Lines Drawn for Bottle

Against a background OF bitterly
contradictory assertions and the unusual
spectacle of cosponsors of the pending
legislation being in disagreement, the
Senate has plunged into the controver-
sial issue of labor reform.
First major test on the subject will
come early next week when the chamber
will vote on an amendment offered by
Senator Erwin, North Carolina Demo-
crat and coSponSor, to delete from the
bill section containing labor-approved
revisions of the Taft-Hartley Act. The
disputed section, Title W.. would permit
displaced strikers to vote in representa-
ton elections and would loosen regu-
lations on building trades unions. Pres
ident Meany of the AF'L-CIO already has
threatened that the Federation will OPP
pose the bill If Title vi is eliminated.
Senator Kennedy, Massachusetts, Demo-
crat and original sponsor of the legisla-
ton, has warned that any revision on
the floor poses grave risk" of killing
all prospect for reform action.
Along with this controversy Within
controversy, there is the broader dispute
on whether the pending measure offers
any effective reform at all. Mr.. Kennedy
says it will "do the job" and that if
passed "the Jimmy HoffaS and their ilk
will be on the way out" Senator Gold
water, Arizona Republican, describes the
Kennedy bill as completely inadequate"
and has offered an analysis critical of
virtually every section. Senator McClel-
Ian, Arkansas Democrat whose special
committee has uncovered some of the
worst of the corrupt union practices,
has offered five propoSals-not in the
Kennedy bill-which he says represent
"the minimum that is required to pro-
vide an adequate legislative remedy for
conditions that now prevail" Among the
Mcclellan recommendations are prohi-
billions against secondary boycottS and
blackmail picketing-two high-priority
recommendations in the administra-
tons labor reform program.
1t is obvious that the political power
of labor is apt to be the determining
factor in whether there is to be reform
legislation this year, and, if so, what its
final shape will be. In the long term,
however, labor'S special interests are in
extricably related to the general welfare
rather than to the corrupt designs of
those whom Senator Mcclellan has de-
scribed as brutal, cynical men to whom
unionism means only royal road to
personal riches and power" Whether in
one legislative package or more, Con-
gresS should find the courage to serve
these real interests.

Monty to Moscow

The somewhat unpredictable Field
Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Brit
ain has taken it upon himself to ask the
Kremlin for an invitation to visit the
USSR, and the Kremlin has promptly
replied that he will be most heartily
welcome. AS a result, he will leave late
this month for Moscow to discuss East
West tensions with the Russians, includ-
ing Premier KhruShcnev.
To put it mildly, most British news
papers have taken decidedly dim view Of
this project, and they have told Monty
in no uncertain terms that they think
he ought to stay home. Apparently they
are fearful that his congenital outspok.

ton at time, old chap, when everybody

Geneva. AS for the Foreign Office in
London, it seems to feel the same way
about the matter, although it has been
very circumSpect and discreet in Sug-
costing that the Field Marshal would
have done a wiser and nobler thing if
he had decided to take trip to Ber-
muda, the Lesser Antilles, Easter Island,
Las Vegas, or some place like that.
Monty himself, however, feels diff
ferent. AS he has put it, 81 want to
talk with these Russians and see what
they think about it ALL" He's sure that
the encounter will not make interna-
tional tensions any worse than they are
already, and maybe he's right. Maybe,
in his own rather diSconcerting way, he
will help to improve the situation. Any
how, although that seems improbable at
the moment, let's wait and see.

Let's Get 1t Done

More than five months after the
event, closely divided az to ~ House
Administration Committee has voted
for an investigation of the defeat in
Arkansas of Representative Brooks Hays
by write-in, prosegregation candidate,
Dale Afford.
In all probability this will turn out
to be politically motivated investiga-
ton and a waste of time. For while
there may have been election law viola
lions in the bitter Little Rock aftermath
(thiS is being investigated by Federal
grand jury) no charges have been made
against Dr. Afford personally. Thus, If
his election should be set aside, special
election would have to be held and in
all probability he would be returned to
the House.
There are two considerations, how
ever, which argue for an investigation.
One is the strong emotional aspect of
this election. The other is the fact that
Mr. Hays had been a highly respected
member of the House for Is years. If
fraud brought about his defeat, that fact
should be established Enough time has
passed, however, and we think the inves-
tigation should be pressed energetically
and brought to an early conclusion.

