Highway Setback

The House subcommittee report
which, in effect, blocks the Districts
highway program is unrealiStic. For
most Of the projects which the sub
committee seems to have set its face
against will have to be built sooner
or later.
What is going to happen, for ex-
ample, if the Three Sisters bridge is
not built? Is Route Sc, when completed
in Virginia, going to stop at the rivers
edge? Or is the great volume of traffic,
including trucks, which it will carry to
be dumped onto the Roosevelt Island
bridge?
The major opposition to the high
way program comes, of course, from the
rapid transit advocates. And to the
extent that it is feasible, rapid transit
must be introduced into the metropolitan
area. The need is for balanced pro-
gram Of highways and mass tranSporta-
ton, since neither can do the Job alone.
This being so, we do not suppose any
great harm is done by stalling the high
way program until the report of the
National Capital Transportation agency
becomes available, presumably in No
vember. But it is rather silly.

Of Creeks and Fords

We were touched the other day by
the plea of one of our sister dailies to
preserve, as historical marker no less,
the old Aqueduct Bridge piers jutting up
in the Potomac. 1t wasn't so much the
idea-about as meritorious as saving
old tree stumps-as the tender concern
that got us.
It set us to thinking about the i'm
minent elimination Of two vehicular
fordS in Rock Creek Park. The creek
crossings no longer will be needed once
new roadway Is constructed in the
Zoo area. And here, dear sister daily,
is a loss we all can truly lament. For
who among us, at one time or another,
has not piloted our amphibious craft
through the stream?
For youngsters particularly, this
always has been an unaccountably de-
lightful adventure. Perhaps they fancy
themselves as pioneers blazing watery
trail in their Conestoga wagon. Adults,
too, have had their momentS-not all
so stirring. Wet brake Innings never
improved tempers, and some drivers
have endured drenchings caused by
other cars rushing past in mid-stream
Come to think of it, the fords have
been more picturesque than practical
Even moderately heavy rain made
them impossible. Even so, they will
be sadly missed by many. But for those
who insist on getting wet, one crossing
is being retained. This is at Miller's

Integrotion Capsule
M. Allen.

Occasionally a writer or a
speaker will condense into a
single capsule the simple
truth about a subject which
a million words pro and con
have missed.
Such a capsule is contained
in a brief article in the
August issue of Human
Events written by Holmes
Alexander, one paragraph of
which follows:
"Integration is not the de-
sire Of either the white or
Negro races. Each, in Africa
and America, seeks superior
ity rather than equality.
Only the nnatic leftists Of
both races and the profess
sional mischiefmakers, most
ly Communists, insist that
race-mixing is desirable as
a leveler. The long-held doc
trine Of separate-but-equal,
even though not absolutely
obtainable, today looks to be
one of the worlds great wis
doms, destroyed by vain and
foolish men,"
I hope every misguided in
tegrationist will place these
words in his or her hat and
read them frequently when
tempted to urge unrestricted
association between the
races, which can bring only
destruction to both.

Tax Cut Theories Versus Facts

On August / a Washing
ton paper objected editorially
to the phrasing of a recent
Gallup Poll question on the
deSirability Of a tax cut. 1t
wrote:
One may cavil at DR..
Gallup's key queStion-'Would
you favor or oppose a cut in
Federal income taxes at this
time, if a cut meant that the
Government would go further
into debt?'-on the ground
that it is loaded, although
certainly Internationally. A
tax cut now would further
unbalance the budget, but
over the longer term it could
be expected to produce much
smaller deficits than would
be incurred at present rates.
1t would therefore appear
that DR.. Gallup's question is
reflective of the traditional
attitude in the United States,
which equates every increase
in the Federal deficit, no
matter how small or ephe-
neral, with deadly sim"
That very afternoon, at
his press conference, Presi-
dent Kennedy voiced the
same objection to the Gallup
Poll question. He said:
Nov. that question was
asked in a particular way.
You might get a different
answer if you'd asked the
question differently. If you
said, DO you believe in a tax
cut as a means of preventing
a recession at some future
date and unemployment
which will bring potentially
a larger deficit and a further
increase in the debt?' I think
you might have gotten a diff
ferent percentage"

