Another Communist 'victory.' albeit a small
one, appears implicit in the trade negotiations
now eroine on between bast and West Germany,
When rumors of a trade embargo by West
Germany began circulating several months ago,
Heinnch Rau, kast German deputy premier, said :
"We have the longer lever." He was referring to
the fact that West Berlin lies 110 miles inside
Communist territory and is dependent on trans
port for its life.
Nevertheless, the Adenauer government on
Sept. 30 cancelled the existing inter-Grman trade
agreement, effective Jan. 1. This meant cutting
on li per cent of &ast Germany s total trade.
(The Soviet bloc accounts for 75 per cent of the
bast German satellite s trade.) There were inch-
cations that the Western allies would follow suit.
, . . The Bonn government move was in retaliation
for an East German police directive of last Aug
ust requiring all West Germans to obtain special
permits if they wanted to enter East Berlin..-The
embargo would not be lifted until the travel
restrictions were withdrawn.
PAST GERMANY appeared to be the loser. In
the nine years of its formal existence, the rate
of interzonal trade has grown to nearly half a
billion dollars annually. It came to about 2 bil
lion marks ($470 million) in 1959.
East Germany receives about 20 per cent of
its' vital steel and iron requirements from West
Germany. In return it ships goods to West Ger
many that could hardly be marketed elsewhere.
For Bonn the exchanp-o has never had the asDect
of an important business deal ; the exports to East
Germany represent a small portion of West Ger
many's total trade. '
But East Germany holds face cards, too. The
Communists in October warned that arrange
ments coveiintr rail service to and from Berlin
would be affected by expiration of the trade pact.
Other traffic accommodations were threatened.
"This includes technical arrangements for goods
traffic between West Berlin and West Germany,
which will then (upon expiration of the trade
pact) be devoid of any legal basis," declared Er
win Seimer, high-ranking East German trade of
ficial. East Gennany provides other services to
West Berlin, including the elevated railway used;
by both parts of the city and electricity for the
Gatow airport in the British sector.
CO THE Adenauer government, Berlin's mother
hen, on Nov. 30 announced that it was willing
to resume trade talks, though travel restrictions
still stand. It was not a complete Red victory. The
West German spokesman will be. Kurt Leopold,
representing a special trade office in West Ber
lin formally dissociated from Bonn. Most of the
east-west contacts have been through the Treu
Hand Stelle, or interzonal trade commission in
Berlin, a quasi-official body manned by govern
mental personnel. The Reds, their eyes on at least
implicit recognition, had been urging negotiations
at a higher level.
Also, the previous agreement had treated
West Berlin as part of West Germany, and pre
sumably talks toward a resumption will be on
that basis. East Germany had wanted to drive
separate bargains with West Berlin and West
Germany.

assured West Germany it would replace in 1961
"the necessary raw materials and goods it might
lose if trade with West Germany were not con
tinued. - '
Soviet Premier Khrushchev is supposed to
have given private assurances that he will do
nothing more to exacerbate the Berlin problem
the original ultimatum is now more than two years
old until President Kennedy is installed in of
fice. But in advance of the inevitable bitr leaerue
bargaining, the West would appear to have lost

Swallowing Camels.
To the Editor: It seems that
Blue Sunday or Sabbath is
as hard to come by as Day
light Saving Time or r a t-
poison in our pure water.
Jesus walked with his dis
ciples in the corn field on
the Seventh Day and they
plucked the corn and ate it.
He was found fault with
because it was against the old
laws that people were used to.
People do lots worse things
on Sunday than buying food
for their families.
Why "strain at gnats and
swallow camels"? (That's in
the Bible too.)
The camel .we swallow is
all this filth that comes un
awares upon the young peo
ple today.
For one example, and prob
ably the worst, is these little
books found everywhere by
the ton, called "pocketbooks."
There is very little in t h e
book pertaining to the sub
ject on the cover. Just a few
pages in the front and then
changes off to another story
full of vile and obscene lan
guage.
If the do-gooders had the
nerve they could use Larry
Nation tactics to get rid of
them if nothing else works.
There is no proof as to
which is the seventh day or
Sabbath. The names of the
days are not mentioned in
the Bible.
Moreover, our calendar has
been changed many times. It
hasn't been too long since
Sunday was the seventh day,
Scientists now tell us tnat
the earth is at least 60,000
years old. In all that time we
have no way of knowing any
thing of reformers -there must
have been from time to time
and what they considered
good or bad.
But you can rest assured
judging by history available
there was many "camels swal

