Eye On Intelligence

Sen. Eugene ]. Mccarthy has once a.
gain focused the attention Of the Senate

joint Senate-IIouse committee to keep

activities. The proposal, though ana
thema to the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy, has great merit.
This is not to suggest that the ClA's
objections to congressional oversight
are without foundation. 1t is quite true
that intelligence activities are carried
on most effectively in secret. There also
is some danger that Congress, whose re
cord of discretion is far from perfect,
might not prove to be lcak-proof re-
pository Of data about intelligence opel-
ations.
These objections could be dealt with,
however if proper care were taken in

Where Chaos Is Illusion

New York Stock Exchange. Here, high
above the huge trading floor, the un-
initiated eye views a scene bordering on
chaos and even, at times, on bedlam. All
seems to be confusion. Men hurry back
and forth between the kiosks where the
shares of various corporations are
traded. On the far wall vastly magni-
fled ticker tape tells its endless story of
changing prices. An infinity of paper
work goes on and on-and that too, to
the lay eye, has a look of disorder and
purposelessness.
But the fact is that everything is
superbly organized, and the look Of
chaos is illusion. Here, one can say, is
the worlds foremost auction mart. Here
is where the desires and economic opin-
ions Of prospective sellers and prospec-
tive buyers of stock meet, and become
mutually agreed upon transactions.
More important, here is true free
market, in which price is established by
the natural law Of supply and demand
and that alone. And here is the center Of
what has been called peoples capital
ism"-a capitalism in which more than
IL million Americans now directly share
through the ownership Of stocks.

Optimistic Report
On n edicaI EdvcGfion

The American Medical ASSo-
citation has reported significant
advances In three areas of medi-
cal education vital to the future
quality of medical service In this
country.
The l962-63 annual report on
medical education, prepared by
the ANA Council on Medical Edu-
cation and Hospitals, cited the
following developments:
Firm commitments for the
construction of six new medical
schools, bringing to II the total
number now in the planning
stage.
"A 10 per cent increase In
the number of medical school
applicants, the first upturn In
six years.
Evidence Of an enlarging
pool Of potential medical teach
ers.
A major concern Of recent
years has been the adequacy Of
the future supply Of physicians
for a growing population with
increasing expectation for medi-
cal service, the council said.
An increase In the future supply
of physicians is well-docu-
mented necessity and this de-
pends primarily on expansion Of
facilities and an increase in
medical teachers and students,

This Is what have always done
with my turkey. / take a piece
OF cheeSecloth or thin muslin
and dip 1t In melted butter and
lay It gently over the breast
and thighs and I baste through
this.
Now I will tell you about the
wonderful turkey I ate this
Thanksgiving Day at my friend,
Tess's, In Media. It was the
very best turkey have EVER
eaten In my life (and have
eaten many a one). This is how
she did 1t. After stuffing the
bird, she placed 1t In a large,
old-fashioned blue enameled
roaster. She buttered the breast
and thighs generously and COW

lid. She had cooked the giblsts
the day before and chopped them
for the gravy. The broth she had

orator. She basted the bird
about three times by pouring
some of this ice cold broth over.
She believes that the cold broth
helps seal In the juices. When
about half cooked or better, she
removed the lid for the remaind-
er of the cooking period. It was
beautifully brown and tender and
even the white meat was Juicy.
Once when we we're In Vir-
ginia, we had guests from Ohio
for Thanksgiving Day. They pro-
ceedsd to fix the turkey for me
like 1t was done at that home In
Ohio. They made a paste of
flour, butter and broth and
plastered 1t on the turkey, We
did not care for 1t, but we we're
polite and ate It.
Some like to cover the turkey
with aluminium foil and some
like to make a tent for the top,
as shown In the ads. Personally

Just about everyone talks about the
American economy, reads about it, lis
tens to discussions of it. Everyone has a
stake in it-as source of jobs and op-
portunities, and as a supplier of goods
and services in almost infinite variety.
Then, in our day to day lives, we see
it in operation. A shoeshine stand is a
part Of it, and SO is a gigantic factory. It
contains room for every kind of skill, fol
every kind of enterprise from the small
est to the largest.
Back of all this-back Of the stores
and the industrial complexes, the power
plants and the oil refineries, the car
makers and the weavers of fabrics, and
all the rest of the components that make

in large part the corporate system,
whereby numbers of people voluntarily

would have the atmosphere Of

personal contribution. Tolerance
and understanding must start at

Since the fabric Of our moral
lives depends upon our religious
faith and convictions, our first
consideration must be our
church and our relation to it. I
have long urged people to make
their church their second home,

the development of themselves
and their children as is their

of his church simply as a refuge

Letter From Germ any

The following letter was rec
eiYed recently by Rev. F. Doug

ice Father from another active
Field Service Father, Mr..

