for the India press. He noted
there are four English Ian
guage dailieS in New Delhi and
their coverage Of the assem-
bly, was exceptionally good.
Little Effect on India
But the famous religious news
editor, winner of every major
award in his field, said the
World Council of Churches i'm
pact upon India was practi-
cally negligible. Our image in
New Delhi as Christians was
not the best. BY the time it was
over we were just another group
of tourists to the Indians.
A major drawback of the
agenda was failure to provide
time for the delegates to go
out and take a look at New
Delhi and India, Mr.. Dugan
commended. He added that there
was no language difficulty as
practically everybody spoke
some English, even cab drivers.
A large number of American
newspapers sent their religion
editors to the meeting, the
speaker said. There were re-
porters from London newspa-
pers and the Manchester

Jazz Hits a High Note

From Basin Street to Constitution
Hall is a long haul in terms of music.
Symbolically, at least, the New Orleans
lane is the original Tin Pan Alley. And
our Constitution Hall is where, these
many years, the long hairs have had
their innings with the venerable three
BIS. So it is with some surprise, and for
many of us great deal of delight, that
we find the stage set the next four days
for something called the First Interna-
tional Jazz Festival.
Loosely speaking, jazz is anything
from a combo to the grandioSe orches-
trationS of a Paul Whiteman or George
GerShwin, or more recently, the third
stream" concoctionS of Gunther Schul-
Ter. All of us have danced or tapped
a foot or just listened to one kind or an
other, but not always with a complete
awareneSS of social approval Maybe
some of us have been tardy learning
where the true spirit and heart of
American music-making lies.
Not so with Mrs. Jouett ShouSe who
is steering the jazz festival as chairman
of the Presidents Music Committee of
the People Program. Mrs.
Shouse is dynamic vice president of
the National Symphony Orchestra and
granddaughter of Boston Symphony
founder. Her conviction is that our only
genuinely native music form has pene-
trated more deeply into the ken of for
eign countries, not excluding the Com
muniSt-dominated ones, than anything
we have culturally exchanged. And the
facts pretty much bear her out.
For those who used to slip down to
U street for a rather Sheepish dose of
bebop, it is revelation to know that
Constitution Hall, Howard University's
Cramton Auditorium, the Washington
Coliseum and, yes, the Church of the
Epiphany will be buzzing with every
kind of popular music through Sunday
Washington's own Duke Ellington is
only one of the magnets, but to know he
will be sharing the Constitution Hall
stage with the National Symphony to-
morrow night is to pose the question:
Has. jazz come of age as a salable ma
tional product for which we should be
proud? The answer may come this week
end or more plausibly next year when
we hope the Second International Jazz
Festival will have made this interesting
event an annual fixture here.

Day for Meditation

President Kennedy is right in hold
Ing that this is day not only for hon.
oring Americas war dead but also for
meditation and prayer-meditation on
the sacrifices made for preservation of
the ideals that have made the Nation
great and prayer for a peace that will
make such sacrifices unnecessary in the
future.
The row on row of graves at Airing
ton and other resting places of those
who gave their lives in the service of
their country attest the courage and
patriotism of Americans of several wars.
Memorial Day itself evolved from the
determination of the Grand Army of
the Republic to pay homage to the dead
Of the Civil War The observance has
been expanded to cover those who died
in all the wars since 1865.
The recent death of General Long
streets widow in her Tooth year has
brought to light the little-known fact
that several thousand widows of Civil
War soldiers of both sides still receive
pensions from the Government. Many
Of these survivors of men who fought a
century ago will join in today'S cere-
monies, beside the loved ones of victims
of two World Wars, the Korean War and
the SpaniSh-American War. There will
be special meaning for them and for all
the bereaved in the Presidents call for
Americans to unite in prayer for sue
cess in our search for a Just and lasting
peace"

