RedeveIopment Controls

In a number of respects, urban re-
development plans impose more strin-
gent requirements on builders than
those of ordinary zoning. And the de-
STABILITY of retaining some degree of
public control over the projects after
they are finished has been generally
accepted, in order to assure that basic
concepts Of the plan are not jeopardized.
1t is surprising, therefore, that the Dis
trict Commissioners now are proposing
that such controls be dropped upon
completion of the projects.
The National Capital Planning
Commission is resisting such a change,
and properly so. Private interests clearly
should not be free to violate essential
principles of the approved plans, as con-
ceivably they might be able to do if the
completed areas reverted merely to the
jurisdiction of ordinary zoning.
At the same time, however, officials
of the Urban Renewal Administration
are not helping the situation by imply
ing at this time that such change
might endanger the future eligibility of
the city for Federal renewal funds. The
Commissioners suggestion was not
made capriciously. And, indeed, Phil
A. Doyle, the Redevelopment Land
Agency director, has suggested that
there might we'll be some middle
ground solution which would retain ef-
fective controls while at the same time
relieving the District concerns over ad-
miniStrative enforcement. The obvious
course is for all parties concerned to
discuss these possibilities sensibly, rath-
er than to Jump at premature conclu-
Sions that there Is no room for compro-
mise.

Weeding-Out Process

Welfare Secretary CelebreZZe has
acted with commendable speed in set
ting the wheels in motion for more in
tenSive reviews throughout the country
Of possible abuses in aidto dependent
children relief programs which are sup.
ported by Federal funds. And Senator
Byrd Of West Virginia should be pleased
that the impetus for these studies came
from the Scandalous findings of the well
fare probe he spearheaded in the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
We have no doubt that many of
these findings, assuming that the in
vestigations are pursued with equal
diligence, will be duplicated elsewhere.
In many cities, of course, eligibility
requirements are less stringent than in
Washington. But the abuses uncovered
here are by no means attributable solely
to our requirements. And certainly there
is no reason to believe that welfare
recipients in Washington generally are
more avaricious or more dishonest than
elsewhere, or that District welfare ad-
ministrators necessarily are less COM
petent.
1t is very important in any expend-
iture of public funds that waste and
fraud be eliminated. In the case of pub
lie welfare, as Mr.. Celebrezze points out,
there Is an additional "sense Of urgency"
in view of the mounting demand for
welfare dollars. The Secretary has
phraSed the problem we'll in stating that
the values of public relief "to the thou
sands Of people in genuine need must
not be undermined and jeopardized by
permitting people who are ineligible and
not in need to drain public funds away
from the truly needy, or from other
important purposes" We hope that the
review procedures to be developed are
adequate to achieve these goals.

Shutdown at Huntsville

Temporarily, at least, the courts
have halted the ridiculous and uncon-
scionable strike which for four days
last week crippled progress on the
Saturn moon-Shot project at the Hunts
vile (Ala) RedStone Arsenal A Fed
eral judge, in issuing the five = day
restraining order, said it might be ex-
tended to prevent further shutdown,
and if necessary, Of course, this should
be done.
Even so, degree of damage al
ready has occurred to our space effort
which is wholly unjuStified by the triv-
ial cause of the strike. In brief, the
International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers set up picket line in dis
pute over the use of two non-union
workers by subcontractor. Most of the
1,500 other building trades workers at
the big reservation refused to cross the
lines, halting or stopping work on 18
construction projects, six Of them re-
lated directly to the Saturn C develop
ment program.
According to space officials, the
Huntsville shutdown has cost 81 million
d Ody. 1cILdpO, DIS LII. WGIIlIleT NOIl
Braun has said, more serious result
is "irreparable delay" to the Nations
hopes of developing a rocket booster
to reach the moon. Standing alone, the
loss Of four days on this project can
hardly be called critical. The cumula-
tive effect Of these labor disputes at
vital missile bases, however, remains
alarmingly important-not only to the
space program, but to our national de-
fense. Such work Stoppages, according
to Air Force figures, have caused some
1877 man-hours to be lost through
July Of this year. Ironically, in the wake
Of the restraining order at Huntsville,
another strike has just been reported
at nuclear submarine plant in Pas
cagoula, Miss.
BY one means or another, these walk
outs must be stopped. The Labor De-
partment is doing its best, through the
courts and elsewhere, to reduce the like
lihood Of defense labor disputes, and to
act promptly when they occur. Unless
their efforts are more successful than
in the past, however, there will be no
alternative to direct action by Congress
to outlaw such strikes.

