Sluggers Open Up in Midget League,
Michnick Wins 1872; Geeraert Wins 1871

Batter finally turned on the
pitchers in the Midget league last
Saturday and as a result the
scores were much higher than
any registered before. The Mich
nick-DiMaio squad opened all
guns on the Donley Construction
Company team who were handi-
capped by the absence of Dennis
Cooke, only pitcher who has de-
feated the Michnick-DiMaio team.
The final score was 43-2 as Billy
Peake turned in his usual good
game. Mike 500 and Kenny
Tuchtan were on the mound for
Donley's.

Grover Injustice to RIFFS

The Navy said grave injustice"
has been done in the Chasanow case.
What about the "graver injustice"
done to scores Of unknown career en-
ployeS who received routine RIFF notices,
but later learned that security clear
ance investigations had not been COM
pleted on them after many years in
Government, so that they live in twi-
light zone and without recourse to
hearing to establish clearance, because
they are not on Government rolls. This
procedure acts as an effective bar to
resume Government employment.
The President in his executive order
on loyalty and security obviously never
intended to deprive individuals of their
right to hearing, but under the guise
of routine RIFFS, career workers have
been denied these rights. Not even the
Civil Service Commission has the right
to offer hearing in cases like these.
IL is obvious how unfair this procedure
Is, and the vicious but unsubStantiated
attacks made on Mr.. ChaSanow demon
strate again how helpless Government
employees are against the malicious in
dividuals who thrive on destroying rep
utatlons of their fellow men unless they
expose themselves to publicity ordeal
such as Mr.. Chasanow underwent.
The press has an obligation to focus
attention on this un-American and I'M
just practice. Civil service officials are
aware Of this inequity and are disturbed

R. Henry. have been appearing in The
Star.
AS writer of scientific facts. Mr..
Henry probably does not understand
the subtle and far-reaching political
effect his articles may have. This little
bug, the Madreporaria, the coral
building creature, may become the
victim of propaganda campaign
against Uncle Sam, as did the mythical
germ warfare in Korea.
Mr.. Henry said that the United
States was gaining new territory due
to these rock building little bugs. Little
did he realize that by giving out this
information that our great secret of
conquest in the Pacific was being re-
vealed. It is source of great con-
Germ as to whether he cleared this
with the military department. BY all
means. if we've got those little bugs
working for us, then it should be kept
secret!

Mid-Term Political Platform

It will be difficult indeed for the polit-
ical opposition to impugn the virtues OF
peace, progress and prosperity" chosen as
the theme of the Republican congressional
campaign this fall. It may be expected,
however, that the Democrats will take Wig
orous exception to the G. o. P. claim that
only a Republican Congress and Republi-
can program can give the country such
happy results
Actually, the off-year platform ham
mered out by the Republican campaign
leadership in its "shirtsleeve workshop"
meeting in Cincinnati is concise and rea-
sonably persuasive document as political
statements go. Dealing at greatest length
with the record of accomplishment OF the
83d Congress, the platform emphasizes the
BENEFITS to the individual citizens-and vot-
ers-in tax revision, extension of the social
security system and in the farm program.
AS had been indicated earlier, the Republi-
can strategy with regard to the important
farm vote appears to be one of blaming the
predecessor Democratic administration for
the long decline in agricultural prices and
the costly headaches resulting from the
tremendous SURPRISES acquired under the
rigid price-support program.
That the Republican leadership does
not expect foreign policy to be major cam
paign issue was indicated by the scant and
only indirect attention given it in the plat
form statement. The peace" theme was
sounded in a paragraph noting the end OF
the Korean war, the fact that American
troops are not engaged in combat anywhere
in the world today and the repeated pledge
that the Nation will not be committed to
war again without congressional participa-
ton in such decision.
The grass roots" tone to the document
was supported, too, by the decision OF the
party leadership to make drive for the
largest midterm vote in the history OF the
country. A dawn-to-dusk neighborhood
town-meeting type OF rally across the coun-
try on October Is scheduled as an impor-
tant part OF this effort to get out big vote
However they fare In November, the
Republicans are demonstrating now real
istic awareness of the fact they are facing
a very rough battle for the next Congress.
Midterm voting ordinarily brings gains to
the party out of power and, In this case, the
switching of few seats would transfer con-
troll on both sides of the Capitol. The adj
ministration ended up with better-than-
predicted record Of legislative accomplish
ment and the party strategists are being
politically wise in choosing this as heavy
duty campaign vehicle.

The background paper" on foreign
policy recently circulated by the Egyptian
government through the Revolutionary
Command Council, is an informative and
realistic Interpretation of the Arab attitude
toward communism the West and the cold

In brief, the paper explains that Egypt

against communism" that it recognizes it
self as tied culturally and economically to
the West, that it knows neither Britain nor
the United States represents military
threat against the Middle East, and that 1t
considers the only danger to the area to be
"an invasion from Russia" At the same
time, it is stated frankly that Egypt does
not now wish to join formal military alli-
ance with the Western powers on the
ground that such action would be danger
ously misinterpreted in the "still suspicious
minds of the Arabs" as new form colo

While some of these points might be
considered self-evident truths to Western
observers. the circulation Of them in an
off1cial government document has partic-
ular Significance. It is, in short, that Pre-
mier Nasser and his young soldier associates
who are now running Egypt are putting
