THE POLITICAL MILL
Political Showdowns on the Way
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The official period Of
mourning for the late Presi-
dent John p. Kennedy ends
Monday-and 50 does the
moratorium on politicking
for Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike. Both Gov. Rock
efeller Of New York and Sen
ator Barry Goldwater Of
Arizona - candidate and
near ndidate for the
@. D. P. 1864 presidential
nomination - will resume
speaking engagements the
first week In January, and
the political tom-toms will
be heard from many sides
thereafter. The Republicans
are preparing to open up on
President johnson and his
administration. and the
Democrats will have plenty
to say about the g. o. P. do
nothing" tactics In Congress.
For Senator Goldwater, his
first speaking engagement is
an address in Grand Rapids,
Mich, which originally was
to be delivered November %,
the day following the tragic
death Of President Kennedy.
Gov. Rockefeller goes to
Portsmouth, N. H, where he
was to have spoken Novem-
Der Is. Both men are expect
ed to have further speaking
engagements during January.
So far as is known, Senator
Goldwater will decide finally
whether he will become an
avowed candidate for the
presidential nomination prior
to the last filing date for the
Illinois presidential preferen-
tial primary which is Janu-
airy 81. The final filing date
for the New Hampshire pri-
mary Is January 20. The New
Hampshire primary is run off
March 10, however, and the
Illinois primary April IA.
There are others who must
make a decision about these
primary elections.
The Current Situation
The big problem for the
Republicans still remains the
selection Of q presidential
candidate. Apparently, the
only major problem for the
Democrats is the selection Of
a vice presidential candidate
to run on q ticket headed by
President johnson. For the
Republicans, Rockefeller and
Goldwater are out in the
open for public inspection. In
the wings are the "poten-
tials"-former Vice President
Richard M. Nixon, AmbasSa-
dor Henry Cabot Lodge, Gov
errors Romney Of Michigan
and Scranton Of Pennsylvania,
and Senator Thruston Nor
ton Of Kentucky. Demands
from Goldwater supporters
that he throw his hat in the
ring without further delay
keep rolling in-but he still
keeps his friends guessing.

IMAGE Abroad

In an interview some time
ago, Lyndon johnson re-
marked that he didn't buy
the idea that the United
States was generally envied
and diSliked, usually in pro-
portion to the amount of
foreign aid received. He said
his experience has shown
him quite the opposite: In
country after country he has
visited, friendship for Ameri-
ca was expressed by people
in all walks of life, warmly
and sincerely.
He said it's time to stop
bewailing the so-called ex-
port Of Coca-cola culture,
loud-mouthed tourists, and
Government officials like
those pictured in ugly Amer
lean literature. These pic
lures simply are not true;
American culture, idealism,
and efficiency in Govern
ment, education and bust
ness, has the respect of the
world. There is genuine
friendship and understand
ing everywhere for the Unit
ed States and its people.
We here at the National
Radio Institute have found
this to be true. 1t Is reflected
daily in our work with cor
respondence students study
ing electronics and residing
in almost every country in
the world. These students,
eager to educate themselves
so that they can better help
their countries, very con-
Sciously draw upon the ideal
ism and traditions Of Ameri-
ca for their inspiration. It
makes one both humble and
proud Of the United States.

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
A Country of Young and Old
BY RALPH McGILL

is around IS million. And
these are the age groups that
are most rapidly increasing.
AS we cup ear to the noise
that time makes and try to
read its meaning, the school
people hear no patter Of
little feet-but a thunder Of
them. We are far behind in
classrooms. The future de-
mands Of education in the
area Of physical plant alone
are beyond the ability Of all
but a few communities to
meet them. The teacher
shortage will worsen. A vast
Federal program already is
imperative. 1t will need to
offer scholarships in medi-
cine, psychiatry, the sciences.
We must understand that
when we help our children to
be educated, trained citizens
we are helping our Nation to
be stronger, not merely in
wages and buying power, but
in those things that make up
a life Of integrity and pur-
pose. What a folly 1t is to cry
out against such sensible
social planning as being
socialiStic.
New Method Needed
Organized religion, along
with education and most
departments of our public
lives, has failed to compre-
bend the meaning Of our
new social structure. Youth
programs attract a fraction
Of the youthful; every parish
has a large share of persons
who are not hostile to reli-
gion but find it sterile and,
at times, q hypocrisy as 1t
conforms faithfully to local
demands to retain the status
quo. With more than half
our population soon to be IS
years old and under, the
dead or palsied hand of the
past is too heavy on too
many of our institutions.
The years are turtle-like or
nimble, depending on the
attitudes Of those who par
ticipate in their passing. For
the United States they have
been very, very swift. When
a man can recall talking
with q man who went to the
Civil War when the popula-
ton was 81 million, and
knows there now are all
about in his land over Al
million children under 10
years of age, such a man
must at least admit that new
methods. techniques and,
most of all, attitudes are
required.
A good rule always is to
try and stand on top Of
today and attempt to look
into day after tomorrow. The
revolutions Of industrial
science and population are In
motion.

parative religion. Young
minds should be shown that
the foundations of morality
are not the property of any
one religion. They must be
helped to realize that Chris
tians and Jews share this
planet with Buddhists, Mos
lens, Hindus, etc.

