the plane were Presbyterian
missionaries.
Welcomed on Landing
When the giant cargo doors
of the plane opened, a welcom-
ing party of four high-ranking
Air Force officers and officials
of the American Baptist For
eign Missionaries Society and
the president of the Washing
ton Council of Churches went
aboard. Customs and immi-
grafton officials went aboard
also and quickly passed the
refugees.
There was no baggage in
spection because most of them
had fled with only the clothes
they wore.
Also on hand to greet them
were more than 80 Red Cross
volunteers, who consulted with
them about their immediate
needs and explained to them
that the Red Cross had ar
ranged for them to stay at the
Statler Hotel until they could
continue on to their homes.
Emergency supplies such as
shaving equipment, soap and
even toys for the children were
provided. There also was a

Mrs. Stuart, who was wear

the same thing, happened to
the other American families in
her community. She told how
the missionaries were beaten
to the ground with rifle butts
and then the Congolese jumped
on their backs. There was one
single American girl there, a
nurse, who was raped.
Mrs. Stuart, a theology stu
dent graduate of Gordon Col
lege in Boston eight years ago,
says she harbors no ill feelings
toward most of the Congolese.
Mrs. Stuart said she did not
believe the Congolese appeared
to be ready for independence.
This sentiment was echoed
by other Americans who ar

Indeed, NewlandS is a very

the Rambler asked incredu-

NO." she said, and in that
short syllable you could sense
rising doubt.
do you know where New

not in a challenging, but in
a friendly, guiding sort of
way.
"The name is familiar" he
said. Undoubtedly the park
was named for Senator

Life With Castro

This country has given Fidel Castro
the benefit of the doubt for long, long
time. Now the make-believe days are
behind us. Judging from the discussion
attending the passage by Congress of the
Cuban sugar quota bill, we have had
about all that we intend to take from
the pro- Communist dictator who rules
the Pearl of the Antilles.
For our part, we hope this really is
the significance of the congressional ac-
ton. A cautionary word may be in order,
however. In recent years, without good
reason in our judgment, economic and
political sanctions were invoked against
Argentina and Spain. In each case they
failed to achieve their purpose. They.
failed because they were half measures,
not adequate to the task. And this same
policy will fail again if we approach
the problem posed by Mr.. Castro with
the notion that cut in Cuba's sugar
quota will surely do the job. This may
not be enough, and if we are going to
embark on this course-which we should
we ought to be prepared to do all that
is necessary, including making real
effort to enlist our Latin American
neighbors in the drive, to keep Castro's
Cuba from becoming full-blown Com
muniSt beachhead in this hemisphere.
There are risks in this, especially the
risk that Castro may be followed by
something worse, but we are left with
out any real choice except to try to
bring about a change for the better.

Johnson's S Aces

Senator Lyndon Johnson has moved
into the Democratic poker game with
strong hand-a hand topped by the
three aces of responsibility, achieve
ment and experience.
In stalking his claim to his partys
nomination on the ground of his per-
formance as Majority Leader, the Texas
Senator is doing that which is both
politically wise and politically necessary.
He and Senator Kennedy have not been
in similar situations. The latter's only
chance for the nomination was to go
out and fight for ito go into the
primaries, not only to collect delegates
but, of even more Importance, to DEM
onStrate some vote-getting ability. This
is what Senator Kennedy has done, and
if he has missed Senate roll calls in
the process that was unavoidable. He
did what he had to do.
The same thing holds true for Sem
ator Johnson. AS Majority Leader, he
had to stay on the job in Washington.
With the Senate in session, he could
not spend much time transforming
around the country, and he could not
be expected to enter primaries unless
he proposed to spend at least as much
time campaigning as did Senator Ken
nedy.
So the Texas Senator is emphaSiz-
ing what, for him, is the positive. He
is StreSSing his devotion to his post
of duty and responsibility here in Wash
ington." He speaks of his experience,
and of the continuing need for exper-
ience in these dangerous times He says
that the Democratic Party, under his
leadership in the Senate, has built
record of responsibility, and that
Americans have approved" Response
bility, he says, has won the trust and
the votes of the Nation, and he is sure
that responsibility only response
bility-will win again this fall and win
the greater challenges" which lie far
ther ahead.
This is neither immodeSt nor un-
justified. 1t is true, certainly on the
whole, that the Johnson leadership in
the Senate has been marked by high
competence and sense of responsibility
And it is true that the response of the
voters has been to elect impressive Dem
ocratic congressional majoritieS-even
in 1856 when President Eisenhower
swept to tremendous Republican presi-
Dental victory.
The johnson record is outstanding
and it entities him to very serious con-
sideration at the hands of his fellow
Democrats. There can be no question
about this. The real question, it seems
to us, is whether, considering the Ken
nedy lead, he has started, not with too
little, but too late.

