Announcement has been made
that the annual Mothers March
of Dimes for 1868 will be con-
ducred by the sponsoring organ
ization, the Auxiliary TO the

American Legion, on We'd
nesday, Jan. % from $50 to

Mrs. James ]. Rogers is
chairman of the March of Dimes

serving as co-chairman.
Volunteers will be calling

the Mothers March and the aux
iliary asks that they be well
coined by the people.
A coffee hour for the can
vassers will be held following
the march at the new American
Legion Post Home on Glenwood
Avenue and Delaware Street.
The March of Dimes is held
because the fight against polio
is not yet won. IS million A
mericans are still not in
oculated against polio, and tho
usands ofpolio patients continue
to need help.
There are many other rea :
sons for marching. The March
of Dimes has proved its worth.
The salk vaccine was developed
because of its efforts, and this
story must be repeated with
other Gripping diseases.
One out of sixteen babies in
the United States is born with a
birth defect, and the key to pre-
vent and cure arthrits and
rheumatism, which now affiict
eleven million Americans, must
be found.
Funds are also vital for the
training of medical manpower
so desperately needed, for ply
sical therapists, nurses, doc
tors, and scientists.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY e. e. EDGAR

HUNT: The father Of
French p ainter Henri Tou-
louse-Lautrec was an ariSto-
crat who was a true sports
man.
He was devoted to his son.
Once, when young Henri was
i'll, his room was swarming
with flies, which caused him
much discomfort. His father,
infuriated by their presence,
was determined to get rid Of
them.
Angry as he was, however,
he could not bring himself to
use a fly swatter, against
which the flies would not have
a chance. Instead, sportsman
that he was, he fashioned a
tiny bow and tiny arrows and
spent hours at a stretch shoot
ing at them.

All, Wilderness!

The best news on the Wilderness
Bill is that Chairman Aspinan of the
House Interior Committee is in a con-
ciliatory mood. The formidable Colo
radoan, who at heart is known to favor
the preservation Of primitive lands, has
thus far differed with others on proce-
dural points. Now he is talking of q
compromise which could shake loose a
House bill to match that already passed
by the Senate.
The Wilderness Bill has had a
dismal history when, by rights, it should
have had the wholehearted support of
all the Congress It's purpose is clear;
it plays no angles for or against any,
body. 1t is national in scope and
interest It merely is intended to pre-
serve forever, or as long as future Con-
crosses deem proper, less than per cent
OF the country in its natural state.
One Of the first acts of the Senate
was to pass the bill, by an IS per cent
margin, for the second year. The Senate
is satisfied that no interests, whether
mining, grazing or lumber, will be
adversely affected. The proposal simply
calls for designating as wilderness be-
tween IS and As million acres already
Federally owned. Included are portions
of national forests, refugees and national
parks which still have not lost their
natural beauty.
Impressions that the land would be
subject to Executive Branch control are
fallacious. The President would be en-
powered to recommend, from time to
time, the addition Of new land or the
turn-back of old land to its original
purpose. But Congress always would
pass on such action.
This wonderful land in its original
state Of green hills and mountains,
sparkling streams and lakes, and ma
jeStic forests will not last forever. It's
days are numbered by fast-encroaching
civilization" unless man, represented
by Congress, acts to prevent the con-
struction of roads and buildings and the
blight Of commercialization. With it will
go the wildlife. The House Interior Com
mittee is in position to save 1t all.
We hope it acts expeditiously and wisely.

Indian Sign

Secretary Of Agriculture Freeman
has just completed an extensive tour of
Soviet farming. He needed this precisely
the way the Joint Chiefs of Staff need
a tour Of military prep schools or Sir
Laurence Olivier needs to study our own
Shakespeare-on-the-Mall The Soviet
farm problem is the oldest in the world:
how to get enough food out of the land
for all the people. Our own problem is
all our own: what to do with the
burgeoning SURPRISES that every year
threaten to burst our storage capacity.
In Moscow the other day the Secre-
tary presented Chairman Khrushchev
with an Indian peace pipe. The Chair
man, honest to fault, pointed out that
he didn't smoke and the Secretary tried
for weak recovery by mumbling that
the smoking should be symbolic.
Next time out, we hope Mr.. Freeman
does better He shouldn't offer an Indian
pipe to Khrushchev the non-smoker
But to Khrushchev the old agricultural
expert he might offer q sack of Indian
maize and best wishes for luck with
future surpluses.

