of the continued crime rise

He said the crime rate for last

an increase in the force to bring
its strength to $500 men but the
Commissioners have said the
District budget can't stand an
increase at this time.

prepared in recognition OF these
facts.
To abandon our program for
the gradual reduction of unjus-
tifiable trade barriers-to vitiate
the administration proposals by
crippling amendments - would
strike a severe blow at the CO.
operative efforts of the free ma
tons to build up their economic
and military defenses. 1t could
result in increasing discrimina-
ton against our exports. 1t
could lead to widespread trade
restrictions and a sharp con-
traction in world trade. 1t could
mean a retreat to economic ma
tionalism and isolationism. 1t
would constitute a serious set
back to our hopes for global
peace.
Two-way trade. I believe. is a
broad avenue by which all men
and nations of good will can
travel toward a golden era Of
peace and plenty. Your admins
tration is committed to help
building it. I personally believe
it is for the greater good of all
1854 million of our people and I
shall not relax my personal effort
towards its achievement.
We shall succeed, given the
support of all who-unaffrighted
by crises-are prepared to act
on today's problems while they
work for tomorrow's better and
happier future. The accom-
plishment of this goal is worthy
of the best effort Of all Ameri-
cans. Through you and all your
associates dedicated to the mis-
sion of spreading the truth, a
more rapid progress can be made.
Cites Spiritual Truths
AS we build a richer material
world, we must always remem-
Der that there are spiritual
truths which endure forever.
They are the universal inspira-
ton of all mankind. In them,
men of both the free world and
the Communist world can find
guidance. Do we remember those
words Of our faith-"all things
whatsoever We would that men
should do to you, do We even so
to them?"
Do we remind ourselves that
a similar thread of peaceful and
lofty exhortation reveals itself
in the words of every one of
the historic religious leaders?
Their followers today people
great nations.
The Far East. the Middle
East, the Near East, the West
Asia and Africa and Europe and
the American hemisphere-all
alike possess in their heritage
the same universal ideal. Why
then should we permit pes
simism to slow our efforts, de-
spair to darken our spirit?
Can we not convince ourselves
that in cooperation there is
strength.
Cannot you. men of the pen,
propagate knowledge of eco
nomic truth Just as your profess
sional forebears spread the
truths that inspired our FORE
fathers to achieve a national
independence? For when all peo-
pie, everywhere. understand that
trade is a fertile soil for the
growth of a shared prosperity,
of all kinds of cooperative
strength, and of understanding
and tolerance, the fruit thereof
will be another historic step on
the road to universal peace.

Praises Role Of Press.
The President told his audi
ence of publishers and editors
that Americas newspapers have
additionally been a guarantee
that truth will reach every part
of our country and all the free
peoples of the world" He said it
never was more important than
it is today that the people of the
entire world have free access to
the truth. And he asked:
Cannot you, men of the pen,
propagate knowledge of econom-
ic truth just as your professional
forebears spread the truths that
I inspired our forefathers to

ence?
For, when all people, every

of cooperative strength, and of

fruit thereof will be another his

Two Great Detectives

nations"
2. An expanding American
economy, whose benefits widely
shared among all our citizens,
will make us even better able
to cooperate with other friendly
nations in their economic ad-
vancement and our common
prosperity"
On the second point, the
President plugged hard for his
international trade program.
I'VE have an unmatched pro-
duction system. But even our
economy will not thrive if con-
fined to our own land. So 70
sustain our own prosperity and
economic growth we must
strengthen the economic bonds
between us and others of the
free world.
Thus We confront the Com
mlln,sts with a vast and yolun-
terry partnership Of vigorous ex-
pand!ng national economies
whose aggregate power and pro-
ductiyity. ALWAYS increasing. can
never be successfully challenged
bya the Communist world"

