' A Book Review--I
. - 'The Blue Book of the John Birch Society, by
Robert Welch. No publisher nor price listed, paper-
back, typewritten
graphy.
This is an astounding book. An evangelical
book.' An idealistic book. A practical book. A
book of unbelievable contrasts. And, it must be
added, a profoundly and deeply shocking book.
With various prefaces, introductions and post
scripts aside, it consists of a series of lectures de
livered in December, 1958, to a group of 11 men
in Indianapolis, by its author. Robert Welch,
which constituted the origin of the John Birch
Society, so much in the news in recent days. .
The book, and the Society, had their birth in
fear fear of the "Communist Conspiracy." It
(and the. Society, too, presumably, -for the JJlue
Book ia not only a blueprint for action, but also
a statement of philosophy, rationale, and ways
and means.) , believe that unless something is
done; the Communist take-over is very near.
"THE book cannot possibly be adequately re
viewed in the space
of 182 pages, and on almost every page is a para
graph or sentence, that begs for comment.
There is much in the book, as a matter of fact,
that any, loyal patrloc American can agree with,
wholeheartedly. There are broad, sweeping gen
eralizations about truth and God and patriotism:
there are poetic quotations scattered liberally
throughout; there are proclamations or mgn ana
noble purpose. :
But the book is so obviously obsessive, so
patently based on a weird twisting of history and
contemporary events, so clearly the result of the
hatreds and fears of one

Foreign aid is a communist plot. So is nation

scare the American people.) So were the study
reports whicli showed increasing concern over
growing Soviet military strength. It says:
; " . . Although our danger remains almost entirely

IN WELCH'S view, we are losing the cold war.
He makes many mentions of Communist suc
cesses; none of" the successes of the free world.'
And our losses are not so much the result of inter
national power politics as they are the result of
betrayal in places , high and low. ' '

and its attendant moralitv. At least "one-third of
the services in at least tne Protestant churches"
are assisting this cancer, Welch declares, "And
some actually use their pulpits to preach outright

the legislative halls, all of the union labor meet
ings, a majority of the religious gatherings, and
most of the schools of the whole world," nistory
is not on their side, Welch states, in one of his
rare bursts of optimism.
. But it must be fought with any and eveiy
means at hand. And he outlines them:
Reading rooms for anti-communist literature;
promoting right-wing ultra-conservative maga
zines, and radio and TV commentators (like
Dan Smoot) of the radical right; "the powerful
letter-writing weapon that lies so readily to hand"
(to. editors, among others) on a planned and
"ordered" basis; the organization of "fronts
little fronts, big fronts, temporary fronts, per
manent fronts, all kinds of fronts ; start shock
ing the American people ("The best way to do
this is by exposure, which is why the Communists
just had to get rid of McCarthy, and went to such
extreme lengths 'jto do so" . . . "We would run
in the magazine an article consisting entirely of
questions to this man, which would be devastating
in their implications. The question technique,
when skillfully used in this way is mean and
dirty . . .") ; tne heckling of suspected speakers;
providing speakers for church clubs, P.T.A.S, etc. ;
international activities; political action.
THERE is no sissy-like compunction about truth,
or honor, or decency, or the American right of
free speech, or the presumption of innocence un
til guilt is proven, or any other such nonsense.
No indeed. If a man thinks other than the
way you do, smear him; and don't fuss about the
niceties. This is his implicit message. ,
Stoop to the communists' tactics, if necessary,
but do it in the name of a proud, moral, religious,
free America. ; ;

ing us. "Of course it's fantastic. But everything I
am talking is fantastic."

Handicapped Employed

of April 2 carried a report
written by Mr.' John W. Sin
ders, retiring chairman of the
Jackson County Committee
for the Employment of the
Physically Handicapped.
This report is very intereot
Ing to many of the members
of Camp White and no doubt
created some little speculation
among the many persons who
reside in Jackson county, who
although physically fit are
still not employed.
The objective of this, com
mittee are certainly worthy of
commendation.:
In his farewell tribute to his
committee, Mr. Slnders fails
somehow to give any actual
figures as to just how many
persons have been aided in
finding employment while in
a handicapped status, nor does
he offer the names ot the em
ployers, -who, he states "are
taking giant steps forward
with our handicapped pro
gram." - - .
: Mr. Slnders not being avail
able for comment I naturally
look to you as publisher of his
report to give us this informa
tion. ,
If you find it not ethical to
supply the names of these
firms, will you please give us
tne information in a broad
manner, such as lumber or
veneer plants, truck operators,
railroads, etc.

will be read with Interest.

