Veteran Willie Atterberry re-

of the way, second.
The "old pros" Jay Sylvester

in the discus, although they
only got off the plane to join
the team Friday night, five
days after most of the others
had arrived.
Two other late arrivals,
Harold Connolly and Parry
O'Brien, turned out to be life
savers. Connolly won the ham
mer for the third time in the
five meets, and O'Brien was
second in the shotput to team
mate Dave Davis, both on Sat-
urday.
Beatty Pulls Muscle
Jim Beatty, the Los Angeles
star who was favored to win
the 5000, did not start because
of an injured leg muscle. The
result was a 1-2 Soviet sweep.
At a poSt-meet press confer
ence, Jordan said:
I'm pleased that the men
won and sorry the women
lost"
He looked more sorry than
pleased, but he singled out
Carr, BurleSon and Robert
HayeS-who won the 100 in
1912 Saturday - for special
praise.
Russian Coach Gavrill Ka-
robkov, who gets a major share
of the credit for strengthening
Soviet weak spots, said:
I'VE promised you a big fight
and a big welcome. I think we
kept both promises"

is a difference in the way it is
pronounced and also in the
way it is played.
A few minutes after his per-

side in the dark alley with a
guy and leaned against a parked
convertible mot his).

Davis is a happy-go-lucky
guy with blond hair, thick BIZ
cops, and yard-wide shoulders
that look somehow as if shoul-
der pads were built inside. He's
an ex-paratrooper who was
born and brought up around
BladenSburg and Riverside.
He's a local boy who, you could
say, is still waiting to make it
good.
Since graduating from Mary
land, Davis has played two years
Of Canadian football, three
games with the Redskins, a full
season with the Boston Pat
riots (making all-AFL) and
then was peddled to the Hous-
ton Oilers.
Davis is a guy built with
plenty of bounce, and it's a
good thing. His stint with the
Redskins was smashed when his
knee was, too. Then he junked
pro football for good one day
when he received word that his
youngest girl was near death
and he found himself helplessly
some 1000 miles from home.

Senators Restore Tariff Benefits for Tito, Poles

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has finally given
President Kennedy q major VIC
tory in the foreign aid bill after
q series Of setbacks.
The committee voted 9-5 late
yesterday to restore the Presi-
dents discretionary authority
to extend to Yugoslavia and
Poland any tariff concessions
made to other countries under
certain conditions.
The President would have to
decide and report to Congress
that such action would be in
the national interest and would
promote the independence of
those Iron Curtain countries

from domination by interna-
tional communism.
Withdrawn Last Year
The Presidents authority to
make these concessions was
withdrawn by Congress last
year in the new reciprocal trade
law.
When Secretary of State
Rusk testified on foreign aid
last month, he pointed out that
this amendment does not In
volve aid to Marshal Tito's
Yugoslavia and Poland, but
only tariff benefits.

it is important to encourage
those countries to assert Their

Deeper Fund Gut
Earlier yesterday, however,
the Senate committee made q
deeper fund cut in the foreign
aid program. It chopped 500
million from the 5000 million
for the Social Progress Trust
Fund for Latin America. It also
took IS million from admins
trative expenses.
This brought to $377 million
the total amount the Senators
have cut from Mr.. Kennedy's
request for $4.5 billion.

Matter of Identity

You recently printed a let
ter signed by William r.
Throckmorton. My friends
thought it was written by me
and consequently 1 have been
sub ected to consider
able criticism.
I have resided in Washing
ton since 1922 and have been
active and well known in the
civic and business life of the
community, having been
president of the Washington
Real Estate Board and vice
president of the Metropolitan
Police Boys Club.
The purpose Of this let
ter is to properly identify my
self and to state that regard
less of the recent aspersions
which have been cast on Gov.
Wallace. as an elected Off
cial ! admire him for fighting
for the rights to which he is
dedicated and committed.
This writer is in favor of
States rights and not in
centralized government. I be-
lieve further that local prob
lens should be left to the
local governments.

Wheat Deal

In announcing his wheat deal with
the Russians, the President sounded
a bit like Shakespeare's lady who doth
protest too much.
Mr.. Kennedy said he had decided
to approve the sale after consultation
with the National Security Council and
after informing the appropriate leaders
OF the Congress. The export licenses,
he said, would be granted on the basis
Of commitments that the grain is for
delivery to and use in the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe only. In other
words, there will be many tons of wheat
for Russian Communists and European
satellite Communists, but not one grain
OF 1t can go to the hungry people
who are being held in bondage by the
Bearded One down in Havana.
The President then made the argu-
ment that this deal will ease our
number one farm surplus, improve our
balance OF payments, etc. Finally, he
said the United States has never had
policy against selling agricultural
commodities to Communists in Russia
and Eastern Europe For years, he
added, we have been doing precisely
this, with the result (this seemed to
be something Of an afterthought) that
they have had less gold to spend on
military equipment
Assuming all this to be true, which
1t is, why the elaborate argument in
Justification of the dealP The answer,
OF course, is domestic politics. There
is an election coming up next year and
the Republicans will seize upon any
club to belabor the administration. In
fact, some of them have already taken
few tentative swipes at Mr.. Kennedy
In this wheat business.
But none Of this alters the fact
that the wheat deal makes sense. 1t
makes sense with respect to both our
domestic and our international inter
estS. And since it does make sense
the President did the right thing in
approving it-however much he NAV
feel compelled to explain and Justify.

