One Chief

Donald D. Brewer has earned the
position Of District welfare director,
and his selection for this job was
anticipated. The appointment, as his
deputy, of man who had been run
ming meek and neck" in competition
with Mr.. Brewer for the No. post is
something of surprise.
Both Mr.. Brewer and the new
deputy, Albert P. Russo, former Rhode
Island welfare official, say the rela-
tionship is satisfactory to them. Mr.
Brewer, in fact, indicates that he
would have been willing to take the
lesser post if things had turned out
differently.
This sounds like happy arrange
ment. The fact is, however, that the
Welfare Department, If it is to avoid
the administrative mistakes of the past,
must have single, strong voice at the
top. There can be only one chief. We
trust that Commissioner Duncan, who
up to now has shown little enthusiasm
for Mr. Brewer, will make it plain to
everyone now that Mr.. Brewer is the
chief, and will give him whatever sup
port he needs to do an effective job.

Weed Killer

Americans are additionally enthu-
siaStic. Whether it's making war, selling
automobiles or sightseeing abroad,
Americans tend to go at it with vigor
that leaves more leisure -oriented spec
tatorS little exhausted
So it is hardly surprising that, with
the hue and cry about cigarettes and
lung cancer in recent years, American
smokers have made fad of kicking the
nicotine habit.
Books, willpower courses, drugs and
chewing gum specially designed to cure
the smoker of addiction are selling big
all over the country. The use of such
anti-cigarette aids is spreading like
wildfire. Or even, you might say, like
weeds.
For, oddly enough, with all the
ballyhoo about cigarettes and health,
Americans, in their enthusiasm, are still
buying more cigarettes than ever.

Newborn Body

A spokesman for the National Acad-
envy of Sciences has offered an apology
Of sorts for DR.. Linus Pauling'S blast
against this country'S moon program.
DR.. Pauling, the spokesman said, was
supposed to stick to what scientists
could say with some assurance"
We take this to mean that the two
time Nobel prize winner was supposed
to devote himself to subjects which he
knows something about To ask this Of
DR.. Pauling, however, is to ask the i'm
possible. For he never makes headlines
when he talks on subjects he knows
molecular chemistry, for instance, about
which he knows a great deal.
And DR.. Pauling seems to like head
lines.
DR.. Pauling says the moon project
is a great waste; that with the money
to be spent on it scientists could get the
answers to 1000 questions about the
human body for every one question an
Swered about the moon.
Maybe so. But scientists are getting
and we trust they will continue to get
the answers to many thousands Of ques-
tons about the human body. We are
going to the moon because the explora-
ton of space takes man to vast new
frontier Of experience. We cannot sit
out history's greatest adventure.
Neither DR.. Pauling nor anyone else
knows what knowledge, or other re-
wards, will be gained in this experience.
1t may be, as the pessimists predict,
that we will learn nothing useful
But we are reminded Of Benjamin
Franklin's response to a Gliding friend
who wanted to know what good could
come from the results of his novel and
primitive experiments. DR.. Franklin
answered: What good is a newborn
baby?"

Koyo for Boxing

When the death of a boxer
calls for regret, accusation
and investigation, it should
be obvious that the sport is
out Of date. We simply are no
longer hardy enough to enjoy
a fight to the death, as our
Roman or African or Saxon
or Gaelic ancestors were.
Or, to look at the matter
in another light, two millen-
NUNS of Christian culture
should by now have made
unthinkable a sport, the ideal
end of which is achieved
when one Of the participants
lies unconscious with a brain
conclusion from q beating
by the other.
Mayor McKeldin and Gov
ernor Tawes have taken oc-
casion from the death of Err
ME Knox to deliver them
selves Of the usual nonsense
about safety regulations for
boxing, forgetting. ignoring
or not realizing what should
be clear to the simplest OBJ
server, that boxing is not and
cannot be made safe as long
as it remains boxing.
Nor can it be justified in
Christian conscience.

Image of Chile

AS our Image Of Chile"
cultural series draws to q
close. I should like to express
my deep appreciation for the
constructive and valuable
support that The Star has
given this venture.
We embarked on this two
month series of cultural
events-an attempt to depict
an aspect of our life insuffi-
GENTLY known in the United
States - with considerable
doubt and uncertainty as to
the response which it would
elicit in Washington. We
need have had no fears on
that score, for public reaction
was enthusiastic to a degree
we had never dared expect.
I am convinced that much
Of the success Of our pro-
grams was due to the ex-
tensive and excellent report
ing Of the series by your
critics and writers, and to
the very important contribu-
ton they made to acquaint-
ing the public with the series
and stimulating interest in it.

