California Conference of Young Democrats We were very sorry to see the majority of the American press fall into a familiar trap this past month of accepting at face value a wire story, not United Press lnterntional, and base a series of quite critical editorials and comments on it. wire story, about four paragraphs long, summed up in two paragraphs the most controversial five of 32 resolutions passed by the Western States Conference of Young Democratic Clubs of America, meeting in San Francisco, Aug. 16-18. Based on this release, not _on the actual text of the 32 resolutions, numerous people from a freshman Democratic representative from Los Angeles to Fulton Lewis, Jr., and a former editor of the Decatur Daily Democrat, James R. Blair, of Americus, Ga., jumped to the conclusion that ‘‘Communist influences are or were working in the Young Democrat meeting,” that the Far West . Young Democrats are “firmly in the grasp of a highly vocal, group of emotional radicals, peace-at *any-pricers, and other assorted lunatic leftists.” Fortunately, after a week of one-sided attacks against the group, one congressman (not ours!) had the courage to look into the matter, and correct the record. “In general, the 32 resolutions strongly supported programs aimed at achieving peace in the world, a prosperous economy in the United States and freedom for all our citizens, goals which are difficult to disagree with,” Mr. Brown of California pointed out. “Methods suggested for reaching these goals included a national conference on peace, freedom and jobs, major tax cuts, increased public works, enactment of the test ban treaty, protection of the right to vote, congressional reform, a domestic peace corps, a non-agression pact between NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries support of the U.N. and similar measures, all of which I believe are within the realm of resectable discussion.” Brown deplored the tremendous pressures which force us toward political oonformity, rendering suspect almost any discussion of foreign affairs or liberal constitutional changes above the level of patriotic cliches. The meeting is to be commended for daring to approach problems from new approaches, even though we do not agree with all of the views expressed. The important thing is, that by discussing these things publicly, we can work out the best road for the United States to travel. If we cannot publicly discuss certain issues, such as a test ban, or relations with Cuba, or non-agression pacts, etc., then we cannot progress from the global anarchy of the present world situation. *» e

Dollar First Defense Line For Nation By L¥LE C. WILSON United Press International The clearest and most present danger to the welfare of the United States lies in the endless deficit operations of the United States at home and abroad and not in the fate of the test ban treaty. The voters and politicians who are in a lather about What the treaty would do to national security would do better to consider what already has overtaken the first line of American defense. The first line of defense is the U. S. dollar, its integrity, stability and value. This first line of defense is being breached by a lack of confidence in the integrity, stability and value of the U. S. dollar. There is nothing spectacular about lack of confidence. It is not possible to finger any specific calendar date in recent years and to assert that on this day lack of confidence began. It is like tuberculosis in that both diseases long oan flourish in the system without spectacular symptoms. Severe Reserves Drain And then, perhaps when it is too late, the disease makes itself known and the patient is confronted with a life-or-death crisis. So it could be with the U. S. dollar. Misconfidence in the U.S. dollar was acknowledged in fact last year when President Kennedy assured the world that he had no intention of devaluing the dollar. Speculation that Kennedy would be compelled to devalue was based on the fact that there had developed a severe drain on U.S. gold reserves. The drainage was to foreign creditors of the United States who chose to collect in goid rather than dollars. This drainage continues at an alarming rate despite Kennedy’s efforts to stop it and the administration’s acknowledgment that the end result could be very serious if the drainage continues. U. S. gold reserves amount now tc approximately $15.6 billion of which about sl2 billion must be held by the Federal Reserve System to the extent of 25 per cent oi the fed’s notes and deposit liabilities. The remaining $3.6 billion is free gold, available to foreign creditors who may prefer gold to dollars. But the sum of foreign claims that could be levied against this $3.6 of free gold amounts to about S2O billion. Could Cause Gold Run -If the foreigners demand gold when all of these claims come due, the United States will not be able to pay up. The Republican congressional committee is warning that miscqnfidence in the dollar could cause a run on U. S. gold. That, in turn, would require drastic action here, either to repeal the 25 per bent gold "backing for Federal Reserve obligations or a devaluation of the dollar by increasing the price of gold. Or, as the committee suggested, both! The foreign claims are created by one of the two mehacing deficits —a deficit in our trade and spending relations with the rest, oi the world. Foreign aid. U. S. tourists abroad, U. S. imports, maintenance of armed forces overseas — all of these contribute to this dangerous deficit. The other deficit, of course, is in the federal budget. This deficit tends to rot the dollar by diminishing its purchasing power. In terms of 1939 purchasing power, today’s dollar is worth about 45 cents. It will shrink to two bits and maybe to a dime in your life time and mine, too, unless the voters get smart. It isn't other people’s money the politicians are spending. It is yours!

Despite the negative assessments by crittes of the Administration, the 88th Congress has compiled a ™table legislative record of achievements designed to KEEP AMERICA MOVING AHEAD IN JBOTH DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS.) When President Kennedy took office 2Vs x eart *B° we * ere plagued by a sluggish economy, dipping into serious recession.

j m **“6o *‘*rr'*o *“ wv Thousands were faced with the prospeot of losing their*jobs to automation and being thrown into an already saturated job market with no skills to offer prospective employers. Our foreign policy seemad unable either to deny the offensive to our enemies or to cope with the forces of change which were sweeping the globe. Beginning with his stirring Inaugural Address President Kennedy -moved swiftly to remedy the situation, to respond to the challenge. Employment has climbed to a record high. Some

2J4 million more Americans are ' employed now than were when President Kennedy took office. Personal income is up SSO billion, labor ineome is up S3B billion. Net farm income, the amount left the farmer after he has mat hit expenses, is up S9OO million '(Gross Farm Income is np (2.9 billion). The Gross National Product—the true measure of the Nation’s wealth — has increased from $5Ol billion to approximately $579 billion. To achieve these domestic aims the President sponsored* a program which not only stimulated our economy but extended help to those Americans who had been forced to the edge of poverty. A temporary extension of unemployment benefits to more than 2,350,000 workers pumped SBOO million into the economy at the right place and the right time. The minimum wage was raised and, for the first time since 1938, coverage was extended. Covered workers received pay increases of sl7) million, with assurance that this will be raised to $536 milliois annually in the future. THe worker was helped, of count, but eo was the economy.

