Poor Enforcement

Despite the old saying, rules are
made to be enforced-not broken. And
it becomes more obvious every day that
the rules for relief assistance to de-
pendent children (whatever their merits
or demeritS) have been laxly enforced
by the District Welfare Department.
Senator Byrd of West Virginia,
commenting on this fact, expressed a
high degree of confidence in Welfare
Department Director Shea, but raised
a number of questions about the
operation of the department.. He in
dicated, furthermore, that this is a
matter he intends to pursue. We think
he should. r
Fortunately, the investigative work
now being done by the General Account
ing Office on the aid-to-dependent-chi
dren program should be concluded by
May 15-in advance of hearings on the
welfare budget in either the House or
the Senate. These hearings will provide
an appropriate opportunity to analyze
not only the welfare policies Of the Dis
trict, but the adequacy of the procedures
by which they are supposed to be
carried out

Unwise Memorandum

The Civil Service Commission men,
orandum which, in effect, encouraged
career employees to explain" adminis-
tration policies and legislation to public
groups was unwise, to say the least. This
was a long step toward putting civil
service employees into field Of speech
making usually reserved for politically
minded officials Of the regime in power
Not surprisingly, therefore, the memo
randum brought forth round Of criti-
cism from Republicans in Congress,
some Of whom were demanding an
investigation of he circumstances sur
rounding its issuance. (Its origin is said
to have been the White House) Civil
Service Chairman John Macy has settled
the controversy, however, by withdraw
ing the statement. He is right in his
comment that the memo had been
misunderstood"
The Hatch Act forbids civil service
employees from engaging in political
activities and from promoting or oppos-
ing pending legislation. While the care
fully worded memorandum did not 60
so far as to authorize careerists to
ignore this law, it certainly was in con-
flict with the spirit of the Hatch Act
and hence should never have been
issued.

Noble, but

AS Herbert Hoover once said of
prohibition, the presentation of our new
American plan for general and COM
plete disarmament" constitutes an eX-
pertinent noble in purpose. For the
plan, in President Kennedy'S words, is
the most comprehensive of its kind ever
drafted by any nation, and it means
that the United States "iS making a
major effort to achieve breakthrough"
to decent and genuinely trustworthy
peace.
To that end, as submitted to the
17-nation disarmament conference at
Geneva, our Governments proposals
call for a sweeping three-stage cut in
arms and armed forces of every kind.
Stages one and two would be carried
out over period of about six years,
during which time nuclear weapons
tests would be banned various delivery
systems sharply reduced, and the num-
Der of men in military service brought
down to Spectacularly low figure.
Finally, in the third stage, which prob
ably would require several additional
years for completion, all countries would
guarantee internal order, and the task
of upholding international peace and
security would then be turned over to
a U. N. force so powerful that mo state
can challenge it,"
Meanwhile, to guard against cheat
ing, our American plan, which has been
presented in the form of a 35page
draft treaty, would establish numerous
Step-by-Step controls and policing pro-
cedures. These would include the eStab-
liShment of a strong, vetoleSS U. N.
disarmament authority and system Of
"Spot checkS"-a system under which
the United States, for example, would
be entitled to make sudden inspection,
without advance notice, Of one or an
other of the Soviet Unions military
districts. This would eliminate the need
for large numbers of inspectors based
permanently in all the key nations, and
in that respect the idea is well calcu-
lated to put an end to the Kremlin'S
phony complaint that our country wants
such inspectors solely and simply to spy
on Russia in preparation for a surprise
attack.
Noble as 1t may be, however, this
latest American move to break the enor-
mously deadly disarmament deadlock is
not likely-in view of its inspectional
features Qimited though they are)-to
be acceptable to the Russians. In all
probability, moreover, our own Govern
ment would be staggeringly surprised if
it's draft treaty met with Soviet approval.
Certainly the whole business invites a
large measure of cynicism after more
than a decade of futile effort to per-
suade the Kremlin to cooperate in arms
control real enough to merit the whole
worlds confidence.

