Proper Subsidy

The House District Committee has
done the right thing in approving a
bill which would require the city to
subsidize reduced-rate bus fares for
school children. The practical effect of
the present system is that portion of
the costs of carrying school children is
borne now by other transit riders. This
is wrong The question of whether chill
dren ride at reduced fares is matter
of public policy and, as we have said in
the past, if there is to be subsidy for
this purpose it should be borne by the
taxpayers as whole.
This liability upon the District
theoretically could amount to as much
as $544, 1000, based on the present num-
ber of school children who ride at 10
cent fares. If this full amount were
paid now, however, the D. c. Transit
Company would realize earnings in
excess of the fair rate of return which
has been set by the Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission. The Senate, in ap-
proving a similar bill, recognized that
such a windfall for the company would
be improper, and provided that the Dis
trict should pay only as much of the
maximum subsidy amount each year
as would be needed to yield D. c. Transit
the designated fair rate of return. The
House committee has added an identical
provision to its bill, and wisely so.

Tipping the Deficit

Baseball fans, especially with the
season opener only days away, are un-
derstandably pleased at the cut in park
ing fees at the D. c. Stadium. And in
deed so cents, rather than the original
81 charge, seems an ample amount to
pay for the privilege of parking within
a reasonable walking distance of the
ball park.
Unfortunately, however, the 50-cent
difference still will have to be paid-by
all the taxpayers of the District. The
city government must pick up the tab
for stadium deficit estimated at $627,-
600 annually, or something over $1,70O
day, every day of the year, based on
parking fees of 81. The reduction to SO
cents simply will add an as yet undeter-
mined number of thousands of dollars
to that liability unless anticipated loss
in parking revenue is offset by greater
use of parking facilities.
This is form of local government

It's Only Money

The Senate Finance Committees
first day of hearings on pending tax
legislation provided good sample OF
the statistical mind at work.
In testimony, Secretary Of Treasury
Dillon, the voice of the administration,
stayed Loyalty with presidential esti-
mates of a $7-billion budget deficit for
the present fiscal year, ending June 80,
and hopefully with the companion eSti-
mate of budget surplus approaching
$500 million in fiscal 1868. In rebuttal,
Committee Chairman Byrd of Virginia,
the voice of despair on Federal finances,
spoke with gloomy confidence Of defi-
cit between So million and SO million
this year and another red ink entry
approaching SIS billion next year. Mr..
Byrd offered to bet hat on his figures.
OffSide, Colin STAN, the voice of exper-
tiSe as chief of the technical staff of
the Senate-H House Committee on Inter-
nal Revenue Taxation, calculated that
next years budget will show deficit
between $38 billion and $40 billion.
Along the way, Mr.. STAINS techni-
clans estimated that the legislation as
already passed by the House would cost
the Treasury $11 billion in revenue in
fiscal 1868. Mr.. Dillon deplored this
estimate as unrealiStic, insisted that
even the House version would not lead
to net loss in 1868 or thereafter, but
proposed Senate changes that would
bring in almost ST billion additional.
In the course of this numbers game,
no time was wasted on the possibility
that budget prospects might be i'm
proved by trimming Federal spending
now projected at $92.5 billion and more
likely to be higher than lower. II next
years books are in the red, presumably
the fault" will be with the private
sector of the economy for failing to pro-
duce the needed revenues. This may, in
turn, require greater spending to get
the economy moving faster.

Puriuh in Havana

Communist Cuba continues to feel
the effects of last Januarys meeting of
the Organization of American States at
Punte del Este in Uruguay. The latest
of these effects is Ecuador's decision to
sever diplomatic relations with Fidel
Castro's tyranny in Havana, and with
Czechoslovakia and Poland as well.
In making the break, Ecuadorian
President Carlos AroSemena has acted
under pressure from the military, but
there can be little doubt that the move
approved unanimously by the cabinet
has the backing of the overwhelming
majority of the countryS largely Catho-
lie population More than that, it con-
forms with the fact that Ecuador,
though it declined at the time to favor
diplomatic or economic sanctions against
Cuba, voted for the Punte del Este res
olution branding Castro's communism
as thing incompatible" with our in
ter-American system.
Ecuador's action, of course, is not
going to have any shattering impact
on Cuba'S Reds. Nevertheless, even
though he has ridiculed it, and reviled
Mr.. Arosemena in the process, Dictator
Castro can hardly be happy with it,
After all, it means that he has lost that
much additional prestige in the heni-
sphere. Indeed, now only four of the
Americas-Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico and
Uruguay-still maintain diplomatic rela-
tions with him, and in rather unenthus-
iaStic fashion.
Thus, in effect, Castro is already a
kind of hemisphere pariah, and if
Ecuador's example is followed by these
few remaining countries that continue
to recognize him, he will be isolated in
way that could be really hurtful to
him. This is the more true because great
numbers of Cubans, having been robbed
of their liberties and put on short ra-
tions, must surely be growing increas-
ingly disenchanted with him.

