Whimsical Briton

With the ffiendliest Of feelings

fess some admiration for British shop
keeper named Charles Terry. Mr.. Terry

character, an ingenious and imaginative

television, too, and with sort of typical
British sympathy for the "also-ran" he
worked up a great longing to see Brand

effectiveness of doing It's work. It never
did, however, until Mr.. Terry really put
his mind to work on the matter. He now

which he started manufacturing In an
abandoned Manchester church.
Consumer acceptance has been high
As 900 boxes a day-and Mr. Terry is
planning to enlarge his production
facilities to the packaging of 100000

has been so successful that Mr.. Terry

Objective in Vienna

In the communique summing up
their three days of talks, Presidents
Kennedy and De Gaulle have resorted
to the diplomatic generalities that are
characteristic of such documents. Even
so, they have left no room for doubt
that their direct and searching" dis
cusSions have been more than a little
bit fruitful in further strengthening
the historic ties that bind France and
the United States together in deep
solidarity"
Despite this, Of course, 1t is still
fact that our two countries do not see
eye to eye on everything On the con-
trary, differences continue to exist be-
tween us on such matters as General
de Gaulle's disdainful attitude toward
the United Nations, his dissenting opin-
ions regarding the control Of nuclear
weapons, and the role of France in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
But these are friendly disagreements
that lend themselves to ultimate set
tlement on a mutually satisfactory basis.
As for the great life-or-death chal-
lenges-the ones that involve the de-
Tense of freedom against Communist
subversion and aggression - Franco
American unity is beyond question.
This is alluded to In the Paris COM
munique as fundamental agreement"
on basic issues. Thus, by way of Spe-
cific example, General de Gaulle and
Mr., Kennedy have been at pains to

Compassionate Justice

The image Of justice in France has
not suffered by the verdicts handed
down in the trials Of insurrectionlst
Generals Maurice Challe and Andre
zeller. For this Is a justice not only
seasoned with mercy, but finely per-
ceptive Of the sincere-though mis-
guided-emotional commitments that
drove two career military officers to
take up arms in revolt against their
own government. Their indefensible
actions as two of the leaders Of the
aborted April uprising In Algeria were
not excused, nor did their counsel even
attempt any sweeping denial Of guilt.
Instead, even the prosecutor barred his
own ordeal Of self-examination while
analyzing in this case the motivations
and behavior of treason. Having done
so, 1t was his summation that 1t was
impossible for him "to demand the
sentence Of death against these men,"
In a sense, this was something of
France itself on trial-with two soldiers
standing in the dock as symbols Of a
military caste that traditionally has
considered itself the real defender of
Gallo honor, and that has found 1t
the hardest to surrender the slogan
that algeria is French" Even those,
military or civilian, who have come to
the realization that history has out
moded at least the literal truth of this
belief understand its deep appeal. One
of these, former Delegate General in
Algeria, Paul Delouvier, wrote to the
trial court Of the character and loyalty
of General Challe when they were
associated In Algerian administration
and there was additional testimony,
from the prosecution, of the extenuating
circumstances in General Challe's
behavior.
, Out Of all this came verdicts Of
guilty, sentences of fifteen years In
prison and the stripping of all past
honors. The two men have been dealt
with justly, but not harshly. France
itself earns respect for this outcome.

