Give Where You Work

This years United Givers Fund
drive is off to good start, with units
of reorganized campaign structure
streSSing the apt slogan, "Give where
you work" Accordingly, there will be no
regular door -to-door solicitation as was
the case in the early days of UGF. The
main burden for success of the $7.2 mil
lion campaign will fall on the govern
mental and private business units. They
have made careful preparations for the
task and are determined to reach their
individual goals.
The amount sought this year is
larger than ever before-but the mini
mum needs of the 147 agencies partici-
pating in and depending on the fund
are larger than ever. The 1860 goal is
$4,000 above that of last year and
$337,000 more than actually was re-
ceived in 1859. The money will be raised
if the whole Metropolitan Area gives the
UGF the wholehearted support which
it needs and deserves.

Man With q Smile

The Nikita KhruShchev who came
to New York was smiling man, speak
ing fair words of peace and good will.
1t is too bad the record is such that one
simply cannot believe him.
Mr.. Khrushchev said his govern
ment attaches paramount significance"
to the problem of inSuring stable peace.
And in the name Of this goal, he said,
"the Soviet Union is ready to go on
working perSiStently, honestly, and pur-
poSefully." But what does the record,
even the very recent record, show? In
the agitated Congo, the Soviet Union,
until its representatives were expelled,
sought to establish political beach
head, and in pursuit of this did not
hesitate to harasS and undermine the
United Nations force which had been
sent there to maintain peace. In the
General Assembly, the Soviet represent
ative unblushingly aSSailed the efforts
OF Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skiold, charging that in the Congo he
had assisted "the criminal actions of a
coalition of colonialists headed by the
United States" So when Mr.. Khru-
Shchev, however broad the smile, intro
duces himself as an apostle of peace
and justice, one should insist upon the
closest scrutiny of his credentials.
For days, now, the General Assem-
bly, in special session has been examin-
ing them. And its verdict is in. The
Russian resolution denouncing Mr..
HammarSkjold was so clearly shown to
be fraud that the Soviet representa-
tive, at the last moment, did not even
submit it to vote. Instead, the As
Sembly, without a dissent, adopted the
Afro-Asian resolution which, though it
has been subjected to varying inter
pretationS with respect to the extent
of its support of the Secretary General,
is nevertheless clear and unmistakable
rebuke to the Soviet Union.
It is in this setting that Mr.. Khru-
Shchev prepares to address the 18th
regular session of the General Assembly,
which opens today. 1t may be hoped
that his approach will be constructive,
that he will present disarmament plan
accompanied by form of mutual in
Spection in which the world can have
confidence. 1t is most unlikely however,
that he will offer both. But he must
know by now that the technique of the
Big Lie has worn too thin to serve any
legitimate purpose of the Soviet Union.

For Ladies Only

Why must the public be so
nosy? What difference does
it make what Jackie Ken
nedy and Pat Nixon pay for
their clothes? What differ
ence does it make how they
wear their hair-the color of
their hats, etc., etc.? Is the
American public - women
voters particularly-going to
determine the future of our
country by whether the wife
of a candidate buys her
clothes for $50 or $500? And
anyway, whose money are
they spending? Their hus-
bands earn it - it is their
business.
whichever man gets
elected, he will be earning
every cent of what is paid
him for living in a goldfish
bowl. Why must the public
think because they elect a
man to be the head of our
country, it gives them the
right to comment on what
his wife wears? AS far as I'm
concerned she can wear bur-
lap and fringe it. I'm not
electing his wife.

Too Many Vacancies

1t is not surprising that the District
Budget Office has allowed the Police
Department less than half the number
of additional policemen sought by Chief
Murray. The cut was realistic, in view
of the fact that the department is hav-
ing difficulty in filling 1876 vacancies
already existing on the force The re-
cruiting problem is giving the Police
Chief understandable concern, for he
is faced with an urgent need for more
men with whom to counter the rising
tide of crime in Washington.
The present authorized strength of
the department. is 2,714 men. Chief Muir
ray had asked for an additional 2S6 of
ficerS, baSing this request on estimated
patrol requirements to meet the crime
threat. However, budget authorities at
the District building cut the total to ITO
men, which would bring the authorized
strength to 1924 men. The number of
policemen now actually available for
duty is 2,518.
Despite an active recruiting pro-
gram extending into other jurisdictions,
the number of applicants qualified for
jobs on the local force has proved to
be substantially under requirements.
Chief Murray has attributed the poor
response to the lure of more attractive
jobs in other lines of work-where pay
is better and the service less danger
GUS. However, he and his staff believe
that the recent increase in pay granted
by Congress will improve the recruiting
picture considerably. The new rates,
starting at $3.50, compare favorably
with police pay in other large cities.
A renewed recruiting drive certainly
is justified.

