Matter of Fact

Joseph Kraftis November 8
article relative to the Senate
foreign aid debate incorrectly
credits me with voting for
Amendment No. 303, which
he describes as a defeat for
the Senate leadership and
the Administration. As the
Congressional Record Of No
vember 8. page 20043, clearly
records, I voted mo" rather
than AYE" on this amend
ment which carried AZ to 40.
Mr.. Kraft is an able Jour-
nalist, and I know that he
did not Intentionally misstate
the facts. I take this method
Of correcting his error be-
cause I want to lie ave no
doubt as to my support for q
strong foreign aid program.
My one essential .reserva-
ton is that I seriously doubt
the deSirability of using our
aid program to build up mill
tary establishments in power
ty-stricken countries. I would
prefer to see our aid and the
energy Of the developing
countries concentrated on
raising stan dards Of life,
education and health.
I have voted and will con-
tinue to vote for cuts in mill
tary aid while supporting q
proportionately larger eco
nomic and technical asSis-
lance program.
George McGOvern,
Senator from South Dakota

says the Senator is right and
he apologies for the error.

WINSTON CHURCHILL, THE
UANyREr MADT nnnnVIGu

WhlNOAOAN SAAOAsOAAAAAAS AAAA-
YANKEE MARLBOROUGH
by r. W. Thompson. 342 PIP.
Doubleday & Co., $5.95.
In February, 1919, Winston
Churchill would have saved
Russia from ''the foul baboon-
cry of Bolshevism" by beating
and starving her.
In 1929, he described Gan
dhi as "a seditious Middle
Temple lawyer, now posing as
a fakir Of a type well known
in the East, stridin 6 half
naked up the steps of the
Vice-Regal Palace, while he is
still organizing and conduct
ing a defiant campaign Of civ
il disobedience, to parley on
equal terms with the rep
reSentative Of the King-Em-
peror."
Churchill's tenure as Chan
cellor of the Exchequer was
disastrous. The General
Strike of 1926 was ''the oppor-
tunity for which he had
watched and waited" writes
R. W. Thompson. HE could
see it only in black and white,
a form Of war. At once he
proclaimed himself For King
and Country as though con.
fronted with revolutionaries
instead Of hungry and deSper-
ate people asking for work
and wages. =.
"ThiS was the kind Of situa-
ton in which Churchill re-
yelled, and in which he could
display his talents even to ap-
pal and alarm his friends.
Confronting him was the hon.
est and towering figure Of
Ernest Bevin, the head Of
The Dragon But it was not
King and Country against
revolution. 1t was the heart
cry of the core Of a nation, Of
men promised. a land fit for
heroes to live in ready to set
tie for wages, food and shelter
on a bare existence level"
Churchill a Romantic AutOcrat
The Churchill of Mr..
ThompSon's biography "is a
would-be autocrat of a lost
age. His attitudes above all
were romantic and sentimen-
tai. Thus his visions, whether
Of Tsarist and revolutionary
Russia, of the British Empire,
the United States, or France,
were based on romantic and
sentimental longings for a
world of grandeur that never
was, a child's world of heroes
and villains, with nothing in
between but a nurse"
The notion of Churchill as
an eternal child" a ''bril-
liant, ever-dreaming child,
whom no one ever taught to
control his imagination, or to
be disciplined. :" runs all
through Mr.. ThompSon's bio
graphy.
The child cannot tolerate
equals, all of whom he sees as

We hope that all Howard
County citizens are aware Of
the current registration pro-
gram locally and that the
turnout on Re-Registration
Day will prove that Howard
Countians value greatly the
right to vote.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Supreme Court Action UphoIds
Officials Against Employees

OF congressional enactment this
year, the two legislators feel
that final enactment by Con-
gress would come much quicker
next year If the House ap-
proved the bill in 1868. They
feel confident there are enough
votes in the House Rules Com
mittee and the House itself for
passage.
However, the great stumbling
block is conservative Chairman
Smith of the House Rules
Committee who is refusing to
take up the pay bill this year.
He isn't likely to change his
mind, despite the arguments of
MeSsrs. Udall and Olsen.
DUAL COMPENSATION =
The Houses failure to act
Monday on the dual compensa-
ton bill governing the Federal
civilian employment of retired
military personnel dashes any
chance of the measure being
enacted into law this year.
The bill had been scheduled
for action. but House leaders
decided it was too controversial
to bring up under suspension
of-the-rules. which requires a
two-thirdS vote. Consequently,
the bill will have to be cleared
by the House Rules Committee
for House action this year, and
this isn't likely.
Meanwhile, a Senate Civil
Service Subcommittee headed
by Senator Marlborough, Demo-
crat of Texas, will hold hear
ings on the dual compensation
bill starting Thursday, Deem
Der IL.
AS approved by the House
Civil Service Committee, the
bill would restrict retired mill
tary personnel from taking De-
tense Department civilian jobs
for at least six months after
their military retirement. Also,
retired regular military officers
for the first time would become
eligible for Federal civilian jobs.

RObt. Kennedy
Back at Office
By the Associated Press

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy returned today to the
job his asSaSsinated brother
gave him and President John
son asked him to keep.
The 38-year-old Attorney
General went to his Justice De-
partment office shortly before
10 am. to resume his duties as
the Nations chief law enforce
ment officer.
He has been resting with his
wife and friends in Florida
since the days following the
Staying Of President Kennedy
November %.
There was no announced
schedule for his first day back
on the job. He was carrying a
small framed picture as he en-
tered his fifth-floor office, but
observers could not see what
was in the frame.
The Attorney General CON-
tinues to be looked on by
thousands Of American Negroes
as a leading champion Of equal
rights. President johnson is ex-
pected by them to rely heavily
on Robert Kennedy in carrying
forward the civil rights pro-
gram inherited from the dead
President.
His associates predict that
Mr. Kennedy will stay on the
job through at least the near
future.
The Justice Department has
been guided for the last week
by Deputy Attorney General
Nicholas Katzenbach. Its para
mount task since the assassina-
ton has been the compilation
of an authoritative report on
that crime. How much Robert
Kennedy will involve himself
with the report-due any day
now is not known.

