New Facilities to I est !.
Missile Engines, Fuels

The Johns Hopkins Applied
Physics Laboratory next month
will begin a $91S,OO0 project to
provide extensive research ia
cilities for testing advanced
missile engines and fuels.
The new complex of buildings
will permit scientists working at
the 300-acre laboratory site in
Howard County, Md, to simu-
late actual flight conditions, the
laboratory said.

Include the use of 756 surplus
Navy submarine batteries and
three 16-inch gun liners.
The batteries will power g
heater of new design that will
simulate super temperatures ex-
perienced by missiles in flight
The gun liners will be adapted
as tanks to store compressed
air-up to 10000 pounds pei

PHckN Issue

The Democrats quite obviously find
themselves caught up in a dilemma.
At last they have an issue, but it is
thorny issue and they aren't entirely
sure how best to grasp it.
The issue, of course, is the EiSen-
hover administrators handling, or
mishandling, of the U-2 affair. This
Is legitimate issue, one which needs
to be explored. For the ineptneSS, to
state it mildly, which characterized our
public statements on this matter cries
out for correction, and if it is swept
under the rug no one can be sure that
1t will be corrected.
From the point of view of the DEM
ocratS, however, it is far easier to see
the issue than it is to profit from it.
1t would be fatal for them to appear to
make common cause with IzveStia and
Pravda, which are viciously damning
the President, and, through him, the
United States. If the Democrats are
to profit politically from the summit
f1asco they must pin some responsibility
on the administration. Yet they can
not afford to let the American people
think that they are joining Khrushchev
in his browbeating, barroom style, Of
Mr.. Eisenhower. OF even greater i'm
portance they must be very careful to
shun anything which, while it knocks
the administration, might also damage
the international position of the United
States
This is the nature of the dilemma
which explains why the Democrats are
speaking now with so many voices. This
is why one prominent Democrat, who
criticized the President before he had
even gotten home, was denounced as
an appeaser by another prominent DEM
ocrat. This is why the Democratic Ad-
visory Council says that the Eisenhower
foreign policy is in "ShambleS," while
other Democrats refuse to join in such
a free-wheeling attack. This same di-
len1ma explains why one Democratic
presidential hopeful eagerly heaps Goals
of fire upon the administrations head
while another is careful to avoid even
a word which might seem to give aid
and comfort to the enemy in this hour
of our national distress.
What will emerge from all this be-
fore November'S day of decision is not
diScernible in our crystal ball. We VEN
ture the guess, however, that respon-
Sible and sensible Democrats, while
making the most of their legitimate
political issue, will not carry this thing
to a point at which they will sabotage
our country's interests and, incidentally,
cut their own political throat.

Wise Senate Voice

For our part, we can only utter a
fervent "Amen!" to Senator JackSon's
contention that the time has come for
a change in our archaic and antiquated
confiict-of interest laws.
These outmoded laws are based on
the assumption that rich man who
may be something of a thief can be
converted into an honest man If he is
required to diveSt himself of his stock
and similar holdings before he takes
a Government job. This assumption is
the stuff that pure nonsense is made
of. If rich man is not a crook he is
not going to plunder the Government
when he goes to work for it. If he Is
a crook, and if he takes the job, con-
fiict-of-intereSt laws are not going to
reform him.
Actually, the effect of these laws
is to keep too many able men, men
who cannot afford the financial sacri-
fee, from serving their country. An
other effect is to bring too many men
who are not very able into Government
service, and it is against these whom
the politicians generally rail- Our hat
is off to the Democratic Senator from
Washington, who apparently is trying
to put this conflict-of- of-intereSt business
into some kind of reasonable perSpec-
tive

For Legislative Equity

Residents of Maryland's urbanized
communities merit widespread public
support in their campaign to secure fair
representation in the General Assembly.
The recent Legislature failed to adopt
even a modified reapportionment plan
recommended by special advisory COM
mittee appointed by Governor Tawes.
Aroused by the defeat Of the bills
for legislative equity at the last session,
citizens of Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties
have organized the Maryland Commit
tee for Fair Representation. The bipar-
tisan group plans to rally public support
for new proposals that would increase
the number of Delegates and Senators
from the rapidly growing counties near
Washington and Baltimore. The latest
census figures have provided new am
munition for the battle at Annapolis.
We hope the mobilization of public opin-
ion will be so impressive that the next
Assembly will take the necessary steps
to give the urban and suburban areas a
full voice in legislative matters affecting
their residents.