Under Two FIuqs

Judging from initial Panamanian
reactions, the Presidents order direct
ing that Panama's flag be flown beside
the Stars and Stripes in the Canal Zone
promises to placate those nationaliStic
hotheadS who in the past have exploited
the issue to the point of causing serious
riots down there. At any rate, Mr.. EiSen-
hover, who may have acted as he has
on the basis of certain restricted infor-
nation, is represented as hoping that
"hiS decision will demonstrate the con-
tinuing close bonds that exist between
the peoples of the United States and
the Republic of>Panama and their Gov
ernments."
This is hope that must be shared
by all Americans interested in hemi-
Spheric good neighborlinesS. But what
remains to be revealed is the long range
Panamanian reaction. Actually, in and
OF itself, the Presidents under-tW flags
decision amounts to little more than a
friendly gesture designed to serve as
evidence that the United States recog-
nizeS Panama'S strictly limited "titular
sovereignty over the Canal Zone. AS
both legal and practical matter, how
ever, our country still retains full con-
troll in the area. 1t does so in accord
with the following provision of the 1908
treaty: "The Republic of Panama grants
to the United States all the rights, power
and authority within the zone i. . which
the United States would possess and ex-
erciSe as if it were the sovereign :"
Because of. the ambiguity of the
phrase "as If 1t were the sovereign"
Panamanian agitatorS-many Of them
far to the left and Communist inspired
have succeeded in stirring up trouble
in recent years with vicious mob-incit-
ing propaganda about Yankee imperi-
alism." Perhaps their biggest operation
in that respect took place last Novem-
Der. Based primarily on their demands
that Panama'S flag be flown in the Ca
nal Zone, it was an operation that re-
suited in riotouS demonstrations and a
number Of outrages against the United
States. The Presidents decision, which
apparently follows State Department
recommendation, has been made with
view to eliminating excuses for such
trouble-maklng.
But will the decision really work
out that way? Certainly, wholly apart
from those who have attacked it in in
ordinate terms, there are more than a
few Pentagon experts and members of
Congress who have honest doubts and
serious miSgivings about Mr. Eisenhow-
er'S move. What they fear-and we
agree with them-is that Panamanian
extremists, far from being satisfied with
it, may interpret it as a sign of weak
ness, timid response to the threat of
riot, an appetite-whetting act of ap-
peaSement. We trust that this will not
prove to be the case, but if it does, as it
well may, then nobody should be sur
priSed by the outbreak of more and
worse trouble in the Canal Zone.

Temporary Evil?

The American public and
official Washington are max
ing a serious mistake in re-
gard to communism. They
apparently are of the opinion
that communism is here to
stay and we must teach our
children and grandchildren
how to live with it.
A goddess, tyrannical form
of government cannot with
stand the test of time. AS
the Russian and Chinese
peoples improve their educa-
tional and economical status,
they will return to religion
and denounce their captors.
Communism is like a great
tidal wave that wreaks havoc
and then recedes into the
great oceans, soon to be for
gotten.
We cannot afford to let
down our guard because we
know that we will eventually
win out. But we must know

Realistic Cartoon

I have no heSitancy in
choosing The Stars Glib
Crockett for a top realist in
the ranks of nowadays
caricaturists. This is why
Mr.. Crockett's September 9
cartoon Of Vice President
Nixon upon his Walter Reed
H Hospital bed, frantically
buzzing Doctor, while read
ing the newspaper scarehead,
Kennedy Invades Califor-
nia." was quite apropoS.
Senator Kennedy is not
showing up to be a formid-
able Nixon opponent on the
stump, while over-Straining
his vocal organism in the at
tempt. This is why there was
no occasion for Mr.. Nixon
to rush. Had Kennedy's talk
age not played out (as did
Wendell WILKES early in the
1910 campaign, Nixon could
have got going in October
and out-talked him. The
pattern was furnished by Col.
Lindbergh in his piece titled,
Challenge" j less than 500
words, which was printed in
This Week magazine in The
Sunday Star of last May 20.
And this is why I think
Crockett'S cartoon picturing
Nixon as calling on Doctor"
for help meant God. Calling
not for medical relief but
spiritual guidance; for Nixon
is a Quaker, and there's
nothing spiritual or Quaker
ish about this 1860 presi-
dental campaign.

Democrats and Labor

The real issue in the pres
ent political campaign is
whether we want Walter Reu-
ther and George Meany call
ing the shots if a Democrat
is elected President. The
once proud Democratic Party
has been taken over by the
labor leaders. That is their
privilege, but let us not be
fooled by false labels.
Kennedy presents himself
without reservation as the
total ally Of the strongest
force within the Democratic
Party, organized labor.
Thomas Jefferson and An
drew Jackson would be quite
unhappy, to say the least,
with the present leadership
of the Democratic Party.
We have a fair example of
the power of the union lead
ers in the call of a strike by
Mike Quill, who heads a
union of a comparatively
small number of Pennsyl-
vania r. r. employees. The
result was economic paralysis
for a large area of the coun-
try and enormous inconveni-
ence for millions of people.
And the strike was not over
wages but was an argument
between unions and for a
demand of more infamous
featherbedding rules.
Shall we continue to give
these vast powers to this
Democrat-Big Labor coali-
ton?

