been mentioned in the press. That is
the question of whether the Admins
tration is really trying to keep prices
down, or whether it seeks to keep
profits up for certain favored groups
in the economy.
The fight over high interest rates
is a classic example of the double
standard in American politics. The
President, as all know, has month
after month talked about reducing the
cost of government. Now he suddenly
wants to raise the ceiling on the in
terest paid on bonds, purchased by
the large commercial banks. This is
a real "Budget-buster''. The higher
rate, of course, comes right out of
the taxpayers pocket and it costs
billions.
But-we are told-there is an i'm
portant theory involved. 1t is that
keeping interest rates high would
have the effect of making money
eight in the marketplace. People,
it is argued, would then not buy fool
ishly.
But at the very moment the Ad-
is engaged in propagan-
dizing for a tighter money policy, it
is also working behind the scenes
for plan to permit the big banks to
reduce the amount of reserves they
must keep on hand to meet depositor
demands.
In other words, bank that now
keeps So in its vaults for every $40
it has outstanding, might now keep
only ST.. The result is to free an
extra dollars worth of credit for
lending. But the question becomes:
At what rate of interest?
The Administrator land lots of
Democrats, too) favor in
creasing the interest cost to the Gus
toner who is borrowing from his
banker. And the same customer, as
a taxpayer, is also passing along
higher interest rates to the banker
when the banker "1ends" money to
the government. So you get it coming
and going.

PABLUM FOR THE PUBLIC

Hypocrisy in high places is nothing
unusual and the inclination of the
press corps to pretty everything up
where big names are involved is also
commonplace here in the Capital.
But this week the ancient habit of
kidding some of the people most of
the time has been carried about as
far as it can go.
Take the following episode
The President and Segregation
Of all the exaggerated stories that
have come out of here in recent years
those blaring headlines about Presi-
dent Eisenhower coming out strongly
against segregation as immoral
were the most misleading. The Presi-
dent was reluctant as ever to express
himself on the moral issue. This was
the entire exchange at his weekly
news conference:
Q-(William H. Lawrence, N. Y.
TIMES): Mr.. President, quite apart
from the legalisms of the situation,
Mr.. President, have you any opinion
as to whether racial segregation is
morally wrong?
A.-(The President): Myself?
Q-Yes, sir.
A-Well, 1 suppose there are GER
tain phases of segregation, you are
talking about, 1 suppose segregation
by local laws
ON public facilities.
A-(The President continuing) In
other words that interfere with the
citizens equality of opportunity in
both the economic and political fields?
Q-Yes, sir.
Al think, to that extent, that is
wrong, yes.

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS

What is distressing about this whole
situation is that the Democratic ''lead-
ership'' in the Congress won't even
let the party make this national is
sue. Yet on the question of interest
rates, there is wide gulf between
Republicanism and liberal Democracy.
This failure to develop issues is the
kind of thing National Chairman Paul
Butler had in mind when he castigated
Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn
for their lack of aggressiveness.

HIGH INTEREST AND INITIATION

If you think the Presidents re-
marks hardly sounded like a man
afire with indignation over segrega-
tion you would be right. He could
barely bring himself to discuss the
subject and he seemed upset that Re-
porter Lawrence, close friend,
should have been the one to ask it.
But if this episode was played out
of all proportion, another example of
hypocrisy in high places has barely

Fate of YeIowtuiI, East Bench--

A couple of months ago the Senator
arranged for pilots to present their
complaints to Chairman Mike Mon
roney (D-Okla.) of the Commerce
Subcommittee on Aviation and Off
cials of the Bureau of Customs and
the immigration and Naturalization
Service. 1t was brought out that pilots
coming in from Canada on Sundays
or holidays are charged up to $48 for
a short inspection. Then, under
wierd accounting procedure, the first
pilot in on holiday or Sunday pays
the full charge, second man half and
so on, after which refunds are made
so the total take is no more than one
mans pay for day on overtime.
The immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service, which sometimes likes
to peek aboard these planes too, de-
cided it would quit levying these
charges. The Bureau of Customs de-
INJURED, asked time to study.
Last week the Bureau advised Sen
ator Murray it was considering levy
Sunday and holiday inspections. How
ever, the Bureau first wants to see if
the General Accounting Office thinks
flat charge, levied on a nationwide
basis, would be legal