We All Spy

Neither Soviet Foreign Minister Gro
nlyko nor Ambassador Lodge has said
anything new or startling in their II
spy, you spy, we all spy" sort Of debate
before the United Nations Security
Council.
As expected, in calling upon the
U. N. to condemn our country's U-2
espionage flights, Mr.. Gromyko has
bitterly aSsailed those "incursions" as
evidence that the United States is guilty
of aggression" and "perf1dy" of the
worst kind. In delivering his attack,
moreover, he has spoken in a tone of
outraged innocence, as If the Kremlin
were the great defender-against viii
famous America-of all that is legal,
moral, good, true and beautiful in the
world.
In giving voice to this line of propa-
ganda, however, Mr.. Gromyko has had
to labor under the handicap of serving
a government that has subverted and
wiped out the freedom of nearly a
dozen once-independent lands. And it
is government, too, that is recognized
far and wide around the globe as the
operator of the most sinister and most
extensive espionage system in history.
Mr.. Lodge, in answering the Soviet
Foreign Minister, has made some good
points on that score, especially in en-
phaSizing the contrast between a single,
unarmed, one-engine, one-man recon-
naisSance plane and the Kremlin's
ground force of thousands of spies and
SubverSive agents" throughout the nom
Communist world.
1t may be said,. in addition, that
Mr.. Lodge, while reaffirming that all
our U-2 flights have been suspended
and are not to be resumed, has offered
defenSible Justification for such flights
as a safeguard against the danger Of
surprise attack from behind the Iron
Curtain. BY its very nature, of course,
espionage is furtive and essentially
dishonest business that cannot be up
held in terms of law or morality. But
every power of consequence engages in
it, the USSR most of all. That is why
the verbose Gromyko-Lodge debate on
the subject seems in a way to be a
baSically absurd violation Of Shake
Speare's sound advice:
Seal up your lips, and giue no words
but mum:
The business aSketh silent secrecy.

lother manufacturing use, such as the
production of missiles or their compo-
inentS, every effort should be made by
the Navy to accomplish the conversion.
OF course, we do not suggest that
the historic plant should be retained
merely for sentimental or local econ
omy reasons. But it is hard to un-
derstand why the Government should
abandon completely such industrial
facilities If they might be of value for
other types of military or nonmilitary
manufacturing. 1t is even possible that
other departments of the Government
might find some profitable use for the
factory. Certainly every possible ave-
nue. should be explored.

To Save the Gun Factory

We share the hope of Representa-
tive Lankford of Maryland and others
interested in the fate of the Naval
Gun Factory that the Navy's decision
to phase out" industrial production at
the plant by 1862 is not final. The shut
down will mean the discharge of some
2,750 persons, many of whom have spent
most of their working days at the 160-
year-old former naval shipyard and big
gun factory.
The loss Of jobs by these skilled
craftsmen not only will mean extreme
hardship for many families but the
loss of the plant itself as a specialized
manufacturing center will adversely af-
feet the economic life of the community.

Riqhts and Wrongs of Right t7to-Work

to-work as a "Voice from the
Boneyard."
8. Mr.. Lincoln lists States
in which he claims that Sen
ator Goldwater's champion
ship of right-to-work would
be unwelcome. Voters in two
of those States. South Da-
kota and Kansas, have ex-
pressed themselves on this
issue. Both States passed
right-to-work by big major
tiles. South Dakota voted in
1947, Kansas in 1858. Kansas
voters adopted right-to-work
by 100000 to 100000 at the
same time Clyde Reed, jr.,
the Republican gubernatorial
nominee who was very criti-
cal of right-to-work. was re-
soundingly defeated. When
he blames right-to-work for
his defeat, the soundness OF
his judgment also seems
questionable.
Endless examples can be
cited to show either that
right-to-work helps candi-
dates or that it hurts candi-
dates, depending upon which
conclusion one sets out to
prove" Our opinion Is that
the question Of individual
freedom at stake in right-to-
work is mere important than
either political party and
that eventually leaders of
both parties will champion
this basic principle. The 19
State right-to-work laws now
in effect are divided almost
evenly between traditionally
Republican and traditionally
Democratic States.
These points which ! have
mentioned may upset the
comfortable logic of those
whose minds are already
closed on this subject, but we
believe they merit the atten-
ton of objective readers.

