Monument to Dovy

The front-page photo of
the October 10 Star showing
one of the most stupid statues
in the District-that bed
sheet draped, half nude
equivocal memorial to the
survivors of the Titanic, re-
minds me again that the Ma
tion'S Capital still has no
statue to one Of the Repub-
lies greatest heroes, and the
one best known around the
world today-Davy Crockett.
He would have injected a
little life into the current
drab presidential campaign.
Let us not forget that he was
a candidate for the vice.
presidency as well as a pio-
neer, marksman, story-teller,
writer. actor, and long time
member Of Congress.
Why not take down that
pompous Halloween ghost on
the banks of the Potomac and
put up a blood-and-guts Davy
with coonskin and fringed
leather jerkin. What more
fitting tribute to Theodore
Roosevelt than a statue to
Davy Crockett? I'm sure the
school children Of the United
States and the school children
Of the world would give their
pennies to this ong-neglected
recognition in the form of q
statue in his Nations Capital.
We may try to forget Gary
Powers, but let's always re-
member the Alamo.

Paging Mrs. Truman

Former President Truman is cam
paigning for Senator Kennedy with the
latter's knowledge and at the latter'S
request. Still, one can understand and
even sympathize with Mr.. Kennedy's
plea that there isn't much he can do
about the Truman brand of gutter poll
ticking. Perhaps Mrs. Truman can do
something about it," the Democratic
candidate has said, "but I don't think
I cam"
In this extremity, it is time for an
appeal to Mrs. Truman. Perhaps word
or two from her would once again, as
in the past, pull up the Man from Inde-
pendence. He is not helping Mr.. Ken
nedy and it is inconceivable that anyone
believes his wild accusations. But he is
making sorry spectacle of himself, and
this is not good-not good for Harry
Truman and not good for former Pres
ident Of the United States.

Third Interest Involved

Although their agreement" was be-
logged by dispute, both presidential can
didateS succeeded In their third televi-I
sion debate in running away from COM,
pulSory arbitration as a means of re-
solving major labor-management dead
locks.
Both, of course, are quick to favor
giving a President additional weapons
to deal with strikes which threaten the
national economic welfare. Senator
Kennedy talks about an additional flour
or i've toolS"-even including Govern
ment seizure of private industry but not
including binding arbitration-and sug-
gests presidential strategy of leaving
the parties "in doubt" as to what he
might do. Vice President Nixon, prom
Using to be more explicit in forthcom-
ing speech, also suggests added powers
but not to include either seizure or COM
pulSory arbitration.
In Mr.. Kennedy's case, he estab-
liShed his personal adherence Of COM
pulsory arbitration in the course Of de-
nying an assertion by Mr.. Nixon that he
once had favored it. Not so, the Demo-
cratic candidate said, and a campaign
aide explained later that the Kennedy
eSpouSal had been included without Mr..
Kennedy's knowledge In speech text
released inadvertently and later with
drawn from the public domain.
Significantly, both Mr. Kennedy and
Mr.. Nixon are taking position on this
issue similar to that taken by big labor
and big management. Labor historically
has opposed compulsory arbitration on
grounds that 1t infringeS on the "unlim-
tied right" to strike and could result in
involuntary servitude." Industry op-
poses it with the expressed fear that
Government fixing of wages and work.
ing conditions would lead to similar
fixing Of prices and profits, substantially
the objection raised by Mr.. Nixon.
Unfortunately, labor, industry, Mr..
Kennedy and Mr.. Nixon have not been
so specific in the matter of protecting
the public welfare from the impact of
paralyzing strikes. In our opinion, Gov
ernment seizure, accompanied by en-
forced operation, is not good method.
It is also our belief, however, that dis
cretionary presidential power to impose
compulsory arbitration, far from en-
couraging the parties to wait for settle
ment by this means, would encourage
them to find agreement through genuine
collective bargaining. Labor and indus
try, as well as the national interest,
might thereby be spared some of the
costs to all that have accrued in mast
deadlockS.

idea that two weeks after an
attack by nuclear weapons
we can all crawl out of our
holes and resume normal life
is a flendish bit of misrepre-
sentation. Even If we assume
that our potential enemy
will use no chemical or bac-
THEOLOGICAL weapons which
could pursue us below ground
(and as long as we are deal
ing in fantasy we might as
well assume a sporting foe),
what honesty or decency is
there in minimizing the dan
gers which any survivors
would face? A large city hit
by nuclear weapons would
become completely uninhab-
liable. Shelters would simply
be mass graves. and to ped
die the idea Of shelters as
survival units is a cruel
deception.

