BOGUS CHECK
SUSPECT NABBED
BY STORE OWNER

Suspected criminals should not
enter a certain Phoenix liquor
store. For the second time with
in a year, alert eyes have helped
capture bogus check passers who
stopped in Hutt Liquor Store at
24th and E.Washington St.
The owner, Ronald Bookbinder,
3O3 N. Seventh Street, noticed the
res emblance of customer to
the photographs distributed by a
check picture device company.
He asked the suspect towait until
he confirmed a price. Noticing
that the check passer was at
tempting to leave, Bookbinder
drew his pistol out and held Roy
Anders on of 1929 E. Van Buren
until city detectives arrived.
Anders on was identified as the
same man who had passed a bogus
check at the liquor store in Jan
uary.
Store clerk, Dave Bryant had
apprehended another suspect in
a similar manner about six
months ago.

The Greatest Gain

The latest annual report OF the Re-
development Land Agency, as has been
customary for some years now, calls at
tention to the fact that the economy OF
the city will receive substantial boost
when the redevelopment Of the South
west is completed. But the distinction
this time is that there is considerable
amount of progress to report. During
the past year, 16 new buildings were
completed and construction was begun
on II others.
Thus it appears that the huge South
west project, after lying dormant so long,
finally has begun to move. There is little
doubt now that its impetus will pick up
swiftly. AS time goes on, furthermore,
there probably will be tendency to see
the benefits wholly in terms of dollars
and cents. For human memory is short;
already, recollections grow dim OF the
intolerable, almost unspeakably-squa
slums which once prevailed in the South
west Yet 1t is their elimination which
constitutes the greatest gain of all.

Values That Count

It is good to know that the Munich
pal Courts alcoholic rehabilitation pro-
gram saved the Districts taxpayers
more than 100000 in Jail expenses last
year. But in counting the values de-
rived from the program, the most i'm
portant result is not the monetary
saving, but the saving in human misery.
And the report for the past fiscal year
shows better record in terms Of human
derelicts rescued than ever before.
The court reported that 61.2 per
cent of the alcoholics who were chosen
for possible rehabilitation passed the
supreme test of not being rearrested for
drunkenness after receiving aid and
counsel. The aid usually is in the form
of lodging, food or job. The counsel
ing, done in cooperation with Al
coholics Anonymous, is designed to
strengthen the victims hope and de-
termination to conquer the desire for
liquor. AS one example. officials in
charge of the program cited the case Of
a 44-year- old man who had become
familiar figure before the bench and
at the jail by reason of 81 arrests for
intoxication. He stopped drinking when
he joined the program 19 months ago,
has stayed out of Jail and now has
regular job.
With such good record of achieve
ment, it is not surprising that Essex
County, New Jersey, has launched
program patterned after the District
plan and that other communities have
shown interest in 1t.

Having been away from
home I have only Just seen
your story of October IA,
based on an interview with
me. The reporter did a good
job, except that here and
there he jumped to a conclu-
sion. I am not singing him
out for that; after all, it is
q thing we all do now and
then. Your readers may be
interested. however. In the
Qualification and amplifica-
ton Of one Of these points,
in view Of the fact that Mon
golia is up for consideration
for membership in the United
Nations.
1t is wrong to say that
most Of the people are un-
affected by political changes"
and unwarrantable to jump
from this to the conclusion
that With rs per cent Of the
country tending cattle and
more or less inaccessible to
politicians. only the 18 per
cent in the capital Ulan Bator
have influence on the govern
ment."
1t is only in the last five
or six years that it has be-
come compulsory for Mongols
in the rural districts either
to join q cooperative or to
work for a state farm. When
people have had that happen
to them. in so short a time,
you cannot say that they are
either unaffected by political
changes" or more or less
inaccessible to politicians"
The assumption that the
urban population Of Ulan
Bator has an influence on the
government is your reporters.
1t is something I have no way
Of measuring. What I told
your reporter was that I
thought it excessive to have a
population of 100000 in one
city, when the population of
the whole country is less than
one million, but that the
Mongols insisted that this
was a situation they had un-
der control.
AS for the Importance OF
the rural population, there is
an indirect way of measuring
1t. In Mongolia. as in all
Communist controlled coun-
tries, the powers-that-be al
locate an enormous amount
Of time and Of party-organ-
izer manpower to the jobs of
explanation, indoctrination.
and exhortation. in order to
persuade the rural popula-
ton to go along with official
policies. In this they failed,
in the Mongolia of the early
1930s. and the rural economy
took a terrible beating. At
the present time they appear
to be succeeding. The at
mosphere in rural areas (and
in the big city tool, is one Of
economic boom.

He. Was Not Surprised

- Irwin C.. Scarbeck, former second
secretary of the American Embassy in
Warsaw, says he was mot completely
surprised" at his conviction by Dis
trict Court jury on charges of passing
classified data to the Polish secret
police. Nor were those who heard the
testimony against him in court sur
prised. In fact, the only surprising
ASPECT of the trial was that it required
the jury more than IS hours of deliber-
alton to find him guilty.
Y Although Scarbeck did not take the
stand, he, in effect, condemned himself
through his confessions to FBI and
State Department security agents re-
garding his entrapment in love nest"
by Polish police and his subsequent
blackmailing AS result of threats of
exposure he gave confidential informa-
ton to the Communists.
The Scarbeck case is typical Of one
Of the favorite methods Of Soviet agents

secrets. They make practice of probing
for character weaknesses among Amer

Jobs and exploiting those weaknesses If
at all possible. Threats of exposure

because of these methods that quite
logically the Government bars from
sensitive posts persons whose back

