Dangerous Gamble

1t becomes increasingly apparent
that the transit union is not really inter
ested in making a voluntary settlement
with the company. Had there been
present any such desire, a settlement
would have been reached.
The unacceptable inference is that the
union membership, or its leadership, be-
lieveS it can get more out of settlement
dictated under the terms of the legisla
ton now awaiting presidential action
than by its own voluntary action.
Yet, under this proposed law, the
fate of the union is bound up with that
of the company, and the purpose of
the law is to destroy the company. There
is no sure thing in any decision by the
union, for any decision involves gam
BILE. The more sensible gamble with the
unions future, however, would be a
voluntary agreement with the company.
If the men went back to work, the legiS-
lation would be unnecessary. If the bill
becomes law the union, with the COM
pany, shares its hazards.

to his claim that continued fighting In
the interior Of Colombia has necessitated
his drastic new censorship decree. Actu-
ally, according to all authoritative re-
ports, he has taken this step primarily
because he cannot tolerate criticism OF
either himself or his policies. And in that
sense, like Juan Peron of Argentina and
other would-be or real despots, he has fol-
lowed the usual dictatorial pattern OF
being quick to strike at the free press as
one of the chief bulwarks of individual
and collective liberty.
In the circumstances, considering the
fine democratic past of his country, 1t
must be hoped that President Rojas, TAX
ing heed of protests like the one just
addressed to him, will in due course re-
scind his censorship order. Otherwise,
denied freedom of expression, Colombia
will be in danger of drifting tragically
into the status of land cursed with full
dictatorship.

HeHs Canyon Decision

For almost a decade, the issue OF
public versus private development of the
power potential of the Snake River in
Hells Canyon-described as the deepest
river gorge on the North American con-
tinent-has been a political football
Since 1947, Congress has been split
largely, but not entirely, on partisan
basis, with Democrats being the leading
advocates of public development. Re-
publicans have inclined toward allowing
private utilities to finance a plan for
Harvesting the river energy. Under both
Democratic and Republican admlnlStra-
tions, however, Congress still has failed
to take affirmative action on the project.
The underlying philosophy of the
Eisenhower administration, clearly ex-
pressed by the President on several
occasions, is to favor private power de-
velopment where feasible rather than
to expand Federal activity and invest
ment in such projects. One of the first
administration decisions in this contro-
versial field of power development was to
ask the Federal Power Commission, more
than two years ago, to make recon-
At the same time, the Interior Depart
ment withdrew long standing objection
to an application of the Idaho Power
Company for permission to build three
dams in the canyon. Public power advo-
Gates favored Federal construction of
single larger dam of greater productive
capacity. Cost estimates are about Sl75
million for the private project and about
1857 million, as a beginning, for the
Federal development. In addition, the
Federal construction would take an esti-
mated three to eight years longer
depending on the source of the estimates.
The FPC has now recon m n d d
unanimously in favor of the private de-
velopment, but public power advocates
are promising continued opposition in
court and in Congress.
More heat than light has been shed
upon this whole controversy and it is
not surprising now to hear cries OF
give away" In these times, however,
private utilities are publicly regulated
and it has not been demonstrated that
their expansion is against the national
interest. The Snake River area needs
the power, and the canyon provides a
site for its production without cost to the
Federal Government and the taxpayers
of the country as whole. If this FPC
proposal is supplemented, the work can
start. If not, only the controversy will
remain - with the Snake River I'M
harnessed and no power produced.

CoIombiu's Censorship

Although the move is not likely to
effect an early improvement in the Situa-
ton, the Inter American Press ASsocia-
ton has done we'll in emphatically pro-
testing to President Gustavo Rojas-Pinilla
against the censorship he has imposed
upon all the newspapers of Colombia.
Only few short years ago Colombia
was regarded as one of the best examples
of democracy at work in the Western
Hemisphere. But internal troubles de-
veloped, and then the country began to
suffer the torrents of bitter civil strife,
with much violence and bloodshed. 1t
was at this point that General Rojas
stepped into the picture to restore order.
He did a good job in that respect, and he
seemed to be a particularly reasSuring
and inspiring leader because Of the many
eloquent things he said at that time in
behalf of freedom.
Unfortunately, however, the deeds of
General Rojas have been quite different
from his words, and there is a hollow ring