many:
Dear Friends:
Our hearts have been deeply
confounded and moved when We
heard the awful news Of the
assassination OF your presi-
dent, Mr.. John F. Kennedy.
Let US express our feelings
OF sorrow and sympathy to all
OF you. We did love Mr.. Ken
nedy as you did. We have lost,
both Of US, q great leader to
freedom and peace, a good
friend OF our town, Berlin and
OF our country too. May the
Lord console the Kennedy fam
lily and all people In the world
mourning for the death Of the
great man.
A few hours after this sad
event happened more than
10000 Berlinians walked
silently through the streets
the president had passed six
months ago. They came to
City Hall, where the Lord
Mayor Willie Brandt spoke to
US, consoling and strengthen
Ing. Then the Freedom Bell
rang In the midnight. And a
day later, millions Of candles
were burning ia the windows
OF our houses, remembering
the good friend who had said:,
"Ich bin ein Berliner." On
Sunday big lot Of thousands
Of Berlihians have put their
names In the coincidence rolls
Ia the American Headquarters.
And when the American people
accompanied his president on
his last way, we saw you on
the way, by teIevision and we
heard by radio the ceremon-
les in the Cathedral and on
the cemetery of Arlington.
We will never forget him.
We will never end to give ourI
thanks to you and your people
who has given such an en-
couraging man to the world
Of today. May God bless yourl

and peace for the whole worldlI

never put the stuffing in the

certainty, still, on the basis of
current progress, cautious opti-
mism can be expressed In re-
CARDS to satisfying future
needs" the council said.
Despite the generally opti-
mtstic report, the council said
efforts to interest more stu
dents In medical career, which
have been intensified In recent
years, should not be relaxed.
Medicine will continue to COM
pete with an increased number
Of other ''status professions''
for top students, 1t said.
The public announcement Of
six new medical. schools was
made by the University Of Ariz-
ona, Tucson; Mt. Sinai Hospital,
New York City; University Of
Massachusetts, Amherst; Uni
versity Of California, San Diego;
Michigan State University, East
Lansing, and Pennsylvania State
University, University Park, the
ANA report said.
OF the five new schools pre-
vtously announced, New Mexico
plans to enroll its first medical
students for the le64-65 aca-
demtc year; Rutgers plans to
accept an entering class for
1886, and the University Of
Texas, San Antonio, for l9s6-e7.
Brown has accepted for Ie6S-e4
its first college class which will
In part constitute its first medi-
cal students in the next few
years, and the Univer sity Of
Connecticut is In the process Of
developing its architectural and
academic plans.
There are many other insti-
tutions which are giving serious
study to the establishment Of
medical schools, the report said,
and growing emphasis on con-
struction of teaching facilities
Is anticipated as a result Of the
Health Professions Educational
Assistance Act passed by Con-
greSs this year.
The act for the first time
authorizes federal matching
grants for construction Of teach
ing facilities. Such matching
funds have long been available
for construction Of research
facilities, the report noted, and
there has been an apparent dis
proportionate expenditure Of con-
Struction funds for research as
opposed to teaching facilities.
The increase In the number
OF students applying for admis-
sion to medical schools confirm-
ed the councils prediction a
year ago that a declining trend
since l94e reached its lowest
point in l96l-62 and would begin
an upward swing.
Applicants for medical schools
in l962-6S totaled Is, ,S47, COM
pared with IA ,38l In the previous
year, and increase Of l,466 or
10 per cent.
Preliminary estimates indi-
cate that the number of appli-
cants for the current l963-64
class have again increased at
least Is per cent to 1884, the
report said, and 1t appears
likely that the number will in
crease substantially during the
next several years.
Total enrolment In the ma
tion's 81 approved medical
schools for Ie62-63 was 81, ,491
up 4l3 from le6I-62, the report
said. However, 1t said, more
satisfactory estimate Of the rate
of expansion Of teaching facili-
ties may be the addition Of l59
first-year students during that
year, a 2.2 per cent increase.
The question Of whether there
is a shortage of full-time medi-
cal school faculty members at
present, and whether there viii
be a shortage In the future, Is
a very complex one which Is
difficult to answer In bsolnte
terms, the council said.

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
How was your turkey day?
You know, for years l never
attempted to put a gobbler In
the oven knowing full well it
would come out in charcoal form
or not we'll done. For those Of
you who are as poor a cook as
l am, or who have just become
a bride let me tell you how I
do my turkey and how 1t never,
and l mean never, fails to be
done to perfection.
The first requisite is heavy
duty foil. Next you must have a
roaster pan, the top Of which
you can toss back in the attic.
Il you turn the oven to $50 de-
grees, then you can turn your
attention to the bird. Baste the
turkey with ia pound Of oleo,
salt and pepper 1t well, for
heavens sake remove the neck,
gizzard and liver from its inners
and now you're ready to wrap
it. Take two sheets Of foil and
make cuff fastening both pieces
together and place these on the
bottom OF the pan and lay the
turkey on top of them. Wrap the
turkey in the foil. pinching the
foil together over the top Of the
bird.
I usually get thirteen pound

MISUNDERSTANDING
CAUSE OF TROUBLE

Ones church regardless of
the denomination is always
ready to serve as a guide and a
support in times Of confusion and
strife. Spiritual advisers are
trained to help rid us of mis-
under standing, which is tn e
cause Of a great part OF our
trouble. Misunderstanding, l am
convinced, is the worst offender
in breeding disagreement and i'll
will between individuals and be-
tween nations. How do we go
about reducing and perhaps
eventually eliminating mis-
unders standing?

Bubson Discusses;

Babson Park, Mass. The ap-
palling explosion of personal
hatreds that recently shocked
Dallas, the nation, and the world
has set me and millions of
others as we'll to thinking of
how we can help change the at
mosphere that could produce
such a chain-reaction Of murder
and vengeance. It has been said
by some usually sound thinkers
that we are all to blame to some
extent for the climate that
breeds such violence. I agree
with this.
WHERE
DO WE START?
But, how do we start to clear
the air Of this poison? What,
exactly, do we do first? It seems
to me that the very first step is
self-appraisal, an objective and
immediate analysis of our social,
