THE ANCIENT GREEKS

THE ANCIENT GREEKS.
An Introduction to Their
Life and Thought. BY M. I.
Finley. (Illus. TT pp. vik-
ing Press; So
Open M. /. Finley's 1.-THE
Ancient Greeks" at random.
1t is virtually certain that
something interesting will
appear: 1.-THE questions
which exercised the philoso-
pliers. Of all schools and
tendencies, were how man
should best come to terms
with the unchanging condi-
tons that bound human life,
not only with the superna-
tural but also with existence
IN q community imam being
by nature gregarious) and
with harsh material circum-
stances (there being no con-
ception Of continuous tech
biological progress); how to
live happily: how to deter
mine the correct values and
norms, and then how to
bring them into practice. The
emphasis was almost exclu-
sively on this life, further
more. Even Plato, strongly
influenced as he was by Py-
thagoreanism and perhaps by
the religious movement
known as Orphism, obsessed
as he was with the soul,
in his practical ethics was
fundamentally earthhound. I"
Or this on the origin of
Greek science: "What~is the
world? What Is man2 These
were not new questions. But
previously the answers were
mythical: they were stories,
often with O genealogical
quality or favour. Earth
gave birth to the sky. Zeus,
Poseidon and Hades were
three brothers who over
threw the Titans and divided
the universe among them
selves into three realms.
Man was created. Such
mythical answers are world
wide In one form or another,
and their quality as explana-
ton is always essentially
the same. Myth Is specific
and concrete, explaining
both natural and human
phenomena by reference To
particular supernatural
events or actions, In them
selves unaccountable. The
Ionian revolution was SIM
ply this. that Thales and his
successors asked generalized
questions and proposed gen.
eral. rational. 'impersonal'
answers. To be sure. they be-
gan by naive speculation, and
such suggestions as The

get US very far. Nevertheless.

On Amendments

-
David Lawrence is correct
In stating that we need q
new amendment to the
United States Constitution,
but 1t should be vastly differ
ent from what he suggests.
Now that the John Birchers,
with enormous funds, are
taking over the sparsely pop
ulated States like Wyoming,
we need an amendment to
Article v that win provide
that after an amendment to
the Constitution has been
proposed by the Congress 1t
shall become q part Of the
Constitution when 1t has been
ratified by legislatures or con-
ventions In States containing
three-fourths Of the total
population Of the Union, ac-
cording to the latest census.
At the time our Federal
Constitution was adopted,
the disparity between the
most populous and the least
pepulous States was nowhere
near as great as it is today.
Urban and suburban areas
are badly underrepresented
in the legislatures Of most
States, and because Of this
they are also undergone
sented In the United States
House Of Representatives.
Everybody knows that they
are underrepresented In the
United States Senate.
FilibuSters in the Senate
and the Rules Committee in
the House have been added
to this Misrepresentation,
with the result that the Pres
ident and the Supreme Court
have had to take part Of the
legislative function from Con-
gress to prevent the ConSti-
ton from becoming hope
lesSy unavoidable.
A second amendment to the
Constitution which would be
very helpful would give the
Vice President Of the United
States exclusive jurisdiction
to reapportion the legisla-
lures of the several States,
including the power to change
the size Of the branches OF
the legislatures. A third
amendment would require
that all State legislatures be
unicameral land the Gov
ernor Of each State would
designate which chamber
would survive). A fourth
amendment would abolish
the poll tax in State elections
(taking up where the Gath
Amendment leaves Off. For
the benefit Of David Law
renee, O fifth amendment
would renew and confirm the
actions Of the Congress In
proposing, and Of the States
in ratifying, the 18th and l4tt
and 18th Amendments. and
would repeal the 10th Amend
ment.
These five suggested amend
ments would bring our Fed
eral Constitution up to date
When urban and suburban
areas are fairly represented
in State legislatures there l;
a good chance that Negroes
will not have to engage In
street demonstrations.

