Sen. John M. Butler


Aiming to Parley-President
Kennedy may make the most
important speech of his life to.
night when he addresses the
American people on the "haz-
ards and responsibilities" con-
fronting this nation.
The President will discuss the
necessity of strengthening the
military position of the United
States. Officials in the Admin
istration have stated that the
build-up is "a necessary prelude
to negotiation" while other
sources explain 1t is needed to
demonstrate "the national sense
of determination" / prefer to
say that the mobilization is a
reaction by the Administration
to a growing conviction among
the people that it is time to stop
talking and time to start act
ing.
On Wednesday, the President
will present to the Congress the
details of his plan to strengthen
the United States - and the
price tag. I believe that the
Congress will not finch from
its responsibilities to provide
the necessary funds for any
move required for the good of
the national defense. But, and
this is a most important point,
the Congress cannot be expect
ed to approve essential expendi-
lures for our military posture
and non-essential monies for an
extension of the welfare state.
The Federal Government does
not know and can never be ex-
pected to know the answers to
the 1870 million different eco
nomic problems of the Amer
lean people.
The President himself reveal
ed last week that the programs
of the New Frontier have not
produced prosperity when he
stated that the Gross National
Product rose sharply" during
April-June to fan annual rate of
$515 billion" He also pointed
out that total personal income
has risen steadily" and the
Federal Reserve Board index of
production had increased sew
eral points by June.
All of these economic indi-
Gators went up before the Presi-
dents economic "stimulations''
such as depressed areas aid,
minimum wage raise and extern
sion of unemployment benefits
could take effect. 1t is vital
to remember that competitive
enterprise, not a controlled econ-
omy, Ii responsible for our cur
rent prosperity.
The President has said that
the news will be worse before
it is better" I predict that
America ar1ning to parley will
produce q turn for the better in
the news. And the Administra-
ton taking a more realistic atti-
tude regarding its theory of con-
trolling the American economy
viii be even better news for an
aroused and self-reliant nations.

Peace Corps Under Way -
The Peace Corps is underway,
but not on the scale expected.
There are a few dozen lads in
training, and the first will be
sent overseas this fall. Mem
bers of Congress are concerned
over a number of factors. Some
of them question whether a
Pea ce Corps is necessary,
whether the massive and rather
expensive effort to put a hand
full of semi-skilled young people
into the field is warranted.
1t has been pointed out that
such services as proposed
already are being rendered by
numerous established and ex-
perienced organizations. Among
the several U. S. Government
agencies already active in over
seas work, for example, is the
international Cooperation Ad-
ministration. 1t alone has more
than 5000 skilled technicians
working in more than 10 ma
tons. 1t is requesting SIS bill
lion to spend on these activities
during the fiscal year.
American missionary agencies
are another powerful force
overseas - not only in religious
work but in medical, education
al and technical operations as
well. Through a large number
OF well organized agencies, the
United States maintains $4,000
missionaries abroad. Nearly all
are technicians. Many are doc
tors and teachers.
Some Of my colleagues are
asking If Peace Corps expendi-
lures will compare favorably
with costs Of maintaining mis-
sionaries and Government tech
nicians and military personnel
overseas. 1t is hard to draw an
exact comparison because of diff
ferences in the programs and
personnel. The Peace Corps is
recruiting young people, many
of whom have not finished col
lege, while the international Co
operation Administration, pri-
vate foundations and volunteer
agencies rely more on skilled,
mature professionals.
Meaning Distorted - In the
opening paragraph of q formal
statement released at his press
conference last w e In esday,
President Kennedy called atten-
ton to how the Soviets say one
thing and mean something else.
He reminded US that the Rus.
sian dictator speaks Of peace,
but threatens to disturb it."
Two days previously, Secre-
tary OF State Dean Rusk, In adj
dressing the National Press
Club in Washington, referred to
the fact that the Soviets have
distorted ''the very language Of
internatio nal intercourse"
" Peace has become a word to
describe whatever condition
would promote their world revo-
luton" Secretary Rusk said,
adding: aggression is what
ever stands in It's way; Peoples
democracy b a term applied to
regimes no one of which has
been chosen by free election"
The Secretary went on to say
that to the Communist the word
negotiation" means further

