exposed targets. However, this Polaris
warhead, though it may be small COM
pared to others, is some Is times as
powerful as the bomb which destroyed
Hiroshima. Thus, it hardly needs to be
argued that the consequences of use of
this weapon, should war come, will be
frightful in the extreme.
The hopeful aspect, however, should
not be overlooked. BY the end Of this
year we expect to have at sea two of
these nuclear submarines, each armed
with Is missiles. Four more have been
launched and an additional IL are
funded for fiscal 1861. 1t will never be
possible for the Russians to know ex-
actly where these submarines are,
which means that they cannot count on
destroying them in a surprise attack.
Thus, when Sufflcient number are in
service, their deterrent influence will be
enormous Add the Polaris to the rest
of our strike-back capacity, and only
lunatic would willingly accept the retail
iatory blow which would follow an at
tack on the United States.

Monster of the Deep

Word that two PolariS missiles have
been successfully fired from submerged
submarine heralds the dawn of fright
full, but also a hopeful, military era.
In this case the missiles were fired
from the atomic-powered George Wash
ington, cruising 80 feet below the sur
face of Cape Canaveral. The solid-fuel
missiles popped to the surface and
landed in the target area some 1,1OO
miles away.
without a doubt, this means that
the missile submarine is or soon will be
a dependable arm of our military estab-
liShment. And this has its frightful con-
notations. Admiral Raborn, who has
been directing the PolariS program, said
the two missiles fired from the George
Washington hit with adequate accu-
racy to have done the job if they had
been fired at an enemy" This means,
we suppose, that they could have hit
Russian cities. 1t has also been stated
that the nuclear warhead of the Polaris
is relatively small as these things go,
but that it still packs punch equivalent
to 100000 tons of TINT. This again indi-
Gates that the weapon is designed for
use against cities or other more or less

Ambassador Korrick

David B. Karrick ends his service
to the District of Columbia today, and
simultaneously launches brand-new
career of public service as this country'S
Ambassador to Ecuador He will take
with him from the District Building
equal measures of gratitude and best
wishes for the future from all Washing
ton citizens.
When Mr.. karrick was appointed
District Commissioner-fou years and
three months ago-there was mild sur
prise. This grew out of the fact that
he had devoted most of his life to private
business, and had held no previous
public office. Neither was he active in
local Republican politics. For Washing
ton, however, the choice was a fortunate
one. This was an especially trying period
in the citys history, and Mr.. Karrick
inherited series of long -smoldering
problems in the health and welfare
fields. Each of them he met with
quiet display of intelligence and bal
anced udgment-qualities which, COM
bined with his natural charm, are ideal
attributes for the diplomatic service.
His new assignment to Latin Amer
lea Is particularly apt in view of Mr..
Karrick's intimate knowledge of that
part of the world, and his strong interest
in its affairs. We are certain he will
do well there.

Eleventh-Hour Reprieve

The Commissioners, by their 81
vote, exercised sound fiscal judgment in
deciding against an increase in the Dis
trict real estate tax at this time. Any
other action would have been precipi-
tous. The Districts fiscal situation has
been placed in no immediate jeopardy,
and such further revenues as are needed
should properly be determined and pro-
vided when Congress returns next
month.
The timing of the decision, further
more, was fortunate from two points Of
view. Because of the complexity of the
fiscal picture, it is well that final de-
termination was made before the de-
parture of Commissioner Karrick and
Engineer Commissioner yelling, both of
whom were intimately familiar with its
details. On the other hand, by delaying
the decision until the last moment, the
Commissioners gave their staff experts
more time to analyze the proposal, and,
as result, the staff was able to make a
firm recommendation against the real
estate boost. In much the same fashion,
more thorough study has convinced a
number of civic and business groups that
the proposed real estate tax raise was
an unwise move.
BY rejecting this proposal, of course,
the need has been heightened for Con-
greSs to complete action in August on
a l-cent increase in the city sales tax.
The House already has approved, how
ever, and there is no reason to expect the
Senate will not concur. This increase
will more than amply cover the critka
need-increased costs resulting from pay
raises
Still other funds may be required

