Our Archaic Congress
The 88th Congress is entering this year of
struggle against odds ot its own choosing. It will
attempt to legislate wisely for the needs of the
space age with a legislative mechanism geared to
the age of the horseless carriage.
This is not only absurd, it is dangerous.
It is all but impossible for Congress to move
swiftly to meet a developing emergency. It is
all but impossible for Congress efficiently to
analyze and oversee the expenditure of the bil
lions it appropriates each year. It is all but im
possible to inject new blood and fresh minds
into the hierarchical leadership structure. It is
all but impossible to assert the will of a majority
of Congress if a minority chooses to oppose it.
THE executive branch of our Government, cum-
bersome as it still is, has been extensively
overhauled on at least four occasions in the last
25 years. Moreover, its administrative machinery
is constantly updated by the management en
gineers of the Bureau of the Budget, among

Walker Charge Dismissed
When the federal grand jury at Oxford, Miss.,
failed to return any indictments against rioters
in the Meredith entry into the University of
Mississippi the Department of Justice dismissed
charges against a number who had been arrested.
One was Maj. ucn. La win A. Walker.
The general, it will be recalled, resigned from
the Army in a huff after he had been removed
from his Berlin command and reprimanded for
two much political activity. He became a violent
crusader in anti-Communism, ran for governor of
Texas and was defeated, then showed up at Ox
ford to encourage the white resistance to Negro
Meredith s admission to "Ole Miss.
DUT under arrest at the time, the general was
hauled to another jurisdiction and was going
to be committed for psychiatric examination
when he was permitted to return to his home in
Texas.
We are inclined to agree with the Eugene
Register-Guard which thinks the government was
pretty high-handed in shipping Walker around
for mental violations.
He was far out of line as a gooil citizen and
retired officer in encouraging resistance to the
court orders; but the remedy was restraint rather
than building his case into some cause eelebre.

To Ihe Editor: Two items in
a December paper intrigued
me. One item from the Liars
Club gave the tallest story to
this story "When my canary
wanted a drink I had to pull
up the well and run it through
the wringer ". If I had been on
Ihc judging learn I would
have given the prize to J.F.K.
hands down. The other item
was JF.K.'s speech to the
Cuban invaders, freed, prom
ising that "the U. S. would
stand behind efforts to free
Cuba." That was the tallest
story of the year. He had al
ready promised our "peace
loving" Dictator K that Ihc
U.S. or nobody else would in
vade Cuba. Also it looks as if
that private line between
J.F.K. and Dictator K con
veyed the promise that we
dismantle our bases in Tur
key and Italy.
Funny deal, wherever the
peaceful U.N. goes, when the
blood settles we find Com
munists in control of free peo
ple. Then blood really flows
as the Commies make a peace
ful country by plowing under
all those who don't want lo
live as slaves.

Too Many Quotes
To the Editor: It both
grieves and mystifies me that
writers in Communications
pen such lengthy quotations
from the Bible. The majority
of the M-T's 20,000 and more
subscribers have Bibles of
their own. They enjoy read
ing the thought and interest
ing experiences of their neigh
bora. They most assuredly do
not enjoy having some well
meaning but burdensome
brother continually quoting
the Good Book which most
have right alongside them. We
all know these "scriptural
scribes" love God but we
humbly wish they would
spare us this portion of their
literary testimony.

Doe Killing
To the Editor: How many
of these no-doe ealcrs have ap
plied for a doe lag or, at the
end of the searon, wished they
had?
How many arc just plain
poachers?
How many are land owners,
with no-hunting signs plaster
ed all over, who apply lo the
game commission for a per
mit to kill deer of either sex
which they claim damage and
cat their crops?
How many of these advo
calcs to save the deer popula
tion arc brush sprayers, that
kill a doe or a small buck,
then sneak off hoping no one
has seen them, because ii
wasn't a trophy head?
I for one say the game com
mission is doing a great job.
I've applied for and re
ceived a doe tag every year
since they have been issued,
some years I've used them
some I haven't. This year I
sent hack my S3 permit be
get a buck early in the season.
But when the end of the
season is near a doe tastes
just as good a a buck, late in
the season better.
A sportsman's club is a
wonderful thing to get peo
ple interested in hunting to
gether, to learn from others,
safety, the right gun to use,
to obey game laws, not to in
fringe on others property and
rights, etc.
But if a sportsman's club is
going to make the hunting
laws, let's be sure they can
police them.
If they feel they can do
this let's do away with the
game commission. Look at the
money we would save. Or
would we?

