could not be housed in the limited
residential quarters of the District
Moreover, residents of the outlying
sections. whether they are Federally
or otherwise employed. are not dead
weights on the District To the con-
trary, the downtown business district
OF Washington is supported in large
measure by residents of nearby States
who are in town primarily because they
work there and who patronize the
stores, banks, BARRIERS, beauticians, ply
sicians, theaters. opticians, newspapers,
service stations, commercial parking
lots. restaurants and other business
enterprises. Not only do these en-
ployed persons patronize the District
downtown businesses, but their unem-
ployed wives as well do their major
shopping, ETC., in the District. The
fact that downtown business has been
studying inducements to retain their
trade demonstrates clearly the fact
that they could not exist without them
Most of the wives in my neighborhood
(Bethesda) who buy at suburban shops
rather than the Washington shops are
those with pre-school age children
Even many of them transact their ma
jor business in the District. BY doing
so they contribute not only to the sue
cess Of the individual businesses in
volved, but also to the taxes those
businesses are able to pay to the
District.
It Is manifestly unfair to expect out
of-town residents to bear the burden
of proposed increases in salary for
the District governments payroll.
Clearly the only way to meet equi-
tably the Districts need for more reve-
nue. is increased Federal support of the
Nations Capital.

Public Power

In letter. E. w. Erickson bemoans
his tax dollars going to iva. and pre-
diets the voters will reject IVA come
election day.
Is Mr.. Erickson overlooking the fact
that wherever public power was made
clear and sharp issue in last years
elections the voters almost invariably
supported it? oregon was notable ex-
ample: but even in several States not
due to benefit directly, the trend startled
the administration.

Appeal for Responsibility

A persuasive appeal for responsible
House action on farm price supports has
been made to that body by bipartisan
minority of the Agriculture Committee 1t
is an appeal to defeat legislation which
would restore mandatory 80 per cent of par
ity supports for five basic crops-corn,
wheat, cotton peanuts and rice. And it is
an appeal that should be honored.
BY law enacted last year, the Govern
ment is authorized to apply flexible sup
port formula within a range Of 821a to 80
per cent of parity on these five commodities.
Initial application of this authority would
apply to 1855 crops and there has been no
opportunity yet to establish claims that the
flexible formula will be injurious to the
farmers or to the national interest. There
has, however, been ample opportunity to
recognize the damaging impact of high,
rigid price support program that was
adopted originally as temporary wartime
formula The committee minority has
summed up this evil result in one effective
paragraph, as follows: rigid 80 per cent
mandatory price-support programs have
failed to keep farm income from declining,
created SURPRISES that have forced farm
prices downward, held commodities off the
market at great cost to the Government,
undermined public support for sound farm
programs lost foreign and domestic mar
kets, assisted foreign competitors to take
our markets, and have taken the right to
produce away from both small and large
farmers"
Effectively, too, the committee minority
drew some parallels between price struc-
lures for the commodities favored" by the
rigid supports and those for so-called nom
basic commodities. cit is an interesting
and significant fact" they pointed out, that
the average price for nonbaSic (unsup-
ported) commodities has been higher (as
measured by parity price relationships in
every year since 1910, except one, than the
price of so-called basic commodities" AS
consequence, the outlook today for the
nonbasicS is better than that for those
which have been covered by high supports.
The flexible support theory is a key
stone of the Republican administrations
program for dealing with the farm problem.
Influential Democrats in both branches Of
Congress have favored it, at least to the
point of urging that 1t be given trial Dis
posal of some of the huge Government
owned SURPRISES, expansion of research and
educational work in agriculture and some
pending recommendations for helping the
small, low-income farmers are other major
parts of the administration blueprint. At
this stage, it appears to have much greater
merit than a retreat to program that
already has been proved costly and unsuc-
ceSSful.

capital; but If iva built it. in IA years
the public CMr. Erickson would own it,
with the cost of construction largely
repaid by the value of the energy gen.
Grated. Thus when we speak of free"
enterprise. we really mean IVA; the
other method is more costly.
IVA was not an invention of the New
Deal. Similar bills passed two Republic
can Congresses. only to be vetoed by
Presidents Coolidge and Hoover. 1t has
been widely copied in numerous coun-
tries wherein private capital has not
done the same good job it has here.
Let's keep IVA as a showcase item of
what can be done.

