Downtown Renewal

A year ago the urgently needed Dis
trict legislation to authorize the use Of
urban renewal powers in commercial
areas passed the House in a breeze and
fell apart in the Senate District Com
mittee. Now the Senate committee has
vigorously Endorsed the measure and the
greatest hurdle to its enactment appears
ironically to be in the House.
The reason for this doubt lies en-
tirely in the fact that the House District
Committee is currently conducting a
lengthy and somewhat disconnected in
quiry into virtually every aspect Of the
Washington renewal program, with en-
phasis on specific projects proposed or
under way. This inquiry, however,
should not be allowed to interfere with
the simple Qualification Of law embodied
in the Senate bill. This legislation is
the key to our Downtown Progress"
plan. It is vital to Washington. 1t
already has been carefully considered
by the House committee. And 1t would
do no more than give to the District
the same right which nearly every other
major American city already possesses
to utilize urban renewal as one of the
necessary tools to revtalize its old and
deteriorating commercial areas.

The results are most happy and

Finally, we are happy TO report, she
seems TO be restrained from the un-
pleasant habit Of barnyard cannibalism.
Well, Mr.. Schriner is not stopping
there. He already is thinking Of turkeys
and pigs with contact lenses. Soon the
entire animal world could be wearing
rose-tinted specs. And that could make
1t so peaceful with the so-called lower

would stand out more hastily than ever.

Ars Gratis

We welcome the Presidents creation
Of an Advisory Council on the Arts. Car
rying on the work begun by August
Heckscher as White House conSultant on
the arts, the council, composed Of the
heads Of relevant departments and 80
art-involved citizens, may be expected
to produce about 40 times as many lee
lures on art as Mr.. Heckscher did. The
overall quality of the rhetoric will prob
ably not be as high as his, but certainly
more listeners can be reached. i,
viii the council do anything elsep
1t seems unlikely. For the hard fact is
that for Government to discharge its
responsibilities to the arts, it has to
spend money on them. While every ma
jor and middle-Sized country in the
world does that, no American admin
iStration in over 20 years has been will
ing to do so. The New Frontiers cele-
brated concern for the arts has so far
been limited to expressions Of esteem
and to upgrading the after-dinner enter
tainment at the White House.
If anyone connected with the new
enterprise is really serious about it, there
is one obvious place to begin. The armed
services and the space agency all have
art programs based on coming artists
into working without pay. This deplor-
able practice should be reformed at once.
1t may be true that America is not yet
ready to join the rest Of civilization in
public support for art, but giant step
forward would be to stop Government
free-loading on artists.

Kennedy's Overseas Trip

the Papacy, only the most
credulously silly would be-
lieve that the President had
come over to hover around
the Vatican, lobbying for
some private candidate for
the succession to the noble
Pope John.
AS to the racial issue at
home, to call off this Presi-
dental mission on the theory
that the President should
remain here instead and
make some theatrical per-
sonal gesture at some school,
house or lunchroom sit-in
would be folly beyond COM
prehension.
Those who urge such O
tasteless course in political
hucksterism are unmindful
Of more than simply the
gross hazards Of exposing the
dignity Of the Presidential
office to street scenes of
disorder and violence.
What do these people-who
endlessly yammer that we
must at all times pay heed
to world opinion"-suppose
world opinion" would be in
these circumstances?
World opinion" - and
even rational and respon-
sible world opinion, for that
matter-would conclude that
this Nation stood so close
to anarchy that the Presi-
dent Of the United States
dared not leave its borders.
Germany Indispensable
AS to West Germany, the
United States many years
ago adopted her as an ally,
for the plain and single
reason that she is indispen-
sable in the great contest
with the Soviet Union.
This Is q decision long
made. To attempt in effect
to reverse 1t now would be
madness. Nobody knows this
better than. for example, the
Israelis-who have. Heaven
knows, quite enough reason
to remember the old Ger
many.
The bottom truth is that
those who are 50 full Of
protests" at this Presidential
visit to our Western Allies
would be caroling joyfully
about II the President were
going hat in hand, say, to
neutralist India or, better
yet. to some pompous con-
clave Of African leaders" in

dent Sukarno, who recently played host
to Red China's chief of state, has long
been acting the role Of "neutralist"
in the cold war. In the proceSs-up to
now, that is-he has given every indica-
ton Of being more prof. Communist than
provost. But today, even though it
may be a mirage, everything looks re-
markedly different.
Maybe Red China's attack on India
accounts for the phenomenon. In any
case, whatever the reason, "nehtralist"
DR.. Sukarno now has seen fit to align
himself with the altogether anti-Com-

