Bio Difference

commenting on a speech in
the House a few days ago by
Representative Bow of Ohio,
urging that the residents of
the District of Columbia be
granted the right to vote for
President, and emphasizing
that he was not dealing with
the subject Of home rule, The
Star points out that there is
a difference, and expressed
the hope that no one would
be confused between the two
when the Senate-approved
constitutio al amend
ment providing the national
vote reaches the House floor.
There is. indeed. a differ
ence-a difference that is
constantly being overlooked.
The joint resolution, as ap-
proved by the Senate, does
give the people of the Dis
trict the right to vote for
President and Vice President
"a right which Is mainly
important for mere senti-
mental.reasons, since no elec-
ton since jefferson has been
so close that the result could
be changed by the four or
five votes from the District
of Columbia.
But as for representation
in Congress, that is a differ
ent matter. AS approved by
the Senate, the people Of the
District would be entitled to
Delegates to the House Of
Representatives equal to the
number Of Representatives to
which they would be entitled
If the District were a State
with such powers as the Con-
gress. by law, shall deter
mine" There would be no
representation in the Senate
whatever. And what powers
would our delegates" to the
House have? The amend
ment. itself, provides for
none; and unless the Con-
greSS saw fit to make provi-
sion "by law"-and it is not
required by the amendment
to do anything, no powers is
just what our delegates would
have. In the meantime they
could find themselves seats
in the House balcony and
watch the show from there
just as you and I. if we have
a pass.
The sponsors of this Joint
resolution would have us be-
lieve that Congress would
promptly pass the necessary
law to give our delegates the
same powers as Representa-
tives from the States. If this
Is the intent, let us have it
written into the amendment.
1t is a well-known fact that
verbal promises in addition
to a written contract have no
validity. So, to use a legal
maxim, "caveat emptor"-
"let the buyer beware. Be-
ware lest when you think
you have bought a baseball,
you find out too late, that
you have bought only a
bubble.
Fifteen States have a
smaller population than the
District of Columbia, and in
1948 the people of the Dis
trict paid $363.210,489 in
Federal taxes, which is more
than was paid by any one of
25 States. Why in the name

is ever-increasing, it is clear
that nonpunishment is no
deterrent to crime either.
Furthermore, criminologists
agree that there are many
reasons for crime, but a very
important one is that crime
does pay. Especially does it
pay the professional Grim
inals, the gangsters, rack
eteers, gamblers and thieves.
And it pays their lawyers
handsomely, too.
Judge Bazelon would cure
crime by rehabilitating the
criminals. He is putting the
cart before the horse. It would
be much more effective to
eliminate the cause, namely,
to insure that crime does
not pay. Judge Bazelon could
do this by interpreting the
laws to protect the public
rather than to protect the
criminal.
AS a first step in this direc-
ton, maybe he can explain
how a judge protects the pub
lie when he frees a vicious
criminal on some trivial legal
technicality.

Dr.. Frondizi!s Dilemma

Argentlna'S President FrondiZi ap-
pears to be facing an agonizing choice
between economic responsibility and po-
1itical expediency. There may be some
room for compromise. But there cannot
be much compromise in a choice be-
tween preserving the national economic
welfare and grave threat to the coun-
try'S brief, two-year experiment with
democratic government.
The stage for this dilemma was set
during the past week end when mid
term congressional elections showed the
Presidents Radical IntranSigent Party
running relatively poor third in terms
of popular vote. Running first was the
Peoples Radical Party, but perhaps even
more ominouS was the second high total
of blank ballots interpreted as support
ing either the extreme right PeroniStaS
or the extreme left Communists. Al
though both parties are outlawed, &C
counting for the absence of their names
from the ballots, the possibility of a
coup by force-even preventive" one
by the military-iS not to be discounted.
At the heart of the potential crisis
is DR.. Frondizis effort to set the coun-
trys economic house in order A re-
Spected student of economic and social
problems of his country, DR.. Frondizi was
chosen President in 1858 in the first free
elections in Argentina in IL years. He
won then with support that extended
from right TO left in the political spec
trum, and his reaction was to initiate
program OF stringent economic aus
terity-plus cooperation with our own
Government, with the International
Monetary Fund and with private indus
trial and banking enterprises of the
United States. The twin objectives were
the curbing of imitation and the deveI-
opment of Argentina's natural resources.

