Copitol Called Contrite but DisincIined
To Press On for Higher Ground

Once again, in the honors
heaped upon DR.. Frances o.
Kelsey. Washington is per-
forming an act Of contrition
for bureaucratic fumbling
and an almost total disincli-
nation in the executive and
legislative branches to press
for higher ground than ex-
pediency in their decisions.
Or. Kelsey is the modest
meuls. ~tficer Of the Food
and Drug administration who
blocked the granting of a
license to an American con-
Germ for the manufacture and
distribution Of thalidomide.
The citation accompanying
the gold medal President
Kennedy hung around her
neck states that her action
prevented q major tragedy
Of birth deformities in the

This Is true. DR.. Kelsey
blocked the sale Of the
dangerous drug to the great
extent possible to her. It was
not in her power to keep the
drug entirely out of the
country or stop its use. That
power rested in her superior
after doubts arose. but they
temporized as hearings be-
fore the Government Opera

House Republicans have be-
gun a drive to blame the DEM
ocrats if Congress kills legisla-
ton this year for Fe deral
grants and loans to private and
public colleges and universities.
This COP. course was
strongly indicated in a COM
ment by House Minority Lead
er Halleck and in q speech by
Representative Quie Of Mime
sofa, a Republican member Of
the conference com mite e
which is deadlocked on con-
flicting Senate and House bills.
Other Republicans admitted
they would have no qualms
about trying to pin principal
responsibility on the Demo-
Gratis. especially in the Senate,
if a bill fails to pass the House
and Senate before adjourn
ment.
Blame Some Democrats
Republicans conceded that
most House Republican men,
bers and some Democrats OPP
pose a Senate provision for
scholarship aid. But they con-
tended that chances of work.
ing .out a compromise have
been blocked largely because
some Democrats frown on
equal Federal aid for private
and public institutions of high
er learning.

Twenty-six persons had died
Of sleeping sickness, but it is
not as dramatic as cholera.
The carp fishermen were
protesting a recommendation
that sea fish only be eaten,
since germs Of cholera had
been found in the stomachs
Of pond fish. The chairman
Of the carp vendors had
written an indignant letter to
the government and the
newspapers. He quoted a
japanese scientist to the
effect that cholera germs
could not live in the stomach
Of a pond carp. This seemed
a reasonable argument, based
on a look at some Of the
ponds, but the government
stood firm. The stomach Of
a carp has met its match. A
cholera germ can live in it.
The streets of Taipei are
heavy with traffic. Much Of
it is bicycles, pedicabs and
carts. Many Of the carts are
pulled by men. They work in
the old coolie fashion, with
q fabric rope about one
shoulder to help them pull.
Frequently, q young son is
at the rear pushing. Now
and then carts pulled by
water buffalo move slowly
down the streets. Car and
taxi horns honk, bike bells
whir and shrill. The pedicab
drivers shout at one another.

DAVID LAWRENCE

When Q labor union speaks
out forthrightly against any
attempt BY labor to monopo-
lie power-even though it
be inside q union-it be-
comes news Of paramount
importance. There seems to
be o lesson In this for some
unions which have gone even
to the point Of threatening
strikes unless supervisory
personnel are forced into
joining the union.
It would appear to be q
truism that no part Of man
agement should be inte-
grated into a labor union or
participate in shaping the
policies Of the union. But, in
a current controversy, that's
precisely what one group in
side q national labor union
has been trying to do.
The union involved is the
International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, Of
which David Dubinsky, one
Of the ablest Of Americas
trade-union leaders, has long
been president. In a public
announcement, Mr.. Dubinsky
and other officers Of the
union declare that they are
unwilling to grant recogni-
ton to a union Of business
agents." even though they
would be willing to recognize

statement says in part:
"The business agents are in
q special position within the
union to make union policy.
They provide the leadership
to the worker in the shop.
To the rank and filler, the
business agent is Mr.. Union

