Cultural Center Boost

With rare exception, the Executive
Branch has Stoutly protected Govern
ment employees against campaign fund
solicitations beyond the two annual well
fare drives, 1t is unlikely, then, that
any President would careleSsly suspend
a rule Of such obvious popularity.
e. President Kennedy, it is known,
considered long and carefully before
approving a special campaign, June To-
80, to raise funds for the National Gull
tural Center. AS one of the centerS
most ardent boosters, Mr.. Kennedy
finally was convinced that the areas
100000 Federal workers and military
personnel should have an opportunity
to contribute.
Their participation means more
than their own dollars. Fund raiSers
for the center constantly are asked by
other groups: What are the Govern
ment employees doing? After all, they
are WaShington'S biggest industry" 1t
will be much easier to win financial
support Of other groups-busineSS pro-
feSSional, labor, school and foundations
If the right tone and spirit are forth
coming from the Federal workers.
President Kennedy has stressed that
contributions will be voluntary and
personal solicitation of individual en-
ployes is not contemplated or desired"
Cultural Center leaders only hope en-
ployeS react as generously as John S.
Gleason, jr., who despite his busy job as
Veterans Administrator, volunteered to
lead the special Federal campaign.

Puerto Rico and us.

Joseph I. Puente In a let
ter May IS does extreme vio-
lence to the views held by
Governor Luis Munoz Marin
of Puerto Rico.
Mr.. Puente apparently has
failed to differentiate be-
tween the Governors refer
ences to the views held and
expressed by others, includ-
ing the enemies of the United
States and Of democracy, and
the views held by the Cover
nor himself.
The Governor is amply on
record, in the hearings be-
fore a subcommittee Of the
House Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee on May 16
and before numerous other
audiences, as to his appre-
citation for and wholehearted
support of the relationship
between Puerto Rico and the
United States. He, in fact,
has had perhaps as much as
anyone else to do with the
shaping of this relationship,
which he feels is a great one
and which he has said over
and over again has been of
mutual benefit to the United
States and to Puerto Rico.
His present effort is not to
change that status but to
clarity it, to batten 1t down
legally, and to give the peo-
pie Of Puerto Rico an OPP
portunity to demonstrate at
a plebiscite their desire to
live under either common
wealth. statehood or In
dependence. The Governor
personally is for continued,
perfected Commonwealth, es-
tablished through a clarifi-
cation of the existing COM
pact between the United
States and Puerto Rico.
Mr.. Puente states that the
Governors views regarding
the relationship of Puerto
Rico and the United States
are "the same expressed by
Fidel Castro weekly from his
Havana podium." Mr.. Puente
unfortunately does not rea-
lie that what the Governor
has said is that those who
question the validity of the
present relationship between
the United States and Puerto
Rico, stating that it is still
held in a colonial relation
ship. give voice and support
to the same charges as those
heard from Castro. This is
not the Governors view,
however, which he has made
clear many. many times. The
fact is that he is considered
perhaps the outstanding
democratic leader In Latin
America and the claim that
there is any parallel between
his views and those held
by Castro does violence to
reason and fact.

Further violence was pres

reached an agreement and
the five Negroes were hired.
But before the agreement
was reached, Herbert Hill,

PreCedes Other Issues
The explosive civil rights
issue has thrust aside, tenn
porarily at least, President
Kennedy's most important
Gin his opinion) legislative
proposal to lower Federal in
come taxes-now before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee. The Presidents BROTH
er, Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy, is to 60 before
the House Judiciary Com

sent the Presidents recon-
mendations for additional
civil rights legislation, widely
speculated to be much more
far-reaching than his origi-
nal proposals. proposal
which was not even expected
to be taken up this session.
Representative Celler Of New
York, chairman of the Ju-
dietary Committee, has said
he would wind up public
hearings on civil rights June
IA. Now, it is said, the plan is
to close hearings earlier and
get down to work writing a
bill for presentation to the
House. Anyway, the talk is
that the civil rights bill will
precede the tax bill. The
Rules Committee is expected
to report 1t without much
delay. and the House will pass
it. The Senate has been the
stumbling block to passage
Of civil rights legislation in
the past. But 1t may not be
this time, depending on the
character Of the measure.
And this time, there is likely
to be plenty Of Republican
support to force. If necessary,
a vote in that chamber.
The Kennedy administra-
ton apparently Is going all
out to ease the tense racial
situation which has arisen.

