authorization bill passed by
the Senate last April. The Sem
ate bill differed from the adj
ministration's original proposal
for buying 500 million in q. N.
bonds to help the organization
out of its present financial diff
ficulties.
Mr.. Stevenson indicated he
was prepared for skeptical, if
not hostile, questions by some
of the House committee mem
bers. He opened UP with a long
prepared statement not only re-
questing prompt congressional
enactment of the authorization
bill, but also defending the
U. N. and the part taken by the
United States in the u. N.
Notes Shift in Majority
THE United States is not all
powerful at the U. NJ, any more
than we are all-powerful in the
world" Mr.. Stevenson said.
But even though the numerical
majority has shifted from the
West to Africa and Asia, our
position in the U. N. is still pre-
eminent. Therefore, the value
of the U. N. to our interests
depends to a great extent on
what we make of it.
eff we consider their cost, I
think it is clear that the cost
to the United States of U. N.
operations in the Congo and
the Middle East is very modest

Rusk and Charlie Chopin
Share Oxford Spotlight

OXFORD England, June q
(AP).-United States Secretary
Of State Dean Rusk paraded
through Oxford in flowing red
robes and black scholars hat
today and received the uni
versity's honorary degree as
doctor Of civil law.
The degree Is the highest the
university can confer on nom
royal person.
Behind Mr.. Rusk in the pro-
cession Of university dons and
dignitaries came Comedian
Charlie Chaplin - similarly
decked in academic attire and
grinning broadly to shouts Of
good old Charlie"
Objections had been voiced
in the university to comforting
on Mr.. Chaplin an honorary
decorate of letters, but the
choice seemed popular with
crowds of townSfolk and stu
dents lining the narrow, twist
ing streets.
For Mr.. Rusk there was dig
nified applause. The procession
ambled through town in bril-
liant sunshine, watched by
spectators clustered in narrow
upstairs windows.
Menuhin, Black HOnored
Violinist Yehudi Menuhin
also received an honorary doc
torate of music and the presi-
dent of the World Bank, Eu-
gene Black, an honorary doc
torate of civil law at the
ceremony in Oxford Town Hall.
The hour-long ceremony with
speeches in Latin was followed
by lunch and q garden party.
Mr.. Rusk, who attended OK
ford 80 years ago as a Rhodes
scholar, already holds an Ok
ford masters degree in philos-
ophy, politics and economics.
The university cited Mr.. Chap
lin for an honorary doctorate
of literature, drawing a protest
from Hugh Trevor Roper, re-
gius professor of modern his
tory. Mr.. Trevor-Roper said
he admired Mr.. Chaplin as a
comedian but felt such degrees.
should be reserved for figures
with more academic merit.
Banned From U. s. Entry
Mr.. Chaplin's classic portrayal
of a wistful tramp in American
silent films brought him fame
and fortune. But an unsavory
suit and his espousal of left
wing causes brought criticism
down on him in the United
States.
In September 1852, while Mr..
Chaplin was mentioning in
Europe. United States authori-
ties announced he could not re-
turn to the United States until
he satisfied the immigration
service that he was a fit
person.
He never returned. Now 70,
and still a citizen Of his native
Britain. he lives in Switzerland
with his fourth wife, Coma
OrNeill, and their seven chill
dren. He recently settled a
100000 tax claim by the
United States for $425 900.
Mr.. Rusk, who was accom-
panied here by his wife, spent |
last night as suest of DR.. Will

and now president of st. Johns.

gether with his wife.
: The wire offered him a post
as assistant professor Of po-
litical science at Mills College |
in Oakland, Calf. Among his |
students there was Virginia |
Foisie. who later became Mrs.
Rusk.
"One takes an interest in
ones best students" Mr.. Rusk
said.
Mr.. Rusk left Britain late
today for Lisbon, Portugal, the
last stop on his tour of NATO
capitals in Europe. From all
appearances, he will receive the
coolest reception of his tour in
Portugal.

