An ambitious vounrr man named Richard M. Nixon discovered that the anxieties of the cold war could be con verted into political capital by the skillful manip. ulation of suspicion and fear. The career thus began carried him all the way to tne vice rresi dency and within hailing distance of the White House. Last month Mr. Nixon came to the end of the road in the same election which unseated the John Birch society s two members of Congress Did McCarthyism die that day, or at least cease to be politically profitable, in California? - The American people should hope so. For this 16-year nightmare which saw tanaticai anti Communism elevated to the status of a dogma, a gainful occupation and a political ritual struck at the roots of American constitutional liberty. Not that the American people have any sympa thy for Communism, which also strikes at the basis of constitutional liberty. But they should have no more affections for the radical right than they do for the radical left. e e DOTH radicalisms are entitled to freedom of expression and of political action so long as ours remains a free society. But both are funda mentally hostile to the basis of freedom. They use free speech for their own ends, and would abolish it for others if they could. They seek to advance their views, not through the interplay of free debate, but by various forms of "direct action." The riorht-winff counterpart of the left-wing strike is the activity of sell-appointed vigilantes who boycott merchants for selling Yugoslav goods, or try to take into their own hands the responsibilities of law enforcement agencies con cerned with national security. They use the tac tics of pressure and smear, not to promote but to stifle the discussion of public issues. Fanatical anti - Communism of this sort is really more anti-thought than it is anti-Red. By fixing their attention on the alleged sponsorship of ideas rather than on the ideas themselves, ex tremists persuade themselves that good Ameri cans must be. tainted with Communism if they favor any measure which some Communist some where has favored. This not only leads to such absurdities as declaring Dwight D. Eisenhower suspect, but it discourages clear thinking on vital issues of the times. IN THE fanatics' lexicon, liberalism equals so- cialism and socialism equals Communism; hence all liberals must be tools or dupes or ac complices of Communism. But if democracy is to work, all ideals, popular or not, liberal or con servative, radical or otherwise, are entitled to a hearing. Tagging certain thoughts as Communist, and therefore forbidden, is an effort to strait- iacket the free mind. And who, after all, gave the self-appointed guardians ot "Americanism the right to decide what A calm person who him will understand that the United States was never further from revolution than it is today. He will also understand that in a world of nuclear weapons, differing societies and political systems must learn to live together in peace. Yet by in flating a few legitimate security cases into a net work of internal peril, by steadily playing on the fears of the cold war, the radicals of the right for years have tried to substitute emotion for reason. As against freedom and peace, they are the merchants of social anarchy at home and ideological war abroad. We hope California voters last month took step toward cleaning American politics of this poison. bt. Louis rost - Rainwalking December in Oregon goodness knows. Except December seems to be a Some years it is the month when one waits for skiing season. The gloom, which seemed almost tolerable a month ago, is getting tiresome. And we know we'll be even more sick of it before eaves start reappearing on the trees. Hut one thing December does offer. It's a dandv month for rainwalking. In some ways it isn't as good as November, because in December there are fewer leaves to kick. Rut leaves can also be an infernal nuisance to the pure rainwalker, who is not quite the same breed of cat as the pure leafkicker. The rainwalker likes two things: rain and .walking. I IKE the skier, he has his costume sturdy " shoes, pants that are not pressed, a raincoat and, if he weal's spectacles and no hair, a hat with a brim. The pure rainwalker eschews such trap pings as galoshes. And he wouldn't be caught dead with an umbrella. "Umbrellas," he says, "are for people who don't like rain."

