cherrily and she was busily pre-

noise and confusion. Dismayed,

panic. Just outside her kitchen

was that it was coming through

The Pennsy Rolls Again

The Pennsylvania Railroad is rolling
again today-though not at full speed.
Most of it's 10000 recently striking nom
operating workers and its $4,000 addi-
tional strike-furloughed employees are
back on their jobS-but not all. So are
a lot of other, workers who do not work
for the p r. r. anyway, but somehow
or other do not work at all when the
Nations largest rail carrier is shut down.
Some of the systems 10000 daily pas

strike-stalled freight cars are back in

though some of each kind Of traffic may
be lost indefinitely. But perhaps by

will be back to normal" on the PennSy,

So, presumably, all'S well that ends
well-if and when it finally ends well.
Mike Quill, president of the Transport
Workers Union, larger of the striking
unions that represented minority of
P. R. r. employees, has expressed him.
self as delighted with this breakthrough
in rail labor management relations
the first complete shutdown of this rail-
road in ia years. The agreement
reached, Mr.. Quill said, was achieved
"by real genuine collective bargaining
and this is the way it should be DONE"
Somewhere along the way he added,
according to the Associated Press, that
Gin 18th iSic) century labor relations
only the strike weapon can do the job"
Actually, it is not quite clear who
won anything out of this 12-day paral-
ysiS of great segment of the Nations
transportation system. Union and COM
pany SpokeSmen interpret things differ
entity The details are largely technical
and the issues themselves (wages were
not among them) were almost unbeliev-
able in what is called free enterprise
system. For example, Mr.. Quill is now
willing that the railroad may contract
out some of its maintenance work-if
showing is made to the satisfaction of
his union that there will be certain
percentage of saving to the carrier. Not
otherwise. There are other comparable
provisions in this turning point for up
to date labor relations on the Nations
railroads"

public interest and the welfare of the
national economy are not among those
who have gained anything - immedi-

1t Can Hurt All of Us

If the so-called religious issue in
this campaign could be resolved by full
and unusually candid discussion, Sen
ator Kennedy'S meeting with the Prot
eStant ministers in Houston last night
would go far toward accomplishing
that purpose. AS he has done from the
beginning, in facing up to the unpleas-
ant fact that he must meet the issue
squarely, he again handled the subject
with grace and courage.
And If there were any appropriate
time for both of the candidates, as
Vice President Nixon suggested Sunday
night, to draw the curtain on the re-
ligiouS issue and, in so far as they are
concerned, to refrain from mentioning
it again, that time would be now. Both
Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Kennedy, it seems
to us, have said about all they can say
on the subject. Anything more they say
can only be repetition.
Yet the proposition advanced by
Mr.. Nixon and welcomed by Mr.. Ken
nedy for a cutoff date for further talk
about religion is probably unrealistic.
We doubt if it will work. 1t is not Mr..
Nixon or Mr.. Kennedy who raised the
issue in the first place. 1t is not they
who will keep it alive. And as new
questions are raised by others, which
call for some response from them, they
will be hard put as candidates to evade
them through silence. It is unfortunate
that this is true, but we fear that it is
true.
A good deal is being said about how
Mr. Nixon, as well as Mr.. Kennedy, can
suffer from the effects, now that the
issue exists. Both candidates know
about that. What seems to be less ap-
parent, certainly to those who are
objecting to Mr.. Kennedy because of
his religion, is that it is the American
people as a whole, and principles they
cherish as a nation, not the fortunes Of
any political candidates, that will suffer
most by continuing exploitation Of that
issue. Those responsible for keeping
the issue alive have embarked on a
hazardous course indeed, for themselves
and everybody else.

