It Is disheartening to learn
that high officials Of our
Government and some mem
bers of Congress and Of the
Supreme Court gathered at
a party at the Soviet Embassy
a few nights ago to bid fare
we'll to Mikhail MenShikov,
the retiring ambassador of
the Soviet Union.
Just why should any Ameri-
can pay homage to a ruthless
agent of Stain? This ambas-
sador's acts OF inhumanity
are written in the records of
the United States House of
Representatives and are well
known to people in Poland
who were the victims of his
cruelty.
Mr.. Menshikov was deputy
director-general of the United
Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration - usu-
ally referred to as UNRRA-
and served in Poland just
after World War II ended in
1945. His mission was to ar
range for the distribution of
UNRRA's relief supplies. He
handled his office in such a
way that the food and cloth
ing-largely supplied by this
country-went only to Com
munists and their followers.
A subcommittee of the House
of Representatives visited
Poland in 1945 to check up on
UNRRA's operations. Here is
an excerpt from its report as
filed in 1916 with the House
of Representatives:

Gains in Stature Made
By Kennedy, GoIdwoter
BY DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

On the political stock mar
ket Of 1861, the two big growth
stocks were those of President
Kennedy and Senator Goldwa-
ter.
Democrats, on the average,
were up a bit, reflecting the
increased confidence in their
leader, while Republicans. as
a group, were depressed
slightly by a number of fac
tors, including the failure of
their erstwhile star performer.
Gen. Eisenhower, to declare
any new dividends at the polls.
Liberal Republicans were hit
hard by a series of unexpected
setbacks. Conservative Demo-
Gratis, after weathering a severe
storm in the House Rules
Committee last January, rallied
to regain their traditional po-
sition of strength in Congress.
Municipal bosses in both
parties, however, started skid
ding early in the year and
never recovered.
President Popular
The outstanding performer of
the year was, without much
doubt, President Kennedy.
Coming into office with the
flimsiest kind of majority, he
combined executive and legisla-
tive action with publicity to
produce a rapid and sustained
growth in his standing in the
public opinion polls.
Mr.. Kennedy demonstrated
his increased potency at home
and abroad. He intervened in
what proved to be victorious
Democratic campaigns in New
York, New Jersey and Texas.
He also made a brief but ap-
parently effective tour of Latin
America to launch his chief
foreign policy initiative, the Al
lance for Progress.
The only other big name
politician appreciably stronger
at the start of 1862 than a year
ago was Senator Goldwater, the
Arizona Republican whose pol
icy views contradict the Presi-
dents at so many points. His
stock was boosted by the surge
of conservative sentiment
among Republicans and inde-
pendents dissatisfied with the
past efforts of Republican mod
crates to halt the advance of
liberal Democrats, and the
frankness of speech and the
gift for phraSe-making that
made him the most-publicized
Republican personality of the
year.
Last springs Texas upset
by Conservative Republican Sen
ator John Tower-it turned out
to be the years only major
G.. o. P. victory-gave Sena-
tor Goldwater his first Big
State political base. Whether
it will enable him to win the
1864 presidential nomination
is problematical, but, for the
moment at least, his actions
and statements seem to have
greater influence on the G. o. P
than anyone else's.
Gains Noted
Nationally, the Democratic
party looked somewhat stronger
at the close of 1861 than it die
at the beginning, largely be.

( provisions has filed its report
with the President.
Mr.. Hatcher said President
Kennedy and members of his
staff are studying the report.
Justice Department attorneys
were reported already in San
Francisco ready to go into court
with an 8O-day injunction plea
as soon as they get the signal
from Washington.
The strike, now in its fourth
week, has crippled West Coast
shipping and curtailed delivery
of vital supplies to the island
State of Hawaii. Gov. William
F. Quinn has declared a food
emergency in the islands and
appealed to the White House
to intervene.
Under the law, the Presi-
dent can empower Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy, to
seek an injunction to ban the
strike from continuing. The
Attorney General is expected to
flash the word to his waiting
aides in San Francisco.
Officials practically ruled out
the chances of an 18th hour
settlement that would make
these steps unnecessary.
This is the second occasion
on which President Kennedy
has found it necessary to in
woke the drastic Taft Hartley
procedures thus far during
his administration to cope with
labor disputes. Last July an
injunction was obtained to end
an East Coast maritime strike.
The employer organization
involved in the West Coast dis
pute, the Pacific Maritime
Association. had offered the
three unions involved raises in
pay and benefits valued at lis
per cent. This was said to
represent what the East Coast
unions eventually settled for
last summer.
Seek II Pet. Raise
The unions-the Sailors I'm
ion Of the Pacific, the Marine
Firemen. and the Marine Cooks
and Stewards-have insisted on
a II per cent raise. About 5000
members of the three unions
have been involved in the walk
out.
Both the West Coast ship
owners and the unions have
opposed using a court injunc-
ton to end the strike. The
ship owners were said to fear
the strike would only be re-
sumed at the end of the 30
day legal limit such an injunc-
ton is permitted to remain in
effect.
Until now the Taft-Hartley
law emergency provisions have
Evening star., 1962-04-11

