We. can move another long step by acting to demolish what 'has come to be known as the "doctrine of equal guilt." This doctrine is the line preached by many jieutrals and even some elements among our allies to the effect that we and the Communists are equally to' blame for world tensions, for the failure of the great powers to reach settlements on such major issues as nuclear testing, broad disarmament Berlin the 'future of South.

Indeed, the insistence with which these grossly unfair and inaccurate conclusions are repeated in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence borders on the hypocritical and im- moral. White House sources indicate resident ivennegy nas long since downgraded the idea that a real body of "world opinion" exists. His rising disillusionment with many neutrals is also documented. What better, then, than that he seize every occasion to slap down their talk of "equal guilt" and expound the truth of solitary Com- munist, guilt? The President and Adlai Stevenson in. the United Nations should drum constantly on these strong arguments : , We nronosed nuclear disarm ament when we had an atomic monopoly Khrushchev at the party's 20th congress in 1956. The depth of the split was emphasized by the fact that no Albanian representative is attending the current congress. Khrushchev's attack in effect was an invitation for the removal of Gen. Enver Hoxha as Albania's strongman. Everybody Except Chou Accompanying it also have been rumors that Albania already has been read, out of the Warsaw Pact nations, the Russian and satellite counterpart of NATO. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst first postwar in the years. Endlessly since then, we have come forward with concrete, specific, enforceable nuclear and general disarmament proposals. They have met with total Red rejection. Long before the East - West division of Germany and Berlin we repeatedbecame solidly-frozen- , sensible terms offered for a ly German peace treaty, including provisions for, free elestions, reunification, mutual guarantees at once protecting Germany and its old-tiadversaries. The Russians spurned them all, riveted their zone into the Red orbit, tried scheme after, scheme to drive us from our zones. The notion the Kremlin now glibly tosses around, that Russia merely wants a long - delayed German peace treaty, is a complete phony. We stopped atmospheric nuclear tests in 1958 and still have not resumed them. The. Russians are polluting the atmosphere with "dirty" liuclear devices at a steady pace, and have flatly rejected a U.S. British appeal to join in a new atmospheric test ban. In these and Virtually all other matters looking toward special or settlements in Europe, in Asia and elsewhere, Moscow and Peiping have erected a Berlin-typ- e stone wall against all reasonable Western offers. They nave greeted honest negotiations with contempt. We did not mortar a single stone in the wall that stands as a bar to peace. We should challenge, directly and continuously, any nation or leader that says we did. nounced Events of the 22nd Communist congress in Moscow have" i important, although not necessarily fatal, weaknesses in the house Nikita Khrushchev is attempting to build.

ALLEN and PAUL SCOTT WASHINGTON There is another! blockbusting scandal brew- p ing inside the Central Intelligence Agency that may be even more explosive than the agency's inept Cuban handling of the invasion. Two of the agency's top covert operatives overseas have suffered ill-fat- ed "nervous breakdowns." They are refusing to remrn to the U.S. to face questioning on their own undercover operations and business ventures. For security reasons, the only details of these intriguing stories that can be published jat this time are as follows: CIA Agent No. 1 This intelligence agent, who operates normally! in Europe, is now in London, being treated. He claims to be suffering from fatigue and a bad (case of nerves. One U.S. agency suspects him of tieing a cloak-;and-Jagg- er , or under the" influence of Communist blackmail.

President Kennedy said in his memorable Inaugural Address that MXwe would aid backward 1 nations because it is Mr. Alexander "right." The decision to defend West Berlin is too often presented as a "moral obligation." The Peace Corps was conceived as an act of international goodwill. The whole Federal welfare program of the New Frontier, from hydro-electrdams to. dependent children, has an air of good father giving gifts to his children. The palaver about "peace," the Attorney General's rationale for desegregating the South, and (switching to the opposition) the conservatives' refusal to countenance Red China all these matare others and ters, many argued from and a viewpoint which is moralistic invalid. Except in a vague and poetic sense, including nations political entities not to say that they no is This soul. have and that they institutions are not human do not retain some attributes of humans,. But it is a matter of degree. Neither of our major political parties, nor the Ken? nedy Administration, nor even the United States of America has a life expectancy, a rendezvous with God, a set of emotions, a personal conscience.

