Who OK'd 1t?

In it's editorial, who OK'd
It?" The Star has correctly
characterized Jack Paar'S
antics in Berlin as mischief
making stupidity"
Not so wise or even sensible
is your conclusion that "the
incident, in (your) opinion,
lends eloquent justification to
Secretary McNamara's eff
forts to confine the official
activities of the military to
traditional roles" For only
after voicing that judgment
do you say, IF any reSpon-
sible military commander
gave his sanction to a dem
onstration of military force
in Berlin, for the purpose Of
furnishing atmosphere for a
Paar television show, he is
obviously lacking the judg-
ment that should accompany
his assignment"
Isn't that IF" a big one?
Sad indeed if a military COM
mander was responsible for
what occurred. But your
knowledge when the editorial
was written was evidently no
greater than mine. What If a
civilian higher-up called for
extension of every consider
ation," ETC., to Mr.. Paar?
In a state of ignorance and
with an inquiry presumably
under way, would it not he the
part of wisdom and fairness
not to cite this incident as
support for Secretary McNa-
mara's land Senator Full
bright's) efforts to confine
the official activities of the
military? 1t may that a mill
tary commander was to
blame. But why not wait for
the evidence? Certainly the
fault is not General Walk
er's.)
On this same issue and on
the same day, columnist Will
liam S. White also jumps
into the battle with respect
to Senator Thurmond's Sen
ate Resolution 1911. White
too, transparency attempts
to drive a wedge between
Senator Thurmond, whom he
calls merely decent" and
Senators Russell and Stennis,
who are (for present purposes
at least) decent and respon-
sible. But this is apparently
the time to WOO the support
of Senators Russell and STEM
mis-!
Of course, White begs the
issue when he declares that
Secretary Mcnamara al
ready was finding a quiet
means of keeping officers out
of extremist politics without
in any sense downgrading
their right-and duty-to be
profoundly anti-Communist."
Senator Thurmond has SER
iously questioned Mr.. McNa-
mara's quiet means" calling
it unwarranted censorship
and softness on Communism;
and he is urging an investi-
CATION of the means employed
by the Department of De-
Tense.
It is little consolation to
Senator Thurmond to be
classed with Senator Full
bright as merely decent. In
fact, he may well regard
this as a case of damning
with faint praise.

BONN, Germany. = A
transatlantic Luftha n S a
flight comes direct to Frank
furt, or on to the Bonn-Co-
logne airport. In its ap-
proaches, its banks and turns,
the Rhine River appears be-
low one often, curving sinu-
ously through checker-board
fields, villages and cities.
The rivers of Europe flow
out of the Alps. None has
had more to do with history
than the Rhine. It-and not
your home town Main street
is the worlds busiest traf-
fic artery.
Since long before Caesars
day this great stream has
been the scene of stirring
events in history. 1t has seen
a long roll of warriors strive
along the banks for COM
mand of it. Famous in song
and story, every mile OF it
has its beauties and its leg
ends. One cannot avoid medi-
tation, leaning on a bridge
and looking at this beauti-
full, incredible river and its
dense traffic. Railroads, OF
course, run on each side.
And so do highways. But the
river itself is a story. In one
way or another it has flowed
through all our lives.
Here within sight are six
barge trains. And the Ger
man barge carries many tons.
But they move fast. Look
again. There are a dozen
single barges. They move on,
but now there are others in
view. The vista of the river
is never clear of this busy,
multiplying going and coming
of barges and boats.
The heart of industrial
Germany beats at DuSsel-
dorf. And the Rhine is its
aorta. There are many in
dustrial cities in West Ger
many. But in one way or
another the Rhine flows into
all of them. The Ruhr is the
heart and the river is its
circulatory system.
Is Miles Of Krupp Works
Around Essen the Krupp
works stretch for a distance
of Is miles. In suburban
cities nearby such as Rhein-
hansen, for example, there
are more towering domeS of
blast furnaces and smoke
stacks of fabricating plants.
There are six nations
united in the European Coal
and Steel Authority, with
headquarters in Luxembourg.
Their success brought Great
Britain to knock at the door.
All together, these countries
produce 1913 million tons of
coal. OF this, 118 million
come from the Ruhr mines.
Germany is, in fact, some
what embarrassed. She has
carried out her agreement to
the letter in supplying mem
bers with coal. She has done
so good a job of this that