mains to be proved in court, but the
indictment at least serves as a warning
that the Federal Government is alert
to the menace of Gripping explosives
disguised as playthings. In the Wash
ington area alone, more than 70 cherry
bomb victims were treated in hospitals
this year.
Some Government enforcement
agencies question the adequacy of
present laws to cope with the Illicit
fireworks trade. Almost every State
and the District have laws against re-
tail sale of fireworks considered dan
gerous, but they often are laxly en-
forced or are punishable by light fines.
However, the chief handicap is the
difficulty in making existing Federal
laws work. While it is illegal to ship
to any State such as Virginia or Mary
land, or the District, for retail sale,
manufacturers still find ways of beat
ing the law.
Consequently, successful prosecu-
tons of interstate violators have been
few-only five in the nearly 10 years
the present law has been in force. Never
has a suspected major manufacturer
or distributor been bagged. Nor will
there be any improvement until the
public stops pouring millions into boot
legged fireworks and there are Federal
and State laws that will work.

Worried Ben Bella

Algeria'S Berbers seem to have be-
come bigger problem than President
Ahmed Ben Bella had anticipated. Thev
apparently do not like him or his pol
icieS, and SO they are resisting him in
their mountain Businesses. The Situa-
.tion is one that could become exceed
ngly ugly, even to the point of pro-
tracted civil war.
only few days ago Mr.. Ben Bella
SCORED at this idea. But he is not
soothing now. On the contrary. he has
cancelled his scheduled trip to New York
to address the United Nations General
Assembly, and to journey on from there
to visit Fidel Castro, his good friend
In Havana. AS Mr.. Ben Bella has put it.
he must try to do something drastic
about the Berbers: There will be no
discussions with the criminals, no bar
gaining. They only understand the lam
guage of machine guns"
These words are ominouS. They sug-
gest that the dictator of Algeria-fol-
lowing the example of his dear friend
and comrade" in Havana-may be pre-
pairing to play the role of grand execu-
toner in some sort of blood purge
But there is great difference between
Castro'S and Ben Bellas capacity to
terrorize. The BerberS are not like the
poor defenSeleSS CubanS who have been
slain in droves by CaStro's goons
Ethnically quite different from the
mass of Algerians, they are militarily
sophisticated people, and they do not
allow themselves to be butchered. Nor
do they allow themselves to be dictated
to by Mr.. Ben Bella.
This prospect would perhaps be less
significant than it is if the Berbers
were not so numerous as they are They
number about 2 million in a total Al
gerian population of around 10 million.
They are an extremely important mi
nority. Clearly, if he really understands
their military capabilities, the President
OF Algeria must be a decidedly worried
man right now.

Reason for Treaty?

There is an unobvious but
important reason for the So
VETS to have suddenly re-
versed themselves and become
proponents of the same test
ban treaty proposal that they
ignored when offered them
in 1859 by Mr.. Dean. This
reason is the changed status
in Cuba.
With communism estab-
lished in Cuba, the Soviet
maneuver - the test ban
treaty-eaSes our watchful-
ness, leaving an unsecured
door to a dvance its cause
through Cuba into all of Lat
in America. Although the
United States could not have
avoide d ratification of the
treaty without exposing itself
to an adverse world opinion,
its acceptance by the United
States cannot but help
smooth the way for increased
Communist infiltration Of
Latin America.
It is reasonable to believe
that were not Cuba now a
Communist state, the Soviets
would never have brought
out Mr.. Deans propose d
treaty.

Stay of Execution

We are happy that the
Giles brothers have gained a
stay of execution. We hoped
that the grave injustice I'M
covered in this case would be
recognized when brought to
Governor Tawes' attention
and we have not been disap-
pointed. 1t seems to us, how
ever, that the same shocking
facts which led him to put
off their execution now call
for the lightest sentence pos
sible. After all, if they were
indeed not guilty of rape in
the full meaning of violence
against an innocent victim,
then life Imprisonment is not
a fit sen tence for what
turns out to be no more
than disorderly conduct. We
have taken the trouble to
read everything available on
this case and the evidence of
innocence of these Negro
youths is overwhelming.
In these troubled times,
when all white men who love
their country want to prove
that hatred and violence
against Negro citizens are not
typical of our feelings toward
them, Governor Tawes can
set an example of fairness
and decency by melting out
justice rather than ven-
geance.
We urge the Governor to
reuced the sentence against
Johnson and Giles to the
proportions which fit tn cir
misdemeanor, a sentence
which would be expected if
they had been born with
white skins instead Of black
ones.

and wagon maker, tool
wright, tinsmith, railroad
worker, and so forth. AS late
as 1925 some Of the highest
paid skilled workers were
those who paved streets with
bricks and the wooden
blocks, which for some years
were in vogue.
A man with no learning at
all was not really "disadvan-
tagged" until about rs or 80
years ago.
The muscle man was in
great demand. For many
years there was. in fact. a
shortage of strong backs and
arms. We imported hundreds
of thousands of Irish, Itali-
ans, Germans and Scandi-
navianS to be laborers. There
was a time when a popular
slogan read, Another day,
another dollar" But not
now-in 1963-when auto
nation is upon us.
And not, indeed, ever
again!
American industry and its
huge and excellent sch o oil
system is aware that it must
play an even larger and more
effective role. In public edu-
cation the local sch o oil
boards, still unimaginatively
tied to the past and to all the
parochial virtues Of localism,
are a bottleneck holding up
the need to expand public
education and make it more
realistically resilient.
ShOpwOrn Phrase
Education is the key. This
is a somewhat S hopworn
phrase, but it takes on new
and shining truth. The only
way our several millions of
"disadvanatged" will be fit
ted into the future is through
the application of education
al plans that will pay off in
the next four to eight years.
There is no quickie solution.
A crash program is not pos
sible.
Some persons will remain
disadvantaged. Some will be
left behind. But there is hope
that if the three great school
systems in America will find
a way to coordinate and CO.
operate on a plan that will
produce relatively quick re-
suits, we may save ourselves
from a terrible human and
political disaster.

Good Word for GA

In unusually strong language, Presi-
dent Kennedy has lowered the boom
on those dealers in rumor and gossip
who are constantly sniping at the CHA.
This needed doing and we are glad Mr.
Kennedy has done it.
The Presidents remarks were
prompted by a question at his news
conference about stories or reports"
from Saigon to the effect that the CHA
has been operating on its own in South
Wet Nam
Mr.. Kennedy said emphatically
that these reports are wholly untrue"
The director of the CHA, he said, sits
in with the Security Council and meets
regularly with the President. I'VE have
worked very closely together" The
President added that he had examined
the record very carefully" and found
nothing to indicate that the CHA has
done anything but support policy. ct
does not create policy; it attempts to
execute 1t in those areas where it has
competence and responsibility"
Mr.. Kennedy then took particular
note OF speculative stories and reports
about the recall from Saigon Of John
Richardson. In this connection the
President said, II can just assure you
fatty that the CHA has not carried out
independent activities but has operated
under close control of the Director of
Central Intelligence, operating with the
cooperation Of the National Security
Council and under my instructions"
We do not suppose that this forth
right statement viii serve for long to
silence those reporters and commen-
tators who, for reasons of their own,
try to undermine the CHA, or who let
themselves be used" by others to that
end. 1t will be helpful, however, to
remember the Presidents statement
the next time some such irresponsible
report crops up.

Annoying Splinter

The liberal splinter group
in Arlington County, the
Abe, keeps trying to make
an issue out of the decision
OF the Republican candidates
for the County Board not to
appear before county groups.
This splinter group says this
is unorthodox. Could it be
that they would like to run
the Republican campaign?
What could any conserva-
tive, or middle-of-the-road
candidate, hope to gain by
attending these meetings? A
citizens group calls a meet
ing. They have a moderator.
not an impartially selected
moderator. but one selected
by the group, usually an Of
ficer of the group. This mod
orator has complete charge
of the meeting. He can select
the questioner, if oral uues-
tons are permitted, or if
only questions written at the
beginning of a meeting are
permitted, the moderator"
can have a field day selecting
questions he likes.

groups are made up of the

Picketing Incident

Last Saturday while par
ticipating in orderly and law
full picketing in protest of the
policy of refusal to sell homes
to Negroes at the Belair de-
velopment, I watched two
men in a large green truck
drive slowly down the high
way shouting obscenities at
US. With a start, I observed
one of the men point a gun
in our direction, and before
I could decide whether he
was merely brandishing an
unloaded weapon. the man
walking next to me clutched
his arm in pain. Fortunate
ly, he was not seriously in
jured by the pellet which !
picked up, but the implica-
ton that the weapon might
have been either a more pow
erful rifle or shotgun was
clear to both the police and
the demonstrators.
1t is my belief that by con-
tinuing to uphold segregation
in housing, developers are
fostering here the climate of
extreme danger and violence
which exists in many parts
Of our country today. / am
sure that neither they, nor
the groups demonstrating,
nor the greater Washington
community desire the type of
atmosphere that this incident
portends.
