For Firm Policy

Congratulations on Con-
stantine Browns excellent
and Informative article titled
Europeans Rap Kennedy
Aides"
Having returned recently
from a 55-month stint in
Germany, I can comment on
the authenticity and truth
contained in the report. OBJ
viously, it was written by an
expert, one possessing true
Americanism and devotion
towards informing the citi-
zenS Of this great Nation. 1t
is this manner Of criticism
constructive and sincere
backed by facts, that is urg-
entity needed in our news
papers today. Fortunately, at
least some Americans are in
terested enough to recognize
these facts. More articles
concerning this important
topic are necessary to en-
tighten others who have been
frightened into the belief
that conciliatory measures
such as appeasement in the
political and economic fields,
co-existence and pacifism
will prevent war. Question
able are the motives Of high
ranking aides and policy
makers who strive to influ-
ence the public into believing
that compromise with leaders
Of the Red menace are abso-
Lutte "musts" If we are to live
peacefully.
An unfaltering faith in the
Almighty. a strong moral fl
Der, uncomfortable arm e d
might, a well-informed pub
lie, and leaders with the CUTS
and determination to spit in
the Kremlin's eye as we did
in the Lebanon crisis are the
key factors to insure peace
throughout the world.
This country has proven
itself selfless and willing to
sacrifice for freedom, even
on foreign battle-ground, and
it has not been in vain {.
unless we now fail to take a
hard-nose stand against COM
munism. We can and will
have the backing Of the free
world, as well as the moral
support Of the millions Of
non-communists captive be-
hind the Iron Curtain If we
adopt forceful policies de-
signed towards freedom as
we'll as peace.
I pray that the Command
er-in-Chief exercises his
leadership. intelligence, and
faith in our Nation towards
attainment of this goal.
Arthur E. BrOgley.

For the Birds

An international conference of rep
reSentativeS of IS nations took place in
New York City recently-a not unusual
event in the home Of the United Nations.
OF course; but this one was refreshingly
different. The delegates were assembled
not for discussion Of the bomb, commu-
nism, the Berlin wall or other world
problems affecting peace or war. They
were celebrating on steps that could
or should be taken to save more than
40 species Of birds from threatened
extinction.
1t was brought out that some Amer
lean birds are in graver peril than those
or any other country. DR.. John w. Al
drich, of the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service, reported that more
than dozen species of native birds are
in real danger of joining in oblivion the
ranks of such once-prevalent North
American birds as the passenger pigeon,
the great aux, the Carolina paroquet
and the Labrador duck Chances of
survival Of the gradually vanishing
Everglades kite, the California condor
and Attwater's prairie chicken were
said to be poor
That conservation efforts pay was
indicated by the news that the trumpeter
swan, the Eastern turkey and the Hud-
son godwit are making good comeback.
The much-publicized whooping crane
also is holding its own, if not actually
gaining in numbers.
The delegates were told that while
the ravageS of unlimited hunting no
longer pose a serious threat to scarce
birds, thanks to Federal and State con-
trolls, the development of poisonous
sprays for insects is giving the bird
conServationiStS considerable concern.
The consensus was that the eating of
poisoned insects was factor in the
unexplained death of many birds How
to cope with this threat is a puzzle yet
to be solved. 1t is good to know, how
ever, that so many nations are pooling
their efforts in defense of birdS-and
that some Roadway is being made in
protecting them from the hazards of
civilization.

nation. His supporters believe
he has a good chance for VIC
tory. He represents the I'd
Congressional District, where
about Al per cent Of the Re-
publican vote is located. Mr..
Morrow represents the 1st
District, where So per cent of
the G. o. P. votes reside. Mrs.
Bridges is backed by the
Manchester Union, located in
the LIST District, too, and Sen
ator Murphy is also in the 1St
District. Senator Murphy,
Gov. Powells choice for the
temporary appointment to fill
the Bridges seat, is believed
to have the Governors sup
port in this contest. The Man.
chester Union, which strongly
urged Gov. Powell to appoint
Mrs. Bridges Immediately
after Senator Bridges death,
still is going all out for her.
Also it has centered its edito-
rial attacks particularly on
Congressman Bass.
Two Representatives Compete
Mr.. Morrow, SIS years old, is
completing his 10th term-or
20 years-in the House of
Representatives. An educator
of high standing, he served in
the legislature before his cleo
ton to Congress, where he is
a member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee, and
has served as a member of
the United States delegation
in the United Nations Assem-
bly,. Mr.. Bass, 49 years old. is
completing his fourth term in
the House. He is the son Of
former Gov. Robert P. Bass
Of New Hampshire. Before
coming to Congress, Mr.. Bass
served as air combat intelli-
gence officer with Gen. Chen
nault's 14th Air Force in
China from 1912 through
1945. He was discharged with
the rank of major. He also
saw service in both houses Of
the State legislature.
On the Democratic side of
the fence, at least one candi-
date is in the field for the
senatorial nomination for the
Bridges seat-ThomaS j. Nc
Intyre, an attorney Of La
coma. Mr.. Mcintyre sought
election to the House Of Rep
resentatives eight years ago
but was defeated. The Demo-
Gratis will, Of course. have
their candidates for the two
House seats which are now
held by Mr.. Morrow and Mr..
Bass.
New Hampshire is the third
New England State which
holds particular interest in
the 1862 congressional and
gubernatorial elections. In
Massachusetts,, Ted Kennedy,
the Presidents youngest
brother, is seeking election to
the Senate. In Connecticut,
the race for the Senate which
is being relinquished by Sen
ator Prescott Bush, Repub-
lican, has aroused keen inter-
est. Abraham Ribicoff, who
resigned Thursday from the
Kennedy Cabinet as Secre-
tary of Health, Education and
Welfare, is running for the
Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation, and may win it to-
day. His Republican oppo-
nent will be Rep. Horace
ely-Brown.

