In the column, "Exclu-

read with interest the COM
parison of President Ken
nedy's inaugural address with
the speech of Henry w upon
the Battle Of Agincourt. The
voice from the tomb must
have been a bit startling
and perhaps it was that ". .

teresting to learn from the
same source that Sir Laur-
ence Olivier portrayed Henry

court and Olivier made the
motion picture of that name.
Also the quotation Romeo,

of 1858 million, largest since 1851, as
compared with surplus of $143 million
in the preceding year. AS an added
weapon available for use against both
of these trends, he proposed discre-
tionary Treasury authority to raise or
lower within 10 per cent range
customs duties, excise levieS and sales
taxes.
1t seems not amiSS to relate Mr..
Lloyd'S bruSque budget proposals with
his party'S political fortunes. It was
in 1851 that the Conservatives returned
to full power, and this decade of one
party supremacy has not been matched
since the turn of the century. With
their Labor Party opposition currently
engaged in factional strife, Conserva-
tiveS strengthened their overall politi-
cal position during the past week end by
picking up nearly 200 seats in county
council elections throughout England
and Wales while the Liberal Party gained
score and the LaboriteS lost heavily.

To Protect the Victims

Several days ago man and his wife
were sent to Casualty Hospital with
severe injuries received when their new
car was virtually demolished by speed
ing auto driven by youth whose permit
had been revoked and who carried no
insurance to pay for the physical
injuries and property damage he had
caused. To make matters worse for the
victims, the youths car and other per-
sonal property were in process Of being
repossessed by creditors. The couple
will not be able to recover any part of
their loss.
This collision occurred almost CO.
incidentally with the introduction by
Senator Bible Of Nevada of bill urged
by the District Commissioners to protect
the victims of such accidents from losses
inflicted by uninsured motorists. The
accident referred to was not dreamed
up for the purposes of this editorial. 1t
really happened. And similar collisions
resulting from irresponsible driving by
financially irresponsible persons occur
frequently here.
It is to meet the problem of the
uninsured driver that the Commission
ers have proposed a local law similar
to the laws prevailing in most of the
States. Under this legislation, $40
additional fee would be imposed on every
motorist for registration Of car not
carrying liability insurance. The assess
ment would go into fund from which
to reimburse victims of uninsured driv-
ers in cases in which court held the
latter liable for damages. The accused
drivers permit would be suspended until
he had repaid the amount of the judg-
ment against him and had obtained
liability insurance. This permit-SuSpen-
sion proviso would not be new. A like
provision is contained in the Districts
Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility
Act of 1885. The new part Of the law
would be the creation Of the fund to
recompenSe victims of uninsured drivers.
The Commissioners are right in
holding that the District should get in
line with other Jurisdictions in protect
ing the public against the cost of
medical expenses and property damage
caused by motorists who have neither
insurance nor other means of recon-
pense. We hope Congress will speed the
necessary legislation to early passage.

Folly of NeutroIism

Our world is divided into
two hostile camps, with many
hopeful "neutralS," oblivious
Of the fact that were it not
for q power deterrent force,
they could not be neutral. All
would have been Subverted
into the Soviet camp. 1t is
difficult to understand how
people and nations can be
so duped as to disregard the
national tragedies in the
wake Of this communism.
They must see that "neu-
trality" merely enables the
Soviet bosses to infiltrate
their trained agents who stir
up discomfort on which COM
munism thrives by turning it
into subversion. This in turn
sweeps the "neutrals" into the
dark shadow Of communism!
How do neutral leaders re-
gard the tragedies inflicted
upon many nations by the
stealthy advance of this total
itarianism Stemming from
Moscow? The slaughter Of
countless victims? The en-
slavement (if not of body,
then of mind and souD of
millions? And now it has
reared its ugly head in Cuba.
endangering the whole of
Latin America.
Here the Soviet agents are
at work day and night sub
verting the minds Of our
youth in our schools, foment-
ing revolution to subvert
nations into the Soviet
sphere. How can truly in
terested leaders Of the people
be so blind to these cruel
facts as to continue in their
suspicion Of the one power
that seeks to save them from
this disaster?
Our President has taken a
stand that should rally every
nation that regards with IA
vor its own safety to the sup
port Of our Government
against the spread Of this
plague Of the Soviet system! +!
What if these Soviets, de-
votees Of Grass materialism,
have put a man into space
ahead Of us? 1t should be
recalled that they were able
to make this advance on
stolen scientific secrets, and
that their whole system is
built on deceit and blind
force, which all honest men
should reject.
Therefore, this appeal is
made to all who yet love
freedom to rally to the sup
port Of this great power, the
United States Of America,
which having won its own
freedom, desires freedom and
liberty for all men.