Roger Branigin Feels Way For Governorship By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Roger D. Branigin, Lafayette attorney, said today he will attempt to talk to Governor Welsh about the 1964 Democratic nomination for governor of Indiana. Branigin said he is seriously considering becoming a candidate but will not make his decision public until after the city elections in November., “I travel all the time and have visited many counties.” Branigin said. “I am talking to as many people as possible and am keeping my .ears to the ground to determine whether I have a chance. I am not too discouraged so far.” Branigin said he has no idea about the attitude of the governor toward his possible bid for the nomination. Concerning Welsh’s announced policy of waiting until after the municipal elections to

Workers who have lost their jobs because of automation are learning new skills which will enable them to become again a useful part of an ever more complex and industrialized society. Almost <O,OOO workers have learned or are now learning new skills under the Manpower Development and Training Act. Under the Area Redevelopment Act the Federal Government combined ’forces with State and local governments to aid those areas which were victims of our growing urbanization and industrialization and whose inhabitants were unable to help themselves. ARA provided funds for depressed areas to improve facilities, encourage new industries and, thereby, create more jobs. The program is at work in more than 1000* urban and rural areas. The Administration also asked and received the first major revision of the Internal Revenue Code since 19J4. The revision, a 7 percent investment credit, provided a $2.5 billion incentive to American business to expand, modernize and, thereby strengthen the economy and provide more jobs.

endorse a candidate, Branigin said “I think that’s smart.” At a recent French Lick party rally, Welsh said that he will name his favorite, and that favorite will be the one he deems most popular with party chiefs and the one most apt to defeat the Republican candidate for Statehouse boss. Candidates Perturbed Most of the active Democratic gubernatorial aspirants say privately they are much concerned about whether Branigin will run. Publicly, however, they contend Branigin will never go to the post. The most active Democratic gubernatorial possibilities to date are State Sen. Marshall F. Kizer, Plymouth; State Rep. Robert Rock, Anderson, floor leader; Clinton Green, secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Port Commission, and former Bloomington Mayor Thoas Lemon. A major consideration of the hopefuls ig the terrific cost of running for governor these days and the danger of becoming beholden , ia soliciting campaign funds. Ona of the chief arguments of Branigin backers is that he has no connection with the unlamented aiuj prolonged legislative session which produced a program of higher taxes.

Spain’s Progress Is Called Phenomenal

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Npws Analyst MADRID, Spain (UPI)—On a day early, this month, a trim white yacht dropped anchor in the northern Spanish port of La Coruna. Aboard was Generalissimo IjYancisco Franco, who was ihterl'upting a fishing vacation to hold his last cabinet meeting of the summer. Most important of the domestic issues to be discussed was Spain’s new $9 million development program which is to go into effect next Jan. 1. And for the next 48 flag-decked hours, La Coruna became in effect the working capital of Spain. By tradition established under the regency of Queen Maria Cristina, the Spanish government in the summer months moves to San Sebastian, near the Pyrenees, only 35 miles from Biarritz, across the border with France. Between San Sebastian and La Coruna the mountains hug the coastline and for 500 miles a narrow highway twists and turns its way through and over them, providing at once scenes of awesome beauty and the equally breathtaking prospect of a 1,000-foot plunge into nothingness in the case of driver error or mechanical failure. Claims aoad Worst In San Sebastian, a cabinet minister threw up his hands in mock horror when he learned; that Carlos Mendo, chief UPI correspondent for Spain, and 1 1 planned to drive it for the cabinet meeting. “It is one of the worst roads in Spain,” he said, “but at least you will see why we. need a development plan.” The road may not be the worst in Spain, but it must rate high among them. Huge trucks vie with speeding small passenger cars, and both

« *a must contend with the everpresent burros. And beyond this is the foot traffic, women headed for the nearest village, carrying upon their heads objects varying from metal, containers of milk to heavy bundles of fire wood. But it is a trip worth the effort. Symbols of Growth Along the way are symbols both of Spam’s new and growing prosperity as well as problems it still, faces. There is Bilbao, ranking with Barcelona as one of Spain’s principal industrial cities, called the Pittsburgh of Spain. In Bilbao, Santander, Oviedo and even in the meanest village new construction work seems unending. This also is the region of the Austurian coal mines where today the government regards with a tolerant eye a strike by 16,000 miners even though strikes in Spain are outlawed. The seams of brown coal are running out and many of the mines are uneconomic. The government is considering a plan of nationalization whereby some of these pits might be closed and the miners either b transferred to other diggings or retrained for other jobs. Here also are the Galician farmers, a taciturn folk unlike the talkative friendliness of the south. They live as their fathers before them on small, uneconomic plots of not much more than an acre, planting their patches of corn high up Jhe steep mountain sides. For them also the government is seeking a solution. But over all in the four years since stabilization of the currency, Spain's progress has been phenomenal. The growth rate has been more than 7 per cent annually and the government has more than a billion dollars in foreign exchange to work with.
