Come Home, Mr.. Beck!

Secretary of Labor Mitchell is fol-
lowing the only proper course in
deciding not to nominate Dave Beck,
president Of the Transfers Union, as a
United States delegate to the Inland
Transport Committee meetings In Ham
burg. Mr.. Beck's union has been under
heavy fire before the Mcclellan commit
tee. Mr.. Beck was invited to appear
before the committee in January but
wired from Seattle that he could not
for reasons OF health. He then attended
labor meeting in Miami Beach and was
asked to appear before the committee
In early February. Instead, he went to
Europe and informed the committee he
would be there until after the Hamburg
meetings scheduled later this month.
Mr.. Mitchell has made his decision
after comforting with Senator Mcclellan,
a decision which removes one Of Mr..
Becks excuses for his failure to appear
before the committee. Under all the
circumstances, 1t would be singularly
inappropriate for Mr. Beck to be an
official representative Of our Government
and Of the American labor movement
at Hamburg Or elsewhere while his own
union and his own behavior are under
cloud.

This is significant day in the his

marks It's rebirth In independence. Gen.
turtles ago there was a free nation of
Ghana on that rich and temperate shore
OF the dark continent. In the hundreds
OF years between, it has seen the Euro
pean trading nations-first the Portu-
guese, then the Dutch and finally the
English-settle their ways and their rule
upon the Negro population that had
proud inheritance of its own.
1t is a high tribute to this population
and its instincts for orderly self-rule
that 1t assumes independence again to-
day, we'll prepared to administer its own
affairs and with a clear understanding
Of problems besetting the world far be-
yond Its own borders. 1t is a tribute,
too, to craftsmanship In London that
this process has been encouraged and
assisted In the past decade. BY It's own
choice, Ghana today has taken It's place
as one Of the sovereign states within the
family of the British Commonwealth. It
has both human and material resources

development OF It's indigenous culture

Good Sense Prevails

After all the sound and fury, only 10
Senator's voted against the Eisenhower
Middle East doctrine as it completed its
tortured journey through the Senate yes
terday. Add the names of three who were
recorded as opposed, and the tally stands
~ against and "a in favor of this bid to
save one of the crucial areas of the
world.
The Republican opposition was con-
fned to the far right-SenatorS Jenner,
Mccarthy, Malone and LANCER. Lined up
with them were such Democratic names
as Kefauver, Morse, O'Mahoney and Full
bright. 1t is not easy to account for such
an implauSible combination, and, for
tunately, it is not necessary. What mat
tiers is that the doctrine now has received
overwhelming Endorsement, and those
Senators who are iSolationiStS at heart,
who do not want to spend the money, or
who are blindly "agin the administra-
tion,' have not been able to represent
America as being significantly divided in
this vital matter
AS soon as minor differences between
the Senate and House versions have been
reconciled, this doctrine will be put to the
test. How successful it will be, or whether
1t will be successful at all, is uncertain.
1t provides clear warning, however,
against Communist aggression, and it
makes possible some effort to improve
the economic and military status of the
Middle East countries This certainly is
Infinitely preferable to a do-nothing pol
icy, policy of letting nature take its
course while the Middle East drifts-into
the arms of Russia.
