dbiiaL (paqsL A Pile What do you tell a young man who is im patient to grasp the future and leave behind a task he heartily dislikes? You can start, of course, by setting down carefully the responsibilities he bears to the job at hand and the consequences of trying to duck out on them. ; But there is a bigger answer to such a lad. ij It is in the nature of life that it is an ever clpnging mixture of excitements and monot onies. Therefore it is to be expected that any one In his lifetime may encounter an unpre dictable blend of challenging, attractive tasks and dull, thankless, disagreeable jobs. Only rarely does a person find a course which frees him almost totally from the mo notonous, unpleasant things that are part of most people's lot. What is required of us is that we have, or develop, a marked capacity for enduring the inescapable monotonies of life, the drudg ery and dreariness of some routines. l What is also required is that we under stand that few lives can be strung together from an endless series of exciting tasks suc cessfully and perhaps dramatically performed. ' The measure of a man is how he works at something he does not really care to do but must do. For such work again and again forms the bridge to other things he does want to do. THE GLOBAL VIEW jJ Alliance For Progress MEXICO CITY NEA) - Can the Alliance for Progress be made In work? The answer to this unresolved question that faces the Kennedy Administration no Inugcr depends on tho United Slates but on the Latin Ameri can nations themselves. Ill Mexico, tltc evidence to dale is that the prospects of the Alli ance arc at best mixed. For three decades Mexico has demonstrated a degree of politi cal stability unique in Latin Amer ica.; Between Uie Ilio Grande and the South American conti nent an area which includes 10 of the 20 Latin American re publics Mexico alone has shown some signs of economic growth. Yet even here there are indica tions of strain inside the ruling Party of Revolutionary Institu tion l PHI I w hich seriously thrcatends to undermine the Alli ance for Progress. Much nf the friction in the ruling Pill is nf course due to President Lope Mateos' amlii vakjnt stand on Fidel Castro s Cuba. He is so hypnotized by his doctrine of non - alignment or neutralism for which. Inci dentally, he hopes to w in the No bel Prtie this year that he has failed tn face squarely the Cuban and Communist problems that plague Mexico. President Kennedy's current eoiilhct with Hie and - Commu nist Cuban exiles is now cited by pro - Castro Mexicans as proof that lxiX't Mnlcog was right alter all. "Even your own President now has a neutral po "But if t Joetn't bat y wt tut fa frr tbtn BERRY'S WORLD Of Small Moments sition on Castro," a gleeful Mex ican olficial told this writer. U.S. diplomats who spent many weary months in an el fori to es tablish a common front of Amer ican nations against the threat nf Moscow's imperialism via Cuba are once again up against a blind political alley. The quarrel between President Kennedy and the anti-Castro ex iles could not have come at a more opportune moment for the Russians. The Soviet Embassy in Mexico has a staff of 130 Rus sian nationals. The great dispari ty between this huge staff and Its actual daily performance of diplo matic duties points up again what has long been known to special ists on Communism Mexico is Moscow's headquarters for the dissemination of propaganda in the Caribbean and Central Amer ica. In addition there ore the nverstalfed legations of Moscow's East European satellites which constantly chapcrone cultural and trade missions composed of lop Rod agents. The entire force of Reds' mas sive propaganda campaign is cur rently directed against the Alli ance for Progress which is de nounced as W aslunglon s conspir acy to enslave Lalm America Mexico is traditionally ami Iniled States. Even to Hie non Communist Mexican who feels lar away from the front lines of the cold war, (lie slogan "Im ucrialismo Yanqin" apieals more than the warnings of the ha rassed American diplomats against (lie threat of fled imperial ism. poUtlctl fUnt, why it Nixon butlont" Not many endeavors are so hopeless as to yield a man or a growing boy no profit in experience or learning for the future. The man bent toward genuine achievement builds on all his endeavors. In a play by Lillian Hellman, a middle aged fellow who kept yearning for great ac complishment finally saw the truth: "There are no great moments unless you have a pile of small moments to build upon." Sir Winston Churchill is hailed now as a giant of a man. Yet on the eve of his ascent to the prime-ministership of Britain in World War n, men could reasonably say his life to that moment was a tapestry heavily threaded with failure, frustration, disappointment. When later he said it seemed to him then that his whole life was but a preparation for that hour, he meant it