Mr.. Hoffu Sounds off

In this land of the free and home
Of the brave we have embarked upon a
season in which anything goes, politi-
cally speaking. And James R. Hoffa has
as much right as the next man to tor
ture the truth.
This is the spirit in which one
should view Mr.. Hoffa'S blast against
Senator Kennedy. According to the
president of the TeamsterS Union, the
Massachusetts, Senator is fraud on
the American people," and is a man
who "haS sacrificed the American labor
movement in the hope of getting some
help in Los Angeles from the Southern
bloc at the presidential convention"
Mr.. Hoffa, of course, is talking about
Senator Kennedy's part in the enact
ment last year of the labor reform bill.
There are two things to be said about
the Hoffa statement. One is that it is
the pureSt form of unadulterated non-
sense. The other is that nothing in the
Constitution requires anyone to believe
word of it,

Inside the Soviets

People in all walks Of life In the
Soviet Union now are about to be sub
Jecteo 70 tremendous new propaganda
offensive designed to make them toe the
party line. Apparently there has been
vast amount of theological backslidinp
from one end of the country to the
other, and so the Kremlin has decreed
that corrective action be taken forth
with, on a massive scale, through eyery
medlum OF indoctrination, including
radio, televiSion, newspapers, books and
schools.
All this has just been made clear.
more or less, by Pravda'S publication of
a, 7,O0O-word resolution adopted in Sc
cret a few weeks ago by the Central
committee OF the Soviet Communist
Party. Referring to great" and Serious"
shortcomings in the partyS homefront
propaganda, the resolution has left little
room for doubt that there is to be a
major effort throughout the USSR to
make everybody conform to what Pre-
mler KhruShchev and his colleagues
deem to be orthodox in Marxist-Leninist
terms, which sometimes seem as vari-
able as the winds.
At any rate, according to the reso-
luton, all the propaganda organs of the
Soviet Union must now be reformed and
rejuVenated They must stop being dull
and dogmatic in way that boreS people
to death. They must be inSpirationaI.
They must present the "live ideals" of
communism in lively way. They must
night against mass apathy and indiffer-
ence to the party'S principles. They must
create popular enthusiasm, in factory
and on collective farm, for the "Commu-
mist world outlook" In short, they must
inStill in everybody spirit of patriotism
and national pride" that will serve as
impregnable armor against forces that
are "intensifying propaganda for the
capitalist way of life"
To that end, again according to the
resolution, there must be a relentless
campaign against things like tenden-
cies toward individualism, pro-Western
bourgeois" thinking, right-wing "revi-
sioniSm," and such other remnants of
the past" as corruption, speculation,
toadyiSm, drunkenness and hooliganism.
Above all, every Soviet citizen must be
taught this fact: Peaceful coexistence
with countries of different social struc-
lures does not lessen the theological
struggle. Our party will continue to
conduct an irreconcilable struggle for
Communist ideology."
1t is doubtful, to put it mildly, that
the Kremlin would have felt moved to
adopt and publicize this new program of
internal propaganda unless the ideo-
logical situation in the USSR required
the action. The Soviet people must be
behaving in manner that Khrushchev
and Company find displeasing, if not
worriSome. A WeSterner can only Won
der whether party-line indoctrination,
which has failed so often in the past,
can possibly be enough to keep human
beings from being human.

A SurpIus?-UnthinkobIe!

