Book Section Of Digest"
Refers To Miss Otto

The book section in the Decem-
her issue of the Readers Digest,
Gift from the African Heart" by
Elizabeth Bovine, has number of
references to Miss Elsie Otto, Lu-
theran Missionary to Liberia.
Miss Otto has visited in Oakland
and is supported by the United
Lutheran Church Women of this
area. Miss Otto is a member of
mission in Liberia at Sanoyea and
the woman in the story comes to
that area to see the place where
her pilot husband crashed and was
killed.
Miss Otto has prominent place
in the story, woven around the
missionary work of the area.

Deer Season TO
Open December 3
Extru Doy Added To Seu5on
For Second Straight Year

The annual deer hunting season
will open Saturday, December 3,
and will continue until sundown
Saturday, December 10, excluding
Sunday. December a. This is the
second year that an extra day has
been added to the season to give
hunters two Saturdays for hunting.
Normally the season had been
set for the first full week in De-
cember During this period it
will be lawful to kill male deer
with two or more points to one
antler and spike bucks with three
inch antler
The small game season, which
began November Is, will be sus-
pended during the deer season but
will be resumed Monday, Decem-
Der II and will continue until
January 5.
Many hunters already have made
reservations in private homes,
boarding houses and other places
and it was a foregone conclusion
that $500 to 5000 hunters would
be in the woods during the first
few days of the season.
Hunters will attempt to surpass
the all-time record of kills made
during the 1858 season. In 1855
there were COS bucks killed and in
1857 there were 698 Last year the
hunters were on the way to making
a new record when a severe early
winter snowstorm slowed down
the activity to almost a walk for
two or three days The season
ended with a tota! of Gil bucks
slain. The limit is one buck per
year per hunter. A hunter is al
lowed to drive deer without fire
arms after he kills his deer.
Game regulations stipulate that
bucks may be killed only with a
rifle that develops over 1,200 foot
i pounds of muzzle energy. Shot
guns loaded with pumpkin balls or
slugs may also be used.
Those killing a buck during bow
| hunting season are not eligible to
hunt during the firearms season,
but unsuccessful hunters may con-
tinue to try with the bow Only
one deer was killed during the
bow season this year, it was stated,
the third in the history of the
county.
There will be four deer check
ing stations in the county where
deer must be checked as soon as
possible after being killed. 1t is
unlawful to remove the head or
hide or other parts except the in
ternal organs, or cut up the meat
until the deer has been reported
and weighed at one of the check
ing stations.
Stations in the county will in
clude the Edwards garage in
Grantsville; Matt Storey's on Deep
| Creek Lake, near McHenry; Muir
phys, in Friendsville; and Carroll
Miller's Mt. Top Tire and Sport
Shop in Oakland. Checking sta
tions at the sheriffs office in Oak
land and at Swanton have been
abandoned. Hunters may also
check in at Westernport or LaVale
in Allegany county.
Additional district game war
dens from other counties of the
state will be assigned to Western
! MARYLAND during the season.

Macedonian Cry

PennSylvania's Senator Clark, with
banners unfurled and loud cry for help
from all true liberals, has returned to
the political wars.
His biggest rhetorical guns are
zeroed in on Senator Byrd Of Virginia,
and the latter's demand for a Senate
showdown on Mr.. Clark's earlier sug-
gestion that the Virginian should be
ousted from his craftsmanship of the
powerful Senate Finance Committee.
Senator Clark also struck blow or two,
however, in behalf of general revision
Of the Senate rules, including, of course,
the rule applicable to filibusters.
To his credit, Senator Clark did not
try to soften or to fuzz up the import of
his demands. He thinks the Senate
should be made more responsive to the
will Of the American people "as re-
flected by the views Of the representa-
tiveS elected to public Office" AS to
this, 1t could be argued, we suppose, that
Senator Kennedy'S microscopic margin
of victory, plus the fact Of Republican
gains in Congress, hardly add up to
popular Endorsement Of all the Demo-
CIdIlC pldIAOku pAOAlloCo WIllCl 0CLldIUL
Clark so vigorously espouses. 1t seems
to us, however, that more important
point has to do with the wisdom and
desirability of hard-fisted simple ma
jority rule in the Senate. Generally, Of
course, majority should and will pre-
vail. But on major issues, issues involv-,
ing deeply held convictions, we think 1t
should be difflcult-not easy-for a
mere majority to ride roughshod over
convinced and dedicated minority. To
the extent that this is involved in the
clash between Senators Clark and Byrd,
there ought to be showdown in the
Senate. If there is, we hope Senator
Byrd will win.
There is also the question of putting
first things frst. Senator Mike Mansfield,
who probably will be Majority Leader
when the Senate meets again, has ap-
pealed to the liberal fraternity to pull in
their horns. Senator Mansfield thinks
the Kennedy legislative program, or as
much of 1t as possible, should be passed
before getting into party-shattering
fight over rules. This makes sense, and
1t, too, probably will have the support of
most Democrats.

