Another Munich

W1GQOuC actually naming CIelr man,
the Peiping Peoples Daily, official organ
of the Chinese Communist Party, ap-
parently is trying to put the Skids under
Nikita KhruShchev This fortnight
journal, which wouldn't dare announce
the time of day without written approval
from its Chinese Communist masters, is
comparing Mr.. KhruShchev's agreement
to withdraw his missiles from Cuba with
Neville Chamberlain'S abandonment of
CzechoSlovakia back in the days when
Adolf Hitler was drinking too deeply
from the cup of world domination.
On the face of things, one need not
search too far for an explanation. The
reasonable inference is that the bigwigs
in the Chinese Communist hierarchy,
more StaliniSt perhaps than Stain him
self, would like to bring down Mr.. Khru-
Shchev, who shows some signs, If not of
moderation, at least of an awareneSs of
the nuclear facts Of life and of healthy
instinct for self-preServation. If he
could be destroyed, a man more palata-
BILE to Peiping might be installed in the
top spot in the Kremlin. Then the
Chinese could move ahead faster with
their missions of mercy, such as the
invasion Of India.
Some emphasis should be put on
the point, however, that this evaluation
does not go below the face Of the mat
ter. There is no doubt about Munich,
or the fate which overlook the CzechS,
or the great war which, before it ended,
had engulfed most of the world. There
is some doubt, however, that Mr. Khru-
Shchev actually is dismantling his bases
and moving his missiles and Jet bombers
out Of Cuba. It is possible that some
or all Of them are being hidden in places
where they cannot be spotted by our
reconnaissance planes. Certainly there
is no reason to accept, on faith, the
unverified word of either Fidel Castro
or Nikita KhruShchev Neither is there
the slightest reason to believe that Mr..
KhruShchev has made journey to his
own Munich simply because Peiping
Peoples Daily suggests that this is the
case.
There is one and only one way to
be sure about these things. This is an
on-the-scene inspection by trustworthy
inspectors. One may hope that President
Kennedy, having marched so far up the
hill, is not going to turn around and
march down again with this crucial
question unanswered.

For Stricter Schools

1t is noteworthy that California has
elected Dr. Max Rafferty, to be Super
intendent Of Public Instruction. A Re-
publican, he had been vigorously opposed
by Governor Brown, by 8 of the 10
members of the State Board of Educa-
ton and by powerful liberal groups Of
Tended by his sharp attacks on the frillS
and furbelowS associated with the "pro-
greSSive" brand Of teaching now so wide
spread in our country. Accordingly his
victory, by a margin of nearly 100000
votes, may be regarded as impressive
evidence that Californians want a larger
measure Of "three-Rs" conservatism in
their elementary and secondary schools.
This is not a backward development,
Of course. AS he himself has indicated,
45-year-old DR.. Rafferty-an expert
enced teacher and ADMINISTRATORS a
conservative conservative when it comes
to pedagogy. That is to say, he is not a
reactionary; he does not hold that the
forms and methods of the little red
SchoolhouSe should be restored. On the
contrary, along with men like Admiral
Rickover and numerous college leaders,
he believes that America imperatively
needs to modernize It's schools in the
sense of Tightening their discipline and
putting them into high gear to meet the
enormous tasks Of this supremacy Scien-
tific and dangerously competitive age.
Thus, as far as California is concerned,
he wants to make sure that the funda-
mentalS are properly taught, that OPP
tional courses are kept to a reasonable
minimum, that time and money are not
wasted on things like cooking classes
for males, and that heavy stress is put
on such subjects as language, science
and mathematics.
The idea behind all this is that the
young student should be taught to I'M
derStand that school is not really meant
to be "fun" and that he must make the
most Of his educational opportunities
to the fullest extent of his ability-to
prepare himself for the responsibilities
of adult life in world of very serious
and very great individual and group
challenge. In electing DR.. Rafferty,, CAL
ifornianS seem to have given full in
dorsement to this proposition. In that
sense, they have set a good example for
many another State whose educational
standards could be considerably higher
and sterner than they are.

