The Bulletin Editorial Page Saturday, May 9, 1959 Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin—A-7 The Reds Sell Our Line Ogden Nash once wrote a delightful jingle about a one l-lama being a priest, a two-l llama being a beast, and his willingness to wager his best pyjama that there just wasn't such a thing as a three-l llama. In an enlightened footnote he revealed that he had been informed by a fire buff that, sure enough, there is such a thing as a three-alarmer. Had he written that little bit of poetry today, Mr. Nash might well have dedicated it to the Chinese Reds, who have started a three-alarmer of outrage over their bloody deposition of the-one-l Dalai Lama from his political and spiritual throne in the Shangri-la of Tibet. Only one good thing can be said of Communism's latest brutality toward the human spirit. The Reds always have claimed to be able to do everything better than we. In this case they are selling our line that Communism is a bloody threat to world peace far better than we've ever been able to peddle it in our less aggressive way. The Lighter Side by Frank Eleazer WASHINGTON (UPI)—It was a heartwarming sight: Two senators versus a bureaucrat, each side outdoing the other in defense of our right to know how the public money is spent. But I guess nobody won, least of all us taxpayers. It was a meeting of the Senate's subcommittee on constitutional rights, headed by Sen. Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D-Mo.). All the fuss was about foreign aid. Hennings took the position this costs billions of dollars and that the people who put up the money are entitled to know what's done with it. Sen. Roman Hruska (R-Neb.) said he couldn't agree more because "this is public business." Even Leonard J. Saccio, acting foreign aid boss, could see this was reasonable. In fact he said we taxiers should be "fully informed." He said he bets dollars to doughnuts his agency is the most thoroughly investigated in town, and that he likes it this way. Key Words "Just About" Saccio said he lets Congress' investigators — who keep the lawmakers informed so they can tell us — see just about every record he has. Hennings said the key words here were "just about." The things Saccio's agency guards from the congressional gummohes, it develops, are papers called "evaluation reports." Hennings seemed to think they contain some interesting stuff. Saccio said maybe so, but it's for his eyes only. He said what happens is that the agency picks teams of good men to go out to the 66 countries on the foreign aid list and bring back private reports on how things are going. If they couldn't count on the agency keeping their reports confidential, he said, these fellows might not tell the whole story. Hennings and Hruska said these reports sounded like just the kind most needed by the congressional watchdogs. They challenged Saccio's right to withhold them. Saccio cited precedent, a presidential order, and an attorney general's ruling in support of his refusal to produce them. He said the whole thing boiled down to "executive privilege" derived from the constitutional division of powers among the Congress, the executive, and the courts. Hennings' subcommittee has been doing battle with this same argument for almost four years. Somewhat weary, Hennings said he was a little sick of this "executive privilege." Hennings could have quit there, while ahead, but he continued: "Some of us (in the Congress) don't have much privilege in the government. A fellow can get up anywhere and ask where I stand. There's not much that some of us can conceal." Deadlines Publicizing Payroll Saccio was much too smart to comment on that. Or maybe he just hadn't seen all the stuff in the papers about senators' payrolls. In general, these are almost as secret as Saccio's "evaluation reports" and possibly in some cases as interesting. Hennings has declined to make his payroll public, until the Senate as a body decides this should be done. So has Hruska. Hennings is chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, which has before it just such a proposal. He didn't make any announcement though about getting it approved anytime soon. And Saccio didn't say anything about changing his mind. So I guess we shouldn't look for new enlightenment soon, from either side of the table. SATURDAY, MAY 9—day, you are ambitious reliant.

