Washington called cultural Sahara by Arthur Edson
In a June 24 1958 column Arthur Edson says Washington lacks major cultural facilities for opera ballet symphonies and drama. A Senate report notes Americans are proud but cultural offerings here are inferior to Europe. The Senate passes a bill to create a national cultural center with land funded by the government and private donors, but House opposition questions political value and audience interest.