been invoked 13 times in the
IA years the law has been on
the books. Court injunctions
have been sought and obtained
in IA of the cases.
There may be a legal battle
this time. The unions are re-
ported considering a counter
move in the courts to block
the injunction. This has been
attempted in the past on oc-
casion, but the courts have
consistently held with the Gov
ernment.

President Invokes Doctrine of Executive \ Privilege On "Muzzling''

WASHINGTON tR1 = President Kennedy invoked the doctrine o1 executive privilege Thursday to forbid Pentagon personnel to tell a Senate subcommittee the names of censors who altered texts of specific ti-Communist speeches. The chairman promptly upheld the plea
 T am convinced this execu- tive plea applies and the chair sustains it." said chairman John Stennis, D-Miss.).
 Up to the time of the Presi- dential intervention Stennis had been one of those attempting to elicit answers on the point.
 The only subcommittee mem Der objecting to the chairs ruling was Sen. Strom Thurmond, D- S.C.), whose charges that the mili- tary had been muzzled against anti-C Communist statements set off the subcommittee's study.
 Secretary of Defense Robert 5. McNamara read to the subcom- mittee a letter from the President invoking the executive privilege and directing Defense Department personnel from top to bottom not to disclose the information about any individual changes in texts
 The President held it would not be fin the public interest," to per- init the subcommittee to question the censors.
 Over objections from Thurmond that the talking should be done by Willis Lawrence, chief Penta- gon censor who was on the stand, McNamara interrupted the ques- tioning to read the Presidential letter.

 Buck Baker, 42-year-old stock car racing veteran from Char lotte, NC, says his answer is to aim straight at the developing wreck.
 That's honestly what I do,' Baker said, land I'm convinced that's the safest possible thing to do.
 You see wreck developing out in front of you, and you aim straight for it, and it will be gone by the time you get there" Baker explained. "If you aim anywhere else, it may be there by the time you get there"

Moisture Problem
By ANDY LANG
ContributingWriter

Along about this time ev-
cry year. the mailbag is laden
with questions about Excess
sive moisture in the home.
For the letter writer's, as
well as the thousands of 81
lent sufferers, here are some
facts and figures about the
humidity problem.
Moisture condensation re-
suits when the water vapor
in warm air comes in contact
with a cold surface. It is this
condensation which causes
paint to peel and wood to rot.
(This is entirely aside from
the health hazards of a con-
tinually damp living area.)
The most visible evidence Of
the condition is the forma-
ton of drops or streams of
water on the inside of a win
dow. When the water vapor
escapes through inside walls,
1t is not always apparent at
first. but shows up later in
such things as blister forma-
tions on outside paint sur
faces.
In older houses, where there
was a great leakage of air,
excessive humidity was sell
dem a problem. Today, with
such things as insulation,
storm sash, Misunderstanding
and other measures designed
to tighten the construction of
a house, the water vapor can
not escape and so condenses
on the inside. The situation
is made worse by the multi
plicity of modern appliances
which give off moisture.
The principle to be remem-

bering in attempting to cor
rect the humidity problem is
that the moisture must be
permitted to escape-but not
through the walls.
Where possible, this can
sometimes be done merely by
opening a window or two. But
more often it is necessary to
use exhaust fans in high
moisture areas, such as the
kitchen, bathroom and laun-
dry room.
In areas where furnaces are
in operation all winter, a
check should be made to de-
termine whether there is a
humidifier attached to the
heating plant. If so, it should
be shut Of, since it is merely
adding moisture to the air in
side the home.
In many cases, the installa-
ton of double windows, the
insulation of walls where
there is none and the use of
vapor barriers may be neces-
sary. There is no one solution
to all high humidity problems.
In a basement, for in
stance, good results usually
can be obtained with the use
of a dehumidifier, either the
self-contained units or the
simple arrangements utilizing
calcium chloride.
New homes often have an
excessive humidity condition
for five or six months and
then never have it again.
