POSTAL RATES BACKED

The Senate Post Office and
Civil Service Committee has ap-
proved a 1903, 900, 900 increase in
postal rates. Part of the increase
will be used in a raise for
1,600. 900 government workers.
The proposed higher rates
would go into effect January 7
when the present four cent post
age for letters would rise to five
cents. Airmail letters would rise
from seven to eight cents, air.
mail postcards from five to six
cents and postcards from three

other classifications would rise
over a three years period.

Mr.. Bayh also enjoys the
benefit of a well-organized,

an invasion of Cuba or at
least a naval blockade.

But his record Of tapping

responsibility in Government

social-welfare and public
works projects. All of these
doubtless can be defended
as worthwhile at some time
or other, but can the Nation
today afford unlimited
spending, irrespective Of con-
sequences? Can any political
party be called responsible
If it insists on cutting taxes
substantially when deficits
are growing bigger and big
ger? A private citizen or
business must forgo lux
uries or even worthwhile pro-
jects and see that the budget
is balanced lest bankruptcy
be induced. Apparently it is
reasoned that it's all right
for the Government to dis
regard budgets, run a big
deficit year after year, and
risk a loss of confidence in
the monetary unit.
The Nation has been ex-
periencing a business recess
sion that isn't over yet. Mr..
Kennedy expected the Gov
ernment's receipts to be
500 billion in the current fis-
cal year so that there would
be a half-billion-dollar sur
plus. But it turns cut now
that the receipts are to be
$85.5 billion.
But spending Is being in
creased just the same. AS
for authorizations-not &C
tual expenditures - Congress
has just pushed the annual
appropriations past the 500
billion mark for the first
time in peacetime history.
So it's a case of fiscal ir-
responsibility belief that
the Nation can have its cake
and eat it, too. It's a case al
so of political irresponsible
ity. For neither political
party presents a solid front
on the matter of national
economy. although the con-
sentative Democrats do have
more allies in the Republican
party than in their own.
Conservatism may, there
fore, be readily defined
nowadays. 1t means a policy
of conserving the Nations
fiscal soundness. 1t is oppos-
ed to liberal spending and
liberal authorizations Of pub
lie money for things the Ma
ton doubtless should even

The proper study of man

Never in American history
has there been revealed such
q clear case of responsibility
in Government as has just
been exhibited by the Con-
gress and the President.
The fiasco cannot be
blamed entirely on either po-
litical party nor altogether
on the President. It's the fault
primarily of a system which
provides no way by which the
people can hold the Execu-
tive and the legislature re-
sponsible in the midst Of a
presidential term. Yet there
is a congressional election a
few weeks away, and Presi-
dent Kennedy is urging the
people to vote Democratic in
stead Of Republican. The rea-
sons for this are not clear, for
his own party is split. In fact,
Congress itself is divided into
four blocs. In addition, the
delays and confusion of the
last weeks of the session Of
Congress that has Just adj
journed were to a large eX-
tent the result Of quarrels
and disputes among the
leaders of the Presidents own
party.
Representative Clarence
Cannon of Missouri, Demo-
crat, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee,
said, for instance, on the floor
of the House of Representa-
tives last Saturday:
II have sat under 10 Speak
ers-but I have never seen
such biased and inept lead
ership."
Mr.. Cannon also criticized
the Democratic Party's ma
jority leader, Representative
Carl Albert of Oklahoma,
charging that the latter Of

works bill if he would per-

Guiding New Alabama Governor

there are enough business
men, leaders Of the great
steel company, and others
who will hold Governor-to-
be Wallace's hand and as
sist him to divest himself
Of a pledge which almost
certainly would close the
University of Alabama, dis
accredit it, and subject it to
undue pressures and emo
tions which would cause
many faculty members to
leave, or seek to do so. He
cannot help himself politi-
cally by putting his own
ambitions, relatively unim-
portant besides the States
future, ahead Of the univer-
sity and the general well
fare.
The power structure" of
the State-the businessmen,
the clergy, the newspapers,
and the responsible men in
professional life can save
Governor-to-be Wallace-if
he wishes to be saved-by
coming forward now-before
the official election - and
not waiting until the crisis is
upon him. 1t will not be easy
in Alabama. The moderate
voices, as in Mississippi, have
had little outlet. But, hap
PLY, there is the spectacle
Of Gov. Barnett. Every day
that passes makes him and
his policy less attractive.
We do have a Nation. We
are citizens Of it. Even the
defiant ones surely must see
that there must be, in a
union, a willingness to accept
law and the orders of our
courts, however, distasteful
they may be to some. This is
especially so now that it daily
becomes more obvious that

longer good politics. We are

selves that, in the same cleo
ton, they will get a united
leadership Of the legislative
and the executive. Today,
President Kennedy is cam
paigning around the country
charging the Republican
Party Is at fault for failure
to enact all his proposals,
when in reality this funda-
mental schism in his own
party has brought constant
diSsension and division.
Mr.. Kennedy is saying on
the stump that the Repub-
lican Party has been and is
against progress" But his
opponents will reply that the
Republican Party Is really
opposed to progress toward
national bankruptcy"
The indicated deficit, for
example. for the fiscal year
that ends next June 80 Is
between Sc and So billion, al
though last January the
President in his budget mes
sage to Congress predicted a
surplus. All this is happening
even without any Substan-
tial tax cut. In fact, public
spending has reached such a
high rate that, making no al
lowance for a tax cut at the
January session, the budget
deficit for the fiscal year
starting July / next Is likely
to be Sill billion, according
to estimates made by statis-
tical experts who study the
trends of Government re-
ceipts and spending.
If, moreover, there should
be a tax cut next year Of
around 81 billion-which is
a modest amount compared
to the promises being made
the deficit might reach
$18 billion for the fiscal year
ending a little more than 20
months from now.
The House of Representa-
tives has wound up with the
usual hypocritical speeches.

parties praise each other.
The past session, of course,

plause only in the sense that

illustrates what Is wrong

The University Of Alabama,
like that Of Mississippi, is
essential to the present and
future Of the State. The chill

erations have had a bad deal.
The State spends less per
pupil than other Southern
States. 1t pays its teachers
less. The university does not
support it's own chapter Of
Phi Beta Kappa.
Half tie adults in the State
of Mississippi above the age