The hundred or so Ku Klux Klansmen who
came out of the bushes in Atlanta last week
to protest against Negroes being served at store
lunch counters were forbidden by an enlightened
Georgia law to conceal their chivalrous features
behind masks. The law permits them, however,
to wear sheets and what look like dunce caps, and
this they did.
Negro citizens of Atlanta also demonstrated
but not in costume. There was no violence, al
though in the past the K.K.K. disguise has always
implied the secret and cowardly use of force
against the weak. The Negro leaders are wisely
teaching the peacable principles of the late Ma-

"THE Ku Klux Klan may still exist in Louisiana,

What is in the news there is a State Legislature

mally gracious and easygoing city of New Orleans
white men, women and adolescents are proving
the superiority of their race by trying to terrorize
four, small Negro girls whose parents take the
bupreme Court seriously.
The South is fundamentally sound. However
a tiny Southern minority may be right when it
puts on dunce caps. Its mistake consists in not

Evil vs. Good
To the Editor: Will selfish
ness destroy the world or will
Love save It? Selfishness or
self Idolatry has destroyed the
Ideals of Communism as well
as much of the good in re
ligions. It has weakened de
mocracies and nations of the
free world. It is the basis of
broken homes and delinquent
children. But for selfish de
sires there would not be crime
and brutality. Even our edu
cational system, of which we
are presently not very proud,
is a victim. Taxpayers are un
willing to pay attractive
wages. Teachers too frequent
ly are not concerned about
the future of their students.
Our courses of study and
methods create self idolatry
rather than educate or ad'
vance knowledge.
Law makers, government
officials, labor leaders, cm'
ployers and employees are too
often more concerned about
their ambitions than the well
beim ot our nation and Its
survival.
It shows we haven't been
teaching enough Ideals or de
veloping the ability to thinK
constructively In homes,
schools or churches. We've
left out love, the antidote for
selfishness.
The need for moral rearma
ment is great. With it we win,
Demos, Take Note
To the Editor: Democrats
in Oregon are worried- that
coalition of so-called con
servative Democrats and Re
publican senators will elect
a President of the Oregon
Senate inimical to the best
interests of the Democratic
Party and the people ot Ore
gon.
The rank and file Demo
crats, the voters of the party,
should take note of what is
happening and never forget
it. We cannot believe that
legislators who seek to enact
such feudal legislation as a
little Landrum-Griffin bill in
Oregon are true Democrats.
Democrats, the rank and
file members, believe that
Democrats ought to be able
to elect from among their
own membership who should
lead them. And Walter Pear
son ought to remember how
four years ago, for hundreds
ot ballots, loyal Democrats
stood by him refusing to yield
to either Republican threats
or cajolery. Pearson should
also remember the Republi
can animosity that refused to
accept his leadership. Like
wise, he ought to remember
that it was combined party
loyalty two years ago that
put him where he is now. Has
he, like Demosthenes of old
suddenly acquired quinsy that
he can no longer speak for
Democratic good? Demosthe
nes' friends pointed out that
the quinsy was probably silver
quinsy. Is this a Hu'-field
charm quinsy ailing the once
stout Pearson?
Democrats should clip this
letter and paste it on their
walls as a reminder that those
Democrats who enter into this
evil alliance are really enter
ing into an alliance to pro
mote Republican perpetuity of
state rule. Democrats should
let the name of those senators
promoting this party splitting
alliance become a dunghill
to their nostrils and pledge
themselves to never, never
again put an X before those
state senator s names. Far bet
ter it is to vote for a Repub
lican than a Republicrat (one
elected as a Democrat but who
votes Republican).
Democrats, let these sena
tors know how you stand and
if Harry Boivin or any other
man desires to lead as a Dem
ocrat, he should be of the
Democrats elected. Poor in
deed to cry leader of the
whole senate, the Republicans
never even tried that. The
state is registered Democratic,
A diffused Democratic party
is the only hope tor Republi

tics. Democrats beware of any
politician who allies himself

Now that did not come as a

In the cosmos?
It reminds me of a mystic
I once encountered out in the
mountains around 45 years
ago. He wore long black hair
and possessed a dowsing rod
which he claimed was an in
fallible guide to locating prec
ious minerals along with gold.
With all propriety I asked the
wizard why he did not carry
along any tools to dig out his
treasure when he detected the
exact location? He looked at
me with great consternation
a minute or two, with a twin
kle in his eyes, and replied
with a rather low pathetic
voice, "I let the other person
do the digging.'1
Evidently he figured he got
paid for the information. He
disappeared just as canny as
he first appeared on the scene.

