S. taxpayers $2.5 billions. This is President Kennedy's master plan for helping our Latin American "friends" lift themselves up by their bootstraps. The Kennedy plan envisioned an outlay of $10 bilHon over a decade, but in the first two years alone a quarter of that sum has been expended. Yet it is difficult to note any substantial measure of success in containing the spread of Red revolution to the south of the U.

S. Alliance for Progress largess, like U.S. foreign aid, should be recognized for what it actually is a facet of our foreign policy which our State Department believes can buy the backing of Western Hemisphere nations in the U. S. fight against Castro and Russian communism.

In a. second anniversary statement, Mr. Kennedy expressed himself AS heartened by the advances that have been made in a short space of time," but he cautioned that much more needs to be done. Juscelino Kubitschek, former president of Brazil, the largest receiver of U. S.

aid, getting $358 million in the two years the plan has been in operation, assesses the program differently. He complains that the alliance suffers from "uncoordinated and confused implementation" and is "drifting farther away from the needs and aspirations of the Latin American people." There can be no denying that the record of self-help and reform on the part of the OAS countries the U. S. has flooded with its millions is spotty, and in a number of instances discouraging, if not dismaying. Self-help and reforms constitute the keystone of the alliance.

Only six of the signatory nations have come up with programs to improve conditions of abject poverty, ignorance and malnutrition in the midst of abundant natural resources. The majority of beneficiaries of U. S. help have been either unable or unwilling to do their share. When the Alliance for Progress was established in August, 1961, there were 20 signatories from the Organization of American States giving what has since proven in the large to have been mere lip service to President Kennedy's view that the pact was the "framework of goals and conditions for what has been termed 'a peaceful revolution on a hemispheric Words Of Warning The nation's foremost expert in nuclear warfare recently gave Americans some chilling words of warning.

They are appropriate for all, especially those who would gamble our security in the hope of attaining "peaceful coexistence" with a power whose avowed goal is world conquest. Dr. Edward Teller, addressing some 100 House members at a Washington meeting recently, said the Soviet Union today is ahead of the U. S. in the field of nuclear explosives.

The Soviets, he added, may be the first to develop an effective defense against missiles, thanks to their recent series of tests in direct violation of a test ban agreement. Continued testing, said Dr. Teller, is necessary to develop a missile defense, which has now become the most important object of nuclear research for both East and West. But, cautioned the physicist, such tests do not have to be of big bombs. Although there are ways of detecting large bombs, he said, it is virtually impossible to detect explosions with a blast force of less than 1,000 tons of TNT.

If the Soviet Union develops an effective missile defense, continued Teller, "we may be only a few years away from total destruction." Americans should need no further reminder of the urgent necessity for keeping pace in nuclear research and for obtaining adequate inspection guarantees in any nuclear test ban treaty. Caribbean Gap Patrol of the islands around Cuba is woefully inadequate. Lack of direct communication the other day enabled Castro's gunboats to violate British territory in seizing Cuban refugees stranded on a cay in the Bahamas. U.S. planes remained outside British territorial limits while Castro's militiamen, showing no such regard for international law, swooped down on the refugees.

If Alphonse continues to wait on Gaston, Castro- ite lawlessness can have a field day. Britain understandably wants to avoid military involvement. But the risk will be lessened, not increased, if the gaps in the cordon around Cuba are eliminated. Only then can Castro be warned that the United States and Britain, working as a team, intend to preserve international law and that hii wking for troublt.

The Penna. Story Says Session Will Be Noted For Omissions By Maaon Denlson (ED NOTE: Columnist Mason Denimn has asked the Governor and the two floor leaders of the House of Representatives and (he two floor leaders of the Senate to give their reaction to the recently ended 1963 legislative session, using the theme: "The 1963 Session Plus or Minus" MWD) By Anthony J. Petrosky Democratic Floor Leader House of Representatives JTARRISBURG The recently terminated session of the General Assembly was disappointing as regards consideration for the welfare of the people of Pennsylvania. We all know the present Administration and Republican majority of the Senate and House committed themselves in this direction at the time they were candidates for office. It is evident they wore a different type hat as elected officials, for the record clearly indicates that the session was dominated by the Big Business Lobby.

