labor disputes are entitled to a
Jury trial even though the United
States is a party TO the action. Is
it not fair that we extend the same
right to local police, school board
members, and others. that we eX-
tend to labor leaders and members
Of labor unions?
What monstrous indictment it
is for the Government to say to
our people you are not qualified
to sit on iuries in civil rights cases
because you would not be fair In
the Free State of Maryland, in
criminal cases, our juries are
judges of the facts and the law.
But in this civil rights bill your
Federal Government is saying it
will not trust the people, it will
trust only its political appointccs
on the bench.
| am in favor of civil rights bill,
but do not believe we should
pass a measure which has in it a
provision which destroys the right
to a trial by jury.
During the debate in Federal
appropriations for schools in inn
pacted areas, l suggested that Con-
gress make a thorough study of the
question of Federal payments to
State and local governments in lieu
of taxes on federally owned install

introduced my bill providing for
such payments. An important point
in favor of my bill is that funds
would go directly into countys

no Federal control of specific scrv-
ices-such as schools, etc used by

Are We To Be Anesthetized?

Are We To Be Anesthetized?
With the regular monthly civilian
payroll nearly 81 billion-another
all-time record-one begins to COM
prehend the present dimension Of
Federal bureaucracy. Some 1890
507 persons are now employed by
the Federal Government This
socialist tendency has been inn
pervious to the best intentions of
contemporary times, and presently
seems even more malignant
Government today is system OF
wheels within wheels, wherein the
small and obscure wheels grind out
in great part the vast bulk of the
decisions and policies for which
the major and known wheels arc
ultimately responsible To make
their own positions more secure,
the small and obscure wheels
continually and eloqucntly urge an
enlargement Of government func-
tons. The alacrity with which these
recommendations are adopted by
the major and known wheels" sug-
gests that they have either been
mesmerized or that they lack the
stamina to resist the tide" There
in rests one of the major obstacles
to reduce the national budget
The erroneous idea of a big
centralized bureaucracy is not with
out devotees in and out of govern
ment A vocal minority of our
population are steadfastly dedi-
Gated to the great socialist revolu-
ton" They do not call themselves
socialists They are always 'libcr-
ais" and it is always in the name
of liberalism that they speak
and act But that these people are
socialists in disguise, is plainly re-
vealed by these basic assumptions
which they fervidly profess:
Government is good and to be eX-
banded, business is evil and too
rcgimentcd; labor unions are good,
employers are wicked; the Federal
Government is progressive, and
should increasingly supplant the
States which are regarded as obs0-
lete; public ownership is better
than private enterprise, which is
looked upon as selfish and corrupt;
wages are good. profits are sinful;
public welfare measures should re
place private charity: the eXecu-
tive branch of the Federal Govern
ment, and in particular the regula-
tory agencies thereof should be
given more power and wider dis
cretion. the Congress and the
Courts should be subordinate and
curtailed
Each of these assumptions have
their origins in socialism, the dan
gers of which were accurately eX-
pressed recently by Harold Mac
milan, Britain's Prime Minister
when he said: there is no
difference between socialism and
communism except this: Socialism
is soft, communism is hard; social
ism is pink, communism is red;
socialism gets you down bit by bit
by a kind of anesthctic process. 1t
might be called mercy-killing.
Communism just knocks you in the
head"

Get the Picture Into Focus

We think there is a great need now
to bring into sharp and proper focus the
nature and extent of the problem OF
underfed, perhaps starving, children in
Washington.
That should be one Of the prime
detectives of the investigation undertaken
by Senator Morse and his colleagues of
the Senate District Committee. 1t should
also be developed by the as yet incom-
plete investigation of the Welfare Depart
ment, ordered last year by Chairman
Rabaut of the House Subcommittee on
District Appropriations.
Mr.. Rabaut made passing reference
to this investigation during the hearings,
released today, on the District Appro-
priation bill. His implication, though the
supporting facts remain obscure, was that
administration of public welfare grants
for children in Washington was too
sharply restricted, in relation to practice
in other communities.
But we doubt that blanket liberaliza-
ton of relief regulations, including in
creases in cash allotments, is the real an
Swer to the problem which has taken
such appealing form in the picture Of
children starving amidst the plenty Of
this National Capital AFFECT poverty is,
of course, one factor. But parental ignor-
!ance and responsibility, with their ac-
IcomRanying degradation, rather than
llnavailability of food, are more apt to
be the real causes.
How to remedy that condition effec-
lively is more complicated problem than
the mere provision of more food, or the
increase of cash relief allowances. The
first requirement is undoubtedly an in
crease in welfare case workers to ascer-
tain and supervise the proper relief OF
those most in need. 1t will be interesting
to note, in the report of the House version
of the District Appropriation bill when
it becomes public this week, how far the
Rabaut committee has been willing to go
in that respect while following its own
mandate to reduce substantially the Dis
trict Building recommendations for high
er appropriations.

