Senator j. w. Fulbright
Arkansas Democrat, chairman
of the important Senate For
eign Relations Committee, has
been the subject of snide at
lacks within the past few weeks
as a result of a memorandum
he sent recently to the Defense
Department - a memorandum
which has been deliberately dis
torted by politically inspired
opponents who seem to have
their eyes more on the next
senatorial election in Arkansas
than the issue at hand.
We are glad to see Senator
Fulbright answer these critic,
and call them by their proper
names, right wing radicals
for hat is exactly what they
+ rather than Conservatives
they fancy themselves to be.
Senator Fulbright believes
and we agree, that these right
wing extremists who call them
selves conservatives" should
really be called radicals" be
cause "they fail to distinguish
between democratic social pro-
gress and t~otalitarian commun-
ism, regarding the former as a
step to the latter"
This is a direct answer to
Senator J. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina who recently
argued (as do many MISSISSIPPI
plans, we might add that soci-
alism is a movement toward
communism. There is a con-
siderable difference and we
should all take the trouble to
find out, if We don't know.
Senator Fulbright has un-
justly been accused of trying
to muzzle the military and keep
it from participating in anti
communist meetings, rallies and
discussions with the unacceptable
implication that he is "soft on
communism"
The Senator himself has said
his memorandum's purpose was
mot to silence military Off
cers who choose to express their
own views in public and who
are subject to the discipline of
their superiors and their own
sense of duty and p~ropriety."
Traditionally in this country
the civilian authority and the
military are separated with the
civilian authority taking prece-
dence over the military-to
avoid the possible tyranny of a
military dictatorship.
America has additionally fol-
lowed this course and the highly
publicized memo of Senator
Fulbright did nothing more
than reaffirm that historic, we'll
founded policy.
In a major speech to a joint
meeting of the National War
College and the Industrial Col
lege of the Armed Forces, Sen
ator Fulbright said:
"The appeal of certain ideas
espoused by the radicals of the
right is not difficult to under
stand. To a nation beset by

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland
Aug. 26 CAP) More than 200
families in the community OF
Glenwood, IS miles west OF
Gander, were evacuated last
night in the face of an on
coming forest fire.
A state of emergency was in
effect throughout Newfound-

the battle to stop the raging
fires. They were deployed tc
various fronts scattered within
a 75-mile radius of Gander.
Officials said about 4,00C
persons have been driven from

Premier Joseph Smallwood
asserted in an interview that
most of the Newfoundland
people believe that the IVA is
behind many of the fires" The
IVA is the international Wood
workers of America, which lost
out as bargaining agent fol-
Newfoundland's $4,000 loggers

Commenting on the Small
wood statement, H. Landor
Ladd of Toronto. TWAS east

founded that the premier would
even give lip service to such
an outrageous statement. It is
