MILLER SOUNDS TOUGH

MILLER SOUNDS TOUGH
The new chairman of the Republican
Party talks tough and evidently means to
do battle with the Democrats with great
vigor.
Outgoing chairman Thruston Morton,
was a bit more on the restrained side,
and his utterances did not include as much
zip.
This is not to say that Representative
successful, but it does seem to indicate that
the Republicans will have colorful leader
ship in the years Immediately ahead.
Miller, soon after his election to the
craftsmanship of the party, told newsmen
that if an election were held today, the
nation would give President Kennedy
resounding no-confidence vote That is, at
the least straight talk.
Miller is the focal point of a shrewd
Republican political maneuver. He is a
Roman Catholic. The Republicans, realiz-
ing that Catholics voted heavily for fellow
Catholic Kennedy are seeking to offset the
advantage Kennedy has by way Of his
religion.
So the Miller election is an interesting
one for several reasons. He pulls no punch
es, is aggressive, and is Roman Catholic.
The questions which arise concerning him
are whether he will favor Richard Nixon
or Nelson Rockefeller, whether ne can
swing some of the Catholic vote to the
COP. and whether he will be able to
bring the Republicans victory either in
1925 congressional elections or in the 1864
presidential election.
GARBAGE FOR THE KIDS
The people responsible for commercial
television have taken a considerable beat
ing because of the poor quality of much
that is offered on the little screen. When
FEC Chairman Newton N. Minow recently
told broadcasters that the bulk of TV pro-
gramming was "a vast wasteland," that
was only the latest of many attacks.
This editorial is not going to be an
other such attack-at least, not another
broadside Damnation aplenty has been
uttered about television programming in
general. What we want to take a potshot
at is, specifically, TV programming for
children. For the most part, it is almost
incredibly bad
Children see a lot of television- not in
tended for them, and as to this we have
no recommendation except the austerity of
control over what they are permitted to
watch But some adult programs are by no
means the only ones unsuitable for the
young fry. So called children's programs
are, in many cases, unacceptable on the
grounds of both taste and morality.
Many of the comedies shown for the
youngsters depend largely on sadstic,
crude slapstick for their laughs. Many of
the cartoons are no better, and not few
of them are touched with both mediocrity
and sickness of mind Generally speaking,
there is almost no evidence that the mater
ial for children's programs shown day in
and day out has been selected with any
attention to what might be good or bad
for young viewers.
Children have good mental digestion;
they can consume a lot of garbage with
out readily apparent i'll effects. But there
are limits.

ONLY S1,OOO,OOO,OO 1000!

According to Senator Bennett of Utah,
us. government programs already auth
orized will cost the taxpayers a trillion
dollars in the next 40 years. A trillion,
in case you're interested in seeing it in
figures, is a thousand billion-$1 100000
100000.
No one save a celestial mathematician
is capable of visualizing such an amount.
One illustration, however, may help: In
cash, it would take a stack of $1,000 bills
$4,000 stories high!
Remem b er-Senator Bennett was
speaking only of already authorized pro-
grams. New and expanded programs could
vastly increase the costs. And one thing
is sure-if the welfare state philosophy pre-
walls and grows, as it has been prevailing
and growing, a trillion ultimately will
look rather like petty cash. Then the value
of the inflation-eroded dollar will move
right on down toward the vanishing point
along with both security and freedom.

WHAT A RIDEi
This country's feat in sending an as
tronaut into space was greeted with ban
ner headlines throughout the free world.
American prestige soared-as, in another
sense, had Commander Alan B. Shepard.
A typical London headline was "B0Y!
WHAT A RIDEr A highly significant
don Daily Sketch: Technically, they (the
Americans) were runners-up. Morally, the
cup is theirs. Every setback, every heart
breaking postponement was mercilessly ex-
posed.
"This is the kind of achievement we
understand in our part of the world. That's
the way we would like to have done it."
This, also, points to one of the great
and unbridgeable chasms that lie between
a closed society and free society-or, to
put it more bluntly, between a free society
and slave society. The Soviets, exerting
iron-clad control over all channels of news
and information, are able to announce only
their successes and keep the veil forever
drawn across what failures they have ex-
perienced. They tell only what they want
to tell. Indeed some authorities are doubt
full if they actually did put an astronaut
into orbit There is no conclusive proof of
this available to us or the other free ma
tions.
In any event, this country's work in the
field of missiles and rockets is covered
completely by the press, radio and tele-
vision. If things go wrong, the whole world
knows it. If things go right, the whole
world knows it. That's sample of what
freedom means.