DubinskYIs Opposition to Recognition
OF Business Agents Unit Lnuded

business agents were granted
union recognition by the In
ternational Ladies' Garment
Workers Union they would
be in the position Of partici-
pating in the choice of the
uGWU officers with whom
they would bargain. This is
sitting on both sides Of the
bargaining table.
THE MGWU holds that q
union Of business agents Is
not a union of employees; 1t
it a faction Of officers with
all the elements Of a dual
union-trying to impose its
policies from the outside and
even hoping to seize control
Of the uGWU.
I'VE know only too well
the dangers Of factionalism
and dual unionism from our
long and bitter experiences.
For many years, the Com
munists In the MGWU tried
to capture the union through
their faction. They were fl
na1ly defeated by the re-
sponsible and democratic
elements in the ILGWU, but
only after a nine-year
struggle-1925 to 1934-in-
volving hunger and blood
shed. In this terrible strug-
gle, the union was shattered;
the industry was disorgan-
tied; the workers suffered.
We now refuse, knowingly. to
re-enter such a period Of
struggle with a new faction
hiding behind the good name
Of 'unionism.' To us, the evils
Of factionalism are not q
theory
'It is for this reason-not
at all because we viii not
deal with unions Of our en-
ployes or even our organiz-
ers-that we oppose q union
of officers, known as business
agents. It Is for this reason
that the AFL-CTO officially
stands with US and actively
supports our position"
The issue arises only
sporadically, but it Is none
theless the subject Of consi-
derable controversy. It does
not often occur in the mass

Wet Nam, using weapons and

from the Communist Wet Cong.
The picture appears much bet
ter than it did a year ago when
this correspondent toured the
country. The issue, however,
by reason of terrain and in
ternal political friction, is likely
to remain touch-and-go for a
long time.
American diplomats worked
out the formula for settling
the dispute between the Meth
erlands and IndoneSia over
West New Guinea. 1t contains
guarantees to insure the right
of self-determination for 700,-

Finally. in Latin America. the
Alliance for Progress has been
launched. American aid entails
$40 billion over q 10-year period
and assistance in obtaining an
additional $40 billion from other
sources in Europe and Japan.
Last week, on the first an
niversary of the alliance, Mr..
Kennedy was asked whether he
was satisfied with the progress.
He replied:

done, I think we have to do

The Congo is still snarled. The
problem with France, a hold
over from 1859, remains un-
solved. No formulas have been
found for an agreement to dis
arm or stop nuclear tests.
Slight Optimism in Asia
On the other hand, devlop-
ments in Southeast Asia ap-
pear to warrant at least some
cautious optimism.
An agreement was hammered
out for q tripod coalition gov
eminent in Laos. The question
Is whether it will hold.
Before this agreement, Mr.

people in Garrett County will be
too smart to be taken in.
| can't begin to tell all, but you
can come see for yourselves and
talk to the property owners. 1t
would give YOU a clearer picture
than | can write.
In this state a few years ago the
politicians had on the voting bal
lots for purer streams and rivers.
Sure, everyone wanted to see that,
we drink river water, and the old
timers would tell of the days when
the Youghiogheny, Monongahela
and the Allegheny were fisher
mans paradise before the steel
mills.
What the people didn't know was,
they were voting themselves into
a big disappointment The politi-
clans set up an AUTHORITY (this
is a 5 man commission and what
they do is LAW.)
Where | live it is rural, every
one owns from one-half acre to a
farm. We have city water and sep
tic tanks Across the road from me
is now q housing project, the cheap
est home is S18,800 They are in the

II ! decide to sell my property
| have to deposit 81 200 for future
sewage for this place
Our drinking water comes from
a plant in the Youghiogheny river
A sewage system was set up, the
disposal plant is built above the
Wa'nr plant in the Youghiogheny
river. oh, the refuse is so pure we
drink it.
They put the main line across
the property owners ground where
ever they choose, pile dirt sky high
on the lawn. and have no respect
for anyone, Some property owners
will pay 81 900 plus $4,000 tap-in
fee They charge so much per road
foot frontage. One is compelled to
take it, They dig anywhere in the
yarQ uney choose.
The minimum water bill for every
three months is $3.50 for 5000 gal
Ions of water. If more is used, you
pay more
Every bit of water that goes
through the water meter is charged
triple for sewage bill. Water used
for lawn, car wash etc. never goes
in The sewage but it is counted on
the bill. If two families live in the
same house and it has only one
wafer meter, say their water bill
is $1,000 for three months, it is
tripled for sewage which is $500.
o. X, just because it is two fam
lilies they double the bill and that
makes it S7200 for three months.
Some have told me their bill was
$4,000 impossible, you say, come
over and see for yourselves. The
LAW says pay up or lien will be
put on the property. Do you pay
for two tanks of gasoline when
you get one filled just because sew
e. al people ride in the automo-
bile?
How is Garrett County going to
pay millions of dollars for sewage
system?
Why should you be so particular
when we drink our own sewage
from the Youghiogheny? We might
as we'll drink from Garrett County,
we have been.
Looks like the racketeers from
Pennsylvania want to get you in
on their big deal
This sounds awful, but | hope
you people give it some thought
The whole thing stinks to high
heaven Don't take my word, come
