Pabliikw I The People Speak Please write briefly. Sign name and address, Nurse Aide License Cieplinski Is Best Choice For U.S. Security Job Editor, The Arizona Republic: By HOLMES ALEXANDER WASHINGTON, D.C-Before the Stennis subcommittee on preparedness begins on Jan. 23 to examine the "No Win" policy at the Pentagon. the American public is entitled to know what the Stennis group will find if it looks hard enough.

The material I am using is available to the senators. There is nothing here that they will not find in the directives of the National Security Council, many of which, originate at the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department and are filtered through the Defense Department Let us begin with an official but imprecise defi-: nition of the pelicy which shaft not win against Russia." The administration's in-. formation chief, Edward R. Murrow, who sits in on National Security Council meetings, put it in these, words: "Fundamentally, the thing to which we are opposed is the aggressive nature of the Communist state." The Imprecision would be mended If Murrow had added one word, "military." This administration, like General Eisenhower's before it, is opposed to the "military aggressive nature of the Communist state." It is not against communism, which tries to "bury" us by propaganda, subversion and regimented labor. THIS IS the heart of the matter, the gist of the "No Win" policy, the finger of fate which writes upon the wall.

The White House, since the decision to seek a short-of-victory peace in Korea, has been opposed to the use of force for resolving international disputes. Public speeches, campaign pledges, disarmament talks and congressional resolutions, dozens of organizations tor "peace" and scores of books with pious, peace-loving titles, all go to make up this Anatomy of Appeasement all are given approval sometimes loud and clear, sometimes tacit by the President and the brain trust which forms and speaks his mind. We have a military policy called "deterrence." Its purpose is to deter warbut the purpose ought to be to deter communism. We should have a policy to defeat communism, not to tolerate it. The Communist policy against us is one of obliteration.

The Marxians have borrowed from Machiavelli, Mahon and Clausewitz in their determination to bury capitalistic democracy. Nowhere on earth is communism tolerant of our form of government Everywhere the Reds are out to frustrate and destroy our way of living. But our response to this challenge is to outlaw war, to shareour-wealth, to build defensive (no win) alliances and THUS WE coddle and befriend Red regimes which are not overtly aggressive as military. powers. When President Kennedy was in the Senate, he introduced and supported bills to aid the Red regimes of Poland and Yugoslavia.

Now that he's President Mr. Kennedy unofficially declares that these are "friendly" nations, so that he may send them food under the agricultural giveaway plan called Public Law 480. If the U.S.A. were out to defeat the Soviet empire, we would not aid these satellites. I talked1 with Mr.

Kennedy when he was a senator and heard him contend that the American aid helps to make Poland and Yugoslavia more independent of the Soviet bloc But now that he's President and has a commander in chiefs responsibility for waging the cold war, it is hard to see how he perseveres in this aid to communism when his job is to deter and defeat communism. The only plausible explanation Is that President Kennedy, a fire-eating patriot, has become dependent, upon "No Win" brain-trusters. It should be reiterated (as this column often has done) that the "No Winners" are not Reds or traitors. They call themselves internationalists, or "democratic. Socialists." They believe that time is on our side, that an "evolution" will make Russia more democratic, the U.S.A.

more socialistic, and the world more united. All of this, however. Is based on theory and flies In the face of fact. There is no democracy anywhere in the Communist state, no chance whatever for the people to revolt against their political police, who conduct periodic purges of every dissatisfied group. There is only one way for the peoples under communism to be liberated, and that is by military pressure and military rescue by the Western powers.

BUT OUR "No Win" policy precludes the use of our expensive military machine except in self-defense. The "No Win" policy did not react to Castro's Red revolution of 1959. The President declined to denounce the Red conquest of Finland in 1961 when Khrushchev blackmailed that little country into holding what amounts to a pro-Soviet, one-party, one-candidate election for Its president. Only when it became evident that Castro was building a military force to attack nearby Latin American countries did the State Department Issue an anti-Communist white paper against Cuba. Not until Russia occupies Finnish bases will we take alarm.

