Cancer of the Soul

Cardinal Wyszynski and the Roman
Catholic bishops of Poland have spoken
out oravely and unequivocally against
the atheistic policy of the Communist
regime in Warsaw. In pastoral letter
addressed to ali the faithful in all the
churches throughout the country. thew
nave lashed out against the Red-organ-
lied campaign of fighting with in
comprehensive hatred against the re-
ng1on OF the true God"
Further, aSsailing all Red dogma to
the contrary, the letter has had this to
say: Atheism is cancer of the soul.
ana atheists are poor, MORALLY sick peo-
ple. Needless to add, these are senti-
ments that must greatly offend, and
even worry, the unbelievers who are trv-
ing to rule Poland in fearfully uneasy
alliance with Moscow. For the regime
In Warsaw walks a tightrope. Wholly
apart from the Kremlin, it must reckon
with an overwhelmingly Catholic popu-
Iation that is in no mood to have
godleSsnesS forced upon it.

What's the Emergency?

One would think that some grave
emergency had arisen at the white
House to Justify the speedy approval
by Congress Of President Kennedy's re-
quest for nearly so per cent increase
IN the size Of the White House police
force. If there is need for this, of course,
the increase Of the force from ITO To
ESQ men is warranted.
Yet the reasons given for the rise
In strength do not suggest any real
crisis that could not be handled properly
by the present force, or at least a small
ADDITION. Congress was told the 80 new
policemen were required because of an
increase in the number of White House
visitors, expansion of the Executive Of
1lceS and growth of presidential func-
ions, including news conferences.
What really impressed us about this
DIT OF legislation, however, was the
alacr1ty with which Congress voted to
authorize the increase. It was in sharp
contrast to the elaboration and DELAYS
which Metropolitan Police Chief Murray
mas encountered from time to time in
trying to get enough patrolmen "a very
small increase percentagewise) to cope
WIN an emergency which everyone
agrees really exists in Washington-the
prevalence Of vicious crimes on and
off the streets.

Harvard Man at Yale

Win the pleaSantrieS and the BAN
terlng out OF the way, President Ken
neoy settled down to some serious oh
Servations in his talk at the YaIe
commencement exercises.
He was concerned, he said with
certain myths" which raise the pros-
Pect tnat Illusion may prevent effective
actlon In three great areas of our don,es-
TIC aIrairs. He defined these areas &C
the question Of the size and the shane
OF governments responsibility. the
question OF public fiscal policy and
1lnaIly, the matter Of confidence-"busi-
ness confidence, or public confidence

with perhaps one exception he
heWeo faithfully to this line. The ex-
ception, II 1t can properly be called
tnat, came when Mr.. Kennedy said he
would not shrink from "anerv arou-
ment" II 1t is forced upon him, and that
history does not suggest that American
PRESIDENTS are totally without resources
IN an engagement forced upon them
because OF hostility in one section of
society" But this was far from being
truculent speech. It reveals a John

tne campaign days Of 1860. He Is a
wiser, II not sadder, man.

mainly matters Of degree" He added
however, that I'VE cannot understand

Inc unfortunate fact of the matter is
that our rhetoric has not kept pace
with the speed Of social and economic
cnange. Our political debates, our public
olscourse-on current domestic and
economic issueS-too often bear little
relation to the practical problems we
face"
TO this, those of us who remember
the recent political debates can only
add: Amen! Still, it is a good thing that
a harvard man should be saying such
tnings TO Yale men. 1t would be much
netter II the Presidents remarks were

a large number of Americans. Unfortun-
ately, they won't be.

More Red Tape


The District Building dragged its
heels for months over whether to mi
tlate an urban renewal project on those
portions Of the Boiling and Anacostia
air fields to be abandoned by the mill
tary. Finally, acting under direct en-
couragement from both the White House
ana the Housing and Home Finance
agency, the Commissioners approved an
application to the HHFA for a loan tn
finance planning and engineering
studies.
Now an HHFA field representative
IN Philadelphia says there will be an
INDEFINITE delay In processing the loan
among other things, he wants to wait
until the Defense Department completes
ltS own detailed plans for retaining q
portion OF the land. He also is quoted
as questioning the legality of the project
This is nonsense. The White House
through the Budget Bureau, made clear
last January that substantial portion
OF the land would be available for urban
renewal soon, a statement in which the
De1enSe Department later concurred.
IL is true, Of course, that detailed urban
renewal planning cannot begin until
the military plans are known. But there
are number of consuming pre-
urinary studies which can and should
be started as soon as possible. The need
is urgent, in view of the hope of District
officials that the project might include
substantial degree of critically needed
relocation housing.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Political Pressure for Mediocre
BY GOULD LINCOLN

