Well, Happy Next New Year' 'Pilgrimage with Pope Paul (2) s&MJjuMuumumHvjLMJuji Pilgrims can still see spot where Joseph's carpentry shop stood wcKuiWlmilWr A political 'unknown of four months ago is now in the race's forefront '. Four months ago, a quick re view of our file Indicates, practical ly no one west of the Mississippi river ever heard of a man named illiam Scranton. During the inter vening period, he has moved up rap Idly in the political world. Four months ago William Scranton was the young Governor of Pennsylvan ia., He's still that; he's also become a leading candidate for the Republi can nomination for President. . For the past three and one-half years there's been no doubt about the identity of the Democratic candi date for President next year. Until shortly after noon on Nov. 22, 1963,. it was going to be John F. Kennedy, .no doubt of it. There was equally little doubt only a few hours later It will be Lyndon Johnson as of now. The only thing which could inter vene would be Mr. Johnson's death or incapacity. The speculation, therefore, has revolved around pos sible opponents to either the late Mr. Kennedy,' or Mr. Johnson. Immediately after the election of Mr. Kennedy, it appeared his 1964 opponent would be Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Rockefel ler's divorce and subsequent remar riage dropped his stock so low it is doubtful if he can make a successful comeback, although he's trying, and hard. He has set up organizations In various states, organizations report edly well supplied with funds and manpower. He has in Oregon secured the services of an extremely able chairman in Bill Walsh of Coos Bay. Then came the Goldwater boom. Senator Barry Goldwater became somewhat of a political Messiah to various fractionated interests of both parties. He appealed to the conservative. But he also appealed to the racist and the radical right, although he made no effort to do so. He was the front-runner, until the ' tragic and untimely death of Mr. Kennedy. His stock has slipped bad ly since, as the nomination became more attractive. Various other possibilities were mentioned even prior to the death - of Mr. Kennedy. The mentions came most frequently from those who did not want to see the nomination go to Senator Goldwater. Most came from the North, the East, and por tions of the West They came from officeholders and would-be candi dates who feared in large measure their own chances would be badly hurt by the presence of Goldwater. on the same ticket Most often mentioned was Rich ard Nixon, who came about as close to winning as a man could come, without winning. Nixon made it clear he did not want the job. He did not make it clear that he would not accept It If it were offered to him. Others mentioned with some frequency included Scranton, Gov ernor Romney of Michigan, and oc casionally Governor Hatfield of Ore gon. The past five weeks has seen a drop in Goldwater's popularity, no increase in that of Rockefeller. Nix on has gained somewhat. Romney and Hatfield have not made much headway. And Scranton has enjoyed an almost amazing boomlet. More persons want to know more about him. Scranton has one necessary qualification. He is rich. He has others. He has served in the execu tive branch of government, as a White House liaison man for the State Department He served a term in Congress. He can win elections. He defeated strong candidates when he sought his present office, and when he ran for Congress. He comes from a big state; Pennsyl vania has 29 electoral votes. He's generally considered to have per formed well since he became Gover nor. He's well-educated, Yale and Yale Law School. He offers some thing which Republicans will need; he's a fresh personality. He's young, and vigorous. His wife is an attrac tive personality, who enjoys cam paigning. Scranton has come a long way in recent weeks. He's sure, if he can avoid enough primaries, to be a strong force to contend with at the convention In San Francisco next July. -Not meant as a deterrent That juvenile judge In Walla -Walla, Washington, who runs a ' secret court, allowing no informa ' tlon outside the doors to the press, . may be defeating his purpose in the end. He has said that he has Imposed ecrecy because "It is impossible for us to see that publication of names has been a crime deterrent as far as juvenile court is concerned." This may be right But the judge and most other people who agree that he is taking the right course of action, are for getting that publication of juvenile proceedings is not meant by news papers to be a deterrent to juvenile crime. Publication of juvenile court news comes under the heading of public right of access to tiie business being conducted within public lnstl- EDITOR'S NOTE: This It th second of four dispatches dealing with places Pope Paul VI will visit on his pilgrim age to the Holy Land begin ning Jan. 4. It describes the town of Nazareth. By Eliav Simon UPI Staff Writer NAZARETH, Israel (UPI) The