IsroeI's Political Split

Israel'S recent parliamentary cleo
tions appear to have raised more ques-
lions than they have answered. Official
returns now show that the greatest gains
in the multiparty contest were made by
the minority groups while significant
losses were suffered by the moderate
Socialist Mapai Party and It's chief ad-
versary, the right-wing General Zionist
Party. And while the Mapai, the party
of Premier Sharrett and Defense Minister
-Gurion, continues as the most pop
ular single party and will have 40 seats
in the '20-member Parliament, its losses
probably will require broadening OF
the coalition government and some re-
vision of past policies.
One of the disturbing election devel-
opments was the substantial gain recorded
by the Herut Party, right-Wing nation
alist group that generally is considered
to be the political descendant of the ter
roriSt Irgun Zvai Leumi. With Is seats
in the new Parliament, the Herut will
have the second largest bloc in the legiS
lative body Up to now, at least, Mapai
leaders have refused to consider either
the Herut or the Communist Party, which
will hold six seats, as partners in a gov
eminent coalition. The National Reli-
gious Front, previously in the coalition
and made up of several small groups on
both the left and the right, also made
gains which indicate they will control II
seats.
Obviously, the Mapai Party must be
the nucleus of new coalition but its
leadership, makeup and policies are sub
ject to future determination. The Cen
eral ZioniStS, who broke with the Mapai
before the election, and the left-Wing
Achduth Avodah Party will have Is and 10
seats, respectively. One or the other may
have to be part of the new government
if it is to count on safe working ma
jority, strong enough to fend off some
of the more extremist groups.

to get a real perspective of the

three-fourths of the cars can

Instead Of appropriating $12

solution of the auto problem
is to tighten up on the credit

Flaws Flanders

Senator Mccarthy was once
roundly criticized for calling
the junior Senator from Yer
mont "senile." 1t would seem
now that the junior Senator
is doing all in his power to
prove Mccarthy right again!
Senator Flanders has sug-
gested that we offer to ship our
surplus wheat to the Chinese.
starving under treacherous
Red domination. If this offer
is refused. he wishes to send
unarmed bombers loaded with
bags of wheat to be dropped
by parachute on the Red
mainland. We are to bring out
all our fighters when these
mercy bombers are fired upon
by the Reds. This would mean
war, of course. The naive
Senator goes on to say.
". Can there be war when
our objective is the welfare
of the Chinese people?"
Is Senator Flanders perhaps
not aware that the Chinese
are starving because their Red
masters are exporting badly
needed food to his Soviet
brothers? This would indi-
cate little concern for the well
fare of the starving.
What powerful propaganda
this Senator twitlessly, no
doubt has placed in the hands
of the Reds. who will claim
every grain of wheat to be i'm
pregnated with deadly germs;
germ warfare: aerial spying!
There is no end to the propa-
ganda these Red wretches can
use-even though they, them
selves, may be gluttoning on
American wheat meant for the
starving.
How do our planes get
to the Red mainland? Where
will the Red antiaircraft and
fighter planes be when we are
flying bombers over their
country against their wishes.
Our boys are not expendable.
but some of our Senators are.
If we adopt Senator Flanders
suggestion, let the Senators
who vote for such a stupid
measure man the unarmed
bombers-with Flanders plane
in the lead.
Then. let's keep the corn
in Vermont and the wheat in
America unless we can deliver
it by soundly peaceful means!

undergone an operation for

inflrmary and the hospital for
more than 80 years. Another
was an 83-year-old widower
who had been in the hospital
for more than two years.
The other subjects were in
their 70s.
Previous to the experiments,
these old men had eaten about
what they pleased. Appetites
were quite poor. Food intake
amounted to from 1900 to
1900 calories a day. All were
placed on a forced diet of
1900 Galleries a day. All COM
planned that they were over
fed. Within a few days, how
ever, these complaints stopped.
The old men were eating gladly
the full meals furnished them.
All complained of the pain
caused by the injections. In
some cases. where injections
had been made in the hips,
this was so severe that it in
terfered with walking. One
man, however. had no pain at
all. Elevations in temperature
and changes in blood count
were produced at first, but all
these drawbacks were quite
temporary. Tolerance to the
pain developed quite rapidly
after the first three injections.
Says the report of Drs.
Shock and Watkin just pub
lished in the Journal of Geron-
tology: There was an early
suppression of appetite, prob
ably resulting from the local
reaction and fever. BY the end
of the week, however, appetite
returned. A late result of the
therapy was the change in
mental attitude of the subjects.
Joviality increased. Testimoni-
ais of well-being were volun-
teered. Generalized euphoria
seemed to seize some. Inter-

The experiments show, the
Public Health Service doctors
report, that the hormone
causes retention of nitrogen,
potassium and phosphorus in
old men above and beyond
what can be expected from
feeding a high protein diet
alone. They were disappointed
that there apparently was no
increase in the body's utiliza-
ton of calcium, necessary for
the strength of bones. Bone
brittleness often accompanies
old age and broken arms, legs
and hips are frequent.