Taxes and the Debt

If the President wants to
give business a boost, it is
suggested that he give a
pledge to keep public expen-
ditureS to such a point that
he will not again ask to have
the national debt raised.
AS a business booster,
there is no substitute for
public confidence. Tax re-
auctions which result in
raj sing the national debt
limit will be tax reductions
paid for by borrowed money.
There would be no more JUS
tification for that sort of
thing than there was for the
payment by certain Mary
land savings and loan asso-
Citations of unearned divi-
dendS out Of the money sent
in for investment by their
shareholders.

Job Discrimination

The responses to the re.
cent letter of Wendall A.
Paris must seem rather su-
perficial to the latter, If not
a bit supercilious. It is i'm
possible for them to compre-
bend even If they wished

all do) the depth and breadth
of Mr.. Paris feelings, for
the simple reason that they
are not Negroes, at least, not
by reputation!
The discharge Of white
workers and prejudice against
Jews, though not irrelevant,
pale into puny proportions
when compared to the kind
of thing that young Paris
encountered. Note first that
what he and his father are
protesting is only the denial
of opportunity based on col
or and race. Despite the ever
broadening and promising
trend of improvement along
the color line. race prejudice
in our country is still mas
sive and monstrous.
Mr.. Hewitt would find 1t
more than incredible" to as
certain what kind of jobs Ne
groes in the mass do hold in
and out of Government serv-
ice. Then he might become
curious to find out why they
hold other positions in such
relatively small numbers, if
at all.
There is no danger that in
this instance the son will be-
come convinced that the
white mans world" is
against him and turn, embit-
tered, to crime. The imme-
nent danger is that too many
white persons will dismiss the
complaint of Mr.. Paris with
the trivial treatment that
arises from a one-eyed OBJ
jectivity.

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
Long-Ronge Military Planning

In three years, under the
terms of this contract, the
students have worked in
tranSlating or transliterating
foreign names or ideographs
for maps of various areas Of
Middle Europe, the Pacific,
Asia, Africa and the Middle
East. All is in connection
with the program of the Map
Service for as complete as
possible m apping of the
world. Asia is the subject Of
two current contracts.
Selection of Southern Cali
fornia for the map work was
made because of the univer-
sity's large variegated for
eign stu d ent enrolment.
More than 80 nations are
represented.
An experimental flash
light radar" has been de-
veloped by the Army which
should make possible detec-
ton of enemy movement at
least mile away.
The device is designed for
front line surveillance, is re-
portedly easy to operate and
at more than a mile can
discriminate between a man
walking or merely swinging
his arms. It is about the
size of a portable typewriter
and weighs approximately 10
pounds.
Can Be Carried
1t is designed to be car
ried by individual soldiers in
front line or advanced posi-
tons. Admittedly, it is still
somewhat too heavy and
much too expensive for gen.
eral issue. The cost is be-
tween $500 and $4,000 per
unit, but this can be reduced
greatly by mass production.
The apparatus is capable
of penetrating light foliage,
says a Signal Corps an
nouncement but hardly
would be useful in heavy
jungle. 1t consists Of two
tubes, transistors and a bat
terry good for IL hours Of
continuous operation.
The sensitivity of the set
distinguishes, says the Signal
Corps report, between a tank
and a truck or any other
type of moving vehicle. The
radar sound varies according
to the speed of the approach
ing vehicle.
Development has been car
ried out over about two years
at the Army's signal research
laboratory at Fort Mon
mouth, N. j. 1t is estimated
that another two years will
be required before the device
is ready for adoption for the
Army in general.

