Disputed Quotes

In reporting the April IL
meeting of the Regular Re-
publicans of Montgomery
County, The Star misquoted
me. I did not say that the
rebel faction, the United Re-
publicans. were five or ten
people" I said that organi-
cation had been the brain
child Of five or ten people. I
went on to say that there are
now two groups active in this
faction-one which aims to
control the G.. o. P. organiza.
ton in the county, the other,
largely Young Republicans,
which seeks to invigorate the
party; and that the former
group is in firm control.
I did not say that some
[candidatesl who submitted
their qualifications we're
never considered" by the URs.
/ said that the UR claim that
1t had interviewed" appli-
cants for its Endorsement is
incorrect and that the writ
ten applications of some can
didates had not been consid-
cred by the UR's steering
committee when selections
were made.
These are minor matters.

New Jersey Showdown

Both Republican and Democratic
Parties in New Jersey have chosen vote
getters of proved strength to run for a
United States Senate seat this fall. The
G. o. P. choice is Representative Robert
w. Kean, high-ranking and influential
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, who has served in Congress since
1889. His Democratic opponent will be
former Representative Harrison A. Will
liamS, jr., twice member of the House,
who lost his seat in 1856 by only 1000
votes while the national Republican
ticket was sweeping his district by
nearly 10000 plurality.
Actually, the party primaries and
the forthcoming campaign have political
implications of interest to much more
thansNew Jersey alone. Mr.. Kean is
generally identified with the moderately
progressive wing of his party, modern
Republican" who is recognized as an
authority on social security legislation
and consistently has favored liberaliza-
ton OF the system. He is the sponsor
this year of the administrations bill to
extend the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act although some Of New Jerseys in
dustrial community leans toward the
protectionist trend. Although his prin-
cipal opponent for the Republican nomi-
nation was Bernard M. Stanley, former
appointments secretary to President Eli
senhower, Mr.. Kean's full identification
with administration policies will provide
a significant test of the 1858 popularity
OF these policies in an important State.
On the other side, Mr.. Williams
showing in November also will shed
additional light on the political power
of Democratic Governor Robert B. Mey-
ner, often mentioned as possible 1860
presidential nominee. Governor Meyner
"handpicked" Mr.. Williams, campaigned
for him and defied the strong Hudson
County Democratic organization in max
ing his choice stick. At this point, the
Governors control of the State party
machinery Is stronger than ever. If Mr..
Williams wins in November there will
be no influential Democratic voice in
New Jersey to challenge Mr.. Meyners
party leadership in the State.

Doomed Bill

senator McClellan'S labor reform
bill is one of those legislative blossoms
that are doomed to waste their sweet
ness on the desert air of this con-
greSSional session. The Senator from
Arkansas, we suppose, knows this only
too well.
Even so, the gesture is not wholly
an empty one. If any labor legislation
reaches the floor, Senator Mcclellan may
be able to offer bis bill as an amendment
and thereby get vote on it. There is
no chance, however, that it will pass
not because 1t is bad bill, but because
1t is good bill in the sense that it would
inject some real and needed reform into
union and management practices.
Senator Mcclellan insists that the
bill is not punitive or oppressive to
unions, but is designed to protect the
rights and liberties of union members
especially from infiltration of unions
by racketeers and gangSterS. We think
that this is true. But the point that
this may be true will not count for much
against the political power of union
leaders who have the arrogance to say
that the Mcclellan committee is ION
probation" in their eyes, even though
as matter of grace they are willing to
wait and see" how the committee con-
ducts itself in the future
One would think that effrontery
such as this might move the Senate to
action. But If the Senate will not be
moved by the committees disclosures Of
outrageous union abuses, it will not be
moved by these patronizing comments.
So the outlook for any corrective legis-
lation is very dim, and Senator McClel-
lan's bill was as good as dead when
he dropped it in the hopper. Nothing
effective will be done until the public
demands congressional action, and the
public is not demanding it now.

Threatened Doctor

We don't suppose that Judge Hol-
tzoff really intended to send DR.. Over
holSer to the hooSegow, but maybe he
did. One can never tell about judges
or about pSychiatriStS either, for that
matter.
In any event, we are glad that this
threat to our good friend, DR.. Overhol-
ser, has been lifted. For we are accus-
toned to seeing him at st. Elizabeths
Hospital. 1t would seem strange to have
to seek him out at the District Jail.
Actually, however, this is not jok-
ing matter. 1t is serious situation.
Judge Holtzoff, having found two priS-
oners mentally unfit to stand trial, had
ordered them committed to st. Eliza
beths, as he is required by law to do. But
ST. Elizabeths is already overcrowded,
and there is waiting list" of some IS
other people who have been adjudged
mentally incompetent. They are in Jail
and DR.. OverholSer thought they should
come ahead of the two men whose COM
mitment was ordered earlier this month
by the judge. So DR.. OverholSer failed,
declined or refuSed-depending upon
whose Interpretation one acceptS-to
admit the two men committed by Judge
Holtzoff.
This prompted the judge to instruct
the United States attorney to initiate
contempt of court proceedings against
DR.. OverholSer. And this, in turn,
prompted change of mind on DR.. Over
holSer'S part. He has said he will take
the pair, but that he would have to
Jump them over the heads of others
who are probably in equal need of care"
In his hospital.
Presumably, this will end the con-
tempt proceedings. But it does not solve
the problem. The problem grows out of
the sharp increase, since the Durham
decision, of cases in which criminals
plead insanity as defense, or mental
incompetence to stand trial. The theory
is that criminals of unsound mind be-
long in a hospital, not in jail; that they
need treatment, not punishment. This
probably is sound theory. But it is no
good If the hospital facilities are lack
ing-and DR.. OverholSer's brush with the
law shows that they are lacking.

