The crisis in South Wet Nam
appeared to have crystallized, at
least partially, the elements of
the confused political situation.
In country where two-faced
politics is commonplace, the vio-
lence apparently had forced
various power blocs to make a
stand either for or against Diem.
And Diem, with the prestige
gained by military success,
emerged after the first battles
with firmer control than he had
previously.
There was no great wave of
optimism among Western OBJ
servers on the long-range future
of the Diem government, how
ever. 1t was noted that North

When Gen. j. LaWton Collins
reached Saigon early this week
after hurriedly ending confer
ences in Washington and rush
ing back to his post in South
Wet Nam, the situation in that
strife-torn country had become
more favorable for the United

would have hoped for 10 days
earlier.
While Collins was in Wash

that nearly toppled the anti
Communist and U.s. backed

Control Urged

l(cn!rol urged
The fight against polio moved
into a new battle-ground this
week: politics.
Pressure began to rise in some
quarters for rigid control by the
federal gCS eminent to insure
that the Salk vaccine-which
apparently will be in short sup
ply for private use for some
time-is given first to those who
need it most.
Twelve senators joined with
Sen. Ives (R-NY) in sponsoring
a Senate bill to control distribu-
ton. A resolution calling fol-
federal controls on the distribu-
ton, sale and use of the new
vaccine also was introduced in
the House.
Sponsors ray that generally
speaking the legislation they
seek would put teeth into the

proved by many medical socie.

plans prescribe the order of In

many AFL leaders, about ring
ing doorbells and trying to in
f1uence people.
They intend to start with great
educational campaigns among
their own members. trying to
convince them that their inter
ests demand far greater bloc
voting than the leaders have
ever been able to produce in the
past, not only to elect their
theological choices to Office, but
to give the leaders themselves a
stronger voice in dealing with
all lawmakers.
Dislike Third Party Idea
BY that means they hope to
get what they want without re-
sorting to more direct political
action. Both George Meany, who
will head the merger, and Wal
ter Reuther, who will head the
CLIO within it, inveigh against
third party or labor party move
ments.
But Meany says: eff the nom
partisan effort fails; then We'll
go somewhere else. Well go
where we must go. And we'll
go as far down that road as it is
necessary to CO."
He was talking about labor
parties and third parties, not
anything which would give an
opening to the Communists, to
whom he and Reuther are firm
ly opposed. And they are well
aware that the chief objective
of communism in the United
States now is to form a farmer
labor party.
Reply From Business
Business men replied that
what labor wants is monopoly
over when and how men can
work which would be just as
much a violation of the spirit of
the antitrust laws as anything
business ever does.
The US. Chamber of Com
|merce and the NAM proposed to
fight the fire with a. backfire.
They were laying plans to meet
the organizing campaign with
right to work" laws in the 80
states which do not now have
them.
The two organizations will
not intervene directly in state
politics as the labor leaders plan
to do, but will conduct national
educational campaigns of their
own designed to spur local in
terests into action.
Nobody knows where it will
all wind up, but anybody can
see that the United States is
approaching an important turn
ing point in both its political
and economic history.

1t does MOI seem likely that
the Russians are expecting to
accomplish anything in their
favor by negotiations with the
West German government at the
highest levels, as matters stand
now. The problem before Mos
COW is to produce pressures
which either will force the West
German governments hand or
cause it to fall.

and with the rich reward of a
neutralized Germany as long
range goal-no implied promise
would be considered too extrav-
agant.

the prospect of four-power ne

bound to bring pressure for de-
laying a West German rush to
arms. Meanwhile, the Russians
will continue attempting to
bring pressure from below"
against the West German gov

opposition to the Christian Dem

the bounds of possibility that
the Russians will agree 10 "dis-

Western statesmen indicate
they are convinced the Russians

But that does not prevent the

The Soviet initiative on Aus

of that. 1t was evident for long

Russians to deprive the West OF

Beginning in 1855 up to $4,000
per year in earnings are counted
for social security purposes" ,"
said Robert B. Youmans, District
manager of the GAINESVILLE Dis
trict Office in an interview
today.
This MEANS" said MFR. You
mans, ''that future payments of
social security will be higher to
those persons earning over the
present ceiling of $4,000.
''The present $4,000 wage base
permits payment of social secu-
rity benefits of $98.50 per month
to the worker" Mr.. Youmans
continued.
The $4,000 base will eventually
allow a worker to retire and
receive as much as $108.50 per
month. Don't forget" Mr.. You
mans pointed out, ''that the
workers wife will also be eligi-
BILE for half of her husbands
benefits" This means a family
benefit of $162.80 per month if
the worker has paid social

per year.

Dear Sir:
l want to take this opportunity
to commend you for printing in
THE Journal of April 7, an
article dealing with the use of
the term Reverend.
l have always contended that
from the Biblical stand point the
use of the term Reverend in
referring to any man is wrong.
The word itself properly de-
notes the idea of alteration and
reverance as they are to be
given to God.
I am happy to learn that the
grammarians are now joining us
in our effort to impress upon
peoples mind the equality OF
all christians, and to dispel the
idea of the supposed superiority
of "the clergy.
One of the great doctrine com
ing out of the Protestant Re
formation was the universal
priesthood of all believers. Let
us not lose hold of that great
doctrine by condoning the
attempts to establish religious
castles in our churches.
