The country is becoming
more and more budget con-
scious-Federal budget. When
President Eisenhower last
month sent to the Congress his
$72.5-billion budget for the
next fiscal year there were
many "Ohs" and Abs" This
! was an unexpected boost in
Government appropriations and
spending-in peace time and
from a Republican President
who had promised economy.
Along with it came the un-
welcome news that no tax re
auctions are to be made. The
only bright spot was the fact
that the Federal budget had
been balanced" and that it
will be kept in balance, despite
the big increases in spending,
provided for in the budget.
There is no denying, however,
that the big budget brought
considerable dismay - partic-
ularly as peace still continues.
And the criticisms have come
from Republicans in many
parts Of the country. A big
budgetary increase from a
Democratic administration they
might have expected, they say,
but from a Republican Execu-
tive 1t does not make, sense to
them.
So the cry has gone UP on
Capitol Hill-from both Re-
publicans and Democrats
that the Eisenhower budget
must be cut. Senator Know
land Of California, Republican
leader of the Senate, has
demanded that a couple of
billions Of dollars be Topped of.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, who
for years fought big Govern
ment spending while his own
party. the Democratic, was in
charge Of the White House
and the executive branch of
the Government. contends the
appropriations for the next
fiscal year can be cut SIS bill
lion below the budget. The
Secretary Of the Treasury.
George Humphrey. has called
the budget too high, and Pres
ident Eisenhower, himself.
while defending the budget. has
strongly urged all departments
and agencies not to spend ali
the money, but to make BIZ
savings.
Factor for Initiation
The cost Of living has con.
tinued to go higher. Big Gov
ernment spending is infiation-
airy, though it is by no means
the sole cause Of the imitation
airy spiral in which the country
finds itself today. However.
1t is. in the minds of many,
concrete factor which can be
attacked.
Congress is the final arbiter
N this matter of Government
appropriations. The President
can recommend. and he can
veto congressional action and
make his veto stick unless by
a two-thirds vote Congress
overrides him. And one of the
toughest assignments Congress
ever confrontS is cutting APP
preparations and expenditures.
Every dollar cut from an APP
preparation seems to hurt some

OH-Street PARKING

Sometime ago an a end
ment to the District building
code was adopted with the OBJ
Jective of reducing the number
OF automobiles on streets in the
vicinity OF apartment houses
thereafter to be built. The
regulation contemplates that
garage space shall be made
available within such build
ings in q specified ratio to the
number of apartments.
The regulation has not ac-
complished the results its pro-
ponentS anticipated. And the
situation is becoming progress
slvely worse. A civic need for
corrective action prompts this
letter. The reason for the
failure of the regulation is sim
pie. Occupants of such build
ings cannot be forced to park
their cars in the spaces avail
able at the monthly rentals re-
quired. Witness. the contested
conditions prevailing in streets
IN the neighborhood of Con-
necticut avenue. sixteenth
street. and Massachusetts ave-
nue. from Idaho avenue to
Ward circle. OF course. the
problem becomes more acute
after the winter season when
many cars aged during
those months are put back on
the streets with the advent of
spring.
What is the solution? A pos
Sible answer is rent control of
such garage space through the
exercise OF the police power by
declaring the existence of an
emergency on the traffic streets
affected. In any event, the Dis
trict government should give
immediate consideration to the
problem and not be fooled into
granting further building per-
mits for new apartment house
construction with the stipula-
ton that a certain amount of
garage space be included in
CHE plans.

