Negotiations for the hiring of
several Navajo families and their
livestock were made between the
Navajo people of the Coppermine
area and Frank Leyva and Bill

tions at a meeting on December Ia
in Coppermine Chapter house.
Able Touchine conducted the

The Navajo families. along with
their sheep will work in scenes
at the Walls of Jerusalem ocation
for at least one week. Each member
of the families employedby Stevens
Productions will receive $1,000
per day. plus payment for any of
their livestock used.
Arrangements were made by
Bill Jones to transport the sheep
by truck to the movie loc alton in
southern Utah. A member of each
Navajo family will be permitted to
ride with the sheep to keep them
from crowding and trampling each
other during transit. The movie
company agreed to be responsible
for the sheep and goats during tran
sit and to pay the sum of 5000
for any sheep deaths due to accident
during the time they are being
moved or used by the movie COM
pany.
Each band of sheep will be kept
separate and every family will be
permitted to care for their own
sheep. The sheep will be used as
background in the movie and will
not be mistreated in any way.
Any lambs born during the
period of employment will be in
cluded in the payment made for the
use of the sheep.
The number of sheep and goats
requited for the movie was a grand
total of 6, 500.

Joint Action

The Washington Metropolitan Re-
gional Conference was formed about
three years ago on the premise that
cooperative actions by the various
political Jurisdictions would bring pos
tive benefits to each of them, and to
the region as a whole. Joint purchaS-
ing of products which they all use, as
proposed by Samuel Humes, the con-
ference director, seems to be fully in
line with this goal.
According to Mr.. Humes, joint con-
tracing could save each of the juris-
dictionS tens of thousands of dollars
annually, primarily through savings
from large-volume purchases. This, of
course, is small matter in the con-
text of Washington metropolitan prob
lens as whole. 1t nevertheless is a
step in the right direction. No doubt
number of benefits, difficult perhaps
to assess, already have accrued merely
from the fact that the political Off
cialS Of the area have had a forum in
which they could sit down together
and talk about their common prob
lens. But surely discussion and mutual
understanding, as important as these
are, are not the ultimate results which
should be expected from such an
organization as the Regional Confer
ence. Eventually, cooperative action
is needed, too.

Capitol Hill Preview

1t is in keeping with both the New
Year season and political practice that
President Kennedy should express "high
hopes" that his administration will
attain many of its major legislative
ooJect1veS during the session of Con-
greSS which convenes next week.
Actually, despite the controversial
nature OF several Of his top priority
proposals, such as medical care for
the aged, aid to education and a pro-
gram for freer international trade.
Mr.. Kennedy has some good cards"
In his own hand. Earlier service in
both House and Senate gave him
close knowledge of the behind-the-
scenes workings of these two parts of
the legislative branch, including an
important awareness of the jurisdic-
tlonal privileges that each chamber
guards so carefully. To this back
ground he has now added nearly
twelve months experience in the White
HouSe-an on-the-job training in the
other portion of the executive-legiSla-
tive relationship. In this connection,
1t Is noteworthy that the President
has refrained in the past, and re-
portedly intends to refrain in the
future, from any undue ruffling of
partisan temperS-a strategy presum-
ably calculated to win more congress
Sional votes and greater public support
than might be gained from outspoken
partisanship.
Two .other circumstances NAV be
helpful. For the most part, there is
agreement that the national economy
will be strong, at least through the
first half and possibly longer in 1862.
An administration in power normally
benefits politically from good business
and high employment, and it is sig
nificant that one of the administra-
tons intentions is to step up measures
for re-training of the unemployed and
IN other ways to aid the jobleSS. Sec
ondly, the fact that congressional
elections are coming up next fall and
that administration help to Demo-
cratic candidates could mean the diff
ference between individual victory and
defeat offers a potential return for
party regularity on Capitol Hill.
With all this, it is unlikely that

Tortuous Path

The recommendation by a Sub
versive Activities Control Board ex-
aminer that the International Union
OF Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers be
labeled Communist-infiltrated should
surprise no one. On precisely these
same grounds, this union was igno-
miniously kicked out of the CIO nearly
IL years ago. Since then, moreover,
several officials of the union have
been convicted by the courts for filing
false Communist affidavits.
What is surprising, however, and
gallingly frustrating, is the slow and
tortuous obstacle course which the
Government has had to negotiate to
reach even this first plateau. Federal
actions against the mine-mill union
initially were filed in 1855. The ex-
aminer hearings have dragged over
nearly five years. Nor is the end yet
in sight. Now, the full control board
must decide whether to sustain the
findings of it's eXaminer-a proceeding
which likely will involve the hearing
of still more arguments. And If the
finding is upheld, the union has the
right to appeal to the Federal courts,
right which heads of the union say
they most certainly would invoke, and
which they optimistically predict would
consume several years. more.
Sanctions against the union, if
and when a final declaration of Com
muniSt infiltration is issued, would
include denial of benefits from the
National Labor Relations Board, a re-
quirement that union literature be
labeled as disseminated by Communist
organization, and the provision of
machinery for the selection of a new
union by it's members.
Eventually, we suppose, such pen
alties probably would serve to weaken
the notorious mine-mill union espe-
cially in view of the severe declines in
membership which it already has suf-
fered. But certainly no one can call
them unduly harsh. On the contrary,
the adjective which better describes
this country's attack on subversive labor
unions is "gentlenesS."

