This was almost two yeai'3 after the Constitution itself. The ten amendments are properly honored by the observance of Bill of Rights Day tomor row, for they are an integral part of our basic charter, and there are some who feel they actual ly are the most important part of the Constitution. They guarantee the very liberties for which the American Revolution was fought, and have served ever since as a bulwark of our freedom. TTHEY did not, obviously, spring into existence overnight, nor were they the spontaneous creation of the Founding Fathers. Their roots go far back into the history of the human race in its long search for freedom, justice and decency. Some of the rights enumerated in the first ten amendments were first proposed by the ancient Greeks. Some others were the children of a long line of European libertarian philosophers. Others were the outgrowth of abuses which led to the Revolution. Together they form the guarantees that, how ever controversial they may be in specific in stances, have given Americans more freedom, and for a longer period of time, than any other nation has known. THE ideals contained in the Bill of Rights were assembled in strikingly similar form years be fore they became part of the Constitution. The Virginia Declaration of Rights was adopt ed by that state on June 12, 1776, even before the Declaration of Independence, 13 years before the Constitution was adopted and 15 years before the Bill of Rights itself was ratified. The Virginia declaration was the work of a little-known patriot named George Mason, who drew, in turn, upon a variety of sources in writing the document. Not only was it the precursor to the Bill of Rights; it also contained much of the phrase ology adopted by that other great Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, in writing the Declaration of Independence. DEAD, and compare, these random quotes from the Virginia declaration : "That all Men are by Nature equally free and inde pendent, and have certain inherent Rights . . .; namely the Enjoyment of Life and Liberty, wiih the Means of acquiring and possessing Property, and pursuing and obtaining Happiness and Safety." "That all Power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the People ..." "That in all capital or criminal Prosecutions a Man hath a Right to Demand the Cause and Nature of his Accusation, to be confronted with the Accusers and Witnesses, to call for Evidence in his Favour, and to a speedy Trial by an impartial Jury of his Vicinage, without whose unanimous Consent he' cannot be found guilty, nor can he be compelled to give Evidence against himself; that no Man be deprived of his Liberty except by the Law of the Land, or the Judgment of hii Peers." "That excessive Bail ought not to be required, nor excessive Fines imposed; nor cruel and unusual Pun ishments inflicted." "That in controversies respecting Properly, and in Suits between Man and Man, the ancient Trial by Jury ia preferable to any other, and ought to be held sacred." THERE is more, but these quotations give the f 1 furm orirl tannv rP flu rl rri lmnn f onrl cV.ri' 11U1UI 11 1 1 VI LUV'l Vr L UIC llW-UlllVllb Clllll tDUWtl its remarkable similarity in many respects to the later and better known charters of freedom. George Mason also had a hand in the writing and adoption of the Bill of Rights. He had been against ratification of the Constitution largely because it contained no such guarantees. In June of 17SS, Virginia ratified the Constitu tion by a vote of 89 to 71). However, in the words of an article by Mrs. Josephine Evans Harpham of Eugene, about George Mason: "The price of approval, however, was a promise that a set of amendments embodying a bill of rights would be Introduced into the first Congress. There fore on the next day George Mason drew up 20 pro posed amendments founded on his own Declaration of Rights, which in essence Inter became the Bill of Rights. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and safety, liberty of conscience, free press, Judicial safeguards, the right to vote, civil .supremacy, are perhaps more significant today than they were nearly 180 years ago." THE Bill of Rights was proposed by Congress in September of the following year, and finally ratified two years later, on Doc. 15, 1791. It is entirely possible that the Bill of Rights is too little known, too little understood, and too little appreciated today. A reading of it, a sttidv of its meaning and background, and of its employment over the past 171 years in the safeguarding of the rights of American citizens, would be rewarding. The Bill of Rights is a charter of freedom that has intense and personal meaning to all of us, and to the other nations whose desires for liberty and self-government have been spurred by this historic document.

I'll tell those delegates what to pass 'Cause I'm big and tough and full of gas. I growled and snarled and clawed the air, But not a one crawled under his chair. I pounded the table with my shoe And did everything that a bear could do. But they just let the big noise pass, And 1 gulped and lost about half of my gas. I went out West where the corn grew high. And I told them our corn reached the sky! They answered me with a silly sly grin And it made me feel so small and thin. Then I got mad and started to swear, For now I'm a half-sized Rus sian bear. I started to tell them I had class, But I gulped and lost some more of my gas. Then I went to the Coast where all was humming; I thought they would cheer when they heard I was coming; But when I arrived they had heard enough; They didn't bother to call my bluff. I stancd to give them a lot sass, But I gulped and lost the rest of my gas. Now I am tired and I don't care; I am just a little Russian bear. Then the mayor of a city gave me a rub, And now I know I am just a cub. I went back home through a i quiet pass. Wondering why I had lo?t all of my gas. When I arrived the snow was deep, Time little bears were all asleep. So I curled up tight and sucked mv paw After saying goodnight dear old Maw. E. G.

