U. S. Steel Exports

War on Rats

Most people would rather leave rats
to biologists and exterminators, for 1t is
difficult to dredge up more unpleasant
subject or critter. Unfortunately, how
ever, rats make front-page news when
they appear in large sizes and numbers
on one Of the Capitals most cherished
possessions-the Washington Monument
Grounds.
II is with understandable dismay
that visitors to the Monument have
encountered these rodents, gamboling
on the grounds and on occasion frisking
about like squirrels In quest of peanuts.
Recently a youngster was so badly
frightened by one that his mothers
complaint was brought to the attention
OF The Stars editors. The story ferreted
out was not a pretty one. But II was
necessary one.
II was a story of the encroachment
OF rats, perhaps from the Southwest
urban renewal area, to the grounds
where food and warmth are more prom
Using than elsewhere. The National Park
Service has been battling them with gas
and other devices, but obviously with
little success Now the agency has COM
mitted itself TO total warfare, which is
good news. Total victory, OF course, will
require cooperation Of District govern
ment officials, and we are sure they will
do their part In blotting out this abom-
nation.

Appeal to the Top

Governor Harrison'S decision to
carry the Virginia reapportionment case
Immediately to the United States Su-
preme Court was to be expected - par
ticularly In view Of the 2-to-1 division
by which q lower court held that the
present makeup of the General Assem-
bly, violates the constitutional rights Of
voters in urban areas.
It is well, moreover, that the validity
Of this majority ruling be determined
at the outset. For as long as constitu-
tional doubt remains, 1t is hard to
imagine that the Legislature - even
acting under the threat Of direct action
by the lower court - would voluntarily
adopt a truly fair realignment of It's
seats II the conclusions of the lower
court are upheld, there will be no alter
native but to accomplish this vital and
too-long- neglected reform.
There is no reason to doubt the good
faith Of Governor Harrison in question
ing the constitutionality Of the lower
court decision. Until last year, the Su-
prene Court had Scrupulously and ex-
plicitly avoided intervention in the
political thicket" Of legislative repre-
sentation in the States. And the fact is
that since then few guidelines have been
laid down to define precisely what con-
Stitutes "invidious discrimination" in
State legislative bodies. Furthermore,
in brushing aside any analogy between
the Virginia Senate and the Senate Of
the United States as the basis for deter
mining representation, the lower Fed
eral court In this instance has reached
much farther than most other courts
have seen fit to go.
Nevertheless, 1t Is q strange stand
ard Of equality which permits the Gov
ernor to defend the reapportionment
enacted by the Virginia Legislature last
March as "a fair, Just and an equitable
act" The wide disparity in the strength
of voting representation enjoyed by resi-
dents Of rural areas as against those in
such urban regions as Fairfax and Nor
folk (the practical result of which has
been to subject the needs Of populous
regions to the whims Of sectional mi
nority) is too well known to require
repetition here. In the view Of the two
Judge majority Of the lower court, no
other factors are sufficient in Virginia
to overcome the Ubiquitous effects Of this
disparity. It remains now for the Su-
preme Court to say whether they were
right.

Crying Into the Wind

Former President Eisenhower prob
ably was not surprised that his speech
before the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
drew mixed hand His audience was
approvingly noisy about parts Of 1t =
such as his references to a thirst for
power in our WaShington-but signifi-
cantly silent when Mr.. Eisenhower
suggested that one way to curb big
government would be to rely less on
its generous contracts to business and
industry. There were other occasions
when the applause meter registered
similar extremes of reaction.
Actually, General Eisenhower knows
well, as he indicated, that this ambiva-
lence toward Uncle Sam - approving
his paternaliSm and objecting to his
controls - exists In many other sectors
Of American life. 1t shows up, for exam
pie, in the eagerness of State and local
authorities to receive Federal aid while
resenting alleged infringement on State
and local rights. 1t Is evident in agri-
culture that demands subsidies, but
votes against crop and marketing re-
Strictions; by labor that expects pro-
lection for itself but not for manage
ment; and by educational institutions
that are ready to ask Federal help but
are fearful always Of encroachment
upon academic freedom.
This GENERALIZATION of pocketbook
power is traceable, as General EiSen-
hover said. to Federal policies going
back to the middle 1930S. 1t Is not unfair
to point out, however, that there was no
real reversal Of this trend during the
eight years of Eisenhower Republican
ism - even though the pace or the de-
tails Of augmentation may have been
different. AS a matter of practical poll
tics, Of vote-getting in other words, 1t
is popular.
AS an elder statesman, a profession
al soldier turned politician, General
Eisenhower has turned with increasing
frequency since leaving the White House
to this theme Of emphasizing the old and
solid virtues of Self-reliance and in
dividual responsibility. 1t is a good
cause, even though not one bright with
political promise in today'S world.

