questionable. If the water passes

practice to drink any such water
without some knowledge of its

water from a well is safe to

many years. Such thinking is
dangerous, in the sense that con-
ditions surrounding a well or
spring might change. To illus

permit polluted water to enter

Water may, however, contain
many bacteria and still not be

legislature makes provision for
this seldom thought of aspect of
safety including tuberculosis.
Item 2, if regulation 305 of the
law states when the board of
health determines that x-ray
facilities are reasonably avail
able, it shall require periodic
chest x-rays of all employees.
"In Noble county permanent
x-ray facilities have been avail
able for many years. Therefore
in accordance with the regula-
ton, the Noble county board of
health requires an annual chest
x-ray for each person engaged in
food service.
"The board of health feels
that this is a doubly protective
requirement. 1t protects the in
dividual who eats out and it
protects the worker himself by
detecting his disease in an early,
treatable stage This double pro-
lection can be reliably obtained
only by the evidence of the
x-ray. Many people who have
early tuberculosis look well and
feel well so that neither they nor
those whom they serve can trust
the evidence of their own obser-
vations."

The importance of a pure
water supply and that of x-ray
films to detect tuberculosis were
discussed at some length by Mr.,
Egbert. His findings on the i'm
portance of the TB x-rays clinics
as it pertains to food handlers
are as follows:
Tuberculosis is a communic-
able disease caused by a micros-
copically small bacteria. 1t is
passed from person to person by
direct contact and indirectly on
food or other objects con-
taminated by those infected. In
addition, tuberculosis which has
been unrecognized for too long
becomes a disease requiring a
long period of treatment.
Truly, neither employee nor
patron would wish to be pres
ented with the necessity for
battling with tuberculosis. Yet
this type of exposure does occur
and right in our own county.

Civil Rights Advance

The argument put forward in support
of the Senate move to put the civil rights
bill on the calendar without reference to
the Judiciary Committee is that this
committee year after year has been the
burial ground of civil rights legislation.
This maneuver, ratified by vote Of
As to 80, was opposed by such unimpeach-
able civil rights advocates as Senators
Morse, Kennedy and Kefauver on the
ground that it was resort to expediency
which would come back to plague the
Senate. Such a view on the question,
coming from these Senators, carries much
weight. But the undoubted fact is that
the bill, had it been referred to the judi
ciary Committee, would have been buried
there unless the votes could be mustered
to discharge the committee.
We think that the controlling prin-
ciple is that proposed legislation, should
be brought before the Senate and
voted up or down on its merits. The
tactic of committee interment is wholly
wrong, and it is our belief that the Senate
has chosen what is at least the lesser evil
in voting to bypass Senator Eastland's
committee and put the bill on the CAL
endar.

citation to the people Of Wash

the 1857 Cancer Crusade in
the District of Columbia.
Your help to us. especially in
publicizing the neighborhood

important factor In the out

Even more important to us
than the fact that we exceeded
our goal is that more persons

themselves control cancer.
The more than 100000 al

Questions for Moscow

Why has the Soviet Union supplied
Egypt with three submarines? Are these
vessels designed to help President Nasser
promote the peace and economic we'll
being Of his poverty ridden countrymen?
VIII they be useful to him in any efforts
he may undertake to build the Aswan
High Dam? Or are they more suited
for action against Israeli shipping in the
Gulf of Aqaba? Does Mr.. Khrushchev
think they will serve to ease tensions in
the Middle East? Does he feel they will
promote the cause of mutual understand
ing and mutual security in the world?
Does he suppose they will somehow i'm
prove the outlook for disarmament?
These are questions that need to be
asked and answered. Meanwhile, as one
pauses for replies, 1t is interesting, and
maybe even instructive, to null over
the fact that the Kremlin has consum-
mated this potentially dangerous deal
at time when Soviet propaganda is
heavily emphasizing the virtues of inter-
national friendlinesS, an exchange Of
smiles, reciprocal trust, cutback on all
types of ornaments, and peaceful cock
istence in every corner of the globe. Is
the Middle East corner to be excepted?
Do submarines have only a dovelike
meaning there? And how does Moscow
reconcile them with its November vote
supporting the United Nations call for
cessation of military shipments to that
part Of the world? We still pause for
replies.

Ecuador and Slavery

This is with reference to the
article published in the June
8 edition Of This Week
Magazine, entitled THE
Shocking Truth About Slav-
cry Today" quoting Lord Win
ster Of the British House Of
Lords as stating that in b.
livia. Ecuador and Peru are
Eight million people under
the peonage system. which is
q form Of slavery"
I emphatically deny that
statement. since in Ecuador
there has been no slavery or
any sort Of discrimination since
the middle Of the nineteenth
century. AS a matter of fact
the Ecuadorian Constitution Of
April 8, 1878. recognized those
deeds and stated that "in the
Republic Of Ecuador there are
not and there will be not
slaves" Furthermore, Article
l6 Of said Constitution reads:
THE Ecuadorian nation rec
ognizes the human rights as
the foundation and object Of
the social institutions" Every
body. nations and foreigners
as well. are equal before the
law and only the law-the
same one for everybody-is
the exclusive pattern for the
judgments. So, my country is
proud Of the freedom our
people enjoy now and long be-
fore Lord Winster was born
with no discrimination at all.

