Rising Economy Is Called a Rare Chance
For President to Trim Budqet and Deficit

tary of the Treasury, Mr.. Dill
Ion, halls the improved eco
nomic prospects as likely to
so increase Government tax
revenues that the prospective
$l2 billion budget deficit will
be cut by 81 billion. 1t would
be possible to cut it much
more by a sensible attitude
toward Government expendi-
lures in every field, including
foreign aid, space and de-
fense.
When he addressed Con-
gress on January Is, Mr..
Kennedy proposed to pour
more money into the national
economy and take pro-
portionately less out. Now
there is certainly less
economic justification for the
planned deficit program than
In January, and every justi-
fication for the adoption of
stabilizing economic policies.
Moreover, there is more
reason now, with the in
creased economic activity, to
believe that lowered rates Of
taxation might result in in
creased Government reve-
nues.
Mr.. Kennedy thus has at
this moment a golden oppor-
tunity to move away from the
huge planned deficit of Janu-
ary into a soberer and sound
er program of spending and
taxation.
He appears to be caught,
however, as he has been in
other instances, in the webs
Of his own rhetoric. He has
anticipated, in hard-to-swal-
low syntax, conditions that
did not materialize. He tends
to become frozen into doctrin-
aire positions from which he
has difficulty receding, per-
haps because he has formu-
lated them so we'll in words.
The idea of a "sophisticat-
ed" Western Europe approach
to planned deficits on a large
scale is one of these fixations,
in spite Of new evidence that

quired to take this kettle off

Senator Goldwater - who
speaks with a toughly ap-
pealing private candor oddly
but strongly remindful OF a
former Senate colleague
called John F. Kennedy-naS
got his own feet unpleasantly
close TO the fire. He wryly

There is nothing coy in
Senator Goldwater as, again,
there is nothing coy in the
man he would likely and
maybe not like 10 challenge
for the presidency next year.
But. the Kennedy OF 1855 or
thereabouts decided he would
go for the big prize and never
afterward looked back.
Through h different circum-
stances Senator Goldwater
has a crick from looking both
forward and back.
He Is in that deliciously
painful dilemma OF a ma
tional politician when II Is

siastically but also with logic
that the greatest honor OF
his profession, the presiden-
tial nomination, might be

II he fought for II. The trou-
ble-at this early point, any
how, and leaving escape
matches for the well-known
capacity OF politicians TO con-
vince themselves that they
had been unduly pessimistic
about themselves-is that he
doesn't yet know whether he
wants II.
He is not only unsure he
could beat Mr.. Kennedy. He
is also unsure he could run
a strong enough race 10 avoid

II said that his candidacy
had destroyed the credit Of
his brand OF conservatism

Thus, the more tom-toms

the more he wishes a period
OF quiet would fall. Men
pushing him TO get In there

his fayorite Americans. This
is especially true OF members
OF the John Birch Society.
For he Is well aware that an
effort is being made TO wrap
him up exclusively with far
out right wingers, a company
he will not denounce but a
company he has not Joined

not at home.

RICHARD WILSON
A Golden Fiscal Opportunity

these doctrines are getting
the Western Europeans into
trouble.
France, at the moment, is
going through painful eco
nomic period of adjustment
and reaction to its planned
deficits policies. Business
credit is being curbed, prices
are being frozen, retail profit
margins limited, and income
taxes increased in a convul-
sion that adversely affects
the popularity of Gen. de
Gaulle's grand economic de-
sign.
Mr.. Kennedy can no longer
point with any satisfaction to
Western European economic
policies as an example for the
United States.
Inability to perceive and
respond quickly and ac-
curately to changing econom-
ic trends is the inner weak
ness of the modified econom-
ic planning policies which ap-
peal to President Kennedy.
His predecessor, Mr.. Eisen-
hover, no genius in economic
matters, erred perhaps on
the side of not responding at
all, in the conviction that
conditions would probably
have changed before his ac-
ton could have its effect.
Mr.. Kennedy's attitude is,
in part. a reaction against
the Eisenhower let-it-alone
policy, but the President need
not be controlled by such
compulsive feelings.
He could act now. prompt
ly and surely, toward more
rational fiscal policies, which
probably would be heartily
welcomed in Congress and
make his way easier in his
entire legislative program.

