THE PRICE OF
BEING PRESIDENT

Under the title "RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT, James Metzenbaum,
former member of the School Board
and of the State Senate, has writ
ten twelve articles which have re-
Gently appeared in The Cleveland
Plain Dealer
He covered every election since
that of George Washington, and
has pointed out that though there
is great honor in being President,
almost each one who has occupied
that position, has left it, as sad
dened man; usually penniless; al
most one-fourth having passed away
naturally or by assassination, dur
ing office.
In his final article, Mr.. Metzen-
baum wrote:
"To be sure, there is very high
honor in being President of the
United States and great opportuni-
ty to render service to one hundred
and forty million fellow citizens. 1t
is a position which should always
be looked upon as being possible
for the humble as we'll as the rich
to attain, yet it may not be inap-
propriate here to repeat some Of
the opening lines Of the first of
these II articles:
''This year will bring the forty
first election. The successful can
didate will be not only President
OF the United States, but, in many
respects, virtually President of the
WORLD.
'Thirty-two men have occupied the
Presidency, a lonely, crushing, dis
illusioning position.
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay,
James G. Blaine, Horace Greeley,
Stephen A. Douglass, William Jen-
nings Bryan, fruitlessly spent much
OF their lives in the hope of cap
turing that coveted position; their
chief reward having been grief.
Illustration, bitterness and detection.
"To many of those who have sue
ceeded, the Presidency has spelled
broken health, deep pain, and dis
appointment, with not many years
after leaving"

BEHIND LLTHUANIA'S IRON
CURTAIN

have been transplanted - att first
in the cities and now in the rural
districts.
The bulk of the new peasants on
collective farms are Mongolians, the
half-civilized Orientals, whose pres
ence terrifies the residue of Lith-
uanians, who have not yet been
evicted. Thus by a cruel exchange
of populations Russia is scattering
the flower Of Lithuania through
Asia and is bringing the scum of
Asia into Europe.
and against Lithuania is not salts
fled by eviction, enslavement and
determination of natives of that
country. She is trying to get her
claws into America. Soviet consul
lar officers in the United States
in the past few weeks have the eff
frontery to claim the right to ap-
pear in probate proceedings in be-
half of Lithuanians abroad, with re-
spect to shares due them from es-
tates of persons dying in the United
States.
AS we have never recognized the
Incorporation of Lithuania into the
Soviet Union, our State Department
is warning state courts to reject
the Russian demands.
But much more tragic intrusion
into American lives is the insistence
of Moscow that American-born wives
and children Of Lithuanian nationals
are Soviet citizens and hence can
not leave any part Of the USSR, in
cluding Lithuania. For many months
have been trying to, aid relatives
of Worcester born mother and her
five children in efforts to obtain
their release from Siberia. Only
last week l received letter from
the State Department reporting fai-
lure again But | shall keep trying
to save them.
Our New England conscience never
can rest so long as such monstrous
evil is the fixed policy Of so-called
civilized State. Think of it, girl
born within fifty miles of this build
ing deprived by Communist Russia
of her inalienable right to the pur-
suit of happiness, to liberty and,
maybe, to life itself.
Such is the agony of Lithuania,
which | have sketched in sombre
colors mixed with blood and tears
in order that Americans should be
aware of the facts For when the
truth is known, others beside our
selves may sympathize and join the
cause of Lithuania.
l should be holding out false hope
were | to forecast the early saliva
ton Of the land of your fathers.
Direct intervention by the United
States would mean war. We can,
however, hope that our pleas and
an aroused conscience of the world
will impel officials of the United Ma
tions in New York to take the case
of Lithuania from the pigeonhole
and bring it before the Security
Council.

(The following letter, IN winch

10, Beardsley of Prosser, chair
man for the Benton County CAM
paignD
DEAR EDITOR:
The March of Dimes Campaign
for Infantile Paralysis is particu-
larly important this year, for the
reason that during the years 1916
and 1947 there were two extens-
| i've epidemics in various parts
| of the nation, which have taxed
all of the financial resources OF
the National Foundation, and
have exhausted the reserve funds
that had been set aside for cpl
demic purposes. The Pacific
Northwest had a good illustration
of what an epidemic can mean
and how the National Foundation
responds in such an emergency,
as illustrated by what happened
in the State Of Idaho, where the
National organization has recruit
ed ma6y nurses and technicians
and Sent them, together with
large amounts Of equipment and
supplies, and has actually moved
and set up a complete hospital
for treatment of polio victims. In
Benton County we have been
very fortunate that we have not
had any sign Of an epidemic, but
it is well to recognize that If
polio should get started in the
congested tri-city area, it would
be very hard to control. We
should therefore, be as much
prepared as possible for such an
emergency, and that means we
should build up reserve fund
in our local county chapters, so
as to provide the necessary care
if an epidemic should strike. In
1916 we had ten cases of polio
in Benton County, seven of which
were in Richland. The Benton
County chapter paid all OF the
expenses in each of these cases,
and in some instances we are
still paying the cost of treatment,
as these cases very often carry
on during a period of years, and
require continuous treatment.
Just recently one of the polio
victims in Prosser, who had been
hospitalized and received treat
ment over period of several
years, was able to throw away
her walking sticks, and that is
one good illustration of what this
organization can and will do to
assist.
am reminded of one gentle
man, who really was pretty hard
boiled, and usually things did
not seem to bother him, but he
made trip through a crippled
childrens hospital and when he
came out, for the first time in
| great many years he found he
had tears in his eyes, and re-
marked to himself that his only
regret was the previous year he
had only given a measly dollar
to the March of Dimes, and he
resolved thereafter he would see
to it that the March of Dimes
got all the support That he could
give it. The same thing would
happen to a great many of us if
