the night OF October 20 in
Scranton, an industrial city
founded by the family of the
Republican candidate.
Mr.. Dilworth hired State
wide television time and chal-
lenged Mr.. Scranton to face
him in a debate. He did not
expect Mr.. Scranton to appear
But Mr.. Scranton did, and an
enraged Dilworth then accused
him of Showing up only to
disrupt the program"
After the television appear
ance Mr.. Dilworth and Mr..
Scranton stood nose-to-nose
and traded shouted insults. Re-
porterS present were convinced
the two were on the verge of
fisticuffs, but Mr.. Scranton
broke off the encounter, telling
reporters that Mr.. Dilworth
was "hysterical."
Issues Almost Forgotten
Mr.. Dilworth later told his
audiences that he should have
spread my opponent all over
the floor"
Il should have separated
him." Mr.. Dilworth added,

The issues of the campaign

Mr.. Dilworth.
Mr.. Green's Democratic or
ganization in Philadelphia, in
an obvious effort to shift the
campaign off the personal

and workers today to talk to
their voters about President
Kennedy and the Democratic
Party. Mr.. Green, himself a
candidate for reelection, re-
fers to the election as "this
important Federal-State cleo
ton"
In a letter to his ward lead
ers Mr.. Green urged them to
explain to voters that "they
are not merely casting a vote
for Dilworth; they're also TAX
ing a most important step to-
ward the reelection of Presi-
dent Kennedy"
Sees Effect on 1864 Election
Mr.. Green added that Presi-

cratic voters "as he faces

tried to prevent the Democratic
nomination for Governor from
going to Mr.. Dilworth. He in
sisted that virtually any other

could win in a State where the
Democrats hold stronger polit-
ical control than ever before.

objections and Mr.. Dilworth
was nominated.

from 100000 to 10000.

the polls, they noted, were
made for the G. o. P. and all
base their prediction Of a
Scranton victory on a whole

The Democrats insist that
those Democrats who have
been annoyed at Mr.. Dilworth
in Philadelphia will not desert
the party on Tuesday. On this
basis Democrats insist that Mr..
Dilworth will win by $4,000
votes or less and that Senator

It seems obvious that President
Sekou Toure of Guinea, who has Just
had meeting with President John Ken
needy Of the United States, has become
quite disenchanted with the Communists.
Although once regarded as an African
leftist of the most extreme kind, he has
found it exceedingly difficult to get along
with the party-line Russians, including
Soviet Ambassador Solod, whom he GUST
ed last December as a subversive agent
seeking to undermine Guinea's new
found freedom. Today, although ad-
herring to the doctrine of "neutralism,"

Kremlin's ceaseless efforts to subvert

to have good educational effect in
those areas of the world, particularly
the emerging African lands, where Nj

doing their best to make trouble on an
unlimited scale.

Fair Pay for Teachers

The compromise District teacher
pay bill finally agreed upon by the House
and Senate is on the whole good one.
A somewhat higher raise, as the Senate
earlier approved would not have been
excessive. Still, the average increase of
101 per cent in the final version Is
almost precisely the amount first rec
commended by the Commissioners. More
over, Congress provided that teachers
can reach the top Of the pay scale in
each grade six years earlier than initial
ly proposed. All in all, the bill restores
the District to good competitive posi-
ton with other Washington jurisdictions
insofar as attracting new teachers is
concerned.
We are not convinced, however, Of
the justification for the new provision
which wipes out any distinction in the
pay scale of elementary school principals
and the principals of high schools. The
school administration has argued that
there Is no essential difference in re-
sponsibility, and that every effort must
be made to recruit the best possible
talent to supervise the education of
younger pupils. Certainly the latter is
true. 1t seems ridiculous on the face of
it,however, to contend that the principal
of small elementary school faces the
same complex responsibilities as the
head of a huge modern high school.
This is question, in any event, which
should be re-examined by Congress in
the future.
A more obvious shortcoming Of the
bill Is its failure to adjust the salary of
School Superintendent Hansen. Accord
ing to Representative Broyhill Of Vir-
ginia-whose efforts were largely re-
sponSible for shaking the pay bill loose
in the House-agreement was reached to
rectify this defect through separate leg
iSlation next year. We hope this proves
to- be the case. 1t is disgraceful that
the competent head of the school sys-
tenn in the Nations Capital should be
paid far less than superintendent in
comparable cities and less, in fact, than
in the suburban Jurisdictions of the
Washington area.

