Km SUNDAY, JULY 28. 1S63 Freedom While the furore over the Supreme Court's recent prayer and Bible rulings has not been nearlv as loud as it was prayer ruling, still a lot impression that the Court nas "outlawed uoa m the schools. One of the most succinct and forceful re buttals to this that we have seen was in a letter to the editor of a Portland newspaper by F. C Meltzer. of 5206 SE 92nd st., Portland. In part Mr. Meltzer said : "In the Declaration (of Independence), there is no mention of Christ at all only of 'Nature, and of nature's God.' In the Constitution, there is no refer ence whatever to God of any kind, whether of nature , or Christ. "No one has ever put any restrictions on the reli gious of any faith, nor does the latest ruling of the Supreme Court do so. They are free to have their children worship at home and at church before and after school. "They are free to send their children to schools closely allied to, or run by, their particular church or denomination. But they haven't the shadow of a right to impose even the most watered-down version of any religious belief on a captive audience of the the general public, because they happen to be children." ANOTHER brief and cogent argument appear ed in a letter in the San Francisco Chronicle. In part it said : "(Some) contend that God has been dethroned by the U.S. Supreme Court's Tuling banning prescribed prayer in public schools. I cringe when I witness that kind of dogmatic fanaticism. In the first place, God cannot be dethroned by any man. The only ones who have been dethroned are those who would force us to pray. God would not force us to pray. And the Su preme Court cannot stop you from praying, anytime, anywhere you please. The court's intent was but to defend our constitutional right to freedom of choice." That sums up the matter rather neatly. E.A. Musa and the Thtaction of Acting last week in appointing a member of the state public welfare commission to fill a vacancy was legal, and he was within his statutoiy rights. Oregon s creaking Constitution provides tnat when the Governor is out of the state, the next in line of succession shall have full powers of the governorship. So Musa was within wrong. His action, which violates every concept 01 good and responsible marK to. acid to tnose ne of the Senate at the late regular session. THERE is a certain irony in the fact that doing what he did has aroused a renewed hue and crv for Constitutional revision. The irony arises from the fact that, as much as any one man, he helped to defeat the proposed new Constitution in the legislature, and prevent it from coming to a vote of the people. The proposed revised Constitution takes cog nizance of the fact that in this day of instantane ous communication and transcontinental travel in a matter of hours, there is no need to have an "acting" governor at governor is away. It would be a bit more ill-considered and petulant action gave new life to the Constitutional proposal. E.A. Editing Communications We received a personal note the other day which, in part, said : "We differ over whether you edit (that is, correct spelling and punctuation and maybe other things) some or many or any of the letters to the editor you print. They did not in the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph when I lived there years ago, and the results were devastat ing to community crackpots. How say you?" That's a fair question. Others, too, may be interested in how Communications are processed. When we receive a letter which meets our requirements as to length, is not libelous or in poor for other reasons, and is punctuation and spelling, changes at all. X7HEN, however, a letter exceeds the 400-word " limit, we either cut it down in length or return it for revision. We prefer the latter, for there is a danger, in making substantial cuts, oi altering the writer s intended message. Usually we also correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. This is done for several rea sons. Often it is at the request of the writer. But even when not requested, it is our feeling that the writer would prefer it, so that his message is not obscured by errors. QCCASIONALLY a letter will be deliberately written in dialect or slang. In such cases it is usually printed as minor editing we deem Once in a while we ters simpiy Decause we cannot read them. Once in a long while we will let an error in syntax or spelling be indicative or revealing tions or authority. But the general rule little as possible, but the letters printed conform to certain minimum standards of English usage.

