 The threezpoWer test ban sub- committee of the 17=nation dis armament conference held it's last meeting before the conference goes into Christmas recess.
 The subcommittee meeting was the 50th since the disarmament conference opened March II. IL covered the same ground as most recent meetings on the deadlocked talks.
 The three powers were under instructions from the JUN. General Assembly to negotiate a controlled test ban before the end of the year. They admitted failure in their report to the General As sembly last week, but continued their talks here.
 Soviet deleeate Semvon Tsarap- kin told the last three-power meeting that all the nuclear powers should stop testing by Jan. 1, regardless of whether we can reach agreement by that date or not
 Western officials said they re- garded this as another hint that Russia is planning to declare one-sided test suspension before the end of the year
 The Western powers refuse to accept ban on underground tests unless the Russians allow certain number of on-site inspections per year to prevent cheating. The Rus slans have consistently rejected any on site inspection, but have proposed the erection of three black boxes in the Soviet Union to help keep check of suspicious earth tremors.
 The disarmament conference re- sumes on Jan. 15. At the closing meeting of the test ban subcom- mittee the United States called on the Soviet Union to take part in a detailed scientific review of the black box proposal.

Loose Language

Among all the causes" that are
debated valiantly and continuously on
Capitol Hill, few have been with us
longer that that Of closing so-called
loopholes In the Federal tax laws. There
are loopholes, no doubt, but Tax Foun-
dation, Inc, which is about as good an
authority as the next one on tax law,
has directed attention in one Of its
recent publications to an important
, qualification.
It's point, In brief, is that many, II
not most, of the provisions casually
labelled as loopholes were written that
way purpoSely and in an exercise Of
Congress best judgment. "They did not
sneak into law" the Foundation says.
These provisions .. were developed
by Congress during some so years Of
income tax history in never-ending
attempt to make heavy tax work as
equitably as possible" It is, in fact, re-
Election on congressional integrity or
good sense to charge that every pro-
vision giving measure Of tax relief in
some special category was slipped into
law unwittingly or as an unwarranted
concession.
Actually, in changing times and
circumstances there are good reasons
for changing tax laws. The last real
effort at overall tax reform was the
1854 revision Of the Internal Revenue
Code-and some unintended loopholeS,
as well as some justifiable and deliber-
ate easements, were included in that
revision. The Kennedy administration
has indicated it may propose another
thorough overhauling next year. The
idea is good one, but the distinction
between loopholes and properly con-
sidered relief provisions should not be
overlooked.

Dispersal Within D. c.

The policy decision by Congress in
1925 that new Government office build
ings in Washington should be located
within clearly defined Federal taking
areas" has contributed significantly to
the orderly development Of the Capital.
Today, however, this policy has lost
much Of its validity. Few suitable tracts
for Federal buildings are left within the
designated areas. The taking -area"
label, meanwhile, has served to discour-
age the full development Of private
property remaining In the areas. Fed
eral planners, moreover, are leaning
increasingly toward the view that fur
ther concentrations of massive office
buildings, on the order Of the Federal
Triangle, are not necessarily in the best
interests Of the city, and that future
Government buildings might better be
integrated with private development at
a variety of locations.
The Senate Public Works Commit
tee, in view Of these considerations, has
Sensibly recommended elimination OF
the statutory taking area" require
mentS. The proposed new FBI building,
which tentatively will be placed in the
private-busineSS block on the north side
Of Pennsylvania avenue between Ninth
and Tenth streets NV, would be an
early application Of the new concept.
There is no reason why the Forthcoming
plan to rejuvenate the downtown busi-
ness section Of Washington might not
also provide for additional Government
huildinCs IN locatinnS vvferA their needs
can be met and where they would add
vitality and economic health to their
surroundings.

There Is No Question

This weeks flight Of the rocket
powered Kills plane-launched from a
B-52 and piloted by the experienced Joe
Walker Of the National AeronauticS and
Space AdminiStration-waS carried out
at 3,443 miles an hour to height of
approximately 46 miles. This sets new
world record for winged aircraft, but
the chief significance of the event, as
explained by NASA, is that it constitutes
q major contribution to our country's
constantly growing store Of knowledge
about the problems of hyperSonic speeds,
extreme altitude and re-entry to the
earth'S atmosphere.
Mr.. Walker actually could have
gone much higher. Indeed, on planned
future flights, the X-15-which Incl
dentally has already attained a speed
Of over 1000 miles an hour-is expected
to reach an altitude of at least rs
miles. AS for its latest performance, Mr..
Walker, scientifically trained research
pilot who flew fighter planes in the
Second World War, has had this to say:
81 had feeling that If ran the engine
much longer was going to be in orbit.
could take orbit with no strain at all.
The success Of today's flight means
there is no question that we can put
a winged vehicle in orbit and land it
as I did"
The Kills, Of course, is not designed
for orbiting, but it is blazing the trail
for a genuine space plane equipped
with wings and capable Of returning to
earth under its own power as controlled
by the pilot-a method Of landing quite
different from that Of AStronaut John
Glenn's parachuting Mercury capsule.
AS a matter Of fact such a craft-the
Air Forces Dyna- a-Soar-now is past the
design stage and is moving toward actual
construction. The day is coming, in
short, when somebody like Joe Walker
will achieve what he has predicted, and
more than little credit for the achieve
ment will be owing to him and all the
others who have been pioneering with
the Kills.

