Steel Prices
WAqlkGIoN SAL

It is not against any law
that I know of for any
company engaged in any le-
gal activity to raise prices
so long as there is no COL
lusion. Why then does a steel
company have to keep a
frightened eye on the White
House as 1t considers higher
prices?
Commenting on the Wheel
ing Steel Co.'S announced Sc
lective price increase. the
President said:
"Selective price adjust
ments up or down. as
prompted by changes in sup
ply and demand as opposed
to across the board in
creases. are not incompati-
BILE with the framework Of
general stability, and are
characteristic Of any healthy
economy"
There is no Government
price or wage control in the
steel industry or any other
industry contrary to the
Presidents implication. He
has no authority to impose
price control on either.
If there is need for price
or wage controls. it is up to
Congress to impose them and
to lay down ground rules.
Since Congress hasn't done
that, one cannot understand
why the President acts as If
he had the power to impose
them by executive whim.
The market place is the
proper regulator of prices. It
is by no means certain that
the recent increase in prices
of steel can be made to stick
under competitive pressure.
However, that is for the
market to determine, not the
President. He ought to keep
his nose out of such things.
The steel industry or any
other non monopolistic in
dustry has the right. the
legal and moral right. to test
the market at will. Some one
Of the Presidents many ad-
visers should so inform him.
Every industry ought to be
free to operate without IL
legal pressure being applied
by the White House.

Until two years ago We
thought that the Monroe
Doctrine was q Maginot
Line for the defense Of this
hemisphere against the ag-
greSsive march Of COM
munism. But the Soviet pres
ence in Cuba has made this
doctrine obsolete. and has
defied us In the teeth Of
our military might. Today
Cuba has become a challenge
to our hemisphere safety,
and is bristling with all kinds
of intrigues and conspiracies
which aim at the overthrow
Of all the regimes in Latin
America. 1t is the duty OF
every American to be on con-
slant guard against the perils
of international communism
which is 80 miles away from
our shores. On us lies the
sacred duty not only TO de-
fend this country from this
menace, but all the free gov
ernments Of Asia. Africa and
Latin America.
Some months ago we
formed the Council for Free
dom and Democracy. o nom
profit corporation in WASH
ington which has a number
Of prominent members Of
Congress on It's board. The
objectives Of our council
are TO impress upon the
countries Of Asia, Africa and
Latin America the bene-
fits and accomplishments Of
the democratic way Of life,
and TO warn them against
the alien and totalitarian
doctrines which are likely
to impede their economic
development. In doing so
not only do we win the
friendship OF the newly In
dependent countries but we
also strengthen the frontiers
OF our democracy.
Though we know every
patriotic American is against
communism, we would like
TO hear from your readers
who are eager 10 act with
US In these positive steps
against communism. With
their help we can build an
effective American organiza-
ton that will constructively
assist in meeting the chal-
lenge OF communism on all
fronts and ell continents.

DelOIC JIlc JTdglC loss Oh
the Thresher and her crew
Of 129 highly trained and
dedicated men are forgotten,
it might be we'll to reflect on
one merciful aspect of this
tragedy. Since the Thresher
was at sea when the House
Armed Services Committee
released its version of a mill
tary pay bill, it is probable
the crew died without knowl-
edge of the low order of con-
sideration given their needs
by the Congressmen respon-
sible for their well-being.
Mercifully, they died without
knowing that the committee
had recommended further
cuts in a proposed Defense
Department military pay bill
which was grossly inadequate
from its inception.
Had they lived, the men Of
the Thresher would have
been told in effect that they
would not be permitted to
participate on an equal basis
with civilians in the advanc-
ing well-being of the Amer
ican people. Even though
Civil Service workers, for
eign service officers and
postal employees have received
two generous pay increases
since 1858, a third has been
approved and will be effec-
tive in January, 1864. and the
President is calling for a
fourth increase to correct
inequities" In civilian pay:
military personnel are told
that they will have to wait
until October. 1868. or later
for their first pay increase
in five years. Further they
are being told that budget
considerations preclude the
use Of the same criteria for
evaluating their salary needs
as were used in determining
salary scales for the Govern
ment's civilian workers. Their
pay requirements have be-
come a political footballl
The men who sail in our
Polaris Fleet, those who
guard the fences in Guam
tanamo. the wall in Berlin,
and those engaged in daily
mortal combat In Wet Nam
are told in effect that they
should not aspire to send
their children to college; that
a petty officer with 20 years
service should be content
with less salary than a be-
ginning fireman or police
man, that a major or the
commanding officer of a
proud and complex ship like
the Thresher should not ex-
pect to be paid as much as a
truck driver.
No one questions the ne
ceSsity for this Nation to
maintain the strongest mill
tary forces in the world. We
have such forces now and
our military might is based
on two essential elements
the most effective weapons
systems that our technology
can provide, plus the intelli-
gent and dedicated men who
have the ability and will to
employ these weapons If the
necessity arises. We will not
have the second essential ele-
ment OF our military strength
II Congress fails to provide
military personnel with SAL
aries comparable to those
paid civilian Government
employees. The men who now
guard the ramparts cannot
afford, and they are much
too proud To continue in q
career where they are pre-
cluded from sharing in the
rising standards Of living Of
the American people.

