Envies Commodious Transport of Alleged Critters

Instead of "going to the
dogs" this country is going to
the swine, cattle, sheep and
other animals that are
shipped by interstate COM
merce. The transportation of
these animals is legiSlated
on, regulated and scrutinized
by hundreds of Government
employees. Rules are promul-
gated by Federal regulatory
agencies regarding the
amount of floor space that
each animal must have in
the railroad car or truck in
which it is shipped. If the
shipper fails to allot this
floor space to the animal, he
may find himself involved in
legal haSsles with a Federal
agency. A large animal, e.g.,
a pig is required by agency
regulation to have floor space
equal to eight feet by two
and one-half feet, a total of
20 square feet per pig.
The human species fails to
fare so well. Someone has
forgotten to legislate, regu-
late and adjudicate his posi-
ton in relation to his Ship
per. This shipper appears to
be able to herd our unregu-
lated human into an iron
hearse called a local bus) ,
in almost any manner he sees
fit. The shipper may subject
our poor human to indigni-
ties that would bring the

Were not the Founding
Fathers wise men who had
studied the rise and fall of
nations that lasted a thou

their judgment, should it be a
half-baked decision made

Was not a national city set

this not true in war, in revo-

THE POLITICAL MILL
Chairman Butler Sees the Liqht
By GOULD LINCOLN

fact, however. that there is
wide division between two
wings Of the Democratic Par
ty. And that is the UNDER
lying factor which no con-
ference between Mr.. Butler
and the congressional lead
ers can eradicate.
Mr., Butler believes, as he
has so frequently said, in
radical measures to force
school indignation all over
the country - violently OPP
posed in the Democratic
South. He believes in a big
spending program for all
kinds of So-called humans
tartan legislation, which in
cludes the appropriation Of
billions Of dollars to be used
for these programs. This,
whether the Government has
to go deeper and deeper in
TO the red or not. He would
give the labor unions prac-
tically what they want in the
way of revised labor laws.
And finally, Mr.. Butler is
determined to bring about
the nomination for President
next year of the liberal Dem
ocrat who believes as he
does.
johnson "Scuttling" Feared
Despite the fact he is ma
.tional chairman and supposed
to be neutral when it comes
to the selection of his party's
presidential candidate, Mr..
Butler some time ago virtually
read off Senator johnson as
a nominee. 1t is not strange,
therefore, that when Mr..
Butler opened fire on Sena-
tor Johnson's leadership,
friends of the Texan were
Immediately suspicious that
Mr.. Butler was trying to sink
the Senator's chances for a
presidential nomination once
and for all. Indeed, their
comments were bitter in the
extreme. Now, the public is
expected to believe that none
OF this happened.
Rarely has majority party
IN the Senate had as astute
and able a leader as the Sem
ator from Texas. He has
proved himself again and
again efficient in getting leg
lslation acted upon in a body
which has been known over
the years for Illustrations
when a minority, even a
small minority, was opposed
to the measures proposed.
1t was under his guidance
the first civil rights bill in 80
years passed the Senate and.
eventually, the House and
became law.
That, however, is by no
means the whole story. Sem
ator johnson by his hard
work, his persuasive ability
and his adroitness, has got
ten many bills through which
might have died on the vine.
Furthermore, he keeps the
Senate'S nose to the grind
stone, which, after all, is
essential if anything is to be
accomplished in that body.
Neither Senator johnson
nor Speaker Rayburn made
any public retort to the crit
lclSms of their leadership by
Mr.. Butler, They let nature
take its course. Mr.. Butler
has found it necessary to
draw in his horns. The con-
ference with the leaders was
a kind of face-saving device.

Home Rule

Proponents of home rule
claim that a vast number of
citizens are now disfran-
chised. Some place the num-
Der at 100000.
This is misleading for a
large number of these cit
liens are not of voting age.
A large number are Govern
ment employees, Civil Service
workers allocated to the vari-
Gus States. They must retain
their legal residence in the
States from which allocated,
or lose their jobs. They can
vote in their respective
States. They could not vote
in the District as that would
change their legal residence.
The figures as to how many
of these there are, are not
available. But it may reach
100000 or even 100000. A
small portion of these are,
of course, allocated to the
District Of Columbia.
Outside the Government
employees, there are many
others who came here from
the States. All Of these can
retain their franchise in the
State from which they came.
If they move into another
State they would lose their
franchise in the first State.
But that is not true when
they come into the District.
In that case they do not
acquire franchise in the Dis
trict, for that is a vacuum,
so far as franchise is con-
ceghed. This writer has been
sojourning in the District for
80 years. He has retained
his legal residence in a
Western State and has con-
tinued to vote there, though
he has been back there only
twice in 80 years.
From the foregoing it would
appear that the only dis
franchised. Second-class cit
liens" here are the natives
. those born here.
We have a good govern
ment now. The Commission
ers areconf1rmed by the Sem
ate and every citizen can
have a voice and full hearing
before the Senate committee
on the selection of Commits
sioners. Everyone has an OPP
portunity to be heard by the
Commissioners on matters of
Importance before tn e m.
There are nine members of
the Senate District Commit
tee and IS on the House Com
mittee. Thirty-four members
of Congress, ready and will
ing to be of service to Dis
trict residents. And the home
rulers would trade that for
one voteless delegate in Con-
gress. We now have more
voice in the government than
We would have under the
proposed home rule. Let we'll
enough alone!

