The Woy They Think

Consistency is thing that the men
Of the Kremlin cavalierly brush to one
side whenever they find that 1t incon-
venienceS them. A striking case in point
can be found in their contradictory
positions regarding Berlin and Iran.
On the one hand, attacking the 1945
four-power agreements on Berlin as out
dated, Premier KhruShchev has declared
that the Soviet Union intends to take
unilateral action to renounce its inter-
national obligations under those agree
mentS. More than that, he has scoffed
at the Vests insistence that his govern
ment has no legal right to make such a
pledge-breaking move.
On the other hand, however. the
Kremlin has taken quite opposite view
Of its 1921 pact with Iran. Speaking
through Pravda, 1t has blasted the Shah's
government for recently renouncing the
pact's provisions giving the USSR the
highlander certain conditionS-to send
troops into Iranian territory. These pro-
visions, according to Teheran, have been
rendered invalid and obsolete by the
course of events, and hence they have
been repudiated. But Moscow has as
sailed the move as an illegal and clumsy
attempt" on Trans part to free itself of
its obligations, and it has served notice
that the Soviet Union, refusing to recog-
nize the action, still considers the treaty
to be in full force
Thus, while appropriating to itself
the right to abandon its commitments
as regards Berlin, the Kremlin condemns
the Iranians for acting similarly-but on
sound legal ground-with respect to
the pact of 1921. In other words, with
kind Of Self-righteous arrogance, the
KhruShchev government takes the po-
sition that whatever 1t does is good. but
that essentially the same thing Is bad
when another government does it.
This is inconsistency of sort that
speaks pretty much for itself. There is
In it a perversity of reasoning so great,
logic so upside down, that one wonders
how or when the West will ever find it
possible to achieve trustworthy meet
ing of minds with men who think in
such a strange and contrary fashion.

Capitol Circus

The Senate Commerce Committee is
enjoying a partisan field day in its
handling of the nomination of Lewis
L. Strauss as Secretary of Commerce.
Presidential appointments to the cabi-
net, his official family" generally are
confirmed promptly by the Senate with
out politicking. Mr.. Strauss has demon
strated competence in public service and
President Eisenhower has made 1t clear
that he values his ability highly. The
fact that he has tangled with members
of the Senate in the past, however,
seems to have marked him as flair
game" in this instance, and there has
been no secret made of the intention
to keep him ION probation" for an
interminable period.
This is not the first time, of course,
that the temptation to stage three
ring circus for partisan purposes has
distracted congressional committee
from more worthwhile endeavors. And
Mr.. Strauss; no doubt, will survive this
experience of being fed to the political
lions.

Red 'Tommony, in India

Averell Hartman recently made
visit to the only Communist controlled
state In the Republic of India. His pur-
pose, he explains In one of the series
Of newspaper dispatches he has been
writing from that country, was to see
II the Communists in that most densely
populated subdivision of India were any
different from their fellow Reds behind
the Iron Curtain. His finding is that
they are the "same breed politically
skillful and devious, taking their lead
from Moscow.
1t should be noted that MIR Harri-
man is well qualified to Judge. In adj
dition to being our Ambassador to Mos
COW at one time, he had close acquaint-
ance with the Bolshevik leaders and
their methods of operation during and
after World War II. The evolution of
his own education on the subject of
communism and Soviet designs has been
recorded publicly in his own utterances,
and reflects complete turnabout from
an original attitude of friendliness to
one of distrust and finally of unqualified
antagonism.
He has found in Kerala, the state
visited, something in the nature Of
giant Communist celia center of
political malignancy that is being care
fully nurtured. Elected to a narrow
control of the regional assembly in 1857
because the opposition was divided
among several parties-the native Com
munists have concentrated since on es-
tablishing network of followers In the
thousands Of villages. Trade unions have
been primary target and Mr.. Hartman
refers to "Tammany style" of dis
pensing patronage and building a dis
ciplined organization.
AS whole, Indian policy toward
communism has been ambivalent. The
dominant Congress Party and its leader,
Prime Minister Nehru, have been agrees
sively opposed to the Communist move
ment in India itself, but Mr.. Nehru fire.
quently has expressed benign approval
of Soviet positions on world issues. After
IL years in power, the Congress Party
also has shown complacency toward
domestic political threats that has
prompted Mr.. Nehru himself to urge 1t to
greater vigor. For the country as a
whole, the Communist vote Is still small
but it doubled from per cent in 1852
to 10 per cent in 1857 and another size
able gain is foreseen in 1852 It is not
too soon for those who favor freedom
In India to guard against the spreading
Of an evil ailment from Kerala.