Tough Wet Cong

AS proclaimed some time ago by
President Kennedy, American policy in
South Wet Nam is simply this: The
United States will support whatever
helps the war effort against the Com
muniSts, but it will not support anything
that weakens or fails to contribute to
that effort.
1t is in keeping with this rule of
thumb, presumably, that the United
States has now stopped all financial and
other aid to President Diem's special
forces" These forces are an elite corps
of about 5000 men under control of Ngo
Dinh Nhu, the Presidents brother and
the husband of the remarkable Dragon
Lady who creates a sort Of piquant
storm wherever she goes.
The hope behind the aid cutoff
is that it will pressure the Diem regime
into putting these excellently trained
and excellently equipped troops into
direct action against the Communist
Wet Cong. At the present, or so our Gov
eminent thinks, too many Of them are
being used to police Saigon and keep
the "Buddhists" in order.
Madame Nhu, as everybody knows,
has been telling us about how the Com
muniSt guerrillaS are on their last legs.
Indeed, our own top military experts
have been saying that the situation is
steadily improving and that the war
itself should peter out in a couple of
years, with our side victorious. But the
latest news from Saigon rudely contra
diets all such optimistic assessments:
The Reds have Just inflicted on the
South VietnameSe "the bloodiest nose"
since last January.
Thus, in this latest encounter with
the supposedly waning strength of the
Wet Cong, 40 free Vietnamese soldiers
have been killed, and upwards Of 80
men, including IS Americans, have been
wounded. OF course, in relation to the
casualties of the Second World War and
the Korean War, these figures may seem
inconsequentially small. But they are
nonetheleSS significant measure of the
Wet Cong'S durability and killing ca
pacity, which can grow.
Clearly, the Red guerrillas have
been unimpreSSed by all the talk about
how they are beginning to gasp their
last The message hasn't gotten through
to them. 1t will never get through to
them unless or until they are hit with
much more than mere words and suffer
truly smashing military defeat. Maybe
that can be brought about if Mr.. Mus
special forces" move out of Saigon to
the real lines of battle.

More on Candida

The term candlepower as we noted
yesterday, is becoming obsolete as
measurement of luminous intensity.
Congress, following the lead of scien-
lists seeking universally accepted stand
ards, has officially approved coinage Of
new word, "candela," which means the
same thing as candlepower but for some
strange reason is supposed to be under
stood by those confused by candlepower.
This is called progress.
Well, If Congress says so, candle
power has to go. But, having thought
further on this business overnight, we
would like to record our hope that the
science Of measurement will be salts
fled with candida, and will not seek to
snuff the candle itself from a literature
that remains Illuminated by its gentle
glow.
Light another's candle, but don't
put out your own" is still sound advice.
Time Is yet to extinguish the wise ad-
monttion: Neither do men light a can
die, and put it under a buShel, but on a
candlestick, and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house" Could any uues-
ton shed more light on human frailties
than Must I hold a candle to my
shameS?" And all around us, every day,
we see how thus hath the candle singed
the moth"
Long after Mr. EdiSon'S incandes-
cent electric lamp has been replaced
by the scientists with something else,
which they may chriSten with a new
name, brave men will continue to light
candles round the world that "By Gods
grace shall never be put out" And
though a candle, here and there, burn
ing at both ends, will not last the night,
e.. all, my foes, and oh, my
friends
ut gives lovely light"

City's Lungs

Woods and parks are the
lungs Of a big city, but they
are cut back in a suicidal way
with the apparent agreement
of those city fathers to whom
the community entrusted the
preservation Of its interests.
1t is a pity that a great
number of beautiful trees of
Forest Glen had to be cut to
give way to the new Belt
way. But more precious woods
are taken away betwee n
Stonybrook road and the new
Beltway, north of Rock Greek
Park for houses and a super
market.
Surely these are choice lots.
Why not sell all Rock Greek
Park to builders? These would
also be choice wooded lots.
Is there no way to stop this
forest destruction? Citizens
awake! Karl NJ. FuechseI.

one occasion in the last few years that
he would hate to see them gone.
This, of course, is the reason the
GSA administrator suggested that di-
receive Of some sort from Congress on
the Navy-Munitions monStrosity would
be most helpful. Senator Magnuson
promptly promised to do what he could
to 'fortify your hand" We hope he will
do so. With a strong statement of sup
port from the Senate, who knows what
may happen? The administration might
even stop talking about the Navy-Mu-
nitions Buildings-and move toward
tearing them down.

Tear Them Down!

