Beqqors in Paradise

The editor of the Soviet labor news
paper, Trud, has expressed surprise and
sorrow over the revelation by staff sur
vey that begging has become a prevalent
and profitable-practice in Moscow and
other Russian cities We share the
EDITORS surprise. The thought of beggars
in the communistic version of paradise is
very disilluSioning.
OF course, Trud's editor has FASTENED
to explain that there is really no unem-
ployment in Russia. Everybody can have
q job II he wants one. In fact, all able
bodied men are supposed to work, cheer
fully and enthusiastically, for the good of
the state-and for their own good. as well.
Why, then, are there so many beggars
on Moscow'S streets and railway cars?
The answer is simple, according to Trud.
These parasites" are buns" IN need OF
drink or panhandlerS who have found it
easier TO beg for living than work for
It. Both types the Trud editor COM
planned. are without shame. without con-
science"
More surprising than the fact that
Seggars exist is the fact thai they manage

Sorry Lobbying Story

It was at least an exercise of deplor-
ably bad judgment when 1.-TWO statesmen"
OF the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
undertook telegram blitz to influence
the Senate vote on the natural gas bill
Lobbying for or against legislation is an
accepted and legalized practice. 1t be-
comes something else, however, when any
interested party attempts to overwhelm
Congress by barrage of kilograms bear
ing forged signatures. The Senate Lobby
Ing Investigating Committee has revealed
that this was done in the case of the
natural gas bill, with Senator Thye,
Minnesota Republican, being the target.
Frank o. Prior, president of the Indiana
company, has acknowledged that the
campaign was undertaken by company
statesmen with the cost chalked to mar
keting expenses" although without his
knowledge at the time.
The whole story Of the natural gas
bills course through Congress developed
into sorry chapter of pressureS and
contemporaries, to the point where
merits Of the legislation became entirely
secondary. Indeed, President Essen
hover, who had expressed some sym
pathy with the detectives of the legisla-
ton, vetoed the measure because of the
arrogant" lobbying that helped bring
about its passage. Two lawyers and one
oil company already are under indict-
ment for their activities during consid-
Grafton Of the measure and there prob
ably are other details of the mess not yet
revealed. The special Senate committee
should pursue its inquiry, and all reason
able steps should be taken to prevent a
repetition of this sort Of shabby business.

Secretary Of State Dulles de-
serves the highest praise for
what is truly an act Of creative
craftsmanship and a new PIN
ciple of international law:
That the users Of wealth and
economic facilities have the
right to protect their interests
as against the sovereignty Of
the nations in which they may
be located. Such new concepts
and new ways Of looking at in
ternational relations are des-
perately needed If nations are
to coexist or even to continue
to exist in a thermo-nuclear
future growing incredibly por-
tentous each year.
This obviously is a modifi-
cation of the idea OF national
sovereignty in keeping with the
interdependence Of the world
economy. 1t is a challenge to
the Communist and even So
cialist ideas Of more and more
sovereignty for nations-ex-
cept, Of course. their satellites.
But this can be only the
merest beginning of changes in
basic concepts Of world society
If even one more generation is
to continue to exist. So des-
perate is the real situation
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-17

With the launching of the business
phase of the United Givers Fund cam
paign, Washington has embarked also
on an important new course in charity
fund collection in the business COM
munity. Being tried for the first time
here is the chapter plan" of united CIV
ing, designed to strengthen the one-pack-
age attack on the problem of multiple
drives.
Under the chapter plan, business
firms pledge themselves to conduct only
one fund campaign a year among their
employees and to provide payroll deduc-
ton or other installment system for the
convenience of Salaried contributors. The
chapter plan has been tried out in many
other cities and found to be essential to
the success of any united fund program.
The firm enrolled in the chapter plan
agrees to form its own chapter" of the
United Givers Fund, to make corporate
gift to the fund, to organize committees
OF workers and supervisory employees for
an intensive drive within the f1rm to en-
courage employees to serve as solicitors on
company time and to make adequate pro-
vision for collecting inStalment payments.
This is a variation of the Government
plan, also being put to it's first test this
year. The Federal establishment, how
ever, will permit two annual collections
one for the UGF agencies and one for
group of health organizations. And since
payroll deductions for private agencies
is not authorized by Federal law, install
ment payments will be collected by ad-
ministrative officials. The combination
of the business and governmental pro-
grams is expected to produce a major
part OF the $3.50 million to be sought in
the city-wide campaign, which opens
of1cially on October /. Therefore the
emphasis being put on preliminary prep
aration In these two sectors of the drive
is well worth while.

