A Diplomats View

On the University of
Notre Dame campus recently
former Ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge held a very en-
couraging, very interesting
but very disturbing session
with several thousand stu
dents. He was asked what a
Nixon administration would
do to improve the quality of
the Nations international
representation. And he re-
Piled that If Mr.. Nixon is
elected, there will be a com
pletely new lineup of United
States diplomats abroad
after January 20, when cur
rent terms expire"
1t is encouraging to learn
that so many students have
an active interest in politi-
cal science and that candi-
dates as busy as Mr.. Lodge
do something to satisfy these
appetites. It is also encour-
aging to discover the deep
perception apparently pos
sessed by these students, as
evidenced by their questions.
It is interesting to note
that at least some of these
students see room for i'm
provement in the quality of
our international represen-
tation.
But it is most disturbing
to learn that Mr.. Lodge and
by implication Mr.. Nixon feel
that our international repre-
sentatives are so in need of
Improvement that they must
go. At least, I feel this is
what Mr.. Lodge means when
he said there will be "a COM
pleCely new lineup"
The inescapahle inference
here is that not one member
Of the administrators for
eign service team is compe-
tent and I don't believe that
even the most ardent Demo-
crat could, in honesty, make
such an accusation.
I do believe that the quail
ity OF our international rep
resentation would be i'm
proved and strengthened i'm
measurably if there were a
constant reappraisal of its
accomplishments and a re-
placement of ineffective
parts. I believe there should
be q continuous search for
capable and efficient person.

Time for Last Word

The National Geographic Society
has made an interesting study of Ian
guageS and major dialects as spoken
around the world today. It estimates
there are at least 5000 variations
including several hundreds of what it
calls Splinter languages" This may be
news to lot of people, but there is
collateral angle that is hardly surpris-
ing to any American male. Dealing with
the speed of speaking, the Society finds
that American women average ITS syl-
lableS per ninute-25 more than nor
mally are uttered by the American male.
Obviously this accounts, in part at least,
for the fact that the girls always have
time for the last word.

'Nonportison ISSUE

I commend The Star for
the position taken on Octo-
ber 3 in its editorial "a Nom
partisan Issue" concerning
the equalization of retirement
benefits for military person.
mel and support Of legisla-
ton by Vice President Nixon
and Senator Kennedy to re-
move the inequity Of the 1858
Act wherein earlier retireeS
do not receive the increased
benefits granted by Congress.
We would also appreciate
your editorial consideration
Of Civil Service retirees, whose
annuities were overlooked
when adjustments were made
in salaries of active duty
employees to meet higher liv-
ing costs. Although some ad-
justments were made to cor
respond with liberalized pay
granted to active employees
up to 1856. and a partial ad-
justment was made in 1858 to
pre-1956 retirees in recogni-
ton Of the liberalized retire
ment formula which became
effective october /, 1856,
there has been no adjustment
in annuities to correspond
with active duty pay adjust
ments in 1858 and 1860. AS
a result, all civil service re-
tree and Survivor annuitants
are at least 18 per cent be-
hind current employees in
cost Of living adjustments,
and some are from Is to 80
per cent below present stand
ards.
In a nation that empha-
sizes its efforts toward peace,
we believe that civil servants
are entitled to consideration
equal to that given to the
military, in retirement, as
well as on active duty.
Our program calls for cost
of-living adjustments in an
nuities corresponding to those
previously given to active
duty employees. and a new
law requiring annuity adjust
ments in the future to cor
respond with statutory ad-
justments in employe sala-
ries. We hope you can give
this program your support.

that the program can go forward with

Much Of the credit for the CO.

