Financial Aid To Impacted Area Schools
Depends Upon Civil Rights Legislation

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. II
Schools packed with govern
ment-connected students can ex-
pect no federal money under the
impacted areas aid program I'M
til after Congress passes a civil
rights bill unless Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell (D-NY) has a
change of heart.
A bill providing such financial
felp for another year is row
tynled in the House Rules
Committee over an amendment
by Powell specifying that no
federal funds 60 to segregated
schools for operation or new
construction.
And the Harlem Negro Con-
gresham, CHI al r m In of the
House Education Committee,
says he will continue to insist
on retention of that amendment
until the same sort of artiseg-
regation guarantee is provided
in civil rights legislation or I'm
der some other bill covering the
education area.
That now seems certain to de-
lay authorization of any impact
ed areas money at least until
early winter because even the
most sanguine of civil rights
hackers does not expect final
action on such legislation until
Thanksgiving or later.

Wheat And Politics

TllE Kennedy brothers are known for
playing touch football But what
many voters did not realize three years
ago, was the * brothers would play
football with anything that came
along This il Just about what has hap
pened in the wheat program. The mil

pressed into a small spherical OBJ ect.
commonly called political football"
TO understand the situation, we must
90 back to the spring. when the farmers
Of America turned thumbs down on the
strictly regimented wheat program
being advocated bv President Kennedy
The President has said he will not come
forward with another program to help
the wheat farmers. But he is not to be
judged fool. he knows his politics.
If the wheat situation turns bad next
year. if might prove that he is smarter
than the farmers. He can come back to
the farm states with that famous old

is, that would lose him more votes than
it would gain III the November election
Of 1864 and the President can't af-

On the other hand he could come
back 70 the farmers now with reason
able wheat program. and why he
doesn't 40 it is beyond Us A reasonable
wheat program would help him in the
election next year, but apparently he
is lust too stubborn to admit that his
program Was wrong and admit the
farmers know more than he does
So What Is the Presidents solution?
One step he figures to help the wheat
surplus will he 10 sell it to Russia. The
only objection to this is that the United
States for Il number Of years has strong

Mr.. Gattshall thinks it is time for Wash
ington to quit trying to control production
and set the price of wheat

Washington said Mr.. Gattshall. "Since
voted against Kennedys wheat plan
they keep saying: What's wrong with those
farmers. what do they wanto I'll tell you
what some of us want We don't want any

Mr. Gattshall is among those who think
wheat will not go below S15O bushel, even
if there is no bailOut program passed by
Congress. But he added this: Il want to
make one thing clear I'm not afraid of the

A number of sources. mostly those
spoon-fed from the White House say
the wheat deal is ''one-shot" agree
ment with Russia. However The Allen
Scott Report (Which The Herald car
ries as syndicated column) has this
to say. (and we place more faith in
Allen-Scott than in the other sources) /:
BUTTERING THEIR BREAD ~ The
wheat sale to Russia is only starter.
Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman
has told the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee that the Soviet has put out feelers
for permission to buy surplus butter. cheese
and dried milk from the L. S. at bargain
prices.
Under government supported price for
dairy farmers, the Agriculture Department
has acquired stocks Of butter, cheese and
dried milk at heavy costs
At present, butter stock total $50 million
pounds, for which the Commodity Credit
Corporation paid SO cents pound The U.
5. offers this surplus butter for sale abroad
through private traders. at &c cents a
pound. Hence. the subsidy averages 81
cents pound.
Butter in Russia today costs around 81
a pound. making the highly subsidized u

bosses.
Like the wheat deal Freeman reports
that the President is ready to approve the
dairy sales.
It is also interesting to note that tn,
sale OF wheat to Russia costs the Ameri
can taxpayer around so cent per bushel
The price paid to U. S. farmers is peg
ged by the Government pricesuppor
program. 1t is higher than the worlc
price. Therefore, if the IT, S. is to sci

subsidy. In recent weeks, this subsid,
has been running 50 to SO cents a bu

payers would provide a subsidy 0.

In a Nutshell

For the first time in long time,
voice from Africa has spoken out I'M
equivocally against the Chinese Com
muniStS. Addressing himself to the Gen
eral Assembly, President Ahmadou
Ahidjo Of CAMERON has assailed them
as dangerous aggressors who have no
right to be seated as members Of the
United Nations.
AS Mr.. Ahidjo has put 1t, the Al
bantam proposal for such a seating is
altogether out Of order for this very
simple reason; Red China does not quail
ify, in terms Of the q. N. Charter, as a
peace-loving state. 1t is supremely bel
licose. It glories in strife wherever 1t
can stir it up. 1t is responsible, by way
OF example, for the tensions that keep
everything terribly taut, to the explo-
sion point, in places like the Indian
frontier, Korea, Laos and Wet Nam.
Mr.. Ahidjo has dumped the whole
dreary business into a NUTSHELL cap
sule condemnation of Picking so simple
and effective that nobody can challenge
it with much force. The President of
CAMERON merits commentator. Let's
hope that other members of the Afro
Asian bloc will follow his lead.

Got q Totem Pole?

