Nixon's Soft Answer

Senator John Kennedy shows signs
of coming unglued as the West Virginia
primary moves into its final week.
There is just hint of ShrillneSS in some
of the things he is saying about Senator
Humphrey, including the charge that
his opponent is Initiating Richard Nix
on" by playing fast and loose with
SmearS and innuendoeS"
Two days after the Massachusetts,
Senator had lashed out in this fashion,
Mr.. Nixon spoke in Chicago. And he
spoke we'll of Senator Kennedy. Every
one who knows him." Mr.. Nixon said,
knows that in war and peace he served
the country well, and that if he became
President he would serve the country
we'll and Loyalty and would put country
and the Constitution above all other
considerations"
1t may be said that this is the new
Nixon" Even so, the remarks of the
two men invite a comparison which is
not very flattering to Senator Kennedy.

To the Rescue

Hopes for early construction Of
three new Federal Office buildings in
Washington, which had faded to the
vanishing point week ago, have been
brought very much back to life by the
timely action of the Senate Public Works
Committee.
What is needed now is for the House
Public Works Committee to follow suit
The Endorsement of the projects by these
two committees is largely technicality,
since they had been fully approved in
years past. 1t is an essential technicality,
nonetheleSs, as was demonstrated to the
dismay of nearly everyone when single
point of order" dissent in the House
was sufficient to block construction
funds which had been approved by the
House Appropriations Committee.
The Senate Public Works Commit
tee, in effect, cleared the way for the
Senate to put money back in the appro-
priation bill for new buildings to house
air and space agencies, the Civil Service
Commission and the Food and Drug
Administration. We hope that the House
committee will concentrate on these
same three projects, for they are the
ones the administration feels are the
most essential for the expeditions pro-
vision of decent working quarters and
the progressive removal of eyesore tenn
pos.
Approval also is needed for a fourth
project-a new courthouse for the Court
of Claims and the Court of Customs and
Patent Appeals. We believe the Senate
committee acted wisely, however, in de-
ferring action on this matter until a
full hearing can be held on the contro-
versial proposal to locate the courthouse
across the street from the east side of
Lafayette Park. Until the site issue is
resolved, it would be a shame to
ieopardize the other projects by max
ing the courthouse part of the same
package.

G. O. P. On Suffrage

1 was present at the Ma
tional Capital OptimiSt Club
luncheon. where Republican
State Chairman Carl Shipley
discussed the administrations
so-called home rule" bill
(H. r. 4400). Some news
stories about Mr.. Shipley's
remarks were wholly inaccu-
rate. unfair and misleading
to the voters of the District
of Columbia.
Mr.. Shipley stated cate
gorically that the Republican
Party historically has sup
ported a vote for President,
Vice President, representation
in Congress and election of
local officials - home rule
from top to bottom. He also
stated both at the beginning
of his talk and again at the
close that the Republican or
ganization was in favor of the
administrations home rule
bill, but pointed out that un-
less it was amended to elect
the l5-man legislature by
wards, all Is members would
be Democrats, and that one
party rule was contrary to
the American tradition.
Mr.. Shipley also explained
that the bill provides $40, 900
a year salary, plus unlimited
expenses, plus an exemption
from the conflicts of interest
laws for members of the leg
islature. He said this might
encourage dishonesty and at
tract professional job seekers,
rather than legislators inter-
ested in public service. Mr..
Shipley suggested that the
legislators ought to be paid
$25 a day for time actually
spent in the service of the
community, the same as is
done with the other officials
of the Government who do
not work full time. He also
expressed great concern that
the administrations bill does
not provide in specific terms
for a Federal payment in lieu
of taxes.
Everyone knows that the
Federal Government owns
So per cent Of the real estate
in Washington, and pays no
taxes. This year Congress
appropriated $26 million to-
ward the $247 million budget.
Under the administrations
bill, according to Mr.. Ship
ley, there is no obligation on
the part of Congress to con-
tinue this annual payment.
1t might result in District
taxpayers having to fork up
another $26 million, or a sub
stantial decrease in the budg-
ct, which would seriously af-
feet many important welfare
services.
Voters in the District of
Columbia are entitled to have
fair and accurate reports on
a matter so important, and
not the kind of stories
printed.
Contrary to some news
stories, Mr.. Shipley did not
lndorse Senator Morse. He

