Home improvement contrac-
tors and their statesmen must
be licensed an put UP a $500
performance bond under an Or
dinance passed yesterday in
Fairfax County.
The Board of County Super
visors voted unanimously to
tighten restrictions on con-
tracted residential improves
ments in the $200-$20, 900 price
range. State law already covers
licensing of contractors doing
jobs valued at over $4,000.
John Haas of the General
Improvement Contractors Asso-
citation said the new bonding
requirement eliminated tn e
small local contractor in Fair
fax County" His association
fought the bonding part of the
ordinance at a public hearing
last month.
Supervisor Adelard E. Brault
opposed the bond during board
discussion because it "gives un-
Scrupulous contractors some
thing to hang their hats on"
He said it will be possible for a
contractor to be working at one
time on different jobs. whose
total value is far above $500.
In such cases, he warned, the
bond will not protect property
owners.
More Protection
Supervisor Robert C. Gotten
said the bond is at least added
protection against shoddy work.
Under the new ordinance,
contractors and statesmen must
prove their technical fitness
and competency to perform
home improvement work" before
they are licensed. They must al
so give evidence of financial
stability.
The law requires a written
contract between the contrac-
tor and home owner, containing
a written description of the
work to be done, the approx
mate start and finish dates,
and the terms of payment.
Licenses may be revoked for
misstatement or fraud in ad-
vertising or negotiation OF the
contract.
Immediately Effective
The ordinance goes into ef-
feet Immediately on an emer-
gency basis. Before its perma-
ment passage, the board will
hold a public hearing on parts
of the law that were frightened
yesterday by amendment.

Showing sparkling shoot n g form, the Kodiak Bears gunned down the invading Kenai Kardi- nals last weekend.
 Friday night the Bears won 59 to 48 and Saturday night trounced the Kardinals 67 to 52.
Kodiak mirror., 1963-12-20

Kenai Friday night led 13 to 8 at the first quarter and 28-24 at halftime. Then the Bears exploded in the third period with Jim Elem ing and Larry Dietzler setting the fuses, and the Kards were unable to cope with the blistering offense
 Fleming hit for 12 points in the third quarter while Dietzler can ned three baskets. It was Fleming who couldn't miss as drove across court off a post that the Kenai defense could not contain. Elem ing was also getting a major share of the rebounds.
 Most of the Bears shots in the first half were at long range, but the heavier and taller Bears be- gan to move in during the 35 point spree second half to run the Kards into the floor.
 Kenai, the less experienced club, showed well in the opening half, paced by Thor Evenson and Gary Martin. But against the Bears zone defense in the second half the wis itors found it difficult to break free for shots available to them in the opening minutes of play

when it comes to figurinI

When It comes to figuring out what
Red China is up to, one mans guess
seems Just about as good as another's.
In that respect, the East continues to be
inscrutable enough to make efforts at
explanation or Qualification amount to
sheer speculation, which events them
selves might blow up over night.
Still, the murderous forays south of
the Korean armistice line, the Chinese
Communist build-up on midas Hima-
layan frontier, the air Of heightened
tension in Laos and Wet Nam-all these
things suggest that something big and
deadly may be in the wind. Mao TIE
tung and his Peking co-conspirators are
not easy-going men, and conceivably--
as a result Of the theological lashing
they have suffered in Moscow-they may
be intent upon saving face by stirring up
some witches brew in ever-exploSive
Asia.
In any event, Mao is in terrible
temper. A plain indication Of this can
be found in what his regime has just
had to say about the Anglo American
Russian test-ban treaty. Assailing the
treaty as "dirty fraud" the official
statement goes. on to declare: 1.-THE
indisputable facts prove that the policy
pursued by the Soviet government is
one of allying itself with the forces of
war to oppose the forces of peace, ally
ing with Imperialism to oppose social
ism, allying with the United States to
oppose China, and allying with the
reactionaries Of all countries to oppose
the people of the world"
These are extraordinary words-the
harshest and most unforgivable yet
exchanged between Peking and Moscow.
In effect, despite the existence of a
formal Sino-Soviet political, economic
and military alliance, the Mao regime
now has openly asserted that the USSR
under Nikita Khrushchev, far from being
an ally, has become an enemy teamed
up with the devil (the United States)
against China. Clearly, this is charge
that brings the Chinese Communists to
the brink Of complete break with the
Kremlin. t=t
What else lies beyond that brink?
We may not have very long to wait
for an answer.

