HOuse-Passed Bill Would Authorize NOn-Skeds To Continue Flights

WASHINGTON, R The House passed by voice vote Sat urday a bill to authorize non- scheduled airlines to continue op- erating for another year.
 Operation would be under linn ited certificates permitting the non-skeds to fly no more than 10 round trips monthly between any two points.
 The non-skeds, which prefer to be known as supplemental. air carriers, contend that without Congressional action they will be forced out of business.
 Under the bill which now goes to the Senate, the Civil Aeronau- tics Board would be authorized to renew the limited certificates of 25 non-skeds. In the meantime Congress would have a chance to consider permanent legislation.
 In addition to the 25 certified non-skeds the CAB would be authorized to issue certificates to others which have applied for theqn.

Baby Sitters May Be Counted in New Social Security Legislation

WASHINGTON, R - Baby sit ters may be getting social secur- ity numbers under legislation passed by the House last week.
 One provision of the bill got the nickname "B by Sitter Clause" Actually, it applies to all kinds of casual domestic service.
 It would bring baby sitters - and many others - under Social Security by requiring employers to make payments for any worker receiving S25 during three-month period. The present law requires payments only for those receiving $50 or more quarter.
 The law exempts employees un- der 16 years of age.

The Open Road For Ben Hearse'

TACOMA, R - Three comedy young ladies took off from here Saturday for Alaska in an ann bulance.
 To twist mythology a bit for the moment, they're setting out in their Black Argo - which doubles as hearse - in an ad- venture which brings together friends from childhood here.
 Leader of the expedition and owner of the ambulance, which has been dubbed Ben Hearse," is a University of Arkansas coed, Paige Hardy, l9, of Anchorage. Her companions are Kathleen Dargan, IS, and Jean Hinkle, IT. both graduates of St. Leo's High School here.
 Their Argosy will take them through Montana and Calgary, thence forthWard on the Alcan Highway to Anchorage The trio will sell advertising along the way to finance their trip. After that they'll head for New Work. the two St. Leo graduates want to enter Washington State Uni- versity in the fall.
 Their chariot is a l93G nlodel, once the property of an Arkansas funeral home. Whatever it's pre- vious use, the girls think its home.

Education and Welfare is a measure of
the importance with which Senator
Kennedy himself views that department.
Indeed, no domestic issues In the years
ahead will be more perplexing and con-
troversial than those dealing with the
education and well-being Of all segments
of the population. While Governor
Ribicoff says he is on "all fours" with
the philosophical approach Of Senator
Kennedy to these problems, the reputa-
tion which he gained in Connecticut for
political moderation and nonpartisan-
ship will be assets of unusual value.
II there is a single regret, 1t is that
Governor Ribicoff must of necessity dis
place another exemplary public servant,
Arthur 8. Flemming. AS head Of the

same qualities of sound Judgment and
forthrightness that distinguished his
past service as a member Of the Civil
Service Commission, director OF the

half dozen other important posts. Dur
ing the last 20 years, DR.. Flemming has
left Washington several times, always to
be recalled for some further service. He
is too valuable to be long absent from

Words or Action?

Mayor Leroy s. Bendheim of Alex
andria promises that the city council
will act next week on a sweeping new
program to "revitalize" enforcement of
the housing hygiene code and stimulate
programs Of public housing, urban re-
newal, voluntary restoration and lower
cost private housing.
Well, that surely covers the whole
bundle of failures which have stirred
such furor in the historic old city for
the last several months. AlexandrianS
must be thoroughly disgusted and
ashamed by now, not only at the short
comings Of of1lcial agencies in the vari-
Gus anti-slum programs, but by the
political buck-passing which has been
used to excuse them. And the residents
generally, we imagine, will be watching
closely to see whether the program"
next week is suf1ciently detailed and
specific to really accomplish something,
or whether 1t will amount merely to
more words.

