President Elicnhower an-
nounced a new International
Organizations Loyalty Review
Board on June 2. It applies the
same loyalty standards to Ameri-
cans working for the UN as his
aarller order put in force for
V. S. government employes.
'A HOUSE government opera-
tions subcommittee under
Itep. Charles B. Brownson (R.,
ind.) has also piled up a good
record in handling State Depart-
ment matters.
Its first project was investiga-
tion of the State Department’s
overseas building program, the
committee disclosed numerous
examples of extravagance. The
program was cut down.
The Brownson committee took
up the case of John C. Montgom-
ery, a State Department em-
ploye in charge of Finnish af-
fairs. Last Jan. 24, he committed
suicide by hanging. The reason
given was disappointment over
inability to pass Foreign Service
exams. The Brownson committee
discovered Montgomery had a
neuro-psychiatric case history.
In the State Department, ho
had been put in charge of the
Finnish desk w ithout the per-
sonnel office being informed. His
record had him listed as being on
some other, less sensitive work.
That disclosure led to a com-
mittee examination of State De-
paitment security and personnel
nary action of the House Rules Committee
in Voting to bring a bill to tlje floor call-
ing for she months* extension of the excess
profits tax, as requested by President Eis-
enhower.
The rules group resorted to that stra-
tagem because Reed flatly fefuaed to al-
low the measure to come to a vote in his
own cOmtnlttee,, which normally handles
all tax proposals. Reed wants the tax to
expire right now.
Mr. Eisenhower shares Reed’s distaste
for EPT, but believes it unwise to >t tye
tax die before scheduled January reduc-
tions in general income-taxes. Both ;House
and Senate leader committed ;tb*Bi8*lve8
to the President’s support.
Reed’s single-handed effort to block
EPT extension amounted to a kind of one-
man rule. He claims he was taking the
heat that should have fallen on many
members of his committee as well. But
there w«s no reason for him to suffer thus.
If a committee majority was against the
bill, that fact should have; been brought
oi|t--ih a vote.
That’s the way such matters are set-
tled in a democracy, whether the. issue be
in committee, on the legislative floor, qr
before the people. To blockade normal
procedures as Reed did is certainly diffi-
cult to. defend as a democratic acafipn.
He complains about the Rules Commit-
tee’s move as “striking at the very foun-
dations of our representative system of
government." Admittedly the tactic Is ex-
treme, apd it Is also unprecedented. But
It was forced by Reed’s own extremes. It
was a desperation maneuver by men seek-
ing out of a powerful dilemma.
The lesson in this episode ought not to
be lost on Capitol Hill. The Congress is
an assembly of lawmakers charged with
the duty of working cooperatively to pro-
duce effective legislation responsive to the
people’s will. It is not supposed to be a
collection of little kings ruling over their
separate principalities and defying all
comers.
If Reed wants the rights of his com-
mittee or any other to be respected by his
fellow lawmakers, he must begin by re-
specting them himself. This he has not
ckrne, and so he cannot com plain.-that Ms

Washington.—Born blind! Stunning news to
the parents who had so waited and planned for a
baby. Why did this happen to our child? What
will we do? ..............
“It takes most parents a long time to get used
to the fact that their child ean’t set,’’ Edith M.
Baker, ehief of the Medjca) Social Work Section
of the U. 8. Children’s Bureau, says. “They feel
apart from other parents. They may even, wrong-
ly, feel that It’s their fault They are anxious
about the baby’s futura.”
A Children’s Bureau booklet, “The Preschool
Child Who Is Blind,” says it’s important for par-
ents to realiae their baby ia first of all a child—
far more like than unlike a seeing child—and that
like every child, he needs to know he is loved and
wanted.
"The first year Is to important in having ths
child’s lif* develop as other children’s do,” Mies
Baker told me. "The baby who is born blind
doesn’t know what saaing is, or that he’s mining