With q Grain of Salt

With great interest I read
your Sundays articles: For
and Against the Roosevelt
Memorial" My particular at
tention was drawn to Mr..
HarbeSon's contention that
there is no symbolism of the
late Presidents life or ac-
tions, yet we know that our
beloved President also repre-
sented our country as As
Sistant Secretary of the Navy
for many years.
Mr.. Harbeson also calls
our attention to the fact
that the use of cement and
steel will result in ugly
cracks that will make the
memorial inappropriate by
its impermanence.
Recently, it has come to
my attention that it is feasi-
BILE to make lasting blocks
of salt from seawater, usa-
BILE for building blocks. Why
can't we combine the lack of
symbolism in the proposed
memorial with the possibili-
ty of a new industry?
Let us perpetuate our love
for the man whom we called
the Salt of the Earth" by
giving him a fitting guard
of honor, made from the salt
of the sea. C. G. Van Schelven.

Chinese REFUGEES

A mass exodus of Chinese
refugees fleeing into British
held Hong Kong has fol-
lowed reports of widespread
starvation on the Red-con-
trolled mainland. Unhappily,
most of these refugees, num-
bering in the tens of thou
sands. have been returned by
the British to Communist
China. The British have built
a massive wire barrica d e
across the Hong Kong-Red
China border in an effort to
stem the mounting tide of
refugees.
Due to the appalling over
crowdedness already afflict-
ing Hong Kong, the British
appear to have no alterna-
tive but to return these hap
less victims of Red oppres-
sion. The fault lies with the
nations of the free world
which have closed their
doors to people of Oriental
stock. Although many coun-
tries such as the Unite d
States, Canada and Aus
tralia have the ability to alb
sorb large numbers of immi-
grants, discriminatory quota
restrictions permit only a
bare trickle to enter. The
regime on Formosa has Of
fered to accept those refu-
gees who wish to come there.
The United States, if true to
her ideals of freedom and
human dignity. will not hesi-
tate to open her gates to the
Chinese refugees and indeed
to all other homeless peoples.

Federal Dead Wood

Secretary of c ON cree
Hodges has made a sane and
very conservative observation
regarding dead wood" in the
Federal civilian service. Many
other able persons who have
entered Government from in
dustry have voiced similar
opinions. So far as I know,
however, they have been
high in their praise of the
really good employees who
constitute the vast majority.
Inefficient and uproductive
employees can and should be
weeded out. This can be done
under our civil service sys-
TEN, although in many cases
it is not easy. When vacan-
cies are thus created, they
should not, except in rare
cases, be filled. Most, but not
all, offices are over-staffed.
Service to the public would
not be adversely affected if
10 per cent of the personnel
in the larger agencies in
Washington and in the major
field establishments were dis
persed with. That would re-
lease a lot of tax dollars that
could be spent for goods and
services and thus help boost
our economy.
Another source of waste
that could be stopped with
out injury to the public or
to any employe is unneces-
sary travel. If the amount of
money available for this pur-
pose were sharply limited
and restricted to essential as
signmentS, vast sums could be
saved every year with no det-
riment to the service. The
telephone, the telegraph, and
our own postal service are
more often than not equally
effective. far faster and can
be had at a tiny fraction of
the cost of travel. Incidentally
when travel is essential, the
per diem allowance should be
increased. Present allowances
are not generally sufficient to
cover actual necessary ex-
penSeS.

