Kennedy's speech, Mr.. Khru-
shchev said:
I'VE have noted with salts
faction the call for better re-
lations between the United
States and the USSR. We
agree with the Presidents state
ment that the peoples Of our
countries have a mutual in
terest in the maintenance Of
peace"
The Soviet Premier was crit
ical, however, Of Mr.. Kennedy's
remark that Communist lead
ers seek to force their system
on other nations.
"In this case, the United
States President unfortunately
uses the language of Dulles
(former Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, who often
resorted TO foul language In
speaking about communism, "
Mr.. Khrushchev said.
He also repeated the Soviet
position for settlement Of the
Berlin and German problems
and declared the United States
is giving the impression that
1t really does not want them
solved.

What Status for Puerto Rico?

would Professor Herbert
WechSler Of Columbia and the
American Law Institute.
These names are used purely
for illustration. They indicate
the range Of choice open to
the President and Congress
in naming eight members.
The other four members Of
the commission would be
chosen by Governor Munoz,
and he is certain to observe
the highest standards. There
will be no votes and no de-
cisions by the commission on
any constitutional question.
1t will have no task beyond
the preparation and sub
mission Of a constitutional
document that will enable
responsible men in the United
States and Puerto Rico to
make a decision firmly rooted
in the facts and based on the
best wisdom available in the
settlement Of an issue Of this
Importance.
The fifth point is that q
refusal by Congress to act. or
a decision to act in a grudg-
ing and carping spirit that
will inevitably compromise
the result. will damage rela-
tons with Puerto Rico In the
most sensitive way. For this
kind Of response in Wash
ington will wound the pride
and affront the self-respect
of the people Of Puerto Rico,
They have always rejoiced in
their close and special rela-
tionship with the United
States. They have done moth
ing to have their motives
questioned now and yet they
have been forced to suffer
tedious delays and listen to
clumsy insults as their case
has been presented in Con-
greSS. 81
The conclusion is inescap-
able. This question deserves
bipartisan support in Con-
gresS in an enlightened
framework Of policy. It
should no longer be degraded 6
into a local scuffle in which
prejudice and error fashion. a
wrong judgment. An urgent
word in season by President
Kennedy to the leaders Of
both parties will bring the
note Of reason and realism
that have been missing from
the whole discussion. Then
the commission can be ap-
pointed to do its work and
once it has reported the real
debate can take place.

House Approves
Extension Of
Excise Tuxes
By the Associated presu

The House has approved and
sent to the Senate the peren-
NAL bill to extend tax rates
set during the Korean War on
automobiles and parts, ciga-
rettes, liquor, airline tickets,
general telephone service and
corporate income. The vote was
1881.
The taxes are estimated to
bring $4.2 billion into the
Treasury.
The rates will drop to a
lower level June 80 unless &C.
ton is completed on the
measure by then.
Some House members wanted
to defeat the one-year extern
sion and let the taxes expire
to provide q cut ahead of the
general tax overhaul and in
come tax reductions asked by
President Kennedy. That meas
ure is now being drafted by
the House Ways and Means
Committee.
But Representative Mills
Democrat of Arkansas, chair
man Of that committee, strong
ly opposed such a course. After
the tax overhaul is out Of the
way, he said, the committee
may be able to consider grad
ual reductions in the Korean
War taxes plus some others.

lots. We could not obtain 1t
through legislation. 1t could
only be by revolutionary force
led by the Communist Party"
To demonstrate Commu-
mist tactics he told the fol-
lowing story: In 1886 he was
chairman Of an organizing
committee for a Thanks
giving longshoremen's strike.
He met with the ship owners
and the latter agreed to
every demand. Then he re-
ported joyfully to his Com
munist boss that now both
white and colored longshore-
men would be able to have
turkey for Thanksgiving.
This was the retort of the
Communist leader:
"You should know better.
You want to spare the West
Coast longshoremen and act
real nice for a measly 10
cents an hour increase.
We're interested in the strug-
gle, in tying up the entire
ports from the Gulf ports,
the South's ports, the North
ern ports and the West Coast.
We want to demonstrate the
power Of the Com m u nj S t
Party. This could develop into
gigantic revolutionary strug-
giles against the State militia,
the State power. And you got
to cut 1t out!"
Concessions to Communist
demands, it should now be
obvious, settle nothing. 1t has
been the greed Of men the
world over which has pre-
vented social progress and
social justice in past decades.
For had there been any con-
Germ for "the people," Karl
Marx would have no cause to
write the Manifesto in 1848.
If today's leaders will realize
that while true reform is
definitely needed they must
also be alert against Commu-
mist tactics and ability in
turning reform into chaos,
there is still hope. It is never
too late until the ak falls.

