a development that seems improbable at
the moment.
As to that, however, there are no
guarantees. Actually, the socio-political
makeup of the Republic of the Congo
hardly promises to be helpful to govern
ing stability. Some estimates show, for
instance, that there are at least 200
different parties, or splinter groups,
operating over there in addition to the
organizations represented in the new
government, whose President and Pre-
mier are from opposite wings of the Ma
tionaliSt Movement. Equally important,
if not more so, the country is troubled
with deep and numerous tribal divisions
that could make unity impossible.
1t is small wonder therefore that
the Fluctuations being extended to this
new African republic must be extended
with certain measure of reserve
especially so in view of the riotous dem
onstrations just staged in Leopoldsville
by diSSident politicoS seeking places in
the f1edgling cabinet. To put it mildly,
outsiders cannot be blamed if they fear
that the CongoleSe may be undertaking
to do too much too soon in the difficult
realm of Self-government.

Senator Lyndon Johnson blameS
the summer heat for Governor "Soapy"
Williams suggestion that the Majority
Leader had reSorted to form of politi-
cal blackmail in an effort to win the
Democratic nomination. This is too
charitable an explanation.
Governor Williams, who is backing
Senator Kennedy for the nomination,
made his accusation on Sunday in an
Swer to a press conference question.
The Governor said one of Walter Reu-
theirs lieutenantS told him Senator
johnson had threatened to block health
benefits for the aged If the Michigan
Governor were to announce his support
Of Senator Kennedy. This is vicious
Stuff-eSpecially so since Mr.. Reuther,
one Of the Governors Staunch political
allies, says the accusation "has no basis
in fact"
Furthermore, Governor Williams
cannot plead lack of opportunity to
find out whether his charge was true.
For he said on Sunday, June 26, that
he told Senator Kennedy about this
alleged threat prior to June 2. Why
didn't he ask Walter Reuther whether
it was true before smearing Senator
Johnson?
This Williams effort is cut from the
same political cloth as the insinuation
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., during
the West Virginia primary, that Sena-
tor Humphrey was Stacker in World
War II. This is dirty politics, and it
is bit surprising that the liberals"
seem so undiSturbed by it. If Mr. Nixon
were the offender their roars of out
rage would be heard from Maine to

Don't Limit 1t to States

The Senate has approved a bill to
legalize the use of wire-tap evidence
in State courts. We heartily indorse
this proposal, as far as it goes. But
it does not go far enough. Why should
the privilege Of using the valuable wire
tap technique be restricted to State
authorities? The benefits of properly
controlled overlapping ought to be fully
available to Federal law enforcement
agencies, too.
The Senate bill, sponsored by Sen
ator Heating of New York, was designed
to meet what New York police described
as an emergency growing out of Fed
eral court ruling outlawing wire-tap evi-
dence in State prosecutions. The effect
of the decision was to nullify New York
State law permitting police to listen in
on wire communications, with court per-
mission. The United States Court of Ap-
peals held that the State act was in
conflict with the 1884 Federal Communi-
cations Act forbidding 'interception and
divulgence" of telephone or telegraph
messages.
Congress certainly should make it
clear that police in the States are not
to be shackled by an absurd wire-tap
restriction in their war on major GRIM
inalS. And Congress also should give
similar wire-tapping privileges to the
FBI and other intelligence agencies,
under court Safeguards-with the right
to use any evidence thus obtained in
prosecuting spies, kidnapers and other
public enemies"

Why the Delay?

1t is hard to understand why the
So-called Wilderness Bill continues to
languiSh in committee at the Capitol.
The Senate Interior Committee COM
pleted hearings on the measure long
ago, but it still has the bill under study
in executive committee" No hearings
have been held on the House side at all.
Yet this bill involves no appropriations,
no hiring Of additional personnel or
other apparently Objectionable aspects.
Its purpose is Of the highest order-to
establish for the first time as a. national
policy the preservation of what remains
OF Americas great national parks and
forests.
Congress from time to time, since
the creation of Yellowstone National
Park in 1872, has evidenced its desire
to save important remnants of the Ma
tion's primeval areas from destruction
by commercial interests. However, there
has been no overall policy statute
to guide these piecemeal conservation
moves. The Wilderness Bill, favored
by administration officials, conservation
organizations and many other groups,
would furnish such guide. The pro-
posed legislation would not foreclose
Congress from opening certain lands to
exploitation in the future, If this were
regarded as in the public interest, but
it would put a much-needed restraint
on hasty legislation, pressured by lum-
ber, cattle, mining or other interests.
Our natural resources are feeling
these pressures in ever-increasing de-
grees. We will be neglecting our re-
sponsibilities if we fail to make every
reasonable effort today to save them.