THE ECONOMIST
Allied Dissension on NucIeur Control
ON TODAY'S WORLC

10 be put forward essen
TALLY verbal solutions for this
basically political problem.
One such solution, inspired in
part by the British, was the
decision taken at Ottawa to
keep everything as it is, to
give no name to this nom
decision, but, when French
men are out of earshot, to
call it an "inter-allied" nu-
clear force.
This force will consist Of
Britain's existing V-bomber
squadrons (still under British
control and withdrawable at
any time). plus three Amer
lean missile-carrying subma-
rines in the Mediterranean,
plus a number Of existing and
planned fighter bomber
squadrons contributed by
seven or eight other coun-
tries. These squadrons will be
armed with American land
therefore America Neon
trolled) nuclear warheadS.
All this amounts to practical
ly nothing. The only thing
that might be called new,
and family hopeful, is the
decision to allow non-Amer-
lean officers to play a part
in the Strategic Air Com
mand's planning at Omaha.
Second Solution Offered
A second solution is being
urged by the United States.
This involves a fleet OF con-
verted merchant ships. firing
Polaris missiles and manned
by.mixed crews-the famous
"multilateral" solution. The
British government has for
some months been differing
over the proposal. Since the
French are exceedingly UNI
likely to join such a scheme.
1t all depends upon Britain
or the whole rickety edifice
would collapse into a bilat-
eral operation conducted by
the United States and West
Germany. Nobody but the
West Germans would be hap
by about this. But before any
other Europeans join in, they
want 10 know whether Con-
gress Is going 10 allow them
q real snare IN the control OF
the force. Unless II does,
this solution too is merely
mechanical.
The fundamental weakness
failure TO solve the prob
lem Of sharing ultimate po-
litical control-remains. II Is
a weakness that will be with
us so long as General de
Gaulle remains intransigent-
ly parochial, so long as the
British other. and so long
as President Kennedy fails 10
persuade his countrymen
that a genuine sharing OF
sovereign control over nu-
clear flrepower or a tragic
proliferation OF national
armories Is the only real
choice before them.

The civil rights issue-the
race issue-has exploded not
only in the lap of the Ken
nedy administration, but in
the lap Of the entire Nation.
It is no longer just a Southern
issue; it is a national issue.
Indignation is in many places
bursting the bonds of segre-
cation. Negro demonstrations,
highlighted in Mississippi and
Alabama, have moved to
Philadelphia, Los Angeles and
many other States and towns.
They have moved from the
issues Of education and vot-
ing to those of employment
and union membership, to
the desegregated use of all
public facilities, including
parks and transportation,
and to the desegregated use
of all places Of entertainment,
hotels, theaters, restaurants,
all privately owned, and to
stores Of all kinds. Some of
these demonstrations have led
to violence and death. Nam
moth demonstrations are
promised, including huge
picket lines.
The Kennedy administra-
ton during the last two years
has done much to eliminate
race discrimination by legal
steps and persuasion. Further,
the President has sent Federal
marshals and troops into Mis-
sissippi and Alabama in the
interest of enforcing Federal
court orders and maintaining
the peace. In both States, the
Governors have been strongly
opposed to the demands of
integrationistS. In both States
troops still remain.
OminOuS Statement
In the States of the North
and West where "demonstra-
tons" are in progress or
promised, Governors u Re-
publican and Democratic
are supporters of civil rights
and Indignation. Gov. Rock
efeller Of New York has in
the past chided the Ken
nedy administration for not
pressing for stronger civil
rights laws at the hands of
the Democratic controlled
Congress. Gov. Scranton of
Pennsylvania and Gov. Rom
ney Of Michigan, like Gov.
Rockefeller members Of the
Republican Party, have made
definite and firm statements
favoring civil rights for the
Negro-and so has Demo-
cratic Gov. Brown of Califor-
mia. Whether these Northern
and Western Governors will
find themselves confronted
with the problem of main
tanning peace and order will
depend upon the extremes
to which either or both sides
in the race issue go.
In the most recent demon
stration in Philadelphia,
when Negroes and their lead
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-01

racial bias crops up in trial, however,
it should be condemned unSparingly.
For justice will be dead in this country
If the day ever comes when white men
will refuse to convict other white men,
regardless Of the evidence, and when
Negroes will refuse to convict other
Negroes merely because of their race.