Nozis and Freedom

Chief Murray has come under attack
for his refusal to permit the American
Nazi Party to stage "counter-demon-
stration" at the same time and in the
same place as the August % civil rights
demonstration here. His refusal, how
ever, is not only defensible but obligatory
upon him under his most basic RESPONSE
bility as peace officer.
Critics point out that the test of
our belief in freedom of speech comes
in our willingness to grant 1t to those
whose ideas we deSpise. This is true and
the American Nazi Party is peculiarly
well qualified to put us all to that test:
In the political forum or the market
place of ideas there are few ideas so
loathSome to Americans as those asSo-
ciated with Adolf Hitler. When so
many American lives and so much
American treasure were spent so short
time ago to check that lunacy, 1t is
appalling that contemporary American
youth can dig up the old Nazi intellec-
tual garbage and find ideals Of political
organization and personal behavior.
But the racists' proposed counter
demonstration" has nothing to do with
freedom Of speech. Permits presumably
would be issued on August q or August
20 or any other day. Deputy Chief Ho-
ward v. Covell has pointed out that
even on the 18th the Nazis are free to
protest as individuals. But a mass par
ade, with 100000 or more civil rights
demonstrators in town, would be ask
ing for trouble, for violence, bloodshed,
possibly deaths.
The classic American formula on
free speech states that no one has the
right to cry, "Fire" in a crowded thea
ter. The formula applies here. Chief
Murray's decision is prudent and just.

Not StoutIy Enough

AS one official has put it, our
national economy "has been rising
rather stoutly," and there is reason
to believe that it will continue to rise.
Among the good auguries are these: ~
The Labor Departments latest count
shows employment at a record breaking
total Of nearly II million jobs. And (2)
most corporations of consequence in
Guiding General Motors to spectacular
degree-have attained in the second
three months of 1853 the highest rate
Of profit for any quarter in the history
Of American business. More, many Of
them expect to do even better in the
remainder Of the year, barring, of
course, calamities like railroad strike.
Yet, roseate as the outlook may
be, 1t has in 1t dark spot that will
not out. This is the fact that the
unemployed, primarily because of the
great and unprecedented flow of young
people into the job market, continue to
number in the neighborhood of 4.8
million The figure represents Sc per
cent of the Nations present total labor
force, and 1t has remained virtually
unchanged for more than five years
past. What can be done about it2 Al
though there are no simple answers,
certain lines Of action seem both
obvious and imperative. One Of these,
as emphasized by Labor Secretary Wirtz,
must be a vigorous educational and
training program designed to equip
youthful job-seekers-particularly semi
literate or illiterate school dropouts-
for useful work. Beyond that, for expert
enced workers whose old occupations
have been taken over by attenuation,
there must be special retraining prof.
ects that will enable them to move into
new occupations with as little delay
and economic loss as possible.
Sorely needed as they are, however,
measures of this sort are not enough
in themselves to solve the problem Of
persistent large-scale joblessness in our
affluent society--a society which con-
stantly, and paradoxically, keeps on
setting new records Of high employ
ment What is required in addition, is
a faster greater rate Of growth in
our economy, which actually has not
been rising as stoutly as 1t should. The
growth must be large and steady enough
to make a sharp and permanent re-
duction in our current high rate Of
unemployment. True, this is something
more easily said than done. But there

China and a CEche

At the signing ceremonies in Mos
COW, Secretary of State Rusk has wisely
accomplished that the partial nuclear
test-ban treaty is no more than "a good
first step" on what is likely to be long,
hard journey to "a secure and peaceful
world"
This judgment, Of course, has been
expressed so often in recent dayS-by
so many prominent people on both sides
of the Iron Curtain-that it has already
become kind Of cliche. But it is cliche
worth keeping in mind as safeguard
against unwarranted euphoria or re-
Taxed vigilance In a world still full of
great danger. After all, in Mr.. Rusk's
words, the new treaty is strictly limited
and "does not end the threat of nucleaf
war;" -
Certainly, in that respect, the treaty
must be regarded as only the beginning
Of beginning on the unfinished bust
ness" Of establishing trustworthy and
lasting peace. Significantly enough, es-
sentially the same thought, the same
important and SOLDERING cliche, has been
voiced by the pact's two other Signers-
British Foreign Secretary Lord Home
and Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko.
It has been voiced, too, by Nikita Khru-
shchev, who has echoed President
Kennedy on the subject.
Nevertheless, despite everybody'S
repetitious emphasis on the first-step
nature Of the pact, there is an interest
Ing, and possibly significant, new air Of
cordiality circulating among the three
signatory powers. Mr.. Khrushchev and
his Soviet colleagues now are ali smiles
Tor nearly sol in their contacts with us
and the British, and simultaneously they
are at swords points with the Chinese
Communists. In fact, Moscow and Picking
apparently have become so enraged at
each other, and so estranged, that an
early severance Of their diplomatic re-
lationS and dissolution of their mill
tary alliance are by no means incon-
cetvable.
This possibility is supported by re-
ports that Soviet armed forces, espe-
cially those deployed In the eastern
regions along the borders with China,
are being indoctrinated with voluminous
and high-powered anti Chinese propa-
ganda Obviously, If Moscow Picking
break is really in the offing, history
may do somersault, and profoundly
far-reaching changes may take place
between the West and the Kremlin on
q host Of issues ranging all the way
from Berlin to Cuba, and far beyond in
al parts Of the globe.
Let us not forget, however, that the
test-ban pact, RuSsia's internal propa-
ganda Notwithstanding, is very small
thing in relation to the enormously diff
ficult task of building good and
enduring global peace. Clearly, there
can be no such peace until the Russians,
with or without the Chinese, sincerely
work with US to bring it into being.
