ID AGING PONIES is like playing
with electric trains. 1t was de-
signed for the kids, but has been
taken over mostly by their fathers.
The new sport is spreading
rapidly through Pennsylvania, Mary
land and down into Virginia. A new
track will open this spring on the
John J. Mcnamara farm near Philo-
mont, in LOudoun County, Va.
Mr.. Mcnamara, a retired in
dustrialist, saw his first pony race
last fall, and became so interested
in the new sport that he Immediately
bought string of ponies. He now
owns Madonna Racey, fastest trot-
ting Welsh on record, and Mixup, a
Shetland sired by the fastest trot-
ting small pony on record.
Pony racing is a cut-down ver-
sion of regular harness racing,
where fortunes are spent on breed
ing the fastest trotters and PAGERS
in the land.
Featured are the sulkieS and the
colOrful silks and all that goes with
the sport of harness racing. But is is
all in miniature. Ponies range from
pocket-size Shetlands to the larger
Welsh breeds, and the Sulkies have
been designed and built accordingly.
1t is all pure sport. There is no
betting, and so far there has been no
organized breeding program to pro-
duce faster trOtting ponies. There
are no pacing ponies.
Naturally, the larger ponies usu-
Evening star., 1963-04-28

ally trot faster than the pint-SiZe
ones, SO qualifying races are held to
place the contestants in their proper
divisions. A pony must trOt half
mile in minutes, Is seconds to
enter a race. The top division is for
ponies that can trOt half mile in l
minute, So seconds.
Roger A. Scherff, on whose farm
near Frederick the Maryland races
are held, is president of the Mary
land Pony Trotting Association, Inc,
which he helped organize.
Mrs. Scherff says the family got
interested in pony racing first be-
cause of the children. But grown
ups, she says, seem to get bigger
kick out of the sport than the kids.
Bill SwOmley of LewistOwn, Md,
helped design the miniature sulkieS
for the ponies. He got in touch with
a California cart maker, and later
got an Ohio builder interested.
You can pay almost as much as
you want for pony racing outfit.
Sulkies can cost more than $500, or
as little as $50 if you make your own,
as did A. S. Daley of Nokesville, Va.
Mr.. Daley had the wheels, so
the only thing he bought was a six
foot piece of steel pipe. Il borrowed
a welding torch and used that in
making the FRAME" he said.
Usually no admission is charged
at the tracks, but anyone who wants
to can make a donation. Purses
range up to $40, according to the type
Evening star., 1963-04-28

of race. Money for the purses comes
from entry fees and donations.
Pony races are held from spring
into the fall, always on Sunday after
moons. They will begin early next
month at East Berlin, Pa, and grad
ually move down into Maryland and
Virginia. First Pennsylvania race is

A year and a half ago when the
United States Information Agency
admitted under pressure that it
was making color movies of Mrs.
John F. Kennedy's journey
through India and Pakistan, USlA
said the films would be shown only
abroad for the purpose OF further
ing U. S. propaganda.
Now, it turns out, the movies
haven't been shown any place
abroad but have appeared in thea
tiers in this country for the pur~
pose of 'propagandizing the Amer
lean people," according to Rep.
Glenard P. Lipscomb (R-Calif.).
Additionally, the films have been
a big bust financially.
Since this story of "~Jacqueline
Kennedy's Asian Journey" is a
continuing one, we supposed it
should be presented to Jul readers
in chronological fashion.
In March, 1862 when Rep. Ell
ford A. Cederberg R-Mich.) prod
ded Edward r. Murrow, director
of USIA, into admitting the films
were being made even though the
First Lady's tour was being ade-
quately covered by newsmen and
photographers, Murrow said the
contract cost would be only $45,-
SO7.5O. (However, when it was over
total expenses for the project
reached more than $239,000.)
Although originally billed for
exclusive showing overseas, the
films were soon shown to private
groups in this country. Director
Murrow said he was pleased"
with the results, which wasn't sur
prising because if he didn't origi-
nate the idea he authorized the
filming and as such became the
chief witness, judge and jury to
pronounce his handiwork as ex-
cellent. The Senate then passed a
resolution saying, in effect, that
the movies were so good the Amer
lean people should not be deprived
of seeing them.
Somewhere along the line
Comptroller General Joseph
Campbell, who keeps a tight rein
on spending, was told by the US1A
that United Artists planned to take
the two films-one of the India
visit, the other Of the Pakistan tour
The chronicle., 1963-11-21
USIA Propogonizing

