Food for the Needy

Commissioner Duncan's proposal
that the District seek participation in
the Agriculture Departments food stamp
program in lieu Of It's present program
of surplus food distribution deserves
serious study.
In his farm message to Congress,
President Kennedy praised the food
stamp plan as "eminently successful"
in providing additional food supplies to
needy families in selected communities
around the country, and said it should
be expanded. AS between the two pro-
grams, from the Commissioners point
of view, the Federal plan has obvious
advantages. Its provisions for the direct
purchase Of food at grocery stores elimi-
mates entirely the troublesome problems
of distributing surplus food. 1t increases
to some degree the likelihood that public
relief grants intended for food purchases
will be spent for that purpose. 1t affords
needy families a wider choice in their
selection of foods. And it would serve
essentially the same group of people as
the surplus program.
The reservations expressed by Com
mlSSioners Tobriner and Clarke, however,
also are understandable. First, there is
doubt about whether there would be
room for the District within the limited
scope Of the Federal plan in the near
future-and certainly this question is
the first which should be resolved.
Secondly, despite the Presidents praise
for it, the food stamp plan still is a
relatively new experiment, which has
raised number Of questions to which
some local officials say they do not yet
have all the answers.
While this new approach is under
study, therefore, the Commissioners
must also develop means of improving
the existing surplus food program in the
event that activity should be retained.
If the city continues to maintain a
single distribution point for surplus
food, there obviously will have to be
better controls on the private delivery
men" who have made a lucrative and
largely unsupervised business out Of
carting food for the needy. They should
not overlook, however, the possibility of
developing a system of decentralized
distribution which would be more effec-
tive than the one that was tried In the
past and abandoned.

CONGRESS and the GA

AS former director Of the organi-
cation, Allen Dulles writes with authority
in his article declaring that there should
be no further congressional curbs on the
United States Central Intelligence
Agency This super-secret enterprise,
of course, embraces some of our Govern
ment's most delicate and most danger
Gus operations, and 1t therefore bears
vitality on the security Of the Nation.
That Is why Mr.. Dulles argues that 1t
must be exempted from controls nor
mally exercised by either the House or
the Senate, or both working together
in the form of Joint committee. AS he
has put 1t, 1--WE are faced by an antagonist
the Kremlinl that has raised the art of
espionage to an unprecedented height"
and in such circumstances there Is need
to put bride on the American inclina-
ton ITO talk too much about matters
that should be classified"
These matters, according to Mr..
Dulles, most certainly include the GAS
operations, which could be greatly
hampered-and perhaps washed out
altogether-if subjected to constant
congressional gossip, scrutiny and badg-
ering Of sort that could let out all the
secrets This strikes us as a solid point,
but Democratic Senator Morse Of Oregon
has firm views to the contrary. He be-
lieveS that the CHA exercises police-state
powers that should be taken away from
it forthwith, and he intends to speak
at length on the issue in the next
week or so. The event will be awaited
with interest, especially in view Of the
Senator's formidable capacity to speak
at length. Meanwhile, it must be hoped
that there will be no politicking in this
exceedingly sensitive area.

Give to the Heart Fund

There are two figures to keep In
mind when someone representing the
Heart Association calls on you Sunday:
U Ten million Americans suffer from
some form Of heart or circulatory disease
and (2) 100000, or about half the deaths
last year, we're caused by cardiovascular
disease.
II this is not pleasant to contem-
plate, 1t is more reason to loosen the
purse strings to the thousands of volun-
teers who will ask their neighbors TO
contribute to the Heart Associations of
Washington and Maryland. virginia
held It's drive earlier but, Of course,
donations are always welcome.)
Something else to remember: II
heart disease is still the No. killer, the
story would be much grimmer without
the American Heart Association and It's
affiliates. In the brief Is years OF It's
life, the Heart Association has put more
than SIS million into productive research.
During that time, heart fatalities
for persons rs TO A have dropped SO
per cent. Great gains have been made in
surgery PREPARING congenital defects in
children and replacing defective ar
teries), in drugs for apprehension, in
prevention OF rheumatic fever, in getting
heart patients back to active living. The
future for preventive and curative
methods looks even brighter, provided
science is given the financial resources
1t needs. And that is why an open heart