When Northwood High
School was built at Silver
Spring in 1856 its student
body was dubbed the North

The Northwood Student
Congress and the graduating
class Of 1864 feel that we
have been without a suitable
symbol too long. and have
asked me to represent them
IN finding one. An Indian
totem pole, permanently
placed in our courtyard,
would, we believe, express the
academic and athletic spirit
of the "Northwood Indians"
The trouble is, totem poles
are hard to find around here.
My inquiries to the Smith
sonian Institute, Bureau of
Indian Affairs and Senator
Bartlett Of Alaska were lis
tened to sympathetically,
with promises Of any possible
help but so far I have not
gotten beyond the point that
totem poles are ID scarce

Nurses in Tights

Every pink-blooded, weak-pulsed,
unvirile British male must have perked
up at the news that London hospitals
soon will feature nurses CARRIED in
form-fitting black tights. These are
conditions which could make hospitals
so popular no night club could COM
pete with them.
Nurses In tights! Oh, delirious
dream: A whole chorus line of them
bouncing into the room Rockette fash
ion, with Thermometers, pills, orange
juice and fresh flowers And the cute
little blonde on the end mummuring:
Back rub, honey?" Insurance rates
are bound to double overnight
1t is too good to be true; there has
to be catch. And of course there
is. The fancy tights are to be worn
under uniforms in lieu of stockings
and pantieS. Drafty halls, you know.
But all the news is not bad, chaps.
Uniform lengths are going up from

Zoninq Values

At a recent hearing before
the Montgomery County
Council on q rezoning appli-
cation, I was struck by recur-
rent questions as to the wal
ue" Of the tract for which
rezoning from residential to
commercial was sought.
To emphasize the value" Of
the tract is, I believe, to in
vite the error of coming for
profit instead of for land use.
The price for which q given
tract could be sold may we'll
vary with It's coming classifi-
cation. There may according
ly be profit from purchase
under one classification, and
sale at another. The entire
preneur has no real COM
plant II he must sell at the
same classification at which
he bought. This is a risk he
assumed at time of purchase.
OF graver concern should
be that as profit-or value"
is realized from reZoning,
losses fall on others. These
losses fall, first, on nearby
homeowners, and, ultimately,
on the entire community, as
good residential areas are
downgraded to accommodate
commercialization.

This Is Practicable?

AS part Of his search for a "prac-
ticable" solution on Bethesda traffic
problems, ]. Newton Brewer, the chair
man Of the Montgomery Planning Board,
has announced public hearing for
December 10 on possible freeway
route along the Potomac River from the
Capital beltway to the District.
Mr.. Brewer has got to be kidding.
While county highway planners
have not yet described the route, the
word is that they are thinking of a six
lane freeway alongside Macarthur bou-
levard. Only a stones throw away, a
little closer to the river, construction
already Is well along on the George
washington Memorial parkway, which
ultimately will be four-lane divided
road connecting with the District sys-
tenn.
The vision Of these two massive
roads, side by side, with Macarthur
boulevard in between, is silly enough.
If that can be forgotten, the problem
remaining is where all these cars (plus
those from the proposed Three Sisters
BRIDGE would 60 after they hit the
District line Our sympathy is with the
highway engineers who are supposed to
determine that.
Perhaps Mr.. Brewer does not recall
that this route, or one which sounds
very much like 1t, was discarded after
a hot controversy several years ago. If
he has forgotten, Mr.. Brewer assuredly
will be reminded December 10.
Not to be completely negative, we
have two bits Of advice.
The first is that the very real high
way problems in Bethesda and It's sur
rounding areas are not going to be
I solved by drawing lines on county
planning map. The solution win have
to. come from joint decisions by State,
Federal and District highway officials,
and the real need is to apply pressures
in that direction.
Secondly, Mr.. Brewer would be wise
to take more realistic view of the relief
his area could get from an effective
rapid-transit system, and to stop talk
ing, as he did the other day, about the
reluctance Of people to ride in these
cattle cars"
If Mr.. Brewer doesn't wise UP, it
will not be long in Montgomery before
even cattle cars" will be more comfort
able than automobiles.

Mr.. Korth's Unreosons

The harder one looks at Fred
horth's unreasons for bowling out, the
less they satisfy.
Mr.. Korth says the private busi-
ness interests he pursued with such
diligence during his term as Navy Sec
rotary were trivial" Perhaps they
seemed so to him. The legality Of his
actions, Of course, is not in question.
his sense Of discrimination definitely is.
The case has been compared to
That Of former Air Force Secretary
Talbott-unaptly we think. The parallel
is more to poor Sherman Adams, who
insisted to the end he had done nothing
special for anybody; he had merely
referred to appropriate agencies the
problems Of friends like Mr.. Goldfine.
He failed to see that these referrals,
coming from him, meant something
quite different from what they would
have meant coming from an ordinary
citizen. Mr.. Korth did not accept physi-
cal gifts from those he had favored,
as Mr.. Adams did. But he does intend
to return to his bank, which put a car
at his disposal, for instance, whenever
he came to town. The arrangement
leaves sour taste in the mouth.
Mr.. Korth should ask himself, If
he was in fact performing no unusual
services for his banking associates, why
they kept thanking him for what he
had done. He should know that it really
is not very nice for Secretary to use
an official Government yacht to enter
tain a prospective depositor in his bank
There must be a literal justifica-
uon, we presume, for Mr.. Korth's claim
mat no one asked him to quit. But
Unless this administration is a lot more
naive than has been supposed, it hardly
seems that he could have been per-
nnitted to stay.