Anti-Dien1

The tragic picture Of a
Buddhist monk cremating
himself as a sacrificial pro-
test against the religious in
tolerance Of Ngo Dinh Diem
should bring us to our senses.
The cause of democracy in
South Wet Nam will be for
ever lost If the United States
continues to support the
dictatorial and repreSsive
Diem. His arrogant refusal to
let the Buddhists fly their
flag over their pagodas Is
only the most recent ir
a long series Of oppressive
measures.
The Wet Cong rebels sur
vive and prosper mainly be-
cause the peasants detest the
Diem government, which Is
honeycombed with graft and
nepotism. We are not, how
ever, faced with the alter
native of supporting Diem
versus a Wet Cong take-over.
American policy makers
should withdraw our military
and financial support Of
Diem and back q coalition
of the democratic elements
Diem has forced into prison
or exile.
Peter Irons.
The brutality and religious
persecution in President
Diem's regime is now d.
rectly before the American
public.
Diem's use Of Catholicism
as a political arm Of his
despotism not only does dis
service to the Catholic
Church. especially In Wet
Nam, but plays into the eager
hands Of the Communists
His attempts to shift the re-
sponsibility for his errors
by accusing Buddhist priests
of being Communists are lud-
ferrous.
Perhaps the greatest trag-
edy Of all is Americas I'M
whiting role in this drama
The use Of modern Mills

mel carriers guarding tl1e

fly the Diem police to squash
the non violent Buddhist
demonstrations can only In
crease the growing contempt
for the American image both
in Wet Nam and throughout
Asia.

 Preceding the tour, a discus sion of. the work in progress will begin at l:30 pm. at the Matanuska Farm, where 21 varieties of peas are being tested.
 At. 3:30 p.m., the group will be conducted through the test plots of seven varieties, locat- ed on the Ralph DeVilbiss farm on Wolverine Creek
 
 Road.
 If time permits, several other farms may be visited to view peas in other stages of growth, Dr. Dearborn said. He added that the schedule may be modified if weather condi- tions hasten maturity beyond the expected rate.
 Two Anchorage business men, Gerald Earp and Jim Booky, have shown consider able interest in starting a vegetable-processing plant in the Matanuska Valley, the first unit of which would process peas for canning.

ATTORNEYS FILE PETITIONERS APPEAL
 COMPLAINT PREPARED FOR INJUNCTION

An appeal has been filed from the determination of the Local Boundary Commission in extending the boundaries of the proposed Captain Coo k borough, Wendell Kay n d Burton Bliss, attorneys for the Matanuska-Susitna petitioners, said this week.
 A complaint has a l S o been prepared (but has not yet been filed) to ask for an injunction against the proposed election of the Captain Cook petition and to require Ronald Cease of the Local Affairs Agency and the Boundary Commission to process the Matanuska-Susitna petition, Bliss said yesterday.
 The suit is being financed by voluntary contributions, the Matanuska-Susitna peti- tioners said. Residents of the western portion of District ' are reported to have contribu- ted over third of the estima- ted cost of the suit, and num- Der of sizeable contributions from Palmer businessmen and individuals have been made. No concerted campaign for funds has yet been made in

operation. Original plant in- vestment will approximate $5,O00,0O0 According to Combs, the plant will move into a l. 900, ,000 barrel capacity as soon as conditions warrant. The president said that 50 men will be employed initially, with an increase to 100 men when the plant reaches the million-bar- rel capacity.
 Officers of the firm indicate that the plant will produce, in addition to cement, rock wool, expanded shale for insulation purposes, and large quantities of limestone to be used for agricultural purposes.
 Emil Usibelli of Fairbanks is a vice-president of the firm.
 In announcing the develop ment, Roloff said, 'The estab- lishment of a cement produc- ton plant in Alaska will mark a major step in our industrial development it will bring Alaska the economic benefits not only of additional employ ment, but will give us the ad- vantage of home-produced ce- ment, and other by-products."
