Harris makes in his first "personal prejudice" j elsewhere on this page today. This is that WHAT a youngster reads isn't nearly as important as the fact that he IS reading. ; Bob wrote a little dissertation for his paper.! the Eugene Register-Guard, recalling the days of ilp magazines westerns, mysteries, and so on and how, so long as a boy was reading, he at least wasn't out turning pVEN reading trash, Harris chimes in, keeps j them out of serious mischief. And if they i stopped reading trashy books this does not mean they automatically will start browsing through "Coriolanus" or "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." "No kid, bov or girl, was ever ruined by a book. Write that 10 times on the blackboard," ; Frazier declares. We've done our own share of reading stuff; which had a fairly low moral tone. We still do, alas, uiion occasion. But when we were younger , . 1 . i tlllS JiaCl tWO eileCtS. 1 It tallB'ht US that readinC isn't l'Callv Vel'V hard to do, and can be fun. 2. The more we read, our standards in reading Crawls before he walks, runs. E.A. A Great Man What a splendid, indestructible old man!! ; Sir Winston Churchill, at 87, goes home from !the hospital, with a broken hip on the mend. Me has survived three brush-fire conflicts. He much of his life, has suliered wounds and in juries, nas oorne tne weignt or tne western wonn on his shoulders for a time virtually alone and still, at 87, he waves a big cigar jauntily as he is taken from the hospital. A UTHOR, journalist, soldier, statesman, poli "tician, artist, bon vivant, animal fancier, de voted husband a man of courage and integrity and honor, and yet still so very human. What a man for mankind to be proud of! Long may he enjoy for breakfast, cigars and A great man, a groat Freudian Sigmunrl Freud and his successors in the arcane arts of psychiatry have probably done as much as any others to make a change in the way modern man thinks about himself and his fellows. Much of this change is good, and liberating. It has helped many people to take a more natural look at themselves and their surroundings, to lose some of the fears and inhibitions with which so ciety has been loaded since ancient times, to understand a bit more about themselves. But not all of the change has been good. In some cases it has resulted in a permissiveness that is destructive of morality and of ethical standards, anil in other cases has blurred the line between free will and a new sort of pseudo-scientific determinism. A7'E ARE deeply convinced, Freudian gobble degook to the contrary notwithstanding, that each human being has a certain though perhaps limited control over his own person ality, and thus over his own destinies. Perhaps he did suffer repressions and frustra tions as a child; still, as a thinking adult he has the potential for the self-control to rise above them. To the degree that he does not do so, he is failing himself. It is obvious that some people do not have the will power to do such a job of self-improvement, but we believe that most of them have at least the potential. IF THE historv of humankind teache; i lesson at all, it is that heredity ;tml environment, triven the strength, de termination and abilities to do so. That most men , have not is the failure of one of these three, things inner strength, ability, or determination. Of this triad, it seems to us the most im-. portant is determination. From determination, oftentimes, comes strength, ami from these two, ability. Whatever the condition of a man savin:;" only that of real idiocy he has the latent power to improve himself, if only he will do so. This does not mean, of course, that any man can b. -come rich or famous; but it does mean that no man need be content only with "his lot" in life, or to drift, morally, giving; limp excuses. TTO FOLLOW the thinking of some Freudians to their logical conclusion is to arrive at a sort of fatalism w hich is as bad as, perhaps woi .-e than, the theological fatalism of an earlier aire, a fatalism which believes that man is wholly troverned by built-in drixes, unavoidable Uos and f rust no ions, and an inherent inability to overmaster them.

THE ALLIANCE AND THE COMMUNISTS Rio de Janeiro If the United Suites has reason to be worried let Latin America fall to the Communists, the com should other side of th also be noted. The Communists arc equal ly worried that through the Alliance for Progress Latin America is on the road to economic improvement and may be in the process of elud ing their grasp entirely.

Because of the entrenched power of the oligarchies in some countries and disen chantment of millions of un- ' derprivileged people in most j ot tne countries, tne lorn : munists are abie to exploit I both. This, as one Latin j American political leader put 11, is now it woriis. "Many of the rich want subversion, hoping a military dictatorship will re-establish their privileges. "The extremists want sub version, expecting lo take the leadership of an anti-military movement which is bound to ensue. "The poor want subversion, dreaming that destruction of the established order will open the way lo a beMcr world. Few seem to realize that economic development is not a fastgrowing tree.

Why then are the Commu nists so fearful that flic Al liance for Prourcs will deny (hem their anal of taking over Latin America? They are wor ried because the Alliance is slowly beginning lo promote the very social reforms to which they have long given hp-serviee. They arc in large pari on the defensive and are now having to content them selves with onpo-ing what the Alliance is trying to do. This is why the Alhanen for Progress is potentially a powerful and positive initia tive. It' vigorously pressed, it can put t he Communists out of business in Latin America . every night, so the little mind is threatened by change and diversity.
