Wasting Education

THERE is nothing wrong with educa-
ton in the United States that could
not be rectified by change in the at
titudes Of those being subjected to it.
This is the opinion of William Graham
Cole, president of the -year-old Lake
Forest College in Illinois, He voiced his
criticism at a conference conducted by
Science Research Associates and assert
ed Americans need to retire the UNI
sound and expensive concept that COL
lege is place where one learns ito get
along with others" and to develop social
contacts and graces.
The high school graduate, moving in
to college today, is torn between the
conflicting appeals of intellectual and
social activity. More important to him
than the acquisition of learning is that
he get the sought-after fraternity bid.
This, said DR.. Cole, is an extraordinarily
expensive way to make social advance.
This is a quest for skill which could be
learned lot more cheaply working in a
factory or gas station.
DR.. Cole proposes that colleges call
for drastic curtailment of extracur-
ricular activities and demand a greater
dedication on the part Of the under
graduate The cultivated mind, he be-
lieves, will seek its own level in the
world and does not need to be taught
the social graces.

year-old seems set apart. His
courage and his comprehension
of issues have made a growing
impression in Washington. He is
70 pop-off. Rather, he is gain
ing the reputation Of being
"solid."
What they all have III COM
mon, beside their adherence
to Constitutional government. is
membership in the Republican
party. To a lifelong Democrat,
the fact that there are no in
cumbent freshman Democrats
who equate their beliefs with
those of their fathers is sadden-
ing. The Democratic party Of
the South seems to be dying at
the roots. More likely, it is
undergoing a metamorphosiS, it
is changing into the National
Democratic party and that is a
different thing entirely.
Of course, the Byrds, the
Tucks, the Abbitts and the Rob-
ertsons, the likes Of them still
reflect Constitutional thinking.
But one looks in vain for a
freshman Democratic member
Of Congress whose score rates
with those whose allegiance is
to the Republican party. Per-
hapS there is a meaning to be
read into that.

Letter To Editor
2, ras es Taboo
By Govt. Censors

Editor of Herald:
The press services tell US that
the Pentagon has finally form
ulated its policy regarding
speeches by the military. Con-
trary to policies which preceded
Senator Thurmond's inquiry,
speakers will be permitted to
use such expressions as Com
munist challenge, Communist
blackniail' Soviet buster,
and Communist threat.
Speakers will rot, however
and this is the important
point-be permitted the use of
the word victory" in alluding
to the struggle between Com
munism and freedom. Mr.. Arth-
ur Sylvester still objects to ref
erences to slavery under the
Soviet satellite state system.
SUCH phrases are, in Mr.. Syl-
westerns opinion, apt to upset the
world-renowned. finer sensibiliti-
eS of the Russians.
Not any idiot (even one with
a sixth grade education) can
see that We can never-but new
erwin if all we shoot for is a
draw.
I. am beginning to see the
logic in Khrushchev' repeated
utterances of GO existence.
Why shouldn't we co-exist with
Russia if we are financially and
morally bankrupt and the diff
ference between the system of
government we espouse New
Frontier and Russian Comnun-
ism is one TO name only? A
red rose, by any other name,
smells just the same.

Suggestions have been made that
ANGLICAN and Russian aStrOnauts work
together, exchange information, etc.
This is another good reason to give us
doubt of the Russian achievement. We
don't forget that Russian agents obtain
ed American nuclear secrets through
skulduggery. Possibly the same cunning
will try to obtain outer space secrets.
One more thought: Millions agoniZed
over the life of one man in space, who
was taking long chance deliberately,
(however one may see it) while here on
earth automobile accidents were taking
the lives of scores Of people, with no
one becoming even mildly excited. If
time ever comes that Americans will
pay as much attention to curling death
on the highways as they do to other
dangers, some progress may be made
in this direction.

ton privately sought authority from
Congress to sell aluminium, tin and other
raw material from the over 81 billion
stockpile Of strategic materials. Zone
Senator characterized the measure as
the biggest power grab so far by the
power-hungry Administration. 1t would
give the President enormous power over
industry by allowing him to dump on
the market, at any price, any quantity
of excess surplus of such raw materi-
ais" says Human Events CONGRESS-
would have no power to interfere with
any such sales of materials by the Presi-
dent. There is only one restriction: the
President would have to give 30-days
notice of the proposed sale to Congress
and to the Armed Services Committee
of each house."
zone member Of Congress commented
privately: The President with this
authority would not have to dump
stockpile materials to get his way; he
need only to threaten to dump - and
industry would come to heel"
What appeared to us TO be a prac-
teal idea takes on subtle interpreta-
tons by at least some Of those closer to
the situation. This lack of confidence
between Congress and business in the
President and his administra ton may be
the cause of the unusual dip in the stock
market
Mr.. Kennedy should see that conf
dance is restored and soon. Again. as
we see it, the move is the responsibility
of the President, not by words but by
deeds.

