Rejecting the idea that the

the very opposite is true.

The Presidents eSsage
seemed to carry in it an i'm
piled fear of the rise of a new
isolationism, perhaps born of
worry about receSsive economic
trends at home.
From the outset the Presi-
dent stressed the Importance
of the program and warned of
the effects of disseminating or
sharply reducing it.
The purpose of his program.
Mr.. Eisenhower said. was three
fold. The first consideration,
he explained, was to deter gen.
eral nuclear war. The second
was to prevent local aggression,
meaning new "Koreas" or So
called brush-fire wars. The
third was to forestall, Commu-
mist subversion or massive eco
nomic penetration of other ma
tionS.
The largest single portion of
the military security request

direct military assistance. a
sum sufficient to maintain
during fiscal 1859 the level Of

1t Should Happen There

Soviet Ambassador Menshikov
should find it interesting to null over
the circumstances surrounding his ap-
pearance the other day on College News
Conference, the ABC television show.
After having first demonstrated against
the event, picketS later declared that
they wished they had carried banners
boosting the program instead of con-
demning 1t. Their change of heart and,
temper was attributable to the fact that
the programs questioning panelists-a
group OF American students, including
Senator Kennedy'S younger brother
so challenged the envoy that neither he
nor the system he represents was in any
degree glorif1ed. Asked to comment on
the matter, the perSonable Mr. Mem
Shikov replied with an amiable shrug.
But he must feel, if he has given any
consideration to it, that the incident
constitutes wholesome example of
honest, independent and minded
thinking in a free society, and the
Kremlin itself ought to be impressed
and instructed by it. Certainly, if this
sort of thing were as common in the
USSR al it is in the United States, the
road tothutual understanding would be
much less rough than 1t Is.

Compensotion-Not Relief

The House has acted reasonably
and responsibility in approving the adj
mfnistration program for supplement-
ing the unemployment compensation
system. BY terms OF the House bill,
States may borrow Federal funds SUM-
Client TO extend by so per cent, the num-
Der OF weeks In which jobless dement's
are payable under existing compensa-
ton plans. These vary, State by State,
with the maximum period of coverage in
most (including the District Of Colum-
bia) set at 26 weeks. More than mil
lion jobless already have exhausted their
benefits under current allowances, but
II their States request the Federal loans
they would receive new aid The maxi
mum cost OF this extension is estimated
at $500 million, repayable to the Fed
eral Government over four-year period
or collectible later through a higher
Federal tax.
In approving this legislation, the
House rejected a recommendation of
the Ways and Means Committee ma
jority for a much broader program of
direct relief to the unemployed. Al
though labeled as supplement to the
unemployment compensation system,
the alternative bill would have gone far
beyond the bounds of that system to
give jobleSs benefits to workers who
have not been in covered" employment.
This measure would have authorized
SIS billion in Federal grants, not loans,
to the States and would have permitted
relief payments to an estimated IT mil
lion jobleSS persons in addition to the
3 million who have been eligible under
the compensation system.
Actually, the unemployment COM
penSation system is an insurance plan
embodied in the basic Social Security
Act, financed through special payroll
taxes levied for that purpose and ad-
miniStered by the States. AS such, it
has proved its value in previous recess
SionS, and only in very few States are
reserves now being seriously threatened.
1t was not designed to be Federal Job
less relief program, or the foundation
for Nationwide dole, and the House
has preserved its insurance character in
the bill enacted. If the needs for I'M
employment relief warrant broader and
more direct Federal aid, the question
should be considered entirely apart from
methods which almost surely would de-
Stroy the integrity of the compensation
system as it has existed for the past
20 years.

Lives in yeopurdy

When an F-10O-F Jet trainer COL
lided with United Air Lines OCT pas
Senger plane over Las Vegas last month,
killing 40 people, an Air Force spokes-
man said the jet was following normal"
flight procedures. Apparently this
spokesman was correct, up to point.
The flight procedures were indeed nor
mal-and needlesSly hazardous.
This is the only conclusion which
can be drawn from testimony given a
House subcommittee concerning the COL
lision, and released by Representative
Preston, of Georgia
According to this testimony. the
jet, flying at $4,000 feet in clear weather.
received permission from Nellis Air
Force base to penetrate
for landing. At 81 900 feet it crashed
into the air liner. The liner, flying at its
designated altitude in the proper air
lane passed that same spot at approx
imately the same time every day. This
TACT was known to the Nellis base per-
sonnet. Why, then, was the Jet, whose
position must also have been known to
the base personnel, given permission to
descend at that particular time? And
why is it necessary, with all the air
space available over Nevada, to conduct
training exercises over an established
commercial air lane?
The answer can hardly be that
there was only remote chance of a
collision. For the testimony revealed
that there have been 1000 "near misses"
in the air during the past two years.
The term NEAR misses" may be some
thing less than precise. But there is
nothing imprecise about what happened
over Las Vegas. If there had been little
more care, little more attention to
reasonable safety requirements, the
40 victims would be alive today.

