MAY 20. 1962 ". ..Serve His We sat in Detective Lieutenant Lyle Perkins' office in the Medford city police station for an hour or so one afternoon recently, and listened to him interrogate a burglary suspect who had been arrested early that morning s he and a companion prowled the city. It was a fascinating experience. The burglary suspect seemed a pleasant enough chap: he spoke well, had a diffident manner about him and, on the surface at least, appeared most cooperative. Lt. Perkins was questioning him about his past activities (this was the first time he had been arrested in Medford), and in the course of the conversation, the man casually said some thing that sat us up straight. a a a LIE HAD been in prison in California a num- ber of times and spoke with a knowledgeable familiarity about the character and personality of the various institutions. He recalled that one time several years ago, confronted with the mandatory choice of a trans fer to one of two different prisons, he had asked to be sent to Chino prison, an institution set up to house felons in their late teens and early 20's. Shaking his head a bit sadly, he said that had been a real mistake. We asked him why. He thought for a minute and then he said, "There's a saying among the older cons that every man must serve his own time. The young ones, who haven't learned what life is all about yet, all want to serve everybody else's time." And there it was: every man must serve his own time. a a TTHE man gave no evidence of realizing the import of what he had said, but the im pact of those few words with the enormous truism about life that they expressed has been with us ever since. In an era in man's development in which com mittees spawn indiscriminate subcommittees, when group activity has supplanted individual in itiative, when collective compromise and "coop eration" too often win out over rock-firm prin ciple, that man's statement came like a haunting reminder of a bygone glory. How instantly was evoked the pale memory of the view of life held about a hundred years ago by men like Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Lmerson. Their basic tenets paramount, that there really is such a thing as a majority of one," that a rugged independence and self-reliance are to be vigorously cultivated, that man must bear the responsibility for his own actions and deeds are concepts as seemingly out of date as a suit of medieval armor. 'THIS is not weltschmerz. It is frighteningly true. Modern man does he not? grabs for aspirin at the first sign of a headache, phones quickly for a plumber when his istens to demagogues to think, gratefully submerges his identity in a com mittee, a lodge, a political party. National observers who rant about the drift of this country toward the welfare state do per haps have a piece of a point. While we would be hard pressed to disagree with many pieces of social legislation passed in toto it does seem there is a danger that, in wanting to help our fellow man, we may be in viting him to help himself less. We seem at last to be discovering this in our foreign policy. We have come to the costly con clusion that "dollar diplomacy" is a failure; one simply can't buy friends not real friends. We would hazard the estimate that the current ap proach that of offering to match, in general, funds raised by a country seeking our aid in its effort to improve will tie eminently more successful. X7E don't really digress. Those examples are " germane. The point is that while, finally speaking, it is impossible to ever stand completely alone (no man no nation is an island), we must, none the less, strive toward that ideal. We don't derogate cooperation or collective activity per sc. It is inconceivable that much worthwhile could be accomplished without it. And surely it is vital that each of us learn to work in harmony with others for the over-all welfare of society.

There lies the fundamental difficulty confronting the grand project of British membership In and of American partnership with the European Economic Com munity. For we must bear it in mind that while the Common Mar ket, as established bv the Treaty of Rome in 1957, deals only with economic relations, it has been agreed by all six members that they will soon sign another treaty, which Is now being negotiated, to establish a political union. Their object is to create a new great power which is to he known not as France or Germany but as "Europe." lt Is in the formation of this new political entity (hat the issues of the British-American nu clear connection arise. A LL of this is not, however, the subject of the formal negotiations which have just begun In Brussels. They are concerned, we may say, with whether and how Britain can be admitted to the Common Market. They are not avowed ly concerned with British membership in the new politi cal entity which has still to be