@. Are you still registered as
a Republican?
A. Yes, sir.
@. Next year when the Presi-
dent runs for reelection, will
you indorse him for a second
term or do you expect to sit
on the sidelines?
A. I think 1t would be in
appropriate, probably, for the
particular staff that I am in
volved in to get heavily en-
gagged in partisan politics. I
have tried to avoid that while
I have been down here.

@. Would you personally
hope for President Kennedy's
reelection?
A. I think I have just an
swered your question.
@. To turn to matters Of
policy, I understand Chancel-
lor Adenauer has written a let
ter to the President recently
saying Germany now supports
the multi-lateral nuclear force.
A. The Germans have been
in favor of the idea Of the
multi-lateral force right along.
What has happened in recent
weeks is that the two Govern
ments have reached good solid
understanding on important
matters of the mode Of the
force-that it should be a sea-
borne surface force and that
any firing decision should be
made by unanimous decision
of major participants. Both of
these points apply to the force
as it will initially be consti-
tuted. 1t is certainly fair that
such matters should be kept
under review as we get expert
ence with the multi lateral
force, which is after all a new
venture. On that basis, there
is now a good understanding
between the Federal Republic
and the United States.

clear test shots?
A. It became apparent that
there was a real chance that
the Soviet Union might be go
ing to large-scale atmospheric
testing again and might have
had considerable propaganda
success in pretending that the
reason for that serious deci-
sion was this very small set Of
quite uninportant United States
tests. They would be useful,
but they are not urgent in any
major sense. In this situation
the possible international polit-
ical effects became more sig
nificaht than the immediate
advantage Of holding the tests,
so they will not be conducted.

@. His reason was that there
were so many Americans
around that the number tended
to support Communist charges
that this was an American war

A. Without commenting d.

True economy comes from getting real
value for money spent There is a substan-
tial question whether or not our recently
elected County Council members are getting
real value for the tax money being paid to
their financial consultant
A memorandum to the Council on Jan.
2, 1868, is an example of his work. He spends
six pages to tell them the following:
We have a legal limit to our debit is
not wise to rely upon this-when you borrow
it costs more than to pay cash-How much
more depends upon how long you take to pay
1t back and whether or not your payments
are IN even amounts-Bonds can be subject to
referenda-We have certain amounts of debt
outstanding (also reported by Department of
Finance) and can have four forms of loans
1t is wise to borrow on the basis of regular
income-Although our present debt is man.
ageable and reasonable we need policy.
The entire document could have been pro-
duced ut the third echeIon Of the County De-
partment of Finance. In substance IL Is ap-
propriate as an indoctrination paper for new
secretaries. The Council members ought to
get more meat for their big job.
Not only is 1t shallow paper but its
timing was an extravagant risk At the very
moment when the County is inviting bidders
for its bonds, the consultant publicly states
that there appears to be no debt policy This

about legislation in which they're interested.
They included:
10 v. Morgan Jr. from Sumner, whose
father was the first personnel chief for the
county when the charter government was
created back in 1948. Young Morgan is inter-
ested in proposed legislation that would affect
the ability of District of Columbia attorneys
to practice in the county. Our circuit court
passed rules to this effect but they were
declared unconstitutional by the Court of APP
peals. Many attorneys who live in the county
but whose principal office are in Washington
contend these restrictions are unfair. But
those whose major practice is in the county
and whose offices also are there contend the
rules are needed to insure adequate represen.
tation at all times before the Montgomery
courts. It's difficult matter to decide with

