Editorial .... A Workable Solution, Not Just A Change (Reprint from the Bloomington Courier Tribune) THE CAMPAIGN ISSUE apparently closest to the hearts and votes of Americans is that of “law and order,” not that couched in racist terms but the one of erasing crime from our streets, eliminating blight from our ghettos and restoring morality to the land. The differing viewpoints of Republican Richard M. Nixon and Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey are becoming strongly etched as this presidential campaign heads into its last month. Mr. Nixon very clearly puts the problem in its priority position and calls for a cabinet-level council and a national academy of law enforcement to train local police. He wants careers in law enenforcement enhanced so officers can be proud of their profession and the people will be proud of their policemen. He also would create a national co-ordinating center to serve as a clearing house for civic groups and policemen with new ideas on stopping lawlessness. MR. HUMPHREY has advocated a radically different course. He typically proposes massive Federal aid to improve local police, courts and correction institutions. This, for too many years, has been the Great Society theory of spend and spend to solve our ills. This has not worked as all could see the other night when less than a hundred punks virtually halted an HHH address before some 6,000 to 7,000 of this supporters. Watching the Humphrey reaction, it was easy to see this heckling is wearing thin on the frustrated Democratic nominee and his retorts of obvious irritation produced no halt to the uncouth hooters. What did permit Humphrey to continue his political speech? Policemen with arms removed the hecklers from the hall by force. THUS, THE PATTERN of choice in this campaign on restoring law and order in this nation becomes most clear. Although armed with his SOS- Strategic Overnight Service-Mr. Humphrey shows no ability to cope with the lack of order at his rallies. The SOS represents a group, headed by Demo National Chairman O’Brien and including a dpzen of Humphrey’s top Washington advisors, which seeks to form a continuing policy for Humphrey’s campaign. What this amounts to is the bringing together of the top brains available to Humphrey to decide the course of the HHH campaign daily. The sad fact is that the scheme is not working and the frustration of doubt is exposed throughout the Humphrey camp. THE STRATEGY of Mr. Humphrey and his team of advisors has fizzled in other areas. While most people hu-hummed the resignation of George Ball as our UN ambassador to work in the HHH campaign there have been expressions of resentment of brash Ball pronouncements since he left the UN cloak and donned his political garb. With a show of unconcealed arrogance, Mr. Ball has lambasted Mr. Nixon’s integrity. This even brought from a fence-riding clergyman, Billy Graham, a loud squawk of pain when Mr. Graham contended openly there was no basis for Mr. Ball to make such a trashy statement. Humphrey’s manager, former Postmaster Genera’. O’Brien, has adopted the same type of tactics as Ball-Presumable in hopes a “give-em-hell” Harry Truman campaign will work. The fault here is that there is no Truman in the HHH cast.

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.’s ON THE RIGHT

v. George Ball’s announcement he left the United Nations to help avert a national disaster, i.e., the election of Richard Nixon, was dismissed by Mr. Nixon’s campaign manager, Mr. John Mitchell, as contemptible, and we are all off to a good start. Mr. Ball has a certain literary flair and no doubt will contribute a little, acid to the general political situation, and that much is okay. But it is at the same time reasonable to ask what are Mr. Ball’s credentials for advising this country at this hour. There are those who, surveying Mr. Ball’s career, will wonder why Mr. Ball has associated himself with the authors of the crises from Mr, Nixon’s resolution of which he now seeks to save us. Take Vietnam. It is whispered about that Mr. Ball was not ever really sympathetic to our Vietnam policies, and that therefore his association with Humphrey has doveish implications. In fact, doves on the prowl for good news will be disappointed if they read Mr. Ball’s book published early this year called The Discipline of Power. In it he scorns those who believe that there are McCarthyite solutions to the war, such as coalition governments, an end to the bombing, simple cease-fires, or turning the problem over to the United Nations. The book is not a defense of our original decision to go into Vietnam, but it is most certainly a defense of Mr. Johnson’s conduct of a war we may have made the mistake of getting into.“Regrettably,” Mr. Ball concludes his analysis, “I have nothing better to offer, so that obnoxious as I find the prospect, I feel we may have no serious option but to continue the course we are presently pursuing until conditions for a settlement are more propitious. This means that we cannot bring the war to an acceptable end until we further wear down the enemy in South Vietnam, where the issue is joined and will be determined.” Now Mr. Ball rushes forward to save the world from the consequences of Presidnet Nixon’s predictable mishandling of the Vietnam war, which Mr. Ball uneasily combines with the charge that Nixon hasn’t indicated just how he would solve the Vietnam' war. So that what it comes down to is that Mr, Ball 1) defends the existing conduct of the war, which makes him a member of the most exclusive club in America; t) doesn’t know how Nixon would solve the crisis; but 3) knows that he would solve it unsatisfactorily. Why? Because
he is a Republican -- and that is about the extent of the whole thing. Mr. Ball’s background is impeccably liberal. Someone asked him a few years ago who were his best friends, and his answer is surely a classic. Let me see, er, Adlai Stevenson, Jean Monet, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Walter Lippmann. Now these gentlemen make excellent friends, but dreadful advisers, though I pause to note that friend Lippmann has come out for Nixon. Mr. Ball most eloquently tore the Soviet representative to ribbons at the UN last August after the crushing of Czechoslovakia, but it appears never to have crossed his mind that our own politics of detente, which he has enthusiastically forwarded during his years in the State Department, had the effect of encouraging the Soviet Union in lawlessness. His longtime addiction to detente made him sound almost personally affronted last August when the Soviet Union moved into Czechoslovakia. Perhaps he will be disappointed yet again if, in the future, Richard Nixon is inaugurated and administers the office of the chief executive without the advent of disaster, disasters being, alas, what mostly happen during Democratic Administrations, or so it sometimes seems, does it not? It would appear, then, to be mostly a matter of politics. Mr. Humphrey needs aggressive champions. And then too, there is that slender possibility of an upset victory. Mr. Ball publicly informed Mr. Humphrey that he should not consider Mr. Ball among prospective officials in a Humphrey Administration, thus giving the whole operation an air of idealistic detachment. Exactly two months ago, Mr. Ball was quoted in the New York Times Magazine as saying,“Nobody who has done what I have done, who has spent his whole adult life in the world of international affairs, could possibly say he wouldn’t want to be Secretary of State. I’d love it.” Pesticide Peril BERKELEY, Calif. (UPD — Could Improper and excessive use of pesticides topple a government? It’s just possible, says a University of California professor returned from a tour of Central and South American cotton growing countries. Dr. Ray P. Smith spent eight months in Latin American countries. He reported that in many areas "they are on the brink of disaster through misuse of pesticides."