I I Huuut uie ouv- V I let Union Alan For at least a decade it has been a stand ard International cliche that the authoritarian Soviet Soc iety, with all its defects, was at least assured of a very high rate of economic growth. In recent years the Soviet growth rate has been noticeably declining, but the cliche has continued to be parroted. It must now be relegated, how ever, to the intellectual bone yard where the dead cliches of history molder into obliv ion. In the year 1962, to be specific, the Soviet Union's rate of economic growth drop ped below 4 per cent per annum. In the days when President Kennedy was prom ising to get America mov ing again," he often pointed with alarm to the higher Soviet growth rate. But in 1962, the U. S. rate of growth was 5.4 per cent, or about 1.5 per cent higher than the Soviet growth rate. . ,' THE U. S. growth rate in -- 1962 also exceeded the av erage growth rate of all coun tries of the NATO alliance. which was 4.8 per cent. And the margin was again wide between the growth rate of the Western allies and the average growth rate of the Warsaw Pact countries in Eastern Europe, which was only 3 per cent. To see the meaning of these statistics, so startling against the background of the long- accepted cliches, it Is needful to remember that there Is nothing abstract about growth rates. Instead, they are the measures of the food and finished goods and other things that each economy produces, for consumption and for national defense, and for investment for further growth. The slippage of the Soviet growth rate below the Amer ican level is all the more dramatic because of certain other recent developments which also help to explain the slippage. Just after New Year's of 1962, in brief, the Soviets loudly announced that they had increased their spending on national defense by a whopping 40 per cent; and Soviet defense spending has clearly continued to rise since that announcement. VTONE of the experts believe, to he sure, that the real Increase of outlay on the Sov iet armed forces was anything ' t -A . &8ChC:$ v, Jt int. t "Why do we allow the extremists to lake over all the lime?" MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON By Joseph Alsop Tribune Syndicate like the claimed increase, which was in part an answer to President Kennedy's Berlin mobilization order. But it is thought a fair guess that defense spending actually had increased by about 25 per cent at the time of the January 1962 announce ment. It is also thought a fair guess that Soviet defense spending has risen by a fur ther 8 or 9 per cent since that time. There is a double signifi cance in these very large in creases in defense outlays, in a period of declining eco nomic growth rate. In the first place, defense has clear ly been taking a growing share of the total Soviet pie each year. In the second place, this very fact must have re duced the share of the pie available for growth-causing investment; and thus the de cline in the Soviet growth- rate must have been accele rated. Former Secretary of the Treasury George M. Hum phrey used to claim there was a dark Marxist plot to win the world for communism, by forcing the U. S. to spend Itself into bankruptcy on na tional defense. In reality, the foregoing facts Indicate that the Soviet Union is less well prepared to carry the burden than the U. S. And these facts were clearly in the mind of Niklta S. Khrushchev when he moved to break the log jam that so long prevented agreement on a nuclear test ban. e e e THE accord reached in Mos cow is many things at once, all of them important. But it will be very surprising, indeed, if this accord is not especially important as a land mark of Soviet internal policy. It is a proof that Khrushchev s "co - existance" works; and thus it sets the stage for a change in Soviet investment priorities that may be quite dramatic in character. There are numerous signs, Including indications of a forthcoming withdrawal of the Soviet garrlsion in Hun gary, that Khrushchev is get ting ready for another attempt to shrink his armed forces' swollen manpower. The last effort, which failed, called for a manpower reduction from 3.6 million to 2.4, with 1.2 million men In uniform, including 200,000 officers, re turning to civil life. If another such reduction is to be attempted, it will be dramatic in itself. If defense spending for other purposes is also held down, several billions of rubles will then become available for invest ment in the productive sec tors of the Soviet ccomony. Finally, if sums thus re leased are Intelligently In vestment (a very big "if") in solving the Soviet farm prob lem, the Soviet Union may wear an altogether new look before too many years have passed.

The ON RATIFYING THE TEST BAN The draft of a test ban treaty, which has been worked out in Moscow by Khrush chev, Harriman and Hailsham, is, it appears, substantially the same treaty as we offered the soviet Union nearly a year ago on Aug. 27, 1962. This proposal in turn was very like the one made by President Eis enhower t o Chairman Llppmana Kill usncnev on Apr. 13, 1959. The two American pro posals were based on the same principle - that tests should be prohibited when, as President Eisenhower stated it, the ban "would require the automatic on-site inspec tion which has created the major stumbling block in the negotiations so far." Presi dent Eisenhower mentioned tests in the atmosphere, which can be detected at great dis tances. He did not mention tests in the water and in outer space, which are ban ned in the American proposal of Aug. 27, 1962, and are In cluded in the draft treaty which has just been negoti ated in Moscow. rpHE core of the opposition to the treaty consists of those who do not want to stop testing under any con ditions. But the official and general popular view has been that tests should be banned if, but only if, they can be policed with ironclad cer tainty. The irreconcilable op position to the new treaty will probably make much of the fact that it is not possible to police outer space. Theoretically, it is possible to shoot a nuclear device a million miles into outer space without anyone else knowing it and then explode it with out its being detected. The answer to those who will make this point is that, if this possibilty were really important, the whole, long, tedious effort under Eisen hower and Kennedy to negoti ate a test ban would have been a deception. For no proposal has ever been made, or could have been made, to insure that a viola tion in outer space would be detected. If outer space can really be used for significant testing, then the two Presi dents have made a dreadful error. In that case, the opposi tion to a test ban has been strangely silent. For it has been warning us that signi ficant and decisive tests can be made underground with out being detected. If, now that underground testing is to be permitted, the opposi tion switches to outer space as a stick to belabor the treaty, they will look like men who are inventing the reasons to conceal their real purposes. THE situation we face Is - this. Tf tho Knnnto rfnpji to ratify this treaty, t h e United States government will be rejecting a treaty which it has itself proposed. For 11 months, there has been before the world an American draft of essentially the same treaty which the Soviet Union has now agreed to. During those 1 1 months, no move was made to withdraw or amend Uie proposal. If then the United States government now re jects what the United States government Itself proposed, how can this be done with a straight face? The real opposition to a test ban is inspired by the hope that, if we keep on test ing, we shall invent the ab- Weapons By ERIC SEVAREID Colorado Springs Space may never be "dominated" to use the President's termin- o 1 o g y by MO V IUIIII ".A, up una s in- 1 finitudc with 'I4'J,r fmC fcfJX' al from encap- i sulaled pay- loads ot nuts, bolts, washers and other serareie "debris," and : it won't be too long before any flight by an astronaut will involve a calculated risk of collision, however small a risk.