Pat Hurley was an American who

variety Of activities and occupations.
He was equipped to do so, and he liked
doing 1t. He was distinguished in APP

In physical stature, General Hurley
was tall, handsome and possessed Of the
commanding presence. The uniform of
an Army officer and the formal wear of
the diplomat alike we're becoming to
him, and he to them. In earlier years,
no doubt he wore with similar flair the

fashioned to fit all Of these roles, not
TO overlook those of cabinet officer and
successful lawyer-outgoing and col
ored with an instinct for the dramatic.
II was not surprising that contro-
versy sometimes attended Pat Hurley's

no punches about expressing his opin-
ions, and some of them were bruising.

Barry Opens His Mind

Senator Goldwater, suspected by
some of being merely destructive critic,
Of having no firm positions Of his own,
has taken firm position on the test
ban treaty.
His position is: He's keeping an open
mind on the treaty.
This announcement, made the other
day to the Beauty and Barber Supply
Institute, should resolve anyone'S linger-
ing doubts about the Arizona Senator's
seriousness as candidate. AS politi-
clan moves more closely toward the
highest office in the land, his thought
moves correSpondingly toward the firm
position of on-the-one-hand
on-the- ther-hand-no. The cynical
dismiss this evolution of statesman as
evincing only the desire to ALLEVIATE no
part Of the electorate, to gather In all
possible votes. That's not the entire
case. In addition, the politician moving
in from the fringes of power toward the
possibility Of occupying It's center begins
progressively to notice qualifying aspects
of situations that he hadn't noticed be-
fore or that didn't seem very important.
Thus the simple axiom, "Commu-
niSts cannot be trusted" has to be
weighed against the slowing down of the
arms race and against the values Of
not polluting the atmosphere through
nuclear testing. The fact is, we have no
simple problems. The supplemented left
still believes all problems can be solved
by American generosity; the simple
minded right, that American toughnesS
is the answer. The truth, of course, is
that there is no single answer, no abso-
lutte doctrine Of strategy by adhering to
which we can deal successfully with
every crisis that comes along.
The retreat from simplicity is not
retreat from principle but percep-
ton OF complexity. AS such, 1t is a.
hopeful sign in a man who just may
become President And 1t is certainly
a sign that the man himself entertains
that possibility.

Relief From Relief

Because the investigative proce-
dures were different, 1t is impossible to
draw completely accurate comparison
between District welfare abuses and
those Just turned up nationally by the
Health, Education and Welfare Depart
ment. It is unfair, for example, to
measure the Districts 81 per cent of
relief ineligibles sampled a few months
ago against the 5.4 per cent now figured
as the national average. The reason
is that much tougher ground rules were
applied in the District than for the
country as q whole.
In any event, such comparisons are
less important than the fact that some
thing finally is being done. to resist
this cankerouS growth on the welfare
program. Suddenly, there is a dawning
that, II we are not drifting into a well
fare state, at least growing part of
the population has found it convenient
to live off the labors of their fellow
men. For uttering less than this, one
could be called antisocial these days,
were it not for few stubborn men like
Senator Byrd of West Virginia.
Senator Byrd it was who pricked
the conscience of, first, the District
Welfare Department, and on the success
Of that performance, encouraged a ma
tional purge. From the beginning, he
made 1t clear that he, as much as any
one, had nothing but sympathy for the
genuinely needy, but that the chiSelers
must go. (As 1t turns out, incidentally,
Senator Byrd apparently needs to do a
little home work in West Virginia, since
his own State was caught in the HEW
probe with the highest relief ineiigi-
bility rate Of any State, 17.3 per cent?
What has happened in the District
is worth repeating During the past
fiscal year, the average monthly case
load was reduced 1,456 below that of
fiscal 1862. And the forecast for fiscal
1864 is an additional 1,7S4 decrease,
for a saving Of more than $1.1 million
as the Districts cost Of public assistance
grants. .....s
Now HEW promises to tighten up
welfare programs in the States with
more careful and frequent case reviews
to rid the rolls Of hangers-on and dead
beats.