gone on record against doc
tors, but 1t surely has against
the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Not for Political Football
Mediocre for the aged In this
day and age-for those who
are unable to meet the addi-
tional financial burden caused
by illness-ought not to be
a football Of partisan poll
tics But how this aid Is to
be provided is'the real issue.
In the old days, doctors gave
their services free to many
needy persons, old and young.
So did many hospitals.
They still do. But there has
been a great growth In public
assistance, especially to the
aged, and in health insurance,
which eases the burden. The
Federal Government already
is deeply involved through
programs Of assistance for
the aged under Social Secur-
ity (but not specifically for
medical asSistance) and I'M
der the Kerr-Mills Act which
does provide Government
funds to match programs set
up by the States, and under
State control.
One argument used by con-
gressional opponents of the
Kennedy bill-which would
make medical assistance
available to all those under
Social Security whether af-
fluent or poor and which does
not cover some three or four
million Of the aged not now
under Social Security-is that
not enough time has been
given for the operation of
the Kerr-Mills Act. They see
no reason for embarking on
another program at this time.
Many Of the States already
have begun programs under
the Kerr-Mills Act, and they
are working effectively.
The Kerr-Mills Act was
passed in 1860. It contains
two basic programs-OAA
and MAA-expanded match
ing Federal payments for
persons IS years Of age and
over receiving old age assist
ance. and a new program to
help meet the needs Of the
aged who have enough money
70 pay day-to-day living ex-
oenses but not sufficient to
meet medical costs.
Secretary Of Health, Ed
lcation and Welfare Ribicoff,
however, has reported that to
continue to rely on the Kerr
Mills program alone would
lot only fail to cover many
ICED persons in need, but also
would be very costly in gen.
raj revenues" Mr.. Ribicoff
here put his finger on a ma

President Kennedy's pro-
posal for medical care for the
aged-embodied In the An
derson-King bills now un-
der the guns in the House
Ways and Means COMMITTEES,
The committee met yesterday
in executive session, with the
Dill, several proposed substi-
tutes and a plethora Of pro-
posed amendments for con-
sideTation. No one knows how
long 1t viii take to whip a
measure into shape. The adj
ministration is pressing hard
for the provisions Of the An
derson-King bill, which calls
Tor financing the medical
care program through Social
Security taxes. Unless the adj
ministration is willing to &C.
cept compromises, it does not
now appear that the Ander-
son-King bill will get out of
the committee. Its IS MEM
bers-15 Democrats and 10
Republicans-are reported to
be split on the bill somewhere
between Is to IL against and
Is to 10 against.
In the meantime, the admin
istration and the Democratic
National Committee continue
to strike at the American
Medical Association which
has strongly opposed the
Presidents program of med
ical care for the aged. The
ANA has charged that the
bill Is a step toward socialized
medicine; that the Federal
Government eventually win
move into health care for
young and old. This is vehe-
mently denied by supporters
OF the Kennedy bill. President
Kennedy has charged that
the ANA opposed and sought
to defeat Social Security when
it was being considered in
Congress and is merely con-
tinuing that opposition
against his medical care bill.

Different View
I would Ike to comment {

l would like to comment on
a slight inaccuracy regard
ing the senatorial race in
Connecticut which appeared
in the column by Gould
Lincoln, entitled THE Polit-
= ical MIL" on June 5.
AS a preface, / should say
that Mr.. Lincoln's column is
usually very Informative and
accurate; but in the case of
Connecticut, there are fac
tual errors. He SAYS the
H. E. w. Secretary Abraham
Ribicoff will have the Sena-
torial nomination" and that
"a Lodge-Ribicoff race next
November will be q return
political match" He states
that Mr.. Ribicoff is today
rated the strongest vote
getter the Democrats have in
the State"
First, Mr.. Ribicoff does not
yet have the senatorial NOM
nation, and there Is q very
strong sentiment in Connecti-
cut for Congressman-at-
Large Frank Kowalski. Since
this column was written.
Representative Seely-Brown
has been backed by the Re-
publicans as their candidate
for the United States Senate.
SO. there cannot be a Lodge
Ribicoff race next November
in any case.
The statement that Mr..
Ribicoff Is today rated the
strongest vote-getter the
Democrats have in the State
should be qualified because
many people feel that the
strongest vote-getter is Rep
resentative Kowalski. The
fact on which this judgment
Is based is the size Of the vote
Mr.. Kowalski pulled in 1860
the total Of 657,6so votes.
rhls is the highest vote ever
racked up by any Democrat
N Connecticut history, and
exceeded that recorded by
ne very popular President
kennedy in that same year.
The argument that Mr..
Ribicoff is q strong vote
.etter Is based on the fact
hat in 1858 he won the
jovernorship with a 26S 900
'ote majority. The important
act however, is that he was
against an unknown
nd his total vote was some
10000 votes less than was
egistered by Congressman
Aowalski in 1860 and 100000
esS than Congressman
Nowalski received in 1858
gainst a very strong Repub-
can candidate.
