Time was when mothers met with the
schoolmarms. male and female once a month
to help the teacher with her disciplinary
problems. They even sought advice from the
teacher on how best their children might &C.
quire some learning
The ladies of the P.T.A. had compassion
and concerned themselves with the cootie
problems in the school, They brought the
plumbing indoors, saw to the windows get
ting washed and were always ready to pro-
vide food and clothing to the less fortunate
when the teacher saw need.
Teachers were we'll regarded in those
days and the PTA backed them up The
mothers attempted to make the surroundings
more pleasant for them by providing sofas
and curtains.
Then democracy" overlook the P.T.A.
Aspiring neighborhood politicians and belli-
cose reformers found in it a ready made
rostrum for themselves All they had to do
was to round up their advocates and get them
to lay down couple of bucks to purchase
vote The inferior moiety always equates the
privilege to vote with the right to be heard,
so the worst members began to make
speeches. The meeting were turned into as
sembles to advance the political ambitions of
the fanatics who are always able to arrange
a majority and ultimately to capture an
organization.
What has become of the P.T.A. since the
takeover? Well to begin the original purpose
has been lost sight Of. II parent wants
news of his chiId's progress, he is advised to
make an appointment some afternoon with
the schoolm'am Nowadays the teachers at
tend mainly to find out what the professional
democrats" are up to. The few who come
do so under duress and often sulIen or
plain tired. Who cannot sympathize with the
teacher who has better things to do at home
In the night P.T.A. used to meet in the
afternoon = such as raise their families and
enjoy their homes?
Actually the P.TA. has become anti-pro-
fessional. Having had some schooling them
selves, these mediocre politicians have reached
the patiently insane conclusion that they,
therefore, are privy to preferred method and
content in education. Yet I have known
graduates of exalted institutions who escaped
an education, but who seriously assert that
they know something about teaching and

and some individuals are re-
ported to be members Of both
organizations.
According to Time Maya
zine, Minutemen recruits
swear to an oath: II will never
knowingly put myself in pos
ition which would place me in
category of a Communist,
pink, fellow traveller, or SYM
pathizer." OF particular i'm
portance is the definition of
the terms used in this oath.
and even more important is
who does the defining. One or
more members of the John
Birch Society have already
classified some of our past
Presidents, some members of
the Supreme Court, other gov
eminent leaders, and some re-
spected members of the COM
munication media as Com
munists, pro Communists,
pinks, fellow travellers, or sym
pathizers. Since our Presidents
are elected by the people, one
can only wonder II such reck-
less charges might be made
against a majority of the Am
erican people, and worry about
a possible connection between
the John Birch Society and the
Minutemen.
Let us hope that the govern
ment, state or Federal, will
step In TO give members Of
this private army leadership
and an official status. Those
members Of the Minuten1en
who are young enough could
be enlisted In the National
Guard and others could BE-
used in organizations Hike the
Civil Defense under proper
leadership. Private armies
have no place In the United
States.
The cause of anti. Commun.
ism is not enough to qualify
a man as a loyal American,
for Hitler, Mussolini, and
Franco also fought in the name
of Communism. Let us
hope that the John Birch So
ciety and the Minutemen are
anti Communist because they
believe in free and democra-
tic America, and that they sup
port the legally elected govern
ment Of this nation. What
should concern Americans Is
not so much what such organ
izations are or pretend to be,
but what they might become
under the wrong leadership.

During the Civil War an in
famous guerrilla band was led
by William Quantrill, a gam.
bier and a suspected murderer
and horse thief. Quantrill and
his men lacerated the state OF
Kansas and adjacent areas

q August 1868, Quantrill's
band burned the town of Law
renee, Kan, and murdered
more than $50 men, women
and children.
Irregular warfare attracts
the undisciplined, the unprin.

without troubling him with
the regulations and discipline
of the regular armed forces.
In times of trouble such a
man may seize on any cause
as an excuse to tyrannize and
lord it over individuals who
are his betters. Most, If not
all violent revolutions, such as
the French Revolution, and
many wars have provided a
perfect setting for such men

when led by men of character
such as Francis Marion do
such forces reflect credit on
their cause.
Considering the history OF
guerrilla warfare, one looks
with concern on organizations

200 Prisoners
Riot 4 Hours

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug.
II (AP).-Some 200 prisoners
at H Hampden County Jail
smashed glass and furniture,
threw debris from windows and
yelled protests for four hours
before State police quelled the
disturbance early today. No one
was injured.
Officers said the trouble ap-
parently ste nm e d from the
death Of a prisoner in solitary
confinement last July.
A yammering began among
some prisoners about $50 pm.
Efforts by guards to quiet them
down brought, instead, more
shouts and a banging on cell
bars.
A crowd estimated at up to
1000 persons gathered outside
the jail. Some shouted encour-
agement to the inmates but
most were merely curious spec
tatorS.
Then, officials said, the pris-
oners began smashing furniture
and throwing out debris and
personal belongings. State DO
lice were called to the Jail at
lilo pm.
Quiet returned only after jail
officials pointed out: the sus-
pected instigators and State
policemen hauled them bodily
into a segregation cell block.
No weapons were used.
Authorities said they could
not estimate the extent of
damage Immediately.
Witnesses said they heard
the prisoners shouting "they
killed Jette" and I'VE want
justice"
The shouts referred to Robert
Jette, %, who died of a heat
stroke while in solitary con-
finement.
Jette. who was serving two
years for burglary, had been
placed in solitary after alleged
ly beating a guard. An inquest
into his death has been under
way for several days.
