Weaver Raps Renewal Proposals.

A top administration spokes-
man has criticized four key
amendments to a bill to au-
thorize downtown urban re-
newal.
The four amendments were
put into a Senate-approved
bill last week by a House Dis
trict subcommittee under the
Craftsmanship Of Representa-

To Counter the Missile

The House Armed Services Commit
tee has just heard a great deal of highly
controversial testimony from Defense
Secretary Mcnamara. One Of his points,
however, is beyond dispute, and it un-
doubtedly has, or at least certainly de-
serves, the committees unanimous sup
port. The point is simply this: The
United States must spare no effort to
arm itself with an anti-missile missile
as rapidly and in as great a quantity
as possible.
To that end, Mr.. Mcnamara has
asked Congress to appropriate $3.50 mil
lion to enable the Pentagon to push
ahead with anti-miSsile research and
development. This is an area of explo-
ration and experimentation whose sig
nificance defies exaggeration. A break
through in 1t, obviously enough, could
totally upset the present balance of
global power Ergo, having in mind the
ever-present Soviet menace, our coun-
try should feel compulsion-an urgent
one-to go forward with what Mr. Nc
Namara has recommended.

price. On export sales the Government
pays the growers the difference in these
two prices. AS an end result, however,
foreign mills. particularly those in
Japan, are able to market finished cotton
textile goods in this country at prices
below those Of American manufacture.
The President has recommended two
year trial Of reducing cotton costs to
domestic mills-probably by expanding
subsidy payments to the growers-to
a point where the textile-makers could
meet the foreign competition.
For the most part, Mr. Kennedy's
message in this case is soft sell"
approach. But the taxpayers and the
consumers should not count their dol
lars saved" until the veteran farm
legislators have had their say.

The Mouth in Havana

Fidel Castro's call for bloody revolu-
ton throughout Latin America speaks
pretty much for itself. Coupled with his
implied contempt for Moscows attack on
pro-war Peking. II leaves no room for
doubt that he and his Red dictatorship
in Cuba are dedicated TO the idea Of
exporting subverSion and aggression.
Quite clearly he does not want peace.
Instead, he openly advocates that the
Communists In the Americas spare no
effort to cultivate "the art Of leading the
masses TO the fight" and he has plainly
indicated that he will do whatever he
can to stir up and support armed vio-
lence throughout the hemisphere. Stand
ing by himself this noisome betrayer Of
his country looks like a mere pipsqueak
tyrant, but he has menacing potential
nonetheleSS. The best evidence OF that
has come from his own mouth, which
never seems TO tire OF spouting venom
and hate.

Time to Get Goino

A good days work was done when
the Senate voted SO to AZ to kill a
proposal which would have permitted
a simple majority of Senators to adopt
new anti-filibuSter rules.
FilibuSter has become something Of
a dirty word, and Senators outside of
the South do not like to be put in
position in which they appear to be
lending aid and comfort to filibuStering
tactics. This can and probably will be
used against them when they come up
for reelection. Nevertheless, the So
man majority included a score or more
OF Senators from small States outside
the South.
Why was this? Simply because the
Senate is the last political baStion for
the safeguarding of minority rights,
including by constitutional design the
rights Of the smaller States. Let this
protection be swept away, whether for
reasons OF conviction or political ex-
pediency, and the rights of any minority
henceforth would be left to the poten-
TALLY oppressive rule of majorities Of

is well known to the members of the
Senate, and it is the reason why a sub
Stantial majority of them stood up to
be counted as opposed to the proposed
change in the rules. The day may come
when the so = called liberals will be
grateful to this majority.
In passing, word should be said
In behalf Of the Vice President. Despite
needing from some Republicans, whose
motives were politically suspect to say
the least, Mr.. Johnson steadfaStly re-
fused to rule in his capacity as presiding
Senate officer on the suggested change.
Amply supported by precedent, he in
sisted the question was one for the
Senate, not for him. AS he put it, This
presiding officer does not intend to
exercise authority he does not believe
he has merely because other men are
unwilling to exercise the authority they
do have" This rather neatly summed
up the whole matter, and when the
other men," failing to pass the buck,
proceeded to exercise their authority,
the result was the So to AZ vote to table
the proposal.
For all practical purposes, this ends
the matter. This pro rule-change Sen
ators are through unless they can wear
out the Southerners or muster a two
thirds vote to cut off debate, neither
OF which is at all probable. Doubtless
there will be some more wrangling next
week, but Majority Leader Mansfield
certainly was right when he said it's
about time the Senate got on with its
business.