Repeat Performance?

It is beginning to look as though Con-
greSS is headed for repeat performance
OF past errors in handling postal and CLASH
fed pay legislation. Last year Congress
ignored warnings of a presidential veto and
passed legislation unacceptable to the ad-
ministration. AS result Federal employees
lost their pay raise. Now there are new
warnings of possible presidential veto if
is voted. But the House has gone right
ahead with plans to exceed that limit. And
the Senate Civil Service Committee has re-
ported bill calling for 10 per cent
increase.
The House rejected an opportunity
Monday to pass bill that would have lifted
postal pay to the ceiling which President
Eisenhower insists is necessary to keep the
cost within reasonable bounds Instead the
House preferred to follow a course which
will permit amendment Of the committee
approved rs per cent bill when it reaches
the floor OF course, if the House eventually
should vote for an 8 or 10 per cent raise
for postal workers, fair play would dictate
like increase for all Government employees
in the classified service.
The President, in letter to Chairman
Murray of the House Civil Service Com
mittee last week, said he was concerned
about the fiscal impact of even rs per
cent increase. I'm fairness to you and your
colleagues" he wrote, II must make it clear
that any additional increases in postal
salaries above your committees action
would give me the gravest apprehension"
II Is hard tn see how he c0uld have made
his warning any palmer, short of actually
mentioning veto. In fact, the language
has been interpreted at the Capitol as being
tantamount to veto threat. If Congress
continues to ignore the presidential warn
ing, it will be subjecting Federal employees
to the risk of more shattered hopes. For
there is no assurance that advocates of
higher raises would be able to muster the
thirds vote in each House necessary
to override veto.

most useful for me when I was Ambas-
sador to Poland to have known of the
agreements reached at Teheran, Yalta
and Potsdam regarding the proposed
Polish elections, which finally took
place in January, 1947. No American

help his Government unless he knows
OF the agreements which his Govern

'ACertuin Parallel.

Secretary of State Dulles has been max
ing some little speeches recently which
have that s-where-I-came-in" i'm
pact on his audience.
On Sunday night, speaking in New York,
he told meeting of the United Negro
College Fund that it might be necessary
In the future, as it has been in the past,
"to forgo peace in order to secure the
blessings of liberty"
He followed that up Monday evening
with somber talk to the Advertising Club
of New York. '"The aggressive fanaticiSm
of the Chinese Communist leaders" he said,
presents certain parallel to that of Hit
ler." That this is true is indisputable. But
what Mr.. Dulles did not say, and may not
realize, is that his remarks also present a
certain parallel to the speeches which were
being made by our national leaders is or
more years ago.
AS ones mind turns back to the exhor-
tative efforts of the late 30s and early 40s,
1t seems that the main thrust then was di-
rected more toward arousing slumbering
America than toward warning the Axis
partners Mr.. Dulles, in contrast, seems to
be directing his admonitory remarks pri-
marily to the Chinese Communists. At
least this is the impression one gets from
such things as his comment that the Chi
nese entertain an exaggerated sense of
their own power, and they gravely under
estimate the power and resolution of the
non-C Communist world" A similar impress
sion is 'conveyed by his warning to the Chi
nese that the United States can afford to
be patient "up to the point where patience
is clearly productive of dangerous misun-
derstanding and increased risk"
But what are we to think Of the warn
ing that we may have to "forgo peace in
order to secure the blessings of liberty?
If this is another way of saying that war
may be closer than most of us have been
encouraged to believe, Mr.. Dulles would be
well advised to say so more explicitly.

Union Wage Subsidy?

