Politicians at Work

The Senate, already under fire for
some of its Office payroll practices, GER
tainly is not winning any friends with its
shabby treatment of Lewis L. Strauss.
1t has been almost five months
since Mr.. Strauss received his recess
appointment as Secretary of Commerce.
He should have been confirmed long
ago. But the end of the Strauss ordeal
is not yet in sight.
There seem to be two reasons for
this stalling. One Is the unrelenting an
imosity of handful of embittered Sem
ators. The other is the hope that some
partisan advantage can be squeezed out
of the situation if Mr.. Strauss is kept
dangling long enough. In neither case
is the Senate distinguishing itself.
If the embittered critics OF Mr..
Strauss have any substantial evidence
to show that he is not fitted for the
Commerce post they ought to come for
ward with it. II, they have no such evil
dence, the responsible Senate leaders
ought to move in and put stop to this
let-him-Suffer strategy.

A Rousinq Start

1t is breath-taking and alraoSt UNI
believable to see the Senators riding
high and handsome at the head of the
teams in the American League. Even
though our breathing is pretty certain
to return to normalcy before the 1859
season is over, it is extremely pleasant
to have the home team cavorting out
at Griffith Stadium like champions,
instead of underdogS, if only for one day.
And the Senators looked like real
baseball champions in yesterdays cere-
monious opening game. They were
swinging their bats with accuracy and
power, to the dismay of Oriole pitchers.
They were stealing bases la Ty Cobb
in his palmiest days. They were snatch
ing grounders and sharing flies in a
most comforting way for Pitcher Pedro
Rsmos-who was in top form himself.
All in all it was great day for every
body but our Baltimore neighborS.
Whatever happens from here on
out will be anticlimactic-unleSS, of
course, the f1red-up local club should
achieve the impossible by winning a

Congressional Ethics

Ohio'S Senator Young has created
something of stir by publishing a list
of his stock holdings. His purpose, he
said, was to make it possible for any in
tereSted person to judge whether there
is conflict-of-interest aspect to his
votes as Senator.
This action by the Ohio Democrat
probably will revive efforts, sponsored in
the past by Senators Morse and Douglas,
to require all Senators to make their
holdings public. But it does not seem
to us that there is much merit in these
projects.
A man is honest or he is not honest,
and this applies as well to Senators
as to the rest of us. For our part, we
do not believe that publication of stock
holdings is going to make an ethical
Senator out of dishonest man, and
there is certain inherent offenSiveness
in any suggestion to the contrary.
It is true, of course, that Congress
has required men coming into the ex-
ecutive branch not only to disclose their
holdings but to dispose of stocks, often
at loss, if a conflict of interest might
result from retaining them. But we
have not thought that there was much
merit in this, either. Most men in pub
lie life, we believe, are honest, and they
should not be subjected to the indignity
of proving" their integrity every time
they cast vote or sign contract.

The Seven Who Dare

Let us take note OF their names
Glenn, Schirra, Shepard, Slayton, Girls
som, Cooper and Carpenter. The day
will come in 1861 when one of these
seven young men (their average age is
3412 years. will be told that he is the
chosen one. Then, with the sleep of
the night before hardly out of his eyes,
he will put on special gear and climb
Into a space capsule on the nose of
huge Atlas-type missile. Next there will
be the nerve-racking countdown. And
finally, all of sudden, there will be
the blast-off, after which, if things go
according to plan, he will be orbiting
around the earth-100 or $50 miles up
at speed of about $4,000 miles an hour.
This young man, the first of our
Mercury Astronauts," will be sent up
there, of course, with the firm expecta-
ton that he will be brought back alive
and in good health within a certain
number of minutes or hours. In fact,
according to the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, there will be
no SenSeless perils, no derring-do reck-
leSSneSS, involved in his adventure. On
the contrary, as has been emphasized
by DR.. T. Keith Glennan, head of the
NASA, all the experts associated with
the project "are determined that the
risks to the pilot will be no greater than
those experienced during the first flight
of new high-performance airplane"-
risks perhaps even less dangerous than
those accepted by the Wright brothers,
long, long ago, at Kitty Hawk. In any
event, there will be great deal Of adj
vance precautionary experimentation to
insure against disaster.
Meanwhile, we must reckon with
the possibility, If not the probability,
that some Russian "astronauts" will be
the first to fly in orbit. Be that as it
may, however, the earthbound among
us-we who tend to be in love with
terra firma and who get slightly dizzy
when we look down on the ground from
f1ve-story building can only marvel
at people like the seven who have been
chosen by the NASA for orbital flight.
Apart from being exceptionally qualified
in terms of education, test-pilot flying
experience, mental vigor, psychological
balance and physical fitness, they are
quite obviously men of daring, and APP
parently there are hundreds more
young Americans just like them. We
salute them. In view of our own tim
orousness in relation to space, they
make US feel quite humble.

