In a statement issued yesterday
Governor Ralph M. PaieWonsky
said: Even in the happiest family
there is room for healthy criticism.
! therefore welcome the discus
sion that has arisen here about q
couple of cases of misguided and
alien discriminatory conduct in
our islands. My Administration
will give no public, or legal, or
covert sanction to this kind of
thing. Like weeds in the best
tended garden, isolated instances
of discrimination will probably
continue to crop up. They viii be
summarily dealt with when they
are within reach of the laW. Hap
PLY, the law in the United States
cannot reach into mems minds or
their private homes. We can only
be sure that no member of the
community is Disseminated
AGAINST. And / pledge that we will
make very, very sure of that.
Our islands are known through
out the world as a place where
social and racial harmony has
been developed to a high level
that is probably unmatched in any
community. This harmony is not
a matter of superficial 'integra-
ton" It is deeply ingrained in the
very nature Of our society and
within the hearts of those who
live here.
There are to be sure, a few peo-

Lobor's Family Troubles

Walter Reuther'S frankly expressed
disappointment at the state of affairs
within the AFL-CIO offers small COM
fort, If any, to either the friends or
critics Of organized labor. 1t has become
increasingly evident, particularly dur
ing the past two or three years, that
the 1855 merger of the two big labor
union groups has not been free of deep
seated troubles. And if this has been
harmful at times to labor'S own cause,
which it has, it has been damaging also
to other interests, including those Of
the public at large, which so often have
been caught in the middle of inter-
union strife.
1t was recognized in the beginning,
of course, that compromise and recon-
ciliation of differing views would be es-
sential to establishing genuine compati-
biltty within the enlarged federation.
In the trade union movement itself,
many of the leaders participating in the
merger had been rivals, if not outright
enemies. Organizing techniques, juris-
dictional lines, PHILOSOPHERS about polit-
ical activity and approach to legislative
Evening star., 1961-11-16

action were matters of disagreement.
Most of them remain so today.
In the background Of the fedora
ton factionalism are the two dominant
individuals whose relationship has been
discussed more by others than it has
been clarified publicly by themselves.
One is George Meany, president Of the
old AFL and likewise of the new organi-
zation. The other is Mr.. Reuther, who
headed the CIO and is president of the
Industrial Union Department of the new
federation. Although there has been
occasional speculation that Mr.. Reuther
is preparing to challenge Mr.. Meany for
the federation presidency, he has not
yet done so and even his criticism this
week was not directed at Mr.. Meany by
name.
1t is doubtful that any individual
or group within the AFL-CIO is pre-
pared to force showdown to the point
of splitting the organization. But it is
also virtually certain that the fedora
tion'S December convention will set the
stage for battle, and that decisions
reached then will have great bearing on
the future of organized labor.

GoIioth's Sacrifice

1t would seem to me that
when delay is so often en-
countered in launching ami
mails into space the least
the scientists could do would
be to develop and use only
containers from which ami
mails could be fed and wa
tered. According to the news
papers, the little squirrel
monkey was imprisoned in his
tiny l foot by foot container
for over So hours without
either food or water prior to
his fatal take-off. Despite the
claim that animals are trained
for such endurance, it seems
excessively cruel.
1t was also reported that
guidance of the missile was
responsible for the animals
blazing death, such guidance
being associated with the At
las E failures. How needlessly
wasteful and cruel it is then
to continue sending animals
aloft while this missile is
considered still so unreliable.
One TV commentator re-
ported that Goliath was the
29th animal to sacrifice his
life" in these space flights.
How much more accurate
would be Goliath was the
29th animal whose life was
sacrificed"

