Leaving Fear Astern'


The President offered good counsel
yesterday In declaring that "hope must
be tempered with caution" in any effort
to evaluate the possible consequences of
strains within the Communist bloc.
After all, as he told the new Congress,
"the Soviet Chinese disagreement is
over means, not ends. dispute over
how best to bury the Free World is no
grounds for Western rejoicing" On the
contrary, we and our allies must con-
tinue to look to our political, economic
and military defenSeS with undiminiShed
vigor and vigilance.
Still, although he can "foresee no
spectacular reversal in Communist
methods or goals" Mr.. Kennedy made
clear in his State-of-the Union message
that he believes forces now at work with
in the world of Red totalitarianiSm may
yet impel that world-or at least large
part of ito become less and less a
closed society and more and more an
open one cooperating with the free. In
that respect, Premier Khrushchev would
do well to note these words of the
President:
e. If all these trends and developments
can persuade the Soviet Union to walk the
path Of peace then let her know that all
free nations will journey with her. We
do not dismiss disarmament as merely an
idle dream. {. Nor do we mistake honorable
negotiation for appeasement. While we shall
never weary In the defense Of freedom neither
shall we ever abandon the pursuit Of peace.
:. If they [our adversariesl choose peaceful
competition, they shall have it. II -. they
are willing TO turn their energies, as we are,
to the great unfinished tasks of our own
peoples-theE, surely, the areas of agreement
can be very wide indeed: A clear understand
ing about Berlin, stability in Southeast Asia,
an end to nuclear testing, new checks on
surprise or accidental attack, and, ultimately,
general and complete disarmament"
The men of the Kremlin have 1t
within their power to enhance this po-
tentially bright long-range prospect or
to Shatter 1t. AS to that, Mr.. KhruShchev
may offer some clues in the speeches and
statements he is likely to make during
his current visit to East Berlin. Per-.
hapS he agrees with Mr.. Kennedy that
the winds Of change are blowing as much
in the Communist world as in ours. If
so, then maybe Soviet policy will in due
course be adjusted accordingly-for the
better. In any event, the President has
spoken well for all America in affirming,
I'VE steer our ship with hope, as Thomas
Jefferson said, leaving Fear astern.'"

Task for 1853

AS generally is the case at this
season, the President has examined the
state Of the Union and found it good.
He has also taken reading Of the
international scene, and has found
ground there for cautious optimism.
All Of this is in the very best political
tradition. When any President reports
to a new Congress, he always adopts
the best-foot- forward approach, and no
valid objection can be raised. Life in
this day and age would be grim indeed
without the hopeful approach.
Mr.. Kennedys major emphasis this
year was on matter which appeals
to ala tax cut in three phases adding
up to $l3.5 billion. This, he said, ais
the most urgent task confronting the
Congress in 1861, And Congress, one
may be sure, will have at it with a will.
The President advocates reductions
In the individual rates aggregating $11
billion, and a cut in corporate rates from
the wartime So per cent to the pre-
Korean level Of AZ per cent. This will
reduce corporate tax liability by some
SIS billion, and, when taken with the
Change in depreciation allowance and
the new investment tax credit provi-
siOns, 1t represents a substantial shot
IN the arm for the business-industria
community.
Mr.. Kennedy tied these proposals
toa tax reform program which, he hopes,
VIII offset some SIS billion Of the rev.
enue loss, leaving an actual loss to the
Treasury Of $40 billion.
1t is at this point that second
thoughts begin to irltrude. The timing
and scope of tax reform are, at best,
uncertain. And the Presidents COM
nentS on spending were vague. He said
the 1864 administrative budget will call
for more money (he didn't say how
much more) for defense, space and fixed
Interest charges, but that total outlays
for all other purposes will be held below
this years level. Again, he didn't say
how much below Thus, even without
a tax cut, fiscal "a might find us even
deeper in the red, and If over the next
three years at least $40 billion or more
In lost revenue is to be added to this,
the inflationary warning flags will really
be flying. Mr.. John @. could wind up
with substantially more dollars that are
worth great deal less.
Tax reduction, however, is definitely
in the cards, and we do not expect any
thing to stop it. One can only express
the probably pious hope that spending
really will be cut, and that the sought
for stimulation Of the econol. =, with
correspondingly rising revenues, will,
in fact, materialize.