Editor's note: During the
year 1960, jobs were found for
75 persons with physical
handicaps, representing about
25 per cent of those who had
registered with the state em
ployment office. This is con
sidered to be an unusually
good percentage, running
higher than the average in this
situation. Most of those em
ployed were placed In clerical
type jobs.
The Warren Family
To the Editor: After rend
ing L. C. Powell's rather
heated letter concerning Chief
Justice Warren, I am at a
loss to comprehend what all
the shouting is about.
Does he know, or have
proof of, his accusations? Or
is he simply accepting the
valuable words of Dan
Smoot?-a gentleman who, it
seems to me, hasn't a good
Word for anyone, regardless.
.ar be it from me to argue
the point with Mr. Powell or
Smoot or anyone else. It could
be true. I wouldn't know.
All I do know, is this:
That's a pretty serious charge
toward a man of Justice War
ren's standing. It particularly
concerns me, for the follow
ing reasons:
Approximately 10 years
ago, we lived and worked in
Sacramento, in the state civil
service, In the Capitol area.
We had many friends among
the state employees-It was,
I hasten to add, a friendly,
neighborly group, Including
the, at that time, Governor
Warren family.
Our Impressions of the War
rens, from the governor to
his wife and smallest child,
were of the best. They were
an excellent example of our
Idea of a good, "earthy," av
erage. American family and
home, which Is one of the
most essential needs of our
nation today: .
i" Americans will never be
any stronger than its homes,
and the devotion and sympa
thy, also love, expressed in
those homes. From what we
see, hear and read, ai a nation
of real homemakers, it's get
ting rather weak, to . say the
least.: .-, .... .
We knew- the Warren fam
ily quite well. They were as
warm and friendly, as good
neighborly, as one could ever
have. This thought is of par.
ticular concern to me today,
for exactly 10 years ago to
day we, and the Warrens, at
tended Easter Services there,
the most beautiful service of
my experience. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Warren sat there in tear
ful , quiet, as their lovely
daughter sang in, the choir;
however that day their baby
girl, Honey Bear, was serious
ly ill In the hospital. '
,A few days later I chanced
to pass the historical but ugly
old house-used as the Gov
ernor's mansion. The son was
in the back .yard. I . stopped
and inquired of his sinter. His
reply, "I don't know yet, but
would . you mind saying a
prayer for her?" 'L:
That's Hiy personal experi
ence with the Warren fam
ily. I'm a little Irked at those
accusations against' what
seemed to me a very fine
man, and I add, an excellent
and devoted father. If 'there
is proof unquestionable, no

surprised and deeply grieved.

Sad State of Affairs
To the Editor: A recent news
item stated that the U.S. Atty.
Gen. Kennedy is going to start
an investigation into all price
fixing. This action was, no
doubt, triggered by the recent
conviction of the Big-Wheels
of the Electrical Industry for
trying to Bilk Uncle Sam. '
, While not surprising, it is a
sad state of affairs, when com
panies of their financial sta
ture will stoop so low. Or has
big business lost all sense of
honesty and ethics? -? : ;
: Of course, most major. lines
of merchandise, both retail
and wholesale, are established
(fixed) by trade associations -or
the "Gentlemen's Agree
ment," and are followed quite
closely by members. This
practice might be termed a
fair trade method, but is
profiteering - on the small
buyer. This practice by the
big steel companies functions
like a cartel, and outwits the
anti-trust law.

business. It carries a price tag
of $2,553,000 for the next two
years. . - - '-' .
Dr. Leon P. Minear, state
superintendent of public in
struction, hailed the proposal
as "an upward extension of
public education."
The committee settled on a
policy of having the state pick
up the biggest part of the tab.
Along with the money bill,

