Retailers Wear Many Hats

The Daily Times Leader, of West Point Miss. pays tribute to retailing in long lead editorial The retailer the paper observes is lot of things to the community In it's worlds First of course, he is purchasing agent He brings the products of this countrys fields and factories to where his neghbors pick and choose according to their tastes needs and pocketbook. Then he is employer. One out of every eight people in the civilian labor force works in retailing. Third he is the major tax payer. And, as if paying them isn't enough, he also has to collect taxes from his customers well. The state has thrust him into the unpaid role of sales tax collector.
 "This businessman has to be more than expert in the complicated field of modern merchandising. He has to be an accountant an advertising expert, a tax specialist and very nearly corporation law year to make a success of his business
 We all take modern retailing, with it's extreme ly high standards of efficiency and service, for granted But we wouldn't if ever had to try to do without it for week or two. The Times Leader has simply given credit where it is abundantly due This is something to consider before sending "outside" for your supplies.

U. N. General Assembly Winds Up Its 18th Session

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. R- The General Assembly wound up its marathon 18th session early Saturday after staying off fi- nancial disaster by approving a S100 million Congo peace opera ton fund.
 The assembly finally agreed on the measure after hours of Wrang- ling and corridor haggling that followed an earlier attempt to get the required tWo-thirds ma- jority for a similar proposal. The final vote was 54 to 15 with 23 abstentions.
 Latin American nations who had opposed to move finally yieled after they faced an alternative of the assembly staying in ses- sion until the financial problem was solved.
 The wrangle over Congo if nances reflected the stormy tone of the session which was high lighted by the Soviet Unions all out attacks on Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and the entire U. N. Congo operation.
 The session opened on a dra- matic note with an all-star cast headed up by Soviet Premier Khrushchev. It came to turbu- lent end with the United States and the Communist bloc swapping bitter charges over Fidel Castro's Cuba.
 In one of its final acts, the as sembly adopted a resolution call ing on all countries to take what ever peaceful steps they can to remove existing tensions between the United States and Cuba.

,TFK and Advisers COncurred in Cuba Invasion Plan

WASHINGTON lP = Adminis- tration sources said Saturday President Kennedy and all his top security advisers concurred in the Cuban invasion plan that fell short.
 The plan was said to have been shaped up starting a year ago by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the Eisenhower Ad- ministration. The sources said the Kennedy Administration review ed and decided to go ahead with the idea.
 Kennedy has ordered a broad review of the intelligence work on the Cuban affair to find out what caused the setback. The President was said, however, to be looking for factual review rather than any action against Intelligence Chief Allen w. Dull les or any other top official in Volved.
 Sen. George D. Aiken R-Vt0, said, meanwhile, "there is grow ing support in official circles for more drastic action in Cuba"
 Aiken, one of the Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who has been briefed on moves by the Kennedy Administration, said that the Cuban situation 'has been badly handled and sadly mis- judged"
 He added in an interview:
 "We just can't tolerate the So- viet buildup of an apparent ar senal in Cuba which would be used against the Western Hemis- phere Nations"
 Contrary to published reports Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Undersecretary Chester Bowles and the Joint Chief of Staff con- cured generally in the under taking. There have been reports Kennedy went ahead over their strong objections.
 The general idea was to have a landing by Cuban eXiles to sup port and supply anti-Castro rebels already in the Cuban noun tains and, hopefully, to set off such mass defections that Prime Minister F'idel Castro himself would topple.

Raising a Ceiling

There is evidence of constructive
coordination of policy-making in the
Governments decision that the Nations
commercial banks will be allowed, after
January l, to pay up to 4 per cent in
terest on savings and time deposits
left with the banks for one year or more.
For while this action is within the i'm
mediate jurisdiction of the Federal Re
serve Board and the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation, it is fitted also to
a problem of direct interest to the
Treasury Departments problem that
was, in fact, one of deepening concern to
the administration of former President
Eisenhower and is of even more pressing
concern to the administration Of Presi
dent Kennedy.
This is the problem of our unfavor-
able balance-of-p position and
its accompanying drain upon our gold
reserves. One element in this problem
has been the flow of "11ot money" back
and forth across the AtlanticNinYeSt-
ment funds which tend to seek high
interest rates wherever they are. Some
Evening star., 1961-12-04

of these funds are held in American
banks by foreign governments and for
eign central banks, but the prospect of
getting higher returns abroad has
threatened their retention here. In
recent weeks, the gold outflow has
picked up new speed and, in announc-
ing the interest decision, the Federal
Reserve Board pointed out that the
higher rate will enable American banks
Ito compete more vigorously to retain
foreign deposits that might otherwise
move abroad In search of higher returns
and thereby intensity an outflow Of
capital or gold to other countries"
The new interest ceiling Is not man
datory, Of course, and 1t will be up to
the banks themselves whether they wish,
or are In position, to increase their
rates. There have been complaints,
however, that the per cent maximum
allowed since January /, 1857, has placed
the commercial banks at disadvantage
IN competition with savings and loan
associations, which have been permitted
to pay higher rates. In addition to
sharpening competition between the two
types Of institutions, lifting the interest
ceiling may result in higher rates on
mortgages and perhaps other long-term
loans. Time and the old law of supply
and demand presumably will provide
the answer to this question.