This administration Is against war It is not against communism. I invite the Stennis subcommittee to examine the documents and the witnesses which constitute the "No Win" poTicy. The senators will soon see that the "No Win" policy is giving us peace and defeat in the same package. Do You Remember? Five Years Age Today, Jan. 21.

IM7 Temperature high 63, low 39, partly cloudy. Jeffle Gilpin, 18, a junior at Yuma Union High School, has been chosen queen of the Jaycee-sponsored Silver Spur Rodeo to be held in Yuma, Feb. 9 and 10. Nearly 200 scientists and engineers and observers meet here today for a solar furnace symposium. The meeting is sponsored by the Association of Applied Solar Energy, the University of Arizona and Arizona State University.

20 Years Ago Today, Jan. 21, 1942 Temperature high 73, low 41. Filipino and American artillerymen are more than holding their own in bitter day and night death dueling with Japanese gunners on Bataan Everyman Problem Internal Threat Greatest Danger By HARRY TV EVERINGHAM E.G.S. writes: "We read again and again in (he New York Times, the Washington Post, the Denver Post and the St Louis Post-Dispatch that there is no. danger from communism within that our only danger is external.

The impression we get from reading these papers is that anyone who talks of the internal danger is a nut. a fanatic, an extremist, who is creating suspicion and distrust of our government. What do you say to that?" Dear Mr. Let's take a specific example and see how the Communists work from within our institutions. Over a year ago, on Dec 5, 1960.

a Communist Manifesto came out of Moscow where the Com-' munist party was then holding its International conference. Gus Halt, who is the highest official of the Communist party in the U.S., returned from Moscow and made this statement: "The primary target is the military and its anti-Communist statements and seminars." SEN. STROM THURMOND says that this order proves that our military leaders were doing such an excellent job of informing our people and their troops about the dangers of communism that the Communist party felt that steps had to be taken to silence our military leaders. Senator Thurmond accused the New York Times and Washington Post and "a number of other left-wing newspapers and periodicals" of carrying this Communist line. "I don't say thee papers are Communist," he added, "but I say they render mis country a great disservice when they pick up tits Communist line and help the Communists to accomplish their goal in this country." Senator Thurmond points out, "We are at war now.

It is not a military war it is a psychological war. It is a war for the minds of the people." THE COMMUNISTS, with the aid of our left-wing press, and radio and TV networks, work to make it unpopular for a citizen to rpeak in public in a patriotic manner. They've even succeeded beyond that they have had the President of the United States label anyone who speaks against the internal danger of communism as an extremist subject to ridicule by his friends and neighbors. But those who have studied Communist strategy know the inroads they have made here. Communists now have agents in key posts in U.S.

communications, transportation, power and in the government Itself. A Senate Internal Security Subcommittee report of 1953 revealed that only a fraction of the Communist cells operating in our government have been exposed. No exposure has been made since men because the U.S. Supreme Court made it impossible for the attorney general to convict Communists. The Political Scene Budget Message Is Disappointing By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON Few persons know that the budget message the President has submitted to Congress, is a book of 112 pages containing all sorts of tables and statistics which never reach any considerable number of voters.

The taxpayers who foot the bill are nevertheless expected to rely on their senators and representatives to decide in their behalf whether a proposal to spend $92.5 billion a year makes sense. It's a record-breaking amount for peacetime spending. One would hardly guess, after reading the section of the message devoted to national defense expenditures, that the spending program for non-military projects virtually ignores the existence of a world situation involving the possibility of a war. The concept that sacrifices must be made when there's a war threatened or in progress-such as a cold war is not given much weight. The budget, instead, takes it for granted mat America can spend as usual and afford more and more luxuries.

More than 70 items either provide new expenditures never before undertaken by the federal government, or increase existing expenditures on the nonmilitary side. THE PRESIDENT, of course, promises a balanced budget with what he calls a "modest surplus" of $463 million. But he admits he might be wrong. Where he is likely to be mistaken is in his estimate of expected tax receipts. Corporations are expected to earn nearly $10.5 billion more in profits in the calendar year 1962, so that the government can derive $5.3 billion more in taxes in the 1963 fiscal year.