KurdCiviIions Reported
Shot by Iroqi roops

BEIRUT, Lebanon, June Is
AP).-Reliable reports reach
ing here yesterday said more
than half of Iraq's army is
waging a war of determination
against the Kurds in the north,
Smelling and razing villages,
shooting civilians and burning
crops.
The reports, from Kurdish
and independent sources, said
all Kurdish villages within is
miles of the oil center of Kirkuk
and some near Sulimaniya had
been flattened with artillery
fire and tanks, and an I'M
known number Of women and
children gunned down by CT
william members of the National
Guard youth organization.
The sources said Iraqi troop:
confiscated all vehicles anC
farm machinery, looted money
and women's jewelry, pillage6
churches, strung male villagers
by their heels and whipped
them. Two women who pro-
tested were executed, they said
The scorched earth assault
against the villages has so far
been confined to the plains, the
reports said, but the air force
has sent nyushin bombers to
raid Kurdish strongholds in
the mountains.
The reports said the surprise
offensive began last Friday,
three days before the Iraqi gov
eminent officially declared war
against the Kurds. The Kurd-
ish tribes proclaimed a truce
four months ago in their fight
for self-rule. On Monday they
rejected a 24-hour ultimatum
to pledge allegiance to the gov
eminent, or face war.

1.-THE Kurds are no longer
fighting for self-rule. They
consider this a fight for their
national existence to keep from
being wiped out as a people, f"

Kurds.
Three of the Army's five d.

the north with more than so

The broadcast reported that
Kurdish strongholds bordering
Turkey and Iran were brought
under government control al

The Kurds' strength is hard
to determine. Estimates vary
widely, from 1000 to 10000.
Some Kurdish fighters have
Joined the government.
Moscow has voiced support
for the Kurds, and observers

cidentally burned by a fire
cracker. Old Prince Phtoom
was shocked. THE money
isn't worth it" he said.
Somebody might get seri-
ously injured. Let us put
away our firecrackers and go
home" And they did.
East and West were furi-
Gus. No bloody combat? It
was a waste of money. Some
thing had to be done. So they
negotiated and negotiated
and finally reached q great
compromise: they overthrow
Prince Sisboombah and re-
installed good old Prince
Phtoom, who by now, was a
passionate neutralist.
But Prince Suwanee-Rivah
had acquired three French
StarletS on the Riviera to sup
port. And in a year he was
on the shorts for rubles. So
he revolted again.
That's revoltingl" cried
Prince Phtoom angrily. II
don't care If somebody does
get hurt" And he ordered
his Loyal Royal Army to load
its guns. Which was unheard
Of. And 1t was then he made
the stirring speech so fraught
with significance for us stu
dents of Laos today:
Men," he shouted to his
masSed troops, Tets all get
out there and die for neu-
tralism!"
AS you might guess, the
soldiers mulled that over,
looked at each other, laid
down their guns and went off
to compose love poems.
Which is to say that while
men will die for many things,
neutralism simply isn't one
Of them. And, in a way, that's
a very sad thing to say.

Moral: Men Will Die for Many Things
But NeutroIism Is Not Among Them

So love and neutralism ruled
in Whining. Then the cold
war started.
Brother princes" said the
then neutralist prince, H. r.
H. Phtoom, in a nationwide
address to all 1872 Whining
ians, "let our ringing motto
be: "The cold war-so who
needs it?'" And everybody
cheered.
Only this made the East
and West mad. Anybody
who isn't for us is against
us!" warned Washington.
Anybody is against us who
isn't for us!" growled Mos
COW.
So Prince Phtoom sighed
and scratched his head, and,
with many misgivings, Or
dered his brother, Prince Sis
boombah to overthrow him
and become a bastion Of de-
mocracy. Which Sisboombah
did. And Washington sent
him billions of dollars. In
fact. this worked so well that
a third brother, Prince Su-
wanee-Rivah, went into bust
ness for himself as a Commu-
mist rebel. And Moscow
sent him billions of rubles.

