Politics.:
Hard Talk

Senator Kennedy, increasing
ly confident of the Democratic
nomination, last Tuesday deliv-
cred a major foreign policy chaI-
lenge to Vice President Nixon.
"As a substitute for policy, Mr..
Eisenhower has tried smiling at
the Russians; our State Depart
ment has tried frowning at them,
and Mr.. Nixon has tried both.
None have succeeded"
Thus spoke the young, confident
Democratic front-runner, Senator
John F. Kennedy of Massachu-
sets, as he turned his attention
last week from his rivals for his
party's presidential nomination to
the likely Republican opponent,
Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose supporters
now claim he has 710l2 first-bal-
lot votes of the 761 necessary for
nomination, covered the globe as
he struck at what he called the
administrators lack of new poll
cies and programs, fact which
he said doomed the summit con-
ference.
His speech was hard-hitting. 1t
scorned Republican suggestions
that the election issue would be
which candidate could stand up
to Premier Khrushchev or which
was harder" on communism.
But Mr.. Kennedy, who seemed
to have lost points when he sug-
gested a few weeks ago that Presi-

city to provide the most effective
programs-the schools, museums,
and public libraries.
The proposed legislation would
make more certain the establish
ment of WaShington's first ETV
station in September, 1861. This
project is sponsored by the Greater
Washington TV Association. AS
it will be on UHF channel sets
will have to be converted to re-
ceive its programs. At present the
association conducts on Channel 5
one-half hour elementary science
programs five days a week. Next
September there will be two SCI
ence courses.
If the Magnuson bill is enacted,
the association plans to construct
a station and offer four daily
hours five days a week.
1t is doubtful whether the Dis
trict of Columbia school system
will participate in TV classroom
programs. Last January School
Supt. Carl F. Hansen decided to
end the special science TV course
which fifth and sixth graders
watched this year.
After several years experience
with TV classroom instruction DR..
Hansen believes that it is not yet
able to be adapted to the District
of Columbia school curriculum.
For one thing it is hard to gear
a TV program to classroom work
unless it offers materials and
skills not at the command of the
teacher. Also he feels there is the
danger that the classroom teacher
may lose control over what is to
be taught and thus be unable to
fit the instructional program to
the problems of a particular group
of students.
Nevertheless DR.. Hansen does
not exclude the possibility that,
after further study, TV teaching
could be successfully used in the
District of Columbia school sys-
tenn. The Board of Education will
therefore cooperate with any new
educational TV station organized
here.

Cuba Policy:
Stffening

A firmer approach to United
States relations with Fidel Cas-
trO's Cuban regime was evident
last week as the Premier'S anti
American campaign continued.
The question Of what to do
about developments in Cuba was
taking a lot of official time in
Washington last week, despite the
concern with Japan and the Pres
ident's trip. Advocates of a
tough" policy toward the fiery
Fidel were plainly gaining ground.
Moscow announced that Premier
Castro would make a state visit
to the Soviet Union this year at a
date to be announced later.
Cuba's anti-American propaganda
barrage was stepped up. Wednes-
day night two Attaches of the
United States Embassy in Havana
were arrested and, after being
held nearly 3 hours, released

SCHOOL SYSTEM OWNERSHIP
In Denver the public school

In Atlanta six daytime hours are
devoted to in-school telecasting
and 212 hours at night for adults.

the only difference being that the

The Saskatchewan College of
Physicians and Surgeons led the

Barred as Delegates

The reformers had their day in
the recent primaries. They helped
defeat a number of candidates
backed by Carmine De Sapio,
Tammany leader and New York
Democratic national committee
man.
Last week, Mr.. De Sapio and
Michael Prendergast, Democratic
State chairman, barred Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Lehman as
delegates to the party convention
in Los Angeles while retaining,
easily. their own posts. The rejec-
ton of the reform leaders was in
the face of plea by Mayor Robert
Wagner that they be named.
There is, it seems, a clear con-
clusion to be drawn from this
internecine warfare. 1t is this: If
Mr.. Stevenson, a longshot to be
sure, were nominated again, the
Democratic split in New York
might make it likely that the
states 40 electoral votes would go
to the Republicans.
The man most likely to give
Mr.. Kennedy a real run for the
brass ring. meanwhile, was making
progress in his own unavowed
drive for the nomination.
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
johnson, whose national citizens
committee last week released an
old-faShioned, but slick campaign
brochure whose pictures covered
a 'log-cabin" birthplace to baby
kissing, won an important victory
by keeping the Texas Democratic
delegation unified behind him for
the convention. There had been a
real danger Of a serious split.

