earn outside their island home
land. They enjoy the services of
most Federal agencies. They use
the American money and postal
systems. Their goods are inside
our tariff walls and they can move
as freely to the Mainland and
back as New Workers can to
California.
Puerto Ricans are subject to the
draft 100000 served in the United
States Armed forces during the
Korean conflict; all but 5000 were
volunteers). They pay Federal ex-
else taxes on goods purchased in
the States. They cannot vote for
President or other United States
offices unless they reside and
qualify as a voter in one Of the
States. Their legislatures laws
must conform to the United States
Constitution, and the Supreme
Court here is the court of final
appeal in their judicial system.
BY mutual agreement with the
United States they can change
their status. The Puerto Rican
congress has authorized a refer
endum which would allow the is
landers to choose independence,
continuation of the Common
wealth or statehood. So far, no
petition for the calling of such
a referendum has reached the
government.
The Statehood party has had
considerable growth in strength,
but was still outnumbered almost
two to one at the polls in 1860
by Gov. Munoz' party. The In
dependence Party vote was less
than 4 per cent. Gov. Munoz
favors continuation of the Com
monwealth status for now chiefly
because of the economic burdens,
such as Federal taxes, which
statehood would bring. hide
pendence would add the burdens
of defense establishment, trade
barriers to the Mainland, and
many other problems, the Com
monwealth advocates note.

Yet the remarkable feature OF
the Puerto Ricans has been the
energy with which they have
tackled not the political but the
economic problems of their home
land. 1t was Gov. Munoz who
preached that the islands poverty,
not its status, was the number one
problem. In 1910, the party he
founded, the Popular Democrats,
campaigned on a broad program
of reforms. Although only 2 years
old, the party won control of the
Legislature.
The story of Puerto Rico's
emergence from poverty-a pow
erty that provoked the use of such
book and article titles as "Chil-
dren of Famine" and THE Strick-
en- Land" is we'll known. Opera
ton BootStrap" has boosted per
capita income more than fivefold
in the last two decades, and I'M
derdeveloped nations around the
world have sent experts to the

Perhaps the key to Puerto Rico's
rise has been its cadre Of pro-
gressive, democratic leaders, al
most all Of whom received a por-
ton of their educational and job
training in The United States.
Rather than returning to their
homeland to foment political re-

ROME - Mario is an italian
worker who has moved from down
on the farm to the big city. But
wherever he has lived, the Com
munists have found him and
wooed him.
1t is because Of Mario and
millions of others like him that
the Italian government this year
made an alliance with socialism
in a move that Prime Minister
Amintore Fanfani calls opening to
the left" Mr.. Fanfani. Christian
Democrat, has adopted leftish
. policies (such as naturalization
of electricity in order to rally
Socialist support and possibly to
isolate the Communists.
To succeed, Fanfani must prove
to Mario the worker that this
regime can do more for him than
the Communists.
Mario grew UP in Southern
Italy, always the poorest section
of the country. He and his family
were crowded into one room in
a crumbling stone building which
had no glass window panes, no
heat, no electricity and no
plumbing. His wife had to walk
200 yards to the fountain in the
central piazza of the village to
get water for washing, cooking

ern, to drink cheap red wine. In
the back room are some card ia
bleS and a television set.
And who set up this little club
for him? The Communist Party.
On television, Mario watches
the commercials and sees the
things he wants but cannot yet
buy - washing machines, radios,
compact automobiles, refriger-
ators. Because of this, Mario is
more disconnected than ever.
The Communists have played
on such feelings lately in spear
heading strikes in key industries.
The strikes put the Fanfani
government on the spot. If Fan
FAM holds the line against wage
rises, the Communists can tell
Mario they are his only real
friends.
On the other hand, if Premier
Fanfani goes along with labor de-
mands, it may put a brake on
the economic boom.
The Communists have suffered
some election losses lately.
But the Communist Party is
still the second largest in Italy,
and almost one-fourth of Italy'S
voters still cast their ballots for
the Communists. They are in posi-
ton to come back strong If Fan
fani's opening to the left fails to
satisfy Mario and his friends.

