Senate Spectacle

Senator Humphrey has warned that
unless the Senate is permitted to get on
with its work it will become "the laugh
ing stock of the country" More prob
ably, in our judgment, it will come to
be looked upon with contempt.
A dozen or more Self-appointed
liberal" Democrats have taken it upon
themselves to filibuSter against the
communications satellite bill. This is
their right under the Senate rules, and
we would not argue for any abridge-
ment Of that right. The fact remains,
however, that they are making spec
tacle Of themselves, not to mention the
Senate.
Their position Is an extraordinary
one. The satellite bill is supported by a
Democratic President. 1t has the ex-
press Endorsement of the Department of
State, the Department Of Justice and
the Federal Communications Commits
sion. An overwhelmingly Democratic
House has passed the measure by vote
Of 354 to 9. Yet the Senate liberals"
attempt to Justify their filibuster by
crying that the bill is a "giveaway"
What does this mean? 1t can mean
only one of two things. The Kennedy
administration and the Democratic
majority in Congress are seeking to be-
tray the public interest. Or they are
so incompetent that they do not under
stand what this bill would do. Either
way, 1t is remarkable position for any
nANnnRrot IN ha fol A,aI D.
publicans, gleefully contemplating the
campaign ammunition which this gives
them, must be thoroughly sold on the
belief that there is, after all, Santa
Claus.

Bio IFS in Laos

The withdrawal of all our Marines
from Thailand reflects hopeful view
of the 14-nation Geneva agreement
dependent" kingdom. At any rate, the
mere fact of the withdrawal strongly
suggests that the situation has changed
for the better since last May, when the
Bangkok government urgently called
for the help of our Marines call based
on juStifiable fears that the Laotian Red
guerrillaS might cross the border and
attack the That's
OF course, there still are more than
a few knowledgeable observers in Bang
kok and elsewhere who feel that Thai
land continues to be threatened and
that the pull-out of American military
forces is altogether premature and un-
wise. Nevertheless the pull-out has been
ordered in keeping with the new state
OF affairs in next-door Laos, which now
lives under a jerry-built coalition gov
eminent made up Of pro-Western, pro-
Communist and neutraliSt factions
headed by Premier Prince Souvanna
Phouma.
The Premier-Prince, who is cur
rently having important talks here with
President Kennedy and others, is fig
ure Of key influence. His task, as chief of
the "neutralist" faction in the new re-
gime, includes the heavy responsibility
OF seeing to it that the Reds in his gov
eminent do not subvert him and stage
a coup, as they have done in numerous
other coalitions. This is real and pres
ent danger; it explains why many Lao
tianS, as well as That's, are anything but
wildly enthusiastic about the Geneva
accord.
Having all this in mind, Mr.. Ken
nedy has made clear his own reserva-
tions-as expressed in luncheon toast
in these words to Souvanna Phouma:
e. If the accord at Geneva should
turn out to be merely paper, then, of
course, relations all over the world
would become more difficult, and the
belief in negotiation would be subjected
to serious attack" And further: eff
our common efforts and commitments
in Laos fail, then the future not only of
Laos, but Of good deal of the rest of
the world will become darker. I think
that explains the concern that all of us
have with what will now be carried for
ward"
Prince Souvanna Phouma has given
a response designed to be reasSuring.
AS he has put it, he feels confident that
all the SignatorieS Of the Geneva pact
are sincerely anxious to have Laos re-
main genuinely neutral and outside the
cold war-to be q sort of Austria in ex-
plosive Southeast Asia. Quite obviously,
the Ifs" involved here are very great,
and one can do little more than hope
for the best.

Holds No Brief for Courts Prayer Ruling

gents, or even to be present at
all on the occasion thereof.

Judge in New York in this
case we'll illustrated and de-

by the New York admins
trative authorities in this
matter of possible wrongful
pressure on school pupils or
others. This opinion by the
judge, who heard all the
evidence at first hand and
who could himself interTogate
the witnesses, states:
1T is enough on this score,
however, that regulations
such as were adopted by New
York City's Board Of Educa-
ton in connection with its
released time program be
adopted (elsewhere), making
clear that neither teachers
nor any other school au-
thority may comment on
participation or non-parti-
cipation in the exercise nor
suggest or require that any
posture or language be used
or dress be worn or be not
used or worn. Non-partici-
patton may take the form
either of remaining silent
during the exercise, or if the
parent or child so desires, of
being excused entirely from
it's exercise. Such regulations
must also make provision for
those non-participants who
are to be excused from the
prayer exercise. The exact
provision to be made Is a
matter for decision by the
board rather than the court,
within the framework of
constitutions al require
mentS. :"
All of this conscientious
and sensitive preparation and
intelligent study by the New
York administrative author
tiles and by the New York
Courts, Is held to be for
naught by the Supreme Court
majority which proceeds to-
ward its monolithic and ex-
aggerated conclusions in this
historic decision with proud
defiance of the actual key
facts.

