How to Go Broke

Tax Foundation, Inc, is a private,
non-profit organization engaged in re-
search on expenditures and taxation by
Federal, State and local governments It's
modest purpose, 1t explains is set forth
in It's motto-"Toward Better Govern
ment Through Citizen Understanding"
In its latest compilation OF statistics,
Tax Foundation reports the following:
Each American familys average con-
tribution TO the total taxes collected In
fiscal 1862 by all the above levels Of gov
eminent amounted TO S3,005. For the
same period, the spending by these same
strata OF government figured out TO
S3,739 per same family. And Just for good
measure, the Foundation calculates that
at the end Of fiscal 1862 that same old
family could claim a share OF S8,129
Of the combined governmental debt.
II is not certain at all that study
Of these figures will lead to better

Judicial Donoer

Federal Judge Butzner's ruling in
the Powhatan County public schools case
has been held to mean that the county
supervisors must appropriate funds to
keep schools open unless all public
schools in Virginia are closed. If this is
correct, the District Judge has gone far
beyond anything decreed in the 1854
Supreme Court decision. And we do not
think it is an exaggeration to say that
local government is seriously threatened
with form of judicial tyranny.
II is no part Of our purpose to advo-
cate or support the closing of public
schools. Prince Edward has made this
costly mistake, and it would be deplor-
able to see the error repeated in Pow
hatan-or throughout the State. But if
the power of Federal Judge to punish
for contempt can be used to compel the
appropriation of school funds, against
the desire of the appropriating body
and the community, at what point, If
any, does this power end?
Happily, Judge Butzner has stayed
enforcement Of that part of his order
requiring immediate integration in
Powhatan - the part which could be
expected to precipitate showdown. This
will give time for ruling on similar
questions now pending before the Fourth
Circuit Court OF Appeals and, presum-
ably, an appeal to the Supreme Court.
This is all to the good For If the Con-
stitution now is to be held to mean that
Federal Judges NAV tell local GOVERNING
bodies that they must appropriate tax
money for this purpose or that purpose,
the Interpretation to this effect surely
should be made at the highest judicial
level.
Evening star., 1963-01-07

the coming year will serve a similar
function.
Perhaps the most significant point
OF all, however, is that this is at best
a temporary holding action. Even with
the Wilson Bridge, there has been no
improvement in central-bridge conges-
ton. Indeed traffic on Key Bridge in
creased sharply during the year. And as
every Virginia commuter can testify,
these bridges are strained to near the
breaking point during rush hours day
after day. The sad prospect is that such
relief as will be afforded by the Wilson
and Cabin John Bridges surely will be
inadequate to cope with the massive
demands for central-area crossings that
will continue to build up in the years
ahead. The scientific projections Of
future traffic are simply too great. That
is why the new Theodore Roosevelt
Bridge is now under construction, and
that is why the controversial Three
Sisters Bridge also must proceed on
an orderly schedule.
Evening star., 1963-01-07
Holding Action

Employees Of the Central Intelligence
Agency at Langley and those other COM
muters who have had occasion to use
the Cabin John Bridge already are loudly
and happily singing its praises. Beyond
its very consequential benefits in pro-
viding a fast, free-moving connection
between Montgomery County and the
upriver sections Of Northern Virginia,
moreover, this new span also is likely
to contribute another, less obvious value:
Some braking action in the mounting
congestion on other Potomac River
bridges
Certainly the experience Of the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge at Alexandria,
which opened to traffic on December %,
1851, seems to support this view. For
during the last year, while total Potomac
River crossings have increased tremen-
dously (more than $1,000 cars per day.
most Of this statistical rise has been
absorbed by the Wilson Bridge, with
traffic on the four other Potomac bridges
remaining fairly constant. The following
are the Highway Departments counts
OF total trips on each bridge during an
average weekday in November, 1861, as
compared with an average weekday
during NOVpnhpr 1850.

Conqo Settlement

Secretary of State Dean RuSk is
said to believe that there is now "a
real chance" for a quick settlement Of
the "Katanga problem" If this means
that the United Nations, by force of
arms, has smashed KatangaS resistance
and can now proceed to impose politi-
cal settlement, it probably is correct
The price will be high-not in a
military sense, for casualties in the
superior U. N force have been inSignifi-
cant. 1t will be expensive, however, in
terms of morality. For the U. N. with our
active support, is doing what it has no
authority to do under it's Charter, and
what it has repeatedly pledged that it
would not do.
The rationale is that Premier Adoula
OF the central government in Leopold
Vile must be effectively supported, and
that this can be done only by crush
ing Katanga'S secession and forcing
the President of that province, Noise
Tshome, to split its revenues with the
national government. Unless this is
done, 1t is argued, Adoula will fall, his
successor probably would be more Com
muniSt-oriented, and the Reds would
regain their foothold in the Congo. 1t
is argued further that the "Katanga
problem" must be dealt with promptly,
since the Indian troops, the best COM
bat unit in the u N. command, soon
will be withdrawn, and the U. N. funds
are running low.
Even If one accepts all this as being
factual, it still is an utterly cynical
attempt to Justify what is being done.
The U Thant plan, to cite but one
example, calls for adoption of a new
constitution for the Congo, under which
Katanga would enjoy a considerable
measure Of autonomy. This constitution
was submitted to the Leopoldville Par
lament last September, but it has never
been brought up for a vote. Why not?
Because Premier Adoula is afraid that
his Parliament, which has been "re-
ceSsed" until March, might vote down
the proposed constitution and vote him
out Of office at the same time So the
U. n, with American support, is in the
unadmirable position of using armed
force in violation of its Charter to
compel Tshombe to submit to a pro-
posed constitution which has never
been voted upon and which may never
be ratified
Whatever the expedient arguments
for this course, we do not think history's
judgment will be flattering.
