MAIL TRIBUNE
At 62 Instead of at 65?
The Senate Finance committee, is preparing its re
port on the bill passed overwhelmingly by the House
last year, to liberalize the social security system. One
House provision evidently disliked by a majority of
the committee would lower to 62 from the present 65
the age at which old age annuities would become
available for women.
A retired worker now gets his annuity increased
by one-half for his wife if she also has reached 65.
Supporters of the House proposal, pointing out that
most wives are several years younger than their hus
bands, argue that many workers who really should re
tire at 65 feel impelled to work beyond that age until
their wives also reach 65.
A WIDOW is eligible for three-fourths of what her
husband's annuity would have been, but only
when she reaches 65. This means, argue supporters of
the House proposal further, that too many widows
are in need deprived of support from the deceased
husband yet required to wait for an old age annuity
until they meet the age qualification.
Opponents of the House proposal point out that
by materially increasing the total of annuities, it
would either require higher social security taxes or
else make the system financially unstable. Pointing
out also that women as a whole live longer than men
as a whole, they argue that the average woman work
er in her sixties is in at least as good health as the av
erage man of the same age, and hence should not get
a retirement annuity at 62 while a man has to wait
until 65 for one.
"117HEN the social security system was set up in
1935, there was still considerable unemploy
ment. So one purpose of the legislation was to induce
older persons to drop out of the labor force.
With employment as high as it is today, some op
ponents of the 62-instead-of-65 proposal feel that old
er workers should be encouraged to work as long as
they can, instead of being tempted to retire before
they need. E. R. R.
St. Patrick s Day and the Irish
Fewer and fewer U.S. cities now hold St. Patrick's
Day parades or largely attended St. Patrick's Day
banquets. The Day has been the especial province of
those Americans who were born in what is now the
Republic of Eire or whose parents were bom there,
and not many of them, relatively, are left now.
The first great wave of immigration to this coun
try came from Ireland in the 1830s and 1840s,. espe
cially after the Potato Famine there. It set off a burst
of Nativism here that found political expression in the
American (Know-Nothing) party. .
In Help Wanted columns of newspapers of the
time could be found the notation, "No Irish Need Ap
ply." But politicians saw votes in the newcomers, and
Tammany Hall in New York City, originally anti
alien, became an Irish-American stronghold.
A NOTHER wave of newcomers from Ireland (both
the south and Ulster) came in after the Civil war,
with some 655,000 entering in the decade from 1880
1890. By the latter year, however, they were in sec
ond place to the German-born as the largest single
group of all foreign-born. In the 1950 census only 5.2
per cent of the foreign-born in the United States had
come from the Emerald Isle.
The mayor of New York who reviews the 1956 St.
Patrick's Day parade there is the son of a former U.S.
senator born in Germany, and his predecessor, Vin
cent R. Impellitteri, emigrated from Italy. That's a
far cry from the days of Mayors Hylan, "Jimmy"
Walker, and O'Brien, and the American who now
wears a touch of green on March 17 is not necessarily
of Irish stock. E. R. R.
1956 Candidates and TV
The bill pending in Congress on election practices
would, among other things, amend the Federal Com
munications act of 1934. This requires broadcasting
stations, if they give their facilities free to one candi
date for office, to offer them free to all other candi
dates for that 'particular office.
The Federal Communications Commission has
ruled that under this requirement the stations may not
differentiate between major-party candidates and
minor-party ones. It makes no difference if some of
these last may be quite obscure or even crack-pot.
(Among the 18 parties contesting the 1952 presiden
tial election were the Church of God Bible, Poor
Man's, Spiritual, Vegetarian and Republimerican
parties.)
THE PROPOSED change would require the stations
" to give equal free time only to major parties.
They would be expected to follow their own sense of
public responsibility in offering free time to other
parties or candidates of some standing.
Under the act, as it now stands, the broadcasting
stations are apt only to sell time to a candidate once
he has been nominated. Then they must by law offer
similar time at the same rate to his rivals. These may
be financially unable to accept the offer, at least in
in full, thereby giving an advantage to the better
heeled candidate or party. v
A FTER President Eisenhower on Feb. 29 explained
his decision to run again, the Democratic Nation
al committee demanded free time to reply, calling
him a candidate.. All TV networks and all but one ra
dio network rejected the demand, classifying the Eis
enhower broadcast as simply a . non-political news
event.
One radio network did give the Democrats time
to reply, and their spokesman was Sen. John J. Spark
man (D-Ala.), the 1952 vice presidential candidate
but not at present a candidate for any office. E.R.R.