that it serves to emphasize,

When a great newspaper
can commit such an error, it

accurate picture of our rela-
tionships with China.
Your conclusion is that at
is good to know that popular

erfully supporting the gen.

grown increasingly strong on
the side of freedom" This
is also an incredible error.
There is no more basis for
such a statement than saying
that Franco and Trujillo

such important matters be-

Rockefeller Acceptable to President
BY GOULD LINCOLN

hered in connection with
Vice President Nixon's can
didacy for the presidential
nomination as long as Gov.
Rockefeller appeared q po-
tential candidate. This was
as near an Endorsement of
the Governor for the vice
presidential nomination as
the President has gone. What
he said, however, is likely to
spur further speculation re-
garding the New Yorker as
the ultimate running mate
for Mr.. Nixon. 1t follows close
on the heels of Mr.. Dewey's
expressed view that such a
ticket would be of great
strength. When he announced
last winter that he was not
entering the race for the Re-
publican presidential nomi-
nation, Gov. Rockefeller
made a very strong state
ment he was not a candidate
for second place on the tick
ct - and that nothing would
change him, or make him ac-
cept a vice presidential NOM
ination. This, however, will
not prevent pressure being
exerted to get him to change
his mind.
The Governors Alternatives
The New York Governor
has two more years to serve
Of his present term as the
States Chief Executive. 1t is
expected he will seek a Sec
ond term when 1862 rolls
around. If he wishes, he can
turn down all efforts to get
him to run for Vice President
with Mr.. Nixon this year and
await the turn of events. If
Mr.. Nixon is defeated by a
Democrat for the Presidency,
Gov. Rockefeller will be in
position to seek the Republic
can nomination for Presi-
dent in 1964-provided he
wins reelection as Governor.
In some quarters it has been
argued this would be the best
course for him-indeed, such
an argument was made even
before he withdrew himself
from the presidential race
this year. The Governor can
give as his reason for declin-
ing to run for Vice President
with Mr.. Nixon that he be-
lieveS his first duty is to serve
out his full term as Governor.
This argument, however, was
not advanced when he gave
up running for President a
few months ago. He said at
that time he had become con-
vinced that the party leaders
who controlled the national
convention did not want a
contest over the presidential
nomination and were for Mr..
Nixon.
One thing is certain, if
Gov. Rockefeller should run
for Vice President on a Nix
on-Rockefeller ticket, it would
undoubtedly strengthen the
G. o. P.'s chances for a ma
t1onal election victory next
November. And if the ticket
won, it would doubtless mean
a Nixon-for- President candi-
dacy again in 1864. This NAV
not f1t with Gov. Rockefeller's
own ambitions.
On the other hand, should
a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket
lose in November to the DEM
ocrats, Gov. Rockefeller, if
elected Governor for O COO
ond term, could very well ex-
pect a presidential nomina-
ton in 1864. And his defeat
for Vice President would not
necessarily harm his chances
OF ultimate victory for Presi-
dent.
These are the choices, the
alternatives, which Gov,
Rockefeller has before him.

Labor VS.. Reds

Newly independent nations
of Africa and Asia are being
wooed by Mr.. K, head man
of the world Communist con-
spiracy against human free
dom. The democratic labor
movements of the United
States and Israel apparently
feel that they can and should
do everything in their power
to thwart the plotters Of
Moscow-and recently both
the AFL-CIO and the Israeli
labor federation, Histadrut,
have taken a most important
step.
An institute is being estab-
lished, with financing by the
AFL-CIO and Histadrut to
the tune of $l75.000 each.
for the training of Africans
and ASians in democratic
labor leadership. The AFL-
CIO handed over the first
installment just the other
day.
Organized labor can carry
the torch Of democracy aloft
in Asia and Africa as COM
mercial organizations and
associations cannot. Labor
can be enormously effective
in frustrating the Communist
program. The people of every
democratic nation will be
deeply in debt to the ALL
CIO and to Histadrut if this
new institute proves to be
but one of many such vitality
needed undertakings for the
instilling of democratic ideals
and principles among the
leaders of Asia's and Africa's
millions in the years ahead.