Democratic National chair
man Paul M. Butler, like the
coon in the tree which said to
Davy Crockett, Don't shoot,
Colonel. I'll come down." has
capitulated (at least for the
time being to the Demo-
cratic leadership of the Con-
gress.
In an hour-long conference
with Senator Lyndon john
son and Speaker Sam Ray
burn, both of Texas, Mr.. But
Ter apparently has agreed to
cease his sharp-shooting at
a leadership which he in
sisted did not please the
great majority of the Demo-
Gratis.
Mr.. Butler, however, is
unpredictable. He may burst
forth again. But for the time
being at least, he is in agree
ment-on the surface-with
the congressional leaders.
Indeed, he said (aS he did
originally that he expects
this Democratic Congress to
present to the voters next
year a record on which his
party can win an election.
All this does not alter the
fact that Mr.. Butler, in his
television and radio appear
ances over a three-week pc
Rod, was shipping at the Dem
ocratic leadership on Capitol
Hill. His evident aim was to
pressure Senator Johnson,
Majority Leader of the Sem
ate, to change his tactics and
fight for an ultraliberal pro-
gram of legislation and APP
preparation.
Mr.. Buffers contention has
been that the 1858 congress
Sional elections constituted a
mandate for the enactment of
such a program. 1t undoubt-
eddy still is his belief. He and
his liberal supporters, in
Congress and out, were dis
pleased because tor
johnson was willing to make
some concessions, some COM
promises, to get legislation
ugh the Senate and
House and have it approved
by Presiil.it Eisenhower, the
Republican Chief Executive
in the White House with the
veto club in his hand.
Things Got Too Hot
Criticism of Mr.. Buffers
tactics, that he was dividing
the Democratic Party and
playing into Republican
hands, became harsh. In some
quarters his scalp was de-
manded. He replied in kind,
declaring that his enemies
were seeking to throw him
out o. tciIe national chairman
ship in order to install a
Democratic Senator from the
West" Things became too
hot for Mr.. Butler, however,
and he sought the interview
with the congressional lead
erS.
After that conference, al
three men soft-pedaled the
idea that there had beer
any serious ructions. Theil
comments were innocuous in
view of the fires which had
come to the surface. And
the press was blamed for the
interpretations which had
been placed on Mr.. Buffers
remarks.

device. 1t does not change the

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Joe told me I was wrong, "

say anything to him about it. "
Jones knew something he

So he told him.
The other thanked him
and then Stunned him.
Joe was right. Old Joe is

Everybody knows the plain
dangers Of being truthful in
our big human world. 1t
brings trouble on you, indeed.
but sometimes it is necessary.
This hurts me worse than
it does you," said the old
fashioned father, as he APP
piled the hairbrush or paddle.
There are two kinds of
daily truth, ones own truth,
and the truth about other
people.
1t is in the second category
that danger enters. The truth
seems to be that most peo-
pie do not like the truth.
They fear it, perhaps, and
maybe with reason. We
shrink from the unpleasant.

This is the real truth. and
any one who steps into the
ranks of i'll bringers does so
at his own risk.
He knows the danger. and
yet now and then his liking
for some one is so large that
he risks it.
We are not speaking here
of the i'll tellers for the sake
of i'll will. These raScals know
what they do, and rejoice in.
the trouble they cause.
1t is the honest man who
now and then thinks it his
duty to tell the plain truth
to another who deserves I'M

The majority of human
beings not only shrink from
this task, but usually shun
it, feeling that this is the
best line of conduct, every
thing considered.
Perhaps it is. Few of us
are ever in a position to
judge in such matters. We
cannot know the ms and
outs of the lives of the per-
sons involved.

Born Too Soon

My birthday is coming up
soon, a sad occasion, so got
to cogitating on how unfor-
tunate I have been. True, I
had mighty fine parents
always had enough to eat,
lived in our own home, had
a "best dress" which l wore
to Sunday School, and all
that, but I was born too soon.
When I attended Grant
School, no free lunches were
given to me; no free support
use my father and
mother were willing to work.
My own two children also
attended Grant School, and
they came home to their
lunches, prepared by me, and
provided by their father.
When they were sick, no free
hospital beckoned them.

Relations With Cuba

The tense political Situa-
ton in Cuba and subsequent
reactions in the United
States are causing clouds of
misunderstanding, misinfor-
nation, prejudice and be-
wilderment to obscure rela-
tionships between the two
countries. l am certain that
no responsible person on
either side of the Straits of
Florida wishes disruption of
a long and warm friendship.
In this spirit, the Cuban
Council of Protestan t
Churches, on July Is, issued
the following statement:
THE Cuban Council of
Protestant Churches wishes
to express its gratefulness
for the religious liberty
now enjoyed by the
quarter of million Protes-
tants who dwell in Cuba. 1t
also is in full agreement with
the efforts the Revolutionary
government is making to graft
into the life of the nation
the Christian principles Of
liberty, equality and the
brotherhood of man with
out distinction of race, cul-
ture, religious affiliation or
economical position.
%. We pray that the peo-
pies of both countries exer-
else to the utmost the Christ
ian virtues patience, humility
and good will in order to pre-
serve and further strengthen
the fraternal and democratic
ties that have for years bound
the two nations together.
Loyal always to the truth,
this council categorically re-
flutes as erroneous all state
ments and insinuations made
for the purpose of placing the
present Revolutionary Gov
eminent of Cuba within the
orbit of communism. Because
of its genuine democratic and
sui generiS Cuban aspects,
the Cuban Revolution is
openly against all totalitarian
concepts of government. . :"
