Mr.. Shnoo went off In a cor

He ordered the men TO dig q
huge hole in the floor Of the

over the side. Mr.. Shnoo got
some wide planks and laid them
In the hole so they slanted
down the side like q big bam-

Candid Candidate

There is a refreshing candor about
Nelson Rockefeller's news conference
reminder that any Governor of New York
State is a potential candidate for
presidential nomination. For while there
have been exceptions, Mr.. Rockefeller's
statement as practical matter not only
is fundamentally accurate but amounts
to a frank acknowledgement that he
considers himself clearly available for
higher public office If he retains the
governorship this year.
Furthermore, Mr.. Rockefeller like
wise has diSdained some of the other
coy cover-upS that candidates so often
employ when running for one office
while having their attention fixed on
even higher political goals. He has de-
clined thus far, for example, to issue
the familiar pat pledge that if reelected
he will serve out his full new term in
Albany because his "only interest" is in
the welfare of New York State, and so
on. He is refusing, too, to run against
himself in the sense of agreeing that he
must win this year by a greater margin
than the 573,000-vote edge he piled up
in 1858, or admit that he has lost
strength. IF I can win by plurality
of one vote, I'm inland that's what
I'm shooting for" he said. Anything
I get beyond that is wonderful"
Mr.. Rockefeller is realiSt, of course,
and knows very we'll that as Governor
of New York he will be one of the top
prospects for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1864. His Democratic
critics know it, too, and already are
trying to make capital out Of his "im-
modesty" in admitting his availability
two years in advance and with guber-
material campaign yet unfinished. From
this distance, however, Mr.. Rockefeller's
lack of reluctance is pleasing break
with the conventional.

Almond Appointment

During the 1860 campaign Virginia's
former Governor, J. Lindsay Almond, jr.,
campaigned vigorously for John F. Ken
needy, while Virginia's Senator Byrd
maintained golden silence" This di-
vergence, however, does not explain why
the Senate in the last Congress did
nothing about Mr.. Almonds nomination
to the Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals. To the best Of our knowledge,
no word was spoken. The Senate Judi
ciary Committee simply decided to pun
ish the former Governor because, at the
eleventh hour, he took a stand in oppo-
sition to massive resistance" in Vir-
ginia and in favor of keeping public
schools open.
The President now has given Mr..
Almond a recess appointment to the
court, which means that he can at least
serve with pay until the end of the next
session of the Senate without confirma-
ton. We hope, however, that the better
nature of those responsible for this "lit-
tie" business will assert itself, and that
Mr.. Almond will be confirmed when the
Senate meets again next year.

The Curse of Washington

With the long awaited National
Capital mass transit plan scheduled for
publication next week, Engineer Com
missioner Clarke has chosen timely
moment to cry out against the endless
inter-agency pickering over city devel-
opment which he says has become "the
curse of Washington"
Surely it is hard to imagine more
senseless and self-defeating perform
ance than the campaign being waged
by anti-highway forces to inStill belief
in the public mind that mass transit
is the be-all and cure-all of Washing
tons transportation problems. AS an
example, General Clarke notes that the
American Institute of Architects intends
to publish in January a 96-page docu-
ment opposing highways and support
ing mass transportation and that further
they would initiate lobbying group to
push the mass transportation solution"
His point is that there is no single
solution, and that, behind all the emo
ton, engineering studies (including pre-
sumably those conducted as a basis for
the new transit plan) offer the best hope
of a sensible answer to the controversy.
On the basis of these studies he says:
I believe that we can secure among
all the agencies a remarkable degree of una
nimity on the numbers of people for whom
adequate mass transportation should be pro-
vided and the numbers who should be pro-
vided with adequate facilities for travel tndi-
vidually or in car pools by automobile
My proposal is quite simple. Let us
attempt to arrive at agreed total volumes or
percentages of the total travel (by major
corridors if necessary for which we will
plan each mode of transportation. Let us allow
each agency to determine and plan an ade-
quate system to provide for the agreed-upon
loads. In this way we could at least get prog
ress without the planners competing for traf-
fic loads to justify individual broad plans. If
this first step could be agreed upon the re-
naming steps are relatively simple. They
consist of co-ordinating the detailed planning
and construction of the various facilities to
be built so that each system provides for the
other without undue waste and for mutual
support.
The Generals confidence that these
technical studies are capable of clearly
demonstrating not only the kind and
degree of transportation that Wash
ington area residents need, but the
kind they might choose to use, is in
teresting. For 1t has always seemed
to us that these masses Of statistical
data could be used in variety Of ways
to prove a variety of things. Certainly
the manner in which they are applied
by the National Capital Transportation
Agency to Justify it's new transit system
in relation to highways will be of great
Importance in analysing the Meta
report.

