Fertility Control
Editor's note: The Oregon Health Officers associa
tion met at Diamond Lake recently, and among other
matters, "fertility control" was under discussion. Fol
lowing the meeting. Dr. Harold M. Haugen, medical
director of the Planned Parenthood Clinic, Denver,
Colo., gave the following summarizing statement. It
is reprinted from the Oregon Health Bulletin.
Until ten years ago family planning was of
concern to very few people. Family planning is
today a matter of world-wide importance to every-
one regardless of race,
population, local and abroad, is the world's num
ber one problem when considered from the stand'
point of poverty, disease, and hunger.
From the dawn of time until 1960, we have
arrived at three billion people in the world. If
our present birthrate is projected into the future,
the second three billion people will be here by
the year 2,000.
Family planning becomes a problem when

THE public health departments have the organ

public health knows where the problem patients
are, and public health is painfully aware of the
cost of these patients to the people in their area.
New contraceptive devices are available
which are non-prescription items and which can
be disseminated to welfare patients without an
increase in medical personnel.
In a study of 235 welfare families in Meck

period, there were no unplanned pregnancies and

Face the
We recently discussed the problems touched
upon in the article printed above with a woman
who has been active in both welfare and public
health activities. She said there is a crying need
for family planning information for families re
ceiving welfare and public health assistance.
She cited several instances of women with
more children than the family wanted or could
afford, who were still having them, and who did
not know what to do to prevent it.
Assisting these people (only, of course, when
such assistance is requested) would, she insisted,
be of immeasurable benefit, both in humanitarian
terms, and in terms of tax dollars.
A CHILD born into a family on welfare 1
" has two strikes against it to begin with,
ticularly if it is an unwanted child. Each such
child costs the taxpayers far, far more over a
period of years than would family planning or
devices or advice.
But, because it is a touchy and controversial
subject, such a step has, until now, hardly been
discussed in public health or welfare circles.
The time has come to face the facts, and
advance such a program, both at the state level
through the state board of health and the state
welfare commission and at the county level,
through their local counterparts.
fPHE only ones who could object are those who
believe that birth control, under any circum
stances and using any methods, is wrong. This, we
believe, would be a minority in today's society.
Such beliefs, of course, merit respectful atten
tion. But they should not be allowed to prevail
over the desires, needs and opinions of others.

Summary All Wrong
10 the Editor: Your sum
mary of the Constitution was
11 wrong. The first three
words tell us of whom our
Government consists. It is not
the Supreme Court, nor Con
gress, nor the President. The
government consists of, "We
the people." All others are
Just representatives.
Equality is pretty hard to
come by knowing that the
authors of our Constitution
were slave holders. The only
equality and welfare is spell
ed out in the Bill of Rights.
No other was promised. Wel
fare, subsidies, jobs, security,
handouts, health, foreign aid,
social security, etc., are not
mentioned. These are rights
that a man must gel for him
self. If a government is big
enough to give us these, it
will also take them away.
Khrushchev says "We can
not expect America to jump
from Capitalism to Commu
nism, but we can assist her
elected leaders to give the
Americans small doses of so

on thin ice. She calls our

Good News
To the Editor: The Presi
dent s message on the test
ban treaty was good news for
all the world to hear.
It means that, barring acci
dents, we will have peace on
earth for quite a while yet.
Even have peaceful co-existence
with Cuba, for sure, as
only an insane man could
commit himself and his peo
ple to suicide.
It took Uncle Sam about
five years to build the urani
um bomb and light the fuse
in order to save what was
left of our Navy. Then the
real atomic race started and
kept on until as of last year
we reached a real stalemate
with Russia.
So now the action request
ed by the President for Con
gress to approve of the sig
natures in the test ban treaty
will soon be given the O.K.
as the subject transcends par
ty lines. And the great ma
jority of the men In Congress
don't want to see the world
go up in smoke.
Aside from that we have
still Mao Tse Tung and his
clan to reckon with, but it
is likely to take ten more
years before China can send
up a space ship. So the Yel
low Peril is not an immedi
ate threat.

ulation that new threats to
Berlin's access routes may
crop up at a meeting of the

