they might be setting and
the problems Of members
from industrial areas who

This Congress has shown
an infinite capacity for de-

willing to guess when civil

A quarrel is going on be-

some Of its congressional
supporters over which should
come first. the tax bill or
civil rights.
But with that August 20
deadline, barring the great
luck Of q settlement, q de-

Compared to the way q
majority Of Congress feels
about the Presidents railroad
bill, his civil rights legisla-
ton is wildly popular. The
fact seems to be that al
though collective bargaining

ing legal remedies are ex-
hausted, nobody has yet
come up with q solution
which politicians view as adj
missable, given the problems
Of their own trade.

whether they had any real
relationship to nuclear test
ing.
1t is being argued in behalf
Of the administration that
any one of the depositary
governments named in the
nuclear-ban pact = Great
Britain, the Soviet Union and
the United States-can refuse
to accept the instrument OF
ratification Of any state"
and thus bar its accession to
the treaty. The words Of the
agreement itself. however, do
not indicate any such veto
exists. The treaty says that it
is open to all states for
signature" and provides that
their instruments of ratifica-
ton shall enter into force"
on the very day that they are
deposited with the depositary
governments.
The net result Of all this Is
to put the United States in
the position Of recognizing
the violation Of the Potsdam
Agreement and accepting
East Germany as q state. It
could raise soon the question
Of how any military rights
can be maintained under the
allied agreement Of 1945. It
paves the way for the an
nezation Of West Berlin by
the Communists as an inte-
grail part Of the new Estate"
East Germany.
The nuclear treaty itself
can be dissolved at any time
on three months notice when
cheating Is suspected or for
any other reason. But accept
ance Of Soviet aggression and
the continued military occu-
patton Of East Germany by
honoring an East German
signature on the new treaty
hardly represents q victory
for mankind" as President
Kennedy jubilantly charac-
terized the same treaty Just
a few days ago.
Moral issues seem to have
been brushed aside. The So
Wet Union maintains her
armies in many countries in
Eastern Europe and her sub
versive organizations that
cause disturbances and in
filtrate Governments on every
continent. How can any
State" be accepted as an
honorable partner in the
signing Of q treaty when the
people themselves are still
enslaved?

Sooner or later the trickery
In the treaty banning GER
tain nuclear tests was bound
to emerge, but 1t was hardly
expected to become evident
SO quickly. For the stratagem
by which the United States
and the other Western
powers are to be inveigled
into a recognition Of the
puppet government Of East
Germany has just been re-
vealed. Walter Ulbricht,
head Of the East German
Com unist regime, an
nounces. that East Germany
will sign the treaty after it
has been formally signed by
the United States, Great
Britain and the Soviet Union.
A United Press International
dispatch from Berlin says:
THE East German sigma
ture Of the treaty could en-
barTass West Germany and
the Western allies because
they do not recognize East
Germany. They would be in
the position of being sigma
tory to q pact along with a
nation they do not wish to
deal with. East Germany
would be sure to consider
this q measure Of de facto
recognition"
But the significance goes
beyond a mere technicality.
1t advertiSes dramatically to
the world the acceptance of
East Germany as a partner in
international agreements with
the West. Senator Everett
M. Dirksen, Republican leader

this very step when on Tues

House first rejected q $73 mil

time Philippine President Mag

visit to the United States.
Sharp Disagreement
Whether or not Congress
hears further protests from the
Philippines. repercussions seem
likely to result from sharp dis
agreement between House and
Senate over the way the COM
promise version came to the
House.
1t came as an amendment to
q previously passed House bill
authorizing about $40 million
for construction and repair Of
United States Foreign Service
buildings throughout the world.

Congress hopes 1t has seen
the last Of the Philippine war
damage claims bill but fears it
will hear echoes Of the many
pronged controversy.
House adoption Of a compro-
mise version yesterday sent the
legislation to the White House.
This finally opened the way
for payment Of $73 million
which Congress appropriated
last year to settle remaining
war damage claims by indi-
viduals and corporations In the
Philippines.
But the revised legislation
fixed major restrictions and
guidelines on how the money
should be distributed. 1t banned
use Of any Of the funds TO pay
fees or commissions TO any
former member Of the Philip
pine War Damage Claims Com
mission.
This applied directly to John
A. O'Donnell. Washington
lawyer-l lobbyist. A Senate COM
mittee reported earlier this
year that Mr.. O'Donnell stood
to receive fees totaling $500, 900
for his lobbying and legal work
in recent years for the claims
settlements.
$4,000 Ceiling
The compromise measure
also set O $4,000 limit on the
amount any individual claim
ant could receive. Sponsors OF
the compromise said the orig
inal legislation would have re-

A daughter, Lucille ClOre Somerville, also

rooms and four baths, filled to overflOwing
with custombuilt furniture.
One of the big differences between this

ClOre and Hawkins factory does not sell on
an individual basis. They sell on a contract
basis to stores equipment companies and the
