The quest Of centuries,
initiated by a great Man

bewildering; for here we
find not just one individual

Truly, we live in a wondrously

Whom does Van Doren
think he's fooling? This man,
who cheated, lied, and then
accepted money to do so, and
then perjured himself, now in
a prepared statement to the
House subcommittee claims
that all the time his con-
science hurt him. Evidently
his conscience didn't hurt"
him enough to turn down
large sums Of money, or just
walk out on the show. Now he
says he is telling the truth
because he feels he has no
alternative. OF course he
couldn't do anything else,
simply because everyone knew
the truth.
What is even worse is that

avoid punishment for just
such offenses?

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Reactions Vary Widely on Van Doren's Confession

It is said that confession
is good for the soul, so now
no doubt Charles Van Doren
feels better, and If others feel
as I do, I feel sorry for him.
No doubt he has learned his
lesson, and If this is his first
mistake, I am prepared to
forgive and forget. However.
since he admitted to wrong
doing, he should now make
complete restitution.
To clear his conscience en-
tirely, I suggest he donate
the amount of money he had
remaining after taxes to the
Red Cross, or other worthy
charity. Then, and only then
will he have shown remorse.
Who knows, perhaps he
will have set an example to
others who may have a guilty
conscience.
Herman M. Young.
We've stopped throwing
Christians to lions! Ye gods,
what a hullabaloo 'twould
create if their fate were a sad
duplicate of what people once
used to do.
We've stopped throwing
Christians to lions but are
we more tender of heart
when we throw to the wolves
our Van Dozens and let them
all tear him apart?
The lions had reason for
killing. They did it from
hunger pains. Are we now
so hungry for scandal that
we have nothing better to do
than to take fine young men
like Van Doren and tear him
to shreds when we're
through?
Florence M. Stellwagen.
My applause is reserved for
Representative Derounian
whose was the lone voice cry
ing out above the wilderness
of bravo's, Welcomes, cheers,
plaudits and God bless-you's
following conclusion of young
Van Doren's testimony.
Far from pinning accolades
on the former quiz whiz as
did Oren Harris and others,
Representative Derounian's
clear words struck at the very
heart of the Sordid situation.
The most appalling aspect of
the aftermath of the quiz
program scandal has been
the serene, undismayed &C
ceptance by the public of the
deception perpetrated on a
wholesale level.
Il don't think an adult of
your intelligence ought to be
commended for telling the
truth" stated Mr.. Derounian.
He alone, apparently, saw
the shabbiness of the per-
Torrance and had the cour-
age to speak out over the
weller of the cheering crowd.
I commend Representative
Derounian to his fellow Con-
gressmen and to his fellow
Republicans, for here is a

Open Occupancy

A marvellous man, Morris
Milgram, speaker at Mont
gomery .County's Unitarian
Church, has for years been
implementing the only prin-
ciple that offers a permanent
solution in the area of racial
discrimination in housing.
The principle is open oc-
cupancy." Mr.. Milgram has
shown beyond any contradic-
ton that Negroes and whites
can live communally with
mutual profit and pleasure.
According to Mr.. Milgram,
the hardest factor to bring
to bear on the problem is a
builders faith in democracy
and in God. Given this ele-
ment, the plan can be

worked with astonishing sue

chandising techniques.
If there is one bright
souled builder in this high
capital of democracy who is
brave enough to adopt the
modus operandi of Morris
Milgram, he will by so doing
fire a f1gurative shot for free
dom that will, like that at
Concord in the old days, be