D. c. Delegate

While 1t does not provide for full
or adequate representation, the bill in
troduced by Representative Matthias of
Maryland to give the District a non
voting delegate in the House is timely
and welcome reminder to Congress that
Washingtonians continue to suffer a
grievouS degree of national diSfran-
chiSement.
Ratification Of the constitutional
amendment permitting District resi-
dents to vote for President and Vice
President has corrected an oversight
by the Founding Fathers which denied
a fundamental right Of citizenship to
District residents for more than 100
years. The denial Of voice in the
national legislature is no less uncon-
scionable. Over the last several decades
the case for both representation in the
House and Senate and for participation
in national elections has been made
many times, as parts Of single pack
age. To grant the one right, as Congress
now has done, is to concede the justice
of the other.
Mr.. Matthias is correct, Of course,
in his view that the limited proposal
for a non-voting delegate in the House,
requiring passage Of simple law, would
encounter far less opposition than
more meaningful form Of representa-
ton requiring another constitutional
amendment. And he argues with some
persuaSiveneSS that such a delegate
would give the District voice in Con-
gress now sadly lacking, spokesman
who would have the privilege Of the
floor and the right to uphold the posi-
tions Of the District in committee de-
Aberations. In the final analysis, how
ever, votes are what count on Capitol
Hill. And in simple equity, residents
Of the District are entitled to the basic
form Of representation enjoyed by all
other citizens Of the Nation. For these
reasons, voting representation for the
District must remain the ultimate goal.
It is gratifying that the Senate
Constitutional Amendments Subcommit-
tee, headed by Senator Kefauver, will
consider the subject of District repre-
sentation at hearings next week. We
hope that the Matthias bill will stimulate
similar interest and receive earnest
study In the House. WaShingtonianS
are deeply indebted to the Maryland
Congressman for his initiative in their
behalf.

laws. The function Of law
making Is exclusively that Of
Congress.
In Q word, In today's Lam
guage, Justice Frankfurter
is not only q great constitu-
tional conservative. He Is. IN
fact, the special leader Of q
gallant minority defense Of
constitutional conservatism
which, even with his own
powerful mind in action. Is
hard pressed enough on the
high court.
For years he has been the
chief protector Of the tradi-
tional American belief IN. o
balanced government - so
much rightful power to the
President, 50 much rightful
power to Congress, so much
rightful power to the judici-
ary. He is, therefore, literally
irreplaceable.
Effect of Retirement
For If, tragically, he should
retire, q great new imbalanee
In a court already imbal-
anced toward judicial uinno-
vations would be the sure
consequence. And this would
be so even If a successor
should happen to have most,
or even all, Of Justice Frank
furter's superb equipment in
constitutional history.
The Supreme Court is, aft
er all, an institution made up
of men. It can no more af-
ford to lose a patriarch such
as this, however able and
promising his successor, than
can any other institution
made up Of men.
In the old gentleman who

ington University Hospital,
in fear neither Of life nor Of
death, there must be q lively
appreciation Of irony In all
this. Two decades ago excited
conservatives sometimes re-
garded him as the very model
Of ''radicalism."
They did not at all under
stand him then. But, most
poignantly, they do now. For
in plain and simple truth he
is the indispensable guardian
of that ordered and respof-
sible liberty which is, and
always has been, true con-
servatism. H.

Mr.. Wagner Plays 1t Cool

Insofar as political words may
be considered unequivocal and irreversi-
BILE, the statement by New York City's
Democratic Mayor Wagner that he will
not be a candidate for Governor Of the
Empire State this year appears to be
alright. In effect, Mr.. Wagner scratched
all possibilities in announcing final
and irrevocable decision" not to permit
his name to be put forward as candi-
date, not to be candidate and not to
allow himself to be drafted as candi-
date.
But accepting all this at face value
raises more questions than it answers.
First, who will the Democrats name, in
stead, as a contender against incumbent
Republican Governor Rockefeller? Sec
ond, what does Mr.. Wagner plan as a
next step in his own political career2
From both Of these queries stem vari-
ETY. of collateral questions and related
speculation about 1862 and 1864 politics
in the biggest State in the Union.
On the national stage, for example,
Governor Rockefeller still rates as one
of the top prospects for the 1854 G. o. P.
presidential nomination. Reelection to
the governorship could be long step
toward that attainment. Until recently,
Mr.. Rockefeller has been considered an
odds-on favorite for another term in
Albany, but Democratic poll-perhaps
suspect on partisan groundS-gives Mr..
Wagner a slight edge. No evidence
has yet been offered that any other
Democrat would run as strongly as the
New York Mayor, although two declared
and several undeclared possibilities are
on the party sidelines. The questions
are posed then as to whether Pres
ident Kennedy and the party's national
leadership are willing to accept less than
the strongest opposition to MIR. Rookie
feller, or whether, If they wish to, they
can change Mr.. Wagner's decision this
year.
AS for Mr.. Wagner himself, since
his reelection victory last fall he has
emerged as the States No. One Demo-
cfat, but it has not yet been proved
that he could win statewide contest
despite the party poll mentioned above.
During press conference questioning fol-
lowing issuance Of his statement on the

governorShip, Mr.. Wagner diSclsimed
any ambition to run for the United
States Senate. But it has been pointed
out that such a race in 1864, when
Republican Senator Keating's seat is
at stake, presumably would have the
benefit Of being teamed up with a
Democratic national ticket headed again
by President Kennedy. BY that time,
therefore, Mr.. Wagner may find that
his job at city hall no longer demands
the devotion which he is promising it