Since the establishment of
Montgomery County's present
liquor laws, many organized
pressure groups i.e., distillers,
distributors and vendors of
hard liquor, have claimed dis
elimination and have tried by
devious and partially effective
means to change and evade
these statutes.
The "deviations and partially
effective means" to which we
refer are through the use of
misleading advertising, slanted
and prejudiced publications,
and promotion and backing of
the recent outcropping of prof
it-oriented bottle clubs. They
falsely broadcast: additional
revenue and decreased taxes.
This has now been taken UP
and reverberated throughout
the County by unwilling and
uniformed citizens. This Is
far from the truth!
Has thought been given to
the actual drain of county f.
nances which liberalization of
liquor laws will bring? One
reliable source says that "for
every dollar of revenue col
lected, the alcohol related
problems cost about four dol
lars" Where does your money
go? Increased police protec-
ton and Jail costs; increased
court costs; increase In admin
istration needed to facilitate
the volume; increase in wei.
fare aid to families distressed
by alcoholic parents; increased
health and disqualification IA
cilities; loss to industry in
time and money because of
absenteeism and inefficency;
decrease in real estate values;
increase in drinking and
drunken drivers resulting in
highway litter, accidents and
death, the latter of which can
not be expressed in monetary
terms. Careful and authorita-
tive studies made on areas
where easy and liberal liquor
laws exist, reveals the forgo-
ing and the inherent results.
The other erroneous state
ments made from time to time
about loss of revenue to the
open liquor law area of the
District of Columbia can easily
be refuted based on the stag

that birth control, to reduce the birth rate, n
looked upon as one Of the most pressing
unselved problems for the health and welfare
of the population" The final report said that
the application of birth control techniques
involves a constellation of other issues Of
great complexity and of social rather than
a scientific character"
It is shocking that the scientists and off,
Gals Of NH must consider public controversy
when dealing with scientific and social prob
lens so important to the world. II this "feaR
Of bitter public controversy" caused the SCI
entists of NH to omit important statements
regarding birth control, one is forced to con-
cIude that a democratic nation cannot function
efficiently under the present political atti-
tudes In our nation.
In 1859 the Catholic bishops of the United
States stated that American Catholics twill
not support any public assistance, either
at home or abroad, to promote artificial birth
prevention :" A public controversy Inn
mediately erupted, involving even President
Dwight D. Eisenhower The Catholic bishops
In publicly speaking for American Catholics
and using the world public" brought the
matter of birth control into the political arena.
American Catholics are politically powerful
minority group.
The Catholic bishops regard artificial
birth control as immoral and quite properly
teach their parishioners So The members Of
many religious groups, probably a majority
In the United States, are taught that artificial
birth control is moral Some religions teach
that the following practices are wrong or
immoral: blood transfusions, taking drugs,
eating meat, and eating pork None of these
religious groups, except the Catholics, try to
make their peculiar tenets matter of public
policy. Artificial birth control should be a
matter of individual choice, and provisions
regarding it, either positive or negative, should
not be forced on any individual or any nation.
An attempt by any religious group to
make peculiar tenet of their faith a matter
OF public policy is a grave abuse of political
power and II allowed to continue will destroy
our freedom. To prevent the loss of those
freedoms we need controversy, and we need
it badly.

From This Angle
Controversy Needed

In June 1861 the policy planning council
of the State Department made report to
Secretary Rusk and the President concerning
the need for change in United States policy
towards the problem of overpopulation. This
report stated that many of the underdevel-
oped nations are hampered in their efforts to
make progress with the help of American aid
because of population increases. This report
said that political social and religious atti-
tudes prevent the United States from giving
direct, large-scale help in the matter of popu-
lation control After stating that the United
States can help in this area by research and
information, the report recommended that the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) expand
its research in these fields by $40 million a
year.
NH then began surveying the informa-
ton available In this field of birth and popu-
lation control A 19.man advisory group was
formed. NH sent report sort of a work.
ing paper, i presume, to the advisory group.
was unable to obtain a copy of this working
paper but quotations from it were published
In the Sunday Star of Dec. 30, 1851 in an
interpretative report by David s. Broder.
Mr.. Broder reports that NH officials
worked for months trying to get a message
across to the scientists which would not
arouse bitter public controversy Surgeon
General Luther L. Terry finally ordered the
report abandoned or not to be made public
Secretary Celebrezze ordered the report to
be made. Note the reason given for struggling
over the report-to prevent bitter public con-
troversy.
Differences between the working paper
and the final report are great Working
Paper: 1T is the unanimous Judgment of the
persons consulted in the preparation of this
survey that research and research support in
the areas of birth and population control are
only fraction Of what they should be, when
measured by the urgency of the medical and
public health problems" The final report
made no reference to this Unanimous judg-
ment"
The working paper spoke of the impor-
lance of birth control to prevent over-popu-
lated nations from suffering 'under-nutrition
and associated disease and death" and said
