Memorable Music

1t has been 20 years since Marian
Anderson won the battle of Constitution
Hall and became the first of her race to
sing there. The building is still standing,
and so is the Metropolitan Opera House,
where Miss Anderson and later Leontyne
Price also triumphed over tradition.
So 1t was more surprising than
shocking that in an upper middle class
Chicago suburb, Oak Park, the COM
munity symphony orchestra association
decided 1t would be improper for young
Carol Anderson (no relation) to play in
the string section because her color did
not match that of the other violinists.
Happily, the story does not end
there. When the orchestra played its
Sunday concert, Miss Anderson was a
member-if only for day. With VIC
tory won, she is reSuming her music
studies In Boston. But the victory really
belongs to the citizens of Oak Park
River Forest who overruled their orches-
ira association officials, insisted that
Miss Anderson play, then went out to
warmly applaud her.

Patronage at q Price

The Democratic Administration Dtn
establish and enforce Code of Ethics to
maintain the fun dignity and integrity
OF the Federal serpice and to make it
more attractive to the abIeSt men and
Uomen.-1960 Democratic platform.
Now, the above is passed. Of mighty
pretty words which, canned in July, 1860,
may become downright indigestible in
July, 1868. That's the time of year when
Washington is invaded by all those
bright young students who spend the
summer picking up few bucks working
for, and learning about, their Govern
ment.
This summer, Federal Columnist Joe
Young tells us, they are going to learn
more than they bargained for. They are
going to be indoctrinated into the
political-boss system, known otherwise
simply as patronage. And their lessons
are coming from the very Olympia OF
plum dispenSaries, the White House.
Somebody there, we are told, Is going
to save the Civil Service Commission
the trouble Of deciding what students
will work where. Being set up at the
White House level is a sort Of super
employment service, unhampered by
rules and regulations, to which agency
personnel officials have been told they
should channel all Job applications.
Avowedly, this system will guarantee
that the talents Of each applicant will
be used to best advantage. But 1t doesn't
take a political genius to perceive that
the talents of worthy Democrats son
may Just happen to be more worthy
than those of a misguided outsider.
No exception In the White House
lottery is planned for select group OF
student trainees who expect to make
Government their careers. These are
the young men and women the Govern
ment hopes to attract Ito maintain the
full dignity and integrity Of the Federal
service" But 1t wouldn't be too surpris-
ing II the trainees, after learning the
true facts Of political life, packed up
their shattered ideals and departed
forever.

The Weapons, Too

The emphasis which now is being
placed on the removal Of Russian
weapons as well as Russian troops
from Cuba is belated, but nonetheleSs
welcome. For some of these weapons,
II left in Cuban hands, could lead to
serious trouble.
Chickens should be counted slowly
In this business. The reported assur-
ance from Mr.. Khrushchev that he will
remove some 5000 of the $1,000 Soviet
troops stationed in Cuba is encouraging.
II 1t materializeS, 1t will be a start
along the right road. But 1t will not
by any means signal the end Of the
Cuban problem.
Our security today depends on con-
slant aerial reconnaissance over Cuba,
most OF 1t by high-flying planes. The
Soviet surface-to-air missiles in Cuba,
which brought down a U-2 last year,
presumably could put speedy end to
these overflights. But the missiles are
under Russian control and they are not
being uSed-perhaps by agreement, tacit
or otherwise This picture could change
quickly If the Russian troops were
pulled out and the missiles turned over
to the CubanS. If they should be able
to use them and tried to do so, it is
hard to see how an invasion of Cuba,
which might be costly, could be long
deferred.
So those who are clamoring for
removal Of all Russian troops, and the
sooner the better, should do a bit of
second-thinking. These troops are not
a military threat to the United States
or to Latin America. And as long as
the effective antiaircraft weapons re-
main In Cuba, the Russians who man
them can serve as kind of insurance
against raShneSS on Fidel Castro's part.

FACING the Crisis

The impact and Importance Of the
voluminous Hansen report on District
schools can hardly be exaggerated. First
off, 1t sustains, with broader perspec-
tive, virtually all of the shocking allega-
lions Of the MacCarthy Committee.
More important, 1t proposes a great
variety Of specific remedial measures
which in most instances, we think, make
sense, and which in all cases deserve
serious and painStaking consideration.
Only a blind man would contest
Superintendent Hansen's premise that
the sources Of behavioral and other
problems In the schools stem largely
from conditions outside the schools, and
that corrective efforts, therefore, must
also extend beyond the walls of the
classroom. Fortunately DR.. Hansen is
realist enough to know, however, that
the classroom is where these efforts must
begin-that a great many things can
and should be accomplished at that
level Immediately. Among them, the
most important by all odds is the abso-
lutte necessity Of quashing, by removing
offenders from normal classes If neces-
Sary, the abnormal and disruptive be-
havior Of those chronic troublemakers
who in many classes are obstructing the
progress Of the great majority Of chill
dren who are in school for q single
purpoSe-to learn.
Many Of DR.. Hansen's statements,
moreover, could not have been easily
made. For 1t is clear from his report
that those responsible for public educa-
ton in the District have grievouSly
avoided or closed their eyes to some of
these problems, that past policies In too
many instances have served to dis
courage firm disciplinary measures and
have left teachers and principals with
sense Of uncertainty and Illustration
about their own authority. The encour-
aging change Is that these problems are
being faced now.
In all, DR.. Hansen suggests ~
specific recommendation for rectifying
these shortcomings, plus a number of
others which are not entirely confined
to the schools. Some should be applied
Immediately. Others require further
definition and exploration by the Com
miSSioners and by the appropriations
committees of Congress. Still others
will require more time, and the Joint
efforts Of many groups.
The most urgent Of all are the four
major recommendations to the Board of
Education dealing with corporal pun
iShment, expulsion policies, special
classes for recalcitrants, and other
expanded school resources) which DR..
Hansen has assigned top-priority atten-
cicn. Their favorable reception by the
School Board would be an excellent
starting point on which to build, and to
afford the many positive strengths which
exist in the school system an oppor-
tunitY to flourish.

