A staff member such as

recall from World War I days
a soldier song promising
murder for (a) the bugler
who blows "reveille." and (b)
the "other pup-the guy who
wakes the bugler up." Similar
sentiments ethe in the
peacetime bosoms Of those
of US who prefer to get UP

On the practical side, one

Under the present labor

A second practical benefit
might be felt in a reduction

Independent Man

Senator Byrd's mind the
platform the Democrat can
didates ran on was too So
cialistic, and. therefore.
something he did not, in his
heart. believe in. If he was
honest in his convictions,
and to the principles in
which he believes so strongly.
he could not support the
Democrat platform in its
entirety.
Senator Byrd is an honest.
dedicated man. There should
be more like him in the
United States Senate and
less people who bow to pres
sures to get elected to public
Office, even to the Presidency
of the United States.
Donald Baldwin
Senator Harry Byrd's letter
to Senator Joseph Clark in
which he explains his political
philosophy is interesting. Sen
ator Byrd, like Vice President
Nixon and other Republic
cans. proclaims himself a
disciple of Jeffersonian De-
mocracy and States Rights.
Jefferson's principles Of
government applied when the
13 States were largely agri-
cultural communities - best
served by strong, local gov
ernment. Long since then,
with the Industrial Revolu-
ton in the 10Th Century and
with technocracy in the Goth
Century, this Nation has be-
come a giant industrial COM
plex with the need of Fed
eral supervision and aid. The
population growth alone has
rendered the poorer States
unable to provide adequate
services for their citizens.
New situations and problems
have made the advocacy of
strong. local government OBJ
solescent. (The portion Of
Jefferson's philosophy that
lives is his supreme dedica-
tion to human and civil
rights. Some Southerners and
Republicans are strongly si-
lent in this vital area.)
Is it not Senator Byrd who
is radical when he still ap-
plies 18th Century political
principles to the Goth Gen.
tury complex? Wouldn't it be
commendable and honest of
Senator Byrd to relinquish
his label of Democrat and
join the Goldwater school of
thought that so nearly
matches his?
The Democratic Party of
today has experienced an
evolution necessary to meet
the demands and challenges
of the jet-nuclear environ
ment. Senator Byrd has not
changed with the times.

knowledge of the authorities.
Certainly If such q conspir-
acy exists it is one Of the
least clandestine operations
ever mounted.
This does not mean, of
course, that there isn't
abundant fuel in Algeria for
a serious explosion. Given
the embittered and des-
perate mood of a large part
of the Europeans there, any
call to action would mean
trouble. The heavy police
reinforcementS that have
been pouring into the ter
ritory In recent weeks are
evidence enough that the
danger Of widespread rioting
is not being taken lightly in
Paris. And the danger of
an assassination atte mpt
against Gen. de Gaulle is
real.
Lack Of leadership
At the same time. how
ever, there also has been an
impression in Algiers of con-
fusion, disorganization and
lack of leadership among
these unhappy would-be in
surrectionists. There Is a
bitter recollection Of how
last January's revolt fizzled
in the face of Gen. de
Gaulle's refusal to be in
timidated. And a common
awareness that If 1t is to
succeed the next blow must
be better prepared and led.
It is unlikely that either
Mr.. Lagaillarde or his fell
low fugitive, Joseph Ortiz,
could supply this leadership.
Both are popular enough with
the mob in Algiers. But
neither rates very high with
the French army whose sup
port for anything more than
q brief and local disturbance
would be essential. Mr.. La
gaillarde has further dam
aged himself by his decision
to run out on his trial. The
reaction of his fellow depu-
ties is indicated by the vote
Of 424 to 81 in the National
Assembly Wednesday lifting
his parliamentary immunity
from arrest.
There are, to be sure, q
number of other figures,
tagged at least in the pub
lie imagination as potential
leaders of the revolutionary
movement. who are conven-
iently out of the country at the
moment. Jacques Soustelle,
Gen. de Gaulle's bitter polit-
ical antagonist, is in New
York attending the United
Nations debate on Algeria as

salan, former commander-in-
chief in Algeria, is vacation

II any of these gentlemen
were to throw their weight
behind an insurrection in AL
geria the outlook would be
grim, indeed. But there is no
evidence so far that any of
them are planning an immi-
nent move. And in contrast
to the mood in Algeria, there
is q tendency here to treat
the current crisis more as a
piece Of mystery fiction than
q real threat against the
safety of the Republic.

