Reorgonized Command

" In the remaking of the Democratic
Party face, Senator Jackson of Wash
ington presents some good credentials
for a job he did not seek-that of ma
tional chairman.
q, He is, for one thing, part of the
"youth movement" that is clearly taking
control of party that has been out of
executive power for eight years and that
had, in fact, been losing much Of it's
freshness and momentum even before
its 1852 defeat. At 48, Mr.. Jackson has
had nearly 20 years in Congress and has
been consistently identified with the
temporarily liberal faction of his party.
In the latter respect, his philosophy of
Government and politics fits substan-
TALLY that of the party'S presidential
nominee, Senator Kennedy, without pos

Running With Crowd

Americans today are be-
ing led to believe that what
ever move we make in the
field of foreign policy and
even in important matters of
domestic concern should be
acceptable in principle to the
governments of the countries
Of the world. I feel we should
remind ourselves that run
ming with the crowd is hardly
brilliant craftsmanship and
rarely admirable.
Blindly seeking popularity
and reaching out for friends,
promising all things to all
people, are an indication of
weakness. This country must
commit itself to a course die
tated only by our own con-
science and established on
our basic principles of free
dom and justice under law.
The diligent pursuit of such
a course will command the
respect Of the world.

In the 21a years that we

planned to them that our

keep in business a place that
refuses entry to our fellow

Political Diagnosis

It has been said that poll
tics is the gizzard of society,
full of grit and gravel; the
two political parties it's two
opposite halves very often
split into quarters, which
grind on each other causing
a confirmed dyspepsia.
1t is obvious that the DEM
ocratic gizzard has been split
into quarters, and the Demo-
cratic Party is now in the
throes of this malaise. I sub
init that'the Republicans will
catch the disease and be very,
very sick.
l suggest that a good dose
of the salt of realism" be
swallowed by the G. o. P. The
only cure for this illness is
victory in November. A Re-
publican defeat will surely
be fatal to that party.
Mr.. Nixon, who is a fine.
able politician, is not the
antidote. Only Gov. Rookie
Teller, who combines ability,
experienced craftsmanship.
with charm, sincerity and
maturity, can possibly con-
tribute to the good health of
the Grand Old Party by
achieving a Republican vic
tory in November.
To all the die-hards who
may find this a bitter pill to
sWallow-please - remember,
the cure will be worth it!

Mr.. KS Coptives

Today begins what is known as Cap
tive Nations Week. 1t is week designed
to keep us and the rest of the world from
forgetting one of the uglieSt and most
tragic stories in the modern history of
mankind. The story is that of pitilesS
Soviet imperialism and what it has done
to freedom in nearly dozen once-in-
dependent lands.
These lands, in alphabetical order,
are Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
East Germany Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland and Romania. The
list, which included Yugoslavia until
Marshal Tito declared his independence
of the Kremiin some years ago, could be
justifiably broadened to embrace such
other countries as the Ukraine, which
has long since been absorbed by the
U.S.SR. But the prime purpose of Cap
tive Nations Week is to focus attention
on the imperialiStic crimes committed
by the Kremlin since the beginning of
the Second World War.
The Baltic countries-Estonia, Lat
via and Lithuania-have been gobbled
up completely. AS for the other victims,
they are permitted under puppet Com
muniSt regimes rigidly controlled by
Moscow, to maintain some Semblance of
Separateness from the Soviet Union.
But this SeparateneSS is cruelty limited,
and woe betide those who would dare
attempt to expand it into genuine in
dependence. The most frightful case in
point is what happened to the Hungar-
An vxyloo
their heroic uprising for freedom and
when Nikita Khrushchev and his COL
leagues answered them with naked
armed force and literal butchery of
all their hopes and dreams.
This is one of the grim facts that
will be stressed this week, as it ought to
be stressed, by all friends of the once
free peoples now held in captivity be-
hind the Iron Curtain. Certainly, as Am
baSsador Lodge once put it to the United
Nations, $50 long as independence re-
mains unachieved, so long as the So
Wet Union continues to intervene in the
affairs of these countries, we cannot and
we will not remain silent and unproteSt-
ing" On the contrary, eve will do what
we can :. to show these hapleSS VIC
Tins that they are not forgotten, that
they are not lost" and we will continue
to supply these people with the truth
about our world and the truth about
their world. At every opportunity we
will assure them that . the old ties of
kinShip and friendship have not been
broken"
These words constitute a good text
for Captive Nations Week. Free men
everywhere, together with their govern
mentS, ought to give the most sober
thought to the terrible nature of the
crimes committed against the victimized
lands. And those crimes, in turn, should
serve as a measure of the stunning men
dacity and monumental hypocrisy of
Nikita KhruShchev's current propagan-
da assault on the Vests American-led
"imperialiSts" and "aggressors." What
we face here is something that is at once
as DANGEROUS as il is contemntihle