Foreign EntonqIements

In the Presidents February
20 Middle East message. he
stated: If the United Nations
once admits that international
disputes can be settled by using
force, then we will have de-
stroyed the very foundation
OF the organization. and our
best hope of establishing q real
world order" On the other
hand, the President has asked
Congress to indorse his pro-
posal to use United States
Armed Forces in the Middle
East, if necessary.
He proclaims a gospel against
the employment Of force as
an implement of sovereign
authority in one instance. Yet.
ne is the first to hasten to
propose and TO promote the
use Of armed force TO i'm
plement the resolutions of the
United Nations. ostensibly or
gained as an international
voluntary association of ma
tions.
1t seems appropriate to ask
II the real issue is the employ
ment Of force as the ultimate
test Of authority. Or, rather.
is it simply a question of
where that authority for the
employment Of force shall be
vested2
That these foreign entangle-
ments are but an extension of
our progressive departure from
individual strength and re-
sponsibility to reliance upon an
American adaptation Of the
MARKHAM theology is demon
strated by the chronological
sequence Of events over the
past half-century. This pattern
has developed on the domestic
front to the point that the
constitutional sovereignty of
the States of the Union over
their internal affairs is being
suspended by capricious Judi
cial decree. Some men are
being awarded civil rights"
at the expense of others who
are to be denied the right of
trial by jury and the right Of
freedom Of expression. The
Federal Government is about
to assume intra-State police
power in order to pursue in
terests in harmony with the
United Nations which the
President has Endorsed as "our
best hope for establishing a
real world order"
Has not the time arrived. if
we are the men and women
that we pride ourselves to be.
that we cease to insult the
memory OF our Founding
Fathers; that we cease to de-
grade the American tradition:
that We cease to deceive our
selves concerning our present
status? Let us face up to the
TACT that we are no longer in
dividually free. nor individually
responsible as individuals or as
Nation. Let us frankly admit
our national breech of faith
with the spiritual authority of
our forefathers that we may
proceed openly to our Just
rewards. AT least. the Brother
hood Of Man" could credit us

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The late Sigmund Freud's
efforts to rehabilitate the
dream as a living part Of the
day and night experience of
mankind has amounted to
nothing.
Most people, despite the
best efforts of psychoanalysis,
still think a dream is sound
and fury. signifying nothing
much.
They believe dreams result
from wrong eating. mostly,
and are caused by some sort
Of pressure on nerves.
Templeton Jones was rather
inclined to this theory until
recently. when he had a dream
which made him sit up and
take notice.
He awakened with a clear
picture of what had happened,
but he still doesn't know the
reason why.
Here is his dream:
He thought he was in a
Pullman car, a place he has
not been in many years.
Two Of his associates were
standing there.
One was a woman, a very
capable one.
Never underestimate the
hate of a woman.
For some reason or other,
this one hated Friend Jones.
The other standee was real
friend, over the years. tried and
true, but in this dream he was
nothing but a prop, a part OF
the picture, an aid in the
drama and the dream.
The Drama and the Dream!
A good title for a book, a
story, this story, indeed.

and the woman spoke.

Case Against Unions

John T. Bowling, interna-
tional secretary-treasurer and
editor, Commercial Telegra-
pliers Union Journal, has writ
ten defending organized labor
from responsibility for the
pyramiding cost of living. He
blames the record-breaking
excessive profit margins" re-
ported by the Nations lead
ing industries. Very piously
Mr.. Bowling affirrns it never
was the intent OF organized
labor to require the public to
pay for wage increases. Rather
1t was their noble purpose to
make industry disgorge their
infiationary profits. AS a help
less consumer facing the
double jeopardy of confisca-
tory taxes and the Unsuitable
demands of devil-take-the-
hindmost unionism. I am in
clined TO gasp: "A plague on
both your houses!"
I wonder il Mr.. Bowling
realizes what an irresponsible.
greedy and unconscionable
colossus modern unionism has
grown TO be. They have little
If any public accountability.
They possess such crushing
political power that even Con-
gress is impotent in demand
ing an accounting OF the
millions entrusted to their
tycoons. some of whom live
and spend like spoilsters.
When the national security
and survival are jeopardized by
strikes that bankrupt and
paralyze and impose economic
sanctions upon the innocent
and helpless, We have no re-
dress but the conscience and
whim of those who demand
total surrender to their brutal
power.
There Is a rem edy, but
neither the White House nor
Congress has the moral
courage to initiate or demand
its application. 1 mean to
treat irresponsible labor
unions, jeopardizing the Ma
tons security and survival
as criminal conspirators in re-
straint of trade, guilty of
violating the Sherman Anti.
trust Act. / believe this remedy
is legally feasible because as

forcing their ethical code were
ruled by the Supreme Court
to be subject to the disciplines

Chief Justice Hughes ex-
pressed the opinion that the
Sherman Act does apply to
labor unions. He held the i'm
munities given labor under
the Clayton Act were only with
respect to the lawfully carry
ing out" Of their Legitimate
objects" Surely paralyzing our
docks. our communication sys-
TENS and hiking the cost of
living certainly are not legi-
innate detectives. And if
they are not, predatory

unionism deserves the same

ionship with your children,

ciates Of their own age.
With greater experience, you
have much more to give to
marriage now than you did in

married previously.

bility = If it was satisfactory
before, it will be so now.
