Makes sport of New Frontier

Our football oriented ad-
ministration might be de-
scribed as follows by a TV
sports announcer:
"It'S time out, folks, here
midway in the first quarter.
Our boys have shown a lot
Of vigor and drive, have
worked we'll as a team and
have gained a lot of yardage
in the home half of the field,
but have not gained a yard
in enemy territory. On Of
fense we have used straight
power football, mainly con-
Servative line plunges
straight up the middle, and
have not tried anything fancy
or unorthodox except for that
one disastrous attempted pass
from our end zone. You
remember the play; the whole
team, apparently frustrated
at not being able to score,
decided in the huddle to gam
BILE. Quarterback Jack
dropped back to pass, but
Skidded and fell in the slip
perry end zone and was i'm
mediately Smeared for a
safety by the left end of the
Moscow Redskins, Castro.
That Castro was quite a sight
barreling into the end zone
for the tackle, with that full
beard and lighted cigar stick
ing out under the helmet.
There were some yelps in the
pileup after the tackle; may
be that cigar rolled loose and
burned somebody.
"On defense we have played
with lots of vigor and have
tackled hard. but have some
times tackled opponents who
did not have the ball. We
have been vulnerable to un-
orthodox formations and
tricky plays, but have at least
held the score down to 20.
We have had only one short
penalty, for the ineligible
substitution of Reeves.

sidelines talking to some of

national security, must we not
grant every other nation the
same right? The resumption
OF tests, therefore, would be
an invitation to all nations
to join in the nuclear arms
race. The result would be a
world in which the grim pos
sibility of mutual annihila-
ton would be considerably
heightened.
A truth that men are slow
to accept is that security for
half the world cannot be re-
allied by creating a sense of
insecurity in the other half.
Yet this is the futile aim of
both sides in the present
arms race. The modern world
is such that it cannot endure
half secure and half insecure
any more than this Nation
could endure half slave and
half free. From here on out
nations will increasingly
have to think, feel and act
in terms of human welfare
generally and not merely in
terms of national interest.
This is the price of survival.
The question OF whether
the United States is to re-
sumo testing is not one to be
decided by a panel of our
own scientists, which the ad-
ministration is bringing to-
gether. Nor can it be decided
by the bloc of nations asso-
ciated with us. 1t is a prob
lem for the world community
and should be presented to
the General Assembly of the
United Nations.

Atomic Tests Up to u. NJ?

One of your correspondents
(Star, June 800, aims at ex-
posing the folly of the test
ban, but does considerably
better in illustrating the
folly of name-calling. Soft
headed, bleeding heart, paci-
fist-liberals," we are told,
have been back of the sus-
pension of tests. That would
include Eisenhower, Kennedy,
numerous leaders in every
field of human endeavor, and
apparently a majority of
Americans. D
The "pacifist-liberals" who
denied United States citi-
zens greater protection from
sudden Communist attack"
through the test ban are &C
cuSed of still being totally
unaware of the true facts of
life" One Of the facts of life
which the "pacifist-li'oerals"
are not unaware of is that
nuclear weapons tests were
suspended in large part be-
cause world opinion de-
manded it.
In 1858, men everywhere
were asking, What right do
the United States, England
and Russia have to poison
the atmosphere on which the
whole human race is depend
ent for life and well-being?"
Back of the question of
testing lie deeper issues that
must be faced if the United
States is to act nationally
and not merely emotionally
in coming to a decision. If
we demand for ourselves the
right to test in the name of

Froth and Mr.. K.

