Kennedy was carrying t he
State over Richard Nixon for

backing also of former Sena-

years powerful figure in the

called social measures. Mr..
Mitchell also is a liberal, an
Eisenhower Republican.
They Exchange Charges
Chairman Erdman was Bit
ter in his attack on Mr..
Mitchell. He declared Mr.
Mitchell was a late conner in
q. o. P. politics, that he had
never been elected to public
office, and that he was dis
ruptlng the Republican Party
IN the State by his line of at
tack on other candidates
meaning, particularly, State
Senator Jones. Mr.. Mitchell
was no less caustic. He
charged that Mr.. Erdman not
only had favored a Jones
nomination, even before he
lMitchelD had announced
but that Mr.. Erdman had
continued to support Senator
Jones. Mr.. Erdman, Mr.
Mitchell said, has outlived
his usefulness.
Former Senator Smith has
announced his firm and con-
tlnued support of Mr.. Mitch
ell, and deploreS the action
OF Chairman Erdman in re-
signing at this time. Mr.,
Smith and Senator Case both
have insisted right along that
the party has its best chance
for victory with Mr.. Mitchell
as its candidate. Mr.. Erdman
was particularly ranked be-
cause Mr.. Mitchell had indi-
Gated in his campaign that
neither Senator Jones nor
Senator Dumont could win.
That's the picture. Not a
pleasant one for the COP.
Before this open row began.
1t looked as though MIR,
Mitchell would surely be the
victor in the primary. Now
1t Is not so sure. Anything
might happen. The Mitchell
supporters hope the rank and
file Republicans will take
their view that he will make
the strongest candidate
against Democrat Hughes,
State Senator. Jones halls
from Bergen County, the
strongest Republican county
in the State. His active sup
port is needed if the Repub-
llcans are to win the election
In November, whether he,
himself, is the party nominee
or Mr.. Mitchell. or Senator
Dumont.

casters Aftermath

AS a participant IN the
Easter Witness for Peace, 1
would like to congratulate
The Star on the full and
responsible manner in which
it reported our vigil in both
the Saturday and Sunday
editions. I must, however.
admit concern over the final
paragraph of your Sunday
article, which stated, apro-
pos of nothing, that several
members of the Witness
planned to tour the Soviet
Embassy on Sunday after
noon. The phrasing Of this
paragraph and it's irrelevance
to the rest of the story left
the impression of a pilgrim
age by the pro-MoScow
faithful. which your qualify
ing remark that 1t was not
IAN official part" Of the
Witness tended only to
heighten.
Actually nothing could be
farther from the truth. A
number of our group had
come some distance to take
part in the vigils for dis
armament and peace, and
the Soviet Embassy was only
one Of the many points Of
interest which they visited,
including the Capitol, White
House, Lincoln Memorial,
and so on. One group even
went in the cold drenching
rain Of Friday evening to
visit the Washington Monu-
ment. Why single out the
Soviet Embassy?
The stigma Of pro-Com-
munist Sympathies is one
that in the interests Of truth
and justice must be removed
from those who in all good
conscience believe that war
and the machines for wag-
ing 1t are an unmitigated
evil; it is entirely un-
deserved. George Fox,
founder Of the Quakers Zone
OF the sponsoring groups OF
the WitneSS) was preaching
pacifism 200 years before the
birth of communism, and
some 1900 years after Jesus
had said. Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall
be called the children of
God"
Norman N. Phelps.
I spent at least half Of a
busy Easter morning with
The Sunday Star ~ part of
that time on articles Qike
Robert Lewis on sidewalk
cafes and Crosby Noyes' on
Laos) that should be in hard
covers. ..
Jack Jonas piece was on
a subject I've wanted to see
covered and hope to. see
more about, and Dabney

