Dialog and Freedom We have, in recent weeks, published Com munications giving socialist, atheist, fundamen talist, John Birch, liberal, conservative, and other widely divergent views on matters of the day. Why do we print such letters when it would be far easier simply to toss them in the waste basket and avoid controversy and the headaches that go with it? At least in part, it is because we happen to believe that any viewpoint held by an American citizen is entitled to expression within the lim its of good taste and libel. (Ev-en these have been stretched just a little, occasionally.) XE ALSO think it is important that citizens " be aware that this is a pluralistic society in which we live, and that there are others just as good Americans as they who hold sharply differing opinions. This is part of the democratic dialog. And it is a far better thing to keep the dialog going than to attempt to snuff it out by censorship, re prisals, threats or intimidation. This is what the First Amendment guarantee of free speech and free press is all about, ou preme Court Justice Hugo Black once said : "Undoubtedly, a governmental policy of unfettered com munication of ideas does entail dangers. To the Founders of this Nation, however, the benefits derived from free ex pression were worth the risk. ... I have always believed that the First Amendment Is the keystone of our Government, that the freedoms it guarantees provide the best insurance against destruction of all freedom."

AND, on another occasion, Supreme C tice William O. Douglas said: "The command that 'Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press' has behind it a long history. It expresses the confidence that the safety of society depends on the tolerance of government for hostile as well as friendly crtiicism, that in a community where men's minds are free, there must be room for the unorthodox as well as the orthodox views." It would be well, perhaps, for all lovers of freedom to refresh their memory from time to time as to what it is that the First Amendment says. Here it is : AMENDMENT I "Freedom of Religion, Speech and Press, Right of Petition. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the govern ment for a redress of grievances."

On occasion, when the woods have been dry during October, hunting season has had to be postponed. Most people recognize the need for such safety measures. Not all, of course, but most who think about it. Professional foresters and lumbermen are in creasingly conscious of public opinion these days, and the closure of forests is one of the items which has caused them concern. In an attempt to sample public opinion, one forester who is a member of the Western Forest Fire Committee has been seeking expressions from the public. LIIS QUESTIONNAIRE asks, if extremely hazardous forest fire conditions prevail in widespread areas of the state, should publicly- owned lorests be closed to entry f nivately owned ones? If the answers are "yes," who should be ex cluded from the closed forests? Recreationists? People who earn their living working in the forests? Forest residents? Guests at resorts? Forest managers? When publicly-owned forests are to be closed, who should issue the order? The political head of a forest agency? The administrative head? Ur lesser administrative authority f finally, he asks, when privately-owned lor ests are closed, who should issue the order? The Governor or his delegate? Lesser state admin istrative authority? Appropriate county authority? IF YOU ARE sufficiently interested in giving your views on these questions, they may directed to Mr. Waller 11. Reed, Collins Pine Company, Chester, Calif. We're sure Mr. Reed would appreciate re ceiving a wide variety of views, and that they wouici he h e 1 p f u 1 to him in reporting public opinion on the matter. Our own view is that all forests should be closed to entry when "extremely hazardous" forest fire situations occur; that exceptions to the closure should be only for forest residents, guests