Why Were They Born
In Louisiana, a new law has shut offwElfare
to needy if they have had illegitimate children
while they are on the welfare roles. This was
reputedly to answer the standard contention that
"loose" women disport themselves while on the
dole, at public expense.
The law is having a terrible effect on mother
and children alike. Youngsters are passing out
with hunger in welfare offices, pleading for food
which the law withhold
In Oregon, it is urged that illegitimate chil
dren be made wards of the courts. Some feel
this substitution of a statute book for the warmth
of mother love will cure women from having
bastard children.
L; '
'FHESE are two instances of a growing trend
an old trend but a growing one nevertheless
to punish children for their parents' having
given in to the desires of the flesh without bene
fit of wedlock.
The fact that illegitimacy is more prevalent,
or at least unhidden, among the poor of any
society, and among those least able to make their
way no matter what the conditions of their propa
gation, drives the good-people wild with anger.
There must, they feel, be some connection be
tween being on welfare and sin !
So they take it out on the children, by mak
ing them social outcasts, or by starving them to
death, or by making them wards of the court
so their parents can't try to be parents to them,
or by any other kind of device by which we can
brand them forever, as punishment for having

land to one of those shabby and saddening dem
onstrations of collegiate bigotry last week.
In national convention at the Sheraton hotel,
the errand council of the
barely legal, clearly dishonorable "way out" for
those chapters faced with expulsion from college
campuses because of racial restrictions on mem
bership. The Portland amendment to Sigma Nu's mem
bership rules would permit certain chapters to
appeal to a high council of five national officers
for a waiver of the restrictions based on race,
color, creed or national origin. The high council
may grant the waiver only if the chapter is up
against a regulation of law which threatens its
very existence.
THE Sigma Nu fraternity boys showed an obvi
mi a volnnf QMn in m olr r atan f Vi l a fnnnoccirtn
to racial tolerance, human decency and the broth
erhood of man.
Kichard Fletcher, Lexington, Va., executive
secretary, said the fraternity could not force uni
versities to respect "our constitutional rule, but
we trust the members' judgment as to what will
keep the fraternity intact."
So Sigma Nu, the nation's fourth largest fra
ternity, is modifying its membership restrictions,
but not its racism. The leaders of the organiza
tion trust that their brothers now and in the future
will be properly nurtured in bigotry and will not
be so indiscreet as to propose a Negro or an Ori
ental for initiation into the elite.
AS a voluntary association, good old Sigma Nu
" has a right to select new members on any
basis desired by the group, subject to the prior
right of universities to regulate campus organiza

Flight of Industry
To the Editor: A reader of
M.T. sends us an excerpt from
the Congressional Record
and asks us to write a letter
to the Editor on same. The
item being quite long, we
must paraphrase the gist.
The substance is from a
speech by Congressman Jim
Wright from Texas. He hoists
a storm signal for small busi
ness craft on economic waters.
A warning to American small
business. He fears that our
economic system and business
enterprise is in danger of
foundering. In fact he points
out that our great industrial
enterprises, like rats on a
watcrlogRed ship, are leaving
the derelict and swimming to
safety in foreign lands, where
they are setting up snop in
greener pastures, this long
grass being a third and better
of labor cost, the labor cost
being but a third of ours.
Now it is the opinion of this
writer that thinking people
should consider the implica
tion of this situation. Where
and what Is our situation ex
cept a cozy spot behind the
eight ball?
This data was compiled by
economist George Burger Jr.
at the request of Mr. C. Wil
son Harder, president of the
National Federation of Inde
pendent Business. It is a mot
ly parade of American Big
Business. It ranges from as
pirin to autos. (The aspirin is
for the American automobile
Industry). Here is a partial
list of the goods and commodi
ties that are being imported
that plague American pro
ducers: it ranges from kitch-
enware to cameras, clothing
to chemicals, sewing machines
to stainless steel, office ma
chinery to oil, cars to carpets,
bicycles to bull dozers, furni
ture to farm machinery, drugs
to doodads, plywood to putt
ing clubs. On and on, the list
is endless. Even printing
presses and perambulators.
These factories are being
bought and bargained for,
built and leased from Briton
to Belgium, Sweden to Switz
erland, Germany to Japan,
Brazil to France, Argentina
to Chile; Italy and Scotland,
Mexico, Latin America and
Spain, South Africa and Aus
tralia. Wherever the sun
shines on free soil, American
Industrialists arc setting up
heavy artillery to bombard
the American market.
The tide has turned. We
arc on the defensive. If 'the
trend continues American
skill and "know how" will be