torial and President Ken

Justice CIork's Comment

In a break with custom, Justice Tom
Clark, speaking in San Francisco, has
made some interesting comments on the
Supreme Courts recent ruling in the
New York prayer case.
The gist Of his remarks, according
to news dispatches, is that there was at
first widespread misunderstanding of
the decision because of the time pres
sure under which newSmen covering the
court must operate. We do not think
that this is correct. The news dispatches
which we saw were accurate in reflect
ing the courts ruling. Furthermore, even
II some news dispatches were inaccurate,
this hardly explains Justice Potter
Stewards dissenting opinion or the i'm
plications of the concurring opinion by
Justice Douglas.
Justice Clark thinks the public now
understands, and is comforted by its
understanding, that the court merely
held that "the Constitution says that the
Government shall take no part in the
establishment of religion" and that mo
means no."
We have seen little evidence that
this is so. Certainly no such evidence is
found in the testimony of Episcopal
Bishop James A. Pike, himself member
of the bar of the Supreme Court, who
said last week that the court has dis
torted the meaning of the First Amend
ment." The remarks in Pittsburgh on the
same day by Cardinal Spellman lend
no better support to Justice Clark's
hopeful estimate Of the public under
standing. And our guess is that the fears
which have been expressed with refer
ence to the real significance of the de-
cision in the New York case are we'll
founded.
1t will be possible to make better
judgment, however, when the court
meets again. At its next term, presum-
ably, it will decide, among other things,
whether the First Amendment forbids
the recitation of the Lords Prayer in the
public schools. This ruling, especially in
view of Justice Clarks comments, will
be awaited with great interest.

THE PASSING SCENE
Kennedy Popularity Holds
By WILLIAM S. Whit

Stripping away either
toadying to the administra-
ton or partisan rancor
toward it, where does Presi-
dent Kennedy now really
stand?
DispaSSionate analysis sug-
gestS some conclusions.
The Presidents personal
popularity is still high,
though probably not nearly
so high as is suggested in
the polls. For these polls
have a grave defect. To ask
people some such general
question as How do you
think the President is
doing?" will usually return q
misleadingly high favorable
response. He Is, in such
questions, not running
against anybody else. The
general inquiry, in short, is
far different from the very
pointed question asked in the
polling booths: Do you prefer
this President to that spe-
cific. concrete contender for
President named so-and-so?
Personally Approved
All the same and in the
net there is no real doubt
that Mr.. Kennedy would be
reelected If the 1864 cleo
ton were held today. There
is, however, much evidence
that (while he personally il
still generally approvedD
many of his programs and
advisers are not. The reason
for seeming inconsistency is
not hard to find.
His hold results from a
wide and correct impression
that in the one really vital
present thing in our lives,
the cold war, the President
is behaving with courage and
skill and without partisan
motives. The next biggest
real concern of the people
the state Of business Is re-
ducing his edge Of popular
ity but has not cut it below
the safety level.
In a word. it is along the
Oldest frontier of all-that
frontier defining a Nations
safety from without-that
Mr.. Kennedy is doing well.
And 1t is along the New From
tier-that area Of domestic
innovation and tinkering-
in which he is not doing so
well.
The smallest look at the
actions of the present DEM
ocratic Congress show this is
precisely the case. For this
Congress has been enormously

meantime, the Republican

existence instead of victory.
The national goal Of cock

by the Kennedy Administra-
ton is a radical, not mod
crate departure from our his
torical position of being the

