William S. Whites column
entitled Military 'Gagging'
Quiz Praised" stated that the
Senate's investigation into
the "gagging" of military Of
ficers by civilian superiors is
fulfilling it's early promise
of high public service, and
that three men are primarily
responsible, namely Senators
John Stennis and Leverett
Saltonstall and Secretary of
Defense Robert Mcnamara.
The alleged high public
service" would never even
have arisen had it not been
for efforts of Senator Strom
Thurmond, who was prima-
rily responsible for instigating
the investigation in the first
place, and for that very rea-
son should have been given
honorable mention by Mr..
White.
Mr.. White further states
Happily, only once has this
inquiry got off the track.
This was when committee
staff members - including
one under the personal
charge of Senator Thurmond
of South Carolina - under
took a tasteless cross-exam-

Uncensored Opinions on Military 'MuzzIing

Beall, there is no more pro-
found and binding a loyalty
than that owed to God and
country. Our military men
and, in truth, all citizens are
sworn to uphold and defend
the Constitution. We are not
sworn to uphold and defend
above all a political party, an
administration and its poll
cies per Sc, or the United
Nations Charter, and GER
tainly not the ethos of a
creeping perverted democ-
racy. Any consortium with
a Goddess dictatorship would
be truly the contamination of
treason and the most base
of blasphemy. By all means
let there be a review of the
public speeches of our gen.
erals and admirals. Unhesi-
tatingly strike down the fri
volous, the fatuous, and the
Incorporate. But never,
under any pretext, strike
down those beSpeaking Of
faith. honor, and love of
country. To do so would
mean the betrayal of docu-
ment embodying principles
conceived and projected
through time and space by a
supreme intellect; but put to
words for the benefit of all
mortal beings by the hands
of men and the truest of pa
triot-the authors of the
Constitution of the United
States of America. AS usual,
The Star is to be commended
for objective and unbiased
reporting on this controver-
sial subject. With the above
words goes an element of
risk perhaps, to The Star if
they be printed, and to my
self as a naval officer in
writing them. But, in one
humble opinion, the need to
state them may be urgent.

Glenn and the New Ocean

Already they have begun to name
streets, schools and numbers of newborn
babies after him, and this is a fitting
thing. For Marine Lieutenant Colonel
John H. Glenn, Jr., is an authentic hero
whose magnificent achievement his
triple orbital flight around the earth
yesterday-firmly establishes him as an
immortal in the still-young history of
spatial exploration and exploitation.
Colonel Glenn himself - although
actually sort of Magellan celestially
ctrcumnavigating the globe-has indi-
Gated that he regards all such references
to him as extravaganza in the extreme.
Even so, the fact remains that he has
inspired his countrymen with an enor-
mously dramatic deed that has the
stamp Of true greatness on it-greatness
compounded of high intelligence, lofty
patriotism and quiet, rock-like courage.
That is why President Kennedy has felt
moved to hail him as "the kind Of
This mans valor, Of course, is not
something that he wears ostentatiously
on his sleeve. Still, the American people
have seen it wonderfully and inspira-
tionally displayed in yesterdays historic
prOceedingS-a venture in which vlr-
tually his every heartbeat was televised
or otherwise broadcast to countless mil
lions of anxious viewers and listeners.
Incidentally, but not insignificantly, our
country's completely wide-open report
ing Of the event should tend to shame
the Kremlin into moderating its secre-
tiveness by permitting comparable COW
erage of similar Soviet space shots. Up
to this day, for example, the outside
world has no documented confirmation
of the Gagarin-Titov orbital flights
claimed by Moscow last year.
However, despite this Soviet furtive-
ness, our experts are generally agreed
though some of them frankly admit that
there is room for skepticisnl-that those
flights actually took place. Presumably
that is one reason why the President,
in commenting on the Glenn triumph,
has declared that the United States still
has "a long way to go" (this does not
apply to military ballistic missiles) to
develop rockets having as much thrust
power as those now available to the
Russians for lifting heavy payloads into
the high heavens.
In any case, as Mr. Kennedy has put
it, space is "the new ocean" and the
United States must sail on it and make
sure that we become second to none
there. Colonel Glenn's feat, after long
weeks of disappointments and setbacks,
serves as striking reminder that we
are still very much in the race. He and
his fellow astronauts, together with the
Mercury Project as a whole, merit the
thanks of the Nation His success means
that we now are beginning to move, at
quickened pace, toward lunar explora-
ton and interplanetary travel far be-
You'd. Mans world is no longer confined
to this little earth.