New G. 0. P. Command

The Republican Party has turned
wisely to a youth movement" of It's
own in selecting 47-year-old Repre-
sentative William E. Miller of upstate
New York as its next national chairman
Along with this relative youthfulness
come certain other attributes for this
particular iob-among them, a decade
OF experience in Congress, winning
performance as 1860 chairman of the
party's congressional campaign COM
mittee and vigorous sense of parti-
sanship in purely political matters.
Mr.. Miller takes over at moment
when both the need and the opportunity
for energetic Republican leadership are
great. Senator Morton of Kentucky,
who has served ably in the post since
1853, has need to turn to his own
personal interests in running for re-
election In 1862 in a border State that
can and does swing either way party
wise. Coming from reasonably safe
Republican district, Mr.. Miller figures
to have more freedom for Nationwide
party operations.
In several respects, the new chalr-
mans approach to the job appears to fit
the current demands. He has made it
clear, for example, that he considers
the House and Senate races of next
year of first priority mportance-rather
than preoccupation now with the
possible makeup Of the 1864 G. o. P.
presidential ticket. This same point
was made by former President Eisen-
hover in his appeal at party dinner
here on Thursday night that the G. o. P.
should concentrate on pulling itself
together rather than pulling itself
apart. Similarly, Mr.. Miller also has
emphasized two other major party
needs, namely, that organization must
be improved vastly in the big cities
where the Republicans virtually lost
the 1860 presidential election, and that
younger men should be brought in
creasingly into leadership and policy
making roles.
His political record indicates that
Mr.. Miller supports his words with
action. On this premise, the Repub-
lican Party should feel encouraged
about 1862 and perhaps 1864 as we'll.

.ShirIey's Traffic Jam

Not only traffic Is jammed on
Shirley Highway. Adding to the mess
is the jam that has developed between
Federal and State authorities over plans
for widening the overloaded road so as
to eliminate its bottleneck character
istics. 1t is highly encouraging there
fore, that the dissident parties finally
have gotten together and are trying
to work out mutually satisfactory
solution.
The Shirley problem should not be
allowed to become snarled in politics.
The improvement of this vital link In
the interstate network In nearby Vir-
ginia is a nonpartisan project, calling
for the fullest cooperation among all
concerned. Such problems as how many
lanes to add to the inadequate four
lane highway, how to finance them, how
to maintain the expanded road and how
to carry the traffic across the Potomac
River are complicated enough as they
stand.
While no details of the conference
held in Senator Robertson's Office have
had decided to study these problems In
a Joint effort to reach an agreement.
The Virginia Senator's interest in OBJ
tanning settlement of the differences
is gratifying, giving rise to hope that
Federal and Virginia officials soon
may have meeting of the minds. 1t
Is indicated that a tentative agreement
already has been reached as to division
of the COST with the Federal Bureau
of Public Roads putting up IS per cent
and Virginia per cent of the bill. Still
being explored, however. are the ques-
tions of how wide to make Shirley and
whether an entirely new highway might
better serve the needs of the area.

Among the Morchers

The military parade has
now passed; soldiers, all
smartly uniformed, and all
in step, keeping a stately
rhythm that others Of their
noble regiments once kept.
A veteran looked on In
keenest admiration, and
thought Of what he had
learned Of good formation. "
There was no envy in his
heart at being out of this
body now disabled by the
cruelties Of war. AS he looked
admiringly at the procession,
he seemed to make himself,
in thought, a part Of it.
He thought Of those COM
panions who once kept stride
with him. as, side by side,
they joked and chided one
another at some awkward
ness, but still held the front
line" straight and bullet
proof in its exactness.
These men, now so hand
somely garbed on parade,
seemed to him the pleasant
ghosts of those, whose COM
panionshlp he once shared,
and when q tear or two
dropped from his eye he let
them linger on his cheek In
memory Of those who died at
his own side.
Parades are stimulating
spectacles to him. They stir
a certain something in his
breast-the gallant fluttering
Of ones own Nations colors,
the blare Of trumpets, drums
and flies, and all the rest of
the pageantry, give him a
sense Of kinship with his fell
low countrymen; and when
the common cause is truly
honorable. he thinks OF his
fellows who gave their lives
for it.
We, who now live, In free
dom. because Of their great
sacrifice, can let our tears Of
gratitude linger on our cheeks
without apology or any charge
Of vapid sentimentality.
Our memory Of those who
were once on parade, but who
are now passing in review"
before q Supreme Com
mander" should chasten us
