Who Is To Blame?
It was kind of a hair-raising story the Mail
Tribune printed on Page 1 yesterday, about the
man in convulsions who couldn't be admitted to
a hospital for about 2y2 hours.
' One's immediate reaction to it was "What if
he had died?" and "What if it had been me, or
one of my family?"
Something s wrong, somewnere, wnen a seri
ously ill man is denied hospitalization.
But we'd best not be too quick to point the
finger of blame, for it

There is room for criticism elsewhere tor

for not seeing that emergency care from a phy

The Medford Ambulance Service has a long

It's easier to wreck something than it is to

It's easier to tear a

It's easier to swear and complain about an
imperfect civic institution than it is to get in

It's easier to gripe about governmental ac

It's easier to kill rebels than it is to improve

It's easier to like and understand one s "own

It's easier to cut down a forest than it is to

It's easier to say "Who cares?" than it is to

future are predicated on "caring" what happens
to the less fortunate, the downtrodden, the underprivileged.
IF IT is easier to do these things, how does it
happen that the human race lias progressed
from savagery to a point where "caring' IS an

Matter of Fact sy
NIXON AND THE
RIGHTWINGERS
Washington - One of this
spring's most curious, and
least noticed, political events
was the an
nex ation of
the South Car
olina delega
tion to the Re
publican con
vent i o n by
Sen. Barry
Goldwater of
Arizona.
New York's
jnsrpil Al.KOP
A. Rockefeller has found Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
too formidable an opponent,
and has bowed out of the con
test for the Republican Presi
dential nomination. But Sen
ator Goldwater, the Republi
can party's most extreme
rightwinger above the crank
class, is at least going through
the motions of trying what
Rockefeller dared not try.
Go dwater's capture of ine
13 South Carolina delegates
was a neaUy executed foray.
It was carried out in the very
presence of Vice President
Nixon's unofficial field work
er, Lee Potter, the Southern
director of the Republican Na
tional Committee. Potter haa
gone into the state with some
warning ot trouble, dui sun
confidently expecting an en
dorsement of Nixon by the
state convention.
INSTEAD, the convention
. had been organizes in an-
vance for Goldwater by Roger
Milliken, a rich textile manu
facturer who was also tne
Senator's host on this occa
sion. Goldwater made one of
his fire-and-brimstone speech
es. The doors were closed. And
when they opened again, Gold-
water departed with the dele
gation in his satchel.
This bizarre episode is part
of a pattern, as the late Jo-
seDh R. McCarmy used to say.
Goldwater further nopes ior
a Favorite Son endorsement
from his own state. The Nixon
field workers will not be
caught half-napping in Arizo
na, as they were in bourn
Carolina. Yet It is unlikely
that Goldwater will be op
posed by Nixon on his home
grounds, because this would
seem high-handed. In North
Dakota, however, still anoth
er move to win convention
delegates for Goldwater was
opposed with complete suc
cess. In New Jersey, too, there
is another part of the pattern.
Here It appears in the extra
ordinary campaign for the Re
publican Senatorial nomina
tion that is being waged by
Robert Morris, Uie unappetiz
ing former counsel of the un
lamentcd McCarren Investi
gating Committee.
t LL Uie finely named crank
A organizations of the paleo
lithic right wing, such as For
America, and Americans for
rnnslilut onal Action, are
backing Morris against the
able and progressive nepuu
llcan incumbent, Sen. Clifford
Case. Judging by the lavish
nf television, miiooara ad
vertising, direct mailings, and
the like, the Morris campaign
is being lavishly financed by
funds collected all over the
country, from the type of rich
boob who seriously advocates
repeal of the income tax
amendment. Case is still back
ed to win, but Morris has at
least been making a dent in
New Jersey.
Over-all pattern shows a
convulsive effort to assert
themselves by the extremists
who Infest the right wing ot
the Republican party. In this
effort, although New Jersey
Senatorial primary is Impor
tant, the key factor is the
Goldwater Presidential candi
dacy. Not being out of his wits.
Goldwater of course does not
expect Arizona and South
Carolina to put him over the
top. But he certainly expecU,
and with reason, that his can
dldary will give him special
opportunities to tight any
middle-of-the-road or liberal'
li in mjani in J