The Virginia State Board
OF Elections recently released
its estimates of Virginians
qualified to vote in the Old
Dominion as of April.
Besides telling that Vir-
ginia now has close to 975,-
600 voters, the report showed
that Virginia has more than
100000 registered Negro vot-
ers. There were 866,794 white
voters. 100,100 Negro voters,
11,Ol4 race not specified and
rs American Indians.
But of real Importance, the
report shows that the fast
growing Tenth Congressional
District, in Northern Vir-
ginia, has the biggest DO
tential vote" Of any other
area in the Old Dominion.
NorCnern virginia has 49,
$50 voters-3,249 of them Ne
gro - registered out of the
$4,000 total for the whole
state.
These figures indicate that
Northern Virginia will not
only play an increasing role
in the body polite of the
Old Dominion, but that it
will also become increasingly
important to any national
and State candidates hoping
to carry the State.

Unfair to Business?

H.R. 10, the So-called Jen-
kins-Keough Bill, is due for
the floor of the Senate. This
proposed new tax law origi-
nally was intended to pro-
vide moderate, self-financed
pensions for Self-employed
persons. Quite unfortunately,
the good intent of this bill
has been wrec ed. The
Treasury has persuaded the
Senate Finance Committee
to add riders which are dis
criminatory to the small
businessman and help to
widen the gulf between giant
business and small business
insofar as equitable tax treat
ment is concerned.
Specifically, the Treasury
has persuaded the Senate
Finance Committee to add
riders placing severe limita-
tions on what may be done
in the way of pensions and
profit sharing plans for en-
ployes who own more than
ten per cent of the stock Of
small companies. These re-
strictions are lengthy and
most onerouS. Under the
provisions of the rider, for
example, not more than
$4,000 could be deposited for
a small corporation employee
stockholders pension plan,
while a pension plan for the
same person within the
protective custody of a large
corporation would have no
such limitation. Clearly this
makes the attractiveness of
the corporate giant so great
as to throttle the manage
ment incentives Of the small
owner-managed business.
The riders to the Jenkins
Keough Bill are only one
evidence of the steps which
are being taken in Washing
ton which are helping to
destroy our concept of mod
crate sized owner-manage-
ment business, which has
been the heart of American
industrial growth.

Too Much Too Soon?

Naturally enough, now that 1t is
about to assume full independence from
Belgium, the Republic of the Congo is
receiving messages of congratulations
and best wishes from all parts of the
world. But behind the mesSages-which
are de rigueur in international diplo-
macy-are more than few Senders who
have their fingers crossed because Of
grave misgivings about the future of
this newest Of Seething Africa's new
nations.
The reasons for the misgivings are
not hard to find. Encompassing an area
one-third the size of the United States,
the Congo is rich in diamonds, copper,
uranium and other minerals, and it's
general economic and social develop
ment under the Belgians has been mark
edly superior to that of most comparable
African lands. But it has internal short
comings of a deadly serious kind. For
example, apart from its 100000 white
residents, its population of IA million
Negroes contains only a disturbingly
small percentage of individuals equipped
for civil service at any level, high or low.
Indeed, according to reliable &C
counts, there are fewer than two dozen
college graduates in this population.
Here is truly appalling statistic. 1t
leaves little room for doubt that the Re-
public of the Congo, as it takes on the
responsibilities of sovereign nationhood
cannot really be independent" in the
sense of not having to rely on very
large measure of outside help and guild
ance. Clearly, this must continue to be
provided for long time, and preSum-
ably it will come from the Belgians un-
less the Congolese government chooses
! to turn to the MoScow-Peiping Axis

Mr.. KS Troubles

Nikita Khrushchev is hav-
ing a difficult time these days.
On one hand he breaches CO.
existence and promises Ivan
a bright and rosy future
one that would even surpaSs
the United States economical
ly in the next 10 years.
At the same time he's jeo-
pardizing his supposed very
friendly relations with Red
China, whose program def
nitely excludes coeXistence,
and I am sure they don't go
along with Mr.. ks idea that
no world war is needed for
the triumph Of Socialist ideas
throughout the world.
1t seems that Mr.. Khru-
shchev, like other preceding
Soviet leaders, has talked
himself into a very unenvia-
BILE position. Based on past
Russian history, he just
doesn't figure to be around
too long.

Americas Goals

Much has been spoken and
written recently by liberals
and left-wingers on the sub
ject of What is our national
purpose?" or. as Adlai Ste
venson put it. I'VE must re-
direct our efforts to a new
national purpose. I get the
uneasy feeling that these
people, as in the past, are
trying to confuse the public.
The United States has had
a very clear and fortnight
policy Of national purpose.
This was aptly expressed by
Gen. Omar Bradley in 1949,
when the then chairman Of
the Joint Chiefs Of Staff
enumerated them:
81. The national desire is
for peace and security with
out sacrifice Of individual
rights or national sovereign
ty. but not peace at any
price.
20. We want the mainte-
nance of our political way of
life and our form of govern
ment: We do not require other
nations to have either.
"3. We wish to maintain
and raise the American stand
ard of living.
"a. We seek peace and Sc
curity for the entire world.
"5. We will work for an
effective world organization,
based on the United Nations.
"6. We hope ultimately for
the elimination of warfare as
a means for the resolution Of
international dispute"