at resorts, and forest managers; that ad ministrative heads of publicly-owned forests should have authority to make closures; and that privately-owned forests should be closed by order of the state forester, or, in certain local emer gency situations, the local district warden. E. A. If a man doesn't discard his enthusiasm at the same rate he loses his hair, he'd ought to. Sherman County Journal Dear Miss Willeke: "Suc cess, said John Masefield, is the brand on the brow of the man who has aimed too low." This remark epitomizes the at titude of most conscientious and thoughtful people toward the pursuit of success. Many commentators like to point out the consistent failures of the great sages, prophets, and saints in their attempts to es tablish the good life among men. The implication is some times drawn that failure is the mark of holiness or wisdom, an inference which is the exact converse of the classic immoral ist remark, "Nice guys finish last." However, if we follow this trend of thought uncritically, we may wind up in the absurd romantic position that failure is a virtue, which we should strive to achieve. A famous historian of philoso phy, Eduard Zcller, said of the death of Socrates at the hands of the community which he had tried to reform, that it "was the greatest triumph of his cause the crowning success of his life the apotheosis of philosophy and the philosopher." irci r-iaio, Socrates' greatest pupil and the man whose writings about Soc rates' trial and death inspired pller's remark, seems to have had a different notion of what the success of a philosopher consists in. Plato believed that It was the highest task of the philosopher to reform the com munity, and that anything else was a reluctant second best, necessitated by conditions be yond the philosopher s control. In a ooianant and unforgetta ble passage in Plato's "Repub lic," Socrates dwells on the grim situation of the philoso pher. In order to stay alive and to keep himself free from iniqui ty, he Is compelled to keep nuict and to go his own way, removed from the fircce strug gle for power and profit, liv ini! a nuod life, and finally dc- nartine nearcfully from this world. This in itself would be a considerable achievement, re marks another character in the dialogue. To this Socrates re plies sadly, "A great work yes; hut not the greatest, un less he find a stnte suitable to him; for in a state which is suitable to him, he will have a larger growth and be the savior of his country. ' well as of himself." Plato believed that the phi losopher's highest task was to bring his vision to bear on the reconstruction of society. He himself tried to establish the good community in Syracuse, one of the city-states of his time. Commenting on mis at Syracuse. He was forced in his old age to admit his defeat, and to withdraw to the position of a detached spectator. The mark of this tragic failure is to be found in his writings. But so also is the vision of what it would mean for man if the phi losopher were ever to succeed in his highest task. The defeated philosopher still called for the embodiment of the ideal in hu man life. Martin Buber, a venerable sage of our own time, has con trasted Plato's attitude toward failure with Isaiah's and there by revealed yet another aspect of man's attitude toward 'suc cess and failure. The prophet too is obliged to call on men to establish justice in their life together. He pronounces the message again and again, no matter now crushing his failure. a failure which has been re vealed to him before he sets out on his mission. Unlike Plato's philosopher, nowever, tne propnet is not per mitted to withdraw to his own meditations, far from the mad ding crowd. Nor may he seek a more suitable place and peo ple. He is bound to keep prophe sying to his own people, in the faith that his failures and the failures of men like him are but steps on the road to the great fulfillment, which will come ultimately through the divine power which has sent him on his way.