Candidates Face Moment of Truth

but will not, that If they are
so much smarter than he is,
why is it he and not one of
them who has the Republican
nomination?
But his own private re-
action to their advice is like
ly to be that they are urging
him to the one course that
would be most likely to defeat
him. The last thing he can
afford is to "get tough"-if
this means, as it seems to
mean, to begin shouting
around and waving his arms.
For there is from Nixon's
past an old impression-en-
tirely justified or not-of a
tendency to get too tough"
altogether. Any cry that he
had taken the low road"
would not need to be really
justified to hurt him. If it
were a general cry, justified
or not, it could destroy the
whole hope of his campaign
which is to appeal as the
candidate of a numerically
minority party to diSsatis-
fed Democrats and calm
minded independents.
"DOctrinaire" Democrats
Most of the pressure on
Kennedy is to turn the clock
back to the 1930s and the
Roosevelt New Deal-which
he doesn't want to do but
which the professional lib
erals insist he must do.
Most of this advice comes
from doctrinaire people who
twice helped Adlai E. Ste
venson to massive defeat by
Dwight Eisenhower and will
not or cannot read the mes
sage Of 10 years of election
returns that this is a mod
crate country.
Just as the public doesn't
want any raw red meat
from Nixon, it doesn't want
from Kennedy a Depression
Era kind of liberalism as
outmoded now as the blue
eagle of NRA days. The
banks are now long since
open. The soup kitchens are
now long since closed.
What the public probably
wants, if recent political his
tory means anything, is a
campaign closing as sensibly
as it opened-and geared to
the problems Of 1960-by
two capable and sensible and
moderate young men. And
the final and lonely personal
decisions of these two young
men probably will make it
that kind of campaign to
the end.

,Lewd Movie Ads

The Evening Star is used
more for homework in our
house than the encycopedia.
Our children are constantly
looking for news that can be
used in science and current
events classes. This in addi-
ton to reading subjects of
interest to them from the
front page to the "funnies. !"
But I am concerned about
some Of the advertisements
on the movie pages. As a
mother, it seems to me that
your otherwise excellent
family newspaper is down.
graded by these advertise
ments, which contain nude
women and suggestive de-
scriptions. I'm concerned
about juvenile delinquency,
as is your paper. I want to
avoid this problem in my
home. I want to help pre-
vent it in our environment.
1t is common knowledge
that the rate Of Juvenile de-
linquency and crime is af-
fected by questionable lit
erature and pornographic
art. Theaters which show
suggestive and indecent
movies are undoubtedly con-
tributing to the delinquency
Of youth by melting them to
seek thrills and excitement.
j. Edgar Hoover has pointed
out this unfortunate effect.
Unfortunately, some movie
owners continue to show this
type movie, and place ads
for them in newspapers.
While I know that the
printing Of these ads is a
part of the business end of
a paper. it seems to me that
the effect Of the ads might
be directly opposite to. the
desires expressed in your
editorial page on youth.
Knowing that The Star
has always taken the often
sive for a better community,
I suggest that perhaps some
thing can be done to bring
the movie pages up to the
standards Of the rest of your
newspaper. I'd like my chill
dren to be able to open any
page in The Star and al
ways benefit.

true opinions and feelings of
the Polish people.
When speaking before the
U.N. General Assembly ION
behalf Of the Polish people,"
he expressed full support for
the Soviet disarmament pro-
posal-which is tantamount
to a unilateral disarmament
of the free world-and toeing
the Moscow party line; and
pledged his allegiance to the
principle of peaceful co-ex-
iStence, the strategic goal of
which is, according to his
statement at the Communist
rally in Katowice on July 6,
1860, to bring about the vic
tory Of communism over capi-
taliSm. He also demanded the
admission of Red China to
the U.N., and asked for the
removal of the U.N. from the
U.S.A., together with the dis
missal of its secretary gen.
eral. He accused the US,
which granted economic aid
to Poland-with the approval.
and support Of the Polish
emigration-in excess of $400
million. Of continuing the
cold war. He expressed full
support for the Soviet infil-
tration of the Congo, siding
with Mr.. Lumumba's policy.
Besides, Mr.. Gomulka came
to this country, not by invita-
ton Of the U. S. Government,
or by his own initiative. He
came here by an order of Mr..
Khrushchev.
The presence of Mr.. Co.
mulka and his parroting of
the Soviet line in the U. N.
dramatically emphasizes the
full subordination of Poland's
foreign policy to Soviet goals
and strategy. It has now
been adequately demonstrated
that he is nothing but a tool
in Khrushchev's hands. The
true feelings of the Polish
people were demonstrated by
the Poznan uprising fought
under the slogan, Down with
the Soviets." They were also
expressed on August 2, 1859,
in Warsaw, where half a mil
lion people, deeply moved,
enthusiastically welcom e d
Vice-President Nixon, throw
ing flowers and shouting,

