Optimist and Pessimist
There's a wry little story going the rounds
about the difference between an optimist and a
pessimist.
An optimist, it says, learns to speak Russian.
A pessimist, it adds, learns to speak Chinese.
This not-very-funny remark reflects the opin
ion of a growing number of people that, while
Russia is our No. 1 national foe today, Red China
will be tomorrow and will constitute a far worse
danger to western civilization than Russia.
VklE ALSO know a man who is convinced that
within the next few years Russia and the
United States once again will be allies forced
into it by the increasing threat of a strong, grow
ing, amoral Red China, imbued with the idea
that war is the only method whereby communism
can achieve its objectives.
Our friend mav be rijrht.
And it is with this in mind that recent dis
patches from Bucharest, tellinc of the widening
guit between MiKita Knrushchev and the Red
Chinese over K s insistence on following his "co
existence" plans, have a special significance.

to believe by Red propaganda.
Phil Newsom, foreign editor of the United
Press International, commented on this subject
tne otner aay as ronows :
"London observers predict the Ideological struggle
between Moscow and Peiplng will get worse before it
gets better. Red China's Mao Tse-Tung is not ready to
bow to Nikita Khrushchev's dictate that Moscow will
be the sole interpreter of Marx and Lenin, and will
look to the die-hards in the Kremlin and East Europe
for support of the old Idea that war between Socialism
and Capitalism is inevitable. However, both sides will
try to avoid a formal rift which would be In the in
terest of neither Moscow nor Peiping. The deep-seated
rift may account for some wild swings in Communist
policy during the coming months."
. . . -i - . .
I7ROM our standpoint, the development and
further widening of
aitnough it would also be fraught with dangers.
A real, honest-to-goodness break-up between
the giants of international Communism certainly
wouia increase world tensions, and probably
would increase the chances of war.
Khrushchev's motives are inscrutable, and we
have eveiy right every duty to be deeply sus
picious of them.
But it is at least possible that he finds him
self supporting "peaceful co-existence" with the
west simply because of his fear of Red China's
growing power and growing intransigence.

Living standards are rising. So is the Soviet's
economic power. It can be

Caught in this dilemma with a hostile and
fearful, but still potent, west on one side, and a
rising tide of raw power on the other Khrush
chev may indeed be seeking a left-handed ac
commodation with the west.

What Course for Us?
So, if the above speculation turns out to have
some basis to it and even if it doesn't what
must the U.S. do? We must:
1. Remain strong militarily, until a firm and
enforceable disarmament
Kea tnina, can De worked out.
2. Retain and strengthen our alliances.
3. Use every means

fNE of the most important of these means, it

an understanding with an enemy if you're talk

And we should use the United Nations.
Despite all its failings, all its faults, all its
weaknesses, the U.N. is the one available inter
national forum today. By bypassing it, as we
have increasingly in the last few years, we have
passed up one of the most effective means of
getting our point of view across to friend, enemy
and neutral alike.
"NE other potent way to work for a peaceful
world is to assist and encourage the develop

Imaginative and thoughtful employment of
foreign aid and technical assistance offered in
a genuine spirit of helpfulness; not in a crass
spirit of "buying friends" will do more for
ultimate peace than most people can imagine.