ring the closed shop, enacted
by the state under protection
of the Taft-Hartley Act. Byrd
denounced this platform

of the Taft-Hartley Act which
enabled Virginia to act. This
was the first indication that
Byrd would not endorse the
Kennedy-Johnson ticket. This
indicator proved to be 100 per
cent accurate.
congress convened in re
newed session after the na
tional conventions. Kennedy
sought a meeting with Byrd
at this time and, the Virginia
senator being agreeable, Ken
nedy and Johnson called on
him in his Capitol Hill office.
The nominees were accompa
nied by Sen. George A. Smath
ers, (D-Fla.)
These three visitors were
painfully aware of Byrd's dis
trust of numerous provisions
of the Democratic platform
and, especially, of his public
protest on the issue of right-
to-work. So, there was a dis
cussion of the platform during
which Byrd emphasized his
sense of outrage, notably on
the closed shop issue.
Kennedy then told Byrd
that he had no idea of acting
to repeal right-to-work laws.
Johnson concurred.
This incident on the Poto
mac raises, of course, some
questions. One of them Is this:
Did Kennedy and Johnson
mean it when their endorse
ment of the Democratic plat
form covered it wholly from
the first word through the
last or, did they mean what
they said to Byrd?
' The answer to that question
will come when the new Con
gress is in session. Organized
labor went all out for the elec
tion of the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket. Big labor . believes
with considerable justice that
Kennedy and Johnson could
not have been elected without
its help. There will be art
effort by labor's representa
tives in Congress to kill off at
the source all state right-to-work
laws.
That would be by amending
the Taft-Hartley Act to with,
draw the . authority . under
which the state laws have
been enacted. To this amend
ment there will be great oppo
sition. Big labor will expect
Kennedy and Johnson to help
them overcome that opposi
tion. And at that point, tha
showdown will come. .
There are other Democratic
platform promises which are
In a similar sort of political
limbo. One of them is tha
pledge, if it was a pledge,' to
repeal the 27 per cent tax ad
vantages enjoyed by the oil,

tion allowances. There may be
quite a ruckus about that. .

Nuclear Ban
Talks Recessed
Geneva-niPB-The Big Three
nuclear test ban talks recess
ed today for two months.
The United States, the So
viet Union and Great Britain
agreed to resume the two-
year-old talks Feb. 7.
Western sources said the
recess would give President
elect John F. Kennedy's ad
ministration a chance to re
view past progress and chart
future moves in the nuclear
conference.
However, U. S. delegate
Charles C. Stelle said the re
cess was arranged because
"the experience of recent
weeks does not offer the
promise of Immediate prog
ress." Stelle, Soviet delegate
Scmyon K. Tsarapkin and
British delegate Sir Michael
Wright negotiated the recess
during the past few days.
Tsarapkin said the Soviet
Union saw "no pressing need"
for the recess. He said the So
viet Union agreed to it "at
western insistence. '
Stelle said "There is no sign
of Soviet willingness to make
progress in Important areas."

FREE-HAND PORTRAIT
Washington - This is a
small, free-hand portrait of a
young president-elect at work
in the back sitting room of an
old, pleasantly shabby red
brick house in Washington's
Georgetown section.
John F. Kennedy seems ab
solutely relax
ed - and 10
pounds heavi
er than two
months ago.
There is not a
trace: of
"nerves."' He
is, however,
deeply sober
and full of
long thoughts
over two main concerns.
The first is filling his cabi
net with the right men, as
he estimates men, and not nec
essarily with the "best guys"
or the most desperately par
tisan of Democrats. This cor
respondent does not really
know just how any past president-elect
went about this responsibility.
This correspondent does
feel he knows, however, that
few can have gone at .it in
so coolly objective a spirit as
now. Kennedy s whole search
has been for men just to do
a job. If he appoints the wrong
man, it will not be because
he was pressured into it.
,
NO ONE faction, social, eco
nomip nr irlpnlneipal hac
got the Kennedy ear to the ex
clusion of others.
For this president-elect Is
pre-eminently an actionist -never
a theorist. And this
president-elect, like his pro
gram or not, does most deep
ly intend to do everything he
can to be president of all the
people of the United States.
No one could be more aware
that nearly half of them voted
for another man.
His first and last cabinet
purpose is to put an admini
stration into the field which
can work, repeat work. He
wants his cabinet officers to
be performers at their assign
ed tasks. My strong guess is
that when any politicking is
necessary, JFK will take
charge of that department.
NO ONE goes into the cabi
net solely because he was
for Kennedy before the Los

The 60 leaders of five North

lawyers, newspaper editors
and business-men in addition
to educalors, asked that the
non-subversive disclaimer af-
fadavlt be removed from the
National Defense Education

tor me second Kennedy
problem is intertwined with
the first - and is master of
the two. This is the hioh
necessity, in Kennedy's mind,
to keep together the perhaps
illogical but effective instru
ment which won the election.
Democratic party cohesion is
the keynote of all Kennedy's
efforts. ,
He will surely run his own
executive family, beginning
with the cabinet. But he will
allow great freedom for the
Democratic Congress to run
its purely internal affairs.
Here, too, however, the sleep
less Kennedy aim will ba
