On Soviet Housing

Pravda, the newspaper that speaks
chiefly for the Soviet Communist Party,
has just commented angrily on StatiS-
tic that well deserves angry comment.
AS reported by the Associated Press, the
statistic is simply this: 1S million cubic
meters of living space in the USSR,
enough for more than million persons
by Russia'S low standards, have been lost
through lack Of repairs and proper
maintenance during the past three
years, and the loss represents over 10
per cent of new housing constructed
in that period
In Pravda's words, this shocking
state of affairs is attributable to both
managerial neglect and tenants who
seem deliberately intent upon making
mess of things in apartments poorly
built to begin with. The party organ
therefore goes on to suggest that these
culpritS should be sent into exile some
where, in areas where they would have
to live in tents or mud huts in pre-
dominantly sub zero Temperatures.
This, however, cannot really improve
the situation. If Nikita Khrushchev will
UIlly SWdllOW Ills lueOIOSlCdl pI1ue NdS-
suming he has any,, he will take leaf
from the book of free enterprise and
decree that the whole business be turned
over to private developers.
If that should be allowed to happen,
if the real-estate operations of the
USSR could be taken out of the hands
of incompetent party-line hacks and
bureaucrats, Pravda would certainly
have lot less>to inveigh against in the
field of housing, which is astoundingly
backward over there. Mr.. Khrushchev
could do worse than give thought to
this idea and act affirmatively on it.

PoIitics-Southern Style

Orval E. FaubuS has made it in his
bid for an unprecedented fifth term
as Governor of Arkansas. We derive
some satisfaction from this because we
believe that Mr.. FaubuS is better man
than his ill-adviSed and disastrous re-
volt against desegregation in Little Rock
might lead one to think.
OF much greater Importance is the
Arkansas primary victory of Senator
Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Re-
lationS Committee. Mr.. Fulbright won
in an almost complete tally by 200,722
votes to 110,002 for his Democratic pri-
mary opponent. Prior to the primary,
the word from Arkansas was that Sen
ator Fulbright might be in trouble in
the general election in November If his
primary opponent got from 25 to 35
per cent of the primary vote. The reaS-
oning behind this is that the Chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee
(who could really be SurpriSed?) was
too much involved" in foreign affairs,
and also that Mr.. Fulbright is somewhat
more liberal than conservative From
where we sit in Washington, however,
there is no validity to this point Of view.
We hope and we expect that Senator
Fulbright will be back with us next
year.
The primary voting in Louisiana
this week also ran true to form, and
encourages the expectation that we will
see many of the friends of this Capital
City next year.
BY decisive margins, Louisiana
Democrats turned their backs on the
right-wing extremists who were flying
the political flags Of the John Birch
Society and militant segregation, favor
ing instead mostly veteran list of
Congressional candidates who already
have earned respect on Capitol Hill.
Among these were Senator Russell
Long, nominated for his third conSecu-
tive full term, Representative Hale
BoggS, first elected to the House in 1946
and now Majority Whip, and Represent
ative F. Edward Hebert first elected in
1910 and now his States senior member
in the House. Both Mr. Long and Mr..
Boggs, particularly, were attacked by
primary opponents as having "Socialis-
tic" records, an absurd distortion of
their moderation on political and legis-
lative issues. Fortunately, their oppo-
nents did not even attract enough votes
to force primary run-offs. With little
to fear from Republican opposition in
November, these veterans are assured
of opportunity for continued service in
the Congress.

Student Problem

Recently the Common
wealth Of Virginia has seen
fit to present a citation for
determination Of proper Ii
cense" to several students Of
various universities who are
residing in the area while
working at selected govern
mental agencies. We. as stu
dents. have been informed
that we must purchase Vir-
ginia license plates or be in
violation of the law.
We would like to stress that
we are full-time students at
various universities working
at Government agencies as
summer intern" employees.
And as such, the reciprocity
agreements concerning stu
dents between various States
seem applicable. as our re-
spective legal residences are
outside Of Virginia. We
greatly resent the presenta-
ton of these citations and
wonder if something might
not be done to save us the
obvious expense Of the pur-
chase of plates for a period
Of less than three months
andIo the problem of estab-
fishing new residences.