Individuals are expected to increase their incomes to such an extent that they can pay the government $4.3 billion more than in the current fiscal year. By the time June 30, 1963. rolls around, most people probably will have forgotten the promise of a balanced budget. Besides, there will be the usual alibis about "unforeseen circumstances" or those "beyond our control." WHAT IS MOST disappointing about President Kennedy's budget is his assumption that, because certain expenses can be reduced, it is Immediately necessary to find other ways to spend the same money. Debt retirement or a general reduction in taxes is given no consideration.

It is widely believed that the military side of the budget Is the cause of all the big increases In federal expenditure. Actually national defense has gone up from $51.3 billion this year to $52.7 billion, or an increase of $1.5 billion. The rest of the budget, however, has gone up from $37.9 lion to $39.8 billion, or, an increase of $1.9 billion. Nowhere In the message is there much encouragement or stimulus for American business ni a whole. Indeed, there are some discouraging factors, such as the administration's plan to throw a monkey wrench Into the operations of American companies that have factories overseas which compete with Europeans and still send back big profits to the United States In the form of substantial dividends each year to be taxed here.

In fact, the administration Itself is not too sure the nation is going to experience a substantial recovery from the recent recession. SOME recommendations favor more public-works spending. But It is not explained how such big projects can be launched by the federal government and put Into operation quickly enough to Increase employment before the recession has run its course anyway. Not a word In the message refers to the power of the big labor union monopoly to bring on another recession through a strike in steel or In other major Industries, or to the effect this might have on those $10.5 billion of extra profits for corporations which the President so confidently predicts and explicitly Includes in hli financial fotecast ot the American people.

John i Unequal Voter Strength A dominant character of American" life has been the urbanization of the population. Once overwhelmingly agrarian, the States today counts most of its citizenry in metropolitan areas. This is particularly true in Arizona, where half of the people in the state live in Maricopa County. Statisticians say 60 per cent of the state's population will be in the Phoenix area in another 10 years. However, the shift of people from country to city has not been accompanied by a corresponding shift of political power.

The small counties hold overwhelming political power in the state legislature. All too often they use it to the disadvantage of Phoenix and, to a lesser degree, of Tucson. A case in point: The House minority in the state legislature actually represents more voters than the House majority. Of course, Arizona is not unique in this respect. Illinois legislature has always been dominated the southern counties, despite the vast concentration of population in and around Chicago.

In Michigan, Detroit voters became fed up with the political strength of small counties, and the state Is now redrawing its constitution, Recently the University of Virginia made an interesting county-by-county evaluation of voting strength in each of the 50 states in the union. It found that big city voters in Phoenix and Maricopa County have one-tenth the representation, based on population, of people in open-country areas in the state. The study established a standard of 100 per cent as the strength of a vote if all persons, rural and urban, had the same representation in the legisla- ture. It found the vote of a person in Maricopa County was only 53 per cent effective, while the vote of a person in Mohave, Greenlee, Graham and Santa Cruz counties was 533 per cent effective. Thus one vote in these small counties is worth 10 votes in Maricopa County so far as the state legislature is concerned.

Nor is the inequality limited to the legislature. Arizona will send a third congressman to Washington as a result of this year's national elections. He will represent a district with about one-third the population of District 1 (Maricopa County). So iwhen it comes to representation in Washington next year, the person in Flagstaff, say, will be three times as strongly (not necessarily three times as well) represented as the voter in Phoe-aix. That the balance of political strength will have to be redressed is evident.

There is a case on its Vay through the U.S. Supreme Court that may result in this being done by compulsion. But regard-. kss of the courts, the legislators from the small counties would be well advised to give all possible consideration to the interests of the big counties. If they don't do it willingly, they may have to do it unwillingly.

