'Small World, Isn't It?'
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

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.

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

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

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. As a small
example, who gets hurt the
worst, the one gets very angry
or the orjeet?

erything good for man is within.

missiles; Komas rocket-launching
vessels; and conventional

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

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

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

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.

In 1900 the average life ex

wives are having more children
at lower infant mortality rates.
What this means for tlie fu

find that they have a second
life to live after their children
are grown. The choice will no
longer be family or career. They