Mat fer of Fact on
Washington The dreamy un
reality of most current discus
sion of world problems is won
derfully well
illustrated by
the noisy Sen
ate row about
East-W e s t
trade.
Several
D e m o c ratic
Senators are
in a towering
rage, real or
pretended, be
Joseph Alsop
cause the Eisenhower adminis
tration has reluctantly allowed
our Allies to increase their
trade with the Soviet bloc. In
reply to the Senators' criticism,
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair
Weeks has chiefly mumbled that
the whole subject is classified.
This is a very, fashionable an
swer nowadays.
Meanwhile, anyone who
troubles to read that not very
hishlv classified publication,
"The Wall
Street Jour
n a 1", must
suspect that
the Senators
and Secretary
Weeks are
arguing about
locking the
barn door long
after the horse
Stewart Alsop nas gone.
From the moment the em
bargo system was set up, equip
ment for extracting and purchas
ing petroleum products has al
ways stood near the top of the
list of forbidden exports to the
Soviets. In this field the West
ern lead was believed to be very
great. Since the fuel oil short
age was also believed to be one
of the chief weaknesses of the
Soviet economy, the strictest
rules were made to perpetuate
that shortage. And how the
"Wall Street Journal" has
turned these rules into an ironi
cal joke, with a single story.
THE story is about a Texas
concern, the Dresser Indus
tries of Dallas, whose Vice
President, J. B. O'Connor, has
made a contract with the Soviet
government to bring the radi
cally new Russian turbine oil
drill to America. O'Connor will
certainly suffer if he is shown
to be talking through his hat;
yet he boldly claims that this
Russian turbo-drill is up to ten-
times as efficient as the conven
tional oil well drills in use in
this country and throughout the
Western world. The technicali
ties behind this claim have no
place here. But the joke it indi
cates is very clear indeed.
Great efforts have been made,
causing much ill-feeling among
our Allies, to prevent the So
viets from getting the benefit of
Western "know-how", in this
matter of petroleum extraction.
But now it turns out, if O'Con
nor is right, that the people with
the superior know-how are i the
Soviets. And there is at least
one good reason for thinking
that O'Connor probably is right,
too.
In brief, Soviet crude oil pro
duction has increased by over
80 per cent in the last five years,
thus overcoming the much
touted oil fuel shortage, while
American domestic : crude oil
production has gone up by only
22 per cent in the same period.
FURTHERMORE, there is plen
ty of other evidence of the
same sort in other fields. Steel
products .are regarded as a sen
sitive export category, for ex
ample. Yet a technical mission
of European steel masters re
cently found that the large, inte
grated Soviet steel plants were
actually more efficient than
three-quarters of the steel plants
in Great Britain, where the in
dustrial revolution began. This
finding was supported by the
leader of the mission, the able
executive director of the British
Iron and Steel Board, Sir Rob
ert Shone.
According to Sir Robert, the
big Soviet plants are about as
efficient, in terms of output per
worker, as the "top end" of the
British steel industry. "No in
strument one could think of was
lacking," Sir Robert said. These
and other findings of the steel
masters' mission so upset Secre
tary of the Treasury George M.
Humphrey that he is reported to
have sounded the alarm on the
highest level of the U. S. gov
ernment which was a trifle
odd, since the inteligence re
ports have been telling Humph
rey the same story for at least
two years before the steel mas
ters went to the Soviet Union.
Again, machine tool exports
to the Soviets are mostly strictly
embargoed. Yet the tough and
experienced engineers of the
American Automation - Mission
found that Russian machine
tools were both finely designed
and excellently made. They fur
ther concluded that current So
viet machine tool output was
higher than American machine
tool output. And they found that
some Soviet ideas about automa
tion techniques looked like ad
vances on prevailing American
ideas.
- '
MUCH other evidence along
.the same lines might also
be mentioned, but this should
be enough to make the point. In
sum, the Soviet economy has
grown very greatly and Soviet
technology has advanced very
rapidly in the period since the
war. For these reasons, the fa-
mous embargo is now beginning

to be self-defeating. In certain
very special areas, the controls
may still be worth the inter
Allied friction that they cause.
But aU the experts agre'e that
in most areas, the embargo now
causes less inconvenience -io the
Soviets than to the American
policy-makers.
Trade-wise, in fact," the ex
perts think we ought to stop
worrying about the embargo
and start worrying about the
final conclusion of Sir Robert
Shone. Shone embodied his con
clusions in a warning that if the
Soviets chose to export steel
products, they could under-sell
most Western countries, deliver
on their contracts, and make a
rather handsome profit, too, be
cause of their cheap labor.
Since the experts further think
that the Soviets are now begin
ning to have , an exportable steel
surplus, Sir Robert's warning
ought to be taken very seriously
indeed.

