1t Merits PASSAGE

The Senate now has before 1t for a
second time the HouSe-passed bill to
liberalize retirement BENEFITS for local
policemen and flremen. When the bill
first came up on the floor, Senator Will
liamS of Delaware raised a question as
to whether the retirement plan was out
of line with the Federal retirement sys-
tenn The bill was sent back to the SEN
ate District Committee for a report on
this angle. The committee has reported
back that the proposed BENEFITS are in
line with Federal retirement privileges
for employees in law enforcement work
and with police retirement systems in
general. The report ought to satisfy
Senator Williams on the point he raised.
The legislation clearly is in the interest
OF improved police and fire services in
Washington and merits passage now.

Tokyo, Peiping and Trade

Japan has done the expected thing
In deciding to eliminate large part Of
It's restrictions on trade with Red China.
The relaxation, which involves the same
standards as apply to Russia and other
countries behind the Iron Curtain, and
which covers all goods that have no
direct warmaking potential is identical
In detail with the one recently an
nounced by Britain despite American
efforts to prevent 1t.
From the domestic political stand
point, this japanese action will help to
enhance the popularity Of Premier
KiShi'S Liberal-Democrati government.
BY the same token, it will deprive the
Socialist opposition of one of its chief
campaign issues. What remains to be
seen, however, is whether the relaxation
will actually result in any appreciate
economic gains. Most businessmen In
Tokyo apparently regard the move as in
consequential in that sense, but an opti-
mistic minority feels that 1t may have
the effect Of doubling Japan's present
volume Of trade with China.
In any event, although our own
country is still maintaining total COM
mercial embargo against Peiping, the
KiShi governments decision reflects
mounting pressures in Japan-which is
Sorely in need Of export markets-for
an effort to do profitable business with
the Chinese Communists. The effort

Familiar Technique

Another odious example of how
Communists operate can be found in
Ceylon. r. s. S. Gunewardene. that
country's able Ambassador to the United
States and its representative at the
United Nations, was a member of the
General Assembly's f1ve-power investi-
eating committee whose final report
last month unanimously condemned the
Soviet Union for its crime against
Hungary. Typically enough, since the
reports issuance the Kremlin's propa-
gandists have virulently attacked the
committee as tool of Western "impe-
rialism." In reply, Mr.. Gunewardene,
an honest and fortnight man, has
stated simple fact-namely, that the
attack has been compounded of nothing
but malicious and monumental lies in
Sulting alike to ones individual intell-
gence and to the U. N. as a whole.
Like their comrades elsewhere. how
ever, the Ceylonese Communists refuse
to let fact interfere with the party
line. Being far more loyal to Moscow
than to the truth, they have unleashed
an about campaign of harsh criticism
against Mr.. Gunewardene. Together
with their fellow-travelers throughout
the country, they have set out-some Of
them within governmental circles-to
put an end to his career at the U. NJ, II
not also to his career as ambassador.
To that end, they have reSorted to the
worst kind of misrepresentation and
distortion. This is the familiar Red
totalitarian technique. One can only
hope that the people of Ceylon will
see through 1t lest 1t succeed in rob-
bing them Of Mr.. Gunewardenes good
services. 4

Man in Notion

Acquittal of James r. Hoffa, Team
sterS Union vice president, on charges Of
bribery and conspiracy in connection
with the Mcclellan committee investi-
cation was at least consistent with his
personal record. Mr.. Hoffa has been on
the brink of trouble innumerable times
before-from congressional inquiries to
local arrests for picketing Violations
without ever really being slowed down
more than briefly Whatever the pre-
else reasoning of the jury in this case,
there are grounds for believing that
the defense contention of entrapment
played large part in winning the union
leader the benef1t of favorable doubt.
BY his associates, Mr.. Hoffa often is
described as "the man in motion" His
tentative schedule for the near future
indicates that the description will con-
tinue to At. He is planning to meet
with Teamster friends" IN few DAYS
to decide whether he will seek the presi-
dency OF the big union. Dave Beck,
whose troubles appear to have slowed
him down more permanently, has an
nounced he will not run for reelection
In September. Very likely, if Mr. Hotfa
wants the job he can have it. If he gets
1t, he may still be in fight with the
AFL-CIO leadership over its demands
that the Transfers "clean up" their
union affairs. Mr.. Hoffa also is under
indictment in New York for overlapping
and there is expectation that he also
will be called eventually before the
Mcclellan committee. Senator Ives, New
York Republican and committee mem
Der, says that Mr.. Hoffa's troubles ARE
far from ended"
In any case, there is considerable
unfinished business still ahead for Mr..
Hoffa-most Of it likewise on the ia
miliar brink.