A BOOK FOR TODAY
By DONALD MINTZ
Biography of Revolutionary Figure

and had found them effective
in preventing enforcement OF
the act and in obtaining it's
repeal"
Warren became one Of the
m IS t i'm portant Radical
propagandists, a writer with a
flair for bellicose rhetoric and
the rather frequent sins Of
omission and commission that
are so helpful to would-be
molders of public opinion.
IN THIS FACET of War;
ren's activities we encounter
one of the difficulties of Prof.
Cary's book. There seems lit
tie question that during part
of his political career, War
rem was at least as much
demagogue as physician,
politician, patriot" One has
the feeling that his activity
in this dangerous area pro-
ceeded as much from pleasure
as from the recognition of
the demands of higher neces-
sity.
But as one reads on the
feeling eVaporates to be re-
placed by the notion that
the Warren Of l774 and
ITS was a far bigger man
than the Warren of 1865.
Yet Prof. Cary does not go
into this; the reader senses
the point of view changing
without explanation.
Warren left no personal
papers; his testament to pos
terity consisted entirely Of
his political writing and &C
tivity. Prof. Cary has ac-
cordingly had to be cautious
in dealing with his subject
as a living, feeling man. But
it may well be that he has
been too careful.
On the other hand, he
has been very bold in identi-
flying Warren's writings,
many of which were pub
lished under pseudonyms
which have not been closely
studied or in committee
documents which were
probably written by one man
with the advice Of others.
If he is correct, the Suffolk
Resolves were largely War;
ren's work, work which
says Prof. Cary, compares
favorably with the Declara-
ton of Independence" and
whose preamble Is as ex-
citing as Jefferson's great
state paper"
Warren was not technically
a founding father" he died
too soon for that. But he de-
manded both the independ-
ence and the unity of the
colonies we'll before public
opinion was prepared for
either, and he gave his life
in a Revolutionary engage
ment. 1t is good to have q
modern biography Of him.

Prophet of Doom

During Mr.. kennedy'S
campaigning for the presi-
dency he promised the peo-
pie many things. Over a year
has elapsed since he moved
into the White House and he
has done nothing but make
more promises. However, the
one thing he has made very
clear to us is that conditions
are going to be tough and we
must tighten our belts.
Thirty years ago these
identical remarks were made
by another millionaire, Har-
vard-bred, socialistic BRAIN
truster and what a mess he
got us into. Nish Showers.

THE PASSING SCENE
By WILLIAM S. WHITE
Our Cuban Chickens at Roost

Some unpleasant chickens
are coming home to roost for
this Government as 1t solicits
the cooperation of its West
ern Allies in trying to cut off
all Free World trade in war
materials to Castro Com
munist Cuba.
All but aloud. the Allies are
retorting: "And how long has
it been, Uncle U. s. of A..
since you have given us much
Cooperation in the United
Nations on any issue involv-
ing our arguments with the
ex-colonial countries in At
RIGA and Asia?"
Secretary of State Dean
Rusk won a qualified victory
in the recent conference Of
Latin American nations in
Uruguay. Hemisphere gov
ernments at least agreed to
stop such trade with Castro.
And a thin majority agreed
as we'll to outlaw Cuba from
all the political affairs of
this hemisphere.
The administration now has
the hard task. however, Of
making this semi-embargo
a really effective thing. For
significant shipments Of the
wrong kind are going to Cas-
tro from some European ma
tons allied to us in the North
Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.
These nations, which were
the old holders of colonies in
Africa and Asia, have seen
that alliance as rather a one
way street whenever an Afri-
can or Asian independence"
demand has raised its head
in the United Nations. They
are far from unhappy, there
fore, at this present opportu-
nifty to pull at the American
eagles tail feathers over
Cuba.
Where Europeans Are Wrong
1t is all an incredibly mixed
up affair. Exact and total
justice is hard to find and
even harder precisely to
identify. The Europeans are
clearly wrong in helping in
any way to build up Castro
no matter how justified
their resentment at our prac-
tees in the U. N. on Colo
nialism.
Secretary Rusk is entirely
right in pointing out, as he
is now urgently doing in pri-
vate to foreign diplomats