Touqh Case for Labor

We suppose that the boss teamSter,
Dave Beck, counts tomorroW'S AFL-CIO
executive council meeting among his
lesser headaches. For he has more painful
things to fret about than any action
which his union colleagues may take
against him.
There is nothing inconsequential,
however, about the headache which Mr..
Beck has given the AFL-CIO high COM
mand. Mr.. Beck is a vice president OF
the AFL-CIO and member of the eXecu-
tive council. Last January, with Mr.. Beck
as the sole disSenter, the council resolved
that all officials of the Federation should
freely and without reservation answer
all relevant questions asked by leg
islative committees and other public
bodies" seeking fairly and effectively to
eliminate corruption. Any union official
who invokes the Fifth Amendment in
such circumstances, said the council,
has no right to continue to hold office
In his union" Any union violating this
policy was to be called before the council
for proper action"-presumably expul-
sion, suspension or some other form of
discipline.
The Transfers Union probably is
the largest and most powerful in the
United States. 1t is very important unit
in the AFL-CIO Setup. But Dave Beck
and other union officers have invoked
the Fifth Amendment time and time
again in their appearances before the Nc
Clellan committee. The evidence Of mis-
use of union funds and Of links between
the union and racketeers is very strong
Obviously, especially in the light of the
recently adopted code OF ethics, some
disciplinary action by Mr.. Meany, Mr.
Reuther and the others is called for. 1t
may hurt them more than it hurts Dave
Beck, but this is no time to be spelling
the child.

1t was about seven weeks ago that
President Eisenhower named Harris Ellis
worth and Christopher Phillips to sue

Now Chairman Johnston has announced

No Sham Bottle

President Eisenhower has passed the
budget-reduction ball back to Congress.
In doing so, he has indicated that the
executive branch will strongly oppose
any deep cuts in defense and mutual
security spending and will make clear to
the Congress what programs, services
and obligations will be curtailed by re-
ducing other appropriations. There also
was an implication in his newS-confer-
ence discussion of the subject that the
administration intends to see that the
public is informed as to what 1t will lose
If domestic appropriations are cut and
who made the cuts
If this is fair Interpretation of the
Presidents comments, they foreShadow
showdown on the budget issue. For
while he Endorsed the principle of econ
omy in government and said again that
the administration is reviewing all pos
Sibilites for savings, he described this
budget as carefully and intelligently esti-
mated AS II in answer to some who have
demanded as much as SIS billion reduce
ton, he called it futile to talk about
cutting the budget severely If the United
AobdbCo 10 w ildlllJdlll DOolOlOIl Ill JIle
world and carry out domestic programs
that have been agreed upon to be
necessary"
AT this point, the temper on Capitol
Hill appears no less Arm. On the House
side, Republicans and Democrats alike
have attacked the budget in formal reso-
lutions and informal statements. They
have Joined also in cutting all the appro-
priation bills thus far handled, with the
big ones still to come. The Senate has
not reached the point of action, but
spokesman there for both parties have
talked in the same strong terms of max
ing some substantial cuts-wth foreign
aid most often mentioned as the target.
Coupled with this expressed determine
ton has been increased talk OF voting
tax relief, perhaps to be applicable next
January /.
II has been evident for weeks that
this is not a sham battle. But the lines
seemingly are being drawn harder with
every statement and action from the
opposite ends Of Pennsylvania avenue.

Beck and His Records

After reading your editorial
Mr.. Beck and His Records"
I began to think about labor
officials and how they have
drifted away from the princi-
piles set down by their founding
fathers nearly 80 years ago.
I'm sure Samuel Gompers
would be very displeased to
look in on the present situation
of labor Enthusiastically the
International Brotherhood of
Teamsters-and see that what
he had started as an effort to
help the working man has
been turned into conspiracy
against the very one he tried
to help.
Although labor unions should
be given credit for reducing
the burden of the working
man, they can quickly offset
all their good by promoting
the racketeer.
l believe that labor officials
should mend their ways and
recall to mind one of the
original detectives of the
knights of Labor-to rescue
the worker from the grip of
the selfish.

Norway Threatened

The President has said that the state
mentS of the Russians Tin Mr. Bulganin's
note to Norway are completely indie
feasible" and perhaps this is true. Ger
tainly the note, as blend of threat and
propaganda, is not couched in the Ian
guage which one ordinarily associates
with diplomatic exchanges.
Still, when the text of the note is
read carefully, there is nothing surpriS-
ing in it.
The threat, as we read the note, is
very much on the "iffy" side. What Mr..
Bulganin was saying is that If NATO
bases are established In Norway, and If
those bases are used in an attack on
Russia, then the Russians would be
forced to undertake the most energetic
measures in order to inflict a destructive
blow against the aggreSSor and also
against the bases which are located near
our borders
We should appraiSe this matter in
the light of what our own attitude would
be If the tables were turned Suppose
a Mexican government, allied with Rus
STA, were to permit the establishment
of bases just across the border from
which the Russians in event of war could
launch modern bombers and guided mis-
SileS against the United States. Ger
tainly our protest and warning, while
possibly phrased in more temperate Ian
guage, would nevertheless be prompt and
emphatic.
1t is to be expected that the Rus
slams will try by all means to discourage
the establishment of bases within range
OF the Russian homeland. Whether other
countries, such as Norway or Britain,
wish to permit such bases to be built is
matter for them to decide in the light
of what they deem to be their own de-
tense requirements. Certainly they have
every right to prepare their own defenses
and they should not allow themselves to
be inundated, but Russian reaction is
factor which must be taken into con-
sideration.
There is one paragraph in the Rus
sian note which we would like to believe
Is more significant than the threats. 1t
is this:
The Soviet Union has all that she
needs for achieving this aim (of internal
Developments vast territory, colossal
natural resources highly developed in
uustTy ana ACKNOWLEDGING all We wish
from others is that the Soviet people shall
not be hindered in their peaceful creative
work
There is so much in this that is true.
Russia is not under the same compul-
sion, arising from lack of resources,
which encouraged Germany and Japan
to embark on a course of aggression and
conquest. This fact, of course, is no guar
antee of Russia's peaceful intentions. But
1t is circumstance which makes for
peace, and which should not be over
looked while one is weighing threatful
words from a Bulganin or a KhruShchev.