In all the uproar over the
religious ISSUE" the issue Of
war and peace and the han
ding of foreign affairs and
the economic issue, there has
been little heard about the
issue of domination of the
government by labor bosses
in the event Senator John
F. Kennedy of Massachu-
sets, Democrat, is selected
President in November. Yet
this last is one of the most
important. The leaders of
organized labor have with
few exceptions declared
themselves in favor of the
election of Senator Kennedy.
They were in many instances
not pleased with the nomi-
nation of Senator Lyndon
johnson Of Texas as his
running mate. But they have
swallowed the johnson NOM
ination. They are doing their
utmost to take over the
White House-through the
election Of q Democratic
President. They envisage
another New Deal admins
tration, with even the
meager restrictions of the
Taft-Hartley Act removed,
either by legislation or
through administration.
Kennedy's Labor Speech
Probably nothing could
have encouraged them more
in their hopes and beliefs of
coming control than Sena-
tor Kennedy's remarks in his
Labor speech in Detroit. The
Democratic nominee said on
that occasion; THE goals of
the labor movement are the
goals for all Americans, and
their enemies are the enc
mics of progress"
Some of the goals of the
labor movement, represented
by organized labor, are admi-
rable, but not some of the
goals Of the labor bosses.
Labor unions have made it
possible for the working men
and women of the country to
gain economic freedom, to
obtain fair and reasonable
payment for their labor. This
was the principal goal of labor
leaders in the past. But the
leaders of today have gone
far beyond. They wish to
dictate to the owners and
operators of business how
they shall operate their busi-
ness. They insist upon in
creases in wages, in many
cases where the wage is al
ready so high that any in
crease, adding to the heavy
costs of production, make it
impossible for these products
to compete either in our own
markets or in foreign markets
With entire disregard of the
fact that the whole economy

the worst mass atrocities to

Cured under our democratic

Sharing a Great River

There are many reasons for wide
spread praise and pleasure at the sign
ing by India and Pakistan Of an accord
on division and utilization of the waters
Of the Indus River and its main tribu-
taries.
Except for the emotion charged
Kashmir dispute, no problem has so
deeply disturbed India-Pakistan rela-
tons during the thirteen years since the
states were created as that of working
out an acceptable bilateral control of
this great river system. The fact that
most of the headwaters of the system
lie in Indian territory, or in Indian-held
parts Of KaShmir, made the problem
virtually one of life or death for West
PakiStan. Diversion of the waters, not
only possible but actually threatened,
to almost exclusive use of India would
have meant disaster to the affected area
of PakiStan. The resolution now reached,
however, assures primarily to Pakistani
use the flow of three western rivers in
the system and to Indian use the waters
OF three eastern rivers. Over ten-year
period, it provides for a vast develop
PAOJOSV Va AA4ASoO4O1I1 POWCL pIO-
duction and flood control facilities at
cost of about ST billion.
Aside from the good will which A.
na1ly prevailed between the two govern
ments directly affected, and was SYM
bolized most warmly by Prime Minister
Nehru and President Ayub at the treaty
signing yesterday, praise is due to many
for this happy outcome. 1t was an Amer
lean, former Tennessee Valley Author
ity chairman David E. Lilienthal, who
proposed in 1851 that the problem be
resolved on an economic, not politi-
cal, basis of joint development It was
through the patient and professionally
Skillful negotiating Offices of the World
Bank, directed by President Eugene
Black and Vice President William Tiff,
that agreement was reached. And it is
to the credit of our own Government
plus those of the United Kingdom, West
Germany, Canada, Australia and New
zealand-that essential financing for
the project has been guaranteed.
There is increased hope now that
the KaShmir dispute itself may be re-
solved, and it is encouraging that Mr..

At this U. N. session we

Lthuania. They were occu-

Complaint

Buried on page A-9 of The
Star for September 10, was
your account Of the ''Dis-
appointing Attendance $50
Senior Citizens at Farley On
Aging"-referring to the
Conference of the District of
Columbia Council on Aging.
It was, indeed, a meager
attendance from among the
more than $4,000 citizens over
65 in the District. But what
did your newspaper do to
publicize this meeting in ad-
vance? Senior citizens get
more attention in your
columns when run down in
the streets by impatient auto
mobile drivers, or when they
are slugged and robbed by
thugs.
The Council has endeavored
to finds ways in which senior
citizens can help themselves
and each other, without max
ing demands for lavish sub
sides by the Federal Govern
ment.
Last week Marylanders held
their final Conference on
Aging at the University of
Maryland. With generous
publicity from newspapers
and liberal financial assist
ance from the State, they
we're able to inform and inter-
est their citizens to such an
extent that more than 1900
attended the first days seS-
sion. Other than a room and
a telephone in the old Briggs
Montgomery School, the Dis
trict of Columbia Council on
Aging has had almost no sup
port financially from the city
of Washington-and no inter-
est by your newspaper.
Also, the statement that
most people resent being
Jumped into an older age
category" is open to challenge,
but sensible senior people do
not bother to resent" such
a stupid classification by
younger people who, if they
survive, inevitably will also be
thus Jumped" as time goes
by. One Of the Jumped.
