Soviet Premier Believed To Have Won

Did You Get An Award Today?

ogists and anthropologists
may argue that the phenom-
enon is a direct expression Of
the ancient, ineradicable hui
man instinct to be different

stinct has always been at war
with the contrary instinct to
be just like everybody else,
and / suspect that ravaging
awardism reflects this second
instinct. The only way to be
different and distinct in
America today is to possess
no formal awards or distinc-
tons of any kind, whatso-

impermanent.
1t is possible that the

President Kennedy, in his
speech at American Univer-
sity yesterday, made q sig
nificant differentiation be-
tween the Soviet government
and its people. This is the
first time a recognition Of the
peaceful aspirations Of the
Russian people themselves
has been expressed by him In
such a clear-cut way.
In a sense, Mr.. Kennedy is
following the strategy of pre-
vious Presidents. The pur-
pose. of course. is to show the
Russian people that basically
the American people are not
hostile to them but merely
differ from them in their
understanding Of the proc
esses by which real freedom
in the world can be obtained.
Mr.. Kennedy. for instance,
said:
mo government or social
system is so evil that its peo-
pie must be considered as
lacking in virtue. AS Ameri-
cans, we find communism
profoundly repugnant as a
negation Of personal freedom
and dignity. But we can still
hail the Russian people for
their many achievements
in science and space, in eco
nomic and industrial growth,
in culture and in acts Of
courage" a.
Somewhat the same phi
losophy was expressed by the
late Pope John in his famous
encyclical of a few weeks ago
which aroused worldwide
attention. The idea was first
preached by President Wood
row Wilson in his war mes
sage to Congress in 1917,
when he said specifically that
the American people had no
quarrel with the German
people but only with the
Kaiser's government.
Realizing, to be sure, that
many persons in the world
are skeptical Of the good
faith of the Soviet govern
ment in keeping treaties, Mr..

To change the metaphor,
the President must be ham
kering for a set Of retrorock-
cts that can slow down the
free-floating process, which
moves on in what is now a
condition of total weightless-
less; but they will have to
provide most powerful count
ter-thrust because the booster
that put Gresham's Law into
social orbit is Parkinson's Law
as applied to the Awards and
Emoluments sector of the So
ciety.. Parkinson's Law in its
original and simpler meaning
established that in any given
office or agency work will in
crease in direct ratio to the
increase in the number of
workers and the amount Of
time on their hands.
As applied to the social Sec
tor under scrutiny here, P's
Law establishes that awards
will increase in direct ratio.
not to the number Of works of
excellence created. but to the
number Of people engaged
in the field of work, whether
it be literature, Journalism,
films, TV, drum majoretting,
baby sitting or eel-pickling.
(Another variation Of this
sub-law proves that the
number Of unions in these
fields and related fields, such
as the film industry, also will
increase in direct relation to
the number Of unemployableS
in each field-that is, those,
with both time and personal
motivation for nurturing said
unions. But I am over-egg-
ing the pudding, as the Brit
ish say, and see no gain in
further distraction of the
reader.)

Funcies on Todoy's Penchont For Scrolls
Is Set OFT by Idea of an Honors List
ERIC SEVAREID

There are rumors around
that the President contem-
plates an annual "honors
list" in the British style, for
citizens who have done, said
or made something out Of the
ordinary. 1t is conceivable
that the plan has been held
up for want Of a nickname
for the award. TONY"
Emmy" and oscar" are
already spoken for; and while
the Attorney General would
doubtless choose the winners,
design the medal and fasten
1t upon the lucky lapels, "a
Bobby" would probably come
to be known in the vulgate
as Bobby Pin," and this
would scarcely do.
Theories differ as to the
presidential m otivation.
Theory A holds that he thinks
the Government now lacks
sufficient means Of recogniz-
ing those citizens who have
not asked what their country
could do for them but vice
versa, and have found an
answer. My own inclination
is towards Theory B-that
in erecting a superstructure
over the present infrastruc-
ture Of awards in this coun-
try he seeks to repeal Gresh-
ans Law, an action that
would go some considerable
distance towards repeating
ParkinSon's Law in this field.
For some time now, Ores
hams Law has been operat-
ing with wild abandon bad
honorary degrees, scrolls,
plaques, medals and gilt
painted zinc trophies have
been driving out the good
ones exactly as celebrity"
has been driving out the pre-
cious word fame" and as

Saints have been taking over

Modern Coal Mine
Ready For Operation

Coal mining on a large scale in
a deep mine returned to Henry
w. Va, just west of Bayard, in
Grant county, this week.
The Alpine Coal Company will
operate a large processing plant
and the mine, which will be the
most modern one of its kind in the
nation.
First coal was expected to be
shipped Friday, according to Jo-
seph McQuade, senior vice presi-
dent of Maust Coal and Coke, of
New York, the parent company.
McQuade said the payroll for
the 200 employees will be about So
million annually. In addition the
firm will purchase in this section
about 81 million in supplies and
equipment annually. The plan is
to ship two ordinary trainloads of
coal daily to eastern utility mar
ketS.
President of the company is Rob-
crt E. Wooters, former Oakland
resident, who was with Western
Maryland Railway for some years.
There are three important fea-
lures of the operation. One is the
belt conveyor system that begins
at the heading inside the mine,
moves the coal through the pro-
cessing plant and into storage. An
other is the type of silo used for
storage. These are IS feet in di-
ameter, made of concrete and capa-
BILE of holding 10000 tons of coal.
There are three of them.
Inside the mine, electrically
driven rubber tired "buggies" move
from the seam of coal being cut
by mining machines back and forth
to the conveyor. AS the digging
proceeds the conveyor is extended.
The coal then is moved over the
belt outside the mine, then up an
other conveyor into the raw coal
.SilO. The coal is then transported
into the washer, where it is water
borne, then separated Or graded
into two products, a better and
best classification. The pieces of
coal, all one size, then move by
conveyor into storage silos along
side the railroad track which has
been built to the plant by the West
ern Maryland.
Another belt mechanism takes
the coal from the silos into the
hoppers at the rate of 1,4OO tons
an hour. The company expects to
produce $4,000 tons of coal a day,
working three shifts. The head
ings have been developed into the
Bakerstown seam 400 feet from
the mine mouth McQuade said
the seam being mined has enough
coal in it to provide a supply for
many years.
