Editorial-Wise Donus Masten Will Be Missed In the passing of Donus E. Masten, Greencastle is now minus a substantial young citizen. Not only has the city lost a well known resident but the Putnam County Republican Party has lost a conscientious. popular and energetic chairman. Mr. Masten was first a family man, a devoted husband and father. He was a true friend and a good businessman in his hne of work. The Daily Banner extends sincere sympathy to his wife, Dorothy Ann; their four children and his other relatives.
Yes, Donus Masten will be missed by all who knew
him.

Re flecta public
opinion?
By HENRY CATHCART Central Preu Washington Writer vy 'ASHINGTON—The Johnson administration la doing so well W with its legislative program that some of its officials are pinching themselves to make sure they’re awake. Congress established a pre-Easter record of activity that probably will stand for many years to come. Federal aid to education and Appalachia legislation have become law. The complex but none-the-less important revision of the law concerning gold reserves has also
been enacted.
Medicare under Social Security has moved through the House and is expected to receive speedy approval in the Senate. Other important legislation is moving along well, Including the annual appropriations bill which, in years past, has sometimes tied Congress and the Executive Department in knots. While much of what has been accomplished can be credited to the heavy Democratic majorities in the Senate and House that resulted from the November elections, at least some of it can also be attributed to a changing attitude on the part of American citizens. After all. Congress usually reflects rather than leads
public opinion.
The situation is moving so well for President Johnson that some of his advisers are concerned about too much being accomplished this session, leaving little work for next year. This is of real concern, particularly to the politically minded who believe that public awareness of legislative developments is more necessary in an election year than now. These Democratic leaders would like to see something held out for next year so that when Senate and House Democrats seek election, or re-election, their work will be fresh in the
• voters’ minds.

# TRUER WORDS, ETC.—Every once in a while someone utters a few words that seem to sum up everything. It occurred at a National Press Club luncheon the other day. Mort Sahl, one of the truly original wits of our time, was the guest of honor and principal speaker. After he had concluded his prepared address, he was asked what he thought the difference was between the New Frontier and the Great Society. Without a moment’s hesitation, Sahl shot back: “A short
memory.” e e e e
• FAIR’S HALL OF PRESIDENTS—A new exhibit at the New York World's Fair this year is the Hall of the Presidents, a concept that originated with the late President Kennedy a few short months before he was assassinated. Some of the nation’s most precious documents were shipped up to New York, along with some other memorabilia a few weeks ago. The shipment was made in secrecy and under heavy guard to avoid the possibility of theft or vandalism. Among the documents are a signed original of the Bill of Rights, Abraham Lincoln’s two inaugural addresses from the Library of Congress, and residential George Washington’s first inaugural address from the National Archives. Memorabilia K nnedy got the Idea for an exhibit when he At N.Y. Fair found a Hammon typewriter in the White House used by President Woodrow Wilson to type speech drafts. He made the decision as to the presidents who would be com-
memorated two nights before he died.

Calls For New World Order PARIS UPI —President Charles de Gaulle called Tuesday night for a "new order am a new balance” in the world free from domination by either the United States or Russia. He said France is the nation best qualified to help promote such a new world lineup, provided It maintains its own completely Independent national
policies.
“The reappearance of the nation with free hands that we again have become obviously modified the worldwide play of forces which, since Yalta, has been limited to tw'O partners,” he said in a record radio-televi-sion broadcast to the French
