downtown areas as all other cities
throughout the country now have.
The distinguished chairman of the
Subcommittee on lousing, Mr. Rains: an
acknowledged expert in the field of hous-
ing and urban renewal, said several
months ago that the city of Washington
deserves the same tools that other cities
have in other parts of the country. He
went on to say that he "doesn't want a
bill for the District that is not in keeping
with the bill for the rest of the Nation."
rthink that the Members will do well
to heed these words of caution from one
who has been in this complex field along,
long time.
Mr. Speaker, I ask that the editorial to
which I have referred be inserted in the
RECORD.
Rkerzwati, Or HOPE
When the House District Committee ap-
proved its reprehensible version of the Wash-
ington urban renewal bill in March, it was
apparent that several members were not in
accord with the action.
Now the full scope of that disagreement
has been disclosed. No less then 11 of the
24 committee members have joined in the
strongly worded minority report just re-
leased. The number of the group is im-
mensely encouraging; its bipartisan char-
acter is more so.
The most impressive aspect of this minor-
ity report, however, is its vigorous language.
In its details, the 18-page analysis shreds the
arguments in favor of the Crippling and un-
necessary amendments which were added to
the original bill under the guise of "safe-
guards."
Rather than safeguarding anything, these
amendments, in the words of the report.
"would virtually destroy the whole urban
renewal program in the District of Colum-
bia." As to intent, it states forthrightly that
the bill as reported seems designed as "a
precedent for attacking the whole urban re-
newal program throughout the country."
These are not new thoughts. Representa-
tive Sum of California' expressed them force-
fully some weeks ago. We have done so in
these columns on numerous occasions, for
there has never been the Slightest doubt as
to the fiction of the amendments as "safe-
guards." The essential purposes of this bill
are to permit urban renewal projects in non-
residential areas, and to improve the stand-
ards under which these projects would be
carried out.
The Senate has passed a bill satisfying
these purposes. The amendments added by
the House committee attach a number of
mischievous and thoroughly unnecessary re-
strictions. Coincidentelly, an excellent anal-
ysis of their effects has just been completed
and sent to the appropriate congressional
committees by the Washington Planning and
Housing Association.
The 11-member minority 'report does not.
of course, actually solve anything. The re-
vitalization of Washington's downtown busi-
ness section Is still stymied. It will remain
so until the city receives the required au-
thorization to use urban renewal in business
areas. That authorization cannot be pro-
vided until the bill is called to the House for
vote.
When this eventually occurs, however, the
prospects for passage of an adequate and
equitable bill will have been enhanced im-
measurably by the incisive and timely mi-
nority report. Its signers were Representa-
tives SIBIC, DewsoN, ConsaAN, Sr GERMAIN,
TRIMBLE, and DIGGS, Democrats; and Repub-
lican Representatives AcciiiNctoss, Nasatar,
07Loarsx.t, MATHIAS, and HORTON. To them
all, the community owes 'a vote of thanks.
Academy of American Poets
EXTENSION OP REMARKS
Or
HON. JOHN V. LINDSAY
Or NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, April 22, 1964
Mr. LINDSAY. Mr. Speaker, the
Academy of American Poets is an orga-
nization that does much to advance the
cause of American poetry. It is worthy
of much wider notice.
In many other countries much is done
by society to promote young poets and
to spread the richness of poetry among
all the citizens. In the United States
poetry has never been given proper
recognition. In 1934 the Academy of
American Poets was established in order
to rectify this situation. Its founder is
Mrs. Hugh Bullock who, born in France
of American parents, was struck by
American poets' lack of recognition and
recurring financial crises. With the aid
of the late Edwin Arlington Robinson
and Louis Ledoux, poets themselves, and
a great many others who were interested,
Mrs. Bullock began developing plans to
help poets, out of which finally evolved
the idea for the Academy of American
Poets. The five founder members were
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Auslander, Mrs.
Bullock, Messrs. Ridgely Torrence and
Charles Hanson Towne.
