Mexico and Cuba

Two leading members of Mexco's
Congress have spoken out in manner
suggesting that the government of
President Adolfo Lopez Mateos can be
counted upon by Fidel Castro to side
with Cuba in its worsening dispute with
the United States. But the uneaSinesS
created in Washington by this state
ment-a statement implying strong
support for the Havana regime, right
or wrong-seems to have been unwar-
ranted. At any rate, official assurances
to that effect have just beeen offered by
Mexican Foreign Minister Manuel Tello.
Thus, in formal clarifying state
ment designed to eliminate unfounded
miSgivings, Mr.. Tello has declared that
although President Lopez MateoS natur-
ally hopes for an aniicable settlement
of the trouble between our country and
Cuba, the two legislators have spoken
only for themselves, not for the govern
ment. In short, members of Mexico's
Congress are like members of our own
Congress in that their words do not
necessarily reflect the policy of the
executive branch. 1t is reasSuring to
have this stated officially by the Foreign
Minister.

Symbol of Democracy

In contrast to the excessive and
often meaningless rhetoric of parts of
the Democratic platform, the three
paragraph section on the District of
Columbia is model of succinctneSS. No
more fitting occasion than a presidential
nominating convention could be found
to express support for the constitutional
amendment granting WaShingtonianS
the right to vote for President and Vice
President. This support had a special
timeliness, Furthermore, since Al State
legislatures-the majority of them con-
trolled by Democrats-are scheduled to
meet next year, and the Los Angeles
delegates can perform no greater service
to the District than to carry the ratif1-
cation plea back to their homes.
We also commend the language of
the platform which recommends con-
greSsional passage of second constitu-
tional amendment to grant District resi-
dents representation in Congress. In
addition, the convention reaf1rmed the
traditional party position in favor of
some form of home rule legislation. The
immediate need, however, and the one
toward which Washington should mo-
bilize its major effort in 1861, is ratifica-
tion of the 23d Amendment. That action
would be a notable advance toward
the goal of the convention-the Ma
tion'S Capital should be Symbol of
democracy to people throughout the
world"

u. N. to the Rescue

The extraordinary emergency ses-
sion Of the United Nations Security
Council has resulted in action designed
to save the Congo Republic from COM
plete anarchy and dissolution. The
action, taken in response to an urgent
appeal from the distraught government
of the f1edgling new nation, has set
in motion a plan devised by Secretary
General Dag HammarSjkold to restore
military discipline to the country'S mu-
tinouS army, meet certain critical needs
in the CongoleSe economy and bring
about general stability.
In connection with all this, the
Kremlin has accused the United States
and other Western powers of having
aided Belgium in "unleashing armed
aggression" against its former colony.
Actually, of course, the "armed agrees
sion" has consisted solely and simply
OF measures to protect thousands of
Belgians and other Europeans from the
native troops who have been on a ram
page ever since the advent of independ-
ence fortnight ago. Clearly, the So
Wet condemnation of such protective
action can only be described as yet an
other example of the maliciousness and
utter untruthfulneSS of communiSm'S
current all-out propaganda drive against
the free world in general and our own
country in particular.
Nevertheless, when the time came
to vote in the 11-Nation Security Coun-
Gil early this morning, the Russian dele
gate voted with seven other members
Cncluding the United States) in favor
Of the TuniSian resolution backing the
Hammarsjkold plan. AS result (France,
Britain and Nationalist China abstained
on the ground that the resolution i'm
plicitly censures the Belgians for ag-
greSSion), the following program is to
be put into operation with all possible
speed: (1) The immediate dispatch of
a small group of military officers, wear
ing U. N. uniforms, to help the Con-
golese government build up disciplined
army. (2) Emergency shipment of food
to head off threatened acute shortages.
And (3) the Stationing in the country
of special United Nations force, which
would be made up chiefly of contingentS
from African states and which would
be much the same as the force on duty
in the GAIA Strip along the Israeli
Egyptian border.
At the same time, in approving
action along this line, the Council has
requested Belgium to withdraw its forces
from the Congo Republic, but no time
limit has been fixed as to that. Pre-
Sumably the withdrawal will take place
when, as and If Mr.. HammarSjkold'S
rescue mission succeeds in helping the
Observation-Disclosures government to re-
store order. The ff" here is very big,
however, and one must keep ones
fingers crossed even while hoping for
the best.

