InexcusobIe Strike

The announcement by the flight
engineers that they will strike TWA,
but not Eastern and Pan American, APP
pears to be device to avoid q head-on
collision with the President.
In a strong statement last week,
Mr.. Kennedy called upon the flight
engineers to meet their public respon-
Sibilities" by submitting their dispute to
arbitration. The President noted that
O strike against the three airlines would
cause the immediate layoff Of some co.
900 non-striking employees, immobiize
40 per cent of the Nations airline serv-
ice and bring loss Of over 81 million
d day from International flights, with
b corresponding bad effect on our bal
ance of payments.
The dispute concerns reduction in
the size Of cockpit crews on Jets from
four to three men. No one, as the Presi-
dent pointed out, has questioned either
the wisdom or necessity of the reduc-
ton. ALI presently employed flight
engineers were assured of prior Job
rights on the three-man crews, with no
prejudice to their representational
rights, and with the companies footing
the bill for the necessary training.
Nevertheless, apparently because they
; fear their union might be merged with
4 the Air Line Pilots Association, the
Eengineers have rejected all arbitration
recommendations, and now propose to
strike TWA.
This may reduce the economic i'm
pact to such an extent that the Presi-
dent viii refrain from taking further
action. If this strike actually is called,
however, it will be wholly unjustified
and fragrant abuse Of union power.
TWA will be the victim of what really
is a controversy between the engineers
and the pilots, and strike In such cir
eumStanceS ought not to be tolerated,

On Psychology

I was shocked to read of
the recent decision Of the
United States Court Of APP
peals to allow qualified psy-
biologists to determine the
sanity of American citizens.

It is a little frightening to

Mr.. MonsfieId's Park

| There is familiar saying that "you
can't beat City Hail." and generally
speaking that Is true. It ought to follow
with at least equal force that you can't
beat the Majority Leader Of the Senate
especially when you can't cast vote
No. /.
In this situation, the voteless resi-
dents OF Washington have had to stand
helplessly by while the Senate, without
debate, has given rubber-stamp ap-
prevail to one Of Senator Mansfield's pet
projects. This is bill to transfer to the
Interior Department 100-foot traf1c
right-of-way through the Glover-Arch-
bold Park-a right-of-way which the
District government has controlled for
more than half century.
The purpose of this is to block con-
struction of the proposed Glover-Arch-
bold Parkway. Senator Mansfield, who
lives close to the park, doesn't want a
parkway running anywhere near his
house. And, being Majority Leader, he
has taken the Senate along with him.
There is, however, another side to
this matter. In the first place, the road
would have been designed in such a
way that 1t would not have impaired the
natural beauty of the park. Thousands
OF motorists as well as Senator Mans
field, could have derived some pleasure
from GloyerArchbold Park. Secondly,
with the parkway barred, hundreds Of
residents in the area will find their resi-.
Dental streets clogged with traflc
which otherwise might have used the
parkway, If It could be built.
To borrow senatorial phrase, we
yield to no one in our respect and adj
miration. generally speaking, for Sem
ator Mansfield. In this instance,
however, we think he is putting his per-
sonal interests ahead, of the public in
terest. Washington needs and will con-
tinue to need a Glover Archbold Park
way. It will be built eventually, we
think, because in time the interests of
the many will outweigh the interests Of
the present Majority Leader Of the
Senate and those who happen to share
his present views,

Too Many Cooks :.

