McCarthy Reincarnate
If we believed in reincarnation, we'd be will
ing to bet that the late Sen. Joe McCarthy is back
with us again. And he's up to his same old tricks,
under the name of Dan Smoot.
We became nearly convinced of that unlikely
phenonemon after watching Dapper Dan deliver
a half-hour televised speech filled with slander,
innuendo and insult before a Los Angeles "free
dom club" Wednesday night.
Appropriately, the program was sponsored
by a dog and cat food company.
'
IN THAT brief 30-minute period, the ex-FBI
agent turned in a performance that assum
ing he is only himself would have turned Mc
Carthy absolutely green (never red) with envy.
He dropped names
customed ease of a Broadway gossip columnist..
But the only two people he had anything good
to say for were Senator McCarthy and himself.
By the time he was through, he had removed
with dramatic 'force whatever unimaginable
doubts anyone might have had about where he
stood. No one, but no one, is farther to the right
on the political spectrum than is Dan Smoot.
LIENCE, everyone else, including former Presi
dent Eisenhower and his vice president, Rich
ard Nixon, are leftists, positions they dangerously
occupy, he smoothly implied, either through de
sign or ignorance. He wasn't sure which.
The names of the people he castigated and
ridiculed read like Who's Who of American
I statesmanship, for the

conspiracy to turn this country over to the Com
munists at the earliest opportunity, or, at the very
least, to see the nation crumble and fall apart
throurrh clever and maliirn mismanagement.
Some random examples may sufficiently il
lustrate the point and illuminate his technique.
DRESIDENT Roosevelt, Smoot declared in the
manner of one who has revealed truth at his
fingertips, had full knowledge that the Japanese
were going to attack Pearl Harbor, but with a
careful exercise of authority and power, saw to
it that nothing was done to prevent the assault.
Indeed, Smoot said, Roosevelt wanted and all
but invited the attack because he needed a good
excuse to get this country into the war.
Sen. J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark.) he contemptu
ously and scornfully set
the liberals, and an out
Socialist." He betrayed
tude, by now typical of those on the lar right,
when he said a state university education, such
as Senator McCarthy had, wasn't good enough

of that vital world forum is precisely, one is lead
to speculate, what Smoot has in mind.
Those who were not fortunate enough to have
seen the telecast can well imagine the audience
reaction when Smoot enunciated his third point
for national recovery repeal the income tax
amendment. They cheered him as though he were
a Messiah come to lead them unto righteousness.
AS PAINFUL as it was to watch, we would
"have regretted it if we had missed the pro
gram. The audience response clearly indicated
that Smoot was speaking for them, was telling
them exactly what they wanted hear, was, in
short, enunciating in clear terms the position
of those on the far right.
It is, we sincerely trust, an obvious platform
of total and irresponsible anarchy, so patently
absurd that it could have apnoal only to that
minute segment of our population which, for
bettor or worse, has always been with us.
In the main they are the same group who were
jsticli vocal American rirsters a few decades ago,
'who naively supposed that the best thing this
I country could do would be to withdraw from the
community of nations and the rest of mankind.
THEV arc the same ones who rallied so fana
tically around the soiled banner of Senator
McCarthy during the middle 50's. For a while
follow inp McCarthy's death, they lacked leader

Now, with the advent of the John Birch So
ciety, and the rise of the TV personality Dan
Smoot, they are once apiin enjoying the public
prominence and national spotlight they have so
earnestly souuht all alonj;.
Whether this neo-Know Xothinpism is or will

Keep 'Em Out
To the Editor: I have al
ways worshiped Senator
Morse as one of the greatest
statesmen of our times, but
I cannot comprehend he and
Senator Neuberger sponsoring
a bill to bring Communist
Chinese to the U. S.
When millions of our own
people are out of work, do
they not realize that every
thousand let in now will mul
tiply ten fold in less than ten
years?
It does seem the Voters will
weigh this carefully next elec
tion. Do not call them refugees
as the bamboo curtain is too
tight to let anyone through
except what Red China wants
to let through, namely spies.
If the Chinks are starving,
O.K., send them our surplus
food but keep them out of
our country.

Counting Sheep
To the Editor:
Last night I started counting
sheep when I had gone to
bed, ,
For 1 had worries large and
small which drove sleep
from my head.
The sheep had . many little
Iambi and these I counted
too,
Thus through the flock I went
until the Shepherd cams in
view.
And then I thought, "Why
spend the time in simply
counting sheep
When I can walk with Him
and pray for folk who can
not sleep?"
'. walked with Him awhile
and then he smiled and said
to me:
'Look back, where are your
worries now?" but not one