RICHARD WILSON

If President Kennedy were
to follow his own formula of
dynamic, and adjustable,
leadership he would go be-
fore Congress and say some
thing like this;
"When I last addressed you
in January, conditions we're
different than today. We
could not then foresee clear
ly the rising strength of the
economy. 1t Is, In any case,
difficult to peer l8 months
into the future as we must
do in the formulation of a
Federal budget.
I'VE see now, however, a
heartening rise In most Of
the reliable business indica-
tors on a scale likely to carry
well into next year If not be-
yond.
II saw in January, as I
see now. the necessity of a
general reduction in taxation
to release the brake on eco
nomic growth.
But the improved eco
nomic outlook no longer
justifies a rate of Federal
spending to produce a $12
billion deficit as a spur for
increased economic activity.
1T is still relatively early
In the Congressional session.
Action has not been taken
on most of the appropriations
bills. I believe that the Con-
gress would be justified in
cutting on the average of 5 to
10 per cent from the original
budget submissions except in
those areas where the Federal
government has fixed obliga-
tions."
Unfortunately, there is no
sign that Mr.. Kennedy will
make such an address to Con-
gress. But he would do so If
he carried out his own ideas
Of a flexible response to
changing conditions in the
process of using executive
powers to control the eco
nomic climate.
On the contrary, the Secre-

MAX FREEDMAN

Gov. George c. Wallace Of
Alabama has every right to
ask the Supreme Court to
consider his complaint that
President Kennedy has vio-
lated the Constitution by
moving Federal troops into
positions near Birmingham
without q previous request
from the Governor or the
legislature. The legal merits
of Gov. Wallace's action are
open to the gravest doubt,
but that issue can safely be
left to the judgment of the
Supreme Court without ad-
vice from commentators in
the press.
1t is proper and appropri-
ate, however, to examine the
background Of Gov. Wallace's
objections. To what exactly
is he objecting2 The answer
carries ugly implications.
The Federal troops are not
yet on duty in Birmingham.
They were brought near the
city only when Birmingham
was ravaged by riots that
threatened a complete COL
lapse of law and order. 1t
may be argued that the au-
thorities in Alabama would
have been able to subdue the
threat of renewed rioting by
an even greater use Of police
dogs and fire hoses and or
ganized violence. But many
people will prefer to believe
that 1t was the precautionary
moves Of the Federal govern
ment that prevented more,
dangerous riots which would
have ravaged the city and
left a hideous legacy Of blood
shed and death.
We will never know the
definite answer - II Birm-
ingham and Alabama do
their duty without methods Of
brutality that outrage the
conscience OF America. II that

Gov. WoIIuce's Challenge to u. S.

weeks will give us the answer,
but they will be awaited with
anxiety.
For his astonishing and
provocative action in asking
the Supreme Court to tear
the Fourteenth Amendment
out of the Constitution is
hardly the act of a man
thinking first and always of
law and order.
Charles L. Black, jr., pro-
fessor Of Jurisprudence at
Yale University, has a pas
sage in one of his essays that
is relevant to our present dis
contents. THE white people
of the South" said Prof.
Black, "are possessed Of the
same decencies as anybody
else, outside the roped-off
area of racism, and they are
going to be uneasy about all
this. Parenthetically, as a
Southerner born and raised.
l think this inevitable revul-
sion is going to be an i'm
portant factor in Fastening
the demise Of the caste sys-
TEN. I think thousands on
thousands of Southern white
people are going to refuse in
the end to countenance the
fraud and violence that will
be necessary to maintain seq
regation as an illegal sys-
TEN, however much they
might have favored it so long
as 1t had the color Of law"
Perhaps this gives us the
key to Gov. Wallace's con-
duct. He may be trying to
prolong the existence Of seq
regation by appealing to spur
ious law and false doctrine.
But he will deceive himself.
and lead the people Of Ala
bama into needless misery, If
he thinks that segregation
sanctions disorder and pre-
vents the Federal govern
ment from carrying out its
mandate under the Consti-
tuition.

