Frank Conservative

Ralph McGill reaches a
new level of hysteria in the
column of June IA in which
he maintains that conServa-
tives desire to promote a nu-
clear conflict with Red
China.
Columnist McGill five
times uses the word, dis
honest" to characterize those
who would dare to pose a
few common-sense questions
about our China policy. Why
is it dishonest to ask if our
Nation will consider support
ing a strong and eager ally
in some appropriately timed
venture against the China
mainland? How does McGill
propose to counter this enc
my'S sworn objective of de-
stroying the capitalistic So
cieties? Surely the time for
positive action is when that
enemy is without nuclear
strength, Keeling from inter-
nal problems, and in con-
flict with its leading ally.
Liberals Of McGill's ilk
would rather maintain that
no pragmatic solution exists
to any problem involving the
Communists. He would, in
stead, drift along for a few
years until Red China has
the bomb and the means to
deliver it, until its internal
problems have been resolved,
and until it is again on good
terms with Russia. At that
time, not only will all of
Southeast Asia be in danger
from the Chinese menace, but
so will all the world.
OF all McGill'S extreme and
unsupported state e n t S
about conservatives, the most
ia ntastic reads: This is
what the right wing wants
to begin shooting off nuclear
hardware. There are no other
alternatives" Why must lib
erals who demand debate in
modern terms on such sub
jects as economics, fatty in
siSt there is no alternative to
the foreign policy Of grudg-
ing retreat? Most assuredly
alternatives exist and if there
were a fraction of the in
tellectual honesty among lib
erals that exists among con-
servatives, some of these al
ternatives might be discov-
cred. Jerry Davis.

Quiz for Congress

Since Congress so glibly in
veStigates everything under
the sun except the Creation,
and acts as judge, jury, pros
ecutor and executioner, why
should it escape a little in
vestigation?
Cd What suddenly initiates
q man elected to Congress,
not through any particular
ability, but because he's a
solid party vote-getterP Us
ually from a small district
he's ushered into his plush
Washington office with more
fringe benefits than dreamed
Of. Here he has paid assist
ants, free postage. travel al
lowances. a liberal pension
plan, etc. No wonder he be-
gins to feel that the country
is his own private hunting
ground and asks himself
What else have I got COM
ing to me?"
CD Why can Congress vote
itself substantial pay raises
at will, in record time and
with only a weak show of
debate yet stall around for
months in granting raises to
the little rank and file Gov
eminent employees? Why kick
the little fellows around
from one committee and con-
ference to another and fin
ally grant them a grudging
increase timed to produce
the best political effect?
Cd Why should Congress
men be allowed to make
junket trips to foreign coun-
tries under the flimsy excuse
OF being on committee as
s1gnments? We have our am
baSsadors, the CHA, State De-
partment, Commerce Depart
ment and the military to look
after these matters. Why are
family members included on
the trips, and more question:
able-why shouldn't members
make a public accounting of
every cent taken from coun-
terpart and other funds? II
Congress now insists on labor
unions, etc., making public
accounting, why should it OBJ
ject to doing the same?
90 Why, with so much
legislation needed, should
Congress work only seven or
eight months a year-take
long weekend trips back
home-and be absent almost
at will? Would a member
grant these same privileges
TO his own employees? MANY
members are paid much more
IMAM they earned in private
life and are entitled to no
more privileges than the
humblest worker.
I'd Why shouldn't every
member Of Congress come
out into the open and vote
Yes" or mo" on every i'm
portant question? They are
paid to show where thew
stand and not to evade a
roll-call vote.

Good Start

1t is evident already that the Com
mlSSionerS will seek to restore number
OF the cuts which the House Appropria-
lions Committee made yesterday in rec
ommending a $9-million reduction in
District budget requests for the year
starting July l. For some of them were
unduly harsh. Operating funds for
public schools, already reduced by the
commissioners, were sliced further by
nearly 81 million. Inadequate provi-
sionS were made for the pending ex-
pansion Of the Juvenile Court. And
there were others.
Nevertheless there are more reasons
for satisfaction than dismay. The $500
million spending figure proposed by
the committee is a record high. With
rev exceptions notably in the
highway program-the essential list
of public works improvements sought
by the Commissioners was left intact,
totalling $9.2 million above the current
years capital outlay expenditures. More
over, for the first time during the last
few years, the committee has managed
to provide General Fund surplus of
$4.5 million, to provide at least a slim
safeguard against new fiscal liabilities
which may be incurred by pending legiS-
lation. 1t is disappointing that once
again the District has been short
changed on an adequate Federal pay
ment, an inequity which the Senate
should correct. On the whole, how
ever, Chairman hatcher and his COM
mittee have done judicious and ex-
ceptionally thorough job. 1t is good
start.

