Salute to the Spitfire

A grateful British Empire long ago
acknowledged its lasting debt to the
gallant young men of the Royal Air
Force and their exploits in the Battle Of
Britain. And it was known to virtually
every school child, as we'll as adult, of
the time that this successful defense of
the besieged island was mounted for the
most part on the Stubby wings Of the
famous Spitfire-a Single-Seater, single
engine fighter plane that roared into
the skies night after night as German
bombers and escort fighters made their
way to their targets. So 1t was not really
an inglorious end (there will be no end
as long as history remains in PRINT to
the Spitfire saga that the last to be air.
borne should have crashed the other
day in cricket field. Under one of its
own World War II pilots, it had partici-
pated in "fy-past" over London in
celebration of that great victory before
its engine cut out and brought it down
for the final landing. There are no
plans to take Spitf1re off the ground
again. It did its work when most needed
and its place in history Is secure.

Mr.. Mcdonald Goes Home

s7 One day last week President EiSen-
hover said that collective bargaining
may be ION trial" in the steel negotia-
d., lions. 1t looks now as though the bar
gaining process has been tried and found
wanting.
= David J. Mcdonald, the union presi-
dent, has gone home and taken his
negotiatorS with him. In doing so, he
renewed his charge that the union has
run into a "stone wall" According to
Mr.. Mcdonald, the industry has not
made any economic offer, and will not
make an offer unless he agrees to
"break- the-union" changes in work
d. rules and practices. He did not specify
how the industry sought changes would
< break the union, nor did he indicate
that the union is willing to make any
concessions in this area.
: The response from r. Conrad Cooper,
chief industry negotiator, had an equally
familiar ring. Mr. Mcdonald, he said,
insists that the industry negotiate on
the unions terms or not at ALL" More
over, he said, the union has refused to
"join with the companies in any way,
shape or form to remove unreasonable
contract restrictions on Improvements
in efficiency and economy OF opera
tions." The industry position is that in
r exchange for contract notifications, 1t
would be willing to offer some modest
Improvements in wages and fringe
benefits.
From this, it appears that the con-
cept Of bargaining as give-and-take
process has gone out the window. The
q union wants economic benefits without
giving anything on contract changes.
The industry will make no economic
offer unless and until contract modif1ca-
r lions have been accepted. And as a
result, collective bargaining has broken
down.
-. It is always possible, Of course, that
the last word has not been said-that
there will yet be an agreed-upon settle
ment Of this costly dispute. II not, the
President will have to invoke the Taft
Hartley Act, and if that fails to resolve
. the matter, as is being freely predicted,
the whole problem will be dropped IN
the lap of Congress in January. 1t is
impossible to say what Congress will do.
But one thing seems certain. If free
collective bargaining cannot be made to
work in the steel industry, some form
of compulsory settlement Of these dis
putes will have to be written into the
law. And that could be very bad medi-
oira for oil concerned

His Human Touch

In terms Of promoting world peace,
Premier KhruShchev's visit among us
may prove to be a thing of doubtful
value, but there are two persons in
America who are likely to remember
and celebrate 1t all their lives as huge
success Of the most heart-warming
kind.
These two are Mr.. and Mrs. PauliuS
Leonas Of Chicago They have been
striving for many years, fruitleSSly, to
persuade the Kremlin to grant exit per-
mits to their son and daughter, who
were little children left behind when
their parents fled Lithuania (since
absorbed by the USSR) at the end of
the Second World War Despite the
failure Of repeated appeals, however,
Mr.. and Mrs. LeonaS never deSpaired,
and when the Soviet leaders visit ma
terialized, they made up their minds to
try meeting him face to face in Des
Moines.
The story of the conformation is an
altogether moving one. There was Mr..
Khrushchev strolling through the lobby
Of his hotel, and there we're the anxious
mother and father suddenly standing
before him to tell him of the burden on
their minds and hearts Don't cry" he
said, patting the fearful Mrs. LeonaS.
You'll get your children" And then,
as If sweeping away all the red-tape
cruelties Of the past, he instructed For
eign Minister Gromyko to "take care Of
the matter" which presumably will be
done with the least possible delay.
So Mr.. and Mrs. LeonaS, under
standably enough, are rejoicing in what
already has been achieved by the Soviet
leaders visit. OF course, it is strictly
limited personal thing, but it neverthe-
less supports Mr.. Khrushchev's conten-
ton that he has no horns and is quite
human. Perhaps, after all, it may be
possible to reach trustworthy agree
ment with him to put an end to the
cold war.

