James P. Griffin, a veteran
official Of the House of Rep
resentatives who has seen
hundreds of members come and
go in Congress for more than
SO years, is leaving this month.

his old associates, came to the

filled a variety of jobs, includ-
ing chief page. deputy sergeant
alarms, minority clerk on the
Republican side and recently
Republican pair clerk.
On rollcall votes the pair
clerks for each party protect
absent members by pairing"
them with members on the op-
posite side Of the question. This
enables members to be absent
on important business without
the loss Of their votes.

times. I guess it might be
true. 1t would depend on the

Seasoned pitchers, perhaps
are immune to visual shock
techniques, but none who has
faced Klu has escaped the
notion that his next pitch
might send his head into cen
terfield. The greater per-

coordination, a lack of good
reflexes. with sheer strength
I just swing the bat"
For the Reds in 1854, he
swung it hard enough to lead
the National League in home
runs with 49 and runs-batted-
in with l41. He has 1,009 RBl
all told, counting 20 this sea-
son, and holds lifetime
batting mark of 300.
And yet Theodore Bernard
Kluszewski never played much
baseball as a youngster. He
was born in Argo, H., a suburb
of Chicago, one of six children
of Polish-born parents. His
parents both died when he was
l8, two years before anyone
discovered that here was a man
with enough baseball talent to
go all the way.
y
I'm my teens 1 worked in
machine shops and I worked in
factories" Ted says. I'VE didn't
play much baseball. We did
play a lot of softball. That was
the game there, then.
I'VE played the slow-pitch
variety. A lot of people don't
know it. but the timing for
a batter in slow-pitch softball
at 80 feet is about the same
as baseball at go feet"
In a way, Klu's career started
like that Of Charley Keller, the
ex-Yankee star. Keller went
to the University of Maryland
on a football scholarship, but
Baseball Coach Burt Shipley
recognized his true talents and
headed him in the proper direc-
ton. Km went to the Uni
versity of Indiana on a foot
ball scholarship. He went out
for baseball, too, helped the
team win the Big Ten title in
his sophomore year and then
left school to start his career
with the Reds.

That career has reached the
twilight stage now, Klu is SO,
His hair is thick and a youth

light touch of gray is beginning
to invade the temples.

I'll be able to play" he says.

Direct Challenge

Heretofore, the Department, in
its voting cases, has charged that
State laws were being admin
istered in a manner which dis
eliminated against Negroes.
Thursdays suit was direct chal-
lenge as to the constitutionality
Of a State voting law itself.
The Federal Civil Rights Com
mission has recommended legisla-
ton to bar discriminatory appli-
cation of literacy tests, asking
that Congress declare that any
person with a sixth-grade educa-
ton must be considered literate
for voting purposes.
If the suit against Louisiana is
successful on its journey through
the Federal court system it could
help remove a major obstacle for
prospective Negro voters in one
of the last two States (Missis-
sippi is the other) in which literacy
tests play an important role in
keeping them off the registration
lists.
1t would thus be a step toward
the Commissions goal. And while
the court road might be long, it
could be easier than the legisla-
tive one.
Evening star., 1961-12-31
Fund Sources

Through the years, however, the
U. N. has been financed in three
ways:
l. For the regular budget, which
includes all administrative ex-
penses, member nations are as
sesSed yearly sum. In the 1940s
the United States paid 40 per
cent of this total, now it pays
about 80 per cent.
2. The specialized agencies such
as those in world health, food
and agriculture, and civil avia-
ton are also financed by assessed
budgets. The United States has
paid about 20 per cent of these
expenses.
8. Some special programs are
financed by voluntary contribu-
tions that are not assessed against
members. The United States has
paid about half of these expenses.
In recent years, however, the
u. N. has assumed a new func-
,tion and this has led to a fl
nancial crisis for the U. N. The
function is that of international
policeman.
Evening star., 1961-12-31
Propaganda Charge

