order out of chaos in order that
a bloody, senseless civil war
would be avoided.
1t was like sending one un.
armed rookie cop into the mid
die of a Central Park gang
fight involving 500 hoodlums.
Unless all signs fail, it viii
always be thus. The Soviet will
continue to block all attempts
by the West to- build a truly
strong, mobile armed force to
serve all the United Nations and
even non-aligned countries such
as Switzerland. The sponsors
of this project see such a force
as a guardian Of world peace,
one which would be strong
enough to put down any nation
which moves a ggressively
against another. The US. still
stands ready to contribute most
generously in men and money
to such a task force, and to
abide by the rulings of those
charged with dispatching it.
Russia wants no such armed
force loose in the world.
So UN will piddle when 1t
could paddle. 1t will spare the
rod, and its insufficient war
riors will continue to be logged,
and worse. If we mustered SO
nations behind our contention
that there should be a strong
UN force built to stamp out
brush-fire wars before they
spread, and only Russia dis
sented, Russia would prevail.
Such is the pulversizing power
of its veto in the Insecurity
Council.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 - The
peopleto-people program, found
ed by former President Eisen-
hover, has issued a pamphlet
intended to help us Americans
answer some sticky questions
that may be asked them by
foreigners, here and abroad.
One Of the questions, for ex.
ample, is Are you Americans
as materialistic as some people
say you are?"
Now, that is a tough one.
Some Americans know
would draw their minks around
them with sheepish dignity and
reply, certainly not" Others
would be outraged - look
who's asking, and we're giving
you people billions in aid" A
generous and embarrassed few
would say, sure we're material.
istic but it's not so bad. Come
on, Ill buy you a drink !"
The official American atti-
tude," however, as expressed in
the little pamphlet, is less to
the point. If asked if you are
materialistic you mean that
Americans want to live as well
and comfortably as they can,
we plead guilty. But a high
standard of living is not proof
of materialistic outlook on life.
People everywhere are striving
for a better life.
"Of course" the American
attitude" then comedies, Some
Americans are more interested
in getting and spending than in
anything else. But many of
us are deeply concerned with
the spiritual and cultural side
of life"
II were the foreigner who
had posed the question, l would
listen to that answer in an at
titude of confused skepticism.

foreigner who had read the re.

Rep. Charles NJ. Matthias

A battle which involves the
interests of every American tax
payer, and specifically the in
terests of many individuals in
Maryland, has just been won in
the House of Representatives.
Since June 21st when the
Joint Senate-House Committee
on Atomic Energy recommend
ed that the Congress provide
$95 million for the construction
of electric energy generating ia
cilities at the new Plutonium
Production Reactor at Hanford,
Washington, a major battle has
been waged between public"
and private" power advocates.
This controversy is now con-
cluded, except for forlnalities,
and | am happy to report to
you this week the history of
this victory for private enter
prise and the American people.
This controversy actua lily
started in 1883 when the Con-
gress approved legislation au-
thorizing the Atomic Energy
Commission to construct a dual
purpose atomic reactor at Han
ford, Washington at a cost of
S145 million. This law stated
that the purpose of the project
was to provide for production
of plutonium, an essential in
gredient in nuclear weapons,
and to generate electrical
power.
The Seth Congress appropri-
ated funds from the Federal
Treasury which enabled the
Atomic Energy Commission to
begin construction of the plu-
tonium-producing reactor but re-
Trained from providing public
funds for the total construction
of the power producing facil-
ties.
Last June 21st the contro-
versy was again spanked by the
Introduction of the bill to ap-
propriate public funds for the
construction of this power prof.
ect. The House of Represent
atives considered the public
power "rider" which was at
tached to the Atomic Energy
c o m m S sion's appropriations
bill on July 10, on September 5
and on September Is. On these
three occasions 1 voted against
the expenditure of public funds
for this unjustified project and
am happy to report that the
majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives also voted against
this scheme on these three
dates. This was the only action
possible for members of Con-
gress who feel that we must
keep Government out of private
business.
1t became clear in both the
hearings and the debate on this
bill that the addition Of public
power facilities to this project
would in no way advance nu-
clear power technology.
Congress has c on n t.
ly agreed that the power role
of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion in the development of nu-
clear power should be research
and development of processes
that might ultimately lead to
economic and efficient nuclear
power. The requested expendi-
ture of $95 million would in no
way add to our technical knowl-
edge.
This project was also, in my
! opinion, contrary to the purpose

