budget for the next biennium will be the
largest in its history, the sales tax be-
comes, as Governor Almond correctly
put it, IAN imperative necessity" Some
changes in the Governors plan prob
ably will be made-indeed one change
that ought to be made is in the formula
for distributing revenues throughout the
State. The Almond proposal adhereS to
the traditional system of using decennial
census figures as basis for the alloca-
tionS. In fairness to such fast-growing
areas as the Northern Virginia counties
and cities the formula should be revised
in step with changing census estimates.
We hope, however, that the Legisla-
ture will not become begged down with
debate over relatively minor details of
the sales tax program. Eventually Vir-
ginia will have to adopt a sales tax or
suffer Stagnation and deterioration of
public services and public works. If this
session of the Assembly fails to act,
Governor Almond ought to call special
session to deal with the problem.

Fighting q Virus

AS the President has warned in his
message to the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, "the virus of
bigotry seems to be ever present in the
body polite" and it must be constantly
fought as menace to freedom and
decency everywhere" A particularly
ugly manifestation of it is the recent
outbreak of acts of anti-Semitic vandal-
ism and deSecration in various parts Of
the world, including our own country.
What accounts for such vileneSS? Who
are the culpritS perpetrating it? And Just
how is it to be countered and stamped
out?
There are no easy or simple answers.
For the problem is difficult and COM
plex one rooted in the fact that there
exists in every nation a small minority
of warped minds, lunatic fringe, a
little army of ignoramuses and eccen-
tries infused with hatred or ill-will for
this group or that. These people, young
and old alike, are peculiarly susceptible
to 'the virus of bigotry," and they are
quite initiative of each other. Thus, ac-
cording to psychiatric speculation, when
some of them commit outrages against
a church or synagogue in Germany,
their counterpartS elsewhere in the
world, when they hear the neWS-Which
travels swiftly in an age of almost in
stantaneouS global communication-are
melted to do the same sort of thing in
places as widely separated as America
and Australia. In short, the craze snow
balls internationally, and all sorts of
crackpotS and adoleScents are tempted
to join in the game just for "kicks."
This helps to explain the sudden
widespread rash of anti-Semitic hooli-
ganiSm in recent weeks. 1t does not seem
to have been triggered by organized po-
litical manipulatorS or propagandiStS.
At any rate, although there have been
charges to the contrary, there is no hard
evidence that it has been deliberately
set in motion by some centralized neo-
Nazi machine or by Communist con-
spiratorS seeking to diScredit West Ger
many. The magnitude of the evil ought
not to be exaggerated in that sense, for
such exaggeration would tend to serve
as further incitement to the lunatic
fringe. Certainly, unless the problem is
kept in proper perspective, the virus in
volved in this particular outbreak of
bigotry may become worse than it is
already, which is bad enough.

One must assume that
"a. L. H." who wrote the
letter Taxpayer Pays" re-
ferring to the travels of the
President and Vice President,
is very young.
A. L. H. obviously isn't old
enough to remember the
numerous trips taken by
President Roosevelt, his wife,
his sons, his sons dog, ETC.,
or the trips the presidential
yacht made to Key West
with President Truman and
his encourage. and we do
mean "entourage."
Those of us who do re-
member know that PreSl-
dent Eisenhower disposed of
that expensive yacht, and
appreciate his having made
one big trip cover whatever
had to be done, instead of
a trip to Yalta, a trip to
Tehran, ad infinitum.

long enough to eat them for

Sauce for the Goose

The President has reacted in a COM
nonsense manner to Senator Mike
ManSfieldS eXtravagant ideas regarding
the Kremlin'S impending rocket tests in
the Central Pacific. The Senator would
have the State Department make a
strong protest Immediately and if that is
not successful to seek a special session
of the United Nations to consider and
deal with this high-handed perform
ance" Further, if the Soviet Union
should refuse to abandon the launchingS,
he would have Mr.. Eisenhower give
serious" thought to the idea of voiding
the agreement for a May summit meet
ing with Premier Khrushchev.
AS the President has indicated how
ever, Mr. ManSfield'S view makes little
sense in terms of either international
law or the precedentS our own country
has set. After all, the United States
maintains two great rocket-testing ocean
ranges of its own. One of these extends
from Cape Canaveral in Florida to AS
cenSion Island in the South Atlantic, and
the other from Vandenberg Air Force
Base in California to the Marshall Is
lands in the far Pacific. More than that,
rejecting protests from countries like
Japan land from the USSR as Wel), our
Government has on a number of occa-
SionS temporarily closed off large sea
areas around Eniwetok and warned ships
and planes against entering during nu-
clear experiments.
1t may be true, of course, as many
have suggested, that the Kremlin'S deci-
sion to test powerful new rocket in the
Pacific represents in large part polit-
ical and psychological miSsile-fleXing
move designed to impress the world, If
not intimidate it, with Soviet prowess.
Nevertheless the Russians claim that
the launching schedule is technologically
necessary for the further development
of their space program, and they have
as much right as we do as long as they
take effective safety precautions, to use
international waters for such purpose.
AS the old adage says, what's sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander The
President has done well in making clear
that the action proposed by Mr.. Mans
field would be both uniuStified and silly.

