Republicans here and in
Texas are taking satisfaction,
first, out of the fact their
candidate for Senator in
Tuesdays election ran first
in a large field of Democrats,
including Senator William A.
Blakley who by appointment
fills the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Vice Presi-
dent Lyndon Johnson. Their
second cause for satisfaction
in the Texas election lies in
the fact that the Kennedy
New Frontiers program took
a slap in the face. The Re-
publican candidate, John G.
Tower, ran as an outright foe
of the program, and Senator
Blakley, who topped the
Democrats in the race, is op-
posed to many of the Ken
nedy proposals, including the
Kennedy Federal aid to edu-
cation bill and the Kennedy
bill to place medical care for
the aged under the Social Sc
curity System.
Mr.. Towers lead, however,
does not mean his election,
though the Republicans dear
ly hope he may have chance
for victory. Under the new
Texas law, the winner in a
special election does not take
alias he did at one time.
Unless he has a majority of
the total vote cast, there must
be a run-off election with the
second man in the vote tabu-
lation. This is expected to be
Senator Blakley. Mr.. Tower,
a 35-year-old former college
professor, ran against Lyndon
johnson in the senatorial
race last November - since
Mr.. Johnson was permitted
to run both for his old Senate
seat and for Vice President
on the same day. Mr.. Tower
lost to Mr.. Johnson by a vote
of 926,653 to 1,3O6,625, or a
plurality Of 379,972 votes.
However, he did receive ALL
per cent of the total vote cast
"a record for a Republican
candidate in Texas for a
Statewide job since Recon-
Struction Days.
Faint Hope for Tower
What the Republicans hope
is that many of the Demo-
Gratis who supported candi-
dates other than Senator
Blakley - there were four
principal ones-will cast their
votes in the run-off election
for Mr.. Tower. AS things
stand today, this may be a
thin hope. But many Texas
Democrats - conservatives
middle of the readers and
liberals - did not like Mr
JohnSon's acceptance of the
vice-presidential nomination
to run with President John
F. Kennedy. They do not now
like Mr.. Johnson's eSpousal
of the Kennedy legislative
program, nor his appointment
to head the commission to
eliminate all discrimination
in employment opportunity in
firms having contracts with
the Federal Government.
Seventy-one names ap-
peared on the senatorial elec-
tion ballot, all running with
out party designation. One
candidate died before the

Laos 'Puppet Show

1CS geCClIlg preCCy OBVIOUS
that it's just a matter of
time until Laos fades behind
the bamboo curtain. The old
familiar Soviet formula has
progressed far enough by now
for even the most naive
to recognize it as the same
one that has been employed
so often and successfully in
the past. 1t begins with what
are supposed to be local t1ou-
blemakers who later turn out
to be schooled Communists.
AS the story unfolds, we find
that they have many friends
Of a military nature who I've
just over the border, and who
just can't resist climbing
into the other fellows back
yard to lend their support.
1t takes them quite a while
to resolve the situation, how
ever, and they find it neces-
Sary to call in more assist
ance. BY the time any at
tempts at mediation are in
Stituted, the entire situation
has snowballed and the 1eb-
els have a strangle hold on
the government.
Then comes replacement Of
government officials with
Red puppets. followed closely
by a ceaSe-fire. At this point,
even though the mediators
may cause some of the Of
ficialS to be reinStated; the
infiltration has been complete
enough so that it's a lost
cause, as far as we're con-
cerned.
The Russians have suggest
ed that a peace conference
date be established sometime
early in April. Simultaneous
with this benign wish, the
Laotian rebels and the in
vasion forces from North Wet
nam began an intensive drive
for the capital; supplied as
they rolled forward by air
drops from Russian built
transports.
Since only drastic action by
the Western powers could
stop the plot at this point,
and this risk-laden degree of
interference is obviously not
forthcoming, the sacrificing
Of Laos seems imminent. BY
the time a peace conference
materializes, the Laotian neu-
trality under discussion will
already be beyond reclama-
ton, since there is no such
thing as a Communist power
that is neutral.
So let's remember that this
encroachment and seizure
process have so far deprived
millions of people of liberty.
1t can happen to us, if we
get too confused or compla-
cent. I sincerely recommend
two excellent books on this
subject: Masters of Deceit"
by j. Edgar Hoover of the
F.B.I., and Your War for
Peace" by General Frank L.
Howley. former commandant
of the Berlin Occupation. The
titles speak for themselves.

way of thinking, grossly discriminatory.
If the Governor does not veto the

Schools for Retarded

A policy statement from the
Montgomery County Board Of
Education reads: THE goals
of Montgomery County Public
Schools reflect the values and
expectations Of the society
they serve. The doors Of
the county public schools
must be open to all children
and youth regardless Of abil-
ity, background, race or
creed. Different educa-
tional programs must be tai
lored to fit a wide variety of
capacities, interests. and tai
ents. All children and
youth have the right to pub
lie education which will per-
NIT and promote the optimum
development of each person in
our democratic society. :"
Generally speaking, the
school system of Montgomery
County does reflect this pol
icy. Notable among the ex-
ceptions is the opportunity
for severely retarded children.
For the past five years the
county has been conducting
classes for retarded children
in a cottage on the site of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Recre-
alton Center, for which they
pay the Park and Planning
Commission approximately
$75 a month. This building,
in addition to being a fire
trap, is substandard and in
no way lends itself to the
training of these children.
Last year the Montrose Ele-
mentary School, about the
last of the three-room school
houses in Montgomery Coun.
ty, was abandoned for regu-
lar school use and presently
houses classes for retarded
children, some Of whom were
taken from the second floor
at Norwood (aS a safety pre-
caution) and others from the
waiting list. This is where we
stand now.
This year promised to be
the year of New Horizons"
for retarded children. Super
intendent Whittier proposed
that the Sandy Spring School,
with additions, be used for
retarded children from up
county, and also that a school
be constructed. on a site al
ready owned by the school
system, to serve as a training
center for retarded children
from down-county. When
these proposals were sub
mitted to the school board,
justification for an up-county
and down-county school was
also presented. Not only did
this justification indicate the
numbers of children in need,
both up and down county,
but also identified each child
according to name, address.
and individual problem. De-
spite the fact that public SEN
timent, as expressed at the
public hearings on Mr.. Whit
tiers budget proposals, indi-
Gated almost unanimous sup
port for the aforementioned
items the school board saw
fit in its later deliberations,
to delete both these items
from the budget.
Presently the Montgomery
County Council is studying
the budget. I am told that
they have no power to add any
additional items. However.
inasmuch as the problem Of
retarded children is county
wide, they are not without
responsibility. I urge the
council to get together with
the school board for the pur-
pose of determining, once
and for all, what the program
should be, whose RESPONSE
bility it is to administer it,
and to take whatever steps
are necessary to get the pro-
gram underway. Each delay
in the implementation of a
training program for the Sc
verely retarded, means that
more Of these children will
finish out their lifetime in
the oblivion of a State men
tai institution.
