On DeductibIe Wives

Internal Revenue Service Commits
sioner Mortimer Caplin has been pa
tiently good-natured about the COM
plant that new expense account regu-
lations will leave secretaries, but not
wives, deductible as travelling or meal
time companions. It isn't quite that
simple, he explains, and furthermore
he is "for" wives.
Actually, the IRIS regulation writers
still are trying TO work out ground rules
conforming to the intent Of Congress
when it enacted last years tax legisla-
ton. Meanwhile, Mr. Caplin, appearing
on Senator Keating's weekly radio
television program for the latter's New
York State audience, has indicated that
"the Mrs" will get fair break when
there is evidence that she has really
helped In what he called "a business
setting" such as husband-wife luncheon
entertaining Of customers. And perhaps
Just TO make II clear that he approves
wives both In principle and In person,
the commissioner added: I'VE certainly
know she's necessary for home purposes.
AS a married man with five children I
can vouch for that" As q matter OF fact,
Mrs. Caplin herself might have some
very worthwhile ideas about the
expense-accoun status Of helpful wives.

Conflict of Interest

as There are two ways Of looking at
the conflict of interest inSinuations,
aimed at Deputy Defense Secretary
Gilpatric, which have been oozing out
of the Senate committee study Of the
Tx warplane contract.
Y One is that these charges or intima-
lions are politically inspired. If so, this
Is thoroughly reprehenSible.
e The other is that the sponsors Of
these intimations really believe that
there may be basis for the complaint.
If this is the case, we would like to cast
our vote on the side Of the proposition
that this is the rankest sort of nonsense.
Presumably it is necessary, or at
least expedient, to erect some kind Of
conflict Of interest barrier between
temptation and prospective Govern
ment official. It may take the form Of
sworn testimony that he has severed
all former professional connections or a
statute requiring business man to
impoverish himself in return for the
privilege" Of serving his country. In
either situation, the efficacy of the
bdA4ACA 10 OpCAA W grave 4uCoJ4OAls
Conflict-of-interest procedures will not
make an honest man out of a thief.
What the Senate, in its confirmatory
process, ought to do is to take a long,
hard look at the man. If his integrity
is suspect or questionable, confirmation
should be refused. The real looting in
Government jobs has resulted from
confirming nominations on the dotted
political line. And as long as this is
the practice, conflict-of-interest pro-
cedures will accomplish little.
But, back to Mr.. Gilpatric. We do
not believe there is the slightest basis
for raising any question with respect to
him and the Tx contract. His superior,
Mr.. Mcnamara, assumes full RESPONSE
bility for that contract And, we trust,
there Is no prospect that Mr.. Mcnamara
is going to be accused of getting his
under-th table cut from this deal. The
real danger in a situation Of this kind
is that politicking and wild-blue-yonder
stuff will discourage honorable, decent,
competent men from taking any kind
of Government job. Only those with
sticky fingers will apply. And this, 1t
seems to us, raises the real conflict of
interest-from the point Of view Of the
public interest.

Wholly apart from agreeing on steps
to promote political, economic and
social progress, the San Jose Conference
Of Presidents has made a potentially
significant decision in resolving to use
more than just words In coping with the
threat of Communist-run Cuba.
OF course, as long as countries like
Mexico decline to cooperate, this is
something that is going to be more easily
said than done. Nevertheless, in concert
with the United States, the Central
American group, together with Panama,
can do much to contain-and eventually
roll back, one hopes-the deadly Red
conspiracy in which Fidel Castro has
become the completely plant tool of the
Kremlin.
At any rate, as set forth in the San
Jose Declaration, Panama and the Cen
trail American Republics are as one with
our own country in being determined to
hit back-and hard, with armed force
If necessary against Soviet-directed
efforts to subvert them. Accordingly, as
the declaration makes clear, they are
Joined with us in a program designed,
among other things, ~ to bring about
stricter travel controls In relation to
Cuba and (2) to prevent introduction
of money, propaganda materials and
arms" into the area.
Beyond that, aside from economics,
politics, sociology, etc., the most impor-
tant commitment of all has been made
by the United States. 1t is commitment
under which our Government has joined
with the other San Jose signatories not
only to put bride on traitorous trav-
elers from the free Americas to Red
Havana, but also to make clear to the
men of the Kremlin that our countrys
military power will be brought into play
when and If they decide-acting through
the Castro regime-to invoke force to
spread their influence throughout the
Western Hemisphere.
The issue is thus pretty well joined
Exploiting their Havana puppet, Nikita
Khrushchev and his co-conspirators may
be able to make some progress in sub
verting the Americas, but only at the
risk Of setting off an explosion of the
worst kind. In that respect, what needs
to be remembered in Moscow is that our
Government has already warned, at the
highest level, that 1t is prepared to act
not with mere words, but with armed
force.