and from them produce n 30
minute movie to be shown in this
country and overseas. Because OF
the proposed overseas showings,
Campbell gave his approval as to
the projects legality.
Recently Rep. Lipscomb wrote
Campbell, asking about the legali-
ty in view of the fact there had
been no showing overseas-only in
this country. He suggested that
the USIA contract with United
Artists was designed to overcome
USIA's lack of authority to show
such films in the United States
and was aimed at propagandizing
the American people" He pointed
out, too, that the cost had passed
the 1929, 900 mark despite the
original estimate of $45 1000.
Campbell agreed with Rep.
Lipscomb that while the United
Artists film had been shown X
tensively in the United States, it
has not been exhibited overseas.
Subsequently he notified Murrow
and associates of USIA that the
contract between USIA and Unit
ed Artists was illegal and any 9TH
er contracts of similar nature
would also be outside the law.
Rather significantly, Campbell
said of the contract that the "bene-
fits derived, or which are related
to be derived, from the contract,
insofar as they relate to the for
eign information program, are re-
mote and conjectural and, there
fore, do not support the view hat
the primary purpose of the United
Artists contract was in f~urtherance
of the overseas information pro-
gram
This prompted reporters in
Washington to recall hal not long
ago Murrow told a House appro-
priations subcommittee that the
contract required United Artists
to turn over to USIA any profits
for the agency to use overseas.
However, Murrow testified that
USIA had not received any money
or account from United Artists
and that its profits probably
would not exceed $4,000.
In the meanwhile, the film has
done its propagandizing - but in
this country, not abroad.

The first national conference
to overhaul our archaic bail sys-
tenn will be held in Washing
ton this coming May-and signs
are now mounting rapidly that
out of 1t will come at last re-
form at both the local and fed
eral level Of our cruelty u%nrealis-
tic, outrageously discriminatory,
straggeringly expensive bail pro-
cedures.
The bail system Of the U. S.
always has been a sickening il
lustration of one type of justice
for the rich, another for the
poor. Now it also is being re-
veaIed as a monstrously costly
and unnecessary burden on all
of us, as taxpayers.
Hundreds of millions of dol
lars are wasted each year by
communities across the country
and by the federal government
on Imprisonment Of individuals
simply because they're too poor
to raise bail. In New York
City alone last year 5S,450 per-
sons spent a "brooding, degen-
Grating Its, 1888 DAYS in Jail
while awaiting trial." say Judge
Bernard Botein, Presiding JUS
tice Of the Appellate Division Of
New York's Supreme Court, and
he adds, "Most of those jailed
because Of inability to raise bail
could have been safely releas-
ed" The average cost of each
prisoner is estimated at $6.25
per day, meaning that the cost
lust to this one city runs to
tens of millions a year.
More hundreds of millions
are being wasted on the build
ing Of new and bigger jails to
lodge the rapidly increasing
number Of prisoners detained be

Just since 1850. In New York
City, reports Herbert Sturz, d.
rector of the Manhattan Bail
Project, As per cent OF per-
sons accused Of a crime can't
raise bail when it is set at
S 1000. In Baltimore and st.
Louis rs per cent of accused
persons can't raise bail at any
figure. In Philadelphia so per
cent can't.
Countless more millions are