A believer of nation’s dream
This is the first of a series of articles telling some of the background of Republican Presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon, from childhood on. They will help readers draw a clearer picture of the man most likely to be come the next President of the United States.
“I believe in the American dream because I have seen it come true in my own life.” The man speaking is Richard Milhous Nixon, GS-brilliant, able; a. man of consummate self-con. trol, a practicing Quaker of peaceful mien who nonetheless never ran away from a fight, according to a press secretarya fighter in the tough political arena for over 20 years. Richard Nixon, who won his first political race in 1946 and tallied up a string of unbroken victories until he lost the Presidential election by a hair (and many still insist he did not lose it at all) In 19G0. Nixon, a Representative at 33, a Senator at 37, and elected Vice-President of the United States at 39, one of the young, est men ever to hold that office. Richard Nixon distinguished himself in the House byoutstand. ing service as a member of the Committee on Un-American Activities, and went on to the Senate In 1950 with a margin of 680,000 votes-the greates Senatorial victor of the year. A personally temporate man who made his own way from grassroots beginnings of the simplest kind, Nixon showed determination andperserverance at an early age. At 14 he was working as a summer carnival “barker” in Arizona to help his hard-pressed family pad out a living. Another of his boyhood jobs was acting as a helper in his father’s gas station and general store. He once referred to it as the thing that started him out in public life. “I sold gas and delivered groceries and met a lot of people,” he later said. “I think that was invaluable as a start on a public career.” As a student at Whittier College, a samll Quaker liberal arts institution in California, and later as a scholarship student at later as a scholarship student at Duke University’s Law School Nixon was president of the student body. He graduated from Duke in the upper 10 per cent of his class. His dream in Whittier days was to play football. He was never more than a substitute, however. But the spirit of persistence and dedication to giving his all marked his performance In that sport, making up in drive what he lacked in ability. Nixon’s honesty and the fact that he could view his shortcomIngs without bitterness was evident; “I went out for football four years. . .1 never made the team, but I got a good seat on the 50yard line. 1 was not heavy enough to play the line, not fast enough to play halfback and not smart enough to play quarterback. Twenty years later, In recall, ing Nixon’s performance on the field, his old coach reminisced: “He wasn’t even an average good player, but, man, alive, he had spirit! He was a pepper box, and a terrific worWiprse.”
That same do-or-dle spirit which has characterized his life is still exhibited in Richard Nixon today. But the field is politics, not football. And this time he comes up a winner. —Mrs. Plunkett Mrs. Isole Harmon’s award came during the luncheon, and was presented by Mrs. StraudSwaim, who explained to the women how Mrs. Harmon had sponsored a Little League ball team, provided dry cleaning service for the uniforms, awarded trophies and served a bean dinner at the end of the season. Trophies were purchased from money derived from popcorn sales. In addition to those mentioned, others from Putnam County attending the convention were: D. O. Tate, Bainbridge; Mrs. Myrtle Gass, Mrs. Bernice Jones, Mrs. J. A. Bamberger and Miss Winona Welch, Greencastle; Mrs. Glenda Grindel, Mrs. Alma Miller, Mrs. Mary Noland, Mrs. Hazel Fitzsimons, Mrs. Pat Worick and Mrs. Lillie McFerran, Roachdale. Seventy-five women attended the meeting, representing 18 clubs from Putnam, Parke, Hendricks and Vermillion counties. Mrs. Claude Billings, district presi. dent, presided.
