Secretary Of State Rusk
was frank In his admiration
for his Greek counterpart at
Ambassador and Mrs. Matsas'
dinner Wednesday.
Ambassador Matsas had
proposed a toast to EvAnge-
los Averoff- TossizSa, noting
with 4 smile that he had
checked on some facts. as
one does preparatory TO the
visit Of q foreign minister,
and he had discovered that
MFR. Averoff Tossizza had
started this week his eighth
year as minister Of foreign
affairs.
That's what happens he
added artfully, when you
have an inquisitive and con-
scientious ambassador"
Said Rusk when he rose TO
his feet. II have a personal
word Of awe and respect for
q colleague who has served
seven years because this Is q
hazardous occupation. I am
the 54th Secretary Of State
and we have had only IS
Presidents"
He praised the visitors
homeland and told him that
President de Gaulle had said
he was impressed with the
armed forces he saw in the
northern part Of Greecs
when he visited there.
In his remarks the visitor
spoke of the United States
as this great country TO
which my little country owes
50 much" And he proposed
q toast to the prosperity Of
this country. which means
prosperity for the whole free
world"
THE FAMILY OF AVER
OFF is one Of the most
distinguished In all Greece.
Although the name has q
Russian sound. it has been
identified with northern
Greece since the nth cen
tury. In this century Il Is
revered for several reasons.
The Foreign Minister'S
grandfather made a consider
able fortune abroad around
1900 and gave 10 his country
its biggest warship. plus hos
pitals. schools and = public
hall. He also restored the an
cient stadium for the first
Olympic games there in mod
ern times.
In recent years. through
the influence Of Evangelos
Averoff. q distant relative
named Tossizza who lived on
the Riviera. rebuilt the Greek
town Of Metzovo and out Of
gratitude the former added
Tossizza to his name.

A Questionable Odor

Chairman Fulbright Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has done
a commendable job in bringing to light
John A. ODonnell's lobbying activities
In connection with the $73 million
Philippine War Claims Act.
Mr.. ODonnell, lawyer Of good
repute, has played key role In bringing
about the enactment Of this legisla-
ton, which the President himself has
favored, in keeping with counsel from
the State Department Still, whatever
the merits of the bill, the fact remains
that Mr.. ODonnell's services have been
handsomely paid for by the Manila
government. And 1t also is fact that
he has contributed, in the process Of
his lobbying activities, $4,000 to the
campaign funds Of several members Of
Congress. Further, the record indicates
that he bought $4,000 worth Of tickets
TO the dinner celebrating Mr.. Kennedy's
1861 birthday anniversary.
In the world OF politics, all this
seems rather normal and not really out
rageous Nevertheless one must hope
that Mr.. Fulbright and his committee
will diligently pursue the matter and
get to the bottom of what may we'll
be malodorous mess.

Break With the Past

Too many months to remember
passed in heated debate before agree
ment was reached that new Federal
offices near independence avenue in
Southwest Washington should take the
form Of single vast, elevated structure,
780 feet long, stretching from Ninth to
Eleventh street and straddling the new
Tenth Street Mall Finally the COM
pleted design was submitted to the Fine
Arts Commission the other day by three
distinguished architectural firms. And
to listen to some of their remarks the
enthusiasm of commission members
seemed unbounded.
"It'S an ingenious, remarkable and
StupendouS building" said one.
It's concept Of making the building
float is magnificent" said another
tits very interesting" said third.
And fourth added: "We're unanimous
on that"-a comment suggesting that
perhaps this design at last had fulfilled
President Kennedy'S hope that the
architecture of future Federal office
buildings in Washington might reflect
"the finest contemporary American
thought"
Yet this extravagant praise was so
interlaced with miSgivingS that by the
end of its discussion the commission de-
ferred action-with the future prospects
dubious, to say the least.
Why? This is risky territory for
speculation by laymen. But the burden
of the commissions unrest seems to
hang on a feeling that contemporary
architecture in the Nations Capital
must somehow always be tempered Tor
maybe diluted is a more fitting word)
by the traditional architecture of the
past. Speaking to this point, one of the
designers Of the new building suggested
that one reason so few really fine"
Federal buildings. have gone up in
Washington in recent years is that new
departures" have been discouraged.
And is that not serious possibility?
Perhaps the imaginative new South
west design would be out of place If it
were located in the heart of monu-
mental area such as Capitol Hill-al-
though we doubt, on second thought,
that it would be less so than the massive
new Rayburn Office Building.