what really matters-foreign
policy. foreign aid, foreign
trade, defense-and very lit
tie in the Presidents support
on New Frontier notions.
Mr.. Kennedy's difficulties
with Congress land this COL
umnist believes with the
country, tool have not come
when he has been acting as
this country's one national
leader in facing the perils.
and costs. Of the cold war.
Those difficulties have come
where he has asked Of Con-
gress too much too soon on
things like medical care and
urban reform and so on.
Democrats Balky
These are not in themselves
insignificant. But the point
is that, relative to the i'm
mense and overriding prob
lem Of the cold war and the
next greatest problem with
the economy, they are pres
emily almost irrelevant, both
to Congress and country.
Again, it Is wrong to pre-
sent these difficulties as the
work of "the Republicans"
and to suggest that If only
more Democrats are elected
to Congress all will be well.
1t Is not 1.-The Republicans"
who have baked the Presi-
dent so much as it Is the
Democrats.
And among the Democrats
the real source of trouble has
not been the moderates and
conservatives so much as the
liberals. True, the moderate
conservatives have checked
him on non-essentials. But
they have massively upheld
and strengthened him in the
one part of his AdminiStra-
ton which has been really
successful-the conduct Of
cold war.
But the liberals have end
lessly pulled and hauled at
him to concern himself, in
this time of universal crisis.
with comparatively bidding
and foredoomed domestic re-
forms. These, in inevitably
failing, have made him look
comparatively weaker than
he need have looked. The
score for his Congressional
program looks poor primarily
because he has insisted upon
going domestically most Of
the time with his party's
left wing at a moment in his
tory in which what that wing
has offered is second rate In

Many readers will take is

July Is issue that President
Kennedy lis at heart a mod
erate-to-conservative man."
In the field of foreign policy
the Kennedy Administration
appears to be committed to
the radical proposition Of
co-existence with the Com
munists at any price. Presi-
dent Kennedy and his spokes-
men have let it be known
that they look upon the ad-
mission Of Red China to the
U. N. as inevitable. The Ken
needy Administration is back
ing away from our commit
ment to maintain the free
dom of West Berlin by
suggesting a coalition with
the Communists to control
the access routes, even if
this means alternating West
Germany's Adenauer and
Frances De Gaulle. This
same policy is reflected in
the Kennedy Administrations
relaxation of import-export
controls on trade with Com
muniSt nations, in a soft
policy with respect to Castro'S
Communist Cuba, a coalition
with the Communists in Laos
and a disarmament proposal
based on gradually subor-
dinating our military estab-
lishment to the control Of
the United Nations. Add to
this rather alarming list of
programs the Kennedy pro-
poSals for a nuclear test ban

BY DONALD MINTZ

ZION ana efficiency must be
paid for with instinctual dis
orders" 1t is certainly pos
sible to blame science for
civilization and efficiency"
But Mr.. Sykes goes further.
He considers that a fatal de-
feet is inherent in whatever
it is that science. that huge
and ill-defined word, COM
priSes.
HE CALLS on the cele-
brated interpreter Of Zen to
the west. D. T. Suzuki. "You
must not think with the head
but with the abdomen with
the belly. This may sound
strange. According to modern
science, the head Is filled
with masses in gray and
white with cells and fibers
connected this way and that.
How can the Zen master
ignore this fact and advise us
to think with the abdomen?
The head symbolizes in
tellection But the abdom-
inal part where the viscera
are contained is controlled
by the involuntary nerves
and represents the m ost
primitive state of evolution
in the structure of the hui
man body.
THE abdominal parts are
closer to nature, from which
we all come and to which
we all return. They are
therefore in a more intimate
contact with nature and can
feel it and talk with it and
hold it for inspection"
Yet within two paragraphs
Mr.. Sykes associates the word

normal, western sense-with
this quotation. It thus ap-
pears that our salvation new
ertheless lies in understand
ing won primarily with what
have become the standard
tools of European psychology.
This understanding presum-
ably must be relatively for

view this as a call to science,
not a call away from it; not
all science is physics, nor are

Sykes Justly detests. Alex
Comfort has issued such a
summons in Darwin and the
