Hide and Seek

If Fairfax County school officials
had deliberately set out several months
ago to prolong confusion over the ade-
uuacy of county school construction,
they could not have done better job.
And the angry blast of criticism which
the County Board of Supervisors has
unleashed against this inept perform
ance is fully justified.
The issue Of construction adequacy
arose early this year from few specific
charges by Thomas G. Dodd, former
school construction director. School off,
cials adopted a button-lipped position
on the whole affair, which they main
tanned until an engineering consultant
was hired a few weeks ago to make
private check on the accusations Now
it appears not only that the charges
were true, but that Assistant Superin-
tendent James Woodbridge says he knew
they were true months ago and has
taken corrective action. If this is so,
why did he not speak up earlierP II
these were only isolated inadequacieS,
and If, indeed, school officials were
aware of them and took action to cor
rect them, surely the way to maintain
public confidence in the school system
was to make these facts known.
Instead, the School Board has daw-
died along for months with the 1ormu-
lation of a citizens committee which
presumably will investigate the entire
program of county school construction.
For its part, the Board of Supervisors
is rightly incensed at the School Board
and its administrators for failing to
answer the charges by this time. 1t Is
equally essential, however, that some
thing be done to patch up the obvious
breakdown in communications between
school officials and the county govern
ing body which has resulted, as one
Supervisor put it, in "a game OF hide
and seek"
Fairfax voters will be asked next
year to approve a massive bond issue to
provide additional claSSrooms which will
be sorely needed by 1864. Its chances
of success will be slight indeed If there
is any reason to doubt the efficiency
of the school system or the adequacy Of
it's standards of school construction.
The School Board owes the public clear
answer to the charges already raised.
And this should be the first order Of
business at the air-clearing meeting
which the Board of Supervisors has re-
quested with the school officials next
week.

Castro and Friend

The red carpet, with all the trim
mings, was rolled out for Algerian Prime
Minister Ahmed Ben Bella when he came
here to see the President last Monday.
A 2l-gun salute was fired on the
White House lawn in honor Of the Wis
itor. The United States Army Band
played. Detachments of Army, Air Force,
Navy, Marine and Coast Guard units
were on hand. President Kennedy said
it was a personal pleasure to welcome
the Algerian to Washington, and, in the
background, there was an implicit
promise of American financial help for
Algeria. ,
The next day Mr.. Ben Bella went
to Havana, where he received an even
more expansive welcome. When the
ceremonies were over, he and Fidel
Castro released a joint announcement
to the effect that they shared an essen
tial identity of viewpoints" in world
affairs. This included an agreement
between the two that the United States
must give up its naval base at Guam
tanamo.
Why do we go to such lengths to
give the VIP treatment to man who
certainly is no friend of ours, and who
probably will wind up in the same camp
with our most vocal enemies? There are,
we suppose, several reasons. For one,
Algeria now is in the United Nations
and will have a vote there. For another,
Mr.. Ben Bella is not yet clearly aligned
with the Communists, and we presum-
ably hope to keep him from going all the
way. Finally, he has his problems at
home-including, according to news
reports, a necessity to mollify Colonel
Houari Boumedienne, chief Of staff Of
the Algerian liberation army. Colonel
Boumedienne, it is said, opposed Ben
Bella visit to Washington, and the jour
ney to Havana, under this assumption,
was designed to placate the military
leader.
Well, we have our fingers crossed
on this whole business. We doubt very
much that the red-carpet treatment will
have any effect on Mr.. Ben Bella'S fu-
ture course, which probably will consist
of trying to work both sides of the street
while remaining closer to the Commu-
niStS than to the West. Sometime, just
for the novelty Of it, we would like to
see the United States take an unequi-
vocal stand on the proposition that 1t
will help it's friends and lift not the
smallest finger to help those who are
not It's friends. The results might be
both interesting and, for a change,
beneficial to us.

New Look at Berlin

Prior to the adjournment OF Con-
gress, Senator Mansfield, the Majority
Leader, made a speech in Springfield,
Massachusetts,, which received less at
tention than 1t deserved.
The heart of the speech lay in an
appeal for a new look at Berlin-for
reduction, or at least a greater sharing,
of the American commitment there.
This was predicated on conclusion that
our current attitude derives from judg-
mentS based on conditions which pre-
vailed 10 or Is years ago, and which are
no longer valid. Against this background,
the Montana Senator said: ITO stand
firm while circumstances move on is not
to stand firm at all. 1t is to recede into
irrelevance and frustrating impotence
from which the only escape may indeed
be an ignominious retreat or war OF
mutual humiliation"
Senator Mansfield was talking, real
ly, about the attitude OF our Western
allies. From all the evidence, they do
not share our fear of collision with
the Russians. They trade freely and
extensively with the Communist coun-
tries, while our trade in that area is
severely limited They have not met
their commitments to the NATO military
forces. And, despite prosperity which
rivals and in some respects exceeds our
own, they are not by any means carry
ing their fair share of the risks and
burdens of opposing the Communist
challenge. On the contrary, they seem
quite content to let Uncle Sam do 1t,
and the Majority Leader thinks the time
has come to put stop to this one-sided
business. He put 1t this way:
1t would appear to me that we have every
right to insist that those whose interests are
at least as directly involved as ours bear more
euutably the risks and costs which are in
yolved. At the least, 1t would appear to me
that they should join in an effort to find
rational alternative to this dangerous and
costly situation, by such honorable means as
may be open, be it by diplomacy, be 1t through
the United Nations or through conferences on
Germany at which the European nations who
may be prepared to contribute, as well as
Germans, might be present Indeed, it is not at
all inappropriate that both the United States
and the Soviet Union move further back in
such negotiations while the Europeans them
selves make a greater effort to find answers
to the problems posed at Berlin by divided
Germany.
In any event, I do not believe that we
should be dissuaded from seeking more ra-
tional answers to the Berlin dilemma and
related questions by the raised eyebrows or
the relatively cost-free reticences OF others,
so long as we continue to bear the prepon-
derant burden Of cost and responsibility.
It is a bit difficult to reconcile this
speech with the firm assertion, repeated
so often that it has become virtually an
article of faith, that the United States
will fight to maintain its position in
Berlin, come hell or high water. This
is not the first time, however, that the
Majority Leader has spoken out on this
question, and in this speech, as well
as in those which went before, what
he says makes great deal OF sense
to us.