Thin Margin in Black

In Federal budget operation in
volving $40 billion, an estimated surplus
Of sos million is very thin margin
only little more than one-tenth of
per cent. And while 1t is welcome news
that calculations projected to next June
80 work out to surplus at all, 1t is Just
as well to take full notice of the poten-
tial hazardS-possibilities which could
turn black ink to red.
The estimates are those Of the
Budget Bureau In a post-Congress re-
view Of spending requirements versus
revenue expectations based upon antici-
pated business and individual income
levels. Compared with the original cal
culations of last January, the bureau
now figures that spending for the full
fiscal year will run SIG billion higher to
a total of $78.9 billion and that receipts
will rise by the same amount to $79 bill
lion. There Is little, II any, possibility
that expenditures will drop below the
new estimate. The increase in the pub
lie debt and the higher interest rates

extra spending, with the remainder
scattered irrevocably over variety Of
other programs. At the same time, there
are admitted dangers that receipts may
fall short Of the surpluS-producing total.
Most immediate of these threats on
the revenue side is the steel strike, and
Budget Director STAINS acknowledged
that its continuance for more than an
other two or three weeks could harm
fully affect general business activity and
estimated tax collections. There has, in
fact, been evidence already that other
industries, first of all the railroads, are
being hurt by the long shutdown in
steel. AS Of now, however, the Budget
Bureau finds that the momentum Of
early in the year recovery from the
1878 recession indicates record break-
ing levels Of corporate profits, personal
income and gross national product for
1859.
1t must be hoped, of course, that
the bureaus estimates in September
will stand up in June. A balanced
budget by even the narrowest of mar
gins will at least ease one of the strong
est inflationary presSures and perhaps
provide foundation for action next
year to reduce the nearly unmanageable
massive public debt.

Including Even Snois

In case anybody has forgotten, 1t
should be pointed out that this week
end in Washington is significant not
merely because it marks the climax OF
Nikita Khrushchev's visit, but also be-
cause it has been specifically dedicated
to program called Salute to the Ma
tional Zoo" The program, IN which
several foreign embassies are taking
part, involves a number Of interesting
ceremonies. These include ~ the dedi-
cation of a new f1agpole at the entrance
on Connecticut avenue and (2) the
placement of special signs Identifying,
together with their countries of origin,
the more than 5000 creatures that in
habit this refreshing retreat from the
hurly-burly Of such things as politics in
our wonderful but all-too-human city.
~ So we think it appropriate, as part
of the salute" to our Zoo, to hail all
the multitudinous forms of nonhuman
life in it, feathered and unfeathered
, alike, not excepting either snakes or
snails AS others have written, these
creatures, having no education, are de-
void of prejudiceS, and they are such
, agreeable friends that they ask no ques-
lions and pass no criticism. In De Mont
esquieu's words, they ''have not the high
advantages which we have, but they have
some which we lack. They know moth
ing of our hopes, but they also know
nothing of our fears; they are subject
to death as we are, but they are not
aware of it; most Of them are better
able to take care of themselves than we
are, and they make less evil use Of
their passions" That is why Walt Whit
man, in singing about himself, has sung
as follows:
q ! think / could turn and line tDith animals,
". they are so placid and selt-contdind,
stand and look at them long and long.
~ They do not s,0eat and 1Dhine about their
., condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and
tDeep for their sins.
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented

Let all of us therefore, on this Salut-
ing week end, make obeisance to our

little lower animals that dwell in 1t so

by Easy Stages

May I add to your editori-
al of September IS. by Easy
Stages, that at the Cover
nors' Conference held under
the Craftsmanship Of Presi-
dent Ayub Khan on July l.
last, it was decided to have
an advisory council for the
governor of each province.
This council will consist Of
Officials, out Of the elect
ed members of the Union
Panchayats (Village Coun-
cilS) and corresponding
bodies in the urban areas,
and officials concerned with
development activities Of the
provincial government.
The structure Of democracy
in Pakistan will rest on sew
eral tiers. The first will be
Union Panchayats. Each
Union Panchayat will ordi-
narily have 10 elected mem
bers and five nominated
members.
The second tier will be the
Tehsil Councils in West
Pakistan and Thana Councils
in East Pakistan. (Tehsil and
Thana are subdivisions of a
district in West and East
Pakistan, respectively The
chairman of every Union
Panchayat will automatically
become a member Of the
Tehsil /Thana Council.
The next tier will be the
District Councils in which
representation will be on a
$3.50 basis between govern
ment officials Of the develop
ment departments and nom
officials including members
of the Union PanchayatS.
The fourth tier will be the
Divisional Council. Again,
non-officials and officials
concerned with the nation
building departments will be
associated in equal number.

or to the Office of President,
the Union Panchayats might
well form the electoral COL
lege for such elections. In
that case, only the elected

