When President Kennedy
Aelivered his state-of the
Union message Just a year
ago. he told the American
people he was Submitting
for fiscal 1868 a balanced
Federal budget" A few days
later he sent Congress a bud
get showing there would be a
surplus of $500 million for
the fiscal year beginning July
/, 1862, and ending June 80,
1868. Actually the figure Off
cially indicated now for that
same year is a deficit of $8.8
billion. This is a mistake of
$9.3 billion.
What assurance does the
country have that another
mistake isn't in the offing?
The President in his state
of-the- Union message earlier
this week frankly predicted in
general terms that there
would be a deficit for the two
fiscal years 1868 and 1864.
How are the people to know
the extent of the deficit If
such a gross error as was
made in January a year ago
doesn't get corrected for
many months thereafter?
1t so happens that econo-
mists were quite sure early in
1862 that the Presidents pre-
diction about fiscal year 1868
was wrong, but not until after
the congressional elections in
November were the official
figures revising the January
estimate given out. The ex-
cuSe for the delay was that
Congress was still in session
and might change the appro-
priations. But there was no
reason why the Government
couldn't have issued revised
figures as early as August,
1862, when it could have con-
ceded the possibility of a
slight increase in the deficit.
The people at least would
have been told that the $500
million surplus was a myth"

There is a growing conviction

George Edwards, the kind
ly and Scholarly-looking man
who is the able and humane
police commissioner Of De-
troit, had a Christmas card
from his son and daughter
in-law, Andrew and Kitty.
They are Peace Corps teach
ers in a small, isolated school
in the Cameroons. The COM
missioner UNDERSTANDABLE has
an immense pride in them.
He carries the card with him
and now and then takes it
out to read for his own in
spiration or to show to an
understanding friend.
The two young teachers,
whose arrival at the African
teacher training school
raised the faculty-total from
two to four, wrote the ines
sage" on their homemade
card. 1t Is in the form of an
imaginary statement by a
student in the school, but II
is based on actual discussions
with pupils who knew little
or nothing Of this country
until the two young Ameri-
cans arrived. The card from
the far-distant school reads:
"You say the problem is
surplus food,
But my child suffers from
malnutrition.
You say the problem is med
ical care for the aged,
But 40 per cent OF our chill
dren die before they are
five.
You say the problem is
automation.
Eut I don't know what the
word meanss
You say the problem is liv-
ing together,
] say the problem is living.
But tell me me about America,
And when you finish -
explain Christmas"
The message OF the card is
a not-too-subtle protest from
two young Americans who

Design and Operation Of information
Systems or Centers

The next step In the growth Of DOC INC
came about rather logically through application Of
its RAD and consultation kn0w-how to the prob
lens Of designing complete information handling
systems ans operating information centeB.
The company found itself receiving more and
more requests TO make use Of its theoretical and
consulting background In designing practical types
Of information systems for particular needs. In
many cases. after the system was designed and
tested, DOC INC was also asked TO manage and
operate the system or center.
At times. this type Of work has involved only
a dozen or more people on a program other
times an operation might combine scores Of SCI
entists, engineers and technicians as well as man.
ual, mechanical and electronic techniques. high

ton specialists apply their technical background
to wide range Of d0cumentation, computer and

Paris has taken o. dim view Of
Bonn's decision to work with the United
States on producing a new tank Of
advanced design in armor, mobility,
gunnery, etc. Indeed, according to the
New York Herald Tribune, the De Gaulle
government has sent note "tartly"
telling the Adenauer regime that the
decision hardly seems In keeping with
last January's Franco-German treaty,
which provides for joint development
and Standardization of military equip
ment."
President de Gaulle undoubtedly is
sensitive, too, about yet another aspect
of the situation-namely, that Bonn,
without consulting him, has indicated
its readiness to subscribe to the limited
Anglo American-Soviet teSt-ban pact,
which he declines to accept at this time.
Nevertheless the fact Is that nothing in
the Hedging Franco German treaty Of
cooperation debars West Germany
either from acceding to the nuclear ban
or from joining our country in such
projects as developing new tank. Ac-
tually, as agreed upon in Bonn during
Defense Secretary McNamara's recent
visit there, the tank-building program
represents only relatively small part
of an arrangement under which the free
Germans, over the next two years, will
place with our country military orders
valued at well over 81 billion.
Wholly apart from mutual defense
within the framework Of NATO, this is
an arrangement that promises to help
ease our country's serious balance-of-
payments problem and thus check the
potentially dangerous drain on our gold
reserves. General de Gaulle may be
miffed by the whole business, but he
must surely understand-if he gives the
matter more than second thought
that our agreement with Bonn is a
mutually advantageous one, not only
for the United States and West Ger
many, but also, in the long run, for
France and the entire Atlantic COM
munity.

