rural legislators, who are far In the
majority, have shown little interest in

It is against this background that
the plan to invite the Assembly men,
bers to visit Northern Virginia as guests

great significance. 1t is fair, certainly,
to infer from the past comments and

Bonus for Motorists

1t isn't often that Washington area
motorists get bonus. Such gift has
been handed them, and gratefully re-
ceived, in the opening of beautiful
and functional extension of the George
Washington Memorial parkway between
Spout Run and Route 1923 in Virginia
one of the few bright developments
in the regions snail-paeed highway
program.
Just across the Potomac, however,
motorists still are patiently awaiting a
companion parkway along the Maryland
bluffS, the plans for which some years
ago were in more advanced stage than
the Virginia project. All the right Of
way for the Maryland parkway between
the District line and Cabin John has
been acquired, and designs for it have
been drawn and redrawn ad infinitum
" by the National Park Service. Yet only
a two-lane section-half the parkway's
ultimate width-slowly is taking form
today.
Why the squirt Of progress by the
park service in Virginia? The answer,
we're afraid, is that slight credit is due
the park service for speedy action. The
real thanks go to the Central Intelli-
gence agency, which received a whop-
ping appropriation through Congress in
order to insure that the parkway would
be ready to serve its new $46 million
headquarters near Langley.
The CIA center won't be completed
until 1851, so the parkway's opening
is welcome boon to virginia's hard
pressed motorists. But the time also is
overdue for other areas, not fortunate
enough to have a CIA to spur con-
struction, also to realize BENEFITS of the
long promised plans.

Legislative Eye Opener

Judging from past performances of
the country boys" in Virginia's General
Assembly, the proposed tour of Northern
Virginia by all members of the Legisla-
ture should be a real eye opener. For
the legislators from rural sections Of
the State too often have manifested a
woeful lack Of understanding of the
problems in such a thickly populated
area as nearby Virginia.
The "city boys" in the Assembly, in
which category the Senators and Dele
gates from Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax County are placed by their rural
colleagues, have had hard time trying
to explain Northern Virginia's needs for
a more adequate share Of State finan-
cial aid and services. The area has been
shortchanged particularly with regard

Good Counsel in Panama
President Ernesto de Ia Guardia. ir.

President ErneSto de la Guardia, jr.,
has done commendable thing in broad
casting his disapproval and condemna-
ton of last Tuesdays outrages against
our Embassy in Panama and our troops
in the Canal Zone. These outrages were
committed by an irresponsible mob of
"nationalists" resentful of the fact that
a solemn treaty gives the United States
perpetual control over the 500-mile-
square area. With that in mind, the
PanamAnian leader has been at pains
to caStigate the unruly elements for
their vicious behavior toward "the au-
thorities of country which has, with us,
vital mutual interest" in the region.
Moreover, Panama's President has
gone on to warn all reckless elements
among his countrymen that such action
and other extreme measures are fatal
for the relationship between govern
ments and peoples, and the only results
Of them are the building of resentment
and bitterness" These are good and
timely words, and it must be hoped
though mobs rarely pay much attention
to the voice of reason-that they will be
needed from here on out. In any event,
1t is reasSuring to know that Mr.. de Ia
Guardia and his regime have sharply
condemned Tuesdays events and appear
to be Intent upon barring repetition
of them.

Wholesale Perjury

One Of the most serious aspects of
the quizz show scandal Is the estimate
by District Attorney Frank s. Hogan
that Of $50 witnesses who. appeared be-
fore New York grand jury maybe 50
told the truth" This is another way
Of saying that some 100 witnesses lied
under oath, and this, II correct, is ap-
palling evidence Of widespread moral
decay.
Certainly 1t is q disclosure which
should cure the complacency Of those
who seem to think that q little cheating
on quizz show Is part of the game,
just one of the manifestations Of SHOW
business" For II Mr.. Hogan is right,
the cheating, reprehensible enough in
itself, was Just prelude to perjury, and
perjury is very serious criminal Of
tense. When 100 out of $50 people are
willing to lie under oath, either to pro-
tect themselves or to protect someone
else, it is time to stop deluding ourselves
with the notion that little corruption
is nothing to worry about.
1t is very important, we think, to
demonstrate in this instance that crime,
in the form of perjury, really doesn't
pay. Those who perjured themselves,
and against whom the evidence is sum-
GENTLY strong, should be indicted and
tried for their offenSe. This does not
mean that indiscriminate prosecutions
would be Justified, and Mr.. Hogan is en-
tfrely right in saying that he will not
be stampeded into taking haSty and
perhaps unwarranted action. But
where the proof exists the prosecutions
should be both certain and vigorous.
Such action, If it accomplishes nothing
else, should discourage others from
thinking that telling the truth, in grand
jury testimony, is simply matter of
inclination or convenience, and that it
is all right to perjure ones self If
enough other people are doing the same
thing

Up to Business Groups

The success or failure of the 1859
United Givers Fund drive for $7,133, 900
is up to the business community. This
is plain from the returns so far reported
in.the campaign-now extended for two
weeks. Whereas the Government Unit
is very close to its quota Of $S,S25, 900,
corporate and employe gifts from busi-
ness firms of the Washington Metro
politan Area are tagging badly.
Ironically, it was the business COM
munity's complaints about multiple fund
appeals that led to establishment here
of the UGF ne-drive- e-for-many-causes
program. 1t is hard to understand,
therefore, the failure of many business
firms to carry their share of the UGF
load. The Metropolitan Unit, which
is canvassing business firms, has re-
ported only 62.23 per cent of its quota Of
$2,037 900. The Special Gifts Unit, which
is. specializing on corporate gifts and
large individual contributions, has OBJ
tained only 1873 per cent Of its $1,77l 900
quota. In contrast, the Government
Unit, with 81 per cent of its quota in
4AdlAu anu VIC slCHidlliuci SAPoCtCu W
be secured during the remaining two
weeks, is $4,000 ahead of its pace last
year.
:. So the hopes of campaign leaders
for reaching the 1859 UGF goal rest
with that portion Of the business COM
munity which to date has failed to
measure up to its civic responsibilities.
It should be evident to the laggards that
united campaigning must have the sup
port of the whole community If 1t is to
continue to meet the needs of the 146
agencies in the undertaking.

