Jopon's Socialists Hit Treaty,
Call Eisenhower UnweIcome

TOKYO. May 81 CAP).-
Japan's opposition Socialist
Party-furious about ratifica-
ton Of the United States
Japanese security treaty-de-
clared today that President Eli
senhower, scheduled to come
here for a visit next month,
would be unwelcome.
The newspaper Yomiuri,
which is pro-Western but often
anti-government, quoted in
f1uential government sources as
predicting President Eisen-
hover may call of his Japa-
nese trip because of the po-
litical crisis triggered by rati-
fication of the treaty.
Prime Minister Nobusuke
Kishi's Liberal Democrats,
using police to eject Socialists
blockading the speakers Office,
called a midnight session Fri
day and ratified the new treaty
with their majority vote. The
Socialists boycotted the session.
Today the Socialists de-
manded Mr.. Kishi's resignation
and new elections and de-
clared: In view Of the crisis
caused by the governments
forcible ratification we
believe a visit to our country
by Eisenhower at this time
would be unwelcome."
Sees DispleaSure Aggravated
Yomiuri's story said it was
felt in quarters concerned that
a presidential visit now would
aggravate Japanese displeasure
over the treaty.
With rival factions in his
own party pressing for him to
step down, there is some
thought that Mr.. Kishi's resig-
nation and dissolution of the
Diet (parliament) are definitely
possibilities. There appeared
little likelihood the tension
would ease by June 10, the date
Mr.. Eisenhower is scheduled to
arrive in Japan.
Mr.. Kishi said only that he
would give due consideration"
to the Socialist demands.
Demonstrators paraded and
shouted today in front Of the
American Embassy and at Mr..
Kishi'S private and official resi-
dences in continuing public
protests against the treaty,
which permits United States
bases in Japan for at least an
other 10 years.
Labor Unions Demonstrate
About 10000 demonstrators
were involved, mostly left wing
labor unionistS, or members Of
the Socialist hacked National
Council Opposing the United
States-Japan Security Treaty,
an organization which says it
expects to round up 10 million
anti-treaty signatures.
Mr.. Kishi maintains that the
treaty, signed in Washington
last January, was adequately
debated in committee. and that
ratification was therefore not
premature, as critics claim.
The new treaty, fundamen-
tally similar to the original
1851 pact, commits America to
defend Japan, provides for con-
Sultation in such matters as a
major movement Of United
States forces from Japan to
other Far East areas, and is
renewable after 10 years.
Mr.. Kishi's party maintains
the treaty is necessary for
Japan's security. The Social
lists say the presence of United
States forces here threatens to
involve Japan unwillingly in
war.

i Nature can be both beautiful and
ruthless, as Washington well knows
today, after more than "a hours of what
first was heralded as eight snow"
The light snow soon became heavier and
heAyier, and the winds became brisker
ana the life Of a city and its environs
slowed down until normal activity
including traffic movement - almost
ceased. Such, In brief, is the story of
the snowstorm which today had brought
governmental operations, Federal as
well as District, virtually to halt.
We pay our respects to the paralyz-
ing power Of nature on wintry rampage
and with special emphasis, to the
ofneialS, Federal and local, who sensibly
decreed holiday for all governmental
workers not vitality needed on their Jobs.
And this goes, too, for the school
autnorities who acted promptly to an
n0nnce the closing Of all classes. A word
OF gratitude also is due the snow-clear-
ing crews, the police and all the other
public servants who helped to ease the
impact Of the worst snowstorm of what
may be memorable season.

Winning Small Hearts

However the worldwide battle goes
for the minds of men, 1t is good that
one American private enterprise has
found way to win small hearts at
Christmastime.
The United States Lines, whose S.
ships visit virtually all the major ports
of the globe, has announced that its
Project Santa Claus" will be in business
over the holiday season. Inaugurated
last year, the project involves Christmas
parties on shipboard for orphanage chill
dren in 26 ports throughout the world.
A minimum of 20 orphan youngsters will
be invited aboard company freighterS Of
limited passenger capacity and up to 100
aboard the flagship United States. The
party dates will vary over a l5-day
holiday period, according to when the
ships are in port. Christmas dinner,
trees, decorations, gifts and fun are on
the menu.
In making its announcement, the
United States Lines quoted some Of the
warmly complimentary newspaper no
tices received last year in waterfront
cities of Europe and Asia. 1t is safe to
assume that the warmest did not exag-
gerate the pleasure given the young
guests, or perhaps even the sea-going
hosts, by this translation Of the season
Of good will into few hours Of reality.