THE POLITICAL MILL
The Spotty Elections of 1859
By GOULD LINCOLN

The results of the elections
in Kentucky were disastrous
for Gov. Chandler. His old
enemy. Bert T. Combs. was
elected Governor. and
another. Wilson w, Wyatt,
was elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor. They were backed by
former Senator Earl Glenn
ents, another foe Of Mr..
Chandler. Furthermore, the
Democrats seem to have
gotten together again In the
border State, which may
mike it difficult for Republic
can Senator John Sherman
Cooper, who must run for re-
election next year. Senator
Cooper, however. is extremely
popular in the State. and
should former Senator Glenn
ents run against him, he
might win again.
The Republicans had hoped
that the Chandler faction
would support their candi-
date for Governor, former
Representative Robson. 1t
did not work that way, how
ever, and Mr.. Combs was
elected by a big vote. Gov.
Chandler. who already has
said he would make a try for
the Democratic presidential
nomination-as he did in
1856 when he held control
of the State and its delega-
ton to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention-will have
no such grip on the State
delegation next year.
Rockefeller Candidate Wins
In the elections in New
York, the Republicans picked
UP more mayors of cities now
held by Democrats than they
lost to the Democrats. Gov.
Rockefeller campaigned per-
sonally in behalf of the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor
of Auburn, where there was
a Democratic mayor and a
solidly Dem ocratic city
council. The Governors can
didate won. Judging from
the vote over the State, the
Governor has not lost his
popularity-and the vote OF
New York in a presidential
election is a potent affair.
The Democratic leaders.
including Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Paul M.
Butler, were quick to claim
that, taken the country over,
the local elections had fav-
ored the Democratic Party.
They had good reason to be
encouraged by the manner in
which the Democrats won in
Indiana, for example, where
they swept most of the big
city elections.
Out in California, however,
Republican Mayor George
Christopher of San Francisco
was reelected over a Demo-
cratic opponent, who sought
to make a partisan race in a
so-called nonpartisan cleo
ton, believing that the DEM
ocratic tide which ran strongly
in the 1858 elections would
carry him to victory.
The Democrats rolled up q
big victory for Mayor of
Philadelphia, where incum-
bent Richardson Dilworth
defeated Harold e. Stassen.
The result was q foregone
conclusion right from the
start. Mr.. Dilworth had a
lot of Republican support as
well as Democratic. Chair.
man Butler, in a statement,
insisted that the elections
Tuesday "reaffirmed the
m a n d ate the Democratic
Party was given in 1885,"
and predicted victory in the
national elections next year.

increased their minority membership in
the Assembly.
This result does not, of course,
eliminate Mr.. Meyner entirely from
presidential speculation. 1t has, how
ever, restricted his maneuverability and
slowed down his winning momentum in
his own State. The prestige of victories
only-a record that could have appeal
to a deadlocked national convention
has been diminished.

Presummit Soundings

President Eisenhower has announced
an ambitious schedule for himself, pre-
liminary to sitting down in Paris on
December 10 with the top spokesman
of our biggest allies in pre-East-West
summit meeting. In the preceding fort
night. he will visit seven other capitals
in Europe and ASia-capitalS where
sentiment in the cold war ranges from
long and determined commitment TO
the West to cautious noninvolvement.
After the Paris meeting he will go TO
Africa for stop at Rabat.
But lust as a picture is said to be
worth many words, so is it likely that
a personal appearance by the President
and the opportunity for an on-the-
spot discussion of views will be worth
the exchange of many communications
through normal diplomatic channels. In
any case, whatever the eventual result,
this has become period for the testing
of person to-perSon diplomacy at the
highest level and Mr.. Eisenhower has
made it clear that he will continue to
practice this technique to the fullest.
His record thus far, not only in his
meetings here with many chiefs OF
state-including Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev-but in his recent trip to Bonn,
London and Paris, supports hopes for
the future.
The Presidents itinerary for the
projected tour promises considerable. In
the Mediterranean-Mid East region,
in a sense the southern frontier OF the
Western alliance, he will visit Italy,
Greece, Turkey and Iran-all formally
associated through NATO, CENTO (the
former Baghdad pact alliance) or both.
His visit to Italy, for example, will come
at time which might be most helpful
to Premier Segni, staunch friend OF
the West who is striving to retain con-
troll over a restless domestic political
situation. Similarly, he will visit Turkey
and Iran at time when Soviet COM
plants over their pro-Western policies
are rising to new peak of threatfulness.
In Asia, too, there are special cir
cumstances making the Eisenhower tour
a timely one. Under persistent pressure
from Communist China, India is dis
playing both alarm and determination
to resist Peiping's aggressive actions.
And while Prime Minister Nehru has ex-
pressly said his government is not plan
ming to change its longtime neutralist
foreign policy, it is equally clear that he
has been angered and disillusioned by
the Communist Chinese behavior. At
the same time, there has been evidence
that India and Pakistan (the latter I'M
equivocally committed to military and
political partnership with the West)
are slowly working out some Of their
own long-Standing differences.
While the Paris meetings scheduled
for next month will revolve primarily
around the views of the Big Four
United States, Britain, France and West
Germany-other countries outside the
Communist bloc have direct stake
and their particular concerns are of i'm
portance. On this basis, the President
should be armed with last-minute, first
hand information of benefit in the
shaping of the Western position at a
critical time in history.