By FRANK JENKINS
From Moscow:
Soviet leaders ended their
economic strategy conference
abruptly after only two days
of talks on their "nagging
agricultural problems" at
home and the challenge of the
West European Common Mar
ket abroad.
The brevity of the meeting
indicated that the Red satel
lite leaders were summoned
to Moscow only to ratify what
ever plans the Kremlin had
already formulated.
WHAT cooks?
Well, the Moscow dis
patch adds that the plans the
Kremlin has formulated are
believed to include "measures
to integrate more closely the
economies of the Soviet Un
ion and its European satellites
and to create a Red counter
part to the flourishing West
European Economic Union."
Which is to say:
If you can't lick 'em, JOIN
'EM.
lfORE from Moscow:
ill "Presumably the Red
leaders adopted measures de
signed to SPUR AGRICUL
TURAL EXPANSION, since
food production is lagging in
most of the East European
countries (communist satel
lites) and in the Soviet Union
itself."
WHAT to do about it?
Here's some advice to
Old Kroosh:
If you're troubled about
your agricultural situation,
and what's wrong with It,
you'd better read a little his
tory AMERICAN history.
You will fund it rather il
luminating. Start with the Jamestown
colonists in America. They
first tried out the system you
are using now the system of
putting everything in one pot
and doling it out equally. It
didn't work. The Jamestown
colonists were starving. So
they changed their system.
They gave everybody his own
little piece of land and let
him KEEP FOR HIMSELF
what he produced.
That saved the day. Under
the new system, ihere was
soon food enough for every
body. The Piymoulh colony
had more or .less the same
experience.
SOME more advice:
Give your peasants their
own land. Let 'em KEEP
WHAT THEY PRODUCE.
Then take another step. Let
your peasants sell to your city
dwellers their surplus pro
duction, at prices determined
by supply and demand.
Under that system which
is the time-tested Western
system -- your FARMERS
(whom you call peasants) will
soon have your now starving
country abundantly supplied
with food.
TMIE advice is free, sir.
Take it or leave it.
But -
From where we sit over
here, your communist system
is beginning to look like a
flop. You'd better DO SOME
THING ABOUT IT.

Internship Program for
Teachers Is Scheduled
Corvallis - Elementary and
secondary teacher internship
programs will be started at
Oregon Slate university this
summer in cooperation with
the Coos Bay and Corvallis
school districts and the state
department of education.
Twenty-four openings will
be available in the Coos Bay
elementary teacher internship
program and four in the Cor
vallis secondary program, ac
cording to Dr. Franklin R.
Zeran, dean of education and
director of summer school.
The program holds great
promise for college graduates
who did not work for teacher
certificates but who would
now like to qualify to teach,
Dean Zeran said..
Attend Summer School
Under the internship pro
gram, teachers will attend
summer school this summer
and next at OSU and during
the '962-63 school year will
be elementary intern teach
ers in Coos Bay and intern
teachers in American Prob
lems at Corvallis high school.
As intern teachers they will
leach half a day, take college
courses in the two cities the
other half day, and will re
reive one-half of a beginning
teacher's salary. .
The internship program was
made possible by the Ford

Now the ultra-liberals are
privately threatening Connal
ly with desertions in Novem
ber to the deeply conserva
tive Republican candidate,
Jack Cox.
CENATOR Bennett's situa-
tion in Utah is less clear
cut: but the principle is no
different. He may have to do
battle not only with his prob
able Democratic opponent,
representative David King,
but also with a kind of hail-
in, half-out challenge from
the excessively right-wing
former Republican Governor
of Utah, J. Bracken Lee.
If Lee dares an open test
with Bennett, in the fair tra
ditions of the two-party pri
mary system, he very likely
will be no problem. If, how
ever, he manages to avoid the
open way and run as some
sort of "independent," it is
obvious he can split off some
of the traditional Republican
vote from Bennett and so help
King as Shell's people
could help the Democratic
Governor Edmund Brown in
California. "
(One would have thought
Senator Bennett to be conser
vative enough for most every
body. But to J. Bracken Lee,
according to what is heard
among the Bennett people, the
senator is practically "a soci
alist.") Thus in three states the ex
tremists of right or left are,
presently or prospectively, in
the position of saying to their
parties: "Since you would not
take us, though our attitudes
are demonstrably t.ie alti
titudes of only a l.:ud and an
gry minority, we will do our
best to see to it that you are
destroyed. The game will be
played our way, under new
rules which only we have
written, or the game will be
thrown away to the opposi
tion." There is no law forbidding
such irresponsibility. But this
kind of thing, carried to its
ultimate logic, would eventu
ally mean handing over this
country to the mercies of a
disorderly form of multiparty
coalition politics in which no
responsible majority could
rule except with the consent
of one or another two-bit
splinter faction able to hold
a pistol to the majority's
head at the right time.
teachers will be fully quali
fied and ready for full-lime
teaching jobs, Dean Zeran
said. The intern experience
is expected to provide espe
cially valuable preparation
for teaching, he added.
"Inherent in the entire plan
of internship is the concept
that the local school system,
OSU, and the stale depart
ment of education are all vi
tally interested and concern
ed with the preparation of
elementary and high school
teachers." Zeran said. The
internship program will be
continued In future years.

ANTICS WITH SEMANTICSi
I am nonchalant; you am

irresponsible.
My remark was wiltyi
your remark was pointed)
his remark was cruel.
I am flexible; you are pli
able: he is a piece of putty.
When a person defends
an uncalled-for act on his
part by saying, "Well, at
least I didn't hurt anybody,
by it," we may be sur
that he hurt himself by it.
I drink to relax tensions;
you drink to escape; he drinks
to get drunk.
For most of us. what we
call "ethics" is a sort of
spiritual dress-suit that we
take out for formal occa
sions - banquets, conven
tions, and the like - and
then hang back in the closet
for our workaday lives.
When a man says, "Lei's
look at the facts," it is rea
sonable to assume that hfl
has arranged the evidence so
that only those things ha
wants to believe are desig
nated as "facts."

ment was broken "by mu
tual consent"; yours was

xvhen it protects our self-interest,
and for "liberty" when
our self-interest is seriously
threatened.
The people who are call
ed "frivolous" in society
are really the most serious
of alii for nobody else ia
grimmer and more concen
trated in the pursuit of
amusements than "frivo
lous" people.
I firmly believe that "God
helps those xxho help them
selves" - until 1 am no longef
able to help myself.
I am down-to-earth; you
are somewhat pedestrian)
he is utterly devoid of
imagination.
Those who conduct their
lives by the maxim that "you
only live once." are often
found, in late middle - age,
yearning hopelessly for a sec
ond chance.