Even though he was born In New

gansett Bay, Oliver La Farge's interest

Arizona.

Gated away the kinship this descendant

straight, black hair even gave him the

much to better the lot of the minority

Prince Edward Schools

It may be that the decision by
the Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals in
the Prince Edward case means that the
Fourteenth Amendment cannot be in
voked to compel reopening Of the public
schools in that Virginia county. Even
If this is correct, however, the resulting
situation is no less intolerable than that
which has prevailed in the past.
The situation briefly is that some
1,400 Negro children in Prince Edward
have gone four years without any for
NAL education. True, assistance In open
ing colored private schools, such as
those operating for white children, has
been offered and refused, presumably
to preserve a legal point. This does not
alter the fact, however, that whole
generation is growing up innocent Of
any formal education, and neither
Prince Edward nor Virginia will escape
the consequences il this is permitted to
continue.
Thus, whatever, the constitutional
sweep Of the 2-to-1 ruling by the appel
late court, the urgent and compelling
need Is TO get schools operating IN the
county for Negroes.
The Virginia constitution states that
It Is the duty Of the Legislature to
maintain an efficient public school
system In the State. Again, the precise
meaning of this has never been spelled
out. There is a case pending in the
Virginia Supreme Court Of Appeals, how
ever, which will be decided this fall and
which should bring clear-cut ruling
on the point.
For our part, we hope that Virginia's
highest court goes right to the heart
Of this matter and requires the Legtsla-
ture to open a public school system in
Prince Edward. If public schools can
be closed in one county they can be
closed in others. And in such event
what becomes of that efficient" public
school system which the State consti-
tuition commands?

The Wall, Aged Two

TWO years ago today they began
building the thing, and soon 1t was all
the way up-by far the ugliest piece of
architecture to be found anywhere in
the world. Berlin's Wall, indeed, scarcely
needs any description at this stage.
Everybody knows about 1t, everybody on
both sides OF the Iron Curtain, and no
one can deny that 1t is a stupendous, a
matchmaking monument to both the
failure and the evil Of Red totalitar-
ianism.
We need only to keep in mind few
salient facts. Literally millions Of East
Germans had fled to freedom in West
Germany before the Ulbricht regime,
acting on orders from the Kremlin, built
The Wall to stop the constant outflow
of men, women and children in search
Of liberty, in search of unregimented
opportunity, in search of fresh air for
the human spirit. Well, the terrible edi-
flee of cinder blocks and barbed wire
and mine fields and trigger-happy
border guards has succeeded up to
point. But not completely, not by long
shot. Although scores have been riddled
to death trying to escape, over $4,000
East Germans-including soldiers and
policemen supposed to prevent such
things-have crashed through the bar
rier successfully.
The obvious is obvious enough, SO
let US not labor 1t. Escapes TO one side,
The Wall in Berlin stands there, dis
gustingly, gruesomely, almost cbscenely,
as a devastating commentary on the
nature not only OF the puppet German
regime, but also Of the Kremlin. This is
a reality that ought not to be minimized

Pow Ther,-ond Well

Considered simply IN colo business
terms, Congress will be making good
investment by passing the most gener-
Gus military pay raise bill possible. To
cite only one example from the Senate
debate: Senator Cannon Of Nevada,
answering a question by Majority Leader
Mansfield, estimated the cost Of train
ing one B-52 pilot to be $685., 900.
"And If because of the necessity
Of his family, he leaves the service,
what happens to that investment by
the Government" asked Mr.. Mansfield.
"The investment certainly is lost" Mr..
Cannon replied, because the Govern
ment must then proceed to train q
replacement"
For the $40 a month pay raise he
would receive from the Senate bill, this
pilot (najor) might be persuaded to
remain in the service. It is In the middle
officer grades that most OF the waste
occurs from good officers dropping out
of the service. And 1t is in this area that
the unanimously passed Senate bill is
more generous than the House-adopted
proposal.
Hard-headed business motives aside,
there are demanding humanitarian rea-
sons why the Armed Forces deserve
the best possible break. Recent surveys
by The Associated Press and The Army
Mayfair Force Journal and Register
have disclosed the necessity for many
military families to turn to charity for
basic needs such as food, clothing and
housing. This is a shameful state Of
affairs.
Not only the active service per-
sonnet, but many Of those now retired,
have been caught In the cost-of-living
squeeze. Some Of the retirees did not
even benafit from the last raise five
years ago.
Senator Cannon, who ably steered
the Senate bill, has asked the House
to accept 1t without reSorting to con-
ference. The Senate bill would cost only
about SIS million more than the House
version and every cent would be well
spent.