In that way. they clearly in
dicated that they support
American democracy in its
fight a against totalitarian
communism, and that in the
victory of the United States
they see their own victory
and the liberation from the
Communist yoke.
In only one respect was
Mr.. Gomulka in full agree
ment with the feelings of the
Polish people in their home
land and abroad. 1t was
when he spoke about the
fears raised in Poland by the
rebirth of the German army,
in connection with the Ger
man revisionist claims aimed
at the Polish western terri
tories. The recognition of the
Polish western. frontiers
along the Oder-Neisse line by
the United States might dis
pei these fears and such &C
ton is, more than ever be-
fore, necessary.

The two are now becoming
lonely men among the vast
crowds that follow them
about, amid the swarms Of
advisers who surround them.
Each presidential candi-
date now confrontS the
moment Of truth. Near at
hand is the time when each
must make, all alone at the
end, the ultimate and ire
vocable decisions of his cam
paign.
The campaign is passing
from the overlapping first
and second stages of mar
shaling a political organiza-
ton and then exploiting its
power. These have been long
spurts Of almost wholly COL
lective effort, Of hundreds of
consultations with Spokes-
men for every sort Of in
terest.
The third and climactic
phase now approaching is
the phase Of personal and
final choice by each candi-
date. 1t will no longer be
what "they" think ought to
be done in the campaign.
1t will now be what John F.
Kennedy, the Democratic
nominee. thinks John F. Ken
nedy ought to do. It will
now be what Richard M.
Nixon. the Republican nomi-
nee, thinks Richard M. Nixon
ought to do.
Campaigning by commit
tee is ending: campaigning by
and for the nominee himself
is coming in. A presidential
aspirant will at the start
take counsel from Washing
ton, d. c., to Walla Walla,
Wash. But the last and de-
cisive consultation goes on
within his own hat and head.
He will decide: "This is what
I will do and say from now
on, not what they and I to-
gether think I should do and
say"
Under Advisers Pressure
It is just such wholly per-
sonal decisions which both
candidates are now making.
And they are finding the
process difficult under the
pressure Of self-appointed
counselors whose intentions
are good but whose advice Is
not necessarily of the same
quality.

Luminescent Clouds Rival Moon
By THOMAS R. HENRI

There are luminescent
clouds in the night sky that
rival the full moon. BY their
light on a moonleSs night
trees and houses cast long
shadows on the earth.
While the rare phenome-
non Of noctilucent clouds is
known to astronomers few
have observed them. Appar-
emily one Of the most bril-
liant displays Of all time has
just been reported in the So
Wet astronomical journal Pi-
roda, a translation of which
has just been issued by the
Department of Commerce.
The report is credited to
DR.. S. N. Sredinskiy Of the
All-Union Astrogeodetic So
ciety. He first noted after
midnight, he records, an un-
usually bright glow in the
northern sky. Then the phe-
nomenon progressed rapidly:
"The clusters of noctilu-
cent clouds did not come in
contact with the horizon. The
clouds on the horizon, by
contrast, formed a lusterless
band of ddiSh-brown. Above
the sky was greenish, not the
usual blue. Below this the
color underwent a transition
to a slightly golden hue.
Changes Noted
The clouds were moving in
the direction Of the zenith.
In general the cloud accumu-
lation had the form of a fiat
arc or semicircle."
The luminescent clouds,
says the report, remained
bright two hours later. "At
this time those at the top
took on a clear bluish-silvery
hue while at the bottom the
color was golden. During the
entire period of visibility of
the clouds the sky remained
clear. Only at the eastern
edge of the accumulation of
noctilucent clouds were there
some small individual clouds.
Against the background they
seemed black.
"On the eve of the appear
ance of the noctilucent
clouds a large group of spots
passed across the central
meridian of the sun. This
suggests the possibility of
some sort of relationship be-
