TODAY’S EDITORIAL (Here is the viewpoint of W. Clement Stone, editor and publisher of SUCCESS magazine and the a; is war he has for the question, Why Nixon?) THREE WEEKS BEFORE the Honorable Herbert Hoover passed away, he called Richard Nixon to his apartment in the Waldorf Towers in New York City. “I have a personal favor to ask of you,” he said. Nixon listened as “The Chief” continued: “I want you to accept the Chairmanship of the Board of Directors of the Boys’ Clubs of America ( a position which Herbert Hoover held for 28 years) if elected.” Nixon was elected. He has served with outstanding effectiveness from 1964 until he took a leave of absence to become a candidate for the Presidential nomination. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Boys’ Clubs of America, I have had an opportunity to study Richard Nixon closely. He has developed an amazing amount of emotional maturity ... he is a man of character and integrity ... he doesn’t make promises that he knows he cannot fulfill and he does fulfill his promises ... he seeks the advice of others, analyzes it and then comes up with good common sense solutions. . . he is a man of action ... a man who gets things done! I know from experience. Richard Nixon is the only presidential candidate who actively heaued an organization that works every day with youth nationally and . . . with the disadvantaged in the inner cities. Many of his solutions to the national problems of youth and the disadvantaged employ exactly the dame principles which I, as President of the Chicago Boys’ Clubs, and other Chicago Boys’ Clubs’ workers have so successfully used in: giving hope to the hopeless . . . motivating and training the impoverished to free themselves from economic slavery. . . teaching how to become good parents. . . motivating boys who have had trouble with the police to become decent, fine citizens. . . helping students to become good scholars and . . . developing selfrespect and respect for the personal and property rights of others. The methods used to specifically help persons to help themselves through developing the right mental attitudes will svae billions of tax dollars while benefiting the persons involved. . . when Nixon is elected. Richard Nixon is the most qualified candidate. He has developed an amazing amount of accurate foresight through clear thinking. Thus, he is the one candidate who is thinking and speaking in terms of prevention of future foreign and domestic difficulties as well as intelligently solving our present serious national and international problems. He has proved, again and again, that he can turntemporary defeats into real victories! SUCCESS unlimited magazine endorses Richard Nixon for President of the United States of America.

Bayh,Hartke will speak at Wabash meeting

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPI)— A public hearing on a proposed 750-mile canal-river waterway through Indiana was scheduled here tonight by the Army Corps of Engineers. The project, known as the Cross Wabash Valley Waterway, was proposed by the Wabash Valley Association as a means of contributing to an improvement of the economy of the Wabash Valley. Sen. Birch Bayh and Sen. Vance Hartke will be among the speakers, according to association executive vice president Howard Mendenhall, Mount Carmel, 111. The hearing was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Tirey Memorial Union at Indiana State University. “We are hoping for a turnout of from 400 to 500 people,” Mendenhall said. He described the waterway as the “missing link” in the nation’s water system. It would involve construction of canals and use of rivers,

mainly the Wabash in Indiana. The project would begin at Toledo on Lake Erie, run southwestward through Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Terre Haute and Evansville to the Ohio River. One leg would veer off into Illinois north of Terre Haute and connect with the Illinois Waterway to Chicago, and another leg would run north from Lafayette-Logansport area to the Calumet ports on Lake Michigan in Indiana. Petitions have been circulated in areas considered likely to benefit from such a waterway, urging early completion of a study analyzing the feasibility of the project. The Marion Chronicle-Tribune in an editorial Monday admitted such a project probably would help the valley’s economy, but said it “might be difficult” for the benefits to exceed the costs and it “would be hard to prove it is necessary.”

Hanoi leaders are worried

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

Here is a tale of one of those incidental acts of bureaucratic thoughtlessness which are the hallmark of big government, against which we are all apparently powerless. Listen: Mrs. Gonzalez, (we shall call her) old and tired, and her daughter, live in Cuba. The son, Ramon, got off to the United States before the gates were closed, and took a job on an assembly line, where he earns $2.25 per hour. He greatly desires, to bring his mother and unmarried daughter here, to relieve them of the misery of life under Castro. But Castro, although he has publicly proclaimed that any Cuban who wants to leave the country may certainly do so and good riddance, has thought up a singularly sadistic form of torture, the effect of which is to discourage refugees from his totalitarianism. There are regular flights to Spain—let them buy a ticket on one of those flights and go to Spain, he says. Now, inasmuch as the objective is to reach the United States, which is a 15-minute flight from Havana, the prospect of having to fly to Madrid, and then back to the United States, eliminates most people. But there are those who have relatives in the United States and they can, by enormous sacrifice, accumulate the approximately $500 necessary for the passage. At this point, there is the problem of how to send down that $500, because the United States does not permit any flow of funds into Cuba. You have to know

