STUDIES COME FIRST

Every now and then, college football
coach wakes plaintive on the woes caused by
that old devil, eligibility. At some risk of be-
ing tagged as no friend of the game we rise
to say that we are little moved by these pite-
Gus cries.
The eligibility rules are based on the idea
that when youth goes to college his studies
ought to come first, with football and other
athletic pursuits secondary The idea is
sound one.
1t is doubly sound with regard to such
schools of higher learning as are supported
by public funds. When the public defrays
part of the cost of a young mans education,
it has the right to expect that education will
come ahead of gridiron glory.
In fairness to the coaches, it should be
said that most of them understand this even
though they complain about what eligibility
rulings do to their teams. In bewailing the
situation, they are only being human. But
this does not alter the important fact in the
matter, which is that as long as football
teams are made up of students some mini
mum scholastic requirement is necessary.
All the same, something Iowa's Coach
Forest Evashevki said recently was enough
to twang sports fans heart strings. "They
can fire me for doing bad coaching job"
said he, "but can't go to class and study for
our boys" This does seem to be great pity
but that's life, Coach.

GETTING READY FOR WAR

1t is never pleasant thought to contem-
plate getting ready for war. Therefore, in
democracies, where people have the right to
do as they please, generally speaking, the
people seldom are ready for war.
This has never been more strikingly true
in any democracy than it is today in the Uni
ted States. In fact we are so unprepared it
is actually astonishing. Take, for example,
the preparations which should have been
made for nuclear attack. The world has
long been aware of the fact that the Russians
are building intercontinental ballistic mis-
siles, that the Russians have both atomic and
hydrogen bombs and that they have perhaps
the greatest capability of delivering them, via
rockets, of any country in the world
Our defense industry, which is still high
ly concentrated, which has not been placed
underground, and which is extremely vulner-
able to air attack, constitutes an easy mark
for nuclear attack. Moreover, there are prac-
,tically no adequate shelters in our key defense
industries for the workers who are turning
out defense weapons. These cities have no
shelters of any consequence. Practically no
homes have any shelters.
Inevitably, if we are struck nuclear blow,
from the air, the consequences will be ter
rible and millions of us will die-and be
manned or seriously affected-needlessly
The democracies, it seems, are always unpre-
pared.
Milford chronicle., 1959-08-14
GROSSLY UNFAIR

The government, needless to say, could
sell anything cheaper than any enterprise
or individual. 1t could do this by operating
at loss, paying no taxes, and making up the
difference by using the tax money paid by
everyone. Sooner or later, of course, this
would bankrupt us all, but it could be done
for a while.
The vast majority of people would con-
slider it grossly unfair if, say, the govern
ment established tax-free, unsupported drug
stores or restaurants or filling stations in
communities to compete on loss basis with
local trades people. Yet the government has
been doing that for many years through the
Post Office Departments parcel post service.
Over a 30-year period, direct parcel post
losses totaled something like $1.2 billion.
This does not include certain indirect losses,
which cost tens of millions year more. And
parcel post-unlike other post Office SER
vices-is direct competitor with tax paying
private carriers operating on the national, re-
gional and local levels.
Here is why-as required by a long
evaded law-the Postmaster General recent
any forthcoming increases honestly and COM
ly requested Interstate Commerce Commits
sion permission to increase parcel post rates.
And here, also, is why it is important that
pletey reflect both the direct and indirect
cost of providing the service.

Babson Park, Mass, August 13.
MY dream is that the fishes of the
sea might be connecting peace
link between Russia and the United
States. The ocean is the only
area between nations which is rec
ognized as free and equal to all ma
tions. This is not only according
to international law but also ac-
cording to custom extending over
hundred years. Therefore, l have
felt that the international fishing
industry might be the opening
wedge in terminating the "cold
war"
Leading Fishing Ports
In view of the above, l have been
making a study of the fishing in
dustry of the United States and
Russia. There is not much conflict
between us and Russia on the West
Coast, as our principal catches are
salmon and tuna. The conflict on
the West Coast is between the
United States and Japan. Our main
fishing port on the Atlantic Ocean
is Gloucester, Mass, which is now
taking over 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds a
year at a valuation of over $15,000,-
600 per year.
At present, Iceland is exporting
considerable fish to the United
States. There are demands from
New England to erect a tariff wall
against Icelandic fish. Various re-
quests have been sent to Washing
ton which President Eisenhower
has wisely refused. He explains
that we are very dependent on
Iceland, Portugal, and other fish
ing nations for bases and airports.
These we must maintain; we would
Milford chronicle., 1959-08-14