THE POLITICAL MILL

Congress who supported the

Of which were embodied in
the new law. threatening re-
prisals at the polls. other
labor leaders have followed
this up with attacks on Sena-
tors and Congressmen who
voted for the passage Of the

Hoffa, president of the
Teamsters Union, has listed
56 members Of Congress for

licans and two Democrats.

date for President. they will
support Senator Humphrey
Of Minnesota over Senator
Kennedy Of Massachusetts,.
They attack the latter be-
cause he was cosponsor Of
the Kennedy Landru m.
Griffin bill" which finally
passed.
An Unpleasant Thought
Decidedly, organized labor
has said that it intends to
enter the political cam
paien In q bigger way next
year than ever before. 1t is
not q pleasant idea which
confronts members of Con.
gress and candidates for
nomination to the Senate
and House that II they are
to win. they must give their
first allegiance to the Lead
ers Of organized labor. Fur
thermore. it is doubtful that
labor will be able to win out
in such a struggle. Organized
labor in the past has for
the most part supported
Democratic candidates for
Congress and for higher Of
f1ce. Indeed, it has become
known as an important ally
of the Democratic Party. :
But there are many Demo-
Gratis who shy away from the
idea that their party should
be owned-lock, stock and
barrel-by labor. This mat
ter of whether organized
labor shall control the Gov
ernment OF the United
States. in both the legisla-
tive and executive branches,
ceases to be a partisan po-
litical issue between the two
parties-or it should.
A study prepared for the
House Economic Committee
and made public by that
committee blames the in
crease in wages and prices Of
steel in the last decade for
the imitation which has
gripped the country and re-
duced the value of the dol
lar. The report also blames
the Federal Government. But
1t contends that the ad-
,vances in steel wages and
prices have accounted for
40 per cent of the rise in
wholesale prices in the same
period. 1t pointed out that
in the years 1953-1958 steel
wages rose 800 per cent,
compared to 20.3 per cent in
all manufacturing. It's time
for both the steel industry
and steel labor to show. re-
straint.

Man of Peace

-. 1t IS not surprising that Philip ].
Noel-Baker of Britain has won the 1859
Nobel Prize for Peace. A Quaker and a
Laborite statesman long active in his
cenntry's political life, he has summed
up the essence of his paciflstic philoso-
ply in these words: War is damnable,
filthy thing and has destroyed civiliza-
ton after civilization" This is the feel
ing, the faith, that has motivated him
for decades past, and he has labored
hard and with distinction in keeping
with it.
Indeed. throughout ali OF his adult
years, Mr.. Noel-Baker, now 10, has been
one of the worlds most dedicated adj
vocates of amity among nations. More
particularly, with breadth of vision
and depth of scholarship equaled by few
other men of his time, he has crusaded
tirefeSsly in behalf of disarmament
strictly policed-as the indispensable
precondition Of an International peace
trustworthy enough to guarantee mans
survival. OF course, as is true of every
body else who has worked in the same
diffcult and generally barren vineyard,
he has met with innumerable frustra-
tions and disappointments, but he still
manages to be reasonably optimistic.
He believes, in fact, that immense
progress has been made" in the atomic
age toward controlling arms, especially
so because Soviet Premier Khrushchev
appears to be genuinely interested in
working out mutually acceptable agree
mentS with the West.
Although this may prove to be an
illusory view, Mr.. Noel-Baker is a man
OF peace who prefers to hope rather
than despair, and to be affirmative in
spirit rather than cynical or negative.
So the Nobel award we'll becomes him in
a world where his kind Of faith-faith
In the possibility of establishing q sys-
tenn Of enduring international secu-
rity-is needed in the effort to prevent
a cataclysmic war. The rest of us, on
both sides of the Iron Curtain, could do
worse than emulate his example.

The storm signals are up
for both organized labor and
industry. How seriously the
people are looking at strikes
and lockouts which increase
the cost Of living and bring
imitation In their train, re-
ducing the value OF the doll
lar. is becoming increasingly
evident. When friends OF or
ganized labor like Senator
Wayne Morse Of. Oregon,
Senator Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts, Senator Symington
Of Missouri, and Senator
Cooper OF Kentucky, the hrst
three Democrats and the
fourth q Republican, suggest
that some means must be
found to halt such devastat-
ing strikes as that which has
tied up the steel industry for

creased, take q second look.
Senator Morse has said he
intends to- introduce q bill to
give the President drastic
powers to bring an end to q

curity and walfare Of the
American people. One of
these methods would be the
appointment by the President

The other Morse proposal
would be power for the
President to : seize closed

subject to a veto by Congress
within ten days.
Further. there. is increas-
ing opinion among members
Of Congress that its COM
mittees on labor and, public
welfare should begin a study
without delay of the present
Taft-Hartley Act-not to
weaken it so far as Nation
wide strikes are concerned, but
to strengthen It,.
Senator Proxmire of Wis
consin, another friend of
labor, believes that commit
tee work should begin
promptly. He docs not at this
time offer any suggestion as
to what changes should be
made in the law. But other
Senators. including Kennedy,
Symington and Cooper, have
