Not Persecution

The charge of political persecution"
leveled against the administration for
invoking the antitrust laws against the
International Ladies Garment Workers
Union is both familiar and absurd. To
the average union boss nearly every
attempt to enforce union compliance
with laws which labor regards as "anti-
union" is persecution for political pur-
poses. At the same time, he demands
strict enforcement of the antitrust laws
against corporations. That is justified
roSecution-alWayS.
Labor Secretary Mitchell was COM
pletely justified, therefore, in strongly
refuting David DubinSky'S rabble-rous-
ing TRADE against the administration
at the Garment Workers convention in
Miami. Mr.. DubinSky criticized the re-
cent indictment of an ILGWU official
for alleged conspiracy with employers to
monopolize the blouse industry and de-
clared the action was purely political"
Mr.. Mitchell emphasized the ridiculous
ness of the charge by pointing out that
the prosecution was launched in per-
fectly routine" way after a complaint
had been received by the Department of
Justice. The complaint, he said, had
been handled by career employees in a
normal, nonpolitical way.
The case ought to be carried to
conclusion in the same objective man
ner, despite Mr.. Dubinsky's nonsensical
efforts to read into the prosecution sin
lister nOIitical conSniracv AGAINST 10 or
in general and his union in particular.

10 President Eisenhower's message rec
ommending our countrys active mem
bership In a special new Inter-American
Bank designed 10 speed up the economic
development OF our sister republics TO
the south.
AS explained by the President, the
bank would be a billion-dollar enter
prise organized 10 make sound loans
TO finance a wide variety OF agricul-
tural and industrial projects carefully
planned 10 promote better living stand
ards throughout Latin America. To
that end, over period of about three
years, the United States would con-
tribute $3.50 million TO the banks capt.
tai, and the other Americas would con-
tribute the remaining balance Of $3.50
million.
There was a time, II is true, when
our Government held to the view that
the creation of developmental agency
Of this sort would be both unnecessary
and unwise. Our official opposition in
that respect was based on the belief
that ample resources were already avail
able to Latin America in the form not
only of large-scale private capital in
vestment from our country, but also
loans and other forms of aid from
organizations like the Export-Import
Bank, the World Bank and the Inter-
national Cooperation Administration.
Last summer, however, the State
Department took new look at the
problem and decided that our Latin
American friends were right in main
tanning that these regular sources of
financial asSistance-though big and
important-were not enough in them
selves to meet the urgent developmental
needs of the hemisphere. Accordingly,
our Government has reversed its past
policy and now supports the special bank
that has long been advocated by all
other members of the 21-nation Organ
ization of American States.
Thus, as the President has told
Congress-, it is his strong conviction
that our country's participation in this
project will be "a most significant step"
in terms of strengthening good neigh
borliness and mutual security through
out the hemisphere. Certainly, as he,
has put it, it can hardly fail to serve the
best interests of all nations involved
including our own-by establishing IAN
inter-American institution specifically
designed to promote the financing of
accelerated economic development in
Latin America"
Such development is sorely needed,
not least. of all because communism
thrives wherever there is economic back
wardneSS or stagnation. That is the
main reason why the Presidents recon-
mendations on the subject merit the
wholehearted support of both parties in
Congress.

Space for Peace

At last years General Assembly,
the United Nations established special
committee of Is countries to undertake
an exhaustive study aimed at promot-
ing international cooperation for the
peaceful exploration and exploitation of
outer space. Unhappily, however, now
that the group has convened to carry
out it's task, five of the MEMBERSHIP
Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland,
India and the United Arab Republic
are boycotting it.
The Kremlin, with its Czech and
Polish satellites naturally following suit,
has brought this about very deliberately,
oStenSibly because the Communist and
neutral powers on the committee are
outnumbered by the following Western
and allied members: Argentina, Aus
tralia, Belgium, Brazil, Britain. Canada,
France, Iran, Italy, Mexico, Japan, Swe-
den and the United States. AS for India
and the JAR, they have justified their
nonparticipation on the ground that the
committees work will be futile as long
as the Soviet boycott continues.
Nevertheless, although the project
thus seems to face poor future, the IS
participating members are resolved to
go ahead with it, and they are hopeful
that it will be successful enough to end
the Kremlin's present negativism. To
that end, they will deal with the fol-
lowing matters, among others: ~ The
U. MS resources and activities in the
field of peace-promoting spatial VEN
lures; (2) possible organizational ar
rangements for cooperation in space,
and (3) the legal questions that may
arise as various countries conduct ex-
ploratory operations in the high heavens
All of this is directed toward the
problem of averting potentially danger
Gus rivalries by organizing great inter-
national programs designed to make the
most of outer space for the benefit of
peoples everywhere. The fact that the
Kremlin is hostile to the project-hostile