The Power Of The U.N. "No room for a fighting U.N." is the title of a very sensible editorial published recently by one, of the best European newspapers, the Daily Telegraph, of London, England. The Telegraph argues, quite rightly, that an international organization like the U.N. can effectively play its role in world if its activities "correspond to political reality!" The United Nations is not end cannot organization existing, as it were, by itself, suspended in the diplomatic outer space above and the political air which envelopes the independent sovereign states on the planet. There is, in other words, no such thing as a policy" in this or that part of the world, nor a "U.N.

solution" of this or that international problem. There is instead a policy of the majority of U.N. members, or a policy of those U.N. delegates who, for one reason or another, manage to force their political thinking on the governing bodies of the U.N. the security council and the Secretariat.

The London Telegraph then discusses the U.N. adventure in the Congo which started over 18 months ago under the leadership of the late U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. The Telegraph thinks the Hammarsjkold policy in the Congo was mistaken and dangerous, though no "doubt "inspired by the highest motives." Hammarskjold thought that he could organize inside the Congo a separate power center, independent of the two great alliances existing in the world today the free world led by the United States, the Communist alliance led by Russia. At best, the Congo policy of Hammarskjold was Ian illusion.

As military commander, the U.N. secretary general was "saddled with a motley army incapable of united effort; as governor, he had to rmake do with second-rate administrators and 'ex-perts, utterly inexperienced in the colonial arts." I The result has been general chaos, which is T-likely to worsen in the future in spite of optimistic circulated by the State Department and rthe United Nations, about a visible of the Congo situation. The mere fact that Hoday, 18 months after it started establishing "law order" in the Congo, the United Nations again demanding more money for further "pacification activities" as a convincing proof of the almost complete failure of the U.N.'s pacifying efforts. As things go on, the U.N. might need another 18 months, and then still another 18 months for "law and order" action, and this at the rate 1 of $10 million a month for the pay of its military forces alone! The United Nations, the London Telegraph "warns, should not develop into "a supra-international agency." It should try to act as a mediator between contesting parties, and not as an enforcer ot its own "law and order" through military ac-ttion.

By its Intervention in the Congo, and especially 'by its war against Katanga, the United Nations thai descended into the arena of national politics. "It has "resorted to the tricks of war, it has de-istroved life and property, it is morally completely discredited," the London Telegraph concludes. We fully agree. .2 either. Most of the fathers of this country were immigrants.

English immigrants fought the English Red Coats during the U.S. Revolutionary War. Our last war efforts were handled by some immigrants, too. It was an immigrant who invented our first nuclear bomb, and he has relatives in East Germany. There is a Pole (Paderewski) depicted on an American postage stamp as a champion of liberty, and he was a pianist Szymczak was one of the three U.S.

Bank Reserve governors tpr quarter of a century with a perfect record until his retirement; Colonel Gabreski is our air force war hero; STEFANSKI, Sadowski, Lowi-cki, Bogdan and Mata were the first five Poles invited to Jamestown. by Capt John Smith in 1608 to help him establish our first industry, the Glasshouse and glass production; General ruls ski is the father of American cavalry. General Kosciuszko is the father of our artillery (an author of the first official U.S. artillery manual book "Manouvers of Horse Artillery" written in 1800). Col.

James A. Zabriski of Tucson became United States attorney for Arizona, appointed by President Arthur in 1881. Later Zabriski drew the bill which passed the legislature authorizing the establishment of the University of Arizona, at Tucson, and of this Institution he was appointed a regent in March 1901. Mr. Dillon, of Polish origin, is our present secretary of the treasury.

And what about waters, Korricks and Solomons of Solomonville, aren't they a magnificent gift of Poland to Arizona? I could continue indefinitely this list of Poles who did exceptionally well whenever called upon. In his work, "The Conquest of Virginia" (page 823). Conway Whittle Sams leaves his readers with a following comment: "All we know of the first Poles in Jamestown, (1608-1619) is to their credit." All I know of Michel Proposal Protested Editor, The Arizona In answer to the article by Ber-. nice Jones in the Jan. 14 Lady Fare section of The Arizona Republic, I would like to comment on the proposed legislation of practical nurse licensure for nurses' aides.

