The Only Dissent

Except LOT the Dill OF rlgntS, "
the bill approved yesterday is
generally similar to the Kennedy
Ives bill that was passed by an
88-to-l vote last year. Senator
Goldwater was not present for
last years vote, when the only
dissent came from former Sena-
tor Malone of Nevada.)
Democrats and Republicans are
still pointing the finger of blame
over who was responsible for let
ting last years bill die in the
House. House passage this year is
far from a certainty, though it
appears likely at this stage.
The clash between Senators
Mcclellan and Kennedy, fellow
members of the Rackets Com
mittee, produced some of the most
spirited debate of the week.
At one point Senator Kennedy
declared:
THE difference between me and
the Senator from Arkansas is that
every time he looks at a union he
sees a racketeer and every time
I see a union I see people at
tempting to advance their eco
nomic interests"
Replying sharply to Senator
Kennedy on another occasion,
Senator Mcclellan said wither-
ingly:
Never before have I heard so
ridiculous an argument by one
who has so much intelligence.

THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
New Hand at the Helm

On March %. 1890. Thomas
jefferson took the oath Of Office
as the first Secretary Of State of
the United States of America UNI
der the Constitution. Named by
President George Washington, the
Sage Of Monticello had no open
opposition. But in the admins
tration of his Office, Mr.. Jefferson
found difficulties aplenty, most Of
them stemming from the i'm
placable hostility Of Secretary Of
the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.
whose political philosophy differed
from Jefferson's as does day from
night.
In the conduct Of foreign af-
fairs, Jefferson's administration
of the State Department stands
up well under the searching scru-
tiny Of history. Since his incum-
bency, So men have occupied the
position, the senior in the Presi-
dents cabinet. None Of the So,
however. enjoyed the unanimous
approval accorded to Thomas JEFF
ferSon's appointment. But last
Tuesday a SD appointee, Chris
tan A. Herter, won not only unan-
imous Senate confirmation (93
to 0, with five Senators absent
but on record as favoring the ap-
pointment) but also the speediest
confirmation ever given an sp-
pointee for the post.
Under the standing rules of the
Senate. minimum time Of seven
days is required for the confirma-
ton of cabinet officer. In most
cases, even where confirmation is
ultimately certain, Senate action
takes much longer than that. Sec
rotary of Commerce designate
Lewis L. Strauss, for example,
was named by President Eisen-
hover in october and today, more
than three months since the Sen
ate organized for the seth Con-
gresS, Mr.. Strauss still awaits con-
firmation,

On Worlds
Economics

While the diplomats were pre-
pairing for their rounds ahead,
an impressive array of the worlds
business talent and leadership
gathered in Washington last week.
The occasion was the XVIIth
Congress Of the International
Chamber of Commerce. Counting
officials, delegates, press and
accompanying family members,
there were more than 1900 per-
sons from all over the world in
attendance.
At the Sheraton Park Hotel,
congress headquarters, the dele
gates heard discussions of almost
every aspect of world trade. They
listened to words of welcome by
President Eisenhower and to a
frank discussion Of growing
American protectionism by Sena-
tors and Representative from
protection minded States. They
heard Of the contributions to in
ternational commerce made by
the International Monetary Fund,
of revaluation of currencies and
gold, Of the effects of imitation,
of the problems Of the underde-
veloped areas Of the world.
Many delegates expressed grave
concern at the growth Of Senti-
ment in the United States for
higher tariffs on competitive i'm
ports. American spokesman
stressed. however, the essentially
liberal official policy of the United
States over the past quarter CEN
tury. They aScribed the current
pressure for higher tariffs to the
economic dislocations of the bust
ness recession. increased unem-
ployment. and direct low-price
competition in some consumer
goods.
European delegations for the
most part expected a steady in
crease in trade between the Com
munist nations and the West, es-
pecially If substantial progress is

the West insists that a solution
to the German question is a
prerequisite to other settlements,
a deadlock may we'll result. with
a possible appeal to the United
Nations by either or both sides
following.
Another area of disagreement is
the problem of security for the
nations of the Warsaw Pact
Poland, Czechosloyakia, Romania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania
in Central and Eastern Europe.
Recognition by the West of the
status quo in the so-called Satel-
lites is a major Soviet aim. Here
again, France and West Germany
oppose any concessions. Their view
is that Western yielding on this
issue would seriously compromise
the Vests moral position. and
would directly add to Communist
military advantages over the West
in Europe.

The Tasks Ahead

Firmly established now in the
Office Of Secretary, Mr.. Herter
faces a severe test in the immedi-
ate weeks ahead. His first task
will be to help hammer out some
acceptable degree of unity among
the Big Three-Britain, France,
and the United StateS-before the
foreign ministers meet May IL in
Geneva with the Soviet side. In
doing that he will have to con-
slider the very inSistent views Of
West Germany, whose govern
ment still stands fast on a mo
concession" policy.
There was little in the way of
definite fact last week with which
to measure the degree of accord
reached SO far among the Western
powers. But in general, the situa-
ton seemed to be that of a Britain
convinced that a practical agree
ment with the Soviet Union could
be reached, with concessions on
both sides, and a France and West
Germany holding out for firmness
and rigidity. The United States
was reported to lean strongly to
the latter position, but also to be
attempting to effect some meeting
of the minds. The final decisions
on the Vests position will be
taken this week, when the foreign
ministers get together in Paris to
discuss the recommendations of
the diplomatic task force which
has been working quietly in Lon
don the past few weeks.
Whether Mr.. Herter is success
full in his meetings with his fellow
foreign ministers, he will never
theleSS bear the brunt of the
Vests presentation at the Geneva
session next month. To the West,
this meeting is given a consider
able degree of Importance as a
probable indication of Soviet in
tentions. Mr.. Eisenhower has
stressed the stand that the foreign
ministers conference must pro-
duce some definite evidence that
a summit meeting later could &C
complish substantial progress.

Senators Embarrassed

But if Senator Kennedy was
bruised by the weeks events, two
of his chief rivals were also some

These two votes were a defeat
for the administration as we'll as
for the forces the Rackets Com
mittee chairman was attempting
to rally.
Senator Kennedy had held that
the task Of amending the Taft
Hartley law should be left to a
separate bill, as it now will be.

tary Of Labor Mitchell wanted the

form bill.

that increased trade relations

sense of need, the onr who realizes
that he can of himself do nothing.
But this beatitudc goes further.
Blessed is the one who is not only
conscious of his failure, Of his
sin, but who grievcs over it, who
takes it to heart. Blessed is the
one who is so gricvcd over his
moral and spiritual lack that he
turns his face toward him who is
able to supply his need.
Not only are those blessed who
mourn over their own sins, but
there is blessing and comfort for
those who mourn over the sins of
others. Jesus mourncd as he
thought OF the sins of his own
people-thosc who would not
come to him.
Those who mourn over their
own sins find reconciliation with
God Christ brings consolation to
them by bringing forgiveness. Such
mourning ends in pardon and

The Second Beatitude
THOSE WHO MOURN


Matt. 54, blessed are they that
mourn; for they shall be com
forted"
For our meditation today we
are considering the second of the
beatitudes of Jesus in the Sermon
on the Mount. Blessed are they
that mourn; for they shall be com
forted
There is a vital connection and
progress in this group of bcati-
tudcs They are not thrown to-
gcthcr carclcssly They arc an out
growth from common root They
are stages in the development of
Christian character
The root of all the bcatitudcs
is the poverty of spirit which is
spoken of in the preceding verse,
Blessed are the poor in spirit;
for theirs is the kingdom of hca-
ven" This spirit lies at the founda-
ton of the highest type of human
character
Instead Of promising his hearers
delivcrance from all the ills OF
life, Jesus was saying that they
might be happy in the midst Of
their sorrows and that they might
be blessed in the midst OF their
miscricS and Of their mourning be
cause of them. How could that be?
1t seemed impossible But Jesus
had a gospel to preach, glad It'd
ings, which would bring JOY to
their lives
All men at one time or other
will mourn. but all who mourn arc
not blessed. There are mourncrs

Cats Evude
Court Edict
An elderly woman with more

An elderly woman with more
cats than the city thinks is
proper still has them today
despite strenuous efforts of the
Animal Rescue League to haul
them away.
Miss Mary I. Moriarty, IS, has
been ordered by Municipal
Court to get rid of the so or so
cats which neighbors and police
say swarm in and around her
house at 1885 Quincy street
NV.
Her attitude when league
members showed up yesterday
could best be described as pas
sive resistance.
She has only one cat, she
maintained, while placidly lg-
noring all the felines skittering
about her feet and climbing in
and out of her basement win
dow.
Miss Moriarity calmly went
about her business as league
members chased around in the
basement after the wary ami
mails. There were at least IA
down there, league members
said, all in secure hiding places.
Finally, the league members
left-with one gray kitten.

City Heads Reject Plea
To Ease ABC Policy

In the case of Press Liquors,
the store was cut off from
wholesale orders the middle OF
last month because it owed
about $4,000 for May pur-
chases.
The attorney for the store,
E. T. Simpson, told the Com
missioners that its credit
troubles were the result of the
personal financial difficulties of
the manager, Ford Kali, a
stakeholder.
The store itself, Mr.. Simp-
son said, is a sound business
operation. The licensee is a
corporation.
Last week Mr.. Simpson was
turned down on a request for
a temporary restraining order
to the purchase cutoff by Dis
trict Court Judge George Hart
No public hearing would
have been required, but one
could have been held. However
Mr.. Simpson said his client
needed immediate relief.
With rejection at the re-
quest, Mr.. Simpson said he
would go back to court.

cided to turn down the pro-
posal, Commissioner David B
