The House Appropriations
Committee refused today to f.
nance $500 Of the 25,5O0 new
Jobs planned for next year for
the Treasury and Post Office
Departments.
In a bill appropriating S4,-
795,4l4000 in new funds for
the two departments for the
year starting July l, the COM
mittee approved financing for
about 10000 new jobs, more
than 10000 Of them in the
Post Office Department.
Refusal to go all the way
on administration job-boosting
plans followed a pattern cut
by the committee on previous
bills financing the Commerce
and Interior Departments.
1t accounted for a large part
Of the $1O2,439.OOO cut from
new money requests made by
the President.
The total in the bill included
S3,97l 100000 for the Post Of
flee Department. S622.8490 900
for the Treasury Department
and Sl.565,OOO for the United
States Tax Court. Reductions
were S82 million for the postal
service. S20.241,OOO for the
Treasury Department and
$4,000 for the Tax Court.

The most influential
among the voices which sue
cessfully urged Vice PreSi-
dent Nixon to enter the Wis
consin primary were those
of former House colleagues
from that State. They told
him it was the only way
to hold the diScordant party
factions together for the fall
effort to recapture the gov
ernorShip.
The Capital has been in
trigued by the question of
why Mr.. Nixon, probably the
least inpulsive politician in
the Nation, chose to run the
risk of polling fewer votes in
Wisconsin than the COM
bined total of Senators Ken
needy and Humphrey. Should
he overwhelm them in pop
ular favor, it would be i'm
presSive. but that is a long
chance as they are in an at
misunderstanding fight and
Mr.. Nixon is unopposed.
The answer seems to lie in
that small number of young
er House Republicans who in
1949 organized the Chowder
and Marching Society for
legislative and social pur-
poses. AS nearly as Mr.. Nixon
can be said to have any real
troops under his banner here,
the society furnishes them.

is about banning tests. This
is based on a false issue
alleged danger from radio
active fallout, and the Soviets
keep on talking about prohi-
bition of underground testing,
in which. of course, there is
no danger of fallout.
A curious phase of the
controversy is what is hap
pening in France. The Com
muniSts there have for sew
eral years now been denounc-
ing tests. and they have
managed to lambaSte the
United States as a war
monger because it has not
been willing to stop all tests
without some foolproof meth
cd of inspection. Now France
has tested a bomb herself and
doubtless will soon develop
and manufacture more Of
them.
Unwittingly, De Gaulle may
have focused worldwide at
tention on the real issue,
which is not the ban on tests
but the further production
or use of nuclear bombs by
any nation.
While expense is a tempo
rary barrier to the develop
ment of atomic weapons by
most countries and Congress
is reluctant to amend exist
Ing laws to permit any Shar-
ing Of nuclear knowledge with
other countries, the produc-
ton of bombs by the "nu-

United States goes unre-
Stricted. This means that a
threat Of a holocaust for the
world will not be removed
until all bombs in the exist
ing stockpiles are destroyed.
This cannot happen until
there is mutual trust. And
there can be no mutual trust
until peoples get closer to-
gether and free governments
replace autocratic govern
ments. That's the basic is
sue that has been befogged
by the protracted discussions

All these results of the

Johnson's Coup on Rights Bill

Senator johnson had oper-
ated on unanimous consent
and there was nothing that
could be done.
The debate will be long
and bitter. There is talk by
the more incensed of a fill

ing off, this fever likely will
go down, though a hard core
group of three or four men,
bers may try it.
Senator johnson still will
go to the Democratic Con-

Senator Kennedy will I'M

leaders. There is a campaign
being waged by some of the
Senator's more influential
supporters to work out a

This has little chance of
success.
Senator johnson will have

will not hurt him. Several

to heed a personal plea by
the former Governor of Vir-

their outrageous position.
This and other equally indie

Deep South much in loss of

they do stand alone.
Senator Johnson, in out

opposition was so confident it
had him in a parliamentary
Straltjacket that few mem

the House and Senate COM
mittees, chaired by Southern
members, had agreed to bottle
the measures up with tightly
placed corks. Thus, the Texan
theoretically would not be
able to keep his word.
But Senator johnson, whose
skill as a master of maneu-
verS is well established, did it
very simply. He employed one
of the cherished Senate rules
which allows amendments to
a bill, the contents of which
are not germane to the
amendment. This rule is one
often used. True. it rarely
has been employed in a major

Now that France has devel-
oped the atom bomb, other
nations can do the same. All
they need is the money.
There is plenty of scientific
knowledge available. There
is no way to prevent the
production or use of nuclear
weapons except by interna-
tional action that could be
applied against every country
in the world.
The truth is that no steps
have been taken to bar the
production or use of nuclear
weapons.
All the talk thus far has
been about banning future
tests" But no proposal has
come from any government
that it would be willing to
negotiate an agreement to
ban the use of nuclear weap-
onS in the future by destroy
ing those already produced.
If disarmament means any
thing. either from a humani-
tartan or an economic stand
point. then the mere stop

all the knowledge possible,

Why aren't the Big Four
