those areas must not be cor
dial to him lest they lose
their political seats. He
would know he couldn't be
asked to speak before Con-
gress.
But one of the glories Of
a free people is that we can
all sound of and act about

make Mr.. KS eyes pop. He
will be looking at us through
red-colored glasses. We need
not expect to change many
of his fundamental errors
about our sort Of capitalism.
But he will see. And when a
man sees he learns.
What we must understand
is that he is coming to charm
us. He is a skilled man at
this. He knows how to mix
the sweet and the bitter so
that the sweet seems the
dominant note.
He is a superb actor, play
ing any role we'll. He will be
the kindly, benevolent, fat
man. wondering why this
wicked America won't trade
with him.
l hope someone asks him
about why Russia doesn't sell
her gold if she needs to
trade. Well take it for con-
sumner goods. He has close to
ten billion dollars Of 1t
stored away.
Meanwhile, it is a little
ridiculous for us to be in

Democrotic-Ruled Legislature Called
BosicoIy Cooperative With President

Beneath all the partisan
hurrahs and counter-hurrahs,
what has been the real story,
the real tone, of the Demo-
cratic Congress? 1t has been
basically cooperative on all
matters of high principle, in
GLIDING foreign policy, with a
Republican President.
1t has undoubtedly been
good for the country. 1t has
been bad for those Democrats
who believe that only by con-
stantly fighting" the COP.
can the Democratic Party
seize the White House in 1860.
And it has been exasperating
to all those who insist upon
sharp, black-and-white divi-
sions in politics, on the neat
est separation Of sheep and
goats.
1t has been a responsible

its high professional compe-

wholly unnecessary.
Mr.. X is we'll briefed on the
political facts of life in this
country. 1t is true he is a
puzzling man in that he
knows the statistics of pro-
duction of heavy goods and
farm products as we'll as any
of our own experts. His idea
Of a peoples capitalism. or
capitalism which has learned
the hard way that 1t pays to
associate a social conscience
with the profit dollar, is an
tique. He still thinks Of it in
terms of the period from
about 1905 to 1914.
We do things which give
him reason to believe this.
The Congress tagged an
amendment onto our surplus
food legislation which re-
quires the administrator to
issue the stamps to our own
hungry and needy before
selling the stuff overseas.
This was already being done.
But, for political reasons the
Congress had to dramatic it's
own concern for the needy
with a new stamp act. This is
being offered in Russia as
documentary proof of what
they have been saying, that
in America there are great
masses of hungry, starving
people.
But this isn't too impor-
tant. That's the way we do
things.
Mr.. K, however, knows full
well that there are more
Poles in the city of Chicago

worker, in the future, may receive
up to $127 month; and if his wife

increased benefits when they reach
so; and benefits have been added
for the first time for the wives and

OLD AGE AND DISABILITY BENEFITS
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-26
BY PHIL YEAGER
and JOHN STARK

Can you be tagged with a
murder rap II you do not kill
anyone and are not directly
responsible for the person who
does?
Maybe you can.
What appears to be the
start OF a landmark case on
the point is now under way in
New York where a 2l-year-old
Bronx man, Torrance Woods,
has been charged with first de-
gree murder In the deaths of
two men he did not kill.
Police said Woods started a
gun fight in front Of a Long
Island bar one night several
weeks ago. He shot and
wounded a patron Of the bar,
then took another shot at a
policeman arriving on the
scene. He missed the police
man, but meanwhile the bar
tender and a number of other
people became involved in a
general fracas. The bartender,
trying to help the policeman,
blasted away with a rifle and
killed two others involved in
the melee. The bartender was
not charged. but Woods was
held in what lawyers believe
may be a unique case.
The circumstances are diff
ferent from those of the usual
felony" situatio n
Under the "murder-f felony"
rule, a person who kills some
one during the course Of COM
hitting another crime-in spite

LAW IN THE NEWS
Murder Rap Case
May Set Precedent

Of the fact that he did not in
tend to kill anyone-is still
subject TO first degree murder
charges. He Is equally guilty
If an accomplish to his Grim
inal plan did the actual kill
ing.
In the New York case, how
ever, Woods did not do the
killing nor did an accomplish
do 1t. Woods simply started
the chain Of events which led
to the killings. New York law
yers say they know of no case
in the State like 1t, and they
can find only one in the United
States which closely approx
mates It. That was a Pennsyl-
vania case in which a gas sta
ton owner wrestled a gun away
from a hold-up man and be-
gan shooting. He missed the
bandit but killed a station at
tendant nearby. In that in
stance the holdup man was
convicted of the murder al
though he had not pulled the
trigger.
According to criminal ex-
perts, if Woods is tried on the
first degree murder charge
his case will be historic. On
the other hand. they say. there
is nothing unusual about the
bartender escaping charges so
long as he was not guilty. Of
gross negligence in trying to
aid the policeman. If he had
been culpably negligent, he
might be subject to man
slaughter charges.

HAVANA, April rs (APD.-
Declaring Cuba needs a eli
mate of stability" Havana's
commercial associations last
night asked Fidel Castro's gov
eminent to freeze wages pend
ing a study of labor demands.
The unions. at their own
meeting, called for wage in
creases. The question undoubt-
edly will land in Prime Minis
ter Castro's lap when he re-
turns next week from his visit
to the United States.
Premier Castro avoided ma
jor strikes so far by appealing
to labor for patience. But there
are increasing signs of restive-
ness in a series of slowdowns
and wage demands.
In another development, the
cabinet last night extended the
deadline for CubanS to pay
back taxes. The original dead
line was yesterday. 1t was ex-
tended to May 8. The finance
ministry expects to collect 500