The Young in Heart

..,l5- Ehere was certain quality OF am
biyalence in John Kennedys acceptance
Speech-a tendency to move simultane-
ously in two directions
There was the section which was
purely political-the free-wheeling at
tack on the Vice President without too
much regard for facts or objectivity.
Then there were the sections in which
the Democratic candidate sought to
pitch his appeal to higher ground, to
focus the mind of the Nation on con-
siderationS which have little or nothing
to do with the hurly-burly of partisan
politics. 1t would have been a better
speech If Senator Kennedy, on this
occasion, had stuck to the high road.
There will be plenty of time and enough
occasions for the tooth-and- CLAW school
Of politicking.
lin the main, however, the 43-year-
old nominee was trying to appeal to the
best that is in us. He said that his is
call to "the young in heart, regardless
of age" But the accent was on youth.
All over the world, he said, particularly
in the newer nations, young men are
coming to poWer-young men who are
not bound by old traditions nor blinded
by the old fears. And the time has
come, he declared, for new generation
OF leadership men to cope with
new problems and new opportunities.
"a For his part, if elected in this year
in which we stand on the edge of new
frontier" Senator Kennedy proposes to
rally America to stern duty. 1.-The new
frontier of which I speak," he said, "is
not set of promiSes-it is set of chal-.
lengeS. 1t sums up not what intenG
to offer the American people, but what
I intend to ask of them. It appeals to
their pride, not their pocketbook-it
holds out the promise of more sacrifice
instead of more security"
These are bold, challenging words
words which are not consistent with the
tenor of the party platform, on which
Senator Kennedy said he can run with
enthusiasm and conviction" The plat
form is hardly call upon the voters
for bigger and Sterner sacrifices; it is a
promise of bigger and better benefits if
only,t Democrats are put in charge
Of things. It does not promise the vot-
.ers a slice Of the moon, but we suppose
no one thought to ask for that.
The alluring promises in platforms,
however, are one thing; the relentless
realities of our time are quite another
The moment of truth in this speech
came when Senator Kennedy asked:
"Are we willing to match the Russian
sacrifice Of the present for the future
or must we sacrifice our future in order
to enjoy the present?
.,pHow will Americans respond to Sen
ator Kennedy's question? How will the
Senator measure up to the implications
Of his own question? Much, perhaps
everything, depends upon the answers,
and they cannot be known now. But
neither can they be long deferred. We
hope and trust that Senator Kennedy
is made of the stuff that will not choose
to sacrifice our future for the sake of
enjoying the presenter for the sake
ot1yoteS in what promises to be hard
fought campaign

OAS Inquiry

In voting 10 to for a full-scale
investigation of Venezuela'S charges
against the Dominican Republic, the
Council of the 21-Nation Organization
of American States has. acted in keep
ing with its hemisphere responsibilities.
More than that, it has moved in a man
ner that promises to help ease some of
the tension in the Caribbean area.
AS presented by Venezuela, the
charges accuse GeneralisSimo Truiillo
and his Dominican regime of having
been a leading plotter behind the re-
cent unsuccessful effort to kill Vene-
zuelan President Betancourt. The Do
minicanS have issued strong denials,
and the inter American Council of
course has not prejudged the case one
way or the other. Nevertheless, it has
decided in favor of thorough inquiry
because of evidence-aS noted by John
c. Dreier our Ambassador to the GAS
that there are serious grounds for
believing that the attempted aSsassina-
ton may have received stimulus
and support from high authorities of
another government"
This decision calls first of all for
the appointment of special committee
Qts members are expected to include
the United States, Argentina and pos
sibly Panama) to carry out an on
the-spot investigation into the charges.
Then, after completion of the inquiry,
there is to be meeting of the hemis-
phere'S 81 foreign ministers to pass
judgment on the committees findings
and recommend whatever action may
seem fitting. Presumably, however, the
ministerial conference-whose place and
date have not been fixed-will not be
convened If the investigators find that
the Venezulean-Domi controversy
can be settled without recourse to such
high-level inter-American gathering.
In any case, despite the envenomed
relations between the Betancourt and
Trujillo regimes, there is reason to
hope that the OAS-which has proven
itself as an effective peace-making
agency-will be able to render further
good service in this instance. And the
next task to be set before it may we'll
be that of dealing with the grim chal-
lenge implicit in Fidel CastroS apparent
readiness to enslave Cuba as a Soviet
satellite and tool Of Communist sub
version throughout the Americas.

