EDSON IN WASHINGTON ' Another Job Battle Looms God Is Good, Into a preschool nursery in the county school system out Los Angeles way, little kids trooped daily and happily, unworried by the events of the world. These little tots worked mornings with their crayons, making draw ings and coloring designs in the coloring books, cutitng out paper dolls and the little things kids do at these places. ' And each day in the middle of the activi ties, there came a time when cookies and milk was brought out and it was the custom each day to say a little prayer, just a simple little one. It consisted of: - "God is good. God is great. We thank you for the food on our plate." Nothing more was said; nothing less. But someone who had nothing more to do called the little message of thanks to the attention of the county's top legal officer, Harold W. Kennedy. He said it could no longer be said WILLIAM GOPCI eavage Shaping Up By WILLIAM S. WHITE WASHINGTON Within the GOP the party is getting rough. It now looks as if the contest . (or the Republican Presidential nomination next year may be as bitter as the historic strug gle in 1052 between Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Robert A. Taft and a good deal sharp er, for that matter, than the Democratic fight of 1900 between John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Tills outlook will not be pleas ing to the pro-harmony Eastern factions who usually want t h e i GOP to choose its nominee in the utmost outer decorum, while uttering soothing, and well-bred tut-tuts to all manner of ardent heartbreak deep inside the lodge. It will, however, greatly satisfy those more rambunctious Republicans who have always believed and rightly that the Democrats usually grab the big. , er share of attention by their ' glad, howling zeal for internal combat and thus tend to start ahead in the headlines. At all events, it is a perfectly - plain outlook, and K arises from several factors. Sen. Barry Goldwater, though at this point far out ahead, nev ertheless has a way yet to go. The statements of such backers as former Sen. William F. Knowland of California that Goldwater already has in the neighborhood of 500 convention votes pretty well in hand are entitled to respect. The Know land sort of Republican does not make irresponsible claims, as all who knew him in his Senate days will testify. Even so, Gold water yet has 155 votes to mar shal in order to reach the magic 655 and that last 100 or 151 are often very hard to come by, as Senator Taft discovered when nearly 12 years ago, he lost (ho nomination to General Eisen hower. The seeming incapacity of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to set the country alire and notably the Midwest and West may turn out to be fatal to h i s hopes. Even if Rockefeller's candidacy is eventually lost, however, there is an alternative in former Vice President Rich ard Nixon, Nixon's repented disclaimers of any second Presidential can didacy are undoubtedly "sin cere," in the sense Unit he has no intention to enler active con tention. But the fact remains that he ran a tremendous race : against Mr. Kennedy in 1900 and is still the titular head of tlio :GOP. If titular liead there be. Ami the fact also remains ;that If the Eastern parly forces do finally rally to "stop Goldwa. 'ter" -as assuredly they would 'like to do tiioy may find Nixon to be an absolute necessity to their cause. He Is that very. - hard-to-define personal article, ' a moderate standing in the mid : die between Goldwater on Uie right and Rockefeller on t h e left. Few Republican politicians of national experience now believe that either Gov. William Scran ton of Pennsylvania or Gov. George Komney of Michigan could be built up sufficiently, in ' the time remaining before the GOP convention, to be nomin ated for the big prize. There is also the circumstance that no I. ther is showing much Interest. ,- Thus, tlie position of the mo ment is that there are three .reasonable "possibilities:" Gold water, Rockefeller and in spile of hit protestationsNixon. The main problem of those who would hkj to bead off Goldwa . . . GodlsGreat(Censored) in a nursery school supported by public funds. His ruling, he said, was based on the Supreme Court decisions barring prayers in public schools. When a small group of tiny little tots in a kindergarten cannot say a simple little prayer of thanks for cookies and milk, we're stretch ing the Supreme Court decision pretty far down the line to some place or another. The monument at Plymouth Rock, erect ed in honor of our pilgrim fathers, who came to this country because of religious persecu tion, must have trembled a bit when the Cali fornia stickler for court decisions ruled, 3000 miles away, that this was a violation of the ruling. Fortunately a number of states are ig noring the Supreme Court's decision. These states are realizing that a country's moral fiber is based largely upon some concept of religion. It's as essential as gasoline for the family motor car, court decisions or not. S. WHITE ter, beginning of course with Rockefeller, is simply that big early lead he holds among rank-and-file Republicans. And their big hope is to cultivate the im pressionas it was cultivated against Taft in 1952 that he "couldn't win" because of at titudes "too conservative" for national acceptance. This Is why Rockefeller is try ing to force Goldwater Into pub lic debate. The suggestion and it has been made by General Eisenhower, too is that the Senator's views on the issues are not wholly "clear." But the truo point is not that Goldwa- Letters To The Editor From Within Can I share a thought or two, with you about your Sept. 10 "Mankind's Master Mind" edi torial? Without being too blunt can you believe that the Creator put man on earth without a means of communication or source of information? Man has always had a "built in natural connection between people" and a world "brain bank." Of course you are aware that man must use his muscles or his muscles become flabby, soft and sometimes even useless. This is true of any other faculty man is endowed, even such as his "built-in natural connection between people." Two great universities, one (or over 40 years, lave been study ing this "built-in natural connec tion between people" with sur prising results. The Zenith Radio Corp, study ing this built-in natural connec tion between people came to the conclusion that there nre certain inherent faculties man bus lost. They also came to the conclu sion that man was now ready to accept the idea of recovering the use of his built-in natural connection between people. With this idea in mind the company prepared an authenti cated program called Delayed Progress to be broadcast once a week over a national hookup. Included in these programs was a one minute experiment exercise for those who would care to participate, could do so by sending In