Al Simpson succeeds Lt.
(Jg) Jean Eberhart as head
coach at Southern Oregon col
lege. From Arthur Perry's "Ye
Smudge Pot" column: "An ap
plication (or gasoline has
come addressed to the 'Ra
tional Board.' This seems to
have been mistake."
The "do it yourself" craze of a few years ago
has, at least in part, spent itself. Some handyman
types still manage to make the repairs around
the house and yard, but by and large the odd
jobs are once again being handled by the pro
fessionals. This is rather too bad. For, as a friend of ours
remarked the other day, everyone needs to do
things for himself.
It may be small things or large ones, but one
of the great satisfactions in life is to look upon
one's own handiwork. It may be a pair of bellows
one has handcrafted for fun; it may be a short
story or novel, or even an editorial ; it may simply
be the, repair of an electric appliance. But the
feeling of accomplishment, of having done some
thing constructive, yourself, is a good feeling.
a
THIS feeling must be one of the elements that
goes into motivating people to public service.
AH too often, in these complex days, we do
not think of government and public service as
do-it-yourself projects. We elect our councilmen
and mayors, our county officials, our legislators
and governors and congressmen and presidents,
and then sit back and expect them to do it all.
We are quick to castigate them when they
fail, slow to nraise them when they succeed. But
most of us don t have the slightest thought about
doine anythine to help them in their jobs.
Do-it-yourself government is for the few, not
the many. And this is too bad in a land which
boasts of "self government," and "government
by the consent of the governed."
- a a a
THE difference between "self government" and
"o-nvpi-nrruant hu cnnspnl." ia siih.d :i n J i;i 1 nr
can be so. It is, in effect, the same distinction as
the old one about whether this is a democracy
or a republic. It is, of course, both.
But "consent" government can be either pas
sive as in too many cases it is or active
Active "consent" government implies a constant
interest in the processes and decisions of govern
ment, and participation in the form of a running
dialogue with our elected representatives. Pas
sive consent government implies letting the
elected representatives do it all themselves.
self government, on the other hand, implies
active and personal participation, not only in
voting, but also in making the decisions ot government.

Multilateral Nuclear Force in NATO
Still U.S. Objective; Problems Remain
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
United Press International
Paris-il'PI'-The United States
is busy plugging President
Kennedy's multilateral nucle
ar force plan in Europe this
week.
American officials hope suf
ficient agreement will be
reached lo have a fairly sub
stantial blueprint ready in
time for approval by the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization council of ministers
in Ottawa next month.
Bui American and other
Western officials concede that
what is likely to come out of
all this discussion for the time
being is only a pooling under
a separate NATO command of
nuclear forces or potential.
President Kennedy's project
of a truly multilateral or mixed-manned
force of surface
ships equipped with Polaris
missiles and with crews of
mixed nationalities will take
much longer to work out.
The nuclear force was a
leading topic in diplomatic
talks by U. S. Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and other
officials during the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization con
ference in Paris this week.
It also is the main purpose
of U. S. Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara's hard
sell trip to London and Paris.
What the United Stales
hopes to have ready for ap
proval by May is a blueprint
for an initial or first-stage nu
clear force, consisting of three
American Polaris submarines,
Britain's V-bombcr force,
some unils drawn from the
U. S. Strategic Air Command,
and smaller units, already in
NATO, earmarked by Italy,
Belgium, the Netherlands and
other interested countries.
The British want this force
placed under a separate com
mand in NATO. They have
proposed that the man in
charge should have the rank
of deputy to Supreme Allied
Commander Lyman L Lem-
nnzcr. incy want tins com
mand to be given to a Briton.
Countries which have
shown interest arc Britain,
Italy, West Germany, Bel
gium, the Netherlands. Greece
and Turkey.
Rusk. McNamara and other
American officials also are
continuing lo push actively
their second-stage plan for a
truly multilateral force of sur
face ships with crews of mixed
nationalities. But the more
this is discussed, the greater
become the technical difficulties.

