Cultural Projects

AS his swan song, after
serving 8 terms in Congress,
Representative Carroll D.
Kearns, Republican of Penn
Sylvania, has introduced
three bills of vital interest
to those who want the Ma
TONS Capital to take its
due place beside other cap
ital cities of the world in the
arts. They deserve Presi-
dental support. They are:
/. A bill to make the Cap
itol Theater a municipal
theater and to establish the
Office of Cultural Affairs in
the Office Of the Board of
Commissioners, D. c. The
precedent for this is New
York City's City Center and
new office of Cultural At
fairs headed by Robert Dow
ling.
The Capitol Theater
should not be torn down for
a parking lot, a bowling al
ley, or offices since it is
the only facility we now
have-or will have until the
National Cultural Center is
built some years from now

Deep Freeze

In advancing sig billion worth of
Federal highway-aid funds several
months ahead of schedule, Secretary of
Commerce Hodges noted that the money
will be especially welcome in those
States which have taken the initiative
and have plans ready to move ahead
with the modernization of their road
systems"
His words, in the case of the Dis
trict of Columbia, have an ironical ring.
As far as plans are concerned, the Dis
trict is in better position than numer-
Gus other urban areas ito move ahead"
with the obligation of funds on its major
freeway projects. But the moratorium
already imposed on some of them, and
the threat that others may also be
delayed, have placed city highway Off
Gals in the anomalous and unfamiliar
position of having great deal of money
they are unable to spend. For any i'm
mediate good it will do, the additional
S38 million which Mr.. Hodges has
thawed out for Washington might just
as we'll be tossed back into the Federal
deep freeze.
This does not mean, of course, that
the full pool of Federal funds will not
be needed later, or that the city will
not need all of the local highway rev.
enues it can muster to match them. 1t
does mean that the high-priority ma
tional highway program has unreaSon-
ably been brought to a virtual halt in
the Nations Capital at the very time
that extraordinary efforts are being
made to expedite its progress every
where else
During the recent appropriations
hearings, several Senators suggested
that no harm would result from a delay
in highway construction until November
/, when the National Capital TranSpor-
tation Agency submits new proposals for
freeway and for regional transit facil-
tiles Their point would be entirely valid
if conclusive decisions on all Of the
proposals could be made in November,
or even during the several months to
follow. The danger is, however, that the
Meta report will start another inter
minable Squabble of the sort with which
Washington has become all too familiar
in the past. The White House, which
bears the initial responsibility for CO.
ordinating transportation facilities
within the District, should see to it that
decisions are reached which will revive
an adequate program of needed freeway
construction at the earliest possible
time. No more important job faces
Charles A. Horsky, the Presidents new
trouble-shooter on National Capital At
fairs, than to develop procedures toward
this end.

Correction in Peru

Our Government moved much too
precipitately, instead of making haste
slowly, when it cracked down last month
on the Communist military junta
that had seized power in Peru to cope
with an exceptionally complex electoral
situation that could have become cha
otto. With the White House describing
the juntaS action as "a serious setback"
to democracy in the Americas, the State
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with the guild
ance of reports from Ambassador James
Loeb in Lima - suspended diplomatic
relations and cut off all but a trickle
of aid to the country.
But now the facts have become
relatively clear, and the mistake has
been rectified. Having seen that the
Peruvian people themselves are quite
satisfied with the junta, and having
seen also that the junta has from the
start upheld constitutional liberties lin
GLIDING freedom of the preSS), the
United States - after some weeks of
trying to maintain what seems to us
to have been an altogether untenable
position-haS decided to recognize the
Lima regime and to resume the eco
nomic assistance that Peru desperately
needs. What remains difficult to under
stand despite efforts of apologists to ex-
plain it, is the line of reasoning that
led our Government to act as it did in
this instance.
The action was harsh. 1t was I'M
precedented. It was studied interven-
ton in the internal affairs Of one Of
our oldest and stauncheSt hemisphere
allies. And it seemed particularly in
comprehensive when measured against
the administrators advocacy with
which we agree) of aid to Red dictator
ships like Poland'S and YugoSlavia'S.
But all'S we'll that ends well. Our Gov
eminent undoubtedly has done the
right thing in deciding to correct itself
and resume aid to anti-CommuniSt
Peru, which usually votes with us in the
United Nations but which still receives
considerably less help from us than do
certain "neutralS to mention the
Polish and YugoSlav regimes-that con-
Stantly vote against us.
To sum up, it must be hoped that
our Government will think twice in
the future before it deals as severely
with any country, on either side of the
Iron Curtain, as it has dealt with Peru,
which UNDERSTANDABLE does not want
Ambassador Loeb to return. Dean
AcheSon, when he was Secretary Of
State orooo IN uo i,oc
tests designed to accept or reject gov
ernments, depending on how their color
alton conformed with ours. AS Mr. Ache
son suggested at the time, such tests can
be not merely silly but dangerous.

The Lords Prayer

BY deciding to continue Bible read
ing and recitation of the Lords Prayer
next term, the District Public Schools
have squarely and honestly met the
questions left unanswered by the now
historic New York decision.
New York's prayer was banned be-
cause, as the Supreme Court saw it,
the State had no right to compose and
prescribe it for use in Government-reg-
ulated schools.
This definitely left unsettled any
opinion the court may have on Bible
reading and recitation of the familiar
passage known as the Lords Prayer.
These are the practices District schools
will continue as long as the law will
allow.
Before the 1868 school year, the
Supreme Court may have ruled on the
validity of Bible-reading and the Lords
Prayer in school rooms, as it sees it. Both
questions are likely to be heard by the
high tribunal in appeals from Maryland
and Pennsylvania courts. AS of this
time, the Maryland appeals court has
ruled the practice permissible and, in
Pennsylvania, a three-judge Federal
court has ruled against it.
Until the Supreme Court has its say,
if indeed it takes the cases, the District
schools, ard our adjoining county
schools, too, are well advised to keep
the Bible and the Lords Prayer close
to their students.

Welfare Policy

I wish to register my dis
approval Of the expose char
acter Of Senator Robert c.
Byrd's Welfare Department
Investigations.
I believe that the chair
man Of the Senate Appropri-
atoms Subcommittee for the
District should set policy for
the spending Of monies. This
would include such consider
atoms as whether or not So
cial workers should be pro-
vided with more clerical
help.
The setting Of policy en-
phatically does not include
the need for a Senator to
read the intimate details Of
why a particular man is in
need Of public assistance.
This information belongs only
in the confidential files Of a
social worker.
1t would be most regret
able If the misery Of the poor
were to offer material for
the personal aspirations of
politicians.
Toby Brooks.
