Voodoo Man.?

Although he happens to be a medi-
cal doctor, President Francois Duvalier
has done nothing to heal the ills of
Haiti. On the contrary, over the past
six years, he has let his country drift
from bad to worse under personal die
tatorship notorious for racist demagog-
uery, administrative ineptness, wide
spread corruption and harShneSS of rule.
And now he has plunged into a SenSeless
and incendiary adventure that could
culminate in war with the Dominican
Republic.
At the moment, with the Organiza-
ton Of American States undertaking to
keep the crisis under control, the danger
OF such an explosion seems to have been
at least temporarily averted. But the
situation is subject to change without
notice. Certainly, by acting as he has
against the Dominican Embassy in Port
au-Prince, DR.. Duvalier has displayed a
degree Of recklesSness, a sort of devil
may-care impulSiveneSS, that hardly in
spires confidence in what he may do
tomorrow, or later this evening, or even
the minute after next He is a man, in
sum, who cannot be counted upon to be
level-headed, judicious, stateSmanlike or
Just plain sensible at time like this
Still, there are certain factors that
ought to have restraining influence on
him. One is that masses of his million
countrymen - more poverty-stricken
than any other people in our hemi-
Sphere-are bitterly opposed to him and
would shed no tears II he fell. Further,
since he has built up personal militia,
a sort of private thug bodyguard bigger
than the Haitian army, there is good
reason to suppose that he is rather
afraid of that army. Finally, as far as
force goes, and wholly apart from the
immense armed power that our own
country could unleash against him in a
matter of minutes, he must reckon with
the fact that the Dominican Republics
military strength-poiSed to the east of
him on the shared island Of HiSpan-
iola-is far superior to his.
In these circumstances, unless he
has become an all-out devotee of the
wild abSurditieS of voodooism's black
magic, President Duvalier, MD, should
feel impelled, urgently so, to pull back
from the position he has taken. Other
wise, in the nasty process Of what is
likely to follow, the chances are that he
will suffer shattering Humpty -Dumpty
fall, which probably would be quite good
not only for Haiti, but for all the
Americas.

Economy Buying

One of the major and, as events have
turned out, most fruitful recommenda-
tions Of the old Hoover Commission
advocated the consolidation of purchas-
ing activities in the Defense Department.
Several days ago, the Joint Economic
Committee headed by Senator Douglas
concluded a series of hearings to review
the effects of the single Defense Supply
Agency and other steps initiated along
these lines by Secretary Mcnamara.
The results are impressive. While
these programs have been under way
for only little more than year, savings
actually reflected in the defense budget
for the fiscal year 1864 amount to about
$3.50 million. In addition, Mr.. Mcnamara
expressed confidence that additional
actions now under study will increase
the rate Of savings to over $3.4 billion
annually by the end OF 1966-SavingS
considerably In excess Of the 1913 billion
which the Hoover Commission had an
ticipated might be realized from such
action. In discussing the wider ramifi-
cations OF the subject, the Secretary
also had this to say:
The basic principle that there should be
q single agency TO procure and manage COM
mon items OF supply or services for all users
is. as this committee has repeatedly pointed
out. as valid for the Government as a whole
as II is for the Department OF Defense There
fore, in our own efforts to obtain greater
efficiency through the consolidation OF COM
mon logistics support activities, we should
not restrict ourselves to Defense agencies
alone. Whenever we find that II is more
economical to use the capabilities or facilities
Of other Government agencies, with no loss
in military effectiveness. and at the same or
less cost, we should not and have not hesitated
to do so
These are encouraging words-and
they mark progress, Mr.. Mcnamara is
to be commended for taking actions now
which should have been taken long ago
to avoid waste. These efforts deserve
encouragement, and the Joint Economic
Committee and other groups should see
to 1t that they receive every assistance.

would be quite an event even without
the underlying purpose, for the bands
never have been recorded before due to
legal restrictions.
Now, thanks to RCA Victor, the
American Federation of Musicians, the
Defense Department, and many others
who donated services and waived rights,
each record sold will put 95 cents into
the Cultural Center building fund. It
all took some extraordinary wire pulling
by the center's secretary-c y-coordinator,
Jarold A. Kieffer.
So now is the time to strike up the
band. For trifling $4.98 (stereo) or
$S.98 (monauraD everyone can have q
service band in his own home. The best
idea, naturally, would be to play no
favorites, get all four bands, and let
them raise the roof for the National
Cultural Center.

Nixon 'Off Bose

Richard Nixon's criticism
Of the administrations ham
ding OF the Cuban situation
is away off base. The Presi-
dent may have missed the
boat by not following UP his
advantage after Nikita
Khrushchev agreed TO the
withdrawal Of Russian troops
and missiles, but even the
former v. p. will have to ad-
NIT the Kennedy administra-
tion did make progress, and
considerably improved our
position and prestige. In
short. we are much better off
today than we we're six
months ago.
Had Mr.. Nixon been
elected President, and faced
with the same situation, II Is
doubtful that he would have
risked a nuclear war, as indi-
Gated by his recent speech.

