Genocide Covenant

4Ilc clCIlIIldIlIl VCTulCG GllUS
one chapter Of the book of
horror in which Auschwitz,
Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau,
Ravenbruch and Treblinka
were other excruciating chap
ters.
Because Eichmann has
been sentenced, we cannot
adopt the belief that the Hit
ler-style atrocity has been
vanquished and will never ap-
pear again.
The shocking agony that
the Nazis inflicted upon the
world cannot be reviewed
without sorrow. The acts Of
methodical depravity that
made up the mass murder of
millions of innocent human
beings, many of them chill
dren, cannot be adequately
punished.
If there is any lesson that
can be learned from the con-
frontation in Israel, it is that
there is insufficient interna-
tional law to deal with mass
murderers Of the Hitler -Eich-
mann type.
The trial in Israel with the
sorrowful revelations Of in
human torture and atrocity
brought into sharper focus
one question: What can be
done to prevent the repetition
of methodically and scientif-
ically organized genocide as
practiced by the Nazi murder
erS?
international morality
must be increased and inter-
national law must be created
outlawing mass murder a n d
providing adequate punish
ment for criminals guilty Of
genocide.
Under President Truman,
American leadership intro
duced the Genocide Conven-
ton in the United Nations.
The treaty was passed unani-
mously. Now the individual
nations must ratify the con-
vention. Sixty-five nations
have ratified the treaty max
ing mass murder a crime, but
the United States, the nation
which sponsored the conven-
ton and urged its adoption,
is one of the few important
nations that has fai''1 TO act.
The ratification must be
made by the United States
Senate. For 10 years the Sen
ate Roreign Relations Com
mittee has delayed action.
Most Senators whom I have
Evening star., 1962-01-23

contacted have viewed geno-
eide with the greatest repug-
nance and horror. Senators
Humphrey, Kefauver, Dodd,
Beall, and many others are
eager to outlaw genocide in
ternationally. I am confident,
as is Senator Kefauver, that
the Genocide Convention
would be passed by an over
whelming majority if it would
be brought to the floor Of the
Senate.
The United States has be-
come exposed to Communist
allegations Of insincerity be-
cause Of our failure to ratify.
Our friends abroad who look
to us for leadership on moral
issues are embarrassed and
confused by our inexcusable
delay.
The highminded and dedi-
Gated men Of good will, who
are in the majority In the
United States Senate, should
move to end the procrastina-
tion that is hurting the ma
tion's leadership status and
ratify the convention with
out further delay.

u. N. Congo Policy

The press reports that a
majority of the members of
the Senate subcommittee in
charge of the hearings on
the U. N. Congo policy de-
cided that open sessions
might defeat the purposes of
a serious inquiry by provid-
ing a forum for partisanS
seeking publicity"
This is big Brother" doc
trine with a vengeance! The
only partisans who are to be
allowed a hearing and pub
licity are the State Depart
ment propagandists, who
have already used every trick
of the trade in the attempt
to convince the public that
black is white.
No critic Of the U.S.
backed U. N. military inter-
vention in Katanga seeks to
undo the intervention and to
return to the status quo,
just as no critic Of India's
aggression in Goa seeks to
have the United States start
a war against India in order
to have Goa returned to PoE-
tugal. But it is right and
proper to review the policy in
order to see to it that any
mistakes in the policy do not
become a precedent for worse
mistakes in the future.
To the critic Of State De-
partment policy, what stands
out in the military interven-
ton in Katanga is that the
United States associated it.
self with a "world-govern-
ment" action Of the U. N. die
tated by a coalition of the
Asian-African states and the
Soviet bloc in the name of
anti-colonialism.
In other words, we backed
the U. N. intervention be-
cause we were afraid that
otherwise the Asian-African
states and the Soviet bloc
would raise the false cry Of
colonialism. What a terrible
basis for embarking on
world-government police ac-
ton!

