The President is sup posed to have admitted in private that he "over reacted" in scolding the steel companies last April. The realization would make it that much harder for him not to crack down on demands of labor that over-reach his "productivity" guide lines. Yet the International ists and United Auto Workers, both AFL-CIO unions representing workers in aerospace plants, insist that they want a and that they want it before they even Degin to It . n i I L taiK aoout a a per cent productivity doosi. It was on this account that Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg July 15 warned that he will ask Conzress for laws to halt strikes at missile plants and sites if these threat to walk out July CECRETARY Goldberg asking Congress for than the Taft-Hartley Act. President Kennedy reluctance to use Taft-Hartley than either 01 nis immediate predecessors as he pointed out in his April 30 address to a largely unresponsive U.S. Chamber of Commerce audience. But Taft- Hartly could prove a clumsy instrument in the missiles and rockets industry. An 80-dav injunction obtained now would run out in mid-October, leaving the space workers free to strike then. Presumably Congress will have left Washington by that time hence any action on its part would require a special session. On the eve of congressional elections this would be embarrassing to say C OLDBERG on July management leaders to make it necessary for the government to invoke Taft-Hartley or, once that authority is exhausted, to ask Congress for further relief. "It should not be necessary," the Secretary said, and I hope it won t be necessary. He seemed to be hinting that the alternative might be to ask Congress in advance for the authority to seize and operate industries. In World War II plant seizure powers of the President were spelled out in the Smith-Connally Act, passed over President Roosevelt's veto in June, 1943. This was almost two months after Roosevelt had taken over coal mines because of a strike. Previously, on June 9, 1941, with the nation girdine- for defense. Roosevelt had ordered the army to take over the strike-bound plant of the North American Aviation Corp. This action was without specific legislative authority, but little criticism was voiced publicly inasmuch as the North American strike appeared to nave oeen fomented by Communists. TAFT-HARTLEY, which superseded Smith- Connally, extends no power to plant seizure to the President. Sen. Taft did, however, include such power in amendments he proposed in 1949. President Truman's seizure of steel plants in 1952 on his "Inherent ' power was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 6-3 decision. Justice Black's opinion held that neither the "con stitutional provisions that grant executive powers to the President" nor acts of Congress gave Tru man such authority. Thus if John F. Kennedy does desire the pow er to act outside Taft-Hartley in an emergency, he will have to seek it in advance. E.R.R. Transoceanic The first programmed transoceanic telecast focuses attention on a often will this new magic be used and how well? The tests of the Telstar satellite which were carried over American networks July 10 occasion ed a good deal of criticism as well as acclaim. Tha technical oualitv universally praised. But as Jack Gould com mented: It was understandable that the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Company, which built and paid for Telstar, would want to turn the occasion into an event for family rejoicing. But the awkwardness of the proceedings, particu larly in the introduction of speakers and guests, may be regretted since, as matters worked out, the program was the first live trans-Atlantic tele vision program." After the French reverse transmission of the following evening, Harry Reasoner of Columbia Broadcasting System cracked: "We gave them Vice President Johnson and they gave us back the Ed Sullivan show." Howard K. Smith of American Broadcasting Company was somewhat more acerb: "We are learning to communicate less and less better and better. lf ORD that the telecast from this country to " Europe will include a portion of President Kennedy's press conference came as something of a surprise.

