Americans Stand Straight; They
Don't CraWl-DoeS the world think
that Americans are afraid of nu-
clear war ana death? Does the
world think that Americans are
towards? The answer-loud and
clcar-is reflected in the returns
from our QUESTIONABLE Americans
want peace, of course, but not
peace at any price. The old say
ing, I'D rather be a live coward
than dead hero" has never APP
piled TO true Americans. Is the life
off a coward worth living?) Ameri-
cans are not afraid. But they are
Worried-Worried about weakness.
II seems to them that there is too
much desire to make deals and not
enough insistence that the other
side do the petitioning. Too much
whispering of secret surrenderings.
Too much appeasement Too much
trust in the Enthusiastically. Ours is
the only nation that has always
given, not taken, and we feel that
this should allow us certain i'm
portant rights. The American peo-
pie are willing to risk their lives if
need be to enforce those rights
of decency and honor and freedom.
Our recent poll reaffirms the
strength of character and the cour-
age of the people. They stand
straight. They do not crawl. Our
poll showed that about $50 of the
people do not want us to make
any further concessions to the
enemy. The people themselves
have never been weak. Whenever
our Government has courageouSly
stood up for our nations right in
the world, there has been heart
cning wave of pride and enthusiast
tic support.
Moon-Race Cost: Pros and Cons
How does one assess the worth
to a nation of an expensive and
demanding effort whose forseeable
rewards are largely intangible?
This is the essential question in
the continuing debate on whether
il is wise for the United States to
push its program to put men on
the moon at the present level of
intensity and cost With the United
States poised, so to speak, in the
vestibule of interplanetary space
and basking in the afterglow of
the highly successful Mercury
flights, the debate is renewed with
emphasis on basic values.
For one thing, it is hard to justi-
fy the Apollo moon program to
any great extent in terms of sci
entific research. 1t is difficult to
Justify the tremendous expenditure
on the grounds Of either industrial
or military advantage. DR.. j. G.
Warner, President of Carnegie In
stitute of Technology, describes
the Administration space program
as vain, naive, silly, and danger

pital as soon as the leg or back
starts acting up. Hospitals would be
inundated with patients and free
leaders and overworked hospital
staffs. More funds, more hospitals
would be needed.
Some 529f of those over 65 have
hospital insurance. and the figure
is growing. Many States are NOV
ing to adopt the Kerr-Mills plan
which provides wide medical aid
to those who need it and can't
pay Last month, in Maryland,
there were 14,347 aged persons re-
ceiving medical assistance under
the Kerr-Mills program. Why
should every American be sub
iectd to a socialistic solution TO
problem which is already solving
itself? Could the answer be that
the Administration is trying to
convince the people that without
Washington intervention Amer
cans would not provide for the
future? Under the Big-Brother So
cialistic plan, more and more is
taken from mans paycheck and
less and less of mans own earn
ings does he spend himself.
Presidents Power Curbed BY
Congress-The Administration SUI
fered a sharp setback when the
House of Representatives domi-
mated by the Presidents own party,
voted last week to limit the Presi-
dents authority in recognizing the
Executive branch. In extending for
two more years Presidential au-
thority to reorganize Government
agencies, as recommended by the
Herbert Hoover Commission, the
House voted, 227 to ia, to with
draw Presidential power to set up
new Cabinet-level departments.
Only once has the Reorganization
Act been used to actually estab-
lish a Cabinet-level department
the Department of Health, Educa-
ton, and Welfare, set up by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Is Congress Working?-Some
commentators and columnists who
are uninformed on legislative
processes have minated that so
far this year Congress has not
done very much, or they have
asked, rhetorically, when is Con-
gress going to get down to work."
This is more amusing than an
noying to those who know what's
going on. The size of the job a
Congress does could be likened to
an iceberg: what you see above the
surface is only about 1I100th of
the whole. When a measure reaches
the floor of either House of Con-
greSS, a massive amount of work
has been done on it-research,
hearings, more research, more hear
ings, consultations, and so on. AS
a matter of fact, sometimes after,
say, six months work on pro-
posed measure, the members of
the committee examining the mat
ter decide it would be better not
to present any bill on the subject
to the full Senate or House. Most
of the work of Congress is done
in committee. On the day l am
writing this, | must take part in
two subcommittee meetings and
one full committee meeting which
l consider vitality important to the
citizens of Maryland. Congress is
at work

