Clearly, therefore, the District Com

Failing that, 1t should make a vigorous
effort, as Senator Bible suggests, to
obtain approval of a Federal payment

both these approaches should fail, it
would be mistake to pursue home rule

No Housing Problem

Americas astronautS have earned
the highest regard and admiration of
their countrymen. They are a select
company, both personally and profess
sionally, and in sense one that has
been adopted into every family of the
land. If there is price to this uniquely
warm relationship, it is that they must
at all times be beyond reproach, that
there be no grounds for judging them
by any standards of lesser men,
The incident of the private industry

center in Houston, raised subtle ques-
ton Of propriety, not one of legality. 1t
has been resolved correctly with their
decision to decline the offer, however
generous or well-meaning it may have
been. We are sure the astronauts will
have no housing problem in Houston,
and equally sure that the public respect
and affection for this group of pioneers
and their families will be enduring.

First Thinqs First

Senator Bible, at the opening of the
annual Senate District Committee hear
ings on home rule, placed well-deServed
degree of emphasis on the need to enact
a formula which would guarantee an
adequate Federal payment each year
to the District.
For the Senator stated the case
with complete accuracy when he said
that under any form of home rule there
must be specific assurances of protec
ton not only for the Federal Govern
ment's historic and constitutional in
terests in the National Capital, but for
the fiscal stability of the city itself.
There obviously is no such assurance

Atrocity in AIqiers

IL would be dimcult to imagine a
more brutal atrocity than the machine
cunning OF patients, the killing or
Wounding of seventeen men and women
helpless in their beds in MoSlem clinic
in Algiers, and the destructive after
math Of the bombing of the hospital
structure itself. This is crime of an I'M
believably cold-blooded nature, an out
rageouS exercise in inhumanity that
serves only the purpose of revealing the
utter madness of those who are so evilly
determined there will be no peace, and
no honor, in Algeria. If this is a measure
OF the So-called Secret Army, and there
seems little doubt the aSsasSins were
part of this rabble of traitors. and ter
rorists, Frenchmen everywhere should
VOW its extinction.
Certainly there are among the
European colonialS resident in Algeria,
within the very population group that
has been most resistant to the impend-
ing liberation of the North African pro-
vince, many who feel shame and hor-
ror at the mounting toll of lives being
taken by those who parade themselves

be fear that this sowing of dragons
teeth will only beget more violence, new
bloodbathS, and the possible death of
the hopes of many European families
that they may soon live peacefully and
safely under new order in Algeria.
But if this chapter in Secret Army
Savagery serves any purpose, it may we'll
be that of strengthening the will of the
French people at home and of President
de Gaulle'S government that his plans
for Algerian independence must be car
ried forward. On Sunday, the people of
France will have their opportunity to
register this will in a nationwide re-
ferendum on the DeGaulle program.
There has been little doubt since the
case-fire was arranged last month that
the French voters will agree, and CRATE
fully, to the plan for ending a war that
has cost France tens of thousands of
lives during seven tragic years. The
chilling events Of this week should make
that Sunday voice even louder in af-
frming the true honor of France.

Senate COMPROMISE

The bipartisan compromise on the
United Nations bond-purchase issue is a
good one. Certainly it is better than the
administrations original proposal. It is
better because it would grant more dis
cretionary authority to the President to
deal financially with the U. N. And this
authority presumably would be used to
exert favorable influence on the sjtua-
ton as regards pledges of fiscal help
from other member states, and also as
regards the payment of special assess
mentS now in arrears-a matter soon to
be ruled upon by the World Court.
Relatively speaking, however, the
degree of compromise involved in the
Senate bill is unimportant What counts,
above all, is the fact that the intent of
this legislative proposal is to prevent the
U. MS financial collapse, and distaste-
full as some legislators may find the
measure, economically or politically
it obviously is preferable to letting the
U. N. go broke. We hope, in the circum-
stances, that the House will follow the
Senate'S comparatively nonpartisan ap-
proach to the problem and enact the
same sort of legislation.
In any event, the debate on this
issue has been Salutary thing. Coupled
with such significant speeches as those
delivered to the Senate by Mr. Jackson
and Majority Leader Mansfield, it is
debate that makes clear to the world at
large, as well as to our own Government.
that there is growing and serious skep-
ticism in America regarding the u N.
And that if it is to function helpfully
in creating peaceful world new and
more realistic approach is needed to
strengthen its procedures.