The Winnoh: Hoffo

Whether the public likes 1t or not
(and he couldn't care less) Jimmy Hoffa
again has erased all doubt as to who
calls the shots for the TeamSterS Union.
In typical Steamroller fashion, he has
squeezed the life out of the Mid-Atlantic
insurgents who had dared to take
stand of their own.
The occasion was a rematch of
bout held last year in which the Hoffa
forces barely won the right to continue
as bargaining representatives for four
locals, including the powerful No. lot
based in Philadelphia. There was some
rough stuff, enough so that the National
Labor Relations Board ordered another
election.
Whatever else may be said of him,
Mr.. Hoffa never has been accused Of
stupidity. Forewarned, he set up Phil
adelphia office and for IS weeks put on
a show of machine politics that would
have turned Boss Tweed green with envy.
He called in 100 business agents and put
the heat on members and their families.
AFL-CIO President George Meany spoke
out against Hoffa-and now probably
wishes he hadn't. There was not even
very much rough stuff, and Hoffa still
won by about 2 to margin.
This settles one thing: James r.
Hoffa is the undiSputed boss of the
Teamsters. He doubtless is in a stronger
position to challenge and to try to un-
dermine the established AFL-CIO lead
erShip. And If he is serious about trying
to bring all of the country's transporta-
tion facilities under control of one
union-Hoffas union-this ambition
certainly has not been discouraged by
his latest triumph.
We have thought at times that jim
my Hoffa was riding for an inevitable
fall. Now we are not so sure. And the
prospect that one day he may be riding
higher, is, to say the least, anything but
reaSSuring.

JFK in 1860

of calling Russia's bluff in
Laos. with our movement OF
troops into Thailand and our
7th Fleet off the coast OF
Laos, to force Russia to COM
ply with the "Laotian, Ge-

It seems fitting to recall
Mr.. Kennedy's campaign
speech of october is, 1850,
in Johnstown. Pa: "Mr
Nixon hasn't mentioned Cuba
very prominently in this
campaign. He talks about
standing firm in Berlin,
standing firm in the Far
East, standing up TO Khru-
shchev, but he never men,
toned standing firm in Cuba
and II you can't stand ur

pect TO stand Up to Khru-
shchev? :"

he think he's kidding?

former President Eisenhower
will determine the issue. He
and Gov. Romney hit 1t off
well together in their talks
before the Michigan election.
Gen. Eisenhower reportedly
told friends. in speaking Of

Gus number, in fact, are bored
with politics because It has
become largely an exercise in
personalities. It Is difficult
to argue against this premise.
Even the editors and publish
ers in their respective con-
ventions seemed TO prefer
glamour and personalities to
issue and principles. The
editors were not greatly en-
tertained with President
Kennedy's really superb and
logical address on the budget
and the effect of legitimate
Federal spending. or invest
ment. on local economies.
They heard out Defense
Secretary Mcnamara and
gave him a good hand. But
even though he informed
them that the Nations de-
fense was now protected by
twice as many nuclear war
heads as before. that the
military services are in good
condition. and the Polaris
fleet growing. many Of them
grumbled about a speech
with too many statistics. II
was easier TO cheer about
ringing demands for action
but not invasion--in Cuba.
The Nations economy is
improving. Business is hap

creases are expected TO be
controlled. The Kennedy
administration Is really doing

