Ernest Gray, who is promot-

matches between members of the
two groups of Indians have been
real thrillers.
With matches being made at
the proper time ahead, Gray

Bad Day for the Navy

Eugene w. Landy, 81, stood with his
right hand at his side last week while
his classmates at the United States
Merchant Marine Academy took the oath
Of allegiance to this country. The others
were being sworn into the Naval Reserve.
But the Navy refused to commission
Midshipman Landy.
Only two reasons have been ad-
vanced. First, the boys mother was
member Of the Communist Party during
World War II, dropping out in 1s47 or
1948 at the sons insiStence. Second, Mid
Shipman Landy has been extremely
close to his mother circumstance
which, until now, has not been thought
to stamp one as security risk or as
potential s'lbversive.
It is to be hoped that someone in
the Navy will have the good sense to
step in and reverse this cruel and asinine
decision. Officials at Kings Point, where
young Landy graduated second in his
class, speak highly of him. In four years
at the academy, under close supervision,
no sign of disloyalty was noted. Is he to
be judged now on his own qualities and
on his own record? Or is he to be con-
demned because his mother did a foolish
thing more than decade ago? If the
latter, Midshipman Landy will suffer. But
the Navy, the good name of the Navy,
will suffer more

Churchman'S View

The growth Of automation has been
looked upon both hopefully and appre-
hensively. Certainly a continuation Of
this trend toward employment Of almost
human machines promises greater pro-
ductivity at probably lower costs. It may
threaten, temporarily at least, loss Of
Jobs even while opening the way to addi-
tional ones It promises, also, new in
creases in leisure time-a social problem
that warrants constructive thought.
A serious contribution to such
thought has been made by the Rev.
Irving Murray, Unitarian pastor Of
Pittsburgh, who has called upon religious
leaders to prepare for the challenge Of
the three-day week end in which churches
"then still fighting the old, futile battle

for the Sabbath blue laws viii and
themselves increasingly empty" The
alternative, In his opinion, is for the
churches to help their people, orient
themselves to their new leisure-"to their
spiritual renewal and refreshment."
"Our puritan background makes us
afraid either to play Or to consume" he
said, "but an automated economy re-
quires consumption without guilt and
playing without fear"
DR.. Murray undoubtedly would be
the last to describe his prescription as a
simple one. There is discernible in it,
however note of realistic understand
ing that many-sided adjustments are
essential In the changing course of GOTH
century life. While religious faiths re-
main steadfaSt, the manner of their
application to daily living may change
also with the times.

Feuding in Kentucky

A bitter fight for control Of the
Democratic Party in Kentucky has come
at last to the showdown stage. The result
may have political impact extending far
outside the State. The test, in brief, Is
whether A. B. (Happy) Chandler, former
Governor and Senator, can make start
toward regaining the political power that
he had In Kentucky for more than q
decade by winning at this time the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination. His
challenger in the party primary, held yes
terday, is former Appellate Judge Bert
Combs, but the real opposition to Mr..
Chandler is triumvirate headed by
Senator Clements, who has been acting
majority leader during the illness of
Senator Johnson of Texas. Senator Bark
ley and Governor Wetherby, the latter
prevented by Kentucky law from sue
ceeding in the governorship, have joined
Mr.. Clements in lighting the rebuilt
Chandler organization.
The national interest involved in the
Kentucky fight, aside from the colorful
personalities engaged, centers upon two
1855 political contests. One is the Demo-
cratic presidential convention next sum-
mer, in which either Mr.. Chandler or Mr..
Clements will control the Kentucky dele
cation. The other is the Senate race in
which Mr.. Clements own seat will be
at stake Mr.. Chandler already has
promised" If he wins the current fight,
to produce an opponent for Mr.. Clements
In the senatorial primary.
At this point the bitterly personal
nature Of the Democratic fight encour-
ages some belief that the Republican
Party may emerge as the ultimate winner.
While the COP. customarily is the mi
nority party in Kentucky, it has elected
two Governors out Of the last seven and
has sent Republicans to the Senate, most
recently John Sherman Cooper who is
now our Ambassador to India. Mr..
Cooper Is widely popular in the State
and he has Endorsed former United
States District Attorney, Edwin R. Denny,
for the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton. If the Democratic split carries over
to the fall campaign, it could result in
q Republican victory for the governorship
and improve their chances Of capturing
q Senate seat, or even the States presi-
Dental vote, in 1855. 1t would not be
the first time that local intraparty
rivalries have had important bearing
upon the course Of national political
history

