The Star should be quite
proud OF David Lawrence. /
Evening star., 1963-09-19

1t has been 80 years since Carl A.
Hatch came to the Senate. And 1t has
been IA years since he left to become a
Federal Judge. Very few Senator'S who
served during that period, however, are
better known, at least by reputation.
This quiet, pleasant, unassuming
man from New Mexico was the NOV
ing spirit behind the statute which
bears his name-the Hatch Act. AS
with all reform" laws, this one has
not worked miracles. But 1t can truly
be said that the American political
scene today, thanks to the Hatch Act,
is little tidier, a little cleaner. The
law limits the political activity Of
Federal workers and gives them some
protection from political exploitation.
1t also, at least in some degree, rules
out money as the decisive factor in the
winning or losing OF elections. Improve
ments still are needed. But Carl Hatch,
dead now at 73, must have looked upon
this as his major legislative achievement.
Evening star., 1963-09-19
Case for a Tax Cut

There is one overriding reason why
Congress should cut taxes and do 1t
now. This reason, simply stated, is that
the tax burden is much too heavy.
The country has been limping along
under excessively high individual and
corporate tax rates which were i'm
posed as emergency wartime measures.
The shooting stopped long time ago.
But the war-level taxes have fingered
on, one excuse after another serving
to perpetuate them. And If they are
not cut back this year, some new ex-
cuSe for not reducing them will be dug
up next year.
Representative Brown, conservative
Republican from Ohio, says he would
feel better about tax cut If Repre-
sentative Mills (who favors the pro-
posed reduction) were President. What
the Ohioan meant was that he would
have more confidence in an assurance
from Mr.. Mills, who is chairman Of
the Ways and Means Committee, that
he would hold the line on spending. So
would we. But Mr.. Mills is not Presi-
oenC. John F. Kennedy is, and he said
OF his administration last night: 1--WE
are pledged to course of true fiscal
responsibility, leading to a balanced
budget in a balanced, full-employment
economy"
This rather wordy pledge conveys
less assurance than conservatives in
Congress will want And 1t is true
that the President, on the whole, has
done better job of talking economy
than Of practicing it in his legislative
recommendations. ..
Still, the compelling argument for
a tax cut remains valid: taxes are so
high that they are drag on the econ
omy Congress ought to cut them this
year. And the legislators really have
no need to worry about extravagant
spending by the administration. The
President can't spend a nickel unless
Congress first authorizes it.

In flight Of fancy the other day,
Senator .Fulbright compared poor old
earth-bound humanity to the soaring

Elaborating his Aesopian language,
the Senator noted that the sea-gull has
a highly stylized system Of combat in
which the contending parties hop
around good deal and make noise but
refrain from actually hurting each
other How pleasant, he unused, II the
nations could work out such system
so that we could enjoy the noise and
excitement of war without killing each
other.

Aid to the Alliance

Events in Latin America seem to be
confirming the belief that the House of
Representatives made a bad mistake
when it cut $3.50 million from the annual
$600-million aid authorization for the
Alliance for Progress.
We are sympathetic to the idea that
foreign aid in general needs skeptical
congressional scrutiny But the House
action on Latin America has dealt a
psychological blow to the Alliance at
the worse possible moment. For the first
time in the two-year life of the program,
governments all over the southern con-
tinent are beginning to implement bad
ly needed-but costly-baSic reforms.
Our co-ordinator for Alliance affairs,
Teodoro MoscoSo, has just returned, for
instance, from an inspection tour Of
Ecuador and Peru with enthusiastic re-
ports about concrete moves on tax, land
and administrative reforms which are
at the heart of the Charter Of Punta
del Este.
But Ecuador and Peru are not alone
Farther south in Chile the Senate is
putting the finishing touches on an i'm
portant new income tax law. Next door
in Argentina a newly elected and re-
form minded civilian government is pre-
pairing to take office after year and
half of chaos and yelled military rule.
Even Brazil-too often considered the
incorrigible reprobate of Latin Ameri-
ca--has introduced Stricter tax collect
ing methods which have netted % per
cent increase in real tax revenues for
the first six months of this year COM
pared to the same period last year.
No one should mistake these first
glimmerings of progress for the finished
product. 1t is also understandable that
many Congressman may have endorsed
the aid cut out Of evaporation with
Latin American hardness in carrying
out reform promises. But now that those
reforms are beginning, 1t would be mex
cusable for the United States to renege
on its commitment to help share the
heavy financial burden. Predictably
Communists and extreme nationaliStS
throughout Latin America have already
launched a loud campaign using the
House action to prove North American
insincerity.
The Senate can undo this damage
by restoring the $3.50 million when the
foreign aid authorization bill comes be-
fore 1t in the next few weeks. We hope
not only that the Senate will cancel the
cut but also that in the subsequent con-
ference action, the full $600-million
authorization limit for Latin American
aid will be maintained.

