Strikebound Britain

The sense of confidence and well-being
which seemed so noticeable IN Britain
after last weeks Conservative Party elec-
ton victory has been shaken by country
wide rail and dock strikes. The govern
ment's concern has been dramatized now
by Queen Elizabeths action, recommended
by Prime Minister Eden, in declaring
national emergency. Under emergency
powers, the Prime Minister may call out
troops and requisition supplies needed to
maintain the nations essential services.
But even such action as this can provide
only a bare minimum of the things re-
uuired for the country's daily living. Ex-
tension of the transport tieup, particularly
that of the railroad system, already Is
hitting industry hard and Threatening
serious interruption to Britain's record
breaking prosperity of recent months.
Interunion differences are basically
responsible for both strikes. On the rail-
roads, the striking union is the Society OF
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen-the1r
grievance being refusal Of the British
Transport Commission, which has jurls-
diction over the nationalized system, to
grant wage increases which would main
tain a differential over rates paid unskilled
railway workers. This differential was up
set by system-wide increase given by the
BIC last fall The nonStriking National
Union of Railwaymen, representing the
bulk of workers, opposes the differential
principle and has announced it would de-
mand matching increases if the striking
locomotive crews win their point. It is
largely because of this threat Of new
round of wage demands that the BIC
has resisted the engineers and f1remen's
request. On the docks, stevedoreS have
crippled six of the country's largest ports
in a iurisdictional fight between the big
General Transport Workers Union and the
smaller Amalgamated Stevedores and
Dockers Union over the latter's demand
for comparable bargaining recognition.
Since Britain's national interests are
deeply involved in these two demonstra-
tions of interunion rivalry, the respective
labor leaders would do well to reassess
their. jurisdictional disputes and give more
serious thought to the country's welfare.

School Economy

! should like to be sure you
hear from one Montgomery
County resident and taxpayer
who Is not pleased with the
short-sighted economy Of the
very new Montgomery County
manager.
It cannot be called true
economy when q county Cd
fails to provide teacher SAL

capable teachers in a scarce
teacher market: co backs away

If 1t is postponed until stu
dents are on halliday sched-
ules; (3) discards all evidence
that the need for remedial pro-
grams is emphasized with
pending integration, not elimi-
mated.
We can only hope that this
impetuous action by the new
Democratic county manager
will not be condoned by the
new Democratic County Coun-
Gil. Disguised Democrat.

Multiple Taxes

The House Ways and Means
Committee has in its possess
sion bill H.R. Ais, introduced
by Representative Wolverton
of New Jersey.
This bill provides in part
that q Federal employees in
come may be taxed only by
the State in which he lives, or
is domiciled.
AS one of the many thou
sands Of Washingtonians faced
with the dilemma of taxation
without representation" I wish
to express my ideas and view-
points.
We, as loyal Washington
ians, shoulder our many civil
responsibilities as citizens of
the District. paying our D. c.
taxes. We also pay sales taxes,
real estate taxes, and all other
fees and taxes, In addition to
regular charity contributions
and civil donations. Along with
this. we are among the un-
fortunates in the Nation who
are caught in the high-rent
brackets. high real estate taxes
and real estate property pur-
chases, high cost Of living in
general, such as food, cloth
ing, household necessities,
amusements, transportation, ct
cetera.
We also are victims Of the
continual plaguing Capital
Transit threats Of fare raising.
Many D. C. citizens, both
men and women, are veterans,
who have given war services to
our country and to the world,
to make the world safe and
free for democracy. Such prin-
ciples Of democracy uphold q
mans rights. civil liberties and
all Of his freedoms.
The Maryland income tax
that is being imposed upon
Washingtonians, is not only a
nonresident, nonparticipating,
llonrepresentative tax, but 1t
also creates q stigma that we
feel does not follow the lines
and principles of true Amer
ican equity.
There are certain known
derivatives resulting from
taxes. such as better streets,
better roads, bridges, lights,
schools. Fairgrounds, protec-
tive services such as police and
fire departments, and numer-
Gus other services for its citi-
ZenS.
I am still trying to find
some one thing that residents
of the District receive by pay
ing a Maryland State income
tax. The only thing I can
come up with is very limited
use Of Maryland roads to and
from the District for those
who drive, and that has al
ready been and is being paid
back in the form of taxes from
tobacco. gasoline, etc., collect
ed from us.
We as 100 per cent Ameri-
can. law abiding, voteless
Washingtonians. hereby urg-
emily appeal passage of this
very timely and vital bill. H.R.