Rockefeller's announcement of his Presidential candidacy is comically unsurprising, in the usual manner of formal political unveilings. But some very real surprises are likely to follow this announcement later on, To begin with, there is at least a possibility that the New York Governor will surprise the wiseacres, who are now so con fidently predicting that he will take a bad beating from Sen Barry Goldwater in both the crucial primaries in New Hamp shire and California. Gov. Rockefeller has a heavy, admitted handicap in his remar riage. Even so, the elaborate advance polls of the Rockefeller organization show that the pres ent Goldwater lead in the two key primary states is no greater than the initial lead of Gov. Averell Harriman in New York in 1958, which Rockefeller then overcame. In addition, Sen. Goldwater also has a heavy handicap, as yet unadmitted. IN BRIEF, the Senator has until recently been taken quite literally at face value, as a handsome, vital fellow around whom Republican right-wingers could rally with ease, only m the last month or so has atten tion begun to turn from the Goldwater package to the ac tual contents of that package. Two successive major stirs have thus been caused, first be cause the Senator genially an nounced that he would like to sell the Tennessee Valley Authority to private enterprise, and then because the senator blithely remarked that if he had his way, U. S. field command ers overseas would be author ized to use nuclear warheads whenever they saw fit. This is, in fact, the sort ot thing Sen. Goldwater has been saying for years. But it sounds different, somehow, and it has a lot more impact now that the Senator has come to be regard ed as a serious Presidential contender. IT remains to be seen what the full effect will be, but it will hardly be helpful when the Goldwater program gets equal billing with the Goldwater per sonalityas is sure to happen in the end. Meanwhile, Gov. Rockefeller also seems likely to nave more on-tne-spot help in the key primaries than most people now suppose. In California, in particular, the fact that former Sen. Wil liam Knowland is planning to lead a pro-Goldwater slate of convention delegates is already widely advertised. But it is probably more significant that California's greatest Republican vote-getter of recent years, Sen. Thomas Kuchel, will almost cer tainly head the pro-Rockefeller slate. Sen. Kuchcl's motive for plunging into the contest if he does so will not be a pas sionate attachment to the Rock efeller cause. It will instead be a feeling that there will be very little room for men like him self in a Republican party that chooses Sen. Goldwater for its standard-bearer. 'PHIS feeling of Sen. Kuchel's, A in turn, points to the other surprise which the Rockefeller candidacy is quite certain to produce, whether or not the Governor's showing in the pri mary fights exceeds present expectations. The plain truth Is that Gov. Rockefeller is grimly determ ined to go on to the convention, even if he loses in both New Hampshire and California, and to challenge his fellow Repub licans to say, in plain terms, what kind of party they want. The main vehicle of his chal lenge will be a very strong civil rights amendment. Even if Rockefeller by then has only a scattering of dele gates outside New York, he will still be able to count on wide support in the big states for a strong Republican stand on civil rights. In Pennsylvania, for in stance. Gov. William Scranton is already planning to name Sen. Hugh Scott to tne Plat form Committee. And Scott will surely stand four-square with Rockefeller. Sen. Goldwater's very different notion of a suit able civil rights plank in the Republican platform was set forth in an interview in u. a. News and World Report, in which he advocated "a simple statement like 'we believe in the freedom of the individual'." " A LL right," the Senator "I suppose, If I were a Negro, the-words 'with liberty and justice for all' would stick 1 my throat once in a while, too: In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS continued somewhat tonishingly. Sen. Javits can take that in New York and apply it to civil rights, the Negro question, and everything else. I can take it and apply it to the 'Right to Work.' I can apply It to state s rights." What Sen. Goldwater cannot take, however, is the kind of strong, specific civil rights plank Gov. Rockefeller is de termined to fight for to the bit' ten end. The whole Goldwater electoral strategy is based on carrying the- Southern states and ignoring the Northern Negro voters "because we can't get their votes anyway." Hence, giving way to Rockefeller will knock the Goldwater strategy into a cocked hat. In other .words, Rockefeller means to corner Coldwater on the issues, and U make him stand up and be counted with out benefit of charm or vital ity. This approach may not nominate Rockefeller, but the possibility that it may stop Goldwater should not be overlooked. The U.S. Army sends another convoy through the Soviet checkpoint at Marienborn in the Western edge of. Berlin and the Russians clear the 22 men in the convoy's ten trucks in only 20 minutes. Informed Western sources say that LARGER convoys will be sent out in the next few days to lest the Russians. The point seems to be how many men in how many trucks will the Russkies let pass without kicking up a ruckus? IN THESE days, we can't help thinking sadly how wonderful it would have been if, back in 1945, we had gone ahead and TAKEN BERLIN FIRST, in stead of holding back and letting the Russians take it first. WHAT to say about it all? Let's leave it to John Greenleaf Whittier who a cen tury ago told about a chance meeting between the Judge and Maud Muller. Maud, you will remember, was raking the meadows sweet with hay when the Judge came along. The Judge was thirsty, so Maud dropped her rake and brought him a drink of water from the spring. Long afterward the Judge, meditating nostalgically on how wonderful it would have been if he and Maud had married and lived happily ever after ward, uttered these mourntui words: "Of all sad words "Of tongue or pen, ' "The saddest are these: "It MIGHT have been." Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- "A fY, MY," reminisced a bogus old party at a sportsmen's J-'J- dinner. "The tigers I shot in my day in the wilds of Africa!" "Very interesting," interrupted a disgusted listen er, "but there don t hap pen to be any tigers in Africa." "Of course not," agreed the old party without batting an eye lash. "I shot them all." A retired old banker sauntered down the main street of a Southern town on a cloudless Spring; day (porting a big umbrella. "I'm not the eccentric you take me for," he explained to a young friend who had been eyeing him suspicious ly. "Fact is, with my arth ritis, I need a stick to help me walk. If I carried one, people woud pity me for becoming a helpless old man. I prefer having them say, 'Look at that fool with the umbrella!' " Dr. Pullman, the society dentist, extracted a rich paUent's In fected tooth, and sent her a bill for $25. "That's too much money," she protested, "for a job that took you exacUy seven minutes."