On Boss Rule

How could the two Demo-
crat Senators, Mcnamara OF
Michigan and Proxnire OF
Wisconsin, be so naive (about
boss rule in the Senate) and
yet manage to get themselves
elected to the United States
Senate? Within my recollec-
ton the Democrat Party has
always had boss rule: The
Crump machine Of Memphis,
Tenn; Tom Pendergast OF
Missouri. Paving Brick Hague
of New Jersey, Boss Kelley of
Chicago, H.; James Michael
Curley of Boston. Mass, and
Tweed of New York.
It surely is no surprise to
Mcnamara that Michigan's
boss is Reuther, although not
a Democrat. and Proxmire
had 78 people on his payroll
before the November election.
one for every county in the
State, so it could be BOSS"
Proxnire of Wisconsin.
So, why should either Of
these complain? When Lyn-
don johnson is only follow
ing precedent by doing what
comes naturally. he's been
trained for the job, so what's
wrong with Boss johnson Of
Texas?

Asio's ToIIinq Bell

A timely whom the bell tolls
warning has been sounded by Secretary
General SaraSin of the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization. Speaking at the
alliances current council meeting in
New Zealand, he has singled out Tibet
without mentioning its name-to drive
home the point that what is happening
there is "clear exhibition of Commu-
mist imperialism, coexistence by force"
And he has gone on to add, with SOM
Der logic and eloquence, that the same
fate can befall any country that is
weak in arms and tries to go it alone,
placing its trust in "neutraliSm" or
holding itself aloof from mutual Secu-
rity arrangements.
1t is because they are aware of this,
of course, that the countries making
up SEATO have allied themselves in a
system of common defense, and Red
China's brutal military action in Tibet
serves to strengthen their resolve to
hold fast together. But the SaraSin
warning has been addressed not Just to
the alliance, but to the nations outside
it. With the TibetanS apparently still
fighting hard, Peiping is reported to
have sent heavy reinforcements to their
tabled land in an effort to crush them,
and this in turn has caused some sober
second thinking among Asia'S neutral
list" philosophers. They are beginning
to hear the bell toll for themselves as
well as others, and the rest of us can
Only hone that thew will really wake IN

Safety Crusade

If everyone who drives a
car could lie q month in
bed, with broken bones and
stitched up wounds, or frac-

people do. they'd never preach

side the bed of some close
friend and hear the doctor

fatal end, and see him there
unconscious, never knowing
what took place, the rules and
laws Of traffic I'm sure we'd
soon embrace.

wife and children left alone,
and step into the darkened
home where once the sunlight
shone, and look upon the
vacant chair" where Daddy
used to sit, I'm sure each
reckless driver would be
forced to think a bit.
II everyone who takes the
wheel would say a little
prayer, and keep in mind
those in the car depending
on his care, and make a vow,
and pledge himself to never
take a chance, the great cru