Plan for Peace
To the Editor: It has hap
pened before, and may occur
again, that an obscure citizen
comes up with an idea that
catches on like wildfire. Be
ing a born optimist, your cor
respondent Is confident that
soon we shall witness a great
and dramatic movement for
peace, generated by the com
mon people of America.
Three key united States
senators were approached on
this subject, but that was a
mistake. It should be stimu
lated by a grass roots drive
that would convince skepti
cal Soviet leaders of the sin
cerity ot ordinary citizens of
America praying for peace In
our time.
This suggested plan is the
most practical, sensible, and
realistic proposal yet made
to win the hearts and minds
of the men and women of a
potentially dangerous foreign
power.
Men-ace
In brief, here is my sugges
tion: That our government pay
for a tour of the United States
by 100,000 Russians a year
every year for five years.
My thought is to go over
the heads of the rulers of
Soviet Russia directly to the
Russian people; the toilers
the students in schools and
universities; store clerks, of
fice and transportation work
ers. ' The mad race between So
viet Russia and the United
States to match missile with
missile, rocket with rocket
and satellite with satellite,
can lead only to trouble, even
bankruptcy. At an expendi
ture of approximately $100,
000,000 a year for five years,
to gain the good-will of 100,
000 Russian visitors, and
through them millions of their
countnymen, we can stave off
disaster.
Does the cost bother you?
What of the alternative: ar
maments; perhaps war, de
structive and chaos?
A few thousand American
tourists to Russia, and a like
number of Russians to this
country, can hardly lead to a
better understanding between
us, because they are too few
in number. We must invite
them en masse to see and
learn at first hand the kind
of people we are. Otherwise,
we will face a half-century of
tension and hostility the
cold war.
Should the Russian dicta
tors oppose this plan, it would
put them on the defensive,
with the difficult task of ex
plaining to their own people
their reasons for opposing it.

To the Editor: My hat is
off to Councilmcn Van Sickle
and Bradford in at least try
ing to do what was right on
the city of Medford's radio
bids. The people of Medford
should have more like them.
I realize the council was
within its legal rights in ac
cepting a higher bid, but the
reasons given for such a de
cision were based on, for the
most part, misinformation.
Maintenance costs arc com
parable whether the equip
ment is Motorola, G.E., .RCA
or Bendix, just to name a few.
With the new equipment
and proper maintenance the
chances ot a failure are very
unlikely, although not impos
sible. With all the checks be

It is true that the city was

1963 under the license of KOB

Think and Be Free
To the Editor: Communists
know the weaknesses of man
kind but they do not know
the power of God. If there are
enough righteous people In
the world to do His will, Com
munism will fail miserably. If
not, civilization will fail by
destroying Itself.
Communism can't win, for
God alone is Almighty. Their
seeming progress is made be
cause not enough free people
are thinking and acting. Too
many are selfishly living only
for themselves. They can't
seem to see the hopeless web
they arc entangling themselv
es in. They refuse to consider
what the future must bring.
Peace with freedom, happi
ness and well-being for all the
world could be had if people
would think. God has thought
out the answers. They are all
out there in the cosmos wait
ing to be dialed in to thinKing,
praying, meditating minds.
But tve seem to be afraid to
think. We take millions of
dollars worth of tranquilizers
so we can't think.
Where but from God did
the Idea of electricity come?
And didn't it take years of
thinking by dedicated men to
bring It in? Atom power was
given to mankind because
there were those who were
willing to spend years of their
lives thinking each step out.
Just so is there a way to bring
peace and goodwill to the
earth. But that will take dedi
cation of ALL the people. We
can never hope for right to
win if we refuse to think and
do our part to establish right.
We cannot afford to let a few
do our thinking. The power
we thus grant them, corrupts
them and we soon cease to be
free. We are free to think, let
uj think and be free.