Art and the KremIin

Palmiro Togliatti, leader of Italy's
Communist Party, which is the most
populous in the free world, has parted
ways with Nikita KhruShchev in the
realm of art. He has declared, quite
bluntly, that his views differ draStically
from those of the Soviet Premier. AS he
has put it, mo one may impose from
above valid directions for the artist.
Nobody, no matter how capable and
shrewd he may be, should attempt to
tell an artist how to write poem, how
to create music or how to paint
Even though voiced by a militant
MarXiSt- these words come with
proper grace in an environment that
demands grace. What land, after all,
could be more artistic than Italy? In
deed, does it have any peer anywhere in
that respect? The questions answer
themselves. Mr.. Togliatti, we'll aware of
the Incompatible beauties of Rome,
Venice, Florence-to mention but few
Of his country's wonderS-has given Mr..
Khrushchev a sort of artistic caveat.
Certainly, especially since the Pope
may one day invite him to visit the over
powering precincts of the Vatican, the
Soviet Premier has reason to wonder
about his own thoughts on art and people
like Mr.. Togliatti. The latter is sensible
enough. Though a Communist, he real

Hall of Memories

Twenty years ago this month, fewer
than 1000 Jews launched an epic strug-
gle against Nazi might. Inspired to
give the saga of Passover a contempt
rary significance they rose in the War
saw ghetto and held off Hitler's army
for AZ days. To commemorate the cou-
rageous-though inevitably doomed
uprising, President Kennedy, at the in
stance of the 87th Congress, has desig-
mated today as Warsaw Ghetto Day.
Those who fought in the ghetto
were but a few of the 6 million Jewish
victims of Nazi tyranny. In commence
ration of the Warsaw uprising as well
as in memory of all the others who met
death in gas chambers and concentra-
ton camps, AdaS Israel Synagogue will
dedicate Hall of Memories tomorrow
night. Appropriately, the memorial it
self will be unveiled by the angel of
BelSen" whose 4-year-old son was taken
from her and killed, but who her
self went on to save nearly 100 other
children.
The observance at the synagogue
has more than local significance, not
only because the participants will in
clude the Israeli Ambassador, Supreme
Court justice, representative of the
President and a Senator who took part
in the prosecution at the Nuremberg
trials.
It's wider meaning at this season of
prayer for both Christians and Jews is
implicit in the motivation of the memo
rails donors, Texas couple who offered
the permanent memorial to the Syna-
gogue in the conviction that the world
must never forget the evils that flow
from bigotry and religious persecution.

Aid to Mississippi

The question was loaded, but the
President answered it directly and, we
thought, rather courageouSly.
A member at Fridays luncheon
meeting of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors asked Mr.. Kennedy
whether he would attempt to cut off
Federal aid to Mississippi, as proposed
by the Civil Rights Commission. In
substance, the President replied that
he didn't have this power and that he
didn't think any President should have
1t. We intellectually agree.
In the first place, a part, though
doubtless small part, of the Federal
money spent in Mississippi comes from
taxes paid by individuals and businesses
in that State. Why should they be
blocked out from sharing in their
own tax payments? Secondly, to stop
spending Federal money in Mississippi
would merely worSen economic condi-
lions there, especially for the colored
people. Finally, there is racial diScrimi-
nation in other places - Illinois and
Michigan, for example. There doubtless
are other practices in other States of
which some President or some pres
sure group, might diSapprove But should
a President have authority to use Fed
eral money to purchase progress in the
one instance or to penalize procrasti-
nation in the other? We doubt it very
much.
We are we'll aware that Negroes
have Scant patience with the make
haSte-Slowly approach to banning dis
elimination. The fact is, however, that
a great deal of progress, one might
say great extraordinary progress, has
been made in recent years. In MiSSis-
sippi and in some other Deep South
States, the pace has been slow. Still,
there has been progress even there,
and the pace will be faster in the future.
1t will come as appropriate pressure
is applied by the Executive, by the
courts, and, one may hope, by growing
public awarenesS that the white man
cannot continue to discriminate in
public matters against the black man.
We do not believe this can or should
come about through misuse of public
money by President. And If this was
the sense of his answer, we applaud
Mr.. Kennedy'S response to the question
on Mississippi.

Attacking Dependency

The District Department of Voca-
tional Rehabilitation has an important
role to play in helping handicapped re-
lief recipients gain employment or train
ing which eventually will reduce their
need for dependency. Under arrange
mentS now existing between this agency
and the Welfare Department, however,
several months often elapSe before new
recipients come to the attention of the
DVR. And that span OF time frequently
is sufficient for the handicap to have
deteriorated, for the desire for work to
have dwinded and for the recipient to
have become pleasantly accustomed to
his monthly relief check
In an effort to improve this service,
DVR Director Norman w. Pierson is
seeking funds from Congress to assign
a very small vocational rehabilitation
staff to work directly with handicapped
welfare recipients from the very mo-
ment that they 90 on the welfare rolls.
At the outset, the program would be
purely experimental initially costing
about $4,000 for additional! personnel.
This amount is very modest in contrast
to the cost OF some proposals which, in
the name Of encouraging rehabilitation
and self-suffciency seem far less
promising. The effort proposed by Mr..
Pierson is only a start. Eventually, how
ever, why could this approach not be
broadened beyond the physically or men
tally handicapped? Why would 1t not
be feasible to make eligibility for public
assistance contingent upon the estab-