The Supreme Court has
upheld the right of Govern
ment officials to adjudicate
charges against employees they
themselves. brought in the first
place.
BY refusing to grant a hear
ing on an appeal from a lower
Federal court decision, the Su-
preme Court thus dismissed the
case which challenged the
right of Federal officials to act
as "accuser, prosecutor and
judge" in cases involving &C.
tons to dismiss or suspend en-
ployes.
The Air Force civilian en-
ployes involved in the Casa
helper loader-had been fired
by the lieutenant colonel in
charge Of the work project
when he failed to pick up i'm
mediately a crate which fell off
Of a truck. The employee
claimed that he was handling
another crate at the time and
wasn't able to obey the order
Immediately.
In any event. the officer who
ordered the dismissal of the
worker was the one who ruled
on the employees answer to the
charge and in effect upheld his
own action.
After the Civil Service. Com
mission and District Court here
ruled against him, the employe
took the case to the Supreme
Court. contending that the pro-
cedural rights of Government
employees to receive written nc
tice Of the charges against
them and the opportunity to
answer these charges are
meaningless if the official
making the charges also adju-
dicateS the case.
However, the Supreme Court,
by refusing to hear the case,
has upheld such practices in
Government.

/ Observing that effects Of the
treaty on NATO viii be politi-
cal rather than military, the
report adds:
THE United States hegemo-
ny IN the alliance has become
greater and this will cause
more friction. Equality at least
means consultation beforehand
also on matters Of United
States world responsibility"
The outlook is equally
gloomy on the question Of
European unity.
The creation of a European
political union is further away
than ever since the existing
Emergencies between the Euro
pean countries on this most
important fact Of foreign policy
have hardened" the report
says.
New negotiations with the
Soviet Union on other cold war
problems will increase differ
ences between major European
countries, it adds.
Then. too, as many people
have predicted, as soon as the
outside threat is diminished
the European countries will
turn back to the fatal prewar
policy Of going it alone as ma
tional states"
Not all Americans-and for
that matter not all Europeans
. would subscribe to a theory
that the United States in its
dealings with the Soviet Union
should allow itself to be ham
pered by objections of a single
ally.
What cannot be overlooked,
however, are the European SEN
sitivities toward such negotia-
tons reflected in this report.
And damage to the concept Of

the administration tries so
hard to project.

PAY CRITICISM - Now
that the Federal pay raise bill
has been stymied for the year,
Vaux Owen. president of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, urges that it be re-
committed to the House Civil
Service Committee for changes
in the pay scales the commit
tee voted for employees in the
middle grades.
Mr.. Owen referred to the
fact that employees in the mid
die grades got less Of a raise
than those in the lower
grades; in grade IL, for exam
pie, the increase amounted to
slightly less than 2 per cent.
Calling this "a glaring in
equity" Mr.. owen said the pay
compatibility principle estab-
liShed in last years Federal
pay reform law is ignored by
the bill approved by the COM
mittee.
This fragrant and unfair
distortion of the compatibility
principle which Congress
adopted in 1862 is indefensible
and does a grievous injustice to
those employees in the middle
grades who perform much of
the most responsible work of
Government" Mr.. owen said
in a letter to the House rgoup.

I'VE note with satisfaction

policy, emphasized he would

international relations and for

"As regards the Soviet Union,
it will not relax its efforts in
search of a solution to major
international problems and will
press for the further consolida-

Mr.. Khrushchev gave this
pledge at a farewell dinner In

ing President Kekkonen.
It was at the farewell dinner
that Mr.. Khrushchev voiced
his sentiments about Mr.. john
son. about Mr.. Kennedy and
about his hopes for peaceful
relations.
Il cannot but express again
my profound coincidence and
indignation at the heinous as
sassination Of President Ken
nedy whose policy on a number
Of questions facilitated a relax
alton of international tensions
and the development of rela-
tons with the Soviet Union"

Test Treaty Jars Allied Unity

arguments heard by the assem-
bly, so far is that the effect OF
the recently signed nuclear
test-ban treaty with Russia
may well be a bad one from
the point Of view Of Western
unity.
A report on the treaty and
its political and military sig
nificance was submitted by
Georg KlieSing Of West Germa-
ny, chairman Of the committee
on defense questions and arma-
ments. 1t will be debated in Ia
ter sessions of the assembly.
Motives Not Questioned
The report does not question
the motives of the United
States in signing the partial
test-ban, nor overlook possible
benefits that may result from
it What it does deplore, in
strong terms, is the fact that
the treaty was negotiated with
out consultation among the al
lies. And since opinion about
the treaty in Western Europe is
divided it cannot be expected
to promote allied unity.
Mr.. Kliesing notes that dur
ing the teSt-ban negotiations
mo consultation took place in
any Of the numerous European
bodies; neither did any take
place in the Atlantic frame
work. Several of the principal
European allies of the United
States were informed of the de-
tails of the treaty negotiations
only at a very late date or not
at all, he added.
This procedure is very diff
cult to reconcile with the con-
cept of partnership on which
the United States Government
has made such important pro-
nouncements.
Effects Seen Political
Especially in the case of
France relations are not what
they have been for many years.
The ratification of the test-ban
treaty in opposition to the poll
cy of the French government
will certainly aggravate an al
ready dangerous divergence of
opinion"
