Cliff Cook, trying to make

Dark'S major headache was
relieved suddenly when Cepeda,

the boat trip Is long, and
the ships hold, where they
travel, is often very hot.
I usually send crisp cookies
Of the drop variety. such as
chocolate chip.
To keep them fresh and
unbroken, 1t Is important
to cool them on o flat sur

smooth on the bottom. I use
regular cake-cooling racks.
Next, pair the cookies back

Teapot Tempest

Police Chief Murray is something
less than pleased by the activity of
certain senior department officers who
rather openly have been angling for
the chiefs job-contingent on the pos
Sibility that Mr.. Murray would become
executive director of the International
Association of Police Chiefs. When
someone else stepped into the IAPC
job, Chief Murray was quoted as plan
ming to confer with the District Com
missioners about the rush to fill his
job before it was vacated. When he
returns from St. Louis, where he has
been attending an IAPC meeting, the
Chief doubtless will confer with the
Commissioners. But by that time this
little storm probably will have blown
itself out.

Uqondo on Its Own

Uganda now has become the latest
of Africa's independent lands, the goth
since the end of the Second World War.
A British protectorate for the past so
years, it plans to remain linked with
London as a member Of the Common
wealth and as a generally Western
oriented nation that intends to govern
itself on the basis of democratic prin-
ciples.
AS is true Of so many other newly
autonomous countries, however, Uganda
"a sunny, hilly place roughly equivalent
in size to the area of Indiana and ILL
nois combined-faces problems severe
enough to make one wonder whether it
is yet adequately equipped to take on
the responsibilities of Self-rule. BY way
of example, some 10 per cent of its pop
ulation of million is illiterate. More
than that, these people are divided into
% different tribes, many of which have
been warning against each other for as
long as any Of them can remember.
Finally there is widespread poverty OF
the most grinding kind, and the new
nation-whose income depends largely
on coffee and cotton-faces an economic
future that Is uncertain at best.
Nevertheless, just as in the case Of
their fellow Africans who have gained
sovereignty there can be no doubt that
the coming of independence constitutes
a great and happy event for the people
of Uganda. What must be hoped for is
that they will be able to maintain
stable government and economy. Other
wise their new freedom may all too
swiftly become as ashes In the mouth.

Indecent Publications

Local spokesman for the American
Civil Liberties Union have urged the
President in strong terms to veto H.R.
4670-a bill dealing with indecent publ
cations in Washington which has been
passed by Congress and sent to the
White House.
The ACLU letter to the President
paints a dreadful picture. Suppose, for
example, that The Star were to adver-
tise The Tropic of Cancer-that we
were to tell our readers where they
could buy it. The ACLU raises the mel
ancholy prospect that in such event our
editor could be fined and sent to jail.
Our editor, incidentally, is president of
the Associated Press, and as everyone
knows, the APP, not to mention The Star,
wouldn't touch an indecent publication
with Ed Wynn's 11-foot pole-the one
the comedian used to touch people whom
he wouldn't touch with 10-foot pole.
Even more serious, the ACLU says that
the policeman who patrols our beat
down in Southeast Washington, if he
considers Tropic to be an indecent pub
LEGATION, would be empowered to seize
our presses, typeWriterS and whatnot.
We find this hard to believe. In the
first place, we doubt very much that our
patrolman has read The Tropic Of Can
Ger. And if he has it is possible he might
not consider it to be an indecent publ
cation. Furthermore, if he were to seize
our presses he wouldn't have the slight
est idea what to do with them. If any
one questions this let him interview the
man in charge of our pressroom.
All kidding aside, we assume that
the President and his advisers will take

upholding Earl Warren's

Constitution as the basis for
forcible mixing Of the races.

that great hero Of liberals,
Abraham Lincoln, who as
President simply disregarded
those Supreme Court deci-
sions Of Chief Justice Roger
fancy which he found to be
not to his taste?
Gen. Walker was answer

Tshombe and the Como

Robert K. A. Gardiner, the United
Nations chief officer in the Congo, has
Just reported to Acting Secretary Gen
eral U Thant that President Noise
TShombes SeceSSioniSt Katanga Prov
ince appears to have been doing some
rather suspicious things in recent weeks.
BY way Of example, Mr.. Gardiner
has informed Mr.. Thant that there IS
documentary" evidence indicating that
at least lis "mercenaries" are still In
the employ of the Tshombe regime.
Further than that, the Secretary Cen
eral has been told that there has been
taking place in Katanga what some news
reports have described, rather loosely,
as a major build-up" Of air power.
All of this quite obviously gives the
impression, whether intended or not,
that Mr. TShombe may be diShonoring
his pledge to cooperate with the U. MS
plan for a national reconciliation to
reunite his province with the rest Of the
Congo under federal or confederal
system of government. However, in fair
ness to Katanga's able pro- Western lead
er, a number of considerations ought to
be kept clearly in mind.
One of these is that lis "merce-
naries" can hardly be regarded, poten-
TALLY or otherwise, as a threat to either
the United Nations or Premier Adoula's
central government" in Leopoldville.
And another fact is this: That the major
build-up" Of President Tshombe's air
power apparently involves little more
than the acquisition of some IS quite
unimpressive airplanes that could con-
stitute no military threat whatever as
compared to the jet combat aircraft
available to the U. N.
In these circumstances, 1t seems to
lis that Mr. Gardeners report is scarcely
alarming. Certainly, If 1t is designed to
justify new U. N. pressures at this time
against Katanga, it ought to be shelved
as a piece of misguided propaganda.
At any rate, as of now, there Is reason
to believe that Mr.. Tshombe still favors
the reconciliation plan. But he has had
some past experience that makes him
want firm guarantees as regards the
liberty of his own person and the pre-
else nature of the constitution that Is
supposed to establish Congolese fed
Grafton within which the people Of Ka-
tanga would have large measure OF
autonomy.
Mr.. Tshombe is therefore on sound
ground, and hurting nobody, when he
asks for the appropriate guarantees.
Certainly he is entitled to be assured
against whimsical arrest and detention.
Above all, he is quite right, before he
commits himself 1rrevocably, when he
demands to see the text Of the federal
constitution that is supposed to make
Katanga an integral part of the Congo
Republic.
Why is it that Mr.. Tshombe has
not been shown this text thus far? Why
has there been such seeming Secretive-
ness about 1t on the part of the U. N.
and the Adoula regime? The questions
speak for themselves.

