AILY NEWS Editorial Comment Estherville, Iowa, Daily News, Friday, Oct. 10, 1969 4 The Senatorial Election Emmet, Palo Alto and Pocahontas counties will be voting in less than three weeks on a replacement for Sen. Walter B. Hammer, who died after serving only one term in the Iowa Assembly. The two major parties have made their nominations.

Election preparations are now under way. The Democratic nominee is former state senator John Kibble and the Republican nominee is S. J. Brownlee. Both reside at Emmetsburg.

NO EMMET CANDIDATES WERE TEMPTED to enter the race, largely because the district will be reshaped. Emmet will be omitted from it after the next election. As both of the candidates nominated live in a continuing part of the district, the winner stands a chance of being re-elected, after the addition of parts of Clay and Buena Vista counties to the 45th district. Emmet will become teamed with Kossuth and Humboldt counties in a senatorial district, and with north Kossuth in a House district It had been Senator Hammer's plan not to oppose Sen. Wayne Keith of Algona but to run for the house in place of Rep.

Leo Sanders, who will not be a candidate for re-election in 1970. ONLY ONE ISSUE HAS DEVELOPED as yet in the coming special election Oct. 28 to fill the senate vacancy but others may follow. The issue in Emmet County at least is the future of the Arts and Sciences school of Iowa Lakes Community College. Brownlee has given assurances to Emmet Republicans that if elected he will keep hands off the Iowa Lakes Community College.

He has said publicly that he will abide strictly by the decisions of the Area board and will support its basic dual- site policy. It was the fear of Emmet County voters that an Emmetsburg group would seek to dismantle the arts and sciences college here that was regarded as the key factor in the contest between Hammer and Kibbie in the last election. More Weigh Stations In its wisdom, the State Highway commission is establishing more weighing stations throughout the state to apprehend truckers in violation of state laws. This is undoubtedly good procedure. Laws do not enforce themselves.

And it has been proved many times over that only those laws are respected that receive adequate enforcement THERE IS PROBABLY A GOOD EXPLANATION for it, but many motorists are deeply mystified that on so many occasions when they drive by weighing stations they are closed. Could not the existing stations, in which considerable capital is invested, be made to do more hours of service by staffing them for more shifts? The problem may not be that simple, and if it isn't then the public ought to be informed. PERHAPS IF THE STATIONS are operated all of the time, truckers simply avoid them. That could be the reason. Perhaps there are others.

The public is sure of one thing though: the laws regulating trucks should be just and fair, and whatever they are, they should be fairly and rigidly enforced on all not just some of them. Whatever the commission does to tighten observance of the law will undoubtedly prove profitable for the state. How to Read a Newspaper BY WILLIAM HILL (Associate Editor, Washington Star) 1. READ YOUR NEWSPAPER EVERY DAY. Make newspaper reading a habit, like eating dinner.

Don't miss a daily installment in its story of the world. 2. DON'T BE HEADLINE-HAPPY. Headlines give you only what's the menu. You can pick your meal from a menu, but for pleasure or profit you have to eat it.

3. DON'T BE PAGE-ONE-HAPPY. Don't read merely the first page. Your news may be inside. There's more news inside than on Page One, for you, it may be better news.

4. DON'T BE ONE-SUBJECT HAPPY. The one-noters read their sports, crime news or comics for entertainment. Sticking to their chief interests, they're picking up pennies, leaving dollars. 5.

BE A FACT-SEEKER. Look to the news columns for your facts. Then play the game of checking upon the columnists and editorial writers. You may be the better thinker. 6.

READ WITH BOTH EYES. Note qualifying words and attributions. Don't take a charge for a conviction, a rumor for a fact, or a plan for an accomplishment. 7. DON'T BE A READING COWARD.

It takes a knowledge of both sides to make up your mind easily. Don't be afraid to read opinion at complete variance with your own. 8. GET OUT OF YOUR READING RUT. Use your newspaper to give yourself a mental job.

Read at least one thing daily that's completely apart from your normal interests. 9. DO YOUR SHOPPING AT HOME. Whether it's food, clothes, or a roof over your head you want, you'll find the best buys in the advertising columns of your newspaper. 10.

RELAX AND ENJOY THE FUN. Your newspaper doesn't forget there's a lighter side tolife and neither should you. Try the comics, the crossword puzzle or the word game. OUT OUR WAY By Neg Cochran Ofe, Say Can You See Critics May Force Nixon To Alter Vietnam Policies NEA Washington Correspondent With antiwar criticism due to reach a new crescendo in the middle of this month, President Nixon may find himself under heavy pressure to alter his course in Vietnam. If that pressure should prove compelling, then perhaps the very easiest change the President could undertake would be to do up to a certain point what he said in his Sept.

26 press conference he would not do. That is to decide upon and announce publicly, for the benefit of Saigon and Hanoi and the American citizenry, a set schedule of U.S. troop withdrawals up to the end of 1970. When Nixon rejected such a plan on Sept. 26, he had in mind the proposal of New York's Sen.

Charles Goodell that Congress should openly resolve to cut off all funds for all U.S. troops in Vietnam by Dec. 1, 1970. The likelier prospect, if the President's hand is forced, is that a set withdrawal schedule carrying to late 1970 would call for removal of all U.S. ground combat troops presently remaining force upwards of 275,000 but retention of approximately 200,000 logistical support troops and substantial air and sea power to assist the 1,000,000 man South Vietnamese armies.

Published reports not contradicted by either principal have both Secretary of State William Rogers and Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird favoring a similar plan. It should not go unnoticed that this notion of a fixed schedule for withdrawal of all ground combat forces by 1970s close is the brainchild of one of the administration's ablest and most responsible critics, former retary Clark Clifford. Clifford's plan hit the light last June with word of his July Foreign Affairs magazine piece on the issue. The President said then he hoped to outdo Clifford's proposed schedule. But he declined commitment to an announced, step-by-step pullout.

The presidential argument against this is that it relieves Hanoi of critical pressure and encourages it to delay a settlement until after a proposed terminal date for withdrawals. In a critic's words, it would let Hanoi "lie behind the log and wait." The answering defense for the Clifford plan states that maximum pressure, applied with our peak force of 550,000, did not soften the resolves of Hanoi, and that a negotiated settlement in Paris or anywhere else seems today totally unrealistic. The defense goes on to argue: The Clifford proposals, involving withdrawals with no strings attached, are wholly independent of any performance or nonperformance by either Saigon or Hanoi. We would simply serve both sides notice of our fixed schedule, and proceed to implement it. The Thieu-Ky government would be thrust on its own except for support efforts, free to fight on if it chose, or to settle with Hanoi and the Viet Cong.

Says one source: "With their million-man army and our logistical and air-sea backing, they can defend South Vietnam if they have the will."
