Mexico's Middle Way

Results of the recent Mexican elec-
tions present a sharp contrast to the
mood of political restlessness that pre-
walls in so many of the countries to the
South. With the highest registration
in the countrys history, the voters have
continued the 30-year predominance of
the Party of Revolutionary Institutions.
Preliminary returns indicate that the
PRI may lose, at the most, only hand
full Of seats in the 178-member House of
Deputies and that its apparent sweep Of
five governorships is being challenged in
only one State.
One reason for this may lie in the
fact that there is no really strong second
party in the middle of the Mexican
political spectrum. In this instance, for
example, principal opposition to the
PRI, the party of President Lopez
Mateos, was found only in the small but
noisy MarxiSt- -oriented Popular Socialist
Party of the left and the pro- Catholic
National Action Party of the right. Even
so, the recent campaign involved a
larger than usual number of candidates
and particularly aggressive efforts by
the National Action Party to link the
PRI with leftist sympathieS The Lopez
Mateos administration, incidentally, has
made it clear that it disapproves either
extreme of left or right.
BY and large, the PRI has followed
course of responsible nationalism in
its domestic policies of social and eco
nomic development. In foreign affairs,
it has adhered to self-respecting role
of partnership with the democratic
powers in general and the United States
in particular. There are no reasons to
believe there will be any change as a
result of the latest popular voting.

Byrd Victory

To no ones great surprise, the Har-
rison-G Goodwin n-Button ticket, backed by
the Byrd organization, has won Vir-
ginia'S Democratic primary by a COM
Portable margin. This is a reflection of
an established fact of life in the Old
Dominion-that most Democrats are well
satisfied with the organizations con-
Servative policies.
1t is also fact, however, that the
opposition slate mustered significant
support. This was especially true Of State
Senator Armistead Boothe of Alexandria,
running for Lieutenant Governor. With
all but SO of the States 1861 precincts
counted, he trailed his opponent by 170,-
287 to 139 $500 margin of 30,707 ballots
out of 3O9,867.
The import of this will not be lost
upon the winners. When they take over
in Richmond after the November gen.
eral election (the Republican candidate
for Governor has little chance) they will
have to reckon with the fact that sub
Stantial minority of Democrats recorded
a preference for the anti-Byrd ticket.
This, we believe, will have its restraining
influence on any temptation to return
to extreme policies, and to this extent,
at least, the losers can feel that their
effort was worthwhile.

No Place to Hide?

There is talk of expand
ing our Civil Defense effort.
This seems much like plan
ming to build up our hip
pogriff ranch. Aren't both
the Pigments of overactive
imaginations? Incidentally,
there is one great omission
in such Civil Defense plans
as have been announced.
Let's face it. Metropolitan
traffic is disrupted by a
snow furry. So perhaps you
can begin to imagine what
might result from an official
pressing of the panic button
or pulling of the chicken
switch to order evacuation
Of the city in the event Of an
expected therm on u'c lear
attack.
People, of course, could
scurry to nearby shelters if
(a) these would offer any
appreciable protection or Cb)
if there we're nearly enough.
At home I have none; it
would add to the publican'S
appraisal of my already over
taxed property. If the State
or Federal Government
wishes me to build one. I
shall be interested in doing
so only if the cost is deduct
ible from my taxable income.
At work I have access to
a shelter. 1t is in the base
ment Of an elderly three
story brick building which
would doubtless collapse upon
us If even an old-faShioned
atom bomb were detonated
within a few miles. This
would be a mercy, for it
would kill us quickly. The
shelter area contains no sup
plies whatever to sustain
some 100 people for az min
imum of 10 days. Hence
we would face the choice Of
venturing out for food and
water, and so to die slowly
and painfully of radiation
sickness and fall-out, or we
could stay in the area and
either starve or eat each
other - equally unattractive
prospects.
The omission mentioned in
the first paragraph is simply
a recommendation of prayer,
in which I am old-faShioned
enough to believe. Not the
gimmie-gimmie prayers of
childhood and of some adults.
Not requests for reversals
of the laws of nature. But