Measures Candidates
F. w. r.

May mere voter voice an
opinion?
1t is told of Sir Winston
Churchill that upon one oc-
casion he rose in Commons
to answer a f1re-eating op-
ponent and began thus: "The
honorable gentleman ought
not to engender more indig-
nation than he can contain"
This reminds one of Senator
Kennedy who seems to have
engendered more ambition
than he can contain. The
effect is frenzy. If that young
man possessed the intelli-
genee he is credited with he
would curb his ego for eight
years, when, having learned a
lot, he might have a chance.
In this prediction babble
one hears little that is re-
assuring. There is greatness
in this country but we shall
not have a chance to vote for
tit looks like. One sees few
of the symptoms in any of
the painting candidates. This
voter is looking for a man of
maturity, of grinding exper-
ience in living and in public
affairs; one who understands
people, all sorts of people,
and, if it is not asking too
much, a man of personal
humility. We have such a
man at present, but where
is his like? Hope springs
eternal :"
Thanks for listening.

Wooden-Heoded Rule

Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd R. Crump of
Silver Spring are good citizens-good
enough so that the Montgomery County
Welfare Department was perfectly will
ing to entruSt them three years ago with
baby boy for foster home, care Ordi-
narily this would have been for six
months. There was some question, how
ever, as to whether this boy was re-
tarded, so the welfare people left him
with the CrumpS for 18 months. Then it
was decided that the boy was all right
and, despite the pleas of the CrumpS
that they be permitted to adopt and
keep him, the youngster was turned over
to another couple. Now a Maryland
court, feeling that at this late date the
boy should not be taken from the couple
who we're permitted to adopt him year
and half ago, has ruled reluctantly
against the CrumpS.
Why did the welfare people refuse
even to consider the CrumpS appeal to
adopt the boy they had cared for and
had become so devoted to? 1t seems that
the welfare department has rule"
against this sort of thing. The rule does
not forbid leaving a possibly retarded
child with a couple for year and half.
The child may get the best of care. But
when the time for adoption finally rolls
around, the rule says that the foster
parents may not even be considered, no
matter how much they love the child or
how much they have done for him.
This is the sort of thing that is
raUSinp an increasing number of OeOOle
to see red when they have to deal with
welfare departments and their stupid
rules.

Traffic Hazards

hlhS LLlOSI VI IIlOSc WIlO 10
not drive, I depend largely
on public transportation, but
am also an occasional guest
in a private car. Having been
in Washington since horse
car days, I have seen prob
ably every kind of fault of
both drivers and pedestrians
in traffic plus some of the
sad results of those faults.
I desire to be a good citi-
zen, but also for a time, a
living one. If I see an auto
mobile rounding a curve to-
ward me, I stop, knowing
that I can brake more read
lily than the driver Of the
car. but if he motions me on,
I cross quickly in order to
relieve him of the apprehen-
sion that I may start cross
ing if he resumes driving.
So far it has worked.
I notice complaints that
some pedestrians cross short
OF the cross-walks. In various
parts of town there are some
very long blocks, and have
asked policemen if it is per-
missible to cross in the mid
die Of a long block if ones
objective is in the middle
across the street. All said it
was, one adding that the cor
ner lights should be watched
for the flow of traffic. But un-
less the block is long and
traffic light. there is not only
personal danger, but a most
dangerous example especially
for children, in mid-block
crossing.
AS a peQeSJrlan, l ma the
most trying fault of the auto
mobile driver is in continuing
to drive across a street when
the block ahead is filled with
cars stopped on a red light at
the corner above. That blocks
the cross-walk, and makes it
necessary for the pedestrian
to cross fearfully in front Of
a car, or duck, sometimes
dangerously, back of it.
The pedestrians glaring
fault is crossing on a red
light even though there is
no immediate traffic on the
street. That is a most cruel
example to children who do
as an adult does but less
often as one says.
Old Inhabitant.
