WeH-Loved Strinqs

For Washington music lovers, the
severance of the resident status Of the
Budapest String Quartet at the Library
of Congress will be cause for regret.
Over the last % years, this superlative
ensemble, very possibly the finest string
quartet in the world, has given pleas
ure to untold thousands of followers
at its regular spring and fall concerts,
made possible through the generosity
of the Whittall Foundation. In the
process, Washington has become known
as one of the leading centers for
chamber music in the Nation.
Fortunately chamber music at the
Library's Coolidge Auditorium will not
end with the March engagement of
the Budapest. Beginning in the autumn,
it will be succeeded by another first
rate aggregation, the Julliard String
Quartet, whose members, as did those
of the Budapest, will use during their
stay the beautiful StradivariuS instru-
mentS given the Library by Gertrude
Clarke Whittall. The mark established
by the Budapest Quartet is admirable
on all counts, one which assures it of
a warm welcome on future visits to
Washington.

Emphasis on Education

Virginias Governor Almond, pre-
paratory to turning his office over to-
morrow to incoming Governor Albertis
Harrison, presented to his successor
and to the General Assembly record
budget calling for the greatest educa-
tional outlay in the States history. In
fact, education was the largest single
item in the overall $1.4-billion spend
ing program. And, in view of Virginia's
need for improving its school and college
facilities, the emphasis on education is
not surprising.
Included in the $277-million edu-
cational program were proposals for
higher pay for teachers and college
research staffS, for widespread use of
educational televiSion, for more college
dormitorieS and other facilities and for
a Simplified and more equitable formula
for distributing school appropriations
OF special interest to Northern Virginia
was an ALLEGATION of $5900O0 for con-
tinuing construction of the new George
Mason College at Fairfax branch of

Yes, there are cats (female)

Gloom in Paris and a Sian of HOPE

French government to control
the situation in Algeria and
are now determined to take
matters into their own hands.
If this Interpretation is cor
rect. the prospect for a gen.
eral bloodbath in Algeria
along Congolese lines would
seem to be excellent. At the
same time, however, 1t Is also
possible to put another more
hopeful contraction on the
declaration and on certain
recent actions of the French
government.
Hint of New Development
The hope lies in the posi-
bility that a military cease
fire which would radically
change the perspective in AL
geria may be in the offing.
Rumors that have been cir
culating in Paris for several
days, the complete silence of
the Algerian communique on
any phase of the military
struggle and the sudden de-
parture of Pierre Mess
mer, Defense Minister, for a
three-day inspection tour"
of the Army in Algeria have
encouraged speculation that
something is imminent.
At the same time, a re-
markable editorial in this
weeks left wing Express
speaks confidently of a pro-
tocol offered by the French
to the FIN in the course of
their secret talks. This proto-
col, if accepted, would not
only put a formal end to the
fighting but recognize the
principle of Algerian indie
pendence and unity of the
country.
Its signature could, indeed,
allow both the FIN and the
French government to face
up at last to the greatest
single remaining obstacle to
an Algerian settlement-the
fanatical hostility of the Eu-
ropean extremists focused in
the activity of the secret
Army organization. The COM
mon efforts of the French
government and the FIN
against these French ultras
would be, to say the least,
a curious alliance of forces.
But it might also be the
only way of avoiding an ulti-
mate tragedy in the long and
dismal Algerian story.

the ever-rising costs. Of State services
and facilities. Welfare items also were
prominent in the budget and among
them was request for $150,000 with
which to plan a mental hospital in
Northern Virginia. Such an institution
long has been needed in this part of
the State.
Governor Almonds spending pro-
gram is subject, of course to revision
by the Legislature, which will be con-
cerned both with spending and with
raising the additional revenue that will
be required to carry out any expansion
of public services or any new construc-
ton. But, as he put 1t, Il have endeav-
ored to make realistic appraisal of
needs and resources. These are con-
siderations which fair and honest men
may long debate" We hope the de-
bate will be favorable to his recon-
mendations.

MoIotov's Return

The reinstatement of V. M.
Molotov to his former post
in Atoms for Peace could
have one of several meanings.
Not to be overlooked is the
possibility of appeasement to
Mao TSe-tung and the Chi
nese Communists. The Red
leader and the old BolShevik
are known to have similar
views in many phases of in
ternational politics, particu-
larly the method for world
conquest, also their mutual
feeling of hatred toward the
United States.
If Mr.. Molotov has out
maneuvered Khrushchev and
his constituents, we can look
forward to a tougher Soviet
program in their future deal
ingS with us.