West German Government Patched Up Again; Weakness, Uncertainty By PHILNEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Chancellor Konrad Aden auer has patched up his coali tion West German govern ment, but it is doubtful i f anyone is very happy about irtS it. A benefic ial result was the fact that it gave West German For eign Minister simom Gerhard Sch roeder the backing of a gov ernment in-being and able to make decisions at th current meeting in Paris of NATO foreign ministers. But lo get his government back on the rails again Aden auer had to pay a price. Lost in the shuffle was his controversial Defense Min ister Franz Josef Strauss who was replaced by Kai-Uwe von Hassel, governor of Schlew-sig-Holstein but relatively un known outside Germany. As a price for continued co operation of the Free Demo crats with his Christian Demo crats, Adenauer also was In ihe Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Some Interesting figures: Richard M. Nixon's cam paign committees announce they spent $1,421,653 in their effort to elect Mr. Nixon gov ernor of California. Governor Edmund G. Brown's campaign treasurer reports expenses of S 1,3 80, 711 in the campaign to re elect Governor Brown. When tabulated for easier comparison, it looks like this: Nixon $1,421,653 Brown $1,380,711 TOTAL $2,802,364 riNE more figure: The annual salary of the governor of California is $40,- 000. Which is to say: The amount spent by these two candidates to get elected was more than the office will pay in salary in 70 YEARS. Politics is a strange profes sion, isn't it? TN CLOSING, this point is - perhaps worth noting: The Nixon campaign closed with a SURPLUS of $36,024. The Brown campaign came out with a DEFICIT of $101,495. At least, the Republicans appear to be sounder fiscal managers. They tend to pay as they go. The Democrats tend to put it on the cuff and hope for the best. T ET'S turn to pleasanler news.

Altogether, the shakeup is not expected to effect foreign or domestic policy. It seems it must, however, have a Washington Report By William S. Whit (c) United Feature Syndicate COLD WAR PAUSE Washington - A great and fateful pause has fallen over the central issues in the cold war. There is what amounts irwj to an Ameri can decision not for the f J moment pub- ' Va licity to push 13 the Soviet union very hard over any of the prob lems lying be tween the two countries, consensus has been reached within the Ken nedy administration th t our October triumph in forcing the removal of Soviet missiles and nuclear bombers from Cuba should suffice for the time being. Though thousands of Soviet troops are still in Cuba, there is no present plan to demand their evacuation by any given date. Nor Is there anv present plan to compel Nikita Khrush chev to make good on his promise of United Nations on-site inspection in Cuba to verify the withdrawal of his offensive weapons. IN A simplified sense the "hard" line adopted at the height of the Cuban crisis has been followed by a line which might be described a3 trying out a policy of wait-and-see. Twin dangers have been weighed up-the danger of al lowing the Russians to sup pose that our will has soft ened, and the danger of com promising the victory of Oc tober by demanding too many additional concessions too soon from Khrushchev. For better or for worse, the conclusion has been reached that the first danger is not at the moment so great as the second. There is no disposition among officials here to read any vast hopefulness for the west in the present divisions between the Soviet Union and Communist China-which is, at least for the record, in sistently pressing Khrushchev to take up a "tougher" stance toward the west. All the same, the prevailing official view is that there is at least some genuineness in these divisions and thus that this would be a poor time to push Khrushchev too hard, lest he fall back into full partnership with the Chinese, who really want nothing less than all-out war with the west. MOREOVER when skepti- cal inquirics are made to administration officials about the fact that we have lowered the heat, the reply is that we can always turn up the fuel valve again, as, in deed, we did in Cuba. It is pointed out that even in this gunpoint confronta tion President Kennedy left the Soviet Union some room to save face. It is suggested that the mere pre:ence in Cuba of Soviet troops, now that missiles are absent, poses no great threat. And it is re marked thai we are just as well off without United Na tions verification in Cuba, since we are left free to run our own national surveillance. Most practical people would agree w ith this one point, any how. This form of verification is incomparably more reliable than anything the U.N. could possibly offer. HATEVER may be said of he general argument-and it is offered here without comment by this columnist, who does not pretend to be sure whether it is sound - a great and crucial fact remains. This is that ihe administra tion's new policy is alive with two dangers. One is sim ply that it may not work and thus that the moment im and initiative we gained in stand ing up in Cuba may be lost. The other Is political. The incoming new congress will at best be anxious to know a great deal more than it knows now about all the considerations thRt have led to this hiatus. Prudence is not the same thing as ap peasement; and all present evidence sucgests that we have not shifted from a hard strategy but have onl turned temporarily to softer cover ing tactics. But prudence, if extreme, could become appeasement And if. say by spring, thcie were any rf that sort of look about our position. Congress would surelv move in with massive hostile investigations which could wholl.. reverse what appears to be current public approval of ihe Presi dent as a cold war lcadcf. " White In effect, a weakening Influence on the government both at home and abroad as German politicians scramble for position in the next power line-up. In effect, Adenauer's prom ise to resign next fall placed him in the position of being a lame duck chancellor.. This may or may not be binding since Adenauer has reneged on such promises be fore. The man still at the top of the list to replace Adenauer is Ludwig Erhard, 65, the min ister of economics who is cred ited with placing West Ger many on the road to its pres ent prosperity and who enjoys wide popularity within the Christian Democratic party. Erhard's weakness is that Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF A TEST PILOT had occasion to parachute to earth from a great height. Later he complimented the maker of the parachute.