Need to Close the Gop'

The appeal by Arthur ]. Goldberg.
general counsel Of the United Steelwork-
ers, for new effort to "close the gap"
between labor and industry deserves
thoughtful consideration on several
grounds.
One is the basic condition described
by Mr. Goldberg, namely, that after more
than 20 years Of collective bargaining
under procedures sanctioned and en-
couraged by law there has not yet devel-
oped real mutual respect and under
standing in the labor relations field.
While there are exceptions, perhaps, to
this generalization, Mr.. Goldberg feels
that recently the cold war between the
two forces has worsened-that man
agement is tougher, unions are tougher
and the end product has not been good
for either side or for the public" Appro-
pr1ately, he cites last years 116-day steel
strike-a labor relations breakdown that
was deeply harmful to the national econ
omy-to illustrate his point. -
But 1t is In the critical demands
imposed by the times that Mr.. Goldberg's
views most urgently warrant explora-
ton. In the global cold war between
communism and freedom, we cannot
afford on the home front a bitter and
continuing division between the two seq
ments Of our society that are so greatly
responsible for both our military and
industrial strength. The hardening Of
this division, the labor spokesman
points out, can lead to disillusionment
and a militant class consciousness that
are bound to be weakening. BY contrast,
during shot war" (World War III, he
points out that the sense Of national
need served to set aside in large measure
the abor-induStry differences.
To help meet today's challenge, Mr.
Goldberg has proposed before the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers that
the administration of President-elect
Kennedy should set up National Coun-
Gil Of Labor-Management Advisers, in
cluding representatives of the public as
well as Of labor and industry. This Is not
a new proposal, and It would not be the
function Of this council to intervene In
collective bargaining or to become a
policeman In the labor relations field. It
could, however, from the objective
standpoint Of national interest, help in
the development Of programs and poll
cies which might ease the frictions gen.
Grated by such issues as automation.
There has been speculation that Mr..
Goldberg may have an important post in
the Kennedy administration. Whether
he does or not, he is an influential and
eloquent spokesman in the labor rela-
tions field and in this case, he speaks
responsibly.

Mission Accomplished?

The announcement of the recall of
the United States naval patrol in Carib-
bean waters suggests that its mission has
been accomplished. The exact nature
OF this mission, however, has been and
still is somewhat less than crystal clear.
In early November there were re-
volts in Guatemala and Nicaragua, with
both governments charging that Fidel
Castro was behind the uprisings. They
appealed for help, and President Eisen-
hover, on November II, ordered United
States aircraft carrier and several de-
stroyerS to patrol the waters of the
coasts Of the two Latin American states.
The announced purpose was "to seek
out and prevent Intervention on the part
OF Communist directed elements in the
internal affairs of Guatemala and Mica
ragua through the landing of armed
forces and supplies" Now, three weeks
later, the White House has announced
that the patrol has been recalled because
the two threatened governments had
stated that "the emergency which led
to their requests" for help had passed.
It is our belief that the rendering of
this assistance, once the request had
been made, was justified. And the Presi-
dent Of Guatemala has said that the
patrol prevented outside forces from
giving support to the Communist
inspired revolutionary movement in his
country. Our own Governments state
ment, however, is notably silent on the
point Of whether the naval patrol
actually detected any attempt at inter-
vention or whether 1t really prevented
the landing Of any armed forces or
supplies Presumably, 1t did neither. If
this is correct, the recall of the patrol is
timely-especially against the back
ground of Castro's cries of Yankee
imperialism" and reports of certain
uneasiness in several other Latin Amer
ican countries whose governments were
finding 1t difficult to explain to the salts
faction Of their people the presence of
American warshipS in Caribbean waters.

