Needless Restriction

Fortunately the restrictive" con-
dition which the Senate Appropriations
Committee has imposed on construction
Of the Three Sisters Bridge has very
little significance. It is confusing as
well as unnecessary, however, and we
think 1t should be stricken by the
House and Senate conferees on the Dis
trict budget.
For while, in the deliberations of
the committee, 1t appeared that the
bridge project not only would be de-
layed until the submission of a report
by the National Capital Transportation
Agency in November, but that there
after affirmative action by the House
and Senate Appropriations Committees
would be required before any construc-
ton money could be spent. Thanks to
the efforts Of Senator Byrd of West
Virginia, this indefinite freeze was re-
jected. Instead, the compromise" Ian
guage finally agreed upon would allow
the Commissioners to proceed with the
project after November /, unless either
Appropriations Committee takes affirm
ative action before next March to halt
them.
Having opened the door this far,
however, what is the practical value of
the language which remains? Obvi-
ously the committee is reserving a right
to halt the project at any time prior to
March /. But is there need for this
authority to be spelled out in legisla-
tive report? No Commissioner in his
right mind would proceed to spend
money If an Appropriations Committee,
even on an informal basis, told him
to stop. And the fact is, as Engineer
Commissioner Clarke has emphasized,
that the bridge construction could not
possibly begin before March /. In the
unlikely event that some persuasive
argument against the bridge should
turn up within the next few months,
Congress would have ample time to
step in-with only a modest amount of
money having been spent in the mean
time on the bridge design.
The point, however, is that the
Commissioners are anxious to begin
this design work as soon as possible.
General Clarke takes the position that
the action of the Senate committee
leaves the District legally free to issue
design contracts in November. As the
committee language now stands, how
ever, there is at least room for argu-
ment as to whether the Commissioners
should spend even these limited design
funds on the bridge before March 1.
This confusion can best be cleared up
by eliminating its source.

Life ~ in Cuba

1t is hardly necessary, though
tempting, to editorialize on a recent
news story from Cuba. It is, in way,
a two-part story. One part was that
the Castro government had decreed
that there would be no wage increases
and no shifting of workers from one
job to another without express govern
mental permission. In addition, abb
senteeism from work and all vacations
must receive sanction from some all
high authority. The second part was
the establishment of a Committee on
Extracurricular Activities to orient the
thinking of children outside their class
rooms. No doubt this combination of
superior guidance will assure that work.

Shopping in Bond Market

The Treasury Department has come
up with an imaginative, though simple,
idea for an experiment in marketing
long-term United States Government
bonds. 1t is planning within the next
few months to make a $250-million issue
available for competitive bidding by un-
derwriters-a practice long employed by
private corporations and even by State
and local government bodies.
Under this system, the Treasury will
award the bonds to the underwriting
syndicate offering the highest bid Tin
effect, the lowest interest cost to the
Treasury for bonds bearing a given
coupon and maturity value. The under
writer's, in turn, will re-market them to
other investment sources at prices that
cover their cost and a reasonable margin
OF profit. Long-term borrowing at a
rate fixed by the borrower requires both
good judgment and good luck, a COM
oination that does not always prevail
despite the best efforts of Treasury esti-
mators. A recent offering, for example.
met disappointing response, presum-
ably because investors considered the
yield unattractive.
Under the proposed plan, the astute-
ness OF the underwriters and their sense
OF what the market will take will be
major factors in establishing the terms.
The fact that they will be in competition
should help to bring a price satisfactory
to the Treasury. The plan at least is
worth a trial.

Tiqht BUDGET

City officials are unable to recall
the last time the Senate approved a
District Of Columbia budget smaller
than that that passed by the House. 1t
is tribute to the assiduousness of It's
District Appropriations subcommittee,
however, that the Senate this year not
only has trimmed the House version by
$805,700, but in the process has pro-
duced far superior budget.
A major part of the reduction is
reflected in direct savings in welfare
payments, anticipated as result Of the
long-overdue cleanup Of the public
relief program. Even so, substantial
portion Of these savings is being
ploughed back to pay for expanded
social services and for great many
more social workers, Investigators and
key administrative personnel. No doubt
further expansion in public assistance
will be considered in the future. The
emphasis Of this budget, however, in
first cleaning up the distressing lack
OF direction and responsibility within
the Welfare Department, is clearly es-

should be able to finance from foresee-
able revenues.

for next year are not as bright AS
the Commissioners have warned
throughout this session, the continuing
program of capital improvements will
be reduced to a crawl unless additional
sources Of revenue are found quickly.
Despite their pleas, however, the Dis
trict request for an additional $75-mil-
lion loan authority for the public works
program seems to have settled on dead
center. This legislation should be acted
upon before adjournment.

