This country'S problem in
dealing with Castro Cuba has
now been further bedeviled
by an extraordinarily ham,
handed action within the
United Nations.
A u. N. sub-organization
called the Special Fund has
chosen this untimely hour
in history to award a $1.2
million United Nations agri-
cultural aid project to Fidel
Castro. The United States Of
America provides 40 per cent
of the total financial support
Of this fund, of which the
managing director, Paul @.
Hoffman, is himself an
American.
This economic assistance
to Mr.. Castro, though no
doubt small in the great
scheme Of things, comes pre-
cisely at the moment when
the highest American policy
is directed to the economic
destruction of Cuba as an
open Soviet military base and
a lodgment for Soviet Com
munist penetration in this
hemisphere.
It also comes precisely at
the moment when American
efforts are directed to ex-
planning to other nations in
Latin America that Mr.. Cas-
tro is an outlaw and that
anti-Americanism is not a
useful line to take up in this
hemisphere. In short, this
project could not possibly
have been approved at a time
more embarrassing to the
United States and more suit
able to Mr.. CaStro's book.
Mr.. Hoffman is quoted in
the curious argument that,
anyhow, the money which
will go to Mr.. Castro will
not come directly" from
American contributions. But
this absurd and tasteless
affair mocks our whole posi-
ton that Castro Cuba is a
consistent threat to what the
U. N. is supposed to be, an
organization opposed to both
open and covert aggression.
State Department Warning
The very note Of our State
Department "regretting" this
action calls attention to
Cuba's persistent policy Of
hostility toward its neigh
bors." 1t declares, moreover,
that Cuba's support Of sub
version throughout the hem
isphere precludes the eStab-
lishment there of the normal
cooperative relations neces-
sary to the implementation
Of a United Nations project. "

The British Crown Colony

attic Sea, was divided between
Italy and Yugoslavia. Italy
assumed the administration
Of Zone A. the city and har-

In some cases where builders have tried
to put new streets through Garrett Park, the
tOwnspeOple, who pay property taxes to the
town for upkeep of streets, have protested be-
fore the Montgomery County COuncil-and
won. Efforts of a builder to get grade crossing
over the tracks into Garrett Park several
years ago were turned down by the council
Since the B&0 railroad runs down one side of
Garrett Park, the tOwnsfolk are heartily in
accord with this policy.
Wed have to cut down half the fine elms
in town, make the streets unsafe for our chill

GARRETT PARK

Garrett Parks bi-weekly mimeographed news
paper, the BIgIe Established in 1854 by Clyde
Hall, public relations director of the National
Science Foundation, the BuCIe carries the
motto "VOx CLAIMANTS in deserto," or Voice
crying in the wilderness"
Garrett Park is the sort of place where you
don't have to lock your car, but police and fire
protection are maintained through Bethesda,
and the Town Council handles what little van
dalism there is. Town children 60 to school at
Garrett Park Elementary through the first six
grades, then off to junior high school in Ken
Singt0n, high school in Bethesda.
Our problems, essentially, are the at
tempt without being selfish, to maintain Gar
rett Park as q community rather than as just
another subdivision" says Mr. Janney.
I'VE have q elosely-knit and interdepend-
ent group here" says Mayor Edward Fried
man, who is counsel to a Senate labor sub
committee. Some Of them may not see each
other for few months at time, but sound the
alarm and they'll get together"
One of the problems which has gotten Gar
rett Parkers together in stormy, late-intothe-
night Citizens Association and Town Council
meetings is roads.
Bordering communities where large-scale
builders have not provided their own access to
highways often try to build roads through Gar
rett Park to get to the main highways Rock
vile pike or Connecticut avenue-but the
town firmly resists these attempts.
Symbols of this resistance are the wooden
barbados at the ends of most of Garrett
Parks dead-end streets. Some, such as the bar
ricade on KenilwOrth street, were put up more
than 10 years ago. The barricade on Weymouth
street was put up few months ago.

as in the steel mesh backs of
chairs and steel tubing in the
tables. The furniture has a del
icate appearance, but it is con-
structed as strong as a bridge.
To exploit fully the beauty
of iron and steel furniture, Ar
kus offered these decorating
suggestions:
When used indoors or out,
keep walls and fences either
white or natural, such as brick
or wood. Let the furniture and
upholstery supply the color.
. With iron and steel furni.
ture color schemes can be
changed at will. When the
furniture is sandblasted by the
manufacturer, it gives it an
ideal surface for paint. Spray
on a different coat of paint,
change the fabric and your
furniture is entirely different.
Table tops of glass, plastic
or marble take the worry out
Of splitting beverages. Co-ordi.
nate your mats or napkins to
the upholstery. Try an impu-
dent pink with "bullfighter'
orange, luscious blue with sum-
mer green or a hot yellow with
a flamboyant red.
To complete the setting
accessorize with iron and steel
candelabras, bird cages. maya.

Maryland Bill
Bans Under-18

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. II (Spe-
ciaD A bill to get under-1S
drivers off Maryland roads at
night has been introduced in

Sponsored by Senator James
A. Pine, Democrat of Baltimore
County, the bill would set up
a new classification of licenses
called Junior operators IL
censes."
Persons between the ages of
16 and 10. could get only the
junior license which would
limit them to driving during
the daytime unless they we're
accompanied by a parent.
The restriction would not apply
if the youngster were on the
way to or from school.
Under present law, young
sters are eligible for a regular
drivers license when they are
16.
