A YOUNG BRIDE, strolling down a midtown Manhattan side street with her husband, suddenly made a dash for the curb and cried, “Quick, darling, go buy a car.

The college people in Tennessee, for example, published a book about a placid Appalachian - river called “The French Broad” and were deluged ' with orders from distributors of girlie magazines: The people at Johns Hop- - kins sponsored a book on water pollution and were advised by hostile critics that they could complicate matters further by having their entire staff jump into Chesapeake Bay. And one of the heads of the Columbia University Press was flying to Chicago when a bullet suddenly ripped through the fuselage while the plane was 1,800 feet in the air. “Confound it,” grumbled the Columbia pundit. “Our Spring list wasn’t THAT bad!” - * * * LIMERICK LANE: There was a young feUow unique Who fancied himself quite a shique. .

Race riots are /tangible threat' WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., said Wednesday that race riots i which have taken the lives of 118 persons since 1965 are becoming “a tangible threat to the preservation of law and order and our national secur-
ity.”
McClellan made the statement as his Senate investgations subcommittee opened hearings on the outbreaks of Negro ghetto violence that ripped U. S. cities the past three summers.

I washed and pressed the pieces, and sewed two together just large enough for a sweater to fit on nicely. I also sewed a strip for a tie to each comer. I had planned to fasten this to a frame. So far though I have just tied it real taut between my clotheslines. It works so well like that that I’m not going to bother with the frame. I like it very much because my sweaters dry so fast with the air circulating up through

St. Angelo, in effect, has called for Lake County chairman John Krupa to resign for failure to help elect Negro Richard G. Hatcher mayor of
Gary.
St. Angelo issued a statement
which said:
“I have advised the Lake County chairman that any party official who in his own mind for any reason cannot meet the responsibility of making a total effort to elect all nominees of the party, regardless of race, creed or religion, should in all

that the church throughout history has most often erred on the side of timidity and conservatism. Isn't it time we took a chance on being too bold? Just for a change, I’d like to see us moving out ahead of public opinion instead of lagging
behind it.”
The obvious riposte is that it’s great to be ahead of public opinion—if you're moving in the i right direction. And that of course brings the whole debate back to the central question of j what is the right course in
Vietnam.
It may well be the most difficult moral question that Americans have faced in this genera-
tion.