Today and
By Walter
MOUNTING DISORDER
In North Africa and the Mid
dle East, from Morocco to the
Persian Gulf, the three West
ern nations
are under at
tack in all
their key po
sitions of pow
er and influ
ence. They are be
set by guerril
la warfare as
in Algeria, by
Walter Lippmann re Demon as in
Cyprus, by a threat of war as in
Palestine, by infiltration and
subversion as in Jordan, Syria,
and the Persian Gulf protecto
rates. ,
Amidst the mounting disor
der and confusion there is being
posed the crucial question of
whether these local but con
nected conflicts are still nego
tiable by 'concessions and com
promise, by the use of states
manship and diplomacy. There
is a growing doubt as to wheth
er it is still possible to achieve
agreed settlements, whether on
the contrary there is an historic
revolutionary tide which will
allow no peace until in this area
the power of France, Great Bri
tain and the United States has
been broken.
.
THE question is whether the
Arab rulers and politicians,
their officers and intellectuals,
will settle for anything short of
the expulsion of France from
North Africa, Britain from the
Eastern Mediterranean and the
Persian Gulf, the extinction of
Israel as an independent state.
and the reduction of the United
States to the position of a hired
servant of the Saudi-Arabian oil
kingdom.
In London, Paris, and Wash
ington the governments are still
trying desperately not to despair
of : settlements by negotiation.
But they are being forced to ask
themselves whether any settle
ment is anything more than the
taking off point for new de
mands, whether any appease
ment will in fact, appease.
At this point, with the West
erners still bound to seek set
tlement by negotiation, they
find themselves treating the lo
cal struggles separately. Mo
rocco, Algeria, and Tunis are
held to be French problems.
Cyprus, Jordan, and the Persian
Gulf protectorates are British
problems. Palestine and Saudi
Arabia are held to be primarily
American problems.
T
IHE Westerners are treating as
and by separate actions what is
a wide and generalized move
ment against them collectively.
This general movement has its
center in Egypt and derives its
critical power from the backing
of the Soviet Union. The Krem
lin is not only arming Egypt.
It is interposing its own power
to frustrate resistance and op
position to Egypt. Yet the Al
lied diplomacy in its attempts
to negotiate is dealing almost
entirely with local leaders.
The prospects of achieving pa
cification by a series of local
settlements are very dim indeed.
The basic issues are not really
local, or even regional. They
are worldwide, involving all the
great powers. Even when local
chieftains and leaders are dis
posed, as they are now and then,
to strike a bargain, they are
prevented from settling by the
pressure of the general anti
Western movement.
Local settlements are, more
over, inordinately difficult be
cause there are in most of these
old protectorates local vested in
terests which are uncompromis
ing. This has been most mani
fest in French North Africa. But
there is a similar condition else
where. This damages deeply the
Western cause. Thus the West
erners do not concede enough
to win the good opinion of the
uncommitted nations.
.
THE question which must now
come to everyone's mind is
whether -an attempt might and
should be made to negotiate col
lectively at a higher level with
the real leaders of the Arab ,

movement and with the Krem
lin. As a series of local conflicts
the situation is disintegrating,
and it could readily become one
of such massive revolutionary
violence that not only the West
ern powers but the local Arab
rulers would be overwhelmed
by it.
The Western policy has been
to deal with the Middle East as
if the Soviet Union were not
present in the region, were not
already in fact a principal pow
er. This enables the Soviet Union
to operate without being called
to account, and things have been
going steadily against the West,
from bad to worse.

Kefauver Is Smart
To the Editor: I just finished
reading your editorial in Tues
day's paper. In your article
"Keilauver is Smart," I noticed
in your list of "had the Demo
crats been in power the past 40
years there would have been
no's," you omitted one that to
me by far outweighs any and ail
of the ones you mentioned. It is,
"If the Democrats had been in
power the past 40 years, there
would have been no peace."
While Mr. Wilson was in power
we had World War I. While Mr.
Roosevelt was in power we had
World War II. While Mr .Truman
was in power we had Korea, and
had Mr. Truman remained in
power we would still have Ko
rea. He had a tiger by the tail
and either did not know how, or
did not want, to let go.
To me one American boy's life
is worth more than all of the
things mentioned by you put to
gether. I am sure most American
mothers feel the same be they
Democrats or Republicans. I
agree with you that Mr. Ke
fauver is smart, too smart to
mention the things you listed. He
really would have been asking
for it, would he not?

