“Mind If I Look Over Your Shoulder'(,’V
(l a?ed iuojj patmano/i)
our national policy. are NOT Ute ones
who determine who will lead us!
fy> YOU KNOW WHO elected a President of the
lr United Slates last November?
It was not the group mentioned above.
Our incoming President was elected by tbe Rap
Browns, the Stokely Carmichaels, those who march-
ed on Washington last spring, the demonstrators at
Chicago last August, those who raised the devil
at Columbia University and at Berkeley, those who
rioted in Detroit, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and all the
tiller riff raff of our time.
They arc the ones who caused millions of peo-
ple to vote as they did, to kick out the ‘ ins."
|T TAKES ONLY one rotten apple to ruin the bu-
I shel. It takes only one gangster to discredit
a sheriff. It takes only one Hap Brown or Stokely
Carmichael to rum the image of 20 million Ameri-
cans and persuade a nation to vote a certain way.
It takes only a handful of slinking, bearded, vul-
gar hippies demonstrating at Chicago to cause a
large segment of a nation to turn thumbs down on
a major political party.
And the irony was that the hippies in Chicago
were aligned with the Republicans in seeking the
defeat of the Humphrey-Muskie ticket!
W»W DESTINY OF THE greatest nation on earth
I was changed Nov. 22, 196.'!, by a Lee Harvey
Oswald! Imagine it! Again it was change last
summer by a Sirhan Sirban!
So it is that our national destiny is determined
aot by those who have made America great but by
the nobody«, the Oswalds, the Sirhans, the Browns,
the Carmichaels, the hippies, the Asian Communists,
the nobodys.
Does it have to be that way?
Certainly not!
If we were sufficiently intelligent, if we were
Intellectually and spiritually mature, we would in-
sist that our destiny be determined by those who
have proved themselves capable of making Ameri-
ca great!
We would refuse to be ruled by Rap Brown,
Stokely Carmichael, the hippies and the rioters,
Mao and ilo Chi Minh.
MUT APPARENTLY THAT IS too much to ex-
D pect of the American people. Rather than vot-
ing for those best qualified, those most capable of
making America great, we insist on using our prec-
ious elections to vent our spleens, to spite those we
don’t like, to play into the hands of the nobodys,
to give expression to our tempers, to cover up our
own failure^ by blaming someone else, to vote out
the President because we can't control our own
children, because we an* parental failures, to vote
against the I “resident (when he isn't even running)
because we aren't allowed to demonstrate our hatred
and prejudiee for other races.
CONSIDER THE STABILITY of a Congressional
district that would trad*1 a Walter Rogers for
a Bob Price!
The Price supporters weren't against Rogers
. . .they were against the administration, the
Democrats, and they tried to slap the Democrats
by slapping Rogers — like tutting off one’s nose
to spite one's fate.
£PCAKING OF THE astronauts who travelled to
V the mnon. wr are one tif their greatest ad-
mirers. Vte wouldn't do one thing to deprive them
of even a slight amount of their glory.
However, we must keep things in perspective.
As the astronauts themselves admitted, mueh
of the credit must go to every competent scient-
ist who has lived since the beginning of man
VHOSE MOST RESPONSIBLE for the successful
I flight were not the astronauts but all those
before them who developed the scientific know-
ledge which made- tlw trip possible.
only function of the astronauts was to carry
out instruction They had to exercise little judg-
ment A robot could have • manned" the1 space
craft almost as well.
By contrast, other pioneers have had to dare,
have had to venture into the unknown, have had to
take chances where the outcome was a gamble.
Columbus took a terrific chance when he ventured
into the unknown lie was much more daring than
the astronauts
He gambled his life on nothing more than a
dream and a ho|*\
WARE DOUBT IF THERE IS such a thing as a
W "self made man.” Whatever a man achieves,
he necessarily has utilized the knowledge and ex-
perience of the past. He may have added a bit to
what other* had already achieved, but that is all
That’s why we are unmoved when someone
weeps bitter tears about the ll.MX) national debt
with which we have middled our children and
grandchildren
When we think of the reservoir of knowledge we
are also leaving our children and grandchildren,
making it pi' able for them to enjoy a standard of
living and convenience never before known to man,
we say our children and grandchildren are getting
quite a bargain for th* $l,s(H) debt we are leaving
each.
Consider the medical advances, radio, televis-
ion, transportation and communication facilities,
and the drudgery - saving devices we are handing
them on a silver platter' We are leaving them a
much greater heritage than the paltry national
debt they'll probably pass on to their children and
grandchildren
IN A FEW DAYS WE WILL have a new President
I and a new governor It's interesting to note
what is liemg written about these men Had our
new leaders been Huliert Humphrey and Don Y ar-
borough. we e.m imagine the barbs that would be
hurled in their direction
Writers are barking off mm the campaign
promi'es made by the I “resident and governor.
They are admitting indirectly, that the campaign
promises can't Is- earned out, that there isn't going
to be a great change on the national scene, but
they are so charitable toward the new men who got
elected partly <>n the ba ts of impossible promises
and false pretenses
These writers are like the parent who sees his
own brat as a lively youngster" and the neigh -
bur's br.d as "an undtM iplined little he lium", even
though there isn't t>vo cents difference in the child-
ren.
READ LAST WEEK that the Nixon admin-
WW istration will do all it can to eliminate the
10 p*r cent surtax, "but this won't be possible due
to a broadened nu de are program, higher interest
on (kids, incrc.i'cd veterans’ tare, and no smaller
military expenditures."
That is exactly what Hubert Htim|iirey *aid
while Nixon was promising to eliminate the tax. re-
duce federal .-.pending, etc , etc But when Humphrey
'aid it, it was fiscally irresponsible.” When Nixon
says it, after the electon, it is "a simple fact of
life.” It is being realistic."
CONCERNING PRESTON SMITH who campaign-
V# ed on a pionu e of austerity, less spending,
lower taxes, etc etc . it i* now appearing in pro-
Smiih p.qx-rs that i.overnor - elect Smith is no
spendthrift, BI T (capitalization i* ours) the teach-
ers' pay raise is a must the stale i> going to be
forced to come un with more than $100 million a
year in new revenue ”
New taxes, had they been advocated by Don
Yarborough, would have tieen another good reason
to scratch hi name' But when Smith admits
they must I* raised this is 'imply being realistic!
yiHEN LYNDON JOHNSON and Ralph Yarho-
THr rough were mu two senators from Texas, they
voted together more often than any other two men
in the I S Senate They voted alike 90 per cent of
the time'
Yet, Yarborough wa- "a wild-eyed, irresponsible,
dangerous liberal," while John-on was "a level-
headed, res|mnsiblc conservative."

The latest conclusion of our ‘'ex-
