Some Answers Found

Even without going to trial,

Visitor to Cairo

Some years ago a high American
official ventured the guess that Egypt,
unless President Nasser should turn out
to be some kind of Communist agent,
would steer an independent course. In
the time that has interviewed Egypt has
steered its own course, and one may
wonder, therefore, what Communist
China's Premier Chou En-lai really
hopes to accomplish while he is in Cairo
and on his scheduled visit to several
African countries.
From this distance it doesn't seem
that Chou En-lai has much to offer.
The Russians have been assisting Egypt
and other African countries. So have we.
1t is very doubtful that Red China can
offer anything of a material nature
that could be attractive to the hard
bargainers in Egypt and the African
countries.
There is, Of course, one thing that
Peking can export in large quantities.
This is pure, unadulterated MarxiSt
theology. Doubtless this has a certain
appeal in the countries which Chou
En-lai will visit. But we doubt very much
that these people will want to buy
theology in preference to Russian rubles
or American dollars.
II we are mistaken about this, the
Chinese Premier's tour Of the Middle
East and Africa may turn out to have
been a triumphant journey. But we do
not think 1t will work out this way More
probably, Chou En-lai will go back to
Peking wondering whether his Journey
was worthwhile, and whether his self
imposed isolation from most Of the
world will ever produce the expected
dividends

their permanence The last item,
100000 divided evenly between the

For the Mentally III

A new program of Federal aid backed
by John F. Kennedy has given COM
munitieS everywhere a strong incen-
tive to develop more effective services
to retarded children and other vic
tins of mental illness. Fortunately, Dis
trict Health Officer Murray Grant al
ready has proposed new mental health
center for Washington which would be
fully in accord with these worthy aims.
With the new center in being, Dr.
Grant is convinced that a great many
victims Of mental illness who other
wise would be committed to DC. or St.
ElizabethS Hospitals may be cared for
in their homes, in out-patient clinics,
or in special day-care facilities. Many
of those who require disqualification
during the acute stages of illness could
return to the community faster Pos
Sibly their convalescence could be
Speeded by the development Of foster
care program-of the type which has
proved successful in European cities. In
short, through variety of means, the
Health Department would gain a flexi-
bility which is sadly lacking today to
adapt different forms of care and
treatment to the individual needs Of pa
tents and their families.
A second component of the center
would provide services designed specifi-
cally to meet the needs Of mentally re-
tarded children. Even more dramat-
ically, DR.. Grant hopes that some forms
Of mental retaration may be prevented
through, for example, more adequate
programs Of maternity and prenatal
care.
1t is an exciting project, still in It's
formative stage. About 100000 has
been requested in the budget now pend
ing in Congress, however, to plan the
center. These funds certainly should be
provided, and the planning, which will
consume substantial time, should be
pressed with all due speed.

One for McPeok

AS it turned out, Bill McPeak's
finest victory came the day after his
18th loss of the season. On day when
he might have been packing up for
good, he upset the loSer-must-go tradi-
ton and won another one-year contract
as head coach of the Redskins. With a
raise in pay, yet.
In business where the purse rules
the heart, not many would have wagered
Mr.. McPeak could turn a 3-11 season
into another chance Especially after
that nightmare in New York when the
Giants took Mr. Norman Snead and his
playmates apart, piece by piece.
But someone must love the Red
skins, for about Al 900 fans let neither
frigid winds nor losing record stay
them from the D. C. Stadium finale.
And therein, no doubt, lies the answer
to Mr.. McPeak'S responsiveness with the
RedSkin directors. Somebody is re-
SponSible for packing in all those paying
guests week after week, and just possibly
Mr.. McPeak has had a hand in it.
After all, he helped bring Bobby
Mitchell to Washington, and is con-
centrating on other moves to build the
team. 1t is sort Of refreshing, in way,
that man with Swear record of
9-30-3 is still evaluated more on his
character and potential than on wins
and losses. 1t has seldom happened
anywhere. We are glad it has happened
in Washington.