Broiny Debate

The Senate engaged itself in one Of
its periodically fascinating exercises in
home town" pride the other day on
the subject of where geographically
American brain power is concentrated.
1t all started with Pentagon report
about the shifting between World II
and the 1960S of great proportion Of
defense procurement. Today's pattern
shows California a big leader percent
ageWise in the harvesting of defense
dollars, with New York and MaSSachu-
setts also faring well. The regional loser
during the twenty years has been the
complex of Midwest industrial States
including, among others, Ohio. Senator
LauSche of Ohio, who has an unpredict-
able capacity to fight or be friendly,
interpreted this as an affront to Ohio
brain power, among other things, with
undue emphasis on California climate.
When he implied that California has
been "pirating" Ohio brain power, Sen
ator Kuchel started talking ominouSly
Several other Senators felt impelled,
naturally, to speak out for States that
were smart enough to send them to
Washington.
Nothing was settled, of course, but
we suppose that the voters almost every
where will be receiving texts showing
how their local intelligence is not with
out champions on the floor of the worlds
greatest deliberative body.

how much stock will be

Growing Menace

Admiral Sergei Gorshkov, the
USSR's top naval boss, now has declared
that rocket-firing nuclear- propelled
submarines constitute the backbone"
and main shock force" Of Soviet sea-
power. More than that, he has boasted
that that Seapower is so supremely mod
ern as to be superior to that of amy
capitalist ountry"-meaning of course,
the United States.
Well, Admiral GorShkov has made
these remarks in connection with the
annual celebration of Red Russia's Navy
Day." and so it is understandable If he
has felt obliged to give voice to a certain
amount of chauvinistic and party-line
hyperbole. In any case, our own coun-
try and the West as a whole have ample
reason to react calmly to what he has
said. This is so not only because Of the
blatantly propagandiStic character of
his words, but also because our own
best eXperts-in the Pentagon and else
where-have no doubt whatever about
present American naval superiority, in
cluding particularly our active, on
patrol, tremendously formidable Polaris
nuclear-powered submarines.
Nevertheless, even though there is
good cause to believe that the Russians
still have lot Of catching-up to do in
relation to our Polaris fleet, there can
be no question that they have sub
marine strength of the most menacing
kind. This holds true even if they are
numerically and qualitatively inferior
to us at present in nuclear-p powered
SubmerSibleS. In that respect, it is
interesting and instructive to recall
that over six years ago, while he was
commander of NATO, General Gruen-
ther had this to say: Il can explain
in terms of the cold war why they have
ITS divisions in Russia, 10000 planes,
and 60 divisions in the satellites. But
I can't explain 400 submarines. There
is no cold war value to a submarine. 1t
is a hot war weapon. They have five
times more submarines than Germany
had in 1889"
Clearly, as far back as 1856, as Cen
eral Gruenther then warned, the Soviet
submarine fleet, even though conven
tionally powered, was extraordinarily
large and full Of peril for the free world.
And now, with the addition of rocket
firing and nuClear- propelled units, it
is a fleet that is becoming more danger

No Tax Cut Now

The President was somewhat am
biguouS in his press conference remarks,
but the prospects of "quickie" tax cut
this year are fading, and this, we think,
is ali to the good.
One significant factor was the drop
in July in the percentage of unemploy-
ment. 1t fell from SIS per cent in June
to 5.3-the lowest figure in the past
year and half This is hardly COM
patible with the notion that we are in
or are heading for recession.
Another impressive development
was the Gallup Poll disclosure that 70
per cent of the people would oppose
a tax cut now if the consequence would
be an increase in the Government debt
which, of course, would be the case.
Mr.. Kennedy did not seem too happy
with this poll. A different response
might have been forthcoming, he said,
if the question had been put differently
if, for example, the people had been
asked whether they would favor a tax
cut to prevent recession at some future
date, with rising unemployment, po-
tentially larger deficit and a further
increase In the debt. Perhaps the PreSi-
dent is right about this. But the fact
remains, assuming the accuracy of the
poll, that whopping 70 per cent of the
American people say they are against
tax cut if it means any increase in
the already huge Federal debt. This is
fact which will not be lost upon those
politicians who have been toying with
the idea that tax cut now might bring
them some votes in November.
To sum it up, the President left
the matter about where he has put it
before. His decision will be made when
all Of the July figures are in-which
will be about 10 days from now. From
what is known at this time, however,
we do not see how Mr.. Kennedy can
retreat from his stand against a pre-
mature tax cut.
We think that the tax burden is
too heavy and that it certainly should
be reduced next year. This should be
an acroSS-the-boar reduction, accom-
panied by at least an attempt at tax
reform. This has been the Presidents
stated position from the beginning, and
we hope he sticks with it,

