A glance at the papers is a look tit
turmoil and trouble. There is anxiety
and frustration in the Far East and in
Panama. In Africa, bloody uprising;
on Broadway, ihe Mafia is meriting
special police details. On the editorial
page, a warning. There is danger in
cigarette smoking.
Those tire the headlines and the

They’re Mean
.Montgomery A d v e rt i s e r
The reports from St. Augustine are
that reporters and television camera-
men are encountering more harass-
ment from white thugs than in any pre-
vious strife locale. It is to the point
where some of the television infantry
are hiring bodyguards to handle the
assailants while they turn the crank to
record the scrimmaging elsewhere.
“I’ve never seen rednecks as mean as
these,” one veteran of strife coverage
said. Some of the newsmen have
bought small tear gas pistols that fire
six shells. They look beneath the
bonnet of their cars before switching
the ignition.
We are certain that these measures
are in order and quite uncertain why
there are boob elements in every city
that think smashing the camera de-
stroys the picture ■— it only makes
more pictures. Nor does it ever seem
to occur to some one that, in seeking
to suppress news or pictures, they tire
acknowledging that something shame-
ful is going on.
Faster Than Light, Yet
New integrated circuits developed
for use in computers and guidance sys-
tems can make decisions in five billion-
ths of a second.
This is fast, all right. But it can’t
match the speed with which a teen-
age girl can squeal at the sight or
sound of a Beatle.
Wonderful as it is, science still can’t
beat old mother nature.
Sort of reassuring, isn’t it ?
It has long been
can worklore that
cording to the job he does. Rut real-
ity is not the same as worklore. Most
Negro workers, for example, long have
labored under a pay handicap because
of their color. Perhaps just as sig-
nificant is the fact that this worklore
is about men. It implies that women
are, for the most part, scavengers of
“pin money” on the fringe of the
economy.
An equal-pay-for-women law that
went into effect last week is intended
as a first step toward correcting what
its proponents claim is long-time and
blind discrimination against women
workers. It is a limited bill, covering
only about 7.5 million of the 25 mil-
lion women in the work force. The law
is flexible, and there are many exemp-
tions. But champions of equal-pay-
for-women intend to take bolder steps
in the future.
The bill’s target is the employer
who clings to the 1890 idea that wom-
en are too fragile to be useful enough
to warrant “full pay”. It will serve a
useful purpose if it at least makes him
aware of the fact that many women
are highly trained, talented and com-
petent. Many also are heads of fami-
lies .with heavy domestic responsibili-
ties. But the imposition of an inflex-
ible pay standard on employers might
vindicate the prediction of one equal-
pay opponent that job opportunities
for women will shrink with this kind
of legislation.
Employers still must face these eco-
nomic facts: women have records of
greater absenteeism, their health costs
are greater and their training is more
expensive because of a greater rate of
job turnover. Young women employes
are always an uncertain factor because
of potential marriage and child-bear-
ing.
A too-stringent interception of the
“equal pay” provisions might dissuade
some employers from hiring women al-
together. What is needed is a com-
mon-sense balancing of these consider-
ation*—employers in a Twentieth-Cen-
tury frame of mind and a government
that is aware of offsetting economic
implications in hiring women.

More About Our Money. The
available supply of money and
the interest cost of money—
this enters into our economy
in such a substantial way that
they dictate whether we have
good times or bad times, tin-
der the Constitution, only pub-
lic officials responsible to the
people should fix the all-im-
portant interest rates and de-
termine the amount of money
that the people will have
their use. The investigation of
Federal Reserve System opera-
tions over the last 50 year* now
being conducted by Bank in:
and Currency Committee <>/
the House discloses that these
vital functions of government
have gotten away from the
government and particularly
from the Congress whir h is
charged under the Constitu-
tion with these duties, and in
fact, these functions are eon-
trolled by a few hankers in
New York City using the Fed-
eral Reserve hank as a ve-
hicle. The business of the other
11 banka of the Federal Re-
serve is run by the New York
bank, as witness the fart that
the 11 do not even know their
condition until they are wired
at the end of each business day
hv the New York Fed. It. is
scandalous to let the very peo-
ple who profit from scarce
money and high into ret rates,
operate in this fashion.
It !• No Surprise Therefore
That Debt Worries are begin-
ning to show up in our econ-
omy- On the average more
than 1/5 of the after tax in-
come of American families is
eaten up by interest charges
and repayments or servicse on
installment loans and mort-
gages. Installment debt Is n
wonderful tiling if properly
used, hut if abused it can be-
come a near to crippling bur-
den. Too little is dared to be
said to discourage debt or to
p o i n t out the accompanying
problems that could become
ruinous to the individual or the
welfare of an entire family.
The People in the U. S. in

est. This was $7 billion more
than (he combined amount paid
by all of us in 1963 on our in-
dividual income taxes, includ-
ing withholding, which amount-
ed to $17 billion, plus the $21
billion paid by corporation*.
Unemployment is riot the

been rt I n i d e d. because the
money supply has been kept low
by those who profit from it.
Proident Johnson's tough
realistic approach to the for-
eign aid problem is evidenced
by the fact that the House for
the first time in the 17 yenr
history of this legislation pars*
ed it without cutting one penny
from the total administration
request. This is perhap* the
greatest Vote of Confidence
that the Congress ha* given the
President since he took office.

Washington — (NEA) — Plana are being made in the
State Department and Pentagon for a quiet but drastic ever*
haul of key U. S. officer* and civilian* In South Viet Nam.
This reshuffle has already begun. Officials and officer*
have been moved out, new and quite different men sent in.
Lt. Gen. William C. Westmoreland haa been selected to
replace Gen. Paul Harkins aa commander of the U. S. forces in
South Viet Nam. Some high officials of the State Department
have been working to get Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
brought home and succeeded by a career diplomat. Shifts of
Agency for International Development (AID) officials are jn
the offing.
The belief here is that somehow the higher officials and
officers in Saigon have been fighting the wrong kind of war
of diplomacy that goes with it. They haven t understood the
kind of guerrilla war that's going on in South Viet Nam.
They’ve gone too much by the book, haven t been flexible
or unconventional enough. "Rome very able men just haven t
been able to adapt,” says one official wryly.
The new and tougher policy is going to be that if an of-
ficial or an officer doesn’t get results, hell be brought home.
Specialists are running tests to determine what type of
officer and civilian works best in South Viet Nam. Some very
able men haven't made the grade. Others who couldn't get
along in conventional roles seem to “find” themselves in this
irregular war.
There’s another reason for the overhauL There has been
too much pulling and tugging between the military, the dip-
lomats and the AID men in South Viet Nam. In order to make
the Viet Nam operation successful, all three groups must work
as a co-ordinated team.
That co-ordination has been achieved in Washington after
some false starts. But it has been slow in coming in the field.
This failure is the root of the complaint about Lodge. As U.
S. ambassador, he has major responsibilities for making cer-
tain that the diplomats, AID men, military and intelligence
operators work closely together. There’s strong feeling in the
State Department that Ixidge haa fallen down on that ce-or-
dmating job. As a result, the delicate Viet Nam operation ha*
hogged down.
Maj. Gen. Nguyen Khanh is attempting the same sort of
reshuffle among his top general and provincial officials for
the same two reasons — inefifciency and lack of co-ordina-
tion. He’s having great difficulty. There are powerful cli-
que* in South Viet Nam. Moving some of the ineffective gen-
erals could stir up a military revolt against Khanh’a govern-
ment. Ko he’* moving slowly and cautiously.
There’s belief in the Defense and State department* that
this baa been too much of a headquarters war. Khanh agrees.
The aim now is to get a* many American* and key Vietna-
mese as possible into the province* where the military, politi-
<al anti economci war is being lout..

Wheeling ( W. Va.) Intelligencer
In support of the continuing' drive
for a blanket federal pay boost, back-
ers of the new Administration bill rep-
resent that private employment is so
much more attractive that the Govern-
ment has difficulty keeping help.
Research by Tax Foundation, Inc.
sheds a somewhat different light on
the situation.
Average yearly earnings for full-
time employes in private business, ac-
cording to this analysis, rose from $4,-
237 in 1957 to $5,011 in 1962. a gain
of 18 per cent.
During the same period average
earnings of federal civilian workers,
computed on the same basis, went from
$4,971 to $6,506. a gain of 31 per cent.
Pay of state and local workers went up
21 per cent, from $3,958 to $5,014.
A will of your own can save your relatives
a long wait in getting their hands on your
estate.