Although the Senate Subcommittee

that unless we free peoples

ToIkinq With Ponon1o


last week by President Kennedy and
President CHAR Of Panama, potentially
important negotiations will soon be be-
gun on number Of matters troubling
relations between the Panamanian
government and our own.
Thus, in the words of their COM
r1unique, Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. CHAR
have agreed upon the principle that
when two friendly nations are bound by
treaty provisions which are not fully
satisfactory to one of the parties, ar
rangements should be made to permit
both nations to discuss these points Of
dissatisfaction. Accordingly, the Presi-
dents have agreed to appoint high-level
representatives TO carry on such discus
sionS. These representatives will start
their work promptly"
This does not mean, of course, that
the basic terms Of our 1908 treaty with
Panama are likely to be revised substan-
lively in the near future. True, Presi-
dent CHAR has declared that the COM
ing discussions--which are expected to
be conducted on continuing basis over
a long period--will be broad enough to
touch upon such questions as giving
Panama sovereignty over the Canal
Zone and deleting from the 60-year-old
pact the clause that entities our country
to operate, control, and otherwise be
master Of the zone "in perpetuity." But
these are rights, itneed hardly be added,
that the United States will not give up
at any early date, II ever, even though
1t may eventually agree to share them
with the Panamanian government.
Nevertheless, the negotiations that
have now been set in motion by the
Kennedy CHAR meetings promise TO
lead to good results in terms Of solving
certain key problems that have played
into the hands Of rabid nationalistic,
anti-Yanqui and pro-Communist ex-
tremistS in Panar1a-elements respon-
sible for outrageous rioting against the
United States In late 1859. The prob

they once again stir up the kind OF riot

the United States would be foolhardy

The Power of Capital

At the Yale commence
ment, President Kennedy
made q statement that I
wish to take issue with. He
said %. The Government
intends to do its part in try
ing TO block recession and
generate prosperity" To this
politically independent work.
ing man this attempt to
generate prosperity" is
doomed 10 failure and is q
naked grab for power.
There was one paramount
factor which made this coun-
try great. That was the true
application OF the fundamen-
tai economic law that capt.
tai, and capital alone, gen.
crates more capital. An anal
ogy might be made to a nu-
clear breeder reactor. Prop
erly running, this device gen.
crates more fuel than IL con-
sumes. Moderate the fission
rate and the production Of
further fuel falls off. SINH
larry when the normal capt.
tal-generating laws are tam
pered with (by excessive tax
alton and restrictive Federal
interference, etc. the further
production of capital dimin-
ishes. II this "moderating"
effect is pursued-as the pres
ent administration seems
bent on doing-the final re-
suit Is the shutdown of the
capitalist system.
We have ample evidence,
in the full prosperity Of West
Germany. for example, that
the proper application Of
those fundamentals which
used to be practiced in this
country, still produces the
prosperity and growth which
the present administration Is
trying to force In this country.
The following Of advice and
the advocation Of prolifer-
ate waste of taxpayers
I1toney-which the West Ger
mans ienored-which has re.
peatedly proven itself abSo-
lutely unavoidable Is, to this
reader, the height Of folly.
Such q common -sensical
program can only be ex-
planned as an out-and-out
political maneuver to estab-
liSh q dynastic rule.
Latest Government figures
indicate that it takes approx
ifnately $4,000 capital ex-
penditure to create one Job.
Also stated Is an estimate
Of l million people coming
into the labor market each
year. The necessary capital
investment to produce jobs
for this influx alone is Sl8
billion each year. This does
not take into account any
replacement of obsolete ma
chinery or buildings, nor does
it provide for any reduction
in the present high unen-
ployment. It is impossible
for the Government to pro-
vide this money. Under the
present high taxation on in
dividuals and corporations,
and under the restrictive reg
ulations on business, there is
not sufficient investment
capital from these sources to
do the job either! The only
solution is to return to the
unfettered capitalism which
did make it possible for this
great country to expand and
expand for the benefit Of all.
This suggestion should not
be construed as an attempt
to negate the social gains
which have proven Of value
nor to rob labor Of It's hard
won and rightful gains. In
all the arguments and pro.
nouncements on the evils Of
capitalism, I have never seen
any attack on, or disproof Of,
its fundamental power. Cap
ital besets capital. There Ia
no other way.

John Trumbull (1750-1825)

Bowden, an associate profess

In short, the kind Of man

be the site Of a desperate

Here in Paris, meanwhile.
these dramatic announce

There was reason to believe
that despite the adamant

them to reach a successful

destruction by the GAS pre-