To the Editor: The Cuban

sia now has on the island 'f
Cuba 26 missile bases, a num
ber of submarine bases, 500
tanks and an army of occu
pation of 30,000 men. More
bases are under construction.
They claim that 100 ship
loads of missiles were brought
into Cuba and 27 ships, sup
posedly loaded with missiles,
were returned to Russia. They
claim that the 27 ship?, sup
posedly loaded with missiles
were covered with tarpaulin
and that underneath the tar
paulin were crates and stage
props, not missiles. They
claim that the missiles were
stored in eaves, subterranean
passages and tunnels, many
which were built in "flush

Amintore Fanfani's center-left
alliance with the left-wing So
cialists will be costly to his
Christian Democratic party in
the next general election. This
poll, accurate in the past, in
dicates a loss of 4.8 per cent
for the Christian Democrats.
Such a loss still would leave
them the biggest single par
ty in Italy but more depend
ent than ever on some sort
of coalition to run the gov
ernment. The poll showed the
Communists likely to lose 0.9
per cent of their previous poll
ing strength. The left-wing
Socialists of Pietro Nenni
would be the biggest gainers,
picking up 4 2 per cent on
their previous record. Nen
ni's agreement that his por
ty would not vote against the
Fanfani government has been
the biggest factor keeping it
in office.

remember the exact location
of those cards that have al
ready been faced and then
turned down again.
I just happen to know the
father of a five-year-old girl
who can barely read, write
and count. Most evenings, aft
er dinner, the two of them sit
cross-legged on the floor, pull
out a ragged deck of Old
Maid cards and spread them
out for "Concentration."
Invariably, the little girl
wins. Her father, as I have
heard from many unpreju
diced people, is a brilliant
man, a man of erudition
and lowering intellect, of
vast memory and incredible
powers of deduction. Yet
he always loses. Night after
night he sils there and loses,
biting his lips and desper
ately holding back the tears:
while she grins and mocks,
laughs and scorns, and even
dares to pal him on the
back condescendingly at
the end of the game.
After she hat happily lod
dled off to bed. her father
pours out the bitterness in
his heart to his wife. "Of
course, what has a kid got
Jo think about?" he says.
"There's nothing on her
mind no problem, no
worries, no bills to pey.
Why shouldn't she remem
ber where the cards are?"
Sometimes, after a partic
ularly humiliating evening,
he will ponder along other
lines. "Do you suppose she
cheats?" he asks his wife,
with a gleam of hope In his
eye. "Could she have mark
ed the cards during the day
while I'm slaving to buy
her iceskales and china
dolls? Do you suppose she
wrote away to a gambling
house for a cold deck? The
game can't be on the level!"
bile, less vulnerable and less
likely in event of war to draw
down Soviet nuclear fire upon
allied lands and cities.
This is roughly the justifi
cation of the enormous stra
tegic shift now taking place
which comes in 'i.ivate from
American officials of high re.
sponsibility.
TT SHOULD provide a far
greater real security for
the West in general. For nu
clear submarines running
loose in a great sea can form
a fluid nuclear firing base
incomparably more difficult
to knock out than the old fix
ed Jupiter sites, whose pre
cise locations are by now
well known to the Russians
as is, say, Times Square.
Unquestionably, a Polaris
missile has a range and strik
ing capacity infinitely super
ior to that of the old Jupiler.
Unquestionably, too, any sane
Russian enemy would have
less reason to attack the
mainlands of Italy and Tur
key if he knew that the seat
of allied nuclear power was
no longer there but was in
stead an ever-moving base be
neath the waters of the Medi
terranean. All the same, the new poli
cy involves considerable gam
bles, though these may be
more political than military
and more psychological than
mortal. Italy and Turkey have
had, theoretically, an equal
voice with the United States
in any decision to set off Ju
piter, though this was mora
apparent than real.
TT HAS always been per-
fectly obvious, if never
mentioned aloud, that in the
terrible event of major war
the United States would nec
essarily dominate any and all
military decisions within the
Western Alliance. The climac
tic nuclear power has always
been here and whatever was
needed in crisis would in any
case be done on the ultimate
decision of the United Slates.
No prior arrangement made
in all good faith could be al
lowed to stand in the way
of such command actions, un
predictable in advance, as
might become necessary sim
ply to save the life of the
whole Western community.
Notwithstanding all this,
however, the withdrawal of
Jupitar undeniably lessens the
smaller allies' feeling of par
ticipation in the right to make
the great trigger decision. For
neither Italy nor Turkey has
the nuclear warheads that go
with Polaris: these are in
monopoly conlrol of the Unit
ed States and must be sup
plied and triggered only by
THUS, the United Stales gov---
eminent cannot pretend to
offer lo these allies any abso
lute parity in the new ar
rangement, though we are go
ing as far as we can go by
encouraging the use of mixed
nation Polaris crews in this
new sea-line of nuclear de
fense. Again, there is the possi
bility of political trouble for
the administration at home.
During the Cuban crisis last
October Nikita Khrushchev
demanded that we remove our
missiles from Turkey as the
price of his evacuation of his
missiles from Cuba. This shab
by deal President Kennedy
instantly rejected.
Now, however, he is in fact
removing those missiles
though he is doing it only
to replace them with some
thing more powerful and less
subject to enemy retaliation.
He gambles here that the
American public will not
think he is doing in January
what he refused to do last
fall. He really isn't; but on
first examination he might
seem to be.
And. on still olhe
r evening?