The de tention Of Gen.
Walker highlights a feature
of our society of which most
people are not fully aware,
namely the crucial position
now held by psychiatrists. A
generation or so ago some
who felt that our judicial
system should be improved
suggested that various ex-
perts advise judges before
judgments were passed. On
the basis Of this suggestion,
the psychiatrists have moved
in. A visit to any criminal
court will reveal that they
are the key men in our So
ciety. The judge does not
merely turn to them for ad-
vice.
If the psychiatrist decides
that a defendant is sick, the
psychiatrist in effect takes
over. Soon the former pa
tent Is back on the streets,
brazenly confident that he
will never be punished for
his criminal acts. Rocket
ing crime rates show that,
except for a few well-trav-
eled streets during a few
hours Of the day, law-abid-
ing citizens walk in constant
danger of assault and death;
even in their homes they are
not safe. On the other hand,
by means Of a psychiatrist's
statement any citizen can be
seized and confined indefi-
nitely, virtually beyond the
reaches of the law and the
courts.
Yet one cannot really
blame the psychiatrist for
having moved into his pres
ent position. He has merely
filled a vacuum caused by a
steady deterioration Of ma
tional will, a reflection Of the
increased reluctance Of indi-
viduals to make their own
decisions.
With the job of decision
making passed on to the psy-
chiatriStS, the vital question
is: Are their decisions better
than those. of the informed
citizen, the Judge? The facts
are that despite decades of
constant claims of imminent
bre a kthroughs, psychiatry
still knows little of the work.

Robertson to the Rescue

When a starting team boys down,
the prudent coach looks to his bench.
Thus the Senate, at the behest Of
Quarterback Byrd Of West Virginia, sent
Fullback Robertson Of Virginia into the
game last night to break up the inane
A impasse among Senate conferees on
the District appropriations bill. And
high time.
The only issue, as anyone remotely
interested knows by now, was the logged
determination of four Senate conferees
to impose some kird Of condition on
the Districts use of 100000 appro-
priation to start the construction OF
new Potomac River bridge near the
Three Sisters Islands. Their feelings, as
nearly as we can make it out, is that
contrary to all traffic estimates and
the best judgment of the District High
way Department, the National Capital
Planning Commission, the Federal Bu-
reau of Public Roads and most of the
experts in Virginia, maybe the bridge
is not needed. They are not sure. They
Just say maybe. Wait, they say, until
the National Capital Transportation
Agency makes It's proposals a few weeks
from now for rapid transit system.
~ The ironical part Of the whole silly
business, however, is that the so-called
restrictive language which these mis-
guided Senators succeeded in writing
into the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee report on the District budget
had very little meaning anyway. 1t
would not have halted planning for the
bridge. 1t merely said that construction
should not start II either Of the con-
gressional appropriations committees
should take positive action-presumably
based on the Meta report-before next
March to forbid it. Well, the Com
misSioners now say they will carefully
review the transit report before pro-
ceeding. But the practical consideration
is that actual construction could not
start before next March in any event.
And If the Meta report should present
a truly substantial case against the
bridge, which we do not anticipate at
this time, there will be ample time for
Congress, the Commissioners, news
papers and the community at large to
rise up In wrath against the project.
This, in brief, is the background
against which four Senators had sue
ceeded until last night in delaying final
congressional action on the entire APP
preparation which the District needs
to keep alive for the remainder Of this
fiscal year. Senator Robertson, who
happens to believe that cloud Of con-
fusion should not needlessly be thrown
over the Three Sisters project at this
time, has performed valuable service
by breaking the Senate deadlock And
Representative hatcher and his fellow
conferees from the House, who happen
to feel the same way, deserve no less
applause for holding the line on the
bridge controversy until the Senator
arrived.

commended for its editorial:
General Walker Insane?".
The Justice Department in
attempting to ensure the civil
liberties of one man, James
Meredith, has run rough shod
over the civil liberties of an
other man, General Walker.
1t is unthinkable that a
United States judge would
sign papers for the commit
ment of a man he has never
seen! I have no sympathy
for General Walkers ideol-
ogy or his behavior. But I
do believe that the Justice
Department should ensure
the civil liberties of all citi-
ZenS.
We do a great deal Of

and Asian nations think Of