In a harsh attack' against the United States, he also in effect onpe morp renounced the coexistence theme. Also, despite rosy promises of a future still 20 years away for the Soviet people, Khrushchev admitted failure in certain areas of his program. He admitted continuing meat shortages, a confession that agricultural results have been disappointing. His announcement that new investments would be der layed a year indicated severe strains on the Soviet economy. enkov and others opposed Khrushchev on his plans for decentralization of industry and peaceful coexistence with the West. With one important exception, other followed Khrushchev to the speaker's stand to continue the attacks on Albania. That important exception was Red Chinese Premier Chou En-La- i. For two days, Chou sat on his hands while, other delegates vigorously applauded not only Khrushchev's attacks on Albania but also his renewed attacks on the anti - party group which Khrushchev purged in 1957. There were important lies. The anti-part- y group led by V. M. Mol-oto'former Premier Georgi Mai- - nt grounds he is too sick to tr avel. CIA Agent No. 2 This covert operative, who has held key posts within the CIA here, is believed to bejinvolved in a major illegal business transaction. His wife is known to have deposited more than a million dollars in personal funds in a Swiss bank, where the CIA and the Soviets are known to keep huge deposits for their covert and intelligence operations. Whereabouts of this agent, . who is refusing to return, is knowri to the CIA. As far as this column can ascertain, neither of these CIA operatives has tried to defect to the Soviet Union, as rumors now persisi in the Capitol. The two cases are included in the "unfinished business" that retiring Director Allen Dulles is secretly discussing with John A. McCone, the new- head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Also, the Justice Department is investigating the case of CIA Agent No. 1, after it was brought to their attention by sources other than the CIA. - CHANGING POUCYAlready, McCone is seeking answers for a number of embarrassing. questions on past CIA operations. He has asked top CIA officials " why they have fallen down on major political events within Russia, ilismost pointed question: VWhy hasn't the CIA succeeded mgetting a single agent inside the Kremlin?" National intelligence estimates of the CIA examined by McCone show that their agents have done apoor job. in analyzing Soviet psychology. leaders. Persons close to McCone prehe will discard the dict th CIA's strong "Ivy League tradition," under which top officials are hired from the "right" schools and the "right" firms and from those who had "right" social friends. the For instance, records of the agency show that under Dulles, the CIA held a strange attraction for many wealthy socialites and college graduates who could take & III it easy or strike it rich in other ' fields. Of the 20 highest officials, 17 are graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton,' Johns. Hopkins and American Dulles University. acknowledges that five of his top twenty are independently wealthy, earning as much from outside sources as they do from CIA. That includes Dulles himself, a Princeton graduate, who made $21,000 a" year as director. McCone, who is going to direct a major overhaul of the agency, is planning to change all of this. He is going to hire as his top aides intelligence experts now in the military and the FBI. capacity of Not An All - Purpose Medication Is By Dr. Harold Thomas Hyman The young mother with her coughing youngster on her knees, sat behind me on the train. As the child blasted forth on the back of my head, she turned to the older woman at her side and "said, "He kept us up all night. So tonight I'm taking him to the doctor for apenicillin shot." Then, as I got up to change my seat after a second ,and third blast, she remarked to the passenge r s in i I general, 'What's with him? Hasikatt v.i he e v e r Dr. Hyman heard a child before? What does he think cough a baby like this can do to a man n't ..: 4us size?" WeU, let's begin at the end. A baby like this can fill the air with exactly the same numbers and varieties of infecting organisms as a man the size of the giant wrestlers seen on TV. In point of fact, the cbughirfg baby is an even greater menace than a coughing giant. For the latter might have the consideration and courtesy of coughing into a handkerchief or a tissue; or of covering his mouth with his hand; or of turning his head to one side so as not to spray innocent bystanders. The baby cannot be expected to do any of these things. The considerate mother, however, can and should attempt to protect both herself and innocent by - standers by covering her child's mouth and nose with a handkerchief or tissue whenever . . it's possible to anticipate an up- coming cough. Again, .despite her good inten-tionwhat does this young mother hope to accomplish when she d money for a spends visit to a doctor, not to seek advice, but to order treatment? For the fact of the matter is that there's probably not one chance in 100 that her suggested "shot of penicillin" will have any significant effect on her child's cough or oh whatever the condition is that's causing the cough. This is not ' to belittle the accomplishments of penicillin, but to emphasize the fact that you don't shooij in the most powerful of available antibiotics unless you havei some idea of the nature of the target, and some idea of the dangers inherent in your blind efforts at target practice. To be more specific, the vast majority of organisms that cause respiratory infection, and resultant cough are not killed or even damaged by penicillin. Viruses, influenza bacilli and the bacteria that are responsible for whooping cough and tuberculosis are what is called "penincillin insensitive." So your ammunition is wasted if these bugs are your targets.. And then there are the risks. For, if your child previously received penicillin, whether in milk, as a 'local application or in tablet form, he might have become sensitized as have countless thousands; of other children and adults. Then the "shot" you so lightly suggested, or perhaps insisted on, might have produced an allergic-reactiowhose intensity could, var between a mere nuisance phenomenon and a fatal shock. ma- ker, and of administrator. Usually unless they have served a long time, they know little or nothing about municipal administration, t and what they do learn, comes from the school of hard knocks, at considerable expense, to the taxpayer. Often the skills they develop or the practices they follow are far from efficient or economical. It is rough assignment to try to serve a particular department and also make effective over-al- l policy. With regard to the concentra The Doctor Says Penicillin legislator-polic- y r tion of power in the Government, there is far less concentration, than when elected commissioners are the administrators. Should the manager improperly act, he can be deposed over night by the council. Should the commissioner-administrato- r improperly act, he cannot be removed except by a void of the, people. For the period of his term, he becomes much more of a dictator than a manager, if he so desires. As long as the manager confines himself to administration and not policy, he cannot become a dictator. The concentration of the" administration of city affairs in a central head brings efficiency and economy,. Havfng one man responsible for the lover-a- ll operation within the policy, adopted by the council, is far better than to disperse hiring and firing duties to several. To place some departments responsible to one head and others to a different council-manage- ooe is not sound. Conversely if it were so, modern business would adopt that system. The biggest and most successful corporations; (and Provo City is a Corporation) long ago found it important to obtain good executivejs and pay adequate salaries. These costs represent but a small fraction of the total costs of operation, but by starting and continuing good practices, any small' additional cost will be saved, and the taxpayer will benefit - many limes over. As a permanent resident of Provo, I surely hope that council-managgovernment will be maintained for the betterment of all who live in this community. J know how dedicated my brother', Earl Udall, was to the soundness of council-managgovernment he resided four the years during ' here, and I want to say that I personally feel that Mr.- Connell is serving Provo City verycapably as a trained city manager.
