Citizen-Politicians IT’OR MANY YEARS Americans have dismissed pol- * itics as something reserved for politicians. If there is only one thing to which America’s various contemporary ills can be traced, it is this prevalent attitude. Too many people give only passing attention or none at all to the affairs of their city, state and nation. People often say they don’t have the time or can’t afford to become involved in politics. Yet in an infinite number of ways their daily lives are influenced by political decisions. Under these circumstances, can anyone afford not to take politics seriously? This question is asked repeatedly by Arthur H. Motley, publisher of Parade Magazine, who speaks to audiences around the country about a citizen’s stake in politics. Recently he told a group of businessmen : “Each of qs shares a common partner—government. If you run a corporation, you have Uncle Sam for a majority stockholder; he takes up to half of your corporate earnings. Even as an individual you and your family have Uncle Sam as a member of the family; and he takes up to 70 per cent on a portion of some incomes as his share of yearly earnings. The result is that you can’t make a single, worthwhile business decision in America today without taking federal tax demands into account. “With about a quarter of the national product going for government alone,” Motley continues, “it’s academic to talk about whether or not you should participate politically in affairs of this country . . . After all, you are very careful who you employ and who you put on your board of directors. They are interviewed, screened, and double-checked before you employ them. Why shouldn’t you be equally careful of those whom you select to represent you politically?” In America, unlike most countries in the world, the people have direct access to the political processes. They can make of their country what they will. In a democracy such as this, the quality of the government is a mirror of the people. Americans can give new meaning to representative democracy by becoming active in politics. Judging from the numerous ways government has come to influence our lives, we can no longer afford not to become citizenpoliticians^ Student teacher writes essay on education EDITOR'S NOTE: The following essay was written by Velvet Ann Clark, a senior education student at Indiana State University for a P.T.A. scholarship which was awarded to Miss Clark the last two years. “The Right Start for All” Each year thousands of student teachers embark on a journey somewhere in the field of teaching. Whether it be working with the young nursery school child or educating the more advanced student, each individual has a specific reason for choosing the area he teaches. After I was graduated from Fillmore High School three years ago, the profession of teaching looked inviting and challenging to me. Thus, I began my college education at Indiana State University with the thought of dedicating myself to educating youth. At college working with othen future teachers and with young children stimulated my interest in actual teaching. One half of my student teaching now has concluded at Ridpath Elementary School, and one half of the joy, sadness, thrill, distress, and challenge has ended. I have discovered that each child is truly an individual and deserves to be given the best the school can offer. Most of the parents are concerned about their child, too; and this has given me a new insight into the private lives of the children. Do you care about your child and his school? Have you visited his class to observe the learning? Have you had a conference with the teacher about the child’s progress? As a future teacher, I would encourage each parent and guardian to think about these above questions. The Greencastle School System is a wonderful educational system and one that each citizen should be proud to support. Please remember that a child’s success may depend on the cooperative attitudes of the child, his parents, and his teachers. We must strive today to better our citizens of tomorrow.

TAKE OVER BY USSR

Okinawa election creates problems for Sato, U.S.

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Choice of a socialist to become Okinawa’s first popularly elected chief executive creates a problem for Japanese Premier Eisaku Sato and a potential headache for the United States. First Lady to take 4-day tour By HELEN THOMAS WASHINGTON (UPI) - Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson will take a four-day, 6,000 mile excursion to New Orleans, Cape Kennedy, Denver and northern California Nov. 22-25 in a final swing as a traveling First Lady. Her journey, labeled “This Is Our Country,” will spotlight advances in education, the arts, space, health, urban renewal and conservation — programs promoted by President Johnson. The crosscountry trip, which will include several foreign journalists in the traveling party, begins with a visit to an oath-taking ceremony for new American citizens in Washington. Then she will fly to New Orleans with members of the National Council on the Arts to attend an opening of a repertory theater, a project partially financed by the council. She also will visit Xavier University for a firsthand look at its educational programs, including the teacher corps. At Cape Kennedy, Mrs. Johnson will be personally briefed on the moon voyage, given a go-ahead by the space agency Tuesday, to take place around Christmas time. She will tour the launch area and meet the astronauts. In Denver, she will dedicate a new neighborhood health center, visit a second center and attend a premiere of the antipoverty agency’s movie “Not As A Privilege.” In California, Mrs. Johnson will dedicate the Redwood National Park, the nation’s newest national park near Eureka, Calif., and embark on an exploratory tour of the forest areas on the Pacific Coast where wildlife includes herds of elk and frolicking sea lions. In the past five years as First Lady, she has taken some 40 trips, covering more than 100,000 miles across the country and visiting some 125'cities and towns.