Tim'rous Beostie

Back in 1946 the United States was
lending encouragement to a Commu-
nist-inspired move in the United Nations
to destroy the Franco government in
Spain We must have known that this
would be harmful to our own interests.
But we didn't want to offend the Com
munistS.
Now it's Portugal's turn. And the
great United States is again trying to
carry water on both shoulders. The
showdown came in a Security Council
vote demanding that Portugal get out
Of Africa. We didn't want to offend
Portugal. And we didn't want to an
tagonize the So-called newly emerged
African states. So we abstained on the
vote, and wound up infuriating both
sides.
Meanwhile, one reads inspired dis
patches that this country needn't worry
about It's air bases In the Azores, which
happen to belong to Portugal. We can
always move our bases to Spain, these

THE PASSING SCENE
BY WILLIAM S. WHITE
Prudence on The NucIeor Treaty

the pact Is relatively mean
ingless except as It may offer
some hope Of genuine prog
ress later in easing the cold
war.
What viii ultimately be
controlling in the Senate
will be the course Of the
negotiations shortly TO be
undertaken with the Russ
slams on their proposal fof@
some sort Of "non-aggres-t
sion agreement" between the
Western Alliance and the
Soviet satellites in the War
saw Pact. This is the true
heart of it all. So long as
the United States does not
grant recognition to COM
munist East Germany,
through such an agreement,
then all will be well with the
treaty in the Senate.
The Price OF A Deal
If, however, the admins
tration became enmeshed in
some deal which our Allies,
notably West Germany, could
reasonably see as tending to
let them down, there would
be the very devil to pay. The
IL to public support thus
far reported from the White
House--and no doubt quite
honestly reported - would
mean little then. First Of all,
such support would no longer
exist. And even If. miracu-
lously, 1t did the Senate
would be, as always. far more
resistant to such quick and
easy public emotionalism
than any other part Of this
Government. And the Senate,
in its true mind down under
meath, is already far more
anxious about possible bugs
in this approach to the Soviet
Union than would appear on
the surface.
In summary, then, the true
position is this: Ratification
on all present circumstances
is highly probable. II the vote
were taken at this very
moment, something better
than a two-thirds majority
might be nationally envisaged
this not because Of any
deep trust in the arrange
ment but mainly and simply
because few responsible men
would like to repudiate the
President at such q time. But
the vote Is far in the future.
The prudent will wait q while
before posting the final score.
Finally. the prudent will
also not bank too much on
the bipartisan Senatorial del
egation chosen to 60 to
Moscow with Secretary Of
State Rusk for the treaty
signing. These are splendid
fellows. But in terms Of
aggregate influence within
the Senate, in either party,
this delegation on the whole
is a little short of what 1t
takes.

Applying Talent

The need of q cul-
tural center In Washington
is. being widely pub
licized and is reaching, as
never before, into places
usually occupied with other
enterprises. That the doings
and public nature of art
and artists become so keen
ly appreciated, no worker in
the arts can complain, but
that so little use Is being
made of the artists them
selves in executive positions
outside of their contribution
as performers is q disappoint-
ing aspect of the current cul-
tural drives. Treating artists
as special kinds Of people, set
apart from practical cap
abilities, carries on the
misrepresentation foStered
by the chaos Of an earlier
Industrial development. The
past separations Of use and
enjoyment had so estab-
lished the alienation Of the
artist from practical occupa-
tons that it Is thought to be
O natural condition. Past at
titudes carry over today, as
fossils, impractical remnants.
In the world Of science,
chronological and executive
responsibilities 60 hand In
hand; many leading admin
istrators are drawn from
the laboratories in q very
natural sequence Of interests.
But IN the case Of artists, VIC
have yet to grow UP to the
realization, q recognition nov
overdue by the community as
well as the creative worker,
that the same natural sequ-
ence Of interest leads the
artist towards the admins
tration Of his affairs. In q
highly developed civilization
which depends on the Coop
erative actions of all, we can
not afford the waste that iso-
lates a particular class Of
workers, on the grounds Of
some superannuated myths.
Poets, painters, musi-
clans, dancers and artists Of
all kinds, In expressing and
enhancing the quantities Of
experience are no less INTEL
ligent than their compeers
in other fields Of endeavor;
their concern for the COM
mon welfare is no less than
other mems, their abilities
to represent themselves and
others In directive capacities
are no less In evidence than
in the case Of scientific. in
dustrial, and Government
workers.