ture is about to close up shop,
perhaps tomorrow or next
day. When it does Gov. Mel
son Rockefeller viii be free
to take part in national poll
tics. 1t may be too much to
expect the Governor to take
the field for Vice President
Nixon right away. It may
be he is still waiting for signs
of a shift away from Mr..
Nixon for the Republican
presidential nomination. Any
shift Of that character could
only be toward the New York
Governor as things stand to-
day.
So Gov. Rockefeller is more
likely to wait until the Re-
publican National Conven-
ton acts next July before
he becomes too vocal in sup
port of the Nixon candidacy.
In the meantime, however,
he may begin taking the Re-
publican cause to the people
with a number of speeches
on the issues Of the day.
1t is certain that after a
Nixon nomination has been
made for President-as now
seems virtually aSSured-the
New York Governor will be
in great demand as a cam
paigner. He is, indeed. a won-
derful and indefatigable CAM
paigner. He has recently
been described by former
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York as the best thing
that has happened to the Re-
publican Party in a long
time. AS a matter of fact,
his election as Governor of
New York in 1858 was the
brightest ray of hope for the
COP. in an election year
that saw the Democrats roll
to victory in congressional
and gubernatorial elections
throughout the country.
Republican Dream
Of course, Gov. Rockefeller
would be in the very front
line Of the campaign should
he change his stand and ac-
cept a nomination for Vice
President and thus become
Mr.. Nixon's running mate.
Mr.. Dewey commented that
a Nixon-Rockefeller ticket
would be tremendous" It's
a dream that many Republi-
cans have had, and it may
continue to be only a dream.
President Eisenhower, who
recently gave Mr.. Nixon his
full and open Endorsement as
the party's presidential NOM
inee, was asked at his press
conference yesterday if he
would now indorse Gov.
Rockefeller for Vice Presi-
dent. The President explained
that he had come out fatty
for Mr.. Nixon for President
only after it had become
plain there was no other Re-
publican candidate in the
field for the nomination. AS
for Gov. Rockefeller for the
vice presidential nomination
the President said: Certain
ly. If Mr.. Rockefeller were
nominated (for Vice Presi-
dent), he would be one that
would be acceptable to me
I think I can name a
score of Republicans of real
stature that would be ac-
ceptable in this Office (Vice
President"
The Presidents comment
on Gov. Rockefeller was in
line with his self-imposed
limitation of not indorsing
a candidate for Office when
more than one Republican
was seeking that office, a
limitation to which he ad-

young parents and their five chill

after some discussion they decided
to sew and fix box for the family.
During the discussion they
learned Helen had done a very

quite able to do much work; she
had made soup for another who
had had a tonsilectomy; she had

LO! The Light!
Above the manger stood a star,
A star all wondrous white;
And all about his lowly bed
There welled a flood Of light.
1t bathed the stable in its glow,
1t shone round Mary's head;
And on the kneeling shepherds
cloaks
It's radiant beams were shed.
Star of the world! Through time

1t flames in glory bright
To make mans pathway through

A pilgrimage Of light.
1t shines for US; that light still

No cloud can dim its spark;
It's radiance blossoms bright with
joy,
A beacon in the dark.
The path leads on, the path leads
up;
We walk it mile by mile,
And 10! the light his love has lit
Grows brighter all the while.
Oh, never doubt it shines for you!
Though skies seem dark and low,
Keep looking up, keep lifted up:
Let not your heart be trouble
filled;
The darkest night must clear
And life be glad and life be sweet;
For 10! the light is here!