Double TroubIe-Aqdin

Well, the fiscal condition of the Ma
tons Capital, as outlined to the Com
missioners by the District budget office,
is just about as bad as the staff experts
had warned it would be. Once again 1t
is quite clear that the proposed budget
for next year will have to be split into
two parts-one reflecting those expendi-
lures which can be covered by currently
foreseeable revenues, and the other re-
curing legislation to provide additional
income. This double-trouble approach
was selected reluctantly, for the results
have been chaotic when 1t has been
followed in the past
The initial effort Of the Commits
sioners must Of course be to squeeze
any excess fat from the proposed budget,
even though budget officials say their
estimates of need are "parSimonious."
Moreover, those citizens who plead for
special causes at the Commissioners
budget hearings on November should
be more than ordinarily aware of the
financial dilemma STILL it is hardly pos
sible that the requests can be trimmed
back sufficiently. The proposed budget
which can be financed from current
revenues is virtually devoid of money
for the construction of schools, libraries,
hospitals, welfare facilities and other
public struction-containin scant
$826,000 as compared with the $24
million authorized for these purposes
this year. Unless additional revenues
are found, the already tagging con-
struction program will come to halt.
=, Where to look? The budget office
proposes the usual three alternatives
more Federal loans, higher local taxes
or a higher Federal payment-and 1t
is likely, as in the past, that some COM
bination of these three possibilities will
be proposed to Congress in January.
There is a point, however, at which
the continued upward spiral of local tax
alton will tend to depress rather than
increase revenues, and there is ample
warning in the tax analysis prepared by
the budget office that some of these
limits are in sight. Eight years ago,
Congress agreed that it had just obli-
CATION to share equally with local tax
payers in the costs of physical improve
ments in Washington, many of which
directly benefit the Federal Government
and those persons who live outside the
city limits but who pay no taxes here.
This agreement has not been kept The
Commissioners must somehow make
Congress understand that the local COM
munity cannot forever bear the burden
alone-that the result of continued Fed
eral neglect can only be severe deteri-
Grafton in the standards of the Capital
City which Congress and the Nation as
a whole have come to expect.

Nusser's Finances

It is true, as Bernard S.
White says in his letter, that
we are sending anti-aircraft
defensive missiles to Israel
to counter Soviet aggressive
arms supplied to Egypt. But
while Israel must buy the
Hawk missiles, it is the
United States which finances
NaSser's purchases Of Soviet
bombers, tanks and other ag-
gressive weapons.
We help pay the freight for
the social reform program
which keeps Nasser going.
That enables NaSser to spend
money on Soviet arms though
he is threatened from no.
where. Nasser without help
from the Unite d Sta ties
couldn't begin to finance his
rearmament program.
Apparently there is an I'M
derstanding between the
United States and the Soviet
Union to keep Nasser propped
up.

Welfare Shoke-Up

Upon adiourning his intensive In
yeStigation of the District relief pro-
gram, Senator Byrd. of West Virginia
made it plain that Congress expects
thorough and drastic revision of Public
Welfare Department operations The
high level personnel changes just
ordered by the Commissioners are an
understandable and not unexpected
initial step in the augmentation OF
that order.
But it is important, we think, that
no one be under the misrepresentation
that these re-aSsignments alone will
bring the substantial Improvements
necessary. That fact was recognized by
Senator Byrd when he said he saw no
purpose at this particular moment in
looking for a Scapegoat or whipping
boy. He was right. Indeed, the pattern
of inefficiency and sloppy adminiStra-
ton disclosed by the Senate hearings
was far too widespread to fall on the
shoulders of any two or three officials.
AS far as the hierarchy of the depart
ment is concerned, there is blame enough
for all. Still, change in the leadership
of those activities where the major faults
were uncovered makes SenSe-aS long as
these reassignments are accompanied by
related Improvements.
Fortunately, there are signs OF
progress in this direction. According to
welfare Director Shea, candidates now
are being interviewed to fill the new
post of controller, who will bear the
principal responsibility for putting the
department on a more buSineSs-like
basis. New jobs have been created to
substantially increase the welfare in
vestigative staff. A team Of experts from
the General Accounting office and the
District government management office