Lobor's Divided House

The AFL-CIO Executive Council
meeting here today, has pair Of rough
intra-family fights on its hands In this
setting, President George Meany, evil
IDENTIFY believing that the best defense
is good offenSe, has taken the initia-
tive by aggressively frank declarations
Of his own position. But while Mr..
Meany has the votes to win any show
down before the council this week, the
issues themselves will not be finally re-
solved so simply. Each has long his
tory, and will not be settled overnight.
Simplest of the two is based in the
rivalry between craft and industrial
unions, between the AFL and the CLIO
segments of the federation itself. In
this instance, the issue is one of filling
a vacancy on the council arising out of
the resignation of CLIO member. Wal
ter Reuther, president of the United
Auto Workers and leader of the CLIO
bloc, has picked Ralph Helstein, head of
the United clearinghouse Workers, an
other CLIO affiliate, for the spot. Mr..
Meany, while agreeable to CLIO nomi-
nee, opposes the HelStein choice on
grounds that the packers union has had
a long record of left-wing behavior. His
position, in short, is that council mem
bership is subject to majority approval
which he commandment factional.
The second issue is one that could
be more descriptive within federation
ranks than the factional power struggle.
1t is, in short, growing impatience
among Negro members, with the NAACP
now intervening actively, toward the
federation's alleged failure to fight re-
strictive employment practices and to-
ward discrimination complaints within
some unions themselves. In recent
months, the NAACP has turned its fire
on maritime, steel and garment workers
unions. Mr.. Meany met these charges
head on last week in a scornful denial
before the Negro American Labor Coun-
Gil, but the issue was not settled then
and will not be eliminated by the fed
eration'S Executive Council this week.
Compromise often has served or
ganized labor in its intra-family feud-
ing in the past. Something of the same
is needed now, but 1t will not be easily
found.

BKchites VS.. Liberals

John H. Rousselot and Ed

two Congressman acknowl-
edged to be members of the
John Birch Society, were de-
feated for reelection to the
House.

THE Liberal Papers," and

Faster Mail Service

Recalling the day when some die
hards objected to moving mail by new
tangled railroads instead Of stage
coaches, spokesman for the scheduled
airlineS are making an about pitch for
the Post Office Department to airlift
first class mail wherever feasible. In the
words of Stuart G. Upton, president Of
the Air Transport Association of Amer
lea, nothing stands in the way Of ex-
banding this rapid service between all
major cities separated by substantial
distances"
Mr.. Upton made very good case
for his aims in speech to the National
Association of PostmaSterS AS he put
1t, the growing mail volume is
begging down through sheer weight,
aggravated by one-third decline in
mail trains during the past decade.
The airlines executive visualized
mail shutting between cities in 600
mtle-an-hour jets, at no extra cost to
the Post Office Department. In fact,
he said, all types of air postal service,
most notably parcel post, yields the
department $20million-a-year profit,
whereas surface mail moves at a def
icit. In many instances, whole days
are saved by air mail Example: First
class mail flies regularly between New
York and San Francisco, while New York
and Los Angeles, depending entirely on
railroads, have much slower service.
OF course, there is another side of
the coin--the railroads side. Their
spokesman attribute the heavy decline
In pasSenger-mail train service partly to
the experiment" through which airlines
have been moving II per cent of all
first class mail between 10 sets of cities.
OF still greater concern, they predict
that other passenger trains, operating
now only by the grace of mail contracts,
would be scuttled If that revenue
vanished.
This is not new story. The air.
lines, in fact, appear to be lighting a
new fire under an old feud. Two years
ago the railroads won round in Con-
greSs when a House committee, diSap-
proving Of further airlines encroach-
ment, suggested this should not be done
without congressional approval
The airlines still insist the Post
Office has the authority to throw more
business their way at any time. This

Your column1St, Jose
Young, reports that the Bud
get Bureau and the Civil
Service Commission are
greatly concerned with Fed
eral workers productivity"
now that the Federal Pay
Reform" Act has been en-
acted.
You can bet the bigwigs
in these agencies are really
concerned with how much
more they can squeeze out
OF the lowly typists, clerks
and production workers gen.
orally, so that they will have
so much more to squander
on personnel specialists, "
administrators" and sundry
varieties Of blowhards, whose
services" the taxpayers need
like the proverbial hole in
the head.
Indeed, Mr.. Young sort Of
gives the game away when
he states, in the very same
article, that the National
Society of Engineers, Scien-
lists and Allied Professionals
seek legislation to place en-
gineers and scientists in a
separate pay schedule, clear
evidence that Federal techni-
cal workers are fully aware
that the Society for Person.
mel Administration has, for
many years, tried successful
ly to link its highly overpaid
operators" with the scien-
lists and engineers when
ever it badgered Congress for
the creation of more and
more super-grade jobs.
It is not to Mr.. Kennedy's
credit to state that he has
fallen for their line, in urg-
ing that Congress pass a pay
bill which granted in
ordinately high raises to
those in the upper grades,
while scattering mere crumbs
to the lower paid employees
who really do have some
thing to offer the people.