MuzzIed Military

If it Is true that where there is
smoke there must also be fire, a useful
purpose can be served by the study"
which Senator Stennis and his sub
committee are making of charges that
American military men have been "muz-
zled" by their civilian superiors. The
inquiry will not serve a useful purpose,
however, unless it can be kept on an
even keel.
We do not suppose anyone will try
to prove that Defense Secretary Nc
Namara is "Soft on communism" for
that would be obvious nonsense. It is to
be expected, however, that some wit
neSSeS will try to show that Communist
interests have been unwittingly served
by Defense Department policies, and it
is In this area that the subcommittee
needs to hold tight rein on its study.
The inquiry will move along two
main lines. One has to do with censor
ship Of speeches made by military Off
GERS. This complaint has been narrowed
down to some 200 specific cases, and it
should not be overly troublesome to de-
termine whether the blue pencil has
been used unwisely or indiScriminately.
The second line of inquiry will be
more difficult. It concerns participation
of the military in seminars intended to
arouse the public to cold war dangers
and the indoctrination of troops by
their commanders. These, we think, are
desirable, even necessary, activities pro-
vided they are kept within common
sense bounds. And it may be that the
restraints laid upon the military in these
respects go too far. The question as to
where the line should be drawn, however,
comes down to difficult matter of
judgment. And while the Stennis sub
committee has no authority to render
a binding decision, its findings, If based
on a full airing of the complaints,
should be helpful, not only to the civilian
officials in the Pentagon but to the
public as well.

Parkway Route

Apropos Of the controver-
sial Archbold-G Glover parkway,
I purloin two words from
your editorial on the subject
in The Sunday Star, in which
you indicate there is room for
a carefully designed" park
way there without disturbing
natural park features.
A few miles westward from
the Archbold- Glover parkway
is a parallel. if shorter. stream
valley, known as Maddox
Branch from the spring
where it takes its rise near
the Maddox place on Foxhall
road. When a like parkway
was planned through it a
good many years ago I was
one living near who opposed
it. I would not do so today.
And why the change? l
think the change is that
carefully designed" park
roads Of today have bred con-
fidence that thousand-year-
old beeches, native crabap-
pie trees. and carpets Of
spring beauty would receive
consideration. as would the
service berry trees and other
charms of Archbold- Glover
Park. A carefully de-
signed" parkway would bring
natural park features into
visibility for more people than
are enjoying them as things
are now.

Report-und Worninu

President Kennedys first annual
Economic Report to Congress reflects
a sturdy confidence in both the near
and long-term future Of the national
economy, plus determination to en-
ploy-or at least to have available
a variety Of governmental tools de-
signed to help bear out this conf
dence.
For the most part, administration
optimism about the course of the
economy Is shared in quarters out
side Government. The momentum of
the recovery which started slowly about
the end Of last winter is showing
an increase in current indiceS-eSti-
mates of 1862 gross national product
in the neighborhood of $50 billion
are being accepted generally and a
$600-billion rate in 1868 is considered
within reach. But there is likelihood of
a greater difference of opinion, both
political and economic, on the Presi-
dents proposals for "defense-in-depth"
weapons by which to keep the econ
omy moving upward or to meet
threat OF new recession. For the
first purpose, Mr.. Kennedy is count
ing heavily on his pending seven
point tax program, including a credit
plan for equipment investment which
he states would have Favorable effect"
on this years level Of economic activ-
ity. However, if this proposal remains
tied to other more controversial items
IN the package, as originally requested,
its enactment is endangered AS an anti
recession weapon, a request for Standby
authority to reduce individual income
taxes-an area in which Congress has
been notably reluctant to relinquish its
own complete control-alSo may be
denied.
1t is noteworthy that both the
Presidents message and the accom-
panying report of the Council of Econo-
mic Advisers direct emphasis at the i'm
portance Of price stability and avoidance

Inc economic gains are to be realized.

as the key element in such a joint
effort. While asking management to
exercise restraint in its price deci-
SionS, the President likewise asked

appeal will come in steel, where pre-
liminarieS to new contract negotia-
tions already are under way. In this

Pressure on Clubs

I am incensed over Con-
gresham Herbert Zelenko's
bill that would put out Of
business any private club
that practices segregation.
Certainly Mr.. Zelenko
knows that Congress cannot
write the constitution or by
laws of a privately chartered
club any more than it can
dictate to me who I can or
cannot invite to my home for
a Sunday dinner.
I wonder if Mr.. Zelenko or
any of the other phony Sir
Gallants know where dis
elimination begins and where
it ends? Certainly anyone
seeking membership in a
private club Is aware of its
policy. Therefore, they can
refrain from seeking mem
bership if this policy is
odious to the potential ap-
plicant. BY the same token.
the club has the right to deny
membership to anyone it
deems undesirable. If a club
must admit anyone who can
pay the initiation fee and
dues with no other qualifi-
cations, it is no longer a pri-
vate club and the purpose of
its intent has been defeated.
/ do not belong to any club

ship I would certainly choose
a club in which I would be
welcome.