Wheels Within Wheels

A recent ruling by the National
Labor Relations Board has directed new
attention at an ironic and somewhat
embarrassing conflict within the ranks
of organized labor The conflict is, in
short, between union management" and
its own employees, with the latter in an
increasing number of cases turning to
the formation of internal unions" for
purposes of collective bargaining with
the unions by which they are employed.
The practice has spread slowly during
the past several years, usually ac-
companied by bitterly emotional objec-
ton on the part of the employer unions
hurt and diSilluSioned in the fashion
of parents" that their own employees
should be "ganging up" against them.
In this instance, the principle has
been upheld specifically in unanimous
NLRB ruling that business agents and
organizers for the International Ladies
Garment workers have the right to
form their own union for bargaining
with the nGW on wages and working
conditions. The board will supervise
an election to determine If the new
internal union, the Federation of Union
Representatives, has majority support.
If it does, the management" of the
ILGW, itself one Of the most paternal-
iStic of the old-line unions, will be
ordered to bargain within its own
family.
And just as one step so often leads
to another, the board ruling in this
case has been followed quickly by the
formation Of an Advisory Council Of
Representatives Unions, an external
grouping Of already existent internal
unions, to help organize other internal
unions. A council spokesman explains
that 1--WE do not intend to do anything
to harm the American labor movement,
but we do not feel that we should be
denied the right to organize and bargain
collectively"
On the surface, at least, the issue
in the ILGW case is primarily the simple
one Of wages, as leaders of the internal
union movement complain of the $65
weekly pay scale and Scof at the con-
tention that they are managerial"
employees. Behind all this, however,
are other possible questions. Is the
old-faShioned spirit Of dedication to
unioniSn becoming diluted, either
among the older generation in union
management or the younger generation
in union employment? Has "big
unionism" taken on the papa-knowS-
best philosophy, which it so often
derided in "big business" to the point
of not properly taking care Of its own
employees? How far and how deep will
labor's intra-family differences spread,
and with what effect on the national
economic structure as whole2

ReWords-for Results

Britain'S Conservative Government,
simultaneously with establishing goth
century record of continuity in office,
has submitted to Parliament a budget
designed to strengthen the nations
competitive position in world trade.
On its face, it is budget in surplus
estimating expenditures for the fiscal
year beginning on April at $16.8 billion
with revenues of $182 billion. Offside,
however, are capital expenditures -
mostly in loans to nationalized indus
tries and to local authorities (an
Anglicized version of "backdoor spend
ing') that would throw it on the deficit
side by little less than 5000 million.
BY either way of figuring 1t is budget
showing more "fat" than that Of the
fiscal year just ended, when there was
a surplus without allowance for capital
expenditures of about $400 million and
a deficit otherwise of $1.1 billion.
It is on the revenue side that Con-
Servative Chancellor of EXchequer
Selwyn Lloyd took his most confident
position. Announcing that the surtaX
on individual incomes would henceforth
start at $1,000 instead Of $500, Mr..
Lloyd explained: 81 aim to give higher
rewards for individual initiative and
enterprise" On the industry side, as an
undisguised encouragement to increased
automation, to the modernization of
plants and facilities and, finally, to
greater net production per employe, Mr..
Lloyd announced "head tax" to be
paid by employers, of about 56 cents per
week on each worker.
In presenting his budget, Mr.. Lloyd
pulled no punches about his principal
mountaineering consumer demand