Crisis of Confidence

As Defendant No. Is in the
historic medical trust
trails in which organized
medicine was found guilty Of
being a conspiracy in res
traint Of trade. 1 plead with
our American Medical ASso-
citation to end its cold war
against the health needs of
the general welfare. Once
again organized medicine
faces a crisis of confidence.
Even our friends are asking:
are we a business or a
learned profession do we
serve or do we presume to
dictate and command?
Our ANA leadership seems
grimly intent upon regarding
social security as a dirty
word. Yet even those who re-
sent its costs and burden
sharing of common needs,
freely confess that this birth
right Of everyone will not
be sold or diSowned. It is
here to stay and serve.
In this crisis of confidence,
the healing arts must dis
tinguish between socialized
medicine and social medi-
cine. One makes us the SER
want of the state-the other
the servant of all the people.
Should we become servants
of the state, our masters will
be stultifying bureaucracy
with its bankrupting redupli-
cations, its self-serving red
tape and growing default
and insufficiency. Never in
its history has the state CIV
en- more and better for less.
It never has failed, at least
in our time, to wildly grow,
and greedily grab. AS a free
profession, we will have none
of that.
But to practice social med
icine is both our duty and
avowed intent. In war our
free profession yielded rights
and immunities not denied
any other workers whose
essentially was in critical
short supply. Unlike all other
workers, we did not strike
we did not enjoin like lesser
breeds who served themselves
instead Of their country. We
now face q similar challenge
to unselfishly serve or
drag our feet.

There are thousands of
American men and women in
late middle life today who
recall knowing and talking
with veterans Of the Civil
War.
When that war began, in
1861. the population Of the
United States was but little
more than 81 million. (The
official 1860 census figure
was 31.443,321. In 1870, five
years after Gen. Lees sur
render at Appomattox, the
national census counted 3d.
558,371)
This introduction serves to
underscore the meaningful
fact that we now have in the
United States more than Al
million children under 10
years Of age. The Census
Bureau, Commerce Depart
ment, Labor Department and
Health, Education and We'll
fare Department are all
aware Of the presence of
these children and the i'm
pact they will have on en-
ployment, education and
commerce.
In a little more than two
years from now it is estimat-
ed by the Census Bureau
that slightly more than half
the population will be under
Is years of age. We rapidly
are becoming a country of
the young and the old-with
a substantial, though dimin-
iShing, segment between the
ages of IS and As.
Reflected in Market
These facts explain why
magazines appear devoted to
the teen-age population and
why magazines and periodi-
Gals additionally attuned to
adults" now are trying to be
eager and nimble Jacks
jumping over candlestickS in
an attempt to win young
eyes and minds. The statiS-
tics also reveal the growing
market in the consumer
goods and durables for teen
ayers and children-faShions
cosm etics, cars, clothing.
hobbies, books, cigarettes,
and so on. A considerable
amount of advertising is
directed at the ages below Is.
Some of the traditional
values Of life take a buffet
ing in the rush to cash in on
the teen market" Much
that is shabby. greedy,
cheap. vulgar and dirty is
involved in the new gold
rush. But it is with us-and
will be, increasingly.
1t is a really big market.
Count it: There are about Il
million under 10 years Of
age. There are about 81
million between 10 and 10.
There are about II million
between 10 and Is. The total

Prayer Petition

We have watched with
interest efforts to carry in
the House a civil rights
discharge petition. No COM
mittee should be permitted
to bottle up important leg
islative proposals for an
unconscionable period of
time. We wonder II the same
conviction extends to propos-
ais for a prayer amendment.
Since last July q prayer
amendment discharge petit
ton has been in the House.
Proposals for amendment to
reverse the effect Of the two
tragic Supreme Court pray
er decisions" have been in
the hopper of the House
Judiciary Committee for
nearly a year and a half.
Interestingly enough it was
the chairman Of this COM
mittee who sponsored the
civil rights discharge petit
ton. We do not question his
right to do this. We do won
der If his comments on
"Delphic words" in the case
of Representative Smith
might not also be applied to
his own reply to those Of us
who have asked him when he
would schedule hearings on
the prayer amendment
proposals.
1t is not our purpose to
judge the case for a civil
rights discharge petition. 1t
Is our purpose, In the name
of thousands of citizens in
Massachusetts, and Of those
other thousands Of Ameri-
cans in every State who feel
very strongly that at least
the American people should
have the chance to vote yes
or no on the matter of public
substantive questions.