Our Grovest Crisis

Senator Fulbright'S speech to the
American Society of Newspaper Editors
was keyed low and was in keeping with
the thoroughly nonpartiSan" approach
he intends to adopt as chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee. Never
theleSS, it was talk which contained
some thought-prodding comments on
the national and foreign scenes.
Mr. Fulbright thinks our "graveSt
crisis" will not be found in Berlin, but
within ourselves. In saying this he has
in mind such things as our lack of
"clear concept" of our role in the world,
our sense of psychological remoteness,"
our failure to develop "a coherent, real
iStic national point of view toward the
world and our place in it." These add
up, in the judgment of the Arkansas
Senator, to grave weakness on our part
at a time when so much of the world
is being swept by an irresistible revolu-
ton, upon which the Communists are
feeding.
What can be done? 1t is at this
point, it seems to us, that the Fulbright
formula, as with so many others, begins
to grow fuzzy.
The Senator urges, and in this he
manifestly is right, that we must do what
we can do to protect the 20th-century
revolution from the Communists and
give it chance to develop along con-
structive lines. But doing this, he says,
will require more intelligent assess
ment of real values on the part OF our
people. We must learn to distinguish
between the gadgetS of our age and the
things we must have to survive. When
we learn this we will get the latter.
Again, however, there pops up the queS-
ton: How will we learn?
Senator Fulbright concluded by
quoting a comment by an liable OBJ
server two years ago. What the leaders
of the West think they cannot afford,
this observer said, "is the political cour-
age to demand of their peoples the sac
rif1ceS necessary to protect and promote
their interests under the condition of
atomic peace. In a word, the deficit is
political and moral-not economic and
financial"
Senator Fulbright did not identify
this able observer. We assume, however,
that if he was in public life two years
ago he is not around today. For the
horizon which we see is not dominated
by any public figure, especially any
public figure seeking election, who is
demanding that the people make the
sacrifices Senator Fulbright has in mind.
Maybe he will start the ball rolling.

Spelling Problem

Your editorial on the SPELL
ing of Veirs Mill versus
Viers Mill was of interest to
me because the Pierce War
wick Adoption Service of the
Washington Home for
Foundlings has encountered
a similar problem.
The will bequeathing funds
to the Washington Home for
Foundlings bears the sigma
ture Peirce Warwick, yet the
plaque in the former build
ing reads Pierce. conse-
quently the executive di-
rector, Mrs. Alexander, used
this spelling on the letter
head. The telephone listing
reads Peirce Warwick Adop-
ton Service, thus compound
ing the problem. The mill in
Rock Greek Park which was
owned by Mr.. Warwick'S
brother is spelled Pierce Mill.
The thought has occurred
to me that possibly some Of
the members of the preced-
ing generations may have
been a little more careless in
their adherence to the SPELL
ing rules than we have been
led TO think.

Speaking of Impact

The impact of an administration
proposed cutoff of Federal aid to schools
in areas of rapid Government growth
would be as serious as the impact which
such expansion has had on schools in
the Washington area and elsewhere. 1t
is true that the aid-to -impacted- schools
program was designed originally to help
local communities bear the extra finan-
cial burdens resulting from wartime or
other emergency increases in Federal
employment. And in some parts OF
the country the need for such aid no
doubt has diminished or passed. But
the Washington Metropolitan Area is
still feeling the effects Of continued
governmental growth. 1t is too early
to consider any drastic reduction in
impact" aid here.
The suggestion that impact aid to
schools in the Washington suburbs ought
to be halted was contained in testimony
given recently by Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Flemming before the
House Appropriations Committee. Mr..
Flemming said he will recommend soon
that these communities be eliminated
from the aid program, on the ground
that the need no longer exists Such
cutoff, however, would be grossly I'M
just to Virginia and Maryland areas
which still are faced with inflated Scnool
enrollmentS as a result of the steady
growth of the Federal establishment.
The ill-adviSed dispersal policy has
brought Federal building boom reach
ing out as far as Germantown in Mont
gomery County (Atomic Energy Com
misSion) and Langley in Fairfax County
Central Intelligence Agency. Mean
while, the Bureau of Standards and
other agencies also are looking beyond
the District line for building sites.
Clearly, the time for elimination of
the Washington area from the aid-to-
impacted-SchoolS program has not yet
arrived. To cut of the S85 million
which schools in Northern Virginia and
nearby Maryland receive each year from
the Federal Government would be to
cripple the communities involved and
set back education. Most of these juris-