Dreury April in Paris

the government or Felix Gaillard
now must be added TO the long roll of
French governments which have come
and gone since the war. And, as has
been true so often before, this latest UNI
happy event again reflects the futility
which is the dominant fact OF political
life In modern France. The state-con-
trolled radio In Cairo says that the fall
OF Premier Gailiard means that France
Is headed for political anarchy" AS
much as one hesitates TO credit anything
coming from this source, 1t may be true.
In any event, France, though It has
survived crisis piled upon crisis, seems
to be facing It's sternest challenge. The
Gaillard government fell, technicalities
aside, because the General Assembly
would not accept his proposal for CONS
posing the quarrel with TuniSia, growing
out OF the Algerian war. The Premier
wanted the Assembly to accept the pro-
posals for settlement worked out by the
British-American good Offices mission.
But the French Rightists, aided and
abetted by the Communists, would have
no part of It, After a day OF charac-
eristically inflammatory debate, day
which brought forth harsh attacks on
the United States and which saw French
security troops dispatched to guard the
American Embassy in Paris, the Gall
lard government fell.
This anti-AmericaniSm, one sup
poses, will pass But whether 1t does or
not, the French problem will remain.
And North Africa, really, is a reflection
Of the problem, not the problem itself.
The real problem stems from an in
ability on the part of the French to form
any government which can deal deci-
Sively with the North African problem,
or any other major problem For this
dilemma, there is no remedy in sight;
yet as long as 1t remains unremedied
France will continue to be a very weak
link in the chain Of Western security.

Schools and Equality

Schools and Equality" was
excellent and factual. Con-
gratulations!
In one blow 1t destroys the
slogans and watchwords by
which the progressives Stran-
gle a tottering educational
system and, because the two
questions are interrelated, 1t
has also destroyed much of
integration's bad foundation.
ProgressiviSm discriminates
against all students. The only
alternative is to permit each
one. bright or dull. to progress
at the utmost speed of which
he is capable. The dullard
should be taught the essen
tials. then diverted to trade
schools where even he may
uncover hidden talents.
Encouraging the brilliant
scholar is not discrimination,
for education is merely an
adjunct of intelligence. A
Photographic memory may
bring a degree to an incom-
petent while a Lincoln may
never see the inside of a high
school.
AS to an educational elite
whose presence would mill
tate against 'togetherness',
conformity. mediocrity and
togetherneSs are the tools of
the enemies Of America and
We have no need for them.
II. as you quote John
Adams. -. to teach that all
men are born to equal powers
is as gross a fraud {.
i as ever was practiced =" 1t
has now been transcribed by
claims that interbreeding and
race amalgamation are the
Christian thing.
Segregation laws that ap-
ply TO both races are no more
violations of civil rights or
Christian ethics. than telling
both they must study arith-
metic. Just as our illegiti-
macy problem is caused by
erosion Of moral barriers and
oversolicitude Of sociologists
for those who should be pun
ished by public scorn II not
by law, so are those of race
equality and educational>me-
diocrity.
When we substitute COM
mon sense for mawkish senti-
mentality, we shall have re-
turned 70 the course Of ma
tional progress.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Our country correspondent
finds that recollection of
scenes of childhood have a
soothing and relaxing effect.
Well. maybe. 1t would de-
pend upon the person, and
that is precisely where per-
sonal investigation comes in.
To get back to sleep, after
waking, is more difficult than
to get to sleep in the first
place.
Dodges such as drinking
warm milk and eating only
wake some persons.
These perhaps do best to
relax the muscles of the
neck. Jaws, mouth and eyes
the best they can. One goes
over and over the same men,
tai commands, accompanying
them as well as possible by
conscious relaxation. This can
be attained, to some degree,
by practice. There are books
that may be consulted, but
sometimes these make the
practice so complicated that
they add to the tension one
is trying to dissolve.
Sometimes jutting the Jaw
forward but not violently at
least 48 times in succession
will do a good job of relaxing
both jaw muscles and the
neck. The theory is that all
muscles used all day long
(such as the tongue in talk
ingD need relaxing at. night
to get sleep.
One keeps tab on ones self
by realizing that a moment
comes when the effort be-
comes tireSome. Then-stop.
Then try to make the mind a
blank. If thoughts come, as
they will, the tiresome wran-
giles and worries of the day,
they must be commanded to
depart. The longer a period
of darkness is achieved, the
better chance one has to 60
to sleep.
Perhaps most persons who
suffer from sleeplessness, es-
pecially the predawn variety,
put too much store on sleep.
1t is wonderful, a blessed
thing, as Coleridge said: but
there are millions of persons
who need only five hours.
The rest of the sleepy time"
can well be conscious relaxa-
ton, a sort of dreamy state
some doctors say is Just about
as good as true sleep.