Both the hope and the fear rest on an assumption which, though theoretically possible, is in practice most improb able. The assumption is that, as between the two nuclear powers with their gigantic nuclear arsenals, there is in sight somewhere and some how a weapon so absolute that the existing arsenals can be written off as obsolete. Al most certainly the truth of the matter is that in nuclear affairs, as in all human af fairs, the longing for the ab solute is, as the poet said, the unending pursuit of the everlasting object of desire. If, in the pursuit of the per fect, we wreck the best that is possible, the longing for the absolute will be akin to madness. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This modern world note, culled from the Wall Street Journal: Americans are quietly hock ing many new post-war homes to meet bills of the "good life." In the country's greatest era of home ownership, the citizenry has bought some 20 million new homes since the war. Most of them, of course, were bought with mortgages. Now, with a part of the mort gages paid off, new mortgages are being plopped on the houses in epidemic propor tions - to pay for everything from education to travel to pleasure boating. It is impossible to pinpoint precisely how consumers are spending mortgage money not used to buy new homes . . . But the big bulge in mortgage borrowing, talks with mort gage lenders and economists clearly indicate, reflects spending FAR REMOVED from the real estate realm. WHICH is to say: Fnllnwincr the war nart- ple of our country bought homes - some 20 million of them. As soon as the homes were finished and they moved in, they began to pay off the mortgages. The war ended in 1945, and in the ensuing 18 years a considerable part of the mortgages has been paid off. In the meantime, the val ue of their homes has risen So now, instead of paying off the remainder of the mort gages and owning their homes free and clear of debt, thus building up an estate for themselves and their children people are putting NEW MORTGAGES on their homes and using the ready money thus obtained to "pay for everything from education to travel to pleasure boating." QUESTION: " Why do people do things like that? A sufficient answer is that the example was set for them by their government. In 1945, at the end of World War II, the public debt of the United States was $258.6 billion. Now, 18 years later, it stands at about $306 billion, and is heading higher. The present legal debt limit is $309 billion - only $3 bil lion above the present debt And spending goes on un checked. So a new debt limit must be provided. Congress is expected to be asked soon to provide It.

Little wonder that communi cations into and out of these air and space defense com mand posts here run to a "phone bill" or more than a hundred million dollars a year. Manned bombers are still rated the number one exter ior threat to North America and the defenses against them are fantastically complex, re markably efficient, by all the tests so far conducted, and fantastically expensive. At some point the Pentagon will decide that the intercontinen tal ballistics missile has taken over the number one priority threat and a deep cutback will be In order. For this farflung system de fense may be cheaper, but since there is absolutely noth ing but passive U.

Adler itA (c) 1963, Fubliiheri Newspaper Syndicate CENSORSHIP Dear Dr. Adler: In recent timoi, with the flood of printed matter now readily available, the question of literature's influence (gen erally ihs bad) en the young and impressionable, hat be come a public issue. With censorship of works like James Joyce's "U 1 y s s e s" and D. H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterly't Lover" and subsequent reversal, and cries of "pornography!" and "justifiable erotic realisml" has come a need to re examine the rights of the stale, the individual, and the artist. What do the great books authors have to say on the subject of censorship? Leslie H. Palmer. 1830 Highland ave.. Knoxville, Tenn. Dear Mr. Palmer: Censor ship has been advocated since ancient times to protect the moral health of the commu nity. Proponents and oppon ents of censorship disagree as to the effects of the arts on character and conduct, as to what exactly constitutes "ob scenity," and as to whether governmental action or pri vate judgment should decide these matters. Plato and Tolstoy found some of the greatest works of literature to be morally harm ful because they aroused un desirable images and feelings. Aristotle, however, saw thera peutic effects in the emotions released by Greek tragedy. Shelley held that such sup posedly immoral literature ac tually adds to men's moral stature by enlarging and deep ening their emotions and imagination. Similarly, D. H. Lawrence believed that a frank portrayal of sexual de sire and action has a whole some effect on human con sciousness. Montaigne once complained that we are not allowed to speak in plain terms about the act of generation, an act so natural, so necessary, and so just," while we can talk about murder, robbery, and treachery, without blushing. Responsible advocates of censorship in the present age agree with Montaigne that the portrayal of sex is not by itself obscene. What they ob ject to is the use of such de scriptions or enactments mere ly to appeal to prurient inter est - to stimulate lustful thoughts or desires. Works that have this effect, they hold, tend to deprave or cor rupt their readers, auditors, will do so - as it has done so often before. lyHICH is to say: " In these 18 years since the Big War