u. S. Show for Moscow?

In keeping with the idea Of promot-
ing contacts between East and West-an
idea discussed at the Geneva summit"
conference-an American business group
has volunteered to stage in Moscow an
elaborate show of agricultural and other
equipment produced in the United States.
The proposal, which apparently has re-
ceived at least the tentative approval of
the State Department, has been for
warded to the Kremlin, and there are
some indications that the response may
be favorable. In any case, such a re-
spouse would be welcome in this country
as another token Of Soviet willingness to
make the Iron Curtain less iron than it
has been.
As outlined by the business group, the
proposed exhibit would be the first and
largest Of It's kind ever put on inside the
Soviet empire by the United States Al
though 1t would include the latest models
Of American automobiles, urban delivery
trucks and the like, the show would be
primarily agricultural in character Thus,
1t would place on view wide and typical
variety Of tractors and other machinery
used by our farmers, and 1t would also
display various advanced techniques for
soil conservation, large-scale irrigation.
etc. AS made clear by the Russian farm
experts now visiting our Midwest, these
are things in which the people and gov
eminent Of the USSR are intensely in
terested, and so the Kremlin has reason
to favor the idea Of inviting such an ex-
position to Moscow.
OF course, show of this kind could
not produce quick or magical results in
terms Of trade or anything else. But it
could have real value as a project de-
signed to generate good will and promote
mutual understanding and mutual trust.
Accordingly, assuming that they are
genuinely sincere when they talk about
wanting to create friendly international
climate, the Soviet leaders must feel
inclined to give the go-ahead signal to
the American-proposed farm exhibit. At
any rate, regardless of how they may re-
spond, there can be no doubt that VEN
lures of this sort-carried out on recip-
rocal basis-deserve to be encouraged as
undertakings helpful to the cause Of
peace.

Blood Bank

After reading the letter
signed "Over Age" in regard
to the shortage of blood for
the Red Cross in Montgomery
County, I would like to express
my concern, because / was q
patient who needed blood dur
ing q serious operation.
One can picture a situation
so much clearer If he has been
in such a situation 1t makes
me wake up at night thinking.
What If there had not been
Red Cross blood when I needed
it?"
The Montgomery County Red
Cross did not demand that my
husband or our friends re-
place the blood that was used
for me, but suggested it in q
form letter. This we were glad
to do, knowing that 1t would
be used for someone else who
needed 1t as badly as I had.
It seems to me that giving
your blood to help keep an
other alive is the real spirit
Of Christianity. 1t also may
be, as the Bible says: Cast
your bread upon the waters
and 1t may come back to you"
In other words, II Is an insur-
ance for the future.

Every Day Is Sunday

It Is becoming monotonous

of doing business on Sunday.
Our Sundays. Wednesdays or
any day is ours to spend in
any manner we please provid-
ing we break no laws. If ! re-
call, each day of the week is
Sabbath to some faith. Just

II all the people of the world
refrained from doing business
on their special daysl
My encyclopedia informs me
that "the proper observance
Of the Sabbath is still a large
question. AS to the need Of
resting from work there is no
doubt. Both man and beast
can accomplish more work by
resting"
So let each man worship as
he sees fit and observe his
Sabbath as his heart dictates
without being forced to con-
form. To Each His Own.

