to America by disregard Of due
process; but it is nonetheless a
useful lesson. Not a few we're
tempted. in the first fury of
shock. to cry: Lynch him"
The act itself, however-the
murder of Lee Oswald-has
caused revulSion at home, has
stirred doubts abroad, has CIV
en- the Communist world a
propaganda fulcrum and has
deprived Americans Of infor-
nation which might have been
of immense value.
Reservoir of Respect
8. The evidence that, despite
everything. there is a great res
ervoir of respect and affection
for America overseas. The i'm
preSSive array of foreign chiefs
of state at the funeral Mon
day-a level of representation
not required by protocol-was
in part a tribute to the man
and in part a salute to the Ma
ton he symbolized.
Day-to-day differences with
friends and neutrals often OBJ
scure these deeper ties; they
have now been brought to the
fore.
8. Other basic truths: That
the balance of power has shift
ed, Of late, in the Free Worlds
favor; that the shield which
protects the West is strong;
that except for Cuba, commu-
nism has made not a single
major advance in IA years,
since the conquest of China
indeed, that in some places the
Soviet tide of empire is reced-
ing; that, in short, although
the hand on the wheel is new,
the ship of state is the same.
Such realizations, this
Thanksgiving, may not erase
the nightmare of the past week,
but they can alter the perspec-
tive in which it is viewed.
Gratitude this year is likely
to be voiced, not with the
PhariSaical hypocrispy which
gives thanks that one is mot as
other men are" but with the
humility of the publican who
recognizes his shortcomings and
is determined to overcome
them. ..
That, as seen here, is the APP
proach of America this
Thanksgiving.

Osteen Hoping to Improve on 1862 Start
Southpaw Thinks
He's Better HurIer

out Of the infield by the In
dians.
Osteen believes he is a better
pitcher this year, and so do the
Senators. He has stopped try
ing to throw the ball by the
hitters," Vernon said, and Os-
teen agrees.
I'm not as conscious Of
strikeouts, I have a better idea
Of what my pitches are going
to do. and I know more about
changing speeds" Claude said.
Beat Roberts
Osteen faced Roberts. 1919
last season, once in 1862 and
beat him. 81, after owning a
one -hitter for 82s innings. The
Orioles touched him for three
two-out singles in the ninth for
one run, but osteen pitched
out of it.
The only other time he start
ed against Baltimore last yean
was during the spell when the
Senators were getting no runs
behind him. Art Quirk-now a
teammate-and Yves Stock cem-
bined for a 80 shutout.
After losing his first five
games last year Claude was
dropped from starting rotation.
But he redeemed himself in an
exhibition game here with Gin
cinnati. the club that signed
him as a l7-year-old and later
traded him to the Senators.
ERA Of 162
He won eight and lost eight
after finally scoring his first
victory. and finished with a 1865
earned-run average. After the
third game, when the Indians
scored six runs off him in the
first inning, his ERA was 1852.
Osteen. who weighed 1863
after yesterdays workout and
maintains that is his ideal
pitching weight, appeared more
concerned with his hitting than
his pitching. He spent about al
half-hour wrapping a golf-cluH
grip around the handle of his
bat. OSteen, who fancies him
self somewhat of a hitter, led
the Senator's pitchers in that
department last year.

Daily Legislative COverage
Starts At Customary Level

Coverage Of the legislature by the daily press
started last week on its customary level.
The st. Paul PIONEER PRESS loaded its re-
port on the opening Of the senate with heavy Sar-
casm designed to make the Liberals look foolish.
What it did was to make the Pioneer PRESS look
foolish
The report was the demand Of the Liberals
to be consulted on committee appointments and to
be represented the committees in proportion to
their strength in the senate-a reasonable demand
that Is however, honored by the Conservative
dominated senate.
The Pioneer PRESS report endeavored to make
it appear that Senator Thuet, voicng the de-
mand for the Liberals did not know what he was
talking about 1t suggested that If he would wait to
see the committee appointments he would have no
ground for protest. How the reporter knew things
about these appointments which members Of the
Senate did not might make an interesting study in
itself. But now the appointments are out, and we
can check the insinuations of the Pioneer PRESS
against the fact
The fact is that there AL committee ap-
pointments On the basis Of its relative strength In
the Senate, the Liberal group would have been
given 151 Of these. Instead, they received 1916
short. Moreover they were not consulted the
appointments.
This is nothing new, of course. In fact the
Conservatives this year have probably been more
fair in their treatment Of the opposition than in