an unsigned post card of their findings to the Chi cago headquarters. Results were very pleasing. But, sir, after five or six broadcasts, for some reason or other these pro grams were regulated to small local stations, finally being dis continued altogether. This was about 25 years ago. They were very fine programs. Six or seven years ago West ingliouso began to experiment between certain offices this built-in natural connection be tween people with the idea in mind to hasten communications, and to reduce expenses by eventually eliminating letter writing, telephoning and teleg raphy. Hut.'ia Is now experimenting with (lie same idea. This built-in natural connec tion between people could tie termed intuition by some, it really is mental telepathy. Then there are the great phe nomena known in the radio and television families. It is now generally accepted (hat one can get a radio or television program by tuning into the broadcasting or sending aUtioo. Also, ao unknown num ter's opinions need special clar ification. The real point is that the anti Goldwateritcs would like to spotlight those views in public forums, from such a per spective as to say of them: "Now look how very far to the right this fellow really is." General Eisenhower has de nied any partiality in the race for the nomination. It is an ironic note, however, that the views of the men who now say Goldwater isn't too clear were themselves so little known in 1952 as to cause pain and an guish to his then Democratic op ponent for the Presidency, Ad lai Stevenson. ber of receiving sets can tune into the one sending station without distracting from any other receiving set. These programs come over what is known as wave lengths, which are vibrating. The tun-ing-in must be on the same vi bration rate or in harmony with the sender or no program. If one cannot get a program, he checks his receiving set, not the sender. But in his personal life, if man is not doing too well he rarely checks himself, but blames circumstances. No doubt you think "I know all this." But do you? It is writ ten "Let him who havo eyes, sec, and him that have cars, hear." And do you see in the principle of the broadcasting set and receiving set, that they become one. just as Jesus said, "I and the Father are one." Or in man everything exists. Man does not retain know ledge in his brain, but impulses or vi brations. Witness the atom. "Never cells or neurons" as you w r o t e. To what man gives thought to, his brain impulses sets something in motion and he attracts from some source or place anything germane to his thinking. (As a man thinkcth so is he.) B c c a u s e of the character of the radio and television wave lengths, their sending and re cept ion, and because of th e i r similarity to the speech and hearing waves of man, a few years ago. two great electrical wizards, Edison and Stcinmctz. came to the conclusion there must be a world brain bank where every utterance and ac tion of man is recorded in vibra tions which are never lost. Tliey also believed that a ma chine made with or in tlie prop er vibratory rate could repro duce from tlie past. While tliey did not live to see their machine perfected, their associates did complete such a machine. This machine, in last ac counts, was able to reproduce beyond 1900 years from the past. Hut unlike tlie Zenith Radio Corporation reception, when tliey reproduced two programs licioro a selected audience, the audience scoffed and pooh poohed them for rigging a tele vision show upon them and no one would believe what they saw came from the past, as is. But man docs not need a ma chine to reproduce or bring back the past or to see beyond his eye vision. This is his natural heritage or endowment. Someone has said "Man pro poses, but God disposes." But I am sure you will find God pro poses, because God says "All I have is freely given to you. but Man disposes by not believ ing." What about the Biblical WASHINGTON REPORT By FULTON LEWIS JR. WASHINGTON One year ago President John Kennedy stood eyeball to eyeball with Nikita Khrushchev. Then, goes the White House version, Nikita blinked. One year later, Soviet missiles remain in Cuba, according to one of the United States' top ex perts. He is Daniel James, who heads up the Citizens Commit tee for a Free Cuba, and whose pipelines into Cuba are the envy of government "spooks." His account is backed up by other knowledgeable ex perts, including the New York Times' Ruby Hart Phillips. Ac cording to James: Russian guided missiles are secreted throughout Cuba, some of them in Pinar del Rio Prov ince, nearest the United States. The Soviets are said to have dug five huge tunnels at La Go bcrnadora hills, near the main Soviet base at Mariel, in Pinar del Rio Province. It was near here, just down the coast from Havana, that Khrushchev land ed most of the missiles which precipitated last October's cri sis. The tunnels arc 105 feet wide and have reinforced ceilings of 30 feet. A Castro army lieuten ant who recently defected re ports the tunnels are as long as six miles. One has been air-conditioned for tlie storage of nu clear weapons. Another has been equipped with refrigerating equipment for storing liquid ox ygen used for ballistic missiles, according to sources inside Cuba. Furthermore, add these sourc es, electrical systems have been installed at the nearby base of Mcsta de Anafc, and those sys tems are in turn connected with the guided-missile centers at La Gobcrnadora as well as the big horseshoe-shaped military com plex that surrounds Havana on three sides. Pinar del Rio Province com mands tlie Florida Straits. It has become tlie site of a great new Soviet military build-up, say in formants who recently left Cuba. Another part of western Cuba where missiles are reportedly stored is the Isle of Pines, site of Fidel Castro's most infamous prison. Fresh information has been received to the effect that an estimated 2,000 Soviet sol diers and technicians arc based there. They guard SAM air-to-ground missiles; land-to-sea mis siles; underground strategic experiences of those, who could see and tell of lost asses, etc? Tliere are natives in eastern Alrica, that from the moment, say if you, Mr. Editor, could bo gin to make preparations for a safari into their country they will instantly know about it. But they can give and describe the number in tlie parly, even to your mannerisms and when you will arrive. Yet these peo ple are called uncivilized sav ages. During the war Hitler used this method to nearly scare the wits out of Clemenceau. He would telephone to Clemenceau at meal lime. Tell Clemenceau w hat he (Clemenceau) was eat ing, who was in tlie room or coming in or going out of the room. This could be called psychic or clairvoyance abilities. But like all God given laws, these laws must be used for good. They have a builtin self destructive buffer If one tries to use them adversely.