Sen. John nj. Butler
"Muzzling the Military

hhAC "
Considerable excitement has
centered around a memoran-
dunn submitted by Senator Vii.
liam Fulbright, Chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, to the Department
of Defense. Senator Fulbright
has explained that the docu-
ment's main purpose is to reaf-
firm traditional civilian control
of the military, some of whom,
according to the Senator, have
been spreading fright wing
propaganda among civilians.
The memorandum has had its
effect. To date, two seminars to
be held on military installations
have been cancelled. Such dis.
tinguished scholars as DR.. Rob.
ert Strausz-Hupe of the Univer.
sity Of Pennsylvania (whose In
stitute is mentioned in the
paper) have seen their profess
sional regulations severely ques-
toned.
Great doubt has been cast
upon the intellectual equipment
of American generals and ad.
mirals. Perhaps most signifi-
cantly of all, The Worker, the
official weekly newspaper OF
the American Communist Party,
has been cheering on the muz.
zling of the military.
l would like to make my posi-.
ton clear: first, / support the
historical position of this coun
try that civilian control of the
military is essential. Second,
believe that it is not the duty OF
the obligation of the military to
discuss politics with their men
Third, do not argue now and
never have argued that liberal
ism equals socialism equals
communism.
However, l would like to
quote from the Fulbright mem
orandum to demonstrate that
its scope goes far beyond
"right-wing" speeches by Amer
lean officers:
"The American people have
never really been tested in such
a struggle las the Cold War;,
In the long run, it is quite posi-
BILE that the principal problem
of leadership win be, if it is
not already, to restrain the de
sire of the people to hit the
Communists with everything
we've got, particularly if there
are more Cubas and Laoses."
This is not an indictment Of
military leaders for usurpine
civilian control, but an indict
ment of the point of view thai
the United States must dc
everything within its power tc
win the Cold War. 1t cast doubt
on the will of Americans. 1t i'm
plies that there may well be
other Cubas and Laoses
(Heaven forbidD 1t implies that
we must never use force nc
matter what may come.
Evidence abounds on all sides
that we are at war and war, as
we all know, ends in either vic
tory or defeat. If victory is I'd
be ours, we should consign tc
the files such "memos" as the
Fulbright document and study
such books, for example, as A
Forward Strategy for America

pert named DR.. Robert Strauss

To find out about the

crazeS, the Pachanga and
the Charanga, we went to
the man who was instru-
mental in making them IA
mous-Art Ford, a New
York City disc jockey.
"The Pachanga came
from the Bronx, unlike most
Of the other Latin dances
which originated in Cuba or
South America" he says.
"A player of the wooden
flute named Johnny Pa
oheco wanted to use his
instrument as a lead instru-
ment. In order to do this, he
had to play faster. The
young people at the club
asked him how to dance to
the new type of music.
Johnny got down on the
dance floor, made up a
dance around a handker-
chief, and that night in the
Bronx, a new dance was
born"
We asked Mr.. Ford if
there was much of a differ
ence between the Pachanga

In a cross-country survey.
we have just discovered that
nearly. half of the 1,072
youths we talked to are con-
WINGED that they have had
too little career guidance.
Only a tenth consider that
too much advice has been
thrust upon them.
This doesn't tie in with
the traditional picture of a
teen-ager as someone VIII o
can't be told anything, but
then the same might be said
Of q good share of our sur
vey results.
In seeming contradiction
to the quest for guidance is
the general feeling among
the young people that they
are quite capable of making
their own decisions. Perhaps
they just crave information
and advice, not instruction
or demands.
Actually, four fifths of
those questioned have already
decided upon the direction
of their careers-en engineering

HERE'S THE PACHANGA

says. 1.-THE Charanga is
basically patterned after
the Pachanga."
Anyone, however, who is
brave enough to attempt
either dance, will find very
quickly that it requires a
hearty physical effort-to
say the least. The versions
taught by dance schools are
more sedate, having been
made up by a professional
dance instructor.
The Pachanga has been
performed on national tele-
vision shows and is catch
ing on all over the country.
This is the first major
contribution that the Latin
Americans in this country
have made" says Mr.. Ford.
But he admits it probably
won't replace rock and roll.

Since the election Of Presi-
dent Kennedy. more and
more liberal legislation has
been introduced in Congress.
The liberals are allegedly
dedicated to lettering the lot
Of the American people, but
they are going to better the
material lot of the American
people no matter what the
cost. They have and are
spending their country down
the financial drain with thelf
credit card Government.
This country was foxnded
on the principals of free en-
terprises and initiative. Until
the advent of F. D. R., this
country had always been fl
nancially stable and observed
domestic situations with re-
aliStic appraisals, not with
the improved hypothesis Of
the social worker.
To preserve our Nation, eve
must return to the pioneer
spirit Of our ancestors. The
emphasis must again be
placed on the individual, not
the group. Above all, we must
return to the Constitution
and follow it to the letter,
not just when it serves our
purposes.
If most of the liberal legis-
lation now pending before
Congress is passed into law,
it will be another great step
towards helping the Commu-
nists take over. They want
this country to become So
cialiStic and we are, step by
step, doing just that.
How long will Americans
let self-styled eggheads like
Jacob Javits, Adlai Steven
son and Elliott Roosevelt lead
them? We must regain our
sanity and restore the Con-
Stitution and our Republic to
their proper places if we hope
to survive the cold war.

(TEEN, August 49, concern
ing the hijackings and Cuba.
I did not say Cuban hi
jackingS" because there is no
actual proof, as Of yet, that
any Of the hijackerS were
Cubans.
AS for blowing up the is
land after our plane is re-
turned, never have I heard
Of a more absurd, immature
idea. Would Gwen perhaps
like to see us plunged into
another world war?
Being a foreign service
family" we have lived most
Of our lives abroad, and have
spent nearly three years in
Cuba. We got to know the
people, love them and I'M
derstand them.
Many of our very best
friends managed to escape,
but unfortunately, many
could not. They were thrown
into filthy cells - over
crowded with people who
hadn't eaten in days, people
committing suicide, women
having miscarriages, children
fainting from hunger and
thirst. Can Gwen truthfully
say she'd like to drop q bomb
on conditions such as these?
Communism's conquest Of
Cuba was indeed a blow to
all Of us Especially because
Of our faith in Fidel after he

we have not given up hope,
and each one of us is doing
his best to help in anyway
possible.
