New Start

Speaking informally, at least, Chair
man Mcmillan of the House District
Committee has imposed two interesting
conditions on his consideration of the
Commissioners new revenue proposals
for the next fiscal year
The f1rst-that he will have to "be
convinced" Of the need for a higher
Federal payment and for higher local
taxes-should not be difficult, and it is a
good thing that Mr.. Mcmillan has
summoned the Commissioners to hear
ing next Monday to defend their pro-
posed expenditures. This is an excellent
start
His second condition is that before
he votes to increase the authorization
for Federal payment to the District
from $32 million to $36 million, he wants
to know whether the House Appropria-
tionS Committee actually intends to
appropriate more money for next year.
And that is not so easy to say.
No one can deny that Mr.. Mcmillan
has point For during the last several
years Congress actual appropriations of
the Federal payment have fallen some
$29 million, in total, below the authorized
amounts-despite continued local tax in
creases AS Mr.. Mcmillan is aware, how
ever, any advance commitments from
the Appropriations Committee at this
point probably are well beyond the
reach of the Commissioners-or any,
one else. Past experience has demon
Strated, moreover, that Federal payment
increases seldom have occurred in the
absence of increases in the legislative
authorizations.
Perhaps some evidence of the
Appropriations Committees intentions
for the 1862 fiscal year may be deduced
from whether it approves the pending
deficiency request for a $6-million addi-
ton to the current Federal payment
(only $25 million has been appropriated
thus far), needed to help fill the gap
created by Congress enactment of
Government pay raises last year. Indeed,
until these results are seen, perhaps It
is just as we'll to delay any precipitous
rush into a new round of local tax
increases.
The root of the fiscal dilemma which
has plagued the District for the last
few years, however, is that Congress
has failed to accept the very real need
for city budget high enough to catch
up with the severe backlog of public
works Improvements in the Nations
Capital. If this need now is recognized,
Congress very likely will appropriate
fair Federal payment for next year,
along with an equitable increase in
District taxation. If the need is not
recognized-as it has not been in the
past-things will get no better In
essence, 1t is as simple as that.

Coming: Mdn in Orbit

Our country now has made further
significant progress toward putting a
man in orbit around the earth. It has
done so, in the words of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,
with a test in which the carrying We
hicle (the one-ton-plus Mercury space
craft") has been deliberately "buffeted,
scorched and squeezed aerodynamically
as never before under the worst
conceivable re entry conditions, far
more severe than could be expected in
an eventual normal flight and re-entry."
In the course Of this test, the space
craft" or capsule by an
Atlas missile from Cape Canaveral in
Florida-reached an altitude of over 100
miles and came down, not many min
utes later, about !, 400 miles out in the
Atlantic, northeast of Puerto Rico. Dur
ing its flight it was subjected to terrific
punishment in terms of such things as
pitch, yaw, roll, acceleration, decelera-
ton, air pressure, vibration and fierce
external temperatures amounting to
thousands of degrees.
OOAA1C ANCo "a GAAC VI I1lLS
punishment can be found in these words
from NASA'S advance statement on the
experiment. when the capsule hits the
earth'S atmosphere, it will be moving at
a speed of $4,000 miles an hour. Several
minutes later the thickening atmoS-
phere alone will have slowed the cap
Sule to about TOO miles an hour. Before
it hits the water two parachuteS will
have pared its speed to mere 20 miles
an hour" AS things have turned out,
the vehicle has survived the test so well
that our experts have no doubt that a
man-one of our several Mercury AStro-
nauts-could have taken the same sub
orbital trip and come out of 1t quite as
soundly as Ham," the chimpanzee who
took 1t just few weeks ago.
In fact, Immediately on the heels
Of this highly successful test, three of
the AstronautS - Glenn, Grissom and
Shepard-have been singled out to go
on the same sort of journey in the COM
ing spring. Then, assuming that the
flight turns out as well as expected,
there will be other, more spectacular
experiments that will be climaxed-
possibly before the end Of the year-by
a full-scale human circumnavigation of
the globe, in orbit, at speed of $4,000
miles an hour.
The big question is whether this
history making event will be accom-
pliShed first by Russian or by Glenn,
Grissom or Shepard or by one of their
fellow American AStronautS-Carpente
Schirra, Slayton or Cooper. However,
although this is race of more than a
little importance in terms Of interna-
tional prestige, it is good to know that
none Of these venturesome young men
will be sent into orbit until the risks
involved seem no greater than those of
a test pilot flying new high-perform-
ance plane. NASA is to be commended
for holding fast to that precaution.

we constitute this interna-
tional force from cuts in ma

willing to join US could agree
to take very soon.
I believe this Nation should
explore the possibility and
take these necessary steps
within the U. N. But If this
is not feasible, and if any
power can veto the necessary
constitutional changes. then
we can set UP this new inter-
national army as an adjunct
to the U. NJ, with provision
for its eventual inclusion
under the revised constitu-
ton of the U. N.
I believe it unessential that
any other specific nation or
group Of nations join with US
now or within any limited
time in the future, since,
in establishing such a force
we would not reduce our own
overall strength or the
strength of any other adher-
ing nation. I believe we
should invite all nations who
will join us to prepare a con-
stitution for this new army

