Political Courage

Three Maryland Republican leaders have now spoken
up decsivey the civil rights question and the stands
they have taken are highly commendabe which de-
serve the support-and praise-of the public.
Sen. j. Glenn Beall this week told $50 Montgomery
County Republicans that Maryland citizens must face up
to the moral ISSUE of adequate civil rights legislation
thus algning himself with those who believe that c
zens are equal and there nothing particularly wrong with
enforcing the provisions of the United States Constitution
in this respect.
Rep. Charles McC Matthias became of cour-
ageous group of national legislators sponsoring civil
rights bill that would authorize the attorney general to file
suit on behalf of persons Disseminated against any place
providing accommodations amusement, food services
to the public. The bill is sweeping in scope and will be
bitterly attacked but it is notable effort.
Chairman David Scull of the Maryland Republican
State Central Committee publicly-and propery-rebuked
Gov j. Mard Tawes for failing to block the exempting of
IL Southern Maryland and Eastern Shore counties from
what started out to be statewide public accommodations
law. He points out and emineny correctly that these
areas are undoubtedly in for racial strife of
which has already developed in Cambridge and the Cen
era Assembly should be convened to enact statewide
bill from which of the % counties would be exempted
The suggestion is splendid and while such is
certain to generate great deal of heat and controversy
viii be great deal less than that which the state will
experience open, defiant racial discrimination al
lowed to continue in areas.
While the stands, now firmly TAKEN of the three COP
leaders may put them in the category of satemen
enlightened public servants in the minds of some they
certain to put them firmly in the doghouse with Others
Accordingly they deserve commentator and support for
their politically courageous decision stand up and be
counted in these difficult times.

The Big Design
COP Views

AS the citizens of Maryland and Mont

conservative political leanings, the liberal

nique of attempted destruction.
The overwhelmingly conservative ans
wers to Sen. ]. Glenn Bealrs annual poll have
attracted nationwide attention Marylanders
declared themselves (a) for roofing out and
destroying communist subversion within our
boundaries; (b) almost to for invasion of
Cuba; (c) 90eo wants cuts in foreign aid; I'D
$40 support strong national defense posi-
ton; (e) S9fo would reduce the budget; 90
s69e oppose deficit spending
Recently $500 Montgomery Countians
rallied for Senator Goldwater To the skeptic
who says they came to see the horse show,
reminder they stayed to hear all the
speeches.
These evidences Of conservative express
sion have brought quick reaction The recent
attempt of the press to link the Republican
party to the John Birch society was an open
use Of the guilt by association" method.
But the appearance Of the head of Group
Research Inc. in Montgomery County foretells
the shape Of things to come. He came to de-
nounce the radical right wing parties" defin-
ing them as composed of everyone but the
liberal-minded or the "intelligently conserva-
tive" citizen.
Group Research, Inc, up to this point
has been publicity shy. With headquarters In
Washington IL has assembled and makes
available mostly to union newspapers and
the "ultra.liberal" press, data purporting to
show that all conservative elements are cut
from the same cloth.
The first objective is to lump all conser.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1963-06-13

On this Memorial Day, l re-
call 1776, when we fought to
link the 13 colonies as one
Nation; 1860, when we fought
to preserve the Nation; 1914
and 1941, when we defended
the Nation against tyranny
and dictator ip, against
armies which would destroy
our way of life.
Today there are others who
would destroy our National
traditions, who would take us
back in time to an era of iso-
lation, who would tear down
the structure which we call
National government. These
Estates Fighters" would have
us return to the middle ages,
when each Baron maintained
a personal army, when travel
between towns was risky,
when people lived and died
without knowing about people
in the next valley, when men
spent nearly all their working
hours just to feed themselves,
when the good life" was re-
served only for royalty.
States Fighters" would have
each State wrangling with the
other 49, each State fighting
for its own dignity rather
than National dignity, each
State holding itself above Ma.
tional preservation.
If the Estates Fighters" have
their way, the United States
and the free world would soon
lose our struggle for a free
world against the communists.
The States Fighters" play in
to communists hands by di-
viding us first State
against Nation, then State
against State. AS the rest of
the world learns how to work
together, how to combine in
dependence with cooperation,
the States Fighters" would
plunge us backward instead of
forward.
What we need Is not less
National conscience, but more;
we need a world conscience.
We must learn to love, not
hate. We must learn to
sometimes headline our agree
ments, not only disagree
ments. I have deep faith in
our country. I believe that
our system is the best one.
But time is not standing still.

