Soviet Scarcity

1t is remarkable that the Soviet
press has come out with stories assuring
the Russian people that mo hunger is
threatening u.s." This suggests that
there has been kind of panic over
there. Among other things there has
been boarding of bread and an excess
sive slaughtering of livestock because of
a want of fodder.
Obviously the Soviets are in serious
agricultural trouble. Hence their huge
purchase of wheat from Canada and
their current negotiations with us for
similar deal RuSSia'S man in the street,
If he has any awareneSS Of what is going
on, must be beginning to understand
that his collectivized farming is gravely
deficient and that his country, perhaps,
should emulate America, which has the
problem of massive surplus rather than
scarcity.
Nikita KhruShchev talks a great
deal about Soviet wonders in space, but
he is always confronted with down-to-
earth food troubles AS population keeps
on looming, this is a weakness in the
USSR that may yet be its undoing re-
CARELESS of what happens in the high
heavens.

Pushing the Buttons

70 George Meany talked seriously
about a serious problem in his address
to the AFL-CIO His analysis of auto
nation, which promises to become the
Nations No. l dilemma in the years
ahead, was impressive. But his Sug-
gested remedies would be Self-defeating.
There is not the slightest doubt
that machines will do more and more
of the work which in the past has been
done by men. Mr.. Meany speaks Of this
as a Course to society" We disagree
But before long, perhaps in five or 10
years, the problem posed by men whose
Jobs have been taken over by machines
will have become extremely difficult
It must be solved and the solution will
call for much effort, wisdom and re-
Straint.
Industry'S plans for expansion, Mr..
Meany said, are staggering" And they
will provide more and more for ma
chimes to push buttons on other
machines, even eliminating the human
element there" In fact, said the ALL
CIO president, competent technologiStS
Che did not name them) think that in
few more years all the production
needed will be furnished by less than
Is percent of the manpower in the
Nation
If this is even approximately cor
rect, nature cannot be permitted to take
its course. Men will have to take hold
of this problem and find the answers
before 1t becomes unanSwerable. This
new industrial revolution, which will
dwarf that which has gone before, (Mr.
Meany comedies that the system which
is now being phaSed out has brought
more benefits to those who work for
wages than any other system on earth')
will have to be managed. The problem
simply cannot be allowed to drift in the
vain hope that, somehow, it will go
away.
Mr. Meany proposed a number of
steps, all of which would increase costs.
Perhaps, as a union leader, he had to
say such things. But higher costs, as
Labor Secretary Writ told the meeting.
would tend to curtail markets and still
further reduce jobs
OOuDGlCoo olIOI JCI WOIh WCch III
industry will come. But it must come
under conditions which, instead Of i'm
posing higher costs, will permit lower
costs. For the future of the United
States in this new industrial age, and
this certainly applies to those who work
for wages as we'll as to everyone else,
can only be good future If we are able
to produce more and sell more. The
tendency to price ourselves out of mar
kets, tendency which is already we'll
under way in some areas as a result of
increased wage costs that have not been
offset by increases in productivity, must
be curbed. Mr.. Meany, of course, didn't
mention this, and 1t is by no means the
whole answer to the problem of auto
nation. But it is an important part of
the answer and we will ignore 1t at our
peril

CHEEKY Sir Alec

After having renowned all his
titles as peer of the realm, Sir Alec
DeuglaS-Home, Britain'S new Prime
Minister, now has a seat in the House
of Commons. He has attained it, fair
and square, by winning the recent by
election in the Scottish constituency Of
KinroSS- West PerthShire.
True, this is one of the ConServa-
tive Party'S Sure-bet political bailiwickS.
But Sir Alec'S victory-giving him over
81 per cent of the votes CASTS re-
garded by the Tories as especially en-
couraging because he has won it so
emphatically against six opponents,
three more than have usually run
there. The Laborite candidate, Incl
dentally, did substantially less we'll
than his predecessor in the last Kin
ross contest.
However, as an offset to this,
the Conservatives suffered vinegar
and-gall defeat in the prospecting city
of Luton. AS a result they have lost
this important constituency, which is
near London, to the Labor Party, and

