ed that at least six legislative
proposals may be introduced
during the current session.
Several civic groups have al
ready gone on record against
the liberalizing measures, which
range from q bill to permit
liquor in veterans clubs and
fraternal organizations to a bill
to permit the serving Of liquor
In hotels.
Is Have Licenses
After the repeal Of prohibi-
ton rs years ago. Montgomery
adopted a county operated dis
pensary system. Currently.
there are Is establishments In
the county which are permitted
to serve liquor.
OF these, 13 are country clubs
and three are restaurants with
special licenses granted by the
Legislature over 20 years ago.
One Of the 10 club permits Is
held by a motel restaurant. open
to the public but listed as a
country club and which quail
fies for q liquor permit under
present country club regula-
tons.
County beer and wine licenses
Of various types are held by
1862 other establishments-gro-
Gerry stores. taverns, restaurants
and delicatessens. But nearly
half Of the county's 10 elec-
ton districts are dry.
Restaurant and tavern oper-
ators have argued that under
the present system, the right to
be served liquor Is enjoyed only
by the well-to-do. They also
state that granting pouring IL
censes to other reputable es-
Establishments would boost tax
revenues and business in gen.
eral.
One proposal by the county
council would seal q loophole
which allows bottle clubs to
be operated in establishments
where no liquor license Of any
kind is held. Veterans club:
and fraternal organizations
would be exempted from this
provision.

Trying to save individuals from their
own "gullibility and greed" is generally
an unrewarding task, but the Securities
and Exchange Commission and reSpon-
Sible investment authorities are to be
commended for their concerted warn
ings against uninformed speculation in
"the stock market"
The established exchanges for trad
ing in securities are essential to our eco
nomic system. They provide the means
through which business and industry
raise much of their required capital,
and through which the owners of CAPT.
tai may put it to work conStructively.
They offer a free market, the working
of which in an orderly and honest fash
ion contributes to the welfare of the
national economy.
Unfortunately, it is not unusual in
a time Of such markets volatility and
despite efforts at regulation that tipster
statesmen and novice buyers combine to
distort the overall trading picture. The
SEC, concerned with the regulatory side,
has taken an unusual step in warning
that "the amateur who plays the mar
ket is asking for trouble" G. Keith
Funston, president Of the New York Ex-
change, who has consistently encouraged
broader participation by individuals in
sound investment in corporate shares,
has spoken even more strongly against
purchase of highly speculative stocks
by people who don't realize what they're
buying" The advice is good for those
who have more money than sense, and
perhaps not much Of either.

Live Happily Ever After!r

Much attention has been drawn, and
correctly So to the fact that 1900
year-old tradition came to dramatic
end in Toyko when Japan's Crown Prince
Akihito married outside Of royalty. The
bride, attractive daughter of wealthy
japanese businessman, became Her I'm
perial HighnesS Crown Princess Michiko
when the ancient Shinto wedding ritual
had been completed. For the first time,
"commoner" thus took her place in
line of succession to be some day EN-
press of the Land of the Rising Sun.
1t is correct, also, to point out that
this event symbolizes broad and deep
change in the politico-Social culture of
all Japan. The former Michiko Shoda,
for example, is not the only young
Japanese woman to have travelled" in
a few years the long road from a clois-
tered feudalism to 20th-century free
dom. Granted the right to vote for the
first time in 1945, Japanese women have
advanced rapidly since then in the fields
of education, business and politicS-as
the nation itself has advanced to a
status of democracy adapted to its most
revered traditions.
With all this, however, there is
something else that is more timelesS
and unchanging in the story of Akihito
and Michiko. 1t is simply the story of
boy and girl, who met in this case
on tennis court and found in due time
that they were in love. Fortunately, all
the "Silken curtains" of tradition were
insufficient to prevent their marriage
as asSuredly would have been the case
not many years ago. And so, when the
royal bridegroom, reading his marriage
oath, said from now on we will love
each other forever" there are millions
of young and old in all parts of the
world who must have nodded approx
ingly and with every hope that it will
be so.

