Red China Ban:
Relaxed

For several years now, the right
of the people to be fully informed
has been qualified more and more.
The security restrictions blanket
ing huge areas of important m
formation have constantly in
creased despite the sometimes
bitter protests OF the Nations
press. But considerations of ma
tional security and of foreign
policy have in most cases pre-
vailed.
But in one significant situation
last week chink was opened in
the wall of restriction-in this
case, Chinese wall. Secretary
of State Dulles, heretofore adam
ant in his prohibition of Ameri-
can news coverage inside Red
China, reversed himself to a linn
tied extent. On Thursday the State
Department announced that "a
American newsgathering agencies.
selected after a poll of all such
organizations maintaining corre-
spondents overseas, would be per-
mitted to send reporters to Red
China on trial. six-month basis.
New factors" were cited by the
State Department in modifying
the ban, although persistent ques-
tioning by newsmen failed to
elicit just what these factors were.
But the Dulles switch was well
coined with cheers. whatever its
motivation. The Nations news
papers. news and opinion maya
zines, and radio newscasters have
long complained that one of the
worlds most important stories
was being brought to Americans
only piecemeal, and through the
not always objective reporting Of
foreign agencies and governments.
AS the week ended, there we're
already reporters in Hong Kong
waiting for Peiping's approval Of
their applications for visaS. If
and when the Chinese Communist
government grants them. the
newsmen will be of to Peiping
as fast as the Chinese railroads
can get them there. And in the
United States, reporters assigned
by their editors to the coveted
Red China beat" are packing
their bags hopefully. They are
also taking their own cameras,
for Mr.. Dulles did not relent
enough to permit photographers
in China at this time.

pend testing of nuclear weapons.
But what appeared on its face to
be a major concession to the Com
munist demand for a two-or-three
year ban on tests brought only
charges of "insincerity" from
Moscow.
The United States test-suspen-
sion proposal was again linked to
the requirement that manufac-
ture of nuclear weapons must also
cease for the duration of the sus-
pension. Additionally. a fool
proof" inspection system was to
be required. Moscow's unofficial
response was a fiat rejection-the
suspension of tests must be uncon.

cast declared. At the same time.
the tone Of articles appearing ia
the authoritative Soviet press
seemed to doom prospects of any
first step" accord. even a small
one.
What appears to have happened
at London is that the bid to come
out ahead in world public opinion
= the propaganda battle - has
come to have more meaning to
both sides than the desire to ar
rive at some first step" accord.
There was even tacit acceptance
of the deterioration of the confer
ence to the propaganda level, with
each side openly jockeying for the
best press"
The die-hard optimists who still
profeSSed to see some hope for
progress were clinging to the the

Whatever the reasons for the
treadmill at London, the arlna-
ments race itself was doing fine
last week. The Soviet Union ex-
ploded nuclear weapon of sub.
stantial" proportions on Thurs
day, the Atomic Energy Com
mission reported. Meanwhile, the
United States triggered the 18th
nuclear explosion of its 1857 series
on the Nevada desert.

Presidential Signal

Mr.. Eisenhower himself gave
the signal for breaking the Capitol
Hill deadlock on civil rights. At
his news conference Wednesday
he made it clear that he wanted
a bill at this session and, in effect,
served notice on the House Re-
publican leadership that he
wanted them to ease their
adamant position of demanding
the tough House bill or none at all.
And whether he had the
G. o. P.-Democratic tactical war
fare on the Hill in mind, Mr.. Eli
senhower asserted solemnly: Il
can't conceive of anything worse
than to making the basic right
Of so many millions Of our
citizens just a part of a political
snarling as to who is to blame for
this and who is TO get the credit
for that" ~. !,
Not long after the Eisenhower
press conference, Mr.. Martin, one
of the G. o. P. leaders who had
been insisting on an "all or Moth
ing" bin. announced Republican
compromise. This would have
allowed the judge in a criminal
contempt case involving voting
rights to refuse a jury trial. sub
ject to the fact that if he did so
he could not impose a subsequent
penalty Of more than 80 days in
jail or a fine Of more than $500.
The final compromise agreed to
by the leaders Of both parties
Friday provided that if the judge
elects to bar a jury trial and then
convicts the defendant and fines
him more than $500 or sends him
to jail for more than IS days, the
defendant can demand a jury and
have the case tried all over again.

the Dictator of Agriculture" has been
to make the corporations richer and
the producers of our new wealth
poorer.
We are near enough to an economic
dictatorship in this great land of free
enterprise. And if we reach the stage
of corporation farming, then we will
have political dictatorship as well.
In urging his listeners to resist long
time payment plans, Mr.. Benson. did
not add that, many years ago General
Motors organized a company controlled
finance company to further the pur-
chase of their commodities on the time
payment plan. And General Motors
with their capitalization of ten billion
dollars, seem to do all right. But what

For those honest folks who are
willing to admit-even if only to
themselves-tha they know very
little about labor unions, here is an
excellent primer. Like all primers,
it is simple, basic, and direct.
1t explains how collective bargain
ing works, why strikes happen and
how to prevent them, what union
responsibility means, fright to work"
laws, the guaranteed annual wage,
and what union members do as con-
sumers, as voters, as church-goers,
and as world citizens.
Myers and Ladder are both friends
of trade unionism, but they are no
apologists. They describe graft, cor
ruption. racketeering, and welfare
fund abuses in labor unions from the
same rational viewpoint that they
maintain throughout. Labor unions,
being very human institutions, wind
up as ready neither for sainthood nor
perdition.
Labor union members have never
been content simply with fatter pay
envelopes. They worked for public
schools 125 years ago-and they're
still at it. They've also learned that
higher prices can wipe out the big
gest wage settlement, so they've built

1t appears Moorhead Dam is right
where it's been long time-on dead
center-and that the Bureau may sell
some of the buildings put up in the
area when it appeared that the dam
was going to be built.
This wasn't meant to be anti-Wyo-
ming week in Washington. The Mon
tana delegation continues in it's fond
regard for Senator O'Mahoney and
his colleagues. But the Montanans
did all introduce legislation which
would forbid any state to collect sales
taxes in national park which was
created before the state entered the
union, and to the best of my knowl-
edge the only state and park affected
are Wyoming and Yellowstone.
This action of the delegation is in
line with a memorial to Congress
passed by the Montana legislature.

Murray had given the committee a
preliminary picture of the need for
development of the refuge. Surplus

Of the birth and the life we celebrate this
week. This Is the message Jesus left 70 the
world. Love is the theme Of all the carols
which hang now on the Christmas air.
When you recall the crises Of this trou-
bed year. consider how many have been
caused by hate. which IS the absence Of love.
Conversely, think how much good has
grown out Of the acts Of men who loved
their neiehboFs. But we cannot truly love
our neiehbor unless we love God too. For
love in this world IS simply seeking the
divine spark which is in everyone.
~ere we to understand this fully, our
whole life could change. For he who under
stands this will do his daily work not for
the sake Of gain or praise, but primarily for
his love Of God. Regardless Of what his job
may Be, he will then fulfill his task on earth
far better than before.
This is the message Of Christmas, mes
sage which can stay with us through the
year. II holds the key both to daily living
and to the political problems Of our ase.
For history now, as always. is in the last
analysis the struggle between good and evil
for the dominion Of the world.
think that If we really want to celebrate
Christmas, the one word, love, IS the word TO
remember, to think about - and to live BY.