Keeps in Touch

Having lived in and around
D. c. for 20 years and a Star
reader who enjoyed every is
sue, I was glad to see in the
Evansville Courier recently
where The Star is still being
quoted. I have reference to a
UPI article Curb on News
Imposed By Defense Depart
ment." In the Courier, David
Lawrence also mentioned The
Star editorial about the curb
on news. I suspect that there
are those in D. C. besides
Mr.. Sylvester who are'omnis-
Gent manipulators.
I recall very well when FDR
was running again and again
and again." we, the people,
were advised that FDR's
health was no less than per-
feet for another 4 years. One
article I recall so we'll quoted
no less than an admiral who
was FDR's physician. There
have been other times when
those who are in a position
Of respect Cor should be-
seemed to think that 1t was
no sin to lie about things
to the people. No doubt many
of us would be dead from
worry and fright If we were
really allowed to know the
news straight and not be told
lies; we probably could never
have stood knowing the truth.
So perhaps I should be glad
at times I got "slanted
news"
I feel sure that when such
shenanigans are again forced
on the people, that as soon as
The Star finds it out it will
expose them. I am thankful
we have papers who look out
for us.
We were very sorry when
we read that Charles Trace
well who wrote This and
That" had passed away; we
enjoyed his writings as we'll
as we enjoyed the entire Star.

essay 1t gives Americans some
idea Of an important kind Of
theater that never had more
than a fitful life here and is
now dead. We are the poorer
for it.
The regular issue also con-
tains a magnificent article
on the distinction between
the sciences and the humani.
ties by Robert B. Heilman of
the University Of Washing
ton; Charles Norman's inter-
view with the distinguished
physicist George Gamow,
and Harold Taylor's "A
Philosophy for Modern
Man"
The issue devoted to Italy
contains a delicious irony
that the editor surely cal
culated. The well-known con-
ductor Igor Markevitch Of
fers a paean Of praise to the
social position of Italy's as
yet unliberated women. Some
hundred pages later, Gabriel
la Parca offers a far less
favorable and romantic in
depreciation. Mr.. Marke-
witch is a Russian male
musician, and while his in
terpretations of contempo-
rary music are celebrated,
his views of society are pre-
revolutionary. Illusions flee
before the cruel realism Of
Nine. Parca.
THE BRITISH ISSUE is
the second for that country
and is less general than those
devoted to Australia and
Italy. Like most magazines
of the type, The Texas Quar-
terly has a distinct literary
bias, and the study of Brit
ain shows 1t most clearly.
1t also contains a gem: what
appears to be the first publ
cation of a short story by
Joyce Cary which was the
genesis of his novel "a Fear
full JOY"
Architecture is another Of
the magazines special in
terests. Virtually every is
sue has one or more articles
on the subject. The black
and white photographs with
which each issue Is copiously
illustrated are Of remark
ably fine quality and so :.
is possible to support these
articles with superb visual
material.
The Texas Quarterly is, in
short, a remarkable journal.
Occasionally, it is true, there
are moments of self-con-
seriousness about the State
and sometimes the makeup
is so arty that the reader
loses his way for a moment.
But these are tiny flaws in
a magnificent undertaking.

