Commission in the process
of planting trees and/or
improving timber stands.
What are service charges?
. a service charge Is the sum
IN excess of development

to establish the necessary
reserve funds as required
by law

repay funds which the
Forestry Commission spends
in developing his timber
land?

er periods are authorized,
service charges must be
paid at least annually. how
ever.
Does the landowner send
his repaYments to the For
estrY Commission?
No. The Forestry Com
mission is concerned only
with timber and timber
management; it is not set
up to act as a collection
agency for the Forestry
Bank, IN all matters in
volving funds. and repay
ment, landowners will deal
directly with the Forestry
Bank, or with a conven-
tional financial agency
whenever a local source
provides development costs.
How long does a landowner
have to repay development
costs?
il. Each application will be
handled on an Individual
basis, but the period of re-
payment cannot be more
than 20 years.

stirred by the spy revelations in the
London court. Certainly the necessity
has clearly been shown for continued
vigilance against the persistent efforts
Of the Reds to steal our military secrets,

convict the spies after the secrets have

chink at Best

It is interesting, though perhaps
not at all significant, that the Kremlin
has done away with censorship on out
going news. This means that foreign
correspondents will not have to seek an
imprimatur of sorts before transmitting
their stories to overseas outlets; they
will not be subject, that is, to the advance
approval or disapproval Of Communist
bureaucrats (party-line hacks) en-
powered to edit the heart out of certain
types Of reports, or to suppress them
entirely.
AS far as it goes, this is ''liberaliz-
ing" development that the free world
has reason to welcome. Still, en-
couraging though 1t may be, the thing
must be taken with grain Of salt.
After all, twice before Tin Stains day,
in 1889 and 1946), there was similar
lifting of Soviet restraints on the out
flow Of news, but in both instances the
relaxation was exceedingly shortlived,
and the censor got back to work not
only in great hurry, but with venge-
ance. Needless to say, the Communist
system being what 1t is, the same sort
OF about-face, the same sudden re-
versal Of policy, could happen again In
Moscow within a. matter of weeks.
Moreover. lest anybody be tempted
to overrate this latest Soviet move in
the field OF censorship, the fact should
be emphasized that the liberalization
involved carries with it an implied
warning to all foreign newsmen in the
USSR that they will be held accountable
for the transmission of any reports that
strike the Kremlin as being incorrect"
or otherwise displeasing. In short, II. a
correspondent transmits a story (no
matter how accurately that conflicts with
the party line, he will be exposing him
self to immediate expulsion from the
USSR.
So the Kremlin's strictly limited
retreat from censorship hardly warrants
q lot of hoopla. At best 1t constitutes
only small chink in the Iron Curtain.
Certainly, as far as incoming news is
concerned, as far as untrammeled
contact and communication with the
free world are concerned, the Russian
people are still being kept in the dark.
And this will continue to be the case,
as our State Department has noted, as
long as Moscow keeps on jamming our
radio broadcasts, and bars such other
things as the normal distribution of
newspapers, magazines, books and Aims
from our own and other non-Com-
munist lands.

Spy Cases United Ends

Conviction by London jury Of two
trusted British naval clerks and three
foreigners on spy charges leaves iln-.
answered what Chief Justice Sir Hubert
Lister Parker called "the number of
ends which are left united" in the sensa-
tional case. Although the justice
cautioned the Jury against speculating
about these "ends," the public, here as
well as in Great Britain, has cause to
speculate and to be concerned. For
while the testimony revealed that secret
drawings of one of Americas newest
atomic submarines were transmitted to
Moscow and certain other military
intelligence was obtained by Russian
agents., much of the evidence against
the five was withheld for security
reasons.
The blueprints of one Of our nuclear
submarines had been lent to the British
Navy in connection with their research
and development work In that field.
Apparently security precautions at the
naval research station were inadequate,

BUDGET Politics

The fact, now affirmed by the White
House, that fiscal 1861 and 1862 will end
on the budget books as deficit years
hardly qualities as one of the major sur
prises Of our time.
Almost from the day that the Eisen-
hover administration presented, in jan
uary, 1860, its estimate Of q $4.2-billion
surplus for the twelve months ending
this next June 80, the course of events
has been running hard In q contrary
direction. When the high promise Of
spectacular prosperity from that first
month Of the new decade failed to
materialize, budget trouble clearly was
ahead. Federal revenues declined below
estimated levels. expenditures went up
and Congress failed, as expected, to
follow certain revenue-raising recon-
mendations. The slim surplus Of $40
million mentioned last January was
much more hope than a likelihood.
President Kennedy now calculates that
the 1851 totals will show deficit Of $2.2
billion.
To some extent, the Eisenhower
forecast Of a $1.5-billion surplus for
fiscal 1862, submitted just before he left
office last January, is suffering from the
same forces. Once again it appears that
business activity, even though 1t may
turn upward in the near future, win not
account for revenues as estimated and
that Congress will hold to its stubborn
disinclination to help the budget makers
by raising such charges as postal rates.
In addition, regardless Of how President
Kennedy attempts to rationalize the
spending side Of his social welfare
measures-or to divert attention by the
unusual technique Of dividing the
budget itself into defense and non
defense chapters-the spending itself
will increase. SO Mr.. Kennedy foresees
a 1862 deficit beyond the $2-billion
mark.
There Is little purpose, perhaps, in
wringing hands about this particular
exercise in Federal fiscal management.
It was charged by the Democrats last
January that the outgoing Republican
administration was playing politics"
with the budget. It Is charged now by
Republicans that the new Democratic
administration is doing the same thing.
Possibly it would be most surprising If
either charge were baseless. Meanwhile,
Of course, only those who believe In
genuine fiscal prudence Ito which both
parties profess great devotion) need to
feel any concern.

