have been moderate successes, too,
that have been obscured by the
spectacular failures which made
the headlines.
What have been some of the
mistakes?
To begin with, in our desire for
stability" we, too often, support
ed conservative or extreme right
wing regimes that merely pro-
claimed themselves "anti-C ommun-
ist". Primarily we gave them arms.
Our weapons, however, were rare
ly used against outside Commun-
list aggressors but sometimes they
were used internally to repel ad-
vocates of social and economic re-
form.
One by one these clients" of
ours were toppled from power.
Our intelligence services and mill
tary men were working 80 closely,
however, with the corrupt local
officials that they failed to see
what was happening. Hence they
could do nothing to prevent it.
At the same time the more for
ward-loolxing elements In these
countries watched us. mistakes
with dismay. They got no help
from American officials on the
spot and Washington seemed UNI
responsive to their pleas.
Result: our money and our mill
itarY help went down the drain
when the inevitable overthrow Of
the governments took place.
OF course, 1t Is very easy to
diagnose these disasters after they
take place. Governments, after all,
must deal with governments-or so
we are told.
I would like to suggest that
this may be an outmoded concept
in some areas. II we are right In

State Income
From Beer,
Tobacco Up

RICHMOND, July IL (AP) Z.
.-Virginia's new tobacco tax
and the increase in the beer
levy brought in an additional
$16.5 million from these two
products in the last fiscal
year, a State tax official re-
ported yesterday.
BY contrast, officials have
blamed the 10 per cent tax on
hard liquor for the 13 per cent
or nearly 81 million q month
decline in revenue from this
source.
A. w. HankinS, director of
the State tax departments di-
vision of beverage and tobacco
taxes, pegged the tobacco tax
take for the first year Of op-
Grafton at SAL million.
The increased beer tax
brought in $1O.431, 900, a $2,-
$4,000 increase from the
previous fiscal year.
A final accounting of the
liquor revenue is expected to
show that the States revenue
dipped around $12 million be-
fore the new 10 per cent tax Is
counted.
The 1860 General Assembly
enacted the new tobacco tax
and increased the liquor and
beer taxes as q substitute for
the general retail sales tax pro-
posed by Gov. Almond.

Many Of them" Mr.. Hardy
said, "go just far enough so
they can't be prosecuted. They
are legal tightrope walkers"
He said his office had re-

work promised. Other residents,
he added, had been Sweet

"and we must do so, too. Other
wise, all these shoddy contrac-
tors will converge on Mont

The council responded with
instructions to the county at

The group also gave tenta-

Arlington County recently
agreed to q similar increase in

On still another matter, the

Eean Criticises Administration on Crabmeat Ban

JUNEAU LP Gov. Egan criticized the national administra- ton Friday for what he called negative reasoning" in it's de- cision to lift the 10-year old ban on importation of Russian crab meat.
 The federal government an- nounced the lifting of the ban Monday, explaining there was no evidence at the present time that the Russians were using prison or forced labor to process the crabs.
 Egan sent off letters to Treasury Secretary Dillon and Richard H. Davis, Deputy Assistant Secre- tary of State for European Al fairs, saying he was "once again compelled to register vigor- ous disagreement" with the de- cision.
 ''It would appear to me that this is negative reasoning for suca positive action," Egan sai1.
 Rather than having no evi- dence of such condition, I think the United States should in a matter of this importance re- quire positive, fully documented evidence that no such condition exists in Russia today. I feel that acceptance of mo evidence" in- cates no effort to collect such evidence"
 Egan also took issue with Davis views that the g per cent inn port duty which will be tackled on Russian crabmeat will enable Alaskan crabmeat to compete equally with canned Russian crabmeat.
 Noting that the Treasury De- partment had described the lift ing of the ban as a gesture of goodwill, Egan said:
 q hardly think that the Rus sians would seek an empty ges- ture of goodwill, so this action must have some meaning for them. For this reason, I cannot be satisfied with the statement that Alaska crabmeat will be fully competitive with Russian crab meat because of existing import duties."
