The Undiscovered Bourne
How does one ever reconcile himself to the
inevitability of death?
The omnipresent question was given startling
immediacy a week ago last Tuesday when we
learned of the death of the young Air Force
officer from Kingsley Field whom we had known
slightly.
We sat next to Capt. Harold H. Smith at the
dinner honoring Sen. Barry Goldwater a few
weeks ago. Seldom have we met such a vital,
totally "alive" person. He was interested in his
job, devoted to his family and absolutely fasci
nated with the outdoors of Oregon.
One day about two weeks ago his Voodoo jet
developed trouble during a flight near Sprague
River. His radar observer parachuted to safety,
but Captain Smith's body was found a short
distance from the wreck of his plane.
e e e e e
WE WOULD not presume on so brief an ac
quaintance to say that his death was a deep
personal loss, for it wasn't. We were shocked
mainly, perhaps, because if ever someone was
livine life to its fullest, and enjoying every min
ute of it, it was that young officer.
Nearly on the instant of reading the news
paper account of his death, we were moved
nav. impelled to consider once again what a
totally haphazard matter this business of dying
really is.
Man has always, we suppose, attempted to
discover some rhyme or reason to why certain
people die untimely ("only the good die young"),
while others, by common judgment much less
worthy, continue to live a normal allotted span.
But the frustrating answer seems to be that
there really is no explanation to it all. It would
seem, at least from a mortal point of view, a
situation of complete happenstance.
CINCE it is, obviously, an eventuality that all
men of all times have had to deal with, the
various civilizations, cultures and religions the
world has known have all worked out individual
answers (perhaps "responses" is a better word)
to the dilemma.
It is not our purpose here to survey those
widely differing attitudes toward death, but rath
er to point out that most of them have been pre
mised on the notion that his last breath on earth
is not necessarily the end of the individual.
Valhalla, the Elysian fields, the "Happv Hunt
ing Grounds" are all creations born of man's
necessity to be able to confront the prospect of
death with equanimity.
Mostly, it Beems, man has need of a convic
tion of the possibility of a "new" life to help him
pass out of this one with poise, Too, the hope
of an afterlife is often used in some cultures as
a lever to encourage moral conduct during life
on earth.
1X7HEN for some reason a culture fails to pro
vide an afterlife, efforts are frequently di
rected towards making death appear to be a
phenomenon that need not be feared.
The Roman poet Lucretius, whose irreligious
philosophy had some currency during the transi
tion period between the decline of belief in the
old adopted Greek gods and the Impending rise
of Christianity, summed up his point of view in
a poem entitled "Why Fear Death; "
We quote m part:
"But to be snatched from all the
household joys,
From thy chaste wife, and thy dear
prattling boys,
Whose little arms about thy legs arc cast,
And climbing for a kiss prevent their
mother's haste,
Inspiring secret pleasure through
thy breast
Ah! these shall be no more: thy
friends oppressed
Thy care and courage now no more
shall free;
Ah 1 wretch, thou criest, ah I miserable me !
One woeful day sweeps children, friends,
and wife,
And all the brittle blessings of my life!
Add one thing more, and all thou sayest
is true;
Thy want and wish of them is
vanished too:
Which, well considered, were a
quick relief
To all thy vain imaginary grief.
For thou shalt sleep, and never
wake again,
And, quitting life, shalt quit thy
living pain."

Would You Like To Win That Girl?"

THE PRESIDENT IN
GERMANY
Tne President's German
speeches must have been pre
pared as a scries which was
to reach a

dramatic c 1 i
max in West
Berlin. At the
airport near
C o 1 ogne and
In his press
conference at
Bonn, Mr.
Kennedy talk-
Llppmana ed to the Old
Guard in Germany. He did
his best to convince Dr. Ade
nauer and his followers that
the United States in general
and he as President are relia
ble - which for the Old Guard
means that not only are we
prepared to defend West Ger
many with nuclear arms, but
also that the United States
will give West Germany the
veto on any negotiations about
Germany.
After this opening phase of
reassurance to the Old Guard,
the second phase took place in
the address on Tuesday at the
Paulsktrche In Fra n k f u r t.
Here the President was calling
upon the liberal opposition,
which Dr. Erhard represents,
to look abroad across the Eng
lish Channel and across the
Atlantic Ocean.
In the third and climactic
phase, at the Free University
in West Berlin, the President
himself looked across the Iron
curtain. In words that derive
from Pope John, the Presi
dent looked forward to "rec
onclllation" and then, assum
ing to speak for the West
said that, provided the Com
munist states do not interfere
with freedom of other states,
we arc not hostile to any
people or system.
INDEED, in some cultures, death under certain
conditions, such as on the battlefied, has been
glorified to such an extent that it is actively
sought, or at least approached without the slight
est evidence of dread. Probably the best con
temporary example of this were the Japanese

