Now It's 'Comsymps'
The latest gam

The latest gambit In the John
Birch Society campaign to save the
United States from itself is a request
that society members pitch in to COM
pile list of all the leading "Comsymps,
Socialists and liberals" in the country.
"ComSympS" is term handily
coined by Robert H. Welch, jr., the
society president, to signify "Commu-
mist SympathizerS. y" It is an especially
beautiful word," he says, because you
don't have to say how much the person
is a Communist and how much he is a
sympathizer"
Well, this freewheeling line of rea-
soning-and the whole enterprise, for
that matter-are on a par with some of
the previous absurd utterances by Mr..
Welch, and deserve to be taken no
more seriously. If such list is drawn
up, the liberals" and "ComSymps" on
1t at least will be in good company,
alongside former President Eisenhower
Chief Justice Warren, Dag Hammar-
skiold and innumerable others. For
our part we are satisfied that the FBI
is doing pretty good job of keeping
tabs on the real "ComSymps"-with
no need of help from over-zealous
amateurs.

Hardly a Child

A letter from Confused Reader"
appearing elsewhere on this page, raises
a question with respect to a recent
decision by the Court of Appeals
decision which must also be confusing
to other people.
The case involved the conviction in
District Court, after waiver by the Juve-
nile Court, of 17-year-old on charges
of robbery and assault with dangerous
weapon. The alleged offenSe consisted
of robbing a market and stabbing a 16-
year-old clerk in the process.
While still in Juvenile Court custody,
the defendant made certain statements
tending to incriminate him, and these
were admitted in evidence when he was
tried under adult procedures in the
District Court. The appellate court, in
an to l decision, held that this was
improper and the main line of its legal
reasoning, we think, is sound.
What confuses our correspondent,
and what is confusing to other people,
is the courts repeated references to this
defendant as a child" For example,
the appellate court said that to permit
the, use of the incriminating statements

Mount Vernon Party

The criticism of the delightful party
given at Mount Vernon by the Kennedys
in honor of PakiStani President Moham-
mad Ayub Khan belongs in the small
potatoes category. So much so, in fact,
that 1t is little difficult to put ones
finger on just what it is that the hand
wringers are unhappy about.
Apparently, their main complaint
Is that the White House won't say how
much the party cost. Why should it?
Congress provides funds for such affairs
as this, and the question of whether one
party costs a little more, or a little less,
than another is hardly an earth-shaking
issue.
The selection of Mount Vernon .as
q setting for the party was an excellent
one, affording refreshing change from
the grim formality which surrounds too
many affairs of state. If the idea was
Mrs. Kennedy's, as has been reported,
we congratulate her.

A Kind of Solomon

Superior Court Judge Steven S.
WeiSman of California is to be COM
mended for the way in which he has
disposed of what might be called "The
Case of the Unwanted Slacks" The gar
ment, according to the plaintiff, had
been ordered by the defendant, but the
latter stoutly denied the charge, and
she declared, Furthermore, that the
thing didn't fit her.
Whereupon, or so it has been re-
ported from Los Angeles, counsel for
plaintiff (an indignant woman) pro-
posed that defendant (an equally in
dignant woman) put the slackS on and
let the court determine whether or not
they were properly styled, fitted and
becoming. In all its majesty, however
(and the more majestic 1t appears, the
more we like it), the law put its foot
down most emphatically. "For heavens
sake" said Judge Weisman, Superior
Court is no place for backyard argu-
ment. If you can't settle this, will"
And the judge did just that. He
wrote check for $13 and handed it to
the plaintiff in payment for the con-
troversial Slacks, kind of Solomon'S
decision that seems to have satisfied the
contending parties. More than that it
has upheld the dignity of the court
against silly style show that would
have served merely to prove, once again,
that the female of the species, generally
speaking, looks less than charming in
what is essentially mans sarb.

mission made by the child

conviction and punishment
when he goes to trial in
District court"
Let us examine the case
Of a 17-year-old youth who
was convicted last year in
District Court of assault and
robbery. He had been ac-
cused of going into a North
east Washington market in
December. 1859, stealing $163

Child" who does not know
the difference between right
and wrong and whose con-
fession to the police cannot
be admitted in the United
States District Court?
I agree with the law If
the case involves a child,
for he may not know the
difference between right and
wrong and should not be
convicted as an adult. But
a 17-year-old capable Of
performing a crime should
not be considered as a child,
but as a young criminal.

Dubious Relief Project

Welfare payments now cost District
taxpayers over $6 million each year
Merely to keep pace with current pro-
grams will require an additional Sic
million during the next fiscal year. Yet,
on top of this, the Commissioners
now are considering whether to spend
another $1.4 million per year in welfare
payments to the families of able-bodied
men who are out of work.
Participation in this new Federal
assistance program is optional among
the States and the District, and it is a
program which the Commissioners
should approach with caution.
The foremost consideration is the
financial one. BY putting up $1.4 million
OF its own, the District would get another
SIT million in Federal funds for the
program. But where would the District
share come from? The fiscal affairs of
the city are in desperate straitS-due
at least in part to the fact that welfare
costs already are mounting sharply.
According to a recent House Appropri-
ationS Committee report, the District
welfare caseload has doubled within the
last five years. And this quite obviously
is trend which is not likely to reverse
itself. Perhaps it is not possible to apply
the brakes to the welfare program in
any significant degree. But at least
broadening of it should be avoided
unless the necessity for extensions are
demonstrated beyond argument.
We have seen no indications thus
far that such finding has been made
in this instance-nor do we expect them
1t may be that in other cities, where
unemployment is rampant, some such
assistance must be given But with the
exception Of such a rare occurrence as
the severe SHOWS of last winter, when
the construction industry was immo-
biltzed, are conditions in Washington
really so bad as to require this kind of
program?
In some circumstances, this pro-
gram might make relief more profitable
than working, and this would be a
radical departure from the past philos-
ophy Of our welfare programs. The $1.4-
million cost, Furthermore, admittedly is
a minimum estimate; quite easily, with
only minor changes in the qualifying
regulations, the cost could increase
Several-fold. There is also danger that
such a program might attract large
numbers of prospective new relief clients
to Washington, an influx which apart
from the public expense would intensity
community problems in many ways.
According to reports, most of the
States which have Joined in the Federal
program thus far already had similar
programs in effect, financed entirely
with State or local money. Naturally,
these States have been delighted to take
advantage of the additional Federal
assistance. AS far as Washington is con-
cerned, however, the proposal Is a novel
one of very dubious value.

Mover of Monuments

What nonsense to say, as
you did on July 9, that no
space is left in Washington
for monuments. Continuing
blunders in the use of scarce
District land every year make
available spaces for monu-
ments which are unsuitable
for any other use.
Specifically, the Garfield
and Peace" m o n u m e n t S
which are obstructing all the
traffic west of the Capitol
(due to drivers being too dumb
to use streets alternative to
First Street, need not move
far to find safe new homes.
Garfield Park, which The Star
Building looks at, will be re-
duced to a silver by the
Southeast Freeway. Since the
park will then be too small
for any sort of active re-
creation. why not put Gar
field there?
Peace" needs only to move
down M Maryland Avenue
S. W., to the swell concrete
and asphalt plaza in front of
the new Federal Office Build
ing at Fourth Street which
has been created by putting
a square building in a tri-
angular plot. Peace" may
not blend with the neo- prison
style architecture of this
building, but it may palli-
ate the agoraphobia of those
forced to walk through the
plaza.
