Contests GSA Move

According to The Star,
there is a shocking disregard
for contract in the news
item concerning the condem-
nation suit by the General
Services Administration Ito
acquire one of Washington's
largest privately owned Of
flee buildings"
The excuse" for the viola
ton of a new four-month-
old lease, was that it was
proper" and that it would
save money for the Govern
ment."
The implications in such
impending force by govern
mental action in abrogating
a solemn contract must be
painfully clear to all prop
erty owners. But Just to
make sure we understand
what this legal" action por-
tends, listen to the French
economist and statesman,
Frederic Bastiat, who said
(1850):
Sometimes the law de-
tends plunder and partici-
pates in it. Thus, the bene-
ficiaries are spared the
shame, danger, and scruple
which their acts would other
wise involve. Sometimes the
law places the whole appara-
tus of judges, police, prisons,
and gendarmes at the service
Of the plunderers, and treats
the victim, when he defends
himself. as the criminal. In
short, there is a legal plum
der.
Legal plunder may be
identified quite simply. If
the law takes from some
persons what belongs to
them, and gives it to other
persons to whom it does not
belong; if the law benefits
one citizen at the expense
of another by doing what
the citizen himself cannot do
without committing a crime
1. that is legal plunder.
Law is organized justice,
but when justice is organized
by law-that is by force-it
would inevitably destroy the
essential organization.
There is one choice be-
fore us: This question Of
legal plunder must be settled
once and for all, and there
are only three ways to settle
it: Cd The few plunder. the
many. (2) Everybody plum
ders everybody. 90 Nobody
plumbers anybody. We must
make our choice among linn
tied plunder, universal plum
der and no plunder. The law
can follow only one of these
three"
If a contract made in good
faith can be cancelled be-
cause of legal action (plun-
der?), why should anyone
sign a contract? without
honesty and integrity to in
sure the continuance and
good faith in contracts there
can be no real progress for
mankind. For, what was
once earned, sure, secure,
firm and designed for Gin
tinuity becomes unsure, frag-
lie. fleeting, insure and
ephemeral, and that is not
the kind of base on which
the free. society can long re-
main standing.

WATCHING THE WORLD
Need Seen for Test ExpIonution
By CROSBY 5. NOYE.


point was there the slightest
hint that the Soviet tests
represented a threat to the
security of the free world.
New Note Added
The first hint, in fact, came
in the course Of Mr.. Ken
nedy's statement last Thurs
day-the same day as the
U. N. vote against nuclear
tests. Even in this statement
the President repeated earlier
claims of American nuclear
superiority and the idea that
Soviet tests were mostly psy-
Geological. The new note
was added as something of a
parenthetical afterthought:
II do not suggest" said the
President, that we can dis
miss these Soviet nuclear
tests as mere bluff and blus-
ter. To a certain extent this
does enter into the Soviet
campaign Of fear, but these
tests are no doubt of i'm
portance to Soviet leaders
and Soviet scientists in de-
veloping and improving nu-
clear weapons.
1t amounted at best to a
rather lame explanation of
American plans to resume
nuclear testing in the at
moSphere. 1t did not help
either that it came at a time
when the American propa-
ganda machine, under the
resourceful direction Of Ed
ward r. Murrow, was loudly
lambasting the Russians for
irresponsibly exposing the
world to danger by their
"monstrous nuclear blast
ing"
Should Explain Fully
Quite apart from propa-
ganda or what used to be
known as a decent respect
for the opinion of mankind"
there is every reason why
the administration should
explain its decision as fully
and convincingly as posi-
BILE.
For most people, the deci-
sion to resume tests will
mark the beginning of un-
limited and deadly competi-
ton whose consequences to
the world as a whole could
be highly unpleasant. 1t will
have to be shown far more
clearly than has been shown
so far that the demands of
Western security leave the
President no other choice.
Even then the United
States position will not be an
enviable one. At best the
United States once again
would be cast in the role of a
well-meaning but helpless
victim dancing reluctantly to
the Kremlin'S tune. 1t would
be refreshing if for once a
major policy decision could
be made in the international
field which was not a dis
agreeable decision forced on
the United States by the
wickedneSs of others. It
would come as a heartening
evidence that the initiative
in the cold war was not en-
tirely in the hands of Mr..
Khrushchev and that the
destiny Of the world was not
beyond the control of rea-
sonable men.

Chairman Reports to the Tribal Council

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz.-- "Our
Tribal budget was approved last
week." Paul Jones, Chairman of
the Tribal Council, said in his for
NAL report to the Council Tuesday.
"While Tribal operations have
continued, new programs and COM
mittees have not been supplemented
in accord with an order issued by
my office" he said. 1--WE are now
rea dy to go ITO work through the
initiation of our entire program. If
any delegate is wondering why
things have not been moving in his
area, it is because our new funds
we're not available. That has been
the reason for the delay.
81 am sure that this Council and
Navajo people will join me in a
pledge of patriotism to our Pres
ident," Chairman Jones said. ''If
our nation should go on complete
war-footing,i it goes without saying
that many of our tribal plans will
necessarily be changed or de-
layed."
The Chairman reported that
President Kennedy has submitted
the name of Philleo Nash as Com
missioner of Indian Affairs to the
u. S. Senate for confirmation.
Mr.. M sh was a member of
President Kennedy's Task Force
and he was instrumental in draft
ing the report which makes many
recommendations for reorganiza-
ton of the Bureau of Indian AZ
fairs" he said.
Noteworthy in the Task Force
Report, was the recommendation
that the Navajo jurisdiction be
changed and this largest of all In
dian reservations become an area
of its own. lam hopeful that the new
Commissioner will follow thru on
the recommended reorganization
of the Bureau especially insofar as
the Navajo Reservation is con-
cerned," Jones said.
Mr.. Jones stated Secretary
Udall is largely responsible for
this progressive forward step and
if it means new day for the Nav
ajos and other Indian people, the
administration will certainly have
the unqualified support of the Nav
ajo Tribe.
II am advised that the planning
for the Fifteenth Annua Navajo