Against the lowering background of
his seeming resolve to create a crisis
over Berlin-a genuinely explosive stu
alton that could conceivably erupt into
an autumnal nuclear war-it is in
tereSting, and maybe even significant,
that Nikita KhruShchev has been almost
ostentatiously amiable toward our coun-
try this week.
The amiability has been particularly
demonstrated at our Embassy in Moscow,
where the Soviet Premier, as if trying
to put bride on the mounting tensions
between his country and ours, has been
at pains to act jovially and say nice
things about us and our Fourth of July.
In addition, the pleasant Mrs. Khru-
Shchev who seems to be an altogether
Warm-hearted woman, has done her bit
to generate an atmosphere of Russo
American "Sympatico" and mutual un-
derstanding. She has done so, in rather
motherly fashion, by suggesting, among
other things involving other persons and
matters, that Mrs. Thompson, wife of
our Ambassador to the USSR, would be
wise to stop smoking cigarettes.
Beyond all this, if one is looking
for hopeful auguries amid the encircling
gloom (Which actually may be somewhat
exaggerated), it is worth noting that
Mr.. KhruShchev has been emphatic in
expressing the view that the United
States and the Soviet Union ought to be
able to get along together in spite of
the tensions that exist in connection
with such widely separated places as
Berlin and Laos. Thus, as he has put
1t IN his slightly over-Simplified personal
independence Day message to President
Kennedy, "The Soviet and the American
peoples must go down in history as the
Two great peoples who made a decisive
contribution to the cause of insuring
permanent peace on earth"-by under
taking TO build, from both sides,
enduring bridges of trust, of mutual
understanding and of friendship"
In his response, Mr.. Kennedy has
used considerably fewer words than the
Soviet Premier, but he has been polite
and to the point, and he has been
cautiously optimistic in declaring as
follows: Il am confident that given a
sincere desire to achieve a peaceful
settlement of the issues which still
disturb the worlds tranquility we can,
in our time, reach that peaceful goal
which all peoples so ardently desire"
Like Mr.. KhruShchev'S, these are diplo-
matte phrases quite as bland as any
ever uttered, but they may have extra
substance to them as a result-if the
facts have been accurately reported-of
the ever widening theological split
between the Kremlin and Red Peiping.
This is matter so speculative, of
course, that all Westerners must view
it with great reserve, even to the point
of reckoning with the possibility that
Moscow and Peiping are staging make
believe split in order to throw dust in
the eyes of the free world Still, if the
rumorS and unSubstantiated think
pieces are even half true, Sino-Soviet
bloW-up may be in prospect, and Mr..
KhruShchevS Fourth-of-July amiability
thus may be regarded as being more
meaningful than mere diplomatic froth.

erS, including bonus players,
but of course none of the new
players will be here in time
for this game.
During g times out the
Western half of the stands
has been enchanted by the
performance and pirouettes
of our Cheerleader Jackie:
she is certainly the prettiest
cheerleader I've seen all sea-
son.
"On the bench I see men,
berS of the second team talk
ing it up during the time out.
There's Dick, Barry, Nelse,
Ev and Charlie, all arguing
and gesturing. Of course,
they support the boys on the
field, but they don't like the
offensive plays called so far
but then they don't seem to
be able to agree among them
selves what plays should be
called. All seem to be ready
to go on the field and direct
the team, if called upon.
There's a continuing dis
turbance in the Eastern
stands that is distracting the
crowd and, at times, even the
players on the field. It's hard
to see from here, but it looks
like there is a small group of
our supporters deep in the
visitors stands, whooping it
up for us, and the visitors
don't like it. The little group
is waving pennants reading
BERLIN; I don't know the
school. If this keeps up the
stadium police may have to
decide whether to move out
the group or go to their aid.

I disagree with the con-
clusion that the Reeves case
has "set back the drive to
win home rule for the CITY,"
The effect on me was to
arouse, for the first time, a
definite emotional enthusi-
asm favoring home rule.
If responsible citizens of
the District of Columbia take
the trouble and suffer the
boredom of community poll
tics, the existing vacuum
cannot be filled with oppor-
tunists and extremists as Of
ten occurs under our obSo-
lete form of Government.
Home rule in the District
would have made impossible
the recent nomination fiasco,
which came about through
forces far removed from the
day to day drudgery of run
ming the city of Washington.
Equating a mans qualifica-
tions to be a Governor of
the District with his support

who want to be President of

Why all the fuss about

had many residents who
avoided paying taxes for va

was a basic concept dating
back to Colonial times, i.e.,
taxation without representa-

