Senate Passes
5000 Million
Works Bill
Sends Measure
To White House
By 45-22 Vote
BY ]. A. OTEARY
star staff writer

The Senate today passed.
45-22. the administrations 5000
million authorization bill to re-
lieve unemployment by speed
ing up public works projects
that can be started without
delay.
The bill now goes to the
President for signature, since
the Senate resisted all efforts
to amend 1t, which would have
sent it back to the House.
At the request of Senator
Kerr, Democrat Of Oklahoma,
the Senate took the unusual
step Of adopting a unanimous
consent request expressing the
sense Of the Senate that this
bill will be administered on a
basis that will be free of any
partisan favoritism.
Delay Withdrawn
The agreement is rot a part
of the bill but merely an ex-
preston of sentiment by the
Senate. After it was agreed to.
Republican Senator Miller of
Iowa withdrew an amendment
he had offered to postpone the
effective date Of the bill until
November is. which would have
been after election day.
Senate Democratic Whip
Humphrey at first protested
against the Kerr proposal, de-
claring he did not see why the
Senate should pass 3 resolu-
ton advising the President ito
be honest" But he did not In
sist on his objection.
Passage was foreshadowed
in an earlier test vote.
The test came on a motion
BY Republican Senator Cooper
OF Kentucky to correct q tech
nical error in the bill as passed
by the House. He was beaten,
$3.50.

power Of the sturdy polyphony
Of the piece.
Furthermore, the Requiem"
Is marked by perhaps the most
subtle use Of the various tints
and shades Of the orchestra Of
Brahms entire career.
In o word-a masterpiece.
Mr.. Scribner conducted with
out oStentation, carefully mold
ing his 130-voice chorus and
choosing fitting tempos. For
the most part, he succeeded in
setting forth the many beauties
Of the Requiem" with great
skill.
The chorus was especially ef-
fective, I thought, in the many
extremely lovely quiet passages.
The awe-inspiring fugato sec
tions were q different matter
as usual, the size Of the chorus
made clean contrapuntal lines
a virtual impoSsibility.
Also, as usual, the tenor
section was conspicuously weak
in both quality and number,
and the women generally out
shone the men-a normal de-
ficiency in large choral en-
sembles.

Mary Ann Stable and baritone

Johannes Brahms German
Requiem" surely one Of the
most extraordinary choral
works Of the romantic era, was
given an appropriately elegiac
and tender performance last
night in the Washington Ca
thedral by the American Uni
versity Chorale under the direc-
ton of Norman Scribner.
The German Requiem" Is
unique in that it bears not the
slightest resemblance to any
other requiem. Brahms aban-
doned the ecclesiastical frame
work entirely, choosing his
texts freely instead Of setting
the familiar phrases of the
Mass.

to capture in sound o mood Of

DAVID LAWRENCE

It's a little hard to under
stand why the United States
Is sending 5000 troops into
Thailand-nearly 5000 miles
saway-to help keep the Com
muniSts from extending into
that country the hold they
already have next door in
Laos, while nothing is being
done about rescuing Cuba,
only 80 miles away from our
shores.
President Kennedy says the
American troops were sent
into Thailand Ito put us in a
position to fulfill our obliga-
tions" under the treaty of the
Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization, often referred to
as "SEATO," and that other
member countries will send
troops, too. But If a regional
association like this can take
action 50 far away from the
United States, it may be
asked, why isn't the Organi-
zation Of American States be-
ing persuaded to send troops
into Cuba to rid the island of
the Communist dynasty that
rules there?
Surely, eliminating the
menace Of communism in
Cuba would seem to be all
important to the security Of
the United States and Of the
nations to the south Of us.
1t appears to be generally
agreed that Fidel Castro real
ly doesn't control Cuba but
that alongside him are a set
Of aides and advisers trained
in Moscow who continually
carry on hostile activities
toward other Latin-American
countries.
In the last meeting Of the
Organization Of American
States, the United States
Government had a hard time
getting acquiescence to a
plan for economic sanctions
against the Communist re-
gime In Cuba. Little has been
heard since as to what the
Washington government Is
doing to mobilize Latin
American governments be-
hind q plan to drive the
Communists out Of Cuba.
This country has q very
extensive aid program, known
as the Alliance for Progress,
which is to cost the tax
payers of the United States
many billions of dollars in
the next few years. 1t doesn't
seem sensible to be giving
money to any Latin n-Ameri-
can government which is so
short-sighted as to fail to
see the danger involved in
letting the Communists oper-
ate from Cuba as q base.
Unquestionably the Ken
nedy administration can, If
it likes, put pressure on the
Latin-American governments
to get some kind Of sanction
from the Organization Of
American States for military
steps in Cuba.
AS a matter Of fact, the
United States need not wait
for the consent Of the other
states. any more than it did
in Thailand. The Southeast
Asia treaty, for instance, un-
like the NATO pact, provides
that, when there is danger Of
aggression in the area, each
member shall be governed by

ship and, occasionally, with in
Spired eloquence.
I thought that Miss Stable
was particularly fine in her
very taxing "Ihr habit nun
Traurigkeit," while Mr.. Quinn
held up his end in the Herr,
lehre doch mich" quite well.
Unfortunately, neither solo,
tst really had a big enough voice
to soar easily over chorus and
orchestra, however, and Mr..
Quinn sometimes pushed a
little too hard for comfort in
an attempt to do so.
The men of the National
Symphony Orchestra, ably
assisted by an anonymous or
ganist, enveloped the whole
work in a luminous web of
orchestral color.
American University is to be
complimented on an excellent
performance of a work by no
means simple to project, a per-
formance quite worthy of the
magnificent choral tradition of

its own constitutional pro-
ceSses." This is but another
way Of saying that each
country shall make its own
decision.
The United States is in a
similar position as a member
of the Organization of Ameri-
can States. 1t may ask for
the cooperation Of the other
members, but it can make its
own decision to protect any
Latin-American country that
has been invaded by a foreign
power or where there has
been evidence Of subversive
activities which threaten the
political independence Of the
people.
There is abundant evidence
in connection with the Com
muniSt operations In Latin
America that the Moscow
government has infiltrated
many parts of the hemis-
phere and exercises direct
control of the government
and the national economy Of
Cuba. Hence, the right under
an existing international
agreement to take action in
Cuba is clear.
1t will be contended, Of
course, that American troops
have been landed In Thai
land with the permission Of
the government Of that
country and that the pur-
pose is to defend it alone, but
everyone realizes that across
the Laotian border is the
real source Of the trouble

American military units
which theoretically are only
advisory" to the anti-Com-
muniSt forces but which have
orders to shoot II attacked.
So there no longer Is any
doubt but that the United
States is using military force
to check Communist inspired
operations in Southeast Asia
and that other members Of
SEATO have formally recog-
nized Americas action and
may send their own troops
as well. The other members
Of SEATO, besides Thailand
and the United States, are
Australia, France, New Zea-
land, Pakistan, the Philip
pines and Great Britain.
Some Of these countries will
not send any troops.
Likewise, II there Is any
entry into Cuba by military
forces Of the United States
under the sanctions derived
from the treaty Of the Or
ganization Of American
States, it would not mean
that all member countries
would necessarily participate.
The SEATO pr ecedent,
however. gives support now
to q similar movement of
American troops into Cuba
or surrounding areas. The
purpose would be to cut off
all operations by Commu-
nist-led forces based in Cuba
and aime d at any other
country Of this hemisphere.
Sending American troops to
Thailand certainly opens up
the question Of why the same
kind Of action In respect to
Cuba isn't also justified.
