Noble Naivetes Not Sublety

ershlp to not-So-magic and not

down Of dynamics and the con-
dition of being de-railed are a.
well, a Predicament.
Mr.. Nixon may arrive too late
to shake this Predicament off,

It never occurs to the sincere
idealsts of the Saturday Re
view that Excelsior" refers to
anything but more government,
more and more New Dealing. to
Progress as more than a pale
straight line.
Excelsior according to Mr..
Webster, means lever upward"
onward and on. Significantly. it
is the motto of New York State.
whence most Of our Perpetual
New Deal millionaires like
FDR. Hartman, Hi va fella
Rockefeller come. Mr.. Kennedy
differs only in that he was born
one state over Not having
made their own money the e
gentlemen are understandable
but wrong when they think
there's no end to government
spending and pampering the in
cessant doing of good no matter
how the victim protests. Never
having been interfered with by
society or their pappas in the
expression of their own in
dividualism they see the current
counter revolution away from
national socialism and back to
individualisn as false and
dangerous ant individualism
full Of sound and fury and
signifying nothing"

False Presumption that more

cialism is the only way, and
that tendency to rely on in
dividual enterprise again an d

comparatively is a sign of old
age rather than of young Ameri-
ca.
Mr.. Webster gives another
definition of excelsior. 1t is: "a
material of curled shreds OF
wood used for stuffing upholstery
for packing, etc :"
Socialism piled on socialism
does tend to look and be like
that, and to serve as slight and
"stuffy'' a purpose.

see any resemblance between
Lyndon johnson and Franklin
Roosevelt" an Albanian writes.
johnson is no ideologist at all,
and FDR was all theology and
a mile wide. It wasn't FDR's
own theology. 1t was his will
ingness, as he once put it.. to
try anything and if it doesn't
work try something else
Senator johnson doesn't talk
in terms of New Deals or gen
eral propositions as Roosevelt

is also acknowledged - and it is in
this field where the United States, and
some Western nations, have failed
The communists have long been ex-
perts in the art of undermining weak
governments, promoting revolutions,
and stirring up unrest and distrust.
There are those who believe that
the United States has not met the mill
tary challenge. President Eisenhow-
er, and those in the Defense Depart
ment, claim that the United States is
still strong enough to discourage an
attack by the communist world.
If this be true, then the first line
of defense is in the world of diploma
cy, intrigue, revolution and under
cover work. Unfortunately, we have
been defeated, in country after coun-
try, in this grim sphere. The greatest
loss to the free world was the loss of
China, which was brought about by a
subtle "aggrarian revolution" at the
end Of World War II in China.
Although we have won victories in
the world, such as that in Greece, that
in Guatemala, and several others, the
communists have won more victories,
and bigger ones, the latest being in
Cuba. In mastering the technique of re-
volution and the undermining of hos
tile regime, technique in which the
Western world must become expert, we
are still a poor second to the commu-
nists.

Contest For Minds

4 AMBASSADOR Henry Cabot Lodge,
who has represented the United
States in the United Nations for many
years, and who has had close dip
lomatlc acquaintance with the COM
munists from many countries, recent
ly spoke out on the aims of modern
communism
Said Lodge: eve are living in
very dangerous world We are in a
contest with the small group who,
having mastered the act of revolu-
ton, have acquired control of great
resources.
"They wish to be our adversaries in
the name of a cult which teaches as
an unquestioned absolute that what
they call the science Of history pre-
scribes that Communism must take
over the world.
ITO meet threat and deal with it we
must first be able to neutralize and
nullify it's military aspect. That is the
first challenge
and | do not doubt that we can meet
it. But Communist conquest Of the world
through its mastery of the art of re-
volution and its ability to appeal to the
minds of men also must be prevented"
That the first prerequisite for the
Western democracies is to meet mill
tary challenges is acknowledged That
the second and almost as important,
need is to counter the communists in
their mastery of the art of revolution

Wholehearted Comments

Unless we put our hearts into
Each thing we try to do,
We find our actions cannot be
Wholeheorted or real true
Unless we mean each word we say
And always stand by it,
We may lose our integrity
And be hypoorite
We cannot serve two masters we'll,
Or lose sight of our ends;
To Ideals, we must loyal be
And faithful to our friends.
Wholeheorted folks cannot allow
For doubts or compromise;
We should stick to the plans we make
And never temporze
And we should seek the goal we prize
With toithfuI hands and eyes;
Begin each tosk with courage stronq
And all thot in US lies.
The one who tries With all his heart,
Of failure, hos no feor;
And from deceit his heart IS free,
Because he is sincere.
# we lack foith or horbor doubts =
When we some work begin,
he CHANGES ore, the prize we seek,
Well seldom ever Win.