How to Fail in Politics

To paraphraSe the title OF cur
rently popular musical show (How to
Succeed in Business Without Really
Trying), New York State Democrats
apparently have figured out how to fail
in politics without much effort.
1t is needless now to retrace all
the steps by which the party aStutely
assured itself without miracle) Of
dramatic defeat next month. 1t had
overindulged in the luxury Of intra-
family squabbling in the name OF
reform and revolt against "bosSism"
in the image of Tammany Halls Car
mine De Sapio - before facing up to
the problem of choosing nominees for
Governor and United States Senator.
The task, in all fairness, had its built
in hazards since the Republicans were
standing pat on a strong ticket headed
by Governor Rockefeller and Senator
JavitS, pair of tested vote-getters.
The G.. o. P. helped (itself) when the
Republican controlled legislature set
party primary dates on September 8,
leaving relatively little time for fresh
political faces to become known to
Statewide voters.
In this setting, New York City's
Democratic Mayor Bob Wagner, who
inherited the designation as party boss
when Mr. De Sapio was bounced, took
the lead role in selecting Robert M.
Morganthau, then a United States At
torney, as the gubernatorial nominee
and James B. Donovan, international
lawyer and novice in politics, as the
choice for Senator. Their character
has not been challenged, nor has there
been evidence that either one has zest
or skill in the field of political cam
paigning. In the background have been
rumors that the Kennedy adminiStra-
ton in Washington has dabbled in the
Empire State stew, but if so there is
no hard evidence that it can make the
party ticket more palatable at this late
date.
All of this, of course, has something
more than one-State Importance. Mr..
Rockefeller, for example, is considered

Teachers Pay

your editorial, fairly good but
somewhat less than fair! The
Board of Education's propos-

have been adopted, but so
many individuals - like the
members of the House Dis
trict Committee-do not yet
think that teachers are worth
first rate salaries. Therefore,
figures for the latter seem
fantaStically high in contrast
to current schedules.

ton and community station.

AppIuuds Lawrence

Permit me to say a few
words about David Lawrence,
who, occasionally of late, has
been under attack from pre-
sumably (so-called) liberal
sources.
For a great many years
now have read Lawrence's
columns, and always with
great relish. Intellectually he
stands with his feet solidly
on the ground, never carried
away by the winds of ex-
pediency and feverish false
doctrines. I regard him as
one of the truly great writer's
of all time and this country
is fortunate in having such
a courageous and sound ex-
positor of its scope. direc-
tions and goals - always
within the framework Of our
wonderful Constitution, al
ways remembering the wis
dom of our founding fathers
in their skillful construction
of said Constitution.
After re ding so much
noxious drivel these days Of
writer's seeking to overturn
overnight many of our &C
cepted ways of life with at
tendant discomfitures and
hatreds and, often, violence,
it is refreshing to hear sound
gospel as daily expounded by
David Lawrence. In my eSti-
nation, and I think. of many
others, he is truly a great
writer and a pillar of strength
against the Pollyanna's and
gadflies who are so vocal and
who so glibly strive to under
mine the wholesome and long
enduring foundations of our
beloved country. Long may
his valuable efforts continue.

Virqinio Creepers'

Slow drivers? Nonsense.
Your editorial on the "Vir-

cophony. These people are
the defenders of highway
sanity, the darlings of the
police, our last line Of de-
fense against demon speed.
Everyone knows that speed
must be held below the post
ed limit. Why do you suppose
that inspection systems
which reject cars for torn
floor mats and broken door
handles, have no - repeat,
no - speedometer check? II
the cars in back were to
gain the open road ahead, no
telling what monstrous
speeds they might attain.

highway sanity, the zig-zag

major cooperative effort,
which consists of the skillful
maintenance of several cars
in strategic offset positions
at 35 miles per hour on dual
highways in As m,p.h. zones,
is so valuable in reducing
speed that driving times can
often be kept above those of
the 1920 era.
Here is to be found one of
the rare examples in mod
ern civilization reinforcing

ly unstable, goaded to froth-
ing insanity by the willy ma

Politics as Usual

The time has come when

office is considered of more
Importance than the faithful

The principal inquiry con-
cerning a candidate for Of

capable or faith full, but
whether he is true to the

When eur free and inde-
pendent electors are baffled
by q system of misrepresen-
tation, falsehood and in
trigue, and when the honest
and well-meaning people Of
our country become the dupes
of politicians and designing
demagogues, the elec ctiv e
franchise, instead of con-
tinuing the great bulwark Of
our liberties, will become the
fatal engine of partiality and