These Firmest Props

On this day that honorS him, in a
Supertechnological era burdened with
much godleSSneSS and widespread juve-
nile and adult delinquency of a kind
he never knew, George Washington has
seme especially fitting counsel to offer
all of us. AS excepted from his Fare
well Address, it is counsel that con-
stituteS about as sound an editorial as
anybody has ever written on the subject.
1t reads as follows:
"Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity,
Religion and Morality are indispensable

the tribute of Patriotism, who should
labor to Subvert these great pillars of
human happiness, these firmeSt props
Of the duties of Men and Citizens-The
mere Politician, equally with the pious
man ought to respect and cherish them
"A volume could not trace all their con-
nections with private and public felicity.
Let it simply be asked where is the Secu-
trity for property, for reputation, for
life, If the sense of religious obligation
desert the oathS, which are the inStru-
mentS of investigation in Courts of
Justice? And let us with caution indulge
the SuppoSition, that morality can be
maintained without religion. Whatever
may be conceded to the influence of
refined education on minds Of peculiar
structure; reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that national
morality can prevail in exclusion of
religious principle
"'Tis substantially true, that virtue

extends with more or less ferce to every
species of free government Who that

indifference upon attempts to shake

Tax Suggestion

I invite your attention to a
practical measure for imple-
menting President Kennedy's
plan to restore our economic
well-being. The director,
Internal Revenue Service,
should allow wage-earners
who require autos in COM
muting to their places of en-
ployment, to take full depre-
citation rates for personal in
come tax purposes. This
would Immediately open up
an additional market for
new car sales. In the interest
OF moving an inventory Of
100000 unSold cars. restor-
ing full employment in the
auto industry and restoring
full capacity production in
the steel industry, I recon-
mend that President Ken
nedy direct the Internal
Revenue Service to allow
wage-earners the privilege of
depreciation, which, hereto
fore, has been granted only
to the American business
community.

Practical Economic Unity

Spokesman for the administration
have made good case from the outset
for United States adherence to the new
Organization for Economic Co-opera-
tion and Development In simplest
terms, this grouping of 20 nations of
the Western free world would provide
the machinery for economic co-ordina-
ton and planning of sort which could
create a firm line of defense against
Premier Khrushchev's clustering threat
to bury" capitalism under an avalanche
of Communist competition.
In other words, in the field of
international economics, it parallels in
some respects a defensive military al
lance in which the strength of each
member supplements and supports that
OF the others. In this respect, it is
particularly timely from our own stand
point that such collaboration be
formalized. In the last few years, most
OF the West European nations that have
signed the DECD convention have
reached very high level Of economic
strength and recovery from the ex-
haustion of World War II. At the same
time, it has become recognized that we
cannot continue indefinitely our own
massive expenditures abroad, public and
private, to the point of an every-year
deficit in our balance of international
payments. Economic assistance to
under-developed nations, for example,
is responsibility in which many Of the
now-proSperouS countries of the new
DECD are able to share, and this is one
of the major projects to be worked out
at the council table of the new organiza-
tion.
Fear has been expressed that the
group will turn into some sort of supra
national body by which, for instance,
American tariffs would be lowered to
permit flood of imports. OF this
criticism, it seems significant that the
first member of the Kennedy admins
tration to urge strongly that our men,
bership in the DECD be ratified by the
Senate was Secretary of Treasury
Dillon, who as Republican and Under
secretary of State in the Eisenhower
administration, was leader in drafting
the convention and was Signer for
our Government. Neither Mr.. Dillon
personally nor the Eisenhower admins
tration has been identified as "free
traders" to point of disregarding the
welfare of American industry. Assur-
ances have been given, furthermore, by
Mr.. Dillon, by Secretary of State Rusk
and by Undersecretary for Economic
Affairs George Ball that there will be
no infringement on the tariff making
functions of Congress, and that the
objective of the DECD is to expand
economic activity, including the mar
kets available for American EXPORTS

international army, with
provision made for periodic
additional transfers there
after.
In the revised constitution
governing this new interna-
tional army. provision should
be made that 1t be quartered
in every nation joining in
this endeavor as a matter
of right, not subject to the
changing whimS or needs of
any particular country or its
leadership. and not subject
to the veto power of any
nation. We might insist that
it be empowered to move any
substantial strength to spots
which its leaders or any
group of nations determine
to be in danger of external
aggression at any time.
I humbly submit that, un-
der the inspired leadership
of our President, we can find
the way to couple this crea-
ton of a powerful interna-
tional army with disarma-
ment. We can thus disarm
while gaining strength in the
cold war. Also, we can thus
increase the confidence Of
men of all nations that ours
is the Nation with the leader
ship and the will to win the
peace!

