Life Is Like That

The most surprising thing about
George Remnants statement on the i'm
pact of politics on foreign policy is the
fact that he was surprised. For life in
these United States has been like that
for long time.
Mr. Remnants statement was pre-
pared by the former Ambassador to
YugoSlavia at the request of Senator
Jackson, Democrat of Washington, and
submitted to the latter'S subcommittee
on National Security Stating and OPP
erations 1t dealt with several things,
but was directed most specifically to
the congressional decision to exclude
YugoSlavia land Poland) from oppor-
tunity to trade on equal terms with
other countries in the United States
market.
Mr.. Kennan thinks this was a Seri-
Gus mistake So do we, and we hope
Congress will act favorably on the OPP
portunity now before it to correct this
error. 1t is not possible for us, however,
to share Mr.. Remnants surprise and
even shock at the congressional action.
He said that this unfavorable decision
was taken "in the face of the most
solemn and formal warnings and OBJ
jections on my part, conveyed to con-
greSSional leaders on many occasions
and in many ways" Further, he de-
clared, he would not have accepted the
YugoSlav assignment in 1861 had he
known "how little value the Congress
would assign to my own judgment in
the light Of an experience of nearly 80
years in the affairs Of the Eastern Eu-
ropean area"
Mr.. Remnants sense of Illustration
is understandable. 1t seems evident,
however, and this may be most I'M
fortunate, that he is much better quail
fled as an expert on Eastern Europe
than on what makes Congress tick. A
closing comment in his statement is
illustrative on this point. Suggesting
that the Secretary of State should func-
ton somewhat in the nature of prime
minister, Mr. KEENAN, urged that lex
ternal problems Of the country should
be given precedence over the internal
ones, and that foreign policy should not
be permitted to become function of
domestic political convenience"
True-all too true. The only hitch
is that 1t is not going to come to pass
in Mr. Remnants lifetime or in ours. For
the American political leopard, barring
some miracle not now on the horizon, is
not going to change its spots.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-11-05

Something is always coming along
to rub in that getting-older feeling. 1t
used to be the shock of seeing your old
school chum after 20 years with his
grown children. How the guy has aged!
Now it is reading about the first
computer, old Univac I, retiring to pas
ture without digital care in the world.
And more recently, real jolt. The
reactor that helped usher in the Atomic
Age-it seems only yesterdays being
retired with full honorS.
After all, it has been 20 years since
old X-10 went into business at Oak
Ridge. At first, it was strictly deadly
business leading to the bombs of Hiro-
Shimo and NagaSaki. In later years,
old X-10 has worked more for the good
of men than for evil. We hope his late
model successors fare as well.

Frankly Speaking

It was unsporting conduct of con-
gresham here unnamed to announce
last week that unless the franking priv
ilegeS of the House of Representatives
were left alone by the Senate, he, the
here unnamed congressman, would re-
veal that a certain unnamed Senator
had on his office payroll two unnamed
call girls.
He had found out about this, he
said, in conversation at a party. The
mind boggles at the gambit: well,
miss, and what do you do in the Sen
ator'S Officer" why, and my friend
here are -" Etc.
But to reveal this private converSa-
ton, in public, without naming names,
is to accuse the entire 100 Senators and
their entire several hundred employees.
For the amount of wanton insult thus
distributed, the unnamed congressman
could have bought himself an awful
lot of stamps.

Still the Chill

In a move which can hardly be
written off as an accident, the Kremlin
has given special emphasis to the warn
ingS just voiced against it at the annual
Parliamentary Conference of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. This it
has done by once again stopping a
United States Army convoy en- route to
West Berlin, and repulsing our efforts
to push through the blockade.
The warnings have come principally
from NATO'S Secretary General Striker
and General Lemnitzer, the alliances
Supreme Commander in Europe. Mr..
Striker has cautioned against wiShfully
interpreting the Sino-Soviet split as
something that must surely, ipSo facto,
be good for free Europe and possibly
drive the USSR into the arms of the
West. AS for General Lemnitzer, he has
made no bones about the matter. In
his judgment, there has been no basic
change in the Kremlin's policy, no
"Softening" of any kind. 1t still is a
policy aimed at "burying" our side and
commanding the entire globe.
Thus, StreSSing that the nuclear
test-ban treaty is strictly limited in
character and meaning, the general has
had this to say: 1T is extremely i'm
portant to recognize that it the treaty
in no way reduces the existing magni-
tude or capability of the forces which
make up the military threat to NATO.
-. think it is also clear that the con-
tfnued existence of undated Commu-
mist military strength means {. that
the effectiveness of NATO is essential
for the achievement of possible further
progress toward agreement between the
Communist and free world"
All this is in line with what Presi
dent Kennedy said recently at the Uni
versity of Maine. I'VE still live in the
shadow of war;" he declared, and basic
American-Soviet differences will give
rise to further crises, large and small,
in the months and years ahead" as the
United States strives, slowly and pain
fully, to make progress toward a real
detente. The big goal, still far off, is
firm political settlements - on Berlin
and other explosive matters - trust
worthy enough to establish genuine
and enforceable peace"
But the current incident on the road
to Berlin, which threatens to escalate
in most serious way, confirms the
bleaker part of the Presidents Maine
address. The chill in the cold war is
still very formidable and menacing.
What it means, of course, is that the
free West, while hoping for the best,
must keep on being prepared for the
worst