Emergence Of Richard
Nixon from that limbo to
which he heatedly and for
ever consigned himself at the
hour Of defeat by CALIFORNIA;
Pat Brown is not without
meaning. Mr.. Nixon is think
ing. He may be dreaming no
dreams-at least not yet. But
he Is looking ahead.
Mr.. Nixon rode a horse
named Castro into the meet
ing Of editors in Washing
ton. lie and Senator Heating
and Gov. Rockefeller appar-
emily are patronizing the
same rental stable.) Using
this horse as a rostrum, Mr..
Nixon failed the administra-
tion's Cuban policy. He
wanted action. True enough.
he backed down later when
asked II he wanted invasion.
He did not. He wanted TO
do q vague thing called
whatever is necessary"
Neither Senator Heating
nor Gov. Rockefeller want
invasion. They want action.
But the suspicion grows that
what they really want Is po-
litical action. President Ken
nedy has a policy. but 1t Is
hardly reasonable to demand
that he tell either Mr.. Cas-
tro or Mr.. X what 1t is. The
facts are that Mr.. ks policy
isn't working we'll at home or
in Cuba. And 1t may be that
the Kennedy policy is moving
along according TO plan. Time
will tell. 1t always does.
So what we are seeing at
work is what Prof. Mac
Gregor Burns calls politics by
personality. Mr.. Nixon is de-
manding that both Senator
Goldwater and Gov. Rock
efeller prove themselves in
the California primary Of
1854. Mr.. Nixon knows this
would be a bloody affair In
which the two contenders
would be badly chewed and
mauled. II that should hap
pen. a lot OF people In the
O. o. p. might begin TO think
again OF Mr.. Nixon. There
still is another possibility
which. one hears, is on Mr..
Nixon's mind. II Gov. Rocke-
feller's personal problems
should contribute 10 an un-
willingness OF the party lead
ers to accept him, they. too.
might be reminded that Mr..
Nixon still Is around and
available. II called.
Re-Establishing Himself
Mr.. Nixon's necessary task
after having so finally and
irrevocably removed himself
last November was TO re-es-
tablish himself as a political
personality. The easiest way
TO do that today is TO ride the
Cuban horse. II is true. as
Mr.. Nixon senses. that Gov.
Rockefeller's political CLAM
our has become somewhat
dulled. II may become even
more so. Michigan's Gov.
George Romney has caught
on we'll with many Amer
leans, but so far. at least, re-

InlS, I'M AFRAID, is q SnOrJ-
range arrow aimed only in
the general direction Of a
long-range target.
1t is part Of the unsorted
impedimenta left over from
recent travels. No one can
visit modern Greece without
re-visiting ancient Greece
through Its written classics,
and no one can do that with
out looking, Of a sudden. at
his own society with differ
ent, II not wiser, eyes.
It is an absurdly long jump
from the golden age Of Peri
clean Greece and the reasons
for its failure in the end, to
the New Frontier Of John F.
Kennedy and the reasons for
its failure in the beginning.
II there is any connection, it
is to be found only in gen.
eral thoughts about the social
biology Of nations.
The thought here is that
the United States has reached
middle age as a nation,
knows this in its bones but
not explicitly in its mind and
therefore does not reflect 1t in
its speech, including the pro-
grams of political leaders.
The familiar explanation
for his Governments failure
TO climb the steep passes OF
the New Frontier Is not
enough-the simple argument
that Congress balks and that
1t balks because the mood OF
the country, which the Con-
gress and election statistics
accurately reflect, favors no
great exertions. The argu-
ment adds that the American
people have always behaved
this way, between wars and
between depressions.
They have, but to be con-
tent with this explanation is
to explain modern America
only in terms Of the short
range cycle OF years and dec
ades. Yet q case can be
made for the proposition
that a long-range cycle OF
generations and centuries is
also at work, that the. evi-
dence for it is now abundant
and can explain even such
transient phenomena as the
fate Of the New Frontier.
Youth Knows
All previous American gen.
erations have considered
their country as synony-
nous not only with perpetual
motion but with perpetual
youth. The youth Of today,
even more than their elders,
know better. even II they
can't express it. They know
that quantities have little to
do with qualities. that our
traditional slogan Of bigger
and better" is a non-Sequitur
The essence of middle-age
for q person is that he knows
he must begin to live within
his means, physical. finan-
cial and spiritual. 1t is the
same for a society. At middle
age a person struggles to
realize his final personality