Hooray for Representative

Hooray for Representative

It seems he still believes
that the Government of the
United States is a Govern
ment Of, for and by the peo-
pie. and that what is good for
the individual is good for the
country. Under his plan, the
private home owner is being
given an opportunity to show
his pride in his home and
community, and to raise his
standard of living without
mortgaging his property to
the hilt to do it. And, with
more individual owners i'm
proving and restoring homes,
more work will be given the
small business man in the
community. Therefore, Mr..
Kearns' bill is two-fold. It en-
ables the standard Of living
to be raised while it also en-
ableS the small business man
to combat the recession.

@. Our sun is said to be a

in its infancy and youth?

A. One theory is that a star
is born from a large, nom
radiating (invisible) mass of
gas. This eventually con-
tracts. through gravitational
energy, and becomes hot
enough to constitute a red
giant, visible by the red light
it emitS. This red giant stage
is sometimes termed the in
fancy of a star. In the sew
eral stages of its youth, a
star undergoes varying nu-
clear reactions, and eventu-
ally increases in tempera-
ture to the point where it can
start the conversion of its
hydrogen into helium. With
the establishment of this
process it reaches maturity
as a star. Eventually, as will
happen to our sun, its hydro

Disarmament Without Disorminq

The needs of the world to-
day dictate agreements to-
wards disarmament in order
to reduce the possibility of
world annihilation. The facts
Of our existence, however, as
so nobly expressed by our
President, dictate that we
increase our strength in
order that we may bargain
most effectively with our
adversaries in the cold war.
Sooner or later, the U. N.
must have as its permanent
adjunct the most powerful
army on earth, which will at
the same time be the sole
repository of weapons Of
total annihilation.
The Charter of the U. N,
as presently written, provides
only for the creation of
temporary international
armed forces, established if
and when the Security Coun-
Gil (Subject to veto) or a 20
majority of the General
Assembly agree that a threat
to world peace exists, and
the individual nations pro-
vide their contributions to
that U. N. force.
Alongside the measures
taken to increase our
strength, I propose that we
take steps to make possible
the creation of a permanent
international army compris-
ing forces from every nation

Social Security Tax

I read with some interest
your editorial of February IL,
suggesting the possibility Of
setting a legal limit on the
social security tax that may
be levied against a wage
Garner. Seems to me you are
a bit late in seeing the dan
gers that were apparent to
many people from the start.
When this Nation paid

reliance and independence,
it was expected that every
man would set aside for his
old age. 1t was a good sys-
TEN because it placed the re-
Sponsibility for aged care
squarely on the shoulders Of
the person who wanted to be
cared for. The waSterS and
profilgates wound up where
they belonged-in the poor

citizens" It matters not If
they have been wastrels,

matters If they contributed
one iota to the lasting good

they could get away with. BY
the simply fact Of living
IS years. they are suddenly
senior citizens"
And to what does their
seniority entitle them? Just
listen to Mr.. Kennedy, or
Walter Reuther, or any other
good Socialist. AS the bloc
of senior" votes increases,
so. too. does the politicians
desire to please them. They
are the salt of the earth,
nothing is too good for them.
They've made their contribu-
ton (even II they haven't, it
Is easy to convince them,
they have) and now they
must reap their reward. And
who pays for that reward?
The same fellow who pays for
all political promises, you and
I, the wage-earners and tax
payers.
You expressed the fear that
social security taxes might,
someday reach 10 per cent Of
income. I'll express a fact
social security taxes will
some day exceed income
taxes. And why not? When
a people abrogate all respon-
sibility for their own well
fare and place it in the hands
OF a Super-government, then
they are nothing better than
cattle whose total produce
belongs to their keeper.
Thus the worlds greatest
experiment in self-govern-
ment is drawing to a close.
People who cannot or will
not govern themselves as in
dividuals can hardly be ex-
pected to govern themselves
as a nation.

that a reasonable length of

however, the parties to the

that a definite length of

include in it a stipulation
that time is of the es-

Murdered Missionary

/ wish to express the graf
itude Of the White Fathers
of Africa for the tribute paid
in your editorial to one Of
our fellow missionaries. Fa-
ther Renaat De VoS.
AS you said. the news re-
ports barely identified him.
However, he was called, not
by the European form Of his
Christian name Renaat or
Renee, but by its Congolese
form, Renato. This is how
he was known to the people
Of Bukavu, among whom he
} labored for Is years, before
his life was snuffed out at
the age of As.
No voice is raised In the
United Nations to protest his
death; nor the other mur-
ders, the impriSonments, the
violation of churches and
converts which have oc-
Cured in Kivu and Oriental
Provinces in recent weeks.
Father Renato, however.
does not go unmourned. His
confrereS' grief is shared by
the Congolese Of Kivu who
have witnessed the terror,
the tortures and brutal Ii
quidation Of all opposed to
the CommuniSt-backed re-
gime of Gizenga and Ka-
Shamura.
If Father De VoS' murder
can serve to call the free
worlds attention to these
crimes. then surely his SEEM
ingly senselesS death will not
have been in vain.