Britoin's Reds

The British have been inclined to
take a ho-hum attitude toward their
Communists, and this is circumstance
which lends some added interest to the
findings just announced by Prime Minis
ter Macmillan.
After two sensational spy trials last
year, commission headed by distin-
guiShed juriSt, Lord Radcliffe, was set
up to study the status of communism in
Britain. Its report is now in and Mr..
Macmillan has made part of it public.
The Communist Party, its allies and
SympathizerS constitute the most
formidable of the Subversive organiza-
tionS in Britain" the commission found.
But the biggest single risk" at this
time, the report said, grows out Of the
general lack of conviction that any
substantial threat exists to security" 1t
attributed this in part to "the ambiv-
alent attitude" of the government in
recognizing Communists both as an
ordinary political party as well as a
threat to security. One gathers, how
ever, that the recognition of this security
threat has not been a lively one, since
the commission found that Com
munists in British civil service unions
had achieved "a higher degree of pene-
tration" than anywhere else in the
union movement. Mr.. Macmillan told
Commons that something would be
done about it. But he didn't say what.
This British experience may not
have any great significance in the
United States, for at least in our coun-
try the Communist Party has been legal
ly branded as conspiratorial outfit and
no known Communist would be given
job in the Civil Service. In the United
States, as in Britain, however, the
larger threat of successful espionage
does not come from those who openly
declare themselves as Communist Party
members. The greater danger lies with
the hidden Communists, and we have
no better reason than the British to
be complacent about this source of
espionage.

Late Start

There are two things to be said
about Prince Georges County CommiS-
Sioner Jesse S. Baggett's comment that
his county now has an excellent" pro-
gram of real estate assessments.
The first is that this does not square
with the statement of the assessment
supervisor, William E. Hutchinson, who
says that the county still is lamentably
behind in its reasSessment program, and
that he needs at least four more as
SCISSORS right now. The present backlog,
he says, includes numerous parcels of
property which were rezoned to higher
value commercial or apartment uses as
far back as 1889 And this backlog, &C
cording to Mr.. Hutchinson, is costing the
county some SIS million year in ad-
ditional tax revenues.
The second point is that the vigor-
Gus job of reasSesSment begun last year
"a record $140 million was added to the
tax base for 1861 does not explain the
years during which Mr.. Baggett and his
colleagues unaccountably ignored the
urgent pleas from State officials to in
crease the assessment staff.
FOR county as SQOrC on 1uloS anu
as long on needs as Prince Georges, this
is strange business. And the very least
which should be done, it seems to us, is
for the Commissioners to take steps now
toward bolstering the assessment staff
to the size the supervisQ requests. If it
becomes necessary in order to get COM
petent men for the county to supplement
tho 1ou Ctato salaries 0f tho aSSnSS0rS
as the county is permitted to do, the
investment would be returned many
times over in additional tax revenues.

subsidy which in our opinion is justi-
fed. For the stadium is worthwhile
and even a necessary facility in the
Nations Capital, one which should be
constantly available to as many people
as possible. But it also should be un-
derstood, especially by those who do
not reside and pay taxes in the city,
that such municipal facilities are not
free. Somebody has to pay for them
and that somebody is, of course, the
local taxpayer, whether or not he visits
the stadium and parks his car there.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE.
Deep Well Sunk for Chemical Wastes

been permitted to inspect
drilling samples and other
reports on the well to deter
mine whether oil may lie
beneath the Denver area.
Radiation effects associated
with q nuclear bomb explo-
sion are being simulated and
studied by the Army under
precisely controlled condi-
tions with a new pulse
reactor" set up just outside
Washington.
Studies currently are CEN
tered on the effects of such
radiation on electrical COM
ponents, systems and circuits
which now are under military
development.
Equipment Described
The nuclear core Of the
reactor is suspended from q
movable carriage and rests
at the bottom Of an alumni
num-lined tank of demineral-
lied water about 20 feet deep.
Mobility Of the core assembly
permits radiations to be di-
rected within the reactor
pool, or into an adjacent dry,
shielded exposure room large
enough to accommodate the
apparatus being tested.
During a recent inspection
visitors peered into the pool
at the reactor core as it
suddenly emitted q flash of
light-a signal that it had
pulsed for a few thousandths
Of a second from the energy
Of an ordinary radio to a
level equal to all the elec-
trical power used by q city
of 2 million during the same
period.
Studies of the effects, both
permanent and temporary,
of high intensity radiation
may apply not only to con-
ventional Army weapons and
systems but to systems de-
signed for space travel and
nuclear propulsion.
The reactor and the build
ing which incloses it have
been especially designed to
eliminate possibility of radia-
ton injury to operating per-
sonel or to residents in the
thickly settled area round
about.