See-Sow in Chaos

Events in the Congo have reached
such a state of utter confusion that
even the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil with Communist Poland and Russia
dissenting as uSuaD has admitted its
baff1ement by voting to adjourn tempo
rarily in the hope that the situation will
somehow clarity itself.
The poStponement, however, is likely
to come to an end within matter of
hours, for two Congolese delegations
are now pressing to be recognized and
heard by the Council. One of these rep
reSentS President KaSavubu and the
new government he has proclaimed in
the wake of firing and briefly jailing
Premier Lumumba. But the latter, whose
followers are shouting that now it's
Mr.. KaSavubu'S turn to be put behind
bars, claims to be the sole legitimate
governing authority in Leopoldville, and
he has his own delegation in New York
to argue the matter
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold has already indicated that the
Congo Republics provisional conStitu-
ton supports the legality of Mr.. Kasa-
vubu'S dismissal of Mr.. Lumumba, but
the question remains highly debatable
in the Soviet view. Accordingly, with
the two Congolese rivals riding a kind
Of See-Saw of power in an atmosphere

faces an exceedingly difficult problem
in determining which of the two "gov-
ernmentS" is genuinely legitimate And
the problem is as explosive as it is pri-

mination to keep backing the Commu-
nist-leaning Lumumba regime.
Actually, of course, the situation in
the Congo would not be nearly so an
archie as it is If the Russians were
not deliberately and Systematically help
ing the Lumumba faction to resist the
U. MS efforts to restore law and order
Although those efforts are being carried

United Arab Republics reported plans
to withdraw their troops from the U. N.
forests to make the country Red
satellite and base for further Soviet
advances in Africa.
This is the one thing clear in the
thoroughly confusing and chaotic Con-
golese situation. Plainly enough, it con-
StituteS grave threat to the develop
ment of independence in the emerging
African lands. More than that, 1t con-
fronts the U. N. with challenge of the
most deadly import in terms of its po-

Challenges Rambler

AS an occasional reader of
THE Rambler" I have a deep
admiration for George Ken
nedy's deft use Of the sweep
ing generality. However, I
cannot leave unchallenged
his statement of Septem-
ber Z:
"All those who contributed
to the release of atomic
energy in the laboratory .
were Europeans"
I would like to introduce
The Rambler to such native
Americans as Robert Bacher,
Robert Oppenheimer, Nor
man Hilberry and Alvin
Weinberg, to name only a
very few.
The debt we owe the Euro
pean pioneers of atomic en-
ergy cannot be ignored, but
I would counsel The Ram
bier against acquiring q
sense of inferiority simply be-
cause he didn't happen to be
born in Budapest.

Satisfied With G. 0. P.

May I say one word about
the Democratic nominees
who are going around the
United States telling all who
will listen that we are a "sec-
ond class country? If they
keep on saying it, people will
begin to believe them.
The two gentlemen who
are saying it are both mil
lionaires so I don't think they
can blame the Republicans
for that. But who made the
Potsdam and Yalta agree
ments with Russia? They
surely did that.
After eight years of EiSen-
hover we have had no wars
where our young men and
husbands were getting killed
off or MANNED. What do
they want now? To get real
chummy with the Russians
and hand them some more
territory?

Salute to q Soldier

On this Tooth anniversary of the
birth of John j. PerShing the Nation
respectfully Salutes a great soldier and,
implicitly, the fading army of Ameri-
cans who fought under him more than
40 years ago to make the world safe
for democracy" BY today'S nuclear-age
standards, 1t was a primitive sort of war
which General of the Armies PerShing
fought back in 1918. It was war of
foot soldiers and trenches and mud
and hand-to-hand combat-but just as
deadly for those who participated as
any that has been fought since.
1t is proper that we should pay trib-
ute to General Pershing not only for his
admirable leadership of our fighting
men on the fields of France but for
his equally admirable determination to
maintain separate, albeit coordinate,
army on the Allied front. He success
fully resisted efforts of the French to
amalgamate our troops with theirs-a
move which General Pershing correctly
cor1tended would impair morale and de-
stroy the esprit d. corps which had so
much to do with American victories in
battle.
On this anniversary it is proper,
also, to remind Congress that it has
yet to grant the requested authority
for erection of an appropriate memo
rial to General Pershing in the irregu-
lar block between 14th and 18th streets
on the south side of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Northwest. The memorial, planned
by the American Battle Monuments
Commission, which the General once
headed, would consist of series of
fountains with statue of General Per-
shing in the background on the 18th
street side. The bill to create such
monument was passed by the Senate at
the recent session, but was lost in the
House through inaction. We hope the
next Congress will approve the memo
rial without further delay.