WATCHING THE WORLD
BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Next Step Faces Allied Obstacle
Foreign Correspondent Of The stur

Paris, it would seem that
Mr.. Schroeder would seize
the occasion to reopen the
whole problem Of German
Identification and the status
of Berlin.
The German position on
this point seems a bit similar
to the, arguments Of Senator
Barry Goldwater that Rus
sian C concessions in Cuba
should have been exacted in
return for a test-ban treaty.
They believe, in other words,
that any further agreement
should be tied in with major
concessions on the German
problem. In leaving Paris,
Mr.. Schroeder made it very
clear that he does not believe
in the value of any detente
unless 1t attacks the real
causes of East-West tension,
that is to say the division Of
Germany"
Limited Concession
Since the French are cool
on the issue of German re-
unification and see no point
in raising the issue Of Berlin,
Mr.. Schroeder's ideas for q
policy of movement" did not
go across very we'll with his
hosts. The most the French
would concede in their sur
mary of the talks was that
the signing Of the test ban
might facilitate the solution
of other international issues.
On the specific issues un-
der consideration however,
the French attitude has been
consistently adamant. Gen.
de Gaulle, who has refused
to sign the test ban itself,
has also served notice that
he will refuse to take part
in non-aggreSSion pact with
the east. His attitude toward
the surprise attack pro-
posals are not known, but
he is expected to back the
Bonn government in oppos-
ing any agreement which
even indirectly implies rec
ognition of the East German
regime.
And so, from the American
standpoint the differences
of approach that have deve-
loped are almost beside the
point. For different reasons,
both France and Germany
seem determined to oppose
the American step-by-step
approach to a wider under
standing with the Russians.
To both governments the
idea of a detente based on
limited agreements which
bypass the irreconcilable
East-West problems appear
as a dangerous delusion.
This does not mean, Of
course, that q progressive
detente is impossible. If Rus
sia and the United States
decide to get along together
for a change, there is no
force on earth that is likely
to get in their way. What
it does mean, however, is
that the next practical steps
toward achieving this goal
in Europe seem highly pro-
blematical. To say nothing
of relations within the west

An Old Lesson
Gov. Wallace has been care
full to recommend against
violence and to urge that
there be none. But he has at
the same time sought to defy
legal court orders affecting
schools. He sent national
guardsmen to close school
doors which orderly processes
Of law have said should be
open. One can only surmise
what this means TO the men
whose recourse to law
defiance Is dynamite. One
wonders II the governor
really expects violent, law
less men to believe him, how
ever sincere he himself may
h" Ihen his troopers are re-
moved by the Federal Gov
ernment and the governor
then appeals TO the people to
carry on the fight.
This Is an old lesson.
When men In high places,
elective or private, fail to
give full and quick support TO
the processes Of law-the e n
they thereby lend encourage
ment TO those who want TO
take the law into their bloody
hands.