The public record further shows that the consumer public was I could evaluate the Majority party's actions as power politics, vacillation and the fragile leadership of an ambitious Governor. Since this may sound partisan would prefer that the people make their decision as. to the values of this legislative session after they analyze the final actions. In this limited space I will point out a few salient facts to justify my statement. We witnessed multi million- dollar handouts to the vested interests through passage of Senate and House bills; while under the guise of "Taxes for Education," over 150 million dollars of new revenue was enacted into law by Governor Scranton's 5 per cent general sales tax together with other consumer taxes.

The Governor's questionable heroic efforts for education show that actually less than 30 million dollars will be so expended. Every effort of the Democratic members to further liberalize and advance the cause of education was beaten down by the Majority party. On the question of providing a quality education for all our youngsters, we experienced a lack of courage and fortitude by the Republican leadership to effect a sound program. The civil service proposal that was passed is a sham and a fraud on the public, especially to the organizations supporting a bill that would retain government personnel dedicated to the public service. I would also ask that people note the callous regard of this administration for the wishes of the citizens for strong anthracite strip mining controls.

The House had written by amendment a fair and equitable formula into the anthracite proposal. Evidence of the Majority party's lack of concern was pointed up like a sore thumb when they loaded the Senate and House conference committees to the end result that the bill was emasculated. There was also the unwarranted delay in senatorial and legislative rcapportionment as mandated by the. constitution. Continuous political haggling by Republican spokesmen on patronage and commission appointments utilized time and effort that could have been put to good use on the consideration of worthwhile projects.

Many proposals that could have helped Pennsylvania to move forward were buried without hearing through the arbitrary action of committee chairmen. Finally, the session will be bel- ter known for its omissions rather than acts of commission. In concluding, I submit, and the public record will show, that Democratic members promoted firm, positive and constructive thinking in the legislative field. I commend to ail interested persons the reading of the Senate and House Journals for an honest appraisal of the 1963 Session of the General Assembly. Page 4 Lebanon Daily News, Lebanon, Pa.

Tugidiy, August 27, 1963 EUPHORIA? WHAT'S THIS EUPHORIA?

John Chamberlain Yes, Virginia, There Is An Establishment A NYONE who writes a column gets letters from people who are convinced that the government of the United States and the world, for that matter is in the hands of conspirators.

The litany Is familiar: there is, supposedly, a group of One Worlders, bent on subjugating the tf.S. to a UN that will 1 be subservient, in its turn to the Communist nations. The One Worlders are pictured as dominating the centers of power in both major U.S. political parties. They don't care who wins an election If it is a Roosevelt versus a Willkie, or an Eisenhower versus a Stevenson.

But if an independent man like the late Robert Taft looms as a likely Presidential nominee, the forces of the "conspiracy" move into action at onco to circumvent his success. In 'its bald "conspiracy theory" won't wash: things don't happen because there is a mysterious High Command that pulls the strings to get a foreordained result. However, there is a more sophisticated theory that the American political system is dominated, not by a crude conspiracy, but by something called the Establishment, a sort of high level, honorable Mafia that reacts in knee jerk fashion to keep things as they are for the benefit of those who have held positions of power and influence for a -long time. The Establishment, according to this theory, doesn't want to hand the worl'd over to the UN or to the Communists but it believes in accommodation with the Communists through the UN. It just doesn't want to push issues, whether they affect the domestic economy or international politics, to show-downs.

And it maintains itself, not by conspiratorial subversion, but by appealing to the Milquetoast that is in every contented or semi-contented fam- iiy. Well, what about this Establish- ment? Is it a reality? When a "liberal" commentator, Richard Rovere, in a semi-serious, semi- mocking article, identified the members of the Establishment, he was careful to cover his flank by THREE MINUTES A DAY By James Keller A bushel basket stuffed with $25,000 was the constant companion of a 54-year-old oyster fisherman for two weeks before he died. Natives of Broomes Island, where the man lived in a one-room shanty, told officials that he had once lost $900 in a bank failure. Ever since then he had "put the proceeds of his day's fishing into a pocket, which he carefully sewed up when it was full. For the last two weeks of his life, the fearful man carried his money in the bushel basket wherever he went.