Woodbridge Death Trap

Highway accident records support
the contention Of Woodbridge residents
that the section Of U. s. Route passing
through their community has become
veritable death trap for motorists.
Scarcely week passes without appear
ance of headlines announcing new
fatalities or injuries in the short con-
geSted stretch between the junction of
Shirley highway with U. S. and the
Garfield Estates subdivision at the
Route 6l0 intersection. The screech of
brakes and tires, the sound of crashing
cars and the wailing sirens of police
cars, wreck trucks and ambulances are
all too familiar and too frequent for
those who work or live nearby.
Despite efforts of State traffic
authorities to reduce the hazards Of this
accident-prone strip, the death and
injury tolls have continued to mount.
Large signs cautioning drivers of a
"congested area" and reducing the speed
limit to As miles an hour have been
erected, and traffic light was installed
at the Route 1913 intersection in the
heart of the busy business section. The
nature of the buSineSs-largely service
stations requiring frequent pulling on
and off of the highway-is such that
the hazards still exist, however. State
police repeatedly have called Virginias
US. /, especially the part in Northern
Virginia, the States most deadly high
way. Year after year the statistics show
a higher death rate there than anywhere
else in Virginia.
recent series Of fatal crashes
involving multiple collisions spurred
Woodbridge citizens to launch safety
crusade" with picketing of the highway
by Sign-carrying residents and the dis
play Of horribly smashed cars in which
some recent victims perished The cam
paign is designed not only to alert
motorists to the dangers Of the road
but to induce the State to take further
steps to abate the hazards There is
merit to the citizens plea for additional
traffic signals at new points Of dangers
created by subdivisions and shopping
centers recently completed Certainly
signs and signals will help-but even
they will be Of little avail If drivers
themselves continue to display the reck-
lesSness which has been found to be the
' cause Of so many Of the fatal accidents
in the Woodbridge area and elsewhere.

To Those on Duty

Army reservists who have been
called recently to active duty, and In
some cases are UNDERSTANDABLE unhappy,
should read and appreciate President
kennedy'S news conference remarks on
why they were called up and on what
service they are giving to their country.
Similarly, they should now be aware
that the Defense Department and other
Government agencies in position to help
resolve some Of the real hardShipS in
volved in this service are making gen.
uine efforts to do So The Pentagon,
for example, has appealed through
various channels to employers and to
communities not to discriminate against
reServiStS or guardSmen on Job oppor-
tunities or on provision of housing for
the families Of those called up. Re-
luctance to hire men faced with possible
Gallup and cases of rent-gouging in
areas near training camps are two Of
the complaints often heard Actually,
in the case of call-ups leaving Jobs, the
recently amended Veterans Re-employ-
ment Rights Act assures these men that
their Jobs will be open to them when
they return to civilian life.
In his own comments on the prob
lem, Mr.. Kennedy made it clear he is
aware of the sacrifice and dislocations
involved when men are taken out of
civilian life for military duty, particu-
larly at time Of no hot war He re-
affirmed, too, that proper facilities and
equipment should and will be provided
to make this service more endurable,
and that the men called will be released
as soon as possible-with hope that this
will be in less than twelve months.
But he explained with convincing
earneStness that these men have been
called to duty because of threats to the
peace which are not of our making and
because Of our Nations commitments
to help guard that peace. On duty today,
they are giving the same sort of service
as that Of the plane crew on 15-minute
alert at SAC base. They have been
called Ito prevent war, not to fight
a war" II this choice remains in our
keeping. AS their Commander in Chief,
he has paid them sincere and deserved
tribute 1t should be understood as such,
as well as being a reminder that they
should accept their Gallup in a Soldierly
fashion.

question of changing world
political patterns. though a
subsidiary part of the book,
is most interesting. We start
with the we'll known picture
of the world divided into
two, great imperial groups
While a third group looks
on. The two opposed lead
ers, the Soviet Union and
the United States are neither
very fond of appellations like
"imperialist" or "colonialist."
but, while neither has a class
lcal empire. both dominate
other nations which are sat
elites in the one case and
economic dependencies in the
other. OF course, it is clear
that a satellite of the Soviet
Union cannot be directly
equated with an economic
dependency of the United
States.
But the so-called "uncom-
mitted" group cannot remain
so. Playing off quarreling
giants against each other
may be profitable if danger
GUS fun for a nation start
ing its first projects of mod
ernization, but a fully in
dustrial nation must of nee
essity have its economy tied
to one of the two competing
world orders. It is of the
most crucial Importance to
the West that the uncom-
mltted third choose the
Western path to moderniza-
ton and not the Communist
alternative. Should India.
Pakistan, Indonesia, and
Brazil follow the path of
China, the Western cause is
lost"
THEORIES ABOUT the
future are essential not only
to the attempt to influence
that future but to a clear view
OF the present. Even if the
Organskis' fundamental posi-
ton should turn out to be
extravagantly wrong, they
will still have performed an
important immediate service
by assessing the present with
such clarity.
And, of course, theories
about the future must always
assume that some things will
remain more or less constant.
The authors admit that it
is impossible to foresee the
consequences of automation.
And so they have little choice
but to assume that auto
nation sweeps the world and
that the Western Nations
somehow preserve their ideals
and their identity"
