The Lighter Side

(By DICK WEST) WASHINGTON UPI — It may be assumed, I hope, that in a country like Iran a sense of fairness will always prevail. Should Iran ever be attacked by Russia, the Iranians would defend themselves with American weapons obtained under the U.S. military assistance program. And in the unlikely event these ever had occasion to defend themselves against Americans, they would do so with Russian weapons. I mean, the Iranians surely wouldn’t be so ill-mannered as to shoot Americans with American guns or turn Soviet arms against the Soviets. It would be a violation of military etiquette. That being the case, I don’t see why Rep. Otto E. Passman, D-La., should be in such a quandary. Yet Passman’s perplexity was very evident at recent House Subcommittee hearings on the new military assistance budget. After bringing out that total American economic and military assistance to Iranians this year are buying $110,000,000 worth of military equipment from Russia. To Passman, this seemed paradoxical. •T cannot reconcile with common sense or logic the fact that we are giving Iran military equipment so that they can defend themselves against Soviet attack and at the same time Iran is purchasing from Soviet Russia $110,000,000 worth of military equipment,” he mused. Approximately he was working from the premise that Rus-

sia would not likely be cooperating in the program to prepare Iran’s defenses against Russia.

Start campaign for signatures

Greencastle Local 5772 of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, today announced plans for full participation in a program to end riots, fires, lootings and shootings in American cities. “We’re asking through petitions to Congress that jobs, housing and education be provided now for the Jmproverished,” CWA Local President David R. Suit said. The Local, one of more than 800 CWA Locals in the United States that will participate in the program, said the drive for signatures opened September 10. Plans are to present more than a miUion signatures to Congress. Suit said that members of CWA Local 5772 will seek signatures of everyone — friends, neighbors and relatives—in the Greencastle community. The Executive Board of the union, which represents more than 420.000 workers in the U. S., adopted the program in late August, Suit said. “We know the cities which stand the brunt of the cost of riots in both life and property do not have the tax structure to handle their own problems. The states are much better off than the cities, but still cannot do the job. We have a perfect right then to expect Congress, now in session, to use its great power to equalize the situation.” ha added,

Vice Adm. L. C. Heinz, director of the assistance program sought to assure Passman that Iran’s “basic commitment to the United States” had not been significantly weakened by the purchase of Soviet equipment.

Frank Peterson of DeKalb, Illinois, has suffered a light stroke and he and his wife were unable to come for the funeral of her niece, Mrs. James Skelton. Richard Branham is now home at Greencastle from the Robert Long Hospital. They were unable to perform surgery on his leg, as planned, due to the bone not being healed. He is wearing a new cast, heavier than the other. His new address is 312 Melrose, Greencastle, off N. College. The community has been grieved by the death of six residents in the past four weeks. They were Ross Hanks, Willis Bundy, Willis Dickson, Wentz Gilley, Mrs. Corda Rogers and Mrs. James Skelton. The last five lived within three or four blocks of each other. Another was Mrs. George Stisher, who was a Bainbridge R. R. resident.

But Passman remained nonplussed.

“It is all right with you if I do not try to understand it, is it not?” he asked.

As I indicated earlier, I do not share the Congressman’s mystification. It seems clear tto me that Iran is merely trying to be polite.

Any country, if sufficiently foresighted, will plan for eventualities that may never come to pass.

You can imagine how embarrassed the Iranians would be if they suddenly found themselves at odds with the United States and had nothing on hand for defensive measures except American weapons.

Why they would never live it down.

Drive-in marriages

DENISON, Tex. (UPI) — A sign on a house just north of the Texas border in Oklahoma offers “Drive-In Marriages.”

The owner of the house, Rev. J. T. Harmon, said “when the new highway opened we had to do something.”

One principal business in this area is matrimony — Some 2,500 to 3,000 marriages a year are performed north of Denison — and business has never been better. Most of the weddings are for Texans. Texas couples seem to like this area of Oklahoma because of the ease with which out-of-state couples can get a license after hours. Customers from the DallasFort Worth area and points north often make the trip, get married, and return home the same evening. One justice of the peace, Ross Beal Nix, said he once performed 25 ceremonies in 24 hours. Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney drove to Bryan County from Dallas to get married. Nix said he was set to perform the ceremonies for Marina Oswald and Kenneth Porter before reporters found out they were in the area. The couple went back to Texas. When a couple stop at one of the marriage mills, they are first taken to a nearby clinic for a blood test, then to the home of Court Clerk Clark Grimes for a license. Witnesses are also supplied if the couple do not have their own. Judge Nix said weddings had increased in numbers in the past year, and gave the step-up of the war in Vietnam as a major reason.
