MONDAY. MAY 6, 1968 The Next 60 Days Gov. Hughes admits that his February budget was a housekeeping budget a skinflint budget, even.

He concedes he made a mistake, and now he has summoned the New Jersey Legislature to chart a program for greatness, a program to move New Jersey forward for the next quarter of a century. The next 60 days will tell whether this predominantly Republican Legislature will pass the test. These could be 60 of the most crucial days in the history of the state. An unprecedented opportunity exists for the legislative and executive branches of state government to come together for the benefit of 7 million New Jersey men. If the opportunity is lost New Jersey can look forward to years of stagnation and despair.

The issue is a state income tax, a tax that will eventually be instituted in any event. The sooner we admit this and adopt the tax, the so sooner we shall begin to solve the crushing problems of highways and schools and institutions and water pollution and air pollution and welfare and narcotic addiction and crime and all the other assorted questions still unresolved. Medicaid, for example! The 60 days will be decisive because if the challenge isn't met by the end of June it probably won't be met for another half dozen years, years in which situations already intolerable can deteriorate into wholly unmanageable crises. Next year a gubernatorial election will be held in New Jersey, and no candidate running for Governor his first time out is going to run on an income-tax platform. In his first term he'll try to be cute about taxes and preserve his popularity.

Only in the middle of his second term will he come to the realization that he is a free agent and must act for the benefit of the state rather than for personal popularity or party popularity. This has been the case with Gov. Hughes. The Governor confesses he has turned around. He has seen the overcrowded highways and the brokendown college system, and knows that only massive spending will correct them.

We keep coming back to income tax. But let's not ask people what they think of an income tax; that's loading the question. Ask instead what they think about colleges and highways and recreation areas. Let's think positively. The Legislature can begin by asking itself what is right, not who is right.

It can begin by moving toward bipartisan endorsement of a state income tax. It can work to educate people as to the need for a broadbased tax, which the sales tax is not, and for a progressive tax, which the sales tax is not. We've 60 days. Some one's knocking at the door. We'd betted answer before opportunity turns away and is gone.

Matter Of Policy The frightening picture that emerges from Hue is grisly slaughter of the innocents. It is a horror that documents the thesis that war is hell. A thousand civilians, some shot, some beheaded, others clubbed to death or buried alive, were murdered at Hue by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops. The slaughter was deliberate and without mercy. The act of barbarism should not pass unnoticed.

It demands worldwide condemnation. It demands to be publicized so the nations of the world understand what kind of savage the United States battles in Vietnam. The murder of civilians is an act always shameful and disgraceful. When United States bombs kill civilians the incidents have not been overlooked. To the victim it is irrelevant whether he has been killed by an American bomb or by a barbarian calling himself the National Liberation Front.

But there is a difference, and it is not irrelevant. The murder at Hue was deliberate; it was an act of policy. It was premeditated. Bombs sometimes miss their mark, killing civilians. Computing errors result in shells' landing in a densely populated area.

These are mistakes. They take life. This is horrible. But the act is neither deliberate nor premeditated. It is not United States Government policy.

That's the difference. When you're dead it may be: a small point, but for the living the point is essential. One nation's error is another nation's policy. The difference is larger than it may seem at first. Author! Author! You won't find it at your favorite bookstore, but "Revised Ordinances of the City of Paterson.

New Jersey" is the new best-seller in Passaic County. The honor is deserved. In 628 pages of prose that neither sparkles nor entertains one can get an education. For example, one can learn that penalties have been eliminated for speeding on horseback in Paterson. Another penalty that has been dropped is the $5 fine for carrying away water from the drinking fountains of the city.

The book cost the city $32.000, and it's worth every cent not because it has eliminated ordinances no longer pertinent to Paterson and its citizens but because for the first time Paterson residents will be able to go to City Hall and ask a clerk for information about a municipal law and get an intelligent response. All permanent and general laws are grouped in one volume so that all local ordinances are now instantly available. This is literally a giant step forward. The volume has been 7 years in the making. and it sells for $25 a copy.

While the average resident may suppose the volume is imposing, consider that 4.000 ordinances have been whittled to 1,000. This has been a heroic ment, and the city and Julius Wildstein, editor of the book, are to be congratulated for their efforts. A TO POLLUTION GOP EDUCATION HUGHES 3 950 BILLION BOND MILLION INACTIONS BOND ISSUE FINANCIAL ISSUE Behind The Headline National Art Gets A New Home By MARK STUART Staff Writer WASHINGTON -The 01d Patent Office Building at 8th and Sts. was awash with light: It's only a couple of home runs away from the scene of one of the worst riots in the nation's capital and the guests arriving, in evening clothes on the unusual number of policemen at the entrance. It was a posh crowd parading in a sedate fashion show through the halls which once housed the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin's printing press, and makeshift hospital where once nursed and President Lincoln and Walt Whitman came to visit the wounded.