izlng tendencies at the Repub
lican convention. In public
and in private, -too, he has been
warning the Vice president
against going "too far to the
left on such matters as meai-
cal care of the aged and aid
for education. The convention,
no doubt, will hear the same
warnings.
TIOR NIXON, this constitutes
" a serious though not over
whelming problem. It is a se
rious problem because Nixon's
own support has been rather
heavilv concentrated on the
right wing of the Republican
party. It matters to Nixon, for
instance, that Goldwater now
has established close links
with the powerful Chandler
clan, whose "Los Angeles
Times" regularly publishes a
column by the Arizona Sena
tor. As the Chandlers have
been Nixon's most important
supporters in Southern Cali
fornia, they are naturally in a
position to put some pressure
on him.
On the other hand, It Is
very clear indeed that Nixon
now intends, to resist such
pressures. He does not share
the Goldwater theory that Re
publicans lose elections be
cause Republican wishy-washl-
ness regularly causes count
less millions of opponents of
the Income tax amendment to
stav home and sulk every
election day. The Republican
image, if Nixon has anything
to do with it, is going to be a
moderate image.
But this, it is worth noting,
may lead to some trouble for
Nixon, at least among the
cranks,

Sunday, as we were tuned in
at 12:30 to the "Quiet Hour"
on a Medford station we were
a bit taken aback by some sta

In 1957, ten breweries in the
U.S. spent $70,000,000 on ad

hardly believe what I had

I am sure no wide-awake
business would spend that
amount if results were not ex

results, but I fear not the kind
of results many of us like to

Courage to Do
Tn the Editor: The timely
letter written by Mr. John E.
Gribble to the editor, Sunday,
"Where Are We?", surely pre
sents a noetic dilemma. Per
haps, since travelling almost
four generations through the
list of the nine listed steps in
the order set forth, before the
end of the cycle, is reached
"we haven't seen anything
yet!"
Some years ago an author
In Washington, D.C., wrote a
book in the form of a novel,
called, "The Vipers," and the
contents are Just as shocking
to read as the title o( tne
book sounds. Another author,
Mr. Mancly K. Hall of Los
Angeles, wrote a small
treatise, called "Facing the
Facts," In which he gives in
social and political essays ten
short solutions to combat the
"vicious circle" now entwin
ing the present civilization.
The solutions set forth, with
out using the utmost Intelli
gence, may not prove infalli
ble. Yet a courage to do, to
dare, will triumph. Remem

Mr. Nixon's Problem
Mr. Nixon, who does not
try to deceive himself, has
admitted publicly that "we
are in lor tne

lives." To be
elected he
needs to be,
as was Eisen

er than the

. party. He can
not hope to win if all he gets
are the regular Republican
votes. Yet it is not at all clear
how he is going to get enough
Democratic and independent
votes to put him ahead of
what his party can poll for
Congress and for the gover
norships. These hard facts have lea
to all the talk about his tak
ing a stand beyond Elsen
hower's on such vote-getting
measures as Federal aid to
education and medical care
for the aged.
As the President himself
put it the other day, he is
so fortunate" tnat ne aoesn i
have to go any further with
this thing" (i. e., being Presi
dent of the United States).
If, said the President, he him
self were running again, he
too "would be looking lor
new ways and directions.
Since It is Mr. Nixon who is
doing the running, Mr. Nixon
would be "very foolish" If
he did not look for new ways
and directions.
WHERE Is Mr. Nixon to
look for new ways and
directions? There is only one
place that he can look. That
is in the field already occu
pied- and pre-empted among
Republicans by Governor
Rockefeller. In matters of de
fense, of social welfare, and
of public finance, this field
Is also occupied by the Demo
crats. While the issue is sharp

Work to Avoid Split
With a deadline approach
ing July 1, Western leaders
are spending almost as much
time on this problem as they
are on preparations for the
East-West summit conference
in May.
It was the subject of wor
ried cabinet meetings in Bonn
and was a major topic for
President Charles de Gaulle
and Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan during the for
mer's current visit to London.
Concern also is felt in
Washington, both for the pos
sible effects on U.S. business
and the possibility that a plan
to unite Europe may actually
assist in dividing it for dec
ades to come.
Want Tariffs Cut
At the root of the concern
is a recommendation by the
executive commission of the
siv.nntion European common
market that internal tariffs be
cut 20 per cent on July 1,
with corresponding protective
barriers going up against non-
member nations.
Bitterly opposed are the na-
tlnna nf the Rival European
Free Trade Association. As
opposed to the "Inner Six" of
the ECM BlarKet, me mem
bers of the EFTA are known
as the "Outer Seven."
Tn the common market are
West Germany. France, Bel
gium, The Netherlands, Lux
embourg and Italy.
In the EFTA are Britain,
Sweden. Norway. Denmark,
Switzerland, Austria and Por
tuffal. The EFTA is strictly an
economic grouping set up as
a weapon against the common
market. The common market