quests for the authorization of essential

it does, new revenue sources can be

who wish to take a similar
attitude. They don't like
Gov. Rockefeller's refusal to
be an active candidate for
the first place on the ticket
and at the same continuing
to hold them back from
plunking for the man re-
garded as certain to win.
Gov. Rockefeller persuaded
the delegates to go to the
national convention uncom-
mitted. He himself is chair
man of the delegation. The
caucus of the delegation,
which Gov. Rockefeller has
called for Sunday night in
the luxurious New York
headquarters in the Shera-
ton Towers Hotel, has been
called by one of the New
York leaders the deadline."
What he hoped when he said
this is that the entire situa-
ton will be cleared up at
that caucus.
mo" Expected Then
Governor Rockefeller may
decide at this meeting, or if
he has already decided, tell
the delegates he will or will
not permit his name to go
before the convention for
President. The belief is he
will say mo-" notwithstand-
ing the fact a national or
ganization has been working
for a draft" There is an
other view, however, which
holds that Governor Rookie
feller will urge sthe delegates
to stand pat until after the
party platform has been
adopted Tuesday night.
The delegates likely will go
along with the Governors
request, if he makes it. They
have to live with him for
another two years if he re-
mains Governor. Also, New
York delegations have a
tradition of sticking together
under a Governors leader
ship, and so remain effective
in a national convention.
Word was brought here
yesterday that Governor
Rockefeller remains adamant
in his refusal to take a vice
presidential nomination or to
accept one If he is named.
That may be the way it will
wind up. 1t would be inter-
esting to see what he could
do, however, If the conven-
ton should nominate him by
acclamation.
Governor Rockefeller may
or may not wish to remain
in politics. But a declination
to serve might go hard with
him particularly if the Re-
publicans fail to win in the
coming New York elections.

Back in the Black

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER cited the sur
priSing $1.1-billion Federal budget sur
plus for the year just ended as evidence
that the United States intends to con-
duct its financial affairs ION sound
basis" We fervently hope he was right
A $1.1-billion surplus, of course, will
hardly dent the national debt of $288
billion. It is at least one tangible ad-
vance in the fight against imitation,
however, and the national debt is where
this additional money should be applied.
Coming on the heels of a $125-bil-
lion deficit year ago, furthermore, this
latest surplus constituted an amazing
rebound-in which a number of factors
we're in evidence. Partly responsible,
but only partly, was the Surging recovery
of the general economy, as evidenced
particularly by the sharp increase in
personal income. In addition, as an
analysis released by Treasury Secretary
Anderson showed, the great majority of
Government agencies spent less money
than their budgets called for-$1.1 bill
lion less, in fact-and it was only this
combination of healthy national growth
dlu IcuuCcu expenditures WHICH per-
mitted surplus five times as great as
the President anticipated last January
This advancement, of course, will
add considerable fuel to the political
fires. The Republicans will cite 1t as a
graphic illustration of fiscal response
bility" in action. The DemocratS-al-
though they hardly will be able to attack
the SurpluS-certainly will press with no
less vigor their claim that the Eisen-
hover administration has put the dollar
sign ahead of the needs of the country
In back of all the talk, however, the
real election-year danger will be that
the very existence of the surplus will
stimulate demands for more spending
a temptation which should be resisted
to the end. BY authorizing such ex-
penditures as the $700- billion Federal
pay raise in the absence of new revenues,
Congress already has jeopardized the
Presidents prediction of a substantially
higher surplus next year. We hope, be-
ginning with the short session in August,
that nothing else is done to offset the
encouraging gains made during the last
IL months.

War by Mischonce?

IL must 0e n0ped tnat soviet
Premier Khrushchev will pay the most
careful attention to the somber letter
just addressed to him by Prime Minister
Macmillan of Great Britain. For this
is document of high Importance in the
cold war-particularly so because it
raises frank and grave questions about
the possible sudden outbreak of a hot
war
Mr.. Macmillan has left no room for
doubt about his "anxietieS as to the way
in which the world situation Is develop
ing" Bluntly and unequivocally reject
ing Soviet charges regarding such issues
as the Congo and the shooting down of
our RB-47 mapping plane, he has plainly
indicated that the Kremlin's behavior
since it's torpedoing of the May summit
conference has disillusioned him to a
devastating degree. AS result, he has
grown enormously Skeptical Of MoScow's
ceaseleSs propaganda about wanting to
be friends with everybody He has stated
the case this way in his letter to Mr.
KhrushcheV: ..~-
-. my purpose in sending you this
peTSOIldI HeSSdBS Is 10 express my
deep concern over what now appears to
be a new trend in the conduct of Soviet
foreign policy. -.
I have consistently welcomed
your assurances Of the Soviet govern
ment's desire for peaceful coexistence
and detente. :. 1t Is, however, my firm
opinion that these objectives cannot be
successfully pursued without the exercise
Of patience and restraint. Much Of my
present anxiety derives from the fact that
these elements seem to be absent from
recent manifestations Of Soviet govern
rnent policy. -, simply do not under
stand what your purpose is today.
II the present trend of events in the
world continues We may all of us one
day. either by miscalculation or mis-
chance. find ourselves caught in stua-
ton from which We cannot escape.
The situation that Mr.. Macmillan
has in mind, of course, is one that could
lead, willy-nilly; to an all-out nuclear
war through some act of stupidity or
unreasoning passion President EiSen-
hover and Secretary Herter are similarly
worried AS the Secretary has declared
at his Newport news, conference, the
nature Of Soviet words and deeds in the
past two months has been mystifying,
and I'VE are taking 1t very seriously
because "it is obviously something that
we have got to watch very carefully and
study very carefully" as phenomenon
full Of explosive possibilities. g..
There is no wiShful thinking now in
high places. Prime Minister Macmillan
and Secretary Herter have made that
much very clear. And they have made
clear at the same time that Mr. Khru-
shchev and the Kremlin will be making
the most deadly kind of mistake if they
fail to understand that the West can be
pushed only so far, and no farther.