Race for Last Place

As far as the people Of Washington
are concerned, they are as grateful to
the legislatures Of the thirty-six States
which already have ratified our Consti-
tutional amendment as they viii be to
the thirty-seventh and the thirty
eighth, whose favorable action will make
the amendment effective.
Whether Ohio and Kansas win act
before today is over seems to depend on
whether Ohio is willing to act first,
giving Kansas the honor of being the
State that adds the finishing touch. We
hear from Kansas that its legislators are
rather serious about gaining this honor.
This year is the Tooth anniversary Of
Kansas admittance to the Union as q
State. They would like to make final
ratification Of the voting amendment a
part Of the centennial celebration.
We applaud the sentiment which
involves Ohio and Kansas in this
friendly rivalry. But we hope they will
not carry it too far. If Kansas does
become the 38th State to ratify, those
familiar with the long struggle to obtain
favorable action in Congress on the
voting amendment will recall the efforts
Of distinguished KanSan-the late
Senator Arthur Cspper of Topeka. Year
after year he introduced and argued for
somewhat comparable amendment,
giving residents of the District not only
the right to vote for President and Vice
President, but to be represented in
Congress by those of their own choice.
This gentle Kansan did as much as any
former member Of Congress to lay the
groundwork for the amendment which,
perhaps today, Kansas win put into the

Reprieye in Laos

On the basis Of past performance, 1t
may be assumed that RnsSia'S apparent
Endorsement Of the British proposal on
the Laos issue, as reported through
Pravda, means the Kremlin thinks that
Laos, soon or late, will be pulled into the
Communist orbit. And this may prove
20 be the case. Even so, the prospect
= 0f negotiations rather than war in Laos
is one which should be most heartily
welcomed.

1other Western leader, of course, has

shaped exclusively by the Soviet atti-
tude or probable reaction. A major
difficulty has been that there is little
or nothing in the attitude of the Lao
tian authorities or the fighting qualities
Of the army upon which strong West
ern position could be established. The
familiar admonition against building
ones house on sand is very apt in this
case. Another factor has been that the
Communists would enjoy great advan-
tages, both strategically and logistically,
In war in Laos. OF course, If the
Communist push continues, showdown
at some point may well be inevitable.
We could wait long time, however,
without finding worse place for it

There Is a, tangible sense
Of urgency in the White
House. It has not yet been
possible to transmit this to
the country. or for that mat
ter, to the Congress, but that
the Nation is at one Of those
pivotal points in history can
not be denied.
Within the next three to
five years we will either be
at war with the Soviet Union
or we will have attained some
form Of coexistence. In that
same span of time we will
reach some new stage of re-
lationship, better or worse
than we now have with the
massive state Of Commu-
mist China.
Critical Era Ahead
In these challenging, de-
manding months, we will
have succeeded or failed in
our efforts to solve the seri-
Gus problems Of automation
and Of our competitive posi-
ton in world trade. We will
have experienced the jarring
effect Of major economic
shifts. We will have a gross
national product which ex-
pands at q healthy rate, or
we will have q sick one.
These are some of the facts
Of our life which may not
be avoided. Urgency is re-
quired, and it is encouraging
that one encounters this
quality chiefly in the White
House.
In facing these testing
years, one thing already is
very clear. We will need to
learn that planning is neith-
er q dirty nor subversive
word. Long-range blueprintS
are an essential ingredient
of this future into which we
are moving.
Our economy is in for some
adjustments which may be
temporarily painful. The air
craft industry, for example,
will certainly undergo con-
siderable change. The domes-
tic demand for jets will not
be enough to maintain full
employment in an industry

the rare ability Of being able
to entertain new ideas. and
asSociating with people who
generated them.
In a day when all too few
Senators had staffs and let
them have their heads, Jim
Murray welcomed outside
help and knew how to use 1t.
The result was a record which
put him up alongside such
great and long remembered
Senators as George Norris,
Robert Wagner. and the SEN
ior Bob LaFollette. He is
among these men for an
other important reason. He
put his good mind and te-
nacity of will to work on
major issues of public con-
Germ and sought no early or
easy victory.
He and his associates de-
veloped the Full Employ
ment Act Of 1946 all the way
from a nebulous idea to its
enactment into law. Because
Of the prominence given the
pronouncements Of the Pres
ident's Council of Economic
Advisers established under
this law, we now see an ad-
ministration translating into
public policy sound economic
principles concerning fiscal
and monetary practices that
can lead to recovery and
growth of the Nation.
It was Senator Murray
who called in Morris L.
Cooke and a number of US to
shape up the Missouri Valley
Authority proposal, modelled
after the iva. While it
ultimately failed Of passage,
the hearings. writings and
speeches it produced i'm
planted the conservationists'
idea Of the unity Of q river
valley so that no agency Of
government can any longer
ignore all its potentialitieS.
His espousal Of the MVA re-
suited in a quickening Of the
efforts of the Army Engi-
neers and Bureau of Recla-
nation to develop the great
dams on the main stem Of
the Missouri.
Senator Murray's first ven
ture in a broad field Of in
terest was as founding father
Of the Small Business Com
mittee, which was responsible
for the fact that small busi-
ness made such a singular
contribution to the war ef-
fort.

for more than Chalk's orr
ginal cash investment to pur-
chase Capital Transit. A ride
along this route now in one

is enough to slip anyone's

ceased to run, stripped while
the rails were still warm.