Better Than Nothinu

In order to get his tags the Mary
land motoriSt is supposed to carry liabil-
ity insurance. If he doesn't, he is sup
posed to pay $40 year into a special
fund. This fund is used to reimburse
drivers who suffer damages in accidents
with uninsured motorists.
That is the State law But the fund
is getting into deeper trouble all the
time. Currently it is running a So
million deficit And of the $4,000 Mary
landerS estimated to be driving today
without liability insurance, officials say
that only about 1000 have paid the $40
penalty fees.
How do they get away with it? One
way, according to State official, is that
a good number of drivers make token
payments on insurance policies in order
to get their tags-then cancel the in
Surance. In time, the insurance COM
panieS notify the State. But with can
collation. notices (many Of which are for
legitimate reaSonS) coming in at the
rate of between 10000 and $4,000 a
month it is almost impossible to re-
possess the license plates as fast as the
owners become uninsured"
Obviously the purpose Of the law is
not being served, and the Maryland
Legislature should get on top of this
situation Immediately. Any law under
which such fragrant violations are pos
sible is disgrace.
Even so, however, the situation in
Maryland is better than in Washington.
At least the innocent Maryland motorist
is assured some measure of protection.
In WaSnington-where there is no un-
insured motoriSt law-there is no pro-
lection at ALL And the District govern
ment has yet to send Congress a bill
which would fill the vacuum.
The main reason for delay, it is
true, is that the District lawyers at
work on the bill are trying to avoid Just
such pitfalls as are plaguing Maryland
and a great many other States, for
that matter. Their goal is commendable.
But this offers no consolation to the
responsible District motoriSt who,
through no fault of his own, gets stuck
with hefty repair bill after an accident
today. Up to now, the Commissioners
have shown monumental disintereSt
in the whole business. They should wake
Upright now-and get this important
legislation moving.

End of q Honeymoon

A few days ago Senator Morse found
himself in warm agreement with Star
editorial. This must have surprised the
Senator from Oregon, since he is not
given to agreeing with Star editorials
Certainly it surprised us, even though
we heartily approve Of the general posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Morse on foreign aid
But this mutual admiration society
could not possible last for long. Such a
thing just couldn't be in the cards. And
this honeymoon, we suspect, is ending
right now.
An organization known as the Po-
licemen'S Association put out a state
ment the other day accusing Senator
Morse Of speaking with what Tonic, as
we remember our Lone Ranger days,
called forked tongue. The statement
said the Senator praised the local police
three years ago, but was now abiding
to them as Gestapo or something of
that sort. A Morse aide, who must have
earned his Phi. D. in understatement,
announced that the Senator might
have some comment" later on.
Well, Senator Morse has seen fit to
comment-and not in a few words.
Furthermore, he has given assurance
that at later date he intends to con-
duct an "in-depth" investigation of the
police department and all its works.
This could be the ordeal to end all
ordealS Our heart goes out to Chief
Murray and his brave men. Sometimes
we find ourselves wondering which is
their heavier cross-crime in Washing
ton or the Senator from Oregon.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Is. 1863

the Labor Party has hailed the event
as yet another sure sign that it will
win the next general election. This
is more than possible But Sir Alec,
if only for appearances sake, begs to
differ and is taking a CHEEKY view Of
the outlook.
Thus the Prime Minister is telling
everybody that he is completely con-
fident that the Conservatives will win
again in the next general election. The
LaboriteS, he admits, have scored in a
number Of by-elections, but not by any
sensational margins. And he thinks that
when the national test takes place lit
must be held no later than next Oc-
tober), they will suffer a rude awaken
ing.
This may be a kind of whiStling
in the teeth of the wind. But Sir Alec
has several months in which to re-
vitalize the Conservative Party and
get his own personality across to the
British people. If he succeeds in that
respect, his present avowed optimism
may we'll be indicated. In any event,
the historical fact is that Britains by
elections, like similar American local
contests, are by no means certain har-
bingerS Of a nationwide mood on issues
that transcend localities and embrace
the whole world.
Considered in that context, Sir
Alec'S cheerinesS may make more sense
than 1t seems to at first glance.