Soft Sell on Farm Plan

II anything is as certain as death
and taxes" 1t is that Congress will en-
gage itself each year in the exercise of
doing something for the farmers. It
has been doing this for 40 years, with
results that hardly represent the highest
level OF achievement in governmental
management Indeed, some of the prob
lens Of today-such as the bulging
storage bins and their high costs of
maintenance are enduring reminders
OF noble but futile experiments in Gov
ernment price and production controls.
Although the end is not in sight,
President Kennedy'S farm message to
the new Congress does pay its respects
to the principles Of voluntary participa-
tion and flexible application within the
general guidelines OF what It calls a
common sense" program. II refrains
noticeably from spelling out in the detail
attempted last year the exact form OF
legislative implementation, and presum-
ably Is leaving to the congressional farm
leaders OF both parties and the Secretary
OF Agriculture the elbow room needed
TO work out measures which will have

D. 6. DeIeqote

among penang legislative proposals
affecting the District of Columbia, the
bill introduced by Representative Ma
thias of Maryland to give the District a
non-voting Delegate in the House of
Representatives stands in the front rank
of Importance.
AS an end in itself, of course, this
limited form of representation" does
not provide that full degree of national
enfranchiSement to which District resi-
dents are entitled, and which still is
denied them. The ratification of the
23d Amendment to the Constitution two
years ago, which will enable Washing
tonianS to vote for President and Vice
President in 1864, was very important
advance. But their full rights of citizen
ship will not be realized until another
constitutional amendment authorizes
them to elect voting representatives to
both the House and the Senate.
The significant consideration now,
however, is that the Matthias bill may
serve as an important step in that
direction. There is reason to believe
that Congress reluctance to approve
voting representation in 1860, when the
23d Amendment was under debate,
Sprang partly from concern over the
absence of a well-developed political
electorate in the District. The confusion
which resulted in 1856, when Washing
tonianS voted for the first time in preSi-
Dental primaries, revealed the scope Of
the problem.
Fortunately, encouraging strides
have been made toward the development
of orderly and effective machinery for
voting in the presidential elections next
year. Even so, the right to vote in this
single election only once every four
years would make the building and
maintenance Of effective electoral ma
chinery an extremely difficult matter.
With the election of Delegate in Off
presidential years as well, the structure
of political parties would be greatly
strengthened. Moreover, vigorous con-
tests for the office Of Delegate every
two years would increase interest in the
entire process of voting, which in turn
would make for more stable and
informed electorate.
Essentially, Cne MaCnlaS Dill would
grant to the Delegate the same rights
and privileges which were enjoyed for
many years by Delegates from Hawaii
and Alaska. While he could not vote,
he could introduce bills, participate in
debate and represent the interests of the
District through committees. Beyond
these things, his day-to-day relation
ships with members of Congress would
surely result in greater understanding
of and sympathy for the needs of the
Nations Capital
The attainment of meaningful vot-
ing representation in the House and
Senate through another constitutional
amendment must remain the ultimate
goal Until that goal is realized, however,
a non-voting Delegate in the House
would serve very useful purpose. The
simple law which is required to authorize
such elections should be enacted this
year, and efforts toward that end should
receive vigorous support-both in the
local community and on Capitol Hill.

section of the United States
press. that has begun with
the coming of the opprobrious
word of "Gaullism" with the
same implications as Hitler

But the history Of England

can do no wrong; in Europe
they think of England as the
deus ex machina of every

Illustration Of the continent
since the industrial revolu-
ton. England's traditional
policy has been, and is now,
to divide. to prevent re-
union, to keep them weak so
that England be strong. No
En- nglish statesman would
deny this fact. AS Constan-
tine Brown wrote, England
fought Napoleon not for
freedom. nor the freedom of
anyone as we are told, but to
prevent the unification Of
Europe.

Gen. de Gaulle has done
this country a great favor,
II we but have the wit to
appreciate what he has done.
We were about to be sucked
into an economic maelstrom
that could have been our un-
doing as industrial leaders
and employers Of labor.
Thanks to De Gaulle we
will have time to draw back
and reaSsess our own posi-
ton instead of being drawn
blindly forward by a policy
that had severed its connec-
ton with reality.
The outer members Of the
British Commonwealth will
also heave a mighty sign Of