ended the GOV ERNMENT of the United States has been doing exactly what the people have been doing. Instead of paying off its debt, it has been spending high, wide and handsome ADDING TO ITS DEBT in stead of paying off on il. The people, you see, have merely been following the example set for them by their government. pONCLUSION: This is a wonderful world we're living in. We have more of the good things of life than any people ever had before but instead of paying for it as we go we put it on the cuff and leave it for future generations to pay. Peace Indispensable space platforms from which offensive missiles could be cauRht at take-off, there will be little joy in such econom ics. It is the sole business of men in uniform and they seem to me to be becoming a new breed. More sophisticated in tellectually and more able to work lucidly with civilian science than their fathers it is their business to fight in case of war, but if anybody needs a lesson in the Indispen sability of political agree ments to keep the country safe, a visit to this place will do it as nothing else. This is the realm of modern magic and among the things I never knew till now are that whole new families of radar are being bred, including one that will see through jam ming; that we can now take daylight pictures of space ob jects, that with the new Baker-Nunn camera we photo graphed Vanguard at a point 2400 miles out. which is the equivalent of taking a snap shot of a 30 caliber bullet in flight two hundred miles away. Anybody who for a moment doubted the accuracy of those pictures of such gross ma terial as the Cuban missile or viewers, and hence must be banned to protect tha moral state of the community. They have also introduced important qualifications as to what makes a work of art censorable. First, there must be a clearly discernable in tention to produce pornogra phy, what Justice Frankfurter has called "dirt for dirt's sake." Secondly, the work must be judged as a whole, not piecemeal, as a reader skimming a book for "sexy" passages would read. Thirdly, the book must be judged for its presumable effect on tha average, mature person, not on the immature or abnormal. A fourth qualification has been written into recent Eng- lisn law - tnat if a work is judged to be a serious contri bution to literature or culture. it is to be considered for the public good, no matter what its lascivious effects may be. However, even with all these qualifications, censor ship of books, movies, and other arts raises knotty prob lems without our system of government. For instance, does the banning of works on moral grounds violate tha constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression? Can we consistently ban books that offend the community's sense of moral propriety, but not books that offend the political or religious beliefs of the ma jority of our cjtizens? To this question, the Su preme Court has given several answers. On the one hand, it has held that a motion picture may not be banned simply be cause it presents sexual im morality as proper and desira ble conduct, on the grounds that this would be interfer ence with the expression of a point of view. On the other hand, it has held that obscene literature has no "redeeming social importance" and hence is not entitled to the constitu tional protection which is available to writings contain ing unconventional or unpop ular opinions. The latter ruling has aroused the vigorous dissent of Justices Douglas and Black, who hold to a strict construc tion of the Constitution's free dom of speech clause. They believe that the supposed arousing of lascivious thoughts or lustful desires is no grounds for denying a work the right to be pub lished, so long as the arousal cannot be shown to have led to illegal actions. In the absence of such proof, they are for letting such literatura be published, leaving it to the individual readers to de cide what books are morally harmful, just as they are per mitted to accept or reject political and religious views. You can win 54-volume set of the Great Books of the Western World by writ ing a letter, not to exceed 150 words, incorporating a question of general interest for Dr. Adler to consider for inclusion in this column. Each week he will select at first prixe winners tha writers of the three best letter!. He will use ONE of these letters at a basis for a future column and will answer it in terms of the intellectual heritage of . the Great Bookt-443 works by 74 authors, tpanning 30 ceniuriet of thought. Ad dress the letters to Dr. Mortimer J. Adler, in car of this newspaper. sites was eons out of date. The whole system, includ ing control of our own bomb ers, is so fool-proof that no tions of fatal mistake by gad get in the manner of "Fail Safe" are reduced to absurd ity. Any serious counter of fensive blunders will have to be blunders of human Judg ment. Nevertheless, our continen tal defense against the old fashioned manned bomber has its Achilles' heel. This lies in SAGE, the warehouse - size computer systems which ara too sensitive to be put under ground as this whole complex will be in another two years. The SAGE centers are vulner able to missiles, and knocked out, much of our interceptor plane and Bomarc anti-bomber missile defense would ba gravely compromised. However one views it, thera can never be ultimate safety in the process of offensive and defensive weapons leapfrog ging one another. May tha good Lord bless and guide presidents, premiers, and all the unsung diplomatic nego tiators of good will. (Distributed 1963. by The Hall Syndicate. Inc.) (All Rights Reserved)