No Santa Clous
To the Editor: Some of
your readers are asking,
"What is the difference be
tween the two political par
ties since both are interested
in the general welfare of our
citizens?" Wide disagreement
occurs in the method of
achieving this goal.
Democrats want us to trans
fer responsibility from our
selves to the group. They
want everything to bear the
label, "Made in Washington."
They want power and author
ity to center there, they want
more and more governmental
restrictions, regulations, and
interventions.
Republicans believe that
freedom's greatest privilege
is individual responsibility,
and that with every step in
government assistance there
is a corresponding lessening
of this individual sense of re
sponsibility.
it should be plain to see
that too much dependence on
Washington d 1 s c o u rages
thrift, a quality on which
prosperity depends. Further
more, when you take away a
man's initiative and independ
ence, you take away what is
essential to character build
ing. We cannot help our citi
zens by having Washington
do for them what they could
and should do for themselves
and at a great saving in costs.
The Republicans want to con
serve the system of free
markets and private initiative
as the best means yet discov
ered to insure a sound, grow
ing economy. What has been
the result during the last sev
en years? The highest stand
ard of living the world has
ever known.
As soon as Ike took office,
big business, with confidence
in the soundness of our fu
ture economy, made plans to
spend billions for expansion.
The greatest peace-time pros
perity on record resulted and
we are all getting our share.
Working people have found
jobs at record wages without
war. Farm land is bringing
record prices. Schools,
churches, parks, roads, in fact
everything shows the fruits
of this administration's sound
program.
Democratic candidates for
three decades have been buy
ing votes by squandering pub
lic money. They seem to have
succeeded in making voters
believe that they can give
mem an tney want and no
one will have to pay the bill
This approach is neither real
istic nor honest, yet it gets
votes and that is why you
hear it every day during
campaign. These self-styled
clear that it is the public
purse wnn wnicn they are
liberal. We must beware lest
they sweep away our nation
al wealth to the point where
there is no longer the abili
ty to borrow, maintain nation
al defense, or even to keep
up our present charity pro
gram. The Republicans have lost
elections because they have
chosen the sound but diffi
cult way, rather than tiromise
to stoop to Santa Claus meth
ods that would harm and im
pede this nation for genera
tions to come. This is the par
ty that deserves the whole
hearted support of everyone
who loves his country. '

children in over crowded
households, or alone in un
sanitary fire traps, eating just
what their meagre incomes
can afford. Soon they are
suffering from malnutrition,
some get so weak they even
die alone and are found days
later.
We know that thousands
of persons over the age of 65
depend entirely on Old Age
Assistance, average gross in
come is $99.33 monthly. A
recent Housing Authority sur
vey in parts of our state re
vealed that more than 75 per
cent of these elderly persons
are living in dwellings that
are sub-standard, in violation
of one or more codes relating
to safety, sanitation, health
and decency!
Due to inadequate housing,
some of these people who are
ambulatory but able to take
personal care of themselves
are taken to nursing homes,
which is a drain on small sav
ings, their families and public
welfare for expensive care.
And there are people in re
tirement homes who should
be in nursing homes.
We know it is cheaper for
group living. For example,
one person with $100 can't
afford rent, food, and heat,
besides medications, but if a
group could get together and
pool their $100 monthly in
come, eat in a common dining
room, each could have his
own room and privacy, or
join the group in a general
lounge, T.V. and recreation
room. There is really no need
to spend the twilight years
alone, underfed, unclean, un
loved and unwanted, or with
dreadfully ill persons.
There are licensed retire
ment homes in our locality
which are periodically in
spected, and qualified to care
for older folk in the smaller
income bracket.
Older folk dread having to
leave their homes, which is
natural after years of hard
work and saving for their re
tirement years, only to be
crowded in with sick or in
compatible companions and
forgotten by the outside
world.
We need our senior citizens,
as much as they need us. As
long as medical science is pro
longing life for our older peo
ple and industry refuses to
hire new workers after they
reach the ripe old age of 45,
there just must be provision
made for their care. Compare
the many who cannot with
the few who can afford to
buy into the magnificient
manors being built for the
wealthy.
What are we going to do
about the many? In our civili
zation are they to live their
twilight years in squalor?

Now, mind you, all of this
has happened after eight
years - after the investment
of several billions of dollars
of money - and without re

To the Editor: The U. S.
has set a new record, accord
ing to CBS commentator Paul
Harvey; the U. S. ' has the
greatest number of jail in
mates per thousand inhabi
tants of all modern world
countries, which Is 176 for
every one hundred thousand
population.
An old adage back in the
"good old days" of the 1890s
read like this: "Why get into
prison when there is more
room on the outside?"
Yes we are living in a
speeded up and planned econ
omy of many facets and com
binations. In the day of rug
ged individualism, there were
but few civil laws, like in the
old West each man was more
or less his own law and most
infractions of the law were
settled without much com
ment, delay of justice or fan
fare. It is a fact the world is a
much better place to live in
today, regardless of all its
short-comings and blundcr
ings. The upward process of
evolution is slow but progress
seems to transcend all things,

Attitude in
bility for Venezuela's long
history of dictatorships and
her present economic difficul
ties to the United States and
to U.S. business in Venezuela.
The speaker was Prof. D.
Lopez Orihuela, a leader of
the Republican Democratic
Union party which is one of
three in Venezuela's leftist
leaning government coalition.
Specifically, he was attack
ing the U.S. interests which
developed Venezuela's rich oil
industry.