Israel and Syria

Ambassador Adlai Steven
son. while admitting the
commission of acts Of prov
ocation against Israel on the
part Of Syria, nevertheless
takes the position that
"retaliatory" raids are un-
justified no matter what
happens on the other side.
Mr.. Stevenson, a deservedly
recognized master Of words,
in this instance floundered in
a singular misconception of
terms unless his choice was
colored by the prejudice Of a
perverted sense of justice. AS
a matter of fact, Israel did
neither now nor in 1856 in
dulge in retaliation" imply
ing an intent Of inflicting
injury in return for injury
for the sake Of spiteful
revenge. What Israel did was
engage in "reprisals" for the
purpose Of gaining redress of
a perpetual grievance after
she could not otherwise OBJ
tain it.
To compel an enemy to
cease unlawful acts against a
sovereign nation is a per-
fectly lawful and justifiable
means Of self representation

Presidential Power

Some Of the perplexities
that your correspondents
have expressed over the for
eign and domestic policies of
the administration could be
cleared away by q quite SIM
pie explanation. II it were
assumed that the admins
tration has adopted for its
goal the establishment of a
dictatorship, ruling through
the personal power of the
President, then 1t would be
possible to understand some
Of the most puzzling recent
events:
/. Attacks upon super
patriots" A basic character
istic Of superpatriots seems to
be loyalty to our Nation and
its Constitution rather than
to a personal ruler. There
fore, superpatriotS stand in
the way Of dictatorship and
must be removed by a die
tatorial aSpirant.
2. The a m | n | STATIONS
support Of savage and Com
munistic groups in Africa
may not be in the best in
terest Of our Nation as q
whole, but it has an appeal
for well organized domestic
political groups upon which
the administration depends
for power. $50
8. The systematic encour-
agement Of racial hostilities
and conflict may divide and
weaken the Nation but 1t
increases the power of the
President while injuring his
opponents.
4. The Selectivity in the
attacks led personally by the
President and his brother,
the Attorney General, upon
the Cosmos and Metropolitan
Clubs, while the Army and
Navy Club has been spared,
beco mes understandable
when it is recalled that the
last bulwark Of a free ma
ton against a civilian die
tatorship has often been the
military. The military should
not be antagonized until they
have been purged of patriots
"a slow process.
1t has been the American
tradition that the President
was not the owner of power
but the trustee Of delegated
powers to be administered
for the benefit Of the whole
Nation. However, Franklin
Roosevelt made considerable
progress toward personal
rule. He laid the foundation
for much more progress.
President Kennedy has al
luded to himself as Presi-
dent Roosevelt's heir. It
may be that he is truly an
Alexander who has inherited
and intends to use the means
for personal conquest, if not
OF the world, at least of a
large nation.
AS q continuing campaign
for personal power, admin
istration actions appear in
telligent. diligent and sue
cessful. It is the attempt to
discern a national rather
than a personal goal that
perplexes the observer. II
we would ask not, How does
this new act of Government
benefit the Nation?" but
How does it increase the
power Of the President?"
much confusion might be
avoided.

subject Of nepotism. Appar-
emily he does not want close
relatives to be given Jobs in
agencies where related en-
pioyes are working, nor to

THE POLITICAL MILL
Johnson Sees Civil Riqhts Gain
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Vice President Lyndon B
JohnSon's Anti Discrimina-
tion Award from tn G
American Jewish Congress in
Baltimore Tuesday night
highlighted the fact that he,
though q Southerner, has
been an outstanding pioneer
in the cause of civil rights.
No other man from his
section Of the country and
holding high elective office
has been so honored, in this
writer's memory. 1t is now
almost five years since
the Vice President, then q
Senator from Texas and
majority leader Of the cham
Der. steered through the
Senate the first civil rights
law enacted in almost 80
years. And it Is that act,
supplemented by the Act Of
1860. also handled by Senator
johnson, which has given the
basis for the Department of
Justices actions to assure
to Negroes of the South the
right to vote-the most essen
tial Of all rights in this
democratic form of govern
ment.
Today, as the head of the
Presidents Committee on
Equal Employment Opportu-
nifty, the Vice President is
striving to bring about
further equal opportunity,
not alone on Government
contracts, but through volun-
tary compliance by employ
ers in the far greater field
of private business, and also
to persuade the labor unions
to take a firm stand against
discrimination because of
race. Much has been done
toward the eradication Of
job bias.
When President Kennedy
handed the Craftsmanship of
this committee to the Vice
President - his predecessor
Vice President Nixon occu-
pied q similar poSition-it
was recognized that Mr..
johnson held a political hot
potato, coming as he does
from Texas. That, however,
has not caused any lack of
determination on his part to
do a tough job well. He is
dealing also with charges of
discrimination in the Federal
Government itself. Com
plants in all categories have
been handled and corrected.
Understanding Of America
Accepting the award from
the American Jewish Con-
greSs, Vice President johnson
said: Il accept this honor in
good conscience only because
/ believe it is a token of APP
probation and encourage
ment to those Americans, in
GLIDING the members of the
American Jewish Congress,
who have worked to make the
American dream a thing of
life" His reward, Mr.. john
son said, has been an in
creased understanding and
appreciation of what my
country stands for and must
be. My profit has been a
sharper awareness Of what it
is we offer when we Ameri-
cans speak to the world"
At another point Mr.. john
son commented: II am not
prepared to accept the notion
that racial or religious hatred
and conflict are inevitable.
any more than our forefa-
theirs were prepared to accept
