Buqqinq Incident

The resignation" of the Harris sub
committee aide who plugged" a hotel
room occupied by Bernard Goldfine's
public relations man was both neces-
sary and proper. A congressional COM
mittee which is investigating morality in
government can hardly afford even to
appear to condone such activity by one
of its own agents.
One may hope, however, that this
inquiry is not going to develop into a
you're-another affair. We doubt that
Mr.. Goldflne is so shocked by the bug
ging, or by the alleged theft Of some Of
his secretary's papers, that he cannot
bring himself to tell his whole story
to the subcommittee. And we trust that
the subcommittee will swallow its en-
barrassment and get on with its job.

Those Coco Mats

Back in the early part Of the season,
when the Washington Senators had
latched onto second place in the Ameri-
can League, some of their more enthu-
Siastic admirers were calling them the
go-go Mats.
Now it is July. The Mats are deep in
last place. And once again the voice Of
Calvin Griffith is being heard in our
land. But the birds are not singing, nor
do the flowers bloom. For Calvin speaks
in doleful tones. In fact, he speaks in
several voices. Only last January he was
saying that the Mats, as far as he was
concerned, would remain in Washington
forever" But forever, apparently, is not
for very long. At any rate, although with
considerable backing and filling, Calvin
has been limiting that the go-go Mats
are really going to go-to Minneapolis, or
to Houston, or to Toronto or perhaps to
some other place. And this at time
when the fans, despite the ball teams
miserable showing, have turned out some
$4,000 more paying customers than at
this date last year.
Running ball club is not our cup of
tea, and we do not claim to be able to
fathom the recesses of Calvin Grifhth's
mind. 1t seems rather obvious, however,
that it is not exactly a stroke of man
agerial genius for him to be trying to
win friends and influence the fans by
threatening to move the team to another
city. For our part, we think the Sem
ators should stay in Washington, and
we hope the American League statement
means that they will stay. We suggest
that the management should concen-
trate on putting a better team on the
field. If they will do this, the fans will
turn out to watch it play.

Strong for the West

The results of Sundays provincial
parliamentary election in North Rhine
westphalia add up to landslide vic
tory for Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
and his Christian Democratic Union.
More important still, the dimensions Of
the victory leave no room for doubt that
he and his Federal government at Bonn
enjoy the emphatic support Of the great
majority of the people Of West Germany,
especially as regards adherence to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization and
readiness for nuclear rearmament within
the framework and control of the
alliance.
This is clear from the nature of
the recent electioneering campaign in
North Rhine -Westphalia, which is a
state that embraces not only a rich
agricultural area, but also West Ger
many's greatest industrial region--a
region inhabited by some 80 per cent
of. the Federal republics total popula-
ton of so million. In the past, acting as
a coalition, the Socialists and the Free
Democrats have dominated the areas
Parliament. But now they have lost that
control, and they have lost it after hav-
ing sought to retain it on platform
advocating a kind of "neutralism" and
attacking Bonn for its unqualified at
tachment to NATO and its resolve to
equip its armed forces with atomic
weapons If those weapons should be
made available to 1t for NATO's common
defensive purposes.
Thus, just as in last September's
nationwide Bundestag elections, the
candidates of DR.. Adenauer's CDU,
scoring big gains in popular support,
have won an absolute majority in the
Parliament of North Rhine Westphalia.
In its own way, their triumph serves as
another powerful Endorsement of Bonn's
unwavering commitment to NATO and
the cause of freedom, and it speaks for
itself as measure of how the free
Germans refuse to be hoodwinked or
intimidated by Soviet cajolery or
threats designed to detach them from
the Atlantic alliance and render them
defenSeleSS through naturalization.
Accordingly, looked at in any light,
their latest vote should have a sobering
effect on Premier Khrushchev when he
talks with his puppets this week during
his visit to East Berlin.