Nixon on Housinq'

Your editorial, nixon on
Housing" calls for the miss
ing specifics and concludes
that the role of the Federal
Government will be the real
issue in this area. Because
free, individual initiative as
well as representative govern
ment initiative must be con-
structive, efficient and respon-
sible. Mr.. Nixon's idea on
new criteria," it seems to
me, should be the gate to the
right specifics.
The builders Of our Amer
lean way had an unshakable
faith in the efficacy of con-
structive, efficient, responsible
private initiative; and the
record has proved that our
economic order-with profits
as the incentive-has its own
effective, built-in stimulation
to growth and progress. Ra-
tionally controlled, it also
could be our main contradic-
ton and negation to all forms
Of totalitarianism. Providing
this rational control in the
interest of all Americans, it
would seem, should be the
sound role Of our Federal
Government in all areas.
Until we are able to prescribe
workable incentives to make
our matchless wealth Great
ing system meaningful for all
Americans, we are not going
to convince the rest Of the
world that ours is the way to
freedom. Men of greedy,
grasping habits cannot be
free. Their greed molds their
shackleS.

chaos and connived reasonably with
the Russians in an effort to convert the
Congo Republic into Soviet satellite.
In the circumstances, President
Toure, who probably is the most leftist
of Africa's new leaders, and who admits
to being MarxiSt but not a Communist,
is not likely to get very far in the U. N.
with his demand for Lumumba's recog-
milton. Yet the mere fact that he has
taken such position-to the obvious
delight of Mr.. KhruShchev-serve as
highly diSquieting measure Of how closes
ly he has been identifying himself and
his country with the Kremlin. To put
it mildly, his craftsmanship in that
sense leaves much to be desired.

Paradox in Moscow

In his Semiannual report as head
Of the United States Information Agen-
cy, George V. Allen cites an odd fact
that has moved him to echo Winston
Churchill's remark about the Soviet
Unions being riddle wrapped in
mystery inside an enigma.
The odd fact is simply this: Despite
the Kremlins strident propaganda Will
flying the United States and warning
Russians to regard tourists from our
country as actual or potential spies,
nearly half of MoScow's movie houses
have been showing American-made
films for many weeks past. Moreover,
they are films of a sort that would seem
to contradict most of the party-line Ii
bels, including Nikita Khrushchevs in
the United Nations, about our Govern
ment and our way of life.
Indeed, according to Mr.. Allen,
during the last six months more Rus
slams have seen American motion pic
lures than in all the previous years
since 1917 combined. Out of the 102
notion picture houses operating in Mos
COW on June 80, 1860, As were showing

packed with people and the reaction was
highly favorable at the very moment
when official Soviet propaganda attacks
against the United States were at their
worst"
The puzzled Mr.. Allen has not at
tempted to explain the paradox Of why
the Kremlin thus seems to be letting
these movies weaken or rebut its smear
campaign. But he is sure of one fact,
and it may be encouraging-namely
that all available evidence indicates that
"The interest Of the Russian people in
things American continues unabated,
regardless of the zigs and zagS of the
Soviet propaganda line" ~.

