MIDDLEBURG, Va. - BY
next Saturday Middleburg's
forsythia should be just as
cooperative as Washington's
cherry blossoms.
Planted to burst into bloom
for the Middleburg Race AS
sociation's first Saturday of
racing, the forsythia bushes
make a beautiful backdrop In
the infield as the horses go
round and round on Mr.. Dan
Sands green turf.
1t will be just two years
ago that President Kennedy
swooped into the Glenwood
track near Middleburg to join
his wife for a few minutes,
and then swooped out again,
only to pause at a distant
spot away from the crowds,
lean on a wire fence. and
watch the finish of a race.
Mrs. Kennedy stayed and
presented the Middleburg Cup
that year and then went
home to Glen Ora.
The Cup race this year will
be minus two top horses that
had to be put down after the
running of the Carolina Cup
last Saturday. Alan Adale and
the old campaigner Rhythm
master ran their final race
and will be missed at Glen
wood, particularly since the
field for the Cup race is never
too large.
Big Week End
Even If the big race is not
too filled, there will be a full
day of racing, preceded by a
subscription luncheon at the
Middleburg Community Gen.
ter for subscribers and their
guests and followed by the
usual cocktail parties and
dinners. This is Middleburg's
big week end, leading right
into Easter Sunday.
The Race Association re-
peats itself the following Sat-
urday, April 20, when the
Mary Mellon Memorial will bt
the featured race.
II it's cold next Saturday,
it'n probably be hot the fol-
lowing Saturday and vice
versa. Knowledgable Specta-
tors always have two race
meet wardrobes ready, pref
erably linen for one Saturday
and a horse blanket for the
other. Imbibing their races on
Glenwood'S rocks, area cave
dwellers have come to expect
anything, including the Ken
nedys.
Art Show Readied
The Neighborhood Art
Show, held down the road
from Middleburg at The
Plains each year, wishes to re-
mind artists who live within
so, miles of the Plains that
their entry blanks have to be
in by April 13. The commit
tee is used to having wet oils
brought in for hanging but
they are adamant about
blanks as the catalogue has
to go to press.
The show will open on May
l0.and run through the 18th
and 18th. 1t Is nonjuried but
win be judged. Long before
the era of Art Is Where the
Heart Is, the Neighborhood
show was organized to en-
courage art in the community
and to establish an annual
event in the form of a home
spun show for those who
practice and appreciate draw
ing, painting and sculpture
>. 1t is this fellowship of
neighbors that has made the
show a success and provided
spiritual rewards for all par
ticipating. The hard rewards

The ChomizoI

1t has taken long time, nearly
100 years in fact, for the United States
to decide that Mexico was entitled to
regain 437 acres of land which was
hers before the Rio Grande re-routed
itself in 1864. Called the Chamizal
(thicket), this populous area Of Ell Paso,
Texas, had become as thorny an issue
as its name implied, causing a great
deal more hard feelings between this
country and Mexico than 1t was worth.
Now the Senate has had the good
sense to cede the land to Mexico, full
filling one ct the wishes Of President
Kennedy. Gone forever is bone Of
contention between the countries, as
we'll as twinge in our national con-
science. The few millions it will cost
to relocate Ell Paso families and to
improve the Rio Grande channel is
small price to pay for Mexican Ambas-
Sador Flores message to the Senate:
THE size of the vote [63 to 13l reflects
the deep-seated friendship of the Amer
lean people for Mexico"

