A World Divided

AS a postscript to Lincoln's
Birthday and Ralph McGill's
splendid column, / add:
Although the urgency Of q
new infusion of justice to
solve internal ills cannot for
a moment be denied. the
greater significance of Lin
coin for our times is his
principle of an indivisible
union. But, in this modern
hour, this is a union which
remains to be built-a union
of the states Of the world.
Lincoln's fundamental
premise was that "a house
divided against itself cannot
stand" Were he living today
he would recognize that the
world has become one house
and that it stands in deadly
peril. This is not merely the
peril of falling as govern
ments have risen and fallen
throughout recorded history.
1t is rather the peril of an
Inhalation.
Taking anew that Gin
creased devotion" for which
the Great Emancipation pied,
is this not the time to turn
our faces from the brink of
impending disaster and work
resolutely for world order
under law? Without this we
may literally perish from
the earth"

The Biggest

In the early 1905 two brothers,
Charles E. Duryea and J. Frank Duryea,
disagreed publicly on which Of them
built and operated the first gasoline
powered American automobile. Basic
patent rights granted several years later,
in 1895, tended to support Charles
, claims, although supplementary patents
also were awarded to j. Frank. Except to
the Duryea family, 1t may not matter
greatly today which Of the brothers was
most responsible for this engineering
and industrial break-through. But 1t has
indeed revolutionized American life.
There are all sorts Of staggering sta
tistics related to the automobile and its
Importance in peace or In war. The one
of the moment Is reported by General
Motors Corporation, the biggest auto
maker and the largest industrial enter
prise in the world, in It's estimate of 1862
sales Of STAG billion and net profit of
$l.459 billion. Both figures are the high
est ever reported by any company max
ing and selling anything anywhere.
In these days General Motors puts
out a variety Of products and services.
The backbone Of its operations, however,
is the building and marketing of auto
mobiles. Last year, incidentally, was the
second best for the industry as a whole,
topped only by 1865. Passenger car pro-
duction in all American plants In 1862
exceeded SO million, with GIN turning
out more than 81 million of this total to
capture SAT- per cent Of total sales-its
highest share Of the market. Along with
record sales and profits, another COM
pany mark was set In worldwide payroll
OF $50 billion Dividends exceeded $3.50
million. Taxes totalled STATS billion.
The story Of one industrial giants
performance is not necessarily the story
OF the national economy. 1t is note
worthy, however, that GIN was selling
something that individual consumers
we're willing and able TO buy, and mostly
so in the American market itself. During
their family squabble, the Duryea broth
ers hardly could have imagined what
their handiwork would mean in the
economies Of the Nation 10 years later.

it. In response, Malaya-which is pro-
freedom, anti-Red and one of the Vests
most stalwart friends in Asia-has an
nounced a crash program" to build up
its military strength to meet the Indo-
nesian threat. And so the stage is set
for possible armed conflict that could
have the most dangerous consequences.
Standing by itself, Of course, Malaga
has nothing to match Indonesia's So
viet-supplied air force, navy and 100000
man army, But there exists a Malayan-
British mutual defense treaty, and this
may help-conceivably-to persuade Mr..
Sukarno to try curing his country's
home-front ills rather than play the role
Of a tinpot Asiatic Caesar seeking vacu-
Gus glory in places like North Borneo.

President sukarno, whose neutral
list" regime in Jakarta has yet to cope
effectively with Indonesia's grave do
nestle problems, now has proclaimed his
readiness to go on another aggressive
adventure abroad. Indeed, speaking
through his foreign minister, he has
boastfully and almost eagerly suggested
that he will be prepared to use armed
force against Malaga II the latter at
tempts to incorporate North Borneo in
the Federation OF Malaysia.
Scheduled to come into being at the
end OF next August, this prospective new
nation is to be made up Of Malaga itself,
Singapore, Sarawak, Brunei and North
Borneo. However, Mr.. Sukarno (the Fill
ipinos are also opposed, but for other
reaSons) is so hostile TO the idea that
he has not hesitated to intimate that he

