kennedy's Domestic Fight
Tied To 1862 Elections
Action In Washington
Ike Aids COP Effort

Washington, d. c. - President
John Kennedy is now engaged
in his most crucial domestic
fight, and it stems from his ac-
tion in heading off a steel price
increase. That governmental ac-
tion has become the controversy
of the year and it has produced
the test concerning the country's
economic expansion which is
now being watched.
The Kennedy Administration
is very keenly aware of what it
is up against and there is a de-
termination to speed up the
country's economic growth. Those
who assume that a major effort
will not be made in this direc-
ton are in for many surprises.
One of the Presidents main
contentious in his 1860 presiden-
tial campaign was that the coun-
try was not expanding econom-
ically fast enough. 1t is true that
the President felt the country
could not afford the added in
flation which a raise in the price
of steel would have caused.
But the main feeling of be-
trayal at the White House, in
the steel fight, was the belief
that after labor had accepted
benefits which could be covered
by productivity increases, the in
dustry had no moral right to act
contrary to the general under
standing among most of those
who conducted the contract ne
gotiations.
As for the present situation,
wherein many investors fear a
profits and cost squeeze, and an
end to initiation, it could have an

Peace and Benny Goodman

1t is welcome news that the United
States and the Soviet Union, after weeks
OF tedious negotiation, have at last
signed an expanded agreement on a
wide range of exchanges designed to
promote. mutual understanding and
better relations between our two coun-
tries.
AS worked out by the principal
negotiators (Charles E. Bohlen of the
State Department and S. F. Romanov-
sky of the Soviet Ministry of Culture),
the new accord, which is to remain in
force for two years, is broader than the
one that was allowed to lapse last De-
cember Among other things, as COM
pared to the 1861 figure, it is expected
10 result in perhaps as much as Is per
cent increase in the number of re-
clprocal visits by Russians and Ameri-
cans in educational, technical scientific,
cultural and other fields.
Thus during the current year the
New York City Ballet, the Robert Shaw
Chorale and Benny Goodmans Jazz or
chestra will tour the USSR. In the same
period the BolShoi Theater Ballet, the
Leningrad Philharmonic Symphony Or
cheStra and the Ukrainian Dance En-
semble will perform in our country.
Numerous other types of exchanges will
include radio programs, television shows,
MOVIES with one to be jointly produced),
special courses for students, projects for
scientists, and even visits by such Amer
lean groups as clothing manufacturers
1.-THE Russians seem particularly inter-
ested in the know-how of New York's
garment diStrict).
These undertakings, of course, are
not OF themselves going to bring about
a new era OF sweetness and light in
Sov1et-American relations. Certainly
Benny Goodman's music is not likely to
charm the men of the Kremlin into some
sudden policy reversal that will end the
Berlin crisis. Nor is it probable that the
BolSho1 or Ukrainian dancers will so en-
chant our Government that it will forth
with become completely truStful of Mos
COW and ready to swallow Nikita
khrushchev'S prescription for a good
peace.
Nevertheless, despite its many limi-
tatlons, the exchange program has the
virtue OF encouraging friendship and CO.
operation between the Russians and our
selves. To that extent, even If only in a
small way, it can play useful role in
easing the tensions of the cold war and
serving the cause of peace.

or added to prices? Some industries
might, just might, have profit margin
high enough to swallow the extra cost
and still show enough earnings to satisfy
their stakeholder owners. Others, I'M
willing or unable to add to their prices,
could fold up Shop-which would not, in
the first instance at least, improve the
employment statistics.
Others, Of course, could raise their
prices. AS it happens, however, one of
our economic goals (and needs) of the
moment is to keep American goods COM
petlt1ve, both at home and abroad, in
relation to increasingly competitive for
eign production. Raising our prices is
one sure way not to accomplish this.
Losing markets abroad means less de-
mand for export production, another
factor bearing upon employment at
home. And protecting markets at home
by raising tariffs or other barriers to
imports is an old-fashioned protection
ism that is contrary to national policy
and contrary to good sense 1t is in fact,
negativism that downgradeS the skills

Shorter work-weeks and higher pay
have evolved in American industry
largely through the efficient productive
application of these same skills and re-
sources The end is not in sight, but it
would be under the splendid isolation of
the half-work, full-pay formula.