The Red Army

Our NATO allies should pay close
attention to Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara'S current estimates of Russian
army strength. If he is right, they
must change their way of thinking.
Mr.. Mcnamara has found, by prod
ding his military intelligence analysts,
that the old western assumption that
Russia has IT'S good divisions is not
valid. In brief
The intelligence community here
now agrees that the Russians have only
go to 80 good divisions, not ITS. Each
of these divisions has only half the man
power, combat equipment and mobility
of an American division. Russia spends
half as much as the United States equip
ping each division. The Russian army
is outnumbered by the NATO army in
central Europe, million men to %
million.
This is not another missile gap"
exercise in juggling gueSSes Of future
Russian production. 1t is an agreed-on
intelligence estimate of existing ground
forces, double-checked, we presume, by
satellite reconnaissance.
From these estimates Mr.. McNa-
mara concludes that the so to 80 d.
visions are worth only 80 to 40 Amer
lean or European divisions In other
words, he says, the present equivilant
of 81 good divisions in Europe is faced
by 80 to 40 really good Russian divisions,
some of which are in Asia, not Europe.
The long planned NATO force of 80 good
divisions would be a match for the
Russians.
If the current Army studies confirm
this, and so far they tend to, then it is
clearly possible to catch up to the Rus
sian army. The NATO goals are worth
while. 1t is sensible to at least try to
check non-nuclear attack with nom
nuclear defense.
Europe should stop thinking in
terms of an immediate-and suicidal
-nuclear defense and join Mr.. Nc
Namara in his skeptical look at the
Russian army.

Revive the Formula

John F. Kennedy made a valiant
effort early this year to improve Con-
gress' weird and unrealistic fiscal rela-
tionship with the District. It is greatly
encouraging that President Johnson,
acting in the same pattern, also intends
to send Congress a separate message on
the District budget next month.
The appeals by Mr.. Kennedy figured
prominently in the passage of a new
revenue bill, which will enable the Dis
trict, through the appropriations voted
the other day, to make substantial gains
in meeting the needs of the city. AS
result Of the additional revenues, the
city also should be able to present its
spending requests for the 1865 fiscal
year in a single budget. This should
avoid great deal Of the confusion and,
in some instances, the harm which re-
suited this year from the submission
of two separate budgets.
Unfortunately, the District still will
have to face the same old uncertainty
next year as to how large Federal
payment it can count on from Congress.
ThlS year, although S5O-million pay
ment was authorized, the Federal share
provided was only $37.5 million-at the
expense of number of vital projects.
Meanwhile, the costs of running the
Capital City are bound to keep increaS-
ing. 1t will not be too long before even
a S50-million Federal payment will be
inadequate. And that will give rise to
another round of procedural problems
1t was this sort of chaos which Mr..
Kennedy tried to avoid by asking Con-
greSs to commit itself to a more pre-
dictable Federal payment each year,
based on a formula which would de-
termine its equitable annual share.
While his proposal failed, it generated a
high degree Of interest in Congress-
President Johnson by all means should
revive the plan. Without some such
arrangement, the District can never
achieve fiscal stability.

Rum-Runner

I have Just committed my
misdemeanor for this year.
I struggled a case of Scotch
and a case of brandy pur-
chased in the District of
Columbia to my Maryland
residence. My primary need
for violating the law is sim
ply that the brands that I like
are not available in Mary
land stores. But more deeply
I rebel against a law, not too
dissimilar to the Stamp Act
Of pre-Revolutionary days,
which tells me what I have
to buy, where I have to buy
1t and how much I have to
pay for it. Maryland would
regain respect II it repealed
this unfair piece Of legisla-
ton which is flagrantly vio-
lated and the enforcement of
which would cost q hundred
times the revenue lost.

Redistrict Now!

