He Led the Rebels
Mr.. De Valera led the uprising
which turned into civil war
against the Anglo-Irish treaty Of
1921 which gave Ulstermen the
right to choose whether or not to
join the newly created Irish Free
State. Three Of the nine original
Ulster counties joined.

ment) until 1926 when he changed
his tactics. He gained the premier

With power, he abolished the
Irish Free State and proclaimed
the new country Of Fire completely
independent but still within the
British commonwealth. Common
wealth ties were broken in 1949.
Mr.. De Valera still claims a ma
tionalist majority favoring union
exists in two of the six northern
counties-Tyrone and Fermanagh.
Parts of Northern Ireland, he says,
are being denied the right of self
determination. Dublin's mayor, in
recent speeches in the United
States, has said that he thinks four
counties would join the South II

Northern Ireland, whose is mil

q determination to fight any at

The Royal Ulster Constabulary

organized along military lines. And

The revival Of the IRA's nation

by growing unemployment in the

So far. the IRA has concentrated
on commando-style raids on Con-

military installations and blowing
up bridges and power stations.

NeutraliSm, a concept compare
lively new to international politics,
is today a major factor in the
East-West cold war. The nations
eSpousing it are finding that to-
gether they can WELD an i'm
portant influence in world affairs.
And as that influence expands, the
pressure on them from the two
great rival blocs increases.
A term devoid OF precise or legal
meaning, neutralism means, in
effect. 'nonalignment." 1t is not
neutrality. in the traditional sense,
but rather an abstaining, a refusal
to choose sides in the global rivalry
o. the Communist bloc and the
nations of the so-called "free
world"
Not unnaturally, the neutralist
nations have become the target of
much bitter criticism from the
committed" antagonists in the
cold war. On the theory. so bluntly
stated In an American labor con-
troversy OF the 10TH century, that
them that amt with us is against

attacked as essentially pro-Com-
munist by Western critics. From
the Communist side. outright at
tacks have been few. but every trick
and trade known to the Kremlin's
policy makers has been used 10 lure
the neutralists toward the Red
orbit.
The Survival Instinct
But neutralism. as a national
policy. is probably safe from the
charge that 1t favors. with any
consistency. one side or the other
In the cold war. Whatever a care
fully analysed balance sheet might
show, the fact remains that II Is
much more the product OF the
instinct for survival than a moral
position or even device OF
strategy.
For neutralism is clearly asso-
ciated with vulnerability. II is
practiced formally by new nations,
most Of them only yesterday re-
leased from the bonds of colonial
status, and eager TO build I'D a
national identity without becoming

There have, of course, been times
when few dollars was found to be

then. one Of the staff auditors may
drop in at any time unannounced.
And any would-be thief at the In
ternational level would surely be
called into account within six
months.
As one Machinist official put It:
The beauty Of our setup is. you
catch them quickly. But after all.
crooks win steal anywhere they

Teamsters, have had no question:

only when there has been proved

But 1t never keeps this status for
long. As soon as matters are put on
an even keel again. the interna-
tional steps out of the picture.
Only last fall. for instance, a San

District Commissioner David

Board of Education's request to
borrow $50 million for a five-year
school construction program.
At the same time. he called for

which would permit the Commits
sioners to take over much rou-
tine legislative and budgetary
work now done by Congress.
Mr.. Karrick also said there "is
reason to hope" Congress will
approve a proposed Constitu-
tional amendment which would
let District residents vote for
President and Vice President.
The job of getting such an
amendment ratified by 36 States

Although Gov. McKeldin will
not say so publicly. it is under

the job to Mr.. Addison. a con-

However. the post only pays
$1,000 a year now. The Repub-
lican governor proposed to raise
it to $4,000 in the budget that
he presented to the Legislature
Friday. but because of an error,
it came out in the budget with
only SAT- raise.
Budget Director James G.

in his department. He said the
Governor wanted the new $4,000
salary to begin with the new

Of Potomac River bridge draw
spans.
In letter to the board, the
New Mexico Senator requested
the city heads to cooperate with
the United States Bureau of

submit a report to the committee

The request, couched in cour-
teous language. grew out of a

stressed his long standing COM

He charged they we're more ex-