Whatever the a priori intellectual set, what
ever emotional preparation the deceased may
have had before he died, one thing is certain. The
pain of death is with the quick who must go
on living and not with the dead.
And while it is no consolation to someone
who is suffering from the knife-edced iain o
losing a dear one, it is also certain that life always
goes on. And death, however one regards it
comes to be for the mature person just another

WAS, of course, unavold-
blc that In none of the
speeches was there a hint of
how reassurance, llberaliza
lion and the reconciliation arc
to be brought about. In his
news conference, the Presl
dent seemed to Imply that the
solution of the practical prob
lems was not near enough to
talk about it. For the reunlfi
cation of Germany, he seemed
to rely on "time." For the
reunification of Europe, he
relied on "the winds of
change."
But the real difficulty in
making a western policy for
the unification of Germany
and of Europe is not that these
problems are vague and dis
tant and shrouded in the fog
of Eastern Europe and Com
munist Russia. The real diffi
culty Is that there Is an un-
THE UTOPIANS
Dear Dr. Adlert What did
the framars of Utopian so
cieties inland to prove by
their theories? War they
applauded or viewed with
alarm? What have been
the main arguments for
and against Utopian
thought? Are there any
Utopian thinkers at tha
present time?

resolved conflict in the West
ern Alliance over whether
the Initiative shall lie in Paris,
with the support of Bonn, or
in Washington.
e e
BECAUSE the President was
, acutely aware of the fact
that his leadership of the West
is challenged, he could not
and did not go beyond ideals
and his general assurances to
any kind of definition of the
policy which might achieve
what he Is talking about. -
The fact is that there can
be no definition of a Euro
pean policy without an under
standing with General De
Gaulle. For there is not the
smallest evidence that the
cheering German crowd
means that there is In West
Germany the will or the pow
er or the political courage to
challenge General De Gaulle's
primacy on the western con
tinent. And even if there were
such an inclination on the
part of the Germans, France's
strategic position and econom
ic power are such that she
is an essential partner in any
Western Alliance.
The President, who was
walking a slippery path, was
sure - footed in Bonn and
Frankfurt, and he was bold
in Berlin. But there is less
doubt than ever that a seri
ous discussion of transatlan
tic affairs will have to lie
between Washington and
Paris.
see
BEFORE such a discussion
could become profitable,
the President will have to
dispel the idea that our con
ception of Europe and of the
Atlantic Community is bound
in the end to prevail over
the false ideas of General Dc
Gaulle. It is intoxicating to
believe that the tides of his
tory are with you, that you
are the wave of the future.
But history is not often a
sure thing, and men living
amidst it rarely know which
way it is going.
General De Gaulle, who
has now acquired a very im
portant following all over
Western Europe, may not be,
as the administration likes to
think, a mere voice of the
past. For while his haughti
ness and elegance are by mod
ern standards archaic, his
Judgment about the cold war
and his estimate of the role
of alliances in the nuclear
age may be prophetic.
For myself, I have come
to think more and more that
the revival of the Western
Alliance depends upon a very
good understanding of the
new ideas that are coming
out of France.
Dear Mrs. Sharpe: Utopia
the ideal state of human af
fairs has been a perennial
theme of Western thinkers
ever since Plato's day.
Through their descriptions of
Imaginary societies, authors
have presented their views of
the imperfection of our pres
ent state and how it should be
changed. Plato's "Republic",
for example, provides a mag
nificent vision of the good
society, in which justice and
harmony pervade the indi
vidual soul and the political
community.
This type of literature is
more closely connected with
speculative thought than with
entertaining romances of the
science-fiction variety. The
Utopian thinker has a defi
nite idea of the nature of man
and society, of what they can
be and should be, but are not
now. Hence, he presents us,
not in abstract theory, but in
concrete imagery, with a fic