100 Years Ago

Life was full of hard
knocks for newspaper edi-
tors a century ago. Politi-
clans were quick to take
umbrage at printed criti-
ciSm. Arkansas Representa-
tive Albert Rust gave the
New York Tribune's Horace
Greeley q public whipping
here. The Stars editor, w. D.
Wallach. was put upon by
a Virginia Congressman
called Extra Billy" Smith,
but the fracas ended with
the legislator believing: LET
go my thumb; you're chew
ing it to the Sone!" Then
on October Is, 1860, this
paper stated in bold type:
1.-THE Democratic JackasS
Brays and Then Kicks at
The Star-The Democratic
Jackson Association met last
night. :. Mr.. c. C. Edelin,
(otherwise known as 'Lum
Cooper') arose and wished
to know If Mr.. Dug Wallach
was q member of the assoc
alton, and, if so, he moved
that his name be stricken
from the rolls, as he was not
fit to belong to it on account
of the course he had taken
with his little, dirty press.
He had been tagging around
after all the elements of the
opposition to the Breckin-
ridge party, clarifying their
achievements and demon
strations to the detriment of
the national democracy. He
had been in the habit of
publishing any kind of. ad-
vertisement brought to him
by the opposition, however
mischievous to the party Of
which he professed to be a
member. In short. he had
sold out his party for a mess
of potash (sic) and was not
fit to be kept in membership.
Mr.. William Hope said
that Mr.. Wallach's name
had been proposed for men,
bership and enrolled accord
ingly, but that the time for
signing the constitution had
expired without that act hav-
ing been done, and conSe-
quently he was not a member.
Mr.. Edelin'S motion to strike
the name of Mr.. Wallach
from the rolls was put and
carried, with an emphatic
round Of ayes and a few
conservative noes. :" The

Nixon Witness

Wuen ne spoke IN CmC1nnaCl on
October S, Senator Kennedy tried to pin
some responsibility on the Vice PreSi-
dent for the rise of Fidel CaStro-largely,
we gather, because Mr.. Nixon visited
Havana in 1855 and travelled elsewhere
In Latin America in 1858, but did not
foreSee what should have been obvious"
In the course of this indictment
Senator Kennedy mentioned Arthur
Gardner, formerly an American AmbaSS-
ador to Cuba, in support of his COM
plant. Now Mr.. Gardner has been heard
from.
Declaring he was reluctant to get
into this political controversy, Mr.. Gard
ner said he felt compelled to make a
statement because in my mind the Sit
uation in Cuba is being presented for
political purposes in a way that is un-
fair, misleading to the American public,
and detrimental to the best interests
OF the United States" Mr.. Gardner said
Mr.. Kennedy'S speech in some respects
was "unwarranted and dreadful" The
Democratic candidate, he added, is mis-
leading the American people" about the
Cuban situation "either from deliberate
design or from lack Of understanding
Of the facts"
In contrast to his comments on Mr..
Kennedy, the former ambassador spoke
highly Of Mr.. Nixon. He said it was
shocking" for Senator Kennedy to Sug-
gest that the Vice President should have
meddled in Cuban politics in 1855. And,
said Mr.. Gardner, when he returned to
Washington and sought support for his
views the only help he got was from the
Vice President Mr.. Nixon, he said
showed very real understanding of the
situation in Cuba. He has since been
major factor in getting things done that
need to be done, such as strengthening
the State Departments band in Cuban
affairs and emphasizing the role Of the
Organization Of American States"
In word, the testimony of this
witness is that the Vice President has
played a constructive role in the Cuban
problem, while the Democratic candidate
has been misleading the American
people. It seems to us that Mr.. Kennedy
should have something further to say
on this point.

