Inc country 0c6Ve1 q sign
Of relief when President Ken
nedy by his strong stand
virtually forced Russian Pre-
mier Khfushchev to agree to
dismantle nuclear weapon
installations and remove the
missiles from Cuba-and
another sigh Of relief when
the President announced that
Russia has promised to re-
move from Cuba the bomb
ers which are capable Of
dumping nuclear bombs on
this country. But many
Americans are puzzled. They
are uncertain whether the
Cuban situation Is clearing or
is becoming more muddled.
Cuban demands for con-
cessions from the United
States, backed by Russia in
the person Of First Deputy
Premier Mikoyan who spent
"a days with Castro, If ac-
ceded to, would assure the
continuance Of q COMMUNIST
state 90 miles off our shores,
with Castro at its head,
backed by Communist Russia
and probably ruled by 1t. And
If the United States rejects
these demands, Mr.. Castro
will continue to refuse any
on-site inspection, interna-
tional or otherwise, to see
that all the nuclear weapons
have been returned to Russia
from Cuba and that others
will not be sent to Cuba in
the future. The Russians
have promised to remove the
bombers and Mr.. Castro has
gone along with that. But
they have not yet been re-
moved. President Kennedy
has lifted the United States
naval blockade Of Cuba in
the meantime.
The Mikoyan-Castro con-
ferences in Cuba resulted in
an offer to permit on-site
United Nations inspection of
the possibility of nuclear
bases and weapons in the is
land, provided we agreed to
u. N. on-site inspection of
bases in this country, Puerto
Rico and elsewhere in Latin
America from which anti
Castro forces may be operat-
ing against the Castro gov
ernmeht. This is a slick man
euver calculated to gain
some support-the Commu-
nists hope-at the United
Nations.
Castro Demands on u. s.
This is only one Of q Sc
ries Of demands made by Mr..
Castro and backed by the
Russians. One is the aban-
donment of the United States
Naval base at Guantanamo.
Another is that this coun-
try abandon its economic
offensive" against Mr.. Cas-
tro's Cuba. This country has
indicated strongly that nei-
ther Of these demands will
be granted. And II Russia
demands on-site inspections
in the United States for any
purpose, including inspec-
tions Of any possible training
bases for anti Castro Cubans,
we will demand on-site in
spections in Russia. All Of

Cuban Affair

Today we know that Rus
sia has had quite a time
with Fidel Castro, more of an
anxious time than the United
States has had. The reason
is not far away; as I said
last year, in a letter, Castro
must not be judged by An
glo-Saxon standards nor in
deed by the standards of the
average office clerk. He is
much more or much worse.

Ousted Educators

Many citizens OF Fairfax
County rightly are disturbed
by the actions of the board
of supervisors in diScharging
five members of the board
of education because the ac-
ton condones and fosters po-
nUlcal interference with pub
lie education, and invites
further intrusions into an
area which should be free of
politics.
There is no question about
the responsibility of the sup
ervisors for making public
policy, nor is there doubt
that they must answer to
the electorate for the sue
cess of their policies. Yet,
the public policy for admin
istration of the public schools
is already set. 1t was spelled
out a few years ago when
the county executive form of
government was adopted.
Public administration prac-
tices require that the county
executive be removed from
public whimsy, if he is to
be required to administer
county affairs in a business
like manner. A similar free
dom from political pressures
is required for public schools.
BY statute. then, the board
of education is given free
dom from political interfer-
ence in making school policy.
The board has the duty Of
selecting the best available
professional educators and
school administrators to the
end that our public educa-
tional system may maintain
highest standards.
With Fairfax County's tre-
mendous population growth,
school problems have been
staggering. Yet the record
shows that, under great
handicaps. the system has
maintained high standards,
attracted good teachers and
a nationally-recognized sup
erintendent and staff.
The board of education
should be expected to lay
down broad policy guide
lines for the superintendent
and his staff, give him guid-
ance and support. and pro-
tect him from distractions of
politics in order that he may
give full time and attention
to the enormous problems he
must solve. The supervisors,
presumably having selected
the best qualified citizens to
serve on the school board,
should in turn protect them
from political interference.
1t will seem to many citi-
zens that public policy was
circumvented by the action
of the supervisors in firing
the school board members,
not because they had COM
mitted indiscretions or failed
in their duty but because in
their Judgment they could
not accede to the will of the
supervisors in matters relat-
ing exclusively to the schools.
We may take in good faith
the commitment of the SUI
perviSors that they have no
intention of interfering with
the curriculum, or the in
structional program. Yet, this
instruSion may quite nat
urally lead to further as
sumption of public school
functions. If the super
intendent Is discharged, OF
resigns to accept another
post where conditions are
more acceptable to him, the
resulting cloud might affect
the search for a replacement
and, accepting a less compe-
tent superintendent NIGH
subsequently be translated
into an exodus Of our highly
qualified teacher staff.
So 1t is apparent there Il
more at stake than simply
the political plum Of the
right to let school contracts.
Fairfax County schooI
children should be spared
this possible deterioration oi
school standards, however re-
mote this might be.