Saskatchewan Is First Province
To Try State Medicine Program

strange MDs who would be little
more than civil servants, would
lower medical standards and
would drive doctors out of the
province.
What the Tex Is
Probably a big reason why the
voters were not convinced was The
picture the Socialist politicians
painted of an end to doctors bill
worries. Premier Douglas said that
every resident would be entitled
to all the medical care he or she
needed, at a cost. in the form of a
special tax, of between $17.50 and
$40 a year for single persons, and
between $35 and $40 a year for
heads of families.
Mr.. Douglas estimated that
these special taxes would proVids
revenues sufficient to cover 40 per
cent of the cost of the program.
The remainder of the cost would
be financed out of general tax
revenues.
The medical care plan will sup
plement the hospital insurance
program inaugurated two and ore
half years ago. The program.
jointly financed by federal and
provincial governments, is now
operative in every province except
Quebec.
Premier Douglas anticipates that
his medical care plan will become
nationwide in a decade. He speaks
OF further welfare plans: State
dental care, state eye care, state
drug distribution. But first he has
to overcome continuing opposi-
ton to state medicine. The doctors
remain united and unalterably
opposed" they said in a post
election statement And the de-
feated Liberal Party is demand
ing that inasmuch as the Socialists
got only Al per cent of a vote split
among four parties. the govern
ment should submit the medical
care plan to the people in a

Compromise in Eichmonn Case
Is Hope Of u. n. Peocemokers

of political expediency, either. it
is pointed out. Suppose one day
the United States wanted to de-
mand that East Germany return
a West German citizen kidnapped
in West Berlin; or suppose Red
China were to send agents into
Hong Kong to seize an important
refugee. On what basis would the
West so much as protest If the
U. N. had officially condoned an
earlier international kidnapping?
Thus the U. N. is faced with a
delicate and difficult task of
tight-rope-walking: of giving
Argentina enough satisfaction to
save face and to keep the prece-
dents straight, but not enough
to infuriate Israel and offend the
worlds conscience.
An Awkword Dilemma
One need only imagine himself
in the position of the Italian dele
gate writing a speech for council
delivery to see how awkward this
dilemma can be. The slightest
hint of sympathy for Eichmarn
would revive cries of italian
"fascism"; but on the other hand
any minimizing Of Argentina's
legal rights would jeopardize
thousands of Yugoslav refugees on
Italian soil and severely jolt a
profitable Argentine Italian
friendship.
There is at least one theoretical
way out. 1t would be for Israel
to let Eichmann be tried in a spe-
cial war-crimes court, to be set
up either by the U. N. or by the
World War II victors-Jn effect,
a revival of the Nuremberg
tribunal. Extradition then could
be arranged.
But this solution does not ap-
peal to Israel, which waited Is
years to get it hands on the eXter-
minator of European Jewry and
has its domestic opinion to con-
Slder. In the last analysis, the
Eisenhower administration gave
top priority to domestic vindica-
ton in the U-2 case: and Ben
Gurion appears to be doing the
same.
So the problem is squarely in
the U. MS lap. All it can do. SO
far as observers can see, is to
listen while Argentina complains
for the record and hope that, with
bit of coaxing. BuenoS Aires
will then let the whole thing fade
away.

Kennedy's Points

AS for his own program, a 12-
point "agenda" for United States
action, it was a broad, challeng-
ing one. And Republican critics
were quick to challenge it in the
area in which it was vaguest.
Not many argued with Mr.. Ken
nedy's direction or goals, but this
general question was raised:
How much is the reaching
foreign aid, the expanding econ
omy" at home and the increased
expenditures for bigger and more
powerful military forces going to
cost?
Thruston Morton, G. o. P. ma
tional chairman observed acidly
that the Senator had taken the
American people around the
world in 80 minutes: Senate Mi
nority Leader Dirksen said the
Kennedy program was simply one
of everything for everybody every
where" Other Republicans twitted
the Bostonian over the fact that
Democrats were leading the fight
to take meat-axe cuts in the for
eign aid program advanced by the
administration.
There was no immediate reply
from Mr.. Nixon, who may be wait
ing until next month when he is
expected to be named as the Re-
publican presidential nominee. If
Mr.. Kennedy is to be his opponent,
as Mr.. Nixon believes is highly
probable, then the Vice President
is not likely to limit his answer to
sharp quipS and slogans. 1t will be
time to say specifically how he in
tends to build on the Eisenhower
record.
Meanwhile, Adlai E. Stevenson
became the candidate of a group
Of Democratic liberals who placed
newspaper advertisements to stir
up enthusiasm for the two-time
standard bearer.
This move came after a rather
confusing exchange of messages
between Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
and Mr.. Stevenson, with Mrs.
Roosevelt announcing that Mr..
Stevenson is a candidate" and Mr..
Stevenson telling reporters that
there must be some miSunder-
standing, that II am not a can