Comments From Capitol Hill
by
Observation-Disclosures

member of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House of Repre-
sentatives 1 recently joined in
sending to the Floor of the
House a new "conflicts-of-inter-
est" law. This important bill
received strong committee
recommendations and I predict
favorable House reaction to the
bill.
The Congressional investiga-
ton into conflicts-of-interest
cases arising in executive agen-
cies of the Government has
drawn attention to a most UNI
fortunate situation. All of us
remember the recent cases of
conflicts of interest in high
places. T. Lamar Caudle
brought tragedy to himself and
embarrassment to the Truman
A d m n S t r a ton. Sherman
Adams a man whose long
years of devoted public service
justifiably earned for him the
respect of his colleagues and
fellow citizens-was accused of
conflicts of interest in the
Eisenhower Administration.
The present conflicts of inter-
est statutes are archaic, often
misunderstood, and full of loop.
holes. For many a wise and
able public servant they are
nothing but disguised pitfalls.
But for the INSCRIPTIONS, as the
proponents of this bill note, the
present laws offer stealthful op-
portunities for self.aggrandize-
ment.
All too often, the existing con-
flicts of interest laws have cast
unnecessary obstacles in the
path of recruiting qualified peo-
pie for Government service.
This situation is particularly APP
parent in the case of consul
tants and other temporary en-
ployees, and has been repeated
ly recognized by Congress in its
enactment of special exemption
statutes.
The present legislative pro-
posals seek to amend the con-
flicts of interest laws to facili-
tate both the recruitment and
subsequent maintenance of posi-
ton in the Federal Government.
The proposed amendments deal
with such areas as bribery of
public officials and witnesses;
activities of officers and en-
ployees in claims against and
other matters affecting the
Government; acts procuring
loans; offers to procure ap-
pointive office; and, acceptance
or solicitation to obtain such ap-
pointive public office.
Indeed, these are all areas in
which statutory law must keep
abreast of current develop
ments. / hold with Grover
Cleveland that a public office
is a public trust" and we have
every right to expect of our
public servants high standards
of morality, integrity, and excel.
lence. Concurrently, we must
secure both a Strengthening and
an increase in the incentives for
Government service. 1t is my
firm conviction that these pro-
posed a m e n d m ents will
strengthen and implement the
criminal laws dealing with con-
flicts of interest, will promote
ethics in the Federal Govern

ment, and will encourage and
facilitate greater numbers of
qualified individuals to hold
Government positions.
This legislation is urgently
needed and l can assure you it
will have my strong support
when it is debated and comes to
a vote in the Congress. @9tt

years leader in the worship
of village gods in a hill dis
trict of North India. When his
hour of trial came. in the
sickness and death of his wife.
his gods failed him. He dccid-

Of whom he had heard. So
Daulat Singh went to the near

After some months. nc found
peace and became ChriSt's de-
voted one. 1t was not long be-
fore he desired to tell others
Of his peace and love. But
how? Going to the minister of
the local church, he laid bare
his heart and asked: How can
help to tell others of Christ,
] cannot preach or teach" Said
tie minister. you can sing
Let us see IL we can put the
stories of Jesus into songs"
So Daulat. still using his
tambourine. visited village
homes and sang new words of
faith. love, and cheer. using
the old tunes. When we called
with him at home. the greet
ing was. "Daulat. will you
sing for u.s." His answer was.
"Yes. I'll sing and tell you of
Jesus"
Our Father. may we be ready
always to witness for our Lord
in ways open to us. Help us
to tell Of the love Of Christ as
best we can--in our everyday