Algeria 'Liberated' To the Editor: Algeria has finally been "liberated" and Ben Youssef Khedda, who has made many visits to Red China, Red Russia, and other C o m m u n ist countries now heads the government in Al giers. According to the July Issue of the National Eagle, the FLN, which put him in Dower, is Communist, and he, himself, is one of the world's top Communist terrorists. So Algeria has been "UDeratea like Cuba, into the most dead ly and brutal slave system ever known. Those who know the score object strenuously to the shameful way. the American press presented the Algerian picture. Let's look at the record. As citizens of France, every bit as much as the people of Hawaii and Alaska are citi zens of the U.S.A., the Algeri ans are fully entitled to the protection of life and property under the French Constitution which specifically states that the French Republic is indi visible. Yet, somewhere in 1959 de Gaulle flung the French Constitution out the window by deciding that Al geria was no longer a part of France. And 10 million French citizens suddenly found themselves dispossessed of their Constitutional rights and the protection of their own government while, at the same time, they were under brutal attack by a criminal conspiracy of political terror ists Intent on seizing power the FLN. There could be only one answer to all of this - the OAS, led by the finest and most patriotic officers in the French Army who, long he fore tills, on orders of the arch deceiver, de Gaulle, him self, had given their word of honor to the Algerians that they would never pull out and leave the country to the mercy of the Communist FLN. The OAS has made heroic ef forts to keep that word of honor. The labeling by our Press of the OAS as "terrorists" has a ring to it as false as that of a lead dollar thrown on the counter. Why has this same Press completely ignored for the past 7 or 8 years the merciless and ruthless terror Ism of the Red FLN? De Gaulle a hero? A politi cal senilis? The savior of his people? You've Just recently read this same kind of tripe about Castro - and not so long ago about Sukarno, Tito, and Mao Tse-tung. Tony Galli. 1720 S.W. Bridge St., Grants Pass, Ore. A Long Memory To the Editor: Elisabeth Poston's letter castigating Howell Appling is nothing new. He was attacked bitterly In I960 and withstood It, be ing endorsed by the electorate by a margin of 72.000 votes. For months, beginning Dec. 8. the Hatfield camp took a verbal lashing by the Attor ney General and his propo nents. The Governor retained silent dignity as befits his office.

The public should ailays MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDfORD, OREGON remember in this historic campaign that the Attorney General said David O'Hara should be secretary of state and he tried to keep Howell Appling from that office. The Supreme Court voted for Appling 7-0. Can you blame Appling for having a long memory? Rosalind C. Luehrs, 1345 Jefferson St., NE, Salem, Ore. Right Abridged To the Editor: Several bills are now before the U.S. Sen ate which would give a mo nopoly of free radio and TV time for the political broad casts of the Democrats and Republicans while denying similar time to the Socialist Labor Party as well as other minority parties. If these bills are enacted into law, the right of minority parties to publicize their pro grams will be seriously abridged. It is my opinion that this proposed legislation is essentially in conflict with Article V of the U.S. Consti tution. Article V provides for changes in our basic law. Of course, it is plain that these bills do not prohibit change but they do make agi tation for change exceedingly difficult. If the framers- of the U.S. Constitution contemplated a crystallization of the political social structure of the United States,' why did they put in Article V? Henry K. Korman, 2640 Garfield st., Longview, Wash. Stop Carping To the Editor: Is it only a figment of my imagination that people who adbble in politics are always carping? Are tney miserable because they marked "X" on the bal lot, where the majority of us did, and would like the op portunity at this late date to rush back and erase it? A fed up citizen, nolitican. Just plain citizen, what ever mess our country is in. we the people are to blame and all the carping won't change that. Until next election date, study your candidates (don't Just look at their pearly teeth and listen to their smooth line).

Western Delegates at Geneva Watching Relationship Between Chinese, Russians By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst A side pastime of Western delegates attending the Ge neva conference on Laos has been to watch closely the re lationship be tween the Rus sians and Red Chinese. They report no signs that the rift be tween the two has been Kiwiom patched up. At Geneva each of the Com munist partners Is represented by a deputy foreign minister. Thus the conduct of the two is considered a fair barometer of the political atmosphere In Moscow and Peiping. Two weeks ago Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev an nounced he would assist Pei ping against an "Imperialist" attack . It was felt he meant primarily to warn the United States against allowing any move by Chiang Kai-shek against the Chinese mainland. Slow Reaction At first the Soviet move brought no reaction from the Chinese at Geneva. Later, pre sumably on word from Pei ping, they described it as "good." They qualified even that mild response with the ex planation that the Russians simply were living up to a long-standing agreement on mutual defense. Pelplng's Deputy Foreign Minister Chang Han Fu met with Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Georgi Pushkin when Chang arrived from Peiping last month. Ask the Chinese whether the two have met since then, and the reply is, "They may have." In contrast, they publicize other Chang meetings, nota bly those with Laotian neu tralist Premier Prince Sou vanna Phouma. Chinese and Russian dele gates and officials rarely, if ever, are seen in public to gether outside the conference room. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS As this is written, there is again no BIG news on the wires - by BIG news meaning the kind of news that draws big, black headlines in the papers and gives us all the cold shivers. So Again We'll have to fall back on the little news. IN THE little news depart ment. Governor Edmund Brown, of California, says this morning to Governor Nel son Rockefeller, of New York. "California will pass New York, to become the nation's most populous state, some time in December of this year." To which Governor Rocke feller replies: ' "Governor Brown of Cali fornia is wrong. New York will remain the nation's most populous state until mld 1963." HERE are the estimated pop ulations of the two states on this July 1: New York, 17,250.000. California, 17,094,000. AS OF now, that is, New York Is still ahead. But, the California State Depart ment of Finance says: "C a 1 i f o r nia's population reached an estimated 17,094, 000 on July 1, 1962. It will continue to increase at a rate of just under four per cent to a total of 17.688,000 by mid 1963 and 18,274.000 by mid 1964. California's population will definitely exceed New York's total by the end of the year 1962." V'HY IS It so definite? " The California State De partment of Finance puts it this way: "California's population in crease last year (from July 1, 1961 to July 1, 1962) Included migrants, 363.000; increase in military personnel, 29,000; ex cess of births over deaths, 249.000 - or a total increase for the 12 months of 641,000. So It Is to be presumed California's population will Increase at the same rate during the remandcr of 1962. If so, it will wind up with a total of about 17,414.000 at the end of 1962. Governor Rockefeller is invited cour teously to put that expected figure in his pipe and smoke it. II'HAT was it the Governor ' of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Caro lina In their famous conversa tion? I've forgotten, and can't find It In the books.

Even their newsmen keep apart, seeking contact with Western newsmen rather than with their Communist col leagues. Chinas Tougher At the conference table, the Communist Chinese have tak en an unmistakably tougher line than their Russian allies. The Russians have sought a settlement, while the Chinese have pushed an aggresisve anti-Western line. Today & Tomorrow By Walter lippmann (cl New York Htreld Tribune Syndicate FOR A TAX CUT NOW On the question of a tax cut, with which the President is now wrestling, the unde cided issue is whether to for one reason only. There is some doubt Llpomuui whet her, in the few weeks that are left before adjournment, the chair man of the two key commit tees, Rep. Mills and Sen. Byrd, will allow Congress to vote. The significant thing about their veto is that almost cer tainly the two chairmen will not have it next winter. For by that time, if, as it now seems probable, our sluggish economy has begun to recede, tax reduction will go through Congress by acclamation. The chance of a Mills-Byrd veto this summer, which is what causes the President to hesitate, is primarily due to the fact that as yet recession is only indicated and is not yet being experienced. Can the President induce Congress to act to prevent a recession, or are we doomed to wait for a recession and then try to reverse it? The fundamental question is whether we have a government which can act with foresight, which can take the stitch in time that will save nine. SINCE the Wall Street crash at the end of May there has been a sharp and rapid change of responsible and ex pert opinion. The crash alert ed those who watched the economy, causing them to ask whether the Kennedy recov ery of 1961 was going to peter out before it went much fur ther. There had been a very few who had predicted this last January when the Ad ministration, using what had proved to be erroneously op timistic estimates, adopted a restrictive and deflationary fiscal policy. The unfounded optimism ended a few days after the crash. The business reports which have come in during June and the first half of July show that with a few excep tions, automobile sales and residential construction, the recovery is sluggish and is slowing down. Employment and industrial activity, prof its, inventory replace m e n t, and capital Investment are so sluggish that the recovery ap pears to be nearing its end. It would seem that by the onset of winter there will be a re cession. Prof. Samuelson says that the peak of total profits was In fact reached at the end of last year and that the rate of unemployment, which has never gone below 5.4 per cent, will from now on be rising. lyE ARE not, let us repeat. as yet In a recession. But we are on the verge of one. This is the critically important time for the government to act in order to stimulate the expansion of economic activi ty. The longer it waits, the stronger will the medicine have to be. It has already waited six months too long, and so it will need to use stronger medicine today than It would have needed last January. If it waits until the recession has actually begun, the chances are that the com paratively agreeable medicine of a tax cut will not be enough, and will need to be supplemented by more gov ernment spending. The reason for this Is not complicated and it is of great significance to the question of whether to cut taxes now or to wait six