothing could be more unwise than
to take the fat out of it indiscriminately,
or to make it so lean that no true lover
ever be happy again. Mr.. Freeman,
please watch your step!

Aid for the Deservinu

Commissioner Duncan has come up
with the interesting new thought that
the District might seek authority to take
criminal action against men who share
in welfare benefits to needy families
while having no legal right to be in the
home. Such penalties, he believes, might
serve to break up the "paramour" re-
lationShipS which under existing Dis
trict rules deny relief assistance to
needy and otherwise eligible children.
If the Commissioners decide to seek
change in the "man-in-th house"
rule, this approach is worth considering.
For while it seems unfair to penalize
children for the moral offenseS of their
elders, it also is true that the aid-to-de-
pendent-children program was set up to
provide precisely what its name implies
1t was not intended, and it should not
be used, to provide doleS for ShiftleSs
adults or to encourage relationships
which breed illegitimacy.
Mr.. Duncan also believes that the
aid-to-dependent-ch (ADC) grants
should be extended to homes in which
there are able-bodied but unemployed
legal fatherS-provided the man registers
with the United States Employment
Service for employment =. as we'll as
m Getting all the requirements of
Presumably Mr.. Duncan means by
this language that such father, having
registered with the USES, also would be
required to accept any work offered him
that he is qualified to perform. For a
similar USES requirement exists now in
regard to eligibility for unemployment
compensation. Certainly such a provi-
sion should be incorporated as well in
any extension of ADO aid to the unem-
ployed. And adequate steps should be
taken to assure its strict enforcement.
In the last analysis, of course, the
feasibility of either of these extensions
of the ADO program will depend upon
the availability of funds, and upon their
acceptance by Congress.
Mr.. Duncan, in statement on his
proposals, suggests that the recent Dis
trict tax-increaSe law has leased" the
fiscal crisis of the city. 1t appears, how
ever, at least for the fiscal year ahead,
that these additional revenues already
have been spoken for. AS recently as
February, when the Commissioners re-
vised welfare expenditures upward, they
passed over the unemployed-fatherS
provision in view of the general scarcity
of funds. A final judgment, therefore,
will have to await the outcome of the
further financial studies ordered by
Commissioner Duncan-both as to cost
and to the means of paying them

Sick Men for Sale

In permitting so sick and wounded
Cuban soldier prisoners to return to
their families in Mimi, Fidel Castro
has not acted out of any sense of COM
passion or goodness of heart. On the
contrary, he has released them only
in exchange for promise by refugee
negotiatorS that the ransom he has de-
manded for the 60-S2.5 million-will
be handed over to him in the near
future
This still leaves a total of 1,176
incarcerated by Havana'S Red dictator.
These men-captured after landing at
the Bay of Pigs last April II in a patri-
otic but ill-Starred attempt to liberate
their country-have all been sentenced
to imprisonment at hard labor for 80
years However, in a decision unprec-
edented in modern civilized society,
Castro has announced that he will let
them go free for price-ranging from
S25,000 to $500,000 per head. The total
ransom, including that asked for the
60 already released, would be $62 million.
Here is a brand of trafficking in
human beings that merits the con-
tempt of peoples everywhere. Under
Standably enough, however, Cuban ref
ugee groups for the sake of the prisoners
involved, apparently are ready to pay
something like the sum demanded, and
they seem hopeful of being able to
raise it in private circles (they claim
pledges of donations adding up to
around $26 million thus far). Of course,
despite its muddled role in the Bay
of Pigs invasion, and measure of
responsibility for the failure, our own
Government cannot be party to such
a deal, but it may be able to help the
negotiatorS indirectly.
In any event, the repugnant nature
OF Fidel CaStro'S bargaining -for-men
policy-a policy not unrelated to Cuba's
steadily worsening economic situation
constitutes a damning commentary on
him and his regime. The Havana
tyrant himself, as President Kennedy
observed the other day, was let out of
prison within Is months after he had
sought to overthrow the Batista regime
But now, with the shoe on the other
foot, he metes out 30-year sentences
to rebel patriots, and then seeks to
extort money for their liberation. Small
wonder, in the Presidents words, that
"Mr. Castro is increasingly isolated from
the company Of free men"

De GouIle Changes Lineup

In his own imperturbable fashion,
Frances President de Gaulle has brushed
aside orthodox political considerations
in re-shaping the government of the
Fifth Republic.
Armed with massive vote of con-
f1dence in his program for settlement
of the Algerian problem, the austere
general has by-pasSed the advice and
wishes of those who favored capitalizing
ON this Endorsement through new gen.
eral elections, has allowed Premier
Michel Debre to resign with polite ex-
change of compliments, and has named
skilled and trusted (but professionally
non-politicaD technician as the new
first minister.
The choice in this case is Georges
Pompidou, banker and scholar who
shares his leaders belief that papa
knows best" and that most effective
government stems from a strong and
virtually unquestioned executive branch
This philosophy is, in fact, embodied in
the constitution of the Fifth Republic,
blueprint for government which was
drafted pretty much by General de
Gaulle himself. It is a fact, also, that
1t has worked we'll in the nearly four
years of De Gaulle leadership. 1t may
indeed continue to do so, at least as
long as the general himself-with his
proved capacity to disregard normal
political pressures and distractions-re-
mains in Office.
For President de Gaul1e has set no
low goals for France, and present prog
reSs toward real ending of the Algerian
trouble promises an opportunity for
greater attention to other things
Already during his administration,
President de Gaulle has restored France
to the position of truly major power
IN West European politics and econom-
les. He has further plans, however, in
what has been referred to as a ma
tional renovation" in both economic
and social areas domestically and in
undermining the French military.
Repeatedly, Mr.. Pompidou brings
Genuinely high qualifications to his new
post. He was in early agreement with
General de Gaulle on the formula of
independence for Algeria, with equal