The U. N. action, backed by
the Asian-African bloc, is aimed
at stabilizing the Congo govern
ment, Mr.. Williams said, and de-
serves to be supported.
A more sensational speech, how
ever, was given by Carl T. Rowan,
deputy Assistant Secretary of State
for Public Affairs. He charged
that criticism of the State De-
partment position has been due
to misinformation spread by Mi
chel Struelens, Belgian working
as a Katanga lobbyist.
The implication in the Rowan
talk was that anyone who sup
ported Katanga. or criticized the
State Department, was bribed,
misinformed, or otherwise not
thinking correctly. This infer
ence, of course, drew sharp re-
torts from many people who
never heard of Mr.. Struelens, but
who otherwise disagree with the
United States policy.
The Katangan action has at
tracted comment from all shades
of opinion in the United States,
and if fighting resumes again, is
sure to become a major political
issue once Congress convenes next
week.

Laos:
Dim Prospect

The three LaOtian princes
failed last week to form a cOali-
tiOn government after a sched-
uled summit" meeting failed
to materialiZe.
If the stakes were not so Sc
rious, the story of the three
Laotian princes would make fine
material for aspiring Gilbert and
Sullivans.
Most everything that takes
place in that jungle-infested
Asian kingdom seems to have an
air of unreality about it. The
princes themselves are alternate
ly the closest of friends, and the
bitterest of enemies.
They take millions of dollars
from both East and West, but in
the end, refuse the advice of ex-
perienced diplomats. They agree
that a coalition cabinet is need
ed, but for six months cannot
agree on how to form it.
Basically, there are three COM
peting forces represented by
the three princes. Prince Boun
Gum stands, in a sense, for the
western influences that domi-
mated Laos when it was part of
French Indochina. His main sup
port comes from the United
States, and he is the legal Pre-
mier, with his capital at Wen
tiane.
Evening star., 1961-12-31
The GAIA Cost

So far, the U. N. has been asked
to play this role on the GAIA
Strip and in the Congo. The
United Nations Emergency Force
in GAIA consists of 5000 troops
maintaining peace between Israel
and its Arab neighbors. The
UNEF costs about $19 million a
year, and the United States has
put up about $7.9 million of that
total.
The Congo operation consists
of $1,000 troops and costs about
$120 million a year. The United
States pays about $57 million of
that total.
Both these operations we're
supposed to be financed by special
assessments, but several nations
have refused to pay anything for
them.
The Soviet bloc refuses to pay
for any operation it does not agree
with, and thus pays nothing to
either. The Arabs do not pay to
UNEF, and the French and Bel
gians do not pay for the Congo
force.

support for the U. NJ, said he
would ask Congress for authoriza-
ton to buy up to half the bonds
which are repayable at 2 per cent
over Is years.
Congress probably will support
the move, but many Congressman,
critical of the U. N. in general,
and specifically in the Congo, may
use the bond vote as an oppor-
tunity to vent their anger against
the U. N. and United States sup
port of it.
These critics have long pro-
tested against what they consider
to be United States "subsidizing"'
of the United Nations. And in re-
cent weeks, the Katanga action,
and the U. N. failure to condemn
the Indian invasion of Goa, have
intensified anti-U. N. feeling in
certain conservative circles.
The United States has paid the
largest share in the United Ma
tions, partly because it is the
richest nation in the world, and
partly because all American Pres
idents have been convinced that
the U. N. should be supported to
the utmost of American ability,
whether this be politically, mill
tarily, or economically.

"a definite certainty if Katanga
reneges on its agreement. Such
fighting could split the Western
alliance down the middle with the
United States and a few smaller
NATO countries backing the U. NJ,
and France, Britain, and Belgium
among others, opposing it.
In the United States, critics of
American support of the U. N. ac-
ton were generally quiet, await
ing developments in Katanga. The
State Department, however, ap-
parently stung badly by wide
spread criticism of its Katanga
policy. answered the critics in a
variety of ways.
G. Mennen Williams, Assistant
Secretary of State for African At
fairs, outlined the American posi-
tion-basically aimed at strength
ening the anti-Communist but
weak central government.