Chobyo Yara, 65, who ran with the backing of the Japanese Socialist and Commu. nist parties, campaigned on a platform of “immediate and unconditional” return of that major U.S. Pacific bastion to Japan. He won over Junji Nishime, whom Sato’s Liberal Democratic party had backed with both effort and money. For Sato the problem was two-fold; His party had staked much of its prestige on a victory by Nishime, a conservative, who had campaigned on a basis of eventual return of Okinawa to Japan, a reduction of U.S. military facilities on the island and ultimate removal of atomic weapons. His program closely paralleled that of Sato whose policy is to achieve Okinawa’s return through maintenance of close relations and mutual trust between Japan and the United States. The United States has recog.

nized Japan’s residual sovereignty over Okinawa and other islands of the Ryukyus but has said it cannot give up its bases there so long as the threat of Communist aggression con. tinues. Leftwing street demonstrations in both Japan and Okinawa have demanded immediate return of the islands. Yara’s victory could be expected to intensify these demands. Sato also is involved in a three-day fight for partyleadership, and, hence, his job of premier, to cover the next two years. It is to be settled later this month. Along with his policy of close cooperation with the United States, Sato also is working for a renewal of the U.S.-Japan security pact in 1970. The pact is opposed by both the Japanese Socialists and the Communists. Sato’s supporters fear Yara’s victory not only may effect Sato’s chances for continuing as party leader but also the future of the security pact.

Party is here to stay

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The American Independent Party, whose presidential candidate, George C. Wallace, received nearly one-quarter of a million votes in the Indiana election last week, announced today it will contest all 11 congressional seats in 1970. Fred V. Culp, Middletown, who announced formation of the party in Indiana on a permanent basis and plans fpr 1970 elections, also said his group backed Gov.-elect Edgar D. Whitcomb in four populous counties as a “test of strength of the negative vote” for Wallace. Wallace’s organization here, which more or less ignored Culp’s group during the campaign, insisted before the Nov.5 election that it was not endorsing any other candidates for other offices. However, spokesmen for Culp said the word went out in the last eight days of the campaign in St. Joseph, Lake, Vigo and

Vanderburgh Counties that Whitcomb was preferable to Democratic Lt. Gov. Robert L. Rock. Asked if this meant Whitcomb was endorsed, a spokesman said it was “a matter of semantics.” He said the party “lent its efforts in behalf of Whitcomb, with the result that there was a crucial cutback in the regular Democratic majority” in the four counties. Culp made it clear that Whit, comb did not solicit the American Independents for support. He said the party will “contest every congressional sat in the 11 districts in the 1970 off-year elections.

Expects full cooperation from Congress By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI White House Reporter NEW YORK (UPI)—The administration of President-elect Richard M. Nixon, now under construction at his New York headquarters, expects the Democratic Congress to play ball with the White House next year on major issues involving national interest. This hopeful attitude was expressed by Bryce N. Harlow after his announced appointment Tuesday as the first of several White House officials in the new administration who will carry the title of “assistant to the president.” Harlow, 52, a native of Oklahoma City, will be “manager of legislative and congressional affairs” for the president, a post much like the legislative liaison job held by Lawrence F. O’Brien during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations before he moved up to postmaster general. Experience for Job For six of the eight Eisenhower years at the White House, the soft-spoken Harlow, a Phi Beta Kappa scholar at the University of Oklahoma, knew what it was for a Republican administration to deal with a Democratic Congress. Eisenhower had two personal friends who occupied powerful Democratic leadership positions on Capitol Hill—the late Speaker Sam Rayburn and the thenSenate Majority Leader, Lyndon B. Johnson. They frequently helped clear the way for Eisenhower legislative recommendations. Nixon has no comparable personal tie with the current Democratic leadership in Congress and Harlow may find his liaison chores more difficult than they were in the 1950s. Asked how he thought Nixon would fare with an opposition Congress, however, Harlow told reporters: “I do not anticipate extreme difficulty for the president in that regard, here will be some areas of difficulty, of course, but in your great areas, both parties, regardless of their partisan differences, are involved with the national interests and they have to perform willy-nilly—and I think they will.” Note Current Cooperation Nixon will have something other than Harlow’s experience to help with his congressional relations. The Republicans hope the lesson is not being lost on Democratic Hill leaders that Nixon is cooperating openly and extensively with President Johnson on foreign policy, particu. larly Vietnam negotiations, during the transition period, As the Nixon staff emerged— Harlow’s was the second appointment; the first was Rose Mary Woods as Nixon’s personal secretary—a pattern seemed clear. The chain of command will be directly from Nixon to the Cabinet and a small number of “assistants to the president,” under whom will be a larger number of special assistants.

