Kennedy'sc Cabinet

In o letter Leon J. Steck
criticizes President elect
Kennedy for appointing to
his Cabinet Mr.. Mcnamara
and Mr.. Dillon, both mem
bers Of the Republican Party.
Mr.. Steck fears that this d.
luton Of the pure stock 9TH
erwise in control Of our Gov
eminent during the next four
years will initiate against
execution Of the policies and
programs Of the Democratic
platform. He alleges, more
over. that these appointments
constitute ''unsound d prac-
tice." but he admits that
precedent for them exists.
Actually the President-elect
once more demonstrated his
political sagacity in adding
these two Republicans to his
stan thereby extending some
thing Of an olive branch to
the vanquished Of the recent
election and demonstrating
that the welfare of our coun-
try transcends pArtisanship.
Good Democrats like Mr..
Steck and myself should ex-
ercise restraint in our criti-
eism Of the leader. II deter
mined to criticize one might
operate in fields Of greater
vulnerability such as nepo-
tism and Mr.. Kennedy's pre-
dilection for Harvard men.
Has he never heard Of Grin

time now to close ranks: let

licans alike, discard our

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT t. f>A, T
A Pentogon Pulpit
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain of the United States Senate

A pulpit In the Pentagonl
That sounds like q strange
place In which to lind a pull
pit but in these challenging
days some of the most potent
prophetic voices are being
heard outside the dim re-
ligious light Of hallowed
sanctuaries. 1
In the year whose calen-
dars are now useless some Of
the most searching religious
prom ou n C q m e nts were
sounded by unordained seers
in what are usually thought
Of as secular publications.
For instance, Dorothy
Thompson seems to be stand
ing back Of her preacher
fathers pulpit as she cries
out to this secular and ma
terialistic generation: r"Woe
unto the nation that de-
stroys its affairs: for new al
tars VIII surely be built to
idols with terrible faces and
bloody hands carrying whips
and swords"
Again and again, during
his eight years as Chief Ex-
ecutive, President Eisenhower
has turned q lectern into q
pulpit and with moving con-
viction he has insisted on the
priority of spiritual verities
ami resources as q para.
mount factor in the fierce
battle raging for the hearts
and minds Of mankind.
The President who is seon
to leave the White House has
ferventiy reminded his coiln-
trymen that the Americas
dream has spiritual roots. He
has declared that our boasted
democracy does not even
make sense" without q
religion deeply felt"
The President Of the
United States Il the Com
manderyin-Chi Of the vast
empire Of the Pentagon where
are fashioned Athe patterns
for mobilizing the material
might OF. the Nation for the
global conflict against the
prineipaHties and powers of
darkness. II might be as
sumed that that mighty ar
senal of the free world would
deal exclusively with de-
mocracy's physical striking
power. The maintenance OF
that power is utterly essential
to the survival of the lnstitu-
tons Of freedom. And 50 one
might expect to wander along
the seemingly endless cor

building without eomin {

dedicated to peace and good
will and the acknowledgment
that all men belong to the

it is reared an altar Of adora-

speak Of the divine fire which
can set ablaZe ordinary hui

buyers bought the cattle.
The Navajo Cattle Growers As
sociation sponsored the Naschitti

Rock. cattle growers sale COM
mitee directed the sale. Members
of the committee were Ben Lynch,
Jr., (Chairman), Leo Denets one,
Dennis Becenti, Dee Etsitty n d
Frank Gishie. The Window Roc k

Navajo Cattle Growers Associa-
tion.
The buyers drafts were depos-
tied in the Cattle Association ac-
count in the Merchants Bank and
the association officers signed the
checks made out to the Navajo cat
tlemen. Because of this system and
able assistance from the Holbrook

sisted with the bookkeeping, it was
pos sible to pay all cattlemen at
Window Rock by 400 Pm. on the
day of the sale.