ton of Chairman Harry F.
Byrd-who believes not at all
in the administrations deficit
spending theories. However,
the measure will be taken up
for hearings on Tuesday,
provided it is not necessary
to sidetrack it temporarily
for pressing tax measures now
before that committee.
The administration main
tains that the increased debt
limit is required to allow the
Government to meet expend-
itures previously authorized
and appropriated by Con-
gress. What Senator Byrd
fears, along with other MEM
berS of Congress, is that
the debt extension will make
it impossible to halt further

Both of these provisions

by the administration as
greatly important to its

But, he continued, there is

Government. The House last .
week voted to increase the
debt ceiling to permit the
Treasury Department to bor-
row the money to cover ex-
cessive amounts spent in the

this increase because it ap-
pears that non-essential Fed

A Second Look

II Z TtCetlIly COnCluQeQ
peace in Laos was received
with a varying degree of
optimism on both sides of
the Iron Curtain. 1t was
termed pivotal" "encourag-
ing" and hopeful" A sense
OF relief permeated the con-
tending camps-as any peace
should generate this feeling of
elation.
The full weight of diplo-
matte parlance has had time
to sink in. The realization now
is hopeful and encouraging,
yeS-but hopeful of what,
encouraging to whom? After
the peace in Laos, why did
Khrushchev suggest success
In solving other international
problems can be achieved
on the same road as well?"
To some observers, this muted
jubilation sounded an ap-
propriate warning of a Mu-
mich aftermath. To others, the
time is now for the West to
disengage itself from South
east Asia while the aura Of
good feeling still lasts.
There were some sugges-
tons that the stability in
certain neutraliSt countries
may be an appropriate sub
ject for an intensive study.
The idea is worthy, as knowl-
edge adds more strength to
understanding. But when
some writer's turn this en-
pirical proposition into a
conclusion that neutralism
or less involvement by the
United States might be the
perfect solution for South
east Asia. it must be pointed
out that the consequences
would be far-reaching and
should be carefully evaluated
before it is too late.
History can teach us a few
lessons. The easy victory for
Hitler at Munich was a STEP
ping stone to further con-
quest. The concession there
only whetted Hitler's appetite
for bigger and better things.
After World War II, demon
allied and war-ravaged Eu-
rope was saved from COM
muniSm only through NATO
and the Marshall Plan. In
Korea, the Communists were
stopped by force.
We can therefore conclude
Weakness breeds arrogance
and aggression, while
strength and determination
are the best preventive meas
ures against INSCRIPTIONS en-
emies. In Southeast Asia the
defenses of the Free World
are among the weakest. The
solution, just as in the case
OF Europe after the war,
should be for a strong. mean
ingful SEATO and cor
responding Marshall Plan,
and not naturalization or less
involvement. President Ken
nedy did a right thing in
reinforcing Wet Nam and
Thailand. Let other Western
allies, whose prosperity and
strength are derived from

munificence, move forward to
share their equitable burden
OF common defense. Let us be

THE POLITICAL MILL
Juggling the National Economy
By GOULD LINCOLN

This is the day Of the
fast talk and the fast buck
meaning dollar. The Ken
nedy Administration contin-
ues to tell the country deficit
spending is really a blessing
at this point; that it really
does not matter whether the
national debt limit is at its
permanently legalized $285
billion total, or $500 billion
to which it has been tenn
porarily raised, or at S3Os bill
lion to which a HouSe-passed
bill raises it.
The President and his ad-
visers insist that big Govern
ment spending and/or tax
reduction is what the econ
omy Of the country really
needs. 1t is as simple as
that. By stimulating BUSH
ness through these means,
employment will increase, pur-
chasing power will increase,
production will pick up,
bringing with these results
increased Government reve-
nues which may be used for
further stimulation"-or
more remotely-to reduce
debt.
No one really knows, how
ever, whether or not infla-
ton, cheapening Of the dol
lar and higher prices, forced
by higher production costs,
will enSue. If these results
materialize they could bring
disaster. Apparently the Ad-
ministration is bling
that Uncle Sam can juggle
all these balls in the air in
definitely.
The Administration has
been worried because the ma
tional economy has not been
boosted this year at a faster
rate. President Kennedy has
promised an acroSs-the- board
tax reduction to be legislated
by the new Congress which
comes into being next jan
uary /.
In the meantime the Ad-
ministration is continuing to
demand its programs which
look to increasing Govern
ment spending. 1t Is evident
that its purpose Is to use
both tax reduction and big
spending Of Government
fundS-Some Of which will
have to be borrowed-to
stimulate production Of
goods.
Question Arises
A question arises here.
What is the value Of greater
production when there is al
ready a surplus of many
products? 1t is a business
mans question and perth
nent even though it may be
based on one or more of the
myths" Of the past which
Mr.. Kennedy and other Ad-
ministration leaders insist
must be laid aside or buried
in these days Of modern eco
nomical problems.
One measure on which the
Administration hopes to take
care Of greater production is
through its trade bill, aimed
to make it easier for the
President to negotiate with
the European Common Mar
ket to reduce trade barriers
and so increase our exports.
The opponents of that meas
ure are fearful it will also in
crease our imports to a de-
gree that will jeopardize
some important home in
dustries.