OTTAWA.-"State medicine" is
about to be tried in the Province
of Saskatchewan-a first for Cam
ada and, I believe, a first for this
continent.
The reason for the quotation
marks is that this phrase state
medicine" has become shibboleth
with unwelcome connotations for
doctors. Few of Saskatchewan
936 medical practitioners depart
from this professional norm. As a
group they intervened in the re-
cent provincial election in vain
attempt to bring about the defeat
of the government and thus end
what they conceive to be the threat
of state medicine.
The reelection of the Coopera-
tive Commonwealth Federation
government for a fifth term per-
petuated the continents only So
cialist administration, and gave
Premier T. c. Douglas popular ap-
proval for his proposal of a pro-
vincially operated prepaid medical
care program.
The essence of the scheme is
that all residents of Saskatchewan
will have their bills for medical
care and treatment paid by the
procincial treasury. The need for
an individual to pay a doctors bill
will be thing of the past.
Some Aspects UncIorified
Premier Douglas has assured
the people that otherwise their
relations with their doctors will
not be affected: AS he put it, they
may go to any doctor, any place.
But he has not clarified the pros
pective relationship between the
provincial authority and the doc
tors: Whether the latter will be

employees (Which the doctors fear),
or whether they will continue in

involved only through newspaper
speculation, could have looked the
other way.
Now. because Israel has ac-
knowledged that Eichmann was
found in Argentina and has de-
Tended his removal, Argentina

the U. N. And the U. NJ, though
embarrassed by the whole thing,
does not see any way of duck
ing it.
Politics-Not Lows
This kind of dilemma is simple
for a law court. Regardless of the
provocation, if a law violation
can be proved, the verdict is auto
matte (though punishments may
vary). But the U. N. Security Coun-
Gil is a political body, not a court
of law. If the U. N. were to make
its decisions solely on the basis of
law and precedent, it would come
in for furious criticism on
grounds of unrealism. The main
task of the Security Council is
to keep the peace-and decisions
which ignored extralegal circum-
stances might exacerbate, not
ease, international tensions.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y
There is a curious kind of parallel
between the Eichmann case and
the U-2 spy-plane incident. If
misery loves company, the United
States now has, in Israel, a part
ner in discomfort.
Adolf Eichmann, the man ac-
cused of killing 6 million Jews un-
der the Hitler regime, was seized
in Argentina this spring by Israeli
agents and spirited of to Tel Aviv
to face retribution.
The official Israeli story that
he voluntarily" left his Argentine
refuge is believed here about as
widely as the NASA yarn about
Francis Powers having oxygen
trouble and accidentally straying
across the Soviet border on a
weather fight.
The Eichmann kidnapping had
many of the U-2's cloak-and-
dagger overtones, and some of its
own. A 15-year chase across at
least four continents preceded the
seizure. The grim memory Of
Nazi gas chambers and crema-
toriums spurred the search.
No one here believes Israel will
now give Eichmann back to Ar
gentina, or even that the U. N.
Security Council. which has been
called into action. in the case,
will ask Israel to do so. But this,
unhappily for Israel. does not
end the case.
The Illegal Angle
kidnapping is illegal. No state
can acquieSce in the exercise of
coercive power on its territory by
another state-not in this era of
zealously guarded national SOW
ereignty. So far as the law is
concerned. the motive, however
transcendent. is irrelevant; ends
do not Justify means.
The only escape, when per-
forming an act such as this, U. N.
people say, is to deny all-and
stick with the denial. The
United States first denied it, then
admitted it; Israel first admitted
it. in part dn Prime Minister Ben
Gurion's initial announcement
and then sought to explain it

According to this thesis, Israel