O 1863, by Bennett Carl Distributed by King Features Syndicate QUESTION: Just how ticklish Is this present Berlin situation? WELL, dispatches from Washington assure us that as yet the HOT LINE between Washington and Moscow has not been used. The dispatches add that under a policy of not talking about the "hot line" neither the White House nor the Pentagon will say whether the emergency communication chan nel has so far been called into service, but it has been learned authoritatively that it has not been used in connection with the blockade by Soviet troops of a U.S. Army convoy en route to Berlin.

Or would he HIT FIRST and TALK AFTERWARD? INTERESTING little tale in the news: At Tuesday's election, New Jersey voters gave Democratic Governor Hughes a sharp set back, defeating decisively his proposal for a $750 million bond issue to finance highway con struction and school aid and PUT IT ON THE CUFF. He had told the voters that if they de feated his bond issue he'd go to the legislature for a TAX with which to do the job. The voters called his bluff and told him to bring nn his bears. INTERESTING question: Do you reckon the New Jersey voters have been looking at the fabulous sum that Uncle has put on the cuff and came to the conclusion that it might be just as well for New Jersey to pay as it goes and STAY OUT OF DEBT? 'Rage To Live' Creating a New Italy By ERIC SEVAREID (Olstrlhllted 1 56 J, By The Hall Syndicate, llir.) (All nlt.hU Reserved) ROME This anclenl and love ly land, like all the modernized nations of this bewildering era, is frenzicdly on the move but doesn't know where it's going. Like the unbelievable Roman traffic, which produces the im pression of much vitaless dolce, Italy seems to be going in circles.

It is the product ot human nature in the presence of money; but Freud, alas for the ideologues, came along alter Marx. As this is written, Italian troop formations gather on the outskirts of Rome for the Arm istice Day parade. If war came they presume they would march though even that is uncertain but in what direction and ex actly why, they have no idea They can't be expected to know that they are in the grand at liance, at American insistence, for political reasons, or that for geographical reasons their coun try would be a military liabil ity in war, which is why the British didn t want them in. to manifest what he Is In con crete reality, in the communal life of mrn. Plato failed in his attempt to establish the good society In j 1pm and gave up. what's to be done, nobody has the faintest idea. New York's dashing traffic commissioner, Mr. Barnes, looked at the prob- states in his famous encyclical thousands of Italian men imme diately told their devout wives that they could now vote Com munist and remain faithful to the Church; and the Communist vote increased, thoroughly con fusing everyone and scaring more than a few. Traditions are crashing, right and left. Under 'he gn.at dome of St. Peter's, the rank and file if that's the expression in the Ecumenical Council have the bit in their teeth, and the bureaucracy of the Curia really is fighting a losing battle against the renovation of the oldest con tinuing human Institution on earth. And Italian politics are being renovated, at this moment. Old Pietro Nenni, who couldn't say no to Toaliatti's Communists all these post-war years, has now decided to say yes to the bour- The greatest industrial bcm gooisie. He wants to take his in the north Is in its u. year, but somehow the general prosperity doesn't seep down to the farms and villages in the south, and tens of thousands of southerners drift into Milan every year, adding to the con gestion, the relief problem and the prospects for Communist agitators precisely the story all around Africa and Latin America. The late Pope John spoke ac comodatingly of the Communist ulking Socialist party into a coalition government with the Christian Democrats. At the risk of a party split he may be able to do it, and this just may end up in the isolation of the Communists, when their hopes and strength were rising To this reporter, who first went to see Nenni after the Ger mans surrendered Rome when he huddled in an overcoat In an unhealed room "on the Via Sis tina, the current Nenni seems unrecognizable in his new role. But history has distorted his theories of those days, Italy has grown generally prosperous by a different method than his, and, after all, a politician in his twi light years would like a taste of office and power. Nenni's decision to try to work with the capitalists is the most important development in Ital ian politics since the narrow- squeak defeat of the Reds in the 1948 election, an event that helped determine the whole course of continental West Eu rope, then so exhausted and em bittered. A s everywhere, television, movies and the glossy maga zines are tearing up the old roots of life, especially in the countryside. "Live!" say the magazines and the screen to the bored and the hitherto hum ble. "Live richly, glamorously famously" in never-never land somewhere, but not where you are now. The screens and the colored pages say very little of humility, hard work, patience and contentment. So the rage to live is convuls- ne this convulses the rest of old Eu rope. Few prophets will dare to say all this is bad, hut there remains the chance that it will all end up in race, period.

Fight Fan To the Editor: Beine an avid fight fan myself, I can certainly appreciate the feelings ex pressed by Pat Redmond in his letter to the Editor on Nov. 7. Boxing news has always been mc-e or less scarce, either over" radio or television, especially in this area. Now, one station has the unmitigated gall to an nounce the outcome of a fight that is to be shown on a com petitive channel at a later hour. Usually, this Same station sel dom bothers with non-title fights, and gives very poor news coverage of truly important ones. Now suddenly, they feel that they can attract viewers by ruining a program on an oppos ing station.