Redskins Lose
Two Draftees
To AFL Clubs

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. S (AP)
The Dallas Texans of the
American Football League to-
day announced the signing of
End Tom Brooker Of Alabama
and Tackle Jim Bernhardt of
Linfield College.
Both were on the draft list
Of the Texans. Brooker also
was drafted by Washington of
the National Football League
and Bernhardt by Detroit.
Coach Hank STRAIN signed
the 2l6-pound Brooker at the
Senior Bowl practice in Mobile.
Brooker was the No. 16 draft
choice Of the Redskins, and
was the second Washington
draftee lost to that team in
less than "a hours.
In Boston last night, the Pa
triots of the American Football
League announced the signing
of All-America Tackle Bill
Neighbors of Alabama, No. 4
draftee Of both the Redskins
and Patriots.
The 237-pound tackle is ex-
pected to fill a gap at an Of
fenSive guard position. Coach
Mike Holovak of the Patriots
said previously the two things
he needed most was a tight
end and an offensive guard.
Team President Bill Sullivan
said Holovak signed Neighbors
last night. He said Holovak told
him:
Il told the boy he can be,
and will be, the difference in
our finishing second and win
ming it,"
The Patriots finished second
to Houston in the Eastern Di-
vision last season.

MORE LAWS MORE HEARINGS PLANNED
Dark Shadow Over Sports-No. 6

Senator Heating OF New
York, another who is vitally
interested in the problem, also
wants more hearings. II have
proposed an investigation Dy
the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary with regard to the
inloads Of organized crime into
sports and other legitimate &C
tivitieS," he says. There have
been hearings on some aspects
Of this problem, but nothing
in the depth and scope I be-
lieve necessary to get a full
picture of the situation"
Heating Offers Bill
All Federal authorities agree
that more anti-crime laws are
needed. Senator Heating has
introduced a law aimed directly
at the most damning word in
the sports world: Bribe. An
anti-Sports-rigging bill, which
he worked up with strong in
dorsement from the National
Collegiate Athletic Association,
this measure would make it a
Federal offense to influence
through interstate and foreign
commerce by bribery the out
come of sporting contests. That
would cover any bribe attempt
in sports.
1T is based on the presump-
ton that whenever there is a
bribe attempt in an athletic
contest that facilities of inter-
state commerce have been
used" explains Milt Eisenberg.
administrative assistant to
Senator Keating.
Such a law would enable the
Federal Government to move
into a situation such as ex-
listed last spring when the sec
ond major college basketball
scandal in a decade shocked
the Nation.
Other laws in the works
would give immunity to
witnesses in eXtortion cases,
prohibit obstruction or intimi-
dation of witnesses, prohibit in
terState shipment of pinball
machines and allow wiretapping
evidence to be used in court
under strict supervision.
Law enforcement officers, 10
cal, State and Federal, agree
that the right to gather and
use evidence gained by caves
dropping on telephone conver-
sations would give them a most
lethal crime eXterminator. But
such legislation is not expected
to be passed without stiff op-
position from those who view
it as an intrusion on individual
freedom.
In the final analysis the en-
tire issue rests with the people.
If otherwise honest citizens are
going to continue to support
illegal gambling, then all the
laws in the world aren't going
to eliminate it.
AS Attorney General Ken
nedy puts it: We'll do all we
can. But it is for the people
themselves to decide"