connection, 1t may be pointed out
that the steel industry has absorbed
two contractual wage increases since
January, 1860, without raising prices.
The steelworkers union has timely
opportunity to gear its demands to
the productivity rate, just as the
President suggests. AS he stated in
the same section Of his message, "the
interplay of price and wage decisions
could set off movement toward a
higher price level. If this were to
occur, the whole Nation would be the
victim"

While the Organization of
American States is tackling
the Castro Cuban move to-
ward international commu-
nism, the interested parties
should take a look at Toward
Soviet America" written by
the late William z. Foster and
published in this country in
1943. 1t has been republished
recently, with a foreword by
Representative Francis E.
walter of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the House I'm
American Activities Commit
tee. While the Un-American
Activities Committee had
nothing to do with the new
publication of this volume,
which set forth in detail the
plans of the Communists to
take over this country and
the Western Hemisphere-by
force If necessary-Mr. Wal
ter is providing members of
Congress with copies. In his
foreword Mr.. Walter calls it
"the book the Communists
tried to destroy" because it
tells too much. They were so
successful that few copies re-
manned, and the Department
of Justice had a difficult time
finding even a few needed in
the Smith Act trials, when
the first defendant was Fos-
ter himself, who had been
head of the Communist Party
in this country.
The Red Threat
Foster renounced the book,
calling it obsolete. It was
embarrassing world commu-
nism-which was attempting
a softer line. Chairman Wal
ter wrote:
Foster could orphan his
book, but he could not wipe
out what it reveals about
communism. With the revival
of the era of force and vio-
lence, Toward Soviet Ameri-
ca once more has come into
its own. Again it fits the
international Com m u n S
line. And again it threatens
the United States with the
stark horrors of becoming a
conquered province, under
the bayonets of a Red army.
The Communist line changes
often. The Communist pur-
pose-to conquer the world
does not change at ALL"
Mr.. Walter referred to the
Communist manifesto pro-
claimed by Nikita Khru-
Shchev in January, 1861,
which declared: IF the rul-
ing classes counter revolution
with force and are unwilling
to bow to the will of the
people, the proletariat must
break their resistance" This
was clear proof that the Com
munists have returned, Mr..
Walter wrote, to the hard
line Of 1882, when the United
States was marked for revo-
luton, and Foster described
how such a revolution was to
be carried out.
The last chapter of the
Foster book-"The United
Soviet States of America" it
was called, is a blueprint for
a take-over of the Govern
ment by the workers" II
called for elimination Of cap
italism, of the church, of the
two-party political system
for the infiltration and take
over of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and other un-
ions, for ownership of all
property by a Soviet govern
ment-with a Red army, such
as Russia has, ready to en-
force such Communist rule

Cancer research is throw
ing new light on the extremely
complex phenomenon of blood
clotting. 1t depends, it has
been found, on the precise
interaction of several bio
chemical forces, some Of
which are as yet unidentified.
The proper functioning of the
process is of vital Importance
in cancer surgery and of even
greater significance in car
diovascular diseases.
Recent researches are de-
scribed in the biennial report
Of the Sloan-Kettering Insti-
tute for Cancer Research,
leading world institution in
this field.
One particular area of re-
search is concerned with the
study Of platelets, the blood
components involved in clot
formation, their chemical
makeup, production and de-
struction, and their place in
the clotting process. Recent
experiments indicate, says
the report, that when there
is a deficiency Of platelets in
the blood stream a substance
is produced and released into
the plasma that stimulated
platelet production. This sub
stance can be transferred
from one animal to another.
Clothing Causes Studied
Platelet deficiency is a fire.
quent cause Of hemorrhage
in patients with leukemia
and bone marrow cancers. If
the substance obtained from
animals would work with hu-
mans this might be prevent
ed. In another study in this
area a substance VIII hic h
causes platelet dumping and
fusion has been found in
connective tissue and in the
walls Of blood vessels. This
agent has been completely
unknown in the past.
Clots which plug blood YES
sells are a major cause of
death in patients regardless
of their disease state and are
particularly common in can
Ger patients. Studies are un-
derway to determine if such
persons have in their blood
streams some component
which promotes clot forma-
ton.
Patients with cancer and
other chronic diseases, says
the Sloan-Kettering report,

