The Proiumo Case

There is no filllllll that Bl Pllnie .\llllt$l(‘l‘ Harold Macmillan and his t‘unsel-inilre governmmli have, suffered a serious new blow from the sordid events which sur- round the resignation of War Min. isier John Prufumo, The case has heell glvt-n massive headlines all over the world, and Labor opposition spokesmen are calling for a select i-oniuiiltee to probe suspicions which the\' say still remain. On BBC tele- vision I panel of experts has dis~ ru ed how confidence in the na- lion's leadership could be restored, and what effect the Profilma case would have on the forthcoming election.

Even some Conservative mem- hers are admitting that apart from its immoral implications, the case may involve grave security risks; Ind the Prime Min ster is held re- sponziblo for negligence in not in— stituti‘ng an inquiry at an earlier stage rather than allowing it, to hurgeon into the worst government: scandal in recent years. He will be directly under fire when debate on the subject, takes place in the Brit- ish Commons on June 17.

The fact that th- government must face the electorate before ()ctohel' 1964 gives point to the prediction that. the unsavory pub~ licitr. while it may not force an election before. then, will dim it; al- readr hmardniis chances of being returned.

In newspaper offircs. reports a

l l

London correspondent, there is a feeling of some vindication of thi- pre‘s. The press has suffered cen- sure and even rilifi’cation of late for alleged rumor mongering, But it is widely agreed today that with- out press probing the facts in this case might still be a hidden pol- lution of public life.

Castro's Homecoming

Premier t'astro returned last \iet‘k to Cuba after his month's stay in the Soviet Union, quit. unan- nounced. aboard a Soviet airliner. There. was no bodyguard to meet him, alid after calling up President. Dorticos from a telephone booth he took I taxi home from the airport, just, like any ordinary mortal, These precautions, (‘astro says, were taken because of his concern that United States agents might attempt in way- Isy him. For a returning revolu. tionary here this is I rather lame explanation.

In any case, his Moscow trip has emboldened him to proclaim his out- Ind-out Communism. Until now in his declarations about. his admitted or declared policies, Castro has re- ferred to himself as I Marxist.- IAi-iinist. This Is I term that in parts of Latin America is accept- Ibls as meaning one is a shade re- moved from genuine Communi.m. One might be I Marxist without sub- servient ties to Moscow, But Castro has now ripped this mask aside, proclaiming his involvement with his Communist friends in frank tonne.

He is described by In Associat- ed Press orreaporldent in Havana ‘ ialbly dazzled" by Soviet

military power" as saying the Soviet Union II Ithd both in nuclear and conventional weapons and that his m regime under its wing is safe and secure. More Ind more he is “In. himself M tho Communist finder of .n LItIn America, Ind ' Khrushchev" u the

A related reason is that Rachel Carson herself, I former govern- ment biologist, has been appearing as a witiies vuulltdt’uwlllg senators, executive officials, and practically anyone else," according to one Wash- ington correspondent. But 0th 9 1‘ factors and developments have spat-

‘ lighted these hcariiilcs.

One was the pnhli llion by the US. department of agileulture of seven pest-killing [II'OllllCls which lack federal approval but, which are now being marketed. It appears that the department can disapprove a product as unsafe and not register it, but the products manufacturer, if he disagrees with the. department finding, can go ahead and sell the product under "protest registration." Now a Connecticut senator has in- troduced a hill to plug what he calls "this shocking loophole."

Another result is that, an vestigation has been ordered to pin down am relationship between poison Ill cticidcs and the report» edly rising incidence of three mala— dies among children, a development that medical experts have noted

In her testimony, Miss Carson has not advocated complete aban- donment of chemical control of i sects. Rather she is fighting against the heediess and . use of toxic chemicals that pose the danger of environmental pollution. In brief, she wants tighter colitrol over the use of chemical p des and more research into then effects on both ‘ men and animals. She has made I i dozen or more recommendations to the committee on steps to be taken to accomplish this end.

A Job Well Done

It is well to have men in the community Whose lille of work calls for the comllinalion of qualities that were exemplified by Mr. Jack MacDonald, harbor pilot. and his Ismiates in their hazardous

‘ work on the burning tulllicr Scckollk.

The danger oi the ship 9, plotting in tho harhrlr was a \‘e ' real one. and its removal to a safer position required skill and dating of a high order. All concerned in this operation and in the. evacuation of the water front and other areas of l danger are to be warme commended on their activities,

EDITORIAL NOTE

"Accomplices in Murder" was thI headline to an editorial in the re- spected Canadian Register, quoted by the Ontario Safety League. The reference. was to parents whose children, ill-prepared for the. respon- sibilities of driving. shed blood on the road. We are aghast at the men- tal picture of the dead at Hiroshima i following the first atom bomb used in the war, the editorial said. But there have been many times this number killed by cars in the United States and Canada since World War II. And there is only the annual ex- pectation that traffic deaths will go on increasing with the added num- ber of drivers and vehicles each "I! ,