Peace on the BRIDGES

For the first time in more than five
years, Washington is without a Potomac
River bridge controversy This is new
state of affairs, but it's wonderful.
Much more important than the
absence Of controversy, however, is the
fact that all apparent hurdles have
been cleared away from construction of
four new Potomac spans, which should
provide long-Suffering motorists with
total of II additional traffic lanes across
the river within the next few years.
Two of them, the six-lane Constitution
avenue bridge and four-lane replace
ment for the old treStle crossing at
Fourteenth street, will immeasurably
ease central area committing Snarls.
The other two, at Jones Point, Alexan-
dria, and Cabin John, Maryland, will
provide two-way bypass of the city as
part of the new circumferential high
way.

yelling deserves the lions share of
credit for Congress fast approval of the

Secretary Seaton, through his success
full campaign for a Constitution ave-
nue. bridge route north of the Lincoln
Memorial area, has proved that Federal
District conflicts can be resolved SenSibly
If there is a will to find solutions.
Unquestionably there win be new
controversies as needs develop for still

clouds already are on the horizon. But

South of the Border

It is with a comfortable, in-the-
family feeling that congratulations and
best wishes may be forwarded from the
United States to President-elect Adolfo
Lopez MateoS Of Mexico. AS expected,
Mr.. Lopez Mateos won the presidency
of our neighboring republic by an over
whelming margin in the general elec-
tionS on Sunday. At the same time, the
moderate Party of Revolutionary InSti-
tutions-to which Mr.. Lopez Mateos be-
longs-continued its unbroken 30-year
supremacy in Mexican politics by hold
ing easily its control of the Congress.
The new administration takes office for
a six-year term on December'1.
A lawyer by training and politician
by occupation, Mr.. Lopez Mateos has
been serving as Minister of Labor in the
administration of outgoing President
Confines. In that cabinet post he has
acquired a reputation as an able ad-
ministrator, conciliator in action and
a liberal In views. He has indicated no
major changes in government policy
during his successful campaign, and
has pronounced the continuance of his
country'S vigorous industrial expansion
as the number one objective of his ad-
lniniStratior. In that field, he has made
it clear that he welcomes the continued
investment of United States capital in
Mexico and that there need be no fears
about the political or economic relation
ship between the two countries.
Actually, the PRI has been a great
force for political stability in Mexico.
Civil rights are Scrupulously honored
and extremist movements of the right
or the left have found little on which
to build political causes. Mr.. Lopez
MateoS represents fully this middle-of-
the-road approach to political freedoms
and there is every reason to believe that
his country is facing another six years
of political tranquility and economic
good health.

Georqe Moson's S Role

Hal Boyle's July 4 feature
on the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence for some unac-
countable reason neglected
to mention George Mason's
name. It was he. q Virginian.
who first put into words in
the Virginia Declaration of
Rights" the thoughts and
feelings Of the time. It was
he who in the preamble of
this declaration declared
that call men are created
equally free and are endowed
by their Creator with certain
inherent rights, etc." This
declaration was signed by
the colonists at Williams
burg on June IL, 1776, and
thus this State became free
and independent without
waiting for the Fourth of
July. Jefferson was not even
present to sign, but he took
a copy up to Philadelphia
and there a couple of changes
were made, such as changing
the word "inherent" tn s'un-
alienable" and it is Jefferson,
who gets the lovely marble
temple here in our city. No
minutes were kept of the
committees consultations so
we cannot tell Just who con-
tributed what. We only know
it was Jefferson, who pre-
sented the final draft and
Mason was absent due to ILL

