T houqht for the Day

=, One of the truths that should be
self-evident on this Fourth of July is
that the freedoms we live by are not ours
to have and to hold, automatically and
forever, just because we happen to be
Americans. Our certain unalienable
rights" with which the Creator has en-
dowed us are treasures that can be taken
away from us, bit by bit or all at once,
unless we guard them diligently and well
against both our internal and external
enemies. Soviet Premier Khrushchev
has repeatedly tainted us with the boast
that communism under the leadership
of the Kremlin is going to triumph over
our way of life and bury" it, f1guratively
If not literally. The threat is by no
means empty. Our liberties as individ-
uals and our independence as Nation
can be destroyed unless we are con-
stantly ready to defend them with a
firm reliance on the protection of Divine
Providence" and with "our Lives, our
Fortunes, and our sacred Honor"

Rejecting an Old Dose

President Eisenhower was fully Jus
titled in his veto of the wheat bill in re-
minding Congress that it would merely
prescribe "for a sick patient another
dose of what caused his Illness" For
it has been the combination of the
rigid high price supports with acreage
controls that has contributed in large
measure to overproduction and the
mountainous surplus of wheat that has
been piling up in Government store
houses.
Such formula, in this instance a
80 per cent of parity price support
coupled with Is per cent reduction in
acreage, merely flies in the face of sta
tiStical evidence of its unsoundneSS. 1t
has been demonstrated, for example,
that not only the normal improvement
IN production technology but the at
traction of high support prices bring
greater and greater yields per acre
resulting in higher total output even
while the poorer acres are withdrawn
from cultivation. In the course of this
evolution it has been further demon
Strated that the real beneficiarieS- aside
from those who are reaping the tremen-
douS storage fees-are the corporation
farmers" in best position to finance
large-scale, modern and most intensive
production. It means relatively little
to the farmers in greatest difficulty.
AS usual, of course, there are clear
signs of politicking showing through the
yearly maneuvering over doing some
thing" for the farmers. The bill sent
to the President was materially different
from that originally approved by the
Senate and veto of the final version
was generally expected. There is no
evidence that support for the measure
is strong enough to overturn his veto
in either branch. AS a gesture to the
wheat VOTE" there Is still question of
whether this manner of defeatist legis-
lating has political value.

Grand Slam in Hawaii

The voters of Hawaii prob lily will
never come closer to unanimit. than
they did last week end. Turning out in
impreSsively large numbers for the for
mality of approving acceptance of their
islands as the 50th State in the Union,
they rolled up an affirmative score of
nearly 10 to l. In doing so, they were
providing an effective answer to any who
may still have believed that the islanders
were not fully ready to take on all of the
responsibilities, as we'll as the privileges,
of statehood. On July % they will vote
again-for their delegation to Congress
and for their own State government On
that occasion they will be just as
normal" as the voters of all the other
States-divided on partisan lines and
fully absorbed in our democratic system.
1t is good to have them aboard" and
the Nation is the stronger for it.

Back to Nosser

The resumption of a modest United
States aid-to-Nasser program is de-
Sirable and perhaps even necessary
adjustment of American foreign policy.
American aid to Egypt was discon-
tinued during the 1866 Suez Canal crisis
Whether this was justified by the then
prevailing circumstances is open to de-
bate. For our part, we doubt 1t. Ger
tainly, however, there can be no reason
able basis at this time to question the
wisdom of resuming normal relations
with Colonel NaSser and his United Arab
Republic.
There are several reasons for this.
One is that when we stepped out the
Russians stepped in. Moscow has made
very substantial commitments to both
Egypt and Syria, and only fool could
believe that the Kremlin has done this
out of the bignesS of its heart. Colonel
NasSer apparently does not believe it,
and if he is trying to shore up his rela-
tionS with the West it certainly is in
our interest to cooperate with him.
A more important reason is to be
found, however, in the political Situa-
ton which prevails in the Arab world.
The Arab nationalist movement is not
something that can be checked or re-
verSed by economic pressure. On the
contrary, economic pressure will serve
only to accelerate and inflame it. 1t is
in our interest to adapt ourselves to
this movement, and to come to terms
with Colonel Nasser who, as of this time
at least, is the movements authentic
leader.
In doing this, we should not expect
any dramatic rewards 1t is possible
not to drive NasSer any further into the
arms of the Communists. We should
not assume, however, that such things
as aid agreements are going to win him
over to our side. Instead, we should
recognize that he is an Arab nationalist,
dedicated to Arab nationaliSm, and that
he is going to promote that cause with
all means at his disposal. The best that
we can hope for is a stabilized situation
in the Middle East in which Communist
influence will not be able to freeze out
the West
This leaves the question of Israel
and its future. To strengthen the UAR
may be to increase the danger of war
between the Arabs and the IsraeliS. But
that danger is present now. The pros
poets for an Arab-ISraeli accommoda-
ton will be improved, we believe, If
the VAR economy can be strengthened.
In any event, the worst thing that
could happen from the Israeli point
of view would be to see the Russians
firmly established in the Middle East
through a combination Of economic aid
and pledges to support the Arabs in
their ambition to crush Israel.

Powell and Kennedy

It is disgusting to note that
Representative Powell of New
York repudiates enat tor
Kennedy as a candidate for
President, because Mr.. Powell
alleges that Senator Kennedy
accepted support of what
Mr.. Powell called Negro
hating Alabama officials"
That is characteristic of
the NAACP and the big shots
that go along with them.
They are always ready to
bring in the race issue. I was
not there, but I know Senator
Kennedy we'll enough to
know that he would not stick
his neck out that far. He is
too smart for that, regardless
of his feelings.
I am neither for nor
against Senator Kennedy. but
l believe in justice in every
thing.
This country has got to
guard against the NAACP
and labor unions taking over
the economic and political
situation. Daniel b. Felker.

Fair Trials

: Laymen may find it bit difficult
to understand why the Court of Appeals
has reversed the conviction of thug
named Mark Coppedge.
At the trial, the prosecution called
a witness who refused to take the stand
and who refused even to be sworn. At
that point the jury was excused and the
trial judge inquired into the matter. 1t
developed that the witness was in NOR
tai fear of Coppedge, that his brother
had been brutally beaten by the defend
ant, and that Coppedge, even then, was
serving prison term. All of this was
true, but none of it could have been
admitted as evidence.
However, these facts were reported
in the newspapers, which the court said
was proper, and some of the jurors read
the accounts. The trial judge had not
given the jurors the customary admoni-
ton against reading any reports per-
taining to the trial, and he tried to cure
this error by asking the jurors whether
their ability to render an impartial YER
dict would be affected by what they had
read. When the jurors answered in the
negative, the judge permitted the trial
to proceed, and Coppedge was convicted.
. Chief Judge Prettyman, speaking
for a unanimous panel of the appellate
court, set the conviction aside, holding
that the trial judges interrogation of
the jurors could not remedy the failure
to warn them against reading accounts
Fof the trial We do not see how the
appellate court could have ruled other
wise, for it is hardly conceivable that
the minds of the jurors could have re-
manned unaffected by what they had
seen of the reluctant witness and the
disclosures in the news stories of Cop
pedge'S character and record. This is
appropriate information for the COM
smunity, but not for those community
members who are serving on the jury.
The proper course is to instruct jurors
as has been done here for many years
to refrain from talking to anyone about
a case and also to refrain from reading
about it or listening to broadcaStS con-
.cerning it. Otherwise, there is little
prospect that a defendant in case
of unusual interest could receive fair
trial
