.BeIoted Cry for Help

There is nothing surprising about
the fact that the Districts new stadium
Is running up substantial deficit as 1t
counts initial earnings for the first
seven months Of operation. It has been
obvious from the outset that the big
arena would not be able to pay its own
way for some time to come. What is
surprising, however, is that the Armory
Board, which administers the stadium,
waited until almost the last minute to
call on the Commissioners to bail it out
The explanation given the Commits
sionerS for the appeal for financial aid
in the sum Of $415, 300 was that the cost
OF completing the stadium had been
Unexpectedly high, because of overtime
work necessary to place the structure
and grounds in condition for the open
ing ball game. The Commissioners had
been advised earlier that there would
be enough left from the $19.8-million
bond issue to take up initial operating
losses during the first year. Apparently
commissioner Tobriner, who also is a
member of the Armory Board, was as
surprised as his fellow Commissioners at
! the belated discovery that an immediate
District subsidy would be needed to meet
j an interest payment on the bond issue,
, due tomorrow.
With no time for request to Con-
gresS for an appropriation to cover the
payment, the Commissioners only re-
course is to borrow the money from the
Treasury and seek an appropriation
, later. This means added cost to Dis
trict taxpayers, for interest must be
paid on the loan. All of this seems
to be strange way of doing business.

Soviet FEp-FIop.

Although in complete disagreement
on virtually everything else at the IT.
nation Disarmament Conference in Ge-
rieva, our country and the Soviet Union
last week reached mutually pro-
claimed meeting of minds in drafting
Declaration Against War Propaganda"
Some sources Immediately described the
accord as an encouraging development
Of major" significance, but now, all of
a sudden, 1t has turned out to be worse
than worthless.
This is so because the men of the
Kremlin, within matter of only few
days after having committed themselves
to the agreement, have thoroughly re-
neged on it, Thus the word they gave
just last week, the promise they made,
is broken today and exposed as having
been little more than a kind of crude
international hoax. Why such an abrupt
about-face? And why, in announcing it,
has the chief Soviet delegate at Geneva
launched vituperative attack on the
United States and the West in general?
One can merely speculate as to the an
SwerS, but as good guess as any, per-
haps, Is that the whole bleak business
may mean that Nikita Khrushchev and
his co-conSpiratorS have suddenly de-
cided to undertake some tenSion-in-
creaSing new moves as regards such
issues as the Berlin impaSSe and the
crisis in LaoS-moveS that would not
square with the Declaration Against
War Propaganda"
In any case, it is interesting to note
that the Soviet Union, when it first
agreed to that declaration, joined the
United States before the world in doing
the following, among other things: %
Decrying "all forms of propaganda -.
likely to provoke or encourage" bellig-
erent acts; (2) condemning statements
asserting that war is necessary or in
evitable;" (3) affirming that armed
conflict in the nuclear age "can no
longer serve as method Of settling
international disputes" and a. urging
nations everywhere "to promote by
every means at their disposal the wild
est possible circulation of news, ideas
and opinions conducive to the strength
ening of peace and friendship among
peoples" These sentiments, Of course,
can have little real meaning as long as
Moscow and Peiping maintain closed
societies and foster subversion and ag-
gression around the world. Still, in sub
scribing formally to them at Geneva
last week, the Kremlin seemed at least
to be moving in the right direction.
So it is particularly depressing now,
so soon after they had agreed upon the
declaration, to see the Russians do a
flip-flop and repudiate the principles
involved. The principles, in effect, are
for virtue and against sin, for peace
and against war, but the Soviet leaders
apparently are totally disinclined to join
us even in that-a mere statement Of
good Intentions.

