Fearless Lobbying Probe Urged

seeing the difficulty which
faces Governor Pat Brown in
his brave effort to change
the law so that it no longer
will be enough to report the
total campaign contribution
but will be necessary to give
the names Of the persons and
the firms that provided the
money. The present law is
open to serious abuse. The
fact that so many people are
opposed to Governor Browns
reform suggests that they are
the privileged beneficiaries Of
a state Of affairs which can
not be reconciled with the
principles Of democracy.
Another point deserves
frank discussion. Why should
so many be eager to contri-
butte TO a party once 1t has
won an election. but be ex-
tremely reluctant to support
it when 1t is in opposition?
The recent history Of the
Democratic Party provides an
instructive lesson. For more
than six years the Demo-
cratic National Committee
struggled In vain to pay off q
debt Of roughly $l,0O0.000.
An additional debt Of So mil
lion was incurred in the 1860
campaign. But the party now
was in office. and this huge
debt was cleared in one
year. The Republican Ma
tional Committee could pro-
vide its own evidence on how
much easier 1t was to raise
funds before 1860 than after
President Kennedy's victory.
In short, the Fulbright in
vestigation may lead to the
conclusion that the best way
TO restrain the lobbyists Is by
changing the reporting pro-
cedures for campaign contri-
buttons and by allowing the
public. through a tax credit.
to bear a larger share Of the
cost Of a national election.

WILLIAM S. WHITE
Grasp Cuban NettIe, u. S. Urged

note from DR.. Miro Cardona
proclaiming continued
friendship in these words:
you loyalty serve your
country; I with true passion
serve my lost country"
These words are reproduced
here in fairness to Mr.. Hur-
witch, whom this columnist
recently included by infer
ence among the administra-
ton whiz kids who have been
altogether too cocky and
cocksure toward the exiles.
Such whiz kids do exist. and
so do such attitudes. But the
record available here does
not suggest that the indict-
ment leaked from exile
sources against Mr.. Hurwitch
personally ever even came
from DR.. Miro Cardona.
To return to the central
issue as to how we should
deal with the exiles, the cold
evidence suggests that the
answer should be mot
much" We ought not to
leave any real responsibility
to them for getting rid Of
Fidel Castro - because It is
our own responsibility. We
will never see the end Of
Castroism by letting some
George - some exile group,
some handful Of small Latin
American states-do 1t while
we look the other way.
We shall do it only when
we grasp the nettle and take
up our full obligations to
lead this hemisphere. We
must force a true and total
quarantine Of Castro Cuba
by persuasion among our
Latin American neighbors If
possible, but by putting
naked and limitless Ameri-
can economic force upon all
breakers Of the quarantine If
we must.

Enforcing Total Quarantine of Castro
In Hemisphere Seen Necessary Step

OF the massive Cuban
headache the only possible
prognosis now is that it will
become much worse before
there can be hope that it
may get much better.
The area of acute pain has
shifted from the hemisphere
peril posed by the Soviet
lodgment there, a chronic
peril, but not the immediate
problem. For this Govern
ment is moving into an i'm
mensely complicated task of
a kind with which this Ma
ton has never before had to
cope. This is to deal with an
exile movement transplanted
to the United States much as
the exile Czech and Polish
and French resistance gov
ernments were dumped upon
the British Isles during the
Second World War.
The Cuban exiles have now
been forbidden to continue
those gallant but Intellectual
hit-and-run raids against
Castro Cuba which Wash
ington felt would only give
the Russians some excuse to
retain troops In Cuba. The
exiles thus have been neu-
tralized militarily; but what
to do with them In the fu-
ture?
The first phase Of the new
American policy will be to
try to unity these frustrated
patriots, who presently are
in a dozen separate major
groups. Assuming this aim is
reached-and this alone is
iffy-more knotty questions
will follow. To what degree
can they then be used re-
sponsibly against Mr.. Cas-
tro, with respect for their
own dignity but with respect

A strong case against the
Judgment Of the Secretary
Of Defense has been made
before the Mcclellan COM
mittee by the commanders
Of the Air Force and the
Navy.
This Is dramatically un-
usual and little understood
even among well-informed
people who follow the news
closely.
The air and sea command
ers are saying that the Sec
retary Of Defense is insisting
on supplying them with a
critically important airplane
that they do not want to fly.
They do not want to fly 1t
because they think 1t is q
second-best airplane. They
think II would risk maximum
security In q contest with
Russian aircraft. They want
the ledge Of advantage"
they say would be provided
by another design.
In this context they recall
two distressing conditions in
the past. One was the SUI
periority Of the Japanese
Zero fighter at the opening
Of World War II, q superior
ity with q tragic cost TO us.
The other was the necessity
Of concentrating our very
best aircraft at the time Of
the Cuban crisis last fall be-
cause our planes we're likely
10 tangle with the Russian
MIG-2l. We did not dare
risk anything but our best
against the Russians, even In
Cuba.
This has very little 10 do
with "commonality." (The
plane is 10 be used by both
services.) It may not have
too much 10 do with saving
money. There Is an argu-
ment about that.
But there Is no argument,