tional society which embo
dies human reality more fully
than the actual society in
which we live.
The argument for Utopian
writings is that they enable
us to get a fresh picture of
man's nature and destiny, un
distorted by our customary
way of looking at things. The
Utopians do not describe how
human affairs are conducted
in Athens or Podunk, but how
they might be handled in
Utopia, which literally means
"nowhere." This is a true pic
ture of the human commu
nity, says the Utopian, not as
it is today, but as it may be
tomorrow or the day after to
morrowin "the journey of
ten thousand years.
The opposition to Utopian
thought is also of ancient
lineage. Aristophanes wrote a
play making fun of Plato's
Utopian ideas of feminine
equality and communism
Rabelais, Swift, Aldous Hux
ley, and George Orwell have
also contributed satires to the
anti-Utopian tradition.
The burden of these works
is that Utopian thinkers pre
sent an unrealistic and un
realizable picture of man and
society. In striving for an irn
possible imperfection, they
achieve instead a ridiculous
or horrible state, much worse
than before. It Is better, says
the anti-Utopians, to start out
from the customary way of
doing things and work for
their improvement rather
than to attempt to imitate
some imaginary ideal.
Karl Marx's criticism of the
nineteenth - century Utopian
socialists, such as Fourier,
Proudhon, and Owen, was
somewhat different. He
agreed with them that a per
fectly free and equal society
can be established in which
man will achieve perfect ful
fillment of his capacities. But
he considered them unrealis
tic visionaries because they
proposed to accomplish this
purely through voluntary and
pontancous activity, inspired
by reason and justice.
Marx, on the contrary, held
that the new age would come
through inevitable historical
processes, determined by ma
terial forces, and marked by
cataclysmic wars and revolu
tions. He himself, however,
was open to the charge of be
ing Utopian, since he pointed
to a state of affairs that had
never existed and which re
quired a radical change In hu
man nature.
The death of Utopian think
ing in the past few decades
has alarmed reactions from
commentators who feel that
this points to a dangerous lack
of vision in our age of con
formity and affluence. One
noted or notorious present
day Utopian thinker is Paul
Goodman, a sort of post-
Freudian Thoreau. In a re
cent work, "Utopian Essays
and Practical Proposals," he
vigorously scorns the view
that Utopian thought is im
practical. It is the Utopians,
he says, who are the practical
realists, and who believe in
really useful machines, really
productive work, and in poll
tics aimed at the common
good.

LILY WHITE VS. LIBERAL
Washington - Civil rights
long since divided the Demo
cratic Party into hostile north
ern and south
e r h wings.
And now the
mounting ra
cial crisis
promises to
an equally
bitter division
in the Repub
lican Party.
As yet, only
the first
grumblings and mutterings of
the coming battle are to be
heard in various Republican
quarters. But on present
form, it is a reasonable pre
diction that the next Repub
lican convention will be dom
inated, and its outcome may
be decided, by a knock-down-drag-out
fight about the Re
publican stand on civil rights.
There are three reasons for
this prediction. In the first
place, the recent Republican
rally at Denver rang with
sanguine discussion of the Re
publican Party's chance of
victory as a "white man's
party," with the hero of the
Southern conservatives, Sen.
Barry Goldwater, as its
standard-bearer.
Secondly, both sides have
already thrown down their
gauges of battle although
surprisingly little attention
has been paid to this striking
fact.
e e e .
SENATOR Goldwater, for his
part, while saying that he
was for some sections of
President Kennedy's civil
rights bill, has taken his stand
four-square with the South
ern Democrats on the guts of
the matter. In other words,
he has attacked the proposal
to desegregate public facili
ties as an offense against
states' rights, and he has
sworn that he will never vote
for cloture to get a civil rights
bill through the Senate.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York has responded
to Goldwater by coming out
for the entire civil rights bill
without qualification, and
urging all Congressional Re
publicans to support it. In