Where There Is No Toll

President Kennedy was gracious in
his state-of-the-Union message in say
ing that the Congress and the people
have given "in good measure" the toll
and dedication which he asked Of the
Nation when he took office two years
ago. 1t is unfortunate that he did not
mention one notable exception of the
moment-or, more exactly, of more than
three weeks paSt-in the case Of the
commercial waterfrontS from Maine to
Texas.
For on those docks there is no
toil-except by foreign-flag line crews
and passengers attempting to make the
best OF an intolerable situation-while
American longshoremen neither work
nor really bargain, and American ships
stand idle at the piers The members OF
the International LongShoremen's Asso-
ciation, estimated at about $4,000, are
on strike-although In some ports they
have indicated they are not very happy
about 1t. But more tens Of thousands Of
Seamen, OF truckers serving the ports,
and OF others affected by shutdown in
shipping also are out of work. Our own
goods for export are not being exported,
our demands for imports are not being
met. To banana growers In South Amer
lea, to automobile makers In Western
Europe, and TO others abroad, the paral-
ysis OF our Eastern ports is costing Jobs
and money-just as II is right here in
the United States.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Satellite Instruments Study Earth
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Earth shines" with its
own light.
Seen far away in space, Of
course, 1t would be another
planet, like Mars or Venus,
shining with light reflected
from the sun. 1t has, how
ever, its own radiation which
is in the long wave-length
infrared. invisible to the hui
man eye.
This infrared radiation,
however, may throw much
light on the planet as q
whole. 1t now is being OBJ
served by United States Air
Force scientists with a new
infrared detector carried
aboard q satellite which is
giving the sharpest view yet
obtained Of the varying tenn
perature patterns Of the
planet and the chemical con-
stituents Of its atmosphere.
This radiation, says an Air
Force report, rs emitted by
all objects whose tempera-
ture Is above absolute zero.
Each chemical constituent
has a characteristic infra-
red signature. This changes
with temperature. In addi-
ton q continuous radiation
is emitted from every body.
With increasing temperature
the amount Of this increases.
Analysis Revealing
by analysis OF the spec
trum II is possible to deter
mine the presence OF a given
chemical constituent and its
temperature. The tempera-
ture Of the earth can be de-
termined from the location
OF the peak Of the con-
tinuum. Although q great
deal Of infrared data has
been taken from the ground
and from aircraft, little re-
search data has been gath
cred by devices looking down
through the atmosphere.
With the small satellite
borne interferometer scien-
lists will have a more precise
tool for measuring the earth's
albedo - the ratio OF the
amount OF solar radiation
falling on the earth TO that
reflected. The interferometer
. will also permit observation
Of the thermal and chemical
properties Of aurorae, the ra-
diation scattered from vari-
Gus cloud patterns, and OBJ

THE POLITICAL MILL
Tax Reduction Easy to Swallow
By GOULD LINCOLN

60 to Congress on Thurs
day. And he will be send
ing messages to Congress
dealing with other SUBJ
jects. 1t was a surprise, per-
haps, that he said only .
few words about civil rights
or legislation to strengthen
them. II was a surprise, too,
that with the whole East
Coast shipping tied up by q
longshoreman's strike, with
newspapers in two great
cities (New York and Cleve-
land) shut down by strikes,
and with a railroad strike
In the making, the Presi-
dent said nothing at all in
his message about more ef-
fective measures to deal
with these work stoppages.
The President may have in
mind special messages in
the future dealing with both
these problems. Indeed. 1t has
been said by high Govern
ment officials that the
President has been giving
much consideration to
amendment Of the labor
management laws now on
the statute books.
Labor Is Key Factor
Both these problems con-
tain political dynamite. Par
ticularly is this true Of the
problem of labor-manage-
ment relations. But they are
vital problems. If there is
no way of avoiding strikes in
great industries or bring
ing them to an end, OBJ
viously the public interest
will suffer and the economy
Of the country will be jeop-
ardized. President Kennedy
has had the support Of
organized labor; indeed,
labor has claimed that it
brought about his election,
and he has given labor
credit to a large degree. But
If organized labor persists
in its demands for more
and more pay, shorter
working hours, with either
disastrous strikes or with an
increasing spiral of labor
costs and higher prices to
the consumer, or both, the
Presidents hand will be
forced.
AS outlined in his state
Of the Union message,
President Kennedy,s tax re-
duction program holds
pleasing prospects for the in
dividual taxpayer in the
lower and the higher
brackets, as well as for the
managers and stockholders
Of corporations. Individual
tax rates now range be-
tween 20 and 81 per cent,
and corporate taxes are So
per cent. The Presidents
recommendations call for an
income tax range for in
dividuals of IA to IS per
cent, and corporate taxes to
be reduced to AZ per cent.
Most of the comment on
Capitol Hill has been favor
able to a tax cut. The only
termite in the woodpile Is
the demand by Republicans
and some Of the conserva-
tive Democrats that there
must be reduction of
Government spending to Off
set the loss Of revenue due
to tax cutting. And there the
battle will rage when the
issue comes before Congress
The odds strongly favor Q
Kennedy victnrv
Evening star., 1963-01-15

President Kennedy's chief
remedy for the country's
economy is tax reduction. 1t
is a dose not hard to swallow.
In fact, there has been more
unanimity in regard to it on
the part Of all elements Of
the country than In almost
any other proposal the Presi-
dent has advanced. Its eff
cacy, however, will depend on
a number Of important fac
tors and results. AS the Presi-
dent sees 1t. Q substantial
tax reduction for individuals
and corporations will greatly
increase purchasing power,
expansion Of production, EN-
ployment and Government
revenue. A failure to reach
any one Of these desired ends
could upset the whole APPLE
cart; 1t could result in in
flation. devaluation of the
dollar and economic disaster.
The President is confident,
however. that with labor and
industry and Government all
working together in this fight
for a long-range strong econ
omy, 1t will vastly benefit
the American people.
The patient, American
economy, according to PreSi-
dent Kennedy's state-of-the-
Union message, delivered to
the new Congress yesterday,
has made substantial recov-
cry (from eight years of Re-
publican rule) in the last "a
months - the extent of his
own administration. Indeed,
the President painted a glow
ing picture Of the United
States, its economic improve
ment at home and its
strengthened position in the
world. But in addition to
congratulating the members
Of the 88th Congress on their
election, he told them there
is much to be done; that
while there has been much
improvement, 1t is no time
to relax.
The President proved him
self an excellent spokesman
for his administration. And,
indeed, he had reason to
speak Of the gains which
have been made with salts
faction. There have been
gains for both industry and
labor. He outlined some OF
the main features of his pro-
gram-Federal aid to educa-
ton, medical aid and care
for the aged through the So
cial Security System, mass
transportation, advances in
public health etc. The only
really new program which he
proposed was the creation oi
q domestic Peace Corps.
How to Do IL?
While he promised tc
keep Government spending
for domestic purposes below
what it has been during
the last year, it is difficult
to see how this can be
done II the Federal Govern
ment is to be charged with
providing the services which
are included in his program
Federal aid to education

more classrooms and to hell

schools-will not be a mert

ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY p. L. PRATTIS

In the fight for freedom which
American Negroes are now wag-
ing, they must be mindful Of their
enemies as well as their friends.
Some Of their enemies they know
well and can be discounted. This
includes such men as Governor
Barnett Of Mississippi, Senators
Eastland and Stennis of Mississ-
ippi, Governor Wallace Of Ala
bama, Senator Strom Thurmond Of
South Carolina, the Senators from
Georgia, ct cetera. But there are
other enemies, not so easily de-
tected nor discounted. These are
men who use typewTiters rather
than police dogs or electric prod
ding rods.
The list Of such men IL long,
but included on It must be Rob
ert RuarlI, Arthur KrOck, David
Lawrence and william 8. White,
all Of this country with reason
ing" against freedom and for the
protection Of private" or prop
erty" rights. They show no con-
Germ at all for human rights.
Two Of these gentlemen are
northerners, Krock and Lawrence.
The other two are southerners,
Ruark and White. White was born,
reared and educated in Texas.
Thank God all Texans are not
alike and all are not like this
'shrewdster" White. He has al
ready looked into his crystal ball
and learned that there is going to
be no civil rights legislation I'M
less either the Kennedy admins
tration accepts less than 1t has
asked for or Negroes agree to quit
demonstrations and wait until
whites offer them civil rights in
a Christmas package.
In his opposition to public ac-
commodations law, White inter-
prets the law makers as being
against it because It gives the gov
eminent the right to tell a man
what he can do with his property,
or cannot do.
Nothing Is further from the
truth - although as the Attorney
General testified southern states
have passed laws requiring owners
Of private property to discriminate.
All a public accommodations
law would do would be to require
private property owners to treat
all citizens alike. Private property
owners have no right to insult cit
liens because Of their race, color
or religion. II a restaurant owner
does not want men in his restaur-
ant without their coats on, that is
okay so long as it applies to all
men without coats. But when a
private property owner assumes
the right to deny food or lodging
to a federal district judge on ac-
count Of his race, color or religion,
he has violated both the laws Of
man and Of God.
It is amazing indeed to follow
the devious and specious line pur-
sued by these column thinkers"
They wear out Irrelevant techni-
calities while ignoring basic rights.
Who is there to contend today that
I may not enjoy the same rights
and privileges as any other Amer
lean? I have something reserved
for the man who does say 50 and
that includes Ruark, Koch, Lawr-
ence, White and all their Shiny
tlk.
