Fixed Payment

Senator Bible is entirely correct in
urging that the annual Federal pay
ment to the District of Columbia should
be determined on the basis of some
kind Of fixed formula His conclusion,
moreover, is hardly surprising, for it is
one which has been reached by most
OF those who fully understand the re-
lationShip between the District and the
Federal Government.
The Senator speaks as an expert.
AS chairman of the Senate District
Committee, he has seen in recent years
both the budgetary chaos and the in
equity which have resulted from the
present SyStem-a system under which
Congress authorizes a specific amount
OF payment, but an amount which is
determined arbitrarily, and which sell
dom is respected by the Appropriations
Committees.
One possibility in which Senator
Bible Is interested is formula based
on the losses which the District suffers
because of land which is tax-exempt
for Federal and other uses. Under this
formula, he says, the District would
receive payment of $40 million, in
stead of the $32 million now authorized,
A simpler and more equitable idea,
In our opinion, is to base the annual
payment on fixed percentage of the
District budget appropriated. For the
traditional theory of the Federal pay
ment Is not merely a payment in lieu
OF taxes, but that the Federal Govern
ment has an obligation to share with
local taxpayers In the expenses of run
ming the city, whatever they might be-
The final determination of the amount
OF these expenses Is Of course the job
OF Congress. Under this system, the
Federal Government shared the annual
expenses on $3.50 basis for more than
40 years prior to 1920. Since then, the
payments, for no logical reason, have
varied between 80 per cent and 85 per
cent OF the city budgets.
No reform in this area will be
accomplished without intensive study,
however, and the important thing now
Is that Senator Bible has expressed an
interest in finding some fairer arrange
ment. We hope his concern will take
the form Of positive legislative pro-
posal, and that he will be joined in
this endeavor by the new chairmen of
the House and Senate Appropriations
subcommittee which control District
fiscal affairs.

He Means Business

Virginia's newly installed Cover
nor Harrison will go out Of his way
to get more business for his State
in fact he may even go out of his
State in search of it. Impressed by
what Secretary of Commerce Hodges
accomplished while Governor of North
Carolina by personal appeals to in
duStry, Governor Harrison is planning
an industry recruiting" program which
probably will include several personal
visits to industrial centers in a travel
ing-SaleSman role. All of this stems
from the States need for new sources
OF revenue to meet rapidly mount
ing governmental budgets.
In his address to the General As
Sembly the new Governor made it
plain that he intends to assume full
charge of the States industrial devel-
opment program, rather than leave it
to proposed new agency as recon-
mended by legislative advisers. He will
undertake this task because he feels
that Virginia cannot continue to pro-
gress without greatly strengthening
its economic resources. AS he put it
to the Legislature: 1--WE must in
deed become steadily more productive.
The unpleasant alternative is reduced
standards and higher taxes"
While much has been done in re-
cent years to encourage more indus
trial enterprises to set up shop in
Virginia, there is still plenty of room
for heavy and light industries. Gov
ernor Harrison said that further de-
velopment could be expected if trans
portation, power and other facilities
were improved. Accordingly, he pro-
posed modernization and expansion of
the States main ports, adoption of pol
icieS and legislation tending to invite in
dustrial growth and a study Of ways to
stimulate rail, highway and air transpor-
tation. He said more attention, too,
should be given to what he called
"tourism bringing to Virginia of
more visitors interested in "the great
est history classroom in our Nation"
The new administration thus is
on record as one hoSpitable to busi-
ness and eager to welcome outside
industry. There is selfish purpose
behind the friendliness, of course
the desire to bring new money, new
jobs and new taxpayers into the State.
Virginia must have these additional
assets to grow and prosper.

