ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3C FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1963 Max Freedman Another Look at the Common Market? HOSPITAL MOVE Disney Calls Riverfront Plan 'Exciting May Visit St. Louis He Will Study Project Before Deciding on Participation Meets With Mayor, Other Leaders All-Orchestra Program to Crippled Children Transferred to New Shrine Institution in County WASHINGTON THE TIME HAS COME for the United States to examine new its attitude to the Common Market. The result o( this examination may well be that the Administration will decide that its policy and its strategy are right and should be continued without change. But it is equally possible that the review will bruig new facts to light that will force a revision ft I.J of policy.

At all events, the stock-taking which followed the French refusal to treat Britain as a member of the European community has lasted long enough and it should now lead to a liew American initiative. This initiative will fail, and will deserve to fail, if It is intended as a reprisal against France, It should instead be seen as part of the campaign to set world trade in the broadest perspective of freedom. Nor should we conclude, even at this stage, that most of the nations I i I I I -S hi, I I' TV, If i ft i Tt 1 1 -1 'M Be Given Tomorrow Night and Sunday Afternoon Josef Krips, conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, will conduct the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in its final subscription concerts of the season at 8:40 p.m. tomorrow and 2:30 p.m.

Sunday at Kiel Auditorium Opera House. The all-orchestral program will include the Major (Jupiter) Symphony by Mozart, Till Eulen-spiegel's "Merry Pranks" by Strauss and Symphony No. 4 by Brahms. Krips has been conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic since 1953 and has been directing the Cincinnati May Festival since 1954. He will assume duties as conductor and musical director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra next fall.

A native of Vienna, Krips studied under Felix Weingartner before beginning his professional career in 1921 as chorus master of the Vienna Volksoper. After serving as conductor of several orchestras in Czechoslovakia and Germany, he held the position Herter By CLEON O. SWAYZEE A Staff Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch BURBANK, March 29 Walt Disney, the motion picture producer, said today that plans, for St. Louis's Riverfront Square in the downtown redevelopment area were "interesting and exciting." He said that he would begin a study immediately to see if his organization could contribute to its development. Disney made his comments after a two-hour meeting yesterday with Mayor Raymond R.

Tucker and four other St. Louis-ans, who flew to the Disney studios here to discuss the possibility of Disney's participating in the project. In an interview with the Post-Dispatch after the meeting, Disney emphasized that discussions were "only exploratory," but he said that whatever form his participation might take "would not result in another Disneyland." Riverfront Square has been envisioned as an open city square, surrounded by dining, entertainment and service facilities, to be near the downtown sports stadium and the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Promoters of the project have expressed the hope that it will be completed in time for St. Louis's bicentennial celebration, which will begin late next year.

Disney said that he probably would come to St. Louis soon, after some preliminary investigation, to get a first-hand look at the downtown St. Louis redevelopment area. "Mayor Tucker and the others presented a grand picture of the major redevelopment work going on in St. Louis," he said.

"I've always enjoyed being in on clean-up and redevelopment operations." Tucker was accompanied by O. O. McCracken, executive vice president of Civic Center Redevelopment promoter of the stadium; Stanley Goodman, chairman of a corporation com mittee handling the Riverfront Square proposal, and Raymond H. Wittcoff, president of Downtown St. Louis Inc.

Preston Es-tep, vice president and executive committee chairman of the stadium development group, joined them here. Donn Tatum, a vice president of Walt Disney Productions, said Disney's role in the development would "not necessarily be confined to one of general -consultant." The Disney organization, through its construction of Disneyland at Anaheim, and a major sports and recreation center at Denver, has had experience in construction and operation of a variety of amusement and commercial activities, he said. Tatum said the St. Louis prrv posal contained several novel features, particularly in connection with the bicentennial celebration. "It's a rare occurrence when a city the size of St.

Louis can celebrate its 200th anniversary and a multimillion-dollar downtown redevelopment both at same time," he said, The Mayor and his group returned to St. Louis last night- Moving day at Shrimps' Hospital proved to be a lively outing for 67 of the hospital's 68 crippled children yesterday. Wesley Manues, 2 years old, slept all the way. "Bless his heart," said a nurse as airmen from Scott Air Force Base carried the boy's stretcher into the new hospital at 2001 South Lindbergh boulevard. "The excitement was too mudh for him." For the others, many of whom would seem to have little to laugh about, it was a day of laughter and song as they were transferred from the old hospital at 700 South Kingshighway in Air Force busses.

Twenty-five of the youngsters were able to sit in one conventional bus. The others rode on stretchers or in their beds aboard two special ambulance-busses. Police officers in an escort car contributed their siren for the event. Mark McCollum, 5, led a 20-piece Air Force band in a rousing march after being car'ied from a bus at the new $3,000,000 hospital in St. Louis county.

He then returned the baton to Capt. Ben Mamscalco, who continued the music. Tony Richards, 3, insisted on talking to a "real policeman" before being carried into the bright sunshine and the bright, modern building. Frontenac Police Capt, A. H.

Piotraschke obliged. "That's mine! The big red shouted one crippled girl civilian nurses and military orderlies untangled a mass of folded wheel chairs and matched each with a child. Once inside, the wide-eyed patients surveyed their new quarters with great excitement.

