Evil Seen in Costro's Valuation
Of Humanity in Tractor Deal

And the answer is, ut all
depends"
Fidel Castro says a life is
worth a tractor or a bull
dozer.
Adolf Hitler, directing
Adolf Eichmann, the mur-
der expert, authorized him
to exchange the lives of
100000 Hungarian refugees
for 10000 trucks. Castro,
Eichmann and Hitler thus
set up their own ratings of
life-valueS.
None gives any considera-
ton to morality.
A murderer holds life
cheap. Hold-up men have
killed for pennies. Gangsters,
adult and juvenile, have
taken life with utter callouS-
ness, for revenge.
These we can understand.
Now we have values eStab-
ished by dictators. They
should not shock us too
much. They very we'll reflect
the morality and philosophy
Of those who proclaimed the
values.
A human life is worth a
tractor or a truck. Or, in case
Of real need, a bargain will
be struck. Several lives will
be exchanged for a bulldozer.
An American committee
has been formed to pay this
price. All efforts should be
made to extend membership
to include Latin-American
countries. Here is a need
and an opportunity to have
these tractors and bulldozers
paid for not merely with dol
lars, but with the currency
Of Latin nations as well.

1t would be easy to con-
clude that the remarkable
showing made by John G..
Tower, Republican, against
Senator william A. Blakley,
Democrat, in Saturdays elec-
ton in Texas amounted to a
reputation of the Kennedy
administration.
But, although this sena-
torial election occurred seven
months after the presidential
election and hence a change
in political complexion so
soon was bound to be re-
garded as sensational, the
truth is that, as in so many
special or off-year elections,
the campaign issues were 10
cal rather than national.
Here are some facts that
bear it out:
I. John Tower, Republican,
got more votes last autumn
when he ran against Lyndon
johnson than both the Re-
publican and Democratic can
didates together received last
Saturday.
2. Richard Nixon, Repub-
lican presidential nominee,
polled last autumn in Texas
1,121,838 votes, which ex-
ceedS by more than 100000
the votes obtained by the two
senatorial candidates COM
bined in this election.
3. Only about 40 per cent
of the total vote polled in
Texas in the last presiden-
tial election participated this
time.
Many voters undoubtedly
said: "A plague on both your
houses! " Why? Perhaps, to
some extent, because both
candidates were conserva-
tives, and this gave the non-
conservatives no preference.
Also, both nominees thistime
attacked causes that were
favored by large numbers of
Texans. In regions where the
administrations agricultural
program, for instance, was
being strongly urged by the

evil quality in Castro'S val
ues of life. Unless it is
countered by peoples whose
ethics and humanity make it
plain that human life is not
merely itself a piece Of ma
chinery to be exchanged for
another piece Of equipment,
it will be accepted merely
as a cynical piece Of business.
If Castro'S move is permit
ted to progress merely as q
hilarious joke on the peoples
of the United States, it will
catch on all over the South
ern Hemisphere.
There is an opportunity to
make clear Castro's values.
He brushes aside the Red
Cross. He will not permit
this international organiza-
ton to inspect the jails or
talk with the prisoners.
When he was the rebel lead
er seeking to drive out Ba-
tista he, Castro, repeatedly
sought the help Of the Red
Cross. His men, as prison.
ers had a value. Now that
the men in prisons are his
opposition, their lives are
worth merely a tractor.
There are a number of
worthwhile, useful lives in
Castro's prisons. Many of
them are men who were with
him in the mountains. They
believed in his revolution.
They knew Batista had to be
driven out and a genuine re-
form inaugurated. There are
editors, students. doctors.
lawyers. and businessmen in
prison whom Castro would
now exchange for a piece of
machinery. They left him

which created a terror equal
to Batista's. 1t refilled the
prisons so recently emptied.
Intellectuals of Latin Amer
lea, whose universities were
built when what now is the
United States was a bowling
wilderness. should be given
opportunity to join in a re-
buke to Castro's estimate of
the value of a human life.
There are accusing voices
speaking to us out of the past
recent and ancient. Eich-
mann Is a symbol. The mind
can hardly accept the fact
that this man, who once was
willing to barter human life
for trucks when the German
army was badly in need Of
them, directed the killing Of
more than six million per-
sons, Jews, Balts and Poles.
Tamerlane's cruelty knew
no bounds. He once massa-
cred 100000 men, had them
beheaded. and the skulls
stacked in a huge pyramid.
The barter and ransoming of
prisoners is an old story of
the years when men classified
as uncivilized barbarians,
lacking in values, were
marching at heads Of con-
quering armies.
Men and women have been
killed and ransomed in re-
ligiouS wars. In our own
time we have known human
slavery.
Eichmann, and now Castro,
with their estimates of the
value of a human life, make
it necessary that we, in the
last half of the Goth Cen
tury. mobilize all possible sup
port from all the nations of
America to ransom the lives
Of CaStro's prisoners, and
thereby call attention to the
meaning and dignity of life
and Of human values.

Democratic leaders called to-

Republican political attacks un-
til President Kennedy has
talked with Soviet Premier
Khrushchev in Vienna.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mansfield Of Montana urged
a truce to suspend at least
temporarily the kind of for
eign policy blasts at the Presi-
dent with which the G. o. P.
kept the political battle rever-
berating over the week end.
This is not the time, with the
Khrushchev talks approaching,
for anyone to become political
or partisan in the foreign pol
icy field" Senator Mansfield
said. Rather it is the time
for all Americans to come to
the aid and support of their

Senator Humphrey of Mime

leader, said in a separate in
terview he recognizes the Re-
publicans' right to criticize for
eign policy decisions. He said
he thinks, however, the country
would benefit by a little more
unity behind the President as