Lone Survivor

The death after 112 years of Gen
eral" John Sailing, last Virginian who
wore the gray in the Civil War, leaves
only one survivor Of that hard-fought
conflict. He is 116-year-old Colonel
Walter Williams of Texas, another Con-
federate, who served in Hoods hard
riding Texas Cavalry Thus, the hon.
orary colonel's oft-repeated prediction
that he would outlaSt all other Civil
War veterans has come to pass.
1t is no reflection on either of these
venerable soldiers to say that neither
was fated to have glamorous combat
role in the war that tore the Union apart
SO years ago. Both were considered too
young for more important duties than
those assigned them. 1t was Private
Salling's job as a 16-year-old volunteer
with the 25th Virginia Regiment to dig
saltpeter urgently needed for the manu-
facture Of gunpowder. Who can say
that he did not contribute materially
to the cause of the Confederacy? No
one will begrudge him the title of Gen
eral" affectionately bestowed on him by
loved ones and friends, and it was fitting
that full military honors were accorded
him by detachment of the United
States Army-symbolizing the healing
of Civil War wounds with the passing
OF nearly century.
Private Williams now is the one
living man who had part in that Bit
Ger struggle. He was only 10 when he

task Of foraging food for General Hoods

indispensable to the cavalry as arms and

that the son will live to participate in

Fairfax BUDGET

Undoubtedly In Fairfax
County. many PTAs. civic
and other groups have already
taken a stand to support the
proposed 1859 go school
budget as the minimum
budget to meet the educa-
tional needs Of their chill
dren. However. now that q
proposed tax increase of so
per cent ($4.9D in the pres
ent tax rate $3.50 has been
made public, ! wonder how
many Of these groups are
going to review their deci-
sions and support of the
school budget?
Surely, the cost factor is
a necessary yardstick to
gauge any ones actions and
decisions in any walk of life.
Just add on half of your
taxes to your present tax bill
and this will be approximate
ly the new increase for you to
pay. Do you think all this
increased spending is neces-
sary? / don't think SO.

Our Summit Meeting

In sense, the discussions between
British Prime Minister Macmillan and
President Eisenhower will be a summit
meeting OF our own-and very lmpor-
tant one at that.
To say this is not to suggest that
the Anglo-American heads of state are
poles apart on the Berlin issue. There
are differences, of course. Mr.. Macmil-
Ian, for example, may be somewhat
more anxious for a summit meeting
with Premier Khrushchev than is Mr..
Eisenhower. We suspect, however, that
there is no Important divergence on this
point. In his Monday night speech, Mr..
Eisenhower clearly modified his former
position. He no longer is holding out
for a substantial promise of beneficial
results. Instead, he now is willing to 60
to the summit If developments" justify
such meeting. And In all probability
developments will justify it-unless in
the interim Mr.. KhruShchev pats his
foot in his mouth in a way to end all
foot-in-mouth performances.
When the President and the Prime
Minister 60 into seclusion for serious
consultations their main objective, we
suppose, will be to plan and concert
the Vests position. Mr.. Macmillan will
bring to this discussion the fruits Of his
talks In Moscow, Paris and Bonn. Mr..
Eisenhower will try to accommodate the
American position to the views of our
allies. 1t may be that Mr.. Macmillan,
because Of personal conviction or in the
light of his political necessities at home,
may argue for somewhat more "f1ex-
ible" position than Mr. Eisenhower will
be prepared to adopt. But this prospect
does not call for undue apprehension
with respect to Western unity, nor by
any stretch of ones fevered Imagination
does it justify snide suggestions that Mr..
Macmillan is prepared to sell the West
short.
In this business, there are two
major considerations to be kept in mind.
One is that the Western nations, en-
phatically including the United States
and Britain, must stand together. No
one appreciates this better, certainly,
than Mr.. Macmillan. The other consid-
Grafton is that we, meaning the people
in the free countries, should not bank
too heavily on the results of an East
West summit conference.
1t probably is true, in dealing with
the Russians, that nothing of impor-
lance can be accomplished at the level
of foreign ministers. For in Russia, Mr..
Khrushchev calls all the tunes. But we
ought not to delude ourselves, even as
Stunning that Mr.. Khrushchev comes to
a meeting of heads of state in mood
Of sweetness and light. At best, any
progress toward a rational East-WeSt
settlement will come on dragging feet.
The weariSome haggling, even assuming
that there will be no war, is going to be
a big part Of our lives for years and
years to come.