ing, because it is beyond his
control. Scolding is of no

is q vGry definite mistake.
AtteUpting to keep liquor
fro.n an alcoholic is entirely
Useless. Telling an alcoholic
he is committing a sin by
getting drunk only goes to
cultivate the already pro-
nounced feeling Of inferiority
and sinfulness. Alcoholism is
not q sin. no more Of q sin
than diabetes. cancer, TB. or
any other well-known insidi-
Gus disease that affects all
classes Of people.
Organized religion has
failed miserably in helping
the alcoholic. A non-alcoholic
minister who is confronted
with the sick alcoholic will
usually tell you that he is
helpless to know what to do.
Not too many years ago I
had my minister talk to a
group of alcoholics in our
meetings about Alcoholics
Anonymous in the Municipal
Court. He told me that he left
there with his spirits lifted
and the following Sunday he
told the congregation that
they in A. A. were actually
doing what the churches were
talking about doing.
In addition, let me say that
there are many and varied
reasons which lead individ-
uals to become alcoholics. But
even though every reason
could be enumerated, they
would have very little value
the only thing that has
any intrinsic value is If a
persons life has become un-
manageable as the result Of
alcohol, he wants to do some
thing constructive about it. If
not, there is no power under
heaven that can help him.

PARIS.

Axt40s
Fifty million Frenchmen
could be wrong. but for a
country which may be trem-
bling on the brink Of revolu-
ton France today is singu-
larly unperturbed. While the
autumn air is filled with
talk Of plots and counter
plots against the regime of
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, the
average Frenchman seems
rather more concerned with
getting on with his Christ
mas shopping and laying in
provisions against nothing
more ominous than the holi-
day season.
Gen. de Gaulle arrived today
IN Algeria. For weeks there
has been speculation that his
arrival would be the signal for
another armed revolt of the
European community there
against his program for set
tlement Of the Algerian war.
The excitement has been in
creased by a call for a general
strike in Algiers and the
flight to Spain of Pierre La
gaillarde who led the abor-
tive settlers rebellion last
January. The fact that Mr..
Lagaillarde and four of his
fellow conspirators skipped
out of a trial that seemed to
be going well for them-and
thereby gravely compromised
themselves in the eyes of even
their staunch supporters-has
encouraged the belief that
decisive events are afoot.
The cryptic comments of
Mr.. Lagaillarde's own lawyer
about his flight have done
nothing to quiet the specu-
lation. Defense attorney
Jean Louis Tixier Vignan-
court announced dramatically
on his return from a
visit to M. Lagaillarde in
Madrid that his client did
not leave France on his own
initiative" ;" The whole thing,
he said. would be clear "in
q few days"
In any event, one is told
confidently, a revolt at this
point would have to conform
to q strict timetable. No one,
1t seems. would dream of
starting a serious revolution
in France between Christmas
and New Years Day. After
January 8, when Gen. de
Gaulle has scheduled his
referendum on Algeria, it
would be too late. The criti-
cal time. therefore, is either
during Gen. de Gaulle's cur
rent trip or the first week in
January.
Too Much MelOdrama

Is almost too much melo-
drama in the present situa-
tion-and too much talk as

Mules Will Druw
New Packet Boot
On C&O CunuI

A new mule -poWered packet
boat will be plying the murky
waters of the Chesapeake &
Ohio canal next spring.
Designed to look like the
boats used on the canal when
it was an important freight
waterway in the 1905, the new
boat will replace the present
at-bottom barge now used for
sightseeing excursions on the
canal.
The new barge will be rs
feet long, with a superstructure
built along the same lines as
the old canal barges. It will
carry 1875 passengers on the s.
mile excursions which leave
from Georgetown.
The present barge is only 40
feet long and has space for only
80 passengers.
Robert Mccarthy, director OF
park activities for Government
Services. Inc, which operates
the sightseeing trips, said there
will be a snack bar and other
conveniences aboard the new
packet boat.
It will operate from May
through October on Saturdays
and Sundays. Wednesday eve

June to August.
