UnmentionobIe

The Speech-making at Saturday
nights Democratic rally was in the best
partisan tradition. The past was re-
viewed with pride and the future ap-
praised with hope. If the political op-
position ever did anything worthwhile,
it evidently escaped the notice of the
Democratic orators. After all, the party
faithful had not Shelled out $100 plate
to hear about the virtues, if any, OF
the G. o. P.
We were especially interested in the
remarks of President Kennedy. He linked
the major programs of his adminiStra-
tion with those of former Democratic
reSidentS-Woodrow Wilson, Franklin
D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. He
also remarked that in determining that
the United States will not be second in
space, 1--WE follow Thomas Jefferson
who sent Lewis and Clark to explore
the Northwest"
The President, however, did not
allude to other areas in which his ad-
ministration, as well as those that pre-
ceded it, would have no desire to follow
Thomas Jefferson. Particularly, we have
in mind Jefferson statement as quoted
by G. Northcote Parkinson in his little
book, "The Law and The Profits" Mr..
Jefferson commented as follows:
I place economy among the first and most
important virtues, and public debt as the
greatest of dangers to be feared Z. To pre-
serve our independence, we must not let our
rulers load us with public debt I. We must
make our choice between economy and liberty
or profuSion and SerVitude
If we run into such debts, we must be
taxed in our meat and drink in our necessities
and comforts, in our labor and in our amuse-
ments If we can prevent the Government
from wasting the labor of the people, under
the pretense of caring for them, they will
be happy.
Naturally, while ringing Thomas
Jefferson into the act, there would be
no inclination to mention his views on
economy by spokesmen for an admins
tration which is urging Congress to
raise the national debt ceiling above
the 100000, 100000 mark.

filing charges Of wrongdoing against
IN opponent or election officials. The
proposal has merit.
Under present law, MIR. Thomson
explained, recount may be ordered
by a court only upon the formal filing
of charges of fraud or Irregularities
of some sort. When only vote or two
determines the winner, however, the
apparent loser well may wonder If an
innocent mistake in counting might
have worked against him. Under the
Thomson measure, a candidate who
comes within l per cent of the total
vote Of winning an election would be
authorized to demand a recount with,
out necessity of charging fraud. The
counting would be done under super
vision OF a three-judge court, as pro-
vided under the existing law. Such
change in the law would seem to be
reasonable and desirable.

Cuban Refugees

A letter entitled Export
Cubans?" suggests that Gu
ban refugees in this country
should be sent back to Cuba
to work at our Guantanamo
Naval Base. This proposal is
incompatible with Americas
historic role as a haven for
the oppressed and the per-
secuted. Should these help
less victims of Red tyranny
be returned to Cuba, their
fate would not be a happy
one. Cuban workers at Guam
tanamo do not live within the
base; they reside on Cuban
territory, which, of course, is
outside the jurisdiction of our
Government. Furthermore,
Castro's regime no longer
permits additional Cubans to
work at Guantanamo. Only
those Cubans who are now
employed at the base are per-
mitted to continue in this ca
pacity. This much is permit
ted mainly because Cuba's
shaky economy is in need of
the American dollars which
the CubanS must exchange
for the official currency.
Would it not be more in
keeping with the principles
and traditions of our repub-
lie to welcome these unfor-
tunate and homeless refugees
into our land of freedom and
opportunity?

