What ails America? Why
have 500 billion in values
in the stock market been
wiped out? What can be
done now to produce a truly
healthy and prosperous econ-
omy?
This isn't a time for wish
ful optimism or moody pessi-
mism. 1t is a time to take a
realistic look at what's caus-
ing the whole economic sys-
tenn to Sunderland to find
the remedy.
Basically. the Am erican
system-which Nikita Khru-
shchev is happy today to see
in a troubled condition-is
either going to be permitted
to develop a sense of re-
sponsibility on its own, or
the people will clamor for a
Socialistic state to rescue
them from economic chaos.
The principal trouble to-
day with the economic sys-
tenn that has in the past
given this country its pros
perity and high standard of
living is excessive govern
mental intervention-an in
reference with natural laws.
Some of this meddling is mo-
tivated by politics. Some of
it is inspired by honest but
misguided thinking. Some of
it is the simple consequence
of inexperience-an unfamil-
iarity of administration ad-
visers with what makes a
system of peoples capitalism
function.
Today the use of the word
profit" is regarded in the
precincts of liberalism" as
sinful. The theorists con-
denim as selfish and reac-
tionary those persons who
actually believe that money
borrowed must be paid back
and who recognize that funds
to do this must come out Of
annual profits.
Even so prominent and
powerful a person as George
Meany, head Of the ALL
CIO, challenged last week
the management representa-
tives at the White House
. Conference on National Eco
nomic Issues to tell him how
profits could create Jobs.
This is elementary econom-
les, but many people besides
Mr.. Meany don't know it.

Possibility Portugal Won't Renew Pact
Is Seen, as O Result of u. S. Attitude

Mozambique never existed
before recent outside inter-
ference from Communist pro-
vocateurs who call themselves
"nationaliStS." The tribesmen
have always had the choice
of either remaining with
their tribes or becoming full
fledged citizens with all a
citizens responsibility, such
as paying taxes and serving
in the armed forces. But once
a citizen. a native enjoys
every right without diScrimi-
nation whatsoever.
The Portuguese Prime
Minister understands well
that for reasons of domestic
politics, as well as certain
dogmatic thinking by some
of President Kennedy's ad-
visers, the United States will
insist in the United Nations
that Angola become a COM
pletely sovereign country at
the earliest possible date.
This point of view by Ameri-
can officials is their privilege,
he said.
Portugal does not want to
throw Angola into the arms
OF the Communists and pro-
Communist agitators and
permit its peaceful people to
suffer such tragic chaos as
came to the Congo after its
independence. However, the
alists" already
aroused have a racial war in
which the slogan, Kill the
whites" has now become a
battle cry throughout Africa.
And the American Govern
ment knows that there are
powerful organizations in the
United States, such as THE
American Committee on Al
rica." which are providing
the leaders of Angola for
the Angolese" with money to
purchase arms as well as
sending instructors in guer-
rilla warfare. These and
many other facts are known
to Washington, not alone
from the Portuguese, but
also from many other sources,
including American intelli-
gence.

Forty years ago econo-
mistS were seriously disturbed
by the problem posed by the
multiplying telephone SWITCH
boards in the Nation. In
stallations of Mr.. Bells in
strument were proceeding at
such a rate it was possible
to project that within about
20 years, every woman in
America above the age of 18
would be needed to fill the
jobs of operating the SWITCH
board calls. The humorists,
of course, said this was a
fine idea because the women
would not then be able to
talk on the phone. Psycholo-
gists joined in the fun by
predicting an incre ase Of
crackups of women deprived
Of long, gossipy telephone
conversations.
But the problem, nonethe-
less, was a reality. Research,
of course, solved it. The calls
were made automatically.
Employment rose with the
expanded use of the service.
This was automation. 1t is,
perhaps, the most dramatic
illustration of the best as
poets of chronological change.
There are many happy chap
ters in automation in our
time.
European industry, for ex-
ample, has made use of new
technology to become sue
cessful competitors Of the
nations which once manu-
factured and sold most Of
the worlds goods-the United
States, Great Britain and
Germany. The European
problem is not unemploy-
ment but a shortage of la
Dor. The explanation is that
these countries are moving
their products. Their rate of
gross national production is
high. This also is true of the
Soviet Union.
This competitive fact