worn hills of Galilee hid Nazareth from the pages of his tory until the Gospels turned it into a shrine venerated through out Christendom. It was the boyhood home of Christ. Here he preached the sermon in the synagogue that led to his rejection by the Naz arenes, and here he played amid the shavings and dust of Joseph's carpentry shop. Pilgrims today can still see the spot where the shop stood. Mary's well is here in Nazar eth and women still come to It for their water, returning home with pitchers carried upon their heads. Nazareth was a place that made almost no mark in this ancient land. So obscure was it, the Gospel of John tells us, that Nathanael asked in disbelief, "Can there any good thing good come out of Nazareth?" Philip replied, "come and see" Jesus of Nazareth. Much The Same Pope Paul VI will find it a city that looks not greatly dif ferent than at the time of Christ. Nothing remains of course of the actual buildings, but change comes slowly in Galilee and what was destroyed by ravag ing armies was rebuilt as it had been before. Most of the modern Nazarenes wear Western clothes. Yet, many still dress In the flowing robes that were common in Bib lical times. The population is now about 25,000, most of them Arab Christians. About 10,000 of them are Roman Catholics. Roman soldiers sacked the town on their way to major at tacks on Japha in 67 A.D., and it is believed that the Nazareth of the Gospels perished. Only caves in the rocks provided refuge. Eusebius, citing Julius Africanus, says "relatives of the Lord" presumably the de scendants of the family of Jos eph and Mary were scattered throughout the countryside. But politics and military stra tegy sent Titus to sack Jerusa lem, and the seeds of Nazar- Washington Merry-go-round Lawmakers should be paid according to days worked tutions. There are plenty of past examples of harsh and restrictive action on the part of the judiciary and some law enforcement types who haven't been subject to the light of public scrutiny. The Bulletin publishes Juvenile names when a felony has been com mitted or when the violation in volves liquor or moving traffic. Like most Oregon newspapers we use dis cretion in reporting juvenile court business to the public. We do not believe that the with holding of records of public business will serve as a crime deterrent for juveniles any more than it would for those over 18 years old. The dangers of "closed courts" should be evident to even the most vocal of those who would have us bury our heads In the sand and hide our Juvenile crimes behind steel doors. By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON - On Decem ber 12 this writer opined that congressmen are generally un derpaid and entitled to a raise In salary. I now find myself un der the necessity of eating part of my own words. It is true that the living ex penses of senators and con gressmen are high. But looking over the absentee records of some congressmen at the pres ent session of the 88th Con gress, it is obvious that many of them do not deserve a raise. In fact, if a corporation execu tive, or a farm hand, or a fac tory worker chalked up the same attendance record of some of these congressmen, he would be fired. Because of slipshod attend ance, the habit of flying all over the world at the taxpay ers' expense, conflicts of inter est, do-nothingism, procrastina tion, blocking of legislation by one man, the current 88th Con gress has probably sunk lower in the public esteem than any other in recent history. I regret to report this, be cause in my opinion a respect ed Congress Is vital to respect for government. If public re spect for Congress drops, pub lic respect for government also drops. This is one way to un dermine democracy and help communism. Therefore I should like to pro pose an independent agency to keep tabs on Congress, on its attendance, its conflicts of in terest, and its junkets. Congressional Accounting Office Some years ago, Congress set up the General Accounting Of fice to keep tabs on government spending. Its chief, the comp troller general, is appointed for a term of fourteen years and no one can remove him. This gives him great independence. Be can look down the throat of the executive branch of govern ment and examine every tooth in its head. As a result, the GAO has saved millions of dol lars over the years. However, the General Ac counting Office has the power to scrutinize only the executive branch of government. It can not focus on Congress. And what is needed today is a new "Congressional Accounting Of fice" to audit congressional ex pense accounts, inform the pub lic regarding absentee records and report on whether junkets are a waste of the taxpayers' money. Furthermore if congressmen insist on taking long vacations or ducking out of key votes, let them be paid accordingly. Give them the raise in pay which they want from $22,500 to $.15,000 per year. But also dock them if they duck out of Wash ington during business days. It