Governor Tawes has been taking
the relaxed position that the citizens
of Maryland will have their opportunity
in referendum next November to vote
the States latest congressional redis-
tricting scheme up or down. And that
being the case, he says, why bother to
drag the Legislature back into the con-
troversy at this point?
There is, of course, very good
reason, which is becoming increasingly
apparent to nearly everyone but the
Governor. For If the Legislature does
not evolve more equitable division of
congressional districts on its own, it
is entirely possible that the courts will
upset both the existing system and
the inadequate revision which is up for
referendum before the coming year runs
out. If that should happen, Maryland
could find itself electing all eight of its
congressman at large in 1864. In Texas,
where the districting system is not
vastly worse than Maryland's, Federal
court already has ordered at-large cleo
tons. And it is generally expected that
Georgia'S system, currently under Scru-
tiny by the Supreme Court, also will be
overturned.
The Maryland Committee for Fair
Congressional RediStricting has been
making these points in a series of pleas
to Mr.. Tawes-first to call a special
session of the Legislature, and more re-
Gently to bring the issue before the
Legislature at its session in February.
All to no avail. Now, however, the
Maryland Committee has attacked the
constitutionality Of the Legislatures
past actions in legal suit filed yes
terday in Baltimore.
At the last reading the Governor
was still unmoved. In a statement which
was a welcome surprise, however, his
old political ally, Maryland Attorney
General Thomas B. Finan, has spoken
out in terms cautiously supporting the
citizens committees arguments.
Mr.. Finan is not oblivious, of course,
to the Importance Of keeping on the
side of the angels in the event he should
find himself running for Governor next
year. As of today, however, Mr.. Finan

Scranton Being Doomed
During the political mora
torium there has been much
b ackstage conversation
among Republican leaders.
Some Of them have been
much shaken over prospects
for carrying any of the
Southern States-which
seemed prepared to 90
against President Kennedy
and for Goldwater. They are
no longer willing to leave the
contest for the presidential
nomination up to Rockefeller
and Goldwater. There has
been more and more talk Of
Governor William w. Scran-
ton Of Pennsylvania as the
strongest candidate they can
put forward. Governor
Scranton, however, has him.
self made no move toward a
presid entia | nomination.
Quite the contrary. He has
discouraged the idea. But
the pressures for him to get
into the race-at least as an
available candidate-are like
ly to mount as the days 60
by. While there has been
much in the press about Nix
on's friends moving to get
him into the race-nothing
tangible has yet developed.
On the Democratic side of
the fence, President johnson
has taken firm hold Of his
backbreaking job and has
made a good impression both
here and abroad. He is intent
on getting things done, on
needed legislation for this
country, on economy In the
Federal Government. and on
all possible steps to assure
peace in the world. II he is
giving any thought to q vice
presidential nominee to run
with him, he is saying moth
ing. He doesn't have to until
the Democratic National
Convention has nominated
him.

Opea, But

There is nothing essentially new in
what Roger HilSman has had to say in
his San Francisco address on Red China
In effect. speaking as Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Far Eastern Affairs,
he has merely resurrected and reaffirm-
ed an official view set forth by John
Foster Dulles as long ago as 1857.
The view is simply this: That the
United States has not and will not close
its mind to the idea Of trying to arrive
eventually at some kind of modus vi
vendi with Peking. AS Mr.. Hilsman has
put it, I'VE do not know what changes
may occur in the attitudes Of future
Chinese leaders. But If I may pcra-
phrase a classic canon Of our past, we
pursue today toward Communist China
a policy Of the open door. We are de-
termined to keep the door open to the
possibility Of change, and not to slam
it shut against any developments which
might advance our national good, serve
the free world, and benefit the people
of China"
These quite sensible words echo the
spirit Of what Secretary Dulles said on
several occasions before his death. They
are qualified, however, by many big
IFS" just as were Mr.. Dulles. Mr.. Hills
man, for example, has plainly indicated
that the State Department has little
hope land why should it?) of ever being
able to get along with the virulently
anti-American, ideologically arthritic
and dangerously bellicose Mao Tze-tung
regime. Still, despite those who think
that life goes on In an eternal rut, to
be, to exist, means process Of constant
change-no matter how slow-for all Of
us, regardless of political dogma And
in Mr.. Hilsman's sound judgment the
process may make it possible for the
United States to get along in due course
with Red China when the younger and
more sophisticated" leaders replace the
present Peking hierarchy.
Yet the great basic qualifications
remain. There can be no rapproche-
ment, no normal diplomatic or economic
relations, between America and Red
China unless or until there is a regime
in Peking that will do the following
things, among others: ~ End the ven
omous hate-America program; (2) stop
threatening India; (3) withdraw from
the vicious campaign to subvert and
conquer Wet Nam and the rest of South
east Asia; and az join the United
States in formal remuneration of the
use Of force as regards Formosa and all
other issues inflaming that crucial part
of the world.
The Mao regimes reaction has been
characteristic: Mr.. Hilsman and the
United States have been vilified. In the
circumstances, Secretary Rusk has
struck realistic note in declaring to
NATO's Paris meeting that the alliance
should not give aid or comfort to Gen
eraliSsimo Mao.
The right thing at the moment is to
support the relatively reasonable Nikita
KhruShchev against his warmongering
comrades in Picking.