Iran has been fortunate in
having a Shah who sincerely
loves his people and who in
the last decade has trans
formed a medieval state into
a modern new world country.
Among other things, he has
broken up the huge estates
Of the nobility, including his
own, and distributed the land
among the peasants.
But today Iran is suffering
from alarming riots.
In South Korea, Gen.

But today South Korea,

but the last election proved
differently.
The story is repeated
around the world. And when
Attorney General Robert
Kennedy talked with Negro
leaders in New York he re-
ceived "hysterical laughter"
He was naive, they said.
So is Trans Shah; so is Gen.
Park, and so is Mr.. Fanfani.
What the free world lead
ers are beginning to learn is
that their belated efforts to
bring social progress and
social justice will not prevent
turbulence, for the simple
reason that when the "talk-
ing points" of the Commu-
nists are removed, the Reds
will find others. Trans riots
are caused by the so-called
dissenters on land and social

ARTHUR HOPPE

The crisis in Laos looks
grim. Again. And I'd bring
you a penetrating analysis.
But I've forgotten how to
spell the names of those three
princes.
You rem ember them.
There's the dyed-in-the-wool
Red Communist prince who
insists on being addressed as
"Your Royal Highness." And
there's the neutralist prince,
who heads what is called
1.-THE Shaky Coalition Gov
eminent" (Which is odd, be-
cause I'm sure his name isn't
Shaky.) And lastly there's
the right-wing prince who
used to be "a BaStion of
Democracy in South e a st
ASIA" Until we stopped prop
ping him up.
Anyway, the Connie prince
has been clobbering the be-
jeepers out of the neutralist
prince lately. And nobody
can understand why.
/ can. We once faced very
much the same situation in
West Whining, the only Asian
country in which I can spell
the names of all three princes.
History tells us that for
its first 2132 years, West
Whining was, generally
speaking, neutralist. Mainly
because aggressors could new
er pronounce it. Which put
a crimp in fighting speeches.

Nonportison Effort by Congress Urged
To Speed Setting Up of Study Group

through inadvertence rather
than any malice, becomes in
directly responsible for this
delay.
The second point is that
the confusion in the House
committee has given Castro
and his Communist friends a
new chance to deride Puerto
Rico as an American colony.
They are saying that the
United States wants other
imperial powers to be gen.
erous and progressive but it
clings to its colonial rule in
Puerto Rico. This criticism, as
we all know, is nonsense, but
some Of our friends in Latin
America are wondering anx-
iously why Congress does not
move more quickly to expose
the complete falseness of the
Communist indictment. Is
this a time when the United
States can voluntarily en-
cumber itself with its own
mistakes?
The third point is that the
proposed commission never
has been intended by Gov
ernor Munoz as a formula by
which his own party would
gain political advantages.
Like the great majority Of
Puerto Ricans, especially in
the business community, he
has realized that the very
progress Of the island in re-
cent years has forced this
constitutional question to the
point of decision. Ten or fiji
teen years ago Puerto Rico
did not worry about the I'M
resolved problems of COM
monwealth status status
found in this form nowhere
else in the world and con-
ferring great credit on
American policy. But now
that Puerto Rico has made
these gains, by its own eff
forts, 1t has every right to
wish for a clear and authori-
tative definition of such mat
tiers as common citizenship.
common trade, common de-
Tense, common foreign policy,
to seek a statement of prin-
ciples that will ensure that
the clarified status will be
continued as long as Puerto
Rico and the United States
jointly want it to do so.
The fourth point is that
the commission by itself
would simply provide the
expert guidance and knowl-
edge on which a responsible
judgment could be made. It
is easy to think of the kind
of American citizen who
might serve on the commits
sion. Former justices of the
Supreme Court like Justice
Reed and Justice Burton are
available for duty. Dean
Griswold of the Harvard Law
School would bring distinc-
ton to the commission, as

The Joint Legislative Com

today as we'll as around the

Negro, gave testimony which
should be read even at this
late date. It explains why
Robert Kennedy was called

The witness had been an
important leader in the Com

thoroughly trained in the
Lenin School Of revolution.
He detected because ST be-

Communist party did not
have at heart the interest
of the Negro people, the in