In later years this grand old federal structure had fallen on shabby times housing finally the functionaries of the Civil Service Commission. It was barely saved from demolition in the Eisenhower years, though its architect had designed the Washington Monument and the Treasury Building. Now the Smithsonian Institution's National Collection of Fine Arts will take over the building to house its 11,000 paintings, prints, and sculpture- national treasures. How fitting to own national museum for the first time housed in a building almost as old as our country, full of memories that were saved from being wiped away unfeelingly by the bureaucracy it once housed. France has its Louvre.

Spain has the Prado. England has two homes of national treasures, the National lery and the Tate. Russia has the Hermitage. Now we have our own place where the works owned by the nation itself can be on display. It will be open beginning today visitors American cultural achievement from Gilbert Stuart and Benjamin West through Frederick Remington, Whistler, Winslow Homer, Thomas Moran, Mary Cassatt to William Glackens, John Sloan, George Bellows, and finally to Jackson Pollock, Ben Sahn, Reginald Marsh and Thomas Hart Benton.

It will tell our story in our own terms, from the mountains to the prairies with their amber fields of grain to the oceans white with foam. It will also tell of our cities and their people, the old, the lost, the funloving, the dispossessed. The opening ceremonies last Friday night were scheduled for "half after nine o'clock" as the special invitation quaintly said. At the bottom was a line which also said guests must-MUST-be present by 9:15 p.m. That usually suggests someone of importance is to be on hand.

The only deduction could be the President. It rained hard all afternoon in Washington Friday but by "half after nine o'clock" the skies were clear and the moon shone through the huge 150- year -old elms which cast their branches as canopies over the interior courtyard which will eventually become a sculpture garden. The open space is bounded by the four wings of the building and there were a nervous number of windows to be washed and watched. Inside the fashion parade continued for the early arrivals. Some of the men in brocaded coats and ruffled shirts rivaled the women in their plumage.

The only men in civvies acted like ushers but looked like Secret Service men and the little colored pins in their lapels gave them away, anyway. Each guest who entered got a piercing look from one at the entrance. That LBJ Playing The Waiting Game As Ambassador To The U.N. By CLAYTON FRITCHEY -It is easy to see what President Johnson gets out of his appointment of George Ball to succeed Arthur Goldberg, as Nations, U. but S.

it is Ambassador not so to easy the to see what Ball gets out of it, unless he thinks he can help bring about some major changes in American foreign policy. Not this year, of course, but perhaps next year or the year after that! His appointment neutralizes the loss of the disillusioned Goldberg, and tends to reassure the antiwar groups, but, happily for the President, it does not pose the kind of personal problems that Johnson encountered with Stevenson and Goldberg. Ball, for instance, has a more limited view of the role of the U. N. in world affairs than either of his predecessors.

He also has no illusions S. Representative's being an important policy maker in his own right. After five years as the No. 2 official in the State Department, Ball knows the facts of diplomatic life. He worked closely with Stevenson and Goldberg, both old friends, and knows what chafed them, but he himself will not be chafed to the same degree, for he accepts and the view that Washington ultishares, calls the turn for all ambassadors, including the one at the U.

N. He will not make trouble for the President, which is why Johnson was eager to get him, even though he is opposed not only to the Vietnam involvement, but to other major elements of the Administration's foreign policy as well. Like John F. Kennedy, Ball thinks U. S.

policy toward mainland China is unrealistic. He is for admitting China to the U. N. He thinks American interest should be refocused on Europe, and that the U. S.

should in its power to advance the federation of Europe as a friendly ation new superpower. He is skeptical of the Administration's faith in the proposed treaty against nuclear proliferation. He is for a practical detente with the Communist world in general. All this being so, why did Ball promptly give up an important private job seemingly to sit out a few unproductive months at the U. One answer is that he is a good soldier, but possibly a better answer is that he sees new opportunities ahead (next year and beyond) to advance the policies he is so deeply interested in.