Order Must Prevail

The Supreme Court did not say why
1t refused last week to dissolve tempo
rary State court injunction banning
mass demonstrations in Jackson, MiSsis-
sippi, without permit.
In its appeal, the NAACP said the
injunction had been issued without
notice, that it forbade the right of
peaceful protest" and that 1t con-
stituted a gross denial of constitutional
rights.
1t seems clear, however, that the
danger Of large-Scale violence in Jack
son Is very real. And in the face of a
clear and present danger, the Federal
authority should not be used to make
1t impossible for local authorities to
take all reasonable measures to prevent
violence. To be sure, this may entail an
impairment of what otherwise would be
conStitutionally protected rights. One is
reminded, however, of Justice Holmes
admonition that the constitutional right
of free speech does not include the right
to shout fire in crowded theater

Informed Of this, Brig. Gen. George
Gelston, Governor Tawes' representative
and commander of military units in

Sukorno, Westward Ho?

1t seems only yesterday that Indo-
nesia and the Philippines were bitterly
opposing the projected formation of the
Federation Of Malaysia. But now they
have worked out with Malaga, the fed
eration'S heart, complete agreement
on how to resolve problems of common
concern arising out Of the proposal to
establish" the new nation in the weeks
Immediately ahead.
This is encouraging news. What It
means, II words may be taken at face
value, is that the federation will be al
lowed to come into being without any
violent counteraction, verbal or other
wise, by the Indonesians or the Filipinos
as regards certain territorial claims they
have In Malaysia. Instead, the claims
will be submitted to a kind Of interna-
tional arbitration board, whose findings
all parties concerned have apparently
agreed to accept.
Even more significant, however, is
the fact that the accord reached by the
three countries at their ministerial
meeting in Manila includes provisions
aimed at working out a pact OF mutual
defense against "subversion in any form
or manifestation" Indonesia, the Phil
ippines and Malaya-especiall the lat
ter-have very large numbers Of Chinese
in their population, and they are wor-
ried about how Communist China, which
seems eager to gobble up everything in
that part Of the world, might be able TO
use these people to promote It's expan-
sionist ambitions. Hence, in effect, the
Manila agreement on this matter
amounts to a sort OF alliance against

Wonted-A Good Job

President Kennedy has been meet
ing in private with large group Of labor
leaders in an effort to pierce the barriers
which stand between Negroes and good
jobs. We wish the President every sue
cess, and we hope that some good results
will come out Of this undertaking, as
well as other efforts which he has been
making. -~---...-
OF more immediate interest, how
ever, is news report from our reporter,
Lee Cohn, to the effect that the national
construction unions are putting the heat
on their locals, particularly in Washing
ton, to cease and deSiSt from practices
which for many years have barred quail
fled Negroes from jobs on local building
projects.
The practical result Of this national
union proposal, as we understand 1t, is
to make the contractor responsible for
deciding whether an applicant for job,
white or colored, has the requisite quail
ficationS. If the contractor decides that
a Negro is qualified, he will hire him.
And the local union, under the national
union edict, must accept the Negro for
membership in the local.
1t is not our purpose to suggest that
this, alone, will solve the problem Of
discrimination. But 1t is a big, and
maybe giant, step forward. For 1t is
our idea that most Negroes, when things
shake down, will be more interested in
an equal shot at Jobs for which they are
qualified than in any Of the rights
currently at issue.

that the President at any rate
should not visit Germany.

The fact is that for the