The purpose of the academy is stated
in article LI of the charter as follows:
To encourage, stimulate and foster the
production of American poetry by providing
fellowships for poets of proven merit, by
granting scholarships, awards and prizes for
poetic achievement, and by such other means
as the board of cUrector with the approval of
the board of chancellors may from time to
to time devise and determine.
The academy has been of very specific
and practical help to poets and poetry.
In the years between 1946 and 1963 $5,000
poetry fellowships were awarded to the
following:
Edgar Lee Masters, 1946; Ridgely Tor-
rence, 1947; Percy MacKaye, 1948; Frost
1953; Louise Townsend Nicholl, 1954; Dr.
Oliver St. John GogartY, 1954; Rolfe
Humphries, 1955; Dr. William Carlos
Williams, 1956; Conrad Aiken, 1957;
Robinson Jeffers, 1958; Louise Bogan,
1959; Leonie Adams, 1959; Jesse Stuart,
1960; Horace Gregory, 1961; John Crowe
Ransom, 1962; Ezra Pound, 1963; Allen
Tate, 1963.
In addition, the academy insures pub-
lication of winning manuscripts of poetry
by contracting to purchase a thousand
copies of what is known as Lamont
Poetry Selection. This was made possible
by a bequest by the late Mrs. Thomas
W. Lamont.
In the last 10 years the Lamont poetry
selections have been the following:
Constance Carrier, '"The Middle
Voice." Alan Swallow, 1954; Donald Hall,
"Exiles and Marriages," the Viking Press,
1955; Philip Booth, "Letter from a Dis-
tant Land," the Viking Press, 1956; Dan-
iel Berrigan, S. J., "Time Without Num-
ber," the Macmillan Co., 1957; Ned
O'Gorman, "The Night of the Hammer,"
Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1958; Donald
Justice, "The Summer Anniversaries,"
Wesleyan Universay Press, 1959; Robert
Mezey, "The Lovemaker," the Cumining-
ton Press, 1959; X. J. Kennedy, "Nude
Descending a Staircase," Doubleday &
Co., Inc., 1961: Edward Field, "Stand
Up, Friend, With Me," Grove Press, Inc.,
1962: no award, 1963.
In addition to all of this, the academy
has been sponsoring other kinds of
awards, made possible by the bequests of
interested persons and through these be-
quests various colleges and universities
have been the beneficiaries. Poetry
readings have been sponsored. Most re-
cently an interesting poetry reading took
place at the Guggenheim Museum in
New York.
The Academy of American Poets is an
organization worthy of support, and I
am delighted that it is founded and
chiefly sponsored by many of my con-
stituents and friends. I salute them for
their contribution to the American scene
and for the advancement of a most Im-
portant cause in the United States. A
vote of thanks is owed most especially to
Mrs. Hugh Bullock, the driving force
behind the whole adventure.
Brazil's Break With Cuba
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
Or
HON. PAUL G. ROGERS
Or rLOILDA
IN THE HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, May 14, 1964
Mr. ROGERS of Florida. Mr. Speaker,
credit is due the new Government of Bra-
zil for ending diplomatic relations with
the Communist regime of Cuba.
This action taken by the Brazilians is
a great victory in the struggle for free-
dom in this hemisphere. Brazdl is one
of Latin America's largest and most in-
fluential nations. Prior to the fall of
leftist Joao Goulart's regime this nation
witnessed Brazil pursuing a path which
seemed to be taking it away from the
democratic community of this hemi-
sphere. The United States and the other
nations of this hemisphere were all
greatly relieved when Goulart's govern-
ment fell, and was replaced with the new
regime of President Umberto Castello-
Branco.
Now that another nation of our sister
continent has had the foresight to end
Its relations with Castro, other nations
yet maintaining recognition of Cuba
should follow Brazil's example. Those
nations which still dignify Castro by ex-
tending him recognition are Chile, Bo-
livia, Mexico, and Uruguay.
I urge that stepped-up measures be
taken by this Nation in the OAS as well
as unilaterally in order that these four
remaining Latin American countries may
do as Brazil has done and end recognition
of Castro. To do so will further isolate
ifo...tnznunist Cuba in this hemisphere......