President Eisenhower's
thesis that q Vice President of
the United States must not
only be acceptable TO the Pres
ident but must also have SIM
liar views of Government and
Of the issues of the day makes
sense.
Obviously, as the President
told his most recent press con-
ference, should q President die
and q Vice President then
move into the White House
with divergent beliefs and a
different philosophy Of Gov
ernment, q chaotic condition
could arise.
For the sake of politics
and desire to win. however,
the major political parties in
the past have disregarded this
sound thesis. Political expedi-
ency has caused parties to at
tempt to play both sides Of the
street---to get votes. Men even
OF different political PARTIES
have been placed on the same
ticket-for President and Vice
President. For example. VIII
liam Henry Harrison. q Wing.
was given John Tyler. q DEM
ocrat, as his running mate.
Harrison was elected. He died
soon after taking the presi-
Dental Office. The chaotic
conditions - referred to by
President, Eisenhower-arose.
Another example was the
nomination of Andrew john
son, a Union Democrat, for
Vice President. with Abraham
Lincoln for President in 1864.
After Lincoln's assassination,
johnson, a Democrat. was un-
able to get along with the Re-
publican Congress, even though
he tried to carry out ideas
that Lincoln had.
No Contrary Ideas
President Eisenhower's COM
ments also made it clear that
If he should be a candidate to
succeed himself, he would in
sist on having as his running
mate a man like Vice Presi-
dent Nixon who goes along
with the Presidents policies
right down the line. Virtually,
the President gave notice he
would not run, but step aside,
If the Republican National
Convention should give him a
vice presidential candidate
with contrary ideas. Indeed,
it all sounded as though the
President is thinking about
running-hasn't closed his
mind against a second term.
Also. he described the office of
President as fascinating"
which would engage the in
terest of any man alive.
Clearly, the President is not
of q mind to leave it entirely
UP to the party's national con-
vention to select q vice presi-
dental candidate. He will

TempletOn Jones Is q funny
fellow, most Of his friends
agree. a
Actually, he is not funny"
at all, in the sense Of odd or
different, as commonly used.
He is just honest. HIS
friends know more about him
than they do of others they
know, because he loves to talk,
and is not reluctant to talk
about himself. Ahem.
His latest self-story follows:
He had been having quite a
time about getting to sleep.
Insomnia had reared its ugly
head, with undeserved rebuffs
to Jones. He couldn't sleep,
he didn't know whether he
was trying to watch an H
bomb go off, or had drunk too
many cups Of coffee after 10
noon.
Many persons who cannot
sleep do not realize that there
is a time limit on caffeine. 1t
has a delayed action.
Temp Jones sometimes could
get to sleep, then would wake
up at am.
Now, waking up is not too
bad, but not going back to
sleep is none too good.
So there lay Templeton
Jones, too sleepy to read, but
evidently not sleepy enough to
go to sleep again.
1t was very disturbing.
His own system of making
the mind an absolute blank
had fallen with q crash.
Ideas chased themselves
through his mind in q stream,
one after the other, one no
sooner ousted than another
took its place.
\ 50
All this time, our friend
Jones suffered" from a neck
ailment.
It did not pain. or ache, but
was what the medical men cali
nalaise.
The moment he lay down, 1t
seemed to hit the back of his
neck. as if a bad devil held him
down with forked stick.
The moment he rose. the
constraint seemed to drain
away in seconds.
Probably too much activity
in his sympathetic nervous
system. or something or other.
It was a nuisance, but 1t
didn't hurt, and home treat
ment depends upon hurting.
What doesn't hurt Is left
alone. A very bad system,
perhaps, in some ways, but a
good enough one In others.
Between the top Of his neck,
or the bottom of his brain the
never quite knew which, and
the sleeplessness, Templeton
Jones seemed in bad way.
But being one who likes to,
dabble in home treatment, he
refused the palpating aid of
doctors. and thought he would
get himself one of the newer
sleeping pills.
In this case the pills were
. capsules. rather small affairs,
with an active ingredient
given the name Of something
or other ''hydrochloride.
doc" Jones thought it must
be one Of the antihistamines
which had too many side ef-
fects, as the doctors call them,