East Meets West

In more ways than one, President
Kennedy apparently had "bang-up"
time on his two-day flying circuit-ride
of the Far West
There were fire-falIS and multi
colored grenades and good laugh from
California crowd when he expressed
his own pleasure at blowing up the San
Joaquin Valley "in the cause of prog
resS." He pleased a South Dakota gath
ering, too, when he remarked on what a
privilege it was to get away from
Washington these days and to come
out and see the people of the United
States"
AS "non-political" trips 60, in po-
utical years, this one did not strain the
Identification too far. A few Republicans
from Washington were in parts of the
Kennedy caravan and, on the spot,
Republican Governor Gubbrud, in par
ticular, had a good share of the non
partisan ceremonies at Pierre, South
Dakota. Not surprisingly, Democratic
Governor Pat Brown of California, OBJ
viously tickled to death to have the
President visit one of the country's
foremost 1862 fields of political battle,
shared more of Mr.. Kennedy's favor
than any other along the way
Before the November counting
takes place, Mr.. Kennedy is expected
to see the West again. The fireworks
then will be frankly political. Very likely

Game Elm

While we are on the sub
ject of spraying the trees for
insects and its effect on bird
life, may I once more point
out the actual damage it
does to some otherwise
healthy trees?
The tree in front of our
house on 36th st. NV. is the
same age as all the others
around-I would guess about
40 to so years, considering
when this area was opened
and the houses built. But it
is taller and more synmetri-
cally shaped than most and
has given heavenly shade
always, showing no tendency
to succumb to the elm beetle,
even though others in the
same block have gone down.
However, this tree is Sensi-
tive to the spray, and for
three summers has lost every
leaf that was touched by it.
They come down by the mil
lionS-just like autumn, only
in June-and I have color
slides to demonstrate.
1t has leafed out again
each time, but the second
leaves are small and never
grow to full size. It is trying
hard to keep up but each
year it has lost ground. No
plea of mine to the depart
ment responsible has done
any good.
So I shall be very happy if
those in charge of these
matters decide to follow New
York's eXample-maybe find
out what they do there?

Onward From TeIstor

Now that the Senate, by a vote of
66 to II, has enacted the communica-
tions satellite bill after having invoked
cloture against the filibustering oppo-
Sition, the HouSe-When It ends its
current receSs-is expected to approve
the legislation overwhelmingly and
without delay. And this is certainly as
it should be.
At any rate, by a vote of 354 to 9,
the House has long since adopted eS-
Sentially the same legislation, and there
is therefore good reason to hope that it
will accept the Senate version rather
than take it to conference and thus
give the filibusterers another chance to
talk 1t to death. So the bill should soon
be before the President for his signature,
after which the task of translating it
into an operating reality will begin in
earnest.
The first phase Of this task will
start with Mr.. Kennedys naming Of
group of incorporators. These incor-
poratorS, who will be subject to the
Senate's confirmation, will have the re-
SponSibility Of bringing the projected
corporation into being and managing
its affairs for year. The responsibility
will include the marketing of stock.
Half of this stock-which is to be priced
at not more than $100 share-is to be
sold to the general public and half to
the dozen or so interested companies
that are in the communications business.
After the incorporators have done
their job, the project will then be run
by board Of Is directors-Six chosen
by the public stockholders, six by the
participating companies and three by
the United States Government. The
corporation, of course, though largely
a free-enterpriSe undertaking designed
to earn profits, will be circumScribed by
many strict Federal controls and limita-
tions. Among other things, for example,
its satellite launchings-for each of
which it will be charged an appropriately
large fee to be paid to the u S. Treasury
will be dependent on our National
AeronauticS and Space Administration.
1t should be noted, too, that stock
holders in this enterprise can hardly
expect to receive dividends at an early
date. After all, the fledgling corporation
which must work out agreements with
its overseas counterpartS, most of them
run by governments-faces truly for
midable challenges. These include the
fact that it must develop communica-
tions satellites considerably more ad-
vanced than the experimental Telstar,
and it must have a batch of them in
orbit before it can begin to operate
effectively and profitably on global
scale-which it may not be able to do
for another five years or so.
However, as demonstrated by Tel
stars altogether marvellous performance,
there can be no doubt about the future
Of global communications via such in
struments Nor can there be any doubt
about the great promise implicit in the
private corporate enterprise that has
now been so emphatically Endorsed by
Congress as the best medium for carry
ing out this wondrous venture in
outer space.

