High IIIegitimucy
Cited in London

LONDON, Dec. 20 (AP).-An
official report today said one
out of every eight babies born
in London last year was illegiti-
mate.
DR.. J. A. Scott, the city's
health officer. said there were
6,732 illegitimate births out OF
a total Of 60,052. He said Lon
don's percentage Of illegitimacy
was twice the national average
DR.. Scott added, however, that
about 80 per cent of the I'M
married mothers were girls
from other parts of the coun-
try who came to the city to
take advantage of London's ex-
cellent prenatal and welfare IA
cilities and to hide their plight
from their families.

Ruling Against
Training Plan
BY the Associated Press

Chiefly to save money, the
Army repeatedly may be denied
authority to put into full eff
feet a key part of a plan in
tended to make National Guard
and reserve forces more COM
bat-ready.
The total amount involved is
perhaps 81 million a year.
The Army has proposed send
ing as many as 100000 reserv-
lists to summer training for two
weeks with high-priority Guard
and reserve units.
Defense Department officials
were understood to have moved
to trim this number to about
IS, 900.
Matter Is Under Study
The Army has appealed, and
the matter still is under con-
sideration, informed authorities
said.
Questions other than money
are involved, including wheth-
er a reorganization 'of the
Guard will be far enough along
by summer to permit use of the
full 100000.
The Army plan stems from a
desire to avoid the troubles that
cropped up during the Berlin
crisis mobilization last year.
These difficulties developed
with the assignment of indi-
vidual reservists to fill gaps in
understrength units of the
Guard and reserve with which
they had had no previous con-
nection.
1t was found that many of
these filters" who came out
Of a reserve reinforcement pool
and did not drill regularly,
lacked the necessary military
skills. They had to be trained
to handle jobs to which they
were assigned, and this held
back the combat-readiness of
some outfits.
To Prevent Problem
AS one way to prevent this
problem from recurring, the
Army wants to ticket 100000
reservists in advance for duty
with specific units in event of
mobilization.
These men. mostly those who
have had six months of active
duty and who face a lengthy
period of obligated reserve serv-
ice, would not have to drill
with those units during the
bulk of the year. But they
would be obliged to join those
units for summer training.
Up to now, the Army has
been sending about 80, 900 filters
to summer camp each year.

A quiet revolution in Govern
ment ACKNOWLEDGEMENT rela-
tons has taken place during
the last year.
Although unions have been
established in the Federal serv-
ice for nearly SO years, their
real impact on Government
departments and agencies has
not been felt until now. And
their influence will increase in
the years ahead.
Until now, Government I'M
ionism was most effective in
dealing with Congress on en-
ploye legislation. But bargain
ing with the agencies on behalf
Of working conditions and per-
sonnet practices and policies
was strictly limited.
Under President Kennedy's
executive order. all this is
changed now. Unions are now
securing formal or exclusive
recognition in many Federal Of
fices and installations through
out the country. In the case OF
exclusive recognition, the
unions are empowered TO enter
into written contracts with
ageScies on such things as pro-
motion practices. work sched-
ules. overtime assignments,
health and safety factors. Job
assignments. grievances. APP
peals. etc.
This has benefited most OF
the unions.
On the other hand, II has hurt
such groups as the independ-
ent National Federation OF Fed
eral Employees, an essentially
conservative group. which has
never been attuned 10 the PHI
losophy Of industrial unionism
The NFFE has announced II
will seek legislation In the new
Congress 10 bar exclusive recog-
milton for Government employe
unions. However. since most
Government employe unions,
including the powerful postal
unions. are all in favor OF ex-
elusive recognition. there seems
little chance that Congress will
pay any heed 10 the NFFE.
President Kennedy's labor
management executive order
also has heightened the activ-
tiles In Government OF unions

Federal service.

rights a long time ago. but the

employe union membership in
the immediate years ahead, and
that the time won't be too dis
tant when employees will prac-
tically have to join one of the
unions In order to get their
grievances or appeals processed

Thus, while President Ken

states that Federal employees
are free not to join unions. the
wiser employees will realize that

be better to join a union.