1t is by the extreme right and

the Kennedy personality re-
mains strong and appealing,

Tourist Rusk

Secretary of State Rusk has lot
of work cut out for him on his current
tour abroad. Apart from his visits to
Ankara and Teheran, he is attending
the Karachi meeting of the Central
Treaty Organization, which is made up
of Britain, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan.
True, this gathering is not expected to
be much more than routine, but it will
nonetheless have before it such delicate
and potentially explosive matters as the
growing tensions in the Middle East.
These tensions, of course, are largely
attributable to Cairo's drive for Arab
unification under President NaSser's
leadership or hegemony. 1t is mill
family emotional drive that has become
deeply disturbing not only to Israel,
but also to King Hussein's Jordan and
King Ibn Saud's Saudi Arabia. Accord
ingly, although the United States is
not member of CENTo, Mr.. Rusk can
count upon being asked some pretty
hard and searching questions about
the problem during the course of the
Karachi sessions.
Next, wholly apart from his So
called observers role at the CENTO
meeting, the touring Secretary will have
the task of seeking to promote settle
ment of the enormously entangled and
embittered KaShmir issue. This may
be asking much too much of any man,
but at least he will try. The effort
will include earnest conversations with
Pakistan's leaders, including President
Ayub, and after that he will undertake
trip to New Delhi for talks with Prime
Minister Nehru-talks that will have
to do also with Red China's threat to
India.
Finally, before he comes back home,
Mr.. Rusk will fly to Belgrade for a
meeting with President Tito of Yugo-
slavia-the first such trip by an Ameri-
can Secretary of State since John Foster
Dulles went there in 1855. The prime
subject of conversation will revolve
around Marshal Tito's assurances that
his government, despite being a Com
munist dictatorship, is neutraliSt, still
independent of Moscow, and intent upon
maintaining good relations with both
East and West while remaining nom
aligned.
During the Belgrade meeting, Mr..
Rusk presumably will tell Marshal Tito
that President Kennedy is doing every
thing he can to persuade Congress to
repeal the ban 1t imposed last year on
extending most-favored-n tariff
concessions to Yugoslavia. The ban
seems obviously ill-advised and self
defeating. But still there is some doubt
that the Senate and House will restore
TO the Executive Branch the discretion
ary power 1t ought to have here. This is
but one Of the many factors that make
the Secretary'S present travels some
thing less than a vacation or rest cure
Good luck TO him.

MAN AND THE TIMES
A Time for Sorting Ourselves Out

and a society struggles to
give form, not merely dimen-
sions, to its life.
This has little, II anything
to do with conservatism or
liberalism. 1t has to do with
reason, which the ancient
Greeks revered, and a con-
cept OF the good life" which
they institutionalized.
Reasons Subdued Protest
Today, in America. reason
is crying many halts, II only
sotto voce. In the most obvi-
Gus, measurable realm OF
natural resources. 1t cries
halt to the depletion Of water
levels in the name OF more
and more factories. 1t cries
halt to the indiscriminate
spreading Of pesticides, in the
name OF SINNER red apples.
1t cries halt to the vast use
Of barbiturates and tension
relievers in the name Of mo-
mentary nirvana. 1t cries
halt to engulfment Of us all
by more and more news"
when we can hardly grasp
the meaning Of the present
news. It's gathering instinct
is to cry halt to free immi-
grafton If this is to mean the
compounding Of tragedy.
Harlem upon Harlems. 1t
would like to cry halt to the
piling of weapon upon
weapon to kill enemies 10
times over; to the fantastic
spending for outer space
when the problem lies in
inner man and on terra
firma. Reason says that we
are overextended in foreign
places. not in terms Of our
money but in terms Of our
comprehension. and our at
tention span; reason tells us
our moral obligation to help
others cannot extend beyond
our practical capacity to do
so. Reason would cry halt to
further increases in our pop
ulation.
1t tells US that more and
more superhighways, bridges
and parking garages in the
already dense megaiopolis is
a self-defeating process; for
the automobile, thus encour-
aged to proliferate. always
saturates the temporary
margin Of space.
Reason says the 5O-mlle
hike is silly.
The trouble with America is
not hardening of the arteries.
It's trouble is merely that 1t
has grown up, reached matu-
rity. and, like the ex-athlete
of middle age, is feeling be-
wildered and annoyed.
America knows. in its sub
conscious at least, that more
bursts of "vigah" are likely
to produce nothing more
positive than a heart attack.
1t knows that what it really
wants to do, what 1t really
must do, Is to slow down and
sort itself out. For 300 years
it has been told what 1t was
going to become. Now 1t
wants to know what it is.

Boundary Bickerinu

The conflicts in political
control along the boundary
separating two such vigorous
communities as Alexandria
and Fairfax County could re-
suit in a relationship so bad
ly deteriorated that any kind
of concession on the part OF
either disputant would be I'M
thinkable. The advisory coun-
Gil on boundary problems
proposed by Supervisor Moss
would have been a strong
first step toward staving off
what might become a serious
problem.
Communities, like people,
are motivated largely by self
interest. The results Of this,
however, are not necessarily
bad. 1t often happens that
enlightened self-interest pro-
vides a healthy environment
for the citizens, where exist
ing municipal services are
being constantly improved
and new services offered as
soon as they become finan-
cially practicable.
When two such commune
ties collide, however, self-in-
terest can no longer be an
acceptable motive. Our met
ropolitan area can grow and
prosper only if each part OF
it sometimes relegates its au-
tonomy to a subordinate role,
This is particularly necessary
where land problems arise.
without an awareness OF
what the long-range goals
are, and what part each
community can play in the
achieving of these goals, we
can only end up with a net
loss If each community gains
at the expense Of its neigh
Dor.
An advisory council made
UP Of citizens from each side
Of a boundary will inevitably
contribute to the welfare Of
both sides. I, for one, was
disappointed when Super
visor Moss suggestion was
defeated.