The 'Silent Spring' Debate
Whom is one to believe?
Two documents are on the desk as this is
written. One is a news release from the National
Audubon Society; the other is a statement of
"Facts on the use of pesticides," prepared by
New York State College of Agriculture and as
sociated institutions.
The first is headed "DDT use has been blun
der, Audubon spokesman says." In part, it states:
"The general use of residual insecticides such as
DDT for the past 20 years in America has been n
blunder of the first magnitude.' according to a spokes
man for the National Audubon Society.
"In a statement to a pesticides studv committee
appointed by Gov. John Dcmpscy of Conneclicul,
Audubon biologist Roland C. Clement called for a
'broad reassessment' of present pest-control methods
ss recommended by federal and state agricultural and
health agencies. He urged abandonment of the outdoor
use of DDT and the similar chlorinated-hydrocarbons,
or other insecticides that do not really break down or
disappear in nature.
'The facl now stands out clearly even though
It is still denied by many doctrinaire, spokesman for
agriculture and the chemical industry that these
residual insecticides arc poisoning the whole environ
ment,' Mr. Clement said . . ."
THE other document was a bit more muted,
but its burden was that chemical pesticides
are necessary, that they arc as safe as science

PERSONAL PREJUDICES
The real danger of our tech
nological age is not so much
that machines will begin to
think like men, but that men
will begin to think like ma
chines that machine-oriented
thinking will dominate us,
to the exclusion of morality,
of conscience, of value-judg
ments..
By the lima a speaker
says, "To make a long story
short," ha has alrady made
it too long.
Those who refuse lo modi
fy a system argue lhat modi
fication is likely to produce
disorder; but since conditions
in any system are always
changing, it may very well
turn out that the refusal to
modify the system is itself a
"modification" which may
produce disorder. (This is the
paradox inherent in the con
servative position, which so
often loses everything because
it is unwilling to change any
thing.) Hale, no less than love,
distorts our estimate of re
ality; as Nietzsche said of
the militaristic spirit: "How
good bad music and bad
reasons sound when one
marches against an enemy!"
The only time most people
arc aware of their conscience
is when they can say, with
more than a touch of smug
ness. "I have a clear con
science about thai." When is
their conscience unclear?
Sometimes wa remain

cause its opponents are so

this way, blind opposition

on ships internationally man
ned under an international
command within NATO.
At the same time, the Presi
dent also undertook to pro
vide Polaris missiles for a
national, submarine - borne
British deterrent. But the
Prime Minister agreed to
place this British national de
terrent under the internation
al command of the multilat
eral deterrent, except in cases
of national emergency not in
volving NATO.
a
TJF.RE, then, was a complex
contraption. The multi
lateral force was to be some
thing like a foreign legion,
but with both officer corps
and troops internationally re
cruited from the participating
NATO allies. And the high
command of this novel sort
of nuclear striking force was
also, in normal circumstances,
to control Britain's purely
national nuclear force.
No British governmental
schizophrenia has been pro
voked by the Anglo - Ameri
can Polaris bargain. But the
attitude towards the other
half of the Nassau package,
the internationally - manned
multilateral nuclear force, is
schizophrenic in a marked de
gree. Prime Minister Macmillan,
his Foreign Secretary, Lord
Home, Minister of Defense
Peter Thorncycroft, and the
Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs, Edward Heath, have
all backed the plan for a mul
tilaterial nuclear force in
NATO, albeit without much
enthusiasm on some occasions.
ON THE other hand, al
though they have refrain
ed from any public attack, the
Minister of War, John Pro
fumo, the Air Minister, Hugh
Frazier, and the uniformed
chiefs of the British armed
services have made no secret
of the fact that the very idea
of the multilateral force gives
them gooseflesh. The inter
national, "mixed" manning
is what they object to.
This sort of open diver
gence of view is a new thing
in British governments. It is
all the more significant when
you consider the meaning of
the opposition lo the inter
nationally manned mulli
laleral force.
The multilateral nuclear
deterrent within NATO, if it
is finally organized, will first
of all constitute the germ or
embryo of a truly European
deterrent. To all intents and
purposes, it will really be a
European deterrent if the
President accepts the German
proposal for eventual control
of the force by a majority
vote of the contributing mem
bers; for the U. S. veto will
then be eliminated.
Secondly, no such European
or NATO deterrent can pos
sibly be organized without
the mixed, international man
ning which is so disliked here.
On the one hand, the Ger
mans must obviously be per
mitted to participate in any
such force.

