In the midst of one of the most progressive
educational systems in the country is the basic
democratic form of government, a carry-over
from colonial New England the town meeting.
This is the form of

plaints, decide issues, and conduct any other city
business necessary, including adopting the school
budget and school building proposals.
In the larger communities where town meet
ings are held, it is the representative town meet
ing, that is, the people elect others to represent
them at the town meeting.
IN THIS modern day, the town meeting form of
government seems out of place, but it works
quite effectively in some of the northeastern com
munities where it has been established over the
generations.
In Lexington, too,
colonial New England look. City ordinance there
requires that the exterior architecture of new
buildings be of colonial style. It has been very
effective in retaining
pearance of years past.
Along with this architecture go the tall, nar
row church steeples, shining white among the

Within a short distance of this preservation

I J Mt(, wnen Hying or telephoning cross
country, is an irrelevant thing.
It takes as much time to service a Boeing 707
jet in Chicago as it does to fly in the same plane
from Kansas City to Chicago.
Since time is altered by flying, distance and
places are less irrevelant when considering side
trips on the way home,
someone a few hundred

of the party took a side
route home.
Calling cross-country
you give the operator the code area and number
you're calling, the telephone 3,000 miles away is
ringing, and the party being called is answering.
Flying cross-country by jet, and telephoning
cross-country, are the
which the average person can utilize and exper
ience a technology so complex it is almost incom
prehensible. It is fascinating to realize it takes
only a few seconds to contact someone 3,000
miles away, or that you are travelling at speeds
exceeding (iOO miles per

PROM the speed of jets to the speed of the
North Shore Line in the Chicago area is an
interesting study in transportation facilities for
the moving American.
The North Shore Line is an old line, and so
are the cars. Many of us wondered if perhaps
the railroad cars weren't tied behind covered
wagons.
It's a commuter line, a line, too, which has
attempted to go out of service. The commuters

Mouth"
By Joseph Aliop
Tribune Syndicate
The Northern Democrats,
with White House encourage
ment, seem likely to sponsor
a change In the rules more
radical than mere enlarge
ment of the Rules Committee,
The scheme now being bruited
is a rule permitting a mere
majority of the House to bring
any bill to the floor after the
Rules Committee has sat upon
it for 21 days. This would ef
fectively break the Rules
Committee's ancient power
over legislation.
Renewed enlargement of
the Rules Committee is the
obvious compromise measure.
Even for this compromise,
however, Republican votes
will almost certainly be essen
tial. On the previous occasion,
the change in the rules car
ried by a majority of five,
with 21 Republicans voting
for it. This year, a minimum
of 16 Republicans will be
needed, according to Demo
cratic leadership calculations,
IN the last session nf the oul

Republicans who voted for the
rules change were subsequent
ly transformed Inlo mere
robots, under the command of
House Republican Leader
Charles Halleck, grand author
of the Republican - Southern
Democratic coalition. If the
Republicans in the next House
vote as solidly behind Hal
leck as they were doing a
few months back, the rules
change will not carry.
Defeat of the rules change,
in turn, will be a major initial
triumph for Ihe advocates of
the Goldwater idea. It will be
so advertised by all the
Northern Democrats, from the
President on down. It can be
the sort of episode, in fact,
that almost constitutes a Re
publican commitment to the
Southern strategy.
The answers to two ques
tions must therefore be await

will all the Republicans in
the next House continue to
follow Halleck, which means
taking the Goldwater line?