It hoDed to abolish all tariff
and other barriers among the

THIS is not an easy prob
lem for Mr. Nixon to solve.
To begin with professional
politicians who control tne
leading Republican organiza
tions in the states were pow
erful enough to force Rocke
feller to withdraw. They are
not going to allow Nixon to
adopt many of Rockefeller's
ideas. For these professional
politicians, we must remem
ber, would rather lose the
election than lose with the
Nixon they know than win
with a quasi-Democrat like
Rockefeller.
They do not put it this
way. They rationalize their
extreme conversation and
their unpopularity by argu
ing, as they did when they
tried to prevent the nomina
tion of Eisenhower in 13Z,
that there is a great hidden
majority in the country. This
hidden majority consists of a
large number of people who
do not vote. They stay at
home because they are wait
ing for a Republican candi
date who belongs to tne ex
treme right.
Men like Senator Bridges
and Senator Goldwato. really
believe that the more the Re
publican party follows tneir
leadership, the more stay-at-home
Republican voters will
come to the polls.

rnHIS is an extraordinary
A fantasy, rather like that of
thirsty men In a desert wno
see mirages of green oasis
with plenty of water. Mr,
Nixon, we may be sure, does
not believe in this political
mirage. He knows that to win
the election he must win a
large part of the Eisenhower
Democrats and Eisenhower
independents. But in trying
to win them, he must be
careful not to drive . the
Bridges and the Goldwaters
into open rebellion.
One theoretical device for
solving his problem is to per
suade Governor KocKeieiier
to run for Vice-President.
The notion here is that while
reached, partly because of
French suspicions of British
motives and partly because of
Britain's own Comr onwealth
commitments.
Until recently the prospect
was for two sharply divided
economic corps in which, for
example British automobiles
shipped to West Germany
would pay an eignt per cent
higher tariff than similar
automobiles shipped from
France or Italy.
Now new. serious efforts
are being made at compromise
and to prevent the erection
of the new barriers wnicn

But I was amused, too, at the
way some of them cringed
and blanched when a sub

ed to turn the district 'back
to Maryland if they didn't

They vowed they would
rather be voteless than Mary
landers. On the other hand,
the subcommittee expressed
doubts that Maryland would
take them.
Nixon holds on to the votes
of the extreme right, Rocke
feller will rally the voters
towards the center and to
the left of center. This de
vice will not work, or at least
it ought not to work, if it
is tried, it will be exposed.
For it is a transparent trick
and American voters do not
take kindly to tricks that are

senhower philosophy a heavy
liability. For General Eisen
hower's conception of Fed
eral responsibility and the
public need is in growing con
flict with the realities of our
time. His philosophy does not
fit, indeed it stands in the
way of, an adequate Ameri
can response to the challenge
of the Soviet Union. His phi
losophy, moreover, is in col
lision with the imperaUve
needs of our highly indus
trialized, highly urbanized,
mass society.
Yet Mr. Nixon must defend
and profess to believe in the
Eisenhower philosophy, or he
may arouse the sharp dis
pleasure of the President him
self. At the same time, it is
impossible that Mr. Nixon

other reason than that he is
a young man who believes in
the present and not in the
very distant past.
TT IS here in the defense of
the Eisenhower philosophy
that Mr. Nixon's problem be
comes most acute. For he can
not be too clever about it or
he will be accused of being
tricky. He cannot ignore it
or throughout the campaign
he will be wholly on the de
fensive. Barring unforeseen devel
opments or an act of God, Mr.
Nixon's difficulties - which
arise from the contrast be
tween the reality and the
philosophy which he Inherits
will grow worse. This may
well be reflected in the polls
and if this happens, if the
polls become more and more
sinister, Mr. Roscoe Drum
mond may prove to have been
a true prophet when he said
on Monday that Governor
Rockefeller "is not to be
ruled out."