Nepotism on Hill

A great Juror has been

gressmen forget several i'm
portant facts when they crit

First, Congressman have a
very rigorous daily program
that makes it difficult, if not
impossible. for a Congress-
man to personally take care
Of out Of town guests or many
details Of the Office and to
fulfill the obligations they
have In committee and on
the floor Of Congress.
1t Is only logical that a
Congressman hire a member
Of his family to greet guests
and to thus help make friends
for him.
In the Office of a Congress-
man there are many prob

snap judgement. A daughter

with the Congressman before
and is acquainted with his
ideas is altogether proper

Liquor Miniatures
Paul Mcuvaine

One doesn't know whether
to be amazed or amused at
the Prince Georges tavern
owners sudden concern for
the morals and drinking
problems Of the citizens of
that county.
Nevertheless. their opposi-
ton to H. B. 52l should not
preclude the strenuous objec-
ton Of others to the legisla-
ton that would permit pack
age dealers to sell miniatures.
1t is Objectionable legislation;
it would make every pack
age liquor store a curbside
tavern, and 1t would make
enforcement Of laws prohibit
ing minors from drinking and
the public in general from
combining drinking and driv-
ing extremely difhcult.
Let us hope that our dele
cation at Annapolis will not
permit this bill to become
law. They need our expressed
objections Immediately.
And let us also hope that
II the tavern owners are
ever tempted to want the
liquor laws Of Prince Georges
County ''liberalized" they will
remember that they were
the ones who said. "The very
purpose Of the Alcoholic
Beverage Law is to regulate
and control the sale and dis
tribution Of liquor: to obtain
respect and obedience to law
and to foster and promote
temperance: and to provide
restrictions and regulations
which are for the protection,
health, welfare and safety Of
the people,"
Louise ID. Yuill.
=
May we suggest you urge
YOUR readers to take a second
look at Prince Georges
County's proposed "Minia-
ture Bill" House Bill No. sci.
I've seen a lot Of this coun-
try. and to the best of my
knowledge miniatures" Of
whisky are best known here
in the District and in Mont
gomery County.
They are "cute" as SOU
venirs for travellers but a
serious problem here at home.
Prince Georges County has a
bill before the house to make
miniatures legal.
The sale Of miniatures" is
not in the best interests Of
the residents of this county.
Juveniles are most adept at
obtaining miniatures. They
carry a bottle into a restau-
rant, order a soft drink and
pour their liquor in without
being noticed.
Miniatures can be carried
to work or in a car and are
easy for a sneak drink on the
job or on the road. The same
people who would not be
caught carrying a pint or half
pint would be willing to carry
an easy-to-hide miniature. "
The residents of Prince
Georges County in the inter-
est Of their own welfare and
protection of their children
should write Senator LASER
and Senator Wheatley and
protest the miniature bill"
that can cause "monstrous"
problems.