ing to schedule and we can look for.

Congress will be in Session at that

pressed theirregrets that theywill
be unable to be our guests at the

tinguished visitors have been invit-
ed and they have indicated they will
be with u.s." The Fair theme this
year is "The Era of Resources

Everything is in readiness for

have been sent out to the schools.
A special effort has been made to

top limousine with an
elevator back seat for the

The plastic-domed Lin

plastic bubble on the back
wasn't put on until 1858.
Now a new model will be
ready soon. The back seat,
along with a footrest. will
go up and down electri-
cally, to hoist the occu-
pants up to where they can
be seen more plainly. In
the past, some short for

been able to peer over the
top of the back seat.

workers lasted only Is minutes.
The company, according to
the Chemical Workers Union,
maintains a total of 403,185
active gas meters in the Wash
ington area. The meters record
gas consumption by a variety
of appliances - furnaces, gas
ranges, water heaters, air.
conditioners and incineratorS.
Service Assured
Robert T. Keith, company
executive assistant, said the
utility is confident" it can
respond to all emergency calls
and calls for essential serv-
ices," such as the repair Of in
operative equipment.
In addition, he said requests
for gas hookups will be re-
Sponded to. Customers, how
ever, will be asked to postpone
requests for ''noneSsential serv-
ices"
Other nonesSential operations
such as routine inspections
and the changing of gas meter
cardS-will be curtailed, he said.
Prior to last nights union
meeting at Laborers Hall, the
unions negotiating committee
notified the company it would
recommend that the locals
members accept a two-year
contract with a 6 per cent wage
increase the first year, 4 per
cent the second year and a
5 per cent increase to be ap-
piled to fringe benefits during
the two years.
No Union Vote Called
Union members, however,
were not called upon to vote
on this union counter pro-
posal. The company's final
offer, made at a bargaining
session called by the Federal
Mediation and Cancellation
Service, was for a 9 per cent
package increase in two years
5 per cent the first year, 31a
per cent the second year and a
p per cent for fringe benefits
during the two years.
Applied to the workers aver
age hourly wage of $2.52 at
present, the unions proposal
for the first year of the con-
tract would result in a SEA-
week raise. The company'S last
offer would result in a $500
weekly raise in the first year.
Some Delays Expected
Union representatives de-
clined to predict what the
strikes effect on company op-
erations would be. Gas produc-
ton at the utility's Southeast
Washington plant is normally
a wintertime function, when
the company supplements its
pipeline supplies during peak
load periods by manufacturing

Witnesses Kept Waiting
Some 20 persons, most of
them scheduled witnesses,
waited without being called as
Mr.. Levathes was held by the
subcommittee throughout the
morning. Hearings were to re-
sumo later today.
Chairman Davis bore down
hard on the meaning of the
backlog figure of 1857.
First backlog figures ap-
peared in 1858 when Judge
Ketcham assumed the bench,
he said.
Mr.. Levathes conceded that
court officials were unable to
find any tabulation Of backlog
statistics prior to that time.
81 assume there was a backlog,
but we have no figures" he
said.
"Who has the figures?"
Chairman Davis demanded.
Mr.. Levathes repeated that
he had been unable to find
them.
Then, you are unable to tell
the subcommittee whether
there were any untried cases
when Judge Ketcham took
over" the chairman concluded.
Mr.. Levathes, not accepting
the conclusion, said there were
5000 outstanding bench war
rants on pending cases in 1858.
Cites Growing Backlog
In 1859, Chairman Davis said,
the backlog increased by 922,
a number twice as large as the
increase in new petitions. Yet
a new petition is counted as
part of the backlong as soon
as it is filed, it was agreed.
How do you account for
that reported increase?" Chair
man Davis asked. 1t occurred
after Judge Ketcham tried II
more cases in 1858 than there
were new petitions filed in that
year, he noted.
Mr.. Levathes said active cases
in need of review accounted for
the bacglog as well as new
petitions.
| Under questioning, the court
| official said rare cases of an
emergency nature now could
Ibe brought before the judge
within two weeks after a ju-
venile's apprehension. Nor
mally, the period is from four
to five weeks. he said.
Time Needed
Officers need that much time
to bring legal and social reports
before the judge, he explained.
There's where a lot Of the
backlog originates-in the time
required for reports rather than
in the number of cases the
judge can hear" Mr.. Davis
said.
He asked how two additional
judges could hear cases any
quicker.
