‘Bring ’em back alive’

By United Press International Police forces around the nation are taking steps to try to hold down traffic fatalities during the Independence Day weekend. Deaths could go as high as 800, says the National Safety Council. The July 4th weekend begins at 6 p.m. local time Wednesday and ends at midnight Sunday. In that time, the council has estimated, 700 to 800 persons will die on the nation's highways. The American Automobile Association estimates that 70 million persons will get into 26 million automobiles and cover about 4.3 billion miles during the holiday. ‘‘Bring ’em back alive!” is the AAA’s program for this July 4th. Most police forces will try, a United Press International sur. vey shows. In Texas, usually among the states leading in number of traffic fatalities, the department of public safety will conduct “operation motorcide.” All state troopers will be on duty and uniformed men from other department divisions will boost the force. Casualty reports will be given every three hours. Florida’s “Bring ’em back alive” program worked well last year. The Florida Conference of AAA Motor Clubs, working with the Florida Association of Broadcasters, will have headquarters in Orlando. Beginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday, hourly safety broadcasts over a network of 150 radio stations across the state will provide information on weather, traffic congestion, which parks are crowded, where the fishing is good-and the latest traffic toll. In Louisiana, AAA public affairs director Jim Mills says the AAA has just finished compiling causes of the 16

traffic fatalities in the state over the Memorial Day holiday. Not one of the victims was wearing a seat belt, he said.

Arkansas state police will fly flags on each patrol car—the second time since the practice

started Memorial Day. A white flag will be flown if no traffic deatlis occur in the county. If there is a fatality a red flag will be flown. Many stretches of Arkansas highways have been marked so planes can tell if

drivers are speeding.

Woman’s View By GAY PAULEY

UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI)—Let it be the glorious Fourth but let it also be a time to remember what the day represents in the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Certainly it means vacation and sunburn and long, leisurely days as summer drones along. It means ice cream ripening in the crank freezer bucket and fireworks and oratory in the courthouse square and flags draped from windows and parades and men dusting off old uniforms to march in them and other men pausing on the fighting front in Vietnam to reflect on this independence for which America always does battle. What it means to those who burn their draft cards I shall not ask. But the inherent surge for independence is built in every man worth his salt and the search is what created this nation—“my country right or wrong, but my country.” The desire for freedom long has inspired the poets, the philosophers, the statesmen. John Adams never forgot the meaning of the word. Adams was one of the instigators of the Declaration of Independence adopted by the Continental Congress July 4, 1776. It was on the morning of July 4, 1826, that Adams was aroused from sleep by the discharge of cannon and asked the cause. On being told it was Independence

Day, he murmured, “Independence forever” and sank into a coma from which he never awoke. He had suggested the phrase a few days previously as a toast to be offered in his name at a banquet to be given on the Fourth. U.S. patriots all! But it was in 1750 that William Shenstone was writing, “the charms of independence let us sing.” Tobias Smollett, in an ode to independence, in 1760 had written, “thy spirit, independence, let me share! Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye.” And for those who poke at the flaws in the republican form of government, or democracy, which is ours, way back in the year 116 A. D. Tacitus Annas was observing, “It is easier for a republican form of government to be applauded than realized.” And George Bernard Shaw sniped away with, “democracy reads well, but it doesn’t act well.” But I for one, on the eve of Independence Day, will settle for the words of Daniel Webster; “I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American.”

Foreign News Commentary By PATRICK J. KILLEN MANILA (UPI)-The Philip, pines and Malaysia, two of Asia’s best-functioning democracies, are having troubles trying to be good Southeast Asian neighbors. The main problem is a “vest pocket confrontation,” in the Philippines claim to a sizable chunk of North Borneo, which Malaysia maintains is part of its federation. The Filipinos say the claim is to the eastern three-fifths of the Malaysian state of Sabah where 130,000 of the state’s half million people live. The area includes all but one of the state’s big coastal towns and the main shipping points for Sabah's timber and mineral wealth. The region, about the size of South Carolina, occupies Borneo’s northern crown and is noted for its fine forests, its full employment and lack of crime and Communists. Geographically, Sabah is located within 18 miles of the nearest Philippine island while it is separated from the Malaysian mainland by more than 1,000 miles. Sabah joined Malaysia in 1963 when the old Federation of Malaya was expanded to take in Singapore and two of Britain’s three Borneo dependencies. Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Philippines president, is more internationally minded than some of his fellow politicians and has shown signs of wanting to make love, not war, with Malaysia. But Philippine politics demand frequent displays of nationalism by public officials, so the Sabah claim is pressed forward. Win or lose, Manila wants the claim to go to the international court of justice at The Hague. Malaysia maintains it still does not know enough about the Philippine case to agree to accepting any court ruling.

