The outstanding thing about

It Is said in Mr.. Johnson'S

awakening East Is made at
President Kennedy's instiga-

1t has been of incalculable
value to the prestige Of
American democracy in the
free world to demonstrate
the virtues Of freedom to the

ing from bondage. For years
to come the exploit of Alan

not only because of the
bravery Of a man who ven-

of space but for his dedica-

for which he was ready to
risk his life.

this country has 81 satellites

A few days ago this re-
porter sat at lunch with an
other reporter and three lit
tie children ranging in age
from four to nine. The lit
tie ones in unison recited a
simple little blessing when
their food arrived, a non
denominational, fervent
prayer that could as proper
ly be offered by a Moslem or
a Jew, as by any Christian.
They did this in a public
restaurant, quietly enough so
that few seated at tables
nearby would know. They
began together, without sug-
gestion by any adult, and
without t self-consciousness.
Then, like healthy kids any
where at any time they tack
led their meal with enthu-
siasm, albeit with polite
ness.
But that was only the be-
ginning of what seemed to a
well-Seasoned old writer to
be a memorable occasion. A
little while later, when the
small ones had completed

Almost no one n arby,

what caused this reaction
from a veteran newsman
with years of experience in a
world Of cynicism, double

seeking, and intrigues.
The children, in bewilder-
ment, wondered why he
should weep. He reassured
them that they we're not the

that the song they had sung

Exporting the Ideal of Freedom

cotics multiplying? Have
the Russians or Red Chinese
done this to us-or we to
ourselves?
We pay lip service to vot-
ing rights. Is Russia respons-
ible for the fact that so few
Of us exercise the right to
vote?
We take pride in the fact
that we are q religious Ma
ton. We change the pledge
to the flag to insert the
phrase Under God" Cities
boast Of the numbers Of their
churches. Yet, ministers have
been driven from pulpits for
trying to apply C christian
teaching to Americas serious
problem Of racial discrimina-
ton. Churches which support
foreign missions, have been
split by debates over whether
to allow a colored person to
pray in a pew. And, most
ironic Of all, the charge has
been made that it is COM
munism which is behind all
this.
There are almost six mil
lion Americans unemployed,
and a substantial share Of the
more than a million young
people who come to the labor
market in June will not be
able to work. Is it communism
or socialism to try and relieve
this-and other economic ills?
There are many things we
must do. The first would
seem to be to quit kidding
ourselves. We can use some
national discipline. We can
examine our own concepts,
our evaluation of what free
dom means.
Communism is an ever
present danger and challenge.
But we don't have to give up
our liberties to oppose it. We
can do it best by being truly
free-and by exporting,
through our lives and our de-
cisions, the real meaning Of
American freedom.