Thank you for printing the
picture of DR.. Walter Russell,
and his model of the -Four
Freedoms" in The Star Of
January 16. 1t would indeeu
be an inspiration to all who
would look upon it, if a copy
of this marvellous work were
to be placed in Washington,
DC. The late Glenn Clark
wrote a biography about DR..
Russell entitled "The Man
Who Tapped the Secrets Of
the Universe, in which is ex-
planned how DR.. Russell has
been able to create so much
that is beautiful and lasting
during his life. It has been
this writer's very great priv
ilege to learn much from this
truly great and remarkable
man, to study his literary
works, as we'll as to enjoy his
paintings. sculpture and
music.
DR.. and Mrs. Russell have
founded a University of Sci
ence and Philosophy at
Swannanoa, Waynes boro,
Virginia, where, in an atmos-
phere of unusual loveliness
and peace, they are devoting
the energy and substance OF
their lives to furthering world
peace through world balance.
Should the ladies who
marched in the name Of
peace in the downpour at the
White House recently be look
ing for a more constructive
outlet for their individual or
combined energies, they
might find it at Swannanoa.

Blow to Postal Deficit

The House has aimed timely blow
at the more than three-quarters-of-a-
billion postal deficit, with an incidental
and drastic swipe at mailed Com
munist propaganda thrown in for good
measure. We hope the Senate will face
up as forthrightly as the House to the
politically surcharged mail-rate issue.
Certainly more postal revenues will be
needed to meet the postal pay in
creaSeS under consideration at the Cap
itol. Otherwise the annual deficit would
soar into the wild blue yonder.
Perhaps with the proposed pay
raise in mind, the House went even
farther than the administration had
urged in rate reform The Post Office De-
partment had recommended fees which
would bring in an additional 1921 mil
lion annually but the House bill would
produce about $500 million. The differ
ence results from larger increase

to in the debate as "junk mail" Other
higher rates approved included cents
for first class letters, cents for air.
mail, 4 cents for postcards and new
1eeS 1or newspapers and magazines
that would give the department $50
million additional each year.
The ban on "free" delivery of Red
propaganda from abroad was written
into the rate bill at Republican insist
ence, but finally was accepted by the
Democrats, with but two votes in oppo-
Sition. Although it's guidelines are vague,
and should be clarified, the amend
ment was designed to restore a long
standing executive order under which
the department had refused to deliver
such propaganda unless specifically re-
queSted to do so by the addressee. Pres
ident Kennedy Cancelled the order on
the ground that It might adversely
affect our efforts to mail American
publications and other material to Com
munist countries. 1t is known that much
of our material never reaches the in
tended receivers.
However, the amendment, as passed,
goes much farther than the previous
executive order, in that it would ban

layers fortunate enough to
own an authentic house.
During the redevelopment,
some of the authentic facili-
ties common in the 18th cen
tury should be restored: A
debtors prison, a Scaffold on
the green for public hang
ings, a slave market, water
ing carts to lay the dust in
the streets in the summer,
gumbo mud in the streets in
the winter, piggeries on the
green, open sewers in the
street.
While the redevelopment is
under way, some of the
amenities Of the 18th CEN
tury should be re-established:
No vote for women, a pit for
bear-baiting, unrestricted sale
of liquor in the grog shops
and tavernS, cock fights, a
public lottery, dog fighting
pits, horse racing on the viii
lage green.
The redevelopment of
Georgetown should be COM
plete and it should be au-
thentic. Five hundred million
dollars is a small price to
pay for such progress. Bring
on urban renewal and let's
get on with the work Of re-
creating the good old "daze."

Strikers for Peace

1t was a pleasure to read
George Twigg HIS excellent
letter regarding the "Wom-
ems Strike for Peace" picket
ing Of the White House. He
sized these marchers up cor
rectly. There is, however, one
interesting aspect of this
whole affair which Mr.. Twigg
did not cover and which you
failed to mention in your
news coverage Of this event
- that many of the leaders
Of this demonstration ac-
knowledge their membership

League for Peace and Free
dom. This leads one to some
interesting speculations about
this whole Strike for Peace"
project.
During the As years in
which the WILPF has been
conducting a total world dis
armament program, it's Off
cially stated policies, its af-
filiations and interlocks, and
its officers and official
SpokeSmen have left little
room for doubt as to the real
nature of this organization.
The Daily Worker of Decem-
ber 80, 1852, carried an item
that the WILPF had urged
all Of its members to write
letters asking for executive
clemency for the Rosenbergs,
convicted Soviet atomic spies.
Just how world peace and
human freedom could be ad-
vanced by extending clemen-
cy to two convicted Soviet
spies is difficult to fathom.

