Youth Correction Center

Some time ago we were informed of
the probable expenditure of Sc million
of taxpayers money on project ten
tatively known as the Youth Correction
Center, "sorely needed progressive
institution" At the same time, so much
of the entire plan, as deemed safe to
divulge publicly, was outlined to us,
including it's keystone" of individual
ized guidance and counseling by
experts; a brief description Of the
physical structure of the institution;
and an indication of the number of
inmates to be housed from ages 18
to %. It now develops that initial steps
are to be taken with view toward full
realization of the plan by 1857.
At first, one would be tempted to
dismiss this entire scheme as an emo
tional abstraction inspired and agreed
upon by a group of tenderminds who
appear to become more arrogant with
each successive victory. However, any
one with average intellect can sense
that this so-called correction plan,
among other things, is subtle-but
hope futile-attempt to eliminate the
death penalty for such capital offenses
as rape and first-degree murder COM
mitted by persons between 20 and 25.
We would hardly expect that the term
youth" would be limited to those
under %. Great as have been the cum
ming and efficaciousness of those de-
sirous of abolishing capital punishment
and equally great their almost unbe-
lievable success, I doubt If anything
surpasses this foolhardy and deceptive
plot to neutralize the intent of the
penal code.
While it is painfully certain that most
of our legislation originated out Of a
profound miStrust of human nature.
now Is hardly the time for ignoring
this lack of munif1cent trust by estab-
fishing new, ineffective laws merely to
bring comfort to fraudulent idealiSts
and ethereal dreamers. AS one of the
millions of youth of the American COM
munity, doubt If very many Of us
anticipate with pleasure future society
whose laws are written and executed by
"reformers" and self-appointed shep-

the Western powers to prevent the Com
muniStS from taking over the country.
On the other hand. there are many
sincere and well-informed people who
contend that the war In Vietnam is
civil war and not an act Of Communist
aggression from outside.
No one can deny that the majority
Of people in Vietnam look on Com
munist Leader Ho Chi-minh as the real
head Of state and view his war as q
war against French colonial rule. At
the moment, Ho controls two-thirds Of
the population of Vietnam. If reports
are correct, he commands the loyalty Of
an even greater proportion Of the
people.
The argument that Ho Chi-minh is
himself a Moscow trained Communist
and that his war is part and parcel Of
overall Communist strategy does not
change this fact. If the West goes to
war to save Vietnam. it will be saving
the people of Vietnam from themselves
Some Western leaders have argued that
these people haven't political ma
turity to choose their own way-that
they are blinded by anti-colonial
sentiment-that they don't recognize
Communist Imperialism for what it is.
These are good arguments, perhaps,
although hardly in line with the prin-
ciple of self determination for all peo-
pie. Sooner or later, the allies in Wet
nam must face the $64 questions: If
any people exercising political choice
decide to turn to communism, what
can the free world do about it? Is there,
in fact. higher obligation to save
people from communism that sup
plants right of the majority to have
governments Of their own choosing?
Whatever answers to these questions
may be found in the United States.
the answer of European allies is becom-
ing clearer. What is sought in Geneva is
an honorable settlement of the Indo-
China war which would permit the
people of associated states to make a
political choice. The allies would be
ready to abide by that choice even
if it meant yielding all of Vietnam to
control of Ho Chi-minh. Then, as our
allies see 1t, the mutual security pact
would provide a formal guarantee of
settlement.
According to this proposal, mutual
security line would be drawn at the
eastern border Of Laos and Cambodia
the two neighboring states of Wet
nam-whose people are anti-C Commu-
mist and loyal to their own govern
mentS. 1t is felt that such settlement
backed by Western guarantees would
best insure peace in the area and offer
real hope of containing the spread of
communism in Southeast Asia. And
today this seems to be the limit of what
can be expected from negotiations now
in progress.