8 Arthur Hoppe mjwSm. -
En Route to South America
-I was just joshing. I'm not
really going to South America
to promote Geographical
Birth Control. I'm really go
ing to South America to re
examine our foreign aid pro
gram. Everybody's been do
ing It. For years.
Only lately we're getting
very hard-headed about for
eign aid. "We gotta be hard
headed," says Congressman
Otto Passman, who wis-hes to
trim foreign aid funds. With
a meat axe. And he says some
of these countries we give
money lo arc untrustworthy.
Furthermore, he's right. We
slip a zillion dollar? to South
Conecriina. And Ihe next
thing you know South Con
certina is voting against us
in the U.N. and expropriating
our bananas. It's the height
of political dishonesty: these
countries just won't stay
bought!
But I've got a plan: We
knock off slipping these coun
tries cold cash to make them
do what we want. Instead,
what we do is send them
bottles of whiskey for Christ
mas. And maybe suitably in
scribed cuff links. Because
that's the American way!
a
You know how it is. If you
wish to win Ihe warm, endur
ing friendship of the cop on
the beat or the free press or
a client you hate, do you send
him a $10 bill? Nonsense. That
would be unethical. You send
him a S10 bottle. If he's an
important client, you also
buy him a $25 dinner. And
if he's very important you
may wish to supply him with
one of those young ladies of
the evening. Who are excel
lent at creating good will.
So my Bottle Diplomacy
program would be far more
ethical. Which would make us
all feel better, I'm sure. More
important, it would be far
more inexpensive. Which
would make Mr. Passman feel
better, I'm sure. Statistics
show the S100 billion cash
money wc' e spent on foreign
aid would be enough to bribe
every single foreigner in the
world with a S10 bottle threo
times over! And all wc really
want to bribe are the foreign
officials. Oh, we'll be way
ahead.
I'd suggest a strict set of
standards be established. To
prevent corruption. A foreign
legislator, for example, would
rale a bottle. An elected offi
cial should get a bottle and
cuff links. While an El Presi
dente rales at least a weekly
free lunch, a case of the best
on his birthday and seven
fashion models.
Along with each gift, of
course, goes a nole. Like: "Hi
there, Amigo. Haven't seen
much of you lately. How's ths
Missus, if any? And by the
by, which way are you plan
ning to vote on that bill na
tionalizing Ihe local branch
of our friendly garter belt
industry? Sure hope you think
about it. Twice. Your Pal,
Uncle Sam."
Yes, sir. as long as we think
of our foreign aid program
as a bribe to make people do
what we want politically, I
say Bottle Diplomacy is tha
only hard-headed, practical
approach. Because in bribery,
it's the personal touch that
counts.
The allernativc. obviously,
is the soft-headed approach.
This holds we should simply
give what money we can af
ford to those who need it. Not
so much for their good as for
our own. But wc could never
get the likes of Mr. Passman
to vote for that. Of course.
wc might send him a bottle . . .

The big news as this is writ

about it. It's the conferring of
Honorary u. s. citizenship on
Sir Winston Churchill, Brit
ain's greatest living Great. He
couldn't make it to Washing

know, and he's too valuable to
be risked.
But the next best thing was
provided. The British Broad

to relay pictures and sound in

munications satellite, so he
could sit in London and watch
the ceremony in the 1 it tic
flower garden just outside
President Kennedy's While

much more comfortably, as if
he were there in person.

SIR WINSTON is half Amer

THE other hand, the
only alternative to inter
national manning is national
manning - and this would
mean a German nuclear force
with as much potential inde
pendence as the British force.
The device of international
manning was in truth adopted
to permit German participa
tion while avoiding the crea
