Both the proclamation and tRe leefc yttl ltfiilation reflect the general concasa for oafrty on the waters now that we aire rgpidly Doeefcajfltf wtiofi of sailors. Latest data available frof& the Outboard Boating club of America, complied with the federal num Daring lr to attt. Numbering bills are pending befow tUt lefisl tures of 18 additional states. The 1958 $et alio re quires that boat operators involved in. resident causing damage of more than 100 file reports with their state boating of the Treasury at Waskington. "Safety on our recreational gateways i the result of common sense, courtesy, and education," Vice Admiral A. C. Ricftmonfi, Commaadant of the U.S. Coast Guard, a Treasury adjuriet1, writes in a new booklet on water safety. "Whether frlotorboatcfjecomes a pleasure Boat op aienace to life and property depends upon the manner in which it is maintained and operated." PLEASURE boating has become a national hob- by. Almost one in every five Americans ffoes boating more than once 1958 some million of us enjoyed pleasure boating. Weiised 7,330,000 watercraft 376,000 more than in 1957. Theastest growing; sport, ac cording to figures compiled by theOutboapd ckl and the National Association of Boat and iSngine Manufacturers, adds up ness. And it has become democratize. Gone for the molt part are the CorsaiPs. flie Nourmahals, and the Flying Clouds although l&rt summer aid see a revival of the Amer-icafo Cj$ competition. The recreational craft last year Ex cluded 481,000 motorboats more than 16 feet lop and 44,000 auxiliary sailboats (numbered by'tfte Coast Guard for use on federal waterways) : 000 inboard motorboats federal jurisdiction, and 4,021 larger cruisaw ga auxiliary sailboats documented by the U.fc. Bu reau of Customs: 486,000 sailboats without if- board engines and some smaller, craft using outboard motors. THE pleasure boat fleet last-year required million gallons of gasoline and 22 million gtf lons of lubricating- oil. KeeDinsr the boats snip- shape called for 10 million gallons of saint ajig varnish. , Sales of outboard motors are reported running 50 per cent ahead of lastjyear in some areas. J7gy-as-you-cruise plans are'uifered buyers of cruieer. Several states issue pamphlets suggesting long and short voyages over their waters. "Boatels" are springing up on all the coasts and waterways, frequently in association witll marinas, which are the boater's combination of service station, restaurant, and general store. Water skiing alone claims some 6 million de votees. Leisure and luxury and with luck, safety characterize the 1959 boating outlook. Cutting Commuter Service The nation's seventh largest comriiuter line, the Delaware, Lackawanna 8s Western, drops 82 passenger trains from its schedule on June 9. But. it won't be quitting the coinxiuter business en- tirely. It may not have wanted) anyway. Confusing? It's like this: Some ffine ago the Lackawanna asked the New Jersey Public Utili ties Commission for permission to discontinue 96 week end and off peak trips. It followed this up on April 10 with notice of intention to abandon all suburban commuter operations. The P.U.C. okayed most of the first request but turned thumbs down on the second after Rich ard B. Wachenfeld, attorney for the road, vir tually conceded at a hearing on May 5 that tha Lackawanna didn't want to fold up its passengC business. Asked if the Lackawanna really plan ned "to go through with the abandonment," Wachenfeld replied: "We're not surer ourselves what will happen. We hope to get tax assessment relief, fare increases, and other points." f IKE most other U.S. roads, the Lackawanna has been losing heavily on its passenger opera tions, $5 million in 1958, $5.5 million-in 1957. (Overall, the industry lost $610 million on passen ger operations in 1958 and $723 million in 1957 according to Interstate Commerce Commission figures.) The Lackawanna has been pressinglfor favored tax treatment in New Jersey, and it has an application pending with the I.C.C. for higher commuterCferes. o Whether the shutdown notice was or wasn't blackjacking the public as one of the PUC com missioners charged, it is apparent that thg rail road industry as a whole has made considerable progress in convincing the public that relief is re quired if the passenger end of the business ivto survive.

In the nearly four vee&s of the conference, both ides have demonstrated they, ere operating from prepared posi tions from which neither can retreat. As have his predecessore at a half dozen other Big Four conferences, Soviet Foreign Minister Afldrei Gromyko has taken up a great deal of the conference time with propaganda attacks against the West, especially the North Atlantic Treaty ' Organization (NATO) and against the alleged aggresive intentions of the West German Republic. When Gromyko was silent, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev ably filled the void. Yet, through the smoke Lippmann magic pf the Eisenhower per sonality and it is quite suf ficient to account for the fact that he is so much stronger than his party. .. I have heard this explana tion confirmed by two active Democratic candidates for the Presidency. They both have said from first hand exper ience among the voters that when it comes to the Presi dency, as distinct from Con gress, what the voters are looking for is a candidate they can trust to deal weU with the issues of peace and war. It is evident enough that all the serious aspirants in both parties know this to be true. That is why none of them, in either party has chosen to make any domestic question his paramount issue. This is why all of them are seeking to identify themselves in the public mind with the conduct of foreign affairs.

West Berlin, with its 10, 000 Allied troops and its booming economy, remains a deep-seated thorn in Commu nist flesh, but only that. A Germany permanently divided, between East and West remains the Soviet Union's ultimate objective. Berlin can come later. Khrushchev's strategy has taken two tacks. First, he announced last Nov. 27 that in six months Russia would turn control!) oti communications with West Berlin over to the Communist East Germans and demanded that the Western Allies get .

