plan by which the expenses
would be met out of general
revenues. The outlays, more
over. would be confined to
those who are in need. The
administration program is
described as a voluntary
medical insurance plan for
the needy aged"
There has been some talk
about the whole problem be-
coming an issue in the COM
ing presidential campaign. It
should be. For the American
people are going to have to
decide sooner or later wheth-
er or not they want a
cradle to- the grave" well
fare program, with certain
taxpayers providing the
money for everybody, includ-
ing those who are well able
to take care Of the medical
expenses Of their parents
and grandparents. The issue,
of course. lends itself to po-
litical Misrepresentation. Al
ready some of the Demo-
cratic presidential candidates
are trying to make it appear
that the administration is
opposed to medical care for
the aged, which just isn't
true.
The administration, to be
sure, doesn't want to see a
medical program started by
the Government that would
lead to "socialized medicine"
with the deterioration in
medical service that has
characterized such programs
in other countries. Actually,
at the end of 1858, a total of
II million. persons already
had major medical insurance,
as compared to 100000 at
the end of 1851. Also, the
figures for the year 1859 are
expected to show a further
big increase in the amount
of medical insurance among
those who are IS years or
older.
The problem can be han
died for the most part by the
citizens themselves, through
insurance programs at small
fees per month. AS for the
needy, the Federal and State
governments are necessarily
obligated to bear the cost.
But it will be small compared
to the welfare. programs be-
ing proposed in Congress to-
day to be paid for through
various devices that call for
increases in social security
tax rates.

DAVID LAWRENCE

1nnatlon may be tenn
porarily checked, but the
bill for past imitation is now
up for payment. The Amer
ican people are about to be
asked, for example, to pay in
increased taxes the cost Of
higher medical expenses for
the aged.
Naturally. .union-labor
leaders, who have been in
large part responsible for the
inhationary wave of prices in
the last few years, are 'spon-
sors of the new program Of
medical care to be paid by
the Government out of new
taxes. But the largest num-
Der Of citizens who may have
to foot the bill is to be found
among the self-employed and
the farm and city workers
who are not members of labor
unions.
The union-labor leaders
want the social security tax
base to be increased from
$4,000 a year to $4,000. This
means that employers would
have to pay an additional
1920 million, while workers
and self-employed would
have to pay $500 million. But
there are only eight million
workers with incomes be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 a
year. and they would pay
about 5000 million a year,
whereas the eight million
workers with incomes above
$4,000 a year would pay an
increase OF more than $500
million.
This would mean a diminu-
ton in weekly take home"
pay and. of course. it could
result In new demands by
the unions for increased
wages for those who have to
pay the higher tax. Inciden-
tally, under the labor backed
plan, about 81 million persons
with incomes of $4,000 a year
or less-including most trade
union members - wouldn't
pay any increase in social Sc
curity taxes but would even-
tually receive the benefits,
and so would their aged
relatives now.

ed down the flag, the reac-
ton among the people, I am
told, was about as dismally
discouraging as it was among
the heads Of government.
Our allies had been only
partly cooperating with
NATO for some time, but with
the advent of Gen. de Gaulle,
which established the closest
alliance of France with Ger
many in hundreds Of years, a
new spirit permeated Europe.
1t was marked by a stronger
self-assertion; by a detach-
ment from the Anglo-Saxon
economic and political tute-
lage and by a determination
to increase the military and
economic capabilities of
these continental states to
the point where they are no
longer needed to be dependent
on the United States.
The Europeans had come
to consider themselves as
genuine partners in the COM
mon endeavor to arrest .he
Communist march, not only
in Europe but in all other
parts Of the world. Then
came the bombshell of the
exchange of visits and the
spirit Of Camp David" The
latter was recognized by re-
sponsible Europeans as a Red
propaganda phrase. But the
people themselves felt the
United States was about
ready to make a. deal" in
the same manner the British
did with Hitler in the days
before the outbreak of World
War II. These views were
not shared by the political
and military leaders in this
area. But that impression
was given to the rank and
file of people.
A French military man put
it this way: "Mr. Khru-

sue of human rights that it
is purely a domestic issue.
1t is plain that some years
ago the old customs of the
old status quo reached new
plateau. 1t was only 1947
that Britain was surrender
ing what are now the Repub-
lies of India, Pakistan,
Burma and was moving out
of Palestine, surrendering
its mandate there. Israel was
born out Of that travail. The
Dutch then were trying to
retrieve what is now Indo-
neSia.
When was High Noon for
the "old days?" Some time
before that. 1t is never pos
sible to pinpoint the exact
time. But the process does
not stop.
This is for us the next
great plateau after the Civil
War. In 1861, slavery was the
accepted custom. 1t was de-
Tended as Biblically inspired.
Old customs are not easily
uprooted. But, in 1861. Rus
sia's czar had freed the serfs.
The conscience of the world
condemned slavery. Those
who clutched it to their
breasts and said, This is
mine," and who refused to
agree to a slow change, lost
all.
Old customs of denying
equal human rights in law,
the ballot, education. all
public. unsupported facili-
ties, and general citizenship
are difficult to change. But
the conscience Of the world
is heavy. A philosopher has
warned us that those who
do not learn from the errors
of the past are doomed to
repeat them.