A WEAK DEFENSE

Rallying to the defense of the Kennedy
Administration on the tractors-for-prison
ers deal, Senator Hubert Humphrey, of
Minnesota, Democrat, and Edward r..
Murrow, a government office holder at
the moment, are now telling us that the
whole thing is morally sound.
Humphrey and Murrow have gotten off
to late start-after the horse has escaped
in fact-but they are trying to bail the
President and all those connected with the
tractors deal out of a poor situation.
President Kennedy, motivated by the
best intentions, took up the tractors-for
prisoners deal too quickly. He got into it
before he realized all of the implications
involved and it is to be regretted.
He is in too far to get out, however
and even though he has recently done his
best to disassociate the government with
the nefarious swap, the government is
nevertheless inevitably connected with it
since the President of the United States
helped arrange the whole thing and since
he has personally backed the project.
In these days of fast politics, once a
position is taken, there is seldom any back
ing down. The President went feet for
ward into the tractors deal and there
is no turning back That would be to admit
a mistake had been committed.

THE DO-IT HIMSELF BILL


and agriculture menu now before Congress
It's strictly a la carte. The ingredients
were stirred up by President Kennedy. The
chef is Agriculture Secretary Orville Free
man. The result is the doggonedest stew
ever laid on a farmers table.
This omnibus farm bill CHR. 800 and
S. 1643) would give Mr.. Freeman the auth
ority to formulate and implement produc-
ton and marketing controls on every ag-
ricultural commodity produced in the Uni
ted States-some $50 different itemsl
The bill authorizes the Secretary to ex-
tend the application of marketing quotas
and orders, acreage allotments, direct sub
sides, price supports and surplus disposal.
Here's how the farm plan would work
Programs developed by Secretary Free
man and Freeman-appointed farmer advis-
DRY committees would be outlined to Con-
greSS. If not vetoed within so days the
programs then would be offered for vote
by selected growers and would become
law if approved by two thirds of those
voting.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton had this to say to the House Agricul-
ture Committee:
little 1 (of H.R. 64OO) is a bid to con-
centrate unprecedented power over the DIES
tiny of American agriculture i'm the hands
of the Secretary of Agriculture and the
1T is incredible to us that the Con-
gress would abdicate to any official of the
Executive Branch your constitutional pre-
negative to develop legislative policy
Once a legislative body abjectly surren-
ders power to the executive branch of
government, it seldom regains it.
Enough said
MAN THE MASTER OF HIMSELF
The individual, cropping to express per-
sonality through life, is prone to grapple
with far reaching problems of national
scope and to seek some magical formula to
bring mankind the blessings that most of
us feel are possible, but not actually at
hand.
Human beings, blessed with a good
earth, have made mess of many things.
However, viewed from any distant peak of
the past, the present records unmistakable
gains, and the natural belief is that the
future, compared to the era in which we
live, will show similar advances.
Men and women, caught in vast sweeps
of tremendous power that rule their &C.
onomic, social and national existence. some
times tremble over the forces that confront
them, forgetting that these /oppressors are
man made. The human beings that loosed
them on world have the power to curb
them if they will but use the intelligence
and the self-control that has gone into the
markings of the race and its habitat.
The reader of this article has a very
definite role to play in all the drama that
makes up human life. The part may be
small, insofar as history is concerned, but
large in its effect upon other human be-
ings. Every man and woman must attempt
the mastery of his or her own nature, and
the perfect translation of his or her per-
sonality through living in the midst of 9TH
er people and facing difficulties that are
inherent in the imperfection of human be-
ings