THE GAME OF POLITICS
Labor Pulls Squeeze Play on Public

AS they look back over the
recent session Of Congress
and in fact over the last two
and q half decades thought
full men in both parties are in
creasingly appalled, at a situa-
ton which steadily threatens
the national economy. Every
man in politics Except the
rawest demagogue) knows this
to be true. but few have the
character and courage to stand
up and tell the full truth.
To express it as simply as
possible this state Of affairs is
due to the extraordinary
power Of the great labor unions
to compel industry to yield to
their demands no matter how
gross or unfair. Faced with
the choice Of yielding or being
strangled 1t is not surprising
that industry surrenders and
then passes on the cost to the
customer. Some struck con-
Germs, it is true, have pre-
ferred to die but that Is not q
sound way out. The only al
tentative IL to make the best
compromise you can and then
raise the price Of the product.
This would not be so devastat-
ing a process If 1t happened
once or twice and then could
be stabilized. But there is no
stability. 1t is q steadily con-
tinuing procedure. The union
demands are increasing and
Unsuitable. The result, of
course, Is to raise the cost Of
living for everybody and pro-
mote an imitation which. it is
agreed, is o national danger
second only to war.
As one views the tactics of
the unions in the recent past
their advantage over industry
IL clear. The unions are sure
to win even when, as under
this administration. the great
weight Of the Government is
not openly thrown on their
side. as during the Roosevelt
Truman regimes. One basic
reason is because the unions
are united while industry is
divided. The best example of
this was when the United Au-
tomobile Workers first singled
out the Ford plant for their
strike. This completely stopped
Ford production while Cen
eral Motors. Chrysler and
other competitors continued to
produce. Clearly, while Ford
was handcuffed its rivals
would run of with the market.

Special Session Threat

The "cold war" that did not develop
openly between Republican administra-
ton and Democratic-led Congress dur
Ing the session Just ended has come
closer to reality In the post-mortem
statements of the past few days.
President Eisenhower, paying tribute
at his news conference to the bipartisan
approach Of the legislators to matters in
the field of foreign affairs, was more
pointedly critical Of the lack of accom-
plishment on domestic legislation. Spe-
cif1cally, he noted that only four out of
Is high-priority legislative recommended
tons have been enacted and, more pre-
cisely, that four out of the remaining
nine were In his opinion absolutely
vital to our future" These latter four
were: school construction program,
health program, highway building pro-
gram and a plan for water resources
development. Under questioning at his
news conference, he limited he might
even call Congress back for a special
session In the autumn to consider these
items-although he emphasized that he
has up to now made no such decision
whatever" At the same time, the Presi-
dent further modified his own threat"
by acknowledging that a special session
"ts a rather critical and serious thing,
and expensive thing" Significantly, per-
hapS, Republican spokesman, while agree
ing with the Presidents evaluation of
the past session, were guarded in their
reaction toward the idea Of special
seSsion-Senate Minority Leader Know
land remarking only that he assumed
congressional leaders would be con-
suited on such possibility.
Immediate Democratic reaction was
more direct, and clearly indicative Of
resistance to the special session idea.
Bluntly, Speaker Rayburn asked what
for?" and Senator Holland of Florida
warned that Constructive results" could
not be expected of "tired Congress"
on four such tough subjects. More subtly,
Senate Majority Leader Johnson, in a
statement issued from Bethesda Naval
Hospital, has answered the Presidents
criticism while implying clearly that the
next regular session will be time enough
to consider any leftover legislation. mo
session OF Congress ever adjourns with
out leaving some unfinished business on
the books" the Texan said. This session
did advance on most of the major issues
to point where they can be tackled
early next year." Then, rather pointedly,
Mr.. johnson mentioned the legislative
progress made on three of the four items
specified by Mr.. Eisenhower-water re-
sources, highway building and school
construction.
This jockeying aside, there would
seem little practical value in calling Con-
gress back early. A resentful majority
would hardly be inclined to do in few
weeks what it has not done in seven
months.