Toure and the KremIin

It is not surprising that President
Sekou Toure Of Guinea has won a stand
ing ovation from Nikita Khrushchev and
other Communist leaders attending the
United Nations General Assembly. After
all, in his speech there, he has echoed
Soviet policy in so many respects that
he certainly has merited the dubious
distinction of receiving resounding
party-line applause.
Thus Mr.. Toure, fresh from his re-
cent very friendly visits to Moscow and
Peiping, has repeated the substance of
Mr.. Khrushchev's hypocritical assault
on Western "colonialism," and he has
fully Endorsed the Kremlin's phony plan
for general and complete disarma-
ment'-a plan sorely lacking in adequate
policing measures. Further, implicitly at
least, he has supported the Soviet Pre-
mler's attack on Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold by charging that the
latter'S staff has created and cleverly
maintained" confusion in international
public opinion "in order to mask the ne
fariouS action of the worst enemies of
CongoleSe freedom and sovereignty"
Again, still echoing the Soviet line,
although not going quite so far as to
demand that the Secretary Generals
office be abolished, Mr. Toure has called
upon the Assembly Immediately" to
recognize up-and-down Premier" Lu-
mumba as the only legitimate govern
ing head in the Congo and to seat his
Representatives" According to Guinea's
President, no other course is permissible,
for it is perfectly clear" that Mr.. Lu-
mumba-who at the moment is being
protected by U. N. forces against arrest
by Colonel Mobutu and the provisional"
CongoleSe regime-haS unchallengeable
rights to the premiership and ought
therefore to have the AsSembly's full
support.
Actually, however, it seems absurd
for Mr.. Toure to say that all this is "per-
fectly clear" The truth is that Mr.. Lu-
mumba has been ousted from the
premiership by President Kasavubu and
that this has been done in accord with
the CongoleSe constitution. Moreover,
the Lumumba parliamentary faction ap-
parently has dwindled to very weak
minority, especially so since the recent
detection of 20 legislators who have quit
his party on the ground that he has de-
libTately helped to create national

Atomic 'Poppycock'

One can hardly pick up the
paper these days without en-
countering an article by a
military scientist explaining
that nuclear fallout is the
next best thing to mothers
milk, and most of these
scholarly dissertations seem
to be written by DR.. Edward
Teller. The article in This
Week October 81 is a par
ticularly annoying example.
Two assertions in DR..
Teller's article can be char
acterized fatty as inaccurate.
He knows perfectly well that
he does not know, and cannot
honestly assert, that there is
no harm whatsoever in test
nuclear fallout. If he wants
to be the only scientist in the
world who believes that fall
out is completely harmless,
well and good, but belief is
not knowledge, and he is well
aware of that fact. OF a piece
with this is his statement
that there could be no con-
tamination from tests under
ground or beyond the moon.
DR.. Teller knows that neither
he nor anyone else can speak
with certainty on this
question.
The scientific poppycock to
one side, the nub of DR.. Tel
ler's article is his insistence
that if we all build fallout
shelters we can make nuclear
war tolerable. He even thinks
that enough shelters might
deter the Russians from at
tacking us. To spread the

Ap0thetic Voters

Again we find people claim
ing. somewhat smugly, that
they find nothing to choose
between the candidates" and
plan to stay home from the
polls on election day. What
an incredible philosophy!
Such apathy is an open in
vitation to the power-hungry
Of the world. Any American
who finds no difference be-
tween the candidates and the
parties this year is just too
lazy to become informed
about the issues.
A democracy deserving Of
the name requires its citizens
to work to make it truly rep
resentative of the will of the
people. If we don't bother to
speak out in support Of our
convictions, If we are too
weak to make q choice on
election day, we not only fail
in our responsibilities, we in
evitably cast a vote against
our form Of government in
the sight Of the whole world.
Staying home on election
day makes a farce Of the
sacrifice Of every man who
ever died for the cause of
liberty from the first days Of
the American Revolution to
the last battle in Korea. Free
men must be willing to stand
up and be counted for their
beliefS-or lose their freedom.
The vast power of each in
dividual ballot should be
cherished, exercised, and pro-
claimed. Failure to vote is
shameful moral cowardice.
Elizabeth BlystOne.
The right of the ballot is
one of the finest and most
sacred possessions of an
American citizen, misused
and disused as it too fire.
Quently is. Yet considerably
less than half Of the quail
fled voters in the United
States trouble themselves to
cast a ballot for or against
candidates offering them
selves as desirable directors
of our Government. This
means that the nonvoting
citizens of this Nation could,
If they voted solidly, sweep
any given administration into
oblivion.
If they persist in their
inertia, in their smugness
and complacency, they do not
deserve even as good govern
ment as they get. Certainly
they could have no grounds
VIII atever for complaint
against any conditions that
might arise. BY their passive
ness, they have silently ac-
Quiesced in the creation Of
whatever kind Of government
they live under. BY ignoring
the surest and only way they
have of changing this govern
ment. they have tacitly ac-
cepted it. If they do not like

Fact: One does not register
