Helping Hands

The prospect of a large-Scale mi
grafton of Negroes from New Orleans to
Washington, financed by the White
Citizens Council, seems to be receding.
We hope so, for the pot of gold at the
end of this rainbow would be filled with
bitter and painful diSilluSionment.
Still, some misguided hopefuls,
looking for jobs and a decent living,
may make the Journey And since this
is so there should be commentator and
support for the decision of a group of
Negro leaders in Washington to help
smooth the path for those who may
come to the Nations Capital. Their
effort, in cooperation with the Health
and Welfare Council, will be directed
toward raising funds to help meet the
cost of such immediate needs as housing,
food, clothing and medicine, and, Sec
ondly, in trying to ascertain the long
range problems and needs of the mi
grants. We hope that this will not
become a serious problem. But if it
should the efforts of this helping-hand
group will deserve full community
support.

Mr.. Macmillan in Town

1t is good to have British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan in Wash
ington again. An old and always well
come friend, he has long played a key
role in keeping his country and ours
close together in both war and peace,
and this association, this alliance, has
been mutually enriching to an inval-
liable degree.
Mr.. Macmillan'S visit, of course, is
not taking place as a result of some
critical new emergency in the world.
He is here simply to promote further
strengthening of Anglo-American ties
and to discuss with President Kennedy
wide range of international questions,
some OF which-Such as Berlins status
have been matters of urgency for a
long time.
AS the Prime Minister has put it,
although he and Mr.. Kennedy "are
always in touch all the time" (by tele-
phone and otherwise), there is nothing
like personal discussion. d. was for
tunate to have an intimate relationship
with President Eisenhower and equally
as fortunate to have a close friendship
with President Kennedy. We made
start early last year when we discussed
world affairs in London and later in
Bermuda. Now I'm here today for the
same purpose" and there is plenty
to talk about"
Apart from Berlin, which will GER
tainly figure largely in the weekend
conversations, the plenty" undoubtedly
will Ind hn IF prif I'VE
entry into the European Common Mar
ket, Anglo relations with
President Charles de Gaulle'S France,
our country'S resumption of atmospheric
nuclear tests, and the problem of try
ing to negotiate reasonable and trust
worthy agreements with the Russians,
including an agreement on banning
such tests.
Finally, Mr.. Macmillan probably
will have something to say during the
talks about his domestic political trou-
bleS. His party has lost number of
by-electionS and some of his fellow
Conservatives are Subjecting him to
increasingly bitter attack for such
things as what they describe as his
failure to lead" his "nonSenSically"
favorable attitude toward the Common
Market, and the "torpor" of Britain'S
economy
Mr.. Kennedy, no doubt, will lend
a sympathetic ear, and the Prime Min
iSter-despite the growing criticism of
him back home-can be sure that the
overwhelming majority of our people
will continue to favor strong Anglo
American cooperation as indispensable
insurance for the security of the entire
free world.

Fair Voting Victory

There is every reason to believe that
the Anne Arundel Circuit Court, follow
ing the guide lines laid down by the
United States Supreme Court and the
Maryland Court of Appeals will hold
that the present makeup of the Mary
land Legislature applies an "invidiouS"
and unconstitutional discrimination
against many thousands of the States
voters. And if so, it seems clear that
the courts, if necessary, will correct a
gross abuse of voter representation
which should have been remedied long
ago by the Legislature.
Ironically, the Maryland House of
Delegates only last month approved a
reapportionment bill which would have
alleviated much of the inequity. That
bill would have taken 13 Delegates from
the smaller counties and assigned them
to the large urban areas which have
become the chief victims of under-rep-
reSentation. 1t would, for example, have
raised the Delegate strength of both
Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties from to 10, while assuring that
each county in the State would retain
at least two Delegates. 1t would also
have provided for periodic reapportion-
ment in the future according to popula-
ton changes. At the time it died in the
State Senate, the compromise bill had
the support of virtually all the major
advocates of reapportionment.
Surely, however the sights of re-
apportionment forces now will be set on
something higher than this bill. The
Maryland Committee for Fair Repre-
Sentation, for example, while wisely
avoiding specific proposals at this stage,
has taken the position that majority
of the people in the State should have
majority of the representation in the
State Senate as we'll as the House. And,
indeed, the court of appeals instructed
the lower court specifically to determine
whether the rights of voters are being
violated with respect to representation
in either or both houses. :" Under
the present system, as the court noted,
mere "a per cent of Maryland's popu-
lation now elects 66 per cent of the
State Senators and 81 per cent of the
House membership.
The appellate court opinion set
forth in commendable detail the COM
plex issues of Maryland reapportion-
ment and the several courses which
might be followed. We trust, however,
that the lower court will heed the note
of urgency which accompanied the rul-
ing, for the time remaining will be very
short if new reapportionment system
is to be drafted before the November
elections. The same applies to Governor
TaweS, who should plan to convene a
special session of the Legislature at the
earliest feasible moment. The Governor
has proclaimed his advocacy of reappor-
tionment on many occasions: His con-
duct during the coming months will
determine in large measure the fate of
fair representation very possibly
the outcome of the Maryland guberna-
torial race.