Over on the other side of the
fence, in California, Governor
Brown wanted a withholding
tax as a device to raise
money in the seemingly least
painful way. The California
legislature refused to give it
to him.
He indicated that he will be
willing to "retreat" from the
withholding tax plan if the
legislature (at a special ses
sion to be called to begin on
July 8) presents him with
"alternate financing methods
which will achieve long range
budget solutions."
which seems quite logical
and as it should be.
WHAT is a withholding tax?
This is how it works:
Withholding takes it out of
the paycheck meaning that
on each payday the employer
withholds a certain amount
from the employee's wages
and turns the amount with
held over to the government.
WHAT HURTS.
So
The recipients of paychecks
demand an INCREASE so
that their take-home pay may
be the same as it was before
TJUT-
" There's a catch to it.
The increased wage (to give
the employee as much take-
home pay as he had before
the withholding started) in
creases the employer's
UUoio.
s-
Having nan his costs in
creased, the employer is com
peiiea to raise his prices
Whereupon the employee
when he begins to put two
and two together, discovers
that while his TAKE HOME
pay (after his wage increase)
is the same as it used to be
before the withholding rig
marole started his KEEP AT
HOME pay is considerably re
duced by the higher prices for
the things he has to buy.

see
rpHIS was a primary motive,
in fact, of Governor Scran-
ions decision to become a
favorite son candidate. anH
thus to establish iron-clad
control of Pennsylvania's
large convention delegation.
The other motive was the
Governor's desire to teach a
lesson to the Republicans who
have been saying the "north
east can be written off"
who are precisely the Repub
licans talking about a "white
man's party."
In every one of the states
with large convention dele
gations - California, Michi.
gan, Illinois, Ohio and so on
down the line - the need to
make the choice already made
by Governor Scranton Is also
causing heart-searching and
position-taking.
In California, to name the
most notable example, a pri
mary fight is rather plainly
shaping up. A pro-Goldwater
delegation is already in for
mation. And the more mod
erate California Republicans
are already pressing Sen.
Thomas Kuchel to stand as
California's favorite son at
the head of a moderate dele
gation, if this is needed to
whip the Goldwaterites.
Every kind of attempt will
of course be made to blur the
issue which has just begun
to divide the Republicans, as
it has already divided the
Democrats. It will be pointed
out, with pious indignation,
that Senator Goldwater is no
racist, which Is certainly true;
and much will be made of
the fact that as a young man,
he helped to desegregate the
Phoenix, Ariz., school system.
BUT In the present context,
thpsp far-f arp almrtct ai
irrelevant as the fact that
Goldwater is an extremely
pleasant human being. He
advocates a Republican strat
egy primarily keyed to an
appeal to Southern conserva
tive votes. He wants his party
to put states' rights above
civil rights. He is against
cloture, even if needed to pass
a civil rights bill. That adds
up, nowadays, to being against
civil rights.
If the Republican Parly
nominates a standard-bearer
who is against civil rights for
all practical purposes, the Re
publican Party will then,
quite unavoidably, assume the
role of the "white man's par
ty." The practical temptations
to do this are obvious. Indeed,
they have been forthrightly
underlined by Senator Gold
water himself, who has often
pointed out that "the Repub
licans can never get Negro
votes anyway."
But this is a moral decision
as well as a political decision;
and it is to be hoped that a
majority of Republicans will
see it that way.

He was convinced the people
of Berlin were different, su

Germans, even those in the
western Republic. He did not
feel a spiritual identity with
them. "Would they give up
their TV sets and their new
cars if that were the price of
re-unification?" he said. "I

I suspect he would be

is less worry here than there
that the Yanks will suddenly
decide to pull out one day.
There is probably less worry
about an American "deal"
with Moscow and much less
fussing about the so-called
"Americanization of Europe.
(Air.crica, after all, has been
Europeanized for 300 years.)
It is impossible to think of
this country submitting to a
French leadership of Europe.
Germany is becoming the
most vital nation in Europe
and knows It; she is becoming
willy nilly, America's key ally
in Europe, and she knows
that, too. It remains only for
an anti-nuclear Labor govern
ment to replace the Conserva
tives in England and for a
patched-up political coalition
- possibly Popular Front in
structure - to replace De
Gaulle in France, for Ger
many's new position in the
Alliance to bc revealed to
everybody, the Russians not
included, since they go to
s'ecp with this thought on
their minds every current
night.