I Kltillg People W'llO speak of ! ,, i , ' ,, (i, ! LHigh .to come in out of the "Since You've Been Going With That Doll, You're Getting Chicken" In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Paris: U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk urges the North Atlantic Alliance to TAKE THE INITIATIVE In the cold war and demonstrate that freedom is the wave of the future. In a cautiously optimistic report to the annual NATO winter ministerial meeting, he said the outcome of the Cuban crisis and weaknesses devel oping in the Communist bloc offer the West new opportu nities. He added that the Soviet Union is bumping into serious problems - including troubles INSIDE RUSSIA itself. WHAT are these troubles? They were suggested sev eral weeks ago in a report from Moscow by American correspondents. Here are some of the report's highlights: 1. Soviet workers show no interest in hard work, ma chinery is short on farms, and the nation wants better shoes on its feet. 2. Good food, good clothes and good household supplies simply are not to be had and without them the worker has only a limited incentive to work. 3. Things are better than two or three years ago - ex cept, perhaps for food - but most Russians have learned one way or another that they live poorer lives than Western ers and even the rest of the Socialist camp, except per haps China. WHOSE ire serious problems - indeed. It just could be that, look ing at them and worried by what he sees. Old Kroosh may have come to the conclusion that this is no time to pick a fight with the vastly more efficient West. That could explain his hasty retreat in Cuba when we called his bluff. SO MUCH for the big world news. Let's take a look now at some smaller news closer home. DOWN in Santa Monica. Mrs. Peter Lawford, wife of the actor and sister of President Kennedy, has complied with a court order to visit a child study center and an auto wrecking yard. The visits were conditions imposed after a conviction for driving with an expired license. TM1E circumstances? Well, her driving license expired last May, and on Sep tember Iff she had a minor traffic accident while she was backing out of her driveway. for which she was cited by a traffic policeman, who ask ed to see her license and dis covered that It had expired. Her case came up before Municipal Judge W. Blair Oib- bens, of Santa Monica, who sentenced her to VISIT A JUNKYARD, in order to see with her own eyes what can happen to cars when improp erly driven, and to visit also a hospital to study the cases of children who are injured by drivers who have been careless in cases where they shouldn't have been careless. He ordered her to write a report on what she saw there. 1jVRLY this week. Mrs Law J ford reported that she had complied with the judge's or ders, and Judge Gibbens re leased her from all further proceedings. This judge Gibbens is quite a character. He has achieved considerable national promt- iviuiuim. traffic violators to unusual tnks. Some of them are ordered ,n tt.n,p lMtv 5tr.. . to visit morgues and hospital emergency wards. Still others are required to sit through traffic crash films that are anything but mild -but show what happens when traffic mistakes are maile. It just might be that if we h id more judges like this Judge Gibbens we would have fewer traffic accidents. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON - Washington Report By William fci United Feature Syndicate THE DOUGHS AND OTHERS Washington-Eighteen years ago this month a pre-Chnst- mas season very different from our pres- , J Ant n n a lav upon the oc casi o n a 1 1 y bloody snows along the Bel- 1- g i a n - Ger man frontier. In an army jeep two men were going back from the White front toward a warm, a light ed headquarters in Spa, Bel gium, a little city not far from a town which was shortly to become famous in history under the name Bastogne, in an action that would be called the Battle of the Bulge. I was one of the two men in the jeep; the other was a battalion commander from a great division, the 1st Infan try, who had had a little too much combat even for a vet eran of the peerless, the in comparable "Big Red 1." He was being sent rearward, un officially, to what was called a "rest billet. As a war cor respondent I was, on this oc casion, his companion. AS WE churned along In the blasts of the bone-chilling wind that came down from the darkening hills we passed men sinking down for the on coming night into foxholes which had been drilled into the frozen terrain. The tic that was never long absent from the major's wasted eyes blinked at sudden speed. He turned from the view along the road and said to me: "God pity the Doughs (the infantry men) on a night like this!" I do not know what hap pened to the Doughs on that night, though I can guess how long a night it was before it ended in the blizzard of dawn. But later on a good many of them - not excluding my friend, the major - died some where in that crazy storm of fire and shell which was cli maxed at last in the siege ot Bastogne. All this is of the past; but it has a purpose in the present and future. And most speci fically it has a purpose in this column. rjN'E of the 40-odd bills that the Defense Department will propose to the new Con gress which opens in a few weeks would grant to the members of our armed serv ices their first pay raises since 1958. The civilian em ployees of the government have, of course, done a great deal better. Their raises seem to come almost automatically, as they have come since 1958 - and before. The plain truth is that our military men are wretchedly 7K S f fi "If "I don't mind the crowds, the lines or going in hock every year . . what bothers me il, come Christmas morning, you get all he credltl" Foreign News: U.S.