COMEWHAT like an anxious mother, the
- Peace Corps pleads with its children-its
1000 volunteers to send home letters about
life in the field.
From its headquarters at 8O6 Connecticut
avenue NV, continual queries 60 out to the
hard-worked young men and women abroad:
How are your clothes holding up?" "How's
your health? Do the pills work." Describe
your students; What do you miss the most?"
How do you feel about the Peace Corps now?"
And like dutiful children, the PCV's-as
they are known in official Washington
back detailed accounts of their strange life in
strange places. Some do it with more enthusi-
asm than others.
Eschewing the formality of other bureau
cratic reports, the Peace Corps uses a rather
familiar style. From the field, the volunteers
often call one another and their superiors by
first names, even referring to director Sargent
Shriver as Sarge"
Although it means added paper work, the
Peace Corps encourages this free and easy

Dick RusseIFs Need

Thirty years in the Senate Of the
United States must be equivalent to
several lifetimeS spent in more prosaic
pursuits. Few have had the opportunity
Of serving in that exclusive establish
ment for three decades, and even fewer
have served with the distinction of
Richard B. Russell of Georgia.
Who should know this better than
the men with whom Senator Russell has
shared the ever more complex duties of
legislating? Some of them who have
watched him in the Senate remembered
his 30th anniversary with appropriate
remarks on the floor With Characters
tic modeSty, Senator Russell called such
encomiumS weakness" of the Senate,
but confessed he felt better as result.
Those who have followed the courtly
gentleman through the years, particular
ly as chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, are convinced that every
compliment was deserved Besides his
far-Sighted safeguarding of the Nations
military destiny, Senator Russell has
been the farmers best friend in much
legislation. Most colleagues regard him
as the final word in parliamentary law.
"He acts with calmneSS and kindness"
said Majority Leader Mansfield. HE can
act with fiery tenacity. But always he
acts with reason and deliberation, with
modesty, and with ScrupulouS fairness.
He asks for no quarter that he does not
grant to any other Senator in the great
legislative battles of our time"
But Senator DirkSen probably
summed 1t up most Succinctly when he
said: when the Senator from Georgia
speaks, he knows what he is saying and
why he is saying it."

the soldier-president added that If "our
friends" britain and the United States)
see to it that his country's safety is not
newly endangered there should be no
necessity of changing our stand"
Certainly If we expect loyalty from
an ally, we must give it in return. We
have had 1t from PakiStan, and it is not
being withdrawn simply because General
Ayub and the PakiStani press are an
noyed and are frank enough to say so.

Beyond the Headlines

There was a more-sorrow- -than-an-
ger tone about Pakistan President Ayub
Khan's recent comment that his coun-
try's future role in two anti-CommuniSt
alliances has become quite uncertain"
in the light of British American mill
tary aid to India. His reasoning, as set
forth in a recorded interview with an
American Broadcasting Company cor
respondent, is that this strengthening
OF India poses more of threat to Paki-
stan than to Red China and that the
added defense burden upon his own
forces would make their contribution to
any alliance effort very difficult"
This has been the Pakistani point
Of view, OF course, from the moment of
our first affirmative response to India's
appeals for military assistance against
Chinese aggression. 1t is founded In the
fact that for years India has faced the
bulk and the best OF its fighting forces
against PakStan in the disputed Kash-
mir territory, and there has been no
evidence OF any meaningful shifting OF
these forces to the India-C China fronts.
AT the same time, no real progress was
reported In brief renewal OF india
Pakistan negotiations on Kashmir, al
though further meetings are scheduled
next week.
With all this, the headline-making
part of General Ayubs interview should
not be taken completely out Of context.
He was equally specific, or even more
so, in saying that he could not visualize
his country moving from pro-Western
attitude to one Of joining the so-caled
neutralist or nonaligned bloc. Actually,
Pakistan has been fortnight and stout
In It's anti-Communist position and It's
association with both CENTo and

The Sorry Record

There is a remarkable range of
agreement among liberals, conservatives
and middle-of -of-the-roaders, in govern
ment and out that the present Federal
tax structure is inequitable and oppres-
sive upon the economy, and that it
should be eased This all-inclusive COM
pany is deeply divided, however, on one
important condition, namely, whether
tax relief should be accompanied by
spending restraint We think 1t should
be, even though the "tip" is out that
the administration is coming up with
an all-time, peace or war, record budget
Of nearly $100 billion for fiscal 1864.
There are articulate spokesman on
both sides Of this issue, and a promise
Of continuing debate-in and out Of
CongreSs-for months to come. One of
those who has spoken up in recent days
Is Senator Lausche, the independent
minded Democrat from Ohio, through
the medium of letter to H. Ladd Plum
ley, president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. LauSche
as usual, does not quibble, and it is
his opinion that tax reduction without
parallel reductions in spending "can
only lead to economic chaos" Mr..
Lausche believes in an old fashioned
principle that you cannot unendingly
keep spending more than you take in
without going to the poorhouse." We
agree, except there is not even a poor
house to give a nation refuge.
1t is not news, but Mr.. Lausche
cites a sorry record of Federal fiscal
management in modern times. 1t is, in
brief: ~ Deficits in 26 of the last 33
years; (2) drop in the purchasing
power of the dollar from 100 cents in
1941 to IS cents in 1852; (3) an increase
in the national debt from $269.4 billion
at the end of World War II to S298 bill
lion last year-and to more than $500
billion today; az the lack of foreign
confidence in the dollar that has led
short-term creditors abroad to demand
gold in place of our paper money; (5)
the upending Of an administration eSti-
mate of $500-million surplus this year
and in its place a current forecast Of
S7.8-billion deficit, plus the near GER
tainty of another deficit in fiscal 1864
The pressures for bigger and bigger
Federal spending have become so awe
some as to intimidate many probably
the majority, in Congress. 1t is fortunate
that there are some who have the cour-
age to speak their minds against this
dangerous responsibility. At some
point, their courage and their better
sense may still be catching.
