enduring reality now. This
is the presence in this hemi-
sphere Of an actively hostile
Communist regime.
If the President elects 10
enter the campaign Of next
fall with Castro communism
still standing triumphant
and not visibly hurt in the
Caribbean, he will take an
enormous risk. It could be
a fatal risk, should Castro
andior the Russians decide
to humiliate this country
during that campaign by
some impudent gesture in
Cuba undermining our ma
tional powerlessness to get
rid of that point Of Commu-
mist infection. In q word, Mr..
Kennedy is a prisoner here Of
Communist initiative. Either
Castro or Khrushchev could
destroy the election for him
by q single irresponsible act.
The position In South Wet
Nam is no less grave. Here.
the United States Is COM
mitted to q sensible program

aggression in Southeast Asia
by supplying arms and mill

Party's Split
But the basic division In

They are increasingly con-
cerned that we do not some
how lose it by concentrating
on the shortcomings Of the
South Wet NameSe govern
ment rather than on the
perils posed by the Commu-
mist invaders.
1t is the Democratic ultra
liberals who necessarily press
the President to center on
what is wrong with the "dic-
tatorial" Wet Namese leader
ship. Here, as always, the
Presidents left wing Is his
Achilles heel. 1t is alternating
moderate opinion in this
country on this and other
matters. This Is precisely why

Dental nomination, Senator
Barry Goldwater, is indeed

regarded by many Of his countrymen
as a man who failed to make the most
of the powers reposed in him. He
caused divisions in his own party,
and never displayed those qualities Of
notwithstanding In behalf Of
democratic social and economic reforms
that had been expected of him.
It is no wonder, then, that DR..
BoSch'S unceremonious custer has been
greeted with something like apathy in
Santo Domingo. This may suggest an

democracy in the Dominican Republic.
More specifically, though, it indicates
that few things could be sillier than the

people seem ready to do without.

In the Wild

Democratic Senator Gruening Of
Alaska has gone far off into the wild
blue yonder in proposing that the United
States use military force, If necessary,
to reinstate DR.. Juan Bosch as President
of the Dominican Republic. In relation
to the harsh realities of what has hap
pened in Santo Domingo, the idea is
absurd on its face.
The chief reality, of course, is that
DR.. Bosch, elected to the presidency by
a large majority last December, has
been most definitely toppled, and de-
ported from the country, by a military
junta that now seems to be in command
Of the situation. This junta, moreover,
is operating through civilian trium-
virate and civilian cabinet whose
members are said to be widely respected,
and who have pledged themselves to
stage free elections again IL or 18
months from now.
Another point AS The Stars George
Sherman has reported from Santo Do
mingo, practically nobody down there
seems to bemoan the military coup and
the passing of DR.. Bosch. Apparently,

men who wish to see the Capital City

Like Gordon Gray, whom he sue

ground Of meritorious public service
with the Federal Government in Wash
ington. Thus he understands the citys
problems, as seen both through the eyes
of an Attorney General of the United

ing law here. Following such men as

berShip which has given selflessly to

To the Moon

In his address to the United Ma
tons, President Kennedy spoke Of CO.
operating with the Russians in going
to the moon and alluded to the Sim
mense" cost of Soviet-American race.
The economizers took this to mean
that Mr. Kennedy was inviting Congress
to cut the fare for this Journey
purpose which certainly was not in the
presidential mind. In an effort to put
the record straight, the President wrote
to Representative Thomas Of Texas,
chairman Of the subcommittee which
is considering the space budget.
Mr.. Kennedy said that he does in
deed favor such cooperation with the
Russians as may be possible. He
fastened to add, however, that his
suggestion of cooperation $50 far from
offering any excuse for slackening or
weakness IN our space effort, is one
more reason for moving ahead with the
great program to which we have been
committed as a country for more than
two years."
This would seem to clarity the
Presidents position, but 1t may not
satisfy those who want to go to the
moon at cut rates. The fiscal "a space
budget Of $57 billion already has been
reduced, in the congressional authori-
cation, by 1852 million. And the fear
is that it will be slashed again in cross
ing the hurdles of the appropriation
committees.
So 1t seems desirable for Mr.. Ken
nedy to speak out more firmly and
more specifically. He ought to drive
home the point that the Apollo project
is not something that can be turned
on and turned off at will If we seriously
propose to get Americans to the moon by
1870. This program has been planned
well in advance and is conditioned on
the assumption that scheduled funds
will be available on schedule. It cannot
be accommodated to substantial none
tary cuts. If it is stretched out" we
will not get to the moon by 1870 and
when we finally make the landing the
journey will have cost a great deal
more than it would If we had stuck to
the schedule.
It is pleasant to bask In the warm
glow Of contemplated cooperation with
the Russians. But the facts Of the
moon program will not go away. Mr..
Kennedy ought to lay them squarely
on the line.

MerriIy We Go Around

Current discussion over whether the
District Commissioners should submit
one or two budgets to Congress is very
much like a cat chasing its tail. It
will doubtless continue until the cat
personified by the CommissionerS-gets
tired and turns to some other form Of
harmless amusement.
Unlike the National Government,
the agency Of Congress known as the
municipal government is not permitted
to spend more than it receives in rev.
enue-except for loans or Treasury ad-
vances specifically authorized by Con-
greSs. This practical inhibition requires
the Commissioners to submit to Con-
gress balanced budget-in which re-
queSted spending will be financed by
anticipated revenue. The spending is
approved by the appropriations commit
tees. The revenue depends upon taxes
approved by the legislative committees.
Seldom do the twain meet. The appro-
priations committees will not appropri-
ate money that is not available, until
the legislative committees, by law, make
it available by passing new laws boost
ing taxes.
In the past, therefore, the Commits
SionerS held their budget down to rev.
enue availability. But this meant that
many needs, regarded as essential, were
not even presented to Congress. For
at one time the Commissioners were
forbidden-along with other department
headS-to petition for expenditures that
were not included in the White House
approved budget. So the device was
adopted of submitting two budgets, one
Of them balanced, the other presenting
needs that could be met If the legislative
committees provided the revenue.
This is complicated, and slows down
the process Of appropriating for the
District. But if the Commissioners now
abandon the two-budget system and
return to one budget, they will have
merely completed the circle. They will
be precisely where they were before they
decided to submit Budget 3D." as well
as Budget "a" And the tail Of the cat
will still be out Of reach.