PeriIs of Smoking

In The Star of May 4 I
noted the picture of a young
lad smoking a pipe, entitled
"A Thinking Man(?)." 1t
would seem to me that you
might well put in some of
the dangers along with a
picture of that type. The re-
lationship between smoking
and cancer has been proved
according to many doctors
and scientific groups beyond
any reasonable doubt" Ac-
cording to DR.. Herbert
Lombard, public health adj
ministrator of the State of
Massachusetts,. who h a S
spent 80 years in this field,
the chances of a child who
has started smoking before
the age of 10 developing lung
cancer is many times greater
than that of a person start
ing in later years.
With the present prepon-
derance of evidence linking
smoking to lung cancer. it
seems to me that newspapers
should speak up and warn
the people against the ter
rible health hazard in smok-
ing. You would be doing
great service to your readers
if you would.

Truth Takes Beating
Capt. r. G. Norman,
U.S.N. (Ret.)

I wish to comment on
your editorial, Truth Takes
a Beating"
Should not the long record
of excellent public service
of both Senators Anderson
and Kefauver be given
proper consideration in dis
cussing the truth of their
testimony opposing the APP
pointment of Lewis P.
Strauss as Secretary of
Commerce?
Senator Kefauver has
risked his very life in serv-
ing the American people by
exposing entrenched crime
syndicates that had been
prying upon cities from coast
to coast.
We are fortunate in hav-
ing Senators who do not
hesitate to speak the truth
in the best interests of the
American people and who
give facts to consider before
making Mr.. Strauss Secre-
tary of Commerce.

Those who follow these
simple rules, says Templeton
Jones, will never peel, and
seldom burn or itch.
If they do, they should
apply one of the good SUM-
burn remedies of which the
drugstores are full.
The chemical world has
come to the aid of all SUM-
worshippers.
You can get insect repel-
Tents, the only fault of which
is that insects will bite in a
half square inch where there
is no repellent, and you can
hardly blame the chemical
for that.
Sun bathing, home style, is
aelot of fun, but not so much
when you get all red and raw
and burn and itch, to say
nothing of blisters, which
may be dangerous.
A final word from Temp
Jones: The chemical and cos
metic world has provided

Persons with extra sensitive
skin should use one of these,

For the Record

A recent Star news article
said that I was responsible
for the release to your paper
of a report prepared by the
Falls Church School Board,
relative to retention of the
seventh grade in the elemen-
tary schools of Falls Church.
While ! certainly indorse the
report, I had absolutely no
responsibility in its prepara-
ton, release or delivery. AS a
matter of fact, I had not
even read the report at the
time of its release.
Copies of this report, which
were prepared for the press
by the school board majority
and whose release was au-
thorized by them, were left
in this Office solely as a mat
ter of convenience for distri-
button to the press and by
virtue of the fact that the
only duplicating machine
conveniently available to
these members of the school
board was located here. At
the request of one of the
members of the school board,
I did call your reporter and
advise her that a copy of this
report had been left here for
her. I also called one other
newspaper giving it the same
information.
This is absolutely the only
connection I have had with
the report, with the exception
of having received a copy, as
did all other members of the
city council.

World Court and u. S.