should not be necessary for the President of the United States to get on the phone and urge congressmen to come back to work, as LBJ had to do just before Christmas. Nor should it be the duly of the party whip to phone or telegraph them. Congressmen are oid enough to read and write, most of them are even able to read the oath of office they took to carry out their duties. Relaxing In the Islands For instance. Rep. Richard Boiling, the Kansas City Demo crat, was on a boat, cruising off the Virgin Islands, when Henry Wilson of the While House staff got hold of him to ask that he fly back to Wash ington and help vote the foreign aid bill out of the Rules Com mittee. Boiling is a member of that committee. The ship-to-shore radio phone on which Wilson appealed to Boiling didn't work very well. Despite this Boiling told a heart - rending story of how in the past whenever he wanted to get a couple of days off he was summoned back to Washington to vote. Last March, he said he had gone to Michigan with some Kansas City friends to hunt, when he got a call from Washington to come back. He came back, Dick lamented, and never was able to rejoin his friends in Michigan. This time, the congressman from Kansas City said, he was going to stay in the waters of the Virgin Islands and relax. The weak point in Boiling's sorrowful complaint is that it was not his right to go hunt ing in Michigan in the first place. His job was in Washing ton tending to the business for which the voters elected him. Even when President Johnson got on the ship - to - shore tele phone to beg Boiling to come back, he refused. So also did Rep. Chet Holl field of California, long time leader of the so-called "Demo cratic Study Group," which' has been scolding old line congress men for blocking bills and de laying tactics. When urgent phone calls were made to Holi field in California, he refused to come back and earn his sal ary. Rep. Everett Burkhalter of North Hollywood, Calif., was another absentee. Various at tempts were made to locate him, but he had gone hunting. Burkhalter chalked up a not able victory in 1962 when he de feated John Birchite Edgar Hie stand. Burkhalter has had a good attendance record in the past. Before coming to Congress he was an electrician in Holly wood's motion picture studios, and if he had walked out on an important shooting he would not have been paid. Or he might have been disciplined. Another Democrat who did not turn up for the crucial vote on foreign aid was Rep. Dante Fascell of Miami. The late President Kennedy had gone down to Florida to attend a $100-a-plate dinner at which he gave Fascell a big election boost. But when the chips were down on an important bill initi ated by Kennedy, Fascell was away basking in the Florida sunshine. When urged to come back, he did so. But. he was not willing lo leave Florida early enough to reach Washington in time to vole on the two-thirds at first necessary to pass the foreign aid bill. Fascell left Florida so late that the snow would not per mit him to land in Washington. A "Congressional Accounting Office" could pay congressmen according to the number of days they work, check on their law firms, their conflicts of in terest and their junkets. Never before has anyone regulated Congress. But it's about time. MYSTERY IS SOLVED MANITOWOC. Wis.

Capital Report Udall seeking to fortify himself with new chief by hiring press secretary By A. Robert Smith Bulletin Staff Writer WASHINGTON-Interior Sec retary Stewart Udall is bring ing in a new press secretary, his third in three years, this time a Texan and former aide to President Lyndon B. John son. The change Is an apparent ef fort by Udall to fortify himself politically with the new chief executive. His new aide will be Charles Boatner, a former city editor of the Fort Worth Star Telegram who joined Johnson's staff after Johnson became vice president. The outgoing press secretary, It's Another World Student guilt should be beyond doubt By Elliabeth Chenoweth Teachers have a great influ ence on teenagers. This Is be cause teachers are around us all day, five days a week. Thus teenagers are mildly brain washed almost every day. To begin with, a teacher teaches us the rules by which one is supposed to exist in school. Of course every teach er has a different set of rules, but this is of little importance. All the student has to do is change his habits with every class. Now no teacher would be complete without his lectures to the class on how we should con centrate on the present and pre pare for the future. They al ways give the student a little talk that goes somewhat as follows. "Now I know exactly what you people feel, because I was just like you. I didn't do very much studying and was a regular 'smart-aleck'. For this reason I know exactly why you act like you do. Now that I've grown up I know that I should have gotten more out of school." While the teacher has made this practically daily dec laration, one of the students has probably