Hardy HoodIums

The New York-New Jersey Water
front Commission is challenging, in eff
feet, the claim of the AFL-CIO that the
international Longshoremen's ASSocia-
ton has mended its evil ways and has
become a respectable labor union. With
in the past fortnight, the federation's
executive council announced that 1t had
found tremendous improvement" in the
administration and behavior Of the
dockworkers' union and that it was rec
ommending its return to AFL-C1O aff1li-
alton on probationary basis
The bi-state commission, in its an
nual report, did not comment directly
on the federation finding but what it
says amounts to "go Slow warning.
Created largely for the very purpose OF
cleaning up the crime and corruption
that has plagued this worlds greatest
shipping center, the commission an
nounced that it had been conducting
an intensive investigation" of water
front conditions during the past year
and that "facts already gathered indi-
cate that hoodlurns may still exercise
influence :. F.. the waterfront continues
to provide lucrative opportunities for
criminals and racketeers :. loan sharks,
pilferers, payroll padderS, bookmakers
and policy peddlers still operate wher-
ever they can" Furthermore, the COM
mission said that the lila has sought
to Illustrate the agency's cleanup drive,
and indicated that the inquiry will
be continued this fall through public
hearings.
1t is possible that the probationary
conditions which the federation has
proposed as the price for lila readmis-
sion will have some effect in forcing
real or greater reforms in the suspect
union. This may be only hope, how
ever, and there are public interests at
stake which make it essential that there
be more than facade to this new look
of responsibility. The lila right now is
engaged in contract talks with At
lantic and Gulf Coast waterfront en-
ployerS. The result should not be an
enforced bargain between business and
the underworld.

been blamed on inexperience of boat
operators.
Results Of the study should be of
interest to the Maryland General AS
sembly, which neglected at its session
earlier this year to adopt State pro-
gram for the licensing of small power
boats, under provisions of the Federal
small-boating registration law. That
law was adopted in an effort to promote
water safety for outboarders and other
operators Of craft less than l6 feet
long-none of whom were under Coast
Guard regulation. The Legislature at
its next session will have another OPP
portunity to set up the States own con-
troll program. Unless 1t does so, the
control authorized by Federal law will
be exercised by the Coast Guard-which
does not have the facilities required for
effective enforcement of marine rules
of the road" among the thousands OF
small craft owners.

According to Eugene Da-
wilson ("Denies That Negro
Leaders Shrug Of Street
Crimes" Star, August 26)
there is no Negro commu-
nifty in the Nations Capital,
but only a Washington COM
munity composed of all races.
There is in the Nations
Capital, however, an outfit
called the w shington
Branch of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement
of Colored People, of which
Mr.. Davidson is a former
president. If there is no Ne
gro community, or commu-
nifty of colored people, in the
Nations Capital, perhaps Mr..
Davidson will tell us just
who or what it is that the
Washington Branch of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People is trying to advance.

Veto Against InfIotion

Two basic issues appear to be in
VolVed in President EiSenhower's veto of
the $12-billion public works bill. One is
purely budgetary. On this point the
President has justified his disapproval
on the grounds that the measure would
add unrecommended projects costing
$50 million to fiscal 1860 expenditures
and, more Importantly, would commit
the Government to projects eventually
costing $500 million. The second objec-
ton is based upon his opinion that the
habit of lacking on numerous unbudg-
eted works projects is harmful ito the
proper development of these (water)
resources themselves" ,..........
At this time of making a vigorous
effort to control Federal expenditures
essential in the overall fight against
inf1ationary preSSures-the Presidents
budgetary argument is highly persua-
sive one. Works projects already under
way involve record-high $1.1-billion
expenditure in the current fiscal year
and ultimately will cost Sc billion for
completion. Many of these also were
unbudgeted originally, and these repre-
sent nearly 1913 billion of the total figure.
This practice, as the President pointed
out in his veto. message, illustrates "how
easily effective control of Federal spend
ing can be lost"
As a matter of practical politics,
however, the President no doubt Is fully
aware that this device for spreading
Federal funds around the country tradi-
tionally has been favorite in Congress.
In sense, it offers something to every
body and it Is easy for the legislators to
equate the "needs" in their own areas
with great tolerance for similar I'M
dertakings in other regions. On this
basis, the presidential veto faces a
serious threat of being over-ridden-
despite the fact that he acted in the
national interest.

