and girl old enough to read should
memorize this unqualified warning by
the Secretary: Young people who at
tempt to find job without at least
a good high school education are COM
hitting economic suicide" That is a
way of saying that what they can ex-
pect out of life probably is not worth
having.
Mr.. Wirtz is not a pesSimiSt; he
is a realist. He has no fear Of auto
nation If young America faces the
challenge boldly. There is no doubt
that today "iob entrance requirements
are tougher, competition is sitter and
job content is far more complex"
But turn the other side Of the coin
with Mr.. Writ and find that: There
is virtually unlimited opportunity for
everyone who gives himself a good
education"
Everyone in the community can be
encouraged by these words. But they
must be applied first to the school
room, point every teacher and parent
should emphasize in helping to steer
youngsters toward a successful life.

no other city is there a
greater demand for public
money for the support Of its
unfortunate children. Con-
gress is often blamed for lack
of heart while refusing an
ever-increased appropriation
for the welfare Of destitute
children in this city Of light
and prosperity.
Any large and ever-larger
appropriation will never solve
the problem. And certainly
Congress would not be justi-
fled to give away taxpayers
money with no end in sight.
The time is ripe, I believe, to
look for the root of this
staggering evil. I would
suggest that the entire prob
lem be entrusted to an insti-
tuition Of research to survey it
in this city and in other
cities across the Nation and
abroad and come out with
some findings that may
enable the city management
and Congress to initiate a
policy to curb this anomalous
situation so that the parents
Of the most desirable city to
live in may be able to sup
port their legitimate or
illegitimate children.

AS former educator who knows
the value of preparedness, Secretary of
Labor Wirtz rarely misses an oppor-
tunity to drive home a point or two
on the subject. In blunt language, he
has warned that the Nation faces a
crisis within five years unless it meets
the employment needs of millions of
young people entering the labor market.
A major part of the responsibility,
Mr.. Wirtz emphasizes, lies with the
persons most intimately affected-the
young men and women who must COM
pete with one another for job oppor-
tunities.
This is where education comes in,
as the Secretary stresses once more

What Plan?

The sudden decision of the Mont
gomery County Council to grant small
lot subdivision coming to a massive
53O-acre tract in the wide-open western
spaces of the county near Poolesville
is simply amazing.
Up to now, the county policy has
been to discourage such intensive de-
velopment near Poolesville, In view Of
the absence of highways, water, sewers
and other expensive public services.
When similar coming effort failed
year or so ago, the property owners
attempted to get Poolesville to annex
their land, as means of removing 1t
from county control The town voted
against annexation. Accordingly, Mont
gomery's long-awaited master plan has
been drafted on the theory that this
area would remain in low-denSity de-
velopment.
Now, according to j. Newton Brewer,
the head Of the Montgomery Planning
Board, it may be necessary to COM
pletely revise the western part of the
plan.
But what good, really, would that
do? What good would any plan be?
There is no liaison, apparently, between
the Planning Board and the Council.
In recent coming actions the Council
has paid no attention whatsoever to
official plans. Planning, which not so
long ago meant something in Mont
gomery, lately has become farce. The
County Council, Of course, knows this.
And 1t couldn't care less.

The Wall

For the first time since 1861, Stille
Nncht and Tannenbaum will be sung
from the heart by thousands of Ger
mans to whom the words have merely
existed. The Wall has been preached
If ever so narrowly as time and space
are meaSured-enough that Christmas
will bring the Joy of reunion to many
East German homes.
Credit for these brief and touching
moments is claimed by the Communist
government of East Germany. 1t is a
hard point to dispute. Did not the
Communists build the ugly barrier that
i divides relatives and friends? But for
that miserable deed, the need never
would have arisen for this magnanimous
Christmas gesture.
If the intent of the Ulbricht gov
eminent was to slyly gain recognition
for the regime from West Berlin and
the Allies, it must be said the ploy
did not come off. Western negotiators
battled point by point and made it
clear, before agreeing to the offer, that
nothing would be changed in the status
Of Berlin.
In answer to any propaganda claims
by the SovietS, the West has an ir-
REPUTABLE rebuttal: ALI the home for
Christmas traffic was one way-into
East Berlin. Nobody was trusted to 90
the other way-into West Berlin. AS
for those enjoying the reprieve, their
thoughts will be far from Cold War
