/ This projected transaction
has been complicated by Presi-
dent Kennedy's stipulation, If
authorizing the sale Of grain t.
the Soviet bloc, that it be
shipped in American vessels
when available. Corn and
and other farm products not
grown under subsidy were ex-
empted from the shipping re-
striction.
Rates Protested
A Soviet trade mission, which
held a preliminary conference
with United States cabinet Of
ficials Wednesday, has OBJ
Jected to paying the higher
freight rates charged by Amer
lean shippers. These are based
in part at least on higher labor
costs.
At the Agriculture Depart
ment, officials said wheat has
gone up about 10 cents a bushel
and flour about Is cents a hun
dred pounds from the summer
low but that flour is still 20
cents a hundred pounds
cheaper than it was a year ago,
A memorandum prepared BY
department experts for Secre-
tary Freeman said there was no
basis for expecting prices in the
current marketing year, ending
next June 80, to go higher than
those OF a year ago.
The memo said the price in
crease since the summer low
amounts to two-fifths to three
fifths Of a cent in the cost of
the wheat in a pound loaf of
bread. 1t added:

100 Grand Bust

Perhaps the television producers
have been selling the great American
public short all the time. If so, the
long suffering home audience has
struck back with a vengeance, at least
in the vulnerable area Of the quiz pro-
gram, which we thought had been
shamed out of countenance long ago.
It took the producers Of 100
Grand" a dreary attempt to revive
the big cash jackpot shows, just three
performances to learn the only reaction
registered by the public was stifled
yawnS. The promoters kept pleading
with the doubters to believe that,
honest to gosh, folks, this show is 100
per cent honest.
Nobody could possibly quarrel with
the claim. Anything so dull had to
be honest. But the point is that the
ignominious day of the quiz program,
except for worthwhile and stimulating
shows like College Bowl, is dead and
the public has ordered its permanent
burial. Producers who would try to sell
more Of the drivel should know by now
that people have found better ways
to use their time.

Our Cup Runneth Over

Though he undoubtedly means well,
it would appear that Mr.. Gerald Carson
is giving District residents altogether
too much credit when 1t comes to
downing good sour mash whiskey. BY
way of plugging his new book on the
uses of bourbon, Mr.. Carson reminds
us that considerable fabrication is
required to keep the Government
wheels spinning in Washington
It could be that Mr.. Carson, in
sober innocence, has fallen into the
same trap which has tripped up many
Washington critic. 1.-THE District of
Columbia" he says, to-day drinks more
bonded bourbon per capita than does
Kentucky, and about seven times the
gallonage required to slake the legal
thirst of Alabama"
Fie on such a canard! Anyone with
90 proof brains knows that nobody
drinks more bonded bourbon than the
Kentuckian, who loves and trusts his
own product AS for Alabamans, we
daresay these hearty outlanderS can
at least hold their own with any
urbanized Washingtonians.
It is very true, as Mr.. Carson in
Inmates, that the per capita annual con-
sumption of the District IA whopping
6.55 gallons) is officially listed as the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-05

highest in the Nation. Alongside that
figure, Maryland's 1.57 and Virginia's
1888 gallons per man, woman and child,
looks downright arid. But the Distilled
Spirits Institute kindly adds a foot
note, explaining that 1t only seems
that much wetter in the District be-
cause lower prices here attract buyers
from Maryland and Virginia, as well
as many tranSientS, who guzzle to their
hearts content while the District takes
the statistical rap.
theoretically, Marylanders are al
lowed to buy only two quarts a month
from the District, but that is a mirage.
And Virginians are allowed one gallon
per person per trip-which is not a
mirage, but an oasis. For what 1t is
worth in the spirit Of brotherhood, we
are sure our neighbors will gladly share
the guilt or credit now abundantly
overlooking the District.