BIGGEST Bomb

Mr.. KhruShchevS detonation of the
worlds biggest bomb, estimated by the
Atomic Energy Commission to have un-
leaShed an explosive fury equivalent to
so million tons of INT, not to mention
an unknown quantity of radioactive
fallout, has been followed by the anti
cipated storm of criticism. The deed is
done, however, and the Soviet Premier
can be expected to ignore the criticism
just as he ignored the appeals to re-
frain from testing his weapon. If this
massive blast concludes the current
Russian series Of tests, Mr.. Khrushchev
can sit back and take stock of his
nuclear weapons gains-confident that
the complaints will subside long before
the last of the fallout has settled upon
the unoffending earth.
Even so, one must wonder why he
has chosen to give offense in this fash
ion to those among his neutral admirers
who have not been able heretofore to
find anything in Mr. Khrushchev's per-
formance to complain about. Was this
explosion a terroristic tactic, as some
profess to believe? If so, at whom was it
directed, and who has been terrorized?
Was 1t intended to Insure the security"
Of the Soviet Union in the face Of West
ern war threats" as the Premier claimed
last week? If so, how is this to be recon-
ciled with his boast that Russia had al
ready achieved indisputable superiority
in rockets and nuclear arms?
Answers to questions such as these,
or educated gueSses in lieu Of answers,
must be left to our scientists. They will
be, able to learn something from intel
ligence data and analyses Of the fallout.
Meanwhile, 1t is reasonable to believe
that Mr.. Khrushchev would not have
Shocked" his friends in the neutraliSt
camp unless he had good reason for do
ing so. And we suspect the reason is that
this latest blast, Gaping some 25 earlier
tests In the series, has brought signifi-
can't advance, perhaps even break
through, in Soviet nuclear arms devel-
opment.
~ If this is the case, little will be
gained from attempts to reap propa-
ganda benefit from denunciationS Of Mr..
Khrushchev. For propaganda victory
could prove to be an exceedingly hollow
triumph. We would do much better 10

necessary to maintain our nuclear su-
periority, If, in fact, we are still ahead
For one thing is certain. If we fall be-
hind, If the Kremlin gains decisive
advantage, we will soon find ourselves
in mortal danger. In this respect, as re-
lhctant as one may be to admit it, Mr..
Khrushchev, in brushing aside that in
tangible quantity which we deferentially
call world opinion" may be teaching
most significant lesson. At any rate we
in the United States may be very sure
that world opinion" will be Of no help

ourselves at the mercy of Soviet nuclear
superiority.

Reds First Lady

I have never found myself
in agreement with that silly
old woman Of American COM
munism, Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, but when she told
Khrushchev's Hallowe e n
Party in Moscow that Al
bania's Reds were under
mining the International
solidarity Of the Communist
camp, I could not have
agreed with her more. 1t is
interesting, however, that
this grand old gal of Amer
lean leftist lunacy, who has
devoted a lifetime to serving
the national interest of the
Soviet Union, had the gall to
denounce the Albanian Reds.
The latter have achieved in
their country what Liz and
her cronies have never been
able to accomplish in theirs:
dictatorship over the prole-
tariat. Zigging and tagging
through the years in keep
ing up with the fantastic
dialectical gymnastics of
Moscow, Liz and her fellow
travellers have accomplished
nothing in the United States.
While there IS precious lit
tie for the Albanian Reds to
chuckle over, they must
break out with a Stalinist
snicker or two when national
party failures such as Liz
denounce them.
One can also ponder what
went through the minds of
certain delegates at the ga
thering. especially the Rus
slams, when "our" Elizabeth

to heap abuse on her coun-
try, the United States. 1t

Perhaps it isn't the obscene
words alone that make the

obscene word in the book let
us substitute a synonym from

these synonyms be clean and
proper words, scrubbed to san

Lester L. Kimble,

I register my approval Of
the current drive in Mont
gomery County to clear the
newSStands, bookstores and
libraries of obscene material.
I feel sure that, if the
adults of Montgomery County
really knew what is available
to their youngsters these days
in the area of obscene writ
ings and pictures, they would
rise up in shocked and right
eous anger. For these are not
the naughty" pictures or
the intimate" passages that
teen-agerS of an earlier day
used to sneak a look at. This
material is extremely harm
full in its promotion of SEN
suality, immortality and per-
version. Unfortunately, the
adults Of the community are
not aware of the virulent ma
ture Of this material because,
of course, they don't read it
themselves. Meanwhile, the
youngsters, seeing this filth
openly sold without any pro-
test from the adult world.
can only assume that most
adults like it, too, and the
damage is compounded.
Confusing the situation is
the emotional issue of CEN
SorShip, which has been
raised by a handful of coun-
ty residents. These Jealous
individuals apparently equate
censorship of obscene ma
terial with political or reli-
gious censorship and are con-
vinced that, where the first
is permitted, the other two
will shortly follow. AS for
me, I cannot believe that the
freedom to be obscene is real
ly one of our basic freedoms
or that control of obscenity
in any way threatens our
democratic institutions. Quite
to the contrary. The real
threat lies in the continued,
uncontrolled exploitation and
decentralization of our young
people.
Another emotional argu-
ment advanced against con-
troll is that the adults of the
community would then no
longer be free to read what
ever they wanted and would
lose their freedom of choice:
In short, they would be treat
ed like children. The only
way to avoid this ominous
development, it would seem,
is to treat the children like
adults! Well, there are a
number of things that civil
lied people have learned to
forgo in the presence of chill
dren, and isn't it possible that
the display, vending and en-
joyment of obscene material
should be included in this
category?
AS a people, we have be-
