THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT PMtiUabed Every Eveninc Except Sunday by THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT CO., INC, Betared at the Decatur. Ind.. Poet Office as Second Class Matter Dick D. Heller. Jr. — President Mrs. John Shirk Vice President Mrs. A. R. Holthouse ... Secretary Chas. E. Holthouse Treasurer' r „ Freedom or Frozen status? One of the main political issues before us today, and one that should be clarified in our minds, once and for all, is the issue of the relationship between individuals and the state. Should the government be subservient to the people — all the people — or should it serve the interests of the ruling clique, those who now have the power, to keep the people subservient the government? * * 0 That is the real issue before us today. You here many people crying about “individual rights,” but how many of them are talking about rights? Aren’t they really talking about the right to continue to be wrong, at the cost of hurting others, as they have in the past? If we have the right to offend others, then " we must give them the right to offend us. The “rights” which we talk about so much, but understand so little, were guaranteed, not to pro- , tect the majority, or those in power, but to protect the “little people,” those who need protection. The right of free speech for example is not just for, the powerful, it is for the individual. It gives him the right to air his views, and compare them with others. If the ideas are right, they will be accepted, sooner or later, by the majority. If not, they will be rejected. But free speech gives him the right to be heard. But this same freedom of speech is by no means absolute. You are still responsible for what you say, both legally and morally. To repeat “something you heard”, which is damaging whether true or false, is both immoral and illegal. It is a worse sin than most of those imputed by rumor to others. The majority seldom needs Constitutional guarantees. The minority always needs them. The Constitution stands between the majority and minority, to guarantee a minimum of rights, desired by All, to all. The government, through the legis- 1 latures, congress, courts, and administrations, supposed to uphold these rights. Every person in the United States has a right to be fairly represented in his state legislature, and in his Congress. For years, to protect their own seats in the legislatures, legislators have refused to reapportion their seats, so that each person in their state could be fairly represented; ■ Finally, the Supreme Court, under the 14th amendment, after 70 years of abuse, has acted. This could hardly be called a precipitous action. Nor is it in any way partisan, since both Democrats and Republicans voted for it. It is Constitutional, fair, and about time! The recent decisions by the Supreme Court should be read and understood, and backed up 100%, by every American. Editorial written by Dick Heller

With all the American beauties around, why the “imports” such as, from left, above: Claudia Cardinale, Elke Sommer and Britt Eklund? Again, simple economics: Roughly half the profits of American films are harvested abroad, and Europeans like to see their home-grown gals flicker on the silver screen.

Dirty Air Health Hazard

By U.S. SEN. PHILIP A. HART (D-Mich.) Dirty air is costing the American people sll billion a year—about S3OO for the average family. Dirty air not only money; it interferes with our comfort, safety and health. ;

Technically, this problem is called air pollution. It soils clothing and discolors house paint, it rusts metals and blackens public buildings. It damages trees, fruit, shrubs and flowers. It sickens cattle. It can ruin entire crops. There have been times when air pollution turned into a mass murderer. In 1952. two weeks of dirty fog killed an estimated 5,000 Londoners —more than the toll attributed to the cholera epidemics of the 19th century. Between 4,000 and 5,000 more people died than would have ordi-

narily. The same kind of thing happened in America on a smaller scale in 1948. in Donora, Pennsylvania. Twenty people died, and thousands got sick. The deadly fog continued to take its toll for a long time. Ten years later, death and sickness rates in Donora were much higher for people who had got sickfrom the-fog than for those who didn’t. Today, doctors are also concerned about the long term effects of air'pollution. They have found, for example, that * lung cancer deaths are twice as high in cities where air pollution is a daily problem as compared to rural areas where the problem doesn’t exist. Many persons think the problem of air pollution is new. It is not. It merely changes with the times. Not long ago, air was thought to be polluted only by smoke and soot, if still is. But—it is a! so poisoned by the wa'tes and gases from oil and gasoline and from the new chemical processes” that create our wonder drugs and fabrics. This is not a problem which can be handled locally. Local measures and state programs can and do contribute to cleaner air. Industry has undertaken important and effective research steps to control air pollution. But fully effective action requires Federal coordination as well as adequate funds and strong leadership. On December 17, 1963, President Johnson Signed into law ° the Clean Air Act which, he declared at the time, “can halt the trend towards greater contamination of our atmosphere.” lie added that with the new legislation “we can find the ways to eliminate dangerous haze and smog.” , He said that the Clean Air Act will permit expanded research. foster cooperative efforts among the states, and provide better state and/Federgl control over pollution’.» Industry will be encouraged to seek more effective solutions to the pollution problem. A big job lies ahead of us. President Johnson has pointed out that 90 percent ot the population ot our cities—over 100 million people—already suffer from a degree of air pollution that demands immediate action. And, he observed 6,000 American communities need assistance, now, t ’ / But President Johnson promised that the Clean Air Act will make possible a national effort, to control air pollution which he described as “a serious and growing threat to both our health and our safety.”

