Ball Outlinees Stand By U.S. LONDON UPI — U. S. Under Secretary of State George W. Ball said today the United States would “fight on” in Viet Nam rather than sign a "meaningless agreement” with the Communists. Ball addressed the opening meeting of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) ministerial council called to shore up allied defenses against Communist aggression in Viet Nani and other trouble spots in the SEATO theater. He came here as a lastminute substitute for Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who had to remain in, Washington because of the crisis in the Dominican Republic. “Let there be no doubt about the threat in Viet Nam and the nature of the struggle now being waged.” Ball told foreign ministers of the eight-nation alliance. “The evidence establishes beyond tjie shadow of a doubt that South Viet Nam is the victim of deliberate aggression —a Communist ‘war of national liberation’.’’ Ball said the Communist attempt to explain the fighting as a civil war was “a hollow disguise.” He said the United States did not enjoy bombing North Viet Nam and added that the U. S. didn’t like keeping thousands of its citizens under arms either.
By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer •Y7ASHINGTON—The “mayor” of Washington, D.C.. had an iV an uncomfortable time of it recently. He had to sit and "take it” as one of his counterparts, a deputy mayor of Moscow, U. S. S. R., explained how democracy works in the Russian
city elections.
The Moscow official was in the nation’s capital on a visit
and of course paid a call on Walter Tobnner, one of three D.C. commissioners who run the city of Washington by appointment of the president and with the ever-present assistance
of the Congress.
Washington residents, unlike those of every other city and village in the U. S., are not permitted to elect their own local officials.
But the Russian was helpful.
He explained how elections were conducted, the benefits that derived to the citizens by virtue of their right to select their own representatives, and the fact that unworthy officials could be voted out of office, as well as
voted in.
Obviously, the Russian was getting quite a kick out of explaining democratic processes to the top official of the capitil of the greatest
democracy on the face of the earth. Just as obvious was Tobrinor’s discomfort as he had to sit through the verbal attack
on the Washington system.
The principal difficulty was that the Russian’s words contained enough truth, particularly about the failure to extend the vote to Washingtonians, to force Tobriner to maintain
silence, v . ..•
Certainly, Washington and the nation have progressed sufficiently to trust residents of the city to make reasonable choices of its officials. What is needed is a change in the federal law that wiU permit at least as much political freedom as is enjoyed by Muscovites.

# BEAUTY, BEAUTY—As record numbers of new cars pour out of Detroit, record numbers of old cars are going on the junk heaps throughout America. And junkmen are becoming sensitive about charges that their car-stripping activities are defacing the American scenery. It’s gotten so that they’re worried about being socially acceptable in their communities and wondering what they can do to become worthy of membership in local Chambers of Com-
merce.
An outfit once known as the Auto Wreckers Association has Changed its name to the Auto Dismantlers Association. Two of its neatly dressed representatives came to Washington recently
to explain what can be done to hide those unsightly, rusting auto shells from beauty-hungry
motorists.
Their principal answer was concealment—putting the junk yards behind high but decorative fences, or shrubs or thickly planted trees. They
openly admit It’s hard to love a fellow who spends all his waking hours detracting from the attractiveness-of the approaches to
the city or town where he lives.

George Meaney Backs Johnson WASHINGTON UPI — AFLCIO President George Meany today backed President Johnson's policy on the Dominican Republic and Viet Nam.

Marine Killed By Sniper's Shot SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic UPI—An American Marine was killed by sniper fire early today in the simmering Dominican civil war. U. S. Army paratroopers drove three blocks across the heart of the city to bolster Marine forces trying to enforce a cease-fire. It was the fifth confirmed death of an American serviceman in the civil strife which has engulfed the Dominican Republic in the past nine days. One other death has been reported but not confirmed. At least 43 others have been wounded in combat action. The renewed sniping followed the shaky cease-fire ordered in Santo Domingo Saturday night. The action occurred less than two blocks from the beleaguered American Embassy where