created. Nevertheless, the political and strategic issues are, I feel sure, controlling, at least in France, and how they are to be resolved no one now knows. We can be sure that, un resolved, these problems will not make it easier to solve the economic issues which in themselves are very difficult indeed. To understand the na ture of the economic difficul ty, around which (he Brussels ngotiations revolve, we mvM realize what is the basic com part of the Common Market. It Is . a bargain between French agriculture and Ger man industry. The key to this bargain is that French agricul ture is being modernized and is becoming increasingly pro ductive. At bottom the' Com mon Market enables France to sell the bulk of the basic food - wheat and meat - protected against Canada. Australia, New Zealand, the Argentine, and the United States by a common variable levy which would prevent Imports, no matter how low in price, from competing in the European market. In return, German in dustry primarily, but also Italian. Belgian, and notch, ;rocal relation between French agriculture and German in dustry is comparable with the economy of our own political union. The I'nitcd States is a rommnn market in which there is s an economic compact n the industrial North- bctwee east and t h e agricultural South and West. On a smaller scale, of course, the Common Market in Europe rests on a similar system of reciprocal advantage.) , ' ' IS'nrii"' "T" c'('mmonP m see why the cation to join arket raises such difficult questions on both sides of the negotiating table For Britain buys most of her essential food outside of Europe, The food romes into Britain at Ihe low world 1 Red Menace a. a t(, price and there is no signifi cant tariff imposed upon it. As a result, the British people enjoy the advantage of cheap er food than do the continen tal people. The French pay their farmers $2.25 a bushel for wheat which brings only $1.60 on the British market. Thus, in Britain wheat flour costs at retail about 18 cents per kilogram (2 15 pounds); in France, Germany, and Italy the wheat flour costs about 21 cents. Beef costs the British at retail about $1.66 a kilogram; it costs the French and Ital ians about $2.16. The biggest economic issue in the negotiations arises from the fact that France and what might be called the funda mentalists of the Common Market in Brussels, Bonn, and Rome, say that, to be admit ted, Britain must open her market to French agriculture and in effect close it to Aus tralia and New Zealand, North and South America. Britain must impose, probably after a transitional period of about seven years, the common agri cultural tariff of the Common Market-. If Britain does not do this, she may be excluded and then her industrial exports must face the common indus trial tariff of the Common Market. a fPHIS poses a very hard 1 choice both in Paris and in London. How much the French will wish to sharpen the issue depends, as I have been saying, on great political and strategic questions. But there are powerful economic interests in France which, leaving all political considera tions aside, will press for very hard terms. France is in the midst of the same kind of agricultural revolution which has created our own farm problem. For example, the yield of wheat per acre has increased by more than half over the pre - war levels. France is able not only to feed her people but she also has surpluses to export. In the years 1959-'60-'61 France exported about one-eighth of her total wheat production of 32 million tons. About a third of that total export went to Germany. The French farmers, like our own, are a powerful po litical force. They are inter ested In exports at high prices, and Britain seems a natural market for French agricul ture. French and other con tinental industrialists view higher food prices for British workers as a wage-equalizing factor. It would thus be most difficult for any French gov ernment to allow Britain to enjoy cheap food front over seas, thus excluding French exports to Britain, and at the same time to enjoy a free run of the big common industrial market. VOn the British, the terms for admission present a truly agonizing decision. If the Rrilish must shut out the old dominions, which are the producers of temperate agri cultural products such as wheal and meat and butter, Hie old political and human allegiance of the empire and the commonwealth will suf fer a rude and painful, if not a fatal, shock. The issue is deep, momen tous, and hishly chained with 5l""mlm' "'on m u "ow. in ''8'1'- to una a solution, tne con tinentals will have to move into a much more generous and flexible position than General de Gaulle and Dr. Adenauer now occupy. The British are not so hard-pressed that they can be brought to a kind of unconditional sur render to Pans and Bonn. Thus the immediate fate of thfogrand project drp.ds pri marily on Tarts and Ponn.