Urges Some State Challenge System

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R-S.D., has summoned the attorney general of some small state—any small state — to sue in a federal court for a new deal in the electoral college system of choosing presidents of the United States. Sen. Thruston B. Morton, RKy., seconds Mundt’s motion. Mundt and Morton seek relief from what Mundt terms the most flagrant violation of voting rights of individual citizens existing in the republic. Morton and Mundt are confident that the Supreme Court would hold the present electoral college system to be in violation of the Constitution. Their confidence is based on last week’s court ruling that both houses of the legislature in individual states must be similarly representative of numbers of people, in short, a one-man, one-vote rule. State by state, , the electors are. Chosen on a winner-take-all basis. A one-vote majority in New’ York state will deliver to

Philip A. Hart

a presidential candidate all of the state’s 43 electoral votes. Mundt contrasted that situation with the objectives of the pending civil rights bill. “The bloc system of voting in all state presidential elections as a unit in the electoral college in support of a presidential candidate scoring a bare . majority of the votes of his state,” Mundt told the Senate, > “nullifies to a considerable de- . gree the equity of provisions of this (civil rights) proposed leg- . islation. “The concept of one-citizen-one-vote is written out in the ■ civil rights bill. Under the win- [ ner-take-all method of counting [ electoral votes, however, the . winner gets not’ only the votes . oast for him, but also the votes f cast for his. opponent. He liter- [ ally can reach down into the . polling places and steal every vote cast against him and .have them added to his total as accounted for in the Electoral College.” . ’ Mundt cited the massive in- • ( fluence of the big cities in de- , termining the winner of „the electoral votes of the big industrial states. And he cited the massive influence within those great cities of racial, labor and Other pressure groups. These powrful -minorities actually are enabled to veto or to select and to elect presidential nominees and to write political platforms . and presidential policies. There results in great cities a kind of ' multiple (toting. Mundt contends that this is unfair to spall state voters. If some small state does not soon move to challenge the system in the courts, Mundt and Morton hope to get Congress moving on a resolution for a constitutional amendment. The project is pending in the Seate uder the title Seriate Joint Resolution 12. SJ 12 would provide for the J choice of electors exactly as ‘ members of Congress are chosen: One from each congressional district and two at -large as .U.S. senators are elected from each state. This system would enfranchise the spall state voters and rural voters in the big states who now are largely disenfranchised in the choice of a president. The left of center or liberal congressional elements that sparked the 1963 civil rights bill . are —in general on record against extending the presidential vote right to the little guys in the small states and in the. big state farms. The political power of these left of center or liberal congressional elements rests very largely on the big city pressure groups whose power would be clipped.

Industry To Fight Cigarette Orders

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The cigarette industry declared today it would go to court "if necessary” to Hock a new government requirement that cigarette packages and advertisements carry warnings that smoking can be fatal. The statement underscored the possibility that it may be four years or more before-'the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruling goes into effect—if ever. A spokesman for most of the nation’s cigarette manufactuers told a congressional committee today that the FTC “acted unlawfully” when it issued its ruling Wednesday. . Bowman Gray, board chairman of the R.J. Reynolds. Tobacco Co., said the industry apposed the rule because it felt the FTC’s warning requirement was “unwarranted” and that in anjr event the matter was one that should be decided by Congress, ’ ...—_ 2 . — “We shall oppose it .in the courts if necessary,” he said. Earlier, FTC Chairman Rand Dixon said there was no doubt in his mind that the requirement would be delayed for a minimum of four years if it ever was challenged in court. As the House Commerce Committee resumed its hearings into the entire smokinghealth controversy, the tobacco industry was reported preparing a suit to be filed in federal court immediately to test the legality of the FTC order. The FTC ruled Wednesday that cigarette packages and advertisements must carry a warning that smoking is dangerous and can cause death from cancer or other diseases. Under the FTC decision — prompted by the January report of the Surgeon General’s Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health — the requirements on labeling . would go into effect Jan. 1, 1965. The advertising restrictions would go into effect July 1,

1965—unless the industry voluntarily changed the tone of its advertising and various educational programs had begun to take effect with the public. In that event, the advertising curb might be delayed or even canceled. But the ’ FTC's plan may never materialize if the issue goes into the courts. Dixon told the House committee Wednesday that he figured it would take a minimum of four years for a U.S. district court, the court of appeals and, possibly, the Supreme Court to finally resolve the case. ? •/ M 4 !