Don't Forget Aspirin!
To the Editor: Now that the
weight of authority has squelch
ed the squirming "aginers," those
"against" the proposed fluorida
tion program, and proved their
methods of reasoning faulty,
found their chemistry wanting,
and disagreed with their emo
tional intuitiveness, let us now
add 1 ppm of fluoride to our
water supply. Then let us settle
back in the complacency that
dental problems are solved,, that
we may again continue our ways
of life without further disturb
ance. That fluorides help reduce car
ies, and that the human organ
ism can beneficially utilize this
halide in microscopic amounts
seem well substantiated, al
though history may reverse this
decision.
We may well lessen tooth de
cay, this external symptom of
our real problem, but we Ameri
cans are geniuses, bar none, at
eliminating symptoms rather
than treating fundamental
causes. Economically we apply
palliatives, rather than mee is
sues squarely. We treated eco
nomic ailments symptomatically
in the thirties with an absurdity
never before equalled in history.
We treat symptoms of physical
distress aches, pains, head
aches, et cetera to the tune of
15 tons of aspirin' daily, yet we,
as a nation, are oblivious to
what is known to many a food
"quack" who probably is un
aware of the niceties of halide
chemistry. The much ridiculed
food naturalist proceeds' from
the hypothesis that our national
health scandal, not merely tooth
decay, but heart disease, arthri
tis, etc., is, in large part, a logical
result of eating highly processed
emaciated foods. If fluoridation
serves to blind us to this real
mier Nikolai A. Bulganin and
Communist party leader Nikita
S. Khrushchev, who arrive in
London April 18 for a 10-day
stay.
The entire period will be a
nervous one for Britain's counter-intelligence
services and for
Scotland Yard's crack "special
branch."
Possible Threat
A "death to Khrushchev" sign
was painted on a London wall
recently, and a poster plastered
on a wall in the House of Com
mons by unknown propagandists
said:
"Why shake hands with mur
der? Stop the Soviet visit."
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
invited Bulganin and Krushchev
to visit Britain during the brief
life of the "Geneva spirit" last
summer."
' He may have regretted it
more than once since then, but
he determined to go through
with it.
Malenkov's visit is less formal.
He is the guest of the British
Central Electricity Authority. A
delegation of British power ex
perts will tour Russia while he
is here.
It is one of the peculiarities
of the Kremlin set-up that few

jammed with motor cars, shops
crammed with goods of all kinds,
people who have no fear of their
police.
It will be interesting to see
how Malenkov gets along. Made

Which halide (maybe astatine!)
shall we add to our water supply
to correct the-following situa

American soldiers in a group of
300 autopsied in the Korean war
showed evidence of heart disease
from fibrous thickening of the
heart artery to a complete plug
ging of one or more branches of
the coronary arterial tree. And
none (like President Ike) showed
any clinical evidence of heart
disease. Comparable studies of
the South Korean soldiers killed
in battle showed practically no
heart degeneration.

Editorial Comment
ASHLAND FLUORIDATION
Next week, the city council
will consider the question of flu
oridation of the city's water sup
ply and this newspaper advo
cates favorable action as a health
measure to reduce the decay in
teeth of younger children.
Many points have been made
in favor of fluoridation and op
ponents of the program have also
presented arguments against it.
One of these arguments is that it
is so-called mass medication.
then so is chlorination of a city's
water supply and chlorination
has been accepted for many
years as a sanitary measure.
Fluoridation has been tried
long enough to show that it is
beneficial in reducing the rate
of decay in the teeth of younger
cmiaren.
, We believe it is highly signif
icant that dentists and doctors of
our community are on record
as favoring the program. They
have had an opportunity to read,
special reports of the beneficial
effects of fluoridation and they
are responsible, community-conscious
men. They believe that flu
oridation is safe for a city water
supply; they also believe that it
is a logical step in a program of
better dental health for chil
dren. 1
If there were no other recom
mendations than those by our
dentists and doctors, we feel that
this would be sufficient to recom
mend the program and justify
action by the city council to ap
prove fluoridation of our water
supply. Ashland Tidings.