Miller Prods Kennedy
On FoctoEs' Donation
BY the Associated Press

National Republican Chair
man William E. Miller has
asked the Kennedy administra-
ton to allay any suspicious
that campaign contributions
may have played a part in the
Presidents pardon of John
(Jake the Barber) Factor.
II sincerely hope that the
suspicious which come to mind
in this case have no founda-
ton" Mr.. Miller said yesterday
in a statement, but he called
the facts highly disquieting."
II think it is incum b e n t

Obscene Spectacle

Those who thought the Castro
regime could sink no lower have had
their eyes opened by the latest spectacle
in Havana-the bald-faced bid to
traffic in human beings.
At a mass trial closed to Western
reporters, 1,180 prisoners from last
years invasion attempt are said to have
pleaded guilty. The men then were
sentenced to serve 80 years in prison,
with the proviSo that they could be
ranSomed for $62 million. This figure
was arrived at by placing varying prices
on the heads Of the men, sums ranging
from $25,000 to $500,000, and a COM
mittee of relatives is now negotiating
with the Bearded One in an effort to
purchase the freedom Of the captiveS.
Whatever ones opinion Of this
shameless piece of piracy, it is not for
the rest Of us to interfere with the
effort by the Cuban refugees to pay
off the dictator and obtain the release
Of their loved ones. But 1t certainly
is in order to ask how in the world it
is possible for anyone anywhere to
have anything but contempt for the
grubby, grasping, despicable outfit that
has taken over in Cuba. II this latest
performance doesn't open the eyes of
any remaining Castro admirers in Latin
America, then nothing will.

The Red Rift

Despite some indication that Com
munist China and the Soviet Union are
striving to patch up their theological
and other differences, the chances are
that relations between the two-no mat
ter how monolithic they may be made
to seem on the surface-will be subject
to stresses and strains for a long time
to come.
This is so for a number Of reasons.
To begin with, although they both claim
to be true believers in Marxism-Lenin-
ism, Peiping and Moscow have long been
rather f1ercely at odds with each other
in the way they interpret the murky
dogmas of that dark and joyleSS faith.
Further, wholly apart from theology, the
Chinese and the Russians are quite dis
similar as peopleS-dissimilar culturally,
socially, economically and otherwise
and they have separate and distinct ma
tional interests as historic rivals.
1t is because of such considerations
as these that w. Averell Hartman,
former United States Ambassador to
Moscow and now Assistant Secretary of
State for Far Eastern Affairs, discounts
reports of a possible sweeping recon-
ciliation between Red China and Red
Russia. Indeed, as he has just declared
in a televiSion interview (ABC-WMAL,
Issues and AnSwerS), he regards 1t as
almost impossible" for them to heal
their split, and he feels that the long
run effect Of thiS-to the extent that it
works against monolithic Communist
global Structure-Should mean that the
free world won't have as difficult a
situation to deal with as the years
go on"
Many knowledgeable Americans, in
and out Of the State Department, agree
with Mr.. Harriman'S assessment of the
matter, and so do key figures abroad,
including General Charles de Gaulle
The French President has long been on
record, in fact, with kind Of warning
to the Russians that they must even
now begin to worry about the future
of their Eastern territory as they stand
face to face with the yellow masses of
China, numberless and impoverished,
indeStructible and ambitious and
casting her eyes about her on the open
spaces over which she must one day
spread"
AS for the immediate future, how
ever, Mr.. Hartman has wisely cautioned
against optimistic interpretations of
the Peiping- Moscow rift. Certainly it
does not promise to bring about an
early and large-scale easing Of inter
national tension. On the contrary, as
Secretary Mcnamara has Just testified,
Communist pressures-regardless of the
riffs long-range possibilities-are likely
to increase in the year ahead, and we
must look to our defenses accordingly.

Living With Automotion

Piece by piece, potentially mean
ingful COUNTER offensive against the
initially harmful impact Of automation
on employment is being mounted in
both the public and private sectors of
the Nations economic system. It should
be emphasized, however, that the con-
tinuing development Of automation-a
modern term now applied loosely to
virtually all kinds Of mechanization in
industry and agriculture-is essential If
our production facilities are to be COM
petitive both at home and abroad. In
deed, the fact that so much of Western
Europe's war-deStroyed industrial plant
has been replaced by the most modern
of automated facilities is one of the
prime reasons for that areas strong
economic comeback
There is force, also, to the argument
that in the long run automation will
create more job opportunities than it
eliminates. But in the meantime there
has been abundant evidence of tech
biological displacement of workers in
some Of our major industries-in steel
and automobiles, for example, and in
such other unrelated lines as meat
packing and banking. 1t is this interim
impact that has created the greatest
urgency for compensating action and
which helped draw bipartisan sup
port for the administrations recently
enacted $435-million bill for Nation
wide manpower survey and establish
ment of Federal-State program of
training workers in new skills.
The problem is not by any means
being left to Government alone Indus
try and labor unions are cooperating in
numerous experiments at retraining
workers. One Of the most interesting of
these was announced recently by u. S.
Industries, Inc, itself maker Of ma
chimes used to automatic factories, and
the International Association of Ma
chinists BY this plan, U. S. Industries
has set up foundation to be financed
through company contributions based
upon the price received for sale or lease
of each of its automation machines. The
foundation will be under Joint company
and union management, with profess
sional staff to include psychologists, in
duStrial engineers and labor economists.
All aspects of automation-d displacement
will be studied, with new job training
to follow. On another front, the Cudahy
Packing Company and the United
Packinghouse Workers are collaborating
with civic and municipal authorities in
Omaha on similar experiment which
the Department Of Labor already has
referred to as project No. /" in the
field Of manpower development and
retraining.
AS automation progresses, and it
surely will, the need for human read
justment will continue. But the fact
that Government, industry and labor
all are recognizing the need and are
becoming increasingly interested in
joint efforts to meet it offers new en-
couragement for the future.

Away and Winning

Yesterdays auSpiclouS performance
at the D. G.. Stadium was appropriate
in every respect for the largest gather
ing ever to witness professional sports
event in Washington.
At first there were portents only
Of disaster. Three times in the first
inning our batterS trudged to the plate,
and three times they trudged back to
the dugout, bats on shoulders. From
above the heavens darkened, then
thundered, then unloosed a deluge
which threatened to end the entire
proceedings. But afterwards the skies
frightened Splendiferously, and so did
the Senators. Among the heroes, Bennie
Daniels, the master Of the Tigers all
day, was magnificent. Shortstop john
son, batting 75O for the season, gained
for himself at least small slice of
Immortality by blasting the longest
and the most productive (not to men
ton the firSt) home run ever hit in
D. c. Stadium.
In a sense, however, the Stadium
itself was the brightest star of all.
Superlative for football, the massive
new amphitheater proved no less so
for baseball. And If the playing con-
ditions were not yet ideal, the field
was fully as beautiful from the stands
as ever Griffith Stadium was in April.
We trust that General Quesada, so
critical of the progress only few weeks
ago, has by now made his peace with
those responsible for getting the job
done.
But this is no time for recrimina-
tons. AS President Kennedy commented
after the game. he was leaving the
Senators in undisputed leadership of
the American League-a position to be
cherished, if only for "a hours.

Parking Trap

No better parking trap for unwary
motorists - especially tourists here for
the cherry blossom festivities - could
have been devised than the one which
victimized 100 Of them last Saturday on
Pennsylvania avenue, between Seventh
and Twelfth Streets NV. Almost as
though by design, the abandoned rail-
lined middle strip of the Avenue had
been marked off with what easily could
be mistaken for parking places, the
proper width for average cars and ap-
parently begging for customers. There
were no signs to warn drivers that, what
ever the purpose Of the stripes might
be, they were not for the parking of
automobiles. 1t is not surprising, there
fore, that many motorists fell into the

Of automobiles were towed away, to
the later confusion and indignation of

ton, incidentally, escapes us, for the

the flow of traffic.
Two things seem clear: (1) If park
ing is to be forbidden in the middle of
Pennsylvania avenue, the stripes which
look like parking spaces should be re-

'Gou's Dead

Your excellent editorial of
March 16 entitled "Goa's
Dead" calls to mind a few
singularly interesting and
heretofore little publicized
facts concerning Mr.. Nehru's
venture in that tiny enclave
Of Portugal.
An acquaintance from
Mombasa. Kenya, has for
warded a clipping from the
Mombasa Times Of March
%, reporting statements made
by IL young Goans-refugees
on their arrival in Nom
baSa.
Their story Is revealing Of
many things.
The members Of the group
had resigned from their jobs
and made the decision to
leave their homeland as a
protest against Indian rule
and the unaccustomed cir
cumstances to which they
were subjected hereunder.
From their story: The
salaries Of many Goans in
all types Of jobs were cut
in half with the advent of
Indian rule, and many other
Goans were released" from
their jobs with no other offer
or prospect of employment.
Three hundred and fifty Go
ans were released at one
bank when Indians closed it,
and set UP another bank,
stated entirely by Indians.
More than 1000 Goan fami-
lies were suffering from un-
employment, and about 10000
Goans are expected to soon
apply for permission to leave.
Before the Indian interven-
ton, the salaries Of the Goan
people had averaged three
times that Of the Indian
people. Even the Hindu Co
ans, who had originally well
coined the idea Of becoming
a part Of India, now want
Portuguese rule back.
The group estimated that
about 80 per cent Of all Goans
now want freedom from In
dian rule, and that there is
a general faith among the
people that Portugal will re-
gain her former position in
the territory.
Is it that the Goan people
are ungrateful for the lib
Grafton" which Mr.. Nehru
has afforded them, or is
that there are two sides to
the question Of imperial
ism?"
