asked West Point to look at
this thing and make a recon-
mendation."
Admiral Kirkpatrick said
that Gen. James Lampert,
superintendent at West Point,

A spokesman for the Military

him to say something about the

The Furtive KremIin

Long before the Bolsheviks took
over, Russia was furtive and secre-
tive place. The Czars, most Of them,
we're almost psychotically suspicious Of
foreigners, and they had their own kind
OF Iron Curtain between their world and
ours generations ago. Lenfn,s Stain,

kept up the tradition. .-.......
SO 1t is not surprising to read that
Pravda and Izvestia-the party paper
and the government paper-have now
come out with long discourses on the
evil that can be done when simple
minded, trusting Muscovites are stupid
enough to accept invitations to cocktail
parties staged by decadent western
journalists and embassy personalities.
AS Pravda has stuffily put 1t, THE So
Wet people are posing the question,
should not we change our attitude to-
ward certain diplomatic receptions since
they have become meeting place for

Pravda's commentary, together with
IEvestia's, obviously Is tied in with the
recent trial and execution Of Oleg PEN
kovsky. Both papers have made point
OF suggesting that this man, actually
dedicated, covert ti-Communist,
gave away state secrets OF a very high
order because he succumbed to an
atmosphere of dry martins, scotch and
soda, and vodka on the rocks. In sum,
Judging from the Moscow stories, our
capitalist world entrapped him, soft
ened him up, bought key secrets from
him and then left him to the tender
mercies Of his Soviet masters.
Anyhow, Pravda and Izvestia have
made 1t quite plain that the average
Russian would be well advised TO take
an aloof attitude toward westerners In
the USSR. In short, avoid them as one
would plague Of sorts. This may seem
ridiculous, but II is also a measure OF

Sovino the Children

Welfare expenditures are so over
whelmingly devoted merely to perpet-
uating public dependency that there
is lift to the spirit in any effort
to reverse this trend to stimulate
programs aimed at the eventual rec
lamation Of welfare recipients as
Self-sufficient citizens. This is the
commendable goal Of the three expert
mental District projects which will be
financed by $170,673 in grants from
the Department Of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Each grant focuses attention on a
different aspect Of the total problem.
One will determine the efficacy of con-
ttnuing schooling lin special classes
apart from regular school buildings) for
girls between the ages Of IS and II years
who become pregnant. 1t is hard, no
matter how Injured one is to such sta
tisticS, to accept the fact that 483 girls
16 years Of age or younger gave birth to
nlegitimate children during the 1960-61
year in Washington. Many Of these girls
were students. Most, having left school
after their pregnancieS were discovered,
never returned.
A second project will seek the causes
land, If possible, alternative remedies),
for the upSurge in the admission Of
children to Junior Village last year. The
third will investigate the benefits and
relative costs Of a new type Of foster
home, In which married couples, trained
Ia RhflA mill ~ -.
housekeeping for three groups Of chill
dren whose varying situations are typi-
cal Of major problems. In one group the
children will be members Of a single
family, separated from their natural
parents. Another will include older boys,
who will receive detailed guidance and
assistance as they prepare to assume
community responsibilities. Still another
will house children who otherwise would
have to be sent to Junior Village.
Apart from their individual merits,
there are two hopeful aspects Of broad
significance to the HEW grants. The
first Is that they all deal with children,
who are the truly tragic victims OF the
ever-growing society of relief recipients
IN washington. Secondly, these three
grants represent, in dollar amount, more
than a quarter Of the cost Of II such
grants to be awarded throughout the
country-a recognition by HEw Of the
magnitude of the problem in the District.
The District Welfare Department at
times has failed to gain support for So
called rehabilitation proposals-not, we
think, from any lack Of interest or COM
passion by Congress or the Commission
ers, but because too often the essential
facts Of the situations were not in hand.
There were too many questions that
could not be answered. Perhaps more
answers will emerge from the HEw-fi-
nanced projects. That, at least, is the
intent-and the hope.