We are fond of saying that
we are dedicated to univer-
sal education" but our uni
versal education is not nearly
as universal as we may think.
In 1850, 2,278,150 children
entered the fifth grade. In
1858, when high school di-
plomas were handed out,
947,710 Of these children were
missing. And this happens
every year. Nearly one half
of the children who enter
the fifth grade drop out be-
fore they finish high school.
Congress will adjourn with
out having taken any action
on the Presidents aid to ed
ucation programs. And I
want to ask:
What would Congress be
doing if 947,710 acres of po-
tentially rich new ground"
were being eroded each year?
If each year 947,710 young
trees-pine, oak, maple and
elm-were affected by a
blight? Or, if 947,710 lambs,
pigs, calves and chickens were
each year stricken with a Sc
rious deficiency disease?
The answer, of course, is,
everything. This would be
a national calamity. Congress
would be in session day and
night. Experts would be called
in from all over. There would
be hearings, Investigations,
studies and conferences. Huge
sums would be appropriated
to combat these conditions
We can't have, anything hap
pen to our farm lands, our
forests, and our livestock.
Think what this would do to
our economy.
Our children are our rich
est resource. In 10 years
nearly 10 million boys and
girls will have gone out into
the world with undiscovered
talents, with undeveloped
abilities, and with a serious
deficiency in their basic ed
ucation, which will handicap
them as long as they live.
Not all of these children
will become delinquents. But
many of them will. From
1948 to 1858 delinquency in
creased ITS per cent. This
percentage becomes even
more shocking when we con-
slider that the population Of
10 to 17-year-oldS increased
by only IS per cent during
the same period. From 1858
to 1859 juvenile court cases
scared to 773,000, involving
$4,000 children in this age
group, which covers the fifth
grade to high school.
It doesn't make sense for
us to proclaim to the world
that we believe in the worth
and dignity of every individ-
ual, while at the same time
we allow millions of our chill
dren to leave school without
any hope of realizing their
potentialities, or of discover
ing their individual value. A
chapel, designed and built by
prisoners, has just been COM
pleted at the Lorton reforma-
tory. A correspondence course
while in prison produced the
architect. When a model of
the chapel was built in 1856,
it was stated that the archi-
tect's detail of blueprints
probably saved the District

UPPERVuLE, Va. - The
Piedmont Foxhounds' point
to-point, next to last on the
Northern Virginia circuit, will
be held next Saturday across
from the Upperville Horse
Show grounds, on Mrs. A. c.
Randolph'S Salem Farm.
This particular race day has
special appeal for spectators
since it is the only one left
that embodies the original
idea of point-to-point racing
an afternoon open to
landowners and farmers,
absolutely free Of charge d.
during which they could
evaluate what hunter had
come through the winter in
the best shape (barring un-
forseen falls and other
calamities).
An old-timer recalls one Of
the first Piedmont point-to-
points, held many, many
years ago in the Upperville
region. She says, You know,

