alternative. But it is also fair
to demand Of our national
leaders, in the present ad-
ministration and in those ad-
ministrations to come, that
the United States shall never
again be put in the position
of this graceless and needless
kowtowing to "neutralism"
anywhere in the world.
Given an open and firm
stance long ago against
Nehru's hypocrisy, by the
Kennedy administration or
by the Eisenhower admin
stration before it, and we
should not today be faced
with the necessity of humili-

an almost insupportallle

profession of biting the hand
that has fed him.
The justification for this
toadying to Nehru has been

India might otherwise go

legged Showcase Of demo-
cracy in Asia" might in some
other way to be lost. There
never was any valid reason to
suppose this would happen,
for in spite of official midas
bootlicking of international
communism the Indian people
are at heart on the side Of
freedom.
There is now q compelling
necessity to rid this and
future administrations Of the
kind of minds which prefer
the pretentious piety of q
weak Nehru to the honest
candor of a strong Ayub Khar
of Pakistan.
We should never try to
dominate those countries to
which we give assistance. But
equally we should never again
permit any one of them to
dominate our own policies to
the point where our friends
are kicked for their pains and
those who have thwarted our
international purposes are
rewarded for the harm they
have done US.

are beginning to get back
to common sense.
Now we come to two Amer
leans: Mrs. James D. Lewis,
jr., of Forsythe County, N. c.,
was shocked when she
learned her two schooi-age
children needed remedial
reading help. She sought
out a specialist in nearby
Winston Salem and was
amazed at the progress her
children made when intro
duced to the old-fashioned
phonics. She determined to
become q reading specialist
on her own.
In the meantime, Mrs. VIII
liam M. Mitchell, holder of
a masters degree in teach
ing, was frustrated in her
Virginia school. The read
ing methods she had been
told were the most scien-
tific and advanced simply
weren't working. Her chill
dren were to memorize So
words before they were told
the name of a single letter
of those words, and 408 words
were to be -sensed before
the child was introduced to
a vowel. The results were
sad. but the school hierarchy
wouldn't bulge.
When Mrs. Mitchell quit

Wrong Reaction to Hiss Interview

commission to say the same

at the time publicity was
given to the action of a

Mr.. Kennedy has, Of
course. a right to read what
he pleases and to subscribe

Mencken, famous satirist,
used to reply In an interest
ing way to persons who
criticized his writings. He
often did 1t with a courteous
retort Of only four words:
