Precocious Patriot

In view Of current concern
over the John Birch Society,
I think your readers will be
interested in what one Of the
younger set thinks. The fol-
lowing was handed in by one
OF my fourth grade girls (in
response to an assignment
that each member of the
class write a constitution for
some organization of their
choosing:
Constitution of the Pro-
America Association for
Youth.
Article /
This is an association
against communism and sin.
We are for America because
we live in America and be-
lieve in it.
Article 2
The purpose of this as
Sociation Is to wake UP young
people of America to fight
communism. Also to lead
people to become patriots and
to be ready to die for their
country if necessary.
Article 3
Identification must be
given in order to join. Amer
lean citizens can enter only
between the ages of 7 and
l3. Secret Communists who
might attempt to join the
association will be denied ad-
mission and if found out to
be one later will be kicked
out.
Article 4
When you become con-
cerned about your country
and have a desire to do some
thing to protect it, you will
have a golden opportunity
to join with this association.
Article 5
1T is important to know
what is going on in your
country because sofneday you
may have to go to war and
not know what it is all
about"
Should nip this thing il
the bud?

To Arms, Cubonsr

Speaking from. New York City,
Cuba'S recently established National
Revolutionary Council has given voice to
an eloquent appeal for the overthrow
of Premier Fidel Castro and his pro-
Communist tyranny in Havana. Ger
tainly, coupled with reports indicating
that Cuban guerrillas may soon begin
to exert mounting military pressure
against him at numerous scattered
points of invasion, the appeal leaves
little room for doubt that he must now
reckon with potentially very formi-
dable force of rebellion implacably
intent upon toppling him-and with
good reason.
Thus, as promulgated by DR.. Jose
Miro Cardona, who is head of the new
Revolutionary Council, the appeal, which
has been issued primarily to encourage
a general uprising in Cuba, has this to
say of the bearded Fidel and his moi
some Dictatorship To-day, all the
powers of the state have been con-
centrated in the hands of the most
inSolent demagogue ever known in
America; mockery has been made of
justice; liberty has been abolished; the
country has been ruined; the bleeding
nation has been delivered to voraciouS
Russia, and the rulers have dedicated
themselves to preachmentS Of hatred
and determination"
Further, as the appeal grimly and
quite convincingly declares, "The aim
Of CaStroism is to extend its empire
over all the sister republics. The Com
muniStS, whose capital is Moscow, direct
their best efforts to weaken the inter-
American system which has been, until
today, an inSurmountable barrier to
1.-The Kremlin'S insane ambitions of
world conquest. -. Cuba, our tormented
country, is today Soviet colony.
The sad experience suffered by our flesh
and blood moves us to demand vehe-
mently the moral and material support
of our sister republics in our fight to
eXpel from Cuba the invaders, not only
as an act of hemisphere solidarity, but
to prevent future attack on other
nations of this hemisphere"
Finally, these concluding words Of
the appeal seem to us to be worth
quoting: ITO arms, Cubans! We must
conquer or we shall die choked by
slavery. In the name of God we assure
you all that after the victory, we will
have peace, human solidarity, general
Well-being, and absolute respect for the
dignity of all Cubans without exception.
Duty calls us to the war against the
executionerS of our Cuban brethren.
CubanS! To victory! For democracy!
For the Constitution! For social Justice!
For liberty!" In word, down with the
"inSolent demagogue" and all his
notwithstanding colleagues!
In talking with reporters about this
call to arms, Dr. Miro Cardona, who
served as the Castro regimes first
Premier until he became aware of its
terrible betrayal of the Cuban people,
has been at pains to emphasize that the
overthrow of the Havana tyrant must
depend chiefly on revolt within the
country. The point is a highly i'm
portant one. Clearly enough, Cuban pro-
freedom guerrillaS would be iIl-advised
to invade in force unless or until there is
evidence of popular desire to kick out
Fidel and his Red cronieS-which is of
course a consummation devoutly to be
wished, and the sooner the better.

Eichmonn's Trial

At the outset, the attorney for Adolf
Eichmann, on trial in Jerusalem for the
mass murder of European Jews, has
raised questions which have troubled
many people who cannot possibly be
suspected of sympathy for the Gestapo
killer.
These questions run to the kidnap-
ing of Eichmann in Argentina by Israeli
agents, the legitimacy of trying him
under law passed after commission
OF the acts of which he is accused, and
the jurisdictionaI competence of Israel,
which did not exist as a state at the
time of the killings, to bring the de-
fendant to trial. Israeli spokesmen, in
the past, have answered these COM
plants with considerable measure of
plausibility. And there is the further
point, certainly meriting full consider
; alton, that Eichmann richly deserves to
be tried somewhere, and punished if
found guilty after fair trial. Yet no
other state or agency has shown any
desire to bring him to trial. Does it
follow that, rather than try him in
Israel, Eichmann should have been re-
leased? We do not think so.
In any event, the trial has begun
and the essential question now concerns
the fairness or lack of fairness with
which it is conducted. 1t is on this
ground that world opinion will appraise
the quality of Israeli justice.
There are two bases for misgivingS
on this score. One has to do with the
1mpartiality of the three-judge court
which will try the case. One of these
judges, Benjamin Halevi indicated some
time ago that he had Judged the
issue. In view of this, the Israeli Justice
Minister suggested that Judge Halevi
should not serve on the court. But Judge
Halevi is not only serving; he has picked
one Of the two other judges who will
conduct the trial. The second matter
concerns witnesses which Eichmann'S
attorney may wish to call from Ger
many.
A brief prepared last summer for
the American Jewish Congress conceded
that "it will be indispensable to his
[Eichmann'S case that he have free
access to witnesses familiar with the
Nazi hierarchy and chain of command.
And these witnesses are in Germany,
not in Israel" The brief went on to
state, however, that defense witnesses
will be given every opportunity to
testify 4. . and will be provided COM
plete protection against intimidation or
harm"
Now, however, Eichmann's counsel
contends that several witnesses in Ger
many are afraid to come to Israel to
testify because the Israeli government
will not grant them immunity from
prosecution. And the Israeli law under
which Eichmann is being tried makes
it possible to try person twice for the
same offenSe. In other words, Nazis
who have been tried in Germany and
who have served their sentences might,
without guarantee of immunity, be
tried and punished again if they went
to Israel
Thus, there are two grounds for
concern. Is the trial court impartial?
And has Eichmann really been given an
opportunity to call such witnesses as
may be willing to testify in his behalf?
These are matters of substance, as dis
tinguished from legaliSms, and they are
the primary grounds on which the trial,
as 1t unfolds, should be judged.

is largely a matter of habit,
but influenced both by
heredity and environment.
This is the conclusion of
Mrs. Doris Howes Galloway,
chief nutritionist of the
Food and Container Institute
of the Army's Quartermaster
Corps. Her report has just
been published by the STAN
ford Research Institute Of
Menlo Park, Calf.
Given a wide variety Of
unrefined food" she says,
most young animals select a
diet that permits good growth
and apparent health. But
when food is abundant and
active growth ''as ceased, ap-
petite no longer is a reliable
guide of how much or what
to eat for either animal or
man. The persistence of the
food habits Of youth, plus
the adult privilege of alcohol,
is perhaps sufficient to ac-
count for the weight incre-
ment seen in mature years
of declining physical activ-
ity."
Brain Controls Appetite
Fatness, she observes, nearly
always is associated with
psychological problems. Nib
bling is one means of reliev-
ing tension and anxiety and
reactive eating, in persons
less able to endure emo
tional stress, is a relatively
uouS compensatory
mechanism.
Enforced food restriction
in these people," she says,
may result in substitution
OF another outlet, such as ex-
ceSSive smoking. Outward
paSSivity and inactivity are
said to characterize the
obese personality. A fat
man is more likely to be a
spectator than a participant,
to stand only when he can
not Sit"
Nevertheless. she stresses,
underlying all mental con-
trolls of appetite, there is a
b a sic physiological con-
troll mechanism. Appetite is
controlled by a center located
in one Of the oldest evolu-
tionary parts of the brain,
the hypothalamus. Destruc-
ton of one very small spot in
this hypothalamus results IN
overeating and obesity while
destruction of another area
causes a marked decrease in
food intake.

Men at Work

I have just seen that rat
hole down which tax money
traditiona ally has been
poured!
1t was a hole about 2 feet
by 2 feet by 4 feet deep. And
it was dug just behind the
curb before a neighbor's
house.
About two weeks ago, q
truck Of the Department Of
Sanitary Engineering inter-
ested my household because
three men got out-after the
truck had mysteriously stood
for an hour, its engine run
ning-and one man trailed a
sort of mine detector over the
grass beside the curb. Back
and forth he moved while
another probed the ground
with a steel rod. An inSpec-
tors car came by, the men
talked. there was more prob
ing, some of the sod was
thrown back and replaced.
About an hour more passed,
and the truck and the three
men and the inspector in his
car left. The jest in our house
was: 1T was well worth the
time If they found uranium
on our street; we'll all be
rich!"
Last week, two Of the IA
miliar green trucks arrived
with four men. About four
later, the 2 by 2 by 4-foot
hole had been dug, the in
spector had arrived in his car,
some lighted lanterns were
hung on barriers, and the en-
tourage had departed. But
not until after the inspector
and one Of the men had had
a hot argument-at a dis
tance an amusing pantomine
OF pushing. running into the
locked cabin, fist shaking,
and brandishing Of sticks.
The next day, two green
trucks arrived at about 1890
with four men. Sometime
during the morning they re-
placed an old rusty water
meter riser with another,
slightly larger one. A third,
open body truck arrived
about noon. The men con-
ferred. One got into a truck
and read a newspaper, but
this may have been his lunch
hour. Two or three of the
men studied a pink form for
half an hour or so. Then one
of the men cranked up an
air compressor engine on
one of the first tow trucks.
The air was used to operate
one small pneumatic tamp,
with about as much oomph
as a jack-hammer, to pack
the dirt as one man Shov-
eled it into the hole. About
a wheelbarrow load of dirt
couldn't be packed into the
hole, so empty truck No. 8
pulled into place and one
man shoveled the dirt into
it. Sometime before three, at
about which time they all
took their departure, an in
Spector arrived to watch the
count-down and be sure the
aim Of the space ship was for
Mars this time.
Best I can calculate it, from
approximations of time as re-
lated to me by others Of the
family, the cost here was AZ
man-hourS and % truck
hours. including inspectors
and their cars,
Don't think this was a re-
warding experience; I'd rath-
er not have such detailed
knowledge of where my tax
money is going!