1t is less than surprising in an
election year that President EiSen-
hower'S estimate of a $4.2-billion sur
plus in fiscal 1861 should inspire some
quick thinking on how to avoid any
such negative" development. Most
simply stated, the alternatives to the
Government being burdened with some
extra money at year-end are: ~ to
spend it, or (2) to cut taxes. without
doubt, this years round in the annual
battle of the budget will include pro-
poSalS to do either or both.
1t is easy, of course, to assume that
either of these alternatives has popular
appeal and that sponsors in Congress
might thereby benefit at the polls in
November. On bigger and better spend
ing, which is more likely to be the
greater threat to the Presidents budget
estimates, there are eloquent champions
of the philosophy that it is "impera-
tive" for Uncle Sam to undertake ex-
panded social" programs. The same
goes for taX-cutting, at least for the
little fellow" although the responsible
leadership in the House and its Ways
and Means Committee, where tax legis-
lation must originate, is more apt to
put the brakes on such a move.
Even with the anti-budget-bal-
ancing boys at work, however, there
many be tendency to underestimate
some counterforceS. President Eisen-
hover has been a consistent advocate
OF prudence in fiscal management, and
his repeated warnings about the evils
OF infiation-to which Government def
citS are a major contributor-have
drawn widespread public support. There
are, in fact, grounds for believing that
much of the public has become wary of
the dangerous nonsense that a little
imitation" is merely pleasant economic
tonic and that more and more Govern
ment spending will make everything
better.
To those who believe so. or even
10 those in doubt, the President made
his point effectively in his state-of-the-
Union message when he said: 1--WE must
fight imitation as we would a fire that
imperilS our home. Only by so doing can
we prevent it from destroying our sala-
rleS, savings, pensions and insurance.
and from gnawing away the very roots
OF a free, healthy economy and the
Nations security"
II 1860 is to be "the most prosperous
year in our history" it would be tragic
miSmanagement for the Government to

He Will Be Missed

One noteworthy item in connection
with the hearings on the District budget,
which began yesterday in the House, is
that for the first time since 1910 Walter
Fowler, who retired last October as the
Districts Budget Officer, will not be
there to present the details.
His place has been taken by a quail
fed successor, David P. Herman But
from 1941 through 1859 it was Walter
Fowler who worked with the Appropria-
tionS Committees on both sides of the
Capitol, who won their respect and their
confidence-not only for. his knowledge
of the local budget, but for his candid
expressions of opinion regarding some of
its details.
1t was under Mr.. Fowler that the
District was made responsible for draw
ing up its own budget, a function pre-
viously exercised by the Bureau of the
Budget. He saw the District budget grow
from about $16 million to nearly $3.50
million. His own authority in budget
making was cut in the District reorgan-
iZation of 1852 and placed in the hands
Of new municipal agency. But it was
Mr.. Fowler who had to present it to Con-
greSs. And many of the worthwhile
things it provided were the results of
his personal advocacy.
He served under a number of chair
men, on both sides of the Capitol, some
of whom have left the scene while
others advanced in seniority and reSpon-
sibilty. They included Mahon of Texas,
Bates of Massachusetts, Coffee and
Horan of Washington and the present

Formoson Broodside

Army Secretary Brucker has fired a
verbal shot which, if not quite heard
round the world, must at least be ringing
loudly in the ears Of his Commander
in-Chief For Mr.. Brucker, beguiled
perhaps by the charm of far-away
places, seems to have significantly ex-
panded the Eisenhower doctrine for the
defense of FormoSa.
No text of the Brucker remarks is
available. According to the Associated
Press, however, the Secretary of the
Army held press conference in Taipei,
the FormoSan capital, and said that the
United States would defend the coastal
islands of Quemoy and Matsu against
Red Chinese aggression.
If the AP report is correct, Mr..
Brucker has expanded, Importantly and
perhaps dangerously, our commitment
to Nationalist China. We are obligated
by treaty to help Chang Kai-shek resist
a Communist Chinese attack on For
moSa or the PeScadoreS. But our obliga-
ton with respect to the coastal islands
-Quemoy and the Matsus-is fuzzy.
Congress has authorized the President

be attacked, and if he should consider
such an attack as an act of aggression
against FormoSa or the PeScadoreS. Mr..
Eisenhower has not said exactly what
he would do if the coastal islands should
be assaulted, and it has been thought
that his decision would be governed by
the nature of any attack which might
be launched. According to the AP re-
port, however, Mr.. Brucker says we will
intervene if ANY part" OF the Republic
of China, which includes the coastal
islands, should be attacked
If this is what Mr. Brucker actually
said, he has been guilty of indiScretion
to say the least. But there is one COM
forting aspect of the matter which
should be kept in mind Assuming an
attack on the coastal islands, Mr. Eisen-
hover, and not Mr.. Brucker, will deter
mine the reaction of the United States.