Resignation of Day Offers
Kennedy Another Opportunity
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press International
The .resignation of Post
master General J. Edward
Day offers President Kennedy
another opportunity to in
dulge his anxiety for a Negro
in the cabinet. Kennedy's first
choice for that cabinet post
may have been a Negro.
During the 1960 presiden
tial campaign, the Repub
licans played politics in stum-
blebum fashion with the idea
of a Negro cabinet member
There was no need for candi
date Kennedy to match that
maneuver precisely during his
presidential campaign. The
Democratic platform and his
own shrewd plays for Negro
votes were ample to offset
Republican maneuvers.
Once elected, however,
President Kennedy had Negro
problems. He and his platform
had promised - guaranteed -some
instant civil rights. It
immediately became obvious
that the entire Kennedy legis
lative p ro g r a m probably
would be scuttled if the new
President proposed broad
gauge civil rights legislation
to the newly elected Congress.
The decision was to put off
the issue.
Negroes Were Pleated
Negroes were pleased by
Kennedy's selection of
Negroes for well-paid federal
jobs. They were equally
pleased by constant evidence
of the President's concern for
Negro problems. Thus it was
that the President-elect ap
peared on the porch of his
Georgetown home in Decem
ber, 1960, with Rep. William
Dawson, a Chicago Democrat
and a Negro. The President
elect told assembled news
men - and Dawson agreed -that
the congressman had
been offered and had refused
the postmaster general's post.
Here was another evidence
of Kennedy's interest and
confidence in Negroes - but
was it? The question arose;
Was the offer to Dawson for
real? The Chicago Daily News
printed an editorial under the
caption:
"We Can't Believe It.
Dawson's record should keep
him out of the cabinet."
The News pictured Dawson
as the absolute political boss
in Chicago of an empire of
corruption, fraud and crime.
If so, the nomination of Daw
son would have invited severe
scrutiny and, probably, re
jection by the U.S. Senate.
Kennedy scarcely could have

TJANKY-panky in the news:
There's that suite at Otis
Air Force base in Massachu
setts. Somehow the reporters
got the idea that it was pre
pared for Mrs. Jacqueline
Kennedy when he has a baby
next month. They were as
sured, however, by Pierre Sal
inger, of the White House
staff, that such was not the
case. He described it as a
residence for visiting Air
Force officers - what in the
parlance of the armed serv
ices is known as "transient
officers' quarters."
These quarters for officers
on transient duty are normal
ly a bit on the austere side.
Their furnishings are design
ed normally for exclusively
MASCULINE use. Their nor
mal occupancy is purely tem
porary. 'PHIS suite at Otis base is
QUITE different, depart
ing sharply from the accept

Two elaborately furnished
sitting rooms; a reception-sitting
room; six bedrooms; a
nursery: a recently modern

stationing secret service
agents.
And-
A simple room with a hos
pital bed. a color television
set, oxygen outlets, glucose
containers, an infant incuba

Overall, the agreement is pop
ular in Japan, the only na
tion ever to experience the
effects of a nuclear bomb
ing The Japanese Commu
nists, who lean toward the
Peking line, went along with
Red China's position on the
test ban.
This stand was stated first
last Friday by Kuo Mo-Jo,
vice chairman of Red China's
Standing Committee of the
National People's Congress.
He told a Peking rally then
that the attempt by "a small
number of countries" to con
trol the worlds destiny by
monopolizing nuclear weap
ons would be smashed in the
near future a reference
would name a Negro to head
the department. The Repub
licans almost unanimously
cried "foul." They were
joined by Democrats from the
South.
This was a political ploy,
these dissenters maintained,
to make it impossible for a
non-Southern member of
Congress to vote against set
ting up the new department
lest he be accused of anti
Negro bias; of voting against
a Negro in the cabinet. How
ever that may have been,
Congress did not authorize the
new department. But Presi
dent Kennedy undoubtedly
took a substantial political
profit among Negro voters.
Now comes a vacancy in the
Kennedy cabinet, a cabinet
job said to have once been of
fered to and rejected by a
Negro.
If the President's anxiety
for a Negro in the cabinet has
been for real all along, here
is a can't miss opportunity.
Or, maybe, the President will
decide to give another refusal
to Chicago's Rep. Dawson.

this was something else. This

It is still far from official,
but French President Charles
de Gaulle's aides privately
are pinpointing next Janu
ary as a likely target data
for him to make a trip to
Washington. He has said it is
his turn to go there, but has
set no date for the trip.
However, the aides expect
a round of lower level talks
to pave the way first. Then,
by January, 1964, they hint,
things should be ripe for Da
Gaulle to call on President
Kennedy.

uet of our society: the suo
ttilulion of the "image"
for the reality, the taking
of the thadow for the sub
stance, the need to impress
rather than the urge to ex
press. The white converti
ble gave them a synthetic
tense of identity that, by
a cruel and familiar para
dox, only served to blot
out their individuality.
If you watch youngsters
playing and enjoying them
selves, you will sea that
they attain their individual
ity only by forgetting it -by
throwing themselves
into the activity, by giving
themselves to it, by loting
themselves. For the scrip
tural truth is a deep psy
chological truth as welli
that only by losing our
selves can wa find our
selves. As we grow older, if our
personalities are not allowed
and encouraged to develop
in creative channels, we give
up our center of gravity in
ourselves and transfer it to
other people. Then, what they
think, how they respond, be
comes the tremulous measure;
of our content.
There can be no permanent
satisfaction in that, however;

white convertible begins to
pall, and the image needs to
be enhanced by new supports
from the outside. It is bad
enough to witness the rat-race
in the so-called adult world;
it is dismaying to see the lit
tle mouse - race of the young
people, who may never learn
that you can't trade yourself
in on a new model every year,
no matter how much you ar
willing to spend.