with President Kennedy, the
feeling is that to win votes
nowadays you have to accuse
a group of businessmen of
being contemptuous of the
public interest when they at
tempt to set e price in the
field of supply and demand.
Mr.. Kennedy's interven-
ton in the steel controversy
was tragic, but he apparent
ly believed that, by invoking
what he called the national
interest" he could upset the
whole system of price-mak-
ing in a competitive world.
If the steel corporation did
set a price too high, COM
petitors didn't have to fol-
low it. The President had a
right to speak his mind on
the broad economic questions
involved, but he had no
right to threaten to use ex-
ecutive power as a means Of
coercion even in the so-called
national interest" 1t was
this that brought a wave of
fear and disrupted planning
in business.
The administration can
and should by sound meas
ures stimulate the operations
Of the profit system. Un-
happily, the Government, by
m cans of inequitable tax
laws, has been frustrating
progress in the creation of
jobs. Gimmicks like the So
called investment credit"
were recently tossed like a
crumb to the depressed busi-
nesSes in the heavy-goodS
field. Then came belatedly a
concession that all 'tax-de-
probation allowances should
be re-examined acroSS-the-
board. This has long been
overdue. but it is a step in
the right direction.
The revision of tax rates
is Sorely needed. There is no
incentive to the enterprising
businessman as he realizes
that So per cent Of his COM
pany's earnings and up to
80 or 80 per cent of his own
income have to be paid out
in taxes. The development of
an incentive psychology has
long been needed. One sure
way to create jobs is through
increasing the profits so
that old factories can be
modernized and industrial
plants expanded to take care

Eichmonn Plans Appeal
To u. N. and Germany

JERUSALEM, May 81 CAP)
Adolf Eichmann is seeking
United Nations and West Ger
man help to save him from an
Israeli gallows.
Sources said Eichmann
pleaded with his defense coun-
sci. DR.. Robert Servatius, to
petition the United Nations and
Bonn to intervene on his be-
half. DR.. Servatius said he
would, but cautioned the former
Gestapo colonel that he might
be executed before either body
could act.
Eichmann repeatedly replied
that he would rather be exc
cuted than spend the rest of
his life in prison. Nevertheless,
he agreed to write an appeal
for clemency to Israeli Presi-
dent Izhak Ben-Zvi.
The appeal was the last
course open to Eichmann in
Israeli following the supreme
courts affirmation Tuesday of
the death sentence imposed on
Eichmann last December for
his part in the Nazi slaughter
Of s million European Jews.
DR.. Servatius submitted Eich-
mann's four page personal
appeal and one Of his own to
Mr.. Ben-ZW yesterday request
ing. as a government announce
ment said, that the death
sentence not be carried out"
Eichmann's wife, Vera, and his
brother, Robert, also cabled
appeals to the President from
Europe last night.
Mr.. Ben-Ziv's decision may
come next week. Denial of the
petitions could. mean a June
hanging at Ramleh prison, near
Tel Aviv, where Eichmann is
held in solitary confinement.
Eichmann's spiritual adviser,
the Rev. William Hull, said he
expects to call on Eichmann in
his PRISON cell every day ito

him in an effort to make him

able and embarrassing the
situation in the United
States. We have more than
six million persons unem-
ployed or in part-time work.
Our rate of growth has
slowed down across the last
several years. A high per-
centage of our productive ca
pacities is idle.
This is. to use an inelegant
phrase, the real gut" issue
in our country today. Its
ramifications are many and
varied. Some are not readily
seen. One of these, for ex-
ample, is the tremendous
harm done to our system and
way of life by the inability
to get jobs, as well as by the
loss Of them. If the dynamic
qualities of the American
economy should further de-
teriorate, the incentive for
young people to enter and
support it would be lost. Edu-
cation is affected. There are
several million of the un-
employed persons today who
are unable, because of. lack
of training, to fill jobs which
become available.
We must face the fact that
for many of these unfortu-
nate persons the future will
be one of living on a Federal
and State dole. Several thou
sand of the young men and
women who, this summer,
will enter the working force
will be unequipped to hold a
job. Our educational process
es must be expanded to cor
rect this predicament.
People out of work not
only cannot buy the goods
and services which the econ
omy produces: they are a
further stress in that the
public income must be spent
to relieve, in some measure,
their distress.
Another aspect Of our cur
rent economic situation is
that the showdown has con-

Automotion and Employment

tributed to the dangerous
flight of gold from our coun-
try.
Attenuation, it is estimat-
ed, will displace about 200, 900
persons per year. New jobs
will be created, but many of
those who are removed will
require training to take and
hold one of the technically
demanding work situations
This will be costly. Experts
further estimate that by 1875
we will be a nation of 230
million persons. To provide
this population with goods
and services, the gross ma
tional production must in
crease by about so per cent
of what it is today. To ac-
complish this, we must now
provide the economy with
increase d and continuing
momentum.
These are some Of the rea-
sons why this problem now
most concerns government,
labor and management. The
general public slowly is be-
coming aware of it. Those
who are out of work feel it
most bitterly. The President,
in a really brilliant address
to the recent White House
Conference on National Eco
nomic Issues, asked leaders
of management and labor to
abandon fixed organizational
positions, at least for the
duration of their delibera-
tions. This they could not,
or would not, do. But the
more sensitive of them went
away with the realization
that. in time. events will
force them to do just that,
and some, at least, wondered
If they had time to delay.
Today's problems are more
sophisticated because they
are so Overwhelmingly tech
nical. They cannot be met
with the old methods. The
familiar cliches sound more
and more hollow and the old
labels have lost much validi-
ty. Certainly the Government
must be alert to protect the
national interests.