with reference to your
outstanding editorial Of Dec
ember 3 concerning Colonel
Nasser's behavior in the
Congo and the seizure OF all
Belgian assets in Egypt, may
I add some personal obset-
vations?
First Of all. the Nasserist
policy in the strife-torn Con-
60 Is part Of q general pat
tern initiated and followed
by Nasser since 1855. wheth-
er in Sudan, Lebanon. Iraq,
and even In the Caribbean.
Thus, there Is nothing new
in the insolent Egyptian be-
havior and interference In
the affairs OF another inde-
pendent sta te. Similarly,
there is no innovation In Mas
ser's reaction to the expul-
sion Of the Egyption diplo-
matte mission in Leopoldville.
The confiscation Of Belgian
property in Egypt, which
amounts to many millions of
dollars. is just another link
in q long chain Of such ty-
rannical acts. AS in the case
OF the naturalization Of the
Suez Canal. it is quite obvious
that the Egyptians punish
not the people directly in
volved, but rather a third
party.
There is no doubt that the
acquiescence and the conspir.
acy Of silence concerning the
confiscation of Israeli car
goes in the Suez Canal since
l94S have only encouraged
Nasser to follow the pattern
OF systematic robbery and
seiZures Of foreign assets
whenever the opportunity
arises. Israel was the first
victim Of the Egyptian pir-
atical policy: then came the
sequestration Of British and
French assets; now 1t Is the
turn Of the Belgians. Egypt
ian Jews. Greeks, and even
Egyptian Copts have been
exposed in recent years to
acts Of confiscation and de-
vices intended to force them
out Of business. It Is thus
absolutely clear that there is
a definite trend for general
naturalization of foreign
assets and properties
in Egypt.
I was, therefore, quite per-
turbed the other day to read
a report published by the
Department of Commerce
(entitled Report of the US.

A child was born into the
Kennedy family at q time
when Mr.. Kennedy was
among the worlds most news
worthy personages. For that
reason the child himself be-
came newsworthy. Does it
then necessarily follow that
the most intimate detail Of
this otherwise happy event
must be the subject Of in
quiry?
There are always among us
those emotionally starved
people who greedily absorb
any portion Of the news
which borders on the sensa-
tional. I hold that it was for
the benefit Of this small seq
ment Of the population that
such intimate details Of the
Kennedy's private life was
revealed. This was not news;
it was just plain bad taste.
I am not here speaking Of the
fact that a child was born or
that mother and son are do
ing well. What I do protest
is the fact that the hospital
in which Mrs. Kennedy was
confined was jammed with
reporters and photographers.
each trying to outdo the
others In uncovering some
emotionally charged tid-bit
with which to pander the
somewhat perverted tastes of
a few emotionally unstable
people.
I do not know the Ken
nedys nor do I second Mr..
Kennedy's political beliefs. I
do, however. consider them
decent people with the same
unwillingness to commit acts
in bad taste as other normal
human beings.
I. therefore. protest the
tendency with which some
reporters seem to be overly
endowed. to pry into areas
which do not belong to the
public. A mans personal life
belongs only to him and to
his family. Even the Presi-
dent-elect has a family life

Lax Lows for Perverts

Remembering the fine

similarly revealing series on

more serious consequences

suggested points for con-

!. A comparison between
the sentences meted out to
habitual sex offenders and
those to other criminals
bank robbers, for instance.
Q. An inquiry into the
seeming indifference of legis-
latures to the seriousness Of
the problem.
8. Is there any record of
a sex pervert being perma-
nently cured by psychiatry?
4. Why should not a
surgical "cure" be mandatory
for incorrible sex offenders?
S. Why has not abortion
been made a legal remedy
available to rape victims?
1t is my earnest hope that
out of the stir created by the
Condetti tragedy will come
positive action that will
reverse the present trend of
Justice" which seems to be
more concerned with protec-
ting the perpetrators Of these
unspeakable crimes than
their innocent victims.
