Official Criticizes Leaning to Big India
While Overlooking Loyal Small Nation

ROME - A highly placed
Pakistani. on his way to Paris
and London, lamented that
"the United States uses the
same method in choosing
friends as a Pakistani house.
wife; she thinks that the
bigger the fish the bigger the
bargain"
This was said with a tinge
of bitterness because at the
time when Messrs. Nehru
and Krishna Menon are rat
tling their sabers for the
benefit of their Western
neighbors. we, in the opinion,
of the Pakistanis, are pussy
footing. "You are more i'm
pressed" said the Pakistani
official, with the 400 mil
lion Indians than by the
loyalty of 80 million in Pakis-
tan to the cause of freedom"
Pakistan, one of the pillars
Of the CENTO and SEATO, is
concerned over Indian ag-
gression. Its intelligence re-
ports massive concentration
Of Indian forces at the bor-
ders.
The Pakistanis feel they
are being treated by WASH
ington as a second-class ally,
although they have given
proof of unflinching loyalty.
They are disappointed be-
cause the military assistance
given them has always been
governed by the fear in
Washington that we should
not go too far since it might
offend India.
The Indians have never
concealed their hostility to
Pakistan. At the outset of
the Korean war when we
were hard pressed by the
Reds, Pakistan offered to
send one full motorized divi-
sion. (The Pakistani army,

out that what we need now

The huge pool of unem-

Of labor that will work at a

Primary Moves in Pennsylvania

Confronting a deadline Of
February 20, the State Legis-
lative Redistricting Commit
tees have come up with a
pattern which political writ
ers believe will become law.
Under it Mr.. Green will lose
one Of Philadelphia's six
seats, all held by Democrats,
and Republican leaders have
had to agree to consolidate
four Republican districts into
three.
Democrats seem to have
achieved their preference in
a solution Of the third loss,
but the decision is not yet
final.
Unless agree ent is
reached promptly, all of
Pennsylvania Representa-
tives must run at large, which
neither party wants. It is
abhorrent to all present
members who are little
known outside their own
districts and would face
costly, energy consuming
Statewide campaigns.
Republicans ambitious to
be Governor are numerous.
They feel that Mr.. Dilworth's
reform halo has slipped, due
to recent scandals in the city
government. Also. Mr.. Dill
worth has a tart, impulsive
tongue which Republicans re-
gard as their own secret
weapon against him.

Many persons worry these
days-including officers of
unions. Automation and the
seemingly hard core of ir-
reducible unemployment gives
them most concern. They do
not oppose the new machines.
They see in them an eventual
increase in employment by
the creation of new jobs. But
there Is a lag. And in that
time when automation has
eliminated thousands of work
situations and has not had
time to provide requirements,
there is a cruel impact on
men and women. whose skills
once gave them a sense Of Sc
curity and a lack Of appre-
hension about the business Of
making a living.
For labor officials there Is
yet another worry. Automa-
tion takes an accelerated toll
Of union membership. No
union is immune, although
the huge industrial unions,
especially steel and automo-
bileS, are hardest hit. Time
was when basic steel was the
key industry. Now it is auto
mobiles, the largest users of
steelworkers' products, which
hold the eye of economists
and market analysts. The
new cars are moving and in
dustry is stockpiling steel
against a day in spring. Be-
cause, when spring comes
round with the rustling of
shade and when apple bios
SONS fill the air, the Nation
will have ringside seats at
what will be perhaps the
most historically meaningful
drama Of our time.
The steelworkers will pre-
sent demands for a shorter
work week with no cut in
wages. 1t is at least open to
question whether the econom-
lists of the union privately be-
lieve this is economically
wise. It runs counter to the
administrators position. The

Two Mechanics Lament the Laxity
Of Labor on Troininq New Workers

In the strange camaraderie
OF hospital waiting rooms
where strangers sit for long
spans Of hours in an atmos-
phere wherein is met COM
passion, despair, death, life,
hope, courage, fear - there
are many conversations. Men
and women make them to
escape being isolated with
apprehension.
Two men, both mechanics,
made part of one such ex-
perience. One worked in a
railroad shop, the other in
automobile repairs. Both
were middle-aged, skilled
workers.
"In 10 years." said one, IT
don't know who is going to be
repairing automobiles. You
have to be a magician now.
And they, management and
the unions, are not doing
anything about training new
ones. We are all getting old.
The union isn't aggressive
about apprentices. They say
not many young men are
interested any more. I can't
believe that, with the thou
sands Of unemployed. I think
1t is just fear on the part of
us older men that there will
be a shortage of work. I can't
see that. There are new ma
chimes and tools. Today's
cars require less work. But q
man must really be skilled
to repair them. And I read
about the new motors ahead