Owners Of the steel mills
have been among the most
vociferouS exponents Of our
reciprocal trade treaty poll
cies. AS exporters they had
hoped to benefit financially
from an arrangement which
was, and is, sitting other in
duStries less fortunately sit
uated, and having no exports
to speak Of and no highly
mechanical plants capable of
competing with impoverished
labor in foreign countries.
Close observers of the opera
tions of our foreign trade
policies were convinced, and
predicted. that sooner or later
the larger industries would
begin to feel the impact Of
these policies.
In addition to the low
wages paid steel workers
abroad. and in addition to
many other ADVANTAGES which
foreign governments have
given their producers to en-
able them to compete more
successfully with American
producers Of steel, we have
helped provide the most mod
ern machinery to the foreign
producers, thus making it
possible for them to have the
advantages Of both low wages
and high productivity. Many
OF the American producers
are still operating with anti
quated. obsolete machinery.
Their ability. financially, to
correct this condition is i'm
paired. as exports of steel
decline and imports rise.
Now that the inevitable has
happened. and the steel mill
owners are becoming the VIC

played a large part in fur

argument of rising imports
and reduced exports as a rea-

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Public Weighs Profits and Losses of Steel Pact

The end of the steel strike
has produced some hasty
conclusions. One is that the
important roles assumed by
Mr.. Nixon and Mr.. Mitchell
in the last stages of the
negotiations have increased
their stature politically.
Throughout the long con-
troversy the interests of three
parties have been at stake:
that is, labor, management
and the public. The question
arises as to whose interests
were best served by the set
tlement achieved. President
Eisenhower, in seeking an
end of the dispute, had con-
sistently stressed the impor-
tance Of a settlement that
would spare the economy
from still more imitation.
Whether these two distin-
guished members Of the
Presidents official family
while seated at the bargain
ing table forgot the Presi-
dents wishes or found it ex-
pedient to overlook them is
something not yet disclosed.
In any case, they appear to
have given their blessing to
an agreement which it is es-
timated will cost the Ameri-
can public something like
one billion dollars. This
couldn't be anything but in
f1ationary. In simple terms
1t means that all steel prod
ucts from bobby pins to bat
tleshipS will now begin to
cost more.
Mr.. Mcdonald is reported
to be jubilant over a great
victory which he claims for

Dear Sir:
With all due difference to
your vast experience in re-
ducing diets, I would like to
go on record with my belief
that weighing ones self once
a week is enough.
you wrote several articles
urging the merits of daily
weighing. and while I admit
their validity. in a sense,
there is just one big reason
against the daily practice:
1T is just too much trou-
BILE.
Especially when the fall
Of the year comes, and to-
days great invention of ther-
moStatic heat leaves the
house a bit on the chill side.
Then you hop out of bed,
and are supposed to weigh
in the raw. and the air is
cool, and you step on the
scale. and the scale is colder,
and then you try to read the
dial and find the overhead
light makes a highlight or
something right at the wrong
place.
Il have been rather sue
cesSful in reducing, having
gone down from 189 pounds
to a mere 148, but ] have
done it with once-a-week
weighing, after a brief trial
of your method.
Why is it that people who
recommend things for other
people to do almost always
overlook the bad things in
the method?
Il have endured this sort
Of thing for years, now I
am rebelling, and I want
the world to know that I

most comfortable way. and

The reason we have SO
much advice to give away,

Not only does it threaten to

it can become serious enough

A memorandum from the

Germany, has emphasized
the need for overhauling the

Communists accuse the Ade-
