We have said that the Morse haters would

of it because of their reaction to a recent editorial
in which we asked whether Oregon, in view of
the bad relations with the administration and
many senators, could afford Senator Morse.
IF WE thought from the facts available to us
that Wayne Morse was solely responsible for
the loss of appropriations for the four Oregon

the information we have does not permit us to pin
the blame on him.

Hail to Detroit
While Americans are preparing to welcome
some -100 new models of automobiles, the public
owes a special dicer to an addition which each
'(M car will have. That, according to the Auto
mobile Manufacturer's Association, is a positive
crankcase ventilation system or blow-by device,
which reroutes unburned exhaust gases back into
the engine to be burned.
The device adds a bit of efficiency and, more
important, it eliminates up to 10 per' cent of the
hydrocarbon exhaust. California was first to nass
a law on this automotive air pollution problem,
but Detroit has not been slow to take the hint.
We hope that on the new models, the tailpipe
may shine along with the chrome. St. Louis

chosen to support Governor Harnett in his ex
treme stand.
The administration can only hope that time
will allow tempers to cool. It knows that the great

Waiting For
Today & Tomorrow
By Walter Lippmann
(cl New York Herald Tribune Syndicate
FAREWELL TO CONGRESS
Congress which is just
about to adjourn has, it seems
to me. reflected as in a mir-
rop what the
people as a
whole, want,
what they do
not want, and
above all what
they do not
care about. If
the function
of Congress is
4wi
p a
U
to reflect opin-
Lippmann ion rather
than to lead it and make it
and shape it, then there is
nothing much to complain
abuut. If, however, we meas
ure the mood and behavior of
Congress against the new era
in world affairs which is open
ing up, there is much to worry
about.
a
I OO NOT think we need to
- worry about the refusal of
Congress to accept the big
Kennedy welfare bills. Many
legislators who favor some or
all of them in principle com
plain that there were too
many of them and that some
of Hie bills, at least, were
rather sloppily prepared and
Ineffectively presented. More
over, there was little popular
presure behind the welfare
measures. The country can get
along without them for the
immediate present.
There are, I believe, two
serious crilicisms to be made
of the work of this Congress.
The first is that it has inter
fered unduly and contrary to
I ho spirit of the constitution
with the President's conduct
of foreign affairs. The worst
case of usurpation is the pro
viso about Yugoslavia and
Poland in the trade bills. This
unconsidered clause will, if it
is not repealed next winter,
wreck our foreign yolicy in
Kastcrn Europe.
Foreign policy cannot be
conducted wisely and effec
tively by appeasing inflamed
congl'dm in 'this
proviso.
It is true that in the world
today foreign policy is deeply
entangled with foreign trade
and loicign aid and that,
therefore, the House of Repre
sentatives as well as the Sen
ale is drawn into the making
of foreign policy. But it is
highly undesirable that Con
gress, and particularly the
House, which is so big that it
Is not a deliberative body,
should use Its fiscal power to
usurp the President's initia
tive in foreign affairs.
VN EVKN mere serious fault
arises from the fact that
most of the senior members
"Look at that riot of color and tha smrlll Wonder
haw trios paopla in California can stand on linon
all yar long ... I"
The Other Shoe
of both Houses are out of
touch with the world as it is
today, and with the new gen
eration that is shaping it. In
spite of the trade bill, which
is on the whole a very good
bill, the influence of Congress
has been generally against the
effort to adapt this country to
contemporary world.
This is not only the world
in which we and the Soviet
Union are the great rivals. It
is also the world in which
Western Europe, pursuing pol
icies which Sen. Byrd regards
as sin and damnation, is forg
ing ahead rapidly while we
continue to drift.
rpHE deepest criticism one
can make of this Congress
is that with few exceptions
it has shown no sign of being
aware of the comparative
sluggishness of the United
States' economy which is
threatening our position in
the world and is darkening
the prospects of the future.
The fact that Congress is so
unconcerned also so grave an
American problem is a serious
matter.
As yet the unconcern of
Congress reflects faithfully
enough, I am afraid, the un
concern of our people. The
President has not been able
to break through it, and the
loudest voices that the people
hear most often arc telling
them not to face the fact that
the United States and the
world in the middle of the
twentieth century are not
what they were at the begin
ning of the twentieth century.

Matter of Fact
(e) New York Herald Tribune Syndicate
THE FINAL COMMITMENT
Washington - The President
has yet to make his choice,
but there is more and more
talk here of
the need to
take the most
decisive step
that the Amer
ican govern-
in e n t has
taken since
the Berlin
y
Aiinp ago. 11 i n i s
step is taken, the U. S. will
make the final commitment to
defend Berlin alone, if need
be, providing only that the
West German government
does not oppose. This is the
piece that has been missing
from the pattern since Khru
shchev issued his first Berlin
ultimatum, in November,
1958.
In order to understand the
decisiveness of this step, it is
necessary to understand some
of the complexities of the Al
lied management of the Ber
lin crisis to dale. In brief,
Britain, France, and West Ger
many are publicly commit
ted, just as much as the U. S.
is committed, to the defense
of Berlin's freedom. Yet these
Allied commitments are
largely illusory, for several
practical reasons.
qpo BEGIN with, the toil
some process of Berlin
"contingency planning" has
been going on for close to four
years. Reams of highly classi
fied paper have been covered
by the planners. But the other
three major allies have con
sistently refused to commit
themselves to Implementing
the contingency plans (even
supposing the plans are ob
viously applicable) without
further inter - governmental
consultation after a Berlin
challenge is offered. The
British and French refusals
have been particularly em
phatic. The consequences of this
rule of consultation can easily
be predicted. Suppose these is
a challenge on the vital Ber
lin access routes, for instance,
and consultation follows. It is
a three-to-one bet that the
British will then call for a
summit meeting to negotiate.
It is an even better bet that
the French will pooh-pooh the
challenge as not serious and
unworthy of notice - which
is the line they have been tak
ing in all the minor crises in
Berlin itself, desipte their
vaunted advocacy of a hard
line. Thus the British and
French alone, without consid
ering the West Germans, must
at least be expected to delay
the response to a Soviet chal
lenge, if not to attempt to pre
vent it.
IN PRESENT circumstances,
in fact, there is no way to
avoid a considerable delay for
frenzied inter-allied consulta
tions, with the East Germans
or the Soviets meanwhile
blocking the access routes
with perfect impunity. Such a
delay can be fatal, in and of
itself, even if the other West
ern allies end by supporting
strong American action.