Lessons From the Strike

Encouraged by their success In deal
ing with dif11cult trafflc conditions during
last summers transit strike, the police
have prepared list of traffic suggestions
well worth serious study, since they are
based on actual experience Practicable
ity Of some Of the proposals on long
range basis will have to be weighed by
other agencies, however, since they relate
to technical matters outside the field Of
traffic law enforcement.
In a report to Chief Murray, Deputy
Chief Agnew said that 1t was the con-
Sensus Of police on duty during the strike
that speed limits should be raised in some
areas, left-hand turns should be further
restricted, more one-way and unbal-
anced-lane streets should be marked OF,
smaller streetcar loading platforms pro-
vided, signals more responsive to trafiic
now installed, additional traffic officers
assigned to rush-hour duty and some
better means Of impounding Illegally
parked cars devised. Most Of these are
in highway and trafflc fields supervised
by other municipal authorities.
The Police Department, however,
could act unilaterally with respect to put
ting more traffic policemen on busy thor
oughfares during the morning and eve
ming rush periods. Well-trained officers
at key intersections can give fiexibility to
trafic control not possible with auto
matte signals alone. As for impounded
cars, some police used an unauthorized
car-starting technique during the strike
emergency to move cars that were block
ing trafic. Deputy Chief Agnew may
have had this In mind In recommending
that some method other than towing be
devised to move impounded automobiles.
The plan employed during the strike was
drastic, but 1t was effective.
The police are entitled to a fair hear
Ing on their composite program for expe-
diting the dow Of traffic In this congested
city. Their prestige in the field OF traffic
control was greatly enhanced by their
eficient and courteous handling Of the
transit emergency.

A Clear Voice Speaks

Senator Kennedy, youthful Massa-
chusetts Democrat, has offered to both
political parties some good advice on the
farm problem. It is, in brief, that they
should deal with 1t Sonndly and intelli-
gently rather than demagogically he
admittedly fears they will. Making clear
his own opposition to return 70 rigid
and high price supports, at least until
the flexible support program has had an
opportunity to work, he has proposed four
standards "of what should not so into
next years farm platforms"
His suggestions are that no farm
platform should (l) Be based upon the
myths and magic that are believed neceS-
sary to win farm votes: t2) be calculated
to aid one section of the country or OF
the economy at the expense Of others;
(3) depend primarily on enlargement OF
subsidies and accumulation OF surpluses;
"a pretend that program Of either fixed
or sliding supports offers perfect and
final answer to the ILLS Of agriculture.
Mr. Kennedy describes himself aptly
as q "city Senator" and acknowledges
realistically that that category Of public
ONCE holder probably will have little In
fluence In the drafting OF party farm
planks. But Mr.. Kennedy made his pro-
posals before the Massachusetts, Farm
Bureau Convention and the bluntnesS Of
his analysis of the political demagoguery
generally associated with the farm prob
lem reflected clear and serious thinking.
Aside from his appeal to give the Repub-
lican- sponsored flexible support program
fair trial, the New England Democrat
was as critical of one party as of the
other In their approach to the farm issue
and its political implications. He was,
in fact, more complimentary to the farm
ers than to the politicians, and In that
context his remarks might be studied
profitably by both parties.
The Senator does not believe, for
example, that the farm vote can be
bought" by whichever party offers the
most costly subsidy program. And,
pointing out that farm interests vary
between sections of the country and be-
tween types of farming, he rejects the
idea that farmers as group are indiher-
ent to the national welfare as whole.
Finally, he views with frank skepticism
the assumption of "some Of my colleagues
In the political profession" that they have
the unquestioned right to pose as farm
spokesmen." For "city Senator" Mr..
Kennedy sounds more like statesman
on the farm problem than do many others
who have spoken often and at length
on the same subject.

When the late President

considerable measure, is the
reason for the repeated and

made by the Democratic lead

Nixon. They feel he Is the

They have set about it long

They will smear him in any
way they can. They single him
out from all other Republican

against Democratic candidates

the only charge he made
against the Democrats was
that they foolishly and blindIy