THIIion-DoIIor Country

1t was approximately 70 years ago
that a Secretary of Treasury, Charles
Foster, in the Republican adminiStra-
ton Of President Benjamin Harrison,
asked the rhetorical question, We'll,
isn't this billion-dollar country?" Mr.
Foster was goaded into his query by the
taunts Of opposition Democrats about
the spending and debt policies Of the
Harrison administration, with concur
renee of the 51st Congress. Treasury
Department figures show that the gross
public debt at the time was in fact
slightly more than 81 billion, or about
.$17.80 per capita.
Times have changed, and a meas
ure of how much they have changed
has been offered by Chairman Byrd of
the Senate Finance Committee in what
he calls the first of a series of state
mentS on the financial condition Of the
United States Government. In brief, the
Virginia Democrat does not consider the
condition good and it is with no note
of elation that he estimates the cur
rent firm obligations and commitments
Of the Government at $1.24 trillion.
Even this trillion-pluS is not the whole
statistical story, and Mr.. Byrd empha-
sizes that his accounting carries only to
the end of fiscal 1868 with added COM
mitmentS for the future that are "be-
yond calculation"
In this future category, although he
refers to the dollar figures as impossible
to calculate, Mr.. Byrd cites commit
mentS that are aSSured-Such as in
tereSt on the Federal debt, pensions,
grants to States, foreign aid and public
works. He recalls, too, that there have
been some 200 actions and proposals
involving new and increased Federal
obligation Of public money and credit"
since the present administration took
office in January, 1861. On current di-
rect debt only, the Senator submits an
interesting tabulation adding up to an
other trillion-doll figure-$1 ,058.5 bill
lion, to be exact. Included, as Of last
December 81, are the following in bill
lions: Federal, $296.5; State and local,
SIS; private, $307, and corporate, $3.50.
On per capita basis, the public debt
works out to about 81 $780,
Perhaps the temper of the times is
such that Mr.. Byrd's staggering figures
will stir little reaction, private or gov
ernmental. Or perhaps they will prompt
a question similar to Mr.. Fosters, "isn't
this trillion-dollar country?" The fig
ures, in fact, indicate that it is, but there
may be great merit In the Senator's
determination to place his opinions and
statistics before the public and to rec
ommend study in depth by the Senate
Finance Committee as soon as time will
allow.

Withholding Tax

A copy of David Lawrence's
column of May 6 concerning
the withholding plan on
interest has just been for
warded to me. I compliment
your paper on the fine pre-
sentation of this issue.
The withholding plan on
interest is justified by the
Government on the theory
that it is the same plan which
is now in effect concerning
wages. This is not true since
the receipt Of wages Is on
the basis Of receiving a
definite sum annually which
would be taxable. No such
consideration is given in the
proposed plan for withhold
ing from savings account
interest and dividends.
I recently assisted an
elderly gentleman with the
preparation Of his 1861 in
come tax return. His income
is approximately $4,000 per
year. consisting principally of
dividends and interest. He is
on the border line of paying
or not paying a tax and could
not file a certificate stating
that no tax is due. In his
case, the Government will be
seizing approximately $500 to
$700 Of his money to which
it will not be entitled. He is
80 years Of age and needs his
entire income for his main
tenance.
The plan Is a very unfair
one.

For the Record

Several news articles Of re-
cent date have enormously
identified me as current
chairman Of the Arlington
Republican County Commit
tee. On May 3, 1862, the
Arlington Republican Mass
Meeting elected Harold j.
Casio as my successor county
chairman in Arlington and
pledged its 81 10th district
convention votes to me for
10th district chairman.
Mr.. Casio served as treas
urer and finance chairman
of Arlington Republicans the
past two years. He was also
a member of the PROD Com
mittee. He compiled q dis
tinguished record Of service
to the party in these posi-
tions. I am very pleased that
Arlington Republicans have
chosen him to be my success
sor. His election insures
strong efforts for continued
growth of the Republican
Party.

'On His Shoulders .

Whether or not the new chief Judge
OF the District Juvenile Court will be
subject to Senate confirmation is a legal
question yet to be resolved by the SEN
ate and the White House.
We hope, however, that this issue
Is not the major reason for the long
delay in appointing the two additional
Juvenile Court judges authorized by
Congress more than three months ago.
1t would be more consoling to the COM
munity if the delay were occasioned by
the intensity of search to find the
best possible judges, and more particu-
larly, the best possible chief Judge. That
may be the case.
For apart from the legal qualifica-
tions stipulated by Congress, the chief
Judge Of an enlarged Juvenile Court
must possess a combination of abilities
not readily found. He must be an able
administrator, capable of eliminating
the steadily increasing backlog of cases
(now exceeding 1900 in number), and
thereafter keeping the docket current.
He must establish harmonious working
relationships with police, welfare and
school officials, and no less so with the
lprivate agencies at work to combat ju-
,venile delinquency. His policies must
reflect firmneSS as we'll as understand
ing, and he must be constantly aware
of the courts role as protector of the
community as we'll as its role as an
institution for the rehabilitation of way
ward young people
Is 1t Is discouraging statistic that
SO per cent of the juveniles appearing
before the court during the first quar-
ter OF this year were repeaters. For this
IS clear evidence Of the past inadequacy
.of the court. Much of this failure, of
course, may reflect the impossible bur-
!den borne for too long by single Judge
But there also has been evidence of de-
fleets in court procedures as well as
'inadequacy in the provisions Of the 1888
Juvenile Court law which require care
ful re-evaluation by whoever is desig-
mated as the new chief judge.
!. Virtually every segment of the
Washington community joined forces to
convince Congress of the necessity to
expand the court. The urgency of the
need to implement this legislation
grows from day to day. Even more i'm
lportant, however, is the selection of a
,fully qualified chief Judge, on whose
shoulders will rest the primary burden
,of accomplishing restoration of commu-
nifty confidence in the Juvenile Court.