Volunteer Fire Fighters Save SOldOtna Home

A tWo-bedroom rental h m owned by Bill and Virginia Gibbs was extensively damaged recent ly when hot tar being used in roofing job ignited when being poured into a bucket.
 The house, located in soldotna, back of the Frank Mullen's prop erty on the Kenai River, is rent ed by the Tom Colton family. Tom was busy at his job at Park er's Union Oil Station. Mrs. Col ton, not liking the smell of the tar, had taken the three little girls and had gone visiting.
 H. c. Van Siekel and Du k e D e ering, employees of Leroy Knabb, who had the roofing con- tract, attempted to extinguish the fire with buckets of water carried from the Kenai River. After two trips up and down the bank they realized additional aid was needed.
 Van Sickel went to the Sky Bowl for the fire truck which was taken to the scene of the fire by Al Morrase. Van Sickel, Deering, Gibbs, and Dale Shalin climbed to the roof and hosed down the fire while Morasse ran the bumper. Jim Bush and oth- CTS also assisted in preventing the blaze from spreading to oth- CT parts of the dwelling.
 One of the bedrooms was smok- ing and the ceiling was about to ignite when the fire was ex= tinguished.
 Considerable smoke and water damage to walls and furniture, as well as fire damage to the roof resulted from the accident.
 The building was insured, Mrs. Gibbs said, but monetary extent of damage has not as yet been determined by the insurance ad- justor. Knapp and his roofing company also had insurance cov- craze.

Mines for Gold

Mir. and Mrs. Fred A. Henton, builders and former operators of henton's Lodge (now known as Gampbell's Sportsman's Lodge) at the junction of the Russian and Kenai Rivers, were Soldotna and kenai visitors last week. They were accompanied by Henton's cousin, J. ". slayden, and Mrs. slayden of Tacoma, Wash.
 The Slaydens had just returned from a months tour of II coun- tries in Europe, coming back by SAS plane from Copenhagen. Denmark, and were met in An enorage by the Hentons. T h e cousins had not met in 20 years.
 The Hentons built the lodge i'll f945, before there were roads in to the area, and operated it for II years. The place has changed owners three times since then.
 They now live at Mile 42la on h e eward-Anchorage Highway, where he is engaged in mining fer gold.
 Slayden formerly lived in AL aska when he was a child. His father mined in Dawson in 1898 and packed the boy, then six years old, in over the famous Chilkoot Pass.

This little ditty from The American Way isn't meant for anyone special.
 Sometime when you're feeling import ant, sometime when your ego's in bloom, sometime when you take it for granted you're the best qualified in the room; sometime when you feel that your going would leave an unfillable hole, just follow this simple instruc Ii on and see how it humbles your soul.
 Take a bucket and fill it wi tn wa ter, put your hand in it, up to the wrist. Pull it out--and the hole that's remain ing is asure of how you'll be mi ss- ed. You may splash all you please when you enter, you can stir up the water galore, but stop, and you'll find n, a moment that it looks quite the same as before.
 The moral in this quaint example is do just the best that you can. Be proud of yourself, but remember, THERE'S NO IND ISPENSABLE MAN.

Happy Birthday to Kyle OHLINGER who celebrated his FIRST birthday on October l4th.
 All the Navy Exchange Office was sad to see the departure of Chief NC WICKER, SKC who departed for the Naval Comnunic- ation Station, Friday. Good Luck, Chief.
 The USS TAWAKONI is having Binqo for the benefit of the Honolulu Community Chest and the schedule is elsewhere in the SUN but here is some late informa tion' on the events that scheduled on the same night in connection with the Binqo games. The Club Caribou will have Happy Hour from to 8 before the Bingo. The Club BaYview will have Turkey Dinner special at S1. .OO from to before the Bingo at that Club and the Hamerhead Lodge will feature Chicken in the Basket from to PM for 900 when the Bingo is held there.
 Orchids to those men in X division who have been detailed to do most of the work (often in the cold, and rain) in improving the grounds of the Statio on. The new trees in the Traffic circle, gravel & lanscaping by the Admins tration Building are only two of these projects just con- pleted.
 Weep, and you're called baby; laugh and you're called a fool; yield, and you are called a coward; stand, and you're called mule.
 I'll bet those ladies and their friend who called in an item to Muskie about "drag-racing" past NorPac Hill don t think it so funny if they were ticketed in the recent campaign against speeders the Bayshore Highway. Actually "Nuckie" could care less about such an item. The Marines doing their job and Jack Quinn, Safety Officer says that there has been notice decrease in Auto accidents and that is good news. It means money saved for the government and money saved for Adakians who drive cars.