Italian Investors

Like the late Will Rogers,
all I know is what I read
in the papers.
In one column, Mr.. Zee
kendorf has called in a Brit
iSh firm to finance the re-
development of a considerable
parcel of land in Washing
ton. In another column: An
Italian firm has bought or
leased a large tract in Foggy
Bottom and plans to build
a Self-suStaining city of
apartments. with garage, res
taurant. drug store, etc.
Aren't there any Ameri-
cans interested in investing
money in the Capital of the
U. S. A. or is it really neces-
Sary to get outsiders to buy
or lend money for redevelop-
ment here? Or does politics
make it undesirable?
We send money and food
by CARE" to Italy. Maybe
the poverty-stricken people
of Italy would profit if the
Italian firm spent that money
at home. If they are not
poverty-stricken, why are we
sending money and food over
there?

Glare at Lompposts

Either the laws governing
the conditions of District
highway bids are not suf-
ficiently flexible to permit
canceling out a minor item"
that is priced at an out
rageous figure, or else the
D. C. Highway Department
is not directed and stated
by personnel qualified to ac-
cept bids for highway con-
structions.
II the laws do not permit
flexibility enough to cancel
Sub-components of bids to
avoid such extortionate prices
as in the Theodore Roose-
velt Bridge lamppost case,
then Mr.. Aitken should have
been the first to request
their change to allow escape
from such over-chargeS. A
good bid on the overall
project" (superstructure) was
certainly fine. But when that
bid included a minor item"
that was priced at an out
rageous figure, that item
should have been Cancelled
out and the bid on the re-
mainder of the project ac-
cepted. Then new bids should
have been asked on the lamp
posts alone. If the laws pro-
hibit such action. they need
changing. If they permit
such action. then someone in
the D. C. Highway Depart
ment needs changing.
This matter is of particular
and special Importance at
this time because the D. C.
Highway Department has
submitted proposals for con-
struction to a total amount
OF 1881 million over the next
6 years. That is at a rate
(on the average) in excess of
81 million per week for the
whole period. In addition, the
National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency is preparing a
transit development program
for the metropolitan Wash
ington region which un-
doubtedly will call for an
enormous outlay. That
agency is empowered to des-
ignate the Board Of Com
missioners of the District Of
Columbia "aS the instru-
mentality through and by
which facilities of the agency
in the D. C. are to be deS-
ignated and constructed" If
such an agreement is reached,

would name the D. c. De-
partment Of Highways to

we discovered-amounted to
about twelve or thirteen mil
lion dollars"
THE BASIC PRINCIPLE
(u npri nciple, really by
which Gould operated is rel
atively simple. however. and
here Mr.. O'Connor quotes
the distinguished financial
h iStorian, Alexander D.
Moves: "(Gould) mastered
more completely than any
other promoter in our his
tory the art of buying worth
less railways for a song, SELL
ing them at fancy figures to
a solvent corporation under
his own control, and then so
Straining the credit and
manipulating the books Of
the amalgamated company so
as to secure his own safe re-
treat through the stock mar
ket."
Yet there was a quasi de
cent side to Gould in addi-
ton to his devotion to his
family. Even Horace Greeley
admitted it, and Gould had
few greater and no more elo-
quent enemies. When he
devoured the widows sub
stance" wrote Greeley, "he
differed from so many Of his
associates in refraining from
the pretenSe of long prayers.
The family to which Gould
was so devoted lacked nor
NAL business sense, though
one of the sons inherited his
fathers ambition, and the
vast financial structure was
soon sharply reduced. Unlike
many manipulators, Gould
had settled down to relative
ly sound management in the
latter part Of his career and
he had entertained hopes that
his empire could be main
tained.
And still we do not really
know Jay Gould. nor are we
likely to. "All that survived
him were stacks Of ledgers,
columns Of newsprint and a
mountain Of ticker tape. No
diaries, no packets OF love
letters would ever tell Of his
inner life" And so Gould will
remain a symbol of an era
which for all its extravagant
magnificence no one will re-
gret.

PARIS.