The Montana Congressional dele
cation commended Russell's work to
the United States Information Agen-
cy last spring, and was told that only
work painted in the past 40 years
or so'' was being considered by the
US. selection committee.
Last week, under criticism, the Sc
lection committee changed its policy
and started looking for art of an
earlier period. Senator Murray moved
in promptly, on behalf of the delega-
ton. to remind USIA of Charlie and
offer the delegations help in getting
a sample of his work to the exhibition
scheduled to begin July 25. At weeks
end USIA was on the phone to Sena-
tor Murray's office and Fred Renner,
the Russell expert who lives in Wash
ington, trying to work something out.
Charlie, like Yellowtail and Clark
Canyon, was in limbo over the week
end.
GET THOSE CARS BACK
The Senate Commerce Committee
has approved the bill, cosponsored by
Magnuson (D-Wash.), Murray and
Mansfield in the Senate and Metcalf
and Anderson in the House, which |
would direct the Interstate Commerce
Commission to assess larger per diem
charges on railroads which use cars
belonging to other lines. Idea behind |
this is to encourage more car produc-
tion and help relieve the perennial car
shortage out West.
In his testimony on the House side,
speaking for Congressman Metcalf as
well as himself, Congressman Ander-
son said the present low per diem
charge ($2.75 per day. 'puts a pre-
MUM on the practice of renting a

President Harold Fellows Of
the National Association of

the television quiz scandals,
said yesterday: You can't get
rid of it by saying it's just show
business"
But he said some revision in
the NAB code of good practices
"will take care of the situation"
and that Federal action is not
needed.
Mr.. Fellows, of Washington,

Equally so, we are not unmind-
full of the responsibilities to our

statement. While this probably
would be permitted in closed
session. Mr.. Van Doren is be-

Mr.. Van Doren and his at

New York yesterday they have

Subcommittee officials re-
ported no knowledge of such a

Mr.. Van Doren early this week

a closed session. In any event,
they said, it would not be an

refuses to reveal the names of
possible witnesses, including
several already subpoenaed. 1t
was explained today that this
is not merely to discourage out

show contestants, producers,
sponsors and others but also
because the subcommittee has
many more possible witnesses
than 1t can call at hearings.

We can be good citizens. We can vote
honestly in every election. We can take
an active interest in the. affairs of our
city, county, state, and country. We car
be wafchful, but not suspicious, that
our liberties are moi abused by those
in responsible places. To do this, we
must fight the indifference and selfish
ness that is in US all.
1t is obvious that we cannot be I'M
selfish and devoted to true liberty, un-
less we are religious. Liberty and free
dom mean nothing except in relation to
the law of God. And here Catholics have
a great contribution to make. Here
Catholics have a decided advantage over
many other citizens. because we know
why We are here, where we are going,
and how we are to get there.
Catholics then have a grave respon-
sibiIity TO be jealous in the practice of
the Faith, not only from personal mo-
fives but for patriotic ones. The late
Bishop Ready once wrote: I'VE shall
serve our country best by first serving
Cod"
All thirty-three of our chief execu-
tiveS have reminded us to ask divine
help on national holidays. President
Eisenhower is no exception, for he al
ways introduces a note of prayer in his
proclamations to help find the solution
for the difficulties which face us.
In doing so, he has followed the
example of the sieners of the DeeIara-
tion of independence who appealed TO
The Supreme Judge of the World and
who pledged themselves with a firm re-
lance on the protection of Divine provi-
dence" TO the task that awaited them.
All loyal Americans should join in
prayer tomorrow for our civil officials.
Catholics, in particular, would do well
to offer Mass with the priest that all
citizens of the United States will find
the strength to pledge their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred honor, in pre-
serving the principals of the Declara-
ton of independence. - GAF

Those we're Sc courageous Ameri-
can who signed the Declaration of In
dependence 1873 years ago tomorrow.
They we're making one of the most
fateful decisions in the history of the
world: they were setting themselves
against the most powerful nation of
their time, they we're going to face the
largest eXpenditionary force England
ever sent, they were to meet the might
lest navy afloat.
Yet despite all this, they we're will
ing TO declare the United States of
America free and independent and take
the consequences. And this in order TO
secure for themselves and their descen-
dents the inaIienabIe rights of equality
before God, life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness.
The signing of the Declaration of In
dependence brings to mind a document
which has been termed ''the most won
derful work eVer struck off at a given
moment by the hand and purpose Of
man" But we should be particularly
mindful of the ideals contained in that
declaration. We see that they are so
IOIAIlQl. 81 pei llllCllls dIlo SO Odoi1 tlld
there has been no need to alter those
principals in any way.
The task of Americans today is TO
see TO ii that those ideals are preserved
and applied in our country. This should
be taken for granted, but unfortunately
there are those who would destroy our
way of life because they are dedicated
TO a teaching which is in direct conflict
with the principals of our forefaihers.
When Americans experience a GER
tain patriotic fervor every Fourth of
July they usually have difficulty avoid
ing vague, ineffective resolutions which
weaken and dissipate themselves in a
short time. And yet we ought to do
something as individuals to keep our
country on the highest level. So let's be
practical. For most of us the chance Of
doing something great in this matter
is very remote.
But we can do something positive.