The present Arizona Nursing Practice Act enacted in 1952, states that it is mandatory for the professional nurse to be registered. For the same length of time it has been a permissive law for practical nurses, meaning that they may be, but do not have to be licensed in Arizona. THE PRESENT qualifications for practical nurse licensure include the satisfactory completion of the one year basic curriculum in an accredited practical nursing school, or its equivalent as determined by the State Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education, which is St Scsst one and one half years in an accredited professional school, if it has included the four basic fields of medical, surgical, obstetrical and pediatric nursing. Any exception, to or waiver of the educational requirements, now, or at any other time, would lower the standards of nursing care. In our present day of many reactions from complicated medications, and the ever increasing responsibility placed on the nurse by the physician, especially in private duty, we should all want to raise, not lower the educational requirements for practical nurse licensure.

I FEEL CERTAIN, that no parent would rest secure if the clerk behind the cosmetic counter, or the cashier, in the drug store, whether she had worked in that store for two years or even 10 years, were allowed to fill the prescription for their child, instead of a registered pharmacist. Every hospital, rest home, convalescent home, and many, many other health agencies employ nurses' aides. We need them. But to just give all of them a license to practice as a licensed practical nurse without the completion of the educational requirements would not safeguard the health or welfare of the public, which is the obligation of the State Beard of Nursing. Your editorial, "Foggy Bottom" (Republic, Jan.

11), is wrong on one score: You seem to omit consideration of Michel Cieplinski's abilities. I know him. We worked together for two years in New York 21 years ago. He showed such unusual talents then that I knew he was destined to become an important figure in public life. Brilliant mind and staunch character.

I talked to him three months ago in Washington. To those who know him it was a certainty that when Cieplinski takes an oath of office, that oath will be sacred to him. He was born, raised and educated in Poland. Very early in life he became a man of worldwide ideas to reckon with. He knows Europe, he knows the treachery of new European intrigues, he is acquainted with all methods of enemy infiltration and indoctrination with all the trimmings.

He is nobody's fool, he is not an "ugly American" chosen from among the "babes in the woods." There is no man better fit to have jurisdiction over passports, visas, refugee matters, and internal security than Michel Cieplinski. AS FOR the blackmail of his relatives in Poland by the Reds, please rest assured that he gave it a due thought before he took the oath of his office. Blackmail to a Pole is a kindergarten toy. It shouid be remembered that he stems from the people who for four years during the Nazi occupation, and before that for 150 years, were forced to watch in market places how their relatives were hanged just for being Poles, and even then the watchers didn't budge an inch in their hard attitude toward the enemy. If Cieplinski's loyalty to this country, of which he is a full-fledged citizen, worries you, please forget it.

With Cieplinski in the U.S. Bureau of Security you can sleep as secure as I do. Cieplinski was cut out to be the administrator of the State Department's Bureau of Security, not his deputy. The fact that he was an immigrant some quarter of a century ago should not disturb us, Cieplinski is to his credit ARTHUR L. WALDO, War-Time Chief of the Polish Section, Office of Strategic Services, Washington, D.C.

BROTHER JUNIPER By McCarthy Reno della addington. lpn Correction Editor, The Arizona Republic: In the Jan. Issue of The Arizona Republic, an article ap. peered telling about World Constitution. The news source was listed as AP from Washington.

As one of the force who prepared the news release in Washington, I should like to call your attention to an error in Interpretation. Thane Read of Tempe has never said that he originated the idea of a World Constitution. This Idea has been advocated by many organizations and many individuals throughout the world. These people would be unhappy to hear of anyone claiming to have originated this Idea. The unique contribution by Mr.

Read Is the manner in which the convention has been called, namely, by the agreement of prominent citizens from many countries to sign a call for the convention and the subsequent issuance of the call by these people.