Our Crowded World

VIC Va VIZ 44AAAAoAA DSOOCA
ment Association, write to
applaud the report by The
Stars staff reporter, David
Broder, calling attention to
the quiet, earnest efforts of
the United States Govern
ment to begin to solve the
problems caused by the
worlds Population Explo-
sion" and reiterating that
'the ability of the under
developed countries to con-
troll unwanted increases in
population is probably the
most important single fac
tor in deciding the economic
future of those countries"
However, the Worlds
Number 2 Problem" is not a
remote matter of concern
only to India and Japan
the stork already roosts on our
doorstep. The Human Better
ment Association, a 20-year-
old, nationwide community
resoure. through its program
of voluntary sterilization,
offers one answer to the des-
perate pleas of parents seek
ing help in controlling their
fertility. Recently, Margaret
Sanger said, II have had the
opportunity to evaluate ma
tional organizations working
effectively in the family
planning field. The Human
Betterment Association is
such an organization. Indeed,
in its program of education,
research and direct aid, it is
the only one, to my knowl-
edge, supporting and pro-
viding voluntary sterilization
for those men and women in
need who request it when
other birth control methods
have failed or proved inap-
plicable."
Just as the physicians con-
Germ today is with preven-
tive medicine, so Human
Betterment's concern is in
the area of preventive social
service. The majority of So
cial agencies relieves symp-
toms, but often cannot cure
the cause. This agency, on
the other hand, corrects a
basic condition which pro-
duces serious and continuing
family problems = the birth
Of unwanted children to par
ents unable andior unwilling
to nurture those they al
ready have.
We stand by to help those
who wish to help themselves.

Falls Church Friction

In recent weeks The Star
has again reported an attack
launched by the Falls Church
Taxpayers League on the
Falls Church school system,
the city's present tax poll
cies and the right of Federal
employees to hold local Of
flee.
This is a perennial affair
in Falls Church. The same
people representing the same
groups, under the guise of
economy, continue their at
temptS to set back the prog
reSS that has been made by
reform-council.
They have succeeded in
strangling and paralyzing for
18 months a successfully
passed bond issue for schools
and other public improve
ments by contesting the le-
gality of the bond issue in
the Virginia courts.
They have now mounted a
new campaign designed to
confuse, diStort and exagger-
ate the issues at hand. This
is accompanied by a series of
wholesale threats to sue the
city council and the school
board at the drop of a hat,
in an effort to harass and
intimidate legally elected and
appointed officials. This is
an old stratagem successful
ly employed by the same peo-
pie ten years ago, which will
not work again.
The overwhelming majori-
ty Of citizens in Falls Church
can detect fact from fiction,
can appreciate sober and
honest consideration of is
sues by the present council,
and will reject any efforts
made to undermine and re-
verse the slow, steady prog
ress that has been made dur
ing the past few years.
This progress only recent
ly received national recogni-
ton when the National Mu-
nicipal League and Look
Magazine jointly named the
city of Falls Church as one
of II all-American cities for
outstanding civic achieve
ment over the written objec-
tions of the Taxpayers
League and its supporters.
The people of Falls Church
will not be fooled by the des-
perate tactics of an irreSpon-
Sible opposition.

Tyson's Corner Project

In connection with the
matter of high-riSe buildings
IN Fairfax County, and with
particular reference to the
proposed development of Ty-
sons Corner. following is a
suggestion for the Depart
ment of Defense and the
Fairfax County planners.
At present the Department
of Defense has a steel, skele-
ton-type tower at Tyson's
Corner which supports vari-
GUS antennas used in the re-
laying of radio communica-
tions. The tower is located
on the highest part of the
area and will be in the midst
of the planned development
there. The structure is tall
1t must be tall to do it's job
and can be seen from miles
around. It serves a very i'm
portant purpose and OBJ
viously was designed solely
along functional lines. 1t
certainly is not a thing of
beauty! A piece of land of
considerable size was &C
quired for the tower site.
Here is the suggestion:
Since the military is chron-
ically short of office space
and quarters, why not re-
place the steel skeleton with
an office or apartm e n t
building Of equivalent height,
specially designed to meet
the radio requirements now
met by the present tower?
The location would be ideal
for either type Of building.
Portions of the walls of the
upper floors could be made
of fiberglass or other mate
rial transparent to radio
waves, through which the
antennas could "look." Space
could be provided behind the
panels for the antennas
proper, and room could be
provided below ground level
for the transmitting and re-
eeiving equipment. The net
result would be a structure
which would be functional
from the radio standpoint,
useful from the space stand
point, and pleasing from an
aesthetic point of view.
For what better combina-
ton could one ask?