Facts on Pensions

your May 70 editorial,
Financing Retirement" con-
tains some interesting
thoughts about financing the
Civil Service retirement sys-
TEN, but it overlooks several
important relevant facts.
First, most private pension
plans are not financed
equally by employers and
employees. Many plans are
paid for entirely by the en-
ployer. Those which have en-
ploye contributions usually
are financed approximately
two-thirds by the employer.
Second, as to non-Govern-
ment workers paying for the
cost of CSR pensions, this is,
of course, true. But the re-
verse is also true-namely,
that the Government worker
is paying for part Of the cost
of the pension of the nom
Government worker in the
higher product prices that
are charged by the latter'S
employer, so as to include
the pension costs In his total
production costs. On the
other hand, the Govern
ment worker who has no pen
sion plan is paying something
toward the pension cost Of
both Government workers
with pension plans.
Third, the total cost of the
CSR system, although rela-
lively high, is not excessive
compared to the combined
cost of social security and
certain private pension plans
that supplement social Sc
curity.

Your editorial, Financing
Retirement" calls for clari-
fication. The basic reasons
for the so-called actuarial
deficiency" in the Civil Serv-
ice retirement fund are: %
When the retirement act was
passed in 1920. 1t provided
for credit to be given for
any service performed prior
to the effective date Of the
act; ~ credit is given for
military service with no COM
pensating contribution to the
fund; 90 credit is given for
temporary service without re-
tirement deduction; a.
there was no appropriation
for the first eight years and
subsequent appropriations
prior to 1856 did not match
the employe contribution;
60 employee benefit proW-
sions have been liberalized
and made applicable to prior
service without compensating
contributions; 90 with gen.
eral pay increases benefits
have been based on the
higher average salaries and
applied TO prior service where
contributions were at the
lower level; % retired en-
ployes and survivors have
had increases without the
fund being compensated; 49,
provisions have been made
for survivor annuities not in
effect during employees ac-
tive service.
The greatest reason for
this deficiency" is the
shortage In congressional
m atching appropriations.
Between 1920 and 1856 the
employe deductions totaled
$500, 744,2l4 and Congress
sional appropriations were
$3.633,55i,350 The interest
paid by the Government dur
ing this period was $2,-
l57,8l3,767. This interest sum
would have been considerably
greater had there been
matching appropriations
from the beginning. Since
1856 the employe contribution
OF Ga per cent has been
matched by 6la per cent by
the Government agency. Fed
eral retirees are assured that
even without more legislation
their retirement fund is In no
Jeopardy for q great many
years.

everyone else, the perfect
nuclear world would be one
in which nuclear weapons did
not exist. The second degree
Of perfection might be for
the United States to have an
unshakeable nuclear monop-
oily. And the balance of world
terror might even be man
ageable If the power Of
nuclear humiliation were,
somehow, to be restricted to
Washington and Moscow.
But the worst prospect of all
is one in which a multiplicity
Of nations would possess the
bomb and the means Of de-
livering it. Thus for the
United States the decisions
taken at the conference of
NATO ministers at Ottawa
last week leave matters only
a short distance away from
the worst Of all possible
worlds.
Ottawa has, in fact, under
lined an old nuclear truth:
the nearer you get to reality,
the further away you are from
perfection. And the reality is
that Congress does not want
the United States to share its
nuclear knowledge with other
nations, let alone allow other
governments room for a fin
ger on the American trigger.
SO long as this doubtless
understandable attitude per-
sists on Capitol Hill, Britain
and France are both likely to
persist in their attempt to
become and remain separate
nuclear powers on their own.
At the same time the danger
will increase that other ma
tons - notably West Ger
many will begin to reach
out for atomic weapons Of
their own.
Reason Plain
The reason Is plain: II is
impossible TO be absolutely
certain that a nation will risk
It's own obliteration for some-
body else's sake. Mr.. Khrush-
chev has shown that he will
not risk the destruction OF
the Soviet Union In the in