The two hght-gray sisters often played to-
gether, rolling each other over and over and
boxing one another around, but you could
see that it was all in fun. The black kitten
began playing, if that is the proper word, with
her sisters. She rolled them over and sank
her teeth and claws into their skin bringing
yelps of pain from them. She wasn't really
playing but fighting. We had juvenile delin.
quent kitten on our hands,
1rishka's attempts to clean the kitten
brought only hostility and rebuff The black
one would square off and take a swing at
her with one paw. Trishka belted her a couple
OF times during the first morning. BY the
end OF the day the black one was not so hos.
tile although she would not let her mother
clean her.
The next day TrishEa decided that she
had put up with enough of this nonsense and
held the kitten down while she cleaned her
FUR The kitten fought back but her mothers
strength and weight were too much. By the
the time the kitten left for home again, she
mad relearned the lesson of receiving love
and good cleaning from her mother. be.
heVe she won't forget now for Trishla often
crosses the street to explore the world on the
other side and doubtless, being the good
mother that she is, will be sure to visit her
Diack-striped daughter often enough to keep
that love in her heart.
If kitten can be turned into a hostile
delinquent by being deprived too soon of her
iarnilys love, think of how much greater the
impact can be on sensitive child If kitten
can relearn the ability to accept love again,
perhaps SO can those children who have been
turned into hostile beings by the early loss
OF love. Our society owes a great debt to
those few among us who try to reawaken
love in hostile child's heart

ing this might be to point out
that representative democracy
is based on an informed, INTEL
ligent electorate. This is the
basic premise of public ed
ucation on which the entire
system is founded.
Now, we come to his second
premise, which seems to be
that there is more than basic
education offered in our
schools. This is a peculiar idea.
What is basic education? In
Mr.. Jefferson's time, a knowl-
edge of Latin was considered
essential to education. Il might
add, that in the small, old
fashioned school system 1 at
tended, this was also the case.
We had no creative thinking,
but a good dosage of Latin.)
Is a high school diploma
part of basic education? How
about four years of English,
U. S. History, Economics?
Shall one decide that Geome-
try is basic, but Trigonometry
not? (There are less than 35
students in most Trigonome-
try classes.) Is Spanish basic?
Is Chinese or Russian a frill?
After careful scrutiny, neith-
er the school board nor the
county council was able to find
the frills in our educational
system. Nor is that offered
in our county, a single course
which is not also part of the
program of other large, quail
ity public school systems. In
order to lower taxes the Coun-
Gil had to adopt Mr.. Briggs
recommendation for a "reduc-
ton in the level of services"
and cut the teacher allotment
by 200. This will most certain
ly affect the basic education
for which we, as citizens, are
responsible.

From This Angle
The Black Kitten

Irlshka, our mother cat, gave birth to
three kittens Two were ight-gray and white
tigers and the other a black-striped tiger with
beautiful markings. AS with all families who
keep mother cats, we had the ever recurring
chore of finding home for some of the
kittens. use the word home advisedly. for we
still have two and these are the most beauti-
ful-oops, for a moment 1 forgot that a
coiumnist shouldn't use his column to further
his own ends.
The lady who lives across the street Sc.
lected the black tiger. After the kitten had
learned to eat from dish, or so we thought,
we let our neighbor take the kitten with her.
She brought her back day later because the
kitten wouldn't eat
About week later the black kitten
seemed accustomed to formal dining so we
sent her back across the street. About two
weeks after that, our neighbOr had to leave
town for couple of days so she asked IL
the kitten could rejoin her family again.
The lady brought the kitten over in the
evening and my wife reached down and picked
her up, holding her quite close to her face.
Like two padded bolts of Tightening the kit.
tens two front paws shot out in a one-two
punch, one landing on each of my wifes
cheeks. The claws were kept sheathed but
there was considerable hostility in the act
Since the black kitten had been away for
only two weeks we felt sure that she would
enjoy rejoining her family. We called in
lr1shka and her other two kittens. The black
ones reaction was one of fright and hostility.
She and her sister reached out their noses
toward one another but as soon as the noses
touched, the black one leaned back and
swung one paw in the air, ready to do battle
Her reaction was the same towards her
mother so Trishka walked calmly away.