When officials boarded his drifting boat, they found the small fortune next to its dead After losing hard-earned savings, it is understandable that a person would be extra cautious. But extremes should also be avoided. God wishes each of us to be our own master under all circumstances. To be possesed by one's possessions to such an extent that they dominate us instead of serving our best interests is to hurt ourselves. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither rust nor moth consumes." (Matthew 6:20) Grant, Holy Spirit, that I may put money to good use, not let it use me.

indicating that he might be spoofing. William F. Buckley, the editor of the conservative fortnightly "National Review," who can identify the members of the Establish. ment for anyone who will send him a self addressed postcard with a stamp, thinks Rovere was spoofing when he implied that he was spoofing. The Establishment, according to Buckley and-or Rovere, includes Eastern bankers, the presidents of great universities, the editors of bhe Washington Post and the New York Times, most economists on the Harvard faculty, and three out of five big figures in Wall Street.

Their influence supposedly moves, by the mysterious ways of money, into, both of the big political organizations to make all important candidates "safe." And the "liberal" hierarchy. among the writers 5s depicted as spreading incense as the Establishment's charades are acted out. Discounting Rovere, however, no Establishment man has ever clearly admitted that there is any such thing as the Establishment. Or, rather, nobody ever admitted it before this month of August in 1963. The first clean-cut, fourteen- karat, Cadillac powered admission by a presumed Establishment journalist that there is such a thing as an Establishment appears, rather in an article in the Saturday Evening Post for the week of August 24.

The man who makes the admission is Stewart Alsop, and he does it in a column of commentary that is appended to his article on, Barry Goldwater's Presidential chances for 1964. Stewart Alsop thinks Goldwater has a chance of getting the Republican nomination if the public opinion polls, come next June, show that Kennedy will be a clear winner in November anyway. In other words, certain people in the Republican Party who have a (Continued on Fife Keren) FRONTIER TOWN Editor, Daily NEWS: ACHEW! Otherwise known as the Association for Cutting Harmful Exposed We, the national and miserable members of the ACHEW, Hayfev- er Society, wish to extend our grateful and sincere appreciation and to the Lebanon Department of Safety and Health for their relentless efforts to keep pur community looking like a frontier. This, of course, has mucii historical value and will attract many tourists and settlers, that is, if they can find their way into our fair city through the mare of ragweed and other beautiful wild flora. At least the officials seem to keep themselves hidden quite well in the bush as their activities along this line are nil, and their preservation of the natural beauty of weeds almost fanatical.

Of course the beauty of Lebanon lies in its vacant lots of knee-high weeds (some places even more beautiful where it is waist-high), The owners of lots gloat over the fact of their enrichment and contribution to the beauty of our city in this manner and even the railroads go out of their way in doing their utmost in preserving the natural beauty of their tracks so that the people cannot see the ugly trains as they pass through town which are hidden by the growth. Putting the notices in bhe newspaper that the weeds should he cut down should be outlawed and punishable by a heavy fine. Some of the land-owners may be able to read and heed these notices, although the majority seem to be illiterate according to the results. We congratulate those, however, who can read for defying these notices and for our city officials who back them up. How else could we, ACHEW (gesundheit), enjoy our six weeks or more of miserable ecstacy were it not for these faithful friends? We know of no other way to thank them; except to say that would gladly change places with" them.

We would also like to add some friendly advice to the hosts and guests at the prison that'if they should wander away from the premises not to stray to the empty around the Lebanon Daily News, Quentin Road, or they might get lost and never be found. We, ACHEW, resent the fact that people have the pleasure and privilege of contributing $1.00 for not being able to read a parking meter, and $2.00 when (he streets are cleaned, because they know some underprivileged character will benefit from this; yet these others who are bent on preserving our frontier are denied this patriotic gesture. We plead that they be given the same opportunity and the contributions be given to the ACHEW Society so that they can use it' for research and medical self indulgence, to make their season that they never forget from one season to another. i ACHEW AMBASSADOR CANT SPEAK LANGUAGE? Daily one who has, also been working with the student ambassador program in this area, it seems only fair that I add a few postscripts to the letter by Fred Goudy, of the Palmyra J.C.'s, used in' your Public Forum of Saturday, Aug. 24.

It is unfortunate that Mr. Goudy should have made a public issue of the interview with the Brazilian boy as published in the Lebanon Daily News. Now, in defense of the fine qualifications of all our other student ambassadors and of the program in general, it becomes necessary for us to call attention to certain pertinent facts regarding the Brazilian lad. As Mr. Goudy admitted, the Brazilian boy had studied only two months of English and was very ill-at-ease due to his lack of ability to 'speak or understand the English language.