have been shown to have
high blood levels of fibrino-
gen and very high levels of
fibrolySin inhibitors. Fibrin-
ogen is the precursor of fib-
rim, the primary material
from which clots are formed.
Fibrolysin is an engine that
dissolves fibrin. The impor-
tance of the inhibitor is Just
beginning to be understood
and extensive studies are
underway on its mode Of ac-
ton. A fibrolysin preparation
has been found effective in
dissolving clots in patients.
Quite another field Of in
vestigation is radiation, very
widely used in cancer pa
tients. 1t has afforded unusu-
al opportunities to observe
effects Of radiation exposure
on human beings. Major at
tention has been focused on
responses to repeated small
exposures. Various alterations
have been observed but blood
changes remain the most
constant. Relatively small
doses of radiation have been
found more injurious than
the same amount given in q
single total dose.
Plasma Proteins Change
Changes in proteins in the
blood plasma have been seen
in cancer patients receiving
radiation treatment. Much
the same changes, however,
also have been observed fol-
lowing sham irradiation. 1t is
believed that these changes
are due to apprehension and
stress rather than to the ra-
diation itself. Brain abnor-
malities have been observed
in about one out of four pa
tients receiving either head
or total body radiation.
Methods for modification
Of radiation injury are being
sought. Two thyroid prepara-
tions have been found mod
erately effective in overcom-
ing the delay in wound heal
ing following radiation ex-
posure and in reducing the
incidence of radiation-in-
duced leukemia.
Extensive experimental
work has been done in the
past two years on the use of
radio -isotopes in cancer
treatment. A technique of in
serting a radioactive wire in
the internal mammary artery
has been developed.

A Communist Blueprint for America
By GOULD LINCOLN

force and the elimination of
all who stood in the way.
In chapter notes, added by
Maurice Ries, a former con-
sultant of the Un-American
Activities Committee, Mr.. Ries
commented:
Fosters volume might al
most have been the hand
book by which Castro came
into power in Cuba"
Foster painted a glowing
picture of life in this country
under a Communist society.
1T will be varied and inter-
esting," he wrote. Individual
will vie with individual, as
never before. to create the
useful and beautiful. Locality
will compete with locality in
the beauty of their architec-
ture. The impress of individ-
uality will be upon everything.
The world will become a
place well worth living in
and what is the most i'm
portant, its joys will not be
the niggardly monopoly Of a
privileged ruling class but the
heritage of the great produc-
ing masses"
No signs Of such beauty
and joy Of living have been
evidenced in any of the Com
munist : dominated countries
to date. Suppression and MUIR
der-political purges to bring
new leaders and dictators-
have been the order Of the
day. The dictators in Russia
and China have spent most
of their energies and money
in developing arms strong
enough-they hope--to give
them control Of all the world,
strong enough to threaten an
Inhalation and to annihilate,
If the ruling classes" do not
bow their heads.
Castro Did 1t in Cuba
What Castro has done in
Cuba is what Foster wanted
to do in the United States.
Castro had more fertile
ground on which to work, for
the workers of Cuba had
been ground down to a degree
that none have been in the
United States since the days
of slavery-days which Fos-
ter contended still exist in
this country.
The other Latin-American
republics are becoming more
and more aware of the fact
that what happened in Cuba
could happen to them. These
countries have the opportun-
ity, in their meeting in Uru-
quay, to do something about
this Communist bridgehead
which has been raised in
Cuba. The probabilities are
they will do little unless the
United States takes firm
leadership in the move for
economic sanctions against
Communist Cuba.
Secretary Rusk has stated
that II these countries are to
have the benefit of United
States aid in the Alliance for
Progress $20-billion program
they had better give heed to
that leadership. But entirely
aside from that, these ma
tions must reckon on their
chances of preventing Com
munist dictatorship from
arising within their own bor-
ders. Military dictators, cap
italist dictators they have
had, as we have never had in
the United States.
The Alliance for Progress is
a program for greater demo-
cracy, for improvement Of the
lot of peoples within the
Western Hemisphere. Yet
some of the largest Of the
South American Republics
hesitate in this day Of deci-
sion.