President Harry Lundeberg of the AFL
Seafarers International Union has taken a
hard look at the American shipping indus
try vis-a-vis foreign competition and has
come up with an interesting formula. The
fact Is that foreign flag operators of tramp
vessels have tremendous cost advantages,
with the standards of crew wages and man
ming requirements being the major differ
entails between the foreign ships and our
own. A natural result is an increasing flow
of tramp traffic to the low-cost foreign
ships, and an increasing number of Ameri-
can seamen out of jobs.
Mr. Lundebergs formula has three
parts: To reduce the size of American crews
in some categories of ships, then eliminate
overtime pay requirements wherever pos
sible and-if necessary-to make up part
of the pay differentials through subsidy
from the maritime unions themselves. The
hoped-fo result would be to strengthen the
competitive position of the American OPP
orators, bring more of the traffic back to
our own carriers and create new job oppor-
tunities
It is hardly surprising, of course, that
some of the maritime unions are opposed.
It has been demonstrated in other industries
that some unions are unwilling ever to mod
ify their determination to seek constantly
higher wage scales and other costly benefits
But Mr.. Lundeberg is not proposing lower
scales, he is proposing that the maritime
unions recognize their stake in their own
industry and make a contribution to its

While the effort of legislation appears
to give us hope that the greedy and
immature adaptive parent will be frus-

still another error by overemphasis
upon the responsibilities of those who
do not live the adoption!
The Life History Study Center as
sumes that the final word on adoption
comes from those who live it. that hui

handled patronage matters in
the State since 1852. when Mis-
souri's last G. o. P. Senator was
defeated. Now they can't agree
on who should get the jobs.
Would Mr.. Welsh and Mrs.
Tanner abide by any decision
that they step aside, along with
IMr. Compton, in favor of COM
Imittee rule?
"As far as I can see now, we
welsh and Mrs. TanneD intend
to continue functioning in our
duly elected Offices until the end
of our terms" Mr.. Welsh said.
Mr.. Compton conceded the
State committee is powerless to
remove them. Earlier Mr.. Comp
ton offered to resign if Mr..
Welsh and Mrs. Tanner would
do likewise.
Mrs. Tanner said she wouldn't.
And Mr.. Welsh said IF Mr..
Compton wants to resign that's
his privilege and he should go
ahead and do it-but there
shouldn't be anything tied to it."

ST. LOUIS. June 10 (P).-Mis-
souri, Republican leaders, barely
successful in swinging the State
to President Eisenhower in 1852.
are locked in battle for control
of the State party, and national
leaders may have to step in be-
fore the presidential campaign
next year.
The party hasn't won an elec-
ton since 1852 and lost Senate
seat that year.
The long smouldering feud
f1ared into the open last week.
1t developed over distribution of
government jobs in the State.
A. D. tBud) Welsh, Republican
national committeeman from
Missouri, tossed a lighted bomb
today right into the middle of
plans for a harmony meeting"
of the G. o. P. State committee
at Columbia or Jefferson City
June 26.
Mr.. Welsh indicated he and
Mrs. Estelle Tanner of Jeffer-
son City, the States national
committeewoman, won't 60 along
with any decision to turn over
control of the party in Missouri
to a committee. Such a pro-
posal is UP for consideration at
the June 26 meeting.
Offers Truce Plan
Last week a group of st. Louis
Republicans headed by Barak
T. Mattingly suggested a plan
to end the "open and bitter
fight" 1t called for the Repub-
lican high command in the State
to either restore peace imme-I
diately or step aside.
If the rival factions can't get
together. the Mattingly group
said, the G. o. P. State commit
tee should name a small COM
mittee to assume full manage
ment OF the Republican Party
Of Missouri"
One of the factions is headed
by Perry Compton Of Montgom-
cry City. Republican State chair
man who said he agreed with
the recommendation of the Mat
tingly group. He called the State
committee meeting to act on the
proposal.
The other faction is led by
