Democratic Senators List Their Gripes,
State by State, for the President
DORIS FLEESON

Dem mocratic National
Chairman Bailey recently in
vited all the Democratic
Senators who are up next
year to come to dinner and
talk over their problems.
They leaped at the chance
from A for Alaska to w for
Washington.
The net of their message
for their President was that
he was not running a Demo-
cratic administration so far
and that unless he started
doing so soon he would face
some unpleasant surprises in
the next Congress. This the
sis was documented State by
State.
The Western guests were
perhaps most vocal, but
there were no dissents from
the views they forcibly ex-
pressed. Mr.. Bailey and the
White House and Congress
sional aides present listened
quietly and promised things
would improve.
The Senators are not mad
at the President personally
or at any Cabinet or agency
heads. AS individuals, they
rate them we'll ahead of the
Eisenhower team. But as pol
iticians, despite the fact that
many have had experience in
elective office, the Kennedy
selections in the executive
branch are charged with
showing neither understand
ing nor any great sympathy
for those who wage the day
by-day battle in the Congress.
Their. complaints are not
much different from those
widely voiced by the EiSen-
hover troops during eight
years. Republicans were
grateful for the. Eisenhower
aura which kept their party
Evening star., 1961-08-16

The first phase of the Ber-
= lin crisis is being won, not
by the monolithic Soviet East,
. but by the still somewhat
divided - and possibly even
: overly-anxious - West.
For IN being forced to
throw barbed wire and armed
troops across the exits west
ward from Communist East
Berlin, the Russians have al
ready created for themselves
another Hungary. Even.
though they have not yet
gunned down civilians in the
streets as they did in Buda-
pest during the Hungarian
uprising, they have thrown
= before the world an unforget-
table picture of the brutal
-ity and bankruptcy of inter-
: national communism.
: Nowhere in all the long
story of totalitarianiSm-not
even in tragic Budapest-has
the fatal weakness of a to-
talitarian system been so in
delibly exposed before man
kind by its own leaders.
To say that the first round
has gone to the West is not
to deny that naked Soviet
power has triumphed to a
point. OF course it has. The
West cannot and will not
, attempt to force open the
sealed border between the
two Berlins. And so If this
were the real point Of the
game, we should have lost
it already. But it is not the
real game, by any means.
Undeniably. the Russians
can keep the border closed
so long as they may choose.
Undeniably, they are likely
to go on to harsher and
harsher measures. Undeni-
ably, the shadow Of war peril
has not lifted; possibly it is
darker yet.
All the same. the capacity
to seal off East Berlin, for a
while or even forever, has no
affirmative value whatever
to the Soviet Union. 1t is a
symbol, not Of confidence,
but of the exact reverse. Any

Fahey, Cyrus Lick, Kenneth John
son and Joseph Margl at his home
and placed in the city Jail.
The remaining juveniles, were
picked up at their homes and
placed in the Woodview Detention
home.
Police state the gang would
cruise the st. Paul streets in an
auto stolen by Steele or an auto
owned by one Of the other boys.
When the unsuspecting female vic
tim was located about two or three
of the boys would get out and
snatch her purse.
The next victim would have her
purse snatched by two or three of
the other boys in the car.
The theft which involved the
most money was the snatching of
the purse of Mrs. Laura Krebs,
S18 Marshall on December 81. She
was about to enter her home
through the back door when two
boys grabbed her purse and fled.
Her loss totaled $500.
This loot was split between the
three boys participating in the
theft.
One juvenile, who spent his new
ly acquired wealth on a $3.50 ring
for his girl friend, did not have a
job and was unaware that he was
under surveillance at the time he
made the purchase.

For Fair Housing

There is need to increase and
strengthen the body of law and
procedure in our state in order
to protect the rights of our citi-
zens in such matters as housing
public accommodations, employ
ment, and education. In the field
of housing, I recommend and urge
the adoption of legislative prohibit
tons as extensive as may be re-
quired to insure fair housing OPP
portunity to all citizens regard
less of race, color, creed or ma
tional origin.
I'VE recognize the value Of mi
grant workers in filling the needs
of productive labor to meet sea-
sonal demands We must make
sure that these workers and their
families are welcomed with dig
nifty and respect in our state and
are assured the same opportuni-
ties for employment, education,
recreation, health and welfare
services as the people OF our state
now enjoy.
The situation facing our Indian
citizens is of major concern. Much
research and study has been given
to this area by our legislative
interim commission on Indian af-
fairs and by our human rights
commission which has proposed a
plan for the improvement of the
well being of Minnesota Indians
in the five-year period ahead I
recommend your earnest considera-
ton of this and other proposals.
THE safeguarding Of the civil
rights of all of our citizens, grant
ing to each equal dignity, and
freedom of opportunity is of the
greatest importance-not only at
home it tells all the world
where we truly stand.

Only Machinery

The profit system, again. is the only
machinery for ensuring economy and good
management in production or in distribu-
ton. To make the production and distribu-
ton OF any commodity as economical as
possible, which is a very proper object in
the interest of the general well-being, the
only way is to put the consumers check
on the producers or distributors. And this
is done only by leaving it to the latter and
to the competition among them to make
profit If they can, and bear the losses If
they make losses.-C. RajacOpalachari.

attack is naturalization, another is exces-

about losses. There are losses as well as