next door to Laos-has Gin
vited" American help. while
in the case of Cuba, 1t is
pointed out that Castro has
invited" Soviet help.
But there is in both Situ-
ationS an anomaly. For the
Government in Cuba doesn't
represent the people, and in
Laos the "Neutralist" gov
ernment has been threatened
from within by a Communist
takeover, and it isn't clear
just what any government in
that area represents. There is
an unwillingness In WASH
ington, however, to recog-
nize the Communists as the
true enemies of the people in
both Laos and Cuba.
Although. for instance. the
United States has addressed
several communications to
Moscow about the missiles
and the continued presence
of Soviet troops in Cuba,
there is no inclination to use
force to clean up the situation
there. With respect to Laos,
however, the United States
Navy is moving into the area
with thousands of Marines,
and there Is a definite threat
to take military action.
American officials state fatty
that the Communists have
broken the truce In Laos.
Meanwhile, the debate in
side and outside of Congress
continues as to whether "in-
vasion" would mean q big
war over Cuba. But for some
reason there is little talk Of
a big war" arising when the
United States undertakes
military steps to thwart
Communist Imperialism in
Laos.

he will have unfaltering pub
lie support while the commit
tee avoids all partisan over
tones and conducts itself with
fearless impartiality. 1t can
also have the assurance that
the Executive branch will
welcome any disclosures Of
improper activity.
Without anyone so intend
ing 1t, the inquiry has al
ready turned attention on
the Importance OF campaign
contributions by lobbyists.
Most Of these contributions
are entirely within the law
and are sanctioned by politi-
cal usage. But that does not
mean that they are always in
the public interest.
Few candidates are aware
Of all the contributions TO
their campaigns. In some in
stances a lobbyist may go to
some trouble to mask his
contribution so that the can
didate himself will be ignor-
ant that 1t Is being made.
But the lobbyist who acts this
way is not engaged in an
exercise for the public good.
It is not unknown in Wash
ington that a lobbyist will
come to a Representative or
a Senator. present check
stubs showing contributions
over a period Of years, and
then ask for a political favor
in return for this financial
help. Most members. to their
honor, reject with indigna-
ton all such ignoble bar
gains. But there are some
who find 1t hard to maintain
their independence; and what
is true Of Congress is dan
gerously true Of State legis-
latures, whose laws and Gus
toms often make them vul-
nerable to uncomfortable

perative that no set Of for
eigners, however decent, can
be allowed to run the foreign
policy of the United States?
How can they be kept from
falling apart into jealously
rival factions, having always
in mind that there has been
no resistance movement in
all history in which personal
political ambition and self
seeking has not to some ex-
tent marched with unseltish
patriotism?
And If and when the Cas-
tro-Communist cancer has
been cut from Cuba, what
regime will take its place
and how much will the
United States necessarily be
involved In the reconstitu-
ton Of the new Cuba? Will

Undeniably, the future
stretches out gloomily for us
at best. Undeniably, too, the
exiles have picked up that
old American technique Of
calculated leaks" to advance
causes which may be honor
able, or sometime self-seek-
ing. A recent case suggests
that the American press was
misled by such a leak, ="
ostensibly from the recently
resigned head Of all the
exiles, Or. Jose Miro Car

Robert Hurwitch, as having

Laos and Cuba Offer Contrast in u. S.
Handling of Two Trouble Spots

Most Americans can't pin
point Laos on a world map.
They know it's somewhere in
Southeast Asia. Yet they read
IN the newspapers that Amer
lean Marines are being
rushed to the area, that
American soldiers have been
losing their lives next door
in South Vietnam, and that
the President Of the United
States is engaged in serious
discussions which are indie
ative Of a crisis with the
Soviet Union about Laos.
In contrast, Just 80 miles
away is Cuba, where the
Soviet Union has between
10000 and 10000 troops and
technicians and the latest
weapons Of warfare. But the
United States hesitates to
invade Cuba, though it is
apparently ready to threaten
the use of military force in
Laos.
1t isn't explained Just why
1t is an "act of war" to in
wade Cuba, but isn't an act
Of war to use troops in South
east Asia.
Nor is it clear to anybody
just why international COM
plications" and the "escala-
ton" from one stage in the
crisis to another isn't feared
with respect to Laos, but is
given as the reason for Amer
ican hesitation in Cuba.
The foreign policy Of the
United States today toward
Russia Is a mixture Of strong
words at times and long pc
riodS Of inaction. The strange
attitude with reference to
Cuba because of a fear of
offending the Soviet Union
is, Of course, explained in the
hackneyed phrases of di-
plomacy. In the one case, 1t