FOCUS ON THE NEWS
The Water Question and GOIdwuter
By CHARLES BARTLETT

people in the upper income
brackets, and SO per cent OF
educators and editors.
Goldwater has justified the
contradiction Of his stands
on these two projects by
arguing that the CAP VIII re-
pay the Government while
the iva will not. It is true
that the revenues derived
from the sale of water ana
power are expected to enable
the Arizona project to pay
back the Federal investment
with interest in so years.
The iva did not begin 50
years ago with a plan OF
repaying the appropriation
investment but amendments
by Congress through the
years have turned it In that
direction. 1t now pays for us
new construction by selling
bonds and the old level OF
appropriation investment has
been reduced by repayment
to sI.2 billion. All Of this Will
be paid back with the equiv
alent of interest within 90
years except for 5000 million
that was exempted by Con-
gress in order to protect the
Governments title to the
properties in the future.
Could Be Troublesome
Goldwater has emphasized
the question Of repayment,
on which there is little dir
ference between the projects,
instead Of the more familiar
issue Of public versus private
power. The Arizona pro- ect
will not compromise the Sem
ator's stand against public
power since the electricity
generated by the dams will
he marketed through existing
utilities.
But If he goes into the
California primary, the pro-
ject will be troublesome for
him because the people there
are inclined to regard it as
an Arizona plot against their
water supply.
And since the authorizing
bill is slated for debate in the
Senate next winter, Goldwa-
ter may confront the con-
tradiction Of crusading in the
Nation against Government
spending while he struggles
in Congress to secure 81 bill
lion for one project that will
benefit slightly more than
one million people, all Arizo-
mans.

Avenue Goes Modern

The Star Of October 81
notes the demiEe of another
Pennsylvania Avenue Ian d.
mark, the Raleigh Hotel, to
be replaced by a monolithic
office structure. This action
has a double significance.
First, it removes an excellent
example Of late Victorian ar
chitecture from the cosmo-
politan atmosphere of the
Avenue, leaving the Willard
Hotel and the old Post
Office as the only representa-
tiveS Of that period. However,
the Willard, too, is scheduled
to pass from the scene, as is
the old Post Office, accord
ing TO the plans of the Presi-
dents Committee for the
Avenue.
In the end we will probably
have a national showcase,
one side of which will be
pseudo-classical temples and
the other modernistic glass
boxes. But secondly, and
more Importantly, the Aven-
ue will be dead. The north
side will come to resemble
the south-all office build
ings and no people. Activity
will be restricted to business
hours, and even then 1t will
be performed only by office
workers going and coming.

Fish Scare

Although it has had an unfortu-
nate economic impact on a portion of
the fish industry, the Food and Drug
Administration used sound judgment
in warning the public against the pur-
chase of certain types of fish products.
The FDA's original warning made
it clear that only smoked fish from
the Great Lakes region, sold in plastic
containers or in bulk, was suspected
of harboring deadly botuliSm poison
ing, from which seven persons had
died. However, the industry later COM
planned that public misunderstood
had caused such pinch in the market
that 1t was necessary to lay off 10000
workers.
This is a regrettable effect which
has famed out to wholesale and re-
tail markets throughout the country,
with losses comparable to, If not as
costly as, the well-remembered cram
berry scare of four years ago.
What caused the outbreak of the
toxic organisms in the first place, in
section where smoked fish has been
proceSSed for many years, is mystery
investigators still must solve.
The Governments first obligation
in such emergencies is the public safety.
Meanwhile, the National Fisheries In
Stitute has announced that henceforth
smoked fish from the Great Lakes will
be marketed only as frozen products.
BotuliSm cannot develop in below
which should restore public confidence
and soon make the fish scare as re-
mote as the cranberry scare now is.