been talking. The teacher, seeing this, usually turns red in the face, goes over to him, pounds him on the head, and kicks him out of class. Of course, this shows that the teacher has complete under standing of teenagers. Also aft er getting practically the same speech from almost every teacher one begins to wonder if all teachers were juvenile de linquents at one time and had to become teachers. One of the greatest freedoms here in the U.S. is that a man is innocent until proven guilty. I am beginning to wonder if this just applies to the adult class. After being taught in school of this great freedom in our law, one finds that in school one Is guilty until proven innocent. When one is late for school and Is sent to get a slip that will get him in his class, one Is im mediately asked in a terrifying tone of voice, "Why were you late?" This of course causes one's courage to melt. Then when one tries to explain why one was late, one's voice sounds so guilty that the teach er starts turning red. Now the teacher has already decided you're guilty of hooky. The teacher gives you a lecture that makes you want to fade away or crawl into a comer. Maybe this Is a good way to keep stu dents from skipping, but is this an example of how teachers practice what they praach? Now I am not completely acainst teachers. In fact. I like them, but everyone has their faults. Remember: Practice what you preach in every way, unless you want to end up in my column soma day! James N. Faber of Seattle, is planning to return to the public relations business on the Pacif ic Coast. His departure report edly is by mutual consent. It has been in the works for some time. Faber was hired by Udall in August, 1961, after Udall had come under fire for a faux pas here and there which some ad ministration officials blamed his first press secretary for. So out went C. Herschel Schooley, whom Udall had inherited from his predecessor, Fred Seaton. Schooley subsequently was hir ed by the conservative Texas senator, John Tower, which sug gests the ideological gap be tween Schooley and Udall, who is most liberal. Whether Faber was instru mental or not, Udall soon man aged to avoid the sort of trou ble he seemed to invite in his early months in the cabinet. But Faber said he only wish ed to stay two years. In mid November, before President Kennedy's death, he set his own date for leaving and recom mended two possible candidates for the job, one of whom was Boatner. After Johnson became Presi dent, Udall determined that Boatner was ably suited for the job for reportedly Johnson has not been altogether pleased with Udall's performance as In terior Secretary, a condition which a Johnson man on his personal staff might help to remedy. One version of Udall's current situation is that Johnson be lieves he has been preoccupied with outdoor recreation prob lems and consequently has not made the most of the more tra ditional New Deal conservation programs In such fields as pub lic power, irrigation, mining and Indian affairs. Udall has probably said more on the need for more parks, such as at Oregon Dunes, and other recreation facilities than all these other topics combined. He even wrote a book recently published entitled "The Quiet Crisis" about his concerns in FORGIVE AND FORGET LONDON (UPI) - Mandy Rice-Davies, a central figure in the Profumo scandal, said to day she invited former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and former War Minister John Pro fumo to her New Year's Eve party. "It's time to let bygones be bygones," she said. this area. It may be that Johnson has not forgotten how Udall took the Arizona delegation away from Johnson and lined then up for Kennedy before the I960 Democratic convention, a small coup which helped Kennedy take the nomination from John son on the first ballot. But reportedly Johnson thinks Udall has not been strong enough in the traditional New Deal resource areas. If so, it may reflect the difference be tween Kennedy and Johnson in this policy area. Johnson, as a young New Deal congressman from The Texas plains, became an early adherent of public power dams, rural electrification and irriga tion. Kennedy, as a Boston con gressman, often voted against such programs; when he later advocated them as president, It was not with the same all-out zeal that characterized the Roosevelt-Truman approach. When Udall disappointed pub lic power groups in the past several years, it didn't hurt him at the White House, for he was properly representing his chief's point of view. On the whole, however, Kennedy and Udall showed greater sympathy for public power than -for the private utilities, notably in ad vocating the Hanford atomic power project which Kennedy broke ground for last fall In his first visit to the Pacific North west. Any changes at Interior to re flect Johnson's outlook will doubtless be changes of em phasis that will be gradual and subtle, as far as the public Is concerned, but signs of change can be expected.