Phone Rates

One thing you have to say for the
telephone company. 1t stays right in
there pitching.
First 1t took away our exchanges
and gave us a lot Of numbers that made
us more dependent than ever on our old
telephone book. Then it took away our
old book and gave us a variety Of new
ones, so we would have less chance of
finding the number we can't remember.
Now it wants TO raise District telephone
rates by some IA to 81 per cent, part Of
which presumably would help to pay for
the new numbers and the new books.
Technically, the company's case for
the new charges rests on a whole raft
Of contentious about depreciation
schedules, fair rates Of return and Strug-
giles for investment capital. 1t will not
be possible to assess its detailed validity
until after the Public Utilities Commits
sion has held its hearing.
The company has made some nom
technical statements which we have no
trouble at all understanding, however,
and which impress US. For example:
Telephone rates in the District Of Co
lumbia are rock-bottorn on the list Of
rates among the 16 comparable cities Of
the country. They have not been
changed chow many other consumer
services could make this Statement?)
for nearly 10 years. The local company's
rate of earnings is the lowest in the
entire Bell System-and dropping.
We're still mad about those books
We still hate all-digit dialing. We note
with delight the success Of the Anti
Digit Dialing League which has gone to
court and stopped, temporarily at least,
this de-humanizing practice in San
Francisco.
Bullets face it-even heartleSS
monopoly is entitled to a fair return.
A rate increase of some size is undoubt-
eddy due.

Stamp of Approval

For decades the gullible
public paid the "fair-traded"
price. 1t was a price in most
cases, well above a fair re-
turn to the average business
man. It smelled Of manipu-
lation in favor Of the
manufacturer, 1t promoted a
closed. governed society and
helped to keep thousands Of
ultra small or poorly man
aged businesses in operation.
A few people were hurt, but
this is a country Of free
thinking competition.
And along came trading
stamps which for some so
years have generated great
appeal. No doubt the idea
of getting something for
nothing" has universal fasci-
nation. but trading stamps
provide jobs for many thou
sands, keep factories hum
ming with new ideas and be-
sides, hours are spent by
families planning for new
knick knacks to brighten
their homes.

Those coups

The lnter-Amertcan Alliance Tor
Progress, for the fourth time since last
March, now has been shaken by an
other military coup d'etat. The new
trouble spot is Honduras. The armed
forces there have overthrow the gov
eminent of President Ramon Villeda
Morales and made clear that new
national elections will not take place
later in the month, as scheduled.
In explaining the overthrow, the
military have charged the Villeda
Morales regime and It's prospective
successor with blindness toward COM
munism in their midst and with re-
fusing to acknowledge the presence Of
Communist guerrillas in the noun
tains of Honduras" This has become
the. standard excuse for rightist coups
in the Americas. But in the present
instance there is reason to believe that
the armed forces have acted as they
have primarily to safeguard their special
privileges against possible new consti-
tutional restraints.
So the Alliance for Progress, in its
efforts to promote social and economic
reforms, and to help build sturdy demo-
cratic institutions as a counterweight
to Castroism in the Caribbean, con-
tinueS to suffer setback after setback.
Further, there are fears that more
coups may be in the making elsewhere
in. the Americas-in Ell Salvador, for
instance, and Venezuela. The cry there
fore has gone up that the United States
ought to stop just wringing its hands
and start doing something to put an
end to the whole business.
Do what? Well, the extreme mill
tantS want nothing less than direct
military Intervention whenever or
wherever there are advance signs of
armed forces preparing to topple duly
elected governments. As for the some
what less militant, such as Senator
Morse, they would put a permanent
end to economic aid and diplomatic
relations in the case of all juntaS guilty
Of staging coupS. On closer inspection,
however, neither of these punitive
courses seems to be either realistic
or promising in a hemisphere where
Yanqui gunboat-and-dollar diplomacy
is no longer in style.
Our conclusion must be along the
same general line as that expressed in
another editorial on this, page, on the
not unrelated subject of Wet Nam.
There are facts behind the news from
the Caribbean that should not be dis
carded In an emotional tizzy.
1t is fact, for instance, that the
democratic way Of life is not as easy
to export as is dollar aid. It is fact
that the military is usually the Stablest
land by no means the most reactionary)
element in the Latin-American social
scene. 1t is a fact that the interests
of this country, and our long-range aims
for the hemisphere, have not really been
hurt by most Of the coups that have
taken place since the alliance was
formulated.
Perhaps we should be a little more
philosophical In our approach to these
messy situations. Perhaps our best
course is to keep working for the things
we believe in-but to be not too sur
prised when we find we have failed to
reform the world overnight