First Secretary

Announcing the selection of his first
cabinet member, President-elect Ken
nedy referred to Abraham A. Ribicoff as
an "old friend and distinguished public
servant" His words were chosen well.
No man did more than Governor
Ribicoff from the very beginning to
launch and sustain the drive that car
ried Senator Kennedy toward the White
House, and 1t was a foregone conclusion
that he would be assigned a major role
in the new administration. Political
sagacity, however, is only one reason his
appointment is being applauded so
widely. Equally important, and perhaps
more so, are the traits of administrative
ability, intelligence and balance which
have marked his unprecedented popu-
larity in Connecticut. One could only
wish, with little chance Of fulfillment,
that all cabinet seats will be filled as ably.
The fact that Governor Ribicoff will
become the fourth Secretary Of Health,

Vote-Froud Inquiry

AS was to be expected, the fraudu-
lent voting issue is beginning to take on
a definite partisan coloration.
Republican National Chairman Nor
ton says there have been shocking
Irregularities and frauds in this election
which constitute national disgrace"
He ties the Democrats to this by citing
one precinct in Chicago were there obvi-
ously was fraud. These votes, he says,
were counted for Senator Kennedy, and
the tally was certified as accurate "by
the Democrats"
The answer Of Democratic Chairman
Jackson is that the Republicans either
are trying to delay certification of the
electoral vote in certain States, and
thereby reduce Senator Kennedy's ma
jority, or they are trying to convince
the public that Senator Kennedy really
did not win the election and that q cloud
has been cast upon his right to assume
the presidency"
Each Of these comments, we suspect,
is on the extreme side. Still, there is
some evidence of fraud, and If 1t is found
to be on scale sufncient to reverse the
result in a State, such as Illinois, then
MIR. Morton is justified in saying that
he has responsibility to pursue the in
quiry. But this Is something which
should be handed with extreme care.
In any election in which more than
SO million votes are cast there are bound
to be instances Of irregularity as well as
fraud, and these will be discovered in
kNfh
unless the fraud is Of such a nature as
to change the result of the election,
there Is a real danger that the Kennedy
victory might become tainta in the
public mind even though the fact Of his
election could not be successfully con-
tested. That this would have serious
consequences, both for the new admins
trAtion and the country, is obvious. OF
course, the possibility Of an inquiry that
would lead to reform in election laws is
another matter. If this can be ac-
complished. the effort will be well
worth while.
There is one more aspect of this
whole matter Suppose, through proof
Of; fraud, Mr.. Nixon might become the
winner by few electoral votes, or, more
likely, that the election should be thrown
into the House by combination Of
changed electoral votes and withheld
electoral votes. Would Mr.. Nixon, faced
with Democratic Congress, want to
take ONCE through any such process?
He hasn't said, one way or the other,
but we can't imagine that the prospect
would be attractive to him.

Human Rights

The Supreme Court is en-
gagged In an abuse Of power
ana the silence Of politicians,
lawyers and the fourth estate
on the matter Is tragic.
The right to maintain
segregation Is a human right
basic to q free society.
Racial integration should
require the consent Of the
parties to the integration.
Forcible integration has no
more relationship to human
brotherhood than a shotgun
marriage to romantic love.
For this reason and others
I oppose the Supreme Courts
Efforts to force integration.
One can, Of course, define
human" rights in strange
ways. The Soviets say we do
not have free elections be-
cause we have only two tools
OF Wall Street to choose
between. while they are free
because they can vote for
one peoples candidate.
The Soviets also claim
political equality. But we
must remember that equali-
ty can be achieved at the
level Of slavery for all. II no
one Is free. we achieve the
equality Of non-freedom. The
forcible integration Of people
Is tyranny. however noble its
intent.
1t can only achieve the
equality Of non.freedom.