increasingly tied to the United
States"
He recalls wildly his excitement
sitting next to the former ap-
pointed Governor of the island
during World War II, Rexford G.
Tugwell, as the latter penned a
letter to President Roosevelt sug-
costing that the next Governor of
the island be a Puerto Rican. The
suggestion was carried out by
President Truman in 1916.
Today the presence of Mr.. Mos
coso, Arturo Morales Carbon
deputy Assistant Secretary for
Inter-American Affairs in the
State Department. a nd other
Puerto Ricans in our Government
suggests a still closer association
with the island. A majority Of the
estimated $500 Puerto Ricans liv-
ing in the Nations Capital hold
positions within the Government
or the various international agen-
cies to which the United States
belongs.
Top Customer
Puerto Rico has become one Of
the top 10 customers for Main
land goods. It's people have filled
vital jobs in all sectors of the
economy. In turn, American tour
lists and businesses have flocked to
Puerto Rico. And the island It
self, and what it stands for, has
become a bridge between the
United States and the other
Americas.
In short, Puerto Rico has proved
to be far greater treasure than
was ever imagined when the
American liberators landed July
rs, 1898, wrestling its control from
Spain. 1t is significant that the
Puerto Rican government selected
this same date 81 years later to
proclaim the Inauguration Of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
now a unique and strong partner
in the free world.

and drinking. Mario worked sea-
sonally as a farm laborer for SO
cents day.
In that village, the only ones
who seemed to care for Mario
were the Communists. When he
wanted to buy groceries cheap,
Mario shopped at the consumer
CO operative operated by the
Communists. When he needed
medical care, ne went to a Com
munist clinic.
Mario was pulled out of his
village by Italy's runaway boom
of the last few years, an ECO
nomic miracle" rivaling that of
West Germany. His cousin Giu-
seppe wrote from Turin in the
north that he could get a job in
the Fiat auto works for 10 times
what he made on the farm. Mario
packed UP his wife, widowed
mother and four children and
said goodby to the village.
When he reached Turin, the
promise proved correct.
But there are problems. The
big migration into Turin pro-
duced housing shortage. Mario
and his family had to crowd into
a sour-smelling basement.

Mario can't face going home 20

The fight against the court

K. Wheeler of Montana, who had
been considered a liberal himself.
Senator Joseph O'Mahoney Of
Wyoming also denounced the adj
ministration's aims.
But the strain Of directing the

his health had not been good. On

found dead of a heart attack by
a maid in his home at ITO Mary

The following day, Mr.. Roose-

further by writing a letter to

But by then, the New Deal
drive had lost much Of its steam.
Vice President Garner acted to
mend the severe party break. He
learned that a group of I'M

sidetrack the court bill unless a
compromise was reached. The
compromise talk failed to shake
the bills opponents. Finally. the
administration bowed.
The decisive vote took place

The quiet success of Puerto
Rico's transition from colonial
status to commonwealth has been
somewhat overshadowed by the
sudden, oftentimes violent shat
tering of colonial ties elsewhere
in the world. Nationalist and
Communists the world over have
tried to make the colonial label
stick to the United States on the
issue of Puerto Rico's status, but
in 1853 the United Nations Of
ficially recognized Puerto Rico'S
self-governing status by no longer
requiring us to file reports on
the island to its Trusteeship Com
mission.
Fonotic Assault
Fanatic Puerto Rican ma
tionalists made headlines with
their 1850 assault on Blair House
and the 1854 shooting in the
House of Representatives, but
their strength today is officially
estimated at less than 100.

Ricans as non-nationalistic citi-
zens of the United States and
says that Puerto Rico has by

strating "a new way of abolishing
colonial status"
The history of our relationship
with the island has not been
without it's "Yanqui no" feelings.

At his most recent news con-
ference, President Kennedy said
the United States was waiting for
its NATO partners to come up
with a plan of their own for a
new multinational nuclear strik-
ing force.
%. a.. We think it is a matter
on which Europe should come for
ward with some suggestions, and
not for the United States to i'm
pose its views" the President de-
clared in a statement which was
dispatched to American diplo-
matte posts throughout the world
for guidance on the subject.
But while there may be reasons
for wanting to keep the issue
on the backburner-until Britain
enters the Common Market and
the West completes the new round
of disarmament talks with the
Soviet Union-top officials of the
State Department, Pentagon and
White House staff are working
feverishly to find a politically and
militarily feasible solution to the
vexing problem of nuclear arms
for an increasingly stronger and
more independent Europe.
Sea- Bosed System Fovored
This is entirely proper and log
ical. We have had by far the
greatest experience with nuclear
weapons and it only makes sense
that we offer concrete suggestions
on how best we and they can
cooperate to build a NATO or
multinational force.

aide on international security mat

tense Paul Mite and the State

now brought solutions nearer on
two Of the prickliest problems:
o Command and control of the
nuclear weapons and the combat
forces that would use them. A de-
tailed plan has been drawn up
and is under intensive study.
Q Where should the rockets be
based? The American Govern
ment position is that it should be
primarily a sea-based system.

here is high that it will.