Chinle Parents Conference
by virginia Hoffman

Chinle--More than 6OOparents,
the majority Navajo, visited Chinle
Public School Thur sday and Friday
afternoon (Oct. 26 and 27) during
parent conference periods.
Report cards went out the pre-
vious week, along with notice that
parents would be welcome to visit
their children's teachers. School
buses provided transportation so
as many parents as possible could
visit school.
'Our school board feels it is
we'll worth it to provide bus trans
portation, "points out Mrs. Kather-
inc Baker, Chinle Elementary
School principal.
81 believe we are the only school
on the reservation that has parent
conferences such as this, although
others seem to be interested. she
adds. Parents ask questions about
various phases of school concern
ing their children.
At least 525 children were re-
presented by parents. School en-
rollment, including elementary and
high school grades, totals $50. Over
400 parents visited the elementary
school, while 212 visited the high
school.
The informal meetings for par
ents and teachers were conducted
on an ''open house basis, with tea
chers and interpreters in their
rooms ready to greet any parents
who visited.
'To help teachers insight and
parents understanding" are two
main benefits of parents confer
ences," Mrs. Baker explains.

where he was awarded an MA. De-
gree in educ alton.
Across the years, DR.. May has
worked closely and effectivelywith

the field of higher education. This
is reflected in the ever increasing
number of Navajo students who are
entering institutions of higher
learning, and through his counsel
ing and guidance are remaining in
school and completing their work
for degrees.
The wealth of Information and
experience he has gained during his
long career, has contributed greatly

velOpment of the Navajo educ atom
al program.

DIR. May is mentioned, we usually
think of him as college professor.
Our Navajo Agency here at Window
Rock will miss such a co-worker

/ EDITORS NOTE: Harry T. Ever
ingham is a national patriotic lead
! er dedicated to nOn-partiSan politi-
cal action to combat Communist
forces within the U. s.
There's an old expression that
freedom is not for the faint
hearted" 1t not only takes courage
to fight for freedom, but political
action in the precincts requires
courage too. Ringing door bells for
a candidate and having doors Slam
med in your face is no job for the
faint-hearted. Nevertheless, that
Job must be done if we are to save
freedom-and pushing doorbells IS
so much easier than pulling trig-
gers.
Unless we do an effective job Of
doorbell ringing at the precinct
level now, we may later be forced
to accept the final alternative of
fighting in the fields or in the
cities, block by block to preserve
our freedom. War is the final step
in politics.
Our patriots and conservatives
may not have to face actual battle
and bloodshed to save their free
dom if they will accept practical
plan for effective political action
now. 1t is a plan for the timid and
for the brave-a plan that has
proven successful by the testing
process. And it will work in any
political district if the patriots
work-that is the final determin-
ing factor.
The objective is to develop eff
fective political strategy to elect a
majority of conservatives to the
next Congress. This could be ac-
! compliShed by achieving victory in
the 60 marginal and near-marginal
districts where left-Wing Congress-
men won in 1860. Here is the situa-
ton as we see it today: the aver
age American citizen has not taken
an active interest in participating
in his party. But the forces that
advocate welfare state socialism
and One World Government have
moved into both parties with
money and with organizations, and
have pushed both parties to the
left. Proof of this may be seen in
the voting records of our Repre-
sentatives and Senators.
Armed with these voting records
speakers can appeal to citizen

groups and enlist their support for
effective political action to elect
a majority of conservatives to Con-
greSS in the next election. But the
action must start now. The immedi-
ate job is to form a conservative
committee in each Congressional
District, made up of members Of
all patriotic organizations and con-
servative individuals, regardless Of
membership in any patriotic group
From these will come leaders,
speakers and workers who will
help to swing the marginal districts
into the conservative ranks.
A steering committee will be
formed that can agree on basic
conservative issues and then screen
candidates to select the one who
can best be nominated and elected
on staunch, conservative, pro-
American platform to combat the
forces of socialism and communism
that are working to destroy this
country.
We must not spend our time
talking TO-. ourselves" on issues
that may sidetrack us from the
important task of organizing the
Congressional District, wards,
townships and precincts along
these lines:
II A record registration.
q Canvassing the precincts to
invite voters into study groups to
learn how socialism in America
will lead to communism.
81 Use these voters as workers
to educate and qualify other voters.
a. To get out the vote of these
conservatives on election day.
s. To challenge the illegal vote.
g. To count the honest vote.
Voters can be won, regardless of
party, once they are convinced that
the opposing candidate will rep
resent special interest factors and
minority groups, rather than rep
resent the will of all the people
in his district.
The professional politicians will
respect the people who will work
the precincts, not for political jobs
or for patronage, but to save their
own freedom, national independ-
ence and opportunity for individu-
al progress and prosperity.
