Of Sabin oral vaccine.
That would seem to be q large
number, but it must be remembered
that all did not have the doses required
for complete immunization. There are
still many gaps to be plugged before
the final victory is celebrated. For even
one case Of polio year is one too many.
Only recently Surgeon General Luther
L. Terry pointed to one Of the more
serious gaps: Less than so per cent of
preschool-age children 1.-THE vulnerable
1-5-year-olds) are being immunized.
Many communities still lack efficient
vaccination programs.
Even so, the first 10 years of polio
vaccine have been great ones, so great
that the former National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis (now simply The
National Foundation) is broadening its
work to other virus diseases. But the
next 10 years could be even greater,
could wipe out polio altogether. Whether
this happens is strictly up to the public,
which has been offered a priceless boon,
and needs only to ask to receive 1t.

There is distressing evidence that
the administration in Havana, that
isis not managing the news, or at least
not very well. This could be confusing,
II not worse, to Cuban press that
ordinarily is secure from freedom, and
could lead to very heady ideas about
the public's right not to know the truth.
What happened in Havana and
what was reported in Paris all seemed
very interesting at first. 1t was, in short,
that Fidel Castro had told an editor
OF lie Monde Of Paris that he would
have boxed the ears" Of Nikita Khru-
shchev II the latter had shown up in
Havana after the missile crisis last
fall, that he doesn't think much of
satellites that applaud every time Mos
COW makes decision, and that, among
other things, he is not making common
cause with Mr.. Khrushchev in a war
on abstract painting.
When lie Monde hit the streets with
all this, Havana had to make a quick
move to get off the spot. Denials, clari-
fications and explanations boiled down
to the trusty old defense of claiming
that Fidel had been misquoted and that
the whole affair is part of a plot by
"reactionary and pro-imperialist ele-
ments interested in prejudicing the in
destructible friendship" between Cuba
and the Soviet Union. II lack Of man
agement allows an editor Of lie Monde
to learn such things about Mr.. Castro's
independence Of spirit, 1t should at least
be matched by more imaginative ex-
PLANTATION and correction.

Dumping Ground

Through its assiduous determination
over long period Of years to avoid the
enactment OF compulsory automobile
inspection law, the Maryland Legislature
has managed to earn for that State the
label Of dumping ground" for cars
which could not pass inspections In other
Jurisdictions. Now, thanks to inept
leadership and q dont-give-a-damn
attitude, that label will stick for at least
two more years-at a cost OF still more
needlessly lost lives.
So now the auto-inspection contro-
versy has been consigned once again to
the Legislative Advisory Council for a
study" which is totally unnecessary
because the issues already have been
studied innumerable times in the past.
In final gesture OF futility, moreover,
a special subcommittee OF the Legisla-
ture has suggested that some kind OF
"spot-check" system OF inspection by
State police might be instituted. We
doubt that anything will come OF this
suggestion, and, II not, no one will be
the loser. Maryland needs a compulsory,
State-supervised auto inspection pro-
gram which applies to all vehicles-and
nothing less.

The Tide of Monpower'

President Kennedy was doing much
more than making another appeal for
tax reduction in his Chicago address
on Saturday. He was, in effect, pack
ing into one rather brief speech the
human and statistical dimensions Of
the Nations major domestic challenge
and the Illustrations which already have
attended the New Frontier efforts to
meet it.
1t is, in short, the challenge of
unemployment NOT in the familiar
background Of recession, but in a time
Of good and even improving business.
There has, in fact, come to be a new
word for this economic ailment, namely,
Unemployment" Mr.. Kennedy cited
some figures in Chicago that highlight
this condition of Unemployment of
people losing jobs because of improved
productive methods, not because busi-
ness Is in slump.
During the last six years." the
President pointed out, "this nation in
creased its manufacturing output by
nearly 20 per cent, but 1t did so with
100000 fewer production workers.
Since the second world war, the real
output of the private economy has risen
81 per cent, with only per cent raise
in man-hours." Industry after industry
steel, autos, coal and numerous others
that are the big basic employers-can
provide statistics of the same nature.
Meanwhile, as our population grows,
the President expressed understandable
concern about "the tide Of manpower"
that is coming of working age. Man.
power, particularly when educated and
skilled, is one Of the greatest economic
resources available to any nation. But
it is, perhaps, in our country today
coming dangerously close to what Mr..
Kennedy called "a burden that should
be a blessing, liability that could be
an asset" The problem does indeed de-
mand the greatest effort from Govern
ment, industry and labor if this decade
OF the 1905 is not to be tragically

EkAkb1Ds
French President de
Gaulle. according to a cur
rent rumor. sees signs of a
thaw.
II have an uncomfortable
feeling" he Is supposed to
have said. recently, shat the
British are about to forgive
me-"
The signs Of spring are
still as tenuous as the un-
certain green Of the willow
trees. but they are welcome
for all that. The freeze has
been q long one. And this
has been the winter Of just
about everybody's discon-
tent.
1t will not end overnight.
The French, as Gen. de
Gaulle implied, are not going
to be forgiven easily, partic-
ularly II forgiveness implies
the immediate reopening Of
debate over Britain's entry
into Europe which brought
on the freeze in the first
place.
a First Effort Fails
Thus the first concerted
effort to get diplomatic ma
chinery moving again has
failed.
The meeting Of the foreign
ministers of the Western
European Union, which was
to have taken place in Bonn
at the end Of this month, has
now been adjourned. 1t would
have been the first time since
Brussels that Britain's Lord
Home met with his European
colleagues. Hopefully, the
British have looked on the
WEU as q means Of main
tanning their links" with
Europe until the Common
Market question can be
worked out.
The ministers meeting was
canceled-it will now take
place on the ambassadorial
level only-because OF the
failure to agree on what to
talk about. The French were
willing to come but we're not
willing to resume an argu-
ment which they felt would
settle nothing.
The British apparently
agreed. But other members Of
the European group felt that
a meeting which deliberately
ignored the main problem
would be pointless.
Today, therefore. the
British press Is unhappily
accusing the French Of re-
jecting their proffered olive
branch. They may be right
but the important thing per-
haps is that the olive branch
exists. In due course, 1t very
probably will be proffered
again.
AS British Ambassador Sir
Pierson Dixon explained TO
French Foreign Minister
COVE de Murville last week,
the British accept their ex-
clusion from the Common
Market for the time being
and are not interested in
pursuing any vendetta against
France.