Now. was Watson a hypo-
critic, a fool or a man genu-
inely seeking a way out Of a
dilemma? Did he think that
though government absolu-
tlSm was a curse, corporate
absolutiSm was a blessing?
THE Lengthening Shadow"
bound by the limitations of
its genre, does not say. The
entire book naturally implies
that Watson was wonderful
in every way. The reader
therefore is supposed to
choose the last alternative,
though there is not much
evidence in its favor, and
most Of that is indirect.
Yet this indirect evidence,
such as it is, suggests that the
last alternative is indeed the
most likely. If this is so, we
deserve to know more about
WatSon'S thinking than we
are told.
IN FACT, while what little
we learn Of Watson's ideas on
foreign and domestic eco
nomic policy indicates
strongly that he was a man
OF acumen who was not afraid
to hold views at odds with
those prevailing in the busi-
ness community, the Beldens
picture Of him is the very
caricature of a businessman.
Despite his obvious individ-
uality, we are shown Watson
as a man whose infinitesimal
stock OF Shopworn ideas has
been reduced to a few asinine
slogans.
Obviously. the Beldens ap-
prove Of this picture, mis-
taking it for the model of
vigorous simplicity.
But whether one considers
the man so portrayed to be
vigorous or asinine, it is hard
to imagine that he can really
be Thomas j. Watson. This
travesty transpires in the
disguised name of official Cor
semi-officiaD biography, for
the hero is supposed to serve
NEUROLOGICAL functions and
though ancient mythology
was full of issues, modern
mythology is bland.
The absence of discussion
OF personality might have left
room for information about
the crucial business reyolu-
tions of broad implication in
which Watson played a lead
ing role. But this is not the
case. There are a few sweep
ing generalities, but scarcely
more about Thomas j. Wat
son, business man, than about
Thomas j. Watson, man.

yet to meet his biographer

me. I am capable Cif Mr..
Deane is not Of paying trib-
ute to the integrity and in
telligence Of a man whose
opinions differ from mine.
I stand by my evaluation Of
Hoffacker: He is a fine Off
Ger and we could use more
like him.
Finally, in his last as
sertion. Mr.. Deane makes
a correct statement when he
says that I erred in Identify
ing the Swiss subject killed
when the U. N. shot up a ci-
william car, containing New
York Herald-Tribune cor
respondent Sanche de Gra-
mont and Rhodesian news
caster James Biddulph, as
Jean Claude CornaZ.
This was an honest error
and I freely admit that I
made it.
The dead man was first
identified as Jean Claude
Favre by the Katangan gov
ernment. Later it was said
that he was Mr.. Cornaz.
I have since learned that,
as Mr.. Deane states, Mr..
Cornaz was not killed. I
apologize to Mr.. Cornaz for
any inconvenience that my
statement may have caused
him.
But why does Mr.. Deane
make an issue of the matter,
a clear case of mistaken
identity? He would have
done better to have explained
why the U. N. fired with a
lethal weapon on an ordin-
ary passenger sedan bearing
Rhodesian license plates,
driving away from the scene
of battle, and carrying three
unarmed civilians.
So much for Mr.. Deane's
allegations. But he neatly
side-stepped the major issues
raised by REBELS, Mercenar-
les and Dividends"
These are that:
l. Under international law,
once the Katangan rebels eS-
tablished themselves in a
definite area and set up a
reasonably stable government
of their own, right of non-
intervention arose in their
favor, making the U. MS in
tervention illegal.
2. The forcible reintegra-
tion of Katanga into the
Congo will not solve the lat
ter's financial and political
difficulties.
3. Such a forcible REIN
tegration will not survive the
departure Of the bayonets
which impose it.
4. A solid basis for peaceful
refrigeration, later destroyed
by the U. NJ, was laid at the
Tananarive Conference in
March of 1861, in which
Tshombe played a leading
and constructive role.