New Ways to Spend

In his state-of-the- Union message,
President Kennedy said he was sending
to Congress budget that would hold
total expenditures for all other purposes
[excepting defense, space and interest
chargesl below this years level"
Since then, and despite the Presi-
dents ''poStponement Of many desirable
programs" Congress has been kept busy
mulling over series Of special budget
messages which, at the present rate,
makes any hope for spending cutback
little more than mirage. In fact, the
suspicion grows that the final tab may
run higher than ever unless Congress,
accepting the state-of-the- Union econ
omy clause as more than fine print,
vigorously Yields the pruning knife.
One possible taking-off place might
be some Of the DREAMER proposals of the
recent aid-to-youth message. While no
one questions that something must be
done about the 100000 young people out
Of school and work, and the thousands
Of others headed the same way, there Is
considerable room to doubt the efficacy
OF such proposed programs as the Youth
Conservation Corps and It's urban coun-
terpart, the Home Town Youth Corps.
When the President says young
people deserve a "better chance" he
undoubtedly also is thinking of the
100000 the Government coolly reports
viii drop out Of school before 1870. Are
these millions Of drop-outs an accepted
fact, or shouldn't there be a stronger
effort to reach them with vocational
training in school? This would seem to
make more sense than made-work Jobs,
mostly Of no permanent training value.
For that indeterminate number Of
youths really looking for a better
chance" there has to be a better way
than going back to the dark days Of
WPA and CCC.

Rusk's Difficult Job
Your always readable Mar

your always readable Mary
McGrory handled current
criticisms of Secretary of State
Dean Rusk in the same tone
she says he employs: HE
does not ALLEVIATE with sharp
wit or outrage with a
high moral tone :"
But news articles and col
umns on our never ending
foreign problems by Miss Nc
Grory and many other fair
enough writers, cry for more
penetration, more light. The
average American reader may
never understand all the de-
tails, but, according to the
pollsters, is more than ready
for a glimmer beyond this
cold war impasse. Miss Nc
Grory gives US only the
slightest hint when she quotes
the Presidents conviction
that Mr.. Rusk is "doing well
in q fearfully complicated
task"
Isn't 1t time we face facts
known to this President and
Secretary of State and to at
least three of their immediate
predecessors - but only tim
idly intimated by them for
fear Of arousing our small
but loud-Inouthed segment Of
flag-wavers? Fact No. /: Ma
tional sovereignty no longer
exists for ours or any nation
in the realm of war or peace.
If we must pin blame for this
shocking fact on any one or
any nation, we might as well
place 1t on our own Wright
brothers. The day they first
turned men into birds marked
the beginning of this new
era, when national boun-
diaries started to melt into
ozone, when this planet took
on a fourth dimension. Those
first human birds chain-re-
acted with atomic power to-
ward the inevitable transit
ton Of war mongers into
dodo birds.
Therefore, let's face it:
The detectives of past wars,
to establish the limits of gov
ernments, must now be at
tanned through other means.
And those means are clear
enough to any American high
schooler: Federation of states
which retain such sovereignty
as may be valid, but which
join In a workable authority
over this dangerous inter-
state vacuum. All agreements
on disarmament must hinge
on such an international au-
thority. A difficult job, Of
course, but one which all sane
people will approve in prefer
ence to its alternative, World
War III.
In this international no
man's-land. where one crack
pot, shooting an H-bomb,
could exert more sovereign
power" than any national
government. 1t is much too
late to evade this prime fact.
Miss McGrory, who described
Mr.. Rusk's job as "the most
difficult in the cabinet" is
keen enough to write compre-
hensively on this No. fact,
for the majority Of us and for
posterity - not for the John
Birchers and Rockwell Nazis.

Causes of Crime

AS a former vice president
Of the Federal Grand Jurors
Association in New York, and
former member of the Law
and Order Society of Phil
adelphia, permit my congrat-
ulations on your masterful
editorial: Causes of Crime"
You're right in assuming
that there will always be too
much crime in Washington
"as long as the kid-glove
treatment of criminals is the
rule rather than the excep-
ton"
Two remedial suggestions:
First, by congressional leg
islation, remove from the
judges the broad powers they
have to sentence-often at
great variance with other
judges-and too often turn
ing into quashing indict-
ments or suspending SEN
fences. Criminal rape, for
example, might call for the
death penalty or life impris-
onment. The Judge could de-
eide which of those two sem
fences he wished to impose,
but he would have no oppor-
tunity, II he went soft in the
head, to set a lesser sentence
or to suspend sentence. I have
great confidence in the in
tegrity and ability Of the
American juror. Judges
should try cases, not legis-
late law enforcement. And in
this suggestion we should
enact laws similar to New
York State's-four convic-
tons and you're behind bars
for lifel
Secondly: End the silly
prejudice against publishing
names of juvenile criminals.
If their names and addresses
appear in print the first ef-
feet will be for the parents
to assume a greater degree
of responsibility and attempt
discipline they may never
have tried before. 1t isn't
easy to be a pillar of the
church" or hold a position Of
confidence and trust If your
son is beating up and robbing
old ladies. stealing cars or
raping housewives.
Two great weaknesses
would thus be eliminated:
pudding-head judges who
lack judgment; and irrespon-
sible, careless parents.