For Orderly Budgeting

In passing the Kennedy budget
reform bill, the Senate has given its sup
port to what has been regarded as the
most important Hoover Commission rec
concentration still requiring legislation.
The bill would put the Government on an
accrual system Of budgeting and account
ing that would give Congress firmer con-
troll OF Federal spending and that, 1t Is
estimated, could save up to 81 billion a
year in nonessential expenditures.
Federal budgeting and accounting
procedures not only battle the ordinary
citizens, they baffied competent task
force" which studied them for the Hoover
group. The study revealed that 1t was
virtually impossible to list what the Gov
eminent owned and how much it owed.
The Kennedy bill, among other changes,
would substantially reduce the carry
overs OF unexpended appropriations from
year to year, thereby putting the Govern
ment on an annual expenditures basis.
The appropriation carry-overs run into
billions OF dollars year, with Congress
confused as to the amounts involved and
without control Of the leftover funds,
once the money has been voted.
The commission pointed out that OBJ
ligational authority relating to long lead
time programs may be exercised over
several years, with resulting expenditures
continually removed from the particular
fiscal year under consideration by the
budget makers. The Budget Bureau, for
example, reported that in 1853 1881 bill

Military Crimes

The much-disputed Status
Of Forces Treaties seem to
raise one fundamental issue:
Traditional international
practice was that military
forces in a foreign nation at
the invitation of that nation
should administer justice to
their own personnel based on
the laws and regulations Of
their own country.
If, after years of friendly and
generous treatment by the
United States, a nation re-
mains unwilling to receive
American forces under this
traditional practice. then that
nation is not a sufficiently re-
liable ally to provide a depend
able base for our forces in
event Of a showdown. Ameri-
can security would best be
served by removal Of our
forces from an area Of this
sort.

THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
Civil Rights Foes Beaten at Own Come


BY q strategic move on the
part Of its supporters the ad-
ministration's civil rights bill
is on the Senate calendar.
Bottled UP for weeks and
months in the Senate Judici-
airy Committee through the
efforts Of Chairman Eastland
Of Mississippi, Senator Erwin
Of North Carolina and others,
the measure seemed destined
for q long silence. However,
the supporters Of the bill
found 1t possible to do Just
what the Senate Democrats in
the South have done effec-
tually for years - used the
Senate rules themselves to pro-
mote their cause. The South
ern Democrats have exercised
the privilege Of unlimited de-
bate. provided by the Senate
rules-in other words the fili-
buster-to prevent action on
any civil rights legislation.
They have felt that the end
justified the means. The end
in this case was the prevention
Of civil rights legislation. The
supporters of civil rights legis-
lation have contended that
the Southern Democrats have
pursued an unjustified course,
to prevent q Senate majority
from exercising a right. In
other words. striking directly
at majority rule.
When Senator Knowland Of
California. Republican leader
Of the upper house, and Sena-
tor Humphrey Of Minnesota,
liberal Democrat, united to
force the House-passed civil
rights bill to the Senate calen-
dar without. its reference to
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, they grabbed hold Of q
rarely used Senate rule. I'M
mediately there were loud
complaints from the Southern
Democrats that this was a low
trick. They were Joined by
some Of the liberal Democrats
of the North and by q few
Republicans in their denuncia-
tions In this case, however,
it appears chat the proponents
of civil rights legislation, de-
signed to assure Negroes the
franchise in the South, were
justified. In a measure, they
may be said to have used fire
to fight FIRE.

proposal. which sent the civil
rights bill to the Senate calen-
dar directly as it passed the

Knowland was sustained by a
vote of IS to 80. But in this
vote the Republicans played
the major part for a civil rights
victory. Ninety-two members
Of the Senate were recorded
either as voting, as paired, or
as having announced support
of or opposition to the point of
order made against the Know
land proposal by Senator
Russell Of Georgia. OF these, 81

along with Knowland and the

very limited. Why not acquire
the small vacant brick building
back of the cottage for wash
rooms, a postcard salesroom

When it comes to a truthful

Bohrein and BeIoroye

Sir Charles Belgrave, adj
wiser to the government of
Bahrein, will soon retire after
more than 81 years Of service
to the Bahrein. Since 1926
he has seen that small prin-
cipality emerge from obscurity
and become one of the most
forward looking Of the Per-
sian Gulf states. Sir Charles
has played an important part
in the development Of Bahrein.
In the mid-twenties. Bah
rein was not an attractive
place. Disease, poverty, and
lack of sanitation were all
too apparent. The one school
could not hope to cope with
illiteracy, nor could the mea-
ger hospital facilities hope to
stem the inroads Of diseases.
Fortunately, the then ruler,
Shaikh Hamad ibn Al-Khali-
fab, recognized the situation
for what 1t was. He had fallen
heir to years Of misrule which
threatened the future Of Bah
rein. In 1925 he placed an
advertisement in the personal
column Of the London Times
Wanted. A young gentleman
for service in an Eastern state"
Belgrave answered the ad.
A warm friendship sprang
up between the ruler and his
young adviser and through
their united efforts order was
gradually introduced into Bah
reini affairs. Within a few
years an accounting system
and budgetary procedures had
been adopted and the state
was living within its meager
means. The police force was
reorganized and lawlessness
diminished.
Since 1884, due to its oil,
the government Of Bahrein
has been relatively free Of
financial worry.
{ At the end Of 1856. there
were Al schools in Bahrein
with more than $4,000 pupils.
There were also seven hos
pitfalls and IA clinics. Today.
Bahrein is far removed from
the pestilence Of the early
twenties. Electricity has come
to Bahrein and power Is now
being extended to remote viii
lagos. Adequate water systems
now serve the cities and SAM
tary measures have long been
regarded as commonplace. The
fact that Bahrein has been
able to survive its growing
pains" is an indication Of its
stability In an area Of unrest.