assertions, if he can.

Thomas j. Watson 1874
1866, the man who for many
years was virtually synonym
Gus with IBM, was born near
Painted Post, Steuben County
in New York's Southern Tier.
He began his commercial
career by selling sewing ma
chimes and pianos from the
back of a wagon, and he pro-
gressed in true Alger fashion.
In due course. Watson
joined the National Cash
Register Corp. where he rose
to the position Of sales man
ager. MGR had antitrust
trouble just before World
War I, and Watson was
sentenced to a year in Jail
for his part in the company'S
illegal activities.
His difficulties were Just
beginning. for shortly there
after, while his conviction
was still being appealed,
Watson, like so many of his
colleagues and predecessors.
ran afoul Of NCR's president.
At the end Of 1918, he found
himself jobless.
But now the novel-like turn
in fortunes. In the spring Of
the following year with the
reversal of the conviction
still in the future, he became
president Of something called
the Computing-T -Tabulating-
Recording Company, known
to its relatively few inti-
mates as CTR. This was the
firm that became IBM.
THE DEGREE to which
this complex man dominated
his company explains the
title of the Beldens new
biography of Thomas j. Wat
son: Company spokesmen
like to say in the words Of
Emerson, (that IBM was)
the heightened shadow Of
one man."
The authors note that IBM
and the Watson family
opened company files and
personal correspondence to
us and helped with interviews
and suggestions, then left us
free to draw our own conclu-
sions." This remark notwith-
standing, the tone and en-
phasiS of the book strongly
suggest official biography.
But let us say that it appears
to be semi official. No ap-
proach could have been more
disastrous to Watson's men,
ory.
The man was full of con-
tradictions. Moreover, he was
human and therefore less
than sanity.
His speeches, say the Bel
dens, contained his credo,
the values he had come to
hold dear" and one Of these
was "the Importance of the
Individual"
BuC ne also SAID, Ihe good
of the each of us as individ-
uals is the greater good of
the company" Watson did
not invent the totalitarian
corporation, but he gave vast
currency to its basic idea:
that in one way or another,
the employe works for the
company 168 hours a week.
And Watson developed many
Of the techniques associated
with this idea.

COMMUNITY CARIBOU HUNT SET

Last year seven animals were lost because they were transported before they had been properly dressed and cooled.
 The hunt is being closely coordi- mated with the State Fish and Game Department
 A supply of blank game tags have been procured and sent to each of the participating villages Each hunter will place his or her name and number on three of the tags. They will be immediately at- tached to animals as they are killed.
 For Research
 A number of game agents will be on hand to remove the eyeballs and lower jaws of each animal for use in biolcg gical research.
 At least two officials of the BIA will be present on the hunt One will be in constant touch with the hunters and the second will be at gathering point to which the ani- mals will be brought
 One of the highlights of last years hunt came when an 80-year-old man and his wife showed up to take part. The man was wearing tennis shoes without socks and didn't have a rifle.
 Boots, socks and a rifle were loaned to him and he and his wife were let out of a truck near the | top of hill.
 By the time the truck had gone down the hill, letting hunters off at various points and had turned around to return. the old man and woman were spotted, standing over six prime caribou they had already killed.