JOSEPH WARREN, Physi-

JOSEFH WARREN, FnySl-
clan, Politician, Patriot.
BY John Cary. Frontispiece
portrait; $50 PIP. (Univer-
sity of Illinois Press, So
Thomas Hutchinson, q
royal governor of the Massa-
chusetts colony, wrote that
Joseph Warren IF he had
lived bid as fair as any
man to advance himself to
the summit Of political as
well as military affairs and
to become the Cromwell of
North America" But Warren,
who might we'll not have
considered the comparison
with Cromwell as unflatter-
ing as its author intended,
did not live. He fell at the
age Of "a in the Battle Of
Breeds Hill Bunker HilD in
ITS.
In his time, Warren was
considered second only to
Samuel Adams as a leader
of the Liberty Cor RadicaD
Party in Massachusetts. And
since Adams was in Philadel-
phia for the First Continent
tai Congress for the crucial
months prior to the outbreak
Of the Revolution, Warren
was the de tacto leader. In
the confusion and turmoil
of those months, the Liberty
Party and the institutions
it had largely created acted
as instruments of govern
ment, and Warren in turn was
the most important Revolu-
tionary figure in the State.
Yet there is only one full
scale biography of Warren
and 1t is nearly a century
old. The new biography by
John Cary, an assistant pro-
fessor of American thought
and language" at Michigan
State University. fills a dis
tinct gap.
PROF. CARY's book Is
based on-or perhaps is-a
University Of Illinois Ph.D.
dissertation. There are two
kinds of dissertations: those
in which nothing is assumed
and in which countless
sources are cited to prove
that George Washington
existed or that the 18th CEN
tury had 100 years, and those
in which the reader is as
sumed to know everything
except the tiny piece of ter
ritory that the writer pro-
poses to map.
Joseph Warren" belongs
to the second category. The
reader who does not know
some of the details of the
two Massachusetts, charters.
the structure of the Massa-
chusetts General Court, the
Acts of Coercion and the
Stamp Act Congress will find
himself reaching for refer
ence books with discouraging
regularity. Warren's role was
important and a close ex-
animation of it Eliminates
the intimate land not always
edifying) course of Radical
Party politics in Massachu-
sets; in short, the book is
worth the trouble it will
cause many lay readers.
After completing his medi-
cal apprenticeship Warren
rapidly became one of the
outstanding physicians of
Boston. The Stamp Act crisis
of 1765 not only crystallized
the issues between the COL

Thick tomato juice or thin?
If your family likes thick neaty
tomato Juice, you can easily
satisfy their preference, says
+. W. Cooler, associate food
technologist at Virginia Poly
technic Institute.
He says the key to thick mice,
either made at home or at a
commercial cannery, Is the or
der in which the steps Of pre-
paration are carried out. If you
boil large chunks of tomatoes
for several minutes before
strairing, the Juice will be thick.
If you strain before heating, the
juice will be thin.
For thick juice. be sure the
tomatoes are in chunks or
slices when they are heated.
Once strained, the juice can be
either canned or frozen. The
prelim airy steps Of sorting,
trimming, and washing are
the same as usual for any tom
alto Juice. Slice OF quarter the
tomatoes into large kettle,
| bring them to a boil, and keep
them at a boiling temperature
with stirring for three to five
minutes. depending on the size
Of the chopped tomatoes. With
larger chunks. boil the maxi
mum time. After boiling. the
chunks will soften and the pulp
can be strained through a col
ander.
Some people prefer to re-
move the core before boiling
claiming that this improves the
flavor Of the juice. Add salt to
taste, or omit it if you prefer.
Then bring the juice back to boil
ing before canning. and fill the
hot containers to within three
Fights inch of the top. Process
jars or cans by the usual pro-
cedure.
To freeze. cool the strained
juice as quickly as possible and
allow plenty Of headspace when
filling the containers. If you use
glass jars, fill them only three
fourths full. Otherwise, you may
have freezing breakage.