Profound Observer

Congratulations upon the
splendid column OF February
IL. by Crosby s. Noyes en-
titled "A Great Man Bears
Watching" and the same for
all OF his reports from Paris.
His profound observations
are without parallel In sub
tie humor and parody Of the
empty pieces serious re-
porters attempt TO write on
foreign affairs.
The piece referred TO Is
the best OF all. probably on
account OF his analysis OF
great men. Of whom he says,
I'm their own way. President
Kennedy, Prime Minister
Macmillan and Chancellor
Adenauer may well be great
men. but they are certainly
not nuts. E. Gen. de Gaulle,
by many peoples reckoning,
may rate as something Of a
nut"

schools. suggests that I'VE
ponder the view from the
other side Of the fence" The
writer had the courage and
vision to inquire, isn't it q
natural instinct for the one
who hasn't to try to get it
from the one who has or at
least a small satisfying por-
tion?" This attacks the prob
EN- at its source. Yet our en-
tire western Christian civiliz-
alton is based upon the view
that man has natural in
stincts Of this nature.
At Jane Adams famous
Hull House in Chicago, dur
ing the exciting Capone
gangster era, we had a group
OF boys most Of whom had
an older brother In Jail as q
member Of the "42 Gang"
These boys worshipped their
elder brothers. The boys were
marvellous at stealing. They
looked at us as nice. friendly,
people. "a little crazy" for
trying to curb their profita-
BILE instincts. Nevertheless,
they finally overcame these
instincts. We first helped
them to earn enough to buy
a basketball. Then the bas-
ketball disappeared" The
effect was magic. There were
the widest determinations
until we suggested that
others might feel the same
way when our boys stole their
bicycle or baseball or pen
MES. They understood the
philosophy do unto others"
where they didn't understand
punishment. They did not
learn about this by studying
arithmetic or manual train
ing In the public schools.
Whipping might have helped
a little. But we thought that
the philosophy which the
founder Of the first public
school system insisted on
teaching TO all children,
along with the ABC's, was
the best method OF curing
these natural instincts.
This practical philosophical
and spiritual education Is
barred today from our public
schools largely because Il is
now miscalled religious in
doctrination." Nor was II
available In the homes OF the
az Gang" And there was
no law forcing them TO 90 to
a school where they could get
this education. Perhaps
someone will come up with a
better method OF curbing this
instinct than that which our
civilization developed.

'Puny by Comparison

Americans are not alone in thinking
that they have long been carrying a
diSproportionate share of the great
burden OF Western defense. Actually,
in their franker moments, our friends
abroad openly acknowledge as much
and concede that something ought to
be done about it.
An impressive case in point Is the
speech Just delivered by the Earl of
Home, .Britain's Foreign Secretary. Ad-
dressing himself to an international
study group in southern England, he
mas flatly declared that 1.-THE immense
size CT the American effort makes the
contributions Of the rest of us seem
puny by comparison" And he has gone
on to add, II would feel that the United
States has a grievance at the relatively
heavy payments she is making to Eu-
rope, and that this is a subject which
needs denomination"
After all, as Lord Home has ex-
planned, at has been the United States
deterrent, and that alone, that has kept
the Russians guessing and kept Europe
intact" AS for the monetary costs in
volved, he has pointed out that the
Western alliances total 1862 arms
OUTLAWS amounted to $73 billion, of which
over $54 billion was contributed by
America. Moreover, as the British For
eign Secretary has said, our country's
effort has been increased by massive
contributions to the defense budgets of
poorer countries" and the other mem
bers Of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization Just have not been doing as
much as they can and should. BY way
OF example, whereas we have been
devoting more than 10 per cent of our
gross national product to military re-
quirements, our allies-Britain, France,
Germany, etc.-have been devoting
considerably less, in the neighborhood
of per cent and under.
President Kennedy has made the
same point on more than few occasions
In the recent past, and so have Secretary
OF State RuSk and Defense Secretary
Mcnamara. Thus, as the President OBJ
served some time ago, no country In
NATO "is putting as many men and as
large portion Of its population and
its gross national product into defense
as we are" Accordingly, since the
United States is more than doing its
part" it has reason to expect or at least
hope that western Europe will make
a greater effort on its own"
Lord Home apparently feels very
much the same way, and it is good to
have him say so. His words merit the
careful consideration not only of his
own countrymen, but also of all other
peoples in the Atlantic alliance-par-
ticularly the French and the Germans.