million Americans eligible to
vote. 1t compares the vote for
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt in 1886 when he received
27.5 million votes, or "a per
cent of the total 80 million
Americans then eligible to
vote. In 1852. the report con-
tinued, after 16 years of Dem
ocratic rule and liberal poll
cieS and promises of more and
more such policies, the Dem
ocratic candidate received
only 27.3 million votes, al
though the number of eligible
voters had increased by 18
million. The Dunn Survey
commented:
For every vote allegedly
gained by liberal policies, one
Democratic vote was lost.
Nevertheless, Republican
leaoerS have for years justi-
fled their me too policies by
claiming that the voters re-
Sponse to Democratic well
fare socialist benefits has
forced the Republican Party
to embrace such policies and
offer more. But Republican
leaders have never accounted
for and sought the vote of
those who turned away from
the liberal Democratic Party
in the same number as the
number of Democratic votes
allegedly gained by welfare
socialist policies.
The survey went further
still, claiming that the Re
publicans won a presidential
election with and through a
military hero, Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower, in 1852 and that
the Eisenhower administra-
tion had turned liberal"
After eight years of this kind
OF thing, the survey continued,
the Republican candidate for
President, Richard M. Nixon,
received only "a million votes
compared to Mr.. Eisenhower's
33.9 million votes in 1852
although the number of
eligible voters had increased
by nine million. And the
survey contended that "for
any Republican vote gained
by liberal policies, one Re-
publican vote was lost"
Faulty Reasoning
The trouble about this line
OF reasoning is that conserva-
tives take the view that If
those eligible to vote, but who
failed to vote, had gone to
the polls with conservative
Republican candidates - or
even conservative Democratic
candidates-the conservative
candidates for President
would have received many
votes and so been elected.
1t is difficult to sustain such
an argument, or to prove that
it is only the conservatives
who lurk in the bushes on
election day. If Senator Gold
water or another conservative
Republican should be nomi-
mated for President in 1864
and run on a conservative
Republican platform, it might
be possible to come to some
conclusion about these claims.
However, it appears more
probable that if any Repub-
lican defeats Mr.. Kennedy for
a second term it will be be-
cause the country either do
mestically or in a foreign
policy way during the coming
four years has suffered.
In the meantime, it will be
interesting to see whether the
Goldwaters or the Kennedys
and the Baileys are the more
successful in stamping the
conservative sign on the
G. o. P.

THE POLITICAL MILL
A Conservative COP. or Bust
By GOULD LINCOLN

The Goldwater drive to put
the conservative label on the
Republican Party, now NOV
ing at full speed, is equalled
by the Democratic drive to
do the same thing. Mean
while, the more progressive
group in the G. o. P. is doing
its best to keep the party
from being pushed into an
extreme position, either by
the Goldwaters or the Demo-
Gratis. Whether the progress
sive Republicans can keep
their head above water re-
mains to be seen. One thing
appears certain, however.
Should Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
feller be reelected next year,
it's going to be very difficult
to drown the progressive
wing of the Republican Party
in 1864.
Democratic spokesmen in
and out of Congress are try
ing to make the most Of the
fact that the G. o. p, in ma
jority numbers, is opposing
the Kennedy social program
- the Presidents minimum
wage bill and his legislation
to relieve depressed areas,
not to mention his plan to
tie a program for Federal aid
for medical care for the aged
into the Social Security Sys-
tenn. This kind of thing, the
Democrats insist, proves that
the G. o. P. is still putting
property above the human
being, as the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt used to
claim. So they are trying
again to stamp the Republi-
can Party as ultra-conserva-
tive.
Analyzing the Results
The Dunn Survey has just
come up with a numerical
survey which seeks to prove
that liberal policies do not
gain votes" Whether they
gain votes or not, it still is
obvious to the man on the
street that these policies win
elections. Further, the Demo-
cratic Party, which has en-
braced such policies and
damned the G. o. P. as the
party Of the rich and the
conservative, has won six OF
the last eight presidential
elections, and Of the last 16
Congresses (including the
present one) the Republicans
have controlled only two
holding both House and
Senate.
The conservatives in the
Republican Party-the Old
Guard-Say the trouble with
the G. o. P. is that it has not
put forward true blue conserv-
ative candidates for President
and for lesser offices. Many
OF them today would like to
see Senator Barry Goldwater
OF Arizona-their principal
and most able spokesman
nominated for President In
1864. Senator Goldwater is
indeed, much in demand all
over the country as a speaker
but he has still a long way to
go to win a presidential nomi-
nation, as he himself would
be the first to admit. His
aim, as he has said, is to
make conservatism both re-
spectacle and popular. The
Dunn Survey report, already
mentioned, would seem to be
down his alley. This report
points out that President
Kennedy's "a million votes
although the largest number
ever cast for a Democratic
candidate, amounted to only
31.8 per cent of the total 1OT