Political Ammunition

Governor Tawes fell short of &C
comprising the ambitious program he
had set for the abbreviated session of
the Maryland Legislature. Perhaps his
SharpeSt setback was the failure of
administration forces, by a scant two
votes in the House of Delegates, to
obtain approval of an emergency"
public accommodations bill even the
severely Watered-down measure which
would have applied to only eight of
the States % counties.
From the standpoint of Maryland
SuburbaniteS in the Washington area,
there was disappointment once again
in the failure of the Legislature to re-
apportion itself in order to give the
more-populouS areas of the State the
greater degree of representation they
deserve. But this from the beginning
was an uphill fight for which few OBJ
servers saw a real chance of success,
and the fact that a commendable re-
apportionment bill passed the House
for the first time was an extremely
encouraging development which should
give new impetus to future efforts.
The Legislature, moreover, did ap-
prove bills to provide a voluntary in
Surance plan for savings and loan as
SociationS, to regulate for the first time
the home-improvement industry, to
bolster the "blue sky' law which regu-
lateS the sale of stocks and bonds, to
tighten the procedures for public refer
endumS, and to provide State finances,
along the lines essentially proposed by
Mr.. TaWeS, to run the State for the
coming year. These all are positive &C
compliShments which should not be lost
sight of in the disappointment over
those which went down the drain.
The failures, of course, will be seized
upon by the opponents of the Governor
as political ammunition during the
hectic period ahead which will culmi-
nate in the Democratic primary on May
Is. But it seems to us that on balance
the results of the seSSion-although
perhaps not to the degree which he had
hoped-have raised rather than lowered
the political stock of Mr.. Tawes.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
On Revising D. c. Law on Capital Punishment

The House passed Aber-
nethy Bill, which abolishes
the mandatory aspect of cap
ital punishment for first de-
gree murder in the District
Of Columbia, is presently be-
ing considered on the Senate
side, having been introduced
by Senators Bible, Hartke,
Heating and others.
The opposition is being led
by Senator Wayne Morse,
who has proposed that CAPT.
tai punishment be abolished,
but that persons convicted of
first degree murder in the
District of Columbia be SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment
without the hope of parole.
The Department of Justice,
the D. c. Commissioners, the
D. C. Bar Association, the Ju-
dicial Conference of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the
Law Enforcement Council for
the District Of Columbia, of
which I am the chairman,
support the Abernethy Bill,
We feel that legislation of
this character, which is in
line with Federal legislation
on this subject, as well as
laws in approximately 43 of
the States. is the best answer
at the present time to this

Death Penalty

There does not seem to be any
significant dissent from the view that
the Districts mandatory death penalty
law should be modified. There is, how
ever, dispute as to method, and the
danger is that this will result in dead
lock in which nothing will be done.
Senator Morse has proposed that
mandatory life sentence without pos
Sibility of parole be substituted for ex-
ecution as the maximum penalty in
what are now capital offenses. This
has seemed to us to be proposal merit
ing serious consideration, and we are
not greatly impressed by the arguments
advanced against it in letter appear
ing elsewhere on this page. The essence
OF these arguments is that life sentences
without opportunity for parole would
create serious disciplinary problems in
prisons Maybe So But the other side
OF this coin is that parole too often
has served to bring about the release
OF criminals who should have been kept
in jail-and this to the detriment of
the public interest.
The real objection to the Morse
plan is that Congress, and especially
the House, may not agree to outright
abolition of the death penalty in the
District. Congress will accept modifi-
cation, however, as evidenced by House
passage Of the Abernethy bill and the
. strong support it enjoys in the Senate
This bill would do away with the
mandatory aspect of the death sentence
in first-degree murder cases, leaving
it to juries to decide whether or not
: it should be imposed. In practice, this
probably would not be as tough"
as the Morse proposal. But it would
help meet the serious law-enforcement
problem which arises from the fact that
juries are increasingly reluctant to re-
turn verdictS which they know must
bring death sentences. We hope that
Senator Morse, if unable to muster the
needed support for his own plan, will
not insist upon preventing a Senate
vote on the Abernethy bill.

Dangerous Theory

There is misleading simplicity
about the theory of some labor leaders,
including AFL-CIO President George
Meany, that the easy and uncomplicated
way to cure unemployment is to cut the
ork-week-without cutting pay.
AS usually presented, the theory
stops there-presumably with everybody
happily at work 1t does not, for ex-
ample, concern itself with the related
question of production costs, in which
the wage bill is ? variable but always
important element. BY any kind of
arithmetic, half work for full pay means
doubling the wage bill. Where does the
cost go? Is it to be absorbed by industry

Hospital Expansion

The Washington community owes a
debt of gratitude to Chairman Mcmillan
and to the House District Committee for
favorably reporting the bill to provide
$2.5-million grant to pay half the cost
of $5-million expansion and improve
ment Of the George Washington Uni
verSity Hospital.
This project, beyond the addition of
100 beds, would correct numerous de-
ficiencieS in facilities for treatment and
care deficiencies which reflect In the
first place, the World War II conditions
under which the hospital was built, and
which have been accentuated by stead
lily increasing patient load. The legiSla-
ton to provide Federal assistance was
drafted by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare only after Sec
rotary Ribicoff was satisfied of the
urgency of the need, and was convinced
that the statutes under which the Fed
eral Government has given aid to seven
other Washington hospitals during the
last decade were inadequate in this in
stance. Final plans for the new con-
Struction must be approved by the
Surgeon General of the U. S. Public
Health Service. The Federal funds,
furthermore, must be matched by $25
million which is being raised privately
by the university.
The bill, which was introduced by
House Speaker Mccormack, is expected
to reach the House floor for considera-
ton tomorrow. We hope it is approved
so that the George Washington Hospital
will be able to keep pace with the in
creasing demands which have been i'm
posed by the growth and development
of the Nations Capital and it's environs.