Rapid Transit

The National Capital Transporta-
ton Agency doubtless has pretty well
determined the major proposals it will
make to Congress in November for a
balanced" area-wide rapid transit
highway program. Its decision at a
press "briefing" to describe its plan
only In generalitieS, however, and to
avoid controversial details until the re-
port as whole is available for analysis,
was probably wise one.
But even these generalities make it
apparent that there will be significant
and interesting changes in the system
proposed in 1859 by the Mass Transpor-
tation Study. The new plan will suggest,
for example, the liberal use of existing
railroad rights Of way for commuter
transit purposes, a use largely dismissed
by the earlier report. It will emphasize
an extensive downtown subway system,
possibly capable of delivering 80 per
cent Of the downtown Washington en-
ployes to points within five-minute
walk Of their offices. 1t will suggest,
wisely, in our opinion, that early con-
struction Of the rail facilities be con-
nancing to great degree will depend
upon Federal aid, rather than in the
suburbs, where the burden of cost on
local Jurisdictions will be more difficult
to work out. 1t is especially interesting
in this regard that the agency has con-
cluded, contrary to a widely held i'm
preston, that "a considerable part" of
the construction costs of the system can
be financed from user fares.
The desire of the Meta to delay
highway construction in Washington
has left little doubt in anyoneS mind
that its plan will propose the elimination
OF some major freeway projects now on
the books. But any such proposals must
be judged on their merits in November.
According to the agency director,
c. Darwin Stolzenbach, the final deci-
SionS will be discussed with the heads
of local jurisdictions before the report
is issued. We hope this is the case. For
while major goal Of the agency is to
design a system that will move people
in the most efficient manner at the
most economical cost, the ultimate test
of its feasibility will be the extent of
its community acceptance. It goes with
out saying that the conclusions of the
agency must also be those Of the White
HouSe-conclusions which the President
is fully prepared to support through re-
quests to Congress for the funds and
the authority to implement it.

Lines for the Space Aqe

The fastest issue of Courier, pub
lished monthly by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization, has some lines in it that
seem singularly to the point at a time
when SO many extraordinary things are
happening, and are scheduled to happen,
in outer space. The lines are those of
the late Rabindranath Tagore, the great
Indian poet, and they refer to what men
were and are-past and present and
always:
Travellers
Whose eternal journey is toward the
future.

Through the gaping century they

Into the UraknotDn, into the Unseen.

terms and by its historical
origin.
The Fourteenth Amend
ment Is actually founded on
the conception that the
States are thereby prohibited
only from actions that &C
tually damage or wrongfully
interfere directly with citi-
zens or other persons. The
purpose is simply to protect
specific legal rights against
concrete damage or actual
harmful interference.
The central meaning Of the
Fourteenth Amendment lies
in the following key passage:
mo State shall make or
enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or i'm
munities of citizens Of the
United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person OF
life, liberty or property with
out due process Of law; nor
deny to any person within its
Jurisdiction the equal protec-
ton of the laws"
The true prohibitions in
tended here are exposed in
the active verbs that are used
in the prohibiting clauses,
namely, "abridge," deprive"
deny"
There is nothing in the
Fourteenth men DIN e n t
equivalent in form or sub
stance to the First Amend
ment language Congress
shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion
:" The prohibitions Of the
Fourteenth Amendment are
not defined with reference to
the general subject matter
or general classification of
the laws themselves, that are
under examination, but they
are aimed against actual
abridgment Of the privileges
of citizens; against actual
deprivation of liberty such as
violates due process Of law,
and against the actual denial
of equal protection of the
laws.
Now in the. New York
school prayer case, what
harm or injury was done or
threatened to anyone? Who
was deprived of liberty or
property in any substantial
or realistic sense? Who was
really denied the equal pro-
lection of the laws? What
privileges or immunities that
belong to citizens of the
United States as such were
abridged? In answering these
questions It must be con-

D. c. Management

Exposures during the past
year of incompetency and in
efficiency in the manage
ment and general operations
Of the District government
have not resulted in any
sound corrective steps being
taken to improve the situa-
ton. The latest racket in
volving the theft from D. c.
General Hospital and sale to
local drugstores Of large
quantities of prescription
drugs is further proof Of the
irresponsible manner in
which various departments
have been allowed to operate.
The claim by hospital au-
thorities that they have been
aware for q year that they
had no adequate way to con-
troll drugs leaving the main
supply room of the hospital
is a typical example Of the
degree of laxity that exists
and why hospital and other
operating costs have> sky
rocketed.
In over 80 years expert
ence handling general man
agement and operations con-
troll work for private indus
try and government, I have
yet to run into a problem
that could not be solved
quickly and effectively. AS far

ly a simple operation to de-

tenn covering not only drugs,
but all the other costly items
required in the operation Of a
hospital.
1t is quite common where
public funds are involved or
where increased costs that
are unjustifiable can be
passed on to the public with
out too much complaint to
find a very high percentage
of incompetency, overstaffing
and very little operating eff
cheney. Sooner or later the
situation becomes so en-
snarled and costly that it is
exposed by the press. Public
confidence once shaken Is
very difficult to restore.
The District Commission
ers possess the power and re-
sponsibility to see that the
District government is eff