-British Patch Job Foreseen; Spy Fever in Moscow Slated By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Notes from the foreign news cables: Patch Job President Kennedy and Prime Minister Harold Mac mi 11 an are e x p e cted to patch up, at least super ficially, the rift which has developed be tween their two countries over reports that the United States ewiotn plans to scrap its Skybolt mis sile. The British had counted on the Skybolt for their own bomber force, and their first reaction was sharply anti- American. The British still don't know how to replace the Skybolt to maintain their independent nuclear deter- rent, but the government also is fearful of the results of S. White underpaid, and certainly rela tive to what is handed out so readily to the civil service civilians. Some of these fa vored civilians who work under military officers, in the Pentagon and elsewhere, re ceive far more than the cap tains, the majors, the colonels and so on who must direct the efforts of these supposed sub ordinates. Moreover, these, the civil ians, are protected by dozens of civil service regulations and built-in privileges. They may or may not obey orders always. If they don't it is said of them that perhaps they have psychological problems, domestic difficulties, or some thing. And it is left at that; for these are the untouch ables. 'T'HE military Joes, however, -1 are touchable, indeed. They simply obey their or ders. And for them no 35 hour week, or whatever it is, is guaranteed in the stone tab lets of bureaucracy. In the simplest and most elementary justice, therefore, they ought to have this pay raise. And so should all the others all over the world -soldiers, sailors, airmen, ma rines - who quietly carry their packs and their loads of responsibility and for the most part do their duty, or their dying, under an old slo gan which our sophisticates would do well not to scorn too much - the slogan: For God and County. Is this column a bit of propaganda? You can bet it is. But it is a propaganda of truth, and I only hope that somewhere and somehow it may do some small good to the armed forces of the Unit ed States. Let Congress pity the DoiiRhs, the Doughs and all the others, in a time like this. They don't have many to speak for them.

Communications Meredith Criticised To the Editor: With school scholastic standings of vari ous nations featured in the last issue (Dec. 17) of U. S. News and World Report, it seems a letter to our U. S. Attorney General might be of reader interest as follows: U. S. Attorney General Rob ert Kennedy Dear Sir: Speaking for many others, also myself, we have good cause to wonder why James Meredith is pres ently enrolled in the Univer sity of Mississippi at Oxford. Oct. 11, 1962, there arrived here in a form letter head lined: The Committee of 100, in support of the NAACP Legal and Defense Fund, Inc., asking for contributions to help James Meredith in the Hniver sity of Mississippi. That James Meredith should be kept there, due to his "thirst for knowledge." To my immediate reply, asking if Mr. Meredith was thirsting for knowledge, why he should be taken from the Stale College at Jackson where he had six credits standing between him and his graduation? To date there has been no reply. An answers of sorts d I d come from the Medford Mail Tribune, Nov. 15, 1962, head lined: "Meredith Hints at Having Trouble With School Work." Mr. Meredith admit ted that he was taking a long week end off to skip algebra and English, really high school subjects, starting in the grades of Russia and Eu rope. Still more revealing in a Dec. 2 TV news release as relayed to me, of a news in terview at the University of Mississippi where university students are required to make a certain number of visits to the library per month. The librarian there is said to have testified that Mr. Meredith spends much of his time there napping. Also, a young wom an student reportedly said that Mr. Meredith appears to pay little attention to lec tures, that she has never seen him with pad and pencil that all there must have and use. There is more, much more, how Mr. Meredith played hookey when subjects came up he did not like, including algebra and English in high school, and which he is now reportedly doing in the Uni versity of Mississippi. In view of all this, we feel justified for you, Mr. Attorney Gen eral, to explain why James Meredith is being kept, by aid of federal armed might, in the University of Mississip pi? Yours for the rights of white as well as black people. F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore. More Nature Study To the Editor: Travel on land by wheelbarrow, on wa ter by one-oar sampan, some times was the only transport available in China when writ er first was there. This was before the Manchu revolution, with its queue-cutting mobs. Then commenced a change that might have meant much if U.S.A. had treasured Chi na's traditional friendship. In those days, we were at first surprised to find that buying an orange did not in clude the peel. That had a market value for flavoring those two meals, morning rice, evening rice. In U.S.A. American Know How produces such surpluses that government subsidizes some farmers to let land lie idle. When one recalls that in contrast one and one-half billion people (that's billions, not millions) go nightly to bed hungry, one grasps how edu cation in science has benefit ed our nation. Do we today, however, in the excitement of the Space Age overemphasize Physics and Chemistry to the neglect of Biology? Should we not have more nature study? C. M Goethe 3731 Tea st. Sacramento 16.