Focus on Fitness

This is National Youth Fitness
Week, and unlike other weeks that are
set aside by publicity men to celebrate
inconSequential things, it deserves to be
taken seriously. For its purpose, as pro-
claimed by President Eisenhower, is to
help promote the Nations well-being by
encouraging all efforts to counter soft
eningup influences in our American
way of living influences that are hav-
ing a deleteriouS effect on both the
muscle and mental tone of diSturbingly
large numbers of our young people.
The problem has been we'll summed
up by Shane MacCarthy, Executive Di-
rector of the Presidents Council on
Youth Fitness. "Today's concern for the
fitness of our YOUTH" he has declared,
lis easy to understand because it arises
from the effects of soft living. Parents
and teachers and all other adults see
too many children unwilling to partici-
pate as they sit passive and watch a
few engage in work or sport. They are
merely following the pattern set by
adults. And habits of Softness acquired
in youth will not develop into desires
ior healthy adult lives of wholesome
activity"
Mr.. Eisenhower himself has re-
peatedly commented on the worrisome
nature of this matter, and he shares
Mr.. MacCarthy's view that to attain the
goal of human fitness demands the

Ho-Hum

The Confederation of Cuban Work.
erS tried hard to get a crowd of
100000 people to listen to Fidel Cas-
tro'S May Day harangue in Havana.
But according to newsmenS estimates,
the audience numbered between 25O,O0O
and 100000. Many of these drifted away
during the opening phases of the 3la-
hour speech.
1t is this aspect of the matter,
rather than the tiresome Castro dema-
goguery, which interests U.S. For it sug-
gests that Castro is beginning to bore
his own people, and this, if true, could
be the beginning of the end of Havana's

Chessmon-ond Victim

There are two grounds upon which
valid objection might be raised to the
execution of Caryl CheSsman.
One would be that there was a sub
Stantial doubt as to his guilt, doubt
which we do not think was present in his
case. The other, of course, would be a
conscientious objection to capital pun
iShment-an objection which would ap-
ply equally to all cases no matter how
clear the guilt or how heinouS the crime.
Neither of these considerations has
been stressed in most of the mawkiSh
nonsense written about the CheSSman
case. For example, the foreign press,
possibly with an eye to the sale of pa
perS, has harped on the IL years of
"indescribable mental agony" to which
CheSSman has been subjected. What is
never mentioned is the fact that Chess
man and his reSourceful lawyers were
responsible for this 12-year delay. They
availed themselves of every opportunity,
every technicality, for appeals and stays
of execution. OF course they were
within their rights in doing this. But
why should American justice be damned

1t gives a condemned man every op-
portunity under the law to plead his
case? We cannot help but think that
most of the criticism has been the prod
uct either of monumental ignorance Of
the facts or of sinister readiness to
seize upon any propaganda weapon if
it can be used to belabor the United
States.
Finally, why has so little been writ
ten about the victims of this mans per-
verted crimes; why so much concern for
Caryl CheSSman, so little for the people
whose lives he ruined? In all of the
frenzied chatter in Cheeseman's behalf,
we have seen not one word of compass
sion for the girl, II at the time, who was
one of his victims AS a result of her
dreadful experience she has spent IL
years in mental institution, and she
may spend the rest of her life there.