the West Coast personal representation
in the partys top triumvirate. AS seri-
Gus contender for the vice presidential
nomination, he had regional support
from more than his own State. Recog-
milton of this fact no doubt played
part in Senator Kennedy'S decision to
ask Mr.. Jackson, who is also close per-
sonal friend of the presidential nominee,
to take on the craftsmanship. His agree
ment to serve rounds out top command
of proven energy and competence for
the fight ahead.

Mail by Rail

Your July l editorial mo
Mail Showdown, Please" has
been called to my attention,
and it is my feeling that per-
haps you are not fully cogni-
zant of the situation relative
to the transportation of mail.
The bill introduced by Rep
resentative Cunningham, re-
ferred to in your editorial.
which would prohibit the
carrying of first class mail
by air unless the appropriate
rate of postage has been paid
is the only fair way to treat
those who use the United
States mail. 1t would Ger
tainly be highly discrimina-
tory if any class of mail can
be dispatched by air the same
as the mail upon which a
premium has been paid for
such service. Actually, there
is no statutory authority for
the practice by the Post
master General of sending
any class mail by air when the
air mail rate has not been
paid. This is supposedly be-
ing done on an experimental
basis when space on aircraft
is available. This practice has
resulted in a substantial loss
of revenue to rail carriers
and contributed to the cur
tailment of passenger service
to the detriment of the public
generally.
The railroads are required
by law to own, maintain and
have available special passen-
ger train equipment for the
handling of mail in any guam
tity on every passenger train
operated and are subject to
heavy fines if they fail to
have such equipment on hand
when required by the Post
Office Department. The tax
payers pay the enormous
deficit of the Post Office De-
partment and the enormous

ports and facilities.
In your editorial you state
that the railroads may need
help in the form of additional
subsidies. l am at a loss to I'M
derstand this statement since
the railroads do not now re-
ceive any subsidies. Certainly
they have mail contracts with
the Government but these
contracts are not even COM
pensatory and in no way con-
stitute subsidies. On the other
hand, the airlineS are already
heavily subsidized and dis
elimination now exists in this
respect which, If allowed to

TIL zen there's someone's

realities beyond this bread
a n d-b litter life breaks
through to us in someone's
death! After so years of this
earth life there has just been
translated one of the out
standing spiritual leaders and
preachers of this generation
my dear friend William E.
SangSter, of London. Through
him God wrought great glory.
With nothing left of bodily
control but his mind, his
eyes, and his right hand, he
wrote, just hours before his
death, a radiant message for
his friends around the world
to read. In the midst of his
Gripping affection he wrote
me, in a letter I shall prize
forever: God is using these
days. He is nearer to me than
ever. The doctors have no
answer to my need. But I
believe that He has, and I
am in perfect peace before
Him. I am quiet in mind,
glad that there are useful
things that I can still do,
and ready for all His perfect
will"
What an invasion of God
and OF the larger life on the
other side of death has come
10 us all as a Divine invasion
now that DR.. Sangster has
gone on!
Then there is poetry. The
highest thing that plodding
prose can perhaps sense but
never say finds a voice in
poetry. Poetry opens windows
to haunting beauty and to
enchanting scenes which are
an escape into eternity. AS
James Russell Lowell puts it:
Poetry is not made out of
the understanding. The ques-
ton of common sense is al
ways, What is it good for?'
A question which would abol-
ish the rose and be triumph
antly answered by the cab
bage."
o, what invasions of the
highest and best come to us
as. in poetry, tremendous
spiritual realities come rap
ping at the barred door!
Yes. when we think we are
safest there comes a sunset,
a garden, a sorrow, a poem
and that is enough to capture
so hopes and to conquer so
fears.

destroy our happy homes.
That arch saboteur, Gle

coaxing our wives to take a
lesson from a Navy cook on
preparing the food in our

Asking a lousy CT chef for
cooking advice is like asking
the Premier of Poland for
tips on good government. 1t
is spinach, I say. and to
heck with it!

our wives and demand that
these terrible CT recipes be
torn to shreds before further
damage can be done.