The Sooner the Better

Republican Senator Bush of Connecticut
has made good and timely appeal for early
adoption of code of fair procedures to govern
the operations Of congressional investigating
committees. As far as essentials are concerned,
his proposal-similar to others that have been
advanced periodically through the past several
years-is by no means new, but it has become
more pertinent than ever as result of the
inquisitorial excesses that have led to the "un-
pleasant spectacle" Ito put it mildly Of the
Mccarthy Army hearings.
Although addressed directly to the Senate,
Mr.. Bush's 23-point reform program is equally
applicable to the House. It's objective is to
reconcile "the right of the Congress to gather
facts with the right to fair treatment of indi-
viduals called before investigating committees"
The abuses in this field-in which Senator Nc
Carthy certainly has not been the sole sinner
have been many and frequent, and they will
continue as long as the legislative branch of our
Government fails, as Mr.. Bush has said, to lay
down firm and specific rules designed to protect
its own "honor and dignity" together with "the
basic liberties of our citizens and our national
security" against investigative methods that do
violence to our American traditions by exceed
ing the bounds of justice and fair play.
The new rules proposed by Mr.. Bush would
not, in and of themselves, serve as fool-proof
guarantees against the kind of exceSSes that
have occurred in numerous congressional in
quirieS. But they would 60 far toward reducing
those excesses to minimum. They would do
so-assuming firm resolve to enforce them In
both houses-by circumscribing the powers of
committee chairmen; by governing the release
of testimony taken in executive sessions by
placing special controls on the issuance of sub
poenas; by requiring majority vote for the
authorization OF certain procedures; and by
establishing such other checks and balances as
specific regulations to let all witnesses have the
advice of counsel and to safeguard them from
being compelled-if they object-to testify
under conditions exposing them to vast tel
evision audience.
In calling for bipartisan action along this
line, Mr.. Bush has emphasized that he has
drawn heavily on recommendations drafted by
the Republican Policy Committee and that SEN
ator Knowland, the majority leader, has pledged
full support for such program. However,
because Of the legislative logjam, Mr. Knowland
has voiced the view that the issue cannot be
dealt with until the next Congress, and Mr..
Bush may therefore have asked for the impos-
sible in urging that the job be done now. Never
theless regardless of that, his proposal is alto
gether sound and to the point. and the sooner
something like it is adopted, the better off the
Nation will be.

Three Men With One Thouqht

Three men with single thought have won
due honors for their dedication to that idea
economy and efficiency in Government. With
varying words but similar meanings, the trio,
former President Herbert Hoover, Virginia's
Senator Harry F. Byrd and Treasury Secretary
Humphrey, summarized the philosophy which
led the Farm-City Conference in New York to
give each of them it's Government Economy
Award. 1t is philosophy which may seem dull
and old-fashioned to some economists and pol
iticianS, but it has survived its most violent
critics. 1t bears repeating here, just as the
cited trio outlined it to the conference.
Mr. Hoover expressed the thought this way:
"Our Republic is beSet by many dangers, but
there is one which we can control if we have the
will to do it. This is, waSte-unneceSSary spend
ing and unbalanced budgets and thus continued
imitation" Senator Byrd said: "Any policy of
borrowing money for future generations to pay
in order to reduce current taxes is the high
road to financial disaster" Secretary Hum
phrey commented: "In II of the past 20 years
this Government has engaged in deficit f1nanc-
ing-spending more than its income. This
course for government, as for a family, can
only lead to eventual disaster"
The former President, referring to his latest
Job as chairman of a governmental reorganiza-
tion commission, called himself ian old family
doctor called in as a medical consultant" He
said his duty is to suggest politely to admins
trative agencies and pressure groups: You are q
bit heavy in the middle" His professional ad-
vice to the Nation was to avoid two "delusions':
Cd That 1t Is all right to run up Skyrocketing
public debt because 1--WE owe it to ourselves, I"
and ca that the Federal Government should
take over more and more of the Homework" of
the States and counties. The first deluSion he
pointed out, overlooks the pain resulting from
ever higher income taxes to pay of interest on
the debt and from diminishing value of the
dollar. The second delusion involves the build
ing Of q costly Federal bureaucracy that eats up
