which was asked to surrender
some Of her sovereignty to the
edo, now demands that Britain
do likewise.
The French premier agreed
that European cooperation was
the only basis for effective de-
tense against the danger Of
Soviet aggression. The EDO
concept was the same.
SupranatiOnal Element
Mendes : France complained
about the element Of suprana-
tionality-subordination of in
dividual member nations to the
IgrOup-in edo. But he himself.
then proposed a dose Of supra
nationality to be administered
through the Council of Ministers
of an expanded Brussels treaty.
The effect Of this simply would
be to subject Britain to the same
surrender of sovereignty as had
been envisaged for the six con-
ltinental members Of Edo. Brit
ain is not likely TO accept that.
Mendes-France wanted con-
troll by the central organization
over the maximum number Of
troops contributed by member
nations to the common defense
effort. NATO already had laid
down controls over the mini
mum contributions, and control
over the maximum was implicit
in Edo.
Under the edo scheme, Frances
forces would have outnumbered
the Germans. There would have
been a council of is members,
three each from France, Italy
and Germany and two each from
the three Benelux nations,
(which would have issued direc-
ltives TO an executive bureau Of

Nome-CoIIing in New York

It looks at this point as if State-size
good behavior code for political campaigns
is urgently needed in New York; In the past
few days most of the topside Candidates and
party spokesmen, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, in the Empire State have spent an
undue amount of their time and effort at
exchanging the most reprehensible type of
political vituperation. Charges of racial and
religious prejudice, incitement to hatred
and bigotry in general have been flung back
and forth without dignity and probably
without justification.
Political victory in New York State
often is big step toward greater oppor-
tunities for public service. One is inclined,
however, to look withaskepticism on candi-
dates who seem to fall SO easily into the

Private Lives of Public Servants

The Federal Communications CommiS-
sion's conduct guide for its employees has
been criticized as invading the private lives
of public servants. Of course, Government
workers are entitled to run their private
affairs as they please, without interference
from their chiefS-provided their private
affairs do not come into conflict with their
work, or impair their value as public Serv-
ants. Actually, the FEC memorandum does
no more than make this proviso plain. The
policy laid down is in line with long-stand-
ing principles governing conduct of Federal
employees.
A public servants private behavior be-
comes of concern to the employing agency
when it is of such nature as to bring "un-
favorable publicity (as the memorandum
put it) on the agency. OF more Importance,
but apt to be overlooked in the to-do over
the conduct clause, was the admonition
against engaging in certain activities more
directly related to the employees job. For
example, the FCC-like other agencies
forbids outside employment in conflict with
Federal interests, unauthorized publication
of official data, acceptance of gratuitieS and
financial involvement in company subject
to agency regulations.
Any Federal worker unwilling to comply
with such reasonable code of conduct has
no right to expect to be retained on the
public payroll.

Investigating U. S. Workers

Sherman Adams, assistant to the
President. insists that the scope of the
presidential order for an investigation
of the conduct of Government workers
be kept an inviolable secret. Should
not the President be censured for caus-
ing needless pain and anxiety to Fed
eral employees, who are fearful of the
exposure of their closet skeletons to the
general public? One may we'll imagine
the state of mind of these employees,
whose efficiency will undoubtedly be
greatly impaired as long as such secrecy
continues.
On the other hand the White House
Adams clique, which authored the most
vindictive persecution to which a
United States Senator was ever sub
jected, never failed to denounce Senator
McCarthys investigation of Commu-
nists and their dupes in the executive
departments with cries of witch hunt.
abuse, intimidation, etc. Until Govern
ment workers are assured that the
proposed investigation will be strictly
limited to their execution of the tasks
to which they are assigned, the Presi-
dent must be condemned for an act of
unprecedented impertinence. And it
had better be soon. Having alienated
millions of Mccarthy supporters, this
presidential order could we'll sound the
death knell of Republican hopes of
victory at the polls next month. Only a
political neophyte could be guilty Of
such stupid blunders. M. c. L.

Moderately Better Business

Statistics seem to be telling more ac-
curate story than is being told by political
Spokesmen about business conditions these
days The Democrats and their supporters
for months have been talking recession ana
depression. The Republicans and their fol-
lowers for an equal amount OF time nave
talked about normal seasonal declines and
confidence of an autumn upturn. Latest
employment figures indicate that the situa-
ton is not as bad as the Democrats say, or
quite as good as the Republicans claim.
For the month ended in id-September,
a Joint Commerce-Labor Department report
showed total unemployment of 100000
bad enough. but still decline of 146,OO0
from mid-August. For the same dates en-
ployment dropped by 10000 to a total of
62,144, 900. Most of this drop was attributed
to the opening of schools and colleges, With
many young people leaving the labor force.
The drop in unemployment continued a
trend that began in early summer but the
gradual nature of this movement provides
no assurance that sharper upturn might
be underway now or soon.
Another measurement of the mildneSS
of the recovery is given in rail freight load
ings for the week ended october 2. AT 721,-
883 cars, the weeks total was up IL 1858
cars from the preceding seven-day span. At
the same time, the Association of American
Railroads pointed out, the 1854 figure was
90,561 cars below that for the comparable
week in 1858.
From these sample indices fair con-
clusion seems to be that the economy is
relatively stable and moderately improved
over the spring and summer levels. If this
is a correct eValuatiOn it hardly offers q
very effective political issue for either side.