JIM BISHOP: Reporter

The letter was terse. “Been expecting to hear from you since I wrote asking if you would check on the sweater you sent. In the meantime, I wrote the P.O. in Saranac and am enclosing reply from postmaster...” It was from Frankie Hyers. He was a comedian’s comedian, a big guy with melting features who worked the Club Eighteen when the laughs came easy and the money and booze and women made of life an eternal triumph. It’s the Pagliacci syndrome. No comic can be funny if he sees the heartache on the other side of the hill. He is under a per. petual illusion that he will always be funny, that the explosion of laughter emerging from millions of throats is his personal copyright. Hyers had the good sense to write 1086 BroadStreet,Newark, N.J., on the envelope. Another sweater will go there, because Broad and Market Street is wide open when the whistling winds of January tear across the meadows to mirror the ice. Frankie Hyers laughed uproariously through the decades and he thought nothing of sending a “C” to the bandleader to play one more chorus of Ain’t Misbehavin’. A dangerous illness hit him. He was sent to Saranac, where the blankets match the snow. In the darkness after lights out, he could see the thousands of faces contorted in guffaws, but he couldn’t hear them in the deadly silence. He might have sat up in bed and roared: “I was a very funny man,” but fame died too, and visitors passed his bed by day who never saw him .- never heard of him. The ability to entertain is first psychological, then pathological. You have it for a time, and then it leaves you. Jack Benny doesn’t need the money, but he works the couch shows for scale, the stories coming off his suit like lint, the audience waiting for him to lift his brows to say“Well!” Joe E. Lewis, the most sophisticated, had a slight stroke and he doesn’t like to work because he feels that he is less of a man than he was. Milton Berle stages comebacks. Red Skelton plays out the skein working harder and harder to stand still. Stan Laurel could squeeze tears from his eyes and squeaks of fright from his throat. He made millions laugh, but he died in the arms of his wife, the last of his disciples. Lou Costello was still playing the dumb ox when

First Things First LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Two big red fire trucks pulled up in front of the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange and helmeted firemen dashed to the trading floor where someone had dropped a cigarette on a stack of papers. One of the first to reach the blaze, carrying a fire extinguisher, dashed up to the first broker and asked, "How’s Monogram doing today?”

he forgot to rewind his ticker. His partner, Bud Abbott, lived in poverty watching himself perform on other people’s television sets. The genius, Charlie Chaplin, became embittered and took himself and his money from the country which made him famous. Of them all, Bert Lahr alone knew the dark side of the hill before he reached it. He was delighted to do a one-minute commercial, chewing a potato chip as millions grinned. W.C. Fields could be funny on a billboard, but he died drinking, choking on his contempt for the world. Bob Hope has a million dollar delivery system for good writers. Henny Youngman throws a thousand one-liners at a buck a toss. Frank Fay died waiting in The Lambs to be recognized. Joe E. Brown opened his mouth like a suitcase all his life. It was all he had. George Burns couldn’t draw Grade Allen out of retirement, so he adjuster! his cigar and hair piece and croaks jokes. Smith and Dale did Doctor Kronkite for forty years of laughs. Ironically, the same act remained funny until Joe Smith died. Jay C. Flippen -oh, you don’t remember him? Jay was the bit cop in fifty movies. The man with the hard-boiled eyes, Jerry Colonna, couldn’t make it without his sponsor, Bob Hope. Fibber McGee and Molly left the scene with a full closet on their hands. Ben Blue still works the lounges at Vegas, but the losers seldom laugh. Joe Penner - I know, he’s before your time. Joe Frisco parlayed a stutter and a case of scotch into a rosary of embittered laughs. He was outsmarted by horses. The Ritz Brothers were funny until they became fearful. The Marx Brothers broke up like in-laws at an all night poker party. In time, all jesters court tears. Money isn’t funny and it connot replace the full-throated roar of appreciation. “I’m terribly sorry if you failed to insure it and please don’t go to the expense of another sweater. I am working at the Newark Airport and feel A. OK. Frankie.” A riot, that Frankie Hyers. . .