We never get a complaint!" e e Nominated for the worst of the year: the story of the three Indian squaws who were admitted to the maternity ward at the same time. Chief Wampum, head obstetrician, assigned one to a buffalo hide, the sec ond to an elk hide, and the third to a hippopotamus hide (now where did he get hold of THAT one?). At any rate, the squaws on the elk and buffalo hides each produced a 6-pound son. But the squaw on the hippo potamus hide mothered healthy, 6-pound twins. All of which, proves, of course, that the sons of the squaw of the hippopotamus equal the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. Overheard: At Luchow's: "No wonder she's gushing.

Ine. NOUNS OF MULTITUDE What grammarians call "the nouns of multitude" are most puzzling to foreigners when trying to 'earn a new 1 anguage. A German maid I know re lumed from shopping and told her mis stress she had Skif ' i been unable -J to buy "a Barru group of ban anas." Why should bananas be a bunch"? There is no reason able explanation for the nouns of multitude, because language was invented long before logic. I remember, in an old book about the oddities of language, the tale of a for eigner looking at a picture of a number of vessels, and say ing "Look at that flock of ships." He was told (the book went on) that a flock of ships was called a fleet, and that a fleet of sheep was called a flock. And it was added that a flock of girls is called a bevy, a bevy of wolves is called a pack, a pacK of thieves is m4 called a gang, a gang of ; have been introduced Into the angels is called a host, a host I language by etymologists, like of porpoises is called a shoal, i Eric Partridge, the distin and a shoal of buffaloes is i ouished British lexicoEraDher. called a herd. To further enlighten him in the Intricacies of the English language, he was informed that a herd of children it called a troop, a troop of pariridget it call ed a covey, a covey of beauties It called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians it UNEMPLftYMEJiT "For join lakes, can't they hurry it up? I'va got a iaxl waiting for ma outfid ... 1" Remain he is regarded as a top econo mist but not as a statesman. It is feared he would have dif ficulty standing up against Soviet needling and might not display Adenauer's enthus iasm for a united Europe. In any event, the specula tion now is that Erhard's ten ure in office would be a short one, probably ending in 1964 and certainly not extending beyond general elections in 1965. This in itself is discourag ing to Western diplomats who believe that a strong West German government is essen tial to a united front against the Soviet Union and that the government already has been weakened by the political scramble of recent weeks. 1 ' J. Harris called a horde. To confound this confu sion even more, he was told that a horde of rubbish is called a heap, a heap of oxen is called a drove, a drove of rioters is called a mob, a mob of whales is called a school, a school of worshippers is called a con gregation, a congregation of engineers it called a corps, a corps of robbers it called a band, a band of locusts it called a twarm, and a twarm of people it called s crowd. In the animal world alone, we have a different word to designate nearly every differ ent species as a group, from a brace or team of horses to a colony of ants and a pride of lions. And, of course, in the realm of semantics, we know how skillfully we change tha group names when we are dealing with objects we lika or dislike - as, for instance, "a company of merry-makers," which includes us, be comes "a gang of drunkards" when the party is held in tha apartment just above us. Many nouns of multitude who has given us some de lightful and whimsical terms for bishops, judges, and other special categories. Only tha other day, in fact, I heard about two such men discuss ing what a group of prosti tutes should be called. "A jam of tarts." volunteered one. "No," said the other, "an anthology of pros."