Assassination
Doesn't Change
Views In South

ATLANTA CUPID - President
Kennedy's assassination will
change neither the drive for Ne
gro rights nor the views Of
Southern SegregationistS.
This was the consensus of a
South-wide survey conducted by
United Press International.
In the South, as in the rest of
the country, the tragic events Of
the past weekend first brought
shock, then grief and then a
quiet assessment of what's to
come.
Many SouthernerS think there
will be a change in the impetus
from Washington for civil rights
and watch President Johnson's
administration for indications of
this.
But Negro leaders vowed
there would be no let-up in their
drive against racial diScrimina-
ton.
"Tfme is PAST
"The time is past when Ne
gro protests were a momentary
emotional phenomena. !" said
Indignation leader Martin Luz
Their King Jr.
Florida NAACP Field Secre-
tary Robert Saunders Of Tampa
echoed these sentiments:
"We can not sit back and
wait. They (whites) may get
the picture we are not going to
push now"
Saunders said that Johnson's
Southern background might
mean that he will not push as
hard for civil rights as Presi-
dent Kennedy, but added: my
idea is that he is aware Of the
(racial problem and knows it is
a world problem. / would hope
500
King said he was ''deepIy en-
couraged'' that President John
son gave the civil rights bill
such a prominent place" in his
first address as President.
He sent the President a tele-
gram Wednesday expressing
"my deep appreciation to you
for this heroic and courageous
affirmation Of our democratic
ideals. -"
Room For Question
In Washington, the Rev. Walt
E. Auntroy, a director of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC) which
King heads, said there is ''room
for question and room for
doubt about Johnson's commit
ment to civil rights even though
he has spoken out forcefully
and tried hard to halt racial
discrimination in employment.
Alabama's segregationist Gov.
George Wallace issued a public
statement denying reports that
President Kennedy's death
caused him to change his views
on segregation. II have not al
tered my position at ALL" he
said.

Studies Being Made of Transporting Iron Ore Through a Pipeline

CALGARY, Alta. R = Studies are being made of the feasibility of transporting iron ore through a pipeline to TideWater at Skag- way, Alaska, it was announced here Friday.
 A spokesman for Crest Explora- tions Ltd, which has interested Japanese steel manufacturers in a huge iron ore deposit in the Yukon, said the finely-ground iron con centrated probably would be sus- pended in water.
 The deposit, which contains an estimated 20 billion tons of ore, is APO miles from ports in the SkagWayHaines area of Alaska.
 A company official said it is possible crude oil also could be used as medium for transporting the ore but this ,7CuId depend on discovery of additional oil fields in the Yukon.
 Crest, a division of Standard Oil of California, has interested YaWa- ta Iron and Steel, Fuji Iron and Steel and Nippon Koran in the deposit, which is 325 miles north of Whitehorse.
 Representative of the area will inspect the area next month.

Alaskans Will View Dramatic Event Of Total Eclipse of Sun This Week

just as the sun reappears - Baily's Beads may be seen. This is a thin edge of brightness around the moon which looks like a string of glowing beads. This effect is caused by light shining through the valleys and between the noun tains along the edge of the moon These shapes break up the light into a series of glowing bead like dots.
 During the eclipse solar promi- nece may be visible. These are sheets of fiery gases that shoot up in the atmosphere of the sun. The shining gases are brilliant red and thousands of miles thick They move at fantastic speeds - some times 500,000 miles in half an hour.
 You may see a silvery halo: The corona of the sun. This outer at mosphere of the sun shows up dramatically while the glowing sun is darkened by an eclipse.
 While the sun is partially hid den, some stars and planets may appear in the darkened sky There may be a sudden coolnesS as the temperature and humidity sudden ly drop.
 When the eclipse ends, the shad- oW cone may be visible. This is the great mass of air that gets no direct sunlight during the eclipse The cone will appear to rise from the earth and dramatically move up and away, gliding swiftly over head from north to south.
 When the. sun shines through small openings, such as between the leaves of trees, the ground will be dotted with small crescents. Each will be formed exactly like the patrially-eclipsed sun, but in- verted. This effect is similar tC that caused by a pin-hole camera To see these images clearly, place sheet on the ground under a tree where the images will be protected on it.
 Another interesting phenome- non of the eclipse is the appearance of shadow bands - waves of shim- mering light and shade that run parallel to the visible edge of the sun. These narrow bands move radily, and it may be necessary to place a sheet on the ground to see them.
 These shadow effects of the eclipse may be seen throughout Alaska--in partial eclipse zones as we'll as the area of total eclipse.
 Twenty-two eclipses of the sun are expected in the ten years from January 1861 to December 1870, but most of them will occur in dis tant parts of the world The last solar eclipse seen in the US. was in 1943. Alaska was the only part of the US. frow hich it could be seen. The next solar eclipse visible in the US. will be in 1870, with a