they stop, facing each other,
and with slight, rapid side
ways movements they rub
and click their bills together.
Suddenly one raises its
beak to the sky with a low
pitched cry, or opens and
closes its bill, swapping the
upper and lower mandibles
together with a pronounced
clicking sound. Then the two
birds continue clicking their
bills together and the dance
begins again.
From time to time both
birds bow to each other. the

Nehru and Red China

There can be little doubt that Prime
Minister Nehru is engaged in an "ago-
nizing reappraiSal" of midas policy to-
ward Red China. Throughout the years
Of the cold war, he has been the chief
voice of "neutralism" and "non-align-
ment" in Asia. Walking a kind of myS-
tical tightrope between East and West,
he has held his government aloof from
the opposing military blocs, and he has
seemed at times-even to his own coun-
trymen-to be naively tolerant of the
sins of international communism.
More particularly, having in mind
the geographical location of India, Mr..
Nehru has spared no effort over the
years to cultivate friendly relations with
the Mao Tze-tung regime in Peiping. To
that end, for example, he has consist
emily taken leading role in advocating
Red China'S admission as a member of
the United Nations, and he has done
numerous other things in behalf Of
the Chinese Communists. But now his
past generous attitude toward them has
been gravely shaken. This is so because
they have gone out Of their way in re-
cent months to push him off his "neu-
traliSt" tightrope. Not content with their
slaughter of Tibet (the Asian Hungary,
or their preSSures against the states of
Bhutan and Sikkirn, or their support of
the "rebelS" in Laos, they have commit
ted acts of military violence against
Indian territory along the disputed
northern frontier.
Mr.. Nehru himself has branded these
acts as aggression" in continuing"
form, and although he has discounted
the possibility that they may presage an
about invasion, he has made clear that
India will defend its territory land Bhu-
tan and Sikkim as well) against any
attack. More than that, Suiting the &C
ton to the word, he has ordered the
Indian army to move into appropriate
positions for that purpose. He still
hopes, of course, that he will be able,
through diplomatic representations, to
persuade the Chinese Communists to
withdraw from the areas they have
entered, but he has indicated a vast
sense of disilluSionment about their
good faith and Intentions. His position
ceedingly precariouS, and some OF his
country'S most influential newspapers
have begun to suggest that he ought to
abandon "neutraliSm" and align his
government with the defenses of the
free world.
Perhaps the most battling question
involved in all this has to do with why
the Chinese Communists have thus re-
paid Mr.. Nehru's many kindneSses with
moves that seem deliberately calculated
to ALLEVIATE him. Certainly, If they push
him too far, or If their frontier agrees
sion against India becomes major
territorial violation, he will have no
choice but to condemn them without
his usual equivocations. In that case,
the whole of neutralist Asia would be
profoundly affected, and hardly to Pei
pings advantage.

The Fervent and Obsessed

Senator Neuberger says he is a
"fervent'' advocate of home rule. That
means, according to the PSYCHOLOGISTS,
that the Senator is ardent, very jealous
or earnest, fervid or vehement, when it
comes to the advocacy Of home rule.
On the other hand, the Senator has
discovered, to his obvious diSmay, that
there is virtual obSeSSion with home
rule" in the District. That means that
those so obsesSed are vexed, beSieged,
harassed or beset with the idea, as by an
evil spirit; they are morbidly dominated
by the thought of home rule, as by the
thought of death.
This eerie condition is particularly
obnoxious to the Senator when it
prompts newspaper reporters to ask new
members Of Congress, such as Repre-
sentative Inouye~o of Hawaii, what they
think about home rule, only to be criti-
cized if their answers fail to satisfy those
obsesSed by home rule. For, as the-Sen-
ator dismally reported to his brother
Senators, "A1 Of us are addicted to tag
lines. But the oversimplification inher-
ent in labels such as home rule leads to
unfair assessment of men and misun-
Outstanding of issues"
We agree with the Senator We
hope that his tagging himself with the
label of "fervent advocate" of home rule
will not lead others to assess him as one
who has been trapped by tag lines into
the belief that home rule for the District
of Columbia, as defined in pending leg
islation, has something to do with self
government, representative government,
or government of the people, by the
people and for the people. For its con-
nection with such principles is indeed
remote. We are glad to note, inciden-
tally, that this brand-new member of
Congress, Mr.. Inouye, refused to tag
himself as "fervent advocate" of home
rule and remains intelligently skeptical
until he knows precisely what it means.
That is more than some of his COL
leagues, here long time, seem to have
been willing to do.
