fftany abuses have grown up to aggravate
a basically questionable waterways policy.
The coming to power of a new adminis-
tration next month provides a fitting ex-
cuse for reviewing this entire program
with the intent of putting it on a sound,
economical footing.
Such a review has been wisely sug-
gested by a congressional subcommittee
. that has spent 15 months studying the
country’s public wqrks programs.
The investigators discovered that Con-
gress has a. backlog of §49 separate pro-
4$, jects which have been authorized but not
even started. It would take about 25
years to complete these, at ’steadily in-
creasing cost. One dates from 19l7-„and
many from the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Undoubtedly dozens of these project*.,
could well be scrapped. Lawmakers play
a little game. They sell their congression-
al brethren on the idea of merely author-
izing a particular project, saying they
don’t intend to ask for funds right,off. At
home, they may then’ point proudly to the
2 authorization.
Their plan actually is to follow up this
step by getting a small “token” appropri-
ation “just to get the project started.” .
Again, the object is to impress the home
- folks. And also to commit Congress so it
' will feel compelled to keep on voting
money. But, obviously, this plan often
; does not come off, and hundreds of author-
ized projects are left hanging.
The whole list ought to be scanned
with a cold eye by men concerned first
- with the national well-being and security,
not with buttering up a lawmaker’s con-
stituents. Only the most essential should
be kept on.
Around $4 billion will he needed to
finish waterways jqbs now under actual,
construction. If the whole 949-item back-
log were to be undertaken as well, its com-
pletion would cost at’least another $8 bil-
lion. We ought to be able to shave at least
$3 billion off that total.
The absolutely indispensable costs of
government are so steep nowadays that we
can no longer afford the luxury of this
kind of mutual congressional back-scratch-
ing.___. _
Washington Letter...
BY JANE EAPS
AJ*. STAFF WRITER
Washington.—“Who-said-ita” sometimes con-
stitute a major headache for scholarly sleuths in.,
the Congresionsl Reading Room of the Library of
Congress.
We get a large number of phone calls and
letters asking for information on the sources of
T quotations used by people in public speeches,
or about quotation* congressmen themselves wish
, doits iNeuis-fflelegnim
to use," e. M. Wilson, chief of the reading room,
told m*.
"We don’t want, to let these queries interfere
' With our main business, the reader service; but we
try diligenty to track every saying down. We can
usually spot a quotation in from 10 minutes to an
hour, bet wc get some sticklers. Often we publish
these In the library's information bulletin, ssklhg
help from~bur feltdw Hhrsrinns;”—------------------------
Probably the largest number of qu9tation* peo-
ple ask about are traced to Lincoln, Jefferson and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Wilson said. “They are be-
ing quoted more and more as time goek by," he
added, “buj during the recent political campaigns'
the Democratic presidential candidate, Gov. Adlai
Stevenson, stirred up. quite a business for us."
Some of the quotations used by the erudite
candidate are still giving the reading room staff
furrows in the brow. They recently asked tor leads
to help in the identification of the following:
“On the Plains of Hesitation !
•“Bleach the bones of countless thousands
"Who on the eve of Victory rested—
“And, resting, died."
Wilson said that after much inquiry they got
some clues attributing the quote to George W.
Cecil, an advertising man, who uses the name of
William. Lawrence in his writing, though some
doubt he originated the vei'se.
Of the nine other quotes currently listed for
identification in the information bulletin, only one
had been identified at the time I talked with Wil-
son. Among the unidentified ones is, “We shall
force the U, S. to spend itself into destruction."
This, Wilson told me, wax said to be in Lenin’s
“Collected Works" but was not found there.
Others include: “Never treat with a successful
enemy," believed made by some Roman general or
statesman, and “A law without penalties is no
more than a pious resolution.”

WRIGHT PATMAN'S

Tf/ASHINGTON—(NEA)—The military search for an answer to
" the Korean riddle include* eight principal moves. Thfey are:
A complete blockade of the China coast.
More American aid for France in Indo-China.
More aid for Chinese Nationalists on Formosa
Withdrawal of the U. S. 7th Fleet from Formosa Straits.
■" Sending at least three more U. S. divisions to the Orient.
Use of Chinese Nationalist divisions either against the Chinese
mainland or in Korea. ' • ■- -»V
Equipping of 10 more South Korean divisions.
Use of atomic weapons.
The time limit on just getting ready to do all these things is said
to be 12 to 14 months.
The cost of doing them all has been conservatively estimated at
doubling the present cost.of the Korean war. This is roughly five
billion dollars a year. * .
The ultimate action might be a request to Congress for a declara-
tion of war against Communist Chins. No one it pushing this action.
There is a hope that many of the measures would not have to be
used. This is based on a" belief that the mere preparation to carry
out these plans would force the Communists to accept a peace
settlement.
'THE easiest new action to carry out is the blockade against the
•*• China coast, from Indo-Chins to Korea. It is considered an effec-
tive measure to use. It would shut off shipments of tin, rubber,
petroleum products and other strategic materials.
Objection to this action comes principally from the British, because
of their interests in Hong Kong and the use of British ships in the
China trade. Other ships in this trade are principally of Greek and
Panamanian registry.
But all three of these countries are under obligations to the
United States. A firm stand by this country could force acceptance
of the blockade plan.
A top priority for military assistance to Indo-Chins is based on
two considerations. The first is a belief that the war there cgp be
won Before there is direct Chinese Communist interference. The
second is that it is short-sighted policy to continue bleeding Fngnce
for the Indo-Chinese war. It is more important to build up France
as the keystone of western European defense.
'DUILDING up Chinese Nationalist strength is 'necessary before
these troops could be used either in Koiea or in action against
the Chinese mainland.
For actual combat, Nationalist troops would have to be just as
completely equipped as new Korean divisions. The cost per division
is roughly $40 million at a minimum. This cost would have to be
borne by the United States.
The ability of additional Korean and Chinese divisions alone to
bring the Korean war to a decision is questionable. If they can't
do it, more U. S. divisions would have W) be sent to the Orient.
Use of atomic weapons to force a military decision in Korea is
a subject for hot debate. Opinions differ widely on how effective
they would be against Chinese Communists who are dug deep into
the North Korean mountains in trenches, tunnels and gun emplace-
ments. Use of atomic weapons might also broaden the war.
If the decision is made to try to mop up North Korea clear to the
Yalu River, preparations must be made to hold a boundary nearly
three times as long as the present battle line.