LISBON. - The prospect
that Portugal will renew her
ement providing the
United States with air bases
in the Azores is slim. to put
it mildly, if this reporter
has correctly interpreted the
words of Prime Minister An
tonic de Oliveira Salazar
with whom he talked for
nearly two hours.
The statesman, who is
more frequently described as
a dictator" in the United
States than in other free
world countries. pointed out
to me that he is not so con-
cerned with slurs and attacks
on him by the free worlds
leading power" But, he
added, how can one country,
irrespective of its power,
expect advantages from an
other when its actions in the
last 18 months have been
either outright hostile or
mute in time of need.
The Portuguese Prime
Minister has a long bill of
particulars" to support his
complaints in the court of
world opinion when he points
out why Portugal sees no
reason to renew the Azores
agreements.
True enough. Portugal is a
member of the NATO, and
as such has pledged itself to
support the actions of all its
members in the event of a
conflict. But the NATO pact
was based on the premise of
all for one and one for ALL"
Portugal has faithfully
played the role assigned to
her at NATO military and
political meetings. Her most
important assignment was to
provide American air forces
with essential bases in the
Azores. This was not a new
alignment with the United
States, because we were per-
mitted to use the Azores
airbases throughout World
War II.
When Portugal Joined the
NATO she did not ask for
any active quid pro quo in
the defense of her overseas
territories which, she insists,
are not colonies. The enclaves
in India and Angola and
Mozambique in Africa have
belonged to Portugal for 400
years and have been part and
parcel of Portugal.
Contrary to accusations,

Minister and the rank and
file of citizens including his
opponents. all know that We
did not act as a partner when
we refused even to lift a
finger against India's agrees
sion. Our mild objections and
Am b a Ssa dor Stevenson's
emotional outburst at the
United Nations are regarded
here as play-acting for the
gallery Just to keep the rec
ord straight that we are
against aggression.
But. say the Portuguese,
this opposition is in varying
degrees. We apply meaning
less emotional speeches and
high-minded statements to
Prime Minister Nehru and
quite another to. say, Noise
TShombe, who is reluctant to
merge his Katanga province
with the rest of the confused
and poverty stricken Congo.
There has been severe crit
iciSm of Portugal in the
United States as there has
been of other American allies
since the end of the war.
This is understandable, Mr..
Salazar says, in a large
country where there are so
many varied ideologies and
where everybody can speak
his mind. But there is a great
difference between such types
of criticism and the actions
of the United States Govern
ment, itself.
Mr.. Salazar and the Por-
tuguese do not expect the
United States to eSpouse
their cause. But they have a
right, they say. to expect the
United States to adopt a neu-
trail, rather than outright
hostile attitude, if it wishes
to maintain the NATO intact
and continue its opposition
to the Soviet divisive tactics.
However, they see nothing of
the sort in the offering.
Under these circumstances,
Mr.. Salazar and other Portu-
guese ask, how can America
expect an extension of the
Azores agreement? For Amer
ica's recent policies. insofar
as the Portuguese are con-
cerned, are not much diff

diction to try him for crimes
committed in another country

Copters Key Weapons
In Wet Nam; More Due

Meanwhile, however, the
South Wet Namese are sched-
uled to add another division to
their fighting force this month,
and q ninth division Is sched-
uled to be operational next
March.
It will be difficult to add
further to the helicopter force,
however. Army sources say
they are now short almost 1900
chopper pilots, and they are
particularly short on pilots for
the H-21 flying banana" hell
copter used in Wet Nam.
The old flying banana was
scheduled to be phased out as
more modern choppers came in.
The number Of pilots being
checked out in it was being re-
duced.
But the demand in Wet Nam
has caused the Army to refrain
hastily pilots of other helicop-
ters and fixed-wing aircraft.
Must Hold Some Pilots
More than half the qualified
flying banana pilots are now
in South Wet Nam, serving 12-
month tours. The new COM
lpanies, plus the mass ending
Of the tours Of the men now
there, will make it necessary
for some Of the experienced
pilots to be held over.
It takes only a few weeks to
check out a pilot in the flying
banana. AS one officer put it,
"The pilots learn quickly after
they get over their initial
fright"
The plane Is harder to con-
troll and, in the opinion of
pilots, less safe than the newer
choppers. But the flying bana-
ma was chosen for South Wet
Nam because it Is the stand
ard helicopter In the Pacific
theater and can be maintained
without further complicating
the already difficult supply
problems.
Newer choppers are concen-
trated In Europe.
The Marine Corps flies the
newer H-34 helicopter, but II
is also short on pilots and
planes needed to meet its
worldwide commitments.

American helicopters have
proved so effective in Wet Nam
that the Pentagon has decided
to almost double the number
there.
Today there are four chopper
units in South Wet Nam
three Army and one Marine
Corps. Altogether they fly
about 80 planes.
Three more units, with about
IS planes, will be sent there.
This is about the maximum
number of helicopter units that
could be sent to South Wet