Last of the Streetcors

Although the passing of the last
VeStlgeS OF the Districts once-proud
fleet OF StreetcarS will be lamented by
many, the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Commission has done
the sensible thing in permitting an
earlier than-scheduled conversion of
the final existing lines to bus opera
ton on January %.
The conversion of the last two
lineS-the Fourteenth street and U
street routeS-WaS slated to take place
IN any event on next June /. Now,
freed Of the costly obligation to oper-
ate only two streetcar lines through the
entire winter, the D. G. Transit Co.
should be able to effect substantial
savings both in it's total operating
overhead and through avoidance of
the normal streetcar maintenance ex-
penses which customarily pile up in
snowy weather. AS a consequence of
these savings, the commission believes
that the likelihood of another fare
increase request in the near future
will be leSSened.
In authorizing the early CONVEX
sion, however, the commission relaxed
requirement, set some time ago
by the D. C. Public Utilities Com
mission, that IS new air-conditioned

cars could be dropped from the Four
teenth street and U street routes. The
commission did so, it's officials said,
on the promise of the transit COM
pany that the rs buses would be
ordered during 1862, and after it had
determined that rs additional new
buses would be on hand by January
10 to compensate for previous con-
versions. In addition, the commission
waived requirement that Is other
new buses also be purchased in con-
nection with the conversions. These
are substantial concessions by the reg
ulatory commission, of which D. G..
Transit should be duly appreciative.
We trust that in return the transit
company will view its promise as a
firm commitment and that, beyond
the $50 new buses now due in 1862,
it will replace other of its ancient
and outmoded vehicles with new air.

Mans Inhumonity

There is something which
has puzzled me for many
years. Perhaps I do not know
the answer because I do not
follow any organized religion,
but practice a religion which
has no name: A religion that
makes me believe that all
men are Gods work, regard
less of color or national orr
gin. A religion which makes
me believe strongly that vio-
lence toward my fellow man
is the worst sin I can COM
nit.
What puzzles me? The fact
that all major religions
preach the brotherhood of
man, that all religions teach
peace, but a man can leave
his house of worship and
proceed to bash in the head
of his neighbor because his
skin is dark, or march off
to war because his neighbor
has something he covets.
That is what puzzles me.
Isn't it time that men ev-
erywhere spent a little time
in their churches, their syn
agogues, their mosques in
self contemplation? Isn't it
time they begin to give life
to the words they mouth
in these houses of God?

The True Postal Deficit

If reports of an agreement be-
tween the administration and legisla-
tors over what the latter call the
"true" postal deficit are correct, the
prospects for congressional approval
OF raise in postal rates have been
materially improved. While admins
tration officials refer to the deficit as
around $3.50 million, members of the
Senate Post Office Committee have
stressed that large part of this
sum is attributable to services having
no relation to delivery of the mail.
They have baked, therefore, at rails
ing postage fees to meet an INFLATED"
deficit.
Few persons realize the variety
and extent of the non-poStal Federal
services rendered by the Nations post
offices, largely because of the con-
venience of their location. To list
few of these activities, the depart
ment keeps tab on registered aliens,
aids in conducting wildlife census,
distributes census and income tax
forms, handles certain civil service ex-
aminations those for the

on violators of Federal laws, provides

and performs other "extracurricular"
duties.
It has been estimated that these
non-poStal services account for about
$3.50 million of the departments def
icit. The plan said to have been
agreed to is for this part of the def
icit to be shifted to the Treasury,
rather than to have it charged against
the Post Office Department. That
would leave an actual postal deficit
of $500 million, which is bad enough,

DC. Voting Problems

The recent comforting of

citizens has led some of us to
a review of our own knowl-
edge of balloting procedures,
and I'm suddenly stumped by
an interesting point or two.
Whatever has happened to
the write-in ballot? This old
safety valve" for voters who
prefer a third choice over
either of the listed candidates
or parties seems to be falling
into general diSuse, and is
seldom mentioned any more.
Suppose a voter disliked all
the listed candidates, yet had
no third choice Would it
be desirable to introduce a
new ballot that would permit
a citizen the chance to ex-
press his complete disapproval
rather than, as at present,
forcing him either to stay
home or to vote for "the lesser
of the two evils?

Too Little, Too Late

The Cuban problem is an
other area where we are doing
too little too late. It is in
credible, in retrospect, that
our Government ever allowed
the world Communist move
ment to establish a base of
operations in this hemisphere
in the first place, when it
would have been so simple to
nip it in the bud during the
period of 1856 through 1858.
1t is even more incredible
that we have allowed a Com
munist tyranny to exist in
Cuba for three full years en-
slaving our good neighbors,
the Cuban people. With a
little intelligent help from
us, freedom-loving (anti-
Communist) Cubans could
have long since regained
their freedom. Why have we
done so little to openly en-
courage and assist freedom
loving Cubans to leave Cuba
for the purpose of setting up
and joining a free Cuban
government in exile? Why
has our Government failed
to openly indorse the solicit
alton of funds in the United
States by responsible Amer
leans to be given a free
Cuban government in exile
for the purchase of war
planes, ships, and weapons
and to pay for the training
of Cuban refugees to fight to
regain their Fatherland and
at the same time rid this
hemisphere of the danger
Gus cancer of communism?
Such a government in exile
would be able to carry on
clandestine guerrilla warfare
within Cuba and openly train
and develop an air force and
navy capable of gaining a
foothold in Cuba. Our Gov
ernment and Britain should
get together and turn over
certain small islands adjacent
to Cuba to this Cukan gov
ernment in exile as a starting
point. What are we waiting
for? Ethel M. Morse.