Just Cap Your Birthday by Stella SATURDAY, MAY 9 — Born today, you are ambitious and self-reliant. You are not one to depend upon anyone else for results. If you want something, you go after it and seldom let anything or anybody rest until you have achieved your goal. So sure are you of your own capabilities that you tend to underestimate the abilities of others. Consequently, you try to do everything yourself. The stars have given you the ability to judge character truly, so make use of this gift in selecting co-workers. You will achieve more if you develop your latent executive abilities. Learn to delegate detail work to others, reserving your own strength and energies for thinking up new ideas and blueprinting them. You have an instinct for business, and although high finance may not be your main sphere in life, you are always able to make a good profit on anything you undertake. You may be slow to adopt a new idea, but once you have tested it and accepted it, the chances are excellent that it will succeed in making money for you. You believe in justice, but it must be your own idea of what is just! You have intense feelings, and although you are fond of the opposite sex, you are not demonstrable. You probably would find much more happiness if you were more spontaneous in showing your true affections. Among those born on this date are: Henry John Kaiser, industrialist; Prince Bernhard V o a Buelow, German statesman; Sir James M. Barrie, playwright; John Brown, reformer; Zita, former Empress of Austria and queen of Hungary. SUNDAY, MAY 10 — Born today, you possess an exceptional versatility that could be a handicap instead of an asset. Learn to specialize in one activity to the exclusion of all else. In other words, select one definite talent to develop. Regulate other interests to the hobby status. You have abnormally keen intuitions, and at times they appear to act instantly upon your hunches, rather than waiting. It is fatal for you to give things a second thought. It is usually wrong! You have a special gift for trouble-shooting, and you are always being called in by friends and neighbors to lend a helping hand in some problem. In business, others turn to you in a crisis. You seem to know all the answers instantly. You have a quick wit and a magnetic charm which draws people into your orbit. You enjoy traveling and probably will cover most of the earth's surface during your lifetime. You make friends as you travel, and before you die you will have friends around the world. You have an alert mind, and since you are exacting in your demands of others, you never hesitate to criticize their shortcomings. Fortunately, you know how to give your complaints the light touch. Your co-workers are likely to correct their faults in accordance with your suggestions without taking undue offense. Monday, May 11 TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 21) — Your big day so far this month. Just about everything seems to be going your way. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) — Push your major business interests. Introduce a new idea. Publicize your talents to get best results. CANCER (June 22-July 23) — Stars are smiling on you, so achieve some goal for which you have long been striving. LEO (July 24-Aug. 23) — An especially fine day for those in advertising, publicity or promotion. Get your product before the public. VIRGO (Aug. 24-Sept. 23) — Business is humming. Get an early start and you will discover that you can achieve miracles! LIBRA (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) — Those in the arts and professions find that their ideas are being well received by the public and critics. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You can afford to take a calculated risk to get something your heart desires. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 22) — A day when the personal equation rates high in achieving excellent results for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 23-Jan. 20) — Partnership affairs, either business or domestic, progress especially well for you now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) — An expansive day. See to it that you activate all new ideas aggressively. Project your best efforts. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) — You have the green light for a new venture which can influence your entire future. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) — If searching for a new job, it is likely you will find what you want today, so looking for it. Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba Assignment: Washington by Ed Koterba WASHINGTON — Maybe we can just blame it all on spring fever in the Senate. What I mean is that what those gentlemen have been saying and doing on the Senate floor the past two weeks isn't normal for grown boys and learned men. While the world's going to pot, our Senators have been blooming with wacky ideas, like the consoversay on what kind of art to paint on their tunnel walls. Sen. Paul Douglas (D., Ill.) brought this one up while talking up several hundred dollars' worth of Congressional Record space denouncing new carpets in outer offices. He said he'd prefer something like a mural of the dunes in the passageways. It seems that the walls of that concrete runway between the Senators' new office building and the Capitol are so bare that they annoyingly remind our free spenders of a taxpayer's cupboard, after taxes. The tunnel, Sen. George D. Alken (R., Vt.) said, gives him the bee-jeebees. "When one walks through the tunnel now," he said, "he gets the impression that a chair may be waiting for him at the other end." Anyway, after all that talk, the Senators voted themselves more than $4 million for more tunnels, carpets, furniture and other conveniences. For awhile there, our Solomons of The Hill did knuckle down to real business. They debated the Kennedy-Ervin labor bill. But Sen. Henry C. Dworshak (R., Idaho) went further than the knuckles. He put up his dukes. We were watching the juvenile show from the gallery. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, liberal Republican from California, was making his pitch. From a few seats away, Sen. Dworshak cupped his hand and booed for all us free-admission spectators to hear. Undaunted, Sen. Kuchel finished and headed for the cloakroom door. The Idahoan rushed at his adversary, but it wasn't until they were behind the doors that the two went at it. A third party stepped between them, however, before blows were struck. For three days, our dynamic deliberators hassled about the actions of an unfriendly horse. They argued the propriety of discussing the work of psychiatrists, and for a time it appeared propitious to bring one out on the chamber floor. When Sen. Wayne Morse (D., Ore.) questioned the mental instability of Clare Boothe Luce for questioning his mental instability, Sen. John A. Carroll (D., Colo.) began casting doubt on the entire Senate's mental instability. Said he: "I suggest that if we continue along these lines in this debate much longer, not only the whole country, but also Latin America, will think we are all nuts." I must rise in defense of our Senators, for actually there is strong evidence to show they are of sound, mature mind. But, as I said, you've got to excuse them. After all, spring fever comes but once a year. (Copyright, 1930, by United Fiction Syndicate, Inc.) Capitol Dispatch by David Lawrence PARIS — The military men stationed here do a lot of talking among themselves about the next war. But, oddly enough, they don't always mean the same war. First, of course, there is ever present the thought of a nuclear war, which presumably would be decided in a brief period and would not involve ground forces to any great extent. Then, second, there's the concept of a "limited war" which might or might not lead to a general war but which, if bungled through lack of adequate preparation, could plunge the world into a nuclear holocaust, whereas proper measures taken in advance could act as a "deterrent power." But there's a third contingency about which relatively little has been said in print. It involves such action as was taken by the United States last year when Marines attached to the Sixth Fleet and some Army units were landed in Lebanon. This did not involve the forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but was solely an American action. Supposing, therefore, the argument goes, the United States for reasons of its own, should wish to provide a military demonstration either in the Middle East or in Southeast Asia where the Soviets, through their infiltration technique, had virtually taken over a small country. The Russians theoretically would not themselves be a belligerent but, for all practical purposes, would be testing the retaliatory power of some Western country like the United States. With what military forces would the United States have to deal with? United States and another ally to handle this problem expeditiously. Yet an emergency of this kind in a local area could bring on the first stages of a "limited war" and find the Western Allies militarily unprepared to meet it. It is being suggested that a "Mobile Force" — consisting of U.S. Army and Marine Forces fully equipped for such tasks and supplied at first by air and later by sea — should be set up for the specific purpose of dealing with Communist infiltration in areas where the constituted government invites help from western governments, as was the case in Lebanon. The whole idea is not merely to confront the Communists with a potential deterrent by the NATO "shield" and other armament in Western Europe, but to take into account protective measures against the wider range of Communist military activity in North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia in what is euphemistically termed the "Cold War."

From the time their first son was able to move around, they insisted that he share his toys with other children who were visiting, even if this meant that he had nothing with which to play. "It's never too early," they said, "for a child to learn that he must be unselfish." But Allen apparently wasn't a very fast learner, for he continued to hold on to things he wanted. It was a major project to get him to share and then he didn't do it happily. The Abbots were quite mistaken in what they said, for it can be too early and too much to expect a two or three-year-old to give up beloved toys. It is important that there be extra toys for use of "visitors." Until a child feels fully satisfied that his things are his and won't be taken away, broken or lost, he can't be expected to share easily. What we must remember is that sharing is something quite "unnatural" and is learned only gradually. A youngster needs to feel, too, that he will be getting something when he gives something up. Later, of course, as he grows older, the sharing business comes more easily, but not if he has been pushed into it too early and too often. (Copyright, 1959, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)
