Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-11-04

Lne registration f1gures In New
York and California, all seem to
betray the Vice Presidents feeling
that he is going down to defeat.
In view of what happened In
1913 I realize that it Is fooIhardy
for anyone definitely to forecast
the outcome of an election even
one or two weeks before the bal
loting actually takes place. Elk
ternal events can still shape the
outcome; certainly the pastoral let
ter Of the Puerto Rican bishops
forbidding Catholics to vote for
Munoz Marin had a profoundly dis
turbing effect on many Protest
ants.
There Is still the chance Of a
last-minute international crisis
which might persuade some voters
that Kennedy is too young and
maybe even reckless for the job
he seeks. But If Nixon gets any Of
these breaks, they will not be Of
his creation. So he can hardly count
ON them as he surveys the future.
What faScinates me about Nixon
Is how all Of US really failed to
understand the man. The political
vicioumess about which 50 many
Democrats complained over the
years, I am now inclined to think,
really concealed the fact that I'M
derneath 1t all Nixon was insecure,
q man not at all sure Of himself.
When he screamed Red" and
Communist" at his opponents It
may have been only an effort to
divert attention from this feeling
of inadequacy.
A good portion Of Nixon's career
has been devoted to winning ''ac-
ceptance" in the right" places. To
prove his devotion to the party he
allowed himself to accept the most
mental assignments. While Eisen-
hover took the lofty attitude,
Nixon agreed to take the low
road, in party campaigns.
Now this willingness to be the
good guy" for the party bosses
and the bad guy" 50 far as the
general public is concerned has
returned to haunt him. He may
have been trying to save the
party" but he seems to have ended
up sacrificing himself.

THE NIXON HUMILITY" -
When Nixon started his campaign
ing after the Chicago convention
it was pitched to several basic
ideas: ~ that The White House
Is mot for sale" (2) that even Il
he were Vice President he was moi
too proud to make a flying trip tc
New York to humble himself be-
fore Nelson Rockefeller (S) Thai
he came from poor, but honest
parents.
These were all legitimate cam.
paign techniques. Maybe a little
corny, but not overly so.
Then Nixon started to do some
thing else that gave him away. He
began telling people that maybe he
was controversial" but everybody
"likes Pat" There was even q
pat for First Lady" campaign
Then came the play given to Henry
Cabot Lodge (who. incidently, Il
probably the most over-estimateC
man in the campaign.)
Instead of Nixon making the
first telecast over a national hook
up, Lodge was chosen to oper
things up. 1t was almost as Il
Nixon were saying that he real
lied he was not well-considered
but certainly everyone would like
Cabot"

Recommendations
To Voters

would recommend him to this
newspaper but his outstanding re-
cord on the civil rights issue, and
that Of his administration, are
enough to warrant our endorsement
Of Freeman over Andersen-who
is certainly the highest type CUB
ernatorial candidate the Republi-
cans have had in years, especially
in regard to his position on human
rights.
Andersen also travels with the
handicap Of a Republican ieuten-
ant governor candidate, Arthur
Ogle, who has not denied he is OPP
posed to open occupancy" and
Republican Congress incumbents
who have not distinguished them
selves as devoted advocates or
adherents to the civil rights cause.

1900 Citizen Groups Support School Program
By DR.. BENJAMIN FINE

Public interest in American
education is now at an all-time
high. A graSs-roots movement
to support the public schools
has reached into cities, towns
and villages in every part Of
the country. Today $4,000 citi-
zens' committees for the sup
port of education exist in the
United States. Ten years ago
there were only II.
The citizens groups have
various functions. Some have
been founded to help commu-
mites pass bond issues for new
buildings. Others seek to i'm
prove the quality of instruction,
In still other instances, the
committees strive to increase
the operating budget Of the
school system.
The citizens committees. ed
ucators generally recognize, will
be needed in the decade ahead
as never before. Taxpayers re-
volts have broken out in many
sections of the country. Schools
are denied the funds they need
to operate efficiently. In some
cases. schools have been forced
to go on an "austerity" budget
they have had to give up
ra-curricular activities, bus
service, free textbooks, guild

Many citizens groups have
been founded to meet o specific

from the public, this revolt

recent years.
Three Organizers
The movement to bring citi-
zens into the school picture be-
gan to jell 10 years ago. Three
men are mainly responsible fol
this unique development: Roy
e. Larsen, president Of Time

president of the Ford Founda.
tion's Fund for the Advance.
ment Of Education; and DR.
James B. Conant, president
emeritus Of Harvard University
Together they helped found the
National Citizens Commission
for the Public Schools.
The commission. supported tc
a large extent by the Ford
Foundation, helped crystalize
public interest in education. As
chairman Of the commission,
Mr.. Larsen spent many hours
travelling around the country,
speaking to citizens groups and
hammering home the impor-
tance Of the public schools in
our atomic age. Both DR.. e.
rich and DR.. Conant, through
their prestige and influence.
helped the commission grow
and develop.
Five years ago the national
commission broadened the
scope Of its activities and be-
came the National Citizens
Council for Better Schools. II
continued the earlier work OF
Roy Larsen's group. But
somehow the new council did
not get of the ground. It lacked
q mass base and did not raise
the needed financial support
Unhappily, the National Cit
izen's Council disbanded last
week, and the Nations public
schools lost an important friend
This Is the paradox because, al
the very time when public in
terest In education is at its
highest, there is no nationa,
agency that can help direct and
stimulate that interest into
constructive channels.
viii Continue Charter
However. the charter of the
council will be kept alive for
a limited period, during which
time the effect Of its termina-
ton will be appraised. The Ma
tional School Boards Associa-
ton will take over the materials
developed by the council In the
last decade. These materials
include hundreds Of case his
tories Of successful citizen COM
mittee activity as well as
factual. booklets on a wide
variety of school problems.
Nearly every State has q
citizens committee working
with schools. The Statewide
groups, together with the thou
sands Of local committees will
take up the slack left by the
death Of the National Council.
Those who helped found the
citizens groups are still con-
vinced that they are needed
more than ever before.