| PITTSBURGH, June q
| (AP)-Thirteen inmates WERE

Western State Penitentiary to.
day in q protest over conditions
lat the institution.
It was anyone's guess how
long they would stay there
Prison officials decided to wal
them out. They were on a cat
walk about 100 feet above the
lground.
Six prisoners scrambled uL
the tower shortly after dinner
last night to join a fellow con.
vict who had been on the tower
since Monday. They had
stuffed their pockets with food
Then, with buckShot flying,
six more prisoners dashed
across the prison yard and UP

The whole thing started
MONDAY afternoon when in

climbed the tower, protesting
1.-THE treatment Of prisoners in
solitary confinement.
He said he wouldn't come
down until he was assured q
chance to speak with a State
official.
Once on the tower, the IL
prisoners displayed some bed
sheets sewed together with
this message written on it:
I'VE are protesting brutality
Our presents (presence) is to
support Payne's allegations and
dispute the claim Of the
warden"
Warden James Maroney said
three guards fired two shotgun
volleys into the air when the
second group Of six dashed for
the tower. He said the shots
were intended only as a warm
ing.
THE shots had the desired
effect" the warden said. "They
kept more prisoners from try

Fearful Of a Riot
For a time, prison officials
spent anxious moments, fearful
that a riot might develop among
some $50 prisoners in a recrea-
tional area.
Amazing as it may seem"
Warden Maroney said, they
were all very quiet"
The first group Of six knocked
down a guard while running
for the tower which is sur
rounded by a 12-foot high wire
fence.
With the other prisoners
cheering wildly, the second
group dashed to the tower,
threw q bench against the
fence and "scooted up like

said.
The Warden said no plans

WORTHY OF SHYLOCK

The latest on revision of the crazy quilt
federal income tax system is a plan now
before Congress to enable the government
to get more of its taxes from a citizens
earnings before he receives them. 1t would
withhold 20 cents of every dollar of divi-
dends, interest earned on savings accounts
in banks, saving and loan associations, etc.
If more taxes are withheld than owed, the
taxpayer could apply to the treasury for a
refund There are already Withholding taxes
on wages and salaries.
A depressing aspect of the bill is the
lack of confidence shown by the government
in the honesty of its citizens-it treats
them all as dishonest in order to catch the
few who are.
Tax revision can go one step farther
require that al salaries, wages and earnings
be paid to the government, and then have
the government return to each individual or
company whatever might be left to them af-
ter the taxrgatherers had done their work.
Sounds crazy, but that would make it easier
to deal with a nation of crooks.

RULE BY LAW, NOT MEN

Federal bureaus and regulatory agencies
seek to short cut the relatively slow process
es of the law, and, in effect, gain the power
to enforce Immediately their own decisions.
proposal now before Congress, if ap-
proved, would grant the Federal Trade Com
mission the power to issue cease and de
sist order at the outset Of a complaint,
compelling an individual or corporation to
discontinue any practice questioned by the
Commission, until the matter could be
brought before the courts and a decision
reached.
But this could be very long time in
deed. A case in point involved one of the
countrys leading oil companies. Competi-
tion in the oil business is rough. During the
30'S the company, in order to hold some Of
its better wholesale customers in the city of
Detroit, lowered its prices to them to meet
those offered by competing oil companies.
In November Of 1940 the Federal Trade
Commission issued a complaint that the COM
panys action was discriminatory and in
jured competition The case was in the
courts for eleven years. Finally, in 1851,
the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the
company, agreeing that meeting competition
in good faith is an absolute defense to
charge Of price discrimination.
Then the ETC took the matter back to
court seeking to prove that the company
had not acted in good faith "in meeting COM
petitors' prices The long climb up the
legal ladder began all over and the Supreme
Court ruled in favor of the company again
in 1858 1t took seventeen years to find out
whether a common business practice was
or was not permissible, and to preserve the
right to compete, upon which depended the
interests of thousands of stockholders, the
companys employees and the public.
No matter how good its intentions, in
this case, the Federal Trade Commission
was proven wrong, and had it possessed the
power to issue "cease and desist" order,
the oil company involved would have suf
fered a crippling competitive disadvantage
in a major market for seventeen years, until
the final verdict of not guilty was handed
down by the courts.

