Editorial

by DR. MARY TARZIAN Julie Nixon and David Eisenhower were married on December 22nd in a quiet ceremony at historic New York’s Marble Collegiate Church found over a hundred year’s ago. Much has been written about the parties and gaiety surrounding this romance. Relatively little has been said about the kind of people these youngsters are. Though both ARE young, they’ve shown remarkable maturity and soundness of judgment. America can be proud of them! The marriage of Julie and David unites two first families of the land. Nothing would have been more fitting than that the wedding of the daughter of the President—which the bride’s father will be after January 20th—and the grandson of a past president, who is also a beloved national hero, should be married in the White House. However, the two principals decided they wanted their wedding to be much more personal than it could possibly have been after the inauguration. The two who made this choice each are twenty years old. Those born in the highest stations in life are tempted by pomp and splendor. Those who come from more simple beginnings are even more apt to be ensnared by the Goddess of Glamour and Fame. This is true of those who are older and who should be wiser, as it is of the young. Not so Julie and David! These young people have kept their feet on the ground, maintaining a discipline and poise that has been admirable. David continued his studies while joining his prospective inlaws on weekends during the pre-election campaign. Julie also spent week days working at college and the weekends campaigning, before Miami. This past year she put all her efforts into a rigorous travel schedule for the Republican cause. As the world knows, however, she also found time and had the faith to finish the Presidential coat of arms, in crewel, for her father. Quite a girl! Despite their ages, they were aware of the political issues involved, and concerned about the importance and the great significance of the office. They are both warm, out-going and friendly. I’ve seen David,—though he’s been described as shy—turn back from walking in a line of V.I.P.S to greet an acquaintance on the sidelines he’d inadvertantly passed by. I believe that more will be heard from this young man in the future. Whether the youthful Eisenhowers choose a field in the public or private domain, it is our opinion that they will set an example that others can well follow. The fact that they selected Norman Vincent Peale to administer their vows augurs well for their marriage. Dr. Peale counsels with the engaged pair before he consents to officiate. He also asks for a letter on the anniversary telling him how things are going. If a problem develops it is to be taken up with him before any drastic steps are considered. Evidently, Julie and David had read and practiced “The Power of Positive Thinking.” But surely the parents and family had set standards, way before—that molded a very fine, upright, strong young man and a lovely, gracious and sturdy young woman. Julie and David are just naturally nice. But such qualities of naturalness and niceness must be nurtured and cared for. Many of Julie’s classmates only knew her as Julie, and from the beginning liked her for herself, because they felt she was one of them. Some, who were anti-Nixon, or who might have been reserved in approaching prominent people, when they found out that Julie was Julie Nixon, had by this time learned to like her so much, that it just didn’t make any difference. And another Smith student has said that she never heard anyone speak badly of Julie. Somehow Julie reminds me of our pioneer ancestors. She faces situations, gives herself to solving a problem in the best possible way, and deepens her resources and character as she does so. Like all of us, Julie and David will have to struggle through their weaknesses and mistakes. Above everything they are not robots. They are fun-loving, laughing, wholesome, full of life, refreshingly like a breath of pure air. They are asking for so little; it is to be hoped that they can have the privacy and personal life they seem to wish for. They have given us much simply by setting an example of modesty, simplicity, and genuineness. Yes, their feet are on the ground but they stand and walk tall with real ideals as high as the sky. Iti It is good for this nation once more to have some real ideals to look up to. This paper joins the whole country in wishing the David Eisenhower’s many, many happy years of good luck, good fortune, good health and true love.

—Apollo side and in fact skip out, then it’s a spacecraft and crew loss kind of situation,” he said prior to the mission. In this case, the spacecraft would dip briefly into the edge of the air, and then, just as a flat stone strikes the surface of a pond and leaps back into the air, “skip” back into space and orbit. Since the spacecraft separates from the service module, containing many of the life support •ystems as well as the big rocket engine that kicked them into and out orbit around the moon, they would run out of air and electricity before they orbited close enough to the earth to try coming down again. “The lower limit of the corridor is set by the high deceleration limit that the spacecraft would be subjected to if it came in too steeply . . . the decelaration would exceed 20 G’s (20 times the force of gravity),” Phillips said. “The heating rates would be in excess of those for which the spacecraft was designed, and

there would be a structural breakup and loss of the spacecraft and crew.” In the latter case the end would come quickly. The prime recovery ship, the aircraft carrier Yorktown, was on hand for an on-target splashdown and two other ships, the destroyer Cockrane and communications ship Arlington, were nearby. A mammoth cake was awaiting the pilots on the Yorktown. In a late weather report, Borman was told landing conditions would be good with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and a broken layer of clouds 6,000 feet high. The seas were running a moderate four feet high and visibility was excellent. Shopping List GLASGOW, Scotland (UPI) — Vacationers on the new cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2 will eat hearty. The shopping list for the Jan. 17 maiden voyage includes 20,000 pounds of beef, 72,000 eggs, 15 tons of potatoes and 150 pounds of caviar.