Youth Volunteers

I admired your fine story
by George Wilson, concerning
a local neighborhood peace
corps-type activity conduct
ed under the Church Of the
Brethren.
This kind Of volunteer
youth work is good example
OF charity beginning at home.
The spirit Of service is un-
matched and reminds me Of
a description I read recently
Of the Indian poet-philoso-
pher. Tagore's school for
boys:
Inspired by Tagore's liv-
ing example and ethics, many
older boys Of the Bolpur
school deprived themselves
Of the afternoon games and
voluntarily took pains to do
good to their depressed
brothers and sisters. They
would run to the neighboring
villages. where primitive
tribes lived in crudest super
stitions and pitiable unsani-
tary conditions. They would
not hesitate to work hard like
common coolies, even without
pay, to build a cottage for
the unfortunate and poor.
These young Hindu mis-
sionaries from Bolpur did not
go around with an air Of
superiority, nor preach one
form Of religion or decry
others, but with a feeling OF
brotherhood and an unpre-
tentious sense Of equality.
Emotionally disciplined and
face to face with realities Of
life. the young men were not
afraid Of being truly them
selves and acting for the COM
mon good" ."-Helmut G. Calls
"Tagore" Western Human
tiles Review.
A spartan school of long
ago in the Far East, and a
block group of American
youngsters in Washington, D.
c., each striving to help un-
fortunate neighbors to help
themselves: how alike is the
thinking of East and West
where pure humanity is con-
cerned! And I feel sure that
such a deep feeling Of kindli-
ness and neighborlineSs is
strong in the hearts Of most
people in all countries around
the world.
Let's hope that the Ameri-
can Peace Corps and volun-
tary unofficial neighborhood
peace corps will provide a
living inspiration to us all at
home and in lands abroad.

Ckuckdown on Crime

- While the anti-crime legislative
program advocated by Attorney General
Robert Kennedy would put the Federal
government farther into the field Of
law enforcement usually reserved to
the States, the prospect is that local
police authorities would welcome the
Intrusion. For the effect Of the pro-
posed new laws would be to lend a
stronger hand to States and cities In
combating crime. And FBI Director ].
Edgar Hoover, whose agency would lend
theshand, repeatedly has made it plain
that he has no desire to take over local
law, enforcement responsibilities to
buAd up a super-Federal police organi-
zation. ---
AS matter of fact, some Of the
more important measures urged by the
Attorney General would set no pre-
cedents In the Federal-local police
field. They would, however, enlarge the
authority Of the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation In assisting local author
tiles to bring law violatorS to Justice
All Of the reforms would, of course, be
confined to crimes having an interstate
angle. Efforts Of hoodlumS and racke-
teers of many kinds to escape punish
nrent by fleeing across State boundaries
thus would be curbed by Federal action
-, Perhaps the most important pro-
p0sal in the package prepared for con-
greSSional consideration is an amend
ment to the Federal Fugitive Felons
Act that would give the FBI much wider
jurisdiction In catching criminals trying
toI escape prosecution in one State by
fleeing to another Under the present
law, violators Of certain specified State
laws Of major category, such as murder,
robbery and the like may be. sought by
tf1e.FBI and, upon arrest, charged with
the Federal offense of unlawful flight
to avoid prosecution" Local law en-
forcement officers have found this
system of Federal cooperation of great
help Extension of the plan to cover
ali criminals charged in the States with
crimes punishable by more than a
years. imprisonment was recommended
last year by former Attorney General
Rogers and now Mr.. Kennedy has lent
his support to the proposal.
s,i;,, Other legislation, aimed at inter-
state aspects Of crime, would prohibit
travel across State lines by racketeers
In pursuance Of their gambling or other
operations, tighten up on interstate
shipment of firearms, bar use of the tele-
phone or telegraph for betting, outlaw
interstate movements of betting ma
chtnes Gan extension of the slot-ma-
chine transportation ban) and protect
witnesses who cooperate with the
Department Of Justice or any other
Federal agency in crime Investigations.
Noticeably lacking from the legisla-
tive package was any reference to wire
tapping-an omission which may have
been designed to avoid controversy. We
hope, however, that while Congress is
considering new legislation to strengthen
law enforcement 1t will lift the re-
straints which prevent the FBI and
other law enforcement agencies from
making effective use Of wire-tapping in
their war on spies, kidnapers and other
major criminals. A Federal law
authorizing the tapping of wires, under
adequate restrictions, is of even greater
Importance than the measures advo-
Gated by Attorney General Kennedy at
his first press conference.