side. This is why Senator
Kefauver and Senator Morse
consider this bill a give
away"
We all know that televi-
sion company owners bonn
bard the American public
for greater profits. AT&T is
changing to an all-number
dialing system for greater
profits. Let no one tell you
that we could not retain the
present etter-dialing system
and use number digitS for let
ter combinations that would
be impractical. But AT&T
doesn't want to use this COM
bined system because it
would cost more money in
its bookkeeping system. True
enough. But how much do
you disregard the desires of
a large segment Of the Amer
ican public in an anticipa-
ton of greater return in in
vestment?
I>say it would be extremely
risky to give what could be
effective control Of the COM
munications system to the
present directors Of AT&T,

in Moscow" evinces a degree
of naivete that to me is in
comprehensive. To use as
weight for your viewpoint a
few words said during a chat
over luncheon shows an in
justifiable lack of discern
ment as to the real state Of
affairs that exists between
the Communist and free
worlds.
Throughout history, dicta-
tors entertaining evil designs
on others have uttered words
meant to placate their avowed
enemies. Has not Khru-
shchev similarly given state
ments aimed at allaying our
fears only to execute an
about-face by the detonation
of a nuclear bomb or some
other less blatant manifesto
ton of his true goal? Let us
not be blinded to the actual
intents and purposes Of the
Communist conspiracy by
insignificant chit-chat.

The Stars recent editorial
Farewell in Moscow" was
nauseating and an insult to
the intelligence of its read
ers. The Star and other
image-makers with a purpose
want us to forget Khru-
shchev's crimes and think of
him as a kindly old social
climber plotting to get on
with the smartset by giving
eight-course luncheons.
The House Committee on
Un-American Activities has
collected thousands of words
of testimony on this interna-
tional crook and published
them in seven publications
called THE Crimes of Khru-
Shchev." Despite his home
spun exterior. Khrushchev is
one of the bloodiest tyrants
extant. He came to power
over mountains of corpses
and his crimes are too nu-
merous to be listed in less
than seven books.
Our ambassador must have
a very strong stomach to
sit down to the table and dine
with this beast. His cruelty
has made countless millions
mourn, and his avowed and
oft-repeated purpose, 1T o
bury u.s." makes him a pretty
strange luncheon companion
for a self-respecting Ameri-
can.
The Star editorial writer
who wrote Farewell in Mos

that Star readers will buy his

Crime as Usual

I say Amen" to your edi-
torial comment, Crime as
Usual" I feel that I can Of
fer further evidence of the
lack of sincere concern for
law enforcement or even law
observation by members Of
Congress.
All officials concerned with
traffic safety continually
point out that speed kills"
and many areas post signs
stating "speeders lose Ii
censes." 1t would seem that
our lawmakers would have
sufficient regard for State
and local laws that they
would not deliberately violate
them. This is especially true
since these legislators drive
automobiles with license
plates that clearly identify
them as members of the
United States Senate or
House. as the case may be.
Last Monday, while return
ing from Maryland's Eastern
Shore on Route so, I was trav-
cling at the legal SIS miles per
hour. I was passed by a car
travelling at a considerably
higher rate of speed and
noted that the license plate
was U. S. Senate l W "a
Western State). The car ap-
parently contained the men,
bers of a family returning
from a beach outing and did
not give the appearance Of
being on any official mission.
A short time later, as I was
driving up the eastern side Of
the Bay Bridge at the legal
so miles per hour. I was
passed by another car travel
ing at a somewhat greater
speed. Due to traffic from the
opposite direction and the
fact that other westbound
drivers were travelling at the
legal speed, this car remained
Immediately in front of me
the rest of the way across the
bridge. 1t was in a longer line
at the toll gate than I, and
consequently I had again
reached the legal speed limit
before this car again passed
me at a high rate Of speed.
The car continued to pass all
the cars ahead of me until it
was out of my range of vision,
which at this point was about
a mile down the highway.
This car contained only the
driver and bore the license
plates of a member of the
House from Maryland.
Speeding may not be con-
sidered by our legislators as a
crime of the same nature as
the knifings, yokinss and rob-
berries discussed in your edi-
torial, but the people killed
by the irresponsible speeding
of any driver are as crimi-
nally killed as if the driver
had used a knife in killing
them. We are often reminded
of the moral decline of our
people being responsible for
the upsurge of juvenile crime
Certainly the acts of these
two members of our highest
legislative body were OBJ
served by hundreds of other
people and contributed ir
some measure to the lack Of
regard for the law in the
minds of some of them.