UNITED NATION

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
In 1860 India was the
. accepted leader of the Asian
African group in the U. N.
Today India is not. Three
years is but the briefest of
times in the history of ma
lions. Yet, even in so limited
a time change can be sub
stantial.
Those fond Of oversimpli-
fication speak today of the
Afro-Asian bloc in the United
Nations. True, enough, it
numbers more than half the
U. N. membership. But,
actually, there is no such
force save, perhaps, on a
colonial issue. Even then it
is not always possible to OBJ
tain complete solidarity of
those so glibly Jumped to-
gether.
The Asian states tend to be
more matured and Sophisti-
Gated. They began to
achieve independence ahead
of the Africans. Under colo
nialism they had more OPP
portunity to gain experience
in foreign affairs than did
the Africans.
Because of this, the ASians
tend to be more moderate on
colonial issues. They also are
far more "neutraliSt" than
the Africans. There are ex-
ceptions, of course, since
some of the AsianS are mem
bers Of Western defense
agreements. Even so, they
are strongest in advancing
nom alignment.
Africans Neutralist
The new African nations
are, in general, more under
standing of Western view
points than are the Asians,
unless the issue is one Of
colonialism. In this they are
almost fanatic and compul-
sive in reaction. But the
African states are not anti
West. Even those that a few
years ago were admittedly so
Guinea and Mali, for ex-
ample-are now proceeding
as neutralists.
Today's historian, fasci-
mated by the abundance and
magnitude of problems and
decisions, watches with a sort
of hypnotic fascination the
development of the vast con-
tinent that is Africa. Will it,
in the passing of years, be-
come a united continents
parliament of nations, or a
union of states with a CEN
trail government?
The immediate reaction is
a negative wagging of a
thoughtful head. 1t seems
unlikely, even impossible.

THE POLITICAL MILL
GoIdwoterites Growing FESTIVE
By GOULD LINCOLN

ination viii 90 either to Gov.
Rockefeller or to Senator
Goldwater. They say that If
the Senator should decline to
run, the nomination would
go to the Governor virtually
by default. They feel the bat
tie lines are hardening; that
there will be no compromise.
The idea that should the
national convention become
dea blocked the delegates
would turn to former Vice
President Nixon Is, in their
opinion, a fiction not based
on fact. One Of the most as
tute and one of the most
high ranking among these
leaders described to this cor
respondent a Nixon nominal
tion-if it should occur
as a gesture of futility." He
does not believe that Mr..
Nixon would have any more
chance of carrying New York
or Pennsylvania or New Jer-
sey against President Kenne-
dy than he had in 1860. He
does not believe Mr.. Nixon
would have any more chance
of carrying California than
he had in 1862.
GOldwater Possibilities
Senator Goldwater, If he
should decide not to become
a candidate for President,
will have a spot to land. He
can run again for the Senate
and, in all probability, win.
He has said he will not run
for both offices as Vice Pres
ident Lyndon Johnson Of
Texas did in 1860. But he
also said that he intends to
file for a senatorial nominal
ton, and the filing deadline
for such a nomination comes
before the Republican Ma
tional Convention meets In
San Francisco July 13.
The Arizona prim airy for
the nomination Of senatorial
candidates comes during the
second week Of September.
Senator Goldwater would
have ample time to make a
campaign for reelection to
the Senate If he fails SHOULD
he become a candidate for
President) to win the Repub-
lican nomination In San
Francisco. This fact adds to
the puzzlement Of some Of
the Goldwater-for- President
supporters. Also, no other
Republican in Arizona has
shown any signs yet Of seek
ing the senatorial nomina-
ton. Either they do not be-
lieve Senator Goldwater will
be a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination or they
do not believe that he can
win such q nomination but
will run for the Senate. In
any case, they are waiting
for the Senator to make an
announcement.
Another thing that puzzles
some Of the Goldwater sup
porters is the way the Arizona
Senator has been shooting
from the hip. taking posi-
lions on United States mem
bership in the United Ma
tions, rig h t-to-work laws,
and foreign aid issues which
may antagonize many Repub-
lican voters.