Regardless of who wins in November, there will undoubtedly be a new Secretary of State. If Hubert Humphrey is nominated and elected, the new Secretary could very well be the Vice President's old friend and supporter, George Ball. Between them there is an essential congeniality of international outlook, and, if they came to power, this could lead, at last, to liquidating an obsolete foreign policy. Today In National Affairs Communist Influence In Riots Not As Ridiculous As Thought would be on hand became a certainty when the courtyard became the plaform for TV cameras and sweating men walked around checking cables, wearing White House correspondents identity tags around their necks like those ornamental chains males now affect. On the platform for guests of honor were Sen.

and Mrs. J. William Fulbright among others and the two biggest cheers of the evening came when Mr. Johnson said, mentioning the Paris talks, that he would work for peace with every fiber of his being, and again when he was finished speaking and walked over to kiss Mrs. Fulbright and shake the Senator's hand.

Those windows were a security man's nightmare and one woman in the assemblage gasped audibly when she looked up at one light window and saw two men running madly down the hall. They turned out to be from the caterer's, and were only rushing downstairs to be in place for the serving after the President had finished his speech. The President looked tired after his hurried trip to Inde. pendence and the morning's press conference but he opened with a nice little quip about going down in Voice Of The People history known perhaps not as a patron, but an uncle of the arts. "Mrs.

Johnson," he quipped, "says it would be bragging to say I took a fatherly interest in this project. I can't say grandfatherly, because she says I talk too much about that already. But I can say uncle." After his talk, the President led a parade looking at the first exhibition. It startles, coming in cold to our national artistic treasure, to see all these blobs of color and squares touching hollow rectangles. Modern art dominates the first floor.

To see our real treasures you have to climb to the Lincoln Room. There's an explanation, the Smithsonian Institution officials say. A large grouping of modern art was donated from the S. C. Johnson collection with the stipulation it go on exhibition for the opening.

The Ryders, the Catlins, the. Morans, the Wests and the rest of our past treasures will be there for you to see later. Just as our history is different from the French and the Russian and the Dutch and Spanish, so' is our national arheritage. To have its own home is a step way upward in the maturation of America. Order In The Court (A forum for readers' ment on matters of public terest and on this newspaper's editorial opinions.

Like Vol. taire, we may, disagree with they but will defend to the death their right to say it. Letters will not be published without signature and full address.) Editor, The Call: As someone who has had close contact with the Prosecutor as well as a number of members of his staff, I must take exception to your editorial "Housecleaning In my humble opinion, if there is any necessary housecleaning to be done then it should start with the Supreme Court, whose now famous Mirand a decision of 1966 has caused the release of many convicted murderers, rapists, and various others involved in high misdemeanors. It has been this same decision that has caused untold havoc with all arms of the law enforcement agencies, including the judiciary. Being thoroughly conscious of this decision and its ramifications, Prosecutor John Thevos and his staff been operating under considerable handicaps.

Violators of the law are fully aware of the protection of the Constitution and they practically defy members of enforcement to bring them before the bar of justice. Consider further that the Prosecutor cannot answer many of the charges without jeopardizing the state's case. -Many of the defense lawyers have tried desperately to get more newspaper coverage of this a Franco case. In fact, one attorney after reading testimony from the minutes of the Grand Jury issued a statement to a newspaper with heretofore unknown facts about his client that were not exactly complimentary. We also are aware of at least two attempts by the defense to bribe members of the Grand Jury, It is not beyond reasonable comprehension therefore, that an attempt has been made one way or another to set a discreditation of state witnesses.

It might be well to withhold all criticisms until all the facts are in. You will recall last November it was a member of your staff who light the untimely remarks of F. Lee Bailey in Atlantic City at the education convention. As a result Judge Gordon Brown had Bailey appear in his court and Judge Brown admonished him for his remarks and indicated that Mr. Bailey should refrain from making any further public appearances in New Jersey.

In spite of this he appeared function in Metuchen, and again made some strong statements. Perhaps he wants Judge Brown to remove him from the case. HENRY C. VAN VOOREN 80 Lincoln Avenue Clifton, Apr. 27, 1968.

By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON The tendency here has been to brush aside the theory that Communist influences may have played a part in America's riots and disturbances. Even the President's Commissioning on Civil Disorders in its recent report said it had found no evidence of "conspiracy." But it depends on what technical meaning is given to the word, as unquestionably there are many leaders and participants in the riots who didn't have to be recruited by any Communists, and there are some who have helped to instigate a form of guerrilla warfare. Today Congress has before it a formal report submitted by the House on Activities Commitices the background of the Communist conspiracy in the last few years inside the United States in relation to the disorders that have cost so many lives and caused considerable damage to private property. Chairman Edwin E. Willis, Democrat, of Louisiana in a foreword to the report says in part: "A few years ago the overwhelming best majority informed of about security including matters Americans those would have scoffed at the idea of guerrilla warfare operations in the United States directed against our government.