dural reforms

Report from India

When / was leaving for the
United States there was a
strong upsurge in India over
skirmishes on the border be-
tween India and China.
While Indian Communists
we're frustrated and upset
over the reports, a feeling
prevailed that we must repel
the Chinese aggression with
all our might. In Delhi I dis
cussed the matter with a
Communist member Of Par
lament, who threw much
light on the official attitude
of the Communist Party OF
India towards the territorial
claims and continued provo
cation by China. I gathered
that he was not happy over
the official stand of the
party. Indeed a split seems
to exist in the Indian Com
munist Party over the China
policy.
Unfortunately, up till now,
midas Com munist Party
could not brand the Chinese
as aggressors. According to
the Communist Party of In
dia this misunderstanding be-
tween India and China is the
product of an imperialistic re-
gime which India has under
gone during the past. 1t fails
to agree with the historical
conclusion that a strong
China has always been an
expansionist China. The Chi
nese Communists feel that by
charging India with agrees
sion they can offset Red
China's internal failures in
agriculture and industry and
thus could successfully divert
the attention of the masses
from the local problems. Also
the Chinese clamor for a seat
in the United Nations, and by
attacking India they hope to
invite the U. Ms urgent at
tention to Red China's legit-
innate need for immediate
U. N. membership. The third
probable reason for the I'M
friendly act of China towards
India is the defiance Of Rus
sian leadership or political
domination or even to assert
the Chinese leadership Of
world communism.

Fairfax 'Semuntics'

The running commentary
carried in the press during
the past few months regard
ing deficiencies in the con-
struction of Fairfax County
schools has provided in
teresting reading, and it has
been amusing, but as for
facts, we are besieged with
semantics.
1t is regrettable that pub
lie servants of Fairfax
County are just now telling
the public about these con-
struction defects while at the
same time, reporting they
were corrected as a matter
of course in some instances
more than a year before pub
lie attention was focused on
them" Concurrently, we find
these same public servants
serving as apologists for the
contractors by d scribing
such faulty construction as
being "unintentional" or an
oversight" In another in
stance, deficiencies were de-
scribed as occurring during
a previous year of expedited
construction of vera !
schools. This again is a play
upon semantics serving as
intellectual deception. ANY,
one driving along Route 236
this past summer, witnessing
the taxpayers money being
eaten up by overtime might
and Saturday. work on the
Woodson High School, will
probably suspect this as
more lack of planning and
foresight.
Many taxpayers would be
most grateful for an expla-
nation as to how a 5-year
bond provided by a contrac-
tor can increase the thick
ness of a concrete floor from
two inches to four inches as
required in the specifica-
tionS.
Generally speaking, where
there is smoke, there is fire,

providing this fiasco, is max
ing its contribution toward
assisting the present County

THE POLITICAL MILL
Till He'll Freezes Over
By GOULD LINCOLN

"Till He'll Freezes Over"
may go down in American
history along with II Haven't
Begun to Fight" and Don't
Give Up the Ship" and "Un-
conditional Surrender" When
Adlai Stevenson United
States Ambassador to the
United Nations, threw the
phrase in the teeth of Rus
sia's Ambassador Valerian A.
Zorin in their conformation
at Thursdays meeting of the
United Nations Security
Council over the nuclear arms
buildup in Cuba, the chips
were down. Mr.. Stevenson
challenged the Russian to say
whether missile bases, as
charged by the United States,
had been installed in Cuba,
Mr.. Stevenson did not have
to wait until He'll freezes
over" for his answer. Mr..
Zorin's refusal to answer left
no doubt in anyone's mind,
here or abroad, that the
charge was correct.
Bases Must Go
Since it is correct, Presi-
dent Kennedy and the Unit
ed States will not give up
the naval blockade to prevent
more shipment of offensive
arms by the SovietS into
Cuba. Nor will they give up
their demand that the mis-
sile bases and missiles in
Cuba be destroyed or re-
turned to Russia. No pleas
for diplomatic discussions to
settle the crisis over Cuba
could or should be permitted
to halt the naval blockade.
And if the talks are under
taken, the American demand
for the elimination of the
nuclear missile bases and
their weapons must be a sine
qua non in any agreement.
The Russian Communist gov
eminent, by it's attempt to
secretly build up a nuclear
base 80 miles off the shores
of this country with missiles
aimed directly at our cities,
has brought about the pres
ent situation. 1t now finds
itself confronted by United
States military forces, ready
to act.
Soviet Russia can no long
er squirm away. 1t cannot
again leave to its satellites
the task of advancing the
Communist cause, while re-
manning itself off the firing
line. 1t must, in fact, decide
whether it wishes to risk an
about war with the United
States. The United States for
years has exhibited great pa
tience. This country wants
peace. But it is not content
to have a Soviet buildup of
nuclear weapons in Russia's
newest satellite, Cuba. ready
to attack at any moment.
The President has made a
clear statement that this
buildup will not be permit
ted to continue. and that the
missile bases already in Cuba
must go. Those are two
points on which there will be
no retreat. If the Russians