Competent Teachers

Ralph McGill, in dealing
with overcrowded class rooms
and assignment Of teachers
to specific subjects. quotes
some conclusions of DR..
James B. Conant in his book,
THE Education of American
TIE a CHI ers." However, he
merely made m ention in
passing Of the important
problem posed by assignment
Of persons to teach subjects
for which they are not prop
erly educated and trained.
Recently I read that in our
schools an English teacher
had been assigned to teach
mathematics. To solve this
problem. DR.. Conant makes
these two significant and inn
portant recommendations:
Cd That the State require a
can didate for a teaching
position to hold a baccalau-
reate degree from q legiti-
mate college or university
and (2) that he hold a spe-
cially Endorsed teaching GER
tificate from a college or
university which, in issuing
the official document, attests
that the institution as a
whole considers the person
adequately prepared to teach
in q d designated field and
grade level. And to follow
through, he recon- m e nd S
that the State education au-
thorities should give top
priority to the development
Of regulations insuring that a
teacher will be assigned only
to those teaching duties for
which he is specifically pre-
pared, and should enforce
these regulation vigorously"
Our children in the public
schools are entitle d to at
least the benefit of these re-
commentators, otherwise we
shall have to put up with n
situation in this respect
which can be aptly des-
cribed: That Of all the
teachers on mathematics, the
best biology teacher is Tom
the history teacher"

Given Great Credit
ohio's Republican State
chairman, Ray Bliss, Is one
Of the wisest and most as
tute Of the @. o. p. lead
ers. He is given great credit
for the effective Republican
campaign in Ohio which
landed former Vice Presi-
dent I Richard M. Nixon
ahead of President Kennedy
in the 1860 election. He is
counted upon to carry the
State for next years Re-
publican nominee. And he
has made no public indorse-
ment Of any Of the possibili-
ties to date. If neither Gold
water nor Rockefeller ap-
pear acceptable. then Gov.
Romney Of Michigan, Gov.
Scranton Of Pennsylvania or
Senator Morton Of Kentucky
may have his support.
In any event, Chairman
Bliss is expected to have a
powerful voice in Republic
can councils and in the
eventual nomination.
Ohio has an up-coming
Republican, Representative
Robert Taft, jr., son of the
late Senator. There seems
no likelihood he would be-
come a "favorite-son" can

to become a candidate for
Senate against Democratic
Senator Young next year.
That is a race the @. o. P.

Foreign Aid Cuts

"Is it too much for this
great and rich country to set
aside O.007 per cent of its
gross national product to the
welfare Of the less fortunate
inhabitants Of our world in
these times?" This was asked
by Representative Vanick of
Ohio during the recent
House debate on foreign aid.
The answer Of the House was
a s5S5 million cut In foreign
aid and adoption Of amend
ments which will draStically
hamper the implementation
Of the program.
The League Of Women
Voters has studied foreign
economic aid for q number Of
years and supports an effec-
tive and adequate long-range
program Of development
grants, technical assistance,
and loans to the underdevel-
oped nations as a means of
insuring their independence
and strengthening freedom
throughout the world.
The reduction would
greatly reduce the scope of
our aid program, deal a dis
astrous blow to the Alliance
for Progress and, according
to General Lucius Clay,
would badly dam age fire.,
world security. The amend
ments would not only maxi
difficult the admins Stion
Of the progra m but would
also tend to antagontze
friendly nations throughout
the world. Particularly objec-
tionable would be the estab-
lishment of a 2 per cent min
imum interest rate on all
development loans In place
Of the present rate Of about
q of one per cent. This
would place the heaviest bur-
den on the countries least
able to assume 1t.
The drastic cuts can be
restored and the restrictive
amendments eliminated by
the Senate. In a very real
sense, however, this matter is
also up for decision by all of
the American people. Now is
the time, therefore, for those
who value this vital program
to write their s Senators to
urge their support Of the
United States foreign aid ef-
fort.