Like the rest of us, Senator Magnu-
son OF Washington is getting sick and
tired OF the Governments pious pledge
to tear down-Someday-the wartime
relics which still serve as office buildings
for thousands of Federal employees here.
Unlike the rest of us, the Senator.
as chairman Of the Senate Independent
Offices Appropriations Subcommittee, is
in a position to help do something
about it. And it is encouraging to hear
him say that he might.
At hearing the other day, for
example, Senator Magnuson told the
General Services administrator to fix
his sights on leveling the most long
lived of all the tempoS-the Navy-Mu-
nitions Buildings, which mar the north
side of the Mall for as far west of Sew
enteenth street as the eye can see. In
all, these ugly, rambling structures pro-
vide working quarters for some 1000
people. 1t was the Senator's position
that these buildings will never be torn
down unless the administration as a
matter of top-level policy, is willing
to assign this huge work force specific
space in new Federal buildings now
under construction.
OF course, the Senator is perfectly
right. It is high time that the admin
istration does precisely what he suggests.
But there is more to the problem
than that. The fact is that Senator
MagnuSon's appropriations committee
counterpart in the House, Representa-
tive Thomas of Texas, thinks that
tempos are dandy (and also very mex
pensive) places for people-other people
to work. Especially the Navy-Muni-
tons Buildings. And he has pointedly
mentioned to the GSA on more than

relative lack Of growth but our
seeming indifference to ma
tional forethought are losing
us our place in the vanguard
Of free men,"
And finally, the true hard
line for the continuing clash
Of East and West: "The stern
fact is that we are in this
struggle for life. AS Senator
Fulbright has so wisely
pointed out, the ones who are
soft are not those who refuse
to rush into a suicidal war,
but those who lack the cour-
age to face a grim, lifelong
struggle for freedom"
Ambassador Stevenson has
a quality of mind that is rare
everywhere and all the more
so in public life: the ability
to distinguish clearly what he
is talking about.
The Cuban Reasons
At the height Of the Cuban
crisis, he could denounce Cuba
and the Soviet Union without
for a moment losing sight of
the fact that we are not
against the overthrow Of die
tators, like Batista, we are
not against socialism in other
countries, and that, when nee
eSsary, we have been known
to have relations with author
itarian states. We were
against the Soviet bases in
Cuba because we considered
that they threatened us. It
was the best of all reasons,
and it would have been foolish
to dilute it with assorted nom
reasons.
Clarity and firmneSs are
noble qualities in themselves.
In Ambassador Stevenson,
they are Joined with a ringing
idealism that pulsates in
every word but is never per-
mitted to obscure reality.
In his present position, he
must present policy with
which presumably he Is not
always in agreement. He must
also appear here and there to
reaffirm what he considers
essential veritieS. His finely
turned rhetoric is invariably
equal to the occasion;
thoughts that are not in them
selves new, startling, or even
particularly interesting are
reStated with clean sorority.
Looking Outward" like
previous books Of the sort,
leaves the reader sad as well
as edited. It is hard not to
believe that America has
done herself a disservice by
not making fuller use of the
vast talents Of Adlai Steven
son.

Group Health Association Referendum

rates of the CHA medical
plans.
For these reasons we re-
gard the referendum pro-
posals as backward looking
and restrictive. We have
urged all members to vote
against them. Those who
have not yet voted and have
mislaid their ballots can ap-
ply to the membership secre-
tary, Mr.. Hanson, for new
ones.
Raymond J. Goodman,
President. Group Health
Association, Inc.
In the fog of charges and
counter-charges between
majority and minority mem
bers of the Board of Trustees
of Group Health Association,
there is danger that the seri-
Gus issues involved in the
referendum currently under
way a ong CHA members
may be lost from sight.
The referendum submits to
CHA members for a vote two
proposed amendments to the
CHA bylaws and a so-called
Proposal I. One of the
a m e n d m e ITS would take
away from the members
of Amalgamated Association
Local Division $50 whose
membership rights in CHA
are governed by contract be-
tween CHA and the join t
union-D. C. Transit Health
and Welfare Fund, their
present contract right to vote
on dues and assessments of
other members and on by
law amendments on these
subjects. The other would
take away their right to vote
in elections of CHA trustees.
At the same time, voting
rights of Federal employees,
whose membership rights are
governed by contract be-
tween CHA and the Civil
Service Commission, would
be preserved. Proposal I
would put off until next
spring any vote on new by
laws.
Whatever their intent may
be, adoption of either Of the
proposed bylaw amend
ments would be q backward
step. These are anti-union,
