Red China, we learn, stands
alone in applauding Russia S
move to resume nuclear
bomb testing. 1t is under
Standable. The sooner she
sees the white race destroy
itself. the better. The sooner
she sees Russia immobilized
or noticably weakened, the
better for her countless mil
lions to move in on Siberia.
Khrushchev so far has
been grudgingly considered
one of the worlds shrewdest
and most astute politicians.
Seldom, we thought, did he
ever miscalculate the men
talities of large and espe-
cially small countries. His ILL
concealed contempt for his
on-lookers abroad has been
eXemplified more than once.
For example. making head
lines with Soviet science may
make nations pop their eyes
like children watching circus
exploits. Offering peace and
plenty with military strings
attached may we'll attract
the attention of those in
want. But when he threatens
to blow up the world with
available know-how, he is
forgetting that both literate
and even illiterate masses
have an innate sense of de-
cency and senSitivity that re-
volts at such a pathetic dis
play of coarseness and bru-
tality.
Someone once noted that
one of the lessons of history
is that no one learns from
history. In particular, when
a man rises from the depths
and assumes power, he has
seldom, if ever, failed to use
that power, even if it was
nothing more than just to
taste the glory of destruction
for the moment. Whether it
be Hitler, Mussolini, Ma
poleon or another with a
goth Century name, the
world will suffer. This time
he is called Khrushchev. We
are hearing the repercussions
Of his -thumping at the
United Nations. For there
has never been an inven-
ton to perfect the science of
destruction that has not been
used on mankind. And Khru-
shchev may be next in line to
experiment.
Mr.. Kennedy, by contrast,
stands out as the worlds ex-
ample of calmness, coolness
and character in this terrible
crisis. His example should
call the attention of the rest
of the world to the fallacy of
confusing the past applause
for Russian pyrotechnics
with the mature and con-
Structive national and inter-

President Franklin D.
Roosevelt during his first
four years in the White House
rode high, wide and hand
some. His leadership in Con-
greSs was virtually unchal-
lenged. He was reelected in
1885. losing only two States
to Alfred M. Landon, his Re-
publican opponent, and re-
ceiving a plurality of the
popular vote over Mr.. Landon
of IL million votes.
Despite his big Democratic
majoritieS in the new Con-
gress, Mr.. Roosevelt in early
1887 received his first big
check-when he tried to put
through a bill permitting him
to pack the Supreme Court
with New Deal supporters.
Then and there conservative
Democrats-not all from the
South by any means-and
Republicans Joined forces to
defeat Mr.. Roosevelt in this
effort for executive control
Of the judicial branch of the
Government.
Two Setbacks for Kennedy
President John F. Kennedy,
in office for a little more
than seven months, had re-
markable success with his
programs in Congress until
he sought to- ride over a
cherished prerogative of Con-
gress-indeed a constitution
al right-which is the con-
troll Of the public purse. He
asked Congress to give him
the authority to borrow
directly from the Treasury of
the United States to conduct
a five-year, $8.8 billion prog
ram of development loans as
part of our foreign aid. He
received a stunning check
and a rude denial from the
House of Representatives,
which, though it gave him
the authorization to conduct
a five-year program, declined
fatty to relinquish its con-
troll of the purse. It insisted
that Congress would have to
make annual appropriations
for this program. Yet in this
87th Congress, the Demo-
Gratis outnumber the House
Republicans by more than 10
votes, and in the Senate the
count is IS to 35 in favor
OF the Democrats.
The President and his aides
exerted the utmost pressure
threats and cajolery-to
obtain the necessary votes to
obtain this borrowing power.
He succeeded in the Senate,
although there the Dirksen
amendment giving Congress
the right of vetoing larger
borrowings for specific loans
was written into the bill. The
House, however, would have
none Of 1t. BY an unexpect-
edly large majority, it turned
the Kennedy proposal down
flat.
The White House put the
best face it could on the out
come of this tuSsle with Con-
gresS, declaring the bill
satisfactory" to the Presi-
dent, because it does permit
long range planning and
authorizations. The Jolt,
nevertheless, was there
showing that the old coali-
tion still can work to check
the Executive when Congress
deems the President is over
stepping his bounds.

For SurYiYoLIs Sake

hegarQleSS OF the nature OF his
reply, which promises at the moment to
be altogether negative, Nikita Khru-
Shchev has been put on the defensive
by the Kennedy Macmillan message ex-
horting him to reverse himself and agree
Immediately to ban on all above ground
luclear tests in the earth'S atmosphere.
Certainly, to that extent at least, the
West seems clearly to have scored some
rather important points in the field of
international propaganda-the so-called
battle for mems minds.
The Kremlin, at any rate, by
suddenly reSuming these tests with an
announcement couched in menacing
language), has revived among peoples
everywhere the sometimes unreaSoning
fear of th-endangering radioactive
fallout. In many respects, despite
alarmiSt talk to the contrary, this is a
quite exaggerated and unwarranted
fear. But it exists nonetheleSs, and Mr..
KhruShchev and his colleagues are
stuck with it at the moment as a result
of their decision to stage a series of
atmospheric detonationS, the second of
which has just taken place.
l. In the circumstances, President
Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan
are to be commended for the speed in
which they have called upon the Soviet
Premier to stop these tests at once and
join the United States and Britain in
formal three-power agreement Ito be
signed within the week. outlaWing all
such atomic-hydrogen experimentation.
incidentally, at least from the stand
point Of propaganda, they have been
particularly effective in emphasizing
that no special detecting or policing
operations would be necessary in con-
nection with the proposed atmospheric
ban-an emphasis we'll designed to
Sfatter the KremlinS absurd prop
aganda about how the West wants in
Spectional safeguards only for purposes
of espionage.
1t is noteworthy, moreover, that the
Kennedy-M Macmillan proposal is limited
solely to atmospheric shots. The pro-
poSal thus implicitly suggests that the
principal powers concerned, while aban-
doning the above-ground explosions