These great humanita-

voter as much choice as the

Strait Jacket

No one who has followed the course
of urban renewal in Washington can
be satisfied with its progress, and the
time is long overdue to Straighten out its
kinks and snarlS. This benefit, however,
never will be accomplished by the bill
introduced by Representative Rabaut of
Michigan and approved, unfortunately,
by the House. It's passage, in our judg-
ment, was a grievouS mistake, and we
hope no action on it is taken in the
Senate.
BY completely changing the ma
chinery for urban renewal, the Rabaut
bill would bind the Washington program
in strait jacket of the sort that exists
nowhere else in the country, and require
the Nations Capital to adopt practices
which other cities have discarded. Its
proposals., almost without exception, are
restrictive-and its goals are more hope
full than realistic.
Without attacking the actual causes
of delay, the bill assumes that by con-
f1ning the renewal effort to Southwest
Washington the problems which have
held up progress there will somehow
miraculouSly disappear. 1t would ban
urban renewal in the downtown bust
ness diStrict-where vigorous revital-
ization effort now under way is almost
wholly dependent upon urban renewal.
Perhaps the most serious of all is
its requirement that the government,
rather than private developer, prepare
the finished plans for each urban re-
newal project so that the project can
be placed on the auction block for COM
petitive bidding. Certainly competition
more than has taken place thus far in
Westinghouse desirable. But the Ra-
baut approach goes so far as to relegate
private enterprise in urban renewal al
most entirely to the role of contractor.
The concept of urban renewal through
out the country is to create, through the
abilities Of private entrepreneurs, new
vitality in cities. Under the Rabaut bill,
imagination and vision would be re-
placed by sterility and mediocrity.
1t is no wonder that, during the
House debate, Representative Green of
Pennsylvania called the bill "very
dangerous piece of legislation" and ex-
pressed concern that any such rigid re-
versals might also be applied to renewal
in Philadelphia. Already, similar alarm
is being voiced by national organiza-
tionS.
1t is too late in this session, but Con-
gress might well turn its attention next
year to some less drastic, and more eff
fective, correction of the real problems
facing renewal here. In the meantime,
the House can perform true service to
the tagging Southwest project by enact
ing the Senate-passed bill permitting
transfer of land along the Southwest
waterfront to the Redevelopment Land
Agency, and by approving number of
amendments to the RIA act which were
proposed by the District Commissioners.

One good way, when one is
forced out on a cold wintry

of the wind, is to stop every

back to the breeze.

Man With Plan

Let underground parking
areas be installed beneath
the Mall from the Capitol
grounds westward to the Lin
coin Memorial grounds.
The fact that much of this
area has never been covered
by buildings means that
sewer, water and electrical
lines would not interfere to
any great extent.
Underground parking areas
in the Mall could also be
made to provide "fallout"
shelters If deemed desirable.
Unless adequate parking fa-
cilities are provided in down.
town Washington, that area
will completely shrivel up.
I have an Office in a mod
ern Office building near the
Commerce Building and my
rent is 500 per month. It
costs me $49.50 per month to
park in a nearby parking
garage. Office buildings are
being erected in nearby
Maryland and Virginia and
unless the parking problem
is solved many professional
people will move out Of
Washington.
The proposal to establish
a Metropolitan Transporter
tion Authority will accom-
pliSh nothing. The rush to
the suburbs has carried. fam
lilies into the remote byways
to such a degree that rail
lines could reach only a very
small fraction of them. Fur
ther the cost of rail or bus
transportation has become
prohibitive, especially where
several members of a family
must get to work every day.
Only the private automobile
can reach out into the remote
areas and give transporta-
tton to family groups at a
cost that is not prohibitive,
and only parking facilities
relatively close to the heart
OF the city can make the use
OF the private automobile
possible.

Surplus Solution?
Stuart Hamilton

A Federal Government re-
port recently disclosed the
millions of dollars it costs
the Nations taxpayers each
year to store surplus food. 1t
doesn't seem possible that we
should have such a problem
while millions of people in
underdeveloped areas of the
world are suffering from mall
nutrition and starvation. But
even more astonishing is the
fact that this problem has
been with us for some years,
and still awaits a solution.
This matter of obtaining a
solution is quite complex-it
involves not merely the re-
moval of current surplus food
stocks to the worlds starving
or undernourished peoples, it
also involves such issues as
future production and sur
pluses and possible control of
them: storage of newly-pro-
duced foods and tranSporta-
ton of surplus items to the
ultimate consumer.
But while the problem is
complex, I believe that it can
be solved and that the way to
solve it is through and in the
United Nations. This is an
international problem, and its
solution should be found in
an international organization.
I believe that what we need
is a conference, within the
framework of the United Ma
tions, of the foremost experts
on production, storage, trans
portation, food administra-
tion and so on. to hammer
out a comprehensive program
for the quick and effective
distribution Of surplus food
to the needy in every country
including our own.
I believe that particular
attention must be paid to as
sure that surplus foods will
not get into hands for which
they were not intended. And
I believe that the cost Of the
program should be borne by
the United Nations, with pro-
portionate contributions from
member countries, if neces-
sary. These are problems for
a United Nations Surplus
Food Conference" to consider.
I am certain that If we leave
the problem to such a con-
ference, we shall be given a
solution that will be entirely
satisfactory.