Russians Keep Cuba Arms At Full Strength missiles; Komas rocket-launching vessels; and conventional arms. Soviet technicians are said to be hard at work building anoth er submarine base on the isle. It is said to consist of pens, still in construction, similar to those built by the Germans at their famous Kici naval base during World War II. Sen. Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Republican, recently warned of the danger posed by Soviet "fishing trawlers" operating out of Cuba. He referred to the find ings of the Special Investigations Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee: "More than a dozen seagoing trawlers of the Okcan class make regular round trips be tween North Atlantic fishing banks and Cuba." Naval and Coast Guard wit nesses agreed that these ships "could be landing or picking up spies or saboteurs or smuggling military items and this could be done with little chance of de ' tection in the landing or pick ing - up operations." Scott revealed that Premier Castro is building a fleet of "fishing boats" ideally suited for subversive purposes. Eighty eight ships, 70 of them so-called Lamba 75s, have been author ized. The Lamba 75, with a 29.5 ton cargo capacity and a 250 horscpower engine, is an ideal vehicle for subversive opera tions, according to the Senator. Scott points to a little noticed speech made by Fidel Castro on July 2(i: "The duty of the revolutionaries, of the Latin American revolutionaries, is not to wait for the change in the balance of power to produce the miracle of social revolution in Latin America, but to take the fullest advantage of every thing favoring revolutionary movement and make revolu tion." He then vowed Communist backed revolution for a slew of Latin American countries: Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, a n d El Salvador.