literally the errors, the defeats, the stretches of oblivion, all of this along with the glowing moments of suc cess. So, say to the young man: "Take it all the valleys with the peaks, the gray and black with the vivid colors, the biting chal lenge with the grooved routine." Aside from the exquisite exception, that is how it is for all of us. We should seek the peaks but not despair when we are in the valleys. Soviet strategy Uius seems to use Mexico in an effort to im pede If not destroy the Al liance. The Russians encourage 3kz Mateos' neutralism. Reds throughout Latin America cheered the Mexican president when, as a neutralist, he de clined to see West Berlin's wall nf shame on his recent "good will" visit to Europe. However, the Russians never put all Uieir propaganda eggs in to one basket. Even while osten sibly supporting Lopez they are secretly organising opposi tion groups against him should he eventually decline to play their sinister game. There is little douht that Uie Soviet Embassy in Mexico was I lie real creator of the new in dependent Peasant's Organiza tion which will oppose the dom inant Pltl in the coming elec tions. The official head of the Peasant's Party is former Pres ident Lazaro Cardenas, long a Red puppet who still enjoys con siderable popularity as the man who took the oil industry away Irom tlie Yankees. But tlie real powers behind Cardenas are Arulor Orano, a top Mexican Red, Ramon Dana ?as Palomino, a fake agrarian leader who joined the Reds alter he amassed a fortune by swin dling the peasants, and Alfonso Garzon who was once a member of tlie band of killers known as "El Gitann." Widespread poverty in Mexico as in Uie rest of Latin America provides the Communists with a ready-made propaganda gambit. On the fust encounter, Mexico Cily impresses the visitor as licing in the midst nf a boom. From the center of the city with its baroque buildings dating from colonial limes, wide boulevards flanked by modern skyscraper and palatial hotels the unwary tourist soon finds his way to the siilnuhs where politicians and financial oligarchs live in a lux urious world of exquisite archi tectural taste and subtropical gardens. Hut reaching Mexico trom La redo, Tex., by way of tin 900 mile stretch of arid land covered with useless scrub, one encount ers miseiy and mass hunger un equaled in the most depressed areas of tlie Middle Easl. Even in Mexico City on the way to the archeological sights the tourist suddenly encounters the vast conturion de la misers, an agglomoralion nf pitiful dwellings made of scraps of rusty sheet metal and rotten boards that can he found in most Latin American cities. Indeed, tlie "new" Mexico that has emerged from the Revolution nt 1910 still has many critkil unsolved social and economic problems. The eliminaton of feud alism which is the proud claim of Mexico current rulers has not created social equality. 1 PACE By SYDNEY J. HARRIS Antics with Semantics: 1 believe in maintaining :ry dignity: you are a trifle pompous; he is a stuflcd shirt. My vice is a "human weak ness," but yours is a "bestial habit." The extroverted man I happen to like is "jolly and open"; tie extroverted man I happen to dis like is "loud and pushy." My witticism was "a wcll luned phrase"; his was "a smart aleck remark." I was promoted to an "advis nry capacity"; you were "kicked upstairs." When my opinion coincides with the many. 1 speak of the "in herent common wisdom of t h e people"; when it disagrees with tlie many. 1 refer to the his torical fact that "the majority Is always wrong." You don't appreciate my irrev erent jest because you are "super-sensitive": hut 1 don't ap preciate yours because "tlie sub ject isn't a proper one for joking about." When you propose an alterna tive policy. 1 call it an "untried innovation": when 1 propose an alternative policy. I call it "some fresh thinking on the subject."

Marilyn Jacquct, 122 Lewis St. Clarified The editorial page of the May 7 issue of the Herald and News car ried a reprint of an editorial by Gladstone Williams nf the Sacra mento Bee. Mr. Williams dis cussed the payment of unemploy ment insurance benefits to work ers on strike. It is possible some misunderstanding exists regarding payment nf such benefits. The laws cnntrnlling the pay ment of unemployment insurance benefits are enacted by the indi vidual states. These laws vary from state to state. The editorial dealt with the State of New York. Oregon law prevents the payment of such benefits to individuals in tolvcd in a labor dispute. UKS fi57.2UO Section 1 1 states: "An in dividual is disqualified for benefits for any week with respect tn which the commissioner finds that his unemployment is due to a la Isor dispute which is in active progress at the factory, establish ment or other premises at which he is or was last employed or at which he claims employment rights by union agreement or oth erwise."