Upward Trend

Congress and the labor
lords, instead of fighting in
flation, are aiding and ahet-
ting it, by increasing wages.
The Federal pay raise won't
help the employees, it will only
tend to further the high cost
of living. In the end it is al
ways the merchants in all
fields who profit. When wages
go up for a few, the cost of
living goes up for all. It is
an endless cycle.
Our vote-seeking Congress
could best have helped all
citizens by leaving Federal
salaries where they were and
done something to lower taxes
and the inf1ationary living
cost but the labor lords and
the merchants wanted the
wage increase. OF course, this
is election year and to insure
coming back to Washington
for another term means more
to Congress than all the peo-
pies welfare.

protested strongly even when
the Democratic National
Convention had met against
q nomination. In the end,
he was persuaded by the
then President Truman to
make the race.
1t is a sad note In the
Stevenson political career
that four years later the man
who had persuaded him to
run turned his back, declar-
ing that Mr.. Stevenson would
be beaten worse in 1856 than
in 1852. But this is politics.
Mr.. Truman always resented
the fact that Mr.. Stevenson,
after his nomination in
advertently referred to "the
mess" in Washington-which
was the Truman administra-
tion.
During last nights great,
noisy demonstration for Mr..
Stevenson. the cheers and ap-
plause came not from the
delegates seated on the floor
of the convention hall, but
from the demonstrators who
were allowed to stream into
the hall with banners, band
and balloons, and from the
galleries. The delegates sat
quietly. and a sad note was
that in the Illinois delega-
tion, with SO convention
votes, there were only two
votes for the States native
son and former Governor.
Leaned Over Backwards
Although charges had been
made that the convention
had been "rigged" for Sem
ator Kennedy by Democratic
National Chairman Paul M.
Butler, it was noticeable that
more time was given the
Stevenson demonstrators and
the speakers for Mr.. Steven
son by far than was per-
mitted the demonstrators and
the speakers for Senator
Kennedy, Senator Lyndon
johnson Of Texas, the runner
up. or Senator Symington Of
Missouri. Indeed, the perma-
nent chairman Of the con-
vention leaned over back
wards to favor the Stevenson
adherentS.
1t is the old story Of a
too-late-and-t -too-little effort
AL pO14OICo'
Mr.. Stevenson now passes
from the scene as a possible
presidential candidate-prob-
ably never to be considered
for such role again. This
does not mean, however, that
he will not occupy an impor-
tant position in the national
Government. His selection to
be Secretary Of State by
Senator Kennedy, should
Senator Kennedy win election
next November, has been
widely predicted.

The July 8 issue of The
Sunday Star carried an arti-
Gle entitled, Liquor Prob
lens Cited as Cause in Crime.
1t stated that the stupid
policy of Furnishing a man for
puniShment's sake is like
blaming the true alcoholic
for getting drunk. Then the
policy of the AA is mentioned
relative to the alcoholic. This
article, like many others.
completely distorts the true
nature of alcoholism.
The alcoholic, of course,
should be given help, kind
ness and every aid available
to free him from the horrible
addiction he has chosen to
bring upon himself. But he
should not be told alcoholism
is a sickness for that is a
calculated untruth; it doesn't
help him; but, instead pro-
vides him with an excuse for
his indifference.
The mere fact that AA Of
fers assistance only to those
who make the decision to alb
stain from alcohol, outright
places alcoholism in the cate
CORY of sin and not disease.
Can you imagine a hospital
or any particular medical
agency refusing to accept a
patient suffering from pneu-
monia or even blood-poison-
ing for the sole reason that
the patient himself wasn't
concerned about his condi-
ton or because he didn't
care If he got well.
Nowhere in the Bible is any
person condemned for being
sick. but in Corinthians
6:10 it says: Nor thieves,
nor covetous, nor drunkards,
shall inherit the kingdom
Of God" This definitely
places the alcoholic in the
category Of the sinful and not
the sick.

For Better Passports

The praise given to Frances
Knight in The Star Magazine
Sunday" is we'll deserved.
The improvements in the
passport issuance routine and
the widening of the basis of
acceptable citizenship proof
are commendable.
I have a few suggestions for
Miss Knight. but they may
not fall under her jurisdic-
tion. Please increase the
number of visa pages. for ex-
ample, for modern transpor-
tation in Europe permits the
crossing of many borders
many times. Perhaps the visa
pages could be measured ac-
cording to the length of the
contemplated stay. Age could
be eliminated, for this entry
does not aid in Identification
certainly not with a we'll
groomed, well dieted Amer
lean woman. Why embarrass
them? Perhaps ten-year age
blocks could be checked or a
thumb-print substituted.
Passports. once not required
by the United States, should
now be issued to any we'll
known citizen on application
with evidence of long contin-
GUS residence-say Is years.
This would include clergy,
newspaper editors to be sure,
teaching profession, civil
service employees, and perhaps
others. Perhaps an oath Of
allegiance could be combined
with this and administered at
the time the passport was
issued. I did not include
military personnel in the list
because I believe that it is
traditional with most coun-
tries to accept evidence of
long military service, eSpe-
cially concerning wartime, as
adequate, even for citizen
ship.
Actually, passports might
be eliminated with profit if
travel were confined to our
NATO allies, for this would
be an evidence Of real unity.