Your coverage of the prob
lens confronting the George
town waterfront area has
been consistently thorough
and objective. The articles
by Robert j. Lewis deserve
special note.
Given the acknowledged
fact that the area south Of
M street in Georgetown is
in substantial blight and
neglect and has no industrial
future, the question is how
can its full potential be real
ized. Your coverage shows
that two alternatives have
been advanced: Urban re-
newal and rezoning. Realis-
tically, these are not altern-
atives. Rezoning would not
do the job; urban renewal
would. 1t seems to us as
simple as that.
What would urban renewal
do? All buildings of archi-
tectural and historical sig
nificance would be preserved.
The unSightly waterfront
would be converted into q
public park and recreational
area, and the historic C&O
Canal would be further en-
hanced.
The numerous vacant
warehouses and present OBJ
jectionable uses in the area
would be replaced by dis
tinctive Georgetown resi-
dences. M street, which has
been in a state of economic
decline for years, would be
revitalized as a commercial
area with the improvement Of
buildings and the addition Of
parking facilities behind the
store frontage.
New residential construc-
ton by private individuals
would be tightly controlled.
Design and scale would have
to be approved specifically
by the Fine Arts Commits
sion. No evasion of the spirit
of the. Old Georgetown Act
would be permitted, such as
has sometimes occurred in
new residential construction
north of M street.
Selective boundary lines
would be drawn to exclude
from urban renewal the ex-
iSting healthy commercial
concerns on M street, and
the restored residences south
of M street.
In essence there would be
imaginative, sensitive resto-
ration Of the entire area such
as could not be accomplished
by any other means. Not only

Bridge Remnants

The press carries stories
of Potomac bridges built,
building, or contemplated.
Esthetic features are de-
scribed in detail, including
distinctive and costly light
ing for which ample funds
seem available.
What happens to the
bridges replaced-are they to
be left as scenic attractions,
or to make the new bridges
more attractive by compar-
ison? The new Fourteenth
Street Bridge Is going up
alongside the old and there is
talk Of retaining the old.
Some 40 years ago Key
Bridge went up alongside the
old, and some of the old
bridge is still there.
These bits and pieces of
bridges are unbeautiful, are
hazardous to water traffic and
constitute unattractive nui-
sances which may we'll cost
the District substantial sums
in the event of injury or
fatality in their vicinities.
Remains of the old Aqueduct
Bridge severely restrict use of
the river, particularly for the
rapidly expanding sport Of
rowing.
The Thompson Water
Sports Center, completed 18
months ago. was intended to
provide much needed facil-
tiles for rowing and canoeing.
One important use was the
servicing of large regattas
but this can be only partly
realized as long as the old
piers block what is potentially
one of the finest protected
rowing courses in the coun-
try. A makeshift course had
to be used last May when
nearly go crews from coast
forecast competed in the Ma
tional Schoolboy Rowing
Championships. That and
other large regattas will be
difficult or impossible to at
tract here again as long as
the piers remain.

Washington, but the Nation
as we'll could look with pride
upon the joint efforts of the
Government and the citizens
in the restoration of this
historic area.
Rezoning has been sug-
gested as an alternate solu-
tion. Assuming that enough
of the large industrial and
commercial landowners in
the area would indorse this
proposal - which would be
necessary for rezoning to be
effected-what would be &C
complished? Only this: Pres
ent commercial and in
dustrial buildings would be-
come nonconforming uses
and new residential construc-
ton would be permitted.
Much of this construction
would be contingent upon the
pace at which these nom
conforming uses chose to re-
locate. Furthermore. the con-
tinued presence Of these nom
conforming and incompatible
uses would discourage the
free flow Of private capital
into the area for quality res
idential construction.
Urban renewal is some
times depicted as a grizzly
government bureaucracy
bulldozing its way through
blocks of buildings to clear
the path for high-rise apart
ments. This popular myth
stems from sloganized prop
aganda. If one would take
the time to cut through the
underground Of slogans and
learn the facts, he will real
ize that urban renewal, one
of the most significant and
important Governmental pro-
grams Of our time, can be a
highly imaginative and Sc
lective tool, tailored to satisfy
even the exceedingly sensi-
tive residents of Georgetown.
This is its challenge and ours.