The silly game Of choosing

taken place. Self-appointed

There are some American
women among these select.
Did the judges view the ap-
parel of millions OF other
American women who dress
attractively, and base their
decisions upon such compar-
isons? Perish the vulgar
thought! The select" group
from whom the ten i'm

less numerous than the jars

The 'CoIoniuIs' Like 1t

An impressive majority of Senate
Democrats have made it clear that they
like policy committee that does not
make policy and a steering committee
that does not steer. They like Lyndon,
too, meaning in this case the "iron-
hand-in-velvet-gl glove" generalShip of
Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of
Texas. If this makes them political
colonialS -. not ready for Self-govern-
ment," to use the rather taunting de-
Scription by Senator Douglas, they ap-
pear understandably content to be on
the winning side by score of slightly
better than four to one.
All of this they demonstrated in
suppreSSing another in the series of So
called liberal upriSingS against the john
Sonian technique of leadership in the
exercise of legislative responsibility.
They did it by cutting down the chal-
lenge Of newly aggressive champion
of the liberal bloc, Senator Gore Of
Tennessee, in proposing that the policy
committee be enlarged from 9 to Is
members, that members be elected
rather than appointed (by Mr. Johnson)
and that the committee should literally
make policy rather than serving merely
as a traffic policeman" in directing
legislation to the floor. Displaying their
51-to-l2 strength on this test, the stand
patterS likewise voted 81 to II to leave
with Mr.. Johnson the authority to ap-
point members to the steering commit
tee, which in turn makes party assign
mentS to other committees.
For the Democrats, the problem of
formulating party policy has been a
diviSive one in recent years. While con-
trolling Congress, the party lacks the
authoritative voice of the White House
for its policy statements. The National
Committee device of setting up an
Advisory Council miSfired when Sen
ator Johnson and Speaker Rayburn
declined to serve, or to take direction
from outside Congress itself. And, A.
nally, the Johnson -Rayburn philosophy
of moderation and accommodation to-
ward the Republican administration has
become increasingly frustrating to the
Democratic liberals.
Actually, Mr. Johnson is being a
complete realiSt-reflecting perhaps the
most truly liberal viewpoint-in his posi-
ton on this policy making controversy.
He is aware that no Senator, liberal or
conservative, would be really bound by
policy declarations from any source. Il
would not attempt to state the policy
of my colleagues" he said during caucus
debate on the Gore motion. Il do not
think that . even Is members can
state party policy for 65" Obviously
large majority of his colleagues agree
perhaps proving again that Senators
really are individualistS, not colonials.

Eventually Not Now?

Virginia's General Assembly, con-
vening in biennial session, has been
given no chance to relax in qualification
over the fact that. for the first time since
the Supreme Courts school decision of
1854, it faces no major decisions in the
chool-integration crisis. For Governor
Almond has dumped in the legislators
laps another major problenl-Whether
to enact 3 per cent sales tax to enable
the State to move forward and provide
.. essential services" The Legislature
has ducked the politically touchy sales
tax issue in the past. But such levy
is generally recognized as inevitable if
Virginia is to meet the steadily increaS-
ing costs of giving its citizens the serv-
ices and facilities they demand. The time
has come for craftsmanship instead of
politics in coming to grips with this
queStion-and craftsmanship would die
tate adoption of the Governors plan or
some reasonable modification of it.
1t will be hard to keep politics out
of the problem, of course, for there is
popular opposition to tax increases in
general and, in some influential quar-
tiers, to the controversial sales levy in
particular. Moreover, there is shoulder
ing resentment among some legislators,
especially from the rural districts, over
Governor Almonds abandonment of the
massive resistance" policy in the in
tegration dispute. 1t would be doing the
State diSService, however, if emotions
over the school controversy we're allowed
to influence votes on the Governors
totally unrelated sales tax plan.
Governor Almond gave only a
general outline of his sales tax proposal
in his address at the opening of the
Assembly session in Richmond He
coupled the sales levy with an income
tax modification designed to make the
new tax more palatable. The income tax
personal exemption for husband and
wife would be raised from 81 900 to
$1,500 each. Tax relief also would be
afforded business firms and manufac-
turers. The net increase in tax revenues,
he said, would be about $142.6 million
over the next two years.

Reaching for Moon

Bishop OXnam's prognoSti-
cation that before another
IT'S years have passed we
will have conquered space
and come to know the
people who populate the great
pl S of the universe"
would be more convincing if.
in the first place. we knew
that people populated the
other planets. and. second, if
there were undeniable proof
that man had completely
conquered himself and the
earth upon which he dwells.
l am reminded of a poem
that runs:
I'm sure you've heard or read
about the satellites in
space,
How Russia and the
United States are in a
rocket race.
If man should ever reach the
moon, there's one thing
that is clear,
He'll ruin everything up
there Just as he has
down here.
With sin and crime, with lust
and greed, he's got
enough to do
To clean the mess he's
made on earth. and
you know that is true.
The sickness and the want
and fear, the broken
hearts and shame,
And hungry millions cry
each day and man is
all to blame.
I think we'd better set our
sights above the moon
and space,
And let's explore eternity,
while there is time and
grace.
It's not the moon we need to
reach; it's God who put
it there.
The One who went to
Calvary-a rugged
cross to bear.