Protection for Sovinqs

Maryland, with no controls what
ever over savings and loan Arms, has
become happy hunting ground for
shady operators from out of the State,
using remote e-control methods Of fleeing
the public. It is encouraging to learn,
therefore, that special committee ap-
pointed by Governor Tawes will urge the
next General Assembly to enact regula-
tory legislation.
The need for such regulation al
ready has been recognized by the State
legislature. Last year 1t passed a bill
with mild controls, but Governor Tawes
vetoed it because he feared that 1t would
adversely affect some of Baltimore's So
called "neighborhood" lending associa-
tionS. These unique Arms, while of good
reputation, protested that they could not
readily comply with the various require
ments Of the proposed law, including
financial reporting and insurance pro-
visions. The Governor at the time said
he would approve law which would
drive out the racketeers without hurting
the vast majority of honest associations.
While details of the new bill are
lacking, 1t is said that 1t would accom-
plish the objectives set forth by the
Governor. Control over the savings and
loan industry would be vested in a new
department, with a full-time admins

There is silver lining to the crime
cloud which continues to darken the
local law enforcement picture. Although
lawlesSness climbed upward during the
first nine months Of this year, prospects
for strengthened police force and ex-
panded street patrols are brighter than
usual. And when police surveillance in
creaSeS, crime has habit of declining.
The crime rise in the District for the
first three-quarterS of 1860 was approx
mately II per cent, the same as the
national trend, according to the FBI
National Crime Reports for the period.
The greatest increase was in robberies,
burglarieS and larcenieS, with rape
leading the category listed as crimes
against the person"
Meanwhile, with more than 1870
vacancies still untitled on the police
force, Chief Murray has been directing
. an intensive recruiting drive for appli-
cantS. AS result, inquiries by pos
sible applicants for police jobs are up
about 300 per cent. The Civil Service
Commission has held several police
examinations.
Unfortunately, experience has shown
that only a small percentage of those
who take such tests are certified to Chief
Murray as eligible for appointment, and
usually substantial number of these
fail to meet requirements upon being in
terviewed and investigated. The de-
partment will consider itself lucky II as
many as 100 qualified applicants are
obtained as result of the latest ex-
animation. However, even that number
would be of great help in coping with

Unhappy Losers

A letter signed by Thomas
H. Griffin, Wesley E. Brice,
and Bill Jones, argues that
Mr.. Kennedy has no clear
mandate from the American
Nation to carry out his in
tended program-that he has
a legal right but no moral
right to take decisive action.
I should like to ask the
above-named gentlemen land
the many others who share
their view how great a ma.
jority is needed, in their
opinion, to empower a Presi-
dent to institute contem-
plated reforms and to pursue
a determined course of politi-
cal action. Is 1t possible to
draw a line except at the
halfway mark? Regardless
of the results Of any partic-
ular election Landslide or
otherwise), there will always
be an unhappy minority.
A modern democracy can
not allow it's citizens to rule
directly. It can only offer
them a periodic choice among
competing candidates for Of
flee and the possibility of later
reconsideration. This. 1t must
be hoped, constitutes a suf-
ficient detergent to the insti-
tuition of wholly unpopular
reforms during any given ad-
ministration.
More control than this is
likely to lead to ineffective
government - an intolerable
condition for this country at
the present time. Constant
"backseat driving" attempts
on the part Of the public and
the press must be regarded
as harmful. An incoming

Vote Recheck

In all the hullabaloo about

lection and punishment of
vote thieves. Your editorial

an inquiry should not be
made unless there was q rea-
sonable chance Of changing
the election results. I dis
agree. There is no greater
political crime than vote
stealing. It makes a mockery
Of our republican form of
government. II, God forbid,
1t ever becomes established
that vote thieves will not be
punished. then the ability Of
the people to control their
government will be ended.

bombarded with admonitions
to vote for the candidates Of

vice that would be If the
votes were not counted.
