Foreiqn Service Must

Currently an applicant Tor
a position in the Foreign
Service reserve, disagree
with Leon j. Steck that it is
unwise for the United States
Foreign Service to demand
language fluency of its pro-
spective officers.
1t Is not as difficult to
learn a language as Mr.. Steck
seems to believe, and a per-
son interested in making a
career of work overseas
should certainly be willing to
make the effort required. A
man who spends his own time
learning a language is clearly
of value to the State Depart
ment. The Foreign Service
Institute has special Ian
guage-teaching programs for
its personnel, and for years
prospective officers have re-
ceived a five-point credit on
their written examinations
for demonstrating language
fluency. In the State Depart
ment's eyes-and mine-part
of being a highly qualified"
Foreign Service applicant is
having a language. 1t be-
hooves a person who is anX-
ious about stiff competition
from other applicants to
learn a language.
Language fluency Is not a
useless skill for those who do
not make the grade with the
Foreign Service. In addition
to the obvious personal cul-
tural benefits he derives, the
linguist can find employ
ment-often highly paid en-
ployment-in a host of Gov
ernment agencies. interna-
tional organizations, schools
and private industries.
Foreign language fluency is
a must for Foreign Service
officers. Though it is true
that many foreigners speak
English, Foreign Service Off
GERS should not have to de-
pend upon foreigners being
more broadly educated than
they are.
While foreigners may not
resent mono-lingual Ameri-
cans, they clearly are de-
lighted by Americans who
can speak their language. An
American overseas can truly
immerse himself in the cul-
ture Of his host country II
he can talk and joke with
the local people, all but a few
of whom are most unlikely
to have learned English. Ger
tainly the Foreign Service
officer who is capable of do
ing this is better able to in
form his Government of de-
velopments among a foreign
people than one whose con-
tact with the people is linn
tied to teas with the educated
class and delayed transla-
tions of the native press.
One might argue that the
State Department should
train its officers in languages
after picking them. Appar-
emily, however, there are
enough young Americans
around today to fill State
Department vacancies who
are already fluent linguists.

Woes of Taxes

There is much serious dis
cussion concerning reductions
of Federal income taxes. How
ever, l have not seen any in
dication of awareness as to
the permanent effects on fu-
ture Federal Government rev.
enue brought about by such
reductions.
The Federal Government
has pre- : empted the field of
income taxes. State and local
governments occupy a re-
moved secondary position in
this field of taxation. It is
in the fields of general sales
and property taxes that the
State and local governments
hold predominance.
Federal income taxes are so
high at present that 1t is i'm
practical for State and local
governments to further ex-
ploit this form of taxation,
except on very limited levels.
But States and local govern
mentS are in a constant search
for increased revenues and it
would not be surprising to
see State and local govern
ments pick up what the Fed
eral Government reduced in
taxes.
If the Federal Government
wishes to retain its pre-
empted position in the field
of income taxes, 1t must set
conditions that would make it
impractical for State and
local governments to exploit
this form of taxation. There
is a limit on income taxes,
namely the total income it
self. Should the Federal Gov
ernment reduce its income
taxes and, in turn, State or
local governments propor-
tionately raise their income
taxes, 1t would become an un-
bearable situation if at a fu-
ture time the Federal Gov
ernment increased it's income
taxes to the former level.
A. E. TOmkin.
1t was gratifying to note
that District officials have
made an analysis of the pro-
posal to increase taxes on
real estate and incomes OF
D. C. residents. 1t was stated
that families living in the
District would be carrying a
higher tax burden than their
neighbors.
OF course, to increase tax
on real estate and local in
comes is the quickest and easi-
est way to secure the desired
revenue. Here again the in
crease is passed on to the
consumer whose income is al
ready taxed beyond limit.
d. c. residents have no
redress. They can be taxed
without congressional repre-
sentation.

End BeIGgerence'

There is no safety in
continued belligerence, and
we had better learn it," said
Senator Joseph S. Clark,
after having spent two weeks
in Geneva last December
with United States nuclear
test ban negotiators. Sena-
tor Clark also expressed be-
lief that an agreement is
possible for complete and
general disarmament in the
1905; and he further agreed
with President Kennedy that
I'VE must negotiate a last
ing peace"
1t is our sincere wish that
all policymakers in this
country would realize that
the free world" and the
Communist countries alike
must increasingly accept
international law as a means
of settling problems rather
than talk of increased
weaponry and threats. This,
rather than fear of at
tack and counterattack, will
contribute to a lesSening of
world tensions.
On this basis, 1t does not
seem to us that President
Kennedy's address to the re-
leased prisoners and Cuban
freedom fighters in Miami
on December 20 contributed
to the pattern of peaceful
coexistence."
Granted our sympathy
with the prisoners now back
on United States soil;
granted our sincere wish to
see the Cubans freed from
a government that appears
to us tyrannical and ire
sponsible; granted our un-
derstandable desire for COM
patible neighbors-commentS
from our President indicating
encouragement to the disil-
lusioned Cuban exileS in their
aspirations cannot contribute
toward an atmosphere that
would bring closer the hopes
of all mankind expressed by
Senator Clark - an end to
belligerence.

THE POLITICAL MILL
The March of Executive Power
By GOULD LINCOLN

drew Jackson and Theodore
Roosevelt - and 1t could Ia
done again.
The call for change In the
Senate rules relating to clos
ing of debate comes from
many so-called pressure
groups, groups which have
special ends to be served.
They believe that they can
get what they want from the
Federal Government - legis-
lation, money through appro-
priation and what have you
- If they can put an end
to so-called unlimited debate
in the Senate. The Senate
now has a cloture rule which
requires a two-thirds vote to
bring debate on a measure to
an end, thereby permitting a
vote Of that body. President
Kennedy is being urged to
get be hind proposals to
strengthen this rule, either by
requiring only a three -fifths
vote to end debate or by a
majority vote. Such a change
in Senate procedure, particu-
larly If a majority vote could
close debate, would be a dras-
tic change. 1t could take
away powers now exercised by
the individual Senator. 1t
could make it possible for a
majority to run rough-shod
over a minority in that body.
1t could make the Senate
merely another rubber stamp
for the Chief Executive.
Call From Both Sides
This call upon the Presi-
dent to use his influence to
bring about majority or
three-fifths cloture in the
Senate comes from Republi-
can and Democratic Senators
alike. What they would like
him to do is to come out
flatly, as he did in the fight
for a packed" House Rules
Committee, in a statement
favoring majority cloture.
One of the principal reasons
for this demand at this par
ticular time is the pressure
for added civil rights legisla-
ton. This kind of legislation
will be strongly resisted by
Senators - Democrats from
the South - and using the
platoon system, this group of
Senators could hold out in
definitely in a filibuster.
The leader of the group,
Senator Richard Russell of
Georgia, already has given
notice that it will fight hard
and long against strengthen
ing of the cloture rule. But
many other issues besides
that of civil rights will be
affected by a majority clo-
ture rule in the Senate. La
Dor legislation, for example,
tax legislation and appro-
priations of vast sums of
money. And some Of the peo-
pie now shouting for major
ity cloture in the future could
wish they never asked for it.
If majority cloture is
adopted, the Senate will find
itself a different body. 1t
could become Just another cog
in the wheel of Executive
control.

President Kennedy is being
urged to get into the fight
to curb the traditional free
dom of debate" rule in the
Senate which makes filibus-
ters by a minority possible.
He already has used his in
fluence to help pack" the
House Rules Committee so as
to get his legislative propos-
ais more promptly before the
House for action. In effect,
he is being urged to take over
the running of Congress
through changes in its rules
of procedure. It's a tempting
morsel, designed to give him
the whip hand. 1t has been
argued in many quarters that
the President must step in,
that the Congress is not able
to take care of itself; that
its rules of procedure are ar
chaic in these days when
prompter action must be had.
This is a serious question.
1t raises q constitutional
problem The Legislative
branch, the Executive branch
and the Judicial branch of
the United States Govern
ment are, under the funda-
mental law, independent,
each with its specific duties
and responsibilities. TIL e
President may propose legis-
lation, but the Congress
makes the laws. Indeed, i'm
portant legislation in tn e
past has originated on Cap
itol Hill, rather than in the
White House. But in these
later days of the Republic a
feeling has grown up that all
important legislation is to
come from the Chief Execu-
tive; that he should have his
list of must bills" before
Congress, and that they
should be put through both
Senate and House as quickly
as possible, no matter what
particularly what a sizeable
minority may feel about any
of these bills. All of this is
marching toward one man
government. He does not
have to be a man on a horse
- just a man in the White
House.
The TwO-term Limit
One step toward halting
such advance in one man
power was the adoption by
Congress and the States of
a constitutional amendment
limiting a President to two
consecutive terms of four
years each. 1t was put
through after one man - the
late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt - had been four
times elected Chief Executive.
Had his health been better,
he might have been reelected
for a fifth term. This step
was taken deliberately and
neither former President Eli
senhower nor President John
F. Kennedy has urged repeal
of the two-term amendment.
1t is possible for a President
who has served two terms to
use his influence to select
his successor, as was done by
two strong Presidents - An

Army Assigns Insects to Mission
By THOMAS R. HENRY

The Army will have a bug
corps"
Its soldiers will be insects
whose job will be detection
and warning against various
biological agents which
might be used by an enemy
to produce disease infection
in troops. Some bugs seem
ideally fitted for the job.
Nature" says an Army re-
port just issued, "has en-
dowed living organisms with
a diversity of biological de-
lection systems necessary to
their survival. Mans five
senses are examples but are
relatively insensitive. Many
other organisms have sense
organs whose sense organ
capabilities far exceed those
of man and the most sensi-
tive chemical and physical
receptors devised by man.
Insects in particular have
extremely sensitive receptors
for odors. Their olfactory Or
gans are located in parts Of
their legs. These receptors,
responding to air borne
chemical particles that carry
odor. transmit electrical i'm
pulses through the insects
nervous system. Odors repel-
liant to the insect produce a
protective response. Others

For example. among the
order of insects consisting Of
butterflies and moths, many
species are dependent upon
wind-borne female sex odors
TO stimulate mating. These
odors can be detected by the
male in concentrations of one
part in a million or less over
considerable distances. One
species OF moth is known to
have been attracted from a
distance OF almost seven
miles"
Receptors OF some species,

some micro-organisms, such
as are responsible for various

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

AGREEMENT: French h
composer Claude Debussy
was painfully shy. When De-
busy conceived the idea of
making an opera out of the
play ''Pelleas ct Melisande,"
he was too shy to broach the
subject to the author, Maurice
Maeterlinck.
He asked a mutual friend
to accompany him when he
called on Maeterlinck to OBJ
tain the latter's permission.
The friend soon realized that
he would have to do the talk
ing, as DebusSy became
tongue-tied in the presence Of
the famous dramatist.
After a few moments, it
became apparent that Maeter-
linck was just as shy as De-
busy. Scarcely a word passed
between the two. The friend
had to talk for both. He asked
for permission in Debussy's
name and granted it in
Maeterlinck's. Understand
ably, negotiations proceeded
smoothly and no hitch de-
veloped.