M offer of Fact By Joseph Altop (e) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate THE PRIME MINIST1'S PICKLE London With ostentatious- I ly stiff upper lip, Edward .Heath, the able minister charged with securing Bri tain's admis sion to the European Common Mar ket, has now returned from the practical n e g o tiations in Brussels. Alsnp Despite Heath's public re fusal to be discouraged, lt is transparently obvious that the Brussels meeting was ex tremely discouraging. All the Europeans reacted badly to some of the British proposals for safeguarding the Common wealth. Furthermore, the French, supported by the Germans, rather openly re sorted to delaying tactics. On the highest level of the British government, the ugly fact is just beginning to be faced that General de Gaulle is positively hostile to British entry into Europe. The fur ther fact is also beginning to be faced that although the French may not be able to close the door of the European club in Britain's face, they can at least keep the entrance fee so high that it will be al most impossible to pay. TjVDR Prime Minister Mac- millan, these newly dawning facts are exception ally unpalatable. On the one hand, he could hardly lead Britain into Europe on the basis proposed by the French, which is that "Britain must either give up the Common wealth or give up Europe." If Macmillan tries to do so, the leader of the Labor party, Hugh Gaitskell, will make the vote a party matter; and only two score Conservative defections will then defeat the Prime Minister in the House of Commons. On the other hand, the Prime Minister and the Con servative leaders who are closest to him not only regard entry into Europe as essential to Britain's future. They have also been counting on their entry into Europe as the expect a full solution in which Britain "joins" the European Community of General de Gaulle and Dr. Adenauer. This is so difficult that we may count ourselves fortu nate if the negotiations are not broken off and if a way is found to continue them, perhaps for some years. For in the long run, the grand project will, I believe, be realized. There is a very large popular momentum be hind it, based on the manifest economic advantages of union and - on the great hopes of peace and security which go with union. For ourselves, we shall be dealing with the bigger reali ties if we keep our hopes and our policies bound up with the will to get on with and to achieve the grand project. For the Europe of 1962 is not the permanent and final shape of Europe. It could change in a few months. In tomorrow's article, which will conclude this series, I should like to return to some of the political conditions In Europe which are of special interest to this country. National Apathy Bogs Kennedy By ERIC SEVAREID The Congress is now com ing into the home stretch. What it docs in the next Sfrni couple of .'jirlj?V 3 months will 4 at det ermine whether this will be a tri umphal year for President Ken nedy or the year of one of the strangest pres- srvarrid I d e n tial de i feats on record. He had mark i cd out this year on his calen ! dar of action as the year of fundamental domestic re- forms, but, save for the job retraining bill, his dramatic and dramatized - proposals have gotten virtually nowhere with the Congress. The con cept of an Urban Affairs De partment is dead, the move to j abolish racial discrimination through literacy tests is dead, the school-aid bill is mori bund, the enormously compli cated renovations of trans portation, conservation and farm support programs ran hardly be dealt wilah In this 1 session.

The urgent need for a pow erful political restoration has been sharply underlined by the series of defects and set backs the Conservative party has suffered in the last month. The Prime Minister, in sum, is in an ugly pickle, which is made all the worse by the problem of timing. rpHIS Is an acute problem, in -- the opinion of the British leaders, because they see their present attempt to enter the new Europe as a last chance, They may perhaps be wrong in this; certain wise American observers hold the opposite view. But the British believe that it is now or never, because they think that if they do not manage to get in now, General de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer will soon mold Europe to their own ends, with no one to stop them. And a Europe molded In the de Gaulle-Adenauer image would leave no room for British entry later on. These being the main factors of the problem so strangely unforseen in Lon don or Washington until just the other day unusual inter est attaches to Prime Minis ter Macmillan's scheduled meeting with General de Gaulle at Champs early in June. Obvously, the Prime Minis ter will try to win the French President over to a more friendly stance. But except for his personal charm, Mac millan has virtually no cards to play but one. The British already possess the nuclear know-how which General de Gaulle passionately wants for his French nuclear program but has been unable to obtain from Washington. TO BE sure, the British are pledged to the American government not to pass on to any third party any of the data obtained from the U.S. as a result of their special classification in the McMahon Act. It will be a very terrible step for the Prime Minister to take, immediately jeopardiz ing the revived Anglo-American partnership, if he offers to share with de Gaulle the data he is pledged not to share. But what if this ap pears to be the only way of persuading the unyielding de Gaulle to permit British en try into Europe on acceptable terms? The question, which is downright agonizing, is al ready under debate in Lon don. No one can now predict the outcome of this debate-in-whispers at the top level of the British government. Even if the final decision is to try and buy off de Gaulle, no one can predict whether the French President will prove to purchaseable. In his Machiavellian and somewhat sadistic way, he is perfectly capable of encouraging a Bri tish offer and then returning a glacial refusal. But the mere fact that this Jshould be the present stage oi tne European problem is, in itself, immensely indica tive, lt indicates, in blunt truth, that American policy on this side of the Atlantic is In very serious disarray. son for satisfaction. If the his toric move to re-organize America's foreign trade should also win out, the President will have accomplished won ders and the other 30 or so "urgent" measures he has thrown at the Congress can lie over as the campaign is sues so many of them were , probably intended to be from the beginning. I j If he gets no more than the I tax or medical care legisla tion he wants, the year would : have to be accounted a legis lative failure by the kind of standards this administration ! has set for itself. lt would be a strange failure i because it would be the fail- tire of a President who enjoys overwhelming popular ap proval, whose party has an overwhelming majority in both houses of Congress, a President who is in personal and intellectual command on every sector of his wide front, who has organized an admin istrative branch of remark able energy and dedication and who absolutely dominates the Washington news, day after day. The entire stage is sot for a sweeping presidential tri umph - and yet the whole ef fort, oi almost the whole ef fort, mav well fizzle and fade.

