The Trouble With Some
Liberals

The trouble with being liberal is that ~ we
are so far out in front that lot of people can't
understand us, and (2) our position major social
and economic questions is sound and unassailable
that we are being continually Joined by politicians
whose convictions and understanding run quite bit
less than skin Deep and followed by politicians who
are basically out Of sympathy with our position.
1t has taken the Republicans until now to bring
themselves to the position social security which
we liberals held more than 80 years ago. But they
have followed on this only to justify their oppos-
ton to making expanded use Of the social security
principle, for instance to cover health care.
On the principle Of taxation according to the
ability to pay, the liberals have been Joined by a
great many people who do not understand the prin-
cipe, and who have twice helped to write into Min
nesota tax laws the head tax Currently $1O) which
falls exclusively on these least able to pay, and
which is forgiven so far as upper bracket taxpayers
are concerned But on the other hand even the most
backward Of reactionary politicians protests his
support Of the progressive principle In taxation and

late But up to this time little understanding or con-
viction has been shown the problem.
And so it goes The unhappy fact about all this
is that we need to make much more progress than
making, we need a great deal more Of the
imaginative forwardooking leadership that has de-
veloped some of these issues But this kind of lead
ership seems to be in short supply There plenty
of unenthusiastic protagonists and reluctant sup
porters of liberal causes Alas. This is not enough
Indeed, the difference between the unenthusiastic
supporter of current liberal causes and the passive
accepter of long-past liberal victories sometimes
becomes pretty indistinct.

liens something which was inevitable.
The Soviet's attempt to bluff the US. by ar

from our shores and at point which could con-
ceivably military dominate the whole of this hemis-

The Presidents statement frank, courage

Mr.. Kennedy pointed this out in his statement

us that no other course possible and while it
came not too soon, it had the ring of having come
to pass after careful judgement of both the nee

Our nation has often been put in the uncom-

Time To Be Aggressive!

There Is increasing urgency about the fight to
end discrimination in all areas where It affects
ployment- This applies not only to the area Of fair
employment practices and the area Of union men,
bership and apprenticeship; it applies with even
greater force to the entire field of education.
Not only Is it increasingly necessary to employ
people at the highest level of their abilities in order
to keep our economy operating well. Any other
course will aggravate the problem which is already
serious of a large segment Of the population for
whom there are no jobs.
There are no jobs because the employment op-
portnities for the underprvleged and unslilled in
our work force are drying up. Technology Is dis
placing them. Because of their underprivieged posi-
ton in society," because of their lack of opportunity
because Of their lack Of education, because Of all
these they largely unable to cope with new
situations
Their employment is being restricted every day.
in almost every field of work. In the construction
industry the jobs of laborers are a fraction
of what they only few years ago The timer
ant workers who followed the fruit harvest are now
seeing their jobs taken by mechanical tree-shakers
which drop the fruit on to cushions of compressed
air New mechanical devices daily replacing the
field hands in the market gardens. Throughout the
economy, the equivalent Of the push-button factory
is appearing very rapidly.
All Of this gives special point to the campaign
of the Nat9hal Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People to open up the membership of
unions now practicing discrimination and to make
apprenticeship training in the skilled trades avail
able without color restrictions The NAACP and its
friends and allies have alternative but to be very
aggressive about this. Likewise, they have no alter
native but to be very aggressive about the question
of equal educational opportunities, from the first
grade through the top academic levels
Moreover this Is not partisan ISSUE an
issue of special interest and prejudice 1t is ques
ton that concerns and involves all Americans. It
especially concerns and involves our fellow-Amer-
leans in the deep South who have been the most
extreme about drawing color line on educational
and employment opportunity. Here the consequences
of discrimination bound to show up in their most
aggravated form, the developing economy poses
the problem in every part Of the country.
Even today we are face to face with a stagger-
ing problem of what the economists now calling
the ''unemployable" in work force-unemploy-
able meaning people willing and able to work, for
whom there jobs at the level Of their training
and ability. Nobody, even in the deep South wants
these people to become permanently unemployed

That the met weight" on pre-packaged foods
Is often msstated and that it frequently if not al

evidently condone this?
That when you buy the small economy-sized

you buy the jumbo eggs?
That eggs have to be date-stamped according to
the date when they were handled and graded, but
that the distributor Is allowed to code the date so
that the buyer can figure it out only with great
difficulty?
That off-size sale" items in toilet tissue, po-
tato chips and perhaps many other items almost
always cost more than the same items in standard
measures at regular shelf prices?
That soaps and detergent powders often cost
less per ounce in the smaller sizes than in the
larger?
That the price per pound for a side or quarter
Of beef for your locker applies to sizeabe amount
of unusable trim well to the usable meat, and
that some of the advertised bargains are not such
bargains after all?
That canned goods your grocers shelves
come in at least 16 different sizes, that some of
these sizes cannot be distinguished by the naked
eye, and that some of the differences appear to be
designed principally to confuse the consumer?
That the grocer's shelves loaded with stuff
that looks like cheese, but contains 50% mois
ture and little 1O% of the fat content of real
cheese?

pamphlets by the Metropolitan Consumers Coopera-
tive When Attorney General Walter F. Mondale

doing. More power to him.

