criticized the Postmaster Cen

a Negro postman, w. w. Law,

Senator Johnston, whose

feels the reinstatement was a

as a result "of a campaign of
harassment" by the National

The Case, said Senator
Johnston, has brought insult

Kennedy's Comment

President Kennedy was asked
about the speech by Senator
Jackson, who was Democratic Ma
tional Committee chairman dur
ing the 1860 presidential cam
paign and who is a personal friend
of the Presidents.
Mr.. Kennedy enthusiastically
defended the U. N. as an organi-
zation which serves the interests
of the United States" Then, leav-
ing some reporters taken aback,
he said that ION this matter, Ger
tainly. there is no disagreement
between us" that is. between him
self and the Senator.
Meanwhile, the debate flared
over the Presidents determine
ton to help solve the U. MS fl
nancial problem by putting up
half of the total amount of money
the organization needs.
Mr.. Kennedy accepted the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tees modified version, which
would commit the United States
to buy $25 million in 25-year,
2 per cent bonds at the outset
and then match other Nations
purchases up to an additional $75

been the White Houses sensitiv-
ity to world opinion" or perhaps
more accurately, the opinion of the
So-called non-aligned and newly
independent nations.
Last week, the depths of some
of these feelings were demon
Strated anew.
Speaking before the National
Press Club, Senator Henry M.
Jackson, chairman of a special
Senate subcommittee which has
been making study of decision
making problems in the executive
branch, declared that the Ken
nedy administration, like the Eli
Senhower, attaches too much i'm
portance to the United Nations.
In blunt language, he said:
"The truth is, though we have
not often spoken it in recent
years, that the best hope for
peace with justice does not lie
in the United Nations. Indeed,
the truth is almost exactly the
reverse. The best hope for the
United Nations lies in the main
tenance of peace and peace
depends on the power and unity of
the Atlantic community and on
the skill of our direct diplo-
macy
"The concept of world opinion
has been, I fear, much abused.
Whatever it is and whatever the
Importance that should be at
tached to it to hide behind
something called world opinion
is all too often the device of the
timid, or the last resort of some
one who has run out of argu-
mentS."

Politics.:
Nixon Again

Former Vice President Nixon
disputed with the White House
last week whether President
Kennedy was told by the CIA
about the Cuban invasion plan
before the 1860 election. Mr..
Nixon said he had been. The
White House denied it and was
backed up by Allen Dulles.
The American political candi-
date might phrase it a little diff
ferently, but he couldn't agree
more with Job, who wrote in
Chapter XXI, Verse IS, the Old
Testament:
my desire is that mine
adversary had written a book" "
Mr.. Nixon has written a book
and the betting is today that Gov.
Edmund (Pat) Brown of Cali
fornia, the man the former Vice
President is trying to unhorse,
couldn't be more delighted.
The reason became clear last
week with the first news of the
Nixon book, "Six Crises" In it,
Mr.. Nixon said that Mr.. Kennedy,
in a briefing by the Central IN
telligence Agency during the pres
idential campaign, had been told

The II. NJ:
Second Look

Democratic Senator Jackson
charged on Tuesday that the
United States Government over
rates the importance of the
United Nations.
Debate on the U. N. bond
issue continued last week, with
President Kennedy accepting a
modification of his $1OO million
loan plan and Republicans in
the Senate pushing their own
solution.
No matter how one might wish
1t were not so, it is a fact that
there has been an increasing dis
enchantment in the Western
world with the United Nations.
Among the NATO nations, Por-
tugal and France have been the
most outSpoken in questioning the
value of the international organi-
zation. But West Germany, the
Netherlands, Belgium and even
Great Britain - or some of its
highest officials, at any rate-are
not happy with the state of U. N.
affairs or with its immediate pros
poets.
In the United States there has,
of course, always been a vocal
minority which considers the U. N.
a waste of time and money, or
worse. While the great majority
of Americans, and the govern
ments in power in Washington
since World War II, have been
its strong supporters, the U. N.
has. in the past year or two, been
the subject of some considerable
second thoughts in this country.

Aiken Plan

An alternative plan submitted
by Senators Aiken of Vermont,
a U. N. supporter, and Hicken-
looper of Iowa, failed to pass the
Foreign Relations Committee by
an 8 to 7 vote. This plan would
have provided for an outright $100
million loan, repayable at about
4 per cent interest in three years.
Administration leaders said the
G. o. P. proposal would have to
be approved by a special vote of
the U. N. General Assembly and
they expressed doubt, furthermore,
that the U. N. would be able to
repay the loan that quickly.
The Republican opposition,
joined by some Southern Demo-
Gratis, indicates the fight the Pres
ident has on his hands if he is
to finally have his way in the
matter. The debate over the poll
tax elimination, which is expected
to carry over through most Of
this week, has given the COM
promisers a breathing space.
Whether they will be able to pro-
mote an agreement between the
leaders of the opposing sides re-
> mains to be seen.

