The: matter is being widely discussed with ideas to costs varying from a few millions to. the advice of Senator Edwin C. John- sqff that: we - — talking in: terms.of. biflions.” & The matter was reeently reviewed by Al istant-Secretary. of State George C. MéGhee, in charge of Near Eastern, Squth Asian arid African affairs, who re- cay returned from a trip to Africa and Near Bast, where he disctissed the pro- abel of the: United States to send tech- n@logical help to under-developed areas. ‘ Mr, McGhee reports that the obstacles being exploited fully by Soviet, prop- adpailiets: He. lists the barriers as a strong ugsurge of nationalism, a suspicion of our baste motives, an imnate fear of wealth, tendencies to suspect our aims in the “cold war” and reports of racial discrimination in this country..; The Assistant-Secretary suggests that our long record of international service, undertaken without tives, will eventually dispel doubts as to our intentions..He advocates technological aid, the enlistment of private investment capital and “broadside contaets” between the American people and the people of the under‘developed areas, We under- stand what the man means by technolog- ical aid and the enlistment of private capi- tal, but we do not get just what he has in mind by “broadside contacts.” Mr. MéGhee urges. that modest dem- onstration projeets be fitst undertaken for the purpose of giving the countries concerned experience inthe balanced and uniform “development of a small..area through proper use of water resources, re- forestation, terracing, road-building and related projeets. He thinks that if these small programs work effeetively, the people..wilkgain confidence and knowl. edge and the courage té proceed” with larger schemes. He does not think that a program’ of large-scale aid, whieh has been undertaken in Europe, is suitable to the Point Four program. $$$ arene Work, it-seems, has«a way of -getting in the way of recreation. ~ ‘This is your government.

Ideas, schemes and plans are a dime a dozen; what counts is the man te make them-count. imperialistic < objec- f° REAPPORTIONMENT IGNORED A review of the apportidnment of | Seats in many State. Legislatures, released | by the Ajssveiated Press, reveals that there are many inane qualities in the represen tation of the people. The census, now underway, is suppos- ed to set the stage for a reapportionment of seats in the national House of Repre- sentatives but Congress, upon occasion, has been rather reluctant to readjust Seats in line with the population growths Fand losses. In the states, it seems, the situation is worse. In the last decade, according to the Associated Press, only eighteen’ states have had any reapportionment. Dela- ware has had none since 1897, Tennessee since 1900, Illinois and Alabama since 1901 and House seats in Conneeticut have never been reapportioned. We do not list all of the states, but the problem appears acute in some states where populations have far outgrown earlier apportionment. In Oregon, for ex- ample, there has been no reapportionment since 1910, but population has inereased from 672,765 to 1,500,000. There are eom- plications, of course. In California, for ex- ample, the constitution prohibits any county from having more than one senator, which means that Los Angeles, with near- ly half of the people of the state, has one of the state’s forty senators. It is pointed out that “lawmakers from rural regions can dominate many law- making bodies,” despite the fact that rural population is much smaller than the urban population of the nation as a whole. Con- sequently, a big shake-up in the seats of a legislative body might switch legistative control from one section of a state to an- other, or from rural to urban bloeks, or even to another party. Obviously, it could have tremendous effect upon the taxing and spending policies of the state and it might put some legislators out of business. We do not attempt to appraise the situation in any particular state but, in general, the working of a representative government would be improved by prompt reapportionment * of seats in legislative bedies according to population changes. The effect of these changes is not to be considered in connection with the advis- ability of prompt and regular reapportion- ment. In a country where the people have the right to select their representatives, it is a disservice to popular self-govern- ment, not to adjust legislative power in wecordatice’ with existing laws and with- out régard to the factor of population. IMPATIENT AMERICANS There has developed among the Amer- ican people an impatience with constitu- tional processes, declares Professor Alli- son Reppy, of the School of Law of New York University, who says that the peo- ple have found the processes too slow and not accommodated to the demands of mod- ern life. There is not much reason to doubt the accuracy of the professor’s diagnosis or his remark that specific provisions of the Constitution -havé. ‘been expanded by in- terptétation’ of “judicial legislation” out of their original meanings. »4,The people; éf. this country, hearing much about the democratic processes and not understanding the representative form of government established in this country, have become impatient with “results” and, very often, applaud the stdtesman in office or the politician who overrides the law in order to “do something” for the people. The courts have naturally tended to expand their own power and to use “jud- icial legislation” as a way to make the laws, as passed, fit in with the ideas of what the judges think they should be. Both processes are wrong. Regardless of the immediate’ objective in sight, it will behoove the people of this country to ex- Mercisé some patience and wait for the ac- eomplishment. of ‘their. goals through the ‘rderly ‘processes’ of our governmental, Machinery. In fact, thisiis a good time for some- body ‘to organize d'special week or month to commemorate the checks-and-balances contained in the Constitution of this coun- try. A OHECKMATE ON HASTY ACTION People all over the country are asking why the Government is not firing more suspected employes in the Government Departments. The answer is that there is , a fear that many suspected persons are innocent. It is-a pretty serious matter to fire a Government worker—without suf- ' ficient proof. rh leaacepameereecaestiihataiainecampeene ime ea p care on ciap hc Bo WEDNESDAY, April 26,.1959, Re Tae THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | FIRE HITS red ENERGY COMMISSION BUILDING MEROR ROLE Jimmy?