Justices Decisions in Sit-In Cases
Viewed as Rewriting the Constitution

The phrase private busi-
ness" may soon vanish inso-
far as freedom to hire whom
ever the employer pleases is
concerned. Like wise. the
private school" could lose
It's right of privacy in select
ing students for admission.
This Is the trend indicated
by the latest decisions of the
Supreme Court Of the United
States. They go so far as to
say that a demonstration can
be carried on by any number
of persons on the premises Of
any so-called private busi-
ness" and that, If 1t leads to
disorder by other persons,
the demonstrators-if their
cause is just-are to be re-
garded as blameless.
Even though ordered by
the proprietor to leave, the
intruders cannot be lawfully
arrested by the police II some
city official has denounced
or deplored the demonstra-
tions in advance. For q local
officer to express an opinion
contrary to what is in the
Fourteenth Amendment is
ruled the same as an official
command" to violate "the
law of the land" and is
deemed "coercive." 1t is evi-
IDENTIFY not to be protected by
the free speech clause of the
Constitution.
When outsiders remain on
the premises against the
wishes Of the owner, this is
apparently not "coercive" at
all. 1t has always been called
"trespassing," but will be no
longer. For Chief Justice
Warren has decreed in be-
half of the court that, since
the objective was presumably
to secure constitutional
rights, there is in these DEM
onStrations no incitement to
disorder or trespassing on
private property in violation
Of the law as the court con-
strues it today.
Justice Douglas, however,
has gone even further. He
issued on Monday a concur
ring opinion in which he said
he feels 1t is necessary Ito
state with more particular
ity" what is involved If the

happens, what is left Of the
practical issue? Very little.
The Federal troops will be
removed. the city viii settle
back into its uneasy peace,
and the controversy in Birm-
ingham will continue to
shoulder without riots and
without reprisals.
We have the right to as
sumo, until there is no escape
from the weight of contrary
evidence, that Gov. Wallace
wants to preserve order with
out resort to methods that
defile the traditions of free
dom. If that assumption is
correct, then we must con-
clude that Gov. Wallace places
the avoidance Of bloodshed
among his primary objec-
tives. He will be frivolous and
irresponsible, in a matter Of
this Importance, If he puts
his personal vanity or the
vanity of Alabama ahead Of
his respect for justice and
obedience to orderly proceed
ures.
But we reach a totally diff
ferent conclusion if we are
forced to believe that his mo-
tives are less innocent. The
crisis in Birmingham has not
yet passed. Is 1t a contribu-
ton to moderation, or an in
element to extremism, for
the Governor to choose this
particular moment to chal-
lenge the President and seek
to discredit the powers of the
Federal government?
1t Is not unknown In po-
litical experience that a Gov
ernor tormented with this
predicament looks for a
scapegoat whom he can
blame for all the troubles. Is
that why Gov. Wallace has
embarked upon this reckless
campaign against the Federal
government? The next few

State judiciary or local po-
lice intervene allegedly to
preserve order when a dem
onstration over constitutional
rights is involved.
In the several integration
cases decided this week, there
was no specific mention Of
the right to hire or the right
Of private schools to admit
whatever students they
please. But Justice Douglas
swept away virtually all dis
tinctions between private and
public businesses and. in ef-
feet, said there is hardly any
business that is not affected
with a public interest" and
hence 1t is subject to any
court order based on the
Fourteenth Amend m e n t,
which prohibits discrimina-
ton by reason Of race or
color.
Justice Douglas points out
that almost every business
must obtain from a State or
city a license to operate. He
might have added that this
could apply also to private
schools. for they get a tax
exemption from the Govern
ment. All this, in the legal
gobbledygook of today, is
called involvement with the
State" He adds:
But a restaurant, like the
other departments Of this
retail store where Negroes
were served, though private
property within the protec-
ton Of the Fifth Amend
ment, has no aura Of con-
stitutionally protected pri-
vacy about 1t. Access by the
public is the very reason Cor
its existence.
Business, such as this
restaurant, is still private
property. Yet there is hardly
any private enterprise that
does not feel the pinch of
some public regulation-from
price control, to health and
fire inspection, to zoning, to
safety measures, to mini
mum wages and working con-
ditions, to unemployment in
surance. -.
This restaurant Is thus
an instrumentality Of the
State since the State charges

mittee.

off deeper cuts and also block

The motion to recommit may
be voted on today but Senator
Morse was not sure the roll
could be called today on the
money items. He said the OPP
ponents will try to deepen the

mise before 1t is voted on.
II the Senate approves $S.e
billion, the final agreement
with the House probably would
bring the bill down to about

be subject to further reduction

as against 5000 million in the

The House voted only $3.50
million.