Key prisoner so far is British busi nessman Greville Wynne whose wife has been allowed to come to Moscow to visit him in a performance remi niscent of the Barbara and Francis Gary Powers epic of 1960. On the International po litical scene the Soviet press is expected to bring further into the open Soviet policy differences with the Red Chi nese. Khrushchev, however, still does not appear ready publicly to admit an open Drummond Reports (Walter Lippmann it in Europe. Roscoe Drummond reports front Washington in his absence.) (e) 1962 New York Herald Tribune Inc. QUESTION NOT FOR THE HISTORIANS Washington Politicians, for the most part, like to leave the embarrassing ques tions to the history books. It gets them out of the public mind or at least under the rug to suggest that they real ly can't be answered until long in the future. This was President Ken nedy's graceful way at his latest press conference of turn ing aside questions concerning the accuracy and source of the leak of National Security Council secrets which were re ported some say mislead ingly in the Charles Bart-lett-Stewart Alsop article in the Saturday Evening Post. This is a perfectly fair tac tic to which every modern President, who has had to meet the press in public, has resorted at one time or an other. It is what White House reporters call dealing with questions without answering them. If Mr. Kennedy deems it best to close the book on what some call the "NSC leak" and others the "Stevenson affair," he will, for some time at least, succeed in doing so. There is little, if anything, which the Congress, the public, or the press can do about it. The only reason I venture this postscript to the Presi dent's press-conference com ments on the controversial article is that it seems to me that Mr. Kennedy neither an swered nor assigned to the historians the central ques tion. rpHE President was, of -- course, eminently right in not allowing himself to be drawn into any discussion concerning the position which Ambassador Stevenson or any other of his advisers took dur ing the Cuba deliberations. These confidences have al ready been breached too much. He said that any de scription and appraisal of the Cuba deliberations should be left to the historians and call ed it a "minefield" through which sometimes they would tread. But the central question has nothing whatsoever to do with tne divergent views of the and irresponsibly leaked ths President's advisers on the confidences of tlie NSC. Cuban crisis. The central I don't see how this matter question is: who breached the can be safely left to the his confidence of the NSC andltorians. Strictly Personal By Sydney lei Field Enterpriies. Inc.

Berlin Bait A speech by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in dicates the Soviets will push slowly to get East-West talks over Berlin going again. They are expected to dangle two pieces of bait - an indication British, French and American troops might be tolerated In West Berlin under a United Nations flag, and an indica tion the Kremlin would like to get an East-West agreement on general outlines of a peaca treaty the Soviets could sign with East Germany without bringing on a major crisis. is anything going to be dona about it? At another point Mr. Ken nedy said that he did not think there was much advant age "to the various press speculations" concerning Mr. Stevenson's role or any other adviser's role in the NSC since the decision had to ba and was his own. True, absolutely true, but the question that is causing public anxiety. Congressional anxiety, and head-shaking in many quarters in the govern ment is not ' "press specula tion" over who said what dur ing the secret deliberations in the White House, but who violated the security of tha NSC and what should ba done. fN THIS point Ambassador Stevenson, who was a principal target of the NSC leak, and President Kennedy disagree. Mr. Stevenson has said: "I think it is troublesome to think that the privacy of the President's d e I i b e r a tions could be breached, and if I had anybody in my employ, and could catch him, who did that, he wouldn't last long." Mr. Kennedy made it clear at his press conference that he did not intend to press his investigation of who was re sponsible. Democratic Sen. Clair Engle of California, a loyal Kennedy supporter, says that action by the President to discover and remove from government the person or per sons who leaked NSC discus sions "would be a great re lief to many members of Con gress and to the American public." At his press conference, when asked whether he plan ned an inquiry into the viola tion of NSC confidence. Mr. Kennedyq limited his reply to what seemed to me an ir relevancy. He said he was satisfied that "the statement or interpretation" of Gover nor Stevenson's position "did not come from a member of the National Security Coun cil." That's not the issue. That's incidental. The crucial ques tion is not who called Adlal bad name unfair as that was but who deliberately J.