Free Vote in Far East

Once again, through a countrywide
free election, the Philippine Republic
has proved its right to be called show
place of democracy in the Far East.
Responding to a campaign that was
vigorous and replete in its discussion of
foreign and domestic issues, the voters
turned out in record numbers to elect
Diosdado Macapagal, the Liberal Party
candidate, to the presidency by COM
Portable margin. Mr.. Macapagal has
been serving as Vice President during
the administration of his Nationalist
Party opponent, Carlos Garcia.
On foreign policy, both candidates
had pledged continuance of the young
republics close association with the
United States and to the free world
community in general. Although Mr..
Macapagal charged that there had been
Communist infiltration of the Garcia
government, both candidates and their
parties were equally strong in their
condemnation of communism and its
objectiveS in the Far East. DomeStically,
Mr.. Macapagal emphasized the need
for government administrative house
cleaning, and promised that he would
encourage, through more favorable
terms, a greater investment of free
world foreign capital in Philippine de-
velopment projects. AS the campaign
progressed, Mr.. Macapagal drew in
creased public support from progressive
quarters and from followers of the
late Nationalist President, Ramon
MagSaysay.
The President-elect has had a
consistent record of political success
and popularity since 1949. At 81, he
gives every appearance of being well
qualified for the honor and the respon-
sihility which his countrymen have
voted upon him.

Generous Fellow

The election results prompt
the question When are the
Republicans going to learn
that their campaign prom
iSes offer about as little ma
terial nourishment to the
electorate as a cup of hot
Water?"
The only possible way that
voters can be weaned from
the Democrats is to offer
richer fare. Why not unlim-
tied unemployment compen-
sation, guaranteed annual
wages, two college degrees,
a compact car, free medical
care, minority preferment, 60
day vacations, a five-hour
day and a four-day week, ma
tionalized railways and public
utilities, individual air-con-
ditioned bomb shelters, tax
exemption for all wages be-
low $4,000 a year.
With these plankS in their
platform the Republicans can
elect the devil himself.

Crime Wins Aquin

Inc dope peQQlng fraternity, WHICH
makes its millions by first enSlaving and
then destroying its addicted victims,
has just won a significant victory"
Seven New YorkerS, accused of operating
a multi-million dollar narcotics ring,
have been released because the prose-
cutor, under a Federal Circuit Court
decision, concluded that he could not
use the wiretap evidence which, he said,
proved their guilt beyond all doubt
This results in a situation which is
an affront to any rational concept of
justice For it involves much more than
the release of these Seven-and the
threat which this poses for other
potential victims of their degraded
traffic. 1t also means that any criminal,
no matter how depraved or vicious his
activity, can operate in New York City
with relative impunity. His wire may
be tapped, but he knows that any
evidence so obtained, no matter how
discriminating, will not be used against
him. If this is not major triumph for
crime and the criminal element, we do
not know what would be.
Strangely enough, wiretapS under
court supervision, and the use in State
courts of wiretap evidence, are author
lied by New York law. But the Federal
courts, without specifically invalidating
the New York statute, have nevertheless
cast such doubt on the use Of wiretapS
that they have become ineffective as
a weapon against crime.
The Federal position rests on the
language of the 1884 Federal Com
municationS Act which says that no
person, unless authorized by the sender,
shall intercept and divulge the substance
or contents of a (telephone) communi-
cation. Did Congress intend that this
should protect criminal activity from
law enforcement officers? Was the
intent to carve out a privileged sane
tuary for the dope peddler, the espionage
agent, the gangster and the killer?
The Department of Justice does not
think so, and neither do we.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that
repeated efforts to obtain congressional
Qualification of the law have been un-
availing. Despite strong and growing
support, blllS TO aLtnor1ze WlretapS by
law-enforcement officers under court
supervision in serious crimes, and the
use in court of wiretap evidence, have
failed of final passage. The effort to
secure remedial legislation will be re-
newed in the next session of Congress,
and the collapse of this particular prose-
cution in New York City should be
helpful. For it demonstrates all too
clearly that law enforcement, denied
the use of controlled overlapping, is
fighting a losing battle against the
already thriving criminal element. We
do not believe that Congress intended
this in 1884, and we do not think the
legislators want it to happen now. What
is needed is a vigorous push to put
corrective legislation on the books, and
we believe the impetus will come from
an outraged public opinion, once the
full import of what is happening sinks in.