Today this idea does not seem as fantastic and ridiculous as it did a relatively short time ago. "During the 1964 Harlem riot, Jesse Gray, the former Harlem organizer for the Communist Party, called for guerrilla warfare against the United States. This committee has received testimony indicating that agents of North Vietnam have trained some Americans in guerrilla warfare in Cuba. "The Progressive Labor Party, the major Peking Communist organization in the United States again, according to testimony received by this committee has distributed literature not only, calling for guerrilla warfare against this country, but even spelling out how it should be conducted. Stokely Carmichael, speaking apparently for ultramilitant black nationalist element in this country, recently stated: 'Our movement is progressing toward an urban guerrilla war within the United States Assignment America "There can be no question about the fact that there are mixed Communist black nationalist elements in this country which are planning and organizguerrilla-type operations against the United States.

"This committee report is designed to alert the Congress and the American people to the plans and the strategy of some of these elements to alert them to the fact that what seemed absurd a few gears ago may not be so farfetched today "Today a new threat is arising a created by a mixture of Communists and ultraracist conspirators." There follows a report of more than 30.000 words giving information about Communist-related activities in the riots in Cleveland, Watts and other places. The committee in its conclusion says the advocates of guerrilla warfare are assuming that most Americans will dispossibility of guerrilla operations, and that the Communists are "counting heavily on the fact that most Americans will be mentally and emotionally, as well as physically, unprepared." Just a few days ago Senator Jennings Randolph, Democrat, in a speech to the Senate which got relatively little attention, named Dellinger as in helping organize the "poor people's march" on Washington. The West Virginia senator referred to Dellinger as "a key organizer and perhaps chief proponent of the 'march on the pentagon'" last fall, who had publicly announced that he is "a non-Soviet Communist." Mr. Randolph said that the leader of the so "poor people's march," the Rev. Ralph Abernathy, "surely knows the record Dellinger," and asked: "Why does Rev.

Abernathy permit or encourage this anti-American perpetrator of violence and hate to stand by his side in conferences with members of the cabinet of the United States?" Comments like these have been rare on the floor of the House or Senate, but there is a mounting trend toward a full discussion of the ways by which the Communist movement in this country is associating itself with the "marches" and "demonstrations." Why Women Rarely Succeed As Top-Flight Executives By PHYLLIS BATTELLE NEW good executive." says one of the country's top executives, "is a little lazy. "If you're a little lazy, you delegate good people to share the work." Women are not usually good executives, he continues, because they are not lazy. "Women are too competent. A mani is satisfied with a job's being done in a SOso manner. A woman feels the thing must be done right, and ends up doing it herself." Walter Hoving, chairman of Tiffany shakes his head sympathetically.

"Following through with that thinking, I can tell a' potentially good lady executive merely by the way she leaves my office," he goes on. "If she waits for the door to be opened for her, she is a delegator. If she opens it herself, she's not." Hoving has known and hired and encouraged a few female exceptions to his theory that women do not make innately good business heads. The late Dorothy Shaver, whom he helped to, succeed him as Lord Taylor prexy, was one. "Dorothy," he says, "was a very lazy girl-and a hell of a great delegator." He has this to say about today's generation of young college graduates: "I think they have somewhat too big an opinion of themselves, and at Tiffany's we like to wait five or 10 years be7 fore hiring them, till they've gotten a little humble and mature." I also have been interviewing leaders in various industries on their attitudes toward women's opportunities in their particular fields.

Nutshelled, here are some theories: Willis Palyer, v. p. for Pan-American executives have two things in common. They are full-time, not just part aggressors. The chief limitation on women in industry is a deep feeling on the part of both men and women against working for females." James J.

Nance, former auto executive and banker, now chairman of Montgomery Ward and business dedicated career girl's problem is somewhat like the Negro's problemthere is still resentment. She is resented if she throws her weight around beyond her authority. Women have the minority group complex. and think they have to compensate. They do so by overplaying their hands.

"I think the greatest opportunity for a woman today is in those areas where there is a premium on personal skillsjournalism, the arts, merchandising. "Where her greatest obstacles exist are those areas in which you have to depend on group effort, because in those a certain point -and that point, her areas a woman must be, aggressive to get aggressiveness backfires on her and she is checked.".