an economically sound oper-
ating basis. The appointment
of a really qualified general

expert could solve most of
the more difficult problems

same time save millions Of

pated under current condi-

Mediocre Politics

The tough stand taken by
some @. o. P. legislators in
connection with the PreSi-
dents defeated medical aid
bill is certain to hurt the
Republican Party at election.
1t is pretty well agreed that
q majority of our citizens
are sympathetic to the ad-
ministration'S medical aid
program. Statements at
tributed to influential Re-
publicans, such as Its a
cruel hoax on the American
people" will make little or
no impression on the voters
whose principal interest is
the health and welfare Of
the aged.

Confession in COPENHAGEN

With his usual good instinct for pro-
priety, General Eisenhower has avoid
ed any substantive discussion of Amer
lean politics during his current travel
in Europe. The former President, &C
companied by friends and members of
his family, is making sentimental
journey" with only one official engage
ment, namely, to address an interna-
tional congress of teachers in Stockholm
tomorrow. He has promised on that oc-
casion to deliver message that the
American people are dedicated to peace
and that this Is the objective of our
Government. He is not, however, travel
ing as representative or spokesman Of
any political party, and no purpose
would be served by press conference
exchanges that might easily be misun-
derStood in their transatlantic report
ing.
With all this, there was an engaging
frankneSs about the Generals answer
when asked in Copenhagen if he re-
GREETED any Of his decisions during two
terms as President. OF course, he said, it
would be "fatuouS" not to admit errors,
but "the worst mistake made was in
not working harder to elect the man I

smoke rose from incense
burners. Everyone, layman
or monk, was dressed in his
best clothes and welcomed
me with folded hands and a
happy smile on his face, as
I passed through the throngs.
1t had been decided to
hold the ceremony Of Sitrin-
gaSol soon after my arrival.
This was my enforcement
on the Lion Throne. The
date was the fourteenth day
Of the first month Of the
Iron Dragon Year, corre-
spending to the year of 1910.
It had been fixed by the Re-
gent. in consultation with the
National Assembly, according
to the advice Of the State
astrologers."
The traditional civilization
Of Tibet is rich and pro-
found and so totally nom
chronological that it is diff
ficult for US to imagine it.
His training, naturally
enough, is entirely in its own
terms.
YET HIS OCCASIONAL
encounters with the products
of chronological society fasci-
mated him and he seems to
remember the most trivial
details about them. He tells
us of his pleasure in dis
mantling a portable genera
tor. From that machine" he
writes, II discovered how in
ternal combustion en- gines
work, and also noticed how
the dynamo created a mag
netic field when it turned. .
II tried to make use Of
this knowledge on three old
motor cars, the only ones in

the other red and yellow,
and a large Dodge of 1881,

Perhaps the greatest lesson
for both east and west lies
in the Dalai Lama's attitude
towards China and his coun-
try's present misfortunes. He
was and is against violence.
And he is against hate.
I'm spite of the atrocious
crimes which Chinese hgVe
committed in our country, I
have absolutely no hatred in
my heart of the Chinese peo-
pie. .. We should not seek
revenge on those who have
committed crimes against us,
or reply TO their crimes with
other crimes. We should re-
fleet that by the law of Kar-
ma, they are in danger of
lowly and miserable lives to
come, and that our duty to
them, as to every being, Is
to help them to rise toward
Nirvana, rather than let them
sink to lower levels or re-
birth. Chinese communism
has lasted twelve years; but
our faith has lasted $500
years. :"
Matters of belief aside, the
West is temperamentally and
culturally unsuited to taking
literally the implied advice.
But we could do worse than
to think of it seriously from
time to time.

One troublesome aspect
Of the Supreme Court deci-
sion in the school prayer
case" (Engle v. Vitale) is the
complete disregard therein
manifested by the court Of
the historic doctrine that
parties who seek to obtain
judicial restraining orders
against the enforcement of
legislation, State or national,
must establish and demon
Strate that they have sus-
tanned or will sustain peculiar
and substantial harm or
injury from the actual en-
forcement Of such legislation.
This pervasive judicial
doctrine has been plainly
declared and Enthusiastically
acted upon by the Supreme
Court itself in many leading
decisions.
This vital and practical doc
trine applies with particular
force to constitutional issues
arising under the Fourteenth
Amendment. Some Supreme
Court justices are fond of
quoting the First Amendment
in cases arising under State
or local laws that have been
alleged to interfere with
freedom Of speech or with
religious freedom. But the
actual relevant language of
the First Amendment reads:
Congress shall make no
law respecting an establish
ment Of religion, or prohibit
ing the free exercise there
of. :"
1t is Congress which is
explicitly restrained by this
provision. 1t seems impossible
to read this provision as ap-
plying. of its own force to
State legislatures or to the
Board Of Regents Of New
York.