TRAGEDY OF CUBA

1t becomes increasingly apparent that
Fide Castro is now but lackey of the
Communists, that he has been used by them
and showed aside while they call the turn
in Cuba. The situation was summed up sue
cinctly by Joseph S. Farland u. S. ambas-
sador to Panama, when he declared that
"Castro's revolution has ended and Com
munist counter-revoution has reared its
head"
This development in the unhappy islands
affairs is substantiated by news dispatches
of ruthless economic control, the looting of
furnishing from homes by Communist goon
squads and the hijacking of machinery in
payment for trucks, guns, tanks, jet planes
and rocket launchers which have poured in
to Cuba. The Cuban people are reaping the
fruit of Castro's misguided course and the
Red takeover.
The takeover appears all but complete.
More and more, Castro parrots the Com
munist line, admitting poor performance.
Though he denounces revolutionary lead
ers for abusing their authority, and threat
ems to purge them, he has lost his arrog
ance.
This island of scarcity is less than 100
miles from our land of abundance. Had Cas-
tro been less the clustering dictator and
more the champion of democracy and hem
ispheric cooperation, U. S. trade so vital
to the Cuban economy would not now be
denied. Castro deserves the mess he has
created The tragedy of it is that the Gu
ban people are also victims of the situation
brought about by his mistakes.

CANCER FIGHT GOES ON

Sometimes it may seem that medical
science is fighting an endless battle against
cancer, that it is a battle in which there
can be no ultimate victory. A man may vag-
uely feel that, though he has been hearing
about this fight for as long as he can re-
member, the stubborn enemy has yielded
little ground.
The truth is that, during the 25 years
since the National Cancer Institute was
created by an act Of Congress, this terrible
killer has fallen back steadily in the face of
the assault mounted against it. Then, only
one out Of every seven cancer victims was
saved. Today, one out of three is snatched
from death.
There is a darker side of the picture. The
national cancer death rate keeps on rising
despite the advances being made. Although
an estimated 600 Americans will be saw
ed from cancer in 1862, another 81 1000
probably will die Among the latter will be
many who might have been saved had the
disease been detected early enough.
The battle is still under way on many
fronts. Victories are being won, but there
will have to be continued generous support
of those carrying on the fight.

1T MUST NOT HAPPEN HERE

The drive to extend government owner
ship of industry in the United States has
long been centered on electric power pro-
duction. While there have been some breath
ing spells in the political efforts to saddle
this costly socialistic philosophy on the ma
ton, it is being pushed again with full
vigor, and it's extension to space communi-
cations is proposed.
1t is heartening to see President Ken
nedy support a bill to charter a 81 billion
private corporation to build and operate a
satellite communications system under close
government supervision. This is in keeping
with the principle of private ownership and
private enterprise as fostered in the past
under our constitution and representative
form of government, in contrast with So
cialism, communism and all other dictatorial
systems.
Let us hope that American inventive
genius will be permitted to pioneer in space
communications for the benefit of all the
people the same as it has in electric power
power development, radio, television, cleo
tronics and every branch Of science, medi-
cine and industry.
1t is from progress, under free enter
prise, that this nation has enjoyed the great
est spiritual and material advances of any
country on earth
If you want sample of government in
control of personal and business activity,
take a look at the concrete wall between
East and West Berlin. 1t had to be built to
keep people from fleeing from socialized
nation to free nation.
1t is interesting to note that those who
favor government ownership OF space COM
munications also favor government owner
ship of other lines of American business.