The railroad shopman nod
ded an affirming head. "The

DiIworth Quitting as Mayor to Campaign

The two Paladins of Phil

the finest in the WORLDLY All
that the then President Mira
Khan asked from Washing
ton was to obtain Mr.. Nehru's
formal assurance that while
that division was fighting in
Korea there would be no ag-
gresSive actions by India
against Pakistan.
Mr.. Nehru refused to grant
that request, and the Paki-
stani division remained at
home when we needed it
most. When John Foster
Dulles suggested the creation
of the CENTO and SEATO,
the government then at Ka-
rachi joined Fundamentally
not only to help the remain
ing free nations in Asia but
also as a matter of self-de-
fense. For, according to the
judgment of the Pakistan
leaders, the United States
was certain to help a loyal
ally when menaced by an ag-
gressor.
Mr.. Nehru and Mr.. Krishna
Menon have now tasted
blood. They were able to in
wade and swallow up with
immunity the Portuguese en-
claves. There were some
lamentations by the British
and American governments
but nobody offered even
moral assistance to little
Portugal. one Of the original
members of the NATO. The
Russian veto, as Mr.. Nehru
had been assured beforehand,
killed any Security Council
resolution.
The Pakistanis have no
love for colonialism. But
they see in the Indian action
not anti-colonialism, but a
desire to expand at the ex-
pense of all it's weaker neigh
borS. In recent days there
has been talk in New Delhi
about q final reckoning with

successfully reached for vari-
GUS forms of Federal pa
tronage.
The Dilworth-C Clark camp
has not overlooked the
troublesome potential of the
Green influence with the
White House. Knowing also
the Presidents fondness for
polls, they have had q poll
taken by a trusted Kennedy
polltaker and it is being con-
veyed to the administrations
political arm.
While not definitive, it
gives encouragement to Mr..
Dilworth's argument that he
can win. No other phrase
equals those words in poll
tical magic when backed by
credible evidence.
A quarrel with Mr.. Green
over the succession at city
hall is a possibility. OF this
Dilworth spokesmen say only
that they will not hesitate
to tangle with Mr.. Green if
necessary.
Until now, the states for

Pakistan. OF course, the
Indian army knows that 1t
will find its Moslem oppo-
nents tough, indeed. All the
same it will find a numerical
ly weaker army possessing
less modern equipment. We
have applied slow motion in
providing these Asian allies
with modern military tools.
One reason for this is that
the managed democracy"
adopted by the PakistaniS in
1858 when Gen. Ayub Khan
took over the reinS is distaste-
full to many ideologists in
Washington. .-.
Now that Mr.. Nehru talks
in terms of a crusade" to
recover the holy land of
India, the Pakistanis are con-
cerned. They know that the
United Nations can be of no
use to them. They have
looked in the past to the
United States as a potential
deterrent of Indian ambi-
tions. They know that India,
without our economic and
financial support cannot sur
vive and they have been hop
ing that we would talk stern
ly to the New Delhi govern
ment whenever it began to
show what Gen. Ayub calls
"its true face"
Our failure to use eco

of Portugal has aroused con-
siderable misgivings in Pakis-

argument that India is a

a big howl If they went UP
there are some practical bar
riers. Supposedly the tax
changes are to be made when
business conditions would
seem to the theorists to re-
quire such a shift. Where is
the expert to be found who
is wise enough, upon waking
UP some morning, to decide
that taxes should be reduced
to stimulate consumer spend
ing or raised to stop initiation
as he rushes to the White
House to persuade the Presi-
dent to sign the appropriate
executive order?
Nobody seems to have
thought about the problem
of how to change suddenly
all the tax forms and how
to provide a procedure for
taxpayers to revise in the
middle of a tax year the es-
Inmates they have already
submitted and on which they
may have made payments.
The mere task Of checking
returns in a year when an
abrupt change in tax rates
has taken place would be a
colossal job.
But, even though the ad-
ministrative difficulties could
be. surmounted by paying out
a few millions of dollars for
extra clerks and revised
forms, the remedy could
prove worse than the disease.
There is no certainty, for in
stance, that a sudden stimu-
lus to consumer spending
would come at the right time.
Who knows when a recession
has run it's course or when
one is about to begin? The
formula could easily result in
amounts Of change in tax
receipts that would be either
too small or too large to fit
the conditions prevailing.
Congress would be in a hot
spot no matter what hap
pened. First. there is the
criticism that Congress would
be surrendering It's constitu-
tional powers. 1t has been
argued that Congress could
always nullify a tax change
