Kingman Brewster, jr., the new
Yale University president, is product
of his own theory: If a man is worth
promoting at all, he should be promoted
while he is still young enough to do a
job At the age of A, the tall, hand
some former law professor should have
many years in which to place his i'm
print on the physical and academic
establishment at New Haven.
Friends of the university are graft
fled that the selection committee, after
carefully looking over the national
field, returned to the campus for their
man. Having served as the provost of
his alma mater, Mr.. Brewster knows
we'll the tasks of operating an institu-
ton of 8,400 students, 1000 faculty
members and supporting staff of 5000,
with a $45-million annual budget and
$20-million payroll.
Mr.. Brewster'S popularity among
faculty, student body and alumni, his
sense of balance in dealing with the
scientific and humaniSt branches of
learning, and his leaning toward strong
personal leadership, bode well for the
university. 1t is as though the late
DR.. A. Whitney GriSwold knew he was
in fact selecting his successor when
he made Mr.. Brewster his provost three
years ago.

u. N. in Wet Nam

It is a fact of no little importance
that the United Nations is undertaking
an on-the-Spot investigation in South
Wet Nam at the invitation of President
Diem. In substance, through letter
to the head of the General Assembly
Mr.. Diem has said that his country'S
doors are open and that the U. N. is
welcome to come in and see for itself
what the real situation is as regards
relations between the government and
the Buddhist community"
In response, the Assembly Presi-
dent-Dr. Carlos SoSa Rodriguez of
VeneZuela-now has appointed seven
man mission to go to South Wet Nam
and look into the charges of some
Buddhists (charges not supported by
other BuddhistS) that they are being
prosecuted" by the Diem government.
The chairman of the mission is from
AfghaniStan, and the six other mem
bers are from Brazil, Costa RIGA, Moroc-
co, Dahomey, Ceylon and Nepal. These
are men who cover wide geographical
and political spectrum, and the hope is
that they will be able to study the sit
uation effectively and turn in truly
impartial report.
Clearly, such a study is sorely
needed to counter the vast amount Of
sheer nonsense and fantasy that has

Boby-Sitting

Playing both papa and mama to
two active youngsters on week end
seems to be enough of chore without
the extra task of running country.
However, even though President Ken
nedy continues to draw heavy assign
ment of baby-sitting, we find 1t difficult
to work up any strong sympathy for
him
In the first place, Mr.. Kennedy is
fortunate in having two youngsters
with the friSky charm of Miss Caroline
and Master Jack, and we are sure both
he and Mrs. Kennedy are well aware
of it. Just month this side of her sixth
birthday, Miss Caroline is beginning to
move out of the doll-baby class into the
sub-iunior miss stage. Master Jack, as
far as we know, is a well-behaved and
bright young fellow of high attain
mentS.
Having the weight Of the country
on his shoulders, Mr.. Kennedy undoubt-
edly finds less time than most fathers
to spend with his children. So with
Mrs Kennedy away, and given the dual
parental responsibility, he most likely
pitches in with the same cheerfulneSS
he has exhibited in other challenging
situations. That, at least, is the pic
ture we get from Camp David, a hide
away which appears to be babySitter's
paradise.

HoodIums at Lorqe

In theory, at least, 1t is desirable
to shield juvenile offenders from adult
criminals Even when the juveniles
have been guilty of such things as
robbery, stabbing, and other crimes of
violence.
But this theory should not be pur-
sued to the point of turning hoodlums
loose on the public, as Juvenile Court
Judge Ketcham has done in four cases
which grew out of a legaliStic dispute
as to where the juveniles might be
confined. Certainly, unless the public
interest is to be wholly ignored, they
should be confined somewhere.
At the bottom of this situation is
a difference Of opinion between Judge
Ketcham and Federal Prison Director
James Bennett. Mr.. Bennett trans
ferred the youths from the National
Training School for Boys, where they
were thought to be unmanageable, to
institutions at Ashland, KY, and Peters
burg, Va Judge Ketcham wanted them
sent back to the Training School be-
cause he thought the law requires 1t.
Mr.. Bennett refused, and the Judge
ordered their release.
After a fashion, this solved the
jurisdictional dispute-but at the ex-
pense of the public. Happily, Judge
Ketcham has made it clear that this
case is one he will not want to repeat

In a charge to the newly appointed
Montgomery County grand jury the
other day, Circuit Court Judge Walter
H. Norman directed the panel to in
vestigate the possibility of criminal vio-
lations arising from conflict-of-interest
activity within the county government.
1t is high time that the court did so.
Allegations Of misconduct by public
officials have swept through the county
in recent weeks. Some Of them have
amounted to little more than implica-
lions. Some have been more direct. In
a recent article for Montgomery news
paper, the Suburban Record, for ex-
ample, Mrs. Caroline Freeland, mem
Der of the Montgomery County Plan
ming Board, had this, in part, to say:
To many of those in Montgomery County
who know what is really going on, day Of
reckoning may be fast approaching for
greedy souls involved in real estate opera
tons.
One hears, for example, ugly rumors Of
out-and-out payoffs. To try to avoid atten-
ton by the Internal Revenue Service, NUM-
cipal bonds payable to the bearer &. are
utilized Not quite as crude are participation
deals Ownership of q partial interest in
property which is up for re-zoning can be
hidden by taking title through an agent
These are strong words. And the
grand jury, when it reconveneS early
next month, should call Mrs. Freeland
as its first order of business to tell
what is really going on" If Mrs. Free
land has firSt-hand knowledge of the
ugly rumors of out-and-out payoffS"
and schemes to avoid the payment of
taxes, as presumably she does, she
should welcome the opportunity to ap-
pear If she does not have such infor-
nation, that also should be determined.
For to make such charges without sup
porting facts would be both reckless
and irresponsible.
Whatever the case, having gone
this far, Mrs. Freeland cannot now
remain silent. In the public interest,
as we'll as her own, accusations must
not be permitted to remain UNEMPLOYED.

Let's Be Sensible

Senator Morse's anti-coup proposal,
with or without administration support,
is a child of fervor rather than good
judgment
The Oregon Senator wants a legal
ban on aid under the Alliance for
Progress program to any country "in
which the government has come to
power through the forcible overthrow
of a prior government which had been
chosen in free and democratic cleo
tons"
This unenlightened proposal, which
would make an excellent theme for a
free-wheeling Fourth Of July political
speech, is said to have administration
support, provided a retroactive feature
is eliminated. If this is true it is re-
grettable for it is a senSelesS sort of
proposition.
1t would be nice If each and every
Latin American country enjoyed the
manifold blessings of a freely-chosen
government devoted exclusively and
single mindedly to improving the lot
of the people. A political system say,
in which the theme would be: Ask not
what you can do for your government,
but rather what your government can
do for you.
Unfortunately, this ideal scheme
of things is hardly as much as
CLEAN in the Latin American eye. Some
governments chosen in free and demo-
cratic elections are having hard time
of it. They are threatened from the
Right and they are threatened from
the Left. Surely it would not be very
smart for the United States to look
only at the evil on the Right and ignore
the danger on the Left
It is quite possible that situation
might arise in which it would be much
better for us, not to mention the people
directly involved, to have an incom-
petent elected government overthrown
by a military coup instead Of by a
Castroite Communist coup. In such
situation, why should we not encourage
rather than discourage the military?
There is a further point. Suppose
coup has already occurred. Should the
administration be prevented by law
from holding out the hope Of aid as
an inducement or lever with which
to obtain the best deal for the people
affected Should the President be de-
prived of freedom of action2 We do
not think so.
Our position comes down basically
to the point that we have never liked
handouts - especially when they are
to be used to handcuff ourselves.

Comforting Words

comfort and to bless as has
the Twenty-third Psalm.

of a fault
Doth make the fault the

tressing news stories about

Thus, the position Of the

three reasonable possible

1t Is to be noted that let
tiers are appearing in the
Canadian press protesting
the sale of wheat and food
stuffs to the Red bloc.
Some of these writer's
point out that back in the
1905 the western powers
sold scarce commodities such
as scrap steel, chemicals, oil
and rubber to the Axis part
ners which did allow them to
become m odern industrial
powers able to produce the
weapons Of war.
Others point out that as
long as the masses are fed in
the Communist countries,
these regimes will continue
to exist more strongly than
ever. The only hope, say
some of these Canadians, is
that hungry people will then
topple their Red m asters.
Hungry and i'll they become
restless and unable to work
or fight.
Now that the jubilation
has died down over the
wheat deal with Russia, we
are wondering what we have
to buy in return. With our
stores already bullying with
cheap goods from Asian and
other cheap-labor countries,
an influx Of more cheaply
produced goods from the Red
bloc will swell our already
long lines of unemployed.
What may appear to have
been a good deal with the
Reds, may yet prove to be an

The Assembly Of Captive
European Nations strongly
believes that in considering
Soviet and satellite offers OF
wheat purchases in terms OF
the sellers economic advan-
tages only, the Western ma
tions, Canada and the United
States above all, are missing
a tremendous opportunity to
exercise a beneficial influ-
ence on developments in the
Communicated countries.
The grain deficit Of the
Soviet Union, Red China and
of most of the European cap
tive nations is man-made. 1t
is, on the one hand, the con-
sequence of forced COLLECTIVE
zation and the attendant lack
of incentive on the part Of the
brutally exploited peasants.
1t is, on the other hand, the
result of a politically mott
waited ALLEGATION of resources.
Agriculture and the conSum-
er goods in general are neg
lected in the Communist
ruled countries to permit a
faster build-up of the indus
trial underpinning of Soviet
warmaking capacity.
The unconditional sale OF
grain, sometimes at Subsi-
died price levels, to the
Communist ruled countries,
against Soviet gold mined by
forced labor, iS-we fear
tantamount to underwriting
the consequences of Commu-

torship which is grinding
them down. And after As
years of Communist tyranny,
the Russian people still re-
fuse to toll beyond the mini
mum necessary to keep them
alive thus scorning the
Socialist state which our
wheat would fortify.
For the United States Off
Gals to justify this private"
business deal with the So
VETS piles insult upon injury
to free and intelligent Amer
leans. It takes Government
sanction to allow these ''pri-
vate" dealers to gain licenses
to sell" the commodities,
and, secondly, what trader
would not leap at a deal to
buy goods at so cents a unit
less than the world market
price? (Of course, the SO
cents per unit variation will
be made up out of the tax
revenues Americans must
pay as income taxi. What
enterprising busine S m a n
would make a deal with a

guaranteed profit in it for
him-when that debtor has
a record showing he still
owes a huge debt long I'M
paid? (Russia still owes the

refuses to pay)
A third point in this deal
is the gold that is promised
for the wheat. For years,
since 1888, Americans have
been told by their Govern
ment that gold is old-fash-
ioned-that it is outmoded as