The article in The Sunday
Star Editorial Section about
Senator Kyle Of South Da-
kota, author of the bill creatS
ing Labor Day as a legal
holiday back in 1893 is inter-
esting. Read on Labor Day
1860, it is a bit sardonic.
The good Senator's motive
was to honor the working
people, so labor could be
given a deserved place in the
scheme of society" Labor in
our day has scarcely recipro-
Gated with honor or even
common decency in tying up
a common carrier, the PennSy
Railroad over a holiday when
a lot of members of the $50
ciety" it is supposed to belong
to need that carrier. Labor.
it seems, has still not found
its place in society, since it
feels no responsibility to it.
1t prefers to exist apart. basil
cally anti-social and sadistic
in its approach to its prob.
lens to which it never sees
any side but its own. Labor
was a minority in Senator
Kyle's day; ii has become a
monster in ours. In its in
Satiable greed foStered by the
power-lust of its unions, it
moves ever farther away
from anything we should
wish to honor in American
life, and ever closer to the
murky neither world of crimi-
nality. Does not Labor bor-
row from the mentality of
the latter when it stages its
sadistically calculated "jobs"
like the great railroad rob-
berry over Labor Day 1860?
Senator Kyle no doubt
meant we'll; may his soul rest
in peace; but honor is

our era would be more aptly
expressed by calling the first

predatory groups both inside
and outside the law without

bers of such groups could GER

well-meant error had run full

Diary vs.. History

marine sinking in the Medi-

Mr.. Hoskin quoted his diary
as recording the victim of the

This is incorrect. The sub

Emmons, Gleaves, Hamble-
ton, Hilary P. Jones, NieldS

of Royal Air Force Coastal

skipper, Guenther Prien, were
killed by HMS Wolverine on
March 8, 1941, in the North

The kill of U-616 was a
notable achievement in itself.

On Greeting Mr.. K.

Mr.. Khrushchev is coming
to America again. Nobody
has invited him, nobody
wants him, but with the
brazen effrontery of the man
he is coming anyhow. He is
moreover bringing with him
ITO top Communists and
heads of satellite nations to
show them that he "dares
beard the lion in his dem
Uncle Sam in his United Ma
tions-in short to use the
U.N. as a sounding board for
some of his boldest and
most mendacious propa-
ganda.
Last year he came and we
treated him as if he were a
gentleman and an honored
guest. We spent a million
dollars in guarding him from
insult or injury. But he and
his kind have no conception
of good manners and friend
ly treatment, and he went
home to show movies of the
friendly crowds as proof Of
his popularity in the United
States and how, from the
President down, they fawned
and cringed in his mighty
presence.
This year let us give him
and his vile encourage the
reception they deserve. When
they drive up the streets, let
the crowds that will always
gather to see any strange
animal not found in this free
country, maintain a dead
silence. If a few of the Com
munistS and unthinking be-
gin to shout. then let all
those silent Americans
drown their feeble cheering
in a roar of "BooS", and cries
of Beast" murderer" and a
few other well-deserved epi-
thets. All this would be small
repriSal for the riots and
mobs that they worked up
against the heads of our gov
ernment when they went
abroad on a tour of peace
and good will.
When this unlimited cav
alcade arrives at U.N. let no
notice be taken of their en-
trance. If Mr.. K, full of vio-
lence and vodka, tries to Or
ate, let him be told that he is
admitted to the Assembly to
observe and listen, not to
talk.
If this plan is carried out
by President, press and pub
lie, I believe Mr.. K. and his

ing mad but with a better

how we feel about him and
his kind of tyrants.

'Riqht-to-Work'

We all agree that workers
have the right to organize
but does this also not imply
that workers have the right
not to organize, if they so

One of the major aims of
the so-called Liberal" Dem
ocrats is forced repeal of the
so-called "Right-to-W Work"
laws enacted in 20 of the so
States.
Since it is implied in many
of their campaign promises
that they intend to do this
through Federal legislation, it
appears that they are plot
ing to deliberately violate