tFrOm The New York TimeS)
Not many months ago the 1864 race
looked cut-and-dried. A realistic observer
could expect it to be President Ken
nedv against Governor Rockefeller, and
with little doubt about the outcome. To
day everything is up in the air, with
Senator Goldwater th" f-"~~''r"~ for
the COP nomination, and the President
no longer considered such a Shoo-in for
reelection.
To be sure, it could still end up cut
and-dried in one way or another. In
part the surprises of recent months r
Just another manifestation of the ire
pressible genius of American politics;
you can't take anything for granted.
But it seems to use those surprises
also reflect a growing awarenesS that
a change of political direction is pos
sible - a change not merely from the
foreign and domestic course of the past
three years but from the course Of the
past 80 years.
Time for a change was Of course the
theme in 1852. And changes were in
deed made under President Eisenhower.
A more f~orceful foreign policy, tempered
always by restraint, brought the Ko-
e War to end, cleared up several
other sticky spots and may well have
prevented World War III. A valiant eff
fort was made not only to control but
to reduce the soaring Federal expendi-
lures and to check the trend toward
Capitalization Of power; at first the eff
fort wa successful.
Yet as the years went on and Mr..
Eisenhower suffered his illnesses, all
the old preSsures for spending and cen
~traIization kept reasserting themselves.
In the end his Administration left it's
successor a bigger and more costly Fed
eral apparatus than it inherited. The
power trend had been braked, not stop
ped, and the present Administration has
demonstrated how easy it is to step
on the gas again.
Today, if the Goldwater aScendancy
means anything other than personality
appeal, it means that people are re-
spending to the hope that the trend Of
30 years, seemingly SO irreversible, ac-
tually can be halted. That prospect does
not depend on Senator Goldwater as an
individual; he is simply the n who
is articulating the possibility. Any nomi-
nee could, if he and his party wished,
capitalize on this obviously widespread
hope for change without %upheaval.
In point Of political fact, we don't
think any candidate, should he win the
Presidency, would reverse foreign poll
cy, taking a rigid and belligerent stance
toward the Soyiets, risking wal every

other day. What could well be brought to
our foreign policy, however, is more fol-
lo%w-through lacking after the Cuban
crisis, more realistic reaSSeSSment Of
communism, more concern for the ma
tional interests in all foreign affairs.
No more do we think that any PreSi-
dent would diSmantle the welfare state
and reduce the Federal establishment to
the dimensions of 80 years ago. What
he could do is generate a new atmos-
phere, a fresh way of thinking about
the Federal role in the economy and the
relationship of citizen to Government.
The Self-styled liberals - with their
reactionary beliefs in p~erpetually rising
spending and endless deficits, their ar
rogant assumption that Government
knows best - have had their way so
long you might suppose there were no
alternatives. Yet more and more re-
spected and perceptive economists in
the U. S. and the world reject These
assumptions and see perfectly feasible
alternatives.
In their view the main trouble with
the market economy is that the Govern
ment has invaded it so thoroughly,
trying to manage what officialdom is
incompetent to manage. And these
philosophical economists see plainly the
connection with mans liberty; no Socie-
ty can indefinitely remain free if it
permits the central State to grow I'M
checked, Slicing away ever larger Sec
tons of individual choice.
AS it happens, Goldwater is turning
to such men. But any nominee could
present such a philosophy, the most posi-
tive and truly liberal political philosophy
the world has ever known. If elected,
he could begin making the Government
the champion of the individual rather
than Of Federal compulsion.
We have no idea whether the COP
as such is smart enough to grasp the
political potential of change without up
heaval; it hasn't been for most of the
80 years of Federal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. At
least this time the party ought to be
able to hear what millions Of voters are
saying: They want a campaign offering
alternatives instead Of the same old
more of the same.

and religion as irrelevant to ev-
eryday life? Have our relative
richness and our passion for
chronological progress stifled our
concern for the spiritual needs
of man? Are we trying to solve
problems of social justice by ex-
pediency, with an eye to hui
man convenience rather than
the divine will?"
Perhaps the passage in the
bishops statement that will pro-
duce much discussion for a long
time to come is that in which
the American judicial system is
Scrutinized. The bishops said:
Strongly operative among us
is the aspiration to establish JUS
tice. The courts must maintain
vigilance against procedures
which offend this cardinal vir-
tue of the decent society.
"But the people must be vigi-
liant, too, lest the courts, how
ever unconsciouSly and with
whatever lofty intent, annual the
original determination that ours
be a government of laws, not
of men.
"Our courts must see that
the law of the land is so inter-
preted as to be free from I'M
due influence Of particular
schools of thought. 1t has
best served the American tradi-
ton when the law reflects a
community consensus or COM
mon understanding of what is
best to achieve the commands
of justice"
Does this mean that the fire.
quently mentioned radical or
conservative PHILOSOPHERS at
tributed to individual justices
are being criticized? Does it
imply support for the oft-repeat-
ed argument that the courts
must follow the election re-
turns and that the judges must
be swayed by contemporaneouS
emotions? Does it support the
theory that the high court
should, like a national legisla-
ture, be guided by public opin-
ion, rather than be bound by
the literal phrases Of the Con-
stitution itself?