Voluntary Prepayment

IL Is futile at this time to guess as
to what Of specific value may emerge
from the wly-aSserted determination
of the American Medical Association to
develop maximum" improvement in
the programs Of voluntary, nonproflt
medical and hospital prepayment plans.
There is little doubt that the hope
uppernoSt in the minds Of many of the
thousands of ANA members who met
here this week was to erect q bulwark
against compulsory government pro-
grams Of medical aid. The resolution
they passed specifically stated that such
an effort was compelled" by the "cur-
rent social, political and economic
developments"
These, Of course, are the words that
will be seized upon most widely in inter-
preting the ANA action. The fact, how
ever, is that the more realistic doctors,
including those District of Columbia
physicians who stimulated the ANA ac-
+. tion and who are working toward It's
fulfilllnent, harbor no illusions that any
single new plan can be developed or even
proposed which would satisfy all the
various medical care needs which. cur
rently are being discussed. But they do
believe that drastic improvements can be
made in existing voluntary Blue Cross
and Blue Shield plans, in coordination
later with commercial prepayment pro-
grams, which would decrease the need
for government Intervention; and this is
the goal toward which they are working.
Oficials Of the American Hospital
Association and the national Blue Cross
and Blue Shield organizations are meet
ing in New York this week end, as a first
step, to discuss ways to expand dement's
and to develop uniform standards Of
service throughout the country. Roughly
One-quarter Of the total national health
care bill, according to these officials,
now is being paid through voluntary
prepayment plans. They are convinced
that this percentage can be doubled,
through co-ordinated improvements, in
the immediate future.
These efforts, In our view, can pro-
duce nothing but good. The medical
voluntary prepayment movement since
World War II has made phenomenal
advances, and that fact too often Is OBJ
scured by criticism Of its deficiencies.
What is important now is that these
shortcomings are being given the at
tention they deserve, and we are glad
that Washington doctors have had q
hand in directing a campaign at the
national level to correct them.

Nosser and the Congo

AS in the case of Ghana land before
that the Soviet Union and Communist
Czechoslovakia), President Kasavubu's
government has had ample reason to de-
mand the recall Of the United Arab
Republics representatives in Leopold
vile. For the evidence indicates that
these individuals, far from adhering to
"neutralist" course, or abiding by the
letter and spirit Of the decisions reached
by the United Nations, have played an
altogether impermissible conSpiratorial
role in the Congo.
Thus, as charged by Mr.. KaSavubu
In personal letter to President NaSser,
this role has consisted Of persistent ef-
forts to NEEDLE" in internal Congolese
affairs. More specifically, and most
seriously, 1t has involved systematic
attempt to put back into power Patrice
Lumumba, the ousted Premier who now
Is under arrest and facing trial in
connection with his whirling -derviSh.
haos-breeding, proASoviet policies. Ac-
cordingly, "for the time being" Leopold
vile has severed relations with Cairo
and ordered that all the U. A. RS diplo-
mats be withdrawn Immediately" from
the Congo.
In his reaction to this, Colonel
NasSer has taken line that tends very
strongly to confirm the view that the
U. A. R., despite its so-called "neu-
traliSm," is committed to a Congolese
policy that is completely partisan and
non-neutral on the side Of Mr.. Lumumba
and the Kremlin. At any rate, as If
contemptuous of the fact that a strong
U. N. majority has recognized the Kasa-
vubu government as the only legitimate
representative of the Congo Republic,
Cairo has lashed out against that gov
ernment as "stooge" Of Belgium, and
1t has seized all Belgian commercial
properties in Egypt.
The logic involved here, or the lack
Of 1t, is little bit confusing. Actually,
Of course, there is good cause to doubt
that Brussels has had any significant or
controlling influence on Mr.. Kasavubu's
decision to break with Cairo, and so the
seizure Of Belgian properties in the
U. A. r. seems to be little more than an
act Of senseless spite. Certainly 1t is an
act that reflects no credit or glory on
Colonel Nasser and his regimes singu-
larly prejudiced brand of "neutralism."
