★ WASHINGTON COLUMN ★
National Cultural Center
Could Hush Memorial Critics
BY PETER EDSO.V
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
, WASHINGTON-—^NEA)—A plan to bring together memorials
to Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and other great
presidents as parts of the proposed .National Cultural Center is
being talked up here.
The idea has grown more or less spontaneously from general
public criticism of the abstract art designs prepared for the
two Roosevelt memorials.
Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, T.R.'s daughter, declared
the "Celestial Sphere'' design prepared to honor her father
would "desecrate the memory of anyone.''
Similarly, Rep. James Roosevelt of California. F D R 's eldest
son, declared in what will probably be the greatest understate-
ment of his career, "1 have a feeling father would have been
for something a little less modernistic."
THE PROPOSAL to combine the two memorials and possibly
others in the cultural center was a somewhat natural develop-
ment. It has met with a generally favorable response.
| think it is a marvelous idea." says Rep. Frank Thompson
'D-.VJ.l, one of the principal sponsors of the cultural center
authorization legislation. "I think it would provide much more
appropriate memorials to these two great men.'' •
Thompson called the Theodore Roosevelt celestial sphere
fiesign a "Jungle-Gym"' when it was unveiled last summer.
F D R. Jr. said the proposed memorial to his father was remi-
niscent of Stonenenge, the ancient ruins in England.
Backers of the two projects object to incorporating the
memorials with others. Neither group wants the mipvrtance
of the president it wants to honor subordinated,
i •
J THE ANSWER TO TII1S offered by the National Cultural
Center is that it is a concept big enough to honor a dozen presi-
dents—or all of them. - - -
The idea o£ combining a number of memorials in the center
has not been placed before its board of trustees, which was
J appointed by Eisenhower. Officials of the center decline to
make any comment, because they don't want to be put in the
position of trying to grab others' funds.
Cost of the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial has been put at
4'« million dollars, all to be raised by public subscription.
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Assn. has already raised
and spent over $800,000 for purchase of what is now called
Theodore Roosevelt Island in the Potomac, and for design of
the celestial sphere to be erected on this site.
Actual construction costs have been estimated at $886,000.
The association wants Congress to appropriate this sum, since
the prospects for raising it by public subscription arc dim. ,
MEANWHILE,'THE NATIONAL CULTURAL CENTER
project is not in flourishing financial condition, either. Total
cost has been estimated at 75 million dollars, to be raised bv
public subscription. It was authorized by Congress two year's
ago, on condition tuners be pledged, work started by 63.
,Sq far. the center has raised only l1: million dollars—and a
I haff-mllllon ot that came frbm the Hattie Strong Foundation.
Mrs. Strong's son, L, Corria Strong, is executive vice chairman
of the center.
Too Big to Swaiiow
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Twentieth century dictators,
large and small, have made a stan-
dard practice of trumping up 'tears
of outside invasion. But seldom
have they gone to the lengths thai
Fidel Castro is pursuing in Cuba.
We all understand the reason for
stirring the fears. It is a way of
distracting the citizens from the
discomforts they may be suffering
at home. It may encourage them
to endure still more.
Moreover, it is a way of solidiYy-
ing popular support behind a re-
gime. Nothing seems to cement a
people moie quickly than a threat,
imaginary or otherwise, from the
outside.
I
which has patrolled the Arab-ls-
lias just authorized another $19,000,-
000 for this activity for 1961.
Will we allow Russia and her co-
hort to remain members in good
standing while we pay 50 per cent
or 70 per cent of the costs there,
in the Congo, and whereever else
the U. N. sends forces?
second archives war
brings new building
The Abilene Reporter — News
The Second War of the Archives
is over and finished and the vic-
tors have got what they wanted
we*k-1 and what6 JTstlten^Sl. Tsafe
ness is the blow to its presige. The
U. N. has committed an interna-
tional army to the Central Afri-
can cockpit. But Morocco. Indone-
sia Guinea, the United Arab Re-
public, Ceylon and Yugoslavia have
said they will pull out their troops.
Some of them already have detach-
ed their forces from the U. N. com-
mand but are leaving them there
— what reason? The answer ap-
new building just now being com-
pleted next door to the Texas Capi-
tol. There in marble splendor, pro-
perly lighted and free from the
weather and threat of fire, will rest
the documentary remains of the
various governments of Texas.
The First Archives War was
waged in 1842 in the new litle city
of Austin when Sam Houston order-
ed the papers moved because oY a

; The archives* life has been most
interesting. When the Texas Revo-
lution broke out .the rebbeJs grab-
bed all the official papers, docu-
ments of both Spanish and Mexican ,
| regimes, and moved them from one
> place to another to escape capture
by the Meixcan's. The archives
were in Columbia for a while then
i set in Austin, 50 wagons were load-
! In Houston. When the capital was
ed with the papers and made the
journey to what was to be their fin-
al home.
When the Mexicans threatened
invasion in 1842, Sam Houston or-
dered the archives to Washington-
on-the-Brazos for safekeeping. Aus-
tin people thoirght this meant the
capital might be moved and they
dedicated themselves to keeping
the papers where they were. Hous-
ton was a stubborn fellow, so he
ordered the papers on their way.
Austin folk were stubborn, too.
They loaded their guns and over-
took the wagons a few miles out of
town. There was some shooting but
no bloodshed and the Austin Yolk
were the winner. They brought the
papers back home.
Since that first "war," the papers
have been here and there, in at-
tics. in basements, in the Capitol,
in the General Land Office, in the
State Highway Building and at last
in the Quonset hut.
Historians and scholars of vari-
ous decades have been appalled at
the careles treatment of the pap-
ers. The whole story of Texas and
multiple stories of Texans and
their families are bound up in the
books. Yet. the records have been

As employed by the German Na-
zis and th(, Russiun communists,
this technique has served a double
purpose. In addition to cementing
support, it provides grist for a pro-
paganda effort designed to fix
blame on other nations for acts the
complainants decide to commit.
For all his attempts to fan the
revolutionary fires elsewhere in
Latin America, Castro isn't in the
same league with these practition-
ers on that score.
Hut, at the pretense he is being
invaded he would be hard to
match at any time.
What will Castro tell the Cubans
i when the invasion from America
fails to come o'lf?
Naturally he will not admit the
| hoax. To do that is to acknowledge
the crushing truth — that his whole
regime is a hoax upon the Cuban
people.
Presumably he will try to pers-
uade them that his showy prepara-
tions "scared America off." The
Cubans who accept Castro are gul-
lible. But are they quibble enough
i,. UC'iic ■ i ili^t uitii titty
eoudl stand out against the United
States if we were really bent upon
subduing it?
Most likely they are not. The
chances aie good that when the in«
vasion doesn't materialize more
and more Cubans will begin tu
have doubts about their hero.
Eventually those doubts will be
big enough and numerous enough
to lie woven into a fabric oV defeat
for the fraudlent Castro. But as
has been noted often before, this is
a 'fabric lh*t only the Cuban
people themselves can fashion.