iv, uanHarM Government,
In May is -was announced
that the Korean provisional
government and the U.S. aid
mission jointly would investi
gate waste and mismanage
ment of U.S. aid funds per
mitted by the Rhee regime.
Since 1952, U.S. aid, ex
clusive of military aid, had
been pumped into Korea at
the rate of about $200 million
a year. The United States paid
for South Korea's 600,000
man army. American military
aid for 1960 exceeded a quar
ter of a billion dollars.
This is the situation, then,
that preceded new economic
and technical aid agreements
signed Feb. 8 of this year:
" The agreements provided
on Union
ers fine. The notable trend of
the modern court, however,
has been to protect on such
questions the minority or in
dividual complaining of op
pression. '
The three justices .- were,
nevertheless, of the modern
court: Chief Justice Earl War
ren, Associate Justices Hugo
Black and WUliam O. Doug
las. . ... .
v. Georgia's Judge. Long's
oDinion said: "I find that part
of the dues and assessments
are used for the support of
political organizations' work
ing in support of candidates
for state and federal officers,
and also for principles and
doctrines which the plaintiffs
and the class they represent
do not care to support." .
He said the group's objective
was to "fight Communism"
and for that reason it should
not be labelled "ultra -conservative."
' , 1 "
The senator made it clear
he , would not embrace the
writings of Robert Welch, re
tired Massachusetts candy
maker- who founded the society.-
He commented that
Welch had "said some very
unfortunate things."
. But Goldwater could not
recall having once said, as
reported by Newsweek maga
zine, that the John Birch So
ciety should "get rid of Bob
Welch" and every other mem
ber demanding impeachment
of Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Magajine Satisfied
In New York a spokesman
said Newsweek was "fully
satisfied that Senator Gold
water's statement is accurate
as quoted in the m?.-;?.dne."
"I think every msn his a
right to say Warren should b-
impeached," Goldwater s?."d.
"But I don't agree with the
assumption, just as I don't
agree with a lot of Warren's
decisions."
Some members of Congress,
jolted by the anti-Warren
campaign and by a Welch ac
cusation that former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower was
pro-Communist, have bitterly
denounced the organization
and called for Its Investiga

The situation in Laos:
" At the eight-nation SEATO
meeting in Bangkok last
week, the U.S. and its allies
made it clear that they will
fight, if necessary, to stop a
communist take-over of Laos.
. At Jakarta, in Indonesia
(which leans generally to the
communist side) Communist
China's foreign minister Chen
Yi warned yesterday that if
SEATO (Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization) sends
troops into Laos then China
will also send troops.
In reply to a British plan
for an immediate cease-fire
in Laos, the Soviet Union Sat
urday suggested holding a
14-nation conference on the
political future of Laos and
agreed to join Britain In call
ing a cease-fire. However, the
Russians want to hold a con
ference whether or hot. the
fighting stops in Laos. '. V ,
WHAT the world needs is
somebody who can come
up with a proposal for getting
out of Laos that will ,be so
wise arid - so sound ana so
practical that nobody con.
cerned will dare to turn it
down and, at the same time,
so diplomatic that it will
SAVE EVERYBODY'S FACE.
What a . chance for a
TRULY GREAT character!

" The census bureau tells
us this morning that in 1950
there were 99 men and boys
for each 100 women and girls.
But, in 1960 there were only
97 men and boys for each
100 women and girls.
" And . '
The census sharps add .
' In 1960, there were 9.1 mil
lion women 65 and older and
only 7.5 million MEN 65 and
and older. ; ,

MEAR Hamilton, New York,
the other day, little Bar
bara Linsley, age 4, fell Into
an old well (with water at
the bottom) at. an abandoned
house where the family had
stopped for a look-see. ,
This happened:
Little Barbara HELD HER
BREATH when she went un-der-as
she had been TAUGHT
by her mother to do. Then
when she came to the surface
she took hold of a protruding
rocK in the we.-I s rock wall,-
as, previously.'Vshe had ' been
told by her; mother to do if
any such .thing ever happened
o :-er. ..- - i-'
I . C3nwhile, the mother sent
Eaitava's brother, age 6, run'
nlng for hem. Then, as she
had TAUGHT HERSELF to
do, she climbed 24 feet down
the well's rock wall, lifted
Barbara's head above water,
braced her back and feet
against the rocks of the .3Vi'
foot well's wall, and waited
f.oi help to come. I
T ITTLE David did his job
" well, as he had been
taught to do. He ran a half
mile at the top of his speed'
to the nearest house. There
was a telephone at the house.;
People phoned the nearest
fire department. The firemen
arrived in time and pulled tne
mother and daughter out,
shaken but otherwise OK. ;
THE moral? s ; ' :
Tf there worn trinre Mrs.'
Linsleys-wise, farsighted and
fully prepared to handle any,
emergency that might arise-:
there would be far less: trag-'
edy in the world. ; !
If Mrs. Linsley were KUN-'
NING this woria. there would.
be fewer messes like Laos. ;