III Vic opOIIyp OA-yCai
elections Tuesday, two poten-
tial aspirants to the Dem
ocratic nomination suffered
checks to their ambitions.
and one Republican presi-
Dental possibility may have
strengthened himself. The
Democrats are Gov. Robert
B. Meyner Of New Jersey and
Gov. A. B. (Happy( Chandler
Of Kentucky. The Republican,
who certainly lost no ground.
is Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
Of New York.
Gov. Meyner, who has
never said publicly he is a
candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination but
who has clearly had ambi-
tions in that direction, lost
his bid to take control Of the
State Senate away from the
Republicans. And while the
Democrats retained control
Of the General Assembly,
they lost eight seats in that
body to the Republicans. The
fight over State Senate con-
troll was a near thing, for the
Republicans lost two seats
but held a margin in the
body, II to 10. Gov. Meyner
had gone all out in this
campaign to win the State
Senate. It would have been
a real feather in his cap. The
result not only is a jolt to his
prestige, which has been on
the UP and up since he was
elected Governor Of New
Jersey in 1853 and reelected
in 1857, but it also will make
1t very difficult for him to
run for the United States
Senate in 1860 against
Republican Senator Clifford
P. Case. For if he should step
out Of the Governors chair,
it would turn the State house
over to a Republican, the
leader Of the State Senate,
since New Jersey does not
elect lieutenant governors.
Gov. Meyner's term does not
end until the close Of 1861.
Gov. Meyner, having served
two terms as Governor, will
be ineligible to run for re-
election in 1861. The Demo-
Gratis in his State would not
like him to turn the Office of
Governor over to a Repub-
lican for a whole year, even
If he were elected to the
Senate. The Governor Of New
Jersey handles a tremendous
amount Of patronage. Also
with a Republican in the
State house, the Republican
controlled State Senate might
start a series of investiga-
tons into Gov. Meyner's
administration that might
prove embarrassing in the
campaign of 1861.
Dark Horse Possibility
Gov. Meyner still femains,
however, q dark horse posi-
bility for a presidential nomi-
nation should the Demo-
cratic National Convention
become deadlocked. The
Democrats of New Jersey
would be willing, it is said,
to trade a Governor for a
New Jersey Democrat in the
White House, if Gov. Meyner
could make it. One other
suggestion has been made to
keep him alive politically
after 1861. Should Demo-
cratic Senator Harrison Will
liams decide to quit the Sen
ate and run for Governor, he
might appoint himself to sue
coed Senator Williams for the
rest of the latter'S term In
the Senate at the close of
1861.

CAP Mission-Search & Rescue

No day passes that someone is not lost somewhere in thee United States. An aircraft is overdue and lost in the wilds of Alaska or over the blue waters of our Pacific Island state; someone is lost in the desert of the Southwest; a hunter lost in the vastness of the Northwest mountains; a pleasure boat, lost on a river in the North east; child is missing on the wide prairieS of the Midwest. One or several of these will be happening every day, and immediately call goes out for search and rescue. Call Starts CAP Machinery
 Tn most states, the call sets in motion the search and rescue unit of the local Civil Air Patrol. Within the 52 wings of CAP, total of 3,559 aircraft and 12,0G0 rated pilots are on call. Some of the aircraft are owned directly by the Civil Air Patrol, but most are owned, operated and maintained by Civil Air Patrol pilot members. The only reimbursement they re- ceive is for actual fuel and oil used on authorized missions. All other expense is borne by the owner It is interesting to note that this fleet is comprised of 61 types, including one helicopter. The roster of types forms his torical record of all the aircraft built in the United States back to World War l. By numbers, they range from 831 PiperS down to one each of such as the Cardon Baby Ace, Blancu 149, Carbon Experi- menter, and other seldom heard, or almost forgotten, names. An additional 4441 aircraft have been committed for emergency use by owners outside the Civil Air Patrol.

 Direction Is Essential
 To effectively use this fleet of planes and pool of pilots, organi- zation and direction is essential, and herein lies the significant con- tribution of the Civil Air Patrol.
 On the staff of the Squadron Commander, the Operations Off, cer is directly responsible for the planning and training necessary to provide Mission Commanders ca able of directing the search and maintaining the history, reports and records necessary to author ize reimbursement for fuels and lubricants used by CAP members. The Operations Officer is respon- sible for the maintenance, opera ton and security of aircraft owned by the Civil Air Patrol He is re- sponsible for the training program for pilots nd crews, necessary to improve and maintain their search proficiency.
 Members of these volunteer Civil Air Patrol search and res cue teams are continuity risking their lives and equipment to save others under grim and dangerous circumstances These volunteers of organized teams are alerted on a 24-hour basis, and when the sig nal of distress is sounded they swing into action. During the first nine months of 1859, the Civil Air Patrol search and rescue units are credited with saving 79 per sons from possible death or ser ious injury while flying 6,577 sor- ties for a total of 12,353 hours in 143 missions
 Highly Commended
 These units have won hundreds of commentators from public and private agencies. As result of efficient emergency operations, many Civil Air Patrol wings have been designated as primary task groups in state emergency plans.