THE POLITICAL MILL
Alaska MIS- Hold Elections Aqoin
BY GOULD LINCOLN

constitution IN preparation
for statehood, has helped
push the long-delayed action
on the Alaska statehood bill
to completion.
It was a courageous gamble
and It paid of. Tennessee in
1896 was the first territory TO
elect its Senators in advance
Of admission to the Union by
act Of Congress. At that time
Andrew jackson. who later
was to become President OF
the United States, was a
young lawyer, a member Of
the constitutional convention
in Tennessee and was elect
ed Tennessee's first Com
gresham. Other territories
adopted the Tennessee plan"
to press successfully for
statehood. among them Cali
ifornia. Oregon, Michigan,
Iowa. Kansas and Minnesota.
California at the time 1t took
this step was not even a ter
ritory-it was an unorganized
military district. In each
case the drive for statehood
worked out. The members Of
Congress-elect, including the
Senators, were seated.
Not only does Alaska
have to hold a primary for
the nomination of candidates
for State and congressional
office, but 1t has to- vote on
the acceptance of all the
terms for statehood laid
down in the bill just passed
by Congress. The presumption
is that the Territory will hold
these two elections on the
same day, and that Gov.
Stepovich will arrange for
holding the elections in late
August or the first part of
September. 1t is essential, If
Alaska is to become a State,
that the people vote approval
Of statehood under the terms
of the enabling bill. Refusal
to accept any Of the terms
laid down would mean no
statehood at his time. Dele
gate Bartlett expresses every
confidence that the people
will accept statehood now. II
that happens. the general
election for Senators and
Congressman and Governor
must be held by December /,
Real Struggle Ahead
The Democratic majority
in the Senate today is as thin
as it can be. While party
leaders are talking confidently
about a big increase in the
number of Democratic Sem
ators in the November elec-
tions, they will not overlook
the possibility of picking up
two more Senate seats in
Alaska. Nor will the Repub-
licans, who are struggling
hard to hold their lines in the
upper house, neglect the
Alaska elections. The new
49th State. therefore, will get
of to real partisan political
struggle. AS in the older
States, the economic situa-
ton, whatever 1t may be late
this year, will affect the elec-

ADA Replies

The Star Of July 3 carried
a letter from Thomas B.
Quinn taking to task the To-
cal chapter of Americans for
Democratic Action for hold
ing a party which poked fun
at the dilemma of Mr.. Sher-
man Adams as a consequence
of his having received certain
embarrassing gifts from Mr..
Goldfine.
Quite aside from the COM
pletely ridiculous and not
worth-refuting inferences by
Mr.. Quinn that the ADA
somehow supports and en-
courages defamers of the
real American way of life,"
he Willingly or unwittingly
ignores the record even of
the last week Of ADA's oppo-
sition to irresponsible attacks
on Office holders-whether in
high or low places.
In a letter to Chairman
Harris of the House Special
Subcommittee on Legislative
Oversight (Which was re-
ported in The Star of July -,
Robert r. Nathan, national
chairman of ADA, and JOS
eph L. Rauh, Jr., vice chair
man Of ADA, describes the
action Of the committee
in giving Mr.. John Fox
IAN official national forum
for his reckless and irrespon-
sible charges" against Sher-
man Adams as reminiscent
of the worst aspects of Nc
Carthyism." The two national
officers of ADA said that just
as their organization had
condemned abuses Of the
legislative investigative proc
ess in the name Of national
security" so ADA now cons
demns such abuses in the
name of political morality.
We in ADA have no SYM
pathy for Mr.. Adams plight.
We regard his acceptance Of
gifts from a man in continu-
Gus governmental difficulties
as highly improper. But as
Mr.. Nathan and Mr.. Rauh
wrote to Chairman Harris,
ADA does not feel that the
fact "that Mr.. Adams has
thus been caught hypocriti-
cally violating his own
preachings" justifies turning
the committee proceedings
into a forum for wild accusa-
tions against him.
The national ADA has
urged that the House Com
mittee stop the political
spectacle in which it has
been engaged and turn
promptly to the constructive
task of preparing legislation
to prevent a recurrence Of
the type of misconduct al@
ready exposed.

The Kiwi-A

A significant advance toward a
nuclear- propelled rocket has Just been
announced by the Atomic Energy Com
mission. The advance has come in the
form Of a new experimental reactor
designed to test the feasibility of har-
Messing the atoms power for the pro-
pulSion Of missiles and other outer-space
vehicles.
Called the Kiwi-A, the name of the
flightless New Zealand bird, this reactor
is the first of its kind to be built in the
three-year- research and develop
ment program known as Project Rover.
AS its sobriquet implies, it is not some
thing that will itself fly or propel
rocket into space. Later this year, how
ever, 1t will start to. undergo a series
of ground tests in Nevada, and these
tests will be aimed at acquiring the
knowledge needed to produce an atomic
engine capable Of providing the sort of
propulsion that the scientists are seek
ing
AS authoritatively explained some
months age, actual flight tests of nu-
clear-powered rockets probably are
somewhat more distant than two or
three years from now But the experts
taking part in Project Rover, which is
being directed primarily by the Aces
Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, seem
to be completely confident that success
will be attained in due course. In other
words, they are convinced that the day
is coming-perhapS sooner than later
when atomic energy. rather than chem
ical fuels, will drive big missiles and
kindred instruments far into space.
If this prospect materializes, then
man will have a source Of power far
better than conventional propellantS for
such ventures as lunar probes and ex-
/ ploratory interplanetary flights. In that
respect, the adveat Of the Kiwi-A may

