Still No Answer

Unless Congress gets into the act,
the President presumably has said the
last word on the Adlai Stevenson affair.
Mr.. Kennedy told his news confer
ence that, while he would not discuss
the positions taken by members of the
Security Council in the Cuban blockade
debate, he had satisfied himself that
the criticisms of Mr.. Stevenson which
appeared in The Saturday Evening Post
article did not come from any member
Of the Council. He also said he doesn't
know who was responsible for the leak,
and he evidently does not plan any
investigation to find out.
The President was quite specific,
however, in denying a Life magazine
story which said that the White House
had opened the doors of the State De-
partment and the CIA to the authors
Of the Post article. He said it was
untrue that the White House had in
any way authorized or suggested the
Post article, or had made members of
the Security Council available to the
authors.
The Stars information is directly
to the contrary. But it is impossible to
go behind the Presidents statement
So we join Mr.. Kennedy in leaving this
question to the historians, and our only
regret is that we can hardly hope to
be around to read their verdict.

Expanding the Search

Reliance on records and on infre-
quent checks by social workers failed
completely to uncover the degree of
chiSeling on relief rolls in the District
OF Columbia. 1t was only after a pro-
gram Of intensive personal investigation
was instituted that officials learned
that 81 per cent of the recipients in
the aid-to-dependent-children program
were ineligible for this form of as
siStance. Now, under prodding from
Senator Byrd Of West Virginia, the De-
partment Of Health, Education and We'll
fare has disclosed its plans to launch a
similar probe next month among ADO
recipients throughout the Nation.
In brief, according to Social Security
Commissioner Ball, more than per cent
OF the national ADO caseload-or some
81 900 cases-will be covered, with the
probe encompassing field Investigations,
including home visits, as we'll as reviews
Of the written case records. So far, so
good. Mr.. Ball is less encouraging, how
ever, on the crucial question of the quail
fications Of those doing the investigat-
ing. Indeed, the indications are that this
responsibility will be left largely to the
States. II they should choose TO have
their investigations conducted largely by
social workers, for example, rather than
by trained investigators, the results will
be questionable, TO say the least.
Again referring to the District, It
will be remembered that only five
trained investigators initially were as
signed to its special probe. A little later,
five more we're added. Then, 10 we'll
qualified investigators from the General
Accounting Office, we're assigned to the
project. AS a result Of the findings, the
District next year will have n trained
investigators on the Job, as part OF a
total investigative staff OF l29. The HEW
would be wise to consider this expert
ence, ana at least to take another look
at this aspect OF It's nationwide probe
before the wheels start turning In Jan
uary. Perhaps, since the probe will be
OF limited duration, the assistance OF
the GAO could be obtained. II the effort
is worth making, and we think II is,
there should be no room left for doubt
about the results.

The SmiIinq Lady

For three weeks next month the
National Gallery of Art promises to be
the most popular spot in the country.
The reason is only too obvious, for
starting January 8, the worlds most
famous art treasure, the Mona Lisa,
will be displayed there. Thus, in one
subtle gesture, the Old and New Worlds,
now but hours apart through air travel,
will seem to clasp hands in an even
closer embrace.
At the time Leonardo Da Vinci was
creating his masterpiece, Columbus had
just plodded across the Atlantic to
discover world where a Mona Lisa
would have been as incongruous as the
Eiffel Tower. Now at the ripe old age
Of 459, and having survived the viciSSi-
tudes Of time, thievery and war, the
sweet smiling lady is paying us the
honor Of visit. There was something
thrilling about President Kennedy's
announcement of 1t in the lead off
statement of his news conference-a
spot usually reserved for grave matters
of national Importance.
Because of the hazards inherent
in the overseas shipment, Frances
generosity in the loan of the priceless
portrait is certain to draw together the
two nations in an even warmer friend
ship. First Lafayette, then the Statue
Of Liberty, and now the Mona Lisa

French people. If it is physically possible,

What's happened to the
idea2
Have we become so preoc-
cupied with Cuba, Berlin,
medicare and aid to educa-
tion that it's been side
tracked?
Secretary Udall has said,
". by the year 1000 1t
is estimated this country will
require 40 times the recrea-
ton facilities it now has. -"
He has referred to the pres
ent as the Nations "last
chance" to reserve what 1t
is surely going to need. And
he has pointed out that
despite a population increase
from 1872 million in 1910 to
l80 million in 1860, total
Federal-State park lands had
grown only from 23.6 million
to % million acres.
The signs that America
needs and wants wilderness
recreation should be plain
to anyone. The sale Of fish
ing and hunting licenses and
boating, camping and hik-
ing equipment and the use
thereof is outstripping even
population growth.
The Americans who are
buying and using such
things are not doing so just
TO kill little birds, catch
little fish, enjoy the. sensa-
tion OF speed on water or
eat their own half-cooked
cooking. They are doing so
In an effort 10 fill q basic
and deeply felt need.
It's time we all gave some
deep thought TO the follow
ing question:
What sort OF country will
we have left after we're
through saving II from the
Russians; after we've insured
that better educated Ameri-
cans can count on dying
later in life than they now
can7

someday have TO 90 through
the agonies OF mass claus
trophobia because there's no
place left where a man can
be alone; no place left where
a boy can catch a lizard.

