Amsterdam Cab Driver? Learn Judo forQ Defense
Amsterdam OIUPII- I had to
type this one-handed because
I wouldn't take iw cab driv
er's word for it that he
learned judo.
Not only my driver, but
hundreds of other Amsterdam
carries are learning the time
honored art of self defense.
They learn, among other
things, how to put a hand out
of action with a swift blow
against a tiny bone in the
wrist. That's what happened
to me.
The judo training for cab
drivers here came about after
a series of alarmingly brutal
attacks by apparent custom
ers. On one night recently, a
cabbie took a passenger to a
lonely stretch of road. Sud
denly, the man flicked a piece
of plastic cord around the
driver's neck and strangled
! him.
Attacks on cabbies here
have been frequent. Police
statistics show that since
World War II fatal or near-
fatal attacks have averaged
five a year.
One driver, Cor Wilson, was
confronted recently by an ex
tremely unruly passenger. It
took four armed policemen
and two medical squad war
dens to subdue the mam who
turned out to be a dangerous(
psycopath.
Wilson contacted judo ex
pert Rinus Brecht and the
two discussed what could be
done to make cab drivers safe
from nighttime attackers.
Wilson and Brecht on sever
al occasions drove to a seclud
ed spot and practiced de
fenses against various attacks
to which a cab driver is vul
nerable. The experiment
looked promising.
Brecht then built a home
trainer which was a carefully
copied cab interior. He showed
it to police and to operators of
the agency controlling all of
Amsterdam's taxis. They were
convinced that judo lessons,
using Brecht's training device,
would be a useful safeguard.
Within a few days, 300 cab
bies enrolled i n Brecht's
school for a 10-lesson course

Brecht starts his course iy
sitting in the front seat of nis
trainer and inviting the cabmen-students
to attempt an at
tack in any manrftr they
choose. They are impressed
quickly with the value of judo
training.
Amsterdam's cab drivers
have found judo skill is a
comfcirting companion when a
latvnight passenger asks to
be taken to a lonely address.

HOPE GONE FOR BALANCED BUDGET
There's no longer hope even among the most optimistic
that the Federal budget will be balanced in the year to begin
July 1, less than eight weeks from now. It will be in the red
by billions of dollars and the only question now is by how
many billions.
Maybe the deficit will be in the $5 billion range, as both
the respected Senate-House Internal Revenue Taxation Com
mittee and Senator Harry Byrd, the Virginia Democrat who
heads the powerful Senate Finance Committee, recently
estimated. Perhaps it will be in the $7 billion range, as a
just-completed analysis by the House Republican Policy Com
mittee forecasts. Or the red ink could come to a whopping
$10 billion - a figure being whispered tn as well as out of
Washington.
Whatever the precise deficit figure when the books are
closed on the 1963 fiscal year, the pivotal point is that the
budget is fast sinking into the red - and President Kennedy's
January prediction of a hairline surplus of a half-billion
dollars already is in the ashcan.
This coming year's deficit will mark the third In three
fiscal years of the Kennedy Adminittration, the 11th in
the past 17 years of both Democratic and Republican Ad
ministrations, the 27th in the past 33 years of our history.
In all the years since President Hoover, our budget will
have been in balance a scant six times.
It will reflect primarily the fact that good as our econ
omy's performance is in 1962, it simply isn't good enough
to produce the corporation and individual income taxes to
cover the government's scheduled spending. Profits are way
up, yes - but not up enough to reach the $56.5 billion initial
ly projected. Individual incomes are way up too - but not
up enough to offset the short fall in corporation earnings.
Moreover, with apprehension growing that unless our econ
my is given an additional push, we may be facing another
recession during the 1963 fiscal year, pressure is building
for new spending programs.
No one in the Administration is yet saying this out loud
but Kennedy came near it when in his Chamber of Commerce
speech the other day, he assured the nation's businessmen
that he is trying "to bring our budget as closely as possible
to balance." That's more than a hint.
It will mean that our national debt' will soar past the
$300 billion mark and Congress will have to raise the ceilings
above the $300 billion now authorized. It will have no
tolerable alternative.
It will mean that the government will be borrowing
heavily and pouring far more money into the economy than
it is taking out in the form of taxes. In itself, this will be
a spur to business.
It also will mean that we could have a tough, natty Job
on our hands of convincing our foreign creditors that our
dollar's integrity is unimpaired. On deposit in our country
are billions of dollars in claims against our gold hoard
accumulated by foreigners through recent years. These
creditors have hailed Kennedy's determination to balance
the budget, have shown their confidence by keeping their
balances here. Should another big deficit piled on top of
i the deficit with which we're ending fiscal 1962 shake this
confidence, we could be in a bad spot.
This question of foreign confidence in our dollar's sta
bility is one of the truly dangerous aspects of the emerging
budget deficit.
Getting back to the deficit itself, though, while it s prob
ably no consolation to Kennedy, the record of his predecessor,
President Eisenhower was no better at tms stage, jiisen
hower chalked up three deficits in his first three years
achieved only three surpluses in his entire eight years and
had the dubious distinction of rolling up the biggest peace
time deficit in our history to date in the year before he left
office - $12.4 billion. Former President Truman s record was
hardly a fiscal conservative's delight either - three surpluses
in his entire tenure.
Deficits have been a reality of Federal budget life through
this whole generation. They still are.