What Is Home RuIe'2'

I wish to commend The
Star for the excellent edi-
torial entitled, What Is
Home Rule'?" have been
very much interested in this
subject for many years, but
none Of the plans for home
rule" submitted in the past
have even come close to what
the people of the District Of
Columbia really want-and
need. The editorial calls at
tention very forcibly to the
weaknesses of all such pro-
posals. This is the Capital
Of the United States, and the
Constitution gives Congress
exclusive Jurisdiction in all
legislative matters affecting
the District. 1t is inconceiv-
able that Congress will volun-
tarily relinquish that right:
so any Legislative acts"
which might be enacted by a
District commission, board.
or legiSlature-call it what
you will-must necessarily be
subject to the approval of
Congress.
Without making any major
change in the present form
OF local government, l am not
at all sure that some i'm
provements could not be
made. An elected school
board has been suggested
many times. 1t would be
more democratic, but would
it be better? l don't know.
I am inclined to favor an
elected utilities commission
possibly retaining the En-
gineer Commissioner, as at
present. I would favor ma
jor acts of the utility commits
sioners, such as the change
from streetcar to bus. being
submitted to a referendum of
the people Of the District
before being put into effect.
1t seems to me that the people
who ride the streetcars or
buses are the ones who should
have the final word-they
pay the bill. The recent
change was submitted to and
decided by so-called experts"
l find that word more and
more nauseating. What is
an expert? 1t was Nicholas
Murray Butler, then presi-
dent of Columbia University,
who gave this classical def
milton: AN expert is one who
knows less and less about
more and more" The "ex-
perts," at $50 a day or more,
do not ride the streetcarS or
buses; they ride in $4,000 au-
tomobiles-at public expense!
So much for mythical home
rule. I am much more in
terested in national repre-
sentation. The people of the
District should be represented
in both houses of Congress,
and by represented l mean
voting representation. Any
thing less would be useless.
I Su omit ted a proposed
amendment of the ConstItu-
ton to Senator Heating near
the close of the last session
of Congress. He seemed to be
favorably impressed. This
amendment would put the
people of the District on an
equality with those of the
States. No longer would we
be taxed without representa-
ton. 1t is important that
this be acted upon at the
present session of Congress
so it could be submitted to
the States for ratification
at the November election.

voted mo" while Senator
Humphrey, who was not pres
ent. voted yes" by proxy.
Senator Kennedy's reason
for opposing the resolution
offered by Senator Gore of
Tennessee lay in the fact that
he does not believe such a
committee should establish
Democratic policy for the
Senate. He and the great ma
jority of the Democratic Sen
atorS insist on retaining the
right to vote their own be-
liefs on individual bills that
come before them.
Strong Leader
The great majority of the
Democratic Senators, entirely
outside the presidential race,
consider Senator johnson a
strong and able leader. That
is the reason they retain him.
He showed his ability when
the Senate met in the first
session of the 86th Congress.
The liberals, including more
Senators than voted against
him this time, tried to
change the rule of the Sen
ate which retains the Sen
ate rules from one Congress
to another in order to ease
the way of more civil rights
legislation. Senator johnson
prevailed upon the Senate
% turn them down. He then
grabbed the civil rights issue
and ran with it himself. In
fact, only under his leader
ship has a civil rights bill
passed the Senate in the last
20 years.
The retention of Senate
leadership will keep very
much alive what chances
Senator johnson has for a
presidential nomination.
There is another angle in
the national political picture,
however. This fight, although
lost by Senator Gore, has
aligned him emphatically
with the liberals. If the lib
erals in the Democratic Ma
tional Convention are able to
nominate a presidential can
didate from the North or
West, as they say they will,
they are likely to turn to the
South for vice presidential
nominee. This they did in
1852 and 1856, hoping to
keep in line for the Demo-
cratic national ticket all the
States of the old solid South.
They failed to accomplish
this end, but they may try
1t again. If they do. then
Senator Gore may stand out
as a natural.
His Tennessee colleague,
Senator Estes Kefauver, who
was the choice of the DEM
ocrats for Vice President
in 1856, is busy this year
seeking denomination and re-
election to the Senate. On
the other hand, the liberals
may decide to make their
national ticket completely
Northern and Western and
so disregard the South en-
tirely. In fact, that is what
some of them have indicated.

to keep off the chair, to keep

He started out early, and
found the air too wet and

1t was one of the foggy

The air was temperate, but
wet, and it wasn't pleasant

Jones kept on walking.
A big German shepherd dog
disputed his way.
"Woof, woof," went the

Nice doggie," said Jones.
The nice doggie refused to
be placated. "Woof, woof,"
he said, coming closer.
His teeth were very large,
his tongue red, and his
muscles evidently strong.
Temp thought he would
placate the creature. so he
held out his hand for it to
smell, in the best tradition of
the dog books.

One of the first injunctions
of the dog books is to never