A1b4Os
Considerable confusion -
and more than the usual
gloom-reign in Paris In the
wake of the latest statement
of rebel Algerian leaders after
their meeting in Morocco. AS
many experts and assorted
soothSayers read omens, the
outlook for peace in Algeria
has now received a new and
perhaps decisive setback.
The object of all the COM
mentary is the vaguely word
ed but not wholly negative
communique which sums up
the position of the rebel FIN
at this stage of efforts to
reach a negotiated peace
through secret talks with the
French.
Significantly, the statement
makes no mention of these
talks while reaffirming the
necessity for evolution to-
ward a peaceful and negoti-
ated solution of the Algerian
problem" At the same time,
the communique admits the
need for guarantees of the
Legitimate ntereSts of
France and the Europeans in
Algeria"
What has raised eyebrows
and depressed spirits in
France, however, was FILMS
declaration of war on the
right-wing extremists in AL
geria to crush the action
of colonialist and Fascist
groups trying to drag the Eu-
ropeans of Algeria into an
adventure that involves the
FISK OF compromising their
future in Algeria" D."
Threat of Growing Violence
This threat, if literally
carried out, places an ugly
perspective on the future of
the Algerian drama. T h e
prospect, as pessimists see it,
is one of ever-increasing vio-
lence between the two COM
munitieS reinforcing the pat
tern of terrorism and coun-
ter-terroriSm that has already
brought the country near a
state of anarchy.
This pattern could, if car
ried far enough, exclude any
possibility of peaceful Solu-
ton" of the Algerian problem
Indeed, one widely held view
here is that the leaders of

5,000-man police force with
heavy deployment of patrols

potential of the police is
diluted by the number of

cations. This deficiency
should be corrected.

Iniudicious

Justice Douglas, whose love for
the Potomac River is widely known, is
guilty Of not-very-judicious language in
suggesting that the rural co-operativeS
which are interested in cheap hydro
electric power might be able to swing
the construction of high-level dam
at River Bend.
"If the powerful lobby of the rural
co-opS obtains the River Bend dam,"
said the Supreme Court Justice in
talk to the Daughters of the American
Revolution, "it should inherit the wrath
of our people"
Well, no doubt this raised the
wrath of the OAR. But as Mr.. Douglas
should know, the major factors in the
Army engineers study of the River Bend
dam, as we'll as in alternative river
development plans, are water supply,
pollution abatement, flood control and
recreation. From our observation the
engineers have taken great pains to dis
count the Importance Of hydro-electric
power, certainly as factor in the ulti-
mate decision-and we have no reason to
believe this has been done dishonesty.
1t has been our hope that prac-
tical alternative solution will be found
one that will solve the problems as we'll
or better than the River Bend dam. But
that question will have to be deter
mined on the facts. Loose talk about
the rural coop lobby hardly helps.

Dr.. Johnson Prescribes

DR.. Phillip T. Johnson, president
of the D. C. Federation of Civic Associ-
ationS, is not one Of those who. believe
that all the problems of the needy can
be solved by bigger and more widely dis
tributed relief checks. On the contrary,
in challenging and thoughtful report
he has filed with the Commissioners, he
suggests that this is the wrong path to
follow, and that much can and should
be done to curtail District welfare rolls.
DR.. johnson, surgeon, is one Of
WaShington'S most distinguished Negro
leaders, with long background of civic
service that includes membership on
the Board of Education. He is SYM
pathetic toward the often-helpless vic
Tins of environment, who, he insists,
must be helped by something more
than their share of relief check. But
he also singles out the migrants who
come here looking for "the promised
land" and who find themselves too often
"at the end of the road" Perhaps, as
he says, it would be worth the effort
to try to inform potential migrants of
the difficulties they may face.
DR.. Johnson has harSher words for
some of those already here and on
relief-the professional" mothers, who
have many offspring, without the
benefit of marriage, but with definite
promise from the relief rolls" the "in-
dividuals on the relief rolls who appear
strong and healthy =. riding in auto
mobiles of the latest design" To DR..
Johnson, it is hard to conceive of
people outside of the hospital who are
not capable of doing some kind of work"
And he adds: Some control must be
evolved wherein the relief rolls can
come down and the work rolls can
mount. Let our theme be that all
employable persons should earn their
SuStenance. :"
This is big order indeed, and to
accomplish it the doctor prescribeS a
massive "taSk force" operation-much
more intensive screenings and investi-
cation of welfare recipients, but also
intensive programs Of counseling and
training; community and day-care cen
ters; displacement services, and work
programs. DR., Johnson puts no price
tag on his proposal, and very possibly
it would be too ambitious, too all
encompassing. The hopeful thing, how
ever is that such citizens as DR.. John
son are proposing ideas for the new
approach which the Commissioners are
seeking, and which the community so
obviously needs, to the problems of de-
pendency, indigency and delinquency.