CHICAGO July % - New
York's Republican Party has
a big stake in Governor Mel
son A. Rockefeller's perform
ance at the G. o. P. national
convention opening here
Monday. For that matter. so
has the Republican Party the
Nation over.
The New Workers want him
on the party'S national ticket
preferably first place, but
failing that, in second place.
The Governors oft repeated
mo" to a vice presidential
nomination does not sit well
with some of them. Nor does
it with party leaders from
other States. They regard Mr..
Rockefeller as a strong draw
ing card at either end of the
ticket. This may be disputed
by some of the New York Re-
publicans-some of them do
not like Governor Rockefeller.
However. he is the big figure
in the State party.
Not only does the State Re-
publican organization have to
carry the State for the ma
tional ticket. but it must hold
onto its majority i'm the
States delegation in the
House of Representatives. 1t
must also make sure, if pos
sible, that the Republicans
continue to control both
houses Of the State legisla-
ture. This is of extreme i'm
portance since the next legis-
lature will have the job of
redistricting the State after
the 60th census, so they wait
on the word of Governor
Rockefeller.
Draft Held Unlikely
1t does not seem in the
cards that the convention
will draft Gov. Rockefeller
for the presidential nomina-
tion, as some of his followers
hope. and perhaps the Gov
ernor himself. But it is nat
ural that the Governor
should insist he is not and
will not be a candidate or
accept a vice presidential
nomination. That the Gov
ernor could have the second
place is no longer open to
doubt. The convention
would nominate him almost
by acclamation if it believed
Gov. Rockefeller would take
the job.
Under these circumstances,
it is no wonder that some
members of New York's big
96-member delegation are
becoming restive. An Erie
County leader has said that
county's four delegates favor
the nomination of Nixon for
President. There are others

nnd occasion to hitch a chair
around.
If he stopped to think
about it, he might realize he
could not better matters, but
he never stops to think about
anything. evidently.
He might realize that the
placement of the chairs has
been a matter of much
thought, over a number of
years.
Every possible way they
might be placed to advan-
tage has been tried long ago.
If a better way could be
devised, those who have sat
in those chairs for years
ought to know it, ought they
not?
Yet let this fellow be
seated no longer than 80 sec
ondS. he begins to hitch the
chair off its intended base.
Inside of a minute he has
1t facing Squarely the other
way. and probably a foot or
two from its former position.
This brings him, happily,
within striking distance of a
small stand.
Boom! Over it goes.
Maybe this explains why
he bitches the chair in the
first place.
Maybe it doesn't, one can
not be sure. but if he had let
the chair alone, he would not
have reached the stand so
easily.
The trouble seems to be
that what may worry you. If
you are particular, is abso-
lutely nothing at all to him.
If, in a moment of good
fellowship, he honors your
desk by parking himself on
it, he invariably rumples and
crumples the papers that
may be in his way.
He never seems to think
about removing them to an
other part Of the desk before
he parks himself there.
You insult him, if you dare
move them away.
Indifferent to you and your
wishes. he is terribly sensi-
tive to any indication on your
part that you would have him
otherwise than he Is.
Yet he expects you to be
far different.
This is a small everyday
problem, in itself. but it opens
up an entire vista of human
relations. There are so many
people who demand that you
do not ask them to consider
and respect your desires and
feelings, but who ask with
equal fervor that you have
every degree of respect for
them and their likes and dis
likes.
1t is the unfairness of the
thing that gets you.
If you object you are
nothing but a finicky fool.

better.