sarily universal in Venezuela,
nor was the "Yanqui go home"
sign scrawled on a wall of

A "nixie light," I have just
learned, is a device used on
an electronic brain. To me, it
is symbolic of the darkness
that is falling over the Eng
lish language.
For a long time, I have had
the feeling that our old de
mocracy was developing a
class system based not on so
cial orders but on lingual dis
orders that are dividing us
into uncommunicative camps.
Already we have seen the
civil and military branches of
our government break away
from the central language and
move into the suburbs of ba
bal. More recently, our teen
agers have been staging se
mantical street riots designed
to overthrow the mother
tongue.
Now I note that verbal
gangrene has begun to infect
the business world. I noted
this in a booklet just publish
ed by the Minneapolis-Honeywell
Regulator Co., which
seems to be having trouble
conversing with some of its
customers.
In days past, the company
explained, instrument lingo
was comparatively simple,
composed of such terms as
"proportional action," "three
mode control" and "frequen
cy response.
Then along came automa
tion and it began to run into
terms like "transfer func
tion," "transient state" and
"sinusoidal," which sounds to
me like an inflammation of
the nasal passages.
Automation Dictionary
To help get over these
road blocks, the company
brought out an "automation
dictionary" and for awhile
everything ran along fine.
But lately, it said, it has been
getting "a large number of
blank stares from our old
friends."
The lines of communication
began getting clogged upon
the introduction of electronic
brains in the instrument field.
Up sprang a new language
barrier called "computerese."
The company has attempt
ed to overcome this obstacle
by publishing a booklet con
taining a glossary of compu
terese" terms. It was here
that I ran across the "nixie
light," as well as the "trans
ducer," the "radix" and the
"binary digit."

There are few indications

He was a former secretary of

Missiles Due for

its air defense plans in a move
that will deploy nuclear-tipped
Nike Hercules antiair
craft missiles around seven
metropolitan areas.
The areas are on the East
and West Coast and the north
central part of the country.
The missiles previously had
been earmarked to protect
seven Strategic Air Command
bases and the city of Hanford,
Wash., site of an atomic ex
plosives plant.
Under the new plan, they
will be used to help defend
Washington-Baltimore, Phila

Chicago, San Francisco and
Los Angeles against possible
bomber attack.
Each of the areas already
has some Nike-Hercules missiles.

grandiose plans for the future
by itself.
Private investment is a
necessity, and the United
States is the natural supplier.
Even Venezuelan Com
munists, vocal under the gov
ernment's free-swinging con
cept of democracy, join in
promising protection for for
eign investments to work
alongside government - owned
petro-chemical, steel, oil and
power projects.
Caracas today suffers from
a depression. Oil rigs stand
idle in the fields and the po
tential loss of the Cuban mar

poses a further danger.

room.
VjrHY the walkout?
' John M. Hightower,
one of the AP's top diplomat
ic experts, puts it like this:
"A major purpose of Zor
in's action is clearly to put
fresh pressure on the U. S.
and its allies to yield to the
Soviet views on disarmament
and CUT THEIR DEMANDS
FOR AN IRONCLAD POLIC
ING SYSTEM."
Hightower adds:
"At the same time, Russia
probably hopes, by increasing
anxieties on the Western side,
to SPLIT THE ALLIES. Bri
tain has generally been more
willing than the United States
and France to meet Soviet de
mands with concessions." -
QUESTION:
Is the walkout bad?
Or is it good?
T ET'S be realistic.
- The grave danger in dis
armament is that SOME
BODY WILL HIDE OUT A
GUN. As long as Russia lays
its ears, bares its teeth and
flatly refuses to accept a po
licing system, we must as
sume that RUSSIA IS PLAN
NING TO HIDE OUT A GUN.
So
Until Russia proves her sin
cerity by accepting a policing
system with powers sufficient
to enable it to detect the hid
ing out of guns we must re
fuse to go along with a dis
armament program that fails
to include a fool-proof polic
ing system. To do otherwise
would be to doom ourselves
in advance to the probability
of destruction.
That's about the long and
the short of it.