Caribbean Evolution

Judging by the public acclamation
in Santo Domingo and the official reac-
tion in Washington, the latest turn of
political events in the Dominican Re
public appears to be one for the better
AS of now, governmental authority is in
the hands of newly sworn-in President
Rafael Bonnelly, 57-year-old scholar
and diplomat, and a Seven-man Council
of State. Standing behind this leader
ship, and in fact credited with bringing
it to power after diSplacing right-wing
military junta that had held control for
only two days, is group of young Do
whom received their military training in
the United States.
News stories from Santo Domingo
reported that carnival-like celebrations
welcomed DR.. Bonnelly's Swearing-in
and removal of the brief threat that the
island republic once more was destined
for rule by military dictatorship of the
extreme right. DR.. Bonnelly, one of the
founders of the National Civic Union
which has been campaigning for demo-
cratic civilian government, has been de-
scribed as liberal opposed to the ex-
tren1es of both right and left. In prom
Using to expedite various forms of econ
omic aid to the Caribbean country, our
own State Department expressed itself
as Every gratified" by the counter-coup
and referred to the Bonnelly regime as
constitutional government"
No doubt there is much to be done,
and even to be learned, in the Domini-
can Republic before truly democratic
government can be securely established.
The Dominicans themselves have had
little opportunity for more than gen.
Grafton past to gain experience in poll
tical freedom or in the administration
of democratic government. For many,
the only recognized alternatives have
been military dictatorship or anarchy
marked by violence in the streets. Per-
haps neither of these dangers has yet
been fully eliminated, but there is evil
dence that step by step more respon-
sible and understanding political con-
sciousness is coming to power.

Infants and Immiqronts

California's Governor Pat Brown,
who talks like candidate for re-
election without actually admitting it,
is less reticent about a new "war
between the States" In this case the
war is between California and New York
for the label of biggest population
wiSe) State in the Union, and Mr..
Brown already has designated Decem-
ber 81, 1862, as V-for-V Victory Day. Mr.
Brown and his statistical staff are
counting on infants and immigrants to
win this one, and the Governor already
has promised to celebrate with "the
biggest party the State has ever SEEN"
There is little doubt the Governor
is on sound ground about the outcome
of this rivalry, even though New Workers
are soothing at his target date. For the
past decade and more, California has
been leading the parade of States in
population growth, and projections for
the future do not seem exaggerated
When California passes New York at
something around the 17.3-million level
there will be reason to celebrate the
biggest day out there since Jim Marshall
discovered gold at Suffers sawmill on
January "a, 1848.
For being first in people means
something more than. being first in
barley, hay, sugar beets, seed crops,
lemons, walnuts, almonds, apricots,
avocadoS, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pears, plumS, prunes, sweet cherries,
artichokes, cantaloupeS, carrots, straw
berries, dates, asparagus, green limas,
broccoli, cauliflower, celery and lettuce
already listed by the World Almanac as
California firsts." People mean votes
and political power - eventually the
largest delegation in Congress and in
the Electoral College and, as Mr.. Brown
says, voice carrying new authority"
in Washington. In due time, the infants
and the immigrants may be well
rewarded.

of it's shelter designs had

Arts Commission, because of

that they were designed with

Why has D. C. Transit been
permitted to evade it's duties

Arts Commission and D. C.

try matter of a shelter, is it
not a sign that both bodies

Postal Deficit

The letter signed .H.S.
challenges your excellent edi-
torial of January 2 support
ing an appropriation of $3.50
million to cover the public
service features Of the postal
establishment. The writer
would have the unwary be-
lieve that the set-aside for
public service activities of
the Post Office Department
should properly be only $l6
million.
The writer neglects to men,
tion that the Post Office is
called upon by statute to
handle many types of mail
upon which no postage is
paid or for which exceed
ingly low rates are charged.
For instance, certain free
in-county newspapers are
handled free by the depart
ment. The cost of doing so,
however, was $16,138,000 last
year. In like vein, much mail
designed to assist the blind
is exempt from the payment
of postage. The postage rate
on. books and other educa-
tional material has been kept
very low by Congress. The
loss on such educational
material handled by the Post
Office last year totaled $22,-
418,000. Moreover, there is a
special "non-profit" postage
rate which applies to the
second and third class mail
of thousands of religious,
fraternal and charitable org
anizations. The losses in
Cured on this worthwhile
mail totals $101, ,958, 900.
There are many other items
of loss which YRS" has
overlooked.
Those closest to the COM
plex postal picture have fin
ally concluded that the busi-
ness users of the mail should
not be required to pay for
postal activities performed by
the department as a public
service" In fact, the Demo-
cratic platform pledged such
a program. Both the White
House and Postmaster Gen.
eral Day intend to redeem
that pledge to the end that
the true deficit" chargeable
to postal patrons may be de-
termined.