Problem OF 'D~ropouts'

Sity Of making their own deci-
SiOnS.
"The dropout problem" SO
the dissident guidance counsel
lor continued, ''has two salient
phases. There is one group Of
kids who range from average to
excellent in intelligence. They
quit school because they are
bored, or because their parents
don't care, or because they see
chances to 60 to work and earn
money. These kids should be
kept in school by persuasion, if
possible. But if a boy quits
school at the age of sixteen for
a job or decides to 60 into the
armed forces before he has a
diploma, n then discovers
though experience in the real
world that he wants to 60 back
to school for more education,
why should it be considered a
calamity that he dropped out as
a 'teen-ager? His experience
may have been the very thing
he needed to bring him to a
mature comprehension of the
value of an education.
"The second big group Of
dropouts," so the guidance coun-
Sellor went on, consists Of
kids who, in the old days be-
longed to a category that was
never considered to be high
school material. In the effort to
keep such kids in school after
the age of sixteen we now pro-
vide all sorts Of special cours-
eS.
The diplomas they get are
meaningless - save for the fact
that personnel directors in in
dustries tend to accept them at
face value and hence may dis
criminate against intelligent
dropouts who might actually do
a better job If they could only
get themselves hired. The men,
berS of the second group of
dropouts are the low average
The chronicle., 1963-11-21

boys and girls who, from junior
high school years up to the age
Of sixteen, are carried along in
special courses, in shop work
and the like, without ever
getting any real benefits from
the teaching. To them, school
has always been a place for
failure. They break the ma
chimes, they get their hands cut,
and they do a lot Of harm to
the real students by taking up
the teachers time.
Il realize" said the guidance
counsellor, ''that to analyze the
problem is not to solve it. May
be we need some sort Of work
group approach to the situation
you know, a revival Of the con-
Servation corps idea. In any
case, there's no sense in being
preSSured by the government in
to accepting the point Of view
Of the employment agencies.
They want to keep kids in
school just to get them off the
job market. This is the truant
officers way of looking at
things. The routine truant Off
Ger doesn't care whether tn
school is able to do anything for
a kid or not.
"Well, | haven't solved the
problem" concluded the skeptil
cal guidance counsellor. But
you can't push on a string,
and you can't force anybody to
be mature by keeping him
from getting his nose rubbed
in experience"
The chronicle., 1963-11-21

1t was a high school guidance
counsellor speaking on the sub
ject Of school "dropouts." He
had attended a meeting of guild
ance counsellors from all over
the New England area, held in
Hartford, Conn, and he h d
been impressed more by what
he had heard in the corridors
than anything that had bee
said officially.
The official attitude is, of
course, that ''dropouts" are to
be depIored. And the usual an
swer to the problem is that
there ought to be a law" COM
polling all 'teen-agers to re-
main in high school until they
have received diplomas. H 0 W
else, so the official line runs,
will 'teen-agers be rendered cap
able Of holding Jobs in an eco
nomy that requires less n d
less crude muscle power as it
becomes more automated?
This Jumping of all dropouts
into one category" said the dis
sident guidance counsellor, lob
scures all the difficulties. It
keeps people from breaking the
problem down into its compon-
ents. The truth is that it is not
even necessarily a good thing
to keep everybody in school I'M
til the arbitrary age Of sixteen.
Some people only learn to be-
come mature through expert
ence. 1t does no good to force
such boys and girls to remain
in school, which is a place that
perpetuates immaturity by TAX
ing away from kids the neces-

ed by a written constitution and
that it must not be ~circumvented
or superseded or amended by
judicial decision under the guiSe
of an interpretation which
seeks to embody the political
consensus of the moment.
Whether or not one agrees
with all the points made by
the Catholic bishops statement,
it is well worth careful reading
by persons Of all denominations.