We must point out that many of our other young ambassadors are virtual masters of English, so that this case is not at all typical. We do realize that any "ambassador" to a foreign land, young or old, is expected to be able to communicate in the language of that In County, State And Nation Fulton Lewis, Jr. pITLE II of Kennedy's Civil Rights bill would give the Federal Government the power to tell owners of private businesses whom they must serve and-or sell to. Article Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution provides that Congress shall have the right "to regulate commerce among the several States Deliberately twisting this clause, Title II asks that Congress give the Federal Government the power to regulate and control any and all businesses which could be considered to be in interstate commerce. Under this broad classification, according to Title II, would be "hotels, motels, motion picture houses, theaters, sports arenas, any retail establishment, department store, market, drug store, gasoline station, lunchroom, lunch counter, soda fountain," etc.

The Civil Rights promoters claim that such arbitrary control over private property comes "within the ambit of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution." However, Justice John M. -Harlan, disagreeing with a majority decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, in discussing the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to private property rights, stated: "An individual's right to restrict the use of his property beyond the 'realm of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Freedom of the individual to choose his associates or his neighbors; to use dispose of his property as he sees fit are things all entitled to a large measure of protection from government interference." Further reading of the Fourteenth Amendment reveals the stipulation that no person shall be deprived of "life, liberty or property without due process of law." The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution provides: nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." Inasmuch as such Federal control as envisaged in Title II of the Civil Rights omnibus bill would deprive property owners of the right to manage and utilize their property as they see fit, they would, to all intents and purposes, be "deprived" of their property. Also, inasmuch the Federal Government would be "taking for public use" said property without purchasing same from the owner for "just compensation," the provisions of' Title: II are patently unconstitutional; Heston To Help Lead March On Washington What's Right-What's Wrong ACTORS Marlon Brando and Charlton Heston will help lead the March on Washington tomor- At least one Negro leader is skeptical of their "commitment" 5 to fight for civil -v, rights.

He Iclaims both HESTON Brando and Heston refused to cooperate with the HRRB, a little-publicized organization that works quietly to push Negro employment in the film capital. Peterson has criticized attacks by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Hollywood producers. "The NAACP," he told the Los Angeles Herald Examiner recently "believes that Hollywood still portrays the Negro in a menial, stereotyped role." Actuary, Peterson said, Negroes had excellent roles depicting the Negro as he is today in 80 television and motion picture productions last year. Eighteen years ago, Peterson relates, the NAACP attacked Hollywood for portraying the Negro as an "Uncle Tom." At that time, Peterson says, Negro employment in the film industry was at an all- time high. After that, use of Negroes in Hollywood productions fell off sharply.

"Producers who had minor or ordinary Negro roles would knock them out because they were afraid of possible pressure from the NAACP," said Peterson. "What is needed is a liaison bureau, such as ours, to work with the industry instead of pressuring it." Washington police anticipate possible trouble tomorrow. Not just at Lincoln Memorial, where more than 100,000 citizens will gather to denounce segregation. Virtually the entire District of Columbia police force will be on hand there to keep order.

Morris "Little Mo" a 11, younger brother of Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, shocked Arizona labor leaders recently.

Udall, who moved into his big brother's House seat two years ago, addressed a state-wide meeting of Arizona labor leaders in Tucson. He heard John Evans, secretary-treasurer of the state AFL- CIO, plead for candidates who would back repeal of Section Mb of the Taft Hartley Act, which permits right-to-work laws. Udall, whose COPE voting record is 82 per cent pro-labor, was blunt: "I don't think such a candidate" would ever reach Washington to cast the vote." He reminded those present that Arizona citizens had voted solidly to enact the law 16 years ago and had subsequently turned down two attempts to repeal it. The Kennedy Administration finished up fiscal 1963 less than two months ago with more than $87 billion in appropriated funds not yet' spent. The figure, largest in history, was revealed earlier this month by' the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Funds that are not only unspent, but not yet earmarked for specific use, total $40.5 billion, the committee found. Unexpended foreign aid monies were placed at $6.9 billion. Combined with the $4 billion plus now asked by the Administration, the total available for such aid in the coming year may reach $11 billion. Republicans claim this is evidence that David Bell, foreign aid director, has "consistently overestimated funds needed for his program." As of June 30, the Department of Agriculture had $3 billion on hand, of which $1.4 billion was un- obligated and unreserved. The Defense Department had $30.8 billion, of which $8.8 billion was tagged for nothing in particular.

The total of $87.1 billion in unspent funds compares with $98.8 billion that President Kennedy asked Congress last January to appropriate Government spending in fiscal 1964.