Reheorinq Needed

The implications of the recent g
to-1 ruling by the United States Court
of Appeals in the Eugene Campbell
robbery y-conviction case are so serious
that United States Attorney Acheson
is fully justified in asking all the nine
judges Of the court to rehear the case.
For Mr.. Acheson and other law enforce
ment officials here fear that if the
Campbell decision is allowed to stand,
the task of convicting guilty criminals
in the District of Columbia will become
even more difficult than it is today.
In the Campbell case Appellate
Judges Washington and Bazelon, with
Judge Burger vigorously dissenting, re-
versed the District Court conviction of
a man charged with robbery, on the
ground that District Judge George l..
Hart, jr., had given patiently erro-
neouS" explanation of the Districts

Right to Vote

The New Frontiersmen, in
Guiding Federal officials, are
urging that Congress set the
educational standards for
voting in the States. They
disregard the Constitution
of the United States which
nowhere authorizes the Con-
gress to do this.
Section 4 of Article I per-
mits Congress to make re-
gulations as to the time and
manner of holding elections
for Senators and Representa-
tives". But it gives no au-
thority for fixing the quail
fications for voters. Section
8 of Article I, which out
lines in detail the powers Of
Congress, contains nothing
that could be construed as
such authorization. And
Article x expressly provides
that, "The powers not dele
gated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor pro-
hibited by it to the States,
are reserved to the States
respectively or to the people"
How can officials of the
United States Government,
who have taken an oath to
uphold the Constitution, ask
for the enactment of legisla-
ton that is contrary to the
Constitution?

Olive Branch

The gesture of good will which the
President has made toward the steel
industry and business in general is both
timely and necessary. For his angered
performance a week ago, plus the
threatful marshaling of Federal power
against the industry, had aroused fear
of Governmental war which
was bound to damage the prospects of
economic improvement.
At yesterdays news conference Mr.
Kennedy emphasized that "this admin
istration harborS no i'll will against
any individual, any industry, corpora
ton, or segment of the American econ
only." When "a mistake has been
retracted," he added, "and the public
interest preserved, nothing is to be
gained from further public recrimin-
ations." Thus, in effect, Mr.. Kennedy
is saying that, having won his point,
he is content to let bygones be bygones.
And this is reinforced by his added
comment that he is mot unmindful
Of the steel induStry'S need for profits,
modernization and investment capital"
Obviously, this was intended to
treasure, and one may hope that it
will be reaSSuring, to the industrial
community. For while the Government
can win battle with any industry, the
national economic welfare certainly will
suffer in the process. In this complex
and difficult age the need is for CO.
operation, not for conflict. And Mr.
Kennedy'S indicated awareneSS of this
fact is gratifying.

D. {. Representation

On May 10 the ConStitu-
tional Amendments Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee. under the chair
manShip of Senator Kefauver,
will hold hearings on the vi
tally important S. J. Res. IS
which would give the District
of Columbia two Senators
and the number of Congress-
men its population would
warrant If it were a State.
This amendment should re-
ceive the vigorous support Of
all Washingtonians, liberal
and conservative, just as did
the 23d amendment.
The Founding Fathers
placed a defect in the Con-
stitution when they excluded
the District from participa-
ton in Federal elections. This
was partially corrected by the
23d amendment, which gave
the District a vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The
next logical step is to give the
District representation in the
Congress.
I would advocate amend
ing s. j. Res. IS by adding a
section to repeal the paren-
thetical limitation in Article
! I, Section 8 of the Constitu-
ton "(not exceeding ten miles
square," Such an amend
ment would permit Virginia
to cede its Tenth Congress
sional District to the Dis
trict (if Congress approveO
and Maryland could do like
wise with Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
This would broaden the tax
base of the District of Co.
lumbia, restore the white ma
jority of the population, and
bring the metropolitan area
under one political jurisdic-
ton.

Dangers of Smoking

Ishave read your paper for
some time and I like to read
it very much. for I get news
that I cannot get anywhere
else. For instance. recently
you had two news items
headed, Smoking Tie to
Cancer Affirmed, Scientist
Says" and Smoking Held
Peril to Birth" These par
ticular news items I did not
see in the other newspapers.
Keep publishing such news
items.
Praise of smoking is pub
lished all over the place, so
the dangers of smoking
should be published all over
the place. In my small way I
am trying to set forth the
dangers Of smoking. If we had
the money that the tobacco
people had, we could publish
more about the extreme dan
gers of smoking. Maybe, we
ought to do in this country
what they are doing in Eng
land about smoking. If every
body believed the facts
against smoking and quit
smoking then that would be