1t appears as though the
Forand bill or similar legis-
lation will be enacted at this
session of Congress. AS a gen.
eral practitioner, I can see
where this free hospital
care for the aged" has hidden
advantages for all.
1t will greatly aid the over
worked physician. Most house
calls are made on elderly peo-
pie who are unable to come
to the office; however, now
we will be relieved of fight
ing traffic, driving over back
roads, and going out into the
elements. We can place our
patients in a hospital where
they can happily enjoy food,
lodging and personal attend
ants at Government expense,
while tightening our work
load. Of course, we must ad-
init these patients to the hos
pital whenever they request
and must allow them to re-
main as long as they wish,
else some of them might
complain to a Congressman.
Heaven knows, we physicians
have been criticized enough
for not being sympathetic to
the problems of the aged"
and We, too, like Congress-
men, enjoy being popular.
This bill should also benefit
us financially as it is easy
to see that a person who has
free lodging and 24-hour
service will have more money
left to pay his bills.

Historic ArIinoton

Upon my return from the
General Assembly I was de-
lighted to find a large body
Of forward-looking citizens
interested in acquiring Hume
School as a repository for
Arlington's historical records.
Since the publication of
Eleanor Templeman's Book,
"Vignettes of a Virginia
County" a large number of
our own people, as we'll as
people all over Virginia, have
suddenly come to the realiza-
ton that Arlington is tre-
mendouSly rich in historic
background. I know of few
other Virginia localities that
surpasS it.
A headquarters for historic
Arlington would serve many
excellent purposes. Most i'm
mediately, it would provide a
location for activities of the
County Civil War Centennial
Commission. Exhibitions of
local memorabilia would con-
tribute materially to the in
culation of local pride as well
as serve as a vitality useful
visual aid for educational
purposes of the public school
system. And most certainly
there should be some central
place in Arlington where her
historical records, and re-
cords of current Importance
which someday will be his
tory, may be kept. At present
many priceless local docu-
ments are being stored in
the archives of the Library
OF Virginia, where they are
never seen, simply for the
want of a home.
l trust that the Arlington
County Board will show
greater foresight than was
evident when Arlington once
had the enviable opportunity
to secure the George Mason
Branch of the University of
Virginia, and match the gen.
erous offer of the Hume
estate by contributing to the
establishment of this center
for the perpetuation of the
past and future chapters of
the Arlington Story.

extend to churches, charita-
BILE organizations, and gov
ernmental organizations at
the State, county, and city
levels. They can get out of
the responsibility for care
and let the munificent Fed
eral Government pick up the
check. Families can dump
their aged into hospitals and
spend the extra money on a
new TV set. Even retired cor
poration executives will be
eligible for benefits, and thus
can save their pensions for
new Cadillacs.
The cost will be only So or
$40 billion per year when the
program gets into high gear;

AS with every dynamic and
bold new venture, there are
a few minor problems. With
most hospital beds occupied,
a few patients with such dis
eases as severe hemorrhage,
crushed thoraX, fractured
skull, diabetic coma, or men
ingitis will have to be turned
away because no space is
available. However, some as
tute Congressman will be
able to make a name for
himself by recommending
appropriations of $40 billion
for new hospital construc-
ton.
I cannot understand the
opposition to this plan by the
reactionary American Medi-
Evening star., 1960-05-03

cal Association. The propo-
nents of the Forand bill have
repeatedly decried the buga-
boo of "socialized medicine"
and have given repeated as
surances that there will be
absolutely no governmental
interference in the free prac-
tice of medicine or in hospi-
tai operation. Therefore, hos
pitfalls and physicians can
charge what the traffic will
bear and the Government
must pay without protest.
These honorable proponents
surely would not break any
promise concerning restric-
tions.
The stubborn ANA seems
to have the outmoded idea
that the problem of the aged
can be solved by low-cost
voluntary hospital insurance
programs. They believe that
a voluntary program can be
administered more cheaply
and more efficiently without
undue strain on already over
loaded hospital facilities.
The ANA should develop a
social conscience" in the
collective sense. Hospitals
and physicians have a wind
fall and don't even have to
pay for it. The Forand bill is
financed out of the workers
pay check. The ANA should
realize that we live in the
space age and that thrift
and individual enterprise are
outmoded concepts.
