PRIVILEGED

IL lS ABOUT time that we in these Islands begin
to grow up and accept the facts Of life without going to
great lengths to pretend that we are thin skinned. If we
are to help prove that we are fit people to govern our
selves, and to share full responsibility for our own des-
tiny, then certainly we must deport ourselves in a
manner in keeping with these realities.
EVERY NOW AND a 6 ain, and much too
often, citizens take sharp exception to any fact what
ever which may not make good reading, or is not com
plimentary to the extent we would like. Years ago some
one mentioned, as a cold statistic, the percentage Of
~illigitimacy, and too many Of US missed the point, took
up arms, and slashed in all directions. Nothing whatever
was done either to disprove the facts (which they could
not bel or even to help correct the situation. And on and
on we could 60.
BUT THEN THE matter gets down to the childish
and simple phase of life. There is an accident and the
newspapers report it. That is offensive. A citizen is fined
for some m~isdemeanor, and the matter is reported, and
again tenpers get awfully thin.
IT IS NEVER a cherished sight to note ones name
in print In connection with a matter not Of the Hottest
nature. But on the other hand, what is fair for one is
fair for all, and an event becomes new when it takes
place and affects the public, directly or indirectly. That
is so clear that it is bewilderng why everyone does not
see it.
ASAMATTER Of policy, and in the name Of right
and fair play, certain offenders should not demand that
their excursions against the law should not be noted
publicly, but instead that a special place Of privilege
should be reserved for them. Nobody should make such
unreasonable demands Of his fellow citizens.

A new dance group is in
the making in Washington.
Designed to include certain
features no other subscrip-
ton dances now offer. the
series will include five parties
in all during the ls59-60
season.
To be called the Saturday
Evening Dances. they will be
held at the Sulgrave Club
October 10. November IA,
January 8, February Is and
March IL. Music will be
supplied alternately by Mey-
er Davis and Sidney.
Handsome, white-haired
New England publisher Noel
Macy, who owns one Of the
most attractive Federal
houses in Georgetown. is
chairman of the group. Mem
bers of his committee are
Jean and Betty Caillouet. the
Slocum Kingsburys, Jack Lo-
gan, Noel's wife Elena Macy,
Jim Mann, Gary and Ruth
Van Arkel, Rab and Janet
Wilson and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bernard Wyckof.
Since one of the main ideas
behind this new series is to
free members from having to
give predance dinner parties
when they want to make up q
table of particular friends.
each of the parties will be a
dinner dance.
THE SATURDAY EVE
MING DANCES will end early
too. Since everybody will be
there from dinner on. this
should be easy. Most big
dances in Washington reach
their peak period between
midnight and 2 am. because
late dinner parties delay the
arrival of all the guests until
close to IL. The Saturday
Dinner Dances should reach
their gayest ballroom peak
between 10 and 1890 when
Home Sweet Home" will be
played.
Dutch treat cocktails will
be served at the club at z
preceding the dinner, which
will begin at 8 sharp. The
dinner will be served at tables
in the ballroom which will be
cleared for dancing while
members are having coffee in
the other rooms.
Another thing planned is
conformity in dance groups
which will not last longer
than Z or 8 minutes. If the
group starts of with a waltz.
it will continue with that
type of dance for the full Z
or 8 minutes, so that if a
man invites a partner to
twirl to three-quarter time,
he is not suddenly forced to
switch to a cha cha cha
which he may perform with
two left feet.
This group was smart to
pick Saturday night. This is
probably the freest night of
the week in Washington, and
since the parties will be over
at 1890, the blue law won't
hamper their style. The more
energetic nightowls can con-
tinue the gayety at someone's
private home.

House Labor Chief
 Tells Union Heads Hands Off Hearings
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE

WASHINGTON, R - Repre- sentative Graham A. Barden D- NC) today accused representa- tives of organized labor of trying to take over" the House Labor Committee in the drafting of la bor control legislation.
 Barden. the labor committee chairman, made his charge before the House Rules Committee in asking that the House be per mitted to debate the legislation with no gag or parliamentary strings.
 Denouncing labor union repre- sentatives for what he called rep rehensible actions during the con- mittee's six weeks of bill-drafting sessions, Barden declared: "Hof fa'S folks and the AFL-CIO have sought to move in and take over the chairmanship and run the committee.
 II have been many years in the House, but this has been the most trying experience I have had in my life"
 Representative Charles A. Hal leck of Indiana and Senator Ev- erett M. Dirksen of Illinois, the two leaders, said they strongly recommended to the President at a breakfast meeting that he "con- vey to the country his impression of labor abuses" as disclosed in Senate hearings.
 Barden said labor racketeers have "usurped more power to themselves than a bad man should have, and more power than a god man should want"
 Likening the racketeering union members to head hunters, Barden said: T have never been able to stand being pushed around, and never intend to stand for it."
 Yet, Barden went on, that philo- sophy is spreading in this coun- try and is as vicious as the venom of a rattlesnake."
 Barden told the committee he has never seen as much public in- terest in labor legislation since the days of passage of the Taft Hartley Labor-Management Rela- tions Law.

 The bill passed the House Mon day.
 The present limit is 30O,000, acres for one person or corpora tion. Originally the Alaska dele gation had asked that the limit be set at one million acres.
 Testimony in support of the bill emphasized Alaska's vast area and transportation diffiiulties which make mineral exploration more expensive than in other states.

September l5 Is
 Expected Date of Khrushchev Visit

WASHINGTON, R - It now appears that Nikita Khrushchev will begin his momentous visit to the United States on Septem- Der Is.
 State Department officials said yesterday it is safe to assume the Soviet Premier will arrive here that day. They said they could not officially confirm that date, however, since the final word has to come from Khrushchev him self.
 Where Khrushchev will land in the United States depends on the type of airplane he will use, off cials said
 It is expected in any case, that he will come directly to Wash ington.
 Informants said that since Khrushchev is an official guest of the United States. his visit to Washington would by all means precede an eventual appearance elsewhere, such as the United Ma tions General Assembly in New York.
 This does not rule out the pos sibility that the Russian leader may address the General Assem- ply after his Washington visit.
 President Eisenhower men toned only September in announ- cing Monday that Khrushchev would come here, and that later in the fall he would return the Russians visit.
 A generally favorable reaction, both in this country and else where in the world, greeted Mon days announcement that Khrush- chev has accepted Eisenhower'S invitation to visit the United States next month.
 Many expressed hope that East West tensions would be eased if Khrushchev were impressed first hand with the nations strength and peaceful intentions.
 Communist China was notably absent from the chorus of praise on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
 Talks with Eisenhower and a 10-day tour of the country are among the plans for the Khrush- chev visit. Reports from Moscow said the Soviet Premier is ex- pected to bring along his wife, son and daughter.
 With most details still uncertain, there has been no announcement whether Mrs. Eisenhower will ac- company her husband to Europe

Transmission a Problem
Mr.. Bartholomew told the
editors there were many prob
lens in covering events in
Cuba and that it was IAN ex-
tremely difficult task" to bring
the story into focus. In some
instances, he said, it was neces-
sary to bring the UPI COR
respondent from Havana to
Miami to file a story. He added
that the story often was car
ried under a New York date
line to protect the correspond
ent.
Another participant in the
panel discussion was Walton
A. Cole, deputy general man
ager of Reuters, a European
news service, who said that
while the big news in the near
future will be centered in Eu-
rope, editors also should keep
an eye on Asia, where several
situations might explode into
big news stories.
FOresee New Demands
The press officials saw no
revolutionary changes in the
assembling and transmission
of news but they emphasized
that their work in the years
ahead will require higher de-
grees of skill and more special
lists trained in reporting world
events.
Mr.. Bartholomew suggested
that editors would find it would
pay dividends in the national
interest" for greater use of dis
patches from Latin. America.
At another panel discussion
yesterday afternoon the editors
sought unSuccessfully to get
some glimmering of news on
the possible Democratic and
Republican presidential candi-
dates in 1860.
Guests on the panel were
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler and Senator
Morton of Kentucky, making
his first public appearance as
the new chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee.
Appearing with them were
Senators Mansfield of Montana
and Muskie of Maine. for the
Democrats, and Goldwater of
Arizona and Scott of Pennsyl-
vania, for the Republicans.
1t was billed as "The Smoke
Filled Room" but the political
professionals exhibited a per-
vading reluctance to discuss
possible candidates..
Senator Morton was asked,
for example, if he considered
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New
York as IAN active candidate
for the presidency.

Speaks Out on Rights
Mr.. Butler was outspoken on
another touchy matter--the
issue of civil rights.
He predicted that the party's
1860 platform will stand behind
the Supreme Courts school de-
segregation decision and oppose
massive resistance.
His comments were brought
out by a question on whether
he no longer considered the
South important to the Demo-
cratic Party. Mr.. Butler en-
phasized that he had never
said nor implied that the DEM
ocratic Party was not inter-
ested in keeping the South
within its fold and added:
II believe the party must be
candid and honest with the
American people as to where 1t