Cancer and Hope

NAH CONTINUES 10 make 6teauy pTOB-
ress toward the goal of putting an end
to cancer as a major killer. He is doing
SO with advanced surgical techniques,
with improved radiation treatments, and
with stepped-up research OF kind that
promises to lead eventually to great
breakthroughs against the disease.
A striking measure Of the advance
along this line can be found in the fact
that the cure rates for certain forms of
cancer have risen from mere per
cent in the mid-1930s to a present level
Of between IS and 40 per cent. Right
now, Of the 100000 Americans who
contract the disease each year, 10000
are saved through early diagnosis and
prompt treatment And this latter fg-
ure, according to the distinguished DR..
I. s. Ravdin, who has just spoken here
on the subject, could be increased by
$4,000 If only annual physical examina-
lions were a general practice in our
country. AS matters stand, these $4,000
die needlessly because they fail to have
such checkups and thus lose their chance
"a NSOCNbAAAS IAlC iLdA1elldAlCy Ill tALllC W
cope with it effectively.
AS for other aspects of the war
against cancer, our countrys research
programs are moving ahead at pace
that was unknown a few years ago.
These programs, involving annual out
lays of many millions of dollars on elm
ical work and wide variety of labora-
tory projects in scores of private and
public institutions, are aimed at achiev-
ing major breakthroughs. One such
breakthrough could open up an era in
which chemotherapy and a new family
of drugs would become readily available
as powerful curative weapons. And an
other might determine the role that vir-
uses play in some types Of the disease,
thus laying the groundwork for the de-
velopment of antibodies or vaccines cap
able of acting with great potency against
malignancies like leukemia.
OF course, all these possibilities still
remain to be proved, and the only effec-
tive way to deal with cancer at present
is through treatment by radiation or
surgery. Nevertheless, while cautioning
against premature or false hopes, the
scientists directly involved have made
clear that there is every reason to expect
that the disease will be conquered in
due time, at least in the sense of being
reduced to. the status Of minor killer.

Hard to Believe

It is hard for the average Russian
worker to believe that many of his Amer
lean opposite numbers live in $l3,OOO
homes equipped with an array of labor
saving gadgetS, not to mention televi-
sion and radio. And it is just as hard
for the average American worker to
believe that such normal convenienceS
of modern living are so strange to fam
lilies enjoying the Iron Curtain brand
of utopian existence.
The contrasting ways of life are
made clearly apparent by the sarcastic
comment of the Soviet news agency,
Tass, in connection with plans to send
typical American" home to the United
States exposition in Moscow next July.
The home is to be prefabricated six
room, e-and-a-half bath, ranch-type
building costing $4,000 exclusive of lot,
with $4,000 worth of furnishings. "Ac-
tually," said TaSs, there is no more
truth in showing this as the typical
home of the American worker than, say,
in showing the Tai Mahal as the typical
home of a Bombay textile worker or
Buckingham Palace as the typical home
of an English miner"
However, the man who is preparing
the house for shipment has made re-
joinder which ought to-but naturally
will not-be published in Moscow. He
is Herbert Sadkin, head Of firm which
is building 400 of these TAI Mahals"
on Long Island. They are priced at
$l3,00O-and they are being bought by
what Mr.. Sadkin describes as typical
American workers. And in response to
.TaSS' assertion that such furniture as
is depicted in propaganda" could not
be bought for $4,000, Mays depart
ment store, which will supply the fur
niShings, has announced that the same
furniture and trimmings are available
to anyone within a $4,000 budget"
: Nothing could better illustrate the
difference between the American way of
life and the Soviet way than the Tass
dtatribe. Nor is it surprising that the
prospect of an exhibition of such an
American home in Moscow has stirred
up contemporaries barrage from

Thinking Mans Appeal

~. 1t is a good thing to have man
like Mike Mansfield around at time
when too many people are enthralled
or intimidated by catch words and
clicheS. 1t is good because this Montana
Senator thinks for himself and says
what he thinks.
There is a cult IN our country which
is preaching the doctrine that it is futile
to negotiate with Mr. KhruShchev be-
cause the Russians have never lived up
to an agreement. And by implication
this cult charges that anyone who dis
agrees is either an appeaser or halfwit.
Senator Mansfield has not heSitated
to disagree-his most recent effort being
a speech last week to the Alumni ASSo-
citation Of New York University Law
School. What he says makes sense to us.
= The Montana Democrat appealed for
an affirmative approach by the West to
the forthcoming session Of foreign min
listers and the prospective summit meet
ing. There should be less concern, he
said, with saving face and more with
saving civilization. Senator Mansfield
was not born yesterday, and he definitely
is not peace-at-any- price advocate.
He insists that any agreement must be
based on quid pro quo, on concessions
to match concessions. And, Of course,
he realizes that there will be no peace,
and no settlement, unless the Russians
want peaceful settlement.
He argues, however, that there have
been great changes in the world in Is
yearS-great changes especially in Eu-
rope and in Germany. These changes
bear down upon the Russians no less
than upon the West, and they call for
rethinking in order to be sure that our
tactics have not become frozen in
obsolete concepts. In short, Senator
Mansfield is saying essentially what Mr..
Macmillan has been saying, as we under
stand it. And this is that policies de-
vised years ago, in another setting,
cannot serve in the new situation which
is evolving"
In short, we must raise our sights
and try again. Let's ignore the name
callers and the defeatiStS. 1t is at least
possible that the Russians, for reasons
of their own, want settlement which
the West can accept. If this is the case,
the opportunity should not be muffed
because Of Shackled thinking. For the
alternative is war-a nuclear war which
will dump mankind into "black and
bottomlesS pit" This, in essence, is
Senator Mansf1eld'S message. We hope
he will continue to speak his piece.