PARIS CBy Air Mail) AT
no time since the establish
ment Of NATO have our al
lies on the European main
land felt so much the need
for economic and military
strength.
And at no time in the last
II years have they been
willing to make such a real
effort to organize their eco
nomic, military and spiritual
power to stand up against
the growing menace of in
ternational communism in
areas other than Western
Europe.
Yet at no time since its
birth in 1919 has the NATO
alliance itself been so shaky.
This may seem paradoxical.
Yet 1t is accurate.
I will try to give, the in
side story of why NATO has
become so weakened in the
last few months. This pic
ture comes from conversa-
tions with Italian, German,
French and other civilian
military leaders who cannot
be mentioned by name for
obvious reasons. But I can
vouch for the honesty of the
statements, having known
most Of the people for a good
many years.
The disintegration of NATO
began when an amazed con-
tinental Europe learned that
Washington-the leader of
the fight against Communist
Imperialism - had invited
Prime Minister Khrushchev
to be its guest Of honor and
announced the President was
going to repay the call at his
earliest convenience. Until
then the Soviet head Of gov
ernment had been boycotted
except for his visit to Lon
don. But Europeans have

ish political antics. How

Hatfield Waits and Prepares

Smith, leading Republican
candidate for the Senate.
What he finally did, in
political effect, was to steri-
lie the Senate vacancy ex-
listing between now and next
January. His appointee is a
76-year-old jurist. who is a
registered Democrat long out
of politics, Hall Lusk. Sem
ator Lusk is never going any
where in politics. His con-
Servatism will insure that his
votes do not trouble the
Eisenhower administration,
and anyway he is part of a
very large majority.
Gov. Hatfield gets a divi-
dend in the chance to make
a Supreme Court appoint
ment. Also Senator Lusk is
a Catholic, so that the Gov
ernor, a leading Baptist lay
man, gets credit for a bow in
the direction of the Catholic
voters just when their politi-
cal consciousness is at a high
pitch because of Senator
Kennedy'S role in the presi-
Dental picture, including the
Oregon primary.
This is not the sole in
stance Of rising Republican
sideration for the
so-called Catholic vote. Dem
ocrats acknowledge it is good
politics. A Catholic presi-
Dental candidate remains an
unknown quantity in a gen.
eral election. Yet most Cath
olics are Democrats and con-
ceivably could stay home very
mad indeed If their attrac-
tive Senator loses the nomi-

but it surely helped disints-
crate the NATo."
The reason NATO has be-
come so shaky might best be
presented in the following
composite picture obtained
from talks with high-rank-
ing military and diplomatic
figures: 1.-The North Atlantic
Treaty Organization sprang
from the fear that the USSR
might invade Western Eu-
rope and establish herself on
the borders of the Atlantic.
1t was a rush job in which
you Americans carried the
main burden.
when Western Europe be-
came self-supporting and be-
gan to think seriously about
its own defenses without the
need of imposing on you too
heavily you began to change
your tune. You began to be-
lieve. or so it seemed, that the
best way to avert the Red
encroachments was to talk
to them'-just as our lead
ers and the British did with
Hitler. We are beginning to
recognize that the world
conflict in the next decade or
so must stem from a clash
between the United States
and the Soviet Union in an
area away from Europe.
I'VE are already receiving
indications that in the event
of an Am erica n-Soviet
Chinese conflict we had
better mind our own business.
I'VE appreciate what you
have done for US throughout
these many years. We fer
vently wish that if there is
such a clash you will win
handsomely - otherwise we
also shall be doomed. But all
the same, we must be realists
and recognize that the pres
ent system of alliance as
represented by the NATO no
longer fulf1lls the objective
for which it was created. It
has become obsolete"

Young Oregon Governor Called Capable
AS He MoneuveTs for Future Action

Representative, only two as
State Senator and only two
as Secretary of State. Be-
sides, as q result Of his ILL
ness and his feud with Sem
ator Morse, Senator Neu-
berger was at the peak Of
his popularity. The Cover
nor let that one go by.
A sudden heart attack
struck down the Senator.
The Governor came under
instant pressure to seize the
seat for the Republicans and
from the vantage point of
incumbency, run for it. He
was also beSieged to appoint
the Senator's widow, Maurine
Neuberger, an experienced
politician in her own right.
AS untested Oregon law
commands him to appoint to
office a member of his pred
eceSsor's own party. Gov.
Hatfield could have named a
Republican or independent
and tested the constitution
ality of that law.
He took none of these
positive measures, any one
OF which would have brought
a positive reaction. He still
would have been subject to
the charge that he was a
young man in too much of a
hurry. Also, he had voted
for the untested law, which
incidentally was introduced
in the Oregon Legislature by
Senator Neuberger and got
the vote of former Gov. Elmo