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
Forces Behind Afro-Asion Bloc
By RALPH McGLLL

There are Arab govern
ments about the Mediter-
ranean from Casablanca to
Cairo. Tied to them by reli-
gious backgrounds are the
Moslem states that reach
across Africa into Nigeria
with its strong Moslem popu-
lation in its northern region.
Continents Groups
The Sub-Sahara states
reach all the way down to
the Portuguese colony Of
poetic name, Mozambique.
The background of these
states reflect British rule and
French with, here and there,
a flavor left over from the
days when the Kaisers Of
Germany had African COL
onies. The largest number
have French ties and many
still receive subsidies from
Paris-the Ivory Coast, Togo
and Dahomey, to name but
three.
So late as a year ago the
African states were divided
into three groups - the
Casablanca Six, the Brazza-
vile Group, and the Mon
rovia Group. Together they
counted 80 members.
But just last spring the
Adds Ababa conference at
tracted 80 African nations
that voted to disasSociate
themselves from these three
groups and to form an Or
ganization of African States.
Even before this decision,
the Casablanca Six had
fallen apart. Morocco. Mali,
and Guinea had moved away
from Russia. Algeria has as
ISOLATED herself with the
United Arab Republic and is
receiving Soviet tanks and
arms - believed moved there
from Cuba.
Today it is a determination
to break South Africa's harsh
racial rules that gives them
unity. Otherwise, we watch
the immutable laws of
change and events at work
In each.

HeStlVe hepuDncanS In the
Goldwater camp-and there
are more and more Of them
as the weeks go by-are
saying privately, and here
and there openly. the time
has come when the Arizona
Senator should fish or cut
bait. They want to know
whether Senator Goldwater
Is to become q candidate for
the 1854 Republican presi-
Dental nominatio or
whether he will pull the rug
from under tn cir feet, as
Gov. Ro ckefeller of New
York pulled the rug from I'M
der the feet Of many of his
political supporters late In
December. 1859. It's an I'M
comfortable situation for
many who today are working
hard to bring about a Gold
water nomination. A good
many of them have stuck out
their political necks for the
Senator-and should he
decline to be a candidate,
they. would have a tough
time finding some place to
light.
These Goldwater support
ers say they believe the Arizo-
ma Senator will throw his hat
in the ring-but they also
say they have been given no
firm commitment. This is
true in New Hampshire and
Iowa, in California and in
New York. Furthermore, they
believe that an announce
ment now would greatly
strengthen Senator Goldwa-
ter's apparent lead in the
race. A January announce
ment, they say, would be a
little late. The Senator. how
ever, has continued to BATTLE
them by sticking to a 1864
announcement of his plans
and no earlier.
Governor Keeps at II
In the m e a ntime, Gov.
Rockefeller-the only candi-
date really in the race to-
days getting all tn e
headlines. Further, he is
demonstrating again his
ability as a campaigner. The
shots he is aiming at Senator
Goldwater are calculated and
are doing the Senator no
good-nor, presumably, the
Republican Party. While all
the polls are showing Sena-
tor Goldwater leading II he
goes into the New Hampshire
primary, where Senator Cot

his support, Gov. Rockefel-

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May IS.
There were signs this week
that forces for moderation on
the racial issue in Alabama
are getting bolder despite the
militant stand taken by Gov.
George Wallace against any de-
segregation.
A group Of white business
men who had negotiated a set
tlement with Negroes on de-
mands to desegregate Birming-
ham store facilities finally re-
vealed their names. Earlier,
they had refused to identify
themselves because of fear of
reprisals.
They turned out to be more
than 10 top officials of the
Birmingham areas business
and industrial life, the en-
ployers of rs per cent Of all
workers in the area.
The two Birmingham daily
newspapers supported the ne
gotiators and blasted efforts by
arch-segregationists to scuttle
the still-shaky agreement.
Honorable Step"
Said the Birmingham News:
1T is an honorable as
well as practical step to-
ward saving Birmingham from
more unrest and new threat of
violence by persons of either
race"
In the State capital at Mont
gomery, former capital of the
Confederacy, the Montgomery
Advertiser applauded the Bir-
mingham businessmen. In an
editorial it said:
