Agent of Mercy

In world that seems to grow more
contentious from day to day, and in
which mans inhumanity to man Is
confirmed with increasing frequency,
there is reason to shout three cheers
for the people who have given us the
latest pain-killing drug-aS effective as
morphine, but with no adjective quail
tiles
This looks very much like break
through Of major significance. AS re-
ported to the American Chemical So
ciety by DR.. Arthur S. Keats of Baylor
University, the new drug-called pen
tazocine-holdS out every promise Of
being true agent Of mercy. 1t will put
an end to the torment of certain dis
eases, and 1t will not make an addict
Of the user. In that respect, 1t amounts
to triumph over human agony.
The thanks and congratulations of
the Nation are owing to all hands re-
sponSible for this. The names involved
the names Of the quiet and obscure
researchers who have made the thing
posSible-have not yet been reported.
But we salute them in their anonymity,
and we assume that they will be re-
warded in due course with the recog-
milton they deserve.

Right Decision

When General Charles M. Duke
became Engineer Commissioner more
than two months ago, it was assumed
that he also would succeed his predeceS-
sor as the District representative on the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission. The fact that he did not
do so Immediately was the result Of an
extraordinary surge of political pressure
on Commissioners Tobriner and Duncan
to name James A. Washington. Among
other things, the argument was raised
that Mr.. Washington, Negro and the
civilian chairman of the D. c. Public
Utilities Commission, would be more
representative" Of the District citizens.
The Commissioners belated decision
to resist these pressureS, and to appoint
General Duke, was entirely the right
one. No reflection is cast on Mr.. Wash
ingtonS abilities by saying that General
Duke will be in better position to
represent the city'S interests on the area
commission For that is the simple truth.
AS Engineer Commissioner, the gen.
eral will be in rare position to reconcile
regional policies with those of the city.
BY virtue Of his job, he already is
deeply involved with metro problems
in other fields. In the vastly important
business of dealing with Maryland and
Virginia officials on transit matters, he
can speak with much more authority
than could Mr.. Washington. 1t is for
tunate for the city, in view Of the grow
ing importance of regional affairs, that
a member Of its governing body is willing
and able to devote his time and energies
to this additional chore.

in Leopoldville have strongly appealed
to Mr.. Thant against any such action,
and numerous Western countries, in
Guiding our own, have echoed Mr.. Adou-
las view. The reason for this is that the
Congo, which is in deep economic
trouble and full Of unrest, would once
again become place Of wild disorder
and near-anarchy If the U. N. policing
force were suddenly pulled out.
Mr.. Thant is well aware of this.
But he cannot maintain such a force
if the U. N. does not give him the money
for it. The issue is critical. Unless the
special assessments are paid, the whole
concept Of peace-promoting, peace
maintaining world organization will
wither away.

u Thont and the Como

> Secretary General U Thant has a
bear by the tail in the Congo. He says
he intends to withdraw all United Ma
tions military forces from the country
by the end of the year, but he warns at
the same time that such a withdrawal
could invite chaos.
=. This, of course, is Mr.. Thant's way
Of trying to make urgently clear to the
U,.N. that the Congolese peace-keeping
operation cannot be maintained unless
members like France and the Soviet
Union have change of heart and start
paying the special assessments levied on
them. Otherwise, according to his re-
port to the General Assembly, he will
have no choice but to liquidate the
whole business by December 81.

Congressional Cocktail

There may be a kind Of wry hope in
the recent spread of political fund-rais-
ing dinners and cocktail parties in the
District of Columbia.
This interesting custom has come

fact, has been brought here by the very
people who are the representatives in

outlanders and who benefit directly
from the custom in their home States
Senators and congressman, Democrats
and Republicans, liberals and conserva-
tiveS, Northerners, Southerners, East
ernerS and Westerners, have all bene-
fitted from the bonanza here Just as
they have back home.
But there's a difference.

that the Senators and Representatives
sent us by the first-clasS citizens will
be so impressed by our political readi-
ness in Smelling out for patty-shells that
they will do right by the District.
In our view, the only politicians en-

An experiment in education unlike
anything this country has known in a
long, long time is under way in Vir-
ginia's Prince Edward County. Some
loo colored children ranging in age
from to 10, most of them without
benefit of formal education since public
schools were closed to avoid migration
four years ago, are beginning to try to
pick up the educational pieces.
..-Dr. Neil v. Sullivan, on leave from
his own public school system in New
York State, heads up this "free" school
experiment-free in the sense that it is
supported by contributions rather than
taxes. Under DR.. Sullivan's direction
progress has been made in the task
Of assembling teachers and equipment

stab is only beginning. AS DR.. Sulli-
van has told the students, "thiS is our
finest hour, but success depends on

you students"
- DR.. Sullivan expects, on the basis
Of legal advice he has received, that the
free school program will be one-year

next fall the public schools will have
been opened. This is hope which we
share, and which must also be shared

To the Moon Together?

Few things could be more dramatic
than the idea of joint Soviet-Ameri-
can expedition to the moon. In pro-
posing the venture to the United Ma
tionS, and in suggesting that it should
becarried out "Some day in this decade"
President Kennedy has stirred the
imagination of the world.
ID Certainly, if our two countries be-
gan at once and in earnest to work
closely together on such a vast and
heroic undertaking, there would be
good reason to hope for similar CO.
operation in other areas-Berlin, for
instance-down here on terra firma.
And this cooperation in turn could
establish not merely detente, but also
the makingS of genuinely trustworthy
peace on our planet and in the infini-
tude of space and stars around US.
But still, though the mind tends to
soar when it contemplateS prospect
of this sort, feet must be kept on the
ground. In principle, the Presidents
lunar propoSal-which is in line with
a suggestion made couple of years
ago by some officials of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
is excellent and seems highly promis-
ing. Among other things, it would seem
to point the way to a pooling of efforts
calculated to speed up an expedition to
the moon and make 1t much less costly
for, us and the Russians than If we
each went our separate ways in under
taking it.
j. But-and 1t is a very big but
there is an all-important fact to be kept
In mind. This is that there is no easy
way of making compatible the tech
niqueS and thinking followed thus far
byAmericanS and Russians in preparing
for trips to the moon. Thus, for one
thing, it would be enormously difficult,
If not impossible, to wed our rocketry
with Soviet moon-ship deSignS-and
vice versa. Within the present decade
at least, such chronological marriage
will be improbable in the extreme, and
we must judge the Presidents proposal
accordingly.
Nevertheless, despite the bugs" in
it, the proposal remains full Of promise
in terms Of bringing the United States
and the Soviet Union together, and even
saving them considerable sums of money
in their lunar operations. The most
important thing, of course, is that CO.
operation in this field, apart from Gre
ating good new international feeling
and laying the groundwork for Signifi-
cant East-West agreements, would tend
to open up, at least a little bit, the
closed society of the USSR.
. These are reasons enough to make
Mr.. Kennedy'S lunar proposition some
thing that should be taken most
seriously by the Russians. They have
stpdiously avoided mentioning 1t in
their Pravda and IzveStia reports on the
Presidents speech, but let us hope that
the Khrushchev regime will respond
affirmatively to it in due course.

treaty. and that expediency
Senator Goldwater has now
denied himself. He says he is
for peace but that the test
ban treaty is merely creating
IAN illusion of peace"
All this does not mean,
however, that the Republi-
can opponents of a Gold
water nomination will not
make as much as possible of
his vote against the treaty.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
Of New York, who today is
the most outSpoken unde-
clared ndidate for the
COP. nomination, already
has declared for ratification.
Of all the other potential
candidates - and "poSsibili-
ties"-none has opposed the
treaty. On the contrary, most
of them have supported its
ratification, though only one
has been faced with the duty
of voting yes or no in the
Senate. Senator Goldwater
will not be joined In his
opposition to the treaty by
any of the Republican party
leaders of the Senate. Headed
by Senator Dir k S n Of Him
ois, the elected leaders will
vote for the treaty as "a
first step" on the way to
lessening tensions in the
world and the possibility of
war.
Peace Issue for Kennedy
The Kennedy attack
against Senator Goldwater
should he become the COP.
presidential nominee - will
be leveled. in the main,
against the Senator's anti
treaty vote. Indeed, there
seems little doubt that the
President will make as much
as he can of the peace is
sue" in his campaign for re-
election. The negotiation Of
this test-ban treaty will be
one Of his chief claims to
leadership in the fight for
world peace. AS of today, it
looks as though Communist
Russia will play along with
the idea Of lessening world
tensions. Premier Khru-
shchev has ceased-at least
temporarily - his old saber-
rafting. He is pretty much
all smiles. If this attitude
continues for another year,
If the Russians live up to
the teSt-ban treaty - and
there seems every reason to
believe they will do so for a
year or more - the peace
issue will be a powerful
weapon in the Democratic
arsenal. Much may depend,
however, on how well Mr..
Khrushchev will be able to
muzzle Fidel Castro in Cuba,
and on how extensive the
drive for Communist gov
ernments In Latin America
becomes.
In the meantime, Senator
Goldwater has painted his
image in the eyes Of the
country as a man who con-
scientiously puts his coun-
try's safety before any per-
sonal ambition he might
have to be elected President.