1t is argued by some that
United States reservation of
domestic matters from the
scope of the International
Court of Justice is a STUN
bling block to the rule of
law among nations. This begs
the question whether unre-
served submission Of all JUS
ticiable disputes between the
United States and other ma
tons to the International
Court of Justice will bring
about the rule of law in the
world. The proposed with
drawal of such reservation
will not bring about this
most desirable state of af-
fairs for several reasons: ID
The ineffectiveness Of the In
ternational Court in attain
ing this objective during the
past II years; (2) existence
of similar reservations by
other countries to which APP
parently none has officially
objected; 80 refusal of the
nations which have fla
GRAVITY def1ed the law of ma
tons and the laws of hui
mainly during this same
period to appear before the
court when complaints have
been filed against them.
The Human Rights Declara-
ton and the United Nations
Charter have been invoked
in Federal and State courts
against racial clauses regard
ing ownership. sale or lease
of real property. With the re-
moval of the United States
domestic jurisdiction reserva-
ton, and its possible adher-
ence to other United Nations
treaties, these latter could
similarly be used to hale the
United States into the Inter-
national Court for an adjudi-
cation upon the conduct of
it's domestic affairs.
The greatest obstacle to
the rule of law in the world
today is the Soviet Union
and its Communist coll
leagues. They are not parties
to compulsory jurisdiction of
the International Court and
have refused to appear before
the court when cited in COM
plants involving cold-blooded
shooting down of unarmed
American planes. They have
violated many rules Of inter-
national law as well as the
laws of humanity. The United
States and its law-abiding
friends, on the other hand,
have observed these rules in
their conduct toward other
nations, including the Com
munist group. They have
shown themselves willing to
submit their properly justici-
able disputes to the Interna-
tional Court.
The United States reserva-
ton has no relevance to
furtherance of the rule of law
among nations. That rule will
be established only by re-
straining the lawlesS, not by
leaving the law-abiding help
less to face attacks by the
lawless. Quibbling about the
extent to which the law
abiding nations have sub
mitted to compulsory juris-
diction of the international
Court completely befogs the
real issue: How can we bring
the international law-break-
ers before the court at all?

Nosser's Moneuvers

The temptation to embrace
anyone at this time who at
tacks communism - even
President Nasser-is under
Standable though hardly
commendable. Our position
in the Middle East is not so
desperate that we must
clutch at any straw. Your
editorial assumption on May
5 that the Egyptian dicta-
tor is squared off against
Moscow and is doing all he
can to resist the Russian
drive into the Middle East is
more wishful than factual.
Nasser opened the door Of
the Middle East to the Rus
slams in the first place, and
he has since mortgaged his
country-its economy and its
military strength-hand and
foot to the Kremlin. In spite
of all his talk and propagan-
da, he has not made a single
move to cut any Of the eco
nomic ties that compel him
to do MoscoW's bidding.
This is not a man to be
trusted or won over to our
side. Why does he combine
his attacks on communism
with attacks on Great Brit
ain and the West? Could it
be that he is trying to drive
a wedge between the United
States and Great Britain
something Moscow has never
given up trying to do?
Rather than help Nasser
now in the vain hope that he
will resist the spread of COM
munism, we would do much
better in the case of this I'M
reliable and irresponsible die
tator to follow the advice laid
down by President Eisenhow-
er at his press conference on
Nav s. when he said.
g. I doubt that at the
moment I am prepared to
take any specific thing like
stepping in to help with the
Aswan dam, and indeed, to
do anything other than to
say we are trying to be fair
with everybody. We are not
trying to promote personal
quarrels or personal prestige,
as such. We are trying to be
fair in our relationships with
these nations and to get
every single one of them to
recognize that in freedom
and independence they have
got a greater chance to go
ahead in their, in the realiza-
ton Of their own aspirations,
rather than if they try to &C
cept too closely an associa-
ton with the Soviets."
Nasser has given us some
painful lessons over the past
five years. We have not for
gotten them. S. Hauser.

sending representatives to in

sending of arms TO Panama

A successful invasion Of
Panama and establishment
of a revolutionary govern
ment with a Communist
tinge would have established
a new foothold for the Reds
and this time in the coun-
try through which runs the
Panama Canal.
Since making his address
on inter-American relations
on April is, prior to the at
tempt to invade Panama,
Senator Smathers has re-
ceived letters from ambassa-
doris and charges d'affaires
of IA Latin American coun-
tries expressing keen interest
in his recommendations for
economic development and
for the maintenance of
peace. These diplomats said
they would pass the Smath-
ers proposals on to their
home governments for con-
sideration.
Only Cuba Critical Of Idea
Only one. the ambassador
of Cuba's Castro government,
was critical-which was nat
ural since Senator Smathers
placed in the record reports
that the Castro government
was honeycombed with Com
munists. The Senator's ad-
dress was prophetic. He said.
for example: "Since Fidel
Castro deposed a dictator
and came into power in
Cuba, the Caribbean has been
brewing up a storm. Gale
warnings are up. We must
take precautions now be-
fore a series of revolutionary
hurricanes sweep away the
peace" He prefaced this
with a statement that "OAS
has a duty to keep the peace
in Latin America"
Deep interest was expressed
in the Smathers address by
the Latin-American diplo-