Mississippi Rights and Wronas

A cardinal concept of our
democracy is that Govern
ment derives its just powers
from the consent Of the gov
erned. Yet In the South to-
day we see the Federal Ad-
rl1inistration and the Federal
judiciary riding roughshod
over the win Of the people.
The Federal Department of
Justice is engaged in a ruth
less endeavor to force a Ne
gro student into the Univer-
sity of Mississippi. The Gov
ernor Of the State, with the
backing of the overwhelming
majority of the citizens, is
equally determined to keep
the Negro out. It is an un-
equal battle, for in one way
or another the power Of the
Federal authorities will pre-
vail, just as 1t did In the
black days Of "reconstruc-
ton"

here is whether there is left

Hawk to Israel

It is disturbing that the military
balance in the Middle East apparently
has changed in a way that has per-
suaded our Government to sell the Hawk
"a short-range ground-to-air defen-
siye missile-to Israel. American policy,
for the past several years, has been to
refuse to supply significant quantities
of any kind of weapons to any country
in that highly sensitive part Of the
world. But now this has been changed,
and the result may well be an intensi-
fication of Arab-ISraeli tensions.
There are arguments, of course,
that support the Hawk deal. After all,
the Soviet Union in recent months has
been furnishing Israel's bitterly hostile
reighbors particularly Iraq and the
United Arab Republic-with missiles and
military aircraft, including Jet bombers,
on an increasingly menacing scale. Ac-
cordingly, looked at in that light, our
readiness to equip the Ben-Gurion gov
ernment with Hawks designed pri-
nnarily to cope with attacking planes
can be defended as a justifiable counter
measure to the armorer's role being
played by the Kremlin. With that said,
however, the fact remains that 1t would
have been better If our country had
been able to adhere to It's former policy
Of holding itself aloof from the arms
supply business in the Middle East.
The regrettable thing is that we
could not have continued to leave 1t
to such countries as France to supply
Israel with its needs in the field of
weapons. Our change of policy in that
respect is likely to step up the Arab
Israeli arms race, and Cairo's propa-
ganda machine can be counted upon to
make the most of the idea-whether
warranted or not-that the whole thing
Is tied in with our forthcoming congress
sional elections and a desire by the
Kennedy administration to win the
important New York Jewish vote.
This may be a gross distortion of
the realities behind the Hawk sale to
the ISraeliS, but it nevertheless may
impress lot of people in the Middle
East, and in that sense it can hurt us
and the cause Of peace.

AS one Of the New People
In the Southwest" quoted in
your September % article. I
would like to correct the
rather negative impression
which this article has Great
ed. Many Of the facts Of our
neighborhood mentioned are
all too true, but the funda-
mental mistake has been
made OF taking them out of
their context. I feel that my
own remarks quoted out of
context have painted a very
false picture Of how I see our
community.
It Is quite true that there

are two widely divergent
groups educationally and &C.
onomically in the Southwest.
1t, is also quite true that
many people who rent in
high rises" desire anonymi-
ty and do not have much
community spirit, and that
most Of the housing in the
Southwest Is of this charac-
ter. Yet these factors are bal
anced by others more posi-
tive, which though smaller,
may well end by tipping the
balance.
Within the last year and a
half I have found a group Of
so or so residents of the
Southwest who are commu-
nity-minded enough to want
to start church. Right from
the beginning our congrega-
tion has included persons
who make up a true cross
section of the entire COM
munity. Many Of them have
worked hard during our brief
existence to reach out to 9TH
ers in the neighborhood, and
with an amazing degree of
success. This reaching g-out
has been to others as per-
sons, with no thought Of the
more fortunate" helping the
"less fortunate"
But the really amazing
thing about our community
which the article overlooked
is the atmosphere. Those
tensions and pressures be-
tween races and classes and
groups which mark so much
Of urban life are almost nom
existent. Maybe it has to do
with the excellent planning
of providing town houses
with open green spaces where
children can play and people
can meet one another.
I passionately believe in
the future of the Southwest
as a community, and have
cast my lot here. Given such
factors as the article mem
tions, this is never going to
be easy. 1t is a tremendous
challenge. But I believe that
there are people here who
have accepted that challenge.
/ hope this article will have
the effect of bringing togeth-
er these individuals into a
close working relationship to
diSprove some of the conclu-
sions which have been
drawn.