Texas Tradition

I take issue with Jenkin
Lloyd Jones article, Ruby
Played Role of Tall Texan"
BY identifying both the
assassin. Lee Harvey Oswald,
and Jack Ruby as Texans"
by making it appear that
Ruby, at least, was carrying
out a Texas tradition" in
the manner of his shooting
Of Oswald, the columnist
plays loosely with the truth.
Oswald was born in New
Orleans not Texas. He was
brought to Fort Worth as a
child, was then taken to New
York where he attended
school, then returned to Fort
Worth where he attended
school briefly before joining
the Marines at II. Except for
less than two months i'm
mediately preceding the
crime. that was the last he
saw of Texas. There is proba-
bly, no State in the Union
where a man Of his ilk was
more dislocated and out of
place than in Texas. If some
one had mentioned Texas
tradition" to him he would
not have known what it
meant.
Jack Rubenstein RUBY
is described by Jones as a
Texan" who committed a
crime which he thought was
in the Texas tradition"
Texas" your writer con-
cludes, deserves and needs a
better one"
Everyone Except perhaps
your columniSt) knows that
Jack Rubenstein is a native
Of Chicago and spent more
than two-thirdS Of his life
there before wandering down
to Dallas a few years ago to
make a few fast bucks. Like
Oswald, he chose Texas;
Texas did not choose him.
How can we keep these
characters out? The Consti-
tuition does not permit States
to enact immigration laws.
To even hint that Ruben
stein was STEPPED in Texas
tradition" is to engage in
fantasy. He had no Texas
forebears, never attended a
Texas school, and 1t is very
doubtful II he even knows
or cares about-the story Of
the Alamo. Just what has
Rub enstein ever learned,
said, or done that identifies
him as a true Texan, or as
being aware of a single
Texas tradition?
Just what Texas tradi-
ton" does your columnist
have in mind upon which to
base a story claiming that to
shoot a handcuffed man in
cold blood is Gin the Texas
tradition" Actually, nothing
could be more contrary, more
repulsive, to Texas tradition
than such a fiendish act.
Such cowardice finds no
place in Texas tradition, and
never did.

Confiscotory Taxes

A big hand Of congratula-
ton Is due to Senator Long
and members Of the Senate
Finance Committee who
voted for a deeper cut in the
upper tax brackets. AS a
young person just out of
college 1t is difficult for me
to understand how a minori-
ty of our citizens making
better-than-average incomes
are required to pay confisca-
tory rates Of taxation. Any
democratic system which
demands that its citizens pay
into government more than
these individuals can retain
for their own personal bene-
fit should re-examine itself
frequently on matters of
equity, discrimination and
justice.
Liberal leaders supported
by big city voting blocs
believe that they are best
helping their cause by soak
ing the rich. They seldom
stop to realize that they are
also soaking" the incentive
to produce that something
extra-special which has
made our country great. Too
many young people are
seeking security" rather
than opportunity" In large
part this is due to an inequit-
able tax system which dis
eliminates against those in
dividuals who dare to make
better products, provide
more and better services and
make America a better place
to live. Sure they profit from
their success, but We all gain
in the process.

How can the daily recita-