volved in space exploration for the
scientific or military values to be
ment of national prestige that is
somewhat naive and that requires
such a concentration of our re-
sources in both men and money
that it could seriously ieopardiZe
the Nation't future" 1t is argued
that the United States is spend
ing far too much for the Apollo
program when there are other
pressing needs here on the earth.
This point is being given partic-
ular emphasis now that manned
space-flight costs are approaching
the $4,000 00,000-a-year level. If
Project Apollo and its ambitious
timetable are to be justified, it
must be on grounds more persua-
sive than its forseeable scientific,
industrial or military by-products.
This is where the intangibles
come into the argument. Space
program advocates maintain that
ultimately all exploration in space
will be manned Apollo is thus
seen as the necessary start of a
larger exploration to come in dec
AIDES and centuries ahead. 1t is
also argued thai Project Apollo
is needed to meet Soviet competi-
ton and the larger challenge of
a new frontier. With the capability
of exploring at least the Moon and
Mars within mankind's grasp, it is
asked can men afford to turn aside
from this challenge. Add to this
the apparent determination of the
Soviets to make the most of space
flight, and it is further asked can
the United States neglect to make
major effort right now, par
ticularly when that effort has the
prospect of growing into a general
spaceflight capability with pos
sible military implications and of
developing knowledge that could
be of untold tactical benefits, not
withstanding the fact that the i'm
mediate program will be merely in
laying a foundation for future ac-
complishment.
The answer to the question, "Is
it wise to spend so much to reach
the moon by 1902" depends on
how highly one values such in
tangible rewards and how impor-
tant he feels it is to be first in
realizing them.
The Dormant Threat of "Medi-
care Lying in a Congressional
pigeon-hole is political time
bomb set for election year 1864.
The Administration apparently
thinks it can get some political
mileage by holding up its "Medi-
care" bill now and making its pitch
to the senior citizens in election
year. The Administration should
have learned its lesson in the re-
cent wheat referendum: the Ameri-
can people will not give up basic
principles and freedoms to run
their own lives in exchange fol-
dollars
Americans, generous by nature
would go along with using ta>
money to help destitutes unable
to care for themselves. But gooo
look at the "Medicare" measure
shows that "Medicare" is not that
but a socialistic hoax.
The Mediocre" bill ignores the
four out of five cases that coulc
be treated at home, since it makes
no provision for doctors visits

GILES SUGGESTS REST
BorIick ChongesMind,
Continues as Umpire

CINCINNATI, June II (AP).
Al Barhck, who suddenly quit
early Sunday as a National
League umpire, is coming back
to work.
Warren Giles, National
League president, issued a terse
statement today which said:
II talked with AL Barlick this
morning and the misunder-
standing has been cleared en-
tirely but I asked him to spend
two or three days relaxing with
his family. He will rejoin his
crew at Chicago June 81"
Barlick was at his home in
Springfield, III. He had de-
clined to comment on his sud-
den decision to quit.
1t was in the wee small hours
of yesterday that Barlick called
Fred Fleig. National League
secretary. and said:
II am fed up with the whole
thing and am going to quit and
go home"
That was the only explana-
ton ever given. There was no
word as to the "misunderstand-
ing"
There had been no COM
ment from league headquarters
on the possible cause of his
sudden decision, but Barlick
and other MI umpires long
have been dissatisfied with

had a .210 average with the
Angels.
Burdette, who has a career
record of 1920, is 6-5 for
the season with an ERA of 3.64.
He has won his last five games.
HE figures to help the
Cardinals" the Braves presi-
dent, John McHale, said. But
in keeping with our clubs en-
phasis on youth, we are getting
a young pitcher and a right
handed hitter with potential. !"
Oliver has a .225 average
with six home runs and Is runs
batted in. The Braves have
three other catchers on the
roster. but Oliver also has
played the outfield. Sadowski,
a Highlander, has a 90 record
with Atlanta of the Interna-
tional League.

Hodges stuck to his room all

calls from General Manager
George Selkirk, but nothing
materialized.
If you have been watching
the Senators exclusively on
television and ignoring them
at other times, you have a false

ord this year is one victory and
Is defeats. 4.
