On Aid to India

Some Of midas officials, not to
mention the vituperative Khrishna Mem
on, are VIGOROUSLY gifted in the art Of
rubbing America the wrong way. The
latest case in point is the press confer
ence just staged in New Delhi by Chi
dambara Subramaniam, Minister of
Steel and Heavy Industry.
Let US consider Just a few Of his
remarks. In quite unpleasant lectur-
ing tone, he has declared that unless the
United States forthwith, without further
delay, forks up nearly 81 billion to equip
India with steel plant at Bokaro, all
our past American aid to that country
lover 81 billion) will be spoiled" That
is to say, the Indian people expect our
country to keep on Showering them with
largeSS. Otherwise they will look down
their noses at us, turn to Moscow and
forget all about the enormous amount
OF assistance we have extended to them
ever since they attained their independ-
ence.
Minister Subramaniam also has seen
fit to observe that he is not sure that
India, even If we invest about 81 billion
in the project, will want, as our top
authorities recommend, to have the Be-
karo plant managed by American steel
specialists until the Indians themselves
are capable Of running it. Thus in a
rather patronizing manner, while vir-
tually demanding that we finance the
project, he has let us know that he has
an "open mind" on the matter and
might possibly go along with the idea Of
letting some of our top executives help
in managing the show.
Reports from New Delhi indicate
that Prime Minister Nehru and other
high Indian officials have been embar-
raised by Mr.. Subramaniam's almost
unbelievably impolitic remarks. Small
wonder. After all, how can our aid be
effective If people like him are in charge
of it?

Report on q Tour

Together with the others who trav-
eled with him there, Chairman Seaborg
Of the Atomic Energy Commission has
returned from his official tour OF the
Soviet Union with sort OF kaleidoscope
Of impressions. But his report stresses
these two facts particularly: (1) Despite
new wave OF propaganda warning
Russians against being kind or hos
pitable to Westerners, he and his party
we're given the red-carpet treatment,
including a wraps-off inspection tour.
And (2) they have come back home with
the conviction that the Soviets are doing
first-rate job-as good as ours In most
respects, and conceivably better In GER
tain fields-in Harvesting the atom for
peaceful uses.
Our country has tended to under
estimate the Russians In all sorts Of
enterprises, military and non-military.
But we have had our eyes opened by
such things as their space shots. They
obviously merit our respect In that field
and the field OF the atom. DR.. Seaborg
has made that much very clear, and It
is good to know that our two countries
are signatories TO an agreement TO pro-
mote cooperation In the peaceful uses
OF nuclear energy. Maybe we can move
forward from there TO something much
bigger.

No FEC Gar, Please

Recent history offers little reason
to suppose that the Federal Communi-
cations Commission Shakeup proposed
by the retiring chairman, Newton N.
Minow, will ever get off the ground
AS parting shot, Mr.. Minow suggested
to President Kennedy that the agency
would function more efficiently II
single administrator replaced the pres
ent Seven-man commission.
Well-intended as 1t may be, the
idea is neither new nor, we think, in
the best interest of the public or those
industries in the purview of FEC. Mr..
Minow's reasoning that clearer policy
could be laid down by one man may
be right as far as it goes. But the ques-
ton is, what manner of clear policy?
One administrators sound practices
might be Summarily undone by a mis-
chievouS successor.
The opportunities presented to a
power-grabbing car are too obvious
for comment. And despite the nasty
things people say about committees; it
is yet to be proved that one mans de-
ciSions, extended over long series of
problems, are apt to be an improve
ment on those of group freely ex-
changing ideas. After all, the airways
belong to the people. They deserve to
be represented by a wide spectrum
of thinking, and protected by natural
checks and balances.
Mr.. Minow's idea Of setting up an
administrative court within the FEC, to
apply policies laid down by the admin
1strator, also sounds dubious. He seems
attracted to the idea that such a court,
given clear directives and having built
body Of precedent, could perform with
consistency in, for instance, the grant,
ing Of broadcaSting licenses.
With too much consistency, we fear.
One of the things the broadcaSting in
dustry needs is little variety, little
individualiSm, in its practitioners. A syS-
TEN which produced more uniformity
would be no improvement at all.