feature ALREADY granted under
the Kerr Mills planD And even
disqualification benefits would
come only after the patient HIM
self has been soaked $40 a day
for the first nine days.
The King Anderson bill simply
doesn't m asure up to the
grandiose expectations which its
proponents hold forth.
But the details of benefits are
not the main consideration. The
basic questions are these:
!. Are the American people
ready to have the federal gov
eminent assume another respon-
sibility for their personal well
fare?
2. Are American taxpayers
willing to help finance this adj
dltlonal government spending
program by raising their Social
Security payments to an annual
outlay of S507 (half employer,
half employee by 1868?
3. Are American physicians,
technlclans, and hospital admin
lstrators agreeable to having
the federal government impose
additional standards and regula-
tons upon them?
| a. Is the nation justified in
undertaking a new spending pro-
gram of unlimited scope in the
face OF a national debt now at
the $500 billion mark?
These are questions for the
people, and on what they say
should depend the action of the
politicians.

Double Check

There are so many different
opinions these days as to any
thing you might bring up that it
is hard to arrive at any deter
mined or positive Interpretation
of World affairs all we can
say is it's in the making and
what comes out we hope for the
best.
There is less and less doubt
as to the handling of things by
the President. He is growing in
confidence among the big
heads" and neither business nor
finances are as jittery as it was
under predecessors. Those who
saw 1862 as a trial run and fol-
lowed through to this end find
it stacking up well on the side
Of success. Mr.. Kennedy took
out all the usual prospects of
anything "inflationary" When
he set steel back at a level. He
put this Country forward a long
way when he convinced the
World that he, the President,
was in earnest ant that to him
America was, is, and ALWAYS
will be first. Those of the COP
who would have loved to make
a capital wrecking of this whole
Administration must have felt
bad when they fell all the way
down capitol hill hunting straws
like a pig on a windy day. This
Administration has among many
things given people of all walks
OF life new hope on flu
ture that lies ahead. an
AMERICA we can be proud to
be a part, of.

Congressman Walter Judd's
recent announcement he will not
seek reelection brings to a
close. one hopes, the mournfm
list of such announcements.
Before the Minnesotan told his
district committee he planned to
quit, the same word had come
from Michigan's Clare Hoffman.
from Ohio's Gordon Scherer and
from Noah Mason of Illinois.
These four members of The
House, coupled with Senator
John Butler, of Maryland. form
a quintet the Conservative cause
can i'll afford to lose. Every one,
of them has been a rock.
Still, there is nothing startling
in any of the announcements.
Hoffman and Mason are in
their eighties; and Butler and
Judd are touching the normal
retirement age, IS. Only in the
case of Scherer can a quizzical
brow be raised. He is IS.
Congressman Scherer gives as
his reason the needs of his
family. And a person can under
stand that.
Yet. when one looks back
over the years Of patriotic serv-
ice this pit bull has rendered
his country, one wonders if that
is the whole Of it. AS a member
of The House Committee on I'm
American Activities Scherer has
torn into the Communists. He
has given no quarter and none
has been given him. He has
been at it, hammer and tongs,
for 10 full years and a man can
take but so much.
All there is to do as it con-
Germs these designations is to ex-
press regret. they are going
and, good men that they are
they will be missed, badly.
If it were not for the new
crop Of Conservatives. elected
in 1860, and were it not for the
high promise 1862 holds, there
would be reason for despair.
AS it is, there is not. Indeed
on balance, the probabilities
are. when Congress convenes
for the first session of it's 88tf
meeting. in January, 1868, Con
sentative representation will be
at its highest mark in many
years.
What is most notable about
the freshmen now in harness is
the exquisite knowledge they
possess and their absolute sup

"Medicare" Bill Welfare

It S high time to puncture the
hot-air balloon which the adj
mlnlstration has blown up out of
all proportions in the name Of
medical care for the aged"
Skillful propagandists have
sought to persuade the American
people that only through passage
OF the King-Anderson bill can
aged persons be provided with
needed health services. At the
same time, these publicists have
avoided any real analysis of the
comparable benefits offered by
the proposed bill and by the ex-
listing Kerr-Mills act Of 1850
At this very moment. A
state OF the union can join hands
with the federal government I'M
der the Kerr-Mills act and pro-
vide the health care needed by
aged persons who cannot pro
vide for themselves. More than
80 states already have entered
into such working arrangement
with the federal government.
But instead of trying to i'm
prove upon the Mills act in
whatever deficiencies it may
have, the King-Anderson pro
ponents are seeking to introduce
an entirely new concept of fl
nancing "medicare." And caught
up in the agitation are spurious
appeals to the politically potent
senior citizens of the United
States, and to many junior Cit
zens who hope to escape per
sonal responsibility for the medi
cal welfare of their aged rela
tives.
Instead of striving to provide
medical care on basis Q

The present Kerr-Mills &C

treatment, services and hos
pitalization to persons over s.
who actually need such care ant
who are unable to foot the bills
Furthermore, the Kerr Mill
plan involves a Joint federal
state arrangement for local stan
dards and degrees of assistance
with federal financial help.
On the other hand, the pro
posed King-Anderson bill woule

gram to the existing Social Sc

any such arrangement obviously
would not meet the needs of per

it is inevitable that the King