Christmas Stamp

OF four-cent stamps at the
post office. These new stamps
are printed with a Merry
Christmas theme and I per-
sonally find them quite de-
lightful. ! don't see why a
harmless and necessary item
OF our daily life such as A
United States postage stamp
should cause such a furore.
AT this time OF the year
when the colorful Christ
mas season approaches.
the stamps seem to blend
into the scene beauti-
fully It is much more esthe-
tic to mail an envelope dur
ing this period bearing q
pretty Christmas scene than
one colored purple with some
national hero's picture there
on. I for one don't know
what all the fussing is about
but 1t just proves the point
that there will always be
some people around who can
never be pleased by anything.

'Unsunq Heroes

1t is a difficult and challenging Job
which Princeton University faces each
year in selecting, from among all the
officials of the Federal Government, five
recipients for the Rockefeller Public
Service Awards. The choices for 1862 are
among the best, for they recognize not
only q high degree Of personal accom-
pliShment In each instance, but, as
whole, the broad spectrum of opportun-
ity for distinguished public service
throughout the Federal establishment.
These are the two essential goals
which John D. Rockefeller Sd had in
mind when he provided for the annual
awards in 1852. To these goals, he added
the hope that Gin recognizing these un-
sung heroes in many different fields we
may very well influence some Of the
young men in our universities to think
in broader terms Of the kind of career
they want" Beyond the honors already
accorded them, which include, incident
ally, a $1,000 cash award to each, public
congratulations are due to: J. Stanley
Baughman, president Of the Federal
National Mortgage Association, Housing
and Home Finance Agency; Reginald
Geary Conley, assistant general counsel

fully rounded individuals who
do and are done to. But all
this happens within the
framework of the historical
development of the regime
seen as an objective, though
surely unpleasant. reality.
Whether Mr.. Lob will be
found despicable is another
matter. Surely he acted des-
picably. But somewhere in
his inmost being he main-
tanned other standards. Given
the intensity Of the pressure
applied by the Chinese au-
thorities, given the fact that
Mr.. Lob not only yielded to
this but helped exert 1t on
others. 1t is remarkable that
he did not ultimately become
one with his actions. This is
what is expected; apparently
1t is what generally happens.
Robert Lob is a remarkable
exception.
IN THE END, Mr.. Lob
comes to a simple conclusion,
one that has been said many
times. Yet we have not taken
1t entirely to heart. Coming
from him, 1t should be par
ticularly forceful:
THE Chinese Communists.
like the comrades everywhere,
have only one strength. They
have succeeded In Identify
ing themselves with and In
exploiting for their benefit
the almost irresistible de-
mand for reform and social
Improvement that is being
made by the hitherto quies-
cent and voiceless mass OF the
worlds population. The rel
alive political, social and eco
nomic merits OF capitalism
and communism are quite
beside the point. Equally In
valid are the facts that under
the Marxist-Leninist -Maoist
system the promises made to
the masses are not kept and
that people are made TO live
under a despotism OF the most
primitive type. The essential
point Is that, until someone
else can inspire more hope In
the worlds masses than the
Communists are able TO do,
the trend will certainly con-
tinue TO favor them.
THE conservatives among
the Westerners, however, still
attempt 10 deny the desire
for change that is shaking
the world. They tend 10 iden-
tify any social reform with
the Communist enemy and
therefore 10 resist 1t. This, OF
course. plays into the hands
OF the Communists who, in
fact. count on the conserva-
tives TO set the stage for rev.
olution."

Senator Abroad

Louisiana's Senator Ellender last
week whipped up what the President
might have called an unfortunate stir"
with his comments on the ability-or
inability-of Africans to handle their
own affairs.
There is some dispute as to what
the Senator actually said, or thought
he had said. A tape recording, however,
supports the claim that he said this:
IF there is any part Of Africa where
the natives have built UP community
on their own and made progress on
their own, have yet TO see that area.
=. What I mean simply is that the
average African Is incapable Of leader
ship except through the leadership Of
Europeans"
These remarks, made while Senator
Ellender was touring Africa, were tact
less TO say the least. And the reaction
was both swift and easily practicable.
There have been demands that the
President publicly condemn the Senator
which Mr.. Kennedy Is most unlikely
TO do. The state Department has issued
what might be called disengaging
comment. And most African leaders,
Of course, are outraged.
But all OF this adds up TO a re-
action which overlooks two things. II
this is what Senator Ellender believes,
he has right TO say it-and this is
a point which should not be forgotten
by African leaders and others whose
criticism OF this country often has been
notably uninhibited Second, there is
the question whether the Senator's re-
marks. II tactless, we're nevertheless
true what he said is true, and the
recO. Iggests that II is at least sub
stantlally true, what is to be gained by
trying TO shout down the truth2

Many people escape from

these are simple people whose
presence or absence is Of no

Robert Lob, however, is an
important person who made
that escape, and in this
sense, he is unique. Mr.. Lob

belief that by so doing he

Red Ruse?

Now, on the basis Of the

of withdrawal (from some

taken), we are to be gouged,
by increasing pressure from
the neutralists, into giving up
what is essential to our sur