begun to supply a corrective
to theories that have been
developed largely from expe-
rience with troubled children
and adults"
With proper treatment now
available the schizophrenia,
or dementia praecox, victim
has three chances out of five
of leading a useful life, es-
sentially unconfined, in the
average community. Hitherto
such cases have been consid-
cred nearly hopeless, calling
for lifelong confinement in
an institution. The disease is
probably the most serious of
all the "insanities."
This Is one of the conclu-
sions of the Joint Commits
sion on Mental Illness.
The persistent attitude
that Schizophrenia is a hope
less, incurable disease, con-
cludes the report, is baseless.
The idea that the patient is
totally insane, it continues,
sis likewise without founda-
ton. Medical psychology has
consistently observed and
generally accepts the fact
that functional psychosis in
wolves only certain compo-
nents of the personality. The
patient is sick in some ways
and healthy in others.
Effective Treatment Lags
But effective treatment
Of the mentally Ill has Jagged.
They are singularly lacking
in appeal. They tend to dis
turb or offend other people
and people generally treat
them as disturbers and Of
tenders as if they were re-
sponsible for their behavior"
Lately to psychotherapy
and social therapy, it is
stressed, have been added the
tranquilizing drugs, or moral
treatment in pill form"
The persistent preoccupa-
ton with Cures" says the
report, presents q blind alley.
"The present state Of our
scientific knowledge" 1t con-
cludes, "does not permit psy-
chiatry as yet to formulate
exact tests Of cure. But the
outlook for the schizophrenic,
the main source of long-term
accumulation of patients in
State hospitals, Is not poor
but good under optimum
treatment conditions.
He has a 1-in-5 chance of
spontaneous recovery with
out systematic treatment.
With proper treatment he
has at least q Sims and
perhaps as much as a Aims
chance Of improving suffi-
GENTLY to lead o useful life

Literocy Test

Contrary to the belief of a
letter writer, sixth graders do
receive drivers permits. Not
twelve-year-olds, Of course.
but the same sixth-graders
who would have been allowed
to vote had the literacy test
bill become law. And is the
right to drive properly anal
ogous to the constitutional
right to vote?
The writer errs in his as
sumption that formal educa-
ton is q true measure of the
reasoning power necessary
for intelligent voting and
that the lack of such educa-
ton automatically denotes
stupidity.

Philippine Claims

Please permit me to ex-
press my strong disagree
ment with the position taken
by the Hon. Robert r. Barry,
NC, New York, in the mat
ter of the Philippine war
damage claims as published
in The Star on May %.
The gentleman from New
York has made a cogent and
lucid defense of his position
except on the salient point
of the moral obligation of
the United States to pay its
just bills. This he seems to.
ignore, except for the self
serving comment that the
1946 authorization act did
not commit this country to
honor its obligations, or
rather, to honor them in full.
This omission of the 1916
act cannot and should not
now be used as an excuse to
avoid payment of our obli-
cations to many thousands
of our Filipino friends who
sustained personal damages
in our Joint efforts against
a common danger, these
damages having already been
set forth in specific amounts
and adjudicated as reason
able and just. The fact that
800 such claims are by cor
porate entities, or are held
in substantial amount by in
dividuals, seems to the writ
er to be a most speciouS
reason to dishonor this Ma
ton in the eyes of over 80, 1000
Filipinos who hold valid
claims in smaller amounts,
as we'll as in the eyes of the
entire Philippine nation.
The writer is unable to be-
lieve that the overwhelming
majority of our citizens are
as thoughtless or as migrate
full to the Philippine people
as the recent irresponsible
action of the House would
make us appear to be.