somebody in Canada, and tranship the money through there. So Ramon Gonzalez found a friend who would advance him the money and get it to Cuba where the Gonzalez’s finally picked it up, arriving in Madrid late in March. And that is where the U.S. Government comes in: the Gonzalez’s need visas. After approximately three months, a visa is granted to Miss Gonzalez, but her mother is denied one on the grounds of health. Now all she has to do, says the American Embassy, is apply for a waiver of that health disqualification, which, of course, must be processed by the Par is office (where else?). All of these burdens are passed along by tortured airmail to Ramon, who ultimately learns that the medical reason for keeping Mrs. Gonzalez out of the United States is- “senility.” And, of course, there is no cure for senility; on the other hand, senility is not contagious, and one would think that some great big thoughtful official in Europe could figure this out all by himself, and grant the waiver. The application for waiver is dutifully submitted and a month goes by. Nothing. FLASH! Influence. A friend calls a friend who knows Robert Wagner, our ambassador to Madrid, would he, etc. etc. Of course, etc. etc. Weeks go by, then somebody from the State Department in Washington phones in to say don’t worry about Mrs. Gonzalez, the eyes of Washington are upon Continued on Page 5

Market weak NEW YORK (UPI)—Shearson, Hammill & Co. says there seems to be no justification for a bearish investment policy at this time in view of the “everpresent possibility” of a constructive development toward peace in Vietnam among other factors. The analyst adds that near term weakness in the general market should be regarded as a buying opportunity so far as many issues are concerned.

By K. C THALER LONDON (UPI)—Hanoi leaders are deeply worried they may have seriously miscalculated U.S. replies to their demands for an unconditional halt in the bombing of North Vietnam, diplomatic sources said today. The sources said there are signs of restlessness in Ho Chi Minh’s military and political leadership because developments have taken an unexpected turn at the Paris talks to cool down the war for full peace talks. Le Due Tho, Hanoi’s chief link with its negotiators, left Paris early this week for the North Vietnamese capital and a meeting to reassess the Communist bargaining position. Hanoi evidently had anticipated a major American gesture on the eve of the U.S. presidential elections. The Communist regime was said to have been virtually convinced President Johnson would declare a bombing halt of North Vietnam several weeks before the election. Change Thinking The Communists realize this is now not likely to happen. Diplomatic sources indicated a major “re-thinking” of policy and strategy, both in the field and at the Paris conference table, may result from this development. So convinced was Hanoi of a major American backdown, on a unilateral basis without any North Vietnamese reciprocal gesture, they decided not to move an inch at the Paris talks. Hanoi apparently was motivated also by the assumption public opinion in America and the rest of the world would force Washington to make the concession the Communists awaited and that Johnson would, moreover, have to move also for domestic electioneering purposes. Fear Election Results Hanoi was said to be uneasy

that the U.S. presidential elections results may change drastically the whole Vietnam picture the Communists had so confidently drawn. The Communists furthermore were uneasy lest the new administration takes some time before it decides on its Vietnam course, the sources said. Another unexpected factor in these developments has been the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, which has weakened world public pressure on the United States and undermined the much-worked argument that Washington stands for aggres90th Congress saves more, spends more By FRANK ELEAZER WASHINGTON (UPI) — The 90th Congress appropriated more money than any in history. And Rep. George Mahon, D-Tex., its chief money man, warns government spending may continue to rise. Writing in a final issue of the Congressional Record, Mahon noted that in its two sessions the Congress, paradoxically, also saved more than any Congress before it. He said its greatest accomplishment was that it acted to control inflation, repulse the attack on the dollar, and move once again toward a balanced federal budget. “Even in spite of the war, which is costing (yearly) some $28 billion, plus,” Mahon said, “as a result of the actions of this Congress, the estimated deficit for the current fiscal year 1969 now looks to be in the range of $5 billion to $7 billion.”

sion and the Communists led by Moscow, for peace and compromise, the sources indicated. The Soviets have, in eilect, quietly dropped their previous stance that any advance towards rapprochement with the United States through serious concrete agreements must be linked to American moves to end the Vietnam War.