pay his taxes naturally dis
qualified him for the job of

agement relations. Further,
organized labor has again
and again seriously and in a
detrimental manner affected
the public interest and the
economy of the country by
industry-wide strikes.
This is President Kennedy's
first hassle with such strikes.
His two predecessors in the
White House. former Presi-
dents Truman and Eisen-
hover. found it necessary to
invoke the Taft t-Hartley Act
in labor disputes a total of II
timeS-Mr. Truman 10 times
made use of it and Mr.. Eisen-
hover Z. In all except four
cases, the 80-day cooling
off" period was sufficient to
bring about adjustment of
the issues between the strik-
erS and management. In the
four others, the strikes were
resumed. So, as it stands,
the Taft Hartley national
emergency section has not
been valuelesS-quite the con-
trary.
May Be No Proposal
In view of all the politics
involved and the need for
labor votes, come election
day, a strong suspicion ex-
lists that nothing will be pro-
posed by the administration
to strengthen the Taft-Hart-
ley Act-certainly not If the
maritime strike is adjusted
before the close of the 30
day cooling-off period. There
is a possibility, however, that
the strike will be resumed.
Furthermore, the automobile
workers union is now en-
gagged in negotiating a new
contract with the manufac-
turers. Reports from Detroit
indicate there is real possibil-
ity Of a major strike in that
industry over the question of
job security, not wage in
creases. President Kennedy
and Secretary of Labor Gold
berg may be expected to ex-
ert every effort to prevent
such a strike, which would
again cripple the country's
economy in a big way, caus-
ing great harm to the in
dustry, the workers, and to
the general public.
What Congress would do
With a proposal to strengthen
the Taft-Hartley Act is a
good question. too. The labor
committees in both Senate
and House are heavily
weighted with friends of or
ganized labor = and by
friends is meant members
who favor legislation ap-
proved by labor leaders and
who frown upon legislation
these leaders do not like. II
some amendment can be de-
Wsed to improve" the Taft
Hartley Act national emer-
gency section in a way which
will please organized labor,
it may be transmitted to
Congress. But unless a new
emergency crops up there ap-
pears little prospect that
anything will be done in this
matter, either by the White
House or by Congress. On
Capitol Hill there is a sur
mise that Mr.. Kennedy's talk
Of improving the Taft-Hart-

President Kennedy never
said a truer word than his
statement that the national
emergency section of the
Taft-Hartley Qabor) Act
needs improvements" He
was impelled to make this
declaration by reason of the
circumstances surrounding
the 19-day-old maritime
union strike which tied up
shipping to a degree that
threatened disaster.
The President deserves
credit for making use of the
Taft Hartley injunction proc
ess to send the strikers back
to work for an 80-day period,
during which further efforts
will be made to settle the
issues between the maritime
workers and the ship opera
tors-and between the unions
themselves. His Secretary of
Labor, Arthur Goldberg, said
the invoking of the Taft
Hartley Act to halt the strike
was "distasteful" to the Pres
ident. That probably was
putting it mildly, for Mr..
Kennedy voted against the
Taft-Hartley bill when he
was a member of the House
of Representatives and has
criticized the law since. But
the President has found it
necessary to make use of the
acts injunction process; in
deed, it was the only weapon
available to halt, at least
temporarily, an intolerable
situation.
The President said in his
order invoking the act that
he was instructing the Secre-
tary of Labor to prepare pro-
posals for amending Taft
Hartley which he would
transmit to Congress. This
must be even more distaste-
full to Mr.. Goldberg, counsel
for the steelworkers union at
the time of the steel strike a
couple of years ago, which
tore the economy Of the coun-
try to shreds and helped
bring on a recession, out Of
which the country is still
struggling. At that time no
one was more critical Of the
Taft-Hartley Act than Mr..
Goldberg.
What Will Be Proposed?
The big question Is wheth-
er the Presidents demand
for improvements" in the
Taft-Hartley Act m ans
strengthening the national
emergency section. In view
of the Presidents own state
ment, the need to strengthen
the act seems implicit. What
direction the proposals will
take, however, waits on the
President and Mr.. Goldberg.
The President and Mr..
Goldberg have come to grips
with the fact that politics
and the public interest do not
always run on all fours. They
both owe their high offices
to the support of organized
labor. And organized labor
(since enactment of the Wag-
ner Labor Relations Act in
the early days of the Frank
lin D. Roosevelt administra-
ton and the earlier laws CIV
ing organized labor special
privileges - exemption from
antitrust laws for example)
has had no check placed
upon it except the Taft Hart
ley Act and the more recent
Landrum-Griffin Act striking
at corruption in labor-man-