safely conduct experiments under the
ground and in outer space-experiment
that are almost impossible to police
right now, but have no radioactive
reaction of any consequence to the
genetic health of the human race In
fact, in April of 1859, President Eisen-
hover made comparable proposal in
a letter to Mr.. KhruShchev, and it
obviously remains sound enough to
merit the most serious consideration.
This is so for two reasons above all:
Q1 There is no effective way, at present,
ofguarding against clandeStine under
ground or outer-Space shots, and (2) the
United States, since the Russians might
easily have been cheating in this field
ever since the no-testing moratorium
was proclaimed nearly three years
ago, owes it to itself to stop being
naively trustful and to resume non
communicating tests designed for it's
own survival. The fundamental law of
sef-preservation, it seems to us, de-
mands that our country follow such a
course with the least possible delay.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Kennedy's Rebuffs by Congress
By GOULD LINCOLN

A second major defeat for
President Kennedy in this
first session of the 87th Con-
greSS (expected to end some
time this month"; is the fail
ure to get favorable action on
a public education bill carry
ing a program of school con-
struction and payments to
teachers from Federal funds,
approaching $2.5 billion in
cost. This has happened not
withStanding a successful
packing" of the important
House Rules Committee,
sought by the President in
order to make favorable ac-
ton more certain on his
must" bills.
The packing Of the COM
mittee was brought about by
the addition of Democrats
favorable to the New Frontier
program, advanced by Mr..
Kennedy. The Rules Com
mittee, as newly constituted,
was to have overridden Rep
reSentative Howard Smith of
Virginia, the conservative
Democratic chairman of the
Rules Com mittee, other
Democratic conservatives and
the Republican members of
the committee. To obtain
floor consideration by the
House, a bill must receive a
rule" from this committee,
under usual conditions. The
Rules Committee, however,
voted down a special rule for
the school bill, and voted to
lay that bill on the table,
which effectively killed &C
ton on the measure for this
session. Nor has a modified
bill had any luck so far. Mr..
Kennedy has said.he will try
again to get this measure
adopted in the second session
of Congress.
The Presidents Prestige
How much have these de-
featS on Capitol Hill reduced
the prestige of the President
as a leader? It's difficult
to estimate. The late Presi-
dent Roosevelt, after his
black eye over the Supreme
Court bill, was elected to
third and fourth terms in
the White House. He was
aided in both elections by
the world war situations.
Furthermore, he was in a
different position from that
Of President Kennedy, for he
had won the White House by
huge popular and electoral
vote majoritieS over his OPP
ponentS.
Mr.. Kennedy Squeaked
through to victory over for
mer Vice President Nixon
with a popular vote lead of
only 288,540 votes in a total
of some "a million. Indeed,
when the votes of all oppos-
ing candidates are combined.
Mr.. Kennedy is a minority"
President.
He has failed to deliver, so
far, on some Of his campaign
pledgeS-one of which was to
increase the prestige of the
United States abroad. He
may be faced eventually with
the need for increasing taxes.
But in the final analysis, he
may be Saved-for another
term in the White House
by an international situation
caused by war or the imme-
diate threat of war.

Gov. ]. Willard Tawes has straddled the fence
again-this time on the touchy subject of racial dis
elimination.
A few days ago, he was asked for his position

rants hotels and other places Of public accommoda-
tion
Here was an opportunity for the chief executive of
the Free State of Maryland to make clear unequi-
vocal statement issue that the State Department
of the United States claims is of vital Importance to
our nation in its relation with foreign countries.
The subject is admittedly controversial. There are
strong feelings both sides. But it is an issue which
must be resolved way the other; and it is the
Governors duty, the head of the State to tell the
citizens how he plans to resolve it. This is the kind of
leadership which the people expect and deserve.
Unfortunately for Maryland, Governor Tawes just
doesn't have it. His only reply that he intends
to wait and what happens to legislation under con-
sderation before the Legislative Council.
We might just as well not have governor. It is
obvious that Mr. Tawes is determined not only to
equivocate but to ignore what governor is obligated
to do-to provide leadership.
Small wonder that Mr.. Tawes has been compared
by his opponents to gray mouse of man. Small
wonder that the voters fed up with his ndecsion
and lack Of vgor his hesitancy and coyness his failure
to bring distinction to state which is proud of its
heritage.