Space for Peace

The United States and the Soviet
Union now have moved step closer
toward cooperation in the exploration
and exploitation of space for peaceful
purposes. They have done so in the
form of proposal worked out at head
quarters of the World Meteorological
Organization in Geneva. If adopted, the
proposal would commit us and the Rus
slams to work closely together in global
weather watch" involving the joint use
of orbiting satellites.
This plan, which is being submitted
to the United Nations as we'll as to Mos
cow and Washington, has been drafted
by DR.. Harry WeXler of the United
States and DR.. Viktor Bugaev of the
USSR What it calls for, in essence, is
worldwide expansion and Improvement
of weather observation by both con-
ventional means and the new Spatial
vehicles. To that end, for example, it
urges Soviet-American cooperation in
the launching of meteorological Satel-
liteS and in the Interpretation and
worldwide dissemination of whatever
. information they may produce-infor-
nation that could be of immense value
to peoples everywhere.
All this, of course, is in line with
what President Kennedy and Premier
Khrushchev have had to say in their
recent exchange of letters on the sub
ject. Certainly, although still only in
the proposal stage, such cooperation
merits encouragement. To be sure, in
and of itself, it can hardly end the
cold war; but it can help to abate it in
a way that could benefit not merly our
selves and the Russians, but the entire
world.

On Transport Policy

1 have just returned from
Europe where I attended a
series of meetings on various
spects of transportation.
From these meetings I have
received confirmation of a
pattern which I have watched
emerge in Europe during the
last Is years. A unified trans
port policy for Europe is be-
coming a reality. Standard
zation of technical details on
the various transport modes
is an accomplished fact in
many areas. Frontier check
points which in the past
caused long lines of trucks
now clear trucks as rapidly
as passenger cars.
The highway systems and
even rail systems are being
reoriented to provide a Eu-
ropean-wide transport sys-
tenn that will efficiently move
manufactured goods from
Milan to Brussels or Copen-

A Much Better Way

This letter refers to your
editorial of April % in regard
to prayers in the public
schools. 1t seems to me that
you know very little about
children. Much is made of the
fact that no child is required
to participate" What con-
stitutes participation?
My child is not required to
speak the words of the Lords
Prayer, but neither is he per-
mitted to read a book or leave
the room. He was told that he
must sit still and be respect
full of other peoples prayers.
Now he wants to know why
the other children are not re-
quired to sit quietly and show
respect to a prayer of his
religion.
The Lords Prayer is often
considered nonSectarian, but
it really isn't. AS part of the
Sermon on the Mount it is
distinctly Christian and not
appropriate for my son. A sit
uation which places non-
Christian children in the po-
sition of forced attendance
while Christian prayers are
recited is definitely unconsti-
tutional because it favors one
religion over another. Per-
haps Presbyterianism isn't
favored over Episcopalianism,
but Christianity is favored
over Buddhism, Islam,
Judaism.
A much better way to start
the day would be to have
parents and children say ap-
propriate prayers together at
home. This would be far more
meaningful than the present
way which singles out one re-
ligion for special attention.
Those parents who want
religion mixed with schooling
have the freedom to send
their children to the religious
school of their choice. Tax
supported schools, however,
are for children of diverse re-
ligious backgrounds, and none
of them should be subjected
to religious indoctrination of
another faith.
AS a citizen, a taxpayer and
a homeowner in the District,
I resent a directive of the su-
perintendent of schools which
puts my child in this position.