The compromise" suggested by
Dean Arch Woodruff in an effort to
resolve the Three Sisters Bridge con-
troversy has served at least to revive
discussions on this subject within the
National Capital Planning Commission.
And this is a good thing, for certainly
an amicable solution, If one is possible,
would be vastly preferable to the impasSe
which exists today.
Unfortunately, however, the pros
pect for such a meeting Of minds is not
great. Perhaps the District government
could afford to consider, in the interests
of agreement, some Of the suggestions.
One, for example, is that the District
transfer to the National Park Service
its right-of-way through Glover-Arch-
bold Park lat the District end of the
proposed BRIDGE, thereby alternating
fears that highway might Immediately
be extended from the bridge through
the park. Another is the possibility of
minimizing the impact of the bridge
and Of Route 266 on the Virginia side of
the river by reducing certain highway
structures, including, perhaps, elimi-
mating a connection between the bridge
and the George Washington Memorial
parkway.
But other OF the compromise"
proposals should be totally unacceptable
including one suggesting that the
width OF the eight-lane bridge might be
reduced to six or TO four lanes, and
another proposing TO eliminate, on the
District side, any connections between
the bridge and roadways TO the north
or west. The elimination Of such con-
nections simply would not permit the
bridge TO serve traffic needs adequately.
A reduction in the width Of the
Three Sisters Bridge would be equally
senseless. We are convinced that In the
not-too- distant future the Washington
area will come TO rue the 'compromise"
decision under which 1t was agreed to
limit the new Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
TO only six lanes. 1t is apparent even
before that bridge is completed that
severe traffic jams already have been
built into It's Virginia approaches. Surely
no such mistake should be made in
relation 10 the Three Sisters Bridge or

Slain Policemen

A 24-year-old rookie policeman, has
been shot down and killed on the streets
Of this city in senseleSs murder. Surely,
there are at least two reasonable con-
illusions to be drawn from this tragic
affair.
One should suggest itself to those,
especially the professional racist plead
ers, who repeatedly damn the police with
charges Of racial discrimination, bru-
tally, irresponsible use of their weapons,
etc. In this caSe-not typical robbery
or mugging-the killer had refused to
pay his bus fare-at most, very small
item. When the bus driver, who is ex-
pected to collect the fare, called in a
policeman, the stage for a killing was
set.
Private Elmer Hunter, less than a
year on the force, took the man from the
bus to patrol box It was his duty to
do this. But his non-fare- paying pris-
oner was afraid to 60 to jail" So after
a struggle, the arrested man shot three
times and killed the officer.
We do not know what explanations
will be offered by those who seem to
think that every crime should be blamed
and excused on the basis of slums,
broken homes, racial discrimination,
unequal Job opportunities, society,"" or
anything else that comes to mind.
The fact is, however, that Private
Hunter, with wife and two small chill
dren, was conscientious police officer.
His superiors said his future was prom
Using. At the very least, he cannot be
accused Of shooting anyone in irrespon-
sible fashion. Nor can he be condemned
by CORE or the NAACP for a racial
offense. Private Hunter was colored,
and so was the man who killed him.
To US, the differences are that any
police officer (not to mention any private
citizen) lives dangerously in this city.
And 1t doesn't make the slightest diff
ference whether one is white or colored.
The criminals don't care.

Sins of Police

Senator Ervin's objection
that the Mallory rule visits

could surely be eliminated by
q determined effort by the

suspect should be protected
by the same logic which pro-
tects him II the police are

warrants. The second atti-
tude which might lead 10 de-
lay In arraignment Is disre-
gard for due process. Police

cases. confessions obtained In

VISTAS IN SCIENCE

By THOMAS R. HENRY

More than q half million
radioactive cocktails now are
served each year in this
country.
This is announced by DR..
Glenn T. Seaborg, chair
man Of the Atomic Energy
Commission. They are mix
lures Of water and various
amounts of Iodine l31. q
radioactive istope Of the
element iodine which is taken
up by the thyroid gland and
Is used in diagnosis Of thy
roid ailments. It all started
about 20 years ago, DR.. Sea-
borg says, The probable value
Of iodine for this sort Of
diagnosis was recognized by
diagnosticians.
The only radioactive form
Of the element available how
ever, was Iodine 1873, which
had q half life Of only IS
minutes. This afforded al
together too brief O period
for observation Of thyroid
uptake. Commission physi-
cists went to work and
produced Iodine 1871, with q
half life Of about eight days.
This was almost exactly what
the doctors wanted.
No Danger TO Patient
The cocktail can be given
as often as necessary without
any apparent danger to the
patient. The use now has
spread TO hospitals all over
the world. The isotope can
be produced in sufficient
quantities TO meet all de-
mands.
There are other radio cock
tail mixtures In less common
use. Notable Is the iron cock
tail, using a radioactive form
OF iron which is Of value in
the study Of the build-up OF
blood.
Also In use, Or. Seaborg
says. are cocktails OF the
elements palladium. yttrium,
PHOSPHORUS and chromium
used in experimental treat
ment Of chronic leukemia
and Hodgkins disease. Gold
combined with iodine Is being
utilized TO study the size,
location and function OF the
liver. Brain tumors have been
subjected 10 study with cop
per labeled iodine.
The Iodine 13l cocktail.
however, remains the most
popular with physicians. Or.
Seaborg says, and It's use Is
spreading now from month
10 month. Greatest reward,
however. probably viii come
from increased knowledge Of