Laws for LowIess

The Star recently made the
point that Capitol Hill legis-
lators are fully aware of the
seriousness of Washington's
vicious crime picture. They
know that criminal violence
Is increasing every day and
seem agreed that the situa-
ton has become too much to
accept from any city much
less our Nations Capital that
broadcasts the image" of
America throughout the
world. And there seems a
good chance tina. helpful
legislation can be passed this
session.
Yet, as The Star also noted,
our legislators are also fully
aware that year after year
bills designed TO help correct
this shameful and dangerous
situation have not passed be-
cause one or the other legis-
lative body failed to give
necessary support.
This we do not understand.
With the need so desperately
pressing-and so obvious
why is such powerful pres
sure brought against passage
Of such bills2 And where does
the objection come fromp Do
political courters Of minority
voting blocs" fear that such
legislation might be inter-
preted as discrimination?
Obviously Just willy nilly
forced indignation" is no
answer to this problem.

OF books trying TO double
down TO half his height for
a drink Of water. Or visualize
a short-skirted. full or tight,

first by determinedly setting
out to put the left wing In
Its place and second by DEM
onstrating himself to be as
good q pro-Westerner, as
tough a pro-Western military
alliance type, as could be
found In all the Western
world.
True enough, no one can
say for certain that Mr.. VIII
son will take Gaitskell's
course; but there is no worse
than a $3.50 chance that he
will. The simple realities
have a way Of boring from
within, Of bearing in upon
any public man once he
reaches a position Of respon-
sible leadership. And the sim
pie realities are that the
Labor Party's left wing, like
the Democratic left-wing
here, becomes intolerable and
intolerably boring after a
while to any leader who
wants his leadership to sue
coed.
Gaitskell's Example
The left wing became in
tolerable to Gaitskell, as he
once smilingly implied to this
columnist in London, for q
simple and unalterable rea-
son: The more a leader sees
of the facts Of political life
the more he realizes that left
wings are more interested in
prose than in performance,
in striking righteous atti-
tudes than In getting things
done.
And, in the end, any party
leader survives only as and
when he can get things done.
For, to use perhaps the old
est cliche Of all, politics Is
the art of the possible, which
Is to say Of compromise. The
really doctrinaire leftists
have no capacity to compro-
mise, however honorably, and
thus no capacity 10 govern,
either a country or a party.
This Gaitskell surely
learned. This Mr.. Wilson, too,
will learn. Or, If not there
very likely will be one Of two
consequences: He will not
lead the Labor Party long:
or, leading 1t from that base
Of perpetual disarray which
is unchecked left wing poll
tics, he viii lead it to q
lost election!

Vanishing Landmarks

In Allenabad, q dozen
years ago. in undertaking to
demolish the statue Of Queen
Victoria, Indian authorities,
to avoid the wrath Of the

at the source Of this at
tachment. In any case, this
kind Of affection for local
landmarks poses less Of a
problem for our own SUI

One of the great vistas Of
the District of Columbia is
that Of the dome Of the
Capitol as one emerges from
Union Station. But the dome
can be seen from countless
other points; the wonderful
thing here is the sight across
Union Station Plaza, and the
plaza's beauty is chiefly owed
the three magnificent bases
OF its flag-staffs. Now, not
exactly at night, but as un-
obtrusively as possible. an
nouncing 1t after 1t was done,
the Department OF the In
terror has torn these bases
down, to replace them with
something up-to-date.
We are told they were
rusting. and imperilled the
poles. Nobody ever heard of
a flag-pole so sturdily Inn
planted actually topping.
Still. ours might be the first.
