Promotion Bockfire

The administration is not having
much luck explaining why the Post
Office Department found it necessary
to denote three Negroes recently pro-
NOTED to supervisory jobs in the Dallas
Post Office. In fact, the reasons for
the demotionS make no more sense than
the procedure for the promotions did.
The promotions were product Of
the administrations equal employment
opportunity program, a meritoriouS
plan. If any place is ready for the pro-
grams application it would seem to be
the Dallas Post Office OF 1900 en-
ployeS, Is per cent are Negro. Yet, be-
fore the recent promotions, there never
had been a Negro supervisor.
The Post Office undertook to set
this situation right by deliberately
ignoring its own procedures for elevat-
ing employees according to promotion
register ranking. The highest ranking
Of the three Negroes on the register
was 58th. The 10 top-ranking workers
promptly sued.
Now postal officials say the promo

Argentine Grab

AS sovereign land, Argentina has
every right to be as foolhardy as 1t
seems to be in annulling its contracts
with United States and other foreign
oil companies. 1t has every right, too,
to take over the affected properties
and nationalize them, even though
such action is likely to be hurtful to
the country in the long run.
But Argentina, despite its sovereign
privileges, has no right whatever to
do this unless it intends to offer prompt
and just compensation to all the COM
panieS involved. AS to that, President
lila and some of his colleagues in
BuenoS Aires have been far from re-
assuring. They have aSSailed the con-
tracts as having been illegal" from
the start, and they have intimated that
there will be precious little indemnifi-
cation for the seized properties. If that
proves to be the case, then the lila
regime will be guilty of kind of in
ternational plundering rather like Fidel
CaStro'S in Cuba.
Obviously, as numerous members
of Congress have been quick to en-
phaSlze, any such conduct (Peru is on
a similar courSe) should be answered,
despite Argentine warnings against it,
with a total cutoff of our country's
economic aid to Argentina. This aid
now amounts to almost $50 million a
year. Certainly its continuation would
be monumental absurdity If the lila
government (there is still possibility,
as President Kennedy and others hope,
that the issue will be resolved salts
factorily) simply confiScated the oil
companies without adequately indem-
nifying them in a fair and honest
measure.
Not only Argentina is involved here
The whole Inter- American Alliance for
Progress is involved. If the lila regime
fails to offer just compensation for its
grab, and if the PeruvianS follow suit,
the alliance, which is in grave trouble
already, will almost surely fall flat on
it's face. And deservedly so.