Ignoring the Nearer Evil

Should Congress reaff1rm and
strengthen voting rights without
weakening in that process other great
rights, such an act would make more
1ndefenSible than ever continued denial
OF the vote to residents of the Capital
Of the United States.
There is little doubt that by one
means or another great numbers of
people are denied the right to vote in
some of the Southern States because
they are Negroes. 1t is also true that
residents of Washington, regardless Of
race, creed or color, whose number ex-
ceeds the population of any one of IL
States, are denied all voting rights be-
cause they happen to live in the little
area of the District of Columbia.
Throughout the historic debate on
the civil rights BILL the Senate chamber
has rung with repeated declarations up
holding the sanctity Of voting rights as
the bulwark of free Society-with par
ticular reference to the evil, which it is,
OF denying that right on the basis of
creed or color Not once has a Senator
AAAON0 AAAo NOANC III VI ULlC
evil of disfranchisement of Americans
on the basis of their residence in the
Nations Capital There are historical
reasons for the denial in both cases.
Such reasons do not condone in either
case, however, the continued federation
Of an existing wrong.
A law may help, but with or without
a law, time and the changes 1t works
in mems thinking will guarantee the
vote to Southern Negroes, an increasing
number of whom vote now with the sup
port and encouragement of their white
fellow citizens. But congressional &C
ton is an unavoidable necessity If the
right to vote is extended to residents
OF the American Capital A fraction of
the political preSsures, and admins
tration leadership, present in the civil
rights issue would produce such action.
Without such spurs, voting rights here,
with representation in Congress, includ-
Ing the Senate, remain unattainable.
BY voting rights, of course, we mean
real voting rightS-not the pallid bur-
leSque of voting rights incorrectly labeled
home rule"

1t is shocking that any,
one should criticize the opin-
ions of the Chief Justice. or
the vigor with which the Vice
President, Senator Knowland
and others of the congress
sional delegation from Cali
fornia are fighting to enact
the civil rights bill for the
protection of the Negro mi
nority in the South. They
are acting in the liberal and
humanitarian traditions of
California. Who can forget
the calm but relentless battle
waged by the people of that
great State for so many years
to maintain and defend the
civil and legal rights of their
own Japanese minority?

Sofety Councils Aim

You carried a letter re-
Gently from "C.D.E.", who
seems to be a little unhappy
about the National Safety
Councils estimates OF holi-
day traffic deaths.
Without going into the de-
tails or trying to bring
"CD.E." UP to date on a half
dozen points about which ne
apparently is misinformed.
I'd like TO try to comfort him
by assuring him that:
The council does give the
non-holiday toll for each
holiday. so that the difference
between the non-holiday toll
and the holiday toll is OBJ
vious.
The National Safety Coun-
Gil never has suggested that
anyone stay Of the highways
over the holiday period. 1t
merely points out that in
creased holiday travel brings
increased hazards that should
be met with increased care,
common sense and courtesy.
Our only aim is to prevent
accidents, on the holidays and
every day, and to save lives.
II that's q crime. the Ma
tional Safety Council pleads
guilty TO II!

Equal Justice

Equal Justice Under Law"
is inscribed over the entrance
to the Supreme Court of the
United States. In view of
that courts decision in the
Mallory case. one is prompted
to ask, Equal justice for
whom"
Certainly there was no
justice for the innocent VIC
tim Of the rapist's attack.
There is no indication that
she received any considera-
ton from the court whatever.
There was no justice for the
public, for a convicted rapist
is unpublished and is now free
to roam among them at will.
II there was any justice at
all 1t was for the criminal
only, whom the courts deci-
sion freed on a technicality.
This was done TO preserve
our individual liberties. +"
Thus our courts continue to
preserve our individual liber-
ties by preserving our Grim
inals. Thus our courts con-
tinue to hamstring our police
in their war on crime: so
crime continues to march on.
II there is disrespect for
law and the courts. the NAL
Tory case shows the reason
for II.

coverage Of the civil rights
controversy.
Protest is termed emotion.
A careful look into a bill that
provides for the possibility of
Federal troops beins sent
into a region could hardly
help but result in some pro-
test. particularly from an
area that lived through Re-
construction.
While this has been called
the age of conformity. of be-
longing to "the team" of dy-
manic conservatism and con-
sentative dynamism, of mon
otone delivery and Of the
Unconditional approach to ma
tional affairs, it is interesting
to note that a realistic, legal
approach to the questions
raised by the civil rights bill
is called emotional"