Osaka Is q Teeming Trade Center

There are, finally, Just two
alternatives to such q jun
gle-like economic cold war.
One is hot war with con-
Stunning nuclear flame. The
other is to establish some
thing like the European COM
munity on a world basis.
That cannot be done until
the Communist powers are
willing to modify their poll
cies. Meanwhile, there is not
the slightest possibility that
the increasing competition
from Asia, including Red
China, and from Europe will
grow less. 1t will increase.
Here in Osaka are dealers
and traders from all over
the world. The Americans
and British are here in con-
siderable numbers. The Jap
aneSe are buying machines,
selling machines, buying fac
tories, selling factories. The
tall towers of electric power
lines march across the
islands. There is not enough
room in Osaka to build need
ed schools. There is not
room for more factories. But
they make room.
And always the Japanese
figuratively are looking over
their shoulder at Red China.

Chiroprdctors
Challenge

The Food and Drug Admin
istration's drive to stop use Of
micro dynameter diagnosing
machines by chiropractors has
been challenged in a civil suit
filed here.
The suit. filed yesterday at
District Court by Attorney
Jacob Sheeskin, is intended as
q class action on behalf Of
chiropractors who use the
micro-dynameters.
The FDA said last December
that patients were being
hoodwinked" through use Of
the device and announced
plans to seize the machines
here and across the country.
Plaintiffs in the suit filed
yesterday were two chiroprac-
tors in bennington, Pa. and
one In Chester, Pa. Chiroprac-
tors manipulate joints, especial
ly the spine.
The suit alleged that state
ments made by FDA DETAINED
users Of micro dynameter
equipment. It asked that FDA
be barred from criticizing the
mashine.
The plaintiffs said that they
believe the micro dynameter
device Is both helpful and safe.
The suit also asks that FDA be
prevented from seizing the
diagnosing devices.
The micro-dynameters, ac-
cording to the FDA, cost about
1915 each. The FDA said the
devices can do little more than
measure perspiration on a pa
tents skin.
At the time the FDA an
nounced its seizure plans, it
was reported the machine in
one test gave readings on two
cadavers similar to ones it gave
on living persons.

Europe's New Self Confidence

come the intense economic
crisis through our assistance
in food and other necessities.
All this does not mean
that there is no economic
intercourse between Western
Europe and the USSR and
her satellites. But it is being
done on q strict business
basis which works to the adj
vantage Of the Europeans.
The Red bloc realizes that
unless this is continued, its
economic progress - despite
the Soviets' massive military
and nuclear power-will be
dangerously handicapped.
The best example Of the
need for such intercourse is
illustrated in the trade rela-
tions between the two Ger
manys.
Until last August when
Prime Minister Ulbricht. on
Russian orders, erected the
Berlin Wall, the economic
situation Of Germany was
tolerable. The exchanges per-
mitted the East Germans to
have something to eat and
wear; they also permitted a
satisfactory production in
their factories. After the wall
was erected all trade agree
ments were denounced. In
less than a year East Ger
many has become the pauper
of the Communist bloc. It is
being described as "Europe's
China"
The realization Is that q
war as destructive as that
which is being trumpeted at
home cannot take place while
the aggressor suffers from q
severe economic plight. Ex-
perienced European states
men are convinced Russia
will not unleash a war Of ex-
termination. And, similarly,
they are puzzled about our
policy Of "giveaway" to the
SovietS' satellites. Why does
not powerful America follow
their example and look plac-
idly at the antics of the
would-be modern Franken-
stein monster, instead of
rushing hither and yonder

Jopon's Big Business City Expanding
After Setback From Reds Chino Rule
RALPH McGILL

OSAKA. Japan. - This Is
perhaps the greatest COM
mercial city in Asia. Its CEN
ter is not shops and enter
tainment, but the solid build
ings Of banks and trade. In
the daytime it is busy, its
streets choked with the heavy
traffic Of trucks, taxis and
cars. Its many canals and
the passages to the sea are
crowded with bargeS and
tugs. In the Hobbies of the
larger hotels one sees bust
neSSmen from America, Eu-
rope, Burma, Indonesia,
Thailand and other Asian
countries meeting with their
Japanese counterparts. In
nearby Kobe, Soviet ships are
coming with more frequency.
In the textile mills one sees
huge bales Of printed and
woven cloth and Of silk ad-
dressed to the many coun-
tries Of Asia and the West.
Before ones eyes the word
trade" becomes physically
visible.
At night, unlike Tokyo,
Osaka stills. There is a calm
beauty that seems to fall
with the dusk, and always a
new, cool breeze begins to
blow away the humid heat
of the day.
Osaka has its night life,
its strip-tease night clubs,
and its honky-tonk dives. But
they largely are on the side
streets or down the narrow,
decorated passages whic h
look like a movie set for
some oriental drama. They
do not seem to shout at one
as do those of Tokyo.
Osaka has, too, It's coffee
houses. Some offer folk mu-
sic, including hillbilly records
from America. Others play