Cadou’s column

By EUGENE J. CADOU INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The political future of Gordon St. Angelo, Democratic state chairman, seems to depend on the success of Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey in the party’s presidential contest. St. Angelo’s chief activity nowadays appears to be lining up as many of Indiana’s 63 national convention delegates as possible for Humphrey, who did not enter the Hoosier presidential primary. His opponent in that drive is Dr. James A. Bogle, South Bend, who is battling for Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy. Bogle, a political science professor at Notre Dame, is McCarthy's Indiana manager. The late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was first in nine of Indiana’s 11 congressional districts in the primary while Governor Branigin, managed by St. Angelo, won only two districts, the 5th and 6th. Seek Kennedy Delegates Bogle contends McCarthy should have most of the deleGI’s awarded Medal of Honor By NAT GIBSON SAIGON (UPI) — “Grenade! Grenade!” someone screamed. Four Americans in the foxhole froze. The fifth did not. The man with the nerve was a 20.year-old paratrooper from Ohio. He decided in a split second that giving one life to save four was wbrth it. He dived atop the wooden-handled Communist-made grenade and somehow survived the blast, though wounded. His identity was being withheld until his family is notified. The paratrooper’s company commander has recommended a Medal of Honor—the highest award for valor “above and beyond the call of duty.” The act of heroism last Sunday on a battlefield 29 miles northwest of Saigon was exceptional but the paratrooper was not the only hero that day in a raging close-quarters fight in which American fighting men smashed wave after wave of attacking Viet Cong. Nineteen other Americans received medals on the spot from Maj. Gen. F. K. Mearns of the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division. Five received silver stars for gallantry: 1st Lt. Arthur Short of West New York, N.J.; 1st Lt. Edmond Wick of Dubuque, Iowa; 1st Lt. Michael Williams of Spokane, Wash.; Sgt. Benjamin F. Cathey of Fayetteville, N.C., and the company commander, Capt. John W. Hendrix of Savannah, Ga. The Silver Star ranks just below the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal for valor. Twelve men received the Bronze Star, ranking just below the Silver Star; Sgt. James Hedge of Highland, Ind.; Sgt. Kenneth Brokaw of Internation, al Falls, Minn.; Spec. 5 Kenneth Van Dusen of Hermosa Beach, Calif.; Spec. 4 Terry Donnick of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Pfc. James W. Fields of Fort Worth, Tex.; Sgt. Gerald Guerino of Philadelphia, Pa.; 1st Lt. Thomas Souter of Kansas City, Mo.; Sgt. James Burke of Brunswick, Ohio; Sgt. Dudley J. Estay of New Orleans, La.; Spec. 4 Terry Sherman of Norwalk, Calif.; Spec. Ubaldo Maestes of Santa Monica, Calif., and Spec. 4 Kenneth Kubinsky of Faribault, Minn. Two men were awarded the Army Commendation for Valor: Sgt. Marcus Clute of Tulsa, Okla., and Pfc. Lester L’Heureaux of Omaha, Neb.

gate votes that would have gone to Kennedy, a claim disputed fervently by St. Angelo. Both Bogle and St. Angelo are delegates. ' St. Angelo undboutedly is a tough-luck politician who had a brilliant start in state affairs and then suffered a dismaying series of defeats.

Branigin in 19G4 chose St. Angelo to manage his campaign and the state chairman was on top of the heap when Branigin led all other major Democratic nominees in the election. St. Angelo handled patronage problems with skill and streamlined operations of the party’s state headquarters. He instituted scientific polling, adopted computerized procedures and attempted to emulate practices of big business. At the same time, he worked

long ours at headquarters and probably visited more counties than any other state chairman in recent history. Trend Against Him However, the national trend was against him, probably chiefly due to antagonism to the Vietnam War and to violence in the streets. St. Angelo was defeated in four successive elections. The Republicans downed him in the 1966 state election and in the 1967 mayoral balloting. He lost twice this year when

Branigin linished s«-'ond to Kennedy in the presidential pi itnary -and l.t. Gov. Robert 1. Rock won the guliei nator ial nomination from State Rep. Richard C. Bodine, St. Angelo’s protege, by two slim votes. St. Angelo undoubtedly sees the handwriting on the wall. Rock has announced that someone else will manage his campaign against the Republicans. Thus, it appears that the end of the road has come for St. Angelo in Hoosier political affairs.