Unit Vote System

The callous action by
Maryland's Senate TO retain
the primary unit vote sys-
tenn must have at least ac-
complished one thing: It
must have convinced even the
last doubter that the State
Senate. too must be reap
portioned.
Sixteen Senators represent
ing less than one-fourth of
the people Of Maryland over
ruled IL Senators represent
ing over three fourths OF the
people. As q result. Maryland
remains the only State using
a unit vote device for legally
distorting the popular votes
In primary elections.
Apparently the small
county Senators hope TO
hang onto their unnatural
power long enough TO control
the 1864 party conventions
and even. perhaps. the 1866
Statewide primaries. But
their intransigence only
shows more clearly the ne
cessity Of court action TO end

Safely past the first six weeks of

on an extraordinary show of being be-
unused by its own words. After talking

engaged in a similar exercise in futility
about its rules and practices on COM
mittee assignments.

THE POLITIcAL MILL
No End to U. S. Foreign Aid
By GOULD LINCOLN

The foreign aid policy Of
the United States and the
Kennedy foreign aid program
= estimated to cost $40 bill
lion for the fiscal year 1864
- are due for close scrutiny
by Congress. The tangled
situation Of our foreign af-
fairs is likely to cause more
trouble than not. In addi-
ton there is a growing hos
tility, even on the part of
some of those members Of
Congress who have supported
the aid programs in the past.
Last year, Congress cut al
most a billion dollars Of the
sum requested by the Presi-
dent for foreign aid. 1t APP
propriated $50 billion. Dur
ing the Truman, Eisenhower
and Kennedy administra-
tions, the period since the
close of World War II, 1t is
estimated that $98 billion
has been contributed by the
taxpayers Of this country to
foreign countries, for relief,
for economic and military
aid. DR.. D. A. Fitzgerald,
deputy administrator until
last August. in a copyrighted
interview with u. s. News 81
World Report gave this es-
innate, divided $24 billion in
loans and STA billion in
grants, DR.. Fitzgerald's expe-
rience with our foreign aid
programs dates back to 194S,
when Paul Hoffman took
charge of administering the
Marshall Plan. Some of the
loans, DR.. Fitzgerald said,
have been repaid in whole or
in part, particularly those
made under the Marshall
Plan which was designed to
bring about European re-
covery.
Our foreign aid programs
have been vastly extended
until now they reach into 80
countries. DR.. Fitzgerald es-
timated that. Of the total
$98 billion, $31 billion has
been for military aid and
$67 billion for economic aid
Of one sort or another. He
said frankly he saw no end
to our foreign aid. which is
scarcely encouraging to
Americans. He explained,
however. that a foreign aid
program is DO t h wise and
necessary; that from q mil
itary point of view and also
from a political point of view
such a program is Of real
value to the United States
in view of the struggle be-
tween the free world and the
Communist bloc.
Economic Growth Slow
In discussing his state
ment: There is no end in
sight Ito our foreign aid :"
DR.. Fitzgerald commented:
I say we are in for 1t for
a long time because, on the
one hand, our foreign policy
strategists will want to have
foreign aid available to meet
short term political crises,
and on the other, bona fide
economic growth is slow,
slow, slow. You've got to
start with training human
resources, and you've got to
get the human resources

gradually built up so that
the country can absorb cap
ital to the point where the
country is able, with reason
able management, to 60 on
its own" This, he said, means
Is years Of aid or more for
many countries. This de-
velopment process Is ex-
tremely essential In Latin
America, and particularly in
the nations Of Africa which
have recently become inde-
pendent.
Impossible Timetable"
Speaking of Latin America,
where President Kennedy has
launched the Alliance for
Progress, DR.. Fitzgerald
pointed out there is q great
deal to be accomplished. 1T
will take much more than q
decade and much more than
81 billion a year to fulfill the
initial goals of the Alliance"
he said. Among the problems
are reform of fiscal man.
agement taxes and tax
collection - more managerial
capacity to run reasonably
efficient government estab-
lishments. They are going to
have real trouble with this
Alliance for Progress" he
commented. THE objective Is
highly important to the
United States. but the time
table is impossible" This is
not reassuring in view Of the
fact that President Kennedy
Is counting greatly on the
Alliance program to bolster
the fight against commu-
nism in the Western Hemis-
phere, and particularly
against Fidel Castro and
Communist Cuba. But OBJ
viously. we will have to go
ahead with such an aid pro-
gram, and work to the end
that some day these coun-
tries to the south of us will
be able TO get on their own
feet and stay there.
Republican and Democra-
tic leaders on Capitol Hill
agree that the proposed for
eign aid program will be ma
terially slashed for the fiscal
year 1864 - probably to a
figure below last years APP
preparation for fiscal 1863
and perhaps as low as $3.7
billion. The argument is that,
with the expected tax reduc-
ton and q Federal deficit of
$ll to SIS billion. Congress
will seek to prune Govern
ment appropriations and ex-
penditures where they can.
And with an election coming
up, members of Congress will
prefer to cut spending for
foreign countries rather
than Federal spending for
their own districts and
States. Indeed. it is diff
cult and becoming more
difficult to make the
American people understand
why they should be taxed to
spend money on people who
live across the world from
us. and even for those closer
by. DR.. Fitzgerald. when
asked how to make foreign
aid popular with the public
and with Congress, replied:
i wish I knew"