Executive Vice President,

Decent Burial Advised

Since the So-called Freedom Wall
has become more controversial than
ever, Congress ought to inter perma-
nently the revived and revised proposal
for the n-again-off- f-again project. 1t
does not seem reasonable to give serious
consideration to the new plan for bur-
dening the taxpayers with half the cost
of $24 million monument at time
when world conditions indicate that
more money may be needed for national
defense. The $12 million could be used
to far better advantage in protecting
our freedoms, rather than commemo-
rating them.
There was reason enough to oppose
the plans for the walled enclosure in
their original form, for the site proposed
would deprive Arlington National Gene
terry of land for future expansion Fur
thermore, such large structure would
be out of place at the Arlington end of
the Mall axis. Now, however, the pro-
poSal is more Objectionable than ever, in
that the original pledge that no Fed
eral funds would be involved has been
Scrapped by the sponsors.
Representative ASpinall of Colorado,
who once said he would fight any sug-
geStion that Federal funds be used for
the wall, has the chance now to carry
out his promise. He is in strategic po-
sition to kill the new proposal, for he is
chairman of the House Interior Commit
tee which must pass on any such legis-
lation. We hope the committee will give
the measure decent, permanent burial

In his column May 7,
Gould Lincoln appears to
have been deceived by a
popular fable perpetuated
principally by those who
want to keep unionism on a
compulsory basis. The notion
that right to work has
proven to be a political LA
bility, q premise accepted
without question by Mr.. Lin
coin, is based upon a most
peculiar set of facts.
Right-to-work - the idea
that no person should be
forced to join a union as a
condition of employment -
is a basic principle Of indi-
vidual freedom and is not
now, nor has it ever been,
the exclusive property of any
political party. Since Mr..
Lincoln's misinterpretation OF
its political implications sug-
gests that other perceptive
persons may be similarly
confused, / present the facts:
/. The 1858 defeat of Ohio
Senator Bricker, who some
what hesitantly announced
his support of right-to-work,
is charged directly to the
right-to-work issue. In that
very same 1858 election,
Senator Goldwater Of Ari-
zona, who proudly and Wig
orously proclaimed his be-
lief in right-to-work, was re-
elected against what some
observers labeled as rather
long odds. 1t would seem that
only those seeking evidence
to bolster a predetermined
conclusion could contend that
Senator Bricker's loss was be-
cause of right-to-work while
Mr.. Goldwater's victory was
in spite of right-to-work.

Work upon these streets

these statements by George
Craig Qndiana), Fred Hall
(Kansas) and Goodwin
Knight california; was re-
leased through the Eleanor
Roosevelt National Council
for Industrial Peace, an or
ganization formed in 1858
expressly to fight right-to-
work laws and initially oper-
ated from AFL-CIO head
quarters. Some persons ques-
ton the sincerity of Mrs.
Roosevelt and her cochair-
man, Herbert Lehman, in the
use of their organization to
strengthen the Republican
Party.
The experiences Of Mr..
Hall and Mr.. Knight with
right-to-work provide use
full background, too. Hall was
the dynamic, aggressive and
potentially brilliant young
(one-term) Governor of Kan
sas. elected in 1854. His po-
litical demise began when he
vetoed a State right-to-work
law. It ended when voters
rejected him by a ST. margin
in the 1858 Republican pri-
mary. He then left the State.
California's ex-Gov. Knight
had long been politically
compatible with Teamster
bosses and other union off,
cials. When he ran for United
States Senator on the ticket
with William S. Knowland in
1858, he opposed right-to-
work as vigorously as Sena-
tor Knowland supported it.
They received virtually the
same popular vote. Knights
conclusion that right-to-work
defeated him suggests that
his judgment may be pref
udiced.
Indiana'S ex-Gov. Craig no
longer lives in his home State,
following his fall from power
In the Republican Party. A
leading Republican news
paper in that State labeled
Craig's utterance on right