WILSON United Press International Washington (DPD Perhaps James A. Farley can illumin ate that troublesome question of religion in politics which has become timely again because Sen. John F. Ken nedy 'is ,a Roman Catho lic. For those who came in" T- Lyle C. Wilson very late: iun Farley was campaign man ager of Franklin D. Roose velt's 1932and 1936 electoral triumphs. Farley balked at a third term. When FDR was nominated in 1940 for the third time Farley refused to manage his campaign again. Farley in 1940 was, him self, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nom ination in token opposition to term number three. He would have settled happily for sec ond place on a ticket headed either by John N. Garner of Texas or the late Cordell Hull of Tennessee. In. his book, "Jim Farley Story, The Roosevelt Years," Farley develops the story of FDR's third term nomination. It was a political nonesuch voter nobody, but nobody, wUl be looking over his shoulder.

At the conference, using Gromyko as his mouthpiece, he has threatened to sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany unless the foreign ministers reached agreement. AU Or Nothing He has attempted in each case to cloak his moves in in ternational legality. In each case, the Western Allies have replied that no final agreement can be reach ed on any part of Germany without full agreement by the four powers that' participated in the German surrender in 1945. Therefore, Russia cannot proclaim an independent East Germany any more than East Germany can claim control over Berlj. O Both still are subject to Allied controls.

The third termers feared Farley's can didacy might wreck the plan. Perhaps even FDR feared that. Cardinal ' Intervened So. Farley relates, he was summoned by Cardinal Mun- delein of Chicago, and met with him on July 12, 1939, in New York. The cardinal had a major purpose ... to per suade Farley to support FDR's third nomination and elec tion. Farley wrote this: " 'James," the cardinal studied me earnestly,- 'you have always been most frank with me.' so that I feel entire ly free in broaching a most confidential matter to you. It is my sincere feeling that a Roman Catholic could not be elected president of the United States at this time or for many years to come. I hope, therefore, that you will do nothing to involve the Catholics of the country in another debacle such as we experienced in 1928 (when Alfred E. Smith of New York got - the Democratic : nomina tion'.)" ! Farley's response was that he did not feel free to discuss FDR's third term possibilities because "I do not think you are the proper person" with whom to discuss them. Card inal MundeleuOxpressed ab solute confidence that FDR would seek a third term. Far ley thought not, although he could not be sure. "James," Mundelein insist ed, "I do not believe a Catho lic coulcVwin." Farley Disagreed Farley replied: "A great many persons, among them thevice president (Garner), senatoO, representatives, and party leaders feel differently. Men-, who know something about politics. Conditions are not the same as they were 10 or 20 years ago. 'When'' Smith ran, the Democratic party was not in power; Smith was in the front of the fight for repeal of the proMbitic law: be country fwas prosperous; Smith's choice of (John J.) Raskob, a Republican, for chairman was an affront to anything but skillful and dip lomatic; it was doubtful that any Democrat could have been elected in that year, and the renjfious issue should not be blamed alone for Smith's defeat. On the other side of thej picture, there isrno rea son to belied that the Demo cratic party will not win in law."

J We sver Close than Drags Western Germany was not in tended as a final treaty. It still is referred to as the Bonn agreement on convention. And the outlines of East and West Germany still follow the outlines of the original occupation zones. On that basis, too, there is not even need for an "in terim" agreement on Berlin. That agreement was made years ago and It, Jike all the rest, must ' wait for final settlement of all of Germany. And therein lies the great stumbling block. The West cannot abandon West Berlin to the Communists Unless it also 'abandons every treaty with every anti-Communist nation. Russia, embarked on a gigantic program of eco nomic expansion, must have stab'Uty yet it cannot counten ance a reunified anti-Communist Germany. It needs an internationally recognized East Germany where the last hope of free dom has been crushed. in Politics how the religious issue weighed in the 1928 contest between Smith .and Herbert Hoover. There should be some comfort for'Kennedy in that estimate. It seems to cut the issue of religion in politics down to size.

K., IN one of his char Al acteristic blasts, cuts loose at the West and predicts the eventual triumph of commun ism over capitalism. What's he up to? Well, basically, he's hoping to SCARE us. If he can scare us, he'll have it made. SOMETHING to remember: Just about 15 years ago, lacking a few hours, we were tackling the mightiest invasion job in history. We had -assembled on the English coast the mightiest invasion armada in history. It was poised to strike across the English chan nel in an all-out, do-or-die as sault on Hitler's vaunted At lantic wall. It was everything or noth ing. We had before us the ex ample of the Spanish Armada which Philip II sent against England in 1588. If the Ar mada had succeeded, England would have been a goner and Spain would have been su- nationalreme. wf"a t nV It didn't succeed. It FAILED. Its failure cooked Spain's goose for all time. COULD have been theO same with us a decade and a half ago on that fateful June day when General Eisenhower gave the final command that turned our invasion forces loose. The invasion didn t fail. It succeeded. It succeeded because we had what it took to make it suc ceed. HAVE we still got it? I think we have. If Mr. K. thinks we've got it, he won't loose his armada. That's about the dze of it. to need us and not know us. Mrs. Litwiller o o O 0 0