WASHINGTON NEA - The Sl.OOO-a-plate Republican dinner honoring Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater for his past services as GOP Senate Campaign Com mittee Chairman did just that. They gave him a silver coflee urn-but otherwise the affair was a political dud. Nobody's presidential candi dacy balloons rocketed off the launching pads even an inch. There was so much party unity and peaceful coexistence dis played that the proceedings were a bit dull. Nobody could have cared less that the honeymooning Gov. Nel son Rockefeller of New York and his bride weren't there. Gov. George Romney of Michi gan confessed that the "unex pected developments he ran into" after his Chamber of Commerce speech in Washington the week before the launching of a presi dential boom for him, which he repudiated had almost caused him to cancel plans to attend the dinner. Goldwater didn't even mention the 1964 presidential race. So the party was an exclusive social affair, a financial success and that's all. Wit and humor from the big list of speakers who paid their tributes to Goldwater evoked po lite laughter and applause but did not rock the rafters or send the Republicans out into the night looking for Democrats to draw and quarter. -Maybe that's why the GOP doesn't win more elections. Sen. Thruston Morton nf Ken tucky was toastmaster in his role as chairman of the Senate Cam paign Committee. He got off a few good cracks in introducing about half it seemed of the 500 guests present. Like: "Uncle Billy Young (Sen. Mil ton R. Young of North Dakota I hasn't been up this late in years." And "I regret that I have to pre sent a flaming liberal to this audience the ranking Republican of the House Rules Committee Clarence Brown of Ohio." Or "I've been trying to keep these lly FCLTOX LEWIS JR. William Greene is a Negro. He supports the House CnAmcrican Activities Committee. He opposes recognition of Communist China. He believes action must be taken lo oust Fidel Castro frnm power. For those four reasons, Bill Greene lost his bid a fortnight ago for tlie presidency of the Califor nia Federation of Young Demo crats. Elected was Josiah Becman, a paunchy, bespectacled olficial nf the Northern California - Nevada Council of Churches. In a stormy convention, ultra-liberal followers of Bceman triumphed over the more moderate Democrats who backed Greene. A major issue in that campaian: A charge that Negroes were try ing to "take over" the o.mio-mem-her Democratic group. Prior tn the vote Becman followers sent letters to convention delegates de manding to know . "Will you stand hv and allow this takeover by Negroes?" Greene places the reason fur his defeat on a refusal lo support three resolutions lavored by tlie 400 delegates meeting In San Fran cisco. Because he "completely oppns es" recognition of Red China. Greene could not support a resolu tion demanding that American pol icy be altered and relations opened with Peking. Neither could he back resolutions that called for abolition of the House InAmeri can Activities Committee or oppo sition to unilateral action against Castro Cuba. So Bill Greene went down to defeat hv a narrow mar gin. Why there is no furor about left wine cMrcmism is hard to under stand. When dolomites to the Califnr. ma Young Republican convention in I he deer business the commis sion has st.iunih defenders as well as attackers. Trouble is that vi many who hum and lish set themselves up as prime author). tie on lish and game. II the fi.-h don't bile or they don t flush a deer, it's the fault of tlie game commission. One must be a dedicated per son tn scne on the commission and take all this abuse ... or some kind of nut. We re im lined to think you'll lind more of the nutty ones among the commit. si"n s critics. p IF Goldwater Feted At Washington Dinner speeches short, but 1 don't know what we can do to cut down on the next speaker, because he's my leader Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois." Dirksen. related that in August 1952 he was told of an Arizona . businessman who ought to be in politics. He went out to Phoenix, visited the Goldwaters and "that night, under a starry sky, I per suaded Barry Goldwater to run for the Senate. I take some cred it for being the midwife who brought him into political life." Responding later, Goldwater observed, "t guess f didn't real ize what happened on that pent house roof. 1 guess I'd better get a hot line to Margaret Sanger." Expressing regret that Presi dent Eisenhower could not attend the memorable dinner, Goldwa ter confessed, "I rode into of fice on Ike's coattails." The senator also read a tele gram from his daughter Peggy. "Sorry 1 can't be there, but my allowance won't stretch." Goldwater paid tribute to Rom ney as, "a man who felt there was something more important to do for America than just live in it." ' Romney, for his pari, delivered a condensed version of the same speech he had made to tlie cham ber of commerce the week before. With a different audience, it didn't go over so well. His most inspiring line was a quotation from Henry Ford the First who. after listening to three and a half hours of orato at the dedica tion of Willow .tun Airport, hob bled to the mike and said, "I can't talk, but I'll do all 1 can." Rep. Bob Wilson of California, chairman of the House Repubi can Campaign Committee, re lated that, "every so often, Sen ator Goldwater comes over to California and cries about the water we rightfully take from the Colorado River. So I ask all the House members present to rise and toast our guest of honor w ith a glass of water." Responding to that toast later, Goldwater observed that, "Bob Wilson is a living example of what good Arizona water will do for you. I was 21 years old be fore t knew you could put it in whisky." WASHINGTON REPORT . . . Congressman Shows Democratic Council gathered earlier this year they se lected as chairman. Bob Gaston, who calls himscll a Goldwater Re publican. Gaston is not a member of the John Birch Society and was op posed, in fact, by a Birch mem ber early in the convention. Tlie Birch member later supported Gaston against a more libera op ponent. Gaston's election made front page news across the country. Liberal columnists deplored Ihs victory of "right-wing extremists." But there is no reaction, hardly any mention, in fact, of the doings of last week's Young Democratic convention. Nor is there any outcry about a series of resolutions passed by the Calitornia Democratic Council 'CDC', a powcrlul organization of 70.000 party workers, earlier this year. In a Bakcrslield con vention, 2,000 delegates advocated: ' 1- An immediate and perma nent end lo nuclear testing by all nations. 2. Abolition of HL AC. I Granting teachers the right to strike. j- Kqwal of lojalty oaths. V A moratorium on further U.S. fall-out shelters, coupled with an attempt at Soviet agreement not to engage in civil defense compe tition. Governor Pat Brown and Sena lor Clair Engle have both ap. Iieared before CDC meetings. They dcend on CDC workers to ring doorbells. gcl out the vote, and insure their re-election. Neither will criticize the CDC statements. San Diego's Bob Wilson, chair man of the House GOP Campaign Committee, insists that Brown and f-ngle are politically responsible lor the CDC policy positions.