months. The Imme diate effect of a tax cut is to stimulate consumer buying. If this takes place when indus try is working somewhere near full capacity, the con sumer demand will stimulate industry to modernize and en large its plant. This capital spending will sustain the re covery. On the other hand, if the recession is on, with un employment rising, with plant utilization declining, the addi tional consumer purch ases will not tend to stimulate capi zn V .. ask for it this 5 r,vJ summer or to Vfej wait until '' 4 1 next winter. ?f The issue is as V ji I yet undecided Khrushchev's warning that he would assist Peiping in case of attack was his first conciliatory gesture toward Red China in many months. Both deny the existence of a split, and the Chinese es pecially resent any reference to it. But the attitudes at Geneva illustrate that it is there, and that the Chinese more and more are pushing their own policies. and ignoring all the political consequences, the case for act ing at once is a very powerful one. rESPITE all this, despite " the weight of expert and responsible opinion, the Presi dent is hesitating because he dreads the consequences of asking for a tax reduction and being refused by Congress. It is true that if he tries for it and fails, he may be vulner able to the demagogic charge that he has shaken public con fidence and brought on the re cession he tried to avert. In 1957, when the coming of the third Eisenhower reces sion was indicated, President Eisenhower was, so I under stand, advised to reduce taxes. He refused, not only because he did not want to enlarge the deficit but because he was afraid that to talk about pre venting a recession would bring it on. So the President waited. The result was an enormous budgetary deficit, the largest in time of peace, a painful recession, and, we may add, a might contribution to the Republican defeat in the election of 1960. ptOR President Kennedy it is, I believe, a greater risk not to try than to try and to fail. If he tries boldly for an adequate tax cut to avert the recession, he will gain much if he succeeds. He will have an excellent prospect of pro longing the recovery, of mod erating the eventual down turn, and of proving decisive ly that he does know how to get the economy moving. If he tries and fails to carry Congress with him, he has as President ample means to make the country realize who is responsible for refusing to apply preventive medicine. The country understands how much better is prevention than cure. For the President to act when on the merits of the problem he ought to act, to go to the Congress now, to go to the country now, has its risks, and there may be some political unpleasantness. But It will be still more unpleas ant to have a recession that the Administration knew how to prevent and didn't prevent, and along with the recession more unemployment, more idle plants, sinking profits, and a still deeper decline in the stock market. 'THE President should, I be - lieve, make the decision and cut the Gordian knot. He should present a simrjle and temporary but fully adequate reduction of corporation and individual income taxes to take effect not later than Sept. 1. For the best way to handle a nettle is to grasp it firmly.

Harris (c Field Enterprises tne- PERSONAL PREJUDICES Those who insist that they can forgive, but they can't forget, fail to grasp that tha essential end in forgiving con sists in the forgetting. Three new novels I strug gled to get through and fi nally had to give up on are "The B i g Laugh," by O'Hara, "Youngblood Hawke," by Wouk, and "The Sound of Bow Belles." by Wiedman all of them dull, pointless and long winded; and all by com mercially successful novel ists. It's easy to say of a child less wife, "What a pity sha has no children of her own, since she seems to be so good with them" - but many a woman who is "good" with other's children cannot stand up under the pressures and re sponsibilities of her own. We used to judge a man by the company he kept; but the modern organization man is judged by the company that keeps him. What the suspicious minded fail to understand is the truth expressed in Frank Crane's brief warn ing: "You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if if you do not trust enough." The chief argument against co - educational college is that it forces the women to adopt the intellectual atti tudes of the men and a woman's mind cannot, and should not, work the sama way as a man's. I have never been able to understand why so many auto mobiles seem to stall on rail road crossings; and, given that, why so many motorists; remain in their cars and are hit by trains - there is some thing most peculiar about a man who stays behind tha wheel of a car stalled on a railroad track. Most discussions about the "appreciation" of art are utterly futile; for. as Vlaminck once said, "Good painting is like good cook ing; it can be tasted, but not explained." Advice is never appreciated for if it turns out well, tha recipient thinks it was his own idea; and if it turns out badly, he eternally blames the giver. A dictatorship always looks "stronger" than a democracy, until it begins to collapse and then its disintegration is swift and inevitable, while a democracy gathers strength and power under crisis. What society calls a "sex fiend" is, in nine cases out of 10, some pathetic crea ture who is incapable of sex at all. I am convinced that heart attacks are much more com mon among men than among women not because men are more constitutionally predis posed toward them but be cause women provide each other with therapy by their mutual confessions of weak ness and worry, while men bottle up their deepest con cerns until the cork finally blows out.