however, that capacity to exercise ones
will to commit or not to commit a

Disappearing Doctors

There seems to be no question about
the popularity among the British people
OF National Health Service-the English
system of socialized medicine. And
Lancet, a respected London medical
publication, commented in 1858 that the
new system "has done much to better
the conditions of medical care, and it
has been an immense comfort to the
public"
Yet in the face of such glowing
words as these strange phenomenon
has been taking place. For now it ap-
pears that British doctors, by increasing
numbers over the last few years, are
fleeing their homeland
According to the British Medical
Journal, Britain lost TAG doctors to the
United States alone during the five years
ending in 1860. Nor, apparently, is the
expectation of greater earnings in this
country the sole explanation for the
exodus. Over the same five years Britain
lost an estimated 1,071 doctors to Can
ada, 1,060 to Australia, 202 to South
Africa, 1874 to New Zealand, 145 to
Southern Rhodesia and 119 to Northern
Rhodesia. ]. r. Peale, British doctor
and medical economist, writes in the
same British publication that only about
half the emergency surgery in British
hospitals is now being performed by
doctors trained in Britain. Much of the
work in National Health Service Hos
pitfalls, he says, is being carried out by
foreign-born and foreign trained doc
tors, primarily from the underveloped
countries.
AS recently as 1855, Dr. Peale recalls,
. 1t was felt that medical schools in Great
Britain were producing an ample sup
ply of young doctors and that, indeed, a
reduced output would suffice.
From this faraway vantage point
it would be unwise to draw too many
conclusions about the British system.
But it likewise would be foolish for us
in the United States, where proposals are
being made with ever-increasing fire.

Thouqhts on Easter

The Christian can have a
feeling of exaltation and
exultation as he approaches
Easter. This will commemo-
rate the glorious event of
ChriSt's resurrection, which is
the center Of Christian faith.
Thank God we worship a
risen Saviour and not an
empty tomb. Our Lords re-
surrection assures the resur-
rection of those who are
united to Him by faith. The
redemption Of man is wholly
contained in the raising of
Christ. which also assures
the ultimate triumph of
Gods program.
Just as Jesus conquered
death and the grave, so may
we overcome and rise above
the daily doubts and perplex-
tiles that assail us. We can
rise above temptation through
an abiding faith in Him.
Jesus ended His earthly life
obedient to the death on the
cross. Yet in the moment of
His apparent final defeat,
He was victorious, because
He finished His work-He
accomplished His divine pur-
pose. His voluntary sacrifice
made possible the redemption
of all who put their trust in
Him.
May we see in the resur-
rection of our Lord the real
meaning of Easter -. Christ
is risen! May we rise to a new
life in Him! The world today
needs people with Christ
centered lives. Jesus lives to-
day in the hearts of those
who are partakers of His
mercy and grace.

Weiqhinu Insanity

The letter Clinical Law"
by Ruby Upton Curd shows
a thoughtful but misdirected
concern. She speaks Of the
fear of the United States At
torney that a recent Court Of
Appeals decision may lead to
more acquittals on the
grounds of insanity. leading
in turn to what she calls the
Super-Judge. the psychia-
trist. It should be realized
that the core of the whole
controversy is the question Of
whether academically train
ed psychologists. with no ex-
perience in clinical situa-
tions, should be allowed to
testify as to the sanity OF a
defendant.
The American Psychology
cal Association, which admits
in its own publication that
it does not know what a psy-
chologist is, has a direct in
terest in the controversy, for
that worthy clearing house
wants any psychologist certi-
fled by them to be allowed
to judge sanity. Yet the

membership in same carries
no guarantee of competence"
which is easy to believe, since

fies have never laid eyes on

never be needed there, be
rushed to Washington and be
sworn in as special police to
patrol our streets by day, and
night?
If this will not reduce
street crime to a minimum

It would cost less to keep
these men in Washington as

Uttered City

Washington is a nice city
to live in If you are going
some place. You will love the
countless exits that lead to
thousands of miles Of exqui-
sitely clean highways. The
contrast with the streets in
Washington is sharp.
It seems queer that a road
that one travels over at so
miles per hour should be so
immaculate, while at home
one has an unchanging view
of months accumulation of
newspapers, childrens' school
papers, Dixie cups, tin cans
and broken bottles.
I deplore the wisdom in
building new schools, new
houses, new anything, If
there is not enough tax mon
ey available to keep them
tidy and FOR sanitary. All
around me I see holes in
streets that have been
"mended." with a jolly mix
ture Of tar and sharp pebbles.
Fine old trees are ruthlessly
chopped down to make driv-
ing more comfortable. Why
can't even the streets not seen
by visiting firemen" be kept
as our forefathers loved
them?
Once upon a time, we had
bands of city trash men who
walked through our alleys
with brooms. Now, with ever
increasing taxes, we have a
shambles. Could this possibly
be the cause of the exodus
to Maryland, Virginia, etc.?
