Nikita Khrushchevs diatribe before the United Nations General Assembly,-while heating up the cold war and creating' a UJf. crisis, may help to clarify for the rest of the world the divergent positions of East and West.

IT IS SHAMEFUL that the judgeship bin has been allowed to become a political football. The handling of this Issue has been a discredit to the Democratic leadership and a disservice to the cause of equal justice under law. Mr. Kennedys Crusade The Religious Issue in Politics Chicago Tribune: , Candidate Kennedys headquarters announced a week ago that it is forming a special organization to deal with what is called the religious Issue in the campaign. Realists have no doubt that Mr. Kennedys religious affiliation will cost him some votes that he would otherwise get and win him votes that otherwise would go to his opponent Logic would require the new arm of the Democratic organization to discourage voting for Mr. Kennedy because of his faith as zealously as it discourages voting against him for the same reason. The point was made by Mr. Kennedy himself in his acceptance speech. It was emphasized a few days later in The New World, the official newspaper . - of the Catholic archdiocese of Chicago,, as .follows: ..... The issues standing before our nation are too momen- tous to let something as inconsequential as whether the candidate happens to be Catholic or- Protestant decide a vote. Such religious prejudice is a luxury this nation can afford no longer. It is bigotry to think that a Catholic who lives in accord with his faith is going to be a better President that a Protestant who lives by his beliefs; Just as 7 bigoted as thinking that Protestants make more suitable Presidents." d True to Its Name appreciation.

But one cannot forgive their determination to carry their quarrels to the point of embarrassment and injury to the very government which has given them shelter. Much has been said and written about the restriction of Nikita Khrushchev to Manhattan Island. The point is soundly made that as a delegate to the United Nations he had a right to come there without our let or hindrance. BUT WHILE it is true that he required no Invitation of ours to visit the United Na-tions, it is a great over-sim- plification to see him as just another statesman visiting an internationalized area in New York upon his layvful unemployment All they accomplished was to put millions of men on the dole, the federal payroll - and make ftn n Theres 194L Mr. Kennedys new frontier is nothing but the New Deal in a more expensive suit of clothes, with the promise of more regulation, more taxes, more belt tightening and more bureaucrats who cant make a living on their own, telling everyone else how to do it Yours truly, MAX ALLGAIER More to a Job Than-Mon- ey Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser: What do most American working people skilled or unskilled, clerks or coal miners want most from their jobs? More money, bonuses, shorter working hours, less work? None of these things, says Martin M. Bruce, director of personnel research, Dunlap & Associates, Inc, of Stamford, Conn. In an article published for distribution by the Small Business Administration, Bruce contends that more money and less work have surprisingly little to do with employe morale. Extensive research has led to 14 important morale factors. In order of importance, wages ranks a poor seventh; working hours, 12th; ease of job, 13th; benefits, last If not pay, benefits or work load, what? Bruce quotes from the survey to argue that above all else the employe must feel secure in his Job; second, he must be interested in the work he is doing. Following close behind are two other factors: There must be an opportunity for advancement, and the employe must believe that his services are appreciated, that he is a valuable member of the team effort. Kennedy Record Editor, Tribune: The perfect voting record" of Senator Kennedy to which union labor leaders point with pride is a much better reason for not voting for him ' than his membership in the Catholic Church, which has not done any serious damage to the United States. On the other hand, organized labor, with a claimed membership of about 8 per cent of the population, assumes the right to call its the workers of members the nation, It also maintains the most powerful lobby and pressure group in Washington, working for enactment of laws favorable to it, but unfavorable, to those who do not carry a card or wear a pie plate on their handband.

For the time being, with the Russians more venturesome, Dr. Adenauer may reckon that NATO solidarity has priority over the drive to Euroalliance. pean unity round the Franco-Germa- work projects. Mr. Peery cries out in anguish because 5.5 per cent of our people were unemployed in 1959. He doesnt mention that after six years of the new deal, unemployment was at a 17.16 per cent level.