In a letter, Herman Wand
pleads the cause of the cab
drivers and at the same time
openly charges Congress for
the economic plight of the
local cab industry and the
drivers. He makes no bones
about implying that If Con-
gress would only give to the
P. U. C. the authority to limit
the number Of cabs that were
to be operated on the streets
OF Washington, plus of course
the installation Of taximeters,
everything would be fine in
the local taxicab industry.
For many years Congress
followed a hands-off policy
as far as the local taxicab in
dustry was concerned-that
is. with the exception Of the
power to limit the number
of cabs and the installation
Of taximeters. The p. u. C.
was the regulatory body. Dur
ing this period of time, the
cab industry reached its sat-
uration point. With only the
local administrators riding
herd on the local taxicab OPP
orators, the oHprators went
pig wild and hog crazy. Regu-
lations were disregarded, and
many Of them still are. Not
until Congress took a look at
the local cab industry did
things start to straighten out.
If Congress really looked into
the situation there would be
many of the local operators
who would take of for the
hills and equally as many
would have red faces.
Conditions for the drivers
have noticeably improved in
the last year, but the sale of
taxicabs has dropped of
quite sharply. This hurts the
cab companies that are prac-
tically all automobile dealers.
The so-called cab compa-
nies sold cabs to everyone in
any manner that they chose.
They paid no attention to the
laws and regulations. The To-
cal legitimate automobile
dealer was forced to sell his
cars In accordance with the
local title law, but the cab
companies were not.
Under this type sale 1t was
possible for the cab COM
panies to sell a cab, then re-
possess 1t and resell 1t as
many times as they pleased
or found necessary, and the
Federal and local govern
ments lost their share Of the
taxes that accompany such
transactions.
Now that Congress has
taken q hand in the local
taxicab situation, why not
have q committee dig into
the records Of every cab COM
pany In Washington and at
tempt to learn Just how
much taxes the local govern
ment and the Federal Gov
ernment have lost by permit
ting this type sale Of taxi
cabs7 And when this commit
tee has determined the esti-
mated amount Of taxes, then
make the cab companies pay
that amount Of taxes to both
the Federal and local gov
eTnments.

Quarrel on Cyprus

The letter of Mr.. Constan-
tinides In your issue Of June
80 is full Of falsiflcations,
innuendos and half truths
concerning the Cyprus prob
lem.
To mention a few: His con-
tention that 81 per cent Of
the land on Cyprus is owned
by Greeks is entirely false!
Even the most responsible
Greek government officials
have admitted that more than
half Of the land belongs to
the Turks, and have explained
this by saying that. for 800
years, the Turks had possess
sion Of the island.
In the same vein, it is un-
true to say that there are
422, 900 Greeks on Cyprus as
compared with $4,000 Turks.
Actually, the Greeks do not
exceed $4,000 (Greek speak
ing Cypriots), and there are
10000 Turks-who are an
extension Of the IS million
Turks on the mainland in
Turkey.
Perhaps Mr.. Constantinides
has sought to initiate the
Greek population by adding
the peoples Of other origins
such as Maronites and Ar
menianS.
Mr.. Constantinides, who
juggles figures so well, is also
mistaken in his contention
that the Cyprus problem Is
a simple problem of self
determination. Surely, Tur-
keys consideration involving
security and even survival
should weigh heavily in any
decisions involving the is
land. Even If it were con-
sidered as a problem involving
self-determtnationk I would