Americas Policy

The strong position taken
by this administration with
respect to Cuba is reaSsur-
ing and it appears that we
may have avoided serious
consequences despite the de-
lay in taking action. How
ever, there is an uneasy feel
ing about the future when
one contemplates that many
of the same people are still
in key positions who were re-
sponsible for undermining
our friends and supporting
our enemies throughout the
world over a period of many
years.
BY virtue Of our anti-co-
lonial policy since the close
Of World War II, we have by
direct or indirect methods
undermined our friends and
assisted in establishing or
trying to establish our enc
mics or at least people who
have not overwhelmed us
with love in positions of pow
er such as Sukarno in In
donesia, Nasser in Egypt,
Jagan in Births h Guiana,
Mao in China, Adula in the
Congo. Mario de Andrade in
Angola, Ahmed Ben Bella in
Algeria, and so on all around
the world. We helped to ease
out our friends, Batista in
Cuba and Trujillo in the Do
minican Republic. This policy
has paid off already in Cuba
and the Dominican Republic
may well be next for once
the leftist elements get con-
troll and unleash powerful
forces for agrarian reform, it
Is difficult to reverse that
trend short of a Communist
take-over.
Our uncanny ability to I'M
dermine our friends and to
support our enemies is phe-
nomenal. The unrequited
love, aid and comfort which
the United States has Law
ished on tbs United Arab Re-
public, Guinea and Ghana
are now well known, and as
a British journalist acidly OBJ
served, American policy is to
be neutral to their enemies,
friends to the neutrals and
hostile to their friends"
KriShna Menon and Nehru,
despite our love and affec-
ton, never had kind words
for us nor for Nepal or Pakis-
tan but they loved their
neutral" friends. Who do
you suppose is helping Nehru
now?
And what is strange and
frightening is that our for
eign policy never changes, ir-
respective of the party in
power.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
A Remarkable Periodical Collection
BY DONALD MINTZ
THE TEXAS QUARTERLY

THE TEXAS QUARTERLY
published in March, June,
September and December
by the University of Texas
Press, Austin, Texas. Issues
average about 200 pp., illus,
softbound, 81 annually.
More people are writing
than can possibly be read.
That being so, it is almost a
disservice to call attention to
yet another regular source of
printed matter worthy Of
serious consideration.
Disservice or no, The Texas
Quarterly, now in its fifth
year, is the sort of thing one
should know about. Three of
the issues at hand are labeled
special" and bear distinctive
titles: Image of Australia, {"
Image of Italy" and Image
Of Britain g." Do not be put
off by the use of that violated
word image" 1t is used
here in it's neologistic sense,
probably because somebody
thought that Australia, I"
ITALY" and Britain" are not
the kind Of words that can
safely be left alone on the
cover of a periodical. But
this is of no consequence. The
contents are unsullied.
The single regular issue at
hand, the one for the spring
of this year, probably gives an
adequate idea of an average
copy. There are nonfiction,
fiction and poetry, each cate
CORY neatly marked. This is
the usual thing. What mat
tiers is the quality. The level
of The Texas Quarterly is re-
markedly high.
The most impressive piece of
fiction bears the most impress
sive name, that of Friedrich
Duerrenmatt which, by the
way, is misspelled through
out. Duerrenmatt's 1.-The Mis-
sion of the Vega" is a radio
play that has previously been
printed in German, and is
offered here in a smooth and
idiomatic translation by Al
fred Schild.
IN EUROPE the radio play
is an art form, and in this
sense at least. Australia is her
child. The Australian issue
carries a study of Australian
radio plays by r. F. Brissen-
den. Duerrenmatt's vigorous
and thoroughly chilling play
seems technically elementary,
but it is in fact magnificently
well and carefully calculated
for its special medium. To-
gether with Mr.. Brfssenden's

School Shelters

The school principals Of
the District of Columbia and
its suburbs have had a tough
problem thrown at them:
The making of emergency
plans for hundreds Of thou
sands of children If nuclear
attack is threatened during
school hours. \
The Districts problem diff
ferS from that of surround
ing suburban areas: Our ele-
mentary schools have no
Easements, and our secon-
dairy schools offer Unite d
amounts Of fallout protec-
ton, but many schools are
near large buildings which
qualified under the recent
Federal survey as fallou t
shelters and which might Of
fer a place of refuge (de-
pending on the generosity of
the owner and his willing
ness to co-operate).
Our suburban neighbors
are faced with a real poser:
Their glaSs-trimmed, base
mentless schools are often in
the midst Of a single family
residential area W here the
potential S h elter resources
are extremely limited. In Ell
Their case, the time is ripe
for legislation to expedite the
Presidents incentive program
for construction Of fallout
shelters in schools and nom
profit institutional buildings
to be shaken loose from
the Congressional committees
where it lies buried. If every
beleaguered PTA civil defense
chairman were to presen
himself on the doorstep Of
his Congressman immediate
ly after election day, House
and Senate appropriations
committee members could no
longer use public apathy as
an excuse for inaction.