Message to Khrushchev

Our first-rank Government officials
are neglecting no opportunity to tell
Nikita Khrushchev where we stand on
Berlin, or any other crisis the Soviet
Union intends to precipitate.
For the second time in fortnight,
Defense Secretary Mcnamara has spelled
out our position in words so unequivocal
that no one, including the Kremlin
plotters, should misunderstood them.
The Secretary selected perfect forum
the dinner honoring Dwight D. Eisen-
hover with the George c. Marshall
medal-to reaffirm: eve have no reason
to fear the Soviet rocket rattlers."
Those are confident words calcu-
lated to reassure this country, as well
as to give pause to USSR, in the face
of unremitting Soviet threats to sign
separate peace treaty with East Ger
many, with all its inherent peril to the
German status quo.
It is equally significant that the
day Is past when the spokesman for this
country speak vaguely Of unnamed
enemies. Mr.. Mcnamara pounded hard
at the Soviets, ridiculed their idea of
peaceful co-existence" that includes
everything from agitation to assassi-
nation, from trade fights to shooting
fights" And he spoke Of the need for
the Army to expand and diversity and
modernize itself to deal with a wide
range of counter-insurgency and lin
itedwar situations"
The Secretary thus indicated the
necessity for combat readiness at any
level, but the meat of his remarks, and
the meat Nikita Khrushchev had better
be chewing on, was this:
must emphasize that these new re-
quirements do not imply any shift in our
stated policy on the use of nuclear weapons
The President has declared that "the defense
of Europe and the defense Of North America
are indivisible," and he has expressed "the
hope that no aggressor will mistake our
determination to respond instantly with
whatever force Is appropriate" The appro-
pirate response, whether 1t be nuclear or
non nuclear, whichever best supports our OBJ
jective. will be made promptly and forcefully.
These remarks could not have been
timelier. AS they were being spoken,
East Germany'S military brass was con-
ferring with Soviet chieftains in Mos
COW; their political counterparts were
talking in East Germany; the Soviet
stooge newspaper, 1zvestia, was making
light of a United States congressional
resolution of support to President Ken
needy; troop rnaneuvers and build-ups
we're observed in East Germany and
satellite countries.
Everything is pointing to show
down in Berlin. If 1t comes soon, or
later, as signs indicate 1t must, Nikita
Khrushchev has been forewarned. If he
thinks the "libera" Americans will quit
Berlin under bluff or fire, he should
re-read Secretary McNamara's speech.