be greatly handicapped if these
nations made us move off in re-
taliation for increasing tariffs
against them.
Our Canadian Policy
One of the worlds most import
tant examples of friendly mutual
protection is the boundary line be-
tween the U. S. and Canada. AL
though it would be very easy for
either country to invade the other,
there has never been suggestion
that such might even be considered.
Yet there is no military defense or
offense between the two countries.
There has been some conflict at
times between our fishing fleets;
but since fishing boats do not carry
guns or military equipment, we
dream is that the fisheries can
bring about similar friendly re-
lationship with Russia.
All the above means that neither
Russian nor American fishing
boats should carry guns or other
military protection, but should de-
pend on the good will of the other
Another requirement, sought by
Russia, which seems very reason
able is that the mate on every
Russian vessel be able to speak
English. This is very important if
the radio codes are to function pro-
perly. Real world peace must have
some sort of International Iangu-
age-such as which
would be sponsored by the United
Nations.

ports of the United States. but are

NEWS AND HOKUM

Most veteran newsmen know, of course,
that the world is composed of significant
events, which constitute news, and hokum-
which many people confuse with news. The
average newspaper editor finds it difficult to
keep all the hokum out of the newspapers, for
indeed, many people like it.
A newspaper has various news depart
ments Fashion news, for example, is seldom
read by men. A picture of four ladies sitting
around card table, playing cards, is about
as far away from legitimate news as anything
can get, in the average males opinion. We
are inclined to think that this opinion is prob
ably correct, although the women do read
fashion news, and certainly it is a depart
ment of the newspaper which must continue
to be included in any well-balanced paper
In a similar vein, few women read the
baseball results, although some do, and sports
might seem like department which is over
distressed to many members of the fairer
SEX Certainly, however, a good sports sec
tion is must" for modern newspaper.
In summary, it takes all sorts of news and
a broad coverage to produce a newspaper
which appeals to all of its readers.

BABSON DISCUSSES KHRUSHCHEV'S VISIT

not SO we'll acquainted with the
ports of Russia. At the east end of
the Gulf of Finland the leading
port in Lenigrad (Petrograd) The
only Russian port that is open all
year is Odessa on the Black Sea. l
have been trying to. get figures
from Odessa, but have been told
that l can get them only by going
there in person and giving the
Russian Fishing Commission, in ex-
change, certain figures which ap-
ply to this country, and especially
to Gloucester.
The population of Odessa is over
100000. and is growing rapidly.
Nearby is the city of Yalta where
President Roosevelt had his last
very important conference with
Stain. A photograph of them at
this conference shows that Presi-
dent Roosevelt must have been
quite ill. This may explain why he
permitted us to get into the Berlin
mess and give the Russians all that
portion of Germany which sur
rounds Berlin. This is now known
as East Berlin.
The above explains why I am
planning to leave here next month
for Sweden and Denmark At Co
penhagen l will be the guest of
Mayor Urban Hansen and will get
data on northern Russian fishing
ports. Then l shall go to Berlin and
to Odessa and secure data on the
fishing of the Black Sea and tribu-
tary rivers. I, however, will travel
only as the Gloucester loberster-
man and fisherman" and not in any
political capacity. I will report my
conclusions to readers through this
column when l return in November.

N1WNE
NOT COMPLETE FAILURE

The most common assessment of the Ge-
neva foreign ministers talks appears to be
that they were total failure. On the face
of it, that is true. After 10 weeks, the situ-
alton remains essentially unchanged. The
Soviet Union did not yield in any important
respect; no problems were solved; Berlin
remains point of tension between East and
West
Yet there is some reason for controlled
optimism. Though the conference did not
produce even the shadow of an agreement to
assure the continued freedom of West Ber-
lin, at least the date of Khruschevs much
discussed "ultimatum" passed without in
cident. And Secretary of State Herter is
reported to believe that the Reds have tacit-
ly, if not formally, withdrawn the Berlin
ultimation.
Herter went to Geneva in a mood of
skepticism which was set forth in his ad-
dress to the nation. He continued to be
skeptical when the fruitless talks were re-
sumed in mid-July. He is not, therefore, in
the position of having elevated hopes dash
ed by the unsatisfactory outcome of the talks.
Herter appears to believe, in fact, that
the Geneva conference lesSened the threat
in Berlin. He is reported to be convinced
that the Soviet Union prefers settlement of
the Berlin problem through negotiation
rather than by any action it might take on
its own.
To sum up, Herter thinks the Geneva
talks somewhat eased the tension between
East and West; he also believes that the
imminent threat ofe Soviet action with re-
gard to West Berlin has been lifted. These
are the factors which permit limited optimism
about Geneva, even though the conference
produced no tangible agreement.