Wheeling and dealing in the government's fantastic farm program operations, he ran a shoestring into a fifty mil lion dollar fortune. Now he's broke. THE lesson of it all-including the mink coats and deep freezes, the vicuna coats, et cetera, in the past? I think it is this: Government is getting too big. Its vast and sprawling op erations, carried on with the taxpayers' money, present an irresistible temptation to the sharp teeth that are always seeking soft flesh. I SUPPOSE you have been reading about the waiters' strike at the plush Waldorf hotel in New York. It has its humorous aspects, and to that extent it is to be welcomed in a world where the news tends to be over on the grim side. It started when the waiters requested the management to add to the guests' bill a 12 per cent charge for service. This service charge is more or less the custom in hotels all over the world, but hasn't got a foothold as yet in the U.S.A. What it amounts to is that the hotel automatically adds the service charge to the bill, collects the money when the guest departs and at regular intervals distrib utes the money among the employees who rendered the service. rpHE Waldorf management - balked - contending, pre sumably, that the giving of a gratuity for services ren dered is a private matter be tween the giver and the re ceiver thereof. There are many people who LIKE to reward good service. It gives them pleasure to do it. But they like to be the judge as to whether the service is good or bad and tend to resent be ing nicked for lip money re gardless of their opinion as to the excellence and the courtesy, or the lack of it, on the part of those who provide the service. The Waldorf management's story is that the addition of a blanket charge for service above and beyond the call of duty is RESENTED hy the customer, who likes to feel that HE is the judce as to is what Deiocqueville saw happening with bold Ameri can leadership more than a ccntry ago: ". . . with immense exertion he raises them for an instant, but they speedily es cape from him and fall back, as it were, by their own weight." a Tlie reasons the people are "falling back" in spite of their great liking for President Kennedy, whereas they did not fall back under the leader ship of FDR, to whom Ken nedy has been likened, are rather simple, it seems to me. Roosevelt had two great is sues to face, unemployment and the world Fascist threat which, unlike the present Communist threat, obviously all but an intellectual grasp had to be met primarily by of the whole structure ot arms. It was not merely that ' problems and his whole struc both of these challenges were ture of answers to them, simpler than most issues to-, Answers that arc, as the day but that both were of uni - versa! application; ALL Amer icans were affected, and in tensely so.

Hotels, along with other business es tablishments, don't like to do things that are resented by their customers. Anyway the situation drag gcd along until it resulted in a strike. NOW for the humoroul aspects. Willing but inexperienced accountants, secretaries, cleri cal workers and EXECU TIVES stepped into the breach and gave their all. Conrad Hilton, the big boss of the Waldorf and the whole Hilton hotel chain, shed his coat and waded in. He moved behind the bar in the world famous Starlight Roof and poured a Bourbon and water for Edwin L. Meacham, New Mexico's winsomely youthful and handsome governor. The treasurer of the Hilton hotel chain, Frank Considine, filled in as a waiter and later as a bartender. The national chain's sales representative handled the emergency sand wich production line that was set up to stay the hunger of the guests. The registered guests . . . 1600 of them . . . pitched in and toted their bags and kidded the upper bracket volunteer help. A good time seems to have been had by all. HOW will it come out? Here's a guess: If and when the waiters and such get the 12 per cent automatic service charge add ed to the bill, to be later dis tributed share and share alike to everybody concerned, the guests will grumble and pay it, but will go right on tip ping those who give them good service and pleasant treatment. At least, that's the way it works all over the rest of the world. POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) My, that was a fi elec tion. (Yawn.) A lot of us stayed up (YAWN) late to count the returns.