Commissioner Duncan

From the beginning of the Specu-
lation about new District Commits
Sioner, there have been few members of
the Negro community whose names
came as quickly to mind as that of
John B. Duncan, 1t is entirely logical,
therefore, that President Kennedy has
named Mr.. Duncan to this highest post
in the District government, following
the withdrawal of Frank D. Reeves.
Mr.. Duncan attributes his appoint
ment to my civic record" record of
which he has just reason to be proud.
Since coming to Washington 27 years
ago, there are few civic endeavorS in
which he has not played major role,
including the presidency of the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations. During
his entire Washington residence, Mr..
Duncan has been respected govern
ment employe. He is an attorney, and
as the member of school family"-hiS
father was a college president and his
mother a school teacher-he no doubt
will be keenly aware of the multifarious
problems of public education. Mr..
Duncan never has been closely identi-
fled with partisan politics The admin
istration of the District government
traditionally has been free of partisan
political activities, and it is good to know
that as far as Mr.. Duncan is concerned
it will remain so
All of these things combine to
admirably qualify the new appointee for
the job, as does his declared intention
to fully acquaint himself with the i'm
mediate and pressing problems of the
District before attempting to. state his
positions. We wish him the best of luck
in this latest service to his city.

Struggle for Power?

The latest chapter in South Korean
affairs is not reaSsuring with respect
to developments in that country since
military coup in May removed the
civilian government of Premier>John M.
Chang, dissolved the National Assembly
and placed the nation under martial law.
With at least the nominal leader
ship of that coup in the hands of
Lieutenant General Do-Young, there
were suggestions at the time that the
real architect and strong man of the
uprising was Major General PAX Chung
Hi Approximately week ago develop
mentS tended to support this suggestion
when General PAX ousted General
Chang, and it was explained that there
was need for stronger leadership. AS
new chairman of the ruling junta, Gen
eral PAX promised to march forward
toward reconstruction of the national
economy and establishment of social
morals"
Whether or not steps have been
taken in this direction, General PAX
now seems engroSSed in a full-Scale
purge of some of his revolutionary
colleagueS-first among them being
General Chang. For whatever it is
worth, an officer on General Pak's staff
has explained this action by charging
that General Chang and Al others had
been caught scheming to assassinate
General PAX and planning to stage
counter-coup. All of this may be correct.
Revolution often breeds violent fac
tionalism and further episodes of blood
letting. Even so, there is room for doubt

UnfurI the FIous

On the morning of July 4,
while walking through a resi-
dental neighborhood, I was
disappointed to see so few
American flags displayed. I
also noticed some pleasure
boats parked in front or side
yards. By the end Of my
walk I had counted almost
as many boats as flags.
I do not mean to imply
that a persons patriotism
can be measured by the size
of his flag or the frequency
Of its display. Nor do I see
anything wrong in owning a
pleasure boat. But I do wish
that in these critical times of
international tensions there
could be more evidence that
we Americans do take some
time from our enjoyment of
the physical pleasures of life
to give thought to the moral
and spiritual ideals and the
individual liberties for which
our Nation stands. If, on
each national holiday, we
would think again of the pur-
pose for which the holiday
was designated and would
display the American flag as
visible evidence of our re-
newed pledge of allegiance
to the Nation for which it
stands, we could thereby
lend inspiration and en-
couragement to those on
whose shoulders we have
placed the responsibilities of
government. We would also
be saying to all the world
that we stand together as one
Nation in defense Of our
ideals. Patriotism is not
something to be hidden under
a bushel, but to be displayed
for all the world to see.

original Pure Food and Drug
Act. The District of Column
bia, often defined as a
State" in Congressional en-
actments, has never been
represented in Statuary Hall
as all the so States are. I

pressed for such representa-
tion.
The bill which Represent
ative Matthews has cospon-
sored with me would estab-
liSh the Historic Capitol Hill
Restoration Project" a 90
block square area containing
no modern shopping center
to serve the thousands of
families located in the area
bounded by the Anacostia
and Potomac Rivers on the
East and South, by Massa-
chuSetts and Constitution
avenues on the North, and
First street on the West. In
planning for Historic Capitol
Hill, authorities on the coun-
try'S early architecture at
Colonial Williamsburg, Bos-
ton, and Philadelphia would
be consulted. Through-high-
ways would be required to
skirt the area, preferably at
Nineteenth street, but this
would impose no hardship on
motorists travelling at so
miles per hour.
Houses which are not sub
standard would be protected
by my bill and houses which
have been allowed to deteri-
crate, such as the John
Philip Sousa Home, would be
restored. Individual home
owners have made George
town one of the most inter-
esting sections of the Ma
tion's Capital, and Historic
Capitol Hill can be aided by
