TODAY'S EDITORIAL More Red Aggression riTHE ATTENTION of the American public has been I riveted on the struggle to defend the freedom of South Vietnam but the battle in Southeast Asia is not the only, nor possibly the most dangerous, example of Communist aggression. The recent coldblooded murder of John Mein, U.S. ambassador to Guatemala, by the Communists is a brutal reminder that Red insurgency is at work close to home. That Central American republic has been under siege by Castroites for almost two years. Early in 1968 two American military officers stationed in Guatemala were killed by the Communists. Castro’s agents have even succeeded in forming terrorist groups right on American soil. They have committed acts of sabotage in Puerto Rico and have terrorized Cuban exiles here and abroad, according to the American Security Council. The council also reports that Castro has opened a guerrilla warfare camp to train terrorists to infiltrate American minority groups. Cuba, which receives at least $500 million a year from the Soviet Union, has created beachheads in South America, too. Particularly in Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela. The Communists have made their gains south of the border because the United States has ignored the danger signs and has failed to take the lead in countering the growing threats posed by the Castroite insurgents. In fact, the Johnson administration has dragged its heels in the Organization of American States, despite urgings by Venezuela that collective action be taken to protect the security of the Western Hemisphere from Communist aggression. The Communists are entrenched only 90 miles away. How much closer will they come before the alarm is sounded in Washington?

America has learned some lessons from the two political conventions. The les.- are, in the -n:i i. bitter ones and should be evaluated singly. ONE; Cities should not pay a hal’' n llion dollars or more to atti’ i • i convention. The publicity has become adverse because the television commentator and syndicated reporter are too sophisticated to find anything good about anything. Some readers will recall that, months ago, I declined to attend either convention. My stories, compared to theirs, would have appeared naive. TWO: The agenda is a profound bore. Few persons are more pitiful than one politician introducing another whose function is merely to introduce a third man. Matters of credentials and rules should be submitted to voice votes rather than an interminable polling of the states. No state should be permitted to “pass” as a subterfuge for sticking a wet finger into the wind. THREE; In the matter of party platform, the committee should permit one majority report and one minority report, each to be won by committee vote before the convention opens. Both should be submitted to the delegates with one fifteen-minute speech for each side. FOUR: All ten-dollar-per-man spontaneous demonstrations should be forbidden, and the Ser-geants-at-Arms should be better organized to foreclose them before they start and force the delegates back in their seats or eject them for the current session. FIVE: Journalists should be kept from the floor at all times. Radio and T.V, men hunt foi trouble-makers. They interview delegates of little consequence to get ballooned stories that burst within the hour. One night a CBS man had us believe that Teddy Kennedy and Gene McCarthy were conferring about combining-with Unruh of California--to stop Humphrey. Another was that a Mrs. Breeze of Minnesota*-who kept referring to herself as Black--

said she and “other blacks” were leaving the floor of the Democratic convention because they were there solely to represent Negro interests, not national ones. SIX; Party platforms are archaic for two reasons. They seldom take a blunt stand on any question that can win or lose an election--i.e. Vietnam, Civil Rights--and further, they bind a man to their several credos even though he had yet to be selected and may not have the conscience to swear to uphold it. SEVEN: Almost all political powers are moral thieves. They will trade all the Ten Commandments to get one more vote than fifty percent. The windy speeches of the “distinguished gentleman” are (1) seldon written by him; (2) sometimes understood by him; (3) fine-combed by advisers for any dangerous truth; (4) preread by friendly delegations to ascertain if they object to any part of it. We should cut the nominating and seconding speeches to a total of one each for every candidate. EIGHT: The Democrats-as opposed to the Republicans-should discipline themselves to permitting one vote for each state delegate, not carving one vote into two halves or three thirds. NINE: Galleries should be screened behind glass so that the people can see and hear, but not be heard, when the chairman asks for “Yes” and “No” votes. TEN; Newspaper polls prove that significant percentages of votes shift from March to November. This makes all but the final one invalid. All states should have party primaries on the same day in August, so that the will of the people will have clarity instead of poll popularity contests. ELEVEN; Major conventions should be held in the first week of September, in tandem. Each should be confined to three days

DEAR HELOISE: If you happen to live in what we call a hard - water area or have well water which spots every dish you wash, how do you keep the spots off the water glasses, the stainless steel and stuff? Please . . . we in this area are desperate. Heloise Clan * * * Honey-pie, we happen to h ■ campers ourselves. There is one plaee that we’ve been camping in for over a year now. Water out there is loaded with minerals, too. The only solution I’ve found is to use a water softener or conditioner. OH, instead of washing all of the dishes at once, wash only three or four at a time. Then STOP and dry ’em I have also learned to use paper towels for this instead of dish towels. The reason being ... I can throw that wet paper towel over a towel bar and it will dry out and I can re-use it again. If not for that then somethin’ else. Also when I wipe something such as a pan or glass with a terry cloth towel, it ACCT'.Ml'LATKS the mineral deposits! I have also learned that if you get your water from a well that you can pour it through a thick hath towel or two and it strains lots of those minerals out. Helps oodles. The best thing you can do is heat some water and immediately rinse the FEW dishes you have washed, and dry them P.D.Q. Thus, no more of those mineral water marks.