WHERE WAS THE LEAK?
Washington - The leaking
of National Security Council
informatioin to President
Kennedy'! closest newspaper
friend, including confidential
exchanges among the Presi-
dent's advisers in the Cuba i security is allowed to go un
crisis, is an appalling spec-: detected and unpunished?
tacle.
It Is rightly causing the
gravest public anxiety.
Whether It embarrasses or
even impairs the standing of
Adlal Stevenson, U.S. Ambas
sador to the United Nations, is
trivial compared to the way it
undermines the security of
the National Security Council
and calls into question the
trustworthiness of one or
more of Mr. Kennedy's most
intimate official associates.
No one, including several
members nf the Cabinet and
those in the inner circle of
the White House staff, who
was privy to the secrets of the
National Security Council Ex
ecutive Committee throughout
the Cuba deliberations, can be
free of suspicion of leaking
some of the most highly classi
fied data of the government -and
of leaking it irresponsibly
and purposefully.
BVIOUSLY the President
yJ of
the United States can
not himself violate security
because he alone has the right
to declassify any of the secrets
of his own security council.
But there are those in Wash
ington who, despite denials,
continue to believe that Mr.
Kennedy either participated
in or condoned the giving to
two Washington writers,
Charles Bartlett of the Chat
tanooga Times and Stewart
Alsop of the Saturday Eve
ning Post, an account of the
confidential views of the
President's advisers during
the Cuba crisis and which the
authors incorporated in their
magazine article.
As soon as the Saturday
Evening Post was on the news
stands, White House Press
Secretary Pierre Salinger de
nied parts of the article, re
pudiated the report that Am
bassador Stevenson had urged
a soft line in dealing wilh
Soviet missiles, and asserted
that Mr. Kennedy had full
confidence in his UN Ambas
sador. Most people will, I think,
accept this denial substantially
at face value, but the denial
that the President neither
wanted nor condoned this leak
of NSC confidences will be
more persuasive if Mr. Ken
nedy demands lo know the
high official (or officials) in
the Admin istra lion who
breached security, and even
more persuasive when he is
able to act on the Information.
IN the wake of the Bartletl
Alsop article, the White
House itself stressed thai the
different opinions a d vanced
by members of the security
council must remain in con
fidence and unpublished "in
order to permit access by the
President to the frankest ex
pression of views."
They have not remained
secret, they have not been
held in confidence. The secret,
discussions of Ihe most classi
fied, highest-poli.','.- aim of the
government - the National Se

Master egos like Robert

never fail to fascinate this
observer. Their biographer
will be temped to say that

protects his advisors from
having to testify before Con

Some commentators dismiss
this thing as a politically toler

- vendetta against Ambassa

President did not wish it or

communications, weather
spotting and mapping the
earth's magnetic field.
A world-wide television
hook-up could be one result
of such an arrangement for
peaceful cooperation. With
such a set-up, all the news of
the world, in pictures as well
as text, could be instantly
available to everybody in the
world. World-wide weather
spotting would make it pos
sible to avoid much of the
death and damage resulting
from hurricanes.
With instantaneous access
to all the news of the world,
many of the misunderstand
ings that result in war might
be avoided.
IN Berlin, East German
Communist Leader Walter
Ulbreicht suggests that it
might be possible to reach a
peaceful agreement on the
Berlin problem. He says:
"Under conditions of the
lough conflict of two world
systems it is necessary to
PREVENT WAR with the
help of peaceful coexistence
. . . It is not enough just to
TALK in general terms about
peaceful coexistence. One has
lo be aware that peaceful co
existence is bound up with
compromises on both sides."
WHAT to think of it all?
Well, Virgil, in his
Aeneid, warned us to fear
the Greeks when they come
bearing gifts.
If we are wise, we will fear
the communists when they
start talking soft.

and interested hunters (both
deer, elk and bird) have di
gested and redigested Ihese ar
ticles looking for something
concrete and positive being
done to remedy the situation
that now exists.
What the Oregon hunter
really wants is not just these
articles, but action . . . action
to protect his hunting interest
and his son's hunting interest.
The Oregon Slate Game
commission is not perfect . . .
and certainly has had terrific
pressure applied . . . but with
out this commission there
would be no regulation (or
deer and birds) , . . period.
Let's forget about making
our Chambers of Commerce
happy and the quick tourist
buck . . . and get behind our
Oregon Stale Game conimiS"
sion and let them know how
the hunters feel . . . about tha
deer and elk herds and the
pheasant population.
With proper information to
our game people regarding
hunting conditions . . . better
management will be attained
and the Chambers of Com
merce will not be kidding
when they say hunting in
Oregon is ' excellent."
Twelve items for hunter
consideration will be submit
ted and also means for getting
things accomplished through
the hunter himself.

Ways That Are Dark
To the Editor: -A late News
week item states that China,
as of now. possesses and is able
lo manufacture all types of
nuclear arms and is not de
pendent on Russia whatso
ever. But China has no oil
. supply jn its own soil. Which
makes one think, could it b
that China made this push,
aiming In reach Ihe far east
nil fields? It is a long way
lo go, bul with a steady pres
sure and feeble opposition, tha
Chinese will reach their goal.
The only power who could
slop them is Uncle Sam.
However, that would brinj!
about what Mao wants, ac
cording to all reports. He,
like Stalin, did want a final
showdown with Capitalism.
At any rate, if il is not oil
in particular that China seekJ
with its strike, it is just simply
that il seeks a way lo light
the atomic fire. An old saying
- "For things that are queer
and for ways that are dark,
the heathen Chinese is pe
culiar."