THE POLITICAL MILL
G. O. P. Fur Flies in New JERSEY
By GOULD LINCOLN

If the Democrats are hav-
ing family troubles in New
York, the Republicans are
seemingly trying to kick their
own applicant to pieces in
nearby New Jersey. With full
knowledge that the election
for Governor in New Jersey
next fall will attract the
keenest attention (as prob
ably the most significant po-
rlitical struggle of this
"off-year") the New jersey
Republicans are now engaged
in cutting each others throats
over the party nomination
for Governor. Eight years ago
the Republicans did the same
thing, and again four years
later.
The Republican State
chairman, Carl r. Erdman,
has just resigned in protest,
as ne says, to the tactics of
one Of the Republican candi-
dates for the gubernatorial
nomination. James P. Mitch
ell, Secretary Of Labor in the
Eisenhower administration.
Mr.. Erdman in his statement
res1gnlng the chairmanship,
said Mr.. Mitchell had been
iamhasting other Republican
candidates for Governor, had
been attacking Republican
Organizations in some of the
counties, and so causing dis
sension. Mr.. Mitchell, reply
ing in kind, has accused
Mr.. Erdman on the ground
he Erdman) favors State
Senator Walter Jones for
the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, has favored Senator
Jones right along, although a
State chairman should be
neutral in a contest for a Re-
publican gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
The Democrats in New Jer-
sey are pleased. They have
selected their own candidate
former Judge Richard J.
HugheS-who will be unop-
posed in the senatorial, pri-
mary which takes place April
l8. Mr. Hughes is a pleasant.
attractive man, not too wide
ly known through the State.
The Republicans believed they
had a good chance to defeat
MIN and so take back the
State administration. Now
they admit, 1t Is going to be
tougher to make the grade.
The G. o. P. Contestants
The result in the election
next November will depend
in large part on the success
the Republicans may have in
binding up party wounds
growing out of the present
primary fight. The three
principal candidates for the
Republican nomination are
Mr.. Mitchell. Senator Jones
and another State Senator.
Wayne Dumont, from South
Jersey. Mr.. Mitchell has the
backing Of Senator Clifford
P. Case, who demonstrated
his own great vote-getting
powers when he was re-elect-
ed last fall with a lead of
more than 100000 votes over
his Democratic opponent,

Dentist on FIuoride

AS a 1860 dental graduate
and as a prospective practic-
ing doctor in the near future,
I offer the following observa-
tions and facts in hope that
more people will think more
intelligently about fluorida-
ton:
The results of millions OF
dollars and decades of con-
trolled experimentation clear
ly point out the effectiveness
Of fluorides in preventing and
reducing the incidence Of
tooth decay when incorpor-
ated into the teeth during
their formation.
The yearly cost to fluori-
date a city water supply is
less than five cents per capita.
There are $4,000 dentists
in this Nation of ITO plus
million people and each year
the doctor-patient ratio be-
comes more diSproportionate.
More and more oral disease
is going unnoticed and un-
treated. The answer to the
problem is not solely to train
more dentists any more than
the cure for cancer lies in
the training of more sur
geons. No medicine is so
good as prevention and al
though fluorides are re-
portedly only 5000 per cent
effective, this, is $3.50 per
cent more prevention than
without fluoridation. In a
Nation of ITO million, each
with a potential of 80 pema-
nent teeth, so per cent be-
comes a clinically staggering
figure.
The dental profession has
within its hand q tested and
highly effective means of
eradicating a tremendous
portion of the disfiguring and
painful effects of tooth de-
cay. When tooth decay in
wolves over 95 per cent of the
population, as it does in the
United States, then the prob
lem ceases to be one of a
personal character and be-
comes a public health con-
Germ which threatens the
overall health of the COM
munity. The community
through traditional demo-
cratic processes is the only
vehicle for direct and con-
structive action.

Incredible News

Your paper has twice pub
lished a report that the ad-
ministrator- designate Of the
National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency, c. Darwin
Stolzenbach, entered into an
agreement with his prospec-
tive deputy, Mr.. Matthews,
giving the latter a veto over
all agency policy decisions
and appointments, even the
appointment Of a personal
assistant to Mr.. Stolzenbach.
We believe that you are
doing the President and the
new agency a grave disservice
by the emphasis you have
given to a mere rumor. Con-
greSs did not set up a two
man commission. 1t set UP an
agency with an administra-
tor and a deputy who shall
perform such duties as the
administrator may from time
to time designate" Under
these circumstances, 1t seems
highly unlikely that such a
crippling arrangement as
you have described would be
tolerated by the President or
by Mr.. Stolzenbach. There
fore, your speculation as to
the reasons underlying Mr..
Matthews departure from
the META. seems incredible.