Senator Goldwater's pro-
missed vote against ratifica-
ton of the nuclear test-ban
treaty will not, in the opin-
ion Of many of his sup
porters, kill him off as a
leading candidate for the
Republican presid e ntial
nomination. They say this,
Notwithstanding the pub
lished predictions of political
doom for the Arizona Sem
ator If he votes against this
treaty. Also, some of the Re-
publicans who are against
his nomination very much
doubt that this anti-treaty
vote will put him out Of the
running. One Of these latter,
and a leading one, put 1t
this way: THE Gol6water
supporters - many of them
believe as he does about the
treaty. His speech in the Sen
ate against the treaty will
make them all the stronger
for his nomination. On the
other side, what Sen ator
Goldwater said will m axe
other Republicans, who pre-
fer to follow the leadership
of former President Eisen-
hover, still more opposed
to the Arizona Senator's
nomination. But not much
stronger than they already
were in opposition to him"
A main point in the think
ing Of both pro- Goldwater
and anti Goldwater Repub-
licans about the effect of "a
no" vote on the test-ban
treaty is found in the fact
that many of the Republican
and Democratic Senators who
will vote for the treaty will
do so with fingers crossed.
Indeed, some of the speeches
and statements made by
treaty supporters have been
ringed about with doubts
that the Russians will live
up to 1t and with fears that
the treaty will initiate
against the maintenance Of
military security of the
United States.
Not Decisive
Further, as things now
stand, the ratification Of the
treaty will be by Is or more
Senators over the necessary
two-thirds when the roll is
called. In other words, the
Goldwater vote will not be
decisive. If the country de-
Sires the treaty-as 1t ap-
pears to dot will have 1t.
And the GolGwater vote will
make only a small ripple
perhaps forgotten in the
coming months. Also, Sen
ator Goldwater's assertion
that he is thinking only Of
the good Of the country in
casting a vote against the
treaty, and not Of personal
political gain, will, it is urged,
do him no harm. On the other
hand, the Senator's willing
ness to stand firm for his con-
victions may aid him. I'm
doubtly, with public senti-
ment so strong for anything
that smacks of peace, it is
expedient to vote for the

This Responsibility
Boyer Doesn't Need

Boyer shows. there is no
standby on duty; without him,
a performance would be can
celled.
Character Actor"
One of the aspects of Boyer
bOxoffice appeal aStutely
noted by producers is his
popularity with men as well
as women spectators.
He long since shrugged off
the matinee idol" label, and
insists that character actor"
is the proper name for the
sharply perceptive detail with
which he enlivens a role.
THAT phrase means more
in the European theater than
it does here" Boyer points
out. "a character actor
doesn't simply mean old man
disguised in a beard"
The way in which he goes
about creating a characterize
ton, however, cannot be
easily explained.
Dominating COlOrs"
"An the attributes of this
financier l play now l found
in the script when it first
fascinated me-" he declares.
"You have to ASHORE a play
very much. l try to find the
dominating colors."
Although Boyer had real-life
acquaintance years back with
a fairly infamous Swindler-
81 was a gambler then, but
not now"-he feels his current
portrayal would have been the
same without that living
model.
"I'm sure subconsciouSly
we record such things" he
amends, ian an actor uses his
experiences"
The biggest interest Boyer
has in each part is to keep