president Of AFL, told a House.
Senate Committee that it smacked
OF "fascism, Hitlerism and a form
of Sovietism."
Robert Fetchner, vice president
Of the International Association
OF Machinists and an old friend
OF Mr.. Roosevelt's from Woodrow
Wilson's administration, was ap-
pointed director of the CCC.
First Comp in Virginia
The first camp, Camp Roose-
welt. was set up at Edinburgh,
Va. on April II, 1888. BY 1887
every state, the District Of Co.
lumbia and the principal Ter
ritorial possessions had at least
one or more camps with an aver
age of 200 workers per camp.
Most corpsmen stayed six
months to a year. Before its
liquidation in 1943, military drill
was ordered for the men in the
CCC on August 16, 1941 with the
approach of World War II.
Through March 81, 1899 the
CCC had employed approximately
2,180.000 men. Their work totaled
85 million man-days spent in
forest fire suppression; more than
575.4 million forest trees planted
and 100000 miles of roads and
trials completed and maintained.
Opposition to the present bill
comes mainly from Republicans.
They compare the Sc per cent
unemployment in today's civilian
labor force to the Is per cent
unemployment rate of 1888 and
argue that there is no present
need for made-work legislation.
The YCC camps of Mr.. Hum
phrey would have one bright touch
that the old CCC camps never
had-girls. The provision for fe-
male corpsmen takes into account
that girls make up almost half
OF the teen-age labor force. And
although confirmed in his opposi-
ton to the bill, Senator Dirksen,
Republican Of Illinois, had to ad-
NIT he was intrigued by the
social possibilities involved"

Closing the Case

ference on Wednesday that the
White House and Dulles state
ments closed the case as far as he
was concerned.
Mr.. Nixon admitted no error.
In fact, he said he had person
ally researched the facts relating"
to Cuba in his book and added,
MY book speaks for ITSELF"
There is little doubt, however,
that the incident will cause Can
didate Nixon embarrassment
Gov. Browns supporters will see
to it-during the coming guber-
material campaign in California.

ready concluded that the Repub-
lican leaders fight for political
survival was going to be touch

One Of the New Deals happiest
shades will be revived shortly
when the Senate takes up debate
on the Youth Conservation Corps
,(YCC) bill introduced by Sena-
tor Hubert H. Humphrey, Demo-
crat Of Minnesota. It would create
q new corps modelled after the
Civilian Conservation Corps
c(CCC) Of Franklin D. Roosevelt
In the 1906.
The reason for the new bill,
according to Senator Humphrey,
Is that it would help cope with
the high ratio of teen-age unem-
,ployment, 142 per cent out of
the 5,086, 900 teen-agerS in the ci-
villain labor force. Also it would
start a number of State conserva-
ton programs, planned but not
going because of lack of funds
and manpower. Under the bill
10000 young men would be put
to work the first year. 1t would
require an appropriation Of about
$120 million.
In pushing this program Sena-
tor Humphrey places most en-
phasis on the backlog of conser-
vation work needed in national
parks and forests. He is confident
his bill will pass this session even
though the House might water it
down more in conformity with a
bill in that body now. The House
tbill has won committee approval.
1t would limit the program to
10000 youths in the first three
years.

would not be carried out under
the supervision of the military.

lected for their proximity to the
work to be done, the camps would
be run by trained conserva-
tionists and not Army Reserve
officers.
Senator Humphrey Is, as was
President Roosevelt, a consistent
champion for the conservation
cause. For Mr.. Roosevelt the CCC
was not Just another made-work
project. bringing the depression's
young unemployed to the vast
chore of conserving the American
countryside but the beginning of
a national conservation policy.
Forest conservation had been
an obsession and a hobby of Mr..
Roosevelt since his early teens.
ReforeStation experts had hailed
his privately practised theories,
such as the strategic growing of
Christmas trees for conservation
as well as commerce. And the CCC,
although originally accused of be-
ing just another leaf raking out
fit" went on to shine in polls
as one of the most popular
measures of the New Deal.
He Outlined CCC
AS Governor of New York, Mr..
Roosevelt had taken 10000 men
from the unemployment rolls and
employed them successfully in re-
forestation. But that was a very
miniature trial run for the CCC
that was created on March 81,
1888. This corps employed 100000
young men between the ages of
II and %, at $50 a month, on
approximately 200 major types of
work on forests, floods, parks,
roads and pests.
Congress was hesitant about
giving the Executive such a vast
and unSpecified authority as
stated in the bill, "for the relief
of unemployment through the
performance of useful public
works."
Actually the most violent op-
position to the bill came from
labor, over such points as federal
control, wages and the operation
