My weaknesses I’ll lay aside, And petty whims I’ll try to hide.

Faulconer urged the nonpartisan selection of Judges, pointing out that 1966 was an election year and half the Appellate Court judges would have to ge before the voters. He said this would possibly slow the work of that body. Faulconer told the commission “this is our opportunity to do something for the people of Indiana. Don’t just collect facts and let them sit. You can do a big thing for Indiana.” Cox also said he was surprised when the Legislature created a new court because another judge had 700 cases a year.

Citizens seem not to be aware of this grand larceny being committed against them. The Common Man so beloved by the politicians Is more loved for being a sucker on Election Day than for wit, or wisdom. It is the common man and his wife, meaning most of us, who have kept in office over the years the soft money politicians. These easy money operators do not act to prevent the destruction of the dollar. Instead of protecting the shrinking dollar, they whoop it up for programs that help hasten the day when the American buck will be worth two bits or less at the grocery stores. It is the misfortune of the American people that the politicians have found this system to be policies. It gets them into office and keeps them there. It is the good fortune of the politicians that American citizens do not have the wisdom to beat this shell game. The fat cats who own stocks

and real estate are not much hurt and may be much helped by money inflation. It Is the little guy, the Common Man, who Is hurt. So what does the little guy do ? He steps out with his missus next election day and votes to keep in office the same politicians who are burning up his savings, his Insurance policy, his wages and his

future.

Some time ago a scale of the grand larceny being committed against the common man was published by Tax Foundation Inc. of New York. If you had purchased a 31,000 U.S. bond in 1949, shrinking purchasing power would have reduced the value of that bond over the years like this: 1955, $889; 1959, 3818; 1965, $778, and 1964, $770. Those statistics should mean something to the Common Man and his missus, the most numerous voters In the United States. But they seem not to mean anything at all because the common man persists in his lunacy that the spending of federal dollars does not cost him anything. Such spending does, In pact, cost him something in taxes and more in speeding the deterioration of the dollar’s purchasing power. Currency inflation Is deadly

to the family or the individual on a fixed income. The wage earner can hope to increase his income with some expectation of realizing his hope. The pensioner more often is struck. The politicians have persuaded the trusting Common Man that all he gets from Washington,D. C., is free lunch at no cost to him or to his family. The common man is a sucker for that kind of hokum.

the Sino-Soviet breach. And the bombing of North Viet Nam seems to have made reconciliation between the Communist camps even less probable than it was before. Few observers will deny that America’s task might be incomparably more complicated if the once monolithic Communist bloc were able to speak in one voice today. But there are those who argue that if that voice belonged to the relatively more moderate Kremlin, the Russians might have found a way of persuading Hanoi to negotiate peace. With the Chinese looking across the border over Ho Chi Minh’s shoulder, Moscow appears to have little influence on North Viet Nam’s plans. As it is, despite Hanoi’s public expression of gratitude for Soviet aid, Peking described Soviet hardware in Viet Nam as “obsolete equipment discarded by the Soviet armed forces.” Moscow has hinted that the Chinese sabotaged the delivery of Soviet arms to Hanoi. Reliable sources, however, have little doubt the Chinese have impeded the flow of Soviet arms and have not permitted Soviet technical personnel to train North Vietnamese on the spot in the use of sophisticated anti-aircraft weapons. A confidential letter from the Chinese to the Russians leaked out in London a few weeks ago, said the Chinese had refused the transit across China to Viet Nam of 4,000 Soviet troops. “Frankly, we do not trust you,” Peking told Moscow. About two years ago the Soviet press quoted Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi as saying that the Sino-Soviet alliance is no longer effective and China would not expect Soviet aid in case of war. The alliance pact signed in 1950 apparently never had any teeth. It was directed against possible aggression by Japan against either of the signatories or by powers associated with Japan, presumably the United States. But a little over a year ago Mao Tze-tung told a group of Japanese legislators that the Russians, after World War II, had unjustly grabbed the once Japanese-held Kurile Islands. The Chinese leaders spoke glowingly of historic Japanese feats of arms and appeared to suggest that the Japanese would be justified in reclaiming those islands. Mao was equally generous in suggesting the restitution of post-war territory the Russians annexed from Germany, Poland and Romania. Mao’s remarks are hardly consistent with a pact of alliance and were so interpreted by the Russians. His observation seemed to reduce the pact to a scrap of paper. Can a country which encourages irredentist claims against its “ally” expect aid from that “ally,” if it finds itself at war? And should that war be with the United States, could Peking ask for Soviet aid when all its recent propaganda has proclaimed the Soviet leaders to be conspiring with the United States for world domination? It seem* unlikely.

in review

By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI — Isn’t it about time television got around to a good rousing situation comedy series about a divorced couple? I mean, if you’re looking for a vast, untapped audience that wants contemporary realism, there it is. CBS-TV’s new “Trials of O’Brien” series has come pretty close to the target. The best thing about the weekly show is the relationship of the flamboyant lawyer antihero Peter Falk and his exwife (Joanna Barnes). The trouble is that “Trials of O’Brien” is so full of hokey, pretentious New Yorkese, scen-ery-chewing actors and plots that get in the way, that the charming divorce relationship is diluted in its effect. “Trials of O’Brien” probably isn’t long for television anyway, what with its very low ratings, but it seems to me that some genius at CBS-TV might pull off a coup by junking the doom-

ed format as it now stands, and keeping Falk and Miss Barnes in their same roles in a brand new situation comedy about divorce. Throw out their present onehour weekly program length, cut it to half an hour and send my royalty checks special delivery. I’m sure I’m right about all this. People are getting tired of secret agent spoofs and happy families. They want modern reality. Divorce. To keep the teen-age televiewing audience happy too, there could be a teen-aged divorced couple outsmarting their divorced elders. You have to sense a trend. “Father Knows Best,” Donna Reed, Ozzie and Harriet — all that stuff is out. Too unreal. People aren’t really happy any more. A few seasons back or sometime thereabouts, somebody thought widows would be a big thing for television—you know, with all the insurance statistics and all. So, if memory serves me, Gertrude Berg had a shot at a series about a widow. And I think Loretta Young did too. Not a chance. What people really wanted to see was divorce. There are a million ways this whole new trend could be handled. You couldn’t use the old Jackie Gleason - Audrey Meadows “Honeymooners” love-hate relationship of man and wife because it was much too unfriendly for divorce, although just right for marriage. A much better idea, for Instance, would simply be to take he Dick Van Dyke series and make a few adjustments. As you know, or maybe you don’t if you only read the important news in the papers, the Van Dyke series is ending this season. What I would do is simply take the fictional married couple of Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore, have them get a divorce and bring them back in a new or continuing series. There’s no reason they couldn’t be happy and civilized about the whole thing. It would be a smash. CHATEAU DOUBLE FEATURE