THE POLITICAL MILL
New Hompshre's Brisk Races
By GOULD LINCOLN

New Hampshire this year
is experiencing a whirlwind
Of political activity. This
usually Republican State
must elect a Governor, two
United States Senators and
two Congressman. The period
for filing candidates. began
Thursday and closes at 6 pm.
July 26. The death of Senator
Styles Bridges, a political
power In the State for more
than a quarter-century, first
as Governor and then as
Senator. set the stage for all
the excitement. He had been
reelected in 1860 for a fifth
term.
-Four Republicans, includ-
ing his widow, are seeking to
succeed him. Both of New
Hampshire's members Of the
House in Washington, Repre-
sentative Perkins Bass and
Chester E. Morrow, have an
nounced their candidates. for
the nomination. So has in
cumbent Senator Maurice j.
Murphy jr., appointed by
Gov. Wesley Powell to fill
the vacant Bridges seat. The
chain reaction has brought
five or six Republican can
didates for nomination for
Congress in each of the 1st
and I'd Congressional Dis
tricts.
Republican Senator Norris
Cotton, who served several
terms in the House and was
elected Senator in 1854, is
seeking another term. No
one so far has declared
against him, either, Republic
can or Democrat. Gov.
Powell, who at first was be-
lieved a possible contender
for the Bridges seat in the
Senate, has elected to seek
a third term as Governor.
1t Is rumored this stormy
petrol Of New Hampshire
politics may have ideas about
a Republican nomination for
Vice President in 1864. If so,
he might stand a better
chance as Governor.
Gov. Powell, however, Is
not without opposition for
denomination, and will have
Democratic opposition in the
general election in Novem-
Der. John PillSbury, a mem
Der Of the legislature, is ex-
pected to file against him in
the Republican primary for
the gubernatorial nominal
ton. At one time Mr.. Pills
bury was on Senator Bridges
staff in WESTINGHOUSE was
Gov. Powell. He may give
the Governor a race. The
Democrats are talking of
running John w. King, a
Manchester attorney and
minority leader in the legis-
lature, for Governor.
Primary Vote September IL
The primary elections take
place September IL. In the
race for the Republican NOM
nation for the Bridges Sen
ate seat, the candidate who
polls the largest vote will be
the winner. He or she could
easily be a minority selection
with four in the contest.
There is no run-off primary.

candidacy early. has cam

Union Propaganda

During a recent trip to
Central America I visited the
United States Embassy in Ell
Salvador and was much
amazed to find that the
United States Government
as represented by its En-
bassy is providing space for
AFL-CIO propaganda post
ers. These are numerous and
occupy a dominant position,
indeed they are the very first
thing seen by a person en-
tering the Embassy. Among
the exhibits are photographs
of strikes and picket lines
with glowing descriptions in
Spanish of the virtues of
unionism.

my Federal taxes are being
used to support such nom
Government activity as union

Goodwill Appeal

Because Of the generosity
and the dedication Of the
Davis Memorial Goodwill
Guild, in giving us the latest
hot lacquer spray equipment,
our handicapped people have
been able to refurbish and
refinish donated furniture
items so well and so rapidly
that we have currently ex-
hausted our entire stock. We
know that the active help
of our neighbors in the city
and in the suburbs is the one
essential raw material that
we at Goodwill can't get
along without-and we'd like
to ask them to do us a favor.
1t is important for us to re-
ceive, right now, cabinet-type
furniture such as dining room
and bedroom items so that
not only will our handicapped
people be allowed to continue
their training, but equally
important, that these items
may be sold and the income
therefrom be used to pay
their wages. Goodwill en-
ploys over 300 handicapped
men and women and for
most, if not all, their work
at Goodwill represents their
only chance to earn their
own living.
Would you please bring
these facts to the attention
of the already marvelously
generous public Of this area,
so they may search out these
disable surplus items, thus al
lowing themselves to be an
important and integral part
of the training of these
worthy individuals, and in
the allowing Of them to be
self-sustaining and independ-
ent.

neBdrulIlS CIle fLdL1DleT
column for July 5, the body
of literature on stickball,
saluji and slug is quite small.
I think the Rambler should
be complimented on her
splendid contribution and
her daring in attempting to
reduce to simple letters the
beautiful word "Saluji." No
tice that my spelling doesn't
agree with hers. This is be-
cause her source, Wally, is
from the Bronx and I am
from a nearby county called
Manhattan. The regional &C
cents differ.
Manhattan, as you know,
was the earliest settled part
of New York. AS pioneers
cut their way through to re-
mote areas such as the Bronx
and Brooklyn they took with
them much of our folklore.
Changes and simplifications
were made, presumably to
fit the new environment.
For example, the game refer
red to as ring levio" was, in
Manhattan, dignified with an
additional syllable, "ring-a-
levio."
Slug" in Manhattan. was
more often referred to as
boXball. Wally's allusion to
"fins" as passersby interrupt
ed the game clearly estab-
fishes that he came from a
well-settled part of the Bronx
which had paved sidewalks
and a fairly dense population.
The stickball references
brought back many fond
memories. Without dwelling
on them, let me simply note
for the benefit of the unin-
itiated that Wally's use of
sewers" is colloquially &C
curate but could mislead the
student. Actually, the bases
and distances were computed
by spaced manhole covers
usually not sewers but power
company access points. To be
a three sewer man as Wally
was established one as a To-
cal Mickey Mantle. He could
really rap a "spauldeen."
Saluji-on-the-subway was
a dandy sport. The lower
elements of my set had a
variation which might be of
interest. After debarking,
wait until the subway doors
were closed, then reach
through the window and seize
a hat. Allow one car to pass,
then throw the hat through
an open window in the next
car.