Drag Strip Racing
: If authorities in any Of

If authorities in any Of the nearby
counties are seriously considering the
sponsorship of drag strip" racing by
young hot-rodders, they might do well to
listen to the advice of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police. 1t is the
consensus of the associations nationwide
membership that drag" racing, even
when officially supervised may tend to
encourage speeding and other recklessness
on the public highways.
The association, in a resolution
adopted at its recent convention in Chi
cago, deplored the fact that a number
of city councils and police departments
have encouraged the hot-rodders' contests
by setting aside official drag strips"
The idea behind the plan was that hot-rod
racing on the highways would be reduced
If the speed enthusiasts were given a
place to stage their weird and ofttimes
dangerous activities These activities
largely center around contests in getting
cars up to a maximum acceleration from
a standing start. Tires, engines and ear
drums take beating in the process.
We share the police organizations
belief that such contests are no sub
stitute for the teaching of safe-driving
practices" Instead, they may lend official
sanction to type Of recklesSneSS that,
when resorted to on public roads, can
bring injury and death not only TO the
participants but TO other drivers. Why
any city or county would subsidize such
foolishness Is hard 70 understand.

erything we come in contact
with during our lifetimes.
Negro children are born with
the dreadful weight of dis
elimination on their heads.
1t is the most prominent and
powerful force in their lives
and they develop accordingly.
There is only one way to
look at the problem of dis
elimination and segregation
and that is to decide whether
or not it is morally right or
wrong. The answer is fair and
equal confederation for all
people regardless Of race,

Brush-Off

The history of art offers
as one Of its most engaging
features the familiar story of
the artist who survived deri-
sion. denunciation, and even
indifference to win in the long
run both critical and popular
acclaim. usually posthumously.
Without exception, it has been
said of such artists that they
were confused. unintelligible.
incompetent, amateurish, and
frivolous. They were even
called dilettante.
Without anticipating his
tory's verdict on the work of
Mrs. Dorothy Goldberg. so EVIL
IDENTIFY lacking in appeal to
your correspondent. John c.
Rogers, 1t must be said in the
interest Of accuracy that Mrs.
Goldberg Is a serious, sensi-
tive, and imaginative artist:
she has studied and labored
long and faithfully; she has
experimental boldly and hon.
estly according to her lights
and intuition: she is. further
more, an excellent draughts-
man as, understand. any art
list should be If it is his intent
to experiment, In view Of the
dearth Of original. creative ef-
forts to help us understand
the world Of our times. ii
would seem that artists like
Mrs. Goldberg and those who
assist them in reaching the
public deserve more than toll
ersnce and sympathy: they
warrant honor and respect.

Boos for Senator Byrd

The Fairfax County rally for Adlai

rest Of the State.
Mr.. Stevenson himself took implicit
notice of this when he confined his re-
marks to matters of primary interest to
Federal workers, discreetly ignoring the
school d esegregation issue which is
threatening to tear the State apart The
political isolation of Northern Virginia
from the rest of the State became most
evident, however, when mention of Sena-
tor Byrd's name was roundly booed by the
crowd-without rebuke from anyone.
The booing started when a speaker
began to explain why the Virginia Sena-
tor was not present. After it had sub
sided he said Senator Byrd had sent his
best wishes, but could not attend because
of the critical illness of his wife. This
display of political bad manners was due
in part to the fact that Senator Byrd did
not support Mr.. Stevenson in 1852, when
the Democrats lost the State. But it also
reflects adeepening and hardening hoStil-
ity between the newcomers" who have
moved into Northern Virginia and Demo-
Gratis elsewhere in the State-a hostility
which arises out of a difference in poll
tical philosophy in general and such
things as school segregation in particular.
Mr. St9venSon'S chances of carrying Vir-
ginis -ook better this year, but he is not
going to be helped by such things as the
booing of Senator Byrd by his supporters.
