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

that plague Mexico.

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

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

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

Now we have owned caU lots

never ever seen a cat attack any
onechild or adult, unless they

I have seen children maul Utile

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

any misunderstanding with regard
to the Oregon law.

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

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

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."