that Britain sincerely was

Anglo-French relations and

WATCHING THE WORLD
Stevenson May Break the Ice
By CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star

with France as well as the
rest Of Western Europe.
This marks, one may hope,
an end to the post-Brussels
phase during which it has
sometimes seemed that the
British were determined to
make the worst of a bad sit
uation.
A chorus Of inspired cross
channel invective and petty
diplomatic insults only served
to deepen the "ferocious ST.
lence" Of Paris. AS someone
put 1t: IF the British would
only stop acting like French
men and the French stopped
pretending they we're English
something might be done"
One may hope also that
what applies to the British
may also apply to the United
States.
The reaction in Washing
ton since Brussels has been
more restrained, but the
freeze has been Just as deep.
Until very recently diplomatic
contacts with the French
were positively glacial and
no inclination on either side
for improvement in the stu
alton could be discerned.
In this case Adlai e.
Stevenson may we'll turn out
to be the harbinger Of better
times to come. Mr.. Steven
sons mission to Europe, 1t
now seems, is by no means
confined to United Nations
business.
His contacts with top off,
Gals Of the French govern
ment have produced the most
hopeful results observed in
many months. On the French
side at least there is a very
real interest in the idea Of a
meeting between Mr.. Steven
son and Gen. de Gaulle.
The Ideal Choice
Ironic as it may seem, the
United States representative
to what Gen. de Gaulle refers
to- contemptuously as the
"thingamajig," is in fact the
ideal person to break the ice.
For one thing Gen. de
Gaulle has a respect and adj
miration for Mr.. Stevenson
which he does not bestow on
all New Frontiersmen. For
another, Mr.. Stevenson. hav-
ing no direct responsible
ity for the policies of which
Gen. de Gaulle disapproves so
heartily is in a far better
position to discuss these diff
ferences calmly and construc-
lively than the more COM
mitted officials of the Ken
nedy administration.
And quite certainly what
is needed at this point is calm
and constructive discussion.
The events Of the winter
the meeting at Nassau, the
famous January press con-
ference, the debacle at Brus-
sels-brought into the open
a number Of serious and
longstanding differences that
threaten the future Of the
Atlantic Alliance.
These differences cannot
be swept under the rug. They
will not yield either to SUI
len silence or historical Vi
tuperation. Now that the
winter has run its course.
the time for a more hopeful
approach has come.

Soviet Formino

In his letter, c. c. Mkt
foroff tries to explain that
the ills Of Soviet farming
are not ills at all, and that
the apparent inefficiency is
"a way Of life" of Soviet
peasantry which prefers
country life to living in cities.
This explanation, however,
does not change the fact that
capitalistic America of free
enterprise produces five
times more per capita Of
farming population than the
socialistic, regimented USSR.
The actual way Of life" Of
the Soviet peasantry Is all but
enjoyable. Members of col
lectivized farms have not the
slightest freedom of action
and decision even in purely
technical farming matters.
They are ordered by the
Party what and when to sow,
what quantities of crops and
animal husbandry products to
deliver to the State, at prices
most often under the pro-
duction prices-fixed by the
Party. Day work often is sup
plemented by night work. In
come Of kolkhozniks is miser-
ably low. Despite this, a large
part Of income is taken by the
overstaffed, and very often
incompetent kolkholz admin
istration.
The overstaffed state farms
-sovkhozes-had not ito be
built to begin with" AS a
rule, they were established
on large estates which earlier
belonged to Russian aristoc-
racy. Despite heavy capital
investments on the part Of
the Soviet government, the
sovkhozes, supposed to be q
kind Of universities" to kol-
kozniks. operate in the ma
jority at a loss. Kolkhozniks,
on the other hand, had to pay
even for the machinery they
were forced to accept after
the machine tractor-stations
were liquidated several years
ago.
Adverse climatic condi-
tions2 This is contributed by
the situation in the Soviet
occupied Baltic States, Es-
tonia. Latvia and Lithuania,
for instance. Since the occu-
patton, % years ago the geo.
graphic factor has not
changed (they still are 10
Gated north Of Latitude 49).
However. a change took place
m their economic structure,
since the national economy
Of these States was forcibly
socialized. AS a result, sowing
areas in the Baltic region
have decreased by is per
cent and grain crops even by
IS per cent.
That socialized agriculture
deprives the peasantry OF the
incentive and stimulus TO pro-
duce more is again proven by
the status Of animal hus-
bandry in the three Baltic
countries.
IF we take the production
OF meat and milk In all pro-
duction groups lie. kolkhozes
and sovkhozes which TIL 959s

vate plots which occupy So

hozes In the 1851 production
