There's another consideration-se-

port large volume Of highly classified
documents from one remote building to

expressed confidence in the F'BI and its

FBI in q Pinch

Behind the FBIs headline-making
war on crime is another story its $3.50
Washington employees share every day.
1t simply is this: How can an elite
organization function with maximum
efficiency with its componentS scattered
through six widely separated buildings?
This essentially is the point raised
by Senator Hayden of Arizona, with the
strong support of Senator Magnuson
of Washington, in calling for new FBI
building on Pennsylvania avenue. They
believe a start should be made-right
now-with an appropriation of $12 mil
lion for purchase of land and archi-
tectural and engineering plans.
The plans look toward a building
to be erected across from the Justice
Building, where part of the Washington
FBI now is housed. How much Of it is
housed there? Only 80 per cent-and
that should surprise almost everyone.
The rest of this city'S FBI installations

Two Lost Little Girls

Two lost little girlS-lost while the
pendulum inexorably swings-lost while
the hours pile up while anxiety changes
to desperation. Lost, and all but given up
for dead. The long, patient, unrewarding
hours Of search, reaching "a E. SO e.
nearly 48. The anxious faces Of their
parents, Steeling themselves against the
moment Of reckoning with the worst.
This is the Washington metropolis
for two days. A metropolis, like all
others, rushing from home to work to
home. Like all big cities, numbed by the
rush of events, the crushing traffic, the
roar Of the jets, the movement into
space, the population explosion, the hun
dred and one other distractions Of the
age in which we live.
Two lost little girls in mass of
two million souls with their millions OF
diverse, often selfish interests. =. Only
two little girls? Can it mean so much
that the police and Marines and soldiers
and FBI search and search and search?
Can it really mean so much, in all the
tragedies and failures and sadness
around us, that they are found in the
least likely place? And are safe?
See the faces light up with the news!
Hear the shouts, Why that's just great!
You mean they are alive? For moment,
a fleeting moment, there's an awarenesS
of something more stimulating than any
space shot we will ever make. 1t is an
awarenesS that human hearts, in this
Atomic Age, still beat with compassion,
that a whole community can be bound
together-ever so briefly, perhaps-by
a single prayerful purpose. -. When two

Priority Item

Although funds were not sought
this year for the new D. C. Downtown
Library, leaders in both the House and
Senate expressed strong interest in the
need during recent hearings on the
city budget. Commenting on the ode
plorable" inadequacies of the present
Central Library, Representative hatcher
of Kentucky noted that the establish
ment of a replacement is so universally
recognized that its construction is only
matter of time. Accordingly, he urged
the Commissioners to place the project
high on the priority list" of new public
construction.
He was quite right. The present
library is disgrace to the Nations
Capital and a replacement, at best,
will require several years time. Forum
ately, three or four suitable sites have
been located downtown, where the IL
brary not only would serve the COM
munity far better, but would become
distinct asset in the effort to revitalize
the central shopping area. While the
library necessarily will have to be put
behind some other, more urgent, munic-
ipal needs, it nevertheless should re-
ceive consideration by the Commits
sionerS, at least in the provision of funds
for site, as part Of the budget re-
quests now being drafted for submission
to Congress next year.

Safety in the Air

Both the aviation industry and air
riding public should view with SatiSfac-
tion the Federal Aviation Agency'S plans
for undermining the intricate air traffic
control system. Acting in the interest
of public safety as the skies continue
to fill with more and faster planes, the
FAA has evolved far-Sighted program
geared to new electronic controls.
FAA has nothing but highest praise
for the traffic controllers who have done
a remarkable job Of keeping the planes
flying. But present equipment, such
as radar, has not been infallible in pre-
venting mid-air collisions. And this is
one of the principal reasons the White
House asked for Project Beacon.
The ideas of Project BeaconS de-
sign team now are ready for try outs.
One feature is a device known as the
beacon transporter which, built into
an airplane, will give the traffic con-
troller the planes exact altitude posi-
ton. On today's radar screens, it is i'm
possible to accurately read planes
height.
Moving toward a day when planes
may take off, fly and land by automa-
ton, the Project Beacon plan includes
use of computerS to absorb much of
the strain of the air traffic man. These
computers are scheduled for testing by
next summer.
Under present plans, planes moving
through heavy-traffic space would be
required to have the altitude reporting
beaconS by July, 1865. In the carefully
laid-out FAA report, these are only
the most revolutionary of many changes
meant to be installed within the next
five years. FAA's Albert Brown, who
headed the design team, believes the
system will be satisfactory for at least
Is years.
With as many as 10000 planes now
in the air at one time, the estimated
cost of about SIS million appears to be
a small price to pay for the lives and
property that should be saved.

Changing D. c.