Those who were bedridden blinked their bed lights, buzzed of regular conductor of the Vienna State Opera from 1933 to 1938.

FUNERAL SERVICES MONDAY GROUND-BREAKING THURSDAY FOR DR. A. JAMES EVANS FOR ST. LOUIS U.

BUILDING belonging to the Common Market will wish to cut themselves adrift from that movement. But they must have a much clearer choice than has yet been offered to them. The assumption on which American policy to the Common Market has been based for many years is that Western Europe would form a customs union that would, after a transition period, join with other nations in breaking down the barriers to trade, It requires an act of faith to hold that doctrine today. THE COMMON MARKET, when judged by the ideals proclaimed by its own leaders two or three years ago, has been a disappointment. It has been an immense success in bringing new vitality and power to its European members: but it has begun to develop some of the very evils of a closed trading system which it had promised to avoid.

As one studies the hearings on President Kennedy's trade bill, it becomes clear in retrospect that Senator Douglas and Representative Reuss had a great deal of wisdom on their side when they questioned some of the assumptions on which the Administration's case to Congress ultimately rested. At the time their criticisms seemed rather excessive but in truth they foresaw the disturbing trends which have now become visible to everyone. We cannot regain this lost ground but at least we no longer have to be stuck on dead center. There is one decisive thing wrong with the suggestion that the United States should reduce its tariff barriers slowly and reluctantly. This policy assumes that tariff reductions are primarily intended to benefit other countries instead of the United States.

If that were true, Congress would never have passed the trade bill. The United States will be acting against its own economic interest if it fails to open its own market to full competition in return for reciprocal concessions from other nations. BEFORE GOING TO EUROPE recently I shared the accepted view in Washington that the Common Market cannot discriminate and still hope to enjoy the advantages of the new trade bill. I now believe that Mr. Christian Herter, in his negotiations with the Common Market, will be gravely handicapped unless he can make quick use of the powers to reduce the American tariff.

The Common Market in short must have the incentive of access to the American market and of participation in an expanding world market in order to stand fast against the forces of protectionism now being organized by France and Germany. How can one combine these two principles into one policy? How can the American trade program give new strength and hope to those in the Common Market who still believe in fair trade and are ready to work for free trade? The answer can be given at the Geneva meeting on trade in May. At that meeting the United States should show a strong preference for GATT over the Common Market. Indeed, it may be necessary to ask whether the Common Market in its present form is the kind of customs unions sanctioned by GATT or whether it is in violation of the Geneva trade system. This challenge would at least open the debate on new terms and give America's friends in the Common Market the chance to be heard.

They will have a steadily diminishing chance unless the United States, supported by Britain and other important trading nations outside Western Europe, come to their help in Geneva and enable them to withstand the pressures from Paris and Bonn.

The nursing staff answered countless questions with admirable patience as it tried to recover a lost routine. Hospital board members, wearing red fezzes, looked on with obvious pride. Their charges had made the move without a hitch. And when Wesley Manues woke up, blinking and a little confused, he found himself the center of attention. Ground will be broken for St.

People have faith in Reader's Digest 2400 EXTRA PLAID STAMPS TO GO New from Folger's! WASHINGTON. EVEN PRESIDENT KENNEDY, a face-saver by temperament, is needling his congressional leaders about their failure to put something on his desk that he can sign. In turn, they are snapping at their office help. Maybe they will even forego their Easter recess in favor of a more serious look, but it does not appear that this will Witli Coupon From Mailer Sent to Your Home fTh ffhffh 1 mean more than a series of adjournments. Congress actually has nothing before it that its members really want to do because it will help them get re-elected.

Its heavy work load is a chore, not a challenge. It is furthermore, a kind of chore generally uncongenial to politicians by the nature of their trade.

Meanwhile, the constituents clamor for attention to their problems and the personal touch. STRESS ON FOREIGN POLICY which enables the Presl-dent to appear strong and active in the public interest does little to help individual members of Congress. It is possible to sympathize with their problem while pointing out that they have done little as a body to solve it. A few only join with the outsiders trying to start a great debate on what Congress should do to reassert itself as a dynamic third branch. It would mean challenges to the seniority system, a tightening of committee procedures and more joint hearings of Senate and House which would lessen personal assertion by committee members.

Leadership apathy is especially pronounced. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield recently spent five days in Mexico pursuing his interest in foreign policy, apparently content with the present drift. Yet he has a party problem which is growing. THE NEWER DEMOCRATIC SENATORS the backbencherscomplain increasingly of lack of consideration from their dominant seniors. The complainants for the most part have a record to make, and their seats are not from one-party states.

They like Mansfield well enough as a person, but they wish he would make more effort to soften the harsh contours of their political dilemmas. Many of them gave credit to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, when he was leader, for that kind of help, but they find Mansfield disinclined to such operations. House Democrats wanting more action report a better relationship with Speaker John W. McCormack, though they would like a more telling symbol of the times as front man for the party.

They still have to make a major project of every goal they seek and limit carefully what they try to accomplish. Such dissatisfactions will not culminate in rebellion. They will be reflected in roll calls within committee and on the floor. They also mean that much ability and willingness to work hard for stated Administration goals is being dissipated in sniping and wisecracks.