Associated Press Financial Writer
NEW YORK. Aug. 16-Re-
actions to charges of conflict
of interests in business cover
a wide range:
l. That old American stand
by: there ought to be a law
with an eye to Government
policing of business somewhat
along the line that Congress
takes now and then with Of
f1cials of Federal agencies.
2. Demands by rolled stock
holders that companies clean
their houses.
3. Assurances by some COM
panies that they rigidly police
their own rules against the
practice.
4. The view that as a matter
of personal ethics it can only
be left up to the individual
executives, who supposedly have
been chosen with their incor-
ruptible characters in mind.
Rarely Illegal
Rarely do conflict of interest
cases in industry involve illegal
practices. And some companies
say they've profited by inside
deals made by their executives
or directors.
Government rules against
conflict Of interest involving
Federal agencies are usually
written into laws setting them
up. Recently Congress has
investigated charges that top
men in agencies or in the
executive branch have accepted
gifts, loans or trips from cor
porations with business before
them. Some of these officials
have resigned in a shower OF
publicity.
At the State and local Gov
ernment levels there are various
laws regarding conflict of in
trest. And recently charges OF
gifts and loans accepted by Of
ficials from those doing bust
ness with them have been
brought into court.
AS an ounce Of prevention
the Senate usually probes for
conflict of interest before con-
firming presidential appoint
ments. A prime example
Charles E. Wilson agreed to get
rid of his General Motors stock

Other officials have taken

Job Safety
Duties Listed
By broWnIow

Harrisburg, Fa. - On the job
safety was described as "a three
way responsibility" by Pres. James
A. Brownlow of the AFL-CIO
Metal Trades Dept. in an address
to the annual Occupational Safety
Conference of Pennsylvania Dept.
of Labor G. Industry here.
The employer, Brownlow, de-
clared, has the obligation to pro-
vide a safe and healthful place of
work and safety-protected tools
and equipment, and to enforce
safety regulations fairly.
The workers obligation is to
follow established safety practices
and to avoid any action which
might harm him or his fellow
workers, he added.
Governments obligation, Brown
low said, is to provide sound in
dustrial safety and occupational
health Legislation, enforced through
"fully trained inspectors, well-paid
and not subject to political ap-
pointment or removal"
Atomic Problems Stressed
Earlier the conference heard Leo
Goodman, secretary of the ALL
CLIO Industrial Union Dept s
Atomic Energy Technical Com
mittee, charge that transfer of re-
sponsibility for some aspects of
radiation safety from the Atomic
Energy Commission to the states
jeopardizes the health and welfare
of workers.
Goodman said that labor will
seek repeal of the act providing
for the shift. He continued:
ave shall urge instead legisla-
ton to establish a separate federal
agency to control and regulate
radiation hazard from all sources

MEDTTORIAL: Overweight not
only increases the risk of disease
but also compile ates examination
and treatment.
The heart of an overweight per-
son is difficult to hear through
the stethoscope. Abdominal or
ganS, such as the liver, spleen,
kidneys, are harder to find and
examine. Tumors inside the alb
domen will not be found early
and infiammations such as appen-
dicitis are difficult to diagnose.
Delay often means rupture and
peritonitis. Incorrect blood pres
sure readings are occasionally
found in patients with very fat
upper arms.
Care Of an obese person is
usually difficult, especially when
1t is necessary to move or carry
him. Artificial respiration can be
problem and in some cases is
not too effective.
X-rays of overweight people are
often not as clear and thus i'm
portant shadows can be missed.
The need for~repeat X-rays for
clearer pictures is common. This
involves return visits to the X-ray
department and unnecessary
worry.
Another big problem with obes-
ity Is the technical difficulty en-
countered during surgical opera
tions. The presence of too much
fat can hinder the surgeon. The
possibility of complications is
greatly increased and anesthesia
Is more difficult to give.
A vein puncture insertion of a
needle into the vein is common
and occasionally this procedure is
life-saving (blood transfusions,
adrenalin injections). Obesity
tends to hide veins SO that draw
ing blood or injecting medicines
into the blood stream can be al
most impossible.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is Often
more of a problem for the ger
sons around you.