'SimpIified Tax Form

The new "simplified" District in
come tax formula indorsed by the
Commissioners has the commendable
aims of conveniencing taxpayers while
at the same time reducing the likelihood
Of error by utilizing the basic Federal
income tax computations. According to
Finance Officer Kenneth Back, this
formula would produce roughly the same
revenues for the city, and result in only
minor" differences in the taxes paid
by individuals.
But it is just as we'll that there
will be time, before the plan is sub
mitted to Congress, for District taxpay-
ers to examine the new formula in
terms of their own situations. For it
was just year ago that a different
'Simplified" system, also related to Fed
eral tax computations, was advanced
and indorsed with similar assurances
that there would be no appreciable
changes in individual tax liability. This
plan was Scrapped after closer analysis
showed that in some instances the tax
increases would be substantial
We suggested at that time that use
Of the new formula might be made
optional with the taxpayer Why not in
this instance also? AS Mr. Back has
said, it is virtually impossible to design
new system which would not penalize
some taxpayers, even though the num-
ber might be small. 1t might be argued
that a dual system would impose a
somewhat heavier bookkeeping burden
on the Finance office. But if the tax

lowering Of tariffs has stimu-
lated demand for goods from
OF III er European countries.
Along with this, though, has
come improved transporta-
ton and faster movement of
manufactured goods. Long
established container services
eliminate Grating and pack
aging costs in some instances.
Express package services help
the small shipper reach dis
tant markets.
From an American stand
point this unified transport
picture offers some sober
thoughts at a time when we
are preparing to lower our
own tariff walls and plunge
into open competition with
the Common Market. We
must be able to compete in
terms of transportation costs
as well as in manufacturing
costs. The delivered price in
cludes both elements. We
cannot compete in world
markets with fractiopated
transportation facilities. The
Government must have a ca
pability for developing a uni
fled transportation policy and
this it can do only if it has a
department of transporta-
ton, something which most
European countries have had
for many years.

formula for Peace

What can be done to
create a lasting peace among
the peoples and the nations of
this world?
One would believe after al
most twenty centuries that
someone or some country
would come to the conclusion
that there is a basic formula
for peace, a formula that
should be staring us steadily
in the eye and begging to be
accepted. A formula not un-
known, but rather publicized
for centuries. Yet, it is diff
cult to practice because of
the human failing of pride.
Without this sin of pride,
should it be m a gically
stripped from our being, the
formula could be put into eff
feet and all the peoples of
the world would be as BROTH
erS. There could be no ava
rice. no viciousnesS, no blood
shed. There could be only
peace, and the formula it
self-love and understanding.
The people of the world as
individuals are always at
peace with each other-at
least until they have been
hoodwinked into literally
swallowing the propaganda
and half-truths that have
been injected into their minds
by some of the leaders of their
own nation. Subtract pride
from this group, add love and
understanding, and you will
have the greatest force for
peace the world has ever
known.

GPO Wages

David Lawrence IN his
column of April Is perpe-
trated a great disservice on
the employees of the Govern
ment Printing Office Com
posing Division by accepting
at face value the validity of
the protests of Washington
printing firms against the
proposed 25 cents-per-hour
increase of GPO compositors.
Mr.. Lawrence compares
the proposed increase with
the increases granted printers
in commercial establishments
in Washington. What he
fails to state is that the new
GPO rate is a maximum
rate whereas the private in
dustry rate is a minimum
rate. The actual rate paid
compoSitorS in commercial
shops is substantially in ex-
cess of the minimum scale
and is slightly in excess of
the recommended GPO rate.
Mr.. Lawrence compounds
this error by stating that the
formula for GPO wage deter
limitations has been changed
to include the higher rates
of pay among night workers"
This is not the case. The
formula will include night
workers along with day
workers in computing the
number of printers employed
in commercial establishments
in the cities used in the
weighted average formula.
Also. with respect to fringe
benefits, Mr.. Lawrence as
prominent publisher should
know that printers in COM
mercial establishments re-
ceive fringe benefits whose
monetary value is not stipu-
lated in union contracts.
Only those whose monetary
value is so stipulated will be
considered in the new for
mula.
To contend that a 25 cents
per-hour increase for the
GPO compositors must in
evitably result in increased
prices to the public" is a
solipsism that borders close
on demagoguery. Mr.. Law
renee is piqued at the Presi-
dents intervention in the re-
cent abortive effort to in
crease the price of steel. Un-
fortunately. not finding a
target more in keeping with
the magnitude of that event,
he has decided to vent his
wrath on a small group of
employees whose long
negotiations with the Public