I could not agree more with
the sentiment expressed in
the letter TOO Much De-
featism" by Ada M. Wentz.
If our press and our poll
ticians would just concen-
trate on being good Ameri-
cans and stop applauding
KhruShchev when he struts
across the stage exuding
superiority" maybe we would
accomplish something.
A man of Khrushchev's
caliber should be completely
ignored by the press and the
politicians to put him in his
place. Treat his threats with
silent disdain. They are only
so much hogwash.
AS long as we feed his ego
with apparent concern, he
will continue to perform for
his audience.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

the springtime, even such a
wet spring as we had this
year. so backward, so dreary,
so unappeal'nC tn most.
Ask of the sweet peas
climbing on their strings,
give ear, if you can. to the
song of the just blooming
roses. and you will hear
something like this:
What a wonderful place
of light this is!
Surely this must be the
spring of which our ances-
tors told us.
Down from the first seed
they have whispered tales of
the light.
Il am a child Of darkness,
shut up in a tiny space, but
I have possibilities.
Il was such a speck, so
dark and little, when I was
put down in the ground.
"They did not dream, nor
did l. scarcely. that I would
ever make my way into the
world like this.
But here I am, and this
is spring. The old seeds sung
it; now I know that what
they said is true.
They sang of the light and
the sun and the rain and
the green. I see the light.
There is green and there is
rain.
Il will wait for the SUM-"
\ y
In our alley the birds are
noisy every morning.
Some Of them chatter so
the cats cannot refrain from
gnashing their teeth at them.
The cats fairly chatter at
them like monkeys.
Two fat robins hit a tele-
phone wire with a resound-
ing swish. They stick tight,
while the wire vibrates to its
whole length, swaying as if
to shake the birds of.
Atop a telephone pole a
blackbird takes its morning
survey. At exactly 6 O'Clock
each morning the bird takes
its post.
Somewhere a whippoorwill
sings its long-drawn notes. It
is not every neighborhood
that has a whippoorwill.
\
The spring was a time of
great digging. raking, plant
ing, sprinkling. painting.
The yards we're dug UP and
planted to grass seed. In a
few short weeks in many
yards there was a green
sward, fresh in the morning
dew.
You will find every treat
ment Of yard there. Some
have gone in for simplicity,
while others have spent
much time on more ornate
treatments, such as rock
paths and slate-lined walks.
Each to his fancy. Was it
not Terence, who said, 80
many men, so many opin-
ions? And Horace, worthy
Roman: "All men do not, in
fine, admire or love the same
thing"
But, I'VE hardly find any
persons Of good sense save
those who agree with US"
So each family sticks to its
own yard, and no doubt has
other things to say. in pri-
vate, than the neighborly
pleasantries passed over back
fences.

White Elephants

There are white elephants
and there are white ele-
plants. DR.. Frederick Brown
Harris, in his white Ele-
phant" article in The Sunday
Star was undoubtedly correct
regarding the herds" Of
white elephants in American
attics. But I believe he some
what exaggerated the abund-
ance of the albino animals
trump e tins g through the
Siamese jungles in the days
of the good King Mongkut.
The elephants mentioned
by King Bhumibol in his con-
gressional debut June 29, like
the war elephants offered by
his ancestor to Lincoln during
the Civil War, could not have
Deen white.
For since time immemorial
the precious pachyderms have
been as scarce as elephants at
a Democratic convention. The
Buddhist king who acquired
a white elephant was one step
closer to becoming a Buddha
himself. The fortunate fellow
who actually stumbled across
the animal in the jungle was
showered with honor and
wealth for the rest of his life.
Burmese women Wed for the
privilege Of feeding q baby
Lord White Elephant milk
from their own breasts. Kings
waged wars over ownership of
the heavyweight godheads.
Even today it would prob
ably be easier to persuade the
Thai King to give up his sax
ophone than the pale little
pachyderm in the Bangkok
Zoo.
