among Christian churches OF

Lutherans in the United

than ever before through the
operation Of the same sociolo-

them apart" DR.. Fry declared.
"Lutherans have had Is differ

Constitutional apportioning.
Maryland's highest court has
ruled that representation in the
State Senate does not have to
be related to population. A
Federal court in Virginia said
both legislative houses there
must be reorganized.
Attorney David j. Mays OF
Richmond argued that the low

we're available.

He also noted that a second

Mr.. Mays said Virginia has
reapportioned itself every 10
years. Elections we're held under
the present apportionment last

The attorneys argued yester-
day that such a standard would

Opposing lawyers contend
that the reverse is the case

use Of a population standard.

An argument made against

The Delaware appeal raises
a novel argument that history

Congress, the appeal said, re-
admitted States to the Union

much more than they do him.
Their votes however do not
turn him into their captive
candidate.
The really interesting
question is not why Senator
Goldwater appeals to these
silly people but why the con-
sentative case is so popular
now. sf4F
A conservative revulsion
can be expected if the Demo-
Gratis have enjoyed many
years in office; or If there
has been massive corruption;
or if the economy has been
utterly mismanaged; or If a
laundering foreign policy has
led to defeats and retreat.
The present conservative
protest is not fed from these
roots. In essence it has two
guiding principles. 1t cannot
believe that all this Ameri-
can effort and sacrifice can
have produced no better re-
suit in world affairs than q
precarious balance which
wavers uncertainty between
deceptive periods of truce. At
home it sees the American
people at the mercy Of big
governments, big budgets,
big deficits, big trade unions,
and now big demonstrations.
At one and the same time it
underestimate the complex
tiles Of our problems, both
domestic and foreign, and
overestimates the power Of
American action to change
the course Of events.
This fatal facility for
giving simple answers to
complex questions. combined
with an exploitation of a
public feeling of fatigue and
WEAKNESS after years Of
sacrifice, enable the conser-
vatives to be so fertile of
criticisms, so barren Of con-
Structive proposals. But with
all their mistakes and pu-
erilitieS, these conservatives
have touched a deep chord IN
the public mind. That ex-
plains why they have been
able to convert an exercise in
nostalgia into a reasoned and
impressive force in American
life. Conservatism today
marches to a different meas
sure and under different IN
centives than it knew in the
days Of Senator Taft, but It
is definitely on the march
and that would have pleased
him.

tional right Of its citizens to
spend their money what way
they please. Many European
governments have limited the
amounts Of currency to be
taken out Of their countries,
but they are not as demo-
cratic as ours.
Early in 1861 this column
ventured to make a suggestion
for coping with the dollar
(gold) outflow without in
terfering with the constitu-
tional freedom of the Amer
leans to spend their money
as they please after paying
their income taxes.
1t was suggested by this
columniSt that since we are
supposed to have vast amounts
Of counterpart funds all over
the world, the American
traveller abroad be told to
exchange his dollars at the
Treasury or an authorized
private agency for drafts in
marks, francs, lire, or what
ever. These foreign currencies
could be drawn from the bill
lions Of counterpart funds
which are at the American
governments disposal in all
countries receiving aid from
us over the last IS years.
The suggestion, your re-
porter was informed, had
been noticed by the authori-
ties. But nothing happened.
This column was later in
formed that in some coun-
tries like Germany, the coun-
terpart funds had been ex-
hausted. In others, there was
so little that the Treasury
could not dispose Of them in
stable amounts lest our Gov
ernment's own operations be
interfered with. The most val
i'd answer this reporter has
received, however, is that the
countries which still have
large counterpart funds are
opposed to parting with them.
They prefer them to be
plowed back into their own
economy.

But innkeepers all over Eu-
