Exclusive: In still another journalistic scoop, I have managed for the first time to interview a member of the Silent Majority, It wasn't easy.

hitical would like to venture out i nobody has ever interviewed We feel that voters should have enough intelligence to on a limb and say there are one likely to be some changes made make their own choices without i at thege having to rely on someone else to tell them for whom they should vote for president. About the only thing we have to offer is a bit of speculation that the voters will speak out loudly tomorrow and say on the national scene that they have had enough. We're speaking about the presidency. We suspect American voters will tell the current crop of Wonderful Wizards of Washington that they are. not in favor of four more years of the same.

As a political prognosticate 1 we probably rank with the world's right now that's the way it stacks up. Getting closer to home, we hope that 18th Congressional District voters will send Bob Price back to the House of Representatives. We believe he deserves another term. It seems to us he has earned the respect of his constituents as an independent and champion of the individual and his rights, and that in his first two years as a freshman congressman he has worked hard in the Interest of the people whom he represents. With two years of experience In the House behind him; he should be even more It's just that the body politic of voters may be so much in the mood for change at the top on the national scene that the thing may be contagious and go all the way down the line, landslide style.

There is another observation that can be made about any Majority?" I asked. (His real However, I managed to get a member of the Silent Mjaority to grant me an Interview by coaxing him into a Voting Booth. (They had the voting Booths out of the warehouse briefly for a regular pre-election checkup to make doubly sure the directions made no sense.) "How long, Mr. Y. have you been a member of th Silent election something voters should keep in mind tomorrow.

It is an issue of over-riding importance: Which of the candidates at any level on the ballot would increase the size and powers of government and which one would curtail those powers and even cut them back? In those places where a public official the President of the United States, a state, district or local candidate has an opportunity to exercise some influence over the size and scope of government, the voter can express his political philosophy. We have a feeling that the American voters will speak out decisively tomorrow on that issue. But, as we said, when it comes to political predictions, that's us 'way down there at the bottom of the ratings. name Is not He looked at me silently. "0 I said, closing the curtains in the booth.

"We ought to study the'sayings of Mao to see if we can find the secret of his felicitous approach to academic problems.

Then, unless someone comes up with a better solution (and they may) we ought to embrace his doctrine." The writer pointed out that American campuses could not match the orderly, tranquil campuses of Red China and since the restive students were mostly from the New Left, we should find what induces among them. As the Item concluded, "Even a Communist may have a good idea once in awhile." Although the editorial had the ring of seriousness, we have no way of knowing how dedicated to such persuasion the writer might have been.

Apparently we have missed in teaching our offspring what freedom really state of living one's life peaceably while allowing all others to do the same. Living it fruitfully is an added bonus for everyone. We have so long talked of the "land of the free," with the connotation that land or country means government, "the dispenser of freedom," that our young people have not learned that only people can act individually in freedom. Government is an apparatus, not an entity.

The existence of a credibility gap regarding official Washington pronouncements makes us wonder to what extent racial controversy has actually reared its ugly head in South Vietnam.

They do not seem to consider that freedom, whether academic or otherwise, is freedom for all, not just a few students or teachers.

They do not seem to give any consideration to the bulk of teachers who want to conduct their classes in a spirit of seeking U'uth. They also do not consider that if there is freedom, it must include those who are paying the bills. Probably this attitude is because the government has become totally involved in the schools. Even many private schools are dependent on government subsidies for such things as scholarships and research grants. When the schools are taken out of the market place, where instruction is designed to satisfy the teachers, the pupils and longer quoted by Vermont Royster in the Wall Street Journal, said he did not condemn "the taking of the buildings" and thought it "a silly piety" for others to do so.

Royster also points out that Prof. E. Allen Farnsworth, a professor of law no less, stated that he could not align himself with "the so-called law and order side of the issue." Prof. F. W.

Dupee, according to Royster, saw in the uprising "a passion for justice and truth." Capitalism and free enterprise have been criticized so much in our universities that one wonders why we still have a large majority of students who believe in them and who condemn collectivism in general and Marxism in particular.