The Indiana Conference of Civil and Human Rights Legislation announced yesterday its intention to support or sponsor significant pieces of legislation in the Indiana 1969 General Assembly’s session which starts January 9, 1969. The organization, patterned after the nationally known Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, an organization founded in 1948 for the purpose of coordinating lobbying and other activities by civil rights groups wishing to speak on issues at the congressional and other national levels, was formed in 1958. Its membership is statewide in nature and includes individuals representing themselves as well as a wide variety of civil rights, church, church related, labor and civic groups. Its organizational memberships has included local and state affiliates of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Indiana Civil Liberties Union; the Indiana Council of Churches; the Unitarian Fellowship for Social Justice; numerous local and state A.F.L.-C.I.O. affiliated unions; local and state Community Relations Council; representation from several local and state related Catholic social action groups. The Indiana Conference on Legislation to establish tenant rights INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The 1969 Indiana Legislature is sure to get a new type of proposed legislation which would establish certain tenant rights in housing. Such legislation in the area of civil rights was discussed at a news conference Thursday by chairmen of thelndiana Confer, ence on Civil and Human Rights, preliminary to a statewide meeting Saturday of the organization. Willard B. Ransom is general chairman, and John Preston Ward is confer, ence chairman. Ward pointed out no final proposal has been decided pending the Saturday meeting, but a proposal to give tenants rights of various kinds when their landlords fail to make necessary improvements to dwellings or attempt eviction of complain, ing tenants is certain to be offered. “The legislatures in the past have been landlord-oriented and not renter-oriented,” Ward said. “But we feel it is not unreasonable to expect housing to be maintained at a minimum standard.”

provements to dwellings or attempt evictions of those tenants who make complaints that dwellings are in unsatisfactory condition; (2) A package of proposals designed to strengthen Indiana’s Civil Right Commission so that it can itself initiate investigations and formal complaints alleging racial and other legislatively covered discriminatory practices engaged in by employers, unions and employment agencies; (3) Proposals designed to eliminate from Indiana’s public records all references to arrests of persons when those arrests do not led to actual convictions; (4) Several proposals designed to enable Ind-iana-based public and private agencies to more readily participate in a number of federalaid programs designed to assist persons seeking various educational, health and employment opportunities not now readily available to them. The Saturday meeting features panels and workshops; and will run from 10:00 to 4:30. Willard B. Ransom, General Manager of the Madame C. J. Walker Company of Indianapolis, is the present general chairman of the organization. Panel discussions will feature Rev. William Clark, Deputy Director, C.A.A.P. and Dr. Grov-

DALLAS (UPI) — American youngsters eat less spinach than other children around the world — and it may save their lives. In a paper presented to the 135th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Barry Commoner said that nitrates in spinach has poisoned infants in Germany and France. Commoner is director of the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University. His paper said evidence of nitrogen poison has been found in drinking water, especially in Southern California. In tests conducted at some 800 water wells in Southern California, Commer found the nitrogen level in 88 to be above the limits set by the U.S. Public Health Service. The rise in the amount of

Civil and Human Rights Legislation will hold its 1968 annual meeting Saturday, December 28, at the World War Memorial Building Auditorium, 431 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis. This meeting, in addition to choosing the organizations officers for the coming two year period, will consider and take formal positions on a number of issues which are expected to be coming before the 1969 Indiana General Assembly. It is expected that among the issues which the organization will support are the following (1) Proposals designed to give tenants rights of various kinds when their landlords either refrain from making necessary im-

nitrogen found in food and water is due to the increased use of nonorganic fertilizers by farmers, said Commoner. Ni. trate fertilizers are less expen. sive than their organic counter, parts and also produce a larger crop yield. But, says Commoner, they also are poisonous and unless something is done to stop their use, the world’s peculation will suffer from an increased food supply instead of benefiting by it.

Doves migrate back to Senate WASHINGTON (UPI)-The hawks and the doves are about to migrate back to the Senate to bicker anew about the war in Vietnam. The hawks .ire still numerous and powerful in the Senate aviary but the coming session could well turn out to be the year of the dove. Neither the end of the bombing over North Vietnam nor the first feeble moves toward peace in Par's is expected to silence the debate which has dominated the Senate almost since the war began. When the United States and North Vietnam began procedur. al discussions in Paris May 13, most senators—hawk and dove — imposed a moratorium which held fairly firm until the end of the session. It did not, however, apply to re-election campaigns. Billy Graham departs from South Vietnam SAIGON (UPI) — Evangelist Billy Graham departed from South Vietnam today with a message of optimism for President-elect Richard M. Nix. on. “I am going to give him a full report on my visit,” Graham said at a pre-departure news conference. Graham indicated his report to Nixon, a personal friend, would be based on the optimism he encountered among the soldiers and American leaders of the war effort. “Everyone is hoping and praying that 1969 will be a year of peace,” he said. “I felt encouragement.” Part of this feeling was based on his meetings with U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and Gen. Creighton W. Abrams. Both displayed a “cautious optimism,” Graham said. These opinions were confirmed by the feelings he encountered in the numerous bases and hospitals he visited during his stay, the evangelist said. Man fooled by jukebox; wounds five NEW YORK (UPI)—A man strolled into the Green Rooster restaurant in Brooklyn Christ, mas morning and regaled patrons at the bar by inserting 55 cents into what he thought was the cigarette machine. It turned out to be a jukebox, and each time the man angrily repeated “I didn’t want Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer, I wanted a pack of Camels,” it sent the other patrons into fresh gales of laughter. The man walked out and returned 15 minutes later with a .38 caliber revolver, squeezed the trigger and wounded five persons, one critically. James London, 28, a truck driver, turned himself in at the Atlantic Avenue police station a short time later. He said he had shot the bar patrons, and handed the revolver to the desk sergeant. London was booked on char, ges of felonious assault and violation of the weapons law.