In 1938, the Germans accepted President Wilson's terms to end World War I and issued orders recalling all submarines to their home bases. In 194, American troops land ed on the eastern coast of Leyto . Island in the Philippines. Gen.

By PETER EDSON Washington Correspondent Newspaper Enterprise Assn. , WASHINGTON (NEA) Saucy reporter May Craig asked Pres ident Kennedy early in his ad ministration, "sir, what are you doing for women?" "Whatever we have done, Mrs. Craig," replied the Presi dent, "I'm sure it hasn't been enough." So in December 1961 the Pres ident created a 26-mcmber Com. mission on the Status of Women with the late Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt at its head to study the situation. Twenty two months later on the anniversary of that great lady's birth, the commission filed its report and went out of business. From here on, any thing done to improve the status of women is put up to t h e President, the courts, Con gress, the state legislatures and city councils, education, busi ness and labor leaders and tlie 50 million members of wom en's clubs that concern them selves about it. The first natural reaction of any mere male to all this is to don misogynist robes and imi tate Schopenhauer. What do women want with any more status than they now have? Why don't the dears hang onto what they already have and let it go at that, as the most fa vored of the sexes? But women are never satisfied and never will be, which is one of the things that makes them so so womanly.

WASHINGTON (NEA) Demo cratic National Committee Chairman John Bailey told Penn sylvania Democrats he didn't care whether the 1964 Republi can slogan would be "Back up with Barry, Rotate with Rocky, Retool with Romncy or Scram ble with Scranton." Someone asked him, "Why not include 'Drop out with Dick?' " Answered Bailey innocently, "Dick who?" It didn't take critics long to latch on to First Lady Jacque line Kennedy's new downswept hairdo. This one is her own hair not a wig so it's not "man aged news." But the new style is given political significance.

Details of the commission's findings and all 24 of its major recommendations will be re ported in the news columns or on the women's pages. But a couple of highlights are worth emphasizing in this space be cause they show how 'much the status of American women has changed in this century. In 1900 the average life ex pectancy for women was 48 years. Today it is 73 years. American girls are marrying younger than their mothers and i grandmothers did. The young wives are having more children at lower infant mortality rates. What this means for tlie fu ture is that more women will find that they have a second life to live after their children are grown. The choice will no longer be family or career. They can have both. It is happening already. One third of the labor force "How many times Jo we have to tell you, George , .

When asked, "What do you think of third class mail?" the deadpanned Gronouski an swered: "It doesn't send me most of the time." When Univac I, the world's first data processing computer, was retired by the Commerce Department the other day after clicking away in the Bureau of Census since 1951, Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges promptly turned it over to the Smithsonian Institution for en shrinement in the new Museum of History and Technology.

Half of the 24 mil lion employed women are in the 45 or older age bracket and 55 per cent of them are married women. These are women who for fi nancial reasons can't or for per sonal reasons dont want to sit out the second half of their lives. They want to resume old careers or find new ones. They want to live long and useful lives not only for tlie happiness of their own sweet selves, but also to be of more service to their families, communities and country. There is another aspect of it which the commission report doesn't go into, but which is worth a close look. This is tlie effect which the employment of more and more women has on the total unemployment picture. To provide jobs for all these p women means that the growth rate of the economy must be accelerated more than if only an expanding male labor force has to be kept at full employ ment levels.

Washington has a number of booksellers who deal heavily in works on politics, government, history and foreign affairs which the bureaucrats and politicians seem to favor. One store near the Justice Department is called the Benjamin Franklin book shop. The proprietor, straight-faced, said the other day that he gets quite a few telephone calls from people who sound deadly serious when they ask: "May I please speak to Mr. Benjamin Franklin?"