~fessure, and balance-of- f-trade deficit

FROM THE STAR FILES.
100 Years Ago
NJ. H. Raitt

The panic-b u ton had
Washington buzzing madly a
century ago. 1t was feared
the Confederates might at
tempt to take the city in one
bold stroke. Troops in butter
nut homespun were on the
move in Virginia, which
hadn't seeded officially, but
was considered part of the
Confederacy. The Star re-
ported on April 19, 1861: 1--WE

errand was to take the Har-

tually a small Federal gar
rison set fire to the armory
and abandoned it before the
pending asSault.) Blue-clad
soldiers started filtering into
Washin gton. Some were
posted around the White
House. The Star said: 81. &.
A guard of sixty oc-
cupied the East Room and
slept upon their arms last
night. Late in the evening,
the President attempted to
enter the East Room, but as
the sentinel at the door had

Mr.. Lincoln was forced to

Criticizing the abilities Of
youth (and therefore the
Peace Corps) now is akin
to kicking q sacred COW. But

this age elite and my service

ganization, the Young Repub-
lican National Federation.
permit me to tread this
sacred ground.
In more than a dozen
countries I have visited, clean
food and living conditions
are essential even to the sea-
soned traveller and diplomat.
In such civilized nations as
Italy, France and Mexico,
even Americans staying at the
best hotels suffer severe in
teStinal troubles. To minimize
attacks of same, wine and
bottled water are prescribed.
Fresh fruits and vegetables
must be passed UP. Strict
adherence to these dietary
rules is essential for people
who have lived only in Amer
lea where such conditions are
taken for granted.
But the Peace Corps
avowed purpose is to put our
young crusaders into the
same living conditions as the
natives. Will our crusaders
disregard these forbidden
foods and drinks, suffering
the consequences? Or will
they insult the native popula-
ton by sticking to American
diets?"
On a train in Italy I dined
with a friendly Italian. When
he asked why I refused some
fresh salad, I explained my
body was not used to the
bacteria and germs on the
food. He was incensed that
a guest in his country
thought the food was dirty
and refused to eat 1t. Had I
been a Peace Corps crusader,
! would have eaten and Suf-
fered the consequences.
But the purpose Of this
letter is not to kick our
sacred COW, the Peace Corps.
1t is only to request President
Kennedy and his brother-in-
law to take a sober look at
the practical side of our goth
Century Youth Crusade.

Analyses for McGM

Ralph McGill linked a
threat Of Secretary Freeman
to one of "the findings re-
ported in the remarkably can
did election analysis released
by the Republican National
Committee"
The Secretary said that
farmers had better agree to
an acreage cut and to a 81 20
support price. If they did not.
city Congressman who had
supported the bill would "de-
eide that nothing can be
done" Mr.. McGill implies
that city congressman are
tired of paying subsidies for
unlimited production. They
may refuse loans or supports
or turn farmers Of feed-grain
oIlCo Jne open market.
What does this have to do
with ''the one surprise in the
Republican election report
the unexpected Democratic
vote in the suburbs-presum-
ably in those of the 26 out
of 40 largest cities in the
country where Kennedy won?
Suburban voters behaved
in this strange way from al
truism. They objected to
paying for farm subsidies only
because the small farmer was
not getting the help he
needed. They were free to
show their close political
identity with their metropoli-
tan neighbors" because mo
grip of city machines" had
reached them. It was only
Republicans who were in the
grip of city machines!
Mr.. McGill avoided men,
tioning machines that are
destroying the family farm;
initiation that is raising the
prices of food, and the small
number of votes that decided
the narrowest election of this
century. He has no sense of
accuracy or pride as a news
analyzer.