Not Quite Retiring

WNen ne reLlrcS as CnduCeAlOT ueAb
September, 83-year-old Konrad Ade-
nauer will play less active role In the
day-to-day political affairs Of West Ger
many. But in matters Of overriding i'm
portance, especially those having to do
with foreign policy. he intends to be
anything but aloof or withdrawn, and
his influence and leadership are there
fore likely to keep on being very strong.
At any rate, DR.. Adenauer himself
has suggested as much in his speech on
his decision to give UP the chancellor
ship and run for the presidency of the
country. Up to now, of course, the lat
ter office has involved little more than
ceremonial functions, but under the
West German constitution it can be-
depending upon the man who occupies
ia post of far-reaching executive
power, not least of all in the field Of
international affairs.
DR.. Adenauer has made this point
with special force. AS he has put it,
II would like to say the following with
the utmost emphasis: The position, task
and work of the Federal President is
underestimate both by the German
public and also by the international
public" Actually, according to him, the
Office is far. more important than has
generally been realized, and he has
promised to serve in it-assuming that
he is elected-in way that will make
good use of all its inherent powers.
Further, he has been at pains to re-
assure both his own countrymen and
the world at large that his prospective
retirement from the CHARACTERISTIC twill
not change by one iota" Bonn'S foreign
policy "either during the present period
of conferences or during the coming few
years."
Certainly these are words that leave
little room for doubt about DR.. Ade-
nauer's resolve to continue playing a
leading part in West Germany for many
a month to come. He will be on the
job, for one thing, throughout the i'm
pending foreign ministers conference
in Geneva, and he is likely to have the
decisive voice in choosing his successor
as Chancellor. Moreover, his election as
President, which is virtual certainty,
will free him from much of his present
domestic work and thus give him more
time to concentrate on Bonns foreign
policy.
That policy, in DR.. Adenauer's words,
is simply this: 1--WE are and shall remain
loyal partners of our partners, loyal
friends of our friends, and alert .oppo-
nentS of those who oppose our justified
demand for ;. reunif1cation in peace
and freedom" It is good policy, and
the Western World is fortunate that
he is still able-deSpite his advanced
yearS-to champion it with vigor and in
spire his countrymen to hold fast to it.

The Weed

In your April 3 issue / read
with great interest of the re-
port by a special House To-
bacco Subcommittee. What
a subcommittee! So the to-
bacco industry got Congress
to set up a special subcom-
mittee to help them out with
their foreign sales. What
next?
The report did not reveal
anything new. The statis-
tics on women may be a little
low, but those on men were
about right. Women smokers
will increase as well as men
smokers. I would say that 80
per cent of men smoke or
have smoked in the past but
some woke up to the facts
and quit smoking.
Why do people smoke, any
way? Generally. the answer
is pleasure: at least that's
what the tobacco industry
wants you to believe. The
pleasure to poison yourself
and others.
If people would not let the
tobacco industry brainwash
them, they would quit smok-
ing for their betterment.

Bringing Up Junior
In the newspapers of Ap

In the newspapers Of April
4, Mrs. Agnes Meyer is
quoted as advocating "ac-
ceptance of the nursery
schools as a public RESPONSE
bility" because I'VE now
know that the years 8 to 6
are the most crucial in the
formation of the human
character" I would like to
ask a question concerning
this statement and to de-
velop it a little beyond the
age of six.
Why do Mrs. Meyer and the
professional educators feel
that teachers are more to be
desired in the role of forming
our children's characters
than the children's own par
entS-the people responsible
for conceiving, delivering and
loving these children? Can
Mrs. Meyer and the educa-
tors prove that paid teachers
could ever replace the freely
given time and love of par
ents? Isn't this love of par
ents part of the picture these
same educators were drawing
for us so short a time ago
when speaking Of "the whole
child" and the rejected
child? Wouldn't a small
child feel rejected at being
taken out Of its home at the
tender age of three?
Now to go on past the age
Of six. Mrs. Meyer says that
three to six are the most
crucial years in forming the
human character. What hap
pens if a child of seven runs
afoul of the law? When the
officers Of the law come call
ing, should they hold the
schools or the mot RESPONSE
BILE" parents to blame? May
be the formation of wrong
habits would not appear I'M
til high school age. Is the
school or parents to blame?
God gave woman a birth
right. Every woman should
fight for the ends of that
birthright-her children-and
say to Mrs. Meyer and all
educators: "You do your job,
and with Gods help I'll do
mine. and I'll respect and CO.
operate with you to fulfill
yours"
Also, it's about time Mrs.
Meyer and all educators had
a little more respect for the
dads of this country. Dad
earns the money that pays
for all these frills. Let us not
take away his few precious
days of summer vacation with
his offspring to have a glori-
fed acknowledgement school.
1t may come as a shock
to some of these school peo-
pie to know we enjoy having
our children and being a
complete family. We may
make mistakes in rearing our
children, but we still feel bet
ter able to do the job than
the educators when it comes
to ages three to six. Let the
teachers teach. God bless
them. And let parents be
parents.
