Prods BroyhU


During the 1862 campaign,
Congressman Joel T. Broy-
hill emphasized his 10 years
seniority on the House Dis
trict Committee and his
position as senior Republic
can and member Of the
leadership Of that committee.
He, himself. commented that
1t was unusual for a Republic
can to be as close to the
Democratic chairman of that
committee as he Is. His COL
laboration has resulted over
the years in his being per-
mitted to introduce a sub
stantial amount Of commit
tee legislation.
During these 10 years, con-
ditions in the District have
grown steadily worse until
In a real sense they are now
intolerable. The Nations
Capital. which should be q
showcase Of democracy, Is q
mass Of problems In crime,
welfare. education, highways,
parking and particularly fl
nance.
Republican Senator Keat-
ing has called the record of
these 10 years shameful"
and dismal" and has blunt
ly stated that under demo-
cratic government those re-
sponsible for this situation
would be thrown out Of Of
flee. It Is clear that he In
cludes the leadership Of the
House District Committee
among those responsible, and
he states that the commit
tee has been publicly
charged with treating the
Districts children as "pawns
in q wicked game designed
to prove that desegregation
cannot succeed" He rightly
states that urban problems
are planted by indifference,
watered by neglect OF duty
and flourish In q climate
OF political responsibility"
President Kennedy, In q his
toric move. has submitted TO
Congress a special message
setting forth q thoughtful
program to put the District
on a sound fiscal basis and
to attack these serious prob
lens at the root by remov-
ing their causes.
Congressman Broyhill Is,
OF course, under no obliga.
ton to support the Presi-
dents proposals. II. however,
he does not support them.
he has an obligation 10 his
constituents, who are much
more seriously affected by
conditions in Washington
than are Senator Keating's,
10 let US know what he does
plan TO do to correct these
conditions.
! call on Congressman
Broyhill TO propose a pro-
gram for the eradication OF
these intolerable conditions,
TO state publicly whether he
defends or repudiates the
performance OF the leader
ship Of his committee. and 10
respond TO the charge re-
peated by Senator Heating
that the committees actions
are motivated by blind OPP
position to the success OF q

ROME.

ROME.
Despite official denials,
rumors Of q meeting between
President Kennedy and Pre-
mier Khrushchev during the
Presidents forthcoming trip
to Europe are flying thick
and fast in all European cap
itals.
The rumors. perhaps, are
inevitable. Summitry in re-
cent years has become q kind
OF seasonal madness like
spring fever. And today there
Is enough evidence that some
thing Is cooking to give spe-
cial impetus to normal specu-
lations.
The denials, Of course, do
no good at all. There are
always denials until all de.
tails Of these affairs are
pinned down and allied gov
ernments informed.
No one has forgotten Mr..
Kennedy's last trip to Eu-
rope when rumors Of his
meeting with Mr.. Khrushchev
in Vienna also were firmly
denied until q few days be-
fore the Presidents arrival in
Europe.
Officials Are Skeptical
More convincing perhaps Is
the private skepticism Of peo-
pie who should know that a
new meeting Is in the works.
So far as officials In Rome
are concerned. this skepticism
Is undoubtedly sincere. This
does not change the fact that
under the New Frontier, off,
cials In the field are some
times not as well informed as
they ought to be.
On the positive side, there
are quite q number Of people
who would dearly love to
have such q meeting take

WESTWARD TIL L, The
American West Today. BY

James A. Kitchener. Maps

It's hard to get away with
old-fashioned boosterism In
these sophisticated times. The
thing to do Is to produce a
panegyric leavened with ref
erences to problems. Then
you have q study.
Neil Morgan, who writes a
column called Assignment
West" for q large number OF
Western newspapers, has not
gone quite this far in "WeSt-
ward Tilt" But he has gone a
good deal further than one
would like.
Despite Its relatively mod
est number Of pages, West
ward Tilt" is a long book; 1t
is nearly 10 inches tall and
the type Is rather small. II
Is devoted to q large subject:
The present state Of affairs
in the IL States, all or part of
which lie In or west of the
Rockies. Most Of these States
are growing and changing
very rapidly.
No one will deny the prop
osition that a good deal of
the future Of the United
States lies In this area. And
no one will deny that 1t Is a
good idea to have q clearer
notion Of what is going on
there than many Fasteners
do have.

Morgan makes q swing

beginning In each case with
q bit Of general history and
going on to characterize de-
velopments In the major re-

It is probably inevitable
that q man undertaking q
task Of this sort will have q
general prejudice In favor of
growth and expansion per sc,
and that this prejudice will
not be exercised by occa-
sional declarations TO the eff
feet that Of course there Is
q distinction TO be drawn be-
tween good and bad devel-
opment.
The real trouble with

Mr.. Morgan's tendency 10

is not q panegyric. remember
- and then simply TO over

But this will not work. The

FAMOUS FABLES

CHANGE: AS a boy, con-
ductor Sir John Barbirolli
studied to be a violinist.
He had too much youthful
energy, however. to remain
in one spot while he prac-
ticed. With the fiddle under
his chin he would wander
about the house, playing as
he wandered.
His father and his grand
father. both accomplished
violinists. watched this per-
Torrance with increasing
distress. 1t was obvious that
the boy had musical talent,
but how were they to make
him stay put?
Finally they hit upon an
answer. They took away the
violin and gave him a cello.
Immobilized by the sheer
weight Of the instrument,
Barbirolli had no choice
other than to concentrate on
the musical page in front OF
him. He developed into a
cellist Of the first rank.

The husband seems to have
his life on ice. With $255 a

that would give the wife a

II years; by splitting the
pension before it starts so