LETTERS TO THE STAR

Senate, its Judiciary Com
mittee chairman, the Ameri-
can Bar Associations Com
mittee on Judicial Qualifica-
tionS, everyone, in fact, could
be so completely wrong, ex-
cept, Of course, Mr.. Lawrence.
In his brief for promotion
Of existing judges, Mr.. Law
renee would summarily ex-
clude practicing attorneys
who differ in qualifications
from their brethren Of the
bench only in that one was
and the other was not in
the right place at the right
time. Further. is there q
Learned Hand" for whom
MIR. Lawrence laments?
Mr.. Lawrence makes no
distinction between the jurid-
ical and the judicial, and
he blatently asserts that Mr..
White has had mo expert
ence whatsoever" in either
field. This is just not so. His
criticism based on the absence
Of "advice Of members Of
Congress" is hardly warrant
ed in the face of the gener-
ally comInendable tributes
paid to MIR. White by those
Senate leaders whose duty it
will be to "adviSe and con-
sent" to the nomination.
Mr.. Lawrence raises the
point-and supports it with
a precedent from his writings
at the time Of the Justice
Warren appointment-that q
nominee without prior expe-
rience on a Federal, State,
county or city bench is. per
Sc. an evil to be avoided at
all costs. Mr.. Lawrence con-
veniently omits the historic
fact that in addition to the
Chief Justice, no less than
five present Supreme Court
Justices q retired and 3 sit
ting) were nominated with
this same fatal" void in their
valor, including. ah yes, Mr..
Justice Frankfurter.
Mr.. Lawrence's attack is in
poor taste, inaccurate, unfair
and more attuned to county
courthouse politicking on a
justice of the peace affair. He
hurts his own cause, and his
national effectiveness as a
necessary and articulate "op-
position" spokesman.

DemoIishes Opposition to Urban Renewal

I have long advocated that
newspapers - and columnists
as well-pay more attention
to the architecture of their
cities, and ! was therefore
pleased to note the attention
paid to the subject in Con-
stantine Browns column of
March "a. I do feel, however,
that there are some inaccu-
racies in Mr.. Browns obser-
vations as to what happened
in connection with Southwest
Washington. He calls it
Southeast but I assume he
means Southwest.
Southwest Washington be-
fore renewal was not a beau
tiful area in terms of the
buildings that were there. Ex-
cept for a few buildings, some
Of which have been retained,
they were not good architec-
turally-they were built as
workers housing and were
unquestionably slums not
worth saving. with no archi-
tectural significance. It was
selected for redevelopment
because, according to all of
the many surveys conducted
there over the past Is years,
Southwest Washington had
more dilapidated buildings,
more outside toilets, and
more alley dwellings an d
houses which lacked electric
ity and heat than any other
area of the city. It was also
agreed by police and welfare
officials that Southwest
Washington accounted for an
undue proportion of delin-
quency, health and crime
problems of the city.
Mr.. Brown states that "the
buildings fell beneath bull
dozers without consideration
for where the families were
to go and how they were tc
earn a living" This state.
ment is not true. In accord.
ance with Federal urban re.
newal law, all families wert
offered decent, safe and sani.
tary housing before they were
displaced. AS a matter o.
fact, the relocation program
of the D. c. Redevelopmenr
Land Agency has been one O.

pleted, another is under con-
struction. A new food pro-
duce center has been built
and has been in operation
for a couple Of years as well
as q new restaurant. The
Arena Stage opened in the
Fall of '61. Nearly all the
residential land has been dis
posed Of and will be under
construction this year. The
remaining buildings to be put
under construction relate to
the waterfront, to additional
commercial space and to the
private office buildings and a
hotel which are supposed to
get under construction very
soon. The District has built
a new school and a new po-
lice and fire station. This
construction is, indeed, more
than "a few blocks" South
west is actually well along on
its rebuilding.
Everyone is, of course, en-
titled to his own opinion as
to the distinction of architec-
ture. "De gustibus non est
disputandum." Nevertheless.
it should be noted that one
of the new buildings in
Southwest has received an
award, the new Arena Stage
has been the subject of sew
eral articles of commendation
in architectural and other
magazines, and all Of the
buildings under construction
and already built were de-
signed by architects of con-
siderable reputation in tn e
field. One may question an
others preference in archi-
lecture, but there can hardly
be any question of the quail
ity of the various panels
which have selected building
designs entered in competi-
ton by developers for South
west.