Joseph B. Matre views the
current population trend and
the prospect of suffrage in
the District as ominouS.
There may be cause for
alarm, but I do not agree
that a Federally restricted
population policy is the ap-
propriate solution.
First. it should be noted
that it was not the arrival
of non-whites but the flight Of
non-blacks that has created
the present racial dispropor-
ton in our Capital. This
flight was a matter of free,
if somewhat frantic, choice.
Secondly. 1 hold that what
is needed is removal Of some
existing restrictions: Restric-
ton of apprentice opportun-
tiles, of job opportunities, Of
housing opportunities. not
merely in the District proper
but-equally importantly-in
the Metropolitan area.
The total consequence
would. I believe, produce the
kind of Capital city that Mr..
Matre and all of us would
prefer to live in.

In spite Of so much that so
many have done to talk the
country into a recession. the
enormous basic strength Of
the American economy is be-
ing proved all over again.
The best single proof Is
that President Kennedy's de-
cision not to seek a tax cut,
this year at least, has been
followed by a general i'm
provement, rather than the
reverse, in the business out
look. Even the stock market
has perked up a bit.
True enough, the Presi-
dents disinclination to ask
Congress for such a reduction
was perhaps based as much
on political as on economic
factors. Specifically, he was
aware that the most power
full men on Capitol Hill were
not at any rate prepared to
go along with any general
reduction.
Didn't Push Panic Button
Still, whatever the reasons,
the essential fact remains
that he refused, as President
Eisenhower refused in 1853
SO, to push any panic button.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that this self-restraint
will turn out to have been as
wise as it was in Mr.. Eisen-
hower's time.
Indeed, this columnist risks
a prediction that it is fifty
fifty whether there will be
any general tax cut next
year, either, and doubts,
moreover, that one will be
needed, anyhow.
For it now develops that
at the very height of this
years gloom and doom talk
which was last month-the
American nomy was
Stoutly unaware of how bad
off, according to the DOOM

Lincoln Quotes

Reverting to President
Kennedy's famous speech at
Yale University. in which he
discussed myths" legends"
and "unsophisticated" eco
nomic ideas in general, I re-
Gently ran across a brief
statement Of the economic
theories Of Abraham Lincoln,
who, I think it will be ad-
mitted, did pretty well during
his administration-probably
because he had no Harvard
professors around him to lead
him astray.
Concerning economics, he
had this to say:
You cannot bring prosper
ity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the
strong. You cannot help the
wage Garner by pulling down
the wage payer. You cannot
further the brotherhood Of
man by encouraging class
hatred. You cannot help the
poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot establish sound
security on borrowed money.
You cannot keep out Of
trouble by spending more
than you earn. You cannot
build character and courage
by taking away mans initi-
ative and independence. You
cannot help men permanent
ly by doing for them what
they could and should do for
themselves"

since I have seen so much
commonsense packed into one

The Threat From Space

A reaSSuring note was sounded at
the Pentagon after last weeks tandem
space flight by two Soviet coSmonautS.
A spokesman" said the feat appeared
to have no immediate" military sig
nificance. At press conference yeSter-
day, Secretary Mcnamara spoke In
somewhat different key Russia, he said,
is substantially ahead" Of the United
States in some phases Of military space
development, but we are striving to
overcome their lead.
This followed a speech on Monday
by Senator Cannon of Nevada. Senator
Cannon is Democrat, and there were
no partisan aspects to his remarks. AS
a general in the Air Force Reserve, it
may be supposed that he reflects the
point of view of that service. But he is
also a member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee and the Aeronau-
tical and Space Sciences Committee.
Thus, as far as information available
to the Senate is concerned, he is in a
position to know what he is talking
about
We think this was very significant
speech and that it dealt with a very
real threat to the future security of the
United States.
Recalling President Kennedy'S cam
paign remark that "if the Russians con-
troll space, they can control the earth,"
Senator Cannon made clear his belief
that they are we'll on their way toward
oI,
of his argument, as we understand 1t,
comes down to this: In terms Of military,
as distinguished from purely scientific,
application Of space technology, the
Russians are way out in front. And at
our respective rates" of advance 1t will
be very difficult to overtake them.
The Vostok III and w perform
ance indicates that nuclear attack
on the United States from space is
within the present capability Of the
Soviet Union. We have no known de-
fenSe at this time against such an
attack.
But, 1t is asked, why worry about
an attack from space when nuclear
weapons can be fired with perhaps
greater accuracy from earth? Why worry
when we are supposed to have such a
preponderance of power that we can
absorb a surprise attack and hit back
with ruinouS force? The answer is that
our strike-back capability is designed
to hit Soviet missile launching sites,
whose locations presumably are known,
and similar land targets. But we have
no means now Of knocking down an
orbiting space vehicle from which our
country could be attacked. The Russians,
however, are believed to have the ca
pability of making such an attack on
us, and, quite probably, can or soon will
be able to intercept and destroy our
reconnaissance satellites.
Even so, our strike-back capability
remains But the real question is whether
we will continue to have the superiority
In power which is essential to successful
deterrent. If we lose that superiority
the day of anguished decision could
come-the day when we might have to
choose between capitulation and ami
hilation.
This is the substance Of the view
expressed by Senator Cannon and other
respected Senators. They do not want
to see the military threat from space
downgraded and neglected while we race
to beat the Russians to the moon. Hope
fully, we take Mr. McNamaras latest
comment to mean that their voices are
being heard in the Pentagon.