By Joseph Alsop
The reason for Ihis lies in
Soviet psychology. If the
Soviets make a grab, and
meet with an instantaneous
and totally firm riposte, they
generally withdraw again
without making an issue of
the matter. But let the riposte
be deferred. Let the thing
grabbed be safety held in
the Soviets' grip, even for as
long as 24 or 48 hours. Then
the Soviets, perhaps oddly, re
gard their grab as, in effect,
legalized; and the danger of a
riposte is automatically mul
tiplied by ten.
For purely technical rea
sons, therefore, the President
desperately needs to be free
to order the American forces
in Europe into immediate ac
tion, without long delays for
consultation, in the event of
the Soviet challenge at Ber
lin, which now seems more
and more likely. Yet this need
is by no means the end of the
story.
AN AMERICAN move to
gain this needed freedom
has always been the missing
piece in the Berlin pattern -
and for a quite simple reason.
Nikita S. Khrushchev is quite
as well aware as anyone in
Washington of the likelihood
that the British will call for
negotiations and the French
will pooh-pooh the whole af
fair, while he takes his first
crucial slice of Berlin salami.
The fact that Berlin is now
defended on a committee sys
tem has already helped Khru-1
shchev considerably. It must
be the chief fact which has
convinced him - if he is con
vinced - that he can make his
final Berlin grab without un
due risk. Even if he believes
the President's protestations
about Berlin, in short, he must
expect the President to be too
entangled by the Allied com
mittee system to do anything
about a Berlin challenge
when the time comes.
CARRYING conviction with
Khrushchev can be a great
gain. Carrying conviction with
the other Western allies can
be an even greater gain. This
is particularly true of the
French, for Gen. de Gaulle, as
of now, Is personally convinc
ed that President Kennedy's
protestations are false, and
that the Berlin challenge will
be ducked when and U it
comes.
Neither the French Presi
dent nor Khrushchev can have
further doubts about the in
tentions of the American Pres
ident if the American Presi
dent tells his allies that he
will go it alone at Berlin if
need be.
In the changed circum
stances that will then result.
the President will be whollv
free to take all necessary ac
tion wim utmost speed. Noth
ing can stop him except an
overt plea from Chancellor
Adenauer not to defend Ber
lin afler all - which is un
thinkable. And in the changed
circumstances, the President
will also be far more likely to
have serious Allied support
than he has today.

BILLY PHELPS, professor of English at Yale for many
years, and remembered fondly by a whole generation
of Eli graduates, could not always keep a note of sarcasm
and disapproval out ot
his voice. Asked for crit
icism of a particularly
atrocious two-line poem
by a brash student,
Phelps commented, "Not

other time a colleague
described an overpraised
actress of the day as "ut

Phelps, "but that is her

Alfred Drake, famed for his portrayal In "Kismet," once parked
his car directly in front of a fire hydrant, and found a. policeman
writing out a summons at the very moment he reappeared upon
the scene. "Hi, there, Mr. Drake," said the policeman pleasantly.
"You are my wife's favorite actor. She's been crazy about you
for years."
"Thank you," said Drake humbly. "Does this mean you're
going to tear up that ticket?"
"Not at all," said the policeman, resuming his writing. "Yes

Why is that interesting?
Well, 470 years ago this
morning a man by the name
of Columbus stubbed his ton
on the little island of San Sal
vador, in the Bahamas, at the
edge of what is now known
as the. Caribbean area-where
we go for cruises in the winter
season.
San Salvador turned out to
be an outpost of a NEW
WORLD.
IVE'VE been celebrating
' ' Columbus Day for quite a
while - so long, in fact, that
it has become a trifle old hat.
I'd be willing to wager at
least a couple of dollar bills
that when you got up it never
occurred to you that this is
Columbus Day.
And, it just might be that if
somebody had jumped you be
fore your breakfast coffee had
cleared up the fogs of the
night before, you might have
been a little hazy as to just
what Columbus day is.
BUT this year things are a
little different. Columbus
set out to prove that man
could navigate a sailing snip
around the world to China.
We're getting ready to prove
that man can navigate a space
ship to the moon.
So
Maybe we'd belter pay a lit
tle special attention today to
Columbus and his once fan
tastic enterprise.
COLUMBUS' big job was to
FIND THE MONEY.
He tackled most of the
crowned heads of his day, but
they turned him down. So he
finally fell back on Spain's
Ferdinand and Isabella. Fer
dinand couldn't see it, but Isa

presence as a pawn in any
"deal" involving Berlin. And
we will know that the time
has come for the next step.
What should that be? There
will be many who will press,
for a really serious attempt
to use Cubans as our proies

of the difficulty in getting any