School Aid Debate

ErneStlne Matthew's 1ndl-
Gates in a letter that the
Roman Catholic bishops are
unduly strict about attend
ance at parochial schools.
Perhaps they. are too strict.
Yet if American history,
ideals, and citizenship were
disregarded in parochial
schools in the same way that
religion is necessarily disre-
garded in public schools,
Americans might adopt a
similar attitude. In fact,
it is true that compulsory
school attendance laws, COM
plete with penalties, result in
a forced "indoctrination" in
American ideals, but I do not
object.
Her argument that "our
free public schools, open to
all children" entities public
schools to exclusive tax sup
port is the same argument
used to claim exclusive sup
port for established political
parties, churches, and other
institutions including nefar-
ious schemes such as social
lied medicine whereby one
loses all his benefits if he
chooses other than Govern
ment facilities or doctors. To
tell one that such an insti-
tuition is open to all is point
less if he is not satisfied
with it.
Abusive charges, however,
will not resolve this issue.
A program of individual de-
termination based on tax
contributions similar to the
Social Security Act might re-
solve the issue.
Present illogical tax poll
cies are resulting in requests
for unwise forms of parochial
school aid. To keep church
and state separate, Congress
should institute a pIteIam
of student grants or, prefer

'Borroom BH

A number of citizens, who
have not had a full oppor-
tunity to study the problem,
have asked me why I am op-
posed to liquor-by-the- drink
legislation, or as some people
call it, the barroom bill.
Foremost, I am vitally con-
cerned with safety on Vir-
ginia highways. In 1860 over
870 Virginians were killed on
Virginia roads and many
thousands injured. According
to State police, over 80 per
cent of these fatalities were
the results Of liquor behind
the wheel. This figure was
probably higher, as tests we're
not made on all who we're
killed. Liquor by the drink
would enhance the opportu-
nifty of the irresponsible to
make our highways even
more dangerous. 1t seems
easy for people to forget this
carnage and the innocent
victims who died through no
fault of their own. There is
no answer to the fact that
the automobile is used to get
to and from a bar, whether
it be the Ritz or the road
side honky-tonk. Nor is it
possible to limit liquor by
the drink to blue ribbon
drinkers.
Supporters of the bill con-
tend that in three States
deaths on the highways
dropped after adoption of
liquor by the drink. I have
investigated these figures
carefully because if the evi-
dence showed that liquor by
the drink would promote
temperance and safety I
would be the first to approve
it. These statements, I re-
gret to say, are distorted, and
in some instances wholly un-
true. They neglect to tell the
people that while deaths did
drop in some years, they
were not reduced nearly as
much as they were reduced
in Virginia during the same
period.
If ArlingtonianS think they
have trouble keeping beer Ii
censes from being granted in
unWanted areas, they haven't
seen anything if liquor-by-
the-drink ever gets on the
statute books. There are big
profits to be made out of the
sale of liquor, far more than
from beer. Why do people
suppose that such large sums
of money are being spent by
a powerful lobby in Richmond
to get this legislation on the
books?
Virginia now has a model
law for handling the liquor
problem. I oppose weakening
it for the sake of putting
more silver in the pockets of
a few. If it meant millions, it
would still not be worth one
death or the increased haz-
ards to you and your family
on the highways.

with emotions close to the

BUT CATHERINE How
ARD is our heroine for better
or worse, and her execution
in 1542 for adultery, which
for a queen was high trea-
son, is the central part Of
her story. Powerful political
forces wished her dead for
devious reasons, and her ac-
cusation, pre-trial investiga-
ton and trial itself were
groteSque mockeries by our
standards and to an extent
by contemporary standards
of English common law.
But from other contempo-
rary standards the procedure
was meet and just. Mr.. Smith
points this out, and in so
doing reveals his profound
comprehension of detail and
large design alike.
Scholars and publishers are
often tempted to metamor-
phoSe learned books for the
trade by the suppression of
technical terminology and the
elimination of documenta-
tion. Mr.. Smith has had none
of this. He has written a
learned book complete with
all the apparatus. His lucid
style and gift for enlighten-
ing generalization have made
it simultaneously a book for