It has been only eight years

not proper subjects for debate
and ought to be approached.
if we simply must approach
them, with the greatest pos
sible reserve.
e
rpHERE is much to be said
-- in these matters, for s
creative quiet. No one who
writes politics can doubt that
the more efforts are made to
put down "the religious is
sues" the more they continue
to rise.
And whenever and where
ever attempts are made to
describe in dramatic terms a
"Catholic vote," a "Jewish
vote," a "Protestant vote," an
instant if unintended disserv
ice is done to the whole elec
toral system.
To begin with, every such
attempt lays down as an lm
plied fact a premise that is
doubtful to start with: that
there are decisive blocs which
more or less infallibly will
vote, regardless of the proper
and measurable public issues
of which any campaign is
surely full enough, solely on
private religious views.
npHIS is by no means auto-
- matically true. It may be
come true, however, if there
is ceaseless agitation tending
to set one religious group
against another - to say in
effect: "Look, you Protestants
(or Catholics or Jews), what
those other fellows are doing.
They are all lining up to
gether. Hadn't you better do
the same?
To be sure, every political
observer knows there are
some religionists who will
thus act automatically. But it
does not follow that all, or
anything like all, will auto
matically do the same. For
Protestants, Jews, Catholics
are just people - rich, mid
dling, poor; Democrats and
Republicans; pro-labor union
and anti-labor union; pro-farm
subsidy and anti - farm sub
sidy; pro - additional civil
righs legislation and anti-ad-
ditional civil rights legisla
tion. An affecting war memory
is of the vast and true and un-
selfconscious tolerance that
came upon all fighting men in
outfits made up of every kind
of religion. This was not
brought about by constantly
talking about how different
were these religions. It was
brought about by letting the
subject alone and treating it
tor what It is - a strictly per
sonal one.
e e e
rPHESE men were there to
do one Job, to fight to
gether. The American voters
have one job now: to elect
president to handle the public
business - not either because
of or in spite of the fact that
he is a Protestant or a Catho
lic. Any other voting motive
is unworthy - and unfair to
both candidates.
This correspondent has
known long and well both
Democratic candidate Ken
nedy and Republican candi
date Nixon and also their run
ning mates. It is my deep con
viction that none of them
wants these so-called religious
issues to be hashed over day
and night. All would be happy
li tne topic could be filed and
forgotten.
That, of course, is too much
rationally to hope. But per
haps one could hope that
everybody concerned will go
a little easier on this thing.
For whoever wins this elec
tion will desperately need to
be backed by a true unity
Irom a diverse people - and
so will the country need just

Modern American political
history suggests that an in

election enjoys a real advan
tage over the challenger who
seeks to put him out. Roose
velt's 1932 triumph over
Hoover was an exception.
After 1932, the president in
office - the champ - licked
the challenger in each succeed
ing election, through 1948. The
most recent presidential
election -1952 - when neither
candidate was in the White
House, was affected by very
special circumstances.
The candidates were Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, a Re
publican, but also a national
hero, East, West, North and
South; and Democratic Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois.
Compared to the glamorous
World War II general, Steven

West's Tiny Tobacco;
Farm Ineligible
For Crop
By DICK WEST
Washington - (UPD - The
Brown 4t Williamson Tobac
co Corp. has been sending out
ft'"j'ilfl tobacco seeds
and miniature
plan ters as
part of a cig
arette promo
tion cam
paign. When I re
ceived one of
these kits, I
placed it in
the k 1 1 c h en
window s oit would get plenty
of sunlight and be near a wa
ter supply for irrigation pur
poses. Nothing has happened yet,
but if all goes well I ought
to get my first crop sometime
this winter. I had in mind
selling the tobacco back to
the company, or perhaps trad
ing it for a pack of cigarettes.
But after checking into the
situation further, I have con
cluded that about the only
way I can profit from the ven
ture is to roll my own. -
Under Price Supports
Tobacco, I found, is one of
the crops under the govern
ment price support program.
This cheered me at first, for
it presumably meant I would
be guaranteed a tidy little
sum when I marketed my har
vest. The trouble is, in order to
qualify for price supports I
will need an acreage allot
ment. The way these allot
ments are controlled, I stand
about as good a chance of
qualifying for the 1964 Olym
pics. There is, to be sure, a pro
vision . in the price support
law authorizing the Agricul
ture department to issue new
allotments. x
In order to qualify, I would
need at least two years ex
perience growing the type of
tobacco for which an allot
ment is sought. That automat
ically rules me out, one rea
son being that I am not cer
tain what type of tobacco I
am growing.
Crop of 24 Inches
Moreover, I would have to
live on and work the land
covered by the allotment and
gain at least 50 per cent of
my livelihood from it. Since
my present crop covers about

high political office. The last
such choice was in 1928 and if
today's voter missed that eleo j

There's a man in this office
who is within that age group.
He is convinced that, because
of the foregoing, this election
will be somehow and impor

the candidates get away to a
fairer start as is the case this

campaigns from the White

Perhaps our man is right

I can, of course, sell my"
tobacco without an allotment
but I woijd have to pay a
stiff penalty for doing so. If
I sold a pound for 58 cents;
the government would fine
me 45 cents. I can make more
than that using my window
ledge for petunias.
Anyway, I thank Brown &
Williamson for sending me
the seeds and planter. It's
been an enlightening expert,
ence. But next time they dis
tribute something, I hope it
will be cigars.