MR. REAGAN’S COUNTDOWN It has come to pass that the school vacations mean more to the adult community than to students inasmuch as for two serene weeks we are spared the daily accounts of chaos on the campus. Even so the respite is just that, the little truce preceding the renewal of thunder and storms. In the week or before Christmas, students at the University of Wisconsin denied lecturers the opportunity to speak on South Africa, students at New York University denied the right to speak to a minister from South Vietman and, most incredibly, to a minister from the New York Times. At Harvard students denied the faculty the right to meet in private session. And of couioG at California, the students led the country in hysteria and irrationality. At San Mateo, the Black Students Union has demanded that absolutely any Negro applying should be instantly admitted. And indeed it is in California that the countdown has begun. Because Governor Ronald Reagan announced a few days ago that the colleges would reopen and function after the holidays as normal educational institutions even if he had to ring them with police. That would appear to be drastic enough, but Governor Reagan went further. He announced explicitly what every student of the situation has known for years. It is that the student guerrillas would not have got anywhere except for the support they continue to enjoy from fellow-traveling anarchists on the faculties. To this question Governor Reagan addressed himself quite bluntly. He said that the teachers were' there to teach, not to agitate, and that if they decline to teach, they could go elsewhere. Elsewhere? Where is elsewhere? What comes after California? Nothing, thank goodness. Only the Pacific Ocean. I remember during the crisis at Columbia last spring when it became finally obvious that the students would not yield the occupied buildings unless ushered out by the police. But the report quickly spread that if the police were permitted on the premises, Professor Eric Bentley would resign from the faculty, than with a paralyzed ulty of Columbia, or a student at Columbia, I would be very very sad if Eric Bentley left the faculty, but the springs of regeneration being very deep, I could probably manage to survive and so, I expect would Columbia University. I do not doubt that in January, when Governor Reagan lays down the law, that many prominent members of the faculty will threaten to resign, and it is supremely important that the Governor and the regents and the chancellors and the stable elements of the faculty and of the student body resolve right now to let them go ahead and resign if necessary. To begin with, that is the only way to make it unlikely that they will follow through with their threat. Indeed, it is the only way to make it likely that they will fail to make

that threat. But even if they made it, and followed through on it, we are better off with a depleted faculty, than with a paralyzed university complex in which the tyranny of the minority is forever protected by eggheads who do not understand the rudiments of civility. There is the further point so widely unnoticed. It is this, that fine members of a faculty tend to start unobtrusively to slip away when the atmosphere is so changed as it has been, for instance, in Berkley. In the years since the whole mad business began, the transient rate at Berkely has increased several times beyond what it used to be. And why should that surprise us? Scholars desire the scholarly, not the revolutionary life. Why must their lives and regimen be dominated by student anarchists? So, then, Ronald Reagan has apparently scheduled a high-noon showdown, and the whole country is waiting. It would be ironic if it were he who, finally, restored order to the academy. Especially so considering the low esteem in which he is generally held by the academic community, members of which might have profited from seeing some more of those late night movies, which remind us even now that sometimes the good guys have to take the bad guys on and that the old Hays Office used to specify, in better times, that the good guys should win. Don McNeill’s Breakfast Club ends Friday CHICAGO (UPI) - “Good morning, breakfast clubbers,” comes over the radio for the last time Friday. Don McNeill will give the final salutation as “The Breakfast Club” goes off the air after 35Vz years. “It’s a matter, really, of quitting while we’re ahead,” McNeill said. The program originated June 23, 1933, as “The Pepper Pot.” McNeill said his show, 55 minutes of music, gags and banter with the audienceincluding a daily march around the breakfast table—does not meet modern tastes. The public now prefers a music and disc jockey radio format, while personality programs are more of a staple of television. Those who have appeared as regulars on the program include Fran Allison, Peggy Lee, Patti Page, Johnny Desmond, John Gary, Anita Bryant and bandleader Eddie Ballantine. The program has been taped from the Allerton Hotel since 1963 and is the last regularly scheduled network radio program broadcast from Chicago.