On the Avenue

No one can accuse the Presidents
Advisory Council on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. of reneging on its pledge to be
imaginative" At first glance its pro-
poSalS, including the conversion of the
entire area north Of the avenue to F
street between Thirteenth and the
Treasury Department to kind of park
ike mall, almost Stagger the magma
ton.
So it is no wonder that members of
the National Capital Planning Commits
sion were, as Chairman Elizabeth Rowe
kindly put it, "a bit startled" And
there is another entirely plausible rea-
son why they were.
For the traditional city-planner ap-
proach is more cautious. It relates such
a project as improving the north side
OF Pennsylvania avenue to great many
factors, not the least of which are the
practical feasibility of what is proposed
and the relationship of the improved
area to all the rest of downtown Wash
ington. The planner-technician would
likely have enviSioned a more gradual,
OF the avenue, within a framework of
general goals for development-wh
is, after all, the manner in which cities
for the most part do change and grow.
The architects approach is quite
different. His concern is with the grand
design. He tends to see his project
more or less as an entity. And he is
less likely (when he is not bound by the
economic limits of client) to be unduly
worried about the economic or other
practical aspects of the situation. In
this case, furthermore, the advisory
councils focus Of attention is PennSyl-
vania avenue only, and particularly
its ceremonial function as the Nations
No. l parade ground. What abuts the
avenue, in this context, becomes almost
exclusively a setting for the avenue
itself.
This does not notwithstanding our
analysis is correct-that the Advisory
Council is all wrong. After all, the
architectural concept which resulted
years ago in the Federal Triangle to the
south of Pennsylvania avenue was
scarcely less drastic in its time than
what the council seems to have in mind
today. And we agree heartily with its
conclusion that the solid phalanx of
fortreSs-like Government buildings in
the Triangle should not be repeated on
the north.
But we are amazed that the council
even considered transmitting its ideas
to the President in their present pre-
natal form. AS a result of the Planning
Com missions reaction, Nathaniel
OwingS, the council chairman, now SAYS
1t will be November or December before
the details are talked out We should
think 1T would be at least that long.
AS they are generally described, the
first conclusions of the council are too
tentative and unSpecific to be ade-
quately evaluated by anyone.
The chance of doing something
really grand with Pennsylvania avenue
and its northern environS rests largely
on the strong personal interest which
the President has taken in the project.
He will not have enough to work with,
however, If the councils proposal should
turn out to be merely grandioSe.

Pro Bono Profumo

The British press needs no help from
us in exploring the dangers and degra-
dations Of the Profumo case. Our Fleet
Street cousins have been quick to point
out that sharing the favors of a favored
cherie with the Soviet naval attache is
no job for a British War Secretary.
Others have insisted that Prime Minis
ter Macmillan, who three months ago
defended Profumo, must have been
either a fool or knave. Still others,
building on that foundation, have called
for Mr.. Macmillan's resignation, fore
shadowing yet another transition for
President Kennedy to visit or, alterna-
lively, giving him more time for Ireland,
where this kind of thing doesn't happen.
With the anti-Profumo forces so well
mustered, let us catch up, assisted by
the perspective of 5000 miles, on the
brighter side Of the revelations, the pro-
Profumo case.
From an American point Of view,
how happy 1t is that Mr. Profumo and
Miss Keeler met each other on the estate
OF Lord Aston, one of the very few names
OF the British Peerage that means some
thing over here. II indeed 1t develops
that Mr. Profumo mislaid some state
secrets, how comforting II will be to note
that he had to go and lose them at the
Astors'.
Then there is Dr. Stephen Ward, the
fashionable osteopath, precisely the oc-
cupation Agatha Christie would have
chosen. Sweeping beyond Miss Christie
to the uplands Of Eric Amber, DR.. Ward
may well turn out to be a double agent,
possibly even a triple-agent. For the
one thing clear about his role is that,
having introduced Mr.. Profumo and Miss
Keeler, he informed on them to the
British security agency. AS an osteo-
path, presumably, he made no bones
about II but reported that the king
dom's security was out Of Joint.
Finally while yielding TO no one
in our condemnation Of adulterous in
trigues and even Of pinches at parties,
we confess TO nostalgia relief on hear
ing that British security may have been
endangered by an old-fashioned liber-
tine with an eye for a bit OF skirt. It's

THE POLITICAL MILL
JFK on Peace at Home and Abroad
By GOULD LINCOLN

President Kennedy, in the
course Of "a hours, made i'm
portanC announcements on
the most pressing issues. for
eign and domestic, confront
ing the American people. Is
sues that are both serious and
emotional. In those pro-
nouncements he urged the
use Of peaceful and legal
means to solve the problems
which are dividing the free
world and the Communist
world and the white and Ne
gro races in the United
States. The alternatives, as
he pointed out, could be nu-
clear humiliation for both
the free and Communist
worlds on the foreign front,
and interracial bloodshed and
increased hatreds In t he
United States. The President
spoke strongly in his gen.
eral theses, and persuasively.
He also made specific recon-
mendations. To the mayors
Of our cities, meeting in Hon.
olulu, he recommended a five
point program to reduce ra-
cial tensions and to help the
cause of civil liberties.
Goal on A-Tests
Addressing American Uni
versity students here on the
subject of international rela-
tons and peace, he advanced
proposals for better under
standing and better commu-
nications with the Kremlin
- and the Russian people.
Specifically. he announced he
was tackling the issue of a
nuclear test ban treaty with
high level discussions in Mos
COW, under an agreement with
Soviet Premier Khrushchev of
Russia and Prim e Minister
Macmillan of Great Britain.
And he declared, as an EVIL
dence of good faith on the
part Of the United States,
that this country docs not
propose to conduct nuclear
tests in the atmosphere so
long as other states do not
do So" Such a treaty the
President regards as a first
long and important step to-
ward the goal of world dis
armament and peace.
The President has been I'M
der fire in this country on
the civil rights (for Negroes)
issue and on his foreign poll
icieS. Negro leaders attack
him on the groun d that he
has dragged his feet, has not
provided the leadership in the
fight for civil rights he
should have. Similar criticism
has been aimed at him by
Republican opponents. But
the President in his talk to
the mayors declared that
THE time for token moves
and idle talk is over" while
calling for increased local
responsibility in meeting ra-
cial disturbances in Northern
and Southern cities. He has
already pledged the power of
the Federal Government to
deal with any disturbances
which get out of hand.
There is a responsibility on