No Job for Congress

IL may have been unintentional
but Virginia's Representative Porter
Hardy has put his finger on the main
issue in the Defense Department re-
organization debate.
Mr.. Hardy was unhappy with tes-
timony given yesterday by General
Thomas D. White, Air Force Chief of
Staff. General White, the only service
chief to lend wholehearted support to
the Presidents reorganization plan, said
1t was essential that the Secretary OF
Defense be given "clear cut" authority
and the necessary power to eliminate
duplication of military efforts.
The Virginia Democrat bridled at
this and asked: Are you willing to give
his 1.-THE Secretary'sl judgment priority
over that of Congress?" General White
replied that he was-Subject to the APP
peals which the service chiefs can make
to the President and the public.
What this comes down to, we think,
Is question of who is actually going to
run the Defense Department. If Congress
is going to run it, the Secretary'S judg-
ment should not have priority. But Con-
gresS cannot possibly do the job without
making a shambles of our national
security. If the Secretary is going to run
the department, if he is going to be held
responsible for the operation of our huge
and at best unwieldly defense establish
ment, then his judgment should have
priority. This is subject, of course, to
the qualification that Congress should
establish basic defense policies. But
once these policies have been laid down,
the Secretary most certainly should be
given all the authority needed to exc
cute them.
We do not share Mr.. Hardys fear
that this may lead to military die
tatorShip" in this country. What we do
fear is that denial of needed authority
to the Secretary of Defense will so i'm
pair our armed services that they will
be unable to meet the demands of mod
ern war. if war comes.

Arqentino's Test

With the inauguration of President
Arturo Frondizi, Argentina now is liv-
ing under its first freely elected govern
ment since Juan Peron seized power in
1943. But that government, together
with the country as whole, must deal
at once with critically difficult economic
problems, and its success or failure in
that respect will do much to deter
mine whether the restored democratic
rule will be able to prevail against the
extremists.
These extremists, made up of the
heretofore outlawed Communists on the
far left and the more numerous Peron-
lists on the far right, still constitute a for
midable force. Moreover, as indicated by
their demonstrations during the inaugu-
raj ceremonies, they are likely to become
increasingly active and militant as time
goes on. Mr. Frondizi, without soliciting
1t, received their support in the Feb
ruary election, and he has indicated that
he intends-in keeping with the prin-
ciples of democracy-to let them oper-
ate as legitimate political parties. This
could mean not merely an upsurge OF
Red activity, but also great reinvgora-
ton OF Peron's old movement, which in
turn might once again imperil liberty
in Argentina.
But Mr.. Frondizi, who is generally
regarded as left-wing intellectual hos
tile to any form of totalitarianiSm, has
strongly declared in his inaugural ad-
dress that his government will tackle
the economic crisis with vigor and stand
firm against those who would Subvert
the nations free way of life. Vice Presi-
dent Nixon'S participation in the Buenos
Aires ceremonies has served to drama
tie our own country's deep interest in
this revival of democracy. 1t is an in
terest shared by friends Of liberty every
where, with all hoping that Argentina
will pass the hard test before it and
move forward into bright new era of
prospecting freedom.

Pace From the Post

In doing some research for
the house tour being spon-
sored on May IT by the Capt.
toll Hill Restoration Society,
I came across a newspaper
of 1909 which contained an
old residents interesting
"reminiscences Of the 1850s.
What a dreary waste
Washington was then, what a
contrast to what it is now.
Over in Georgetown and
up on Capitol Hill there was
a little pride of family, but
nowhere was there any pride
of city. The Georgetown
and Capitol Hill aristocracy
were exclusive, and looked on
all others as the Jews once
looked on the Samaritans.
They would go to the White
House because that was
court and would welcome
to their homes the Southern
members of Congress because
they were of the blood; but
many Of their homes were al
ready showing signs of dilap-
idation. There was little
or no demand for real estate,
and lots now worth thou
sands could have been pur-
chased for a few dollars. .
At that time one of the most
unsightly places in the city
was the east front of the
Capitol. 1t was a great stone
yard where the stone was
dressed for the building of
the two new wings the
debris from the building re-
manned on the plaza for many
months after the buildings
were completed"

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Scarcely a week goes by,
out our way in nearby Mary
land, without a small opos-
sum being run over on one OF
the roads leading into the
District.
These animals are slow in
motion, and seldom If ever
are seen running. We have
watched them proceed at a
stately pace with a housecat
trailing along a few feet be-
hind.
The dog, Of course, is more
OF a menace, and ordinarily
opossums remain hid from it.
1t is in the problem of traf-
nc that the opossum seems to
use no brains whatever, but
here again the effect of the
interlocking worlds are seen.
Not only does this animal
have no idea whatever of hu-
man speed. as exemplified BY
the motor car, but the flash

In his letter explaining to
John @. Public" what is
wrong with the automobile
business. John @. Salesman"
asks What happened to the
Henry j, the Hudson Jet and
the Aero Willys?" I can an
swer that question.
The same thing happened
to the Henry j that hap
pened to its big brothers. the
Kaiser and the Frazer. The
same thing happened to the
Hudson Jet that happened to
its big brothers, the Hudson
Hornet, the Hudson Super
Six and the Hudson Com
modore. The same thing
happened to the Aero WHY'S
that happened to its big
predecessors. The bile
didn't spurn the little cars
because they were little. The
entire lines, big and little,
were spurned for reasons
other than their size. This
fact is attested by the SEN
sational success Of the Nash
Rambler and the small for
eign-made automobiles.
In my opinion, one Of the
big reasons that the public
isn't buying new cars, and
OF her mechanical gadgets
too. is that they do not woIk
properly when you get thesn
home. Samuel Shapiro.