Pleads for USO

1t is my desire to call your
attention to a pending trag-
edy to the community, that
is to say the potential clos
ing of the USO Lafayette
Square Club due to the raz-
ing of the old Belasco The
ater which presently houses
the USO.
This constitutes a tragedy
not merely because of the
historic value of the prop
erty but the fact that it may
result in the loss in the Wash
ington area Of such a hospi-
table, beneficial and necessary
organization as the USO. The
Military District of Wash
ington comprises one of the
largest military concentra-
tions in the country thereby
creating an urgent need for
the USO. The USO Lafayette
Square Club serving the
Washington area for many
years has to date success
fully achieved its primary
purpose as a "home away
from home" not only to serv-
icemen stationed in the area
but to others as well, includ-
ing many visiting foreign
military personnel.
Thus the termination of
USO in the Washington area
could prove to be diShearten-
ing to many service personnel
and a tragic loss to the COM
munity since it is truly a val
liable asset to both. I sin
cerely hope that favorable
circumstances will occur
which will insure the exist
ence of USO in the Wash
ington area thereby avoiding
the above tragic situation.

Progress Costs a Lot

AS lar dS naClOnal puQgeCS are con-
cerned, progress, wholly apart from it's
capacity to upset and unSettle human
society, can be an enormously expensive
thing. Before the Second World War,
for example, the harnessed atom was
merely dream, but it quite suddenly
became an awesome reality in the early
194Os, and our country has ever since
been spending billions of dollars on it
every year. And even more spectacular
is the story Of our space expenditures.
Thus, until only few years ago, the
United States was investing virtually
nothing, not red cent, in Spatial re-
search and development. Now, however,
thanks to the Soviet Sputniks and the
swift progress made by our own scien-
lists and engineers in this field, Presi-
dent Kennedy, in his budget message,
has not hesitated to ask CongreSs-nor
has Congress been aStonished by the re-
queSt-for nearly $55 billion in appro-
priationS for work in space during fis-
cal 1868. OF this formidable total, bit
more than $3.7 billion has been ear
marked for the civilian National Aero
nauticS and Space Administration, and
most of the balance for the Defense
Department.
A measure of how swiftly our spa
tial activities have been expanding can
be taken by comparing these latest
budgetary figures with those of the past
two years. AS against the $55 billion
requested by Mr.. Kennedy for fiscal 1868,
the total for 1862 was $31 billion, and
for 1861 it was a bit less than $1.8 bill
lion, and before that it was relatively
niggardly. The bulk of the NASA appro-
priations to be voted by the present ses-
sion of Congress will be invested in eff
fortS-efforts that will go far beyond
the impending attempt to orbit Mercury
AStronaut John Glenn three times
around the earth-to beat the Russians
to the moon by landing manned Amer
ican expedition there before the end of
the decade.
Meanwhile, assuming that these ef-
forts will be intensified rather than de-
celerated, many of our experts predict
that Federal outlays on them are going
to mount steadily until they level off
perhaps two or three years from now
on budgetary plateau" of about ST
billion annually. This figure, which is
limited to spatial operations alone, is
roughly equivalent to the entire total of
our national budget back in those days,
not so long ago, when Franklin Roose-
velt's New Deal was considered wildly
profligate and when Congress appropri-
ated only about $500 million year to
maintain all our armed forces.
So it is clear that the scientific and
chronological explosion Of the past two
decades has had revolutionary impact
on our Federal budget, and the taxpayer
is expected to pay accordingly. Yet, ex-
penSive as it has been in that sense, the
assumption is that the actual and po-
tential benefits will exceed the value of
the money invested in promoting it.
Anyhow, whatever the cost of it, the
alternative is to let the Russians become
the masters of such progress. And to
permit that might be to invite our de-
cline and fall as free nation.
