DAY OS NIGHT PHONE SP 2 -030
Ask Us About the OREGON FUNERAL INSURANCE PLAN
which we heartily recornmend anrtendorse
It is our privilege to be as
silly or as exclusive or as
narrow as we like. What I
object to is calling this "free
dom of choice" or "freedom
of association." It is the ex
act opposite of these.
When a club arbitrarily
limits its membership to one
Kind of person, it is denying
itself freedom, rather than
granting it. It is cutting off
from possible membership all
those who, despite their high
personal qualifications, do not
have red hair, one leg and a
grandmother named Fortes-cue-Fortescue.
The members of an exclu
sive club actually have voted
away their own freedom of
choice. No matter how much
they may like and respect a
man named Steinberg or
Shaughnassy, they cannot as
sociate with him in the in
timacy of a club setting. They
might invite an Einstein to
talk to the group, but never
to join it. This is one reason
exclusive clubs are so infern
ally dull-sameness inevitably
leads to boredom.
It is also said by the pro
ponents of this archaic sys
tem that, after all, it is a
"social" club only, and there
fore no one is really hurt by
not being allowed to join for
reasons of ethnic or relig
ious differences.
But this, too, is a delusion
and a hyprocrisy. The city
club and the country club are
much more . than "social."
They are where business asso
ciations form and where deals
are made. A firm would be
mightly reluctant to hire an
executive who would not be
welcome in the city club or
the country club, for this
would be an unfair handicap
to business success.
As I say, we have a right
to be as. foolishly "selective"
as we like. But we will not
be grown up until our selec
tivity is on a personal basis.
Clubs should be as "aristo
cratic" as possible, in terms of
seeking the "best," but as
democratic as possible in seek
ing the best out of the widest
possible base of candidates.
To do less than this is to
make a mockery of the phrase
freedom of choice.
Minimum Wage
Battle Faces
Another Round
Washington -(UPD- Kennedy
Democrats today had the
weapon they wanted for their
second minimum wage battle
with House conservatives. It
was a. wage floor bill made
in the Senate .but designed
in the White House.
The Senate easily passed
Kennedy's $1.25 minimum
wage bill Thursday, 65-28.
Next week, a Senate-House
conference will seek common
ground between it and a $1.15
measure put through the
Hbuse last month by a Republican-Southern
Democratic co
alition. .
Something From Each'
The compromise was ex-
pected to be close to a whit-tled-down
administration bill
that the House conservative
bloc killed by one vote March
24 as it gave Kennedy ' his
first legislative drubbing.
The Senate and House bills
now differ in almost every
respect. The probable compro
mise proposal would take
something from each, but
favors the Kennedy-approved
measure.

Missile News
Blackout Ordered
Washington - (UPD - The De
fense Department, which is
under increasing criticism for
restrictions on information,
has ordered a blackout on
news concerning missile tests.
Its unannounced action came
to light today in the wake
of protests by the Freedom
of Information Committee of
the American Society of
Newspaper Editors about bar
riers to news-gathering in the
defense and state depart
ments.
There have been mounting
complaints from newsmen
about difficulties in gathering
information on a gamut of
defense matters, ranging from
broad policy actions down to
picayune details.
The influential Army, Navy,
Air Force Journal commented
today that Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara and As
sistant Secretary Arthur Syl
vester "are striving to in
crease the amount of informa
tion which they believe should
be withheld from the public."
It said they are doing so
"surely with full White House
support."
The Pentagon attitude is !
that "newsmen should not !
write stories about official
matters that are still in the
discussion stage," the Journal
said.

California home March 21, ao
cording to Alabama investi