heavy has this drain become
that 1t has been the subject
Of a critical House of Com
mons debate. Salaries in the
United States are well above
those paid in Great Britain
and this, plus the easy access
to firSt-rate public schools
in scientific centers, proves
a powerful attraction to SCI
entists graduating from Eng
lish schools and, Of course,
for those already at work but
looking for more opportunity.
There is a third magnet for
this latter group. United
States research laboratories
are more elaborate and offer
the British researchers lux
uries Of equipment not read
lily available at home.
Challenge for Business
Leaders Of American in
dustry, already established in
foreign fields, are saying
privately that United States
business has for a long time
been living on its fat and
must now stop whining and
complaining and really COM
pete. Research is the key to
world market competition.
No magazines today offer
more fascinating reading
than those representing the
major industries - steel,
chemical, oil. and so on.
The May 20 issue Of the
m Woodworking weekly,
Steel" leads with an article
on cold casting Of steel, titled
Gold Forming Puts Heat on
Costs" 1t is typical Of the
new APPROACH to world trade
conditions.
Gold forming Of small

the part of the Negroes and
their leaders, to prevent vio-
lence and to pursue their de-
mands for deSegregation In
all parts of the country In y
legal and peaceful way. 1t
comes i'll from DR.. Martin Lu-
ther King, for example, to
deliver an attack on President
Kennedy for not throwing his
full weight, as President. be-
hind the civil rights struggle.
DR.. King, a leader Of peace
full demonstrations, including
marches and sit-ins, himself
jailed a number of times, has
found the President willing
to aid many times. The Pres
ident is giving intensive con-
sheraton to the proposal for
additional civil rights legisla-
ton. On a television program
Sunday DR.. King suggested
that q massive march on
Washington by Negroes and
their white supporters might
now be in order - even sit
ms in Congress, in the Capt.
toll Of the United States - in
order to get favorable action
on the civil rights measures
the Negroes support. Other
Negro leaders, including Roy
wilkins of the NAACP and
Whitney M. Young, jr., of the
National Urban League, were
equally, and even more criti-
cal Of President Kennedy. Mr..
Young charged that the Ken
nedy administration is "reac-
ting and not acting" on racial
problems. He added that what
good relations between the
races means in Washington
is, mot the presence Of JUS
tice and true democracy,
but how it can keep the peo-
pie from revolving and thus
embarrassing it."
Threats Harmful
The drive for civil rights
and cessation of discrimina-
ton against the Negro has
aroused great sympathy and
support among the people.
There has been an increas-
ing breakthrough and deseg-
regation of many facilities,
both public and private in
both the South and the North.
But this sympathy could be
cooled, If many Of the threats
now emanating from Negro
leaders are continued and are
followed by action. Nor does
1t help the situation to have
Negroes who have taken adj
vantage of the opportunities
offered them for education
and economic advancement to
be now attacked by others Of
their race as traitors" or
Uncle Toms" when they ask
for reasonable and negotiated
agreements. Nor does it help
the cause of civil rights and
desegregation to have Negro
demands. not for equal treat
ment, but for preferred treat
ment, in matters of education
and job ALLEGATION. If there
are to be peaceful relations
between the two races, as the
President has urged, the Ne
groes as well as the whites
must work at it - and hard.

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
Research Key to Lead in Science
BY RALPH McGILL

Where does the United
States stand in the general
field Of science?
First" says the May II
issue Of the magazine, Science,
published by the American
Association for the Advance
ment Of Science. But the lead
is slim, and it is being re-
duced.
Who is breathing on our
scientific neck?
Not the Russians. Their
ability to launch missiles has
been misinterpreted, says
Science, as indicating super
iority over the United States
in scientific matters. Actual
ly there are few areas in
science in which the Russians
excel. 1t is Of interest, ("
the magazine says editorially,
TO compare American and
Russian competition in world
markets in items involving
science and technology. BY
this yardstick the Soviet
Union is a third class power.
It is no match for Western
Europe, the United Kingdom
or Japan"
The japanese are Compel
Ing in chronological areas re-
quiring first class scientific
competence. Their electronic
products, says Science, such
as transistor radios and tele-
vision sets. are selling for less
than ours on our own soil.
To this the stock retort is
that the Japanese have
cheap labor.
Science says that to a de-
gree their success reflects
cheaper labor, but only in
part. 1.-THE production OF
transistors and other solid
state electronics components

azine article. Sophisticated
technology. Even the cheap
est labor Is no substitute for
scientific ability in this

Europe Moving Up
Western Europeans long
ago demonstrated they had

Western Europe has two