Tests Medicore

I would like to discuss
medical care insurance for

everybody wants to do some
thing for us. The American
Medical Association claims
we never had it so good. The
President says he is going to
do much better for less. !
happen to be one of those
who Is a beneficiary of both
of their plans. I am a retired
Government worker whose
medicare insurance is a joint
operation of the Federal
Government and private en-
terprise. In theory am one
of those who could not have
1t better. I have a contract
with a private enterprise for
which I pay $19 a month pre-
MUM for my wife and my
self, and the Government
contributes an additional So
a month. But let's see what
I got for my $500 a year
insurance premium when I
was faced with a real health
risk catastrophe.
I broke my hip several
months ago. You can't fake
a broken hip and If you have
one, even a young person
faces a long disability. With
those in my age group you
are a nursing and rehabilita-
ton problem much longer. I
ended up paying approx
mately 80 per cent of the
cost. I occupied a two bed
room; there were no special
nurses and the surgeons bill
was minimal. I happen to
have financial reserves so
that I did not end up in
debt or a burden to my chill
dren. But there are many in
my age group who would
have been in real trouble
when they read the fine print
in what is supposed to be the
best medical care coverage
possible.
My point is this. and I
think all workers in the IS or
over age group should do
some thinking: If at $25 a
month I can't buy full COW
erage for a broken hip, how
can the politicians promise so
much more for less? If a
GoVernment-approved medi-
care plan, towards which it
contributes $6 a month. can't
cover a broken hip in full,

How sad that Christmas catalogue

vincing one, for things like Bodi-Gard.

We have before us a gay catalogue.
1t is decorated with all sorts of holly
and other Yuletide designs. It suggests
the kind Of gifts we ought to give to
persons we either like or love. The cat
alogue represents the available goods of
one OF our country's most fashionable
and most respected merchandising in
stitutions. There are some wonderful
items in 1t, quite in keeping with the
fact that this is the season to be Jolly.
In addition, however, nestled among the
nice things, there are the following,
seriously proposed as articles that Santa
Claus should put in everybody's stocking:

Two articles appearing re-
Gently in The Star prompt me
to call attention to a nation
al problem that should con-
cern all Americans.
One was the serialization
Of Rachel Carson's Silent
Spring" the other a story
about a 7-year-old boy who
wrote President Kennedy for
help when a housing develop
ment threatened to preempt
the canyon where he hunted
lizards.
The Star is to be COM
mended for publishing both.
Miss Carson tells us to be-
ware lest we face a treeless,
birdless future. And despite
the understandable protesta-
tions OF the chemical indus
try and distinguished natural
scientists. we would do well
TO heed her warnings even If
we believe them to be some
what overstated.
But Peter Scott Turner Of
San Diego may we'll have
sounded the more urgent
warning: for II II should
come to pass that too little
room had been reserved in
this country for trees and
birds even worse conse-
quences could result.
Too many OF us take for
granted the America we
have known until now. Sub
consciously we persist in
thinking of ourselves as pio-
neers In a roomy world OF
vast forests, great plains. high
mountains and broad waters.
The wild aloneness OF the
environment into which Eu-
ropean settlers came In the
l7th century has placed It's

THE POLITICAL MILL
A New Breeze in Pennsylvania
BY GOULD LINCOLN

unlikely; he does not believe
it could happen. Nor does he
wish to be q presidential
nominee. A single two-year
term in Congress and a year
and-half as governor, he
feels, are not sufficient expe-
rience for the office Of Chief
Executive. And he clearly in
dicated strong support for
Gov. Rockefeller Of New
York, If the latter becomes
a candidate.
Conservative on Finances
In his appearance on Meet
The Press" a program of
the National Broadcasting
Company, Mr.. Scranton made
it quite clear that he has
progressive ideas, and that
he is a real conservative
when 1t comes to finances.
He does not believe it's q
good idea to have unbalanced
budgets and big deficits year
after year. He is, indeed, one
of the most attractive of the
new men who are moving
into high public office. His
campaign for the governor
ship against former Philadel-
phia Mayor Richardson Dill
worth is proof of this and
so his victory by more than
400,000-an amazing feat.
The Republicans, inclined
to fight over their guber-
Material nomination, finally
united on Mr.. Scranton. But
only after Senator Hugh
Scott, aided by former Presi-
dent Eisenhower, had prod
ded the party regulars. Sena-
tor Scott, the last Republican
to win an important State
wide office, threatened to run
for Governor himself against
a candidate picked by the old
guard Republicans. AS it
turned out, the Scranton
nomination was a major
victory for the G.OP.-just
as Sen. SCOTS election to the
Senate in 1853 had been.
Mr.. Scranton is fortunate
in having a Republican
majority in the State legis-
lature, though the margin of
control is Small-1O9 Repub-
licanS to 101 Democrats in
the House and a margin of
% in the State Senate. How
ever, members of the legis-
lature have a record of stick
ing together, and Mr.. Scran-
ton should be able to get
most If not all of his program
through.
The new Governor will face
a tough job. He must per-
Suade new industries to enter
the State and decrease the al
ready large unemployment
which has persisted. He also
faces the need of improving
State finances. The Demo-
cratic administration now
moving out used tax collec-
tons for next year to show a
SIG million surplus. This bor-
rowed money from next
years collection will be a
real problem for Gov. Scran-
ton. He hopes to bring about
savings to offset it. And he
hopes to be able to avoid a
tax increase. q
If he proves a good Gov
ernor, Mr.. Scranton, no mat
ter what his personal wishes,
will remain a potential COP.