Proqress and Protection

$. The arbitration decision which has
ended the lengthy Chicago & North
Western Railway labor dispute affirms
an important principle: That while lib
era1 benefits are due union workers Tin
this instance, telegraphers) whose Jobs
are abolished because they are no longer
needed, the right to determine what jobs
are to be eliminated must rest solely
with management. Significantly, this
same conclusion has been reached by
growing number Of other impartial
arbitrator and mediators.
G. E. Leighty, president Of the Order
Of Railroad Telegraphers, sees the arbi-
tration outcome in different light. In
his words, it is an ILLUSTRATION of the
unfortunate results when Government
officials intervene in railroad labor dis
putes outside the normal channels Of
the Railway Labor Act"
Labor Secretary Wirtz persuaded the
union and the railroad to agree to the
arbitration of this basic issue last month,
and for good reason. "Obsolete" Jobs
are a problem of labor as well as man
agement, and surely Mr.. Leighty real
ICES by now 1t Is problem that will
not disappear with endless talking. 1t
had been his hope that the arbitration
panel would find that any dispute be-
tween the union and the railroad over
the elimination of specific telegraphers'
Jobs would be settled by further arbi-
tration. The panel ruled, however, and
properly so, that management enjoys
the initiative to maintain its competitive
position through adjusting to changed
conditions, and that the appropriate
basis for handling employe hardship
resulting therefrom is through appli-
cation of protective provisions"
r Certainly the protective" provisions
to which the railroad agreed on Sep
TENDER %, when the strike against North
Western was settled, are extensive. Te
legraphers whose jobs may be abolished,
under this agreement, would receive
monthly allowances equal to so per cent
of their salaries, for periods ranging up
to five years for men with Is or more
years of service. In addition, the rail-
road would be liable for the expenses
Of union members transferred to jobs
away from their home cities. BY Mr..
Leighty's own analysis, the combination
of the arbitration award and the Sep
TENDER % agreement has resulted in
"giving US the best protective conditions

Slams of BerIin-Cubo Red Gamble
Foreign Correspondent OF The Sta

The trend Of events In and
around Berlin over the past
few weeks makes this posi-
bility less far-fetched than 1t
has seemed in the past. The
buildup of East German arm
ed forces, threatening talk in
Moscow and Pankow, the
much-publicized fears to top
Western officials that q show
down is imminent all add
up to an increasingly omin-
Gus picture.
There's a certain ominous
logic, too, in the picture as 1t
must appear to Mr.. Khru-
shchev.
A military Swap"
Berlin most certainly is far
more important to the Rus
sian leader than Cuba could
ever be. The violence Of
American public reaction to
the Communist "takeover" in
Cuba could well have con-
WINGED him that the opposite
is true Of the United States.
From the outset, speculation
about the possibility of a dip
lomatic swap of Cuba for
Berlin has seemed unrealistic.
On the other hand, the idea
of a military swap could be
intriguing to Mr.. Khrushchev.
The danger of war over
Berlin-aS Mr.. Khrushchev
has been told many times by
Western leaders-is the dan
ger of confronting the United
States with a choice between
defeat and nuclear holo-
caust. Defeat in Berlin would
mean an intolerable blow to
American prestige through
out the world. An attack on
the city would Immediately
generate pressure for coun-
teraction that no govern
ment could resist.
But what If the alterna-
tive to nuciear war - the
target for a counterblow and
the means Of revenge-were
within easy reach? If Berlin
were attacked the United
States would indeed be
forced to retaliate. But Mr..
Khrushchev may ask him
self: Would Mr.. Kennedy
give the signal for a nuclear
holocaust as long as a sim
pie and inexpensive military
operation against Cuba
might serve to compensate
for the loss of the Western
position in Berlin?
In any event, there can be
little doubt that Mr.. Khru-
shchev would be satisfied to
trade Cuba for Berlin If
what was involved was no
more than two minor and in
expensive military opera
tions. Any move against
Berlin would call for the
most critical calculation of
the risks. And If Mr.. Khru-
shchev is. in fact, thinking
along thete lines, the mis-
givings of Western officials
over what may happen in
the city are more than JUS
titled.

How to Be Funny by Working at 1t
By DONALD MINTZ

It's the way I am and it's

ways be one of grateful

of the Middletown Garden,

the Prevention of Guests
Peeping into Their Hosts

When you start making up
your own gags-and bear in
mind that gags and humor
are the same thing-remem-
Der "the finer points of

cause they're all in upper

YOU CAN BREAK DOWN
THE WALL OF INDIFFER-
ENCE WHEN YOU USE

AIS THAT MAKE A DIFF

more like that, too.
REMEMBER THAT it Is
important to avoid poor
taste and poor Judgment. "It
is poor judgment to risk Of.
Tending anyone" Poor taste
includes making fun Of any
thing that someone else
might take seriously and is
therefore very much like
poor judgment. Good taste
prohibits any mention of sex.