Thus it will be noted that

not be made up Of individuals
specifically approved by the

NAACP's Task

After reading William M.
Werber's letter in The Star
on September II. I felt that
he should be correctly adj
vised concerning the "misdi-
rected activity of the NAACP.
From the beginning the
task Of the NAACP has been
to eliminate racial diScrimi-
nation and segregation. This
organization has always OPP
Grated in a legal manner,
through the courts and &C
cording to Federal and State
laws and the United States
Constitution.
No, Mr.. Weber, the Ne
grOes in Prince Edward
County, Va, did not follow
in the path of their white
brothers by establishing a
separate school program for
the colored youth in that
county. To do so would be to
defeat the very thing that
the NAACP is fighting to &C
complish. Establishing a sep
arate program for the Negro
students would only be set
ting up another segregated
educational system. Perhaps
these children will suffer by
losing valuable time from
their schooling while the
NAACP files suit upon suit
in the courts until this seq
regation in education is
brought to an end, but per-
haps Mr.. Weber is not aware
Of the fact that Negroes have
suffered for many years under
this segregation in the United
States-and are prepared to
suffer until their status as
second class citizens in
America comes to an end.
These young students in
Prince Edward County are
suffering today so that the
youth of tomorrow will not
be denied equal education. 1t
is not a question as to whe-
Their or not indignation will
become a reality. as every
clear thinking American is
aware that it is only a matter
Of time before segregation in
education will be eliminated.
A great deal of progress
has been accomplished in the
fight against racial and re-
ligiouS segregation. There
is still a great deal to be &C
complished before equal OPP
portunity for all people be-
comes a reality. Race preju-
dice is an ugly thing and it
produces serious effects upon
those who practice it and
upon those who are the vic
tins of it. Prejudice, in many
cases, incites violence. pro-
duces disastrous psychologist
cal effects upon its victims.
is demoralizing for those who
practice it, and has a harmful
effect upon the Nation and
affects this Nations relations
with the rest Of the world.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Labor and Fair Trade

Surely the hierarchy Of la
Dor must admit that one Of
the staunchest supporters
and loyal friends of labor
is Senator Hubert Humphrey
Of Minnesota, who also is an
ardent supporter of fair
trade. 1t is somewhat puz-
zling to the Senator why a
large segment of labor is OPP
posed to fair trade, which
prevents the ruthless price,
cutter from using branded
advertised products as bait
in order to switch the Gus
toner to unknown highly
profitable items. Sen tor
Humphrey said on this mat
ter:
II have said to my friends
in organized labor that Or
ganized labor ought to be for
fair trade, and I tell them
so you want time and a half
for overtime. You want a 40
hour week. You want the
seniority system. You want a
union shop. You want all Of
these things and ! think you
have a right to have them.
But, If you want them for
yourself you had better be in
terested in other people hay-
ing some code of professional
conduct, Of business conduct,
Of fair play for themselves"
The small neighborhood
store owner also says to labor
that II its members want to
continue to receive the many
services which the small
neighborhood store renders to
the working men of the Ma
ton, as well as their FAM
lilies. especially when the eco
nomic picture is precarious
and money is really tight.
then it ought to be willing at
all times to see that the small
businessman receives a fair
return for his labors.
If the small fellow is to be
financially and economically
sound, if he is expected to
render adequate and prompt
service to his customers, then
he must earn a fair profit on
the merchandise he sells. Fair
trade has brought order out
of chaos in the market place,
and unfair competition, such
as destructive price cutting,
can only increase the alarm
ing mortality rate Of small
businesses.

Behind the Curtain

Your story of September
II by Carl Hartman, Asso-
ciated Press staff writer.
from Leipzig, East Germany.
indicates that Mr.. Hartman
met considerable difficulty in
travel in East Germany. !
think that your readers de-
serve to know that not all
Americans have encountered
such difficulties.
My 20-year-old son and !
drove by automobile this
summer more than 1000
miles in five countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain, in
Guiding East Germany, with
no restrictions Of any kind.
We drove in Bulgaria and
Hungary, Czechoslovakia and
Poland, as well as East Ger
many and East Berlin, and
were never told where to go
or where not to go.
We drove across all these
nations, on the main roads
and on secondary roads. in
whatever parts Of all cities
we chose and were never
stopped or restricted in our
movements. We had proper
visas for all these countries
and we had no trouble Of any
kind in getting those visas.
We obtained the East Ger
man visa in Warsaw in a
matter of two hours.
We realize that we were
some Of the first Americans
to drive by car in Bulgaria
and Hungary and among a
small number who have
driven In the other nations.
But we were given friendly
greetings everywhere and
talked with many persons
quite freely behind the Iron
Curtain. We drove in and
out of East Berlin from West
Berlin usually without hav-
ing papers checked. except
for our liability insurance.
We do not know the mean
ing of this freedom granted
to us. We asked for nothing
special and we went, as tour
lists. We used our cameras at
all times and never were told
to refrain from picture TAX
ing. except for one sign in
East Germany. Is this indi-
cation Of more thaw in the
cold war? Do these countries
want American tourist dol
lars? We do not know the
answers to these questions,
but we went everywhere
without restriction. We hope
to go back.