July is very significant month
for Puerto Ricans.
AS American citizens they are
part of the tradition Of the Fourth
and the Declaration of hide
pendence, Of course. But they also
celebrate a holiday which has a
special significance to them and,
in a deeper sense, to the cause
of freedom.
Ten years ago, on July Is, 1852,
Puerto Rico became a Common
wealth or Associated Free State"
under a unique compact with the
United States. In drawing up and
voting for their own constitution,
Puerto Ricans ended five CEN
turtles of search for a status.
This search embraced Spanish
colonialism, American military &C.
cupation, a vague period as an
American possession (unincorpo-
rated territory was the legal
definition) with no citizenship and
little participation in their own
government, and then, beginning
in 1917, a period of slow growth
of self-government.
Their Stotus is Unique
It began with the granting of
citizenship and the right to elect
both houses of their Legislature

sarily final goal, in the ratifica-
ton of the new constitution by
the United States in 1852.

100000 of whom live in the States,
is unique. They are American

gamut of research and develop

modifying it as necessary, spokesv
men reply that it would perform
the mission better.

conviction that it would be

ably agree. We would prefer a

the greater expense are suggesting
surface missile ships instead.
The Defense Department, under
heavy pressure from the Air Force,
is recommending a mix of sea-
based and mobile land-based
rockets. 1t is trying to convince

Criticism still echoes from the
right over the Supreme Courts
decision in June holding official
prayer illegal in the public schools
of the Nation. Conservative voices
of every degree joined in the pro-
test.
Perhaps the ruling and the re-
sulting angry reaction were in
dicative of the times. But in 1887
the liberals were the courts sever
est critics, and a massive attack on
the tribunal reached its climax
on. the Senate floor Is years ago
today. This was President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's reorganization
plan, branded by its opponents
the court packing bill"
The drive to push the measure
through the Senate began July 6,
as, Senator Joseph T. Robinson
of Arkansas warned that sessions
would be held day and night if
necessary.
The Majority Leader spoke in
an atmosphere charged with con-
flict. Almost from the moment
Mr.. Roosevelt disclosed his pro-
gram, it encountered violent OPP
position.
Sought Radical chonee
In brief, the President asked
the authority to name one men,
Der of the court for every justice
who had reached the voluntary
retirement age of 10 and failed
to resign. Since six of the mine
old men" were past 10, the plan
would have radically altered the
courts structure.
The Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, after long hearings, reported
the measure unfavorably, 10 to 8.
Since the Democrats held heavy
majorities in both houses as re-
suit of the 1886 landslide, the party
split severely over the measure.
But even before the Senate bat
tie, FDR attained some Of his
detectives. Chief Justice Hughes
and Justice Owen Roberts edged
away from the court conserva-
tives and joined the liberals in
sustaining New Deal economic
legislation.
In addition, Willis ]. Van
Devander, one of the Oldest JUS
tices, resigned. It was generally
expected that the post would go
to Senator Robinson. He was a
party stalwart who had run for
vice president on the AL Smith
ticket in the unhappy campaign
of 1928.
Opponents. UnyieIding
These developments weakened
the need for judicial reforms. But
even though the White House con-
sented to a milder substitute
allowing only two new appoint
ments, opponents were unyielding.
Angry debate ragged in the Sen
ate. Besides Senator Robinson.
the most aggressive defenders OF
the Presidents proposal were
Senators Guffey of Pennsylvania,
Logan of Kentucky and Minton Of
Indiana.
As the temperature climbed into
the high COS in these pre-air-con-
ditioning days, Senator Logan
dashed at Democrats who were
upfaithful to the party. Bitterly,
Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada
dared the New Dealers to eject
him from the